The Imperial Age 山河月明 Episode 39

Zhang Fu placed Zhu Xi's letter to Tie Xuan on the arrow cluster, and shot it at the city gate to Tie Xuan. Tie Xuan opened it and saw that it was a letter of persuasion to surrender. Tie Xuan did not agree, and returned to Zhu Xi an article saying that He is a deceitful villain. Zhu Di ordered Jinan to be captured ten days later, but Sheng Yong was not a generalist after all. After a month of fighting, the Yan army still failed to capture Jinan. At this time, Zhu Di did not follow the suggestion of his subordinates and continued to attack Jinan stubbornly. When the old general Chen Heng went to Jinan, Daoyan told Zhu Di that if Jinan was unfavorable in this battle, he should make a decisive decision and do not plan for the gain or loss of one city and one pool.

Later, Tie Xuan suddenly sent a letter, saying that he had long been willing to surrender, but Sheng Yong took it too seriously. He had already won the South Gate, and he hoped that Zhu Di would be able to enter Jinan through the South Gate at Mao Shi. Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu both felt that this matter was too strange, and Zhu Xi should not believe it, but Zhu Xi believed that Tie Xuan was a decent man and would not do such a deceitful surrender. But he didn't know that Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong had already planted heavy troops at the South Gate, waiting for Zhu Di to enter the urn. Tie Xuan was still benign in the end, he didn't want Zhu Di's life, and repeatedly told the soldiers to keep alive people, and Sheng Yong was worried about what would happen, so he was already fully prepared.

At that time, Zhu Di rode his horse and slowly approached the city gate. Zhang Fu saw with sharp eyes that there was a change in the gate of the city gate. He immediately reminded him that the gate of the city gate fell, cutting off the neck of Zhu Di's war horse, and Zhu Di fell off the horse. There is no problem. Zhang Yu protected Zhu Xi and returned to the army. Zhu Xi looked back, his eyes full of anger of being deceived. He ordered to bombard the Jinan city gate with artillery, but Tie Xuan actually hung the tablet of the Zhu family on the city gate. Zhu Neng reluctantly told Zhu Xi about it, and Zhu Xi was even more furious. Daoyan decided to meet Zhu Di, and he felt that Zhu Di was already a little emotional in Jinan.

Ping'an led an army to raid the Yan army's grain road, and old General Chen Heng was seriously injured. Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng both asked Zhu Di to teach him, but Zhu Di had to agree. After the Yan army retreated, Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong were overjoyed. The news came back to the imperial court, Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed, Jin Tiexuan was the Minister of War, and Sheng Yong was the general of Pingyan. Sheng Yong soon led his army out of Jinan and decided to fight against Zhu Di's Yan army in Dongchang. The two sides faced off with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Zhu Di always rushed to the front. Sheng Yong wanted to send someone to kill Zhu Di, but he and the soldiers wore the same clothes and could not tell them apart.

At this time, Tie Xuan became ruthless and ordered to behead all the two teams. Their hiding place was discovered. Yan Jun shot them with bows and arrows. Tie Xuan hit an arrow. Sheng Yong protected him and escaped. At this time, Zhu Di was already injured, and the Southern Army had surrounded them. Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu desperately protected Zhu Di and asked Zhu Neng and others to take Zhu Di away. Zhang Yu was finally surrounded by the southern army, Sheng Yong advised him to surrender, Zhang Yu refused, and finally died heroically, Zhang Fu was captured. Zhu Di gritted his teeth and asked Zhu Gaojiu and Tan Yuan to take 3,000 elite cavalry to raid the southern army's food route. The raid was successful, and the southern army only had a month's surplus of food left.

Zhu Di asked Zhu Neng to spread the word. He was willing to use the captured Southern Army thousands of households and other more than a hundred people in exchange for Zhang Yuquan's corpse and the living Zhang Fu and other Yan army officers. . Sheng Yong was helping Zhang Yu sort out his remains. He told Tie Xuan that although the Yan army was severely damaged in this battle, they were also damaged soldiers.
