Ming Dynasty: I, Zhu Yunwen, started by resurrecting my grandmother.

Zhu Yunwen looked ahead: "The current situation is extremely critical. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhu Bai's navy may land and attack Zhengding City tomorrow."

"Ah?" Li Fangying trembled with fright upon hearing this, completely at a loss. "So fast? What should we do? I don't want to stay here anymore, I want to go back to the capital."

Zhu Yunwen was speechless upon hearing this.

Hongyu said to Li Fangying, "What are you talking about? Don't forget that you are now a general. Are you going to desert your post?"

That's a capital offense!

Losing a city is also a capital offense.

"This—." Li Fangying's face turned pale, and sweat beaded on her forehead.

Li Zengzhi also looked flustered: "I've heard that the Jingzhou navy has very powerful firearms, and they have a large army."

We only have about 1 people in our city. If we were to fight the Jingzhou navy to the death, we probably wouldn't be a match for them.

Zhu Yunwen asked, "General Li, what do you mean by that?"

Are you planning to hand over Zhen Ding City?

"I don't want to do this either, but even if we fight to the death, it's probably useless."

Zhu Yunwen thought to himself, "How can the court possibly defend the city if it appoints such a person?"

The enemy hasn't even arrived yet, and they're already terrified.

Zhu Yunwen picked up his wine cup and drank it down: "Generals, Li Jinglong is currently besieging Beiping, and Guo Ying is locked in a stalemate with Zhu Di at Zhengcunba. The outcome is still undecided."

You are like the weights on either side of a scale.

If you can hold onto Zhen Ding, then your brother and Guo Ying will still have their own base of operations, allowing them to advance or retreat as needed.

If you lose Zhen Ding, then they will be nothing but wandering ghosts.

"Alright then, you two pull yourselves together. Xu Huizu, Wang Zuo, and I will lead troops to support you."

Li Zengzhi's expression softened slightly, and he asked, "King Wu, how many troops have you brought?"

"If we add us all together, there are probably around 1 people."

Li Zengzhi thought that 1 men wasn't much, but it was better than nothing.

Zhu Yunwen then asked, "Have you written to your elder brother, asking him to lead troops to support you?"

"I wrote it."

"What did your older brother say?"

"He said he didn't have enough troops to besiege Beiping, so where would he get troops for us?"

"What? Doesn't your elder brother have nearly 50 troops under his command? You still think it's not enough?"

Zhu Yunwen was speechless when he heard that Li Jinglong had brought nearly 100,000 troops to besiege Beiping, yet still felt it was not enough.

Li Zengzhi downed a cup of wine and sighed, "That's what I said too, but my brother said that Beiping's defenses are too strong, and Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Gaochi are cunning and very difficult to deal with."

Zhu Yunwen looked worried: "If your elder brother can't conquer and pacify the situation for a long time, the transportation of grain and supplies will also be a problem."

How can the army fight without food?

Secondly, if too much time passes, Zhu Di will learn of the situation and will definitely lead his troops to reinforce Beiping. At that point, your brother will be in danger from both inside and outside the city.

Li Zengzhi spread his hands: "I know about this, but what can we do?"

We're already struggling to take care of ourselves, how can we possibly spare any troops to support him?

Hongyu didn't mince words: "Your brother's 50 troops couldn't even defeat 1 soldiers in Beiping. He's really a useless coward."

When Li Zengzhi and Li Fangying heard what Hongyu said, they didn't know what to say.

Li Zengzhi's eyes never left Hongyu after he entered the room.

He found the woman to be incredibly alluring, exuding a seductive charm, and assumed she must be a first-rate woman in bed.

Finally, Zhu Yunwen said, "Although the Jingzhou navy is powerful, it is not invincible."

"As long as our forces are properly deployed and we are united, I think it's not impossible to defeat them."

Sure enough, the next day, Zhu Bai commanded the Jingzhou navy to launch a fierce attack on Wang Zuo's army.

With only 2000 men left, how could Wang Zuo possibly hold them off?

They had no choice but to retreat in defeat.

Zhu Bai led the Jingzhou navy to abandon their ships and land, launching a fierce attack on Zhen Ding City.

Li Zengzhi and Li Fangying were also terrified.

While ordering their soldiers to fight back fiercely, they also ordered people to write a letter of surrender.

Li Zengzhi planned to surrender the city if he could not withstand the attack.

Otherwise, there won't be enough time to write a surrender document.

Just as it seemed that Zhen Ding City was about to fall to Zhu Bai's army, Zhu Yunwen and Xu Huizu led 7000 fresh troops to attack from the rear.

Zhu Bai had also heard of the prowess of Zhu Yunwen and Xu Huizu.

Zhu Yunwen saw Zhu Bai and bowed from his horse: "Twelfth Uncle, are you alright?"

Zhu Bo reined in his warhorse: "Who do we have here? It's Yunhuo."

"Twelfth Uncle, you are a prince of the court. Zhu Di is now rebelling and is the villain of the court. You should help the court fight against Zhu Di. How can you be an accomplice to evil and help the wicked?" Zhu Yunwen said solemnly as he rode on his horse.

Zhu Bai was dressed in a Taoist robe, his attire was unique, and he called himself Zixuzi.

"Yun Tong, I am not going against the court, but to help the court to cleanse the court of corrupt officials. There are two villains by the emperor's side, namely Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng. These two are afraid that the world is not in chaos."

If they hadn't sown discord in front of the emperor, I don't think Zhu Yunwen would have been so eager to reduce the power of the princes.

In fact, the real troubles of the imperial court did not lie with the various vassal kings, but with the Northern Yuan in the north and the pirates along the southeast coast.

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng failed to distinguish between primary and secondary issues, believing that the most important contradiction now was the vassal king, who had become too powerful to be controlled.

They constantly preached to Zhu Yunwen that the vassal kings were dangerous and had to be weakened. First, they weakened your vassal king's ...

Logically speaking, you are also a victim, and you should be on our side. Why have you sided with the imperial court?

Zhu Yunwen straightened his clothes and said loudly, "Twelfth Uncle, you are wrong. I am not fighting for the court, but for the people of the world."

I hope to alleviate some of the suffering of the people; they have already endured enough disasters.

As for my personal honor or disgrace, those are secondary.

I've died several times already, so I'm indifferent to all of this.

Zhu Bai nodded slightly, then sighed, "Although I have been seeking enlightenment for many years, I have not yet reached your level."

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen raised his voice: "Twelfth Uncle, you are attacked from both sides and are in great danger. Why don't you dismount and surrender? What are you waiting for?"

Zhu Bai looked up at the sky and laughed, "You are my junior, how could I possibly surrender to you?"

Moreover, our army far outnumbers yours, so the outcome is difficult to predict.

Zhu Yunwen was furious upon hearing this.

He took the bow and arrow from his shoulder and then shot it with a "whoosh".

Zhu Bai did not expect Zhu Yunwen's arrow to come so quickly.

He tried to dodge, but it was too late. With a loud "bang," the arrow struck Zhu Bai's helmet plume.

Zhu Bai broke out in a cold sweat.

He quickly ordered, "Retreat! Quickly!"

Military orders are absolute. With Zhu Bai's command, the Jingzhou navy retreated.

Xu Huizu led his troops in a subsequent ambush, killing one or two thousand people and capturing 5000 prisoners.

Li Zengzhi had already written the surrender document and was preparing to surrender when Zhu Yunwen actually defeated Zhu Bai.

The two brothers were very happy.

Li Zengzhi and Li Fangying were beaming with pride.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the two of them and thought to himself, "If I hadn't arrived in time, you two brothers would probably have already fallen into Hongyu's trap. Hongyu's method of poisoning wine is very clever. How could you two have discovered it?"

Perhaps, by now, they have already become someone's prisoners.

Li Zengzhi grasped Zhu Yunwen's hand: "King Wu, we owe you a great debt this time."

If you hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Zhu Yunwen said modestly, "It's nothing!"

Our lucky victory this time was the result of the bravery of all our soldiers. Although Zhu Bai has retreated, it doesn't mean Zhu Di won't come back. You brothers must hold the city."

At this moment, Wang Zuo arrived.

His fierce eyes glared at the Li Zengzhi and Li Fangying brothers as he asked, "When we were fighting a bloody battle with the Jingzhou navy, and our entire army was on the verge of annihilation, we sent you a letter requesting reinforcements. Did you receive it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fangying thought to herself, "This is trouble. They're here to pick a fight with me." She quickly moved aside.

Li Zengzhi forced himself to say, "General Wang, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I can't spare any extra troops."

"No troops?" To everyone's surprise, Wang Zuo drew his sword with a whoosh and roared, "If you were willing to spare half of your troops to support us, my soldiers wouldn't have died so tragically. Out of 1 brothers, more than 8000 died! My poor brothers!"

At this point, Wang Zuo burst into tears, his eyes filled with blood, and he wished he could chop Li Zengzhi and Li Fangying into pieces with a single stroke.

Zhu Yunwen quickly advised, "Let's not talk about the past anymore. If you're sad, we're all sad too. From now on, you must work together. If one of you is in trouble, the other must support you without hesitation."

Do not adopt a wait-and-see attitude.

Xu Huizu also came over to persuade him, and Wang Zuo's mood gradually calmed down.

The brothers Li Zengzhi and Li Fangying were sweating profusely when a soldier came to report, "Miss Hongyu is missing."

"What?" Li Zengzhi asked, "Where did she go?"

"I don't know, but she took all the gold and silver treasures from the general's mansion."

"Wow? This woman is ruthless!"

It turned out that before leaving, Li Jinglong handed the key to the treasury to Hongyu. There was a lot of money there, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, all of which were treasures that Li Jinglong had plundered.

Unexpectedly, Hongyu took advantage of the chaos to hitch up the carriage and took all the gold and silver with her.

Li Zengzhi thought for a moment and said, "Could he be a spy?"

Zhu Yunwen hadn't expected Hongyu to slip away so quickly, and said, "How can you easily trust a woman from a brothel?"

They come and go, busy and preoccupied, all for money.

Could it be that she has real feelings for your brother?

"How many high-ranking officials and dignitaries must she have met during her time at Heming Tower?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zengzhi stomped his foot and cursed, "If I ever see that woman again, I'll kill her!"

Zhu Yunwen thought to himself that even if you meet her again, you'll probably fall for her tricks again.

Zhu Yunwen looked at everyone and said, "You will stay here to guard Zhen Ding, while I will lead the army to support General Guo Ying."

Xu Huizu stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

"No need! The Emperor has decreed that Li Jinglong is the commander-in-chief of Zhending, and you are the deputy commander-in-chief of Zhending. You have the responsibility to guard Zhending."

"You stay here and guard Zhen Ding."

Xu Huizu gave a bitter smile to himself, thinking to himself that although he was the deputy general of Zhending, Li Zengzhi and Li Fangying were Li Jinglong's younger brothers. Would the two brothers listen to him?

That's practically impossible.

Seeing that Zhu Yunwen had already made his decision, he did not press the matter further.

It was the third watch of the night.

Zhu Yunwen's military camp.

Zhu Yunwen's eyes were bloodshot from staying up all night.

At this moment, he stared intently at the sand table with his eyes wide open.

He was considering where to send troops to support Guo Ying.

Suddenly, he felt a pair of gentle hands wrap around his waist from behind.

The woman pressed her full breasts against Zhu Yunwen's back.

Zhu Yunwen's heart also fluttered.

Zhu Yunwen turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Ling'er.

Zhao Ling'er murmured, "You've lifted the siege of Zhen Ding and driven away Zhu Bai this time. I think that's enough. Why do you need to go and support Guo Ying?"

The Emperor hasn't issued an order for you to go and reinforce, so why don't we withdraw our troops and return to Suzhou? Isn't that a good idea?

The pirates are still besieging Yangzhou, and they could attack our base at any moment.

Zhu Yunwen gently pushed her away and slowly said, "Ling'er, although the Emperor has not issued an edict for us, Li Jinglong has transferred all his main forces to besiege Beiping."

Guo Ying had only 1 troops, while Zhu Di had 20. How could he possibly be a match for Zhu Di?

Guo Ying's health is poor, and he carries a medicine pot with him when he's with the army. Are we just going to stand by and watch the old general die in this state?

After listening to Zhu Yunwen's words, Zhao Ling'er nodded: "I also think what you said makes some sense, but things often don't go as planned. Many people now think you're helping the court fight the war."

Most of those feudal lords probably have grievances against you.

"I am not fighting for the court; I am striving to bring benefits to the people and hoping that the people of the world can suffer less from disasters."

Therefore, whoever initiates the war and brings disaster to the lives of the people, that's who we will attack.

Zhao Ling'er looked at Zhu Yunwen with her beautiful eyes: "People often say that one should speak according to one's station in life."

Now, we've finally managed to gather ten thousand cavalrymen, giving you the foundation to establish yourself.

I think you'd be better off starting your own business and dominating the market.

"Starting their own business?"

Zhao Ling'er came to the map and gestured on it with her hand: "Now that we have occupied Suzhou, we can take over Xuzhou, Hangzhou, and Jinan. We will gradually expand our territory."

It's similar to the State of Qi during the Warring States period, located on the coast of the sea.

While Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di are locked in a fierce battle, let's seize the opportunity to expand our territory and capture cities.

When they are both exhausted, I think you will have around 100,000 troops by then. We can then divide the world into three with Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di. What's wrong with that?

Why should you risk your life for Zhu Yunwen?

This is a golden opportunity!

I think you have your maternal grandfather, Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng brothers. With their help, you will surely achieve great things in the future.

I'll have my father spend all his wealth to secretly recruit and train soldiers. In the future, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for him to gather another 10,000 or 20,000 men for you.

Once you've amassed enough power and occupied the vast lands to the east, when the world changes, you can first seize the capital, become emperor, and then destroy Zhu Di. The Ming dynasty will then be yours.

Zhu Yunwen stared wide-eyed at Zhao Ling'er.

He truly couldn't believe that Zhao Ling'er possessed such strategic acumen.

This reminded Zhu Yunwen of two things.

At that time, Liu Bang appointed Han Xin as the Grand General and sent him to conquer the world.

Han Xin fought a decisive battle with his back to the river, destroying Zhao and Yan, and later conquering Qi, amassing an army of 30.

At that time, his advisor Kuai Che had advised him to set up his own faction and stop following Liu Bang.

Kuai Che pointed out that if you continue to follow Liu Bang, there will be no good outcome in the future.

Han Xin was a sentimental man and a military genius. He said, "When I was in danger, the King of Han gave me clothes to wear, food to eat, and promoted me from a lowly soldier to a great general. How could I do anything to betray him?"

Han Xin felt that he had not made any mistakes and that Liu Bang would not punish him. Therefore, he rejected Kuai Che's suggestion, did not start his own faction, and instead followed Liu Bang wholeheartedly.

Kuai Che earnestly advised him, "Your relationship with Liu Bang is not as close as the relationship between Wen Zhong and King Goujian of Yue."

If King Goujian of Yue hadn't had Wen Zhong to advise him, the state of Yue would never have been revived, and King Goujian would never have been able to kill King Fuchai of Wu and avenge himself.

However, even so, after Goujian became the hegemon, he assassinated Wen Zhong.

Bai Qi made great contributions to the Qin state. His nickname was "Butcher of Men". In the Battle of Changping alone, he massacred 45 Zhao soldiers. Throughout the Warring States period, he killed about 100 million enemies, which made the Qin state gradually become stronger.

However, later, for a very minor mistake, King Zhaoxiang of Qin, in a fit of rage, stabbed him with a sword, forcing him to commit suicide. These are all lessons from the past.

Kuai Che then said to Han Xin, "Your merits are too great. Liu Bang can no longer reward you. He can only kill you."

Han Xin ultimately ignored Kuai Che's advice and continued to serve Liu Bang, but in the end, he died in Weiyang Palace.

The results showed that Quine's suggestion was entirely correct.

During the Three Kingdoms period, before Zhuge Liang emerged from seclusion, he lived a secluded life farming in Nanyang. Liu Bei visited him three times at his thatched cottage, and the two had a conversation there.

Zhuge Liang outlined Liu Bei's development direction and specific implementation steps. The general idea was to take Jingzhou as a base, then move west into Shu, occupy Yizhou and the Hanzhong area, and wait for changes in the world before launching attacks from Jingzhou and Wanluo to contend for the world.

Zhao Ling'er's words are remarkably similar to Zhuge Liang's Longzhong Plan.

To everyone's surprise, Zhu Yunwen shook his head: "Ling'er, you're wrong."

As I just said, "I am not fighting for myself, I am fighting for the people of the world."

Now Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen are at war, and the people are suffering terribly.

If we were to establish our own independent faction, and then the three sides were to fight each other, wouldn't the people of the world suffer even more?

Zhao Ling'er disagreed: "Just because you don't set up your own business, does that mean no one else does?"

For example, Zhu Bai occupied Jingzhou and commanded tens of thousands of naval troops.

If he wanted to start his own business, it wouldn't be impossible.

There were also the King of Qin, the King of Jin, and others; their power was formidable.

Ultimately, Zhu Yunwen still disagreed with establishing his own household.

He said to Zhao Ling'er, "Going to Zhengcunba is quite risky, so you shouldn't go with me."

You and Chang Sen should go back to Suzhou together.

Chang Sheng and I rushed to Zhengcunba.

"No, I want to go with you," Zhao Ling'er said, pouting.

"No, I'm worried about you going. If a fight breaks out, I won't be able to take care of you at all," Zhu Yunwen said with a worried expression.

"I don't need you to take care of me. Maybe if I go, I can even help you."

I also know a little medicine; I can help treat your wounded.

Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to bring her along.

Zhengcunba.

Zhu Di's military camp.

Zhu Di led an army of 20 and confronted Guo Ying for more than 10 days.

Later, Zhu Di sensed that something seemed off about the other party.

Although the enemy's banners were everywhere, it was impossible to see how many troops they actually had.

I only heard that Li Jinglong brought nearly 50 troops.

Zhu Di summoned his generals for a meeting.

Zhu Gaoxu was getting impatient: "Father, please give me 3 cavalry. I will charge in and capture Li Jinglong and Guo Ying alive."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Neng quickly stopped him: "Second Young Master, you mustn't! Li Jinglong has already received the support of the imperial court; Zhu Yunwen has given him Mei Yin's entire army of 40."

Adding to his previous 10 troops, even if he didn't have 50, it wouldn't be much different.

How could your 3 troops possibly be a match for an army of nearly 50?

Zhu Gaoxu stared wide-eyed and asked, "Where are the 500,000 troops? Has anyone seen them?"

Don't let them scare you; they might just be bluffing.

"No, that time when we fought with Li Jinglong, I did see Li Jinglong leading nearly 50 troops to Zhengcunba."

Moreover, we didn't gain any advantage.

Their forces do indeed outnumber ours considerably; this is not a bluff.

The two were arguing and couldn't reach an agreement.

Zhu Di was somewhat annoyed by this, and he waved his hand, saying, "Alright, stop arguing."

At this moment, a scout came in from outside and reported: "Your Majesty, we have obtained the latest information. The enemy only has 1 troops, and the commander-in-chief is the veteran general Guo Ying."

"Where is Li Jinglong?"

"He has already led a large army to besiege Beiping."

"What?" Zhu Di's head was buzzing when he heard this. He thought that the army left to guard Beiping was only about 1 men, while Li Jinglong's army was close to 50. How could Beiping be defended?

Zhu Di turned pale and slumped into a chair, unable to recover for a long time.

Zhu Gaoxu said, "What do you think? Didn't you believe me when I told you they were bluffing?"

They insist on saying how many men they have, but in reality, it's just an empty camp. Do they think ten thousand men can withstand my attack?

Zhu Neng quickly advised, "Your Majesty, your health is of utmost importance."

Although Li Jinglong had more soldiers

However, our Beiping city defenses are strong, the moat is wide and deep, the Crown Prince is courageous, and Yao Guangxiao is resourceful. Your Majesty need not worry too much.

I figured things would be fine once I sorted it out.

At that moment, another soldier rushed in from outside in a panic.

It turns out that Zhu Gaochi sent them.

The soldier was covered in wounds, his robes soaked in blood.

He took a letter out of his pocket and handed it to Zhu Di.

The man knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly: "Your Majesty, please send troops to rescue Beiping! Beiping can't hold on much longer!"

Zhu Di opened the letter with trembling hands. The letter was very simple, and the gist of it was that Li Jinglong was leading an army of nearly 500,000 to besiege Beiping, and the situation was very critical. He asked his father to quickly return with his troops to rescue the city.

Zhu Di read the letter three times and asked, "Is Beiping still in our hands?"

"It's still standing, and we haven't lost the city yet, but it could be captured at any time."

Hearing this, Zhu Di felt somewhat relieved: "Good, Your Highness is truly commendable."

Zhu Gaoxu felt very uncomfortable when he heard Zhu Di praising Zhu Gaochi to his face again.

He volunteered again: "Father, if you give me 3 cavalry, I will charge over and capture Guo Ying alive."

Zhu Di nodded: "Good! I will have Zhang Yu accompany you and give you 30,000 cavalry. Go and attack Guo Ying and make sure you capture him."

I led the main force back to support Beiping.

"Please rest assured, Father, I will definitely catch that old scoundrel Guo Ying. He really gave us a hard time."

Therefore, Zhu Di immediately divided his troops and appointed generals, leaving behind Zhu Gaoxu, Zhang Yu, and 3 cavalry.

Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself that he finally had a chance to show his skills. Guo Ying was an old coffin, more dead than alive. What abilities could he possibly have?

Zhang Yu advised from the side, "Second Young Master, I admit you are very brave, but Guo Ying is a veteran of the court, and he is cunning. You should still be wary of him."

"Forget it, if it were up to me, I would have taken him down long ago."

You've been so hesitant and worried about this and that. Even if Guo Ying only had 10,000 men, or even 100,000, what do I have to fear from him?

Zhang Yu also admired Zhu Gaoxu's bravery. He knew that Zhu Gaozhao was a fierce tiger, and in battle, he was unstoppable.

Zhang Yu then asked, "Second Young Master, how should we advance our troops?"

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a moment and said, "At midnight tonight, we will have our men gagged and our horses galloping out suddenly to attack Guo Ying's camp."

Zhang Yu nodded: "Okay, let's do it that way!"

It was the third watch of the night.

Zhu Gaoxu assembled 3 cavalry, leaving 2000 to guard the camp, and took the remaining 28000 with him, heading straight for Guo Ying's camp.

Guo Ying had already been stripped of his official position and was now living in retirement in the capital.

However, the imperial son-in-law Mei Yin had a very bad temper, and at the slightest disagreement, he handed over the military tally to Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen seized the opportunity to confiscate his military tally.

Zhu Yunwen agreed to send reinforcements, but since there were no capable generals in the court, he sent Guo Ying with an army of 400,000 to Li Jinglong's camp.

However, once they arrived at the military camp, they were unable to return to the capital immediately.

As a general, Li Jinglong ordered him to keep an eye on Zhu Di here.

Li Jinglong himself led more than 40 troops to Beiping.

During this period, Guo Ying's condition gradually worsened, and she coughed incessantly until she coughed up blood.

One of his soldiers advised, "General, you should hurry back to the capital. Didn't His Majesty say..."

"After you return, he will arrange for the imperial physician to treat your illness?"

Guo Ying shook her head: "No, Li Jinglong gave us clear instructions before he left, telling us to stay here and keep an eye on things so that Zhu Di's forces could besiege Beiping."

If we withdraw, Zhu Di's army will surely return to defend, and then we'll be in trouble.

Therefore, we must be like a wedge, driven firmly into this spot.

"General Guo, but I'm afraid your body can't hold on."

"It's alright, he won't die anytime soon."

As Guo Ying spoke, she coughed up another mouthful of blood.

The soldiers under his command were terrified and quickly went to fetch the army's medical officer.

After examining Guo Ying, the physician said, "This is a chronic illness of yours. The main reason is that you have been fighting on the battlefield for many years without getting any rest, which has made you exhausted."

You need to get treatment as soon as possible! The military is short of medicine; the longer you delay, the worse your condition will become!

Guo Ying waved her hand: "If it's my turn to die, I can't escape it even if I want to. I can't go back now."

"Then I'll prescribe some medicine for you."

The physician prescribed some medicine for Guo Ying and left.

At this moment, a scout came in from outside and reported to Guo Ying: "We have learned that Li Jinglong led his troops to attack Beiping, but so far, he has not yet taken Beiping."

"What? Wasn't it said that there were only 10,000 troops in Beiping?" Guo Ying was extremely shocked.

"Yes, Beiping only has 1 troops."

"Li Jinglong brought 47 men, and 47 troops couldn't even take Beiping? This is utterly ridiculous!" Guo Ying cursed Li Jinglong inwardly. "You son of a bitch, you always brag in front of us about how great you are, how powerful you are, but I never expected you to be such a coward."

Guo Ying coughed again as she got excited while talking.

"What should we do then? If Zhu Di finds out we only have 1 troops and sends them to attack us, how can we possibly resist?"

Even so, we have no choice but to fight to the death!

At this moment, a soldier covered in wounds ran in from outside the camp gate and knelt on the ground in a panic: "General Guo, something terrible has happened."

Guo Ying frowned upon seeing this and asked, "What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"

"Zhu Gaoxu has led 30,000 cavalry to raid the camp."

"What? Did you see that clearly?" Guo Ying's shoulders trembled.

"Yes, I saw it very clearly. It was indeed Zhu Gaochi and General Zhang Yu leading their troops."

Guo Ying was furious and asked, "Then why did you only report this now?"

"Oh dear, old general, they are very cunning. They are gagged and their horses are covered in mud, so they make no sound at all. We only just noticed them."

Moreover, there's no moon tonight, so the lighting isn't very good.

Guo Ying slapped her thigh: "You bunch of good-for-nothings! I told you long ago to keep the sentry posts further away, but you never listened."

Guo Ying thought to herself, "My end has come." Zhu Gaochi compared himself to Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King.

In my opinion, he was even more powerful than Xiang Yu. Who in the army could be his match?

General Zhang Yu was no slouch either.

However, things have come to this point, and there's no way to back down now.

Guo Ying gave the order: "Use arrows to hold the line first, then I, the old man, will personally lead the attack!"

"General, are you sure you're in good health?"

"It's alright. Lian Po was still able to fight at seventy, let alone me."
