Chapter 595 Geng Bingwen's Defeat
Prince Jin winked and, holding a piece of melon, approached Zhu Di, who was cowering behind Zhu Biao, and said in a cheeky tone, "Hey, Fourth Prince, are you throwing watermelon? Want some?"
Zhu Di turned his back on him and ignored him completely. How childish!
Seeing that his little brother didn't react, Zhu Gang grunted a few times, "If he won't eat, I will!"
Zhu Biao, who had witnessed the whole thing, glanced at his father, who was deep in thought. How come he had never noticed before that his third son was so deserving of a beating? Having such a group of younger brothers was truly a blessing for him!
……
"The situation has developed to this point, but it must be said that compared to Zhu Yunwen's large army, Zhu Di only has tens of thousands of troops, which is still not enough."
"However, in most accounts, Zhu Yunwen's side also has its shortcomings, the most mainstream being..."
"Because Zhu Yunwen had eliminated many military generals, he had no generals to use, so he used the old general Geng Bingwen and Li Jinglong, another war god of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty: No, hehe...
Geng Bingwen: The good news is that I lived to see the Jianwen Emperor's reign; the bad news is that I lost when I faced the Prince of Yan!
Li Jinglong, who was listening to the live stream: ??? This title isn't a good thing!!
"But in fact, if we count the military generals of the Jianwen Emperor who were defeated by Zhu Di, such as Geng Bingwen, Guo Ying, and Gu Cheng, then..."
"Looking at their resumes, many of them were military generals who followed Zhu Yuanzhang in his campaigns, so they were probably capable. It has to be said that the military generals of the Ming Dynasty did indeed have many misfortunes."
"We managed to dodge Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, but we never expected that there would also be the Great War God of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen!"
Meanwhile, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said that he could not possibly fail to make proper arrangements for Yunwen!
The question is, how could a rebellious grandson manage to squander such a good hand and end up disappearing?
The more I look at it, the less it resembles the father; the son is nothing like the father!
"To get back to the main point, General Geng Bingwen, who was 65 years old at the time, was sent by Zhu Yunwen to deal with the Prince of Yan and led 130,000 troops to garrison in Zhengding Prefecture."
"By the way, Geng Bingwen has a very rich work experience. He served under Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, and also famous Ming Dynasty generals like Fu Youde and Lan Yu."
"Most importantly, he escaped the massacre of the Hongwu reign. To be able to evade the old Zhu, who killed people as easily as killing chickens, he was truly remarkable!"
Zhu Yuanzhang: This makes him sound like a murderous maniac!?
"On the other hand, Zhu Di was not without fear of Geng Bingwen's aggressive approach, after all, if he lost once, he could fall into an abyss."
"After investigating Geng Bingwen's plans, they took the initiative to attack, first by launching a surprise attack on Xiongxian, and then gradually defeating and capturing Mozhou. In the Jingnan Campaign, Zhu Di's luck also played a part. At this time, Geng Bingwen's general Zhang Bao surrendered."
"He revealed Geng Bingwen's plans and also gained a new profession—an inside man. As a result, General Geng lost the battle, and even some of his higher-ranking deputy generals were taken prisoner. So, in the end, General Geng could only lead his remaining troops to hold out in Zhengding."
"It seems that the younger generation surpasses the older generation. General Geng, being old, is indeed not as good as Zhu Di."
"When the news reached Yingtian, Zhu Yunwen felt a bloodline suppression. His fourth uncle was indeed a skilled warrior. Just as Zhu Yunwen was troubled, Huang Zicheng spoke up again!"
"We don't need to be afraid. If we can't beat 130,000, can't we beat 500,000? We can crush them with sheer force! Let's switch to Li Jinglong. That kid has the potential to be a war god!"
"And so, the first generation of war god seed of the Ming Dynasty makes his grand entrance!"
