Ming Dynasty: The army is forcing the palace, you say that Lao Zhu faked his death

At the same time, in Peiping, Prince Yan's Mansion.

The spies sent by Zhu Di also sent back the news.

The content of the message was very short, telling the story of Zhu Quan's defeat of Muchun and the capture of Cangzhou.

When Zhu Di saw the news, his hands trembled and he almost tore the paper!

Cangzhou is not a small town!

Because the terrain is flat, the population is very large.

Correspondingly, great efforts have been made in city management and defense.

How could it be breached so easily?

Yes, he knew that King Ning had an army of 300,000 cavalry.

According to the information he received, Muchun also led an army of 300,000 people.

Although the army led by Muchun had mostly infantry and only a few cavalry, what Muchun needed to do was defend.

As long as the city wall of Cangzhou is occupied, even if it is defended to the death, Cangzhou cannot be broken simply!

But it’s only been a few days now?

Cangzhou was captured by Zhu Quan just like that!

So what happened?

Could it be that Prince Ning still holds some trump card that he doesn't know about?

Zhu Di felt irritated when he thought that he knew nothing about Prince Ning's situation.

Unknown means changes, and it also means that the plan may not go as smoothly as you think.

Especially Zhu Di thought he knew those brothers very well before this.

But now everything is out of his control.

Prince Ning, the seventeenth younger brother, also became a stranger in his heart.

This gave Zhu Di a creepy feeling.

If the current Seventeenth Brother who is powerful and decisive is his true face, then could the Seventeenth Brother in his previous impression be the disguise of the other party?

But why does the other party pretend to be himself?

Could it be that you already have some grand plan in mind?

The more Zhu Di thought about it, the more frightened he became, and suddenly he felt that what he thought was"seeing through the brothers" was a joke.

At this moment, Yao Guangxiao came in leisurely.

He had just returned to Peiping after convincing the kings.

As soon as he came back, he wanted to tell Zhu Di the good news about completing the mission and take credit for himself.

What he didn't expect was that when Zhu Di saw Yao Guangxiao's leisurely expression, there was no welcome or joy.

Instead, his face was gloomy and he said in a worried mood:"At this time, why are you still so leisurely? Come and see! Something big has happened!"

Yao Guangxiao was startled by the cold and solemn face.

He was slightly startled and asked doubtfully:"Your Majesty, what happened? Could it be that Prince Ning was in trouble in the war?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the worst is possible. If you go to visit Prince Ning, you will definitely maximize Prince Ning's role!"

Zhu Di became even more angry when he saw that Yao Guangxiao was still like a frog in the well and didn't know about the changes in the world.

"What is the disadvantage of war? What are you talking about? Not only did Prince Ning not fall behind, he also defeated Muchun! Cangzhou was captured!"

When Yao Guangxiao heard the news, he was stunned:"Your Majesty, what did you say?"

"King Ning captured Cangzhou? It's only been a few days, how could it happen so fast? Could it be that Mu Chun didn't have many troops?"

When this topic was brought up, Zhu Di became even more frustrated.

If this was really the problem, then he wouldn't have to worry so much, but it wasn't!

Zhu Di said in an unhappy tone:"Why don't you have many troops? My good nephew, my dear nephew, also gave Muchun an army of 300,000 troops to attack King Ning! It's just that there are mostly infantry inside, but the 300,000 is real!"

Hearing Zhu Di's words, Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but take a breath!

Three hundred thousand troops!

That's really not a small number of people!

Generally speaking, it is easier to defend a city than to attack it.

The defenders are protected by city walls and can overlook the opponent from a high position. By releasing arrows, you can also conduct an ambush in advance.

In comparison, the siege party is passive.

It can only win by using various siege equipment and sacrificing a large number of siege soldiers during the process.

Therefore, even if Most of them are infantry, and the 300,000 troops that Mu Chun has in his hands are by no means small.

They are even far beyond the normal practice!

How could such a number of people lose to King Ning?

Yao Guangxiao was puzzled:" Since the number of people is equal, how could Zhu Quan be allowed to capture Cangzhou so quickly?"

This is also the answer Zhu Di wants to know.

He shook his head and said:"We don't know yet. There is no more information from the spies."

After this sudden news, Yao Guangxiao's face became serious.

"It seems that we have all underestimated Prince Ning, but it doesn't matter, we have just arrived in Cangzhou. Next, the emperor's grandson will definitely not sit idly by."

"They will definitely send more troops to stop King Ning's actions. When the time comes, no matter how powerful King Ning is, he will definitely reveal flaws in his long-distance attack."

Zhu Di nodded and agreed with Yao Guangxiao's words.

He also did not believe that Zhu Quan's victory would last forever.

The army traveled thousands of miles, and just food and grass was a serious problem.

By then, the large army would no longer be King Ning. Instead of being relied upon, it was a huge burden.

Zhu Di loudly ordered:"Immediately send someone to pay close attention to Prince Ning's movements, and report everything to me no matter how big or small it is!"
