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

At the same time, ten miles away from Jinan City, Geng Bingwen's army was rapidly approaching.

Geng Bingwen is very good at defense.

He is cautious by nature and prudent in his work. Naturally, he will not be as careless as Li Jinglong and just enter the city ahead without doing anything.

Along the way, he sent out a large number of scouts to explore from all directions and constantly patrolled the surroundings to prevent anyone from ambushing him.

While marching like this, although the speed is a little slower, the safety is real.

Geng Bingwen thought that this safe situation could last until Jinan.

But what he didn't expect was that a scout's report broke the calm

"General! Oh no! There are shouts of death everywhere in Jinan City ahead! Jinan may have been conquered by King Ning’s army!"

Hearing the news reported by the scouts,

Xu Kai and Pan Zhong under Geng Bingwen were very anxious!

Jinan is an important line of defense in the north!

If Jinan is lost, the Central Plains will be vast! By then, won't King Ning's army be able to march straight in? No scruples?

We must not let Jinan fall into the hands of King Ning!

Thinking of this, the two men immediately asked for orders:"General! Jinan is already in sight and we cannot just watch it fall into the hands of King Ning! Please give the general an order to speed up the march! Order us to assist Jinan!"

The two thought that Geng Bingwen would agree to this request when the situation in Jinan was critical.

However, what they never expected was that Geng Bingwen rejected their proposal!

"No, we cannot go to Jinan in this situation!"

Even in such a desperate situation, Geng Bingwen, as a veteran, still maintained his calmness.

Because he is very self-aware and understands that what he is good at is defense, not offense.

King Ning has won consecutive victories, and his morale is at a high level. Situation, it can also be seen that King Ning is the type who is good at attacking.

In contrast, he was not good at taking the initiative to attack. Now he takes the initiative to attack, that is to compare his own shortcomings with the strengths of others.

Especially in terms of morale In this downturn, defeat is certain!

Moreover, the 200,000 troops in his hands are already the last assets the Emperor Taisun can bring to the table. If he is buried here because of his impulse, it will be the end!

Geng Bingwen Thinking of this, his thoughts became calmer.

He began to quickly analyze the situation in front of him.

According to the scout's description, Jinan is now in a state of being breached.

It is too late for their army to go to support, and it will end up in a backlash.

The best way is to occupy other cities and use them as a stronghold to stop King Ning's army. However

, the nearby cities are too small to resist King Ning's army.

Seeing that time waits for no one, a decision must be made immediately Only then.

Finally, Geng Bingwen made a decisive decision and ordered:"Withdraw troops! All armies return to Yingtian Mansion immediately!"

At the same time, Geng Bingwen also ordered people to record what happened in Jinan immediately.

Flying pigeons sent a letter to report to Yingtian Mansion, so that the people on Yingtian side should prepare for the war.

Half a day later, in the imperial city, in the hidden underground palace.

Although this time Jiang Wei tried his best to suppress his inner emotions, the fast pace still revealed his inner uneasiness.

Jiang Wei reported:"Your Majesty, King Ning has led the army and has captured Jinan!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news, the tea he was about to drink fell to the ground with a bang!

However, at this time, he had no intention of spilling the tea leaves all over his body. The words Jiang Yu said were replayed in his mind. What did he hear just now?

Jinan?!

King Ning actually captured Jinan?!

This is wrong!

The people stationed in Jinan were Tie Xuan, whom he had personally given the title, and Sheng Yong, who was marching steadily.

Neither of these two people How could mediocrity lose Jinan so quickly? Is

King Ning’s army really so powerful?

Also, where is Geng Bingwen’s army?

Didn’t Emperor Yunwen send him to support Jinan?

What is he doing?

Too shocked, Lao Zhu He actually just expressed the question in his mind.

Jiang Gu lowered his head and reported:"Your Majesty, the city of Jinan was destroyed so fast that General Geng did not have time to catch up. After he received the news of the city of Jinan being destroyed, , directly ordered the army to return, and is now rushing to Yingtian Mansion."

Jiang Wei was afraid that Lao Zhu would be angry, so he explained carefully.

Unexpectedly, Lao Zhu had no intention of getting angry. Instead, he nodded slightly and said in approval:"Geng Bingwen's decision was not wrong. He is good at defense but not at attack. Under the circumstances, he rashly Aiding Jinan will only trap the reinforcements. Seeing Lao Zhu's gentle attitude, Jiang

Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and asked,"Your Majesty, what should we do now?""

To be honest, he felt that His Majesty was playing tricks.

Originally, he just wanted to see the Emperor Taisun's skills in handling government affairs, but he didn't expect to attract such a fierce man as Prince Ning!

But who would have thought that?

Prince Ning Zhu Quan usually doesn't look like a bad person. It was silent, but it turned out to be so powerful!

It only took a few days to attack from Daning Mansion to Yingtian Mansion!

It was beyond everyone's imagination!

Facing Jiang Wei's inquiry, Lao Zhu's expression Inexplicably, he did not panic.

He simply said:"Let Jin Yiwei continue to inquire about Zhu Quan's news."

Jiang Wei could only obey the order and go to convey Lao Zhu's oral instructions.

After Jiang Wei left, Lao Zhu couldn't help but look to the north and murmured to himself:"Old Seventeen, Old Seventeen, you really gave me What a big surprise for us!"

"However, it is not that simple to get into that position! Don't forget, there are still your brothers."
