Bravely enter the heavens and become a god

Ten days later, She Huaichuan reported: "Ning Wang saw that the 160,000 reinforcements promised by the court had not arrived in the past ten days, and he realized that he had been deceived by Wang Yangming. He concluded that Wang Yangming did not have the troops to fight against him, and he had already sent troops to attack Anqing."

When Luo Ying heard this, he hurriedly wrote four words on the table: "Keep your troops in place", put the words in a brocade bag and handed it to She Huaichuan, saying to him: "Find someone to deliver this brocade bag to my master." She Huaichuan took the order and left.

Zhenwu Emperor asked curiously, "What did you write to him?"

Luo Ying replied: "Keep the troops in place."

Zhenwu Emperor asked in confusion: "Why? The new soldiers should be strong enough to fight after training for the past ten days."

Luo Ying smiled and said, "No hurry. Since Anqing is so important, there must be some tough and smart people defending it. Let them dampen the spirit of King Ning and wear down the fighting spirit of their army. We can conserve our energy and reap the benefits."

When Zhenwu Emperor heard what Luo Ying said, his eyes were full of admiration for her, and he praised her: "You really are worthy of being the commander of a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers. You have such a sharp vision and are so calm and composed!"

Luo Ying smiled and bowed to the Great Emperor Zhenwu, saying, "Brother Taixuan, thank you for the compliment!"

The love in Zhenwu Emperor's eyes when he looked at Luo Ying became stronger and stronger.

Ten days later, She Huaichuan came to report excitedly: "Just as Marshal Luo expected, Prince Ning attacked Anqing for more than ten days, but Anqing did not move at all. Prince Ning is furious."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ying hurriedly wrote down four words on the table: "Besiege Wei to Save Zhao", put them in a brocade bag and gave them to She Huaichuan, saying to him: "Find someone to give this brocade bag to my master."

Zhenwu Emperor asked curiously, "What did you write to him this time?"

Luo Ying said mysteriously: "Besiege Wei to save Zhao" Zhenwu Emperor became even more curious and asked: "You asked him to give up Anqing and attack Nanchang instead?"

Luo Ying nodded, and Zhenwu Emperor asked curiously: "How do you know that Prince Ning will give up Anqing and go back to save Nanchang?"

Luo Ying smiled and said, "A person who can stay in his old nest for more than ten days without moving his troops just because of a rumor that the court sent 160,000 troops to support him is obviously a person without foresight and courage. A person without foresight and courage cannot open up his mind and is easily tied down by emotions. Therefore, he will definitely go back to protect Nanchang!"

In Wang Yangming's military camp, Wang Yangming was holding a military meeting with his generals. Wang Yangming said to the generals: "The Ning Wang rebellion should be suppressed, but supporting Anqing at this time is the stupidest choice. Attacking the old nest of Nanchang is the best choice."

General An asked in confusion: "Prince Ning has been unable to capture Anqing for more than ten days, and has lost a lot of troops and morale. If we don't pursue them now while their troops are tired, when will we do it?"

Wang Yangming smiled and said, "Prince Ning has at least 50,000 men attacking Anqing. According to all his troops, this is considered to be a full-scale attack. The result is that Nanchang's defense is empty. Therefore, attacking Nanchang is the best choice. When the old nest is attacked, Zhu Chenhao will definitely return to rescue. In this way, the danger of Anqing can not only be eliminated, but also the returning troops will be exhausted on the way back and forth. If we set an ambush in the middle of the way, Zhu Chenhao will definitely be defeated..."

Just as he was talking about this, the general handed over a brocade bag. Wang Yangming saw that it was the same brocade bag as last time, so he quickly opened it. He saw the four big characters "Besiege Wei to Save Zhao" on it, and his eyes instantly filled with tears. He murmured to himself: "I knew it was you. There is no one in the world who can be so connected with me. You are finally back!"

General An asked curiously, "Who is the commander talking about?"

Wang Yangming smiled at General An and said firmly: "Our army will win this battle to suppress the rebellion! God is helping us!"

After the meeting, Wang Yangming formally launched an attack on Nanchang. Nanchang's defenses were weak and it was quickly captured.

At the gathering point of Luo Ying and the other seven, She Huaichuan came in excitedly and reported, "Marshal Luo really did foresee the future. Prince Ning led the main force in Anding, and Nanchang City was easily breached due to its weak defense. When Prince Ning knew that Nanchang had fallen, he immediately moved his troops back to rescue."

Emperor Zhenwu looked at Luo Ying and teased her, "Your ability to see through people's hearts is amazing!"

Luo Ying smiled and said, "That's human nature."

Luo Ying asked She Huaichuan: "Did they succeed in breaking through Nanchang this time?"

She Huaichuan excitedly described: "Wang Yangming had arranged 30,000 elite troops for this attack. The Ning Wang's garrison in Nanchang had long heard of Wang Yangming's mastery of military tactics. When they learned that Wang Yangming was coming to attack Nanchang, they were terrified, especially when they saw the troops outside Nanchang City collapse and retreat back into the city. They no longer had any hope of defending Nanchang City."

Luo Ying shook his head and said with a smile: "The strongest city in the world is definitely not a copper wall, but the people's hearts. In fact, Nanchang has been managed by King Ning for many years. It can be said to be impregnable and has all kinds of military equipment. If they start to fight, my master's 30,000 miscellaneous troops are no match for them."

Emperor Zhenwu also agreed, saying, "The Art of War says to surround five and attack ten. To surround the enemy, you need five times as many soldiers as the enemy, and to attack the enemy, you need ten times as many soldiers as the enemy. If Nanchang City is defended to the death, Wang Yangming will not gain any advantage at all."

She Huaichuan took over and said, "Yes! But because this battle was too sudden, they did not expect Wang Yangming to play by his own rules, abandon An Ding, and turn to attack Nanchang. In addition, Wang Yangming's reputation spread far and wide, and the Thirteenth Route Army made the defenders feel trapped in a net, so the morale collapsed instantly, and the entire defenders were in chaos.

Wu Wendi, Wang Yangming's capable general and the main force of the ragtag army, was the first to capture the city gate. As a result, once the main gate was lost, the other gates threw away their weapons and opened the city gates. Wang Yangming's siege troops occupied Nanchang City almost without bloodshed. "

Luo Ying laughed loudly, looked at the Great Emperor Zhenwu and praised: "Brother Taixuan, you have a unique eye for people. This Wu Wending is indeed a good material for leading the army!"

Emperor Zhenwu looked at Luo Ying and said with a smile: "Wu Wending is indeed a good material for leading the army. If it weren't for helping you, I would really be reluctant to hand over such a good talent to Wang Yangming! However, Prince Ning is really stupid! In fact, at this time, it is best to directly capture Anqing in one go and then go straight to Nanjing."

She Huaichuan took over and said, "Yes! The news of the fall of Nanchang reached Anqing, and Prince Ning was in a state of panic. Zhu Chenhao ordered his troops to return to retake Nanchang, but his advisers disagreed. They all suggested that Nanchang should be abandoned, Anqing should be captured as soon as possible, and then the capital should be established in Nanjing. Zhu Chenhao cursed and said, "You are talking without any pain in your waist. My family is suffering in Nanchang City. I must die if I don't go back to Nanchang."

Luo Ying sighed and said, "Once a person has a weak spot, he is not far from failure. Especially the commander of an army. But how many people can let go of their families?"

Emperor Zhenwu laughed and said, "This just shows that Prince Ning's vision is too narrow. He still hasn't figured it out. The safer he is, the safer his family will be. Only when he captures Nanjing will his family have meaning to live. If he is also captured, then the whole family will be executed and nine generations of his clan will be killed. There is no way to escape."

Luo Ying smiled and said, "Yes! He is far inferior to Liu Bang in this respect. Xiang Yu also captured Liu Bang's old father, but Liu Bang said, we are sworn brothers, my father is your father, if you want to cook him, then you have to give me a bowl of meat. It's not that Liu Bang is ruthless, it's just that he had figured it out long ago. If he surrendered, his father would not survive either. This is the typical cost of silence. As long as he didn't die, his father still had a chance of survival.

But Prince Ning obviously didn't understand these principles. He insisted on returning to Nanchang, which was exactly what my master wanted. However, the strength comparison at that time was still much stronger. If he insisted on defending Nanchang, my master's ragtag army would probably be defeated in a few days. "

Luo Ying paused for a moment and said with a smile: "But if we take over Nanchang City, our chances of winning this battle are basically 70 to 80 percent."

Lu Guihuang asked Luo Ying in surprise: "You have neither watched the battle nor commanded the battle on the spot. How can you be so sure?"

Luo Ying smiled proudly at Emperor Lu Gui and said, "Since Zhu Chenhao started the rebellion, his army has been unstoppable, but now my master's army has occupied his old nest, and he cannot capture Anqing. He is in an awkward situation where he can neither attack nor defend.

Prince Ning has been on the march for only half a month, and now he has to return. This is a serious blow to the morale of his troops. At this time, as long as my master takes advantage of the victory and sends out a surprise force to pursue and defeat his vanguard, his army will surely collapse without a fight. The morale of the three armies can be taken away, and the hearts of the generals can be taken away. "

Lu Guihuang asked Luo Ying: "Then how should we help him next?"

Luo Ying looked at Lu Guihuang and smiled mysteriously, saying, "Next, I'll have to trouble Brother Guihuang to help me borrow something."

Emperor Lu Gui asked in surprise: "Me? Is there anything I can do to help their army?"
