Live History Broadcast: Opening Ceremony Spoilers - Our Ancestor Was Enraged

Chapter 638 Judy: Light the house to lure the enemy!

"Upon returning to Jingnan, Judy hid some people in Jiuhua Mountain and sent a Mongolian commander named Kuantai with a group of his men to scout out the enemy's situation and keep an eye on the movements of the imperial army."

"As luck would have it, the grain transport team from Xuzhou to Dezhou and Jining was not very strong. They were beaten up by Kuan Tai and his men, and two commanders were captured. Judy received the latest information about the court's movements from them."

Lin Ke suddenly brought up something completely unrelated: "What made me most angry at the time was that the house I had worked so hard for was burned down. I didn't want to go out, but I wanted to go out and beat someone up!"

Other ordinary people: Putting myself in their shoes, it's infuriating!

In another timeline during the Hongwu era, Prince Qin, Zhu Shuang, blurted out: "Fourth Prince, you're not being fair! Do you remember you said you wouldn't harm the common people?! If you're angry, take it out on your eldest nephew!"

Zhu Yunwen (smiling on the outside, cursing inwardly): Thank you so much, Second Uncle!

Zhu Di was speechless. He was clearly trying to lure the enemy in!

Instead of wasting time criticizing him, you should think about the mess he's made in his own fiefdom!

"This strategy was employed by the Prince of Yan against the garrison in Xuzhou. He sent a group of cavalry to harass and provoke them, for example, by burning down the houses of the Xuzhou soldiers."

"This is intolerable! The Xuzhou garrison was naturally furious. What's the point of holding out? They opened the city gates and sent five thousand elite troops to pursue them."

Sima Yi (looking weathered and smoking.jpg): Young man, you still can't learn my trick!

"However, they didn't know that not only had the Yan army arrived, but Judy was also lying in wait outside with his main force. If they had just followed Sima Yi's strategy of holding their ground, they wouldn't have been so easily provoked!"

"So, after these elite cavalrymen left the city, they were immediately ambushed by the Yan army. Unfortunately, they were all elite troops, and they were surrounded by the King of Yan. More than 3,000 were killed and more than 1,000 were captured."

"Probably only a hundred or so 'lucky ones' managed to cross the river and escape back to the city. I believe that after this battle, the Xuzhou garrison should have a clearer understanding of Zhu Laosi!"

Xuzhou garrison: ??? The Zhu family's silver is all rotten!

Judy: Young man, this is called all's fair in war!

"As I just mentioned, the Xuzhou garrison deployed 5,000 elite troops, not ordinary soldiers. This is a significant blow. In short, the enemy's firepower is too overwhelming, so they are prepared to learn from Sima Yi's strategy of holding out to the death and stay inside the city."

"However, Judy doesn't really care whether they come out or not. Anyway, his goal isn't necessarily to kill them off. If he can't handle them, he'll just find someone else."

"So after setting fire to houses near Xuzhou and looting their stockpiled supplies, Judy led her men south to Suzhou."

Zhu Yunwen was utterly shocked. His fourth uncle was taking advantage of him, treating Xuzhou City like his own home! (swearing) And believe it or not, it really was his home!

"The Yan army's route passed through Suzhou, advanced to Mengcheng, and crossed the Wo River. This arduous journey was not only experienced by the Yan army, but also by the imperial army, including Ping An, who followed behind."

"To this day, the Zhen Ding and Dezhou armies seem to have reached the moment of decisive battle with the Yan army. Generals like Ping An are eager to annihilate the Yan army in one fell swoop, and the King of Yan and his cronies also want to wipe them out in one go."

"Because by then, it had been four years since Jianwen was born. In just a few months, Jianwen would have to act out a script where 'the day his fourth uncle came chasing after him, his nephew disappeared.'"

All the people of Wanchao: Meow? Meow? Meow? What the hell has sneaked in?!

Judy & Zhu Yunwen (mutually disgusted): (╬??皿??) We suggest you speak properly!
