The so-called cold lips and teeth, plus Chuzhou was beaten down by Zhu Yuanzhang, so Chuzhou is in trouble, and Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely send troops to rescue. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Guo Tianxu and his subordinates also analyzed this point thoroughly and asked Zhang Tianyou to come forward as a lobbyist.

However, Guo Tianxu was jealous of Zhu Yuanzhang, didn't Zhu Yuanzhang dislike Guo Tianxu? Chuzhou wanted to be saved, but he couldn't agree to send troops so quickly, so that Guo Tianxu thought that he Zhu Yuanzhang really came when he was recruited, and he went when he was gone.

So Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately delayed for several days, waiting until Guo Tianxu's people came one after another, until Zhang Tianyou was about to go crazy, and when Xiao Zhang couldn't help but beg him in person, he set off to lead the elite troops to fight.

The combined strength of Chuzhou and Haozhou Prefecture was 70,000 or 80,000, but before Zhu Yuanzhang's troops entered Chuzhou, Chen Yexian and others fled.

Before, Chen Ye first heard about the long-term feud between Guo Tianxu and Zhu Yuanzhang, and guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely not support Chuzhou, and maybe he would fall into the ground. Who knew that Zhu Yuanzhang gave up his personal grievances with the overall situation as the priority, which made Chen Yexian's wishful thinking come to naught. Chen Yexian, who was poor for the wolf's ambition, wanted to gnaw away the sick cat Guo Tianxu in his eyes, but accidentally led out Zhu Yuanzhang, a big tiger, could he not escape immediately?

Guo Tianxu was so angry that he scolded Chen Yexian for being a rat, and he didn't even have the determination to fight Zhu Yuanzhang in the first battle, obviously Zhu Yuanzhang didn't do anything, so he let himself owe a favor.

"How dare Marshal Laodu greet him. Zhu Yuanzhang said politely, but his body was motionless, waiting for Guo Tianxu to come over.

"Yes, without your support, Chuzhou is in danger. Guo Tianxu's teeth are about to be crushed, his position is higher than Zhu Yuanzhang, and he personally went out of the city to greet Zhu Yuanzhang, who has given Zhu Yuanzhang a big face, Zhu Yuanzhang also put on a score, obviously not putting him in his eyes, but he was afraid that the Yuan army would go and return, so he had to swallow his anger and thank Zhu Yuanzhang for his arrival with a smile

The people of Chuzhou came to welcome when they heard the voice, and Zhu Yuanzhang did a lot of good things for them when he led Chuzhou, but after Zhu Yuanzhang left, the Jingshan Hall and the Nursery School were no longer managed, and they couldn't help shouting loudly when they welcomed: "Lord Zhu, please don't go, we need you ......"

Countless words asking Zhu Yuanzhang to stay reached the ears of the soldiers, Zhu Yuanzhang's troops were honored, Guo Tianxu and his descendants were embarrassed and unhappy, but others were thoughtful. Unknowingly, Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation in the army was unprecedentedly high, not only the soldiers of Haozhou and Hezhou supported him, but even the soldiers of Chuzhou also recommended him as the commander.

Guo Tianxu was about to be regarded as an invisible person, even if he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, no one paid attention to him, even his uncle Zhang Tianyou was busy currying favor with Zhu Yuanzhang and saddle up for Zhu Yuanzhang. The once invincible marshal watched Zhu Yuanzhang slowly take over all the real power, except for regretting that he shouldn't have led the wolf into the room, he didn't even have the courage to criticize Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang's power is in full swing, and he is actually the supreme commander of Haozhou, Chuzhou, and Hezhou, but he is not satisfied with everything in front of him, and he begins to fight the idea of gathering.

Jiqing is the ancient capital of the six dynasties and the capital of the ten dynasties. Its unique geographical location and extraordinary feng shui good environment since ancient times is the treasure land that the soldiers must fight, there are high mountains, deep water, and plains, and the so-called dragon and tiger are just like that.

If Zhu Yuanzhang wants to be Liu Bang and fight for the world, he must occupy the land of the dragon vein. Superstition was a common problem in feudal times, just like the Yellow River uprising of the Red Turban Army dug up the one-eyed stone man, Liu Futong needed a reason to persuade the peasants to rebel. In the same way, Zhu Yuanzhang now needs a reason to persuade others to support him and fight the world with him.

However, Jiqing is not easy to take, and there is a rolling Yangtze River between Hezhou and Jiqing, and the surging waves are like thousands of horses galloping, which lasts for a long time. Even if there is an occasional time when the wind is calm, it is a vast ocean, and there is no end in sight.

If you want to capture Jiqing, you must cross the river to fight, but Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't even have a boat, and even if he has a boat, he has to train sailors...... In short, now his troops want boats and no boats, and it is a pipe dream to cross the river.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so worried that the corners of his mouth were foaming, Ma Xiuying gave him a bowl of mung bean soup and comforted: "The capture of Jiqing is not something that can be done overnight, you can't be in a hurry now, it is better to urge the soldiers to strengthen water training while buying boats along the river." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more anxious, "How can I train sailors without even a boat?"

"Let's build some rafts and train by the river. If you wait until you have a boat to train the sailors, won't it be even more delayed?"

Zhu Yuanzhang still frowned, "So far, this can only be the case first." I don't know when I will find a boat to send my army across the river. ”

Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's irritability, Ma Xiuying seemed very relaxed, and said with a smile: "I heard that some fishermen nearby are willing to sacrifice their fishing boats in order to support you to cross the river." ”

"One or twenty, to no avail. There are a large number of boats in the hands of the water robbers in Chaohu, but I hate that there are too few people in my team who know how to water, and there is no way to take those water robbers. Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, it was not that he did not send troops to recruit the nearby water robbers, but most of his soldiers were croppers before they became soldiers, and they only knew that their faces were facing the loess and their backs to the sky all day long, and they were brave and good at fighting on land, but they were like scales in the water - sinking as much as they could. And those water thieves are all slippery like loaches, and when they see that there are many Red Turban soldiers, they flee into the water, and when the Red Turban Army withdraws, they harass and sneak attack behind, so that the Red Turban Army often cares about one thing and the other, and is tired of coping.

"Accumulate a lot, gather sand into a tower. I think it won't be long before a large number of ships arrive. Ma Xiuying smiled meaningfully. Yang Yunhua shouted all day long to lead the troops to the battle, and this time it depends on whether she can successfully complete the task. However, before the results came out, Ma Xiuying didn't plan to tell Zhu Yuanzhang, lest he be overjoyed.

"I hope so. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly, didn't think much about it, calmed down and began to train sailors, and ordered a large number of soldiers who knew how to recruit water to buy all the ships near the Yangtze River.

More than ten days later, Hu Dahai recommended a person to be the commander of the sailor, and he explained it like this, "The little brother of the last general is called Deng Youde, and he is the same villager as the last general. His father, Deng Shunxing, once led the people to fight against the Yuan army, but unfortunately was killed by an arrow. Youde heard that the marshal was recruiting troops, so he came to take refuge, and he was also proficient in the sailors, so he recommended this person to the marshal by the last general. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that although Deng Youde was eighteen years old, he was tall and strong, strong in martial arts, and he was like being flat in the water, so he liked it very much, and personally renamed him Deng Yu, and appointed him as the head of the navy and the army.

Deng Yu immediately thanked him and vowed to be loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang with all his heart, and his father also left him some manpower, which was also attached to Zhu Yuanzhang's army this time.

Not far from Hezhou, Chaohu Laoshan, there is a group of water robbers along the river, the leader of this group of water robbers has four fathers and sons, the father is called Yu Tingyu, and the three sons are Yu Tongyuan, Yu Tonghai, and Yu Tongyuan.

This group of water thieves does not distinguish between good and evil, and they are all proficient in water, so that anyone who passes by their territory will be scraped. They dare to rob the fishing boats of ordinary people, and the ships of the Yuan court still dare to rob them, and when they can grab them, they even swallow up the goods with people, and when they can't grab them, they escape into the river and swim faster than the fish. They have been stationed in Chaohu Lake for many years, and they have long been accustomed to doing this kind of business, neither wanting to be a lackey of the Yuan Dynasty, nor wanting to follow the Red Turban Army against the Yuan, so they are still indifferent when they hear the news that Zhu Yuanzhang is recruiting sailors everywhere to buy boats.

However, Yu Tingyu and his son never expected that they would not get involved in the struggle between Zhu Yuanzhang and the Yuan army, but someone would hit them with the abacus.

On this day, Yu Tingyu and his third son were discussing Zhu Yuanzhang's recruitment of troops and boats to train sailors. On the side of the couch, how can they allow others to snore, even if they are safe at present, they are still worried that Zhu Yuanzhang's sailor will one day be strong and will beat their idea, several people are discussing how to take precautions, and suddenly heard the subordinates tell that a magnificent boat appeared on the river, and there were many women on board, it may be which rich gentry passed by with their families.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang solicited boats, there have been many fewer boats on the river, and the water robbers have not "generated income" for a long time. Without waiting for Yu Tingyu's order, the water robbers were already in good spirits and ready to go.

According to the old rules, the water soldiers divided into two routes, first each of them investigated the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and no other ships appeared, and then formed an encirclement trend and approached the magnificent ship in the middle.

Most of the boats in Shuizhai are light boats, the speed is extremely fast, and there is wind on the river today, so the boats ride the wind and waves, and soon arrive at the big ship.

The people on the big boat found out that it was too late, and the small boat was densely packed around, and there was no way out. In an instant, the people on the boat shouted in panic, especially the screams and cries of women.

"Hehe, listen to the voices of these mothers-in-law. The water cowards laughed lewdly, skillfully threw out the rope and iron hook in their hands to hook the big boat, and then put a wooden plank between the two boats, and easily boarded the big boat.

As soon as one of the sailors got on the boat, he shouted, "Wow, there are so many girls!

Another coward shouted, "Come on, brothers, this boat is full of women! There are at least twenty or thirty of them." ”

The women on the boat hugged each other and wept, and a woman in a red shirt with a thick white and pink face trembled on the board, "I beg you kings to take our lives." ”

Having never seen a ship with only women and no men, Yu Tongyuan asked vigilantly, "What are you doing? Where is the money?"

The woman in the red shirt cried and stammered: "I am the mother of Chunfeng Building, and Master Zhang of the neighboring county invited my sister in the building to accompany the wine and entertain guests on his 60th birthday...... I heard that there was a war between the imperial court and the Red Turban Army recently, and the road was not smooth, so I chartered this ship to go over. Whoever wanted to pass by your land met the kings, and the boatmen jumped into the water and fled, leaving us women on the boat...... Ask the king to surround us with our lives, and we are willing to give all the gold, silver, and jewels to the king. ”

Yu Tongyuan had heard of Chunfeng Building, which was one of the best brothels in Hezhou City, and some water cowards sneaked out of the village to find the kiln sister in the Chunfeng Building, and he often heard his brothers say how beautiful and soulful the kiln sister there was. But look at these women on the boat, all of them crying wolves and howling, and their faces are also smeared, it is really difficult to associate with the bewitching beauties described by the brothers. Listening to the piercing scream, he couldn't help frowning, "Don't cry, whoever cries again, I'll throw her into the water and feed Wang Ba!"

Immediately, all the women covered their mouths and looked at Yu Tongyuan in horror.
