Chapter 154 The Battle of Texas

Zhu Song continued: "If we take down such a large piece of land and rest, it will be much better than before. The grain and grass in Liaodong are ripe every year, and we will not be able to count on it when the spring of the next year, but we can still obtain grain and grass and soldiers in Dezhou again."

"The court is not good at fighting in the north in winter. This is our great opportunity. We can rest and recuperate until the spring of the following year."

"And in the cold winter, the Yuan people on the grassland had almost the same food and grass. According to the customs of previous years, they would inevitably come to the border to plunder the people. Whether it is Liaodong or Beiping, whether we are against the court or not, I think we should be responsible for the people on the border in this matter."

"So I think we must protect the people on the frontier this year no matter what, and we must not let the people suffer for our family affairs!"

After hearing this, Zhu Di deeply agreed. What Zhu Song said made sense. Since he rebelled, he had to find a way to win the hearts of the people. If he could rebel while he was still concerned about the safety of the people in the frontiers, then the spread of this incident was undoubtedly a recognition of his positive image. After all, the emperor who loves the people would not be too bad.

"Okay, just follow my 20s. This year, we will take advantage of the victory and slap Li Jinglong's butt, and then after a winter, we will protect the border from the Yuan people on the grassland to harass the people."

...

In the next few days, the Northern Army took advantage of the victory and kept pursuing the imperial army. A surprising thing happened. Li Jinglong was forced to Dezhou City. When he heard that the Northern Army was fighting again, he was so scared that he ran away.

Just run away, he made that old habit again. Zhu Di and Zhu Song led the soldiers to take good care of the battle outside the north gate of Dezhou, and he took advantage of the chaos and ran away from the south gate.

Li Jinglong led his troops, but there were not many talents under his command. These guys could not unify all the soldiers and could only fight on their own, but they were not opponents of the Northern Army.

So within two days, Dezhou City was captured. From Beiping to Dezhou, almost one-sixth of the land in the Ming Dynasty fell into Zhu Di's hands, which was not counted as the third period of Liaodong.

As a result, the whole world was in an uproar, and all forces saw that the Yan King had a great chance of winning. After taking over Dezhou City before winter, the north immediately suffered a few days of snow. The Southern Army was not suitable for fighting in a severe cold environment, and now it was snowing so heavily. There was no need to compare the combat power, and it was simply impossible to compare.

After taking over Dezhou City, Zhu Di obtained a lot of food, grass, weapons, and prisoners, which made Zhu Di very poor.

The court faced the north, and seeing that the north had entered the cold winter, he could only be incompetent and furious. He was so angry that he stamped his feet, but he could not lead his troops north, and he could not choose a good future commander from the court.

It was said that Jianwen was enough. Li Jinglong lost consecutive battles. When he arrived at the battle of Texas, he even left his soldiers behind him and ran back alone.

Jianwen ordered Li Jinglong to think about his mistakes at home. If it were Zhu Di or Zhu Song, such a general would have been slashed with one stroke.

Jianwen wanted to show the image of kindness to the whole world, but this was too stubborn. He not only showed his own image, but also showed his stupid image.

No matter how much the King of Yan could fight, he had only one person, only military horses from Peking. But as a result, the imperial court spent nearly two years but still failed to take over Peking, and even retreated step by step.

In this move, the court had lost a while in front of thousands of people and subjects in the world, and the people's hearts gradually moved closer to the King of Yan and King Han.

If there was only King Yan, then rebellion would be considered a rebellion by the vassal kings at most. But if the four foreign kings, King Han, King Liao and King Ning, rebelled together, then this matter would not be that simple.

Whether it is officials or the people, gossip is human nature. As long as they are given a chance, they will indulge in fantasy and imagine what happened, which will make the four vassal kings rebellious. Is it because the court is kind or the four vassal kings are forced to go to the fore.

In fact, such a thing happened in the country. If the people and subjects stood on the court unconditionally, it was enough to explain the problem. It can be said that there are endless troubles.

However, the court was anxious, and it had nothing to do with Zhu Di and Zhu Song. The two of them could be said to be relaxed and happy now, and the rebellion cause was a bright future.

After taking over Dezhou City, Peking can now be said to be calm.

In his spare time, Zhu Di and Zhu Song would also bring the three sons of the King of Yan and a group of generals to the outskirts of Peking to fight. The wild animals that were full of wild animals returned. At night, the Yan Palace relied on these wild games to eat meat.

Zhu Song has lived in the Yan Prince's Mansion these days and has only felt one thing, reunion and harmony, especially Zhu Gaoxu seems to have no doubts about his elder brother after this Jingnan Battle.

As for Zhu Di, as a person who has become a grandfather, he naturally loves Zhu Zhanji. Every day, as long as he is idle, he will run to his son and daughter-in-law to watch the child.

Their family is harmonious and harmonious, which makes Zhu Song miss home and his princess. In the past few days, Zhu Song and the princesses have been in exchange for letters with each other in Peking.

Everything is very good at home. Li Gouzi has now officially named Li Yu in the army. Li Yu is in charge in Kaiyuan City, and Zhu Song is very relieved.

Li Yu had always taught him how to fight on the battlefield, learn military tactics, and how to recognize words. They were all brought by his father-in-law, but Li Yu took a completely opposite path.

If he had to say something, Li Ao led his troops to fight, he was quite like the King of Yan. He liked to lead the way, but he could also take action when he was in charge of command.

So, Kaiyuan City was handed over to Li Ya to guard and Zhu Song's family was handed over to Li Ya to protect. Zhu Song was very relieved.

When Zhu Song was alone, he had no family background, no wife, and no children. He fed himself and his whole family was not hungry. Although such a life was free and happy, he was like a house without a roof. He could enjoy the wind in the wilderness, smell the fragrance of flowers outside the wall, and breathe the bitter cold wind, but he could not shelter from the wind and rain.
