This autumn was really an eventful autumn, Wang died, Ma Xiuying was sick, and Zhu Biao was also sick, which made Zhu Yuanzhang's hair so gray that he was worried. Fortunately, the battle ahead went smoothly, so that he would not be completely overwhelmed.

The Western Wu Army is no longer what it used to be, and its excellent generals, sophisticated combat readiness, and militarized management have transformed this team and made it invincible. Even without Zhu Yuanzhang personally supervising the army, good news continued to come from the front line.

Xu Da and Chang Yuchun led 200,000 troops from Taihu Lake to Huzhou. One of these two men is known for his strategy, and the other is known for his courage and determination. I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang is very good at using generals, taking Xu Da as the positive and Chang Yuchun as the deputy, using his strengths, cooperating with each other and complementing each other. In a short period of time, Xu Da went to Baoqing and Pinghu Xiang, often attacked Ganzhou in spring, and was invincible along the way, capturing Yin Yi, Chen Wang, Shi Qing, Wang Hai and other generals, and also surrendered many Zhang Shicheng's generals.

Soon, Chen Youliang's old general, Xiong Tianrui, also led his troops to surrender.

This Xiong Tianrui is a native of Jingzhou, Hubei, originally a musician, and was appreciated by Xu Shouhui and promoted to general. After Chen Youliang seized power, he ordered him to capture Linjiang, Ji'an, Ganzhou and other places, and immediately appointed him as a political participant to guard the nearby prefectures and counties of Ganzhou. But he hated Chen Youliang for killing Xu Shouhui in his heart, so he faintly betrayed, and after the momentum grew, he called himself the commander of Jin Ziguanglu, Situ, Pingzhang military affairs and guards.

Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang fought a decisive battle at Poyang Lake, but he did not send troops to help, and watched coldly. Until Chen Youliang was defeated and died, he wanted to go down to Lingnan, but he retreated in a miasma in the rain. This time, Chang Yuchun attacked Ganzhou, and he knew that he could not resist, so he led his army to surrender. However, Zhu Yuanzhang and his old master Xu Shouhui are also mortal enemies, he is not convinced by Zhu Yuanzhang in his heart, and just wants to take this opportunity to find out the movements of the Western Wu Army and then go to Zhang Shicheng.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been betrayed by his subordinates several times, and his suspicions have become heavier and heavier, especially for those who surrender voluntarily. He thinks that these people can betray the old master today, and they can betray him tomorrow. As for what he once said when he recruited generals, "Suspicious people are not needed, and people are not suspicious," and other words have long disappeared in the wind with the change of the situation.

Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang learned that Xiong Tianrui was coming, he immediately wrote a letter to warn Xu Da, "As long as Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng's troops come to surrender, you don't want to leak our army's battle plan, only say that we will go straight to Pingjiang, Zhang Shicheng's nest." These two generals have been fighting with our army for a long time, and they have deep grievances with each other, so they are willing to easily join them. If the generals who come to surrender have no dissenting intentions, if they do, they will surely inform our enemies, and we can use these generals to paralyze their opponents. ”

So the entire conquest army, except for Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Ye Dui, knew the real battle plan, and the rest of the soldiers thought that they would directly attack Pingjiang.

In order to completely paralyze Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered Li Wenzhong to attack Hangzhou, Hua Yunlong to attack Jiaxing, and at the same time sent troops to contain Zhang Shicheng's forces.

Zhu Yuanzhang's worries were not superfluous, and within a few days, Xu Da suddenly found that Xiong Tianrui was missing on the way to the army, and several cronies who surrendered with him were also missing. The soldiers searched for a long time, and only then did they learn from the people that the direction in which these men rode their horses away was Pingjiang.

Xiong Tianrui, this guy really has bad intentions, but it's a pity that no matter whether he wants to use the power of Eastern Wu to attack Western Wu to avenge the old master, or wants to spy on the intelligence of the army and then go to Zhang Shicheng to ask for credit, he has miscalculated! Xu Da sneered and hurriedly ordered the army to move forward quickly.

Zhang Shicheng listened to Xiong Tianrui's words and the news of the spies' report, and really thought that the Western Wu army was going to drive directly to Pingjiang, so he hurriedly deployed troops in Pingjiang and made a foolproof plan.

Who knew that the Eastern Wu Army waited and waited, but Pingjiang was still calm, and even the flies that flew in and out of the city gate were still the same ones.

Zhang Shicheng waited drowsily, glared at Xiong Tianrui, who came to surrender to Cheng, and asked: "Didn't you say that Xu Da's army will arrive in Pingjiang in a few days, why did they wait for four or five days and still disappear?"

Xiong Tianrui hurriedly knelt down, "The subordinates don't dare to deceive King Wu, the Western Wu army does plan to attack Pingjiang directly, and the soldiers who came with me to join King Wu can testify." ”

Several cronies nodded and swore that there would be no lies.

Zhang Shicheng's eyelids matched, yawned and said, "Then Lonely, just wait a few more days." ”

He was bored waiting in Pingjiang, but he didn't know that his brothers and subordinates would be driven by the Western Wu army.

Zhang Shixinguan worshiped the prime minister of Eastern Wu, and was sent by Zhang Shicheng to garrison Kunshan, this person was absurd and promiscuous, and he heard that the Western Wu sent a large army to attack Eastern Wu or was not impatient, anyway, he did not hit in front of him, he still played dice all day long, watched big plays, molested women, eat, drank, prostituted and gambled.

Who knew that the Western Wu army suddenly fell from the sky and surrounded Kunshan.

Zhang Shixin was enjoying the song and dance with his arms around the kabuki, and was shocked when he heard that the enemy was coming, and when he asked again and learned that the enemy had entered the city, he immediately shouted in a panic: "Didn't you say that the Western Wu army was going to attack Pingjiang, why did they attack my Kunshan?

The heart will cry with a sad face, "My prime minister, what do you care about Pingjiang and Kunshan now, hurry up and run for your life." ”

"Flee, the city is surrounded, where to flee?" Zhang Shixin circled like a trapped beast.

The ministry glanced at a group of kabuki who were trembling like quails, and said, "Until now, the only way to do this is to disguise the wronged prime minister as them and get out of the city first." ”

Escaping for his life is important, Zhang Shixin doesn't care about his face and lining, he immediately put on the costume of a kabuki, covered his face with a veil, and threatened this group of kabuki fiercely, "You take me out of the city quickly, if anyone dares to reveal my whereabouts, I will send her to the west first!"

Kabuki didn't dare.

Zhang Shixin didn't even care about his family, and immediately urged Kabuki to flee.

Kabuki was forced by his threat, and no one dared to talk nonsense along the way, and when he encountered the inspection of the Western Wu army, he also helped him cover up.

In this way, Zhang Shixin escaped this catastrophe in the kabuki, and he also told fortunes. He fled all the way to Huzhou, and Zhang Tianqi, the Huzhou guard, knew that the Western Wu army had attacked under his eyelids, and hurriedly led the partial generals Huang Bao, Tao Zibao and others to meet the battle.

How could the Eastern Wu army, which was in a hurry to respond to the battle, be able to compete with the Western Wu army, which had come prepared? The Eastern Wu army lacked training and was vulnerable to the elite soldiers of Western Wu. As soon as Huang Bao sent troops from the south gate, he encountered Chang Yuchun's head-on attack, which made him dizzy, and he even made a mistake in the direction of escape, and took the initiative to send it to the Western Wu army.

Chang Yuchun laughed so much that tears flowed out, and said to Xu Da: "Zhang Shicheng's subordinates are all this kind of ramming!"

The soldiers couldn't help but laugh and laughed.

Huang Bao's face was so red that he could almost bleed, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
