Chapter 641 The Battle of Suzhou (Part 1)
"The imperial army also deeply agrees with this, especially the severely damaged Zhen Ding army. They used to have plenty of food and had no worries, but now they're just waiting for supplies from Xuzhou."
"Therefore, even the food must be carefully measured. For the Prince of Yan himself, the first thing to do is, of course, to intercept the convoy transporting their grain."
"So, did Xuzhou send supplies? Yes, it did, but Judy intercepted them. He sent Tan Qing and others with a bunch of henchmen to harass the Central Army's grain transport teams and cut off their logistics."
"The grain transport ships and carts near Xuzhou, the Huai River, the Fei River, the Grand Canal, and other rivers were all burned by the Yan army. They mainly targeted one thing: if you don't have it, you can forget about it!"
"Actually, this task was originally assigned to Liu Jiang, but for some reason, he got scared and refused to go, which made Judy so angry that she almost wanted to chop him up."
Liu Jiang, whose story was leaked beforehand: Who are you afraid of?!
"As for the imperial army, which is the enemy of the Prince of Yan, He Fu, Sheng Yong, and others are not feeling so good. The situation has developed to this point, and it's not their turn to end it."
"At the same time, it is also clear that there are differences in the military strategies of the two sides. This time, the Prince of Yan is not hiding in Yingtian with his nephew, nor is he attacking cities and seizing territories. His purpose has always been to find a way to drive the central army into his trap."
"The key point is that they themselves followed the trap and walked into it voluntarily."
In another timeline during the Hongwu era, Prince Zhu Gang of Jin blurted out: "Fourth Prince, you're usually so good-tempered, yet you didn't even behead him!"
King Zhu Shuang of Qin added, "Just leave a few for the fourth prince. Look at his side, how many generals he's lost along the way, tsk tsk, it's quite a tragedy!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen was furious. He was in a terrible state, but I was in an even worse state. Didn't we suffer any losses?
I'm puzzled. The imperial court has so many soldiers and generals, so why can't they win?
During the Yongle reign, Zhu Gaochi and others were not very interested in the past events of the Jingnan Rebellion. Who knew more about it than those who were involved in it?
Compared to this, the King of Han was naturally more concerned about his fate after the Crown Prince and his nephew ascended the throne.
......
Realizing this, He Fu decided not to stay in Suzhou any longer and prepared to move. Then, he had a "fateful" encounter with Tan Qing and the Yan army who were harassing the supplies.
"The vanguard of the Central Army cavalry was roughly located at Dadian Town in Suzhou. The two sides stared at each other, knowing they were mortal enemies. Since Tan Qing didn't bring many men, he was surrounded by the imperial army."
"At this critical moment, his leader, the initiator of this rebellion—the Prince of Yan himself—came with his followers to rescue him!"
"Among them, the aforementioned Mongol general Huo Erhui and others fought bravely against the enemy."
"These men probably had some past relationship with the Prince of Yan, so after they were captured, they simply switched sides to the Prince of Yan's Jingnan Group. The Prince of Yan didn't even listen to the advice of others, but trusted them and made Huo Erhui his bodyguard."
"As a result, these people were very moved by the Prince of Yan's high regard for them. In this operation, they slaughtered their former teammates, now members of the Central Army, indiscriminately. What, former comrades? Sorry, they were all killed without hesitation."
"Just then, He Fu arrived with his men, and the two sides were locked in a standoff. In terms of seniority, he was a bit older than Sheng Yong, Ping An, and others, so he became Judy's main opponent in the ensuing struggle."
Central Army: 〒_〒… Before, people called each other brothers, now they just pull out knives and start hacking at each other!
