Chapter 281: A Bad Guy Who Drills a Camp
Liu Ji is really not an idle person, and it didn't take long for him to present the "Eighteen Strategies for Current Affairs" not long after he came to Yingtianfu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The main contents of the eighteen strategies are: first, destroy Chen Youliang first, and then take Zhang Shicheng; 2. Exterminate Fang Guozhen; 3. Garrison soldiers to support themselves; Fourth, do not disturb the people excessively and use the people's power excessively; 5. Strictly enforce military discipline and manage the army in a proper manner......
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he read it, and once again bowed to Liu Ji, calling him "Mr." instead of calling him by his name, and asked him for advice on everything.
Li Shanchang, who gradually felt the cold, became more and more unhappy in his heart, and he felt that his position as the first adviser was in jeopardy.
In fact, in the eyes of everyone, Zhu Yuanzhang did not snub Li Shanchang, he is still the chief manager of the army, responsible for managing copywriting, but there is just a little less of planning for the war. But Zhu Yuanzhang relied on him too much before, and now he is slightly biased towards Liu Ji, which makes him feel lost, and even afraid of completely losing Zhu Yuanzhang's favor, and begins to separate from Liu Ji intentionally or unintentionally.
is also a civil official, and the subtle changes in Li Shanchang's psychology were soon noticed by Hu Weiyong, who was sent by Ying Tianfu. The so-called errand is a very unpopular petty official, and he is in charge of sending notes and notes. Hu Weiyong heard that Zhu Yuanzhang loved talents, he was conceited and talented, and rushed to take refuge, but he only got such a small civil official position, you can imagine how depressed he was in his heart. At this time, seeing that Li Shanchang was depressed and lonely, he immediately realized that the opportunity to stammer had come.
Hu Weiyong prepared a gift and asked to see him, and he used a very good excuse - a visit to his fellow villagers in Dingyuan. At this time, people have always valued the feelings of "fellow villagers" and generally will not turn them away.
But for Li Shanchang, there are many fellow villagers, and most of Zhu Yuanzhang's old departments originated in Haozhou, Dingyuan and other places. If he usually wouldn't have met these so-called fellow villagers at all, but at this moment, he had a feeling that the wall was falling down and everyone was pushing him, and when he heard that there were still people willing to come to see him, he was not only surprised but also moved.
Hu Weiyong is a guy who is very good at drilling camps, and before he came, he deliberately inquired about Li Shanchang's deeds and temperament, and every sentence was to his liking, mentioning Liu Ji and other Jiangsu and Zhejiang scribes with derogatory connotations, which made Li Shanchang smile. Seeing that the fire was coming, he said respectfully: "The students have admired the master for a long time, and the adults are high and bright, and the hard work is high, which makes the students very admired, and I hope to be able to worship under the door of the adults, and from then on, the head of the horse is the first to look forward." Please don't dislike students for being stupid. ”
Li Shanchang was very happy, everyone only valued the newcomer Liu Ji, and they couldn't imagine that there were still people who respected themselves so much, and Hu Weiyong himself was full of wealth and talent, so he immediately accepted him as a protégé and regarded him as a confidant.
As a confidant, Hu Weiyong did not disappoint Li Shanchang, when he selected Zhang Shu, he often postponed Liu Ji's excerpts and sent them late, and even secretly told Li Shanchang the content of Liu Ji's Shangshu.
Li Shanchang used this way to prepare a perfect strategy in advance to attack Liu Ji's political views, because he was well prepared and his words were sharp, so he really stumped Liu Ji several times and made him lose face.
In the officialdom, partisan disputes are inevitable, but now that Zhu Yuanzhang's overall situation is undecided, Liu Ji does not want to go toe-for-tat with Li Shanchang, and tolerates everywhere, which makes Li Shanchang very proud and wild for a while, and he has become a leading leader among civil officials.
Hu Weiyong's allegiance was not in vain, and with Li Shanchang's support, it didn't take long for him to be transferred from the post of messenger to Ningguo as the chief bookkeeper and county magistrate...... In the end, he became the prime minister, ranking first among the hundred officials. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
Zhu Yuanzhang rushed to respond to Tianfu in order to deal with Chen Youliang's attack, before Chen Youliang had not established himself as the emperor, he had coerced Xu Shouhui to attack the Taiping occupied by Zhu Yuanzhang, and now he corresponded to Tianfu's eyesight.
Why did Chen Youliang actually coerce Xu Shouhui, the emperor, to attack Zhu Yuanzhang? Because Xu Shouhui disagreed with this matter very much, he said helplessly at the time: "I don't object to what you want to do, but we and Zhu Yuanzhang are both rebels, why don't we fight against the Yuan together?" Why cannibalism. ”
Chen Youliang was furious in his heart: What a fool, don't look at the current situation, hum! Who do you think you are, you dare to talk to me in such a teaching tone, you originally wanted to spare your life, you forced me! His face did not move, and he said in front of the ministers: "Your Majesty, although we and Zhu Yuanzhang are both rebels, there can only be one king in this world, even if we don't get rid of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang will attack us sooner or later, don't Your Majesty take advantage of his weakness to destroy it, and keep it to be strong?" ”
In this way, Chen Youliang hijacked Xu Shouhui to send troops, and after a few days, he deceived Xu Shouhui to Quarry Rock on the pretext of checking the terrain, and stoned him to death, and then lied that Xu Shouhui himself fell and died.
Seeing that there was no leader among the ministers of Tianwan Kingdom, Chen Youliang's second brother Chen Yougui took the opportunity to stand up and support his eldest brother as Emperor Tianwan, and the third brother Chen Youren held a long sword and stared at everyone fiercely.
At this time, Chen Youliang had basically controlled the Tianwan regime, and the ministers were very afraid of his ruthlessness, and they were even more silent about Xu Shouhui's death.
Chen Youliang didn't even bother to pretend to be humble, and immediately proclaimed himself the emperor, founded the country called the Han Dynasty, changed the Yuan Dynasty, and took Zou Pusheng as the master, Zhang Bixian as the prime minister, and Zhang Dingbian as the captain and the privy council.
After the establishment of the Han regime, Chen Youliang led the main force down the river to the east, directly attacking Yingtianfu, and at the same time sent someone to ask Zhang Shicheng to attack from east to west, in an attempt to eliminate Zhu Yuanzhang in one fell swoop.
Zhang Shicheng's life was not easy during this time, he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang's army to be so tough, and it could be on par with his forces. Every war inevitably loses soldiers, and he asks the court for support, but the court is indifferent. This made his subordinates increasingly worried, the generals in the rich Jiangsu and Zhejiang have become accustomed to a luxurious and comfortable life, and they are unwilling to fight with their lives, and they have persuaded him to temporarily withdraw troops to preserve their strength, and some people told him about the dialogue between Timur and his henchmen, asking him to guard against the counterattack of the imperial court.
Zhang Shicheng was shocked, in order to prevent Yuan Ting from dealing with him, he had to leave a way for Zhu Yuanzhang to live, so he did not agree to attack Zhu Yuanzhang with Chen Youliang. Especially when he heard the news that Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang were going to war, he was so happy that he almost couldn't sleep, these two people fought hard, the more intense the fight, the better, and when they both lost, they would pick up the bargain by themselves. So he watched with peace of mind, completely unaware that Zhu Yuanzhang's next target was himself.
Xu Shouhui originally had several confidants and generals, all of whom were almost eliminated by Chen Youliang, Ding Pulang and Fu Youde saw that the situation was not good and despised Chen Youliang's personality very much, so they simply led their troops to Zhu Yuanzhang, and told Chen Youliang about the conspiracy and disposition of Chen Youliang coming to attack Ying Tianfu and colluding with Zhang Shicheng.
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a cold sweat, he thought that Chen Youliang was misled by fake drawings, and there was no threat to Tianfu, but he didn't expect Chen Youliang to not only attack the whole country, but also to ally Zhang Shicheng. Fortunately, he listened to Liu Ji's words and was ready to fight Chen Youliang, otherwise Chen Youliang's elite ship arrived, wouldn't he only be in a position of being beaten?
