Chapter 618 The Death of Zhang Yu

Other military officers who had suffered unfair treatment admitted that they felt resentful at this moment. They were all leaders, so how could there be such a difference between people?

Regardless of whether they are important or not, in a critical moment, to save them, I'm sorry, I really can't imagine it. If it were like the Prince of Yan, no, even half of it would be extremely rare!

In the early years of the Hongwu reign, upon hearing Lin Ke's praise, young Zhu Di couldn't help but shake his head proudly, thinking, "Oh, that girl Lin Ke, she's really good at praising people!"

"What's absurd is that some historical records also state that the reason why the Prince of Yan was able to escape was because his nephew, the Jianwen Emperor, showed mercy to his uncle. It is said that Jianwen issued an order: 'Do not let me bear the name of killing my uncle.'"

Prince Zhu Bai of Xiang: Then what am I?!

King Zhu Su of Zhou: You're just too hot-tempered, and you're just unlucky!

"If Jianwen had this intention, then what about Prince Xiang, Zhu Bai, and what about Prince Yan's repeated perilous situations?"

"Oh! He was completely unmoved when he forced Prince Xiang, Zhu Bai, to his death, but when it came to Fourth Uncle, he resorted to this whole thing after the initial confrontation. However, whether he actually said those words is still somewhat controversial."

Old Zhu was puzzled. Why did his Ming Dynasty have so many historical records?

And these are all utterly outrageous things! Did they put up some unofficial historical accounts?

Old Zhu was confused; Old Zhu didn't understand!

Meanwhile, Zhu Yunwen, who remained silent on the other side, cursed inwardly. Was he stupid? Is issuing such an order because he felt he hadn't lost enough, or because he was afraid his fourth uncle's progress was too slow?

"Back on the battlefield, as mentioned before, in the sizable Battle of Dongchang, the two armies were separated by distance. In other words, Zhang Yu, who was in charge of the central army, did not have the ability to see far and wide, so he did not know what the Prince of Yan was doing at that time."

"Therefore, in some accounts, Zhang Yu witnessed Zhu Di's dire situation, took the initiative to attack, and then fought to the death to save the Prince of Yan."

"Ultimately, his military career ended at that moment, in that battle, but the combination of events may be questionable."

"In fact, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. At that time, Zhang Yu did not know whether the Prince of Yan would adapt to the situation or continue the fierce attack, whether the process would be smooth or encounter a sudden change."

"In fact, the Yan army became arrogant and complacent due to their repeated victories."

"Think of the renowned Qu Neng and his son, or even veterans like Geng Bingwen and Yu Tongyuan, didn't they still fall to the Prince of Yan? No matter how desperate the situation at Baigou River was, didn't they still manage to force the opposing commander to throw down his weapons and flee?"

"Nowadays, He Fu is just a bit capable, but can he compare to Geng Bingwen and Qu Neng, father and son?"

Li Jinglong: Okay, okay, we used to call him the God of War of the Ming Dynasty, now we'll call him the opposing commander!

Geng Bingwen, Yu Tongyuan, and He Fu: "..."

"Perhaps due to various reasons, Zhang Yu misjudged the situation and did not consider that this was different from the plan made at the pre-war meeting of the Prince of Yan. After that, he ordered a frontal offensive against the already prepared Central Army vanguard."

"Zhang Yu is certainly brave, but as the saying goes, pride comes before a fall, and a hidden arrow is hard to guard against. This day is no different from any other day; it's just another battle against the Central Army. Haven't we won so many battles before?"

"Unfortunately, Zhang Yu was injured by a stray bullet or firearm during the battle, and his image was forever left in the Battle of Dongchang. He was fifty-eight years old at the time."
