Chapter 621 Post-Battle Shenzhou
"As for Shenzhou, it's actually not very far from Zhending Prefecture. We don't know how well Ping An, Wu Jie, and the others prepared at the time."
"But the Prince of Yan deserves praise for his military prowess; it is ridiculously high. He dispatched a team of elite cavalry in advance to conduct a deep flanking maneuver and get behind the Zhen Ding army."
"In this light, when fighting against Prince Yan, Zhu Di, we still need to be careful about the rear of our own troops, otherwise it will be easy for them to be raided."
Prince Yan, Zhu Di, disagreed, saying, "What do you mean by 'buttocks'? That's called strategy! Do you even understand military affairs, girl?"
During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han (Liu Che) was amused. This Prince of Yan was quite a source of amusement. He then turned to Wei Qing and gossiped, "The entire Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty were all quite the comedians!"
"If we had just given the position to the Prince of Yan, none of this would have happened!"
Wei Qing smiled without saying a word, thinking to himself, who can predict how things will develop in the future?
"Thus, in this battle of Shenzhou, the Zhen Ding Corps was backed by a thousand elite cavalrymen, while in front of them was the main force of the Yan army launching a fierce attack, resulting in the government troops being attacked from both sides."
"In the end, Zhu Di gained 3,000 warhorses, beheaded more than 10,000 people, and also captured the eunuch Changshou, who was sent by Emperor Jianwen, as well as commanders, centurions, and other officials."
Old Zhu was furious, his beard bristling and eyes wide with rage. Very well, everyone except him, Old Zhu, had eunuch underlings!
They don't remember the lessons of the previous dynasty, and they don't listen to his words. What an unfilial bunch of descendants!
"Afterwards, Zhu Di led the Yan army back north smoothly. Overall, not to mention the battles before the Jingnan Campaign, even in this year, the Central Army's record, even if it won, was still not good enough. Compared to the Yan Army, it was a 'poor student'!"
"Back then, you had the inheritance left by your grandfather, so you could squander it as you pleased. But now, the time left for Emperor Jianwen is running out."
In another timeline, Zhu Yunwen spread his hands, revealing his true intentions and no longer pretending. He couldn't even win against his fourth uncle when he became emperor, so how could he possibly win by becoming the grandson of the emperor?
He finally understood that no matter how many soldiers the Central Army had or how capable they were, if they encountered the Prince of Yan, they would either supply the enemy or be killed!
What else can he use to save his Jianwen Dynasty? His fragile, superficial uncle-nephew relationship?
“In the past, the people I feared most were those who were capable, talented, and also very stubborn. Coincidentally, the Prince of Yan was just that kind of person. After returning, with the Jingnan Rebellion still unfinished, how could Judy be idle!”
"For example, this time when he returned to Beiping and rested for more than a month, he felt that enough time had passed, and the whole army could then be thrown back into the cause of rebellion!"
"And so, the King of Yan was about to lead his troops south to fight again."
"I just don't know if my nephew is ready for the next round of battle?"
Zhu Yunwen: Heh, what a load of rubbish!
"But before we start, as usual, we still need to do some strategic planning. Given the current situation, which one should we deal with first, and how should we fight it?"
"Looking at the big picture, the Yan army, although not very wealthy, has a good leader. Every time before a battle he mobilizes the troops and after a battle he reassures them with his eloquent words, which makes many soldiers feel like they've been injected with adrenaline!"
Yan Army: We're charging into the government troops for Your Highness!
"So, this time, the Prince of Yan and his men decided to deal with the Dezhou army. However, that wouldn't stop them from first intimidating the Zhending army, making them mistakenly believe that the Yan army was going to attack them again. It's a feint, you know what I mean!"
