Something big happened in Yingtian.

After confirming that Geng Bingwen was defeated and trapped in Zhending City, Emperor Jianwen accepted Huang Zicheng's suggestion to remove Geng Bingwen's power to command the army and appointed Li Jinglong, the son of Li Wenzhong, as a general.

The word "六文" cannot be used randomly, and has corresponding etiquette specifications.

First of all, it is necessary to build a high platform, set up many ceremonial guards, set up a large occasion, and order civil and military people to watch.

Emperor Jianwen frequently issued orders and mobilized many troops to gather in Yingtian. Thanks to the convenience of the Daming Vatican system, 300,000 troops were soon concentrated in the capital area, and more than 200,000 troops were joined on the northward march route.

The oath-taking ceremony was held on a riverside. Emperor Jianwen was present and did not mention it. All civil and military officials also came to the scene.

The court prepared a large retro chariot for Li Jinglong, and Emperor Jianwen treated him with the ceremony of "holding the hub and pushing the wheel".

What does it mean? Zhu Yunwen, as the emperor, supported the cart and pushed forward.

There were too few commanders in history who were treated with "carrying the hub and pushing the wheel". There was Le Yi during the Warring States Period and Han Xin at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and there was no third person besides that. This time, Zhu Yunwen made Li Jinglong the third.

It is conceivable how much trust Emperor Jianwen entrusts to Li Jinglong, and hopes that Li Jinglong can repay the king's victory again and again like Le Yi and Han Xin.

After giving the big gift, Zhu Yunwen came to an end to the farewell ceremony for Li Jinglong and the army. I don’t know if it was Zhu Yunwen’s intention or that he had thought it through carefully, but he actually gave the right to “do things cheaply”.

How many generals who have been treated by the "hub and wheel" and have obtained the right to "do things cheaply" after searching through history books? Han Xin is the only one.

Of course, there has been a public opinion on whether Liu Bang really trusts Han Xin's history.

Zhu Yunwen really trusted his cousin Li Jinglong, and he was not the kind of trust he received because they were relatives.

The reason was that Li Jinglong went out of the capital to train troops many times during Zhu Yuanzhang's reign.

To be honest, Li Jinglong trained his troops well and did not make any mistakes in presiding over the border tea and horse trading. He looked like a very capable person.

Especially, whenever Li Jinglong debates with veterans, he always makes the veterans unable to refute it.

Does it sound very familiar? In addition to being able to train troops and preside over border trade affairs, Li Jinglong and Zhao Kuo's life trajectory almost coincide with each other during the Warring States Period. He also has a famous father who can refute the veteran in the debate on military tactics.

It is precisely because Li Jinglong has achieved many military training results and has also been to the border to do practical things that Zhu Yunwen and Huang Zicheng believe that Li Jinglong will not be Zhao Kuo's second.

Another point is that Zhao Kuo is actually not that useless. When he replaced Lian Po as the general, Zhao army was at a strategic disadvantage. In addition, King Zhao repeatedly ordered Zhao army to take the initiative to fight, and was surrounded by food and grass, and could still hold on for so long.

If Zhao Kuo was really a person who could only talk about military affairs on paper, would the Zhao army soldiers obey Zhao Kuo's orders and then followed Zhao Kuo to resist the Qin army to the death. Will the Zhao army surrender until Zhao Kuo died in battle?

While belittling Zhao Kuo, he is actually burying Bai Qi.

After all, the Qin army commanded by Bai Qi paid great casualties to finally win the Battle of Changping!

The 500,000 imperial army was divided into several groups and headed northwards. Their final assembly location was in Dezhou, which was also the "base camp" designated by Li Jinglong.

Of course, Li Jinglong went north with a high-spirited mentality. He was under his command of a real army of 500,000, not like Geng Bingwen's command only had 130,000 yuan and claimed 300,000 yuan.

A 500,000 army, although new recruits and stationed soldiers account for an absolute majority, which soldiers did not become veterans after fighting and gradually gained the treatment of war soldiers?

What is the treatment of war soldiers? They do not have to participate in labor, and their food is better than garrisoning soldiers. The people are better, and their weapons and armor will be better served by the court.

"Yan Ni claims to be 300,000, at most, only 120,000 soldiers, and no more than 30,000 soldiers." Li Jinglong would not say that their 500,000 people could drown the Yan army in one mouthful, which would seem quite unprofessional.

Guo Ying laughed a few times before he spoke and said, "The King of Yan only occupied a corner of the land. If he had the same subordinates as the former subordinates of the Beiping Dushi, he would be the limit. If he could fight, he would have little food and few soldiers. How could he fight against the court?"

He was the Marquis of Wuding, and was actually one of Zhu Yuanzhang's confidants. He was responsible for Zhu Yuanzhang's guard for a long time. Later, he followed Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to fight again and again, but he was still experienced many battles.

Emperor Jianwen and those great scholars knew that they had advantages, but they couldn't say what advantages they had.

People who understand the general trend and have the ability to do practical things have a great understanding of the advantages of the court.

Just as Guo Ying said just now, even if the Yan army can fight, Zhu Di has too little capital. Why should he fight against the strong imperial court?

Li Jinglong frowned. He could hear what Guo Ying wanted to express, that it was nothing more than fighting a protracted war and a war of attrition with the Yan army, and slowly consuming the Yan army to death.

With Li Jinglong's military qualities, of course he knew that it was the safest way, but Geng Bingwen, the first person who wanted to fight like that, was repeatedly urged by the emperor with decree. He did not want to be sent by the emperor to constantly convey the decree like Geng Bingwen after getting the emperor's trust. On the one hand, it would disappoint the emperor, and on the other hand, it would seem useless.

"Gen Geng is trapped in Zhending. There are still 80,000 soldiers in the city that can be fought. Yan Ni cannot be eliminated." Li Jinglong looked at Guo Ying and said in an orderly tone: "Gen Geng is a long general. I will give you 100,000 troops. Be sure to break the siege of Zhending and rescue the old general Geng."

Rescuing the besieged friendly forces? This is nothing wrong.

When Guo Ying heard that he could still get the command of 100,000 troops. Thinking of the successive battles after the Yan army rose up, the Yan army was exhausted long ago. He believed that this was a free credit. He stood up and replied loudly, "I thank General for his good intentions!"

The other generals looked at Guo Ying with envious eyes, probably thinking: "Why am I not going to have such a good thing?"

Li Jinglong, as if he was worried about Guo Ying, took people to the edge of the sand table, and explained in detail how Guo Ying was divided into, how he advanced, what would the Yan army react, and how they should deal with it.

Just from the layout, it makes full use of the advantages of mountains and rivers, and it sounds like that.

Guo Ying's military career was to fight whatever the general said, but he didn't have much resistance and agreed one by one.

Li Jinglong said again: "The Emperor has ordered the Liaodong Dushi to attack Yan Nihouyi. If he captures Yongping, he will go straight to Beiping. The main force of our troops can enter Hejian Prefecture. After the Zhending siege is resolved, he can pursue Yan Ni's troops along the way to the city of Beiping. At that time, my 500,000 army will be accompanied by the old subordinates of the Liao King..."

Halfway through the conversation, someone outside reported that the court had new trends.

Li Jinglong had no choice but to let someone come in first to tell me what happened to the court.

It turned out that Zhu Di sent someone to Yingtian to explain why he raised an army, denounced Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng as treacherous officials and asked Zhu Yunwen to punish the two.

Things have developed in a stunning way. Zhu Yunwen really removed Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng's official positions, but they were not imprisoned or something.

"This... is a small defeat. We will lead an army of 500,000 to the north and will surely eliminate Yan Ni. Why is the emperor..." Li Jinglong was speechless.

What Li Jinglong couldn't understand was that the court had clearly dispatched a large army to wipe out the rebellion, and it was almost time to win. Why did Zhu Yunwen of Yingtian get rid of the official positions of Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng by Zhu Di? Isn't it just for nothing to show weakness and increase the morale of the rebels?

The generals and schoolmen in the account actually didn't understand what Zhu Yunwen was doing, and they all showed confusing expressions...
