Facing 500,000 Ming soldiers, Zhu Di knew that he was no match for them.
Fortunately, the general leading the troops was Li Jinglong, a famous profligate son.
It could be seen that there were no generals in the Imperial Court that could be used.
Zhu Di first went to ask for reinforcements. He led his troops to Daning and sent his eldest son, Zhu Gaochi, to stay in Beiping.
Daning was the fief of Zhu Quan, the Seventeenth Prince of Ning. Not only was Zhu Quan resourceful, but he also controlled the powerful Duoyan Three Guards.
Zhu Di had a good relationship with him. Zhu Di guarded Yan while Zhu Quan guarded Daning, which was an important town set up by the Ming Dynasty on the border of the Mongolian grasslands.
Zhu Di persuaded Ning Wang to rebel and promised that after success, the two brothers would divide the world equally.
Knowing that Zhu Di had gone to Daning, Li Jinglong immediately led his troops to attack Beiping.
Commander Qu Neng broke through Zhangye Gate and was about to attack the city.
Li Jinglong shouted to stop.
It turned out that Qu Neng had stolen his credit, so he ordered the attack to stop.
Due to the enemy's arrogance, Zhu Gaochi seized the opportunity.
At night, he had his soldiers splash water on the city wall.
On the second day, the entire city wall was frozen, and the Ming army could not climb the city wall at all.
Li Jinglong wanted to take the credit for attacking the city, but looking at the incomparably smooth city walls, he could only sigh in despair.
Three Kingdoms World.
"Haha, interesting. The younger generation will also imitate my brilliant plan.”
"Making the city walls freeze is indeed the work of a genius. However, compared to my plan, it's still not as interesting!!”
Cao Cao twirled his beautiful beard and squinted his eyes as he watched the video. His face was filled with surprise and pride.
Back then, after Cao Cao had pacified the north, he had a great battle with Sun Liu and returned disappointed.
But at this moment, the Ma Clan in the northwest actually rebelled against Cao Cao.
Cao Cao used a clever plan to lure Ma Teng into the capital. He captured Ma Teng of Xiliang and killed him cruelly to intimidate the officials.
Then, he sent Han Sui a letter and easily drove a wedge between Han Sui and Ma Chao, causing them to have second thoughts.
After two moves, it was as if Ma Chao's left and right arms had been severed, and he was devastated.
However, Ma Chao was one of the Five Tigers after all. He swore to avenge his father and recklessly marched east to meet Cao Cao.
Cao Cao underestimated the enemy and led his army to the north bank of the Wei River.
The two armies faced each other.
Cao Cao, who wanted to end the battle quickly, ignored the fatigue of his soldiers and fought Ma Chao before setting up camp.
In the end, they were killed by Ma Chao, losing their armor and beards, causing heavy losses.
In order to prevent Ma Chao from ambushing again, Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to dig up the sand of the Wei River and build a high wall to defend against the cavalry.
However, the quality of the sand in the Wei River was too poor. Once the sand wall was built high, it would collapse, making Cao Cao worried.
Without the protection of the sand wall, Ma Chao's cavalry could charge in at any time. In the entire camp, it was as if they had entered an uninhabited place, killing people as easily as chopping melons.
Coincidentally, the Wei River was covered with dark clouds and continuous rain.
At night, Cao Cao was woken up by the sudden drop in temperature.
He saw that the edge of the tent had already formed, and the frost on the seats suddenly came up with a plan, and his eyes lit up.
"Haha, the heavens are really helping me!”He shouted in surprise.
Cao Cao immediately ordered his soldiers to continue building the city with sand.
Then, he splashed water on the sand wall overnight.
All the soldiers joined in, full of energy.
It happened that the north wind was blowing at night, and the weather was freezing.
In a single night, a white ice city rose from the desolate northwest.
Such a godly skill made the soldiers click their tongues in wonder, exclaiming that this was a heavenly city.
Instantly, their morale soared! He was no longer afraid of the Northwest Cavalry.
However, when Ma Chao led his troops to attack Cao Cao, an ice city blocked their path.
The cavalrymen were shocked.
However, Ma Chao could not delay any longer and still chose to attack forcefully.
In the end, the ice city was much more useful than ordinary city walls.
There was no need to deliberately look down from above and attack the enemy.
Even if the enemy wanted to attack, it would be impossible due to the smooth ice surface.
After a few sieges, even Ma Chao, who had won every battle, could not help but complain endlessly and sigh at the wall.
The Northwest Army had suffered heavy losses and their morale was shaken.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao Cao led his army out of the city and turned from defense to attack.
The army, which had been waiting for fatigue, instantly roared and defeated the Northwest Army.
……
The Great Ming World.
"Li Jinglong? Was the son of the Duke of Cao, Li Wenzhong, this kind of person?!”
"To let such a good-for-nothing be the commander-in-chief, is there really no one else in the Imperial Court that can be used?”
"He's even more stupid than Li Guangli in the previous episode!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, his eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.
Li Guozhong was the founding father of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang had watched him grow up and even adopted him.
He led his troops to conquer Daning in the Mongol Empire and beheaded the King of Lu of the Yuan Dynasty. His meritorious service was illustrious.
Why was his son Li Jinglong's operation so eye-catching?!
With this level, how could he become a commander in the Jianwen Era?
Fortunately, it was a civil war. If they went north to Mengyuan, what would happen?! It was simply a loss.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but reflect.
Had he killed too many Great Generals of the Imperial Court?
He should still leave a few people who were useful.
It indeed protected the Zhu family's territory, but it also greatly reduced the combat strength of the Ming soldiers.
Once again, he fell into a dilemma.
Not only was he conflicted over the killing of his own flesh and blood, he was even more worried about the Northern Expedition against Yuan Ting.
However, Zhu Di saw a scene in the video.
He couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and laughed.
Fortunately, he covered his mouth in time. Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's faces would immediately turn black.
He changed the topic in time and pointed at his son, Zhu Gaochi.
"Father, look at your grandson Zhu Gaochi. He may be fat, but he's also a fierce general who guards the city!!”
"He's good at using his intelligence to defend the city. This has a lot to do with his reading of history books.”
"It's true. Your actions really have my temperament. Not bad!”Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in relief.
After all, the palm and the back of his hand were flesh!
