Chapter 639 Battle of Fei River
Upon hearing this, everyone present turned their attention to the silent Zhu Yunwen. They were also curious about his feelings at this moment.
Zhu Yunwen, who inexplicably became the center of attention: What are you looking at me for?! What does Jianwen have to do with me, a "little cabbage" who has lost her father?!
Prince Xiang, Zhu Bai, added insult to injury: "Look at my nephew, there's no need for him to run away. Although you've repeatedly dealt harsh blows to your fourth uncle, why would your fourth uncle target you?"
Prince Zhu Su of Zhou chimed in, "We elders would never actually take action. Nephew, just stay obediently in Yingtian and wait for your fourth uncle to deal with the treacherous minister before coming to find you!"
Zhu Di smiled slightly and nodded to Zhu Yunwen, as if that was exactly what he thought.
Zhu Yunwen: Damn it, I'm not Jianwen! I didn't do anything, but he's taking all the blame. Besides, he doesn't believe these uncles!
Seeing that the uncles and nephews were about to start fighting again, Old Zhu sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead: "Alright, listen carefully. If you keep arguing, don't blame me for showing you why the flowers are so red!"
The scolded princes and princes: Father always sides with Yunwen!
Nephew Zhu Yunwen: Grandpa, love me one more time!

"This time, the Prince of Yan has once again undergone a long march. He knows that the imperial army is following behind him. He plans to keep the Zhen Ding army hanging and then choose a suitable place for a decisive battle. But it is hard to say whether Ping An and others are clear about the Prince of Yan's strategy and tactics of surprise."
"After all, Judy's gang of underlings who were carried along by their boss might not even know what the Prince of Yan was thinking at the time."
"In short, the initiative is not in the hands of the imperial army, but in the hands of the Prince of Yan. So, you, the Zhen Ding army behind you, are just asking for trouble!"
Safety:.....
"If the Yan army's move can completely eliminate the Zhen Ding Corps, then the Jingnan Pass will be within reach. So Judy and his men held another small meeting."
"The King of Yan believed that, compared to other rivers with lush vegetation that made them easy targets for ambushes, the geographical conditions of the (South) Fei River were very suitable."
"Because this place is flat and sparsely wooded, it is not easy to be ambushed. Assuming that the other side is safe, he is unlikely to choose the one with more leaves."
"Moreover, the Prince of Yan not only chose the decisive battle location for the opposing side, but also found a place to hide for himself. Due to the Fei River's water conservancy and deep river embankments, there are some blind spots, allowing the Yan army to hide some of its soldiers."
"Some people's underlings work themselves to the bone and still don't get any credit, while others' underlings can get promoted and ennobled just by obeying orders. I have to say, I'm envious."
Some of the military officers' underlings (with resentful expressions): It's all tears when I talk about it!
"Judy came up with another plan: on the one hand, 20,000 elite Yan troops were hidden under the Fei River embankment, and on the other hand, some Yan troops were hidden on both sides of the road with torches, and the rest of the troops were to pretend that we were going to cross the river quietly."
"The Yan army waited for three days, but the Ping'an army did not arrive on time. Most surprisingly, Judy and her group only brought three days' worth of rations."
"So on the third day, his men got anxious. What were those imperial troops doing? Why hadn't they jumped into their trap yet?"
Imperial Army: Thank you so much!
"Therefore, the generals of the Yan army suggested to the King of Yan that if they did not fight, their supplies would run out and they should return as soon as possible. But Judy refused, and not just once."
"It's clear that the Jingnan Campaign was largely thanks to the command of the Prince of Yan. His choices had a very low margin for error, which is why he was able to rise from a vassal king to an emperor."
The rest of us: We don't have much money, so we can't afford to be wasteful.
