After the peace was laid, it was quarrying further east. Chen Youliang saw that it was so smooth now, so he felt that since Ying Tian was at his fingertips, he was not in a hurry, and stationed his army on the riverbank, wanting to get rid of Xu Shouhui, who was a puppet emperor under him.

Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind that if he was not satisfied, he would die if he was not satisfied, so he was not in a hurry to provoke him, but secretly seized the territory of other regions and recruited the wise men around his territory.

A month later, not long after Zhu Biao's birthday, Hu Dahai took the state. Immediately afterward, the people who had been sent to visit Hyun also returned.

This visit to Xian enabled Zhu Yuanzhang to fight back, turn defeat into victory, and even later annihilate Chen Youliang.

Because, this invitation not only invited Ye Chen and Zhang Yi, two hermit masters, but also invited back Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, who were as famous as Zhuge Liang in history.

Hu Dahai forgot how many times he invited Liu Bowen, but the other party always turned a blind eye. He wanted to give up, but Ye Chen Zhangyi said that ten of them were not worth one Liu Bowen. So, Hu Dahai endured it, he continued to ask, and Liu Bowen also continued to touch the nail for him.

Later, one day a carrier pigeon flew in, and there was a note on the carrier pigeon, in which Hu Dahai was asked to hand over another wax-sealed note to Liu Bowen, Hu Dahai did so, and Liu Bowen went out of the mountain.

At the end of April of the sixth year of Longfeng (1360), not long after Chen Youliang killed Xu Shouhui and established himself as the king of Han, Liu Bowen arrived in Yingtian.

His exit from the mountain was the same as Zhu Sheng, and when Zhu Yuanzhang was at his weakest, he gave Zhu Yuanzhang a large dose of chicken blood.

Liu Bowen is not at all like those officials who are afraid of death, he advocates a decisive battle like Xu Da, Li Shanchang, Tang He and others, and is even more resolute than Xu Da.

Ah Xiu was dressed as a man at this time, and was standing in the crowd behind Tang He staring at Liu Bowen, she saw that Liu Bowen in cloth and scarf only said one sentence, that is: "If you fight, you will win, and if you don't fight, you will die!" ”

The crowd exploded, and those who advocated running away were accusing Liu Bowen, but Liu Bowen didn't look at them at all.

Ah Xiu was startled, and thought: Great God, what you said is really hard! If my husband gets angry, you're going to have to drink a pot! When the time comes, you have to grab Tang and Xu Da to save you.

Ah Xiu swallowed his saliva unconsciously, staring at Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction.

In the chaos, I saw Zhu Yuanzhang ask him quietly: "Sir, please say this war word." ”

Fortunately, my husband was not angry and saved a lot of saliva. Amitabha! Ah Xiu whispered in his heart.

Liu Bowen said: "To fight, there are only two things: First, kill those who advocate not fighting. 2. Fubing Dragon Bay. ”

The crowd fell silent again.

Ah Xiu's eyes lit up and thought: This sentence is even harder! Speak strongly. Doglegs who advocate running away! Deserve! You advocate running again!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ministers who had just said what they had just said, leaving Qingshan without worrying about the lack of firewood, and snorted coldly: "Useless things, now that you hear that you are going to kill your head, do you just shut up?!" ”

Looking around, Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Is there anyone who advocates abandoning Yingtian?" ”

Silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "That is the case, Xu Da, take my handsome order to stand here, and if there is anyone who abandons the city, behead!" Xu Da immediately received the order, held the military order, and stood aside.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Ji: "Sir, please sit down, Yuanzhang is willing to hear the details." ”

Liu Bowen thanked but didn't sit down, he walked to the map in the tent and stood down, pointed out Longwan to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then began to explain.

Liu Bowen believes that the most dangerous enemy is Chen Youliang, who is outside the gate of heaven in front of him, and he must fight him. Although Chen Youliang is powerful and claims to have 600,000 soldiers and horses, he has lost the hearts of the people after killing Xu Shouhui and establishing himself as the king, so 600,000 is less than 160,000.

Liu Bowen also believes that although we only have 200,000 soldiers and horses here in Yingtian, we have always been supported by the people and can be used as millions. Therefore, Chen Youliang is not afraid, as long as he sets up an ambush in Longwan, sends people to lead them deeper, and then encircles and annihilates them with ambush troops, it is not difficult to win.

This set of reasonable and well-founded feasible plans completely moved Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was about to divide his troops and send generals, but was stopped by A Xiu.

Ah Xiu got out from behind Tang and Xu Da, first nodded to Liu Bowen, and then whispered a few words to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, Ah Xiu asked Tang He and Xu Da to move out of the two boxes, put them in the tent and said:

"Now the thief Chen Youliang has killed the king and stood on his own, and he has come to my Yingtian again, trying to slaughter my Yingtian people. This battle is a battle against the water! In this case, when the men go into battle to kill the enemy, we women and children will naturally not stand idly by! ”

So he motioned to Tang He to open the two boxes, which were full of gold, silver and jewelry, regardless of the uproar of the officials, Ah Xiulang said again: "Inside this box is the dowry given to me by my father-in-law Guo Zixing when I got married and the money I have accumulated over the years. Now that there are no eggs under the nest, there is no point in surviving any longer. ”

After a pause, he pointed to his box and said, "These gold and silver, now everyone has divided them according to their heads, regardless of their grade!" The other box is kept, the city is broken, needless to say, once it is held, it will be distributed to everyone according to military merits! ”

The crowd was in an uproar, and they knew that Mrs. Ah Xiu was very simple, and when she dressed up every day, she was dressed according to the standards of her own grade, and there was no extravagance. Now she even took out her dowry and self-money and distributed it to everyone, what a righteous woman!

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ah Xiu ordered Chang Yuchun Tang and Xu Da to distribute these treasures separately, and they quickly finished dividing them, so they arranged the army, set up a siege, and waited for Chen Youliang. Early the next morning, all the departments sneaked out of the city to set up an ambush according to the deployment of the previous day, but Liu Bowen borrowed someone from Zhu Yuanzhang.

This person is Kang Maocai, who had defected to Zhu Yuanzhang in Jiqing and had been friends with Chen Youliang for many years, and is now stationed near Longwan.

Zhu Yuanzhang readily agreed, so Liu Bowen wrote a secret order, stamped Zhu Yuanzhang's seal, and asked Chang Yuchun to send it to Longwan.

Kang Maocai received the secret order, so he repaired the book to Chen Youliang, saying that he had been repeatedly squeezed out by Zhu Yuanzhang, and was now being fined for growing grain in Longwan, so that Chen Youliang used "Lao Kang" as a code to use Longwan to attack the sky.

In the sixth year of Longfeng (1360), Chen Youliang received the letter and was overjoyed, and he pulled out the army to come to Longwan overnight. In the early morning of June 23, when he had just entered Delong Bay, it was raining, and the sergeant hurriedly took shelter from the rain, and saw a purple suit coming through the rain. Chang Yuchun, who was in purple clothes, led the ambush soldiers to attack head-on, and Xu Da and Tang He heard the order to lead the troops to echo from the rear of Chen Youliang.

Under the internal and external attacks, Chen Youliang's army was scattered and fled for his life in all directions, but he faced the mountains on both sides and was blocked to death. Chen Youliang couldn't, so he had to take a few cronies to break through the siege. Liang Xuan, Yu Guoxing and others saw that the coach had abandoned everyone and fled for their lives, and they all surrendered one after another.

So in the first battle that day, more than 50,000 people of Chen Youliang's troops were captured, and countless people were killed and wounded. More than 10 giant ships and hundreds of warships were captured. For a long time, the problem of not having a regular water army, which gave Zhu Yuanzhang a headache, has also been solved.

This was the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang had fought head-on with a strong enemy since the uprising, and he won the battle. After that, Zhu Yuanzhang took over Taiping and occupied Xinzhou, Anqing and other places. Chen Youliang was forced to flee Jiujiang in defeat, hurt his vitality, and did not dare to fight rashly.
