Chapter 599 Li Jinglong: Prince Yan! You've ruined me!
"Just as Zhu Di was overjoyed at the capture of Daming, an urgent letter from his son Zhu Gaochi arrived in his hands, stating that Beiping was in dire need of help and requesting the Prince of Yan to return to its aid immediately."
"Let's turn back the clock to when the Prince of Yan left Beiping. Just as Zhu Di predicted, once he left, Li Jinglong did not let go of the more than 10,000-strong Beiping city under his command."
"In October of that year, he led his troops north, heading straight for the walls of Beiping. His son, Zhu Pangpang, obeyed his father's orders and held firm."
"However, the disparity in troop strength was enormous. The city had only about ten thousand soldiers and officers, and even with the addition of ordinary people, they could not hold out for long. At this time, Xu Da's eldest daughter, Empress Xu, Zhu Di's first wife, played a crucial role."
"When the situation was critical, it was she who organized the women in the city, armed them, and went up to defend the city. Their husbands were soldiers fighting on all sides, and at this moment, they were also heroes protecting the rear."
"Of course, Zhu Gaochi also served as the leader of this operation and played a role. For example, one day, taking advantage of the enemy's lack of attack, he poured water on the city wall overnight. When the next day it was cold and the water froze, the enemy was unable to attack."
"In just a few words, one can understand the hardship of the Battle of Beiping."
In another timeline, Li Jinglong's heart skipped a beat. Why wasn't he mentioned? Beiping was able to be defended, which meant that even with an army of 500,000, he couldn't break through?
The suspicious gazes of the crowd scrutinized him thoroughly. Could it be that he, too, had been captivated by the charm of the Prince of Yan/Fourth Prince, and was a spy?
Li Jinglong: Prince Yan, you have ruined me!
"On the other hand, Li Jinglong's performance was as follows: when passing by the unguarded Lugou Bridge, he laughed and said: 'If this bridge is not guarded, I think Zhu Di is bound to lose!' Not to mention his poor command, he also showed a slight lapse in judgment in the matter of Qu Neng, the Southern Army Commander."
"He once led more than a thousand elite cavalrymen to break into Zhangye Gate, but Li Jinglong either failed to provide reinforcements or was greedy for merit, so he let him in to kill before allowing them to advance."
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze shifted from doubt to confirmation. They thought he sounded incredibly foolish. Zhu Yunwen was truly blessed to have a few of them!
Zhu Yunwen remained silent. "Wait, is this all the guy's skill level is?"
Zhu Di pressed his lips down hard. He was miserable, he was in a terrible state!
Li Jinglong, who dared not utter a word, could only cover his ears and burst into tears!
He did all these things? Are you kidding me? Is the rumor wrong?
Even Qin Shi Huang, who lived more than two thousand years ago, could be exonerated. He's begging his descendants! Please clear his name! This is a matter of life and death! I promise, if I survive this, I'll be a good person!
Li Jinglong's little self prayed frantically in his heart, "Please, please!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and went straight for the trembling Li Jinglong. Could this kid be holding back?!
"But we can ignore Li Jinglong's true situation for now and focus on the battle between Zhu Di, who rushed back."
Li Jinglong: ??? Fine, fine, fine! You really don't care about your ancestors at all!
In another live stream, Lin Ke sneezed a few times and touched her nose. Could she have caught a cold?
"At the same time, Zhu Di and others rushed back to reinforce. Li Jinglong had also made arrangements in advance, connecting nine battalions at Zhengcunba between Tongzhou and Beiping."
"However, there is a rather outrageous record next. It is said that Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty was known to be the chosen one of the universe, and there are records of him being hit by a large meteorite and freezing."
Liu Xiu, the Chosen One of the Great Han Dynasty: "..."
"Hey! Guess what? Our Judy also has a similar record. In November of that year, when it was snowing heavily, the Yan King's army marched through the snow."
"It is said that Zhu Di silently prayed: If Heaven helps me, then the river ice will freeze. What's absurd is that it actually froze. What's even more absurd is that this is recorded in the Veritable Records of Emperor Taizong of Ming."
Zhu Yuanzhang: Why don't we believe it?
"However, it was winter at the time, and it was snowing heavily. The temperature was very low, so it was probably normal for the river to freeze."
