Chapter 644 Judy: Vote!
"Moreover, this battle at Qimei Mountain only lasted half a day before everyone returned to their respective camps and did not stay here. The next morning, taking advantage of the morning mist, the imperial army ran towards Lingbi to pay their respects to the Prince of Yan."
"The Prince of Yan wanted to give chase, but because of this damned fog, he was afraid of a trap and dared not go in to chase recklessly. What if he got lost? It wasn't until noon, when the fog cleared, that he began to pursue the imperial army."
Upon hearing this, Prince Zhu Gang of Jin chuckled, "No way, Fourth Prince, you're only thinking of pursuing me now? It's too late already!"
Zhu Di was about to roll his eyes at him, but Lin Ke's next words immediately vindicated him, giving his second brother a resounding slap in the face.
Zhu Gang: No, not at all.
"Although Zhu Laosi started a bit late, the imperial army was just too unlucky."
"Marching into the fog, we figured the fog had disrupted our direction, and we were only a dozen miles ahead of the Yan army before the King of Yan and his men caught up with us. We ran for half a day and got nothing in return."
He Fu: Very well, very well, then ask the Prince of Yan, why did you chase after him so quickly!
"Since we're going to run into each other, let's make some preparations. He Fu, the commander-in-chief, was very responsible and immediately came up with a plan. Unfortunately, during the Yongle reign, he was impeached and hanged himself."
Zhu Yunwen secretly regretted not being able to stop his fourth uncle. If he had known what was ahead, he shouldn't have been so reckless. No one was as unlucky as him, who only reigned for four years before being overthrown.
Liu He, who sat on the throne for 27 days: Brother, why don't you take a look at me?
Zhu Gaochi, who has been in office for less than a year: One should not be too competitive in life!
"After that, the imperial army began to form ranks, transport earth, and dig trenches. Their will seemed to have overcome the hunger and exhaustion of the past few days. Under this formation, the Yan army did not launch an attack easily, but set up camp nearby, with the main strategy of 'you run, I chase, you can't escape'."
Wan Chaozhongren: That description is quite apt, but something feels off.
"So, He Fu ordered the imperial army to dig trenches and form ranks while secretly marching towards Lingbi. Neither army dared to let their guard down."
"Especially since the other side is Judy, who likes to launch surprise attacks, He Fu would dig one up, then drop it and run away before digging another one."
"Most importantly, the imperial army was running out of food. Despite not being well-fed, they continued to march and dig under He Fu's command, pushing their limits with sheer willpower. Unfortunately, they ran into a civil war in the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow. He was happy that these soldiers were of good quality, but sad that they might be killed by his fourth son soon.
My troublesome grandson, my rebellious son, our Ming Dynasty, our soldiers.
"Compared to the imperial army, which is exhausted and hungry, the Yan army is in a much better situation; at least they don't have to worry about food."
"However, the Prince of Yan has always been cautious. He carried out all the necessary reconnaissance and patrols, as well as the defense of the soldiers, until the imperial army arrived in Lingbi District."
"Just then, discordant voices arose in the Prince of Yan's army. Lingbi is within the territory of the imperial court, and He Fu is not easy to deal with. What if the imperial court sends supplies in time? Wouldn't all their pursuit have been in vain?"
"So, many soldiers of the Yan army went to the boss Judy and asked to move their camp to rest east of a small river near Lingbi where there was plenty of food. But the boss said: 'That's a good suggestion. Don't make suggestions like that next time. We don't agree.'"
"But he underestimated the determination of these underlings to exchange territory; only Zhu Neng and Zheng Heng in the entire camp expressed their support for him."
"Seeing this situation, Judy generously suggested a vote by raising hands. As it turned out, Zhu Di's underlings were indeed different; they were very honest. Most of them stood on the side of the river crossing, while the remaining few followed the Prince of Yan."
"Oh, wait, there's still Wang Zhong left standing in the middle. He said it doesn't matter, anything is fine. Seeing this situation, Zhu Di almost died of anger. 'I told you to vote, and you actually voted by name?'"
"So the King of Yan, in a fit of temper, didn't care anymore and angrily said: 'If you want to cross the river, then go wherever you want from now on, but don't follow us!'"
"When the brothers saw that the Prince of Yan was really angry, none of them dared to suggest crossing the river to rest anymore."
