Zhu Di was defeated.

Han Xin returned to the barracks with his soldiers and horses.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Ming Navy has been destroyed, what should you do next, do you have any good suggestions?"

Han Xin asked, everyone looked at each other, and immediately after, someone stood up.

"General, now that we have defeated the Tang army, it is better to wait for the Shengshang, and after the Shengshang breaks through Lu'an City, we will join it, and then go straight to Jinling City."

"General, in my opinion, we might as well approach Jinling City and cause some pressure on that Zhu Zhang, Zhu Zhang has pressure, he is bound to be upset in Lu'an City, in this way, it will be much easier for the Holy Lord to capture Lu'an City."

"No, I think it's better to join the Holy Lord, it's too dangerous for us to go straight to Jinling City."

"Yes, there are 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jinling City, and Zhu Di also brought back tens of thousands, and our remaining tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are not their opponents at all, whether they are fighting or attacking the city, it is better to meet with the saint."

"Non-yes, non-yes, it's still a good ...... to approach Jinling City"

Soon, in the big tent, the two groups of people quarreled like this.

Han Xin listened to their quarrel, and after a long time, he finally waved his hand to stop them, and said, "Okay, let's go straight to Jinling City, but just slow down a little." ”

In their current situation, what they need most is to let Li Yu capture Lu'an City as soon as possible, and it is obviously the best way to put pressure on Zhu Zhang.

After Han Xin said this, the people of them did not continue to quarrel, but began to prepare, waiting for tomorrow after dawn, and went straight to Jinling City.

When Han Xin approached Jinling City here, the news about the battle of the water army on the Huai River had already spread.

Li Yu on Tang Guo's side was the first to get the news.

"Shengshang, Shengshang, General Han Feige passed the book, he has defeated the naval army of the Ming Kingdom, and now he is heading for Jinling City."

The spies told the news, and everyone was excited when they heard that Han Xin had defeated Zhu Di.

"Okay, I finally defeated the Ming Army, and now that the Ming Army has been defeated, Zhu Zhang will definitely be very disappointed when he knows about it, right?"

"It's not just a loss, I think Zhu Zhang will still be angry, how many years have their Ming State Navy been built, but it's not in a hurry that we have built a Tang State Navy for a year, it's no wonder that he is not angry."

"Haha, General Han is approaching Jinling, Zhu Zhang should be in a hurry, we will be able to capture Lu'an City soon."

“…………”

Everyone said this, Tang Yu also nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, according to the current situation, it is indeed time for them to capture Lu'an City, but even if they want to attack Lu'an City, they will have to wait for Zhu Zhang to get the news of their defeat.

He wanted to see how Zhu Zhang's reaction would be next.

A few days later, the news of the defeat of the Ming naval army finally came.

After Zhu Zhang learned the news, he immediately vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Defeated, defeated like this?"

Zhu Zhang couldn't believe it, he was still very confident in his son Zhu Di, and besides, they still had 100,000 sailors, and the Tang Kingdom only had 50,000, so how could they lose?

But the current situation is that they were defeated like this, and now the Tang State Navy is rushing to Jinling City with confidence.

It's a bit of a bad situation.

Zhu Zhang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then summoned the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

After these people came, Zhu Zhang told them about the situation, and after saying this, these ministers were also stunned.

"Our Ming country's naval army has been defeated, this ...... How good is that? ”

"Then Han Xin is very powerful, if he captures Jinling City, our Ming Kingdom will be finished."

"Who said no, Holy Lord, what should we do now, why don't we withdraw our troops and rescue Jinling City?"

“…………”

These people were talking nonsense, but the more Zhu Zhang listened, the more annoyed he became, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, Liu Aiqing, what do you think about this?" Liu Bowen said: "Shengshang, Han Xin only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he is not good at water warfare and not good at land warfare, even if he is directly approaching Jinling City this time, I am afraid that he will not do anything to Jinling City, what he wants is nothing more than to put pressure on the Shengshang, let the Shengshang draw troops to help, so as to give Li Yu a chance to break the city, in the opinion of the minister, but."

I don't have to care about Han Xin, I still block Li Yu's soldiers and horses here, and I will continue to consume them like this. ”

Liu Bowen was an extremely smart person, and he quickly saw Han Xin's intentions, but after he said this, some other people immediately refuted it.

"Lord Liu, that Jinling City is the capital of our Ming Kingdom, if it is broken by Han Xin, it will be a big event, we can't take risks."

"That's it, Han Xin was cunning the next day, what if he really broke through Jinling City?"

"At that time, my Ming Kingdom was about to die, so now we can only send troops back to help."

"Yes, we must draw troops, leave a little here, as long as you don't go out of the city to fight, you should be able to resist Li Yu's soldiers and horses."

“…………”

Everyone disagrees with Liu Bowen's opinion, but Zhu Zhang's brows are deep, he naturally trusts Liu Bowen, Han Xin is approaching Jinling City, what he may want is to let him draw troops.

He knew Han Xin's intentions, but even if he knew now, he felt that he should rush back to Jinling, and only if he was in Jinling, he would be at ease.

But people get out and draw troops back to Jinling, what about the situation in Lu'an City?

If he left 30,000 soldiers and horses, would he be able to stop Li Yu's tiger and wolf army?

He felt that it was a little difficult, and now his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were okay, but if some were withdrawn, it would be difficult.

Zhu Zhang was a little distressed, the whole thing did not come out of a good result, Liu Bowen couldn't help but sigh when he saw Zhu Zhang's appearance.

He knew that he was afraid that Lu'an City would not be able to keep Zhu Zhang.

And things are indeed like this, but it is not that Zhu Zhang himself figured it out and must go back, but that on this night, Zhu Zhang suddenly fell ill.

The illness is not a big illness, but it is definitely not small, if he continues to stay in Lu'an City, it may be dangerous, so he can only rush back to Jinling City to find an imperial doctor to see a doctor.

Of course, the most important thing is that he can't let people know that he is sick, but if he fights, he will inevitably appear on the castle tower, so he can't hide it if he wants to.

After getting sick, Zhu Zhang called Liu Bowen and told Liu Bowen about the situation.

"Liu Aiqing, it seems that God wants me to return to Beijing, what do you think?"

Zhu Zhang looked at Liu Bowen and asked, Liu Bowen didn't know what to say, Zhu Zhang said that Providence would let him return to Beijing, but it was better to say that Providence wanted Tang to destroy their Ming Kingdom and dominate the world. "In the situation of the saint, I can only go back to Beijing."
