Chapter 1577: The Great War of the Central Plains Breaks Out
Just when Li Jing was finalizing the strategy of striking first and breaking them one by one, Zhu Tianpeng of Qi was also having a heated discussion about sending troops to Beihai.
Qi State, in the main hall of the Qi Palace, Zhu Tianpeng sat on the throne, Wang Xianzhi, Huang Kui, Wang Yanzhang, Wang Yantong, Pang Shigu, Ge Congzhou, Jing Yanguang, Yang Shihou, Zhu Zhen, Fu Daozhao, Xia Luqi, Zhu Youzhen and other civil and military ministers stood on both sides.
"Lord, do you really want to unite with the Northern Han Dynasty to deal with Li Jing?"
Xia Luqi stood up and asked puzzledly: "Then when Wang Mang came to ask for cooperation, why did you refuse, lord?" ”
"One time, another time."
A trace of solemnity flashed in Zhu Tianpeng's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "When the Anti-Qin Alliance was first established, the battle situation in Jizhou was not yet clear, I thought that after the establishment of the Northern Han Dynasty, it could block the offensive of the Qin army, but I didn't want even if Han Xin was in charge of the army, it would still be suppressed by Bai Qi.
If you don't give support to the Northern Han, once you sit back and watch Han Xin defeat, the Qin army will definitely sweep through Hebei sooner or later, and there will be no eggs under the nest, and then we will definitely not let go of our Qi country, so it is inevitable to help Han and resist Qin. ”
Hearing Zhu Tianpeng say this, all the generals present showed their expressions, and even Huang Kuo, who was not very smart, suddenly realized.
Huang Kuo is Huang Chao's younger brother, but his brother Huang Chao chose an alien as his successor, at first he was extremely dissatisfied with this, but gradually he also understood his brother's hard work, he is not the material to be the king, even if he really forcibly becomes the king of Qi, he will be kicked down sooner or later, and Zhu Tianpeng is much stronger than him in all aspects, and he is obviously more suitable than him to be the king of Qi.
"Big brother, this is the reason why you chose Zhu Tianpeng."
Huang Kui secretly said in his heart, but what he didn't know was that Huang Chao chose Zhu Tianpeng just because Zhu Tianpeng was a faithful believer in Daming.
Zhu Tianpeng said a few more words, and basically decided on the matter of sending troops, but at this moment, Zhu Youzhen stood up and said: "But my lord, if you send troops to Beihai at this time, what will Zhu Ming do over there?" ”
Zhu Tianpeng can become the king of Qi, Zhu Yuanzhang is not really not helpful at all, Zhu Youzhen, who is also a relative of the Zhu family, was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to help Zhu Tianpeng.
Zhu Youzhen, whose name is Deyue, ascended the throne and was named Chongzhen, was the sixteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty as a unified national regime.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is undoubtedly a good emperor, during his reign, vigorously eradicate the eunuch party, diligent in political affairs, strict thrift, redress of wrongs, but due to the endless struggle of the imperial court, civil disasters, peasant uprisings in the region continue to break out, the Jin regime outside the border took advantage of the rise of the situation, the country has been in a situation of internal and external troubles, so no matter how hard Chongzhen tried the Ming Dynasty eventually died.
Zhu Youzhen in this life is Zhu Yuanzhang's clansman, but he has become Zhu Di's uncle, he can be sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to help Zhu Tianpeng, which shows that his loyalty can definitely be tested.
It's just that now even Zhu Yuanzhang is gone, so Zhu Youzhen, like Zhu Tianpeng, is extremely confused in his heart and doesn't know what to be loyal to.
However, Zhu Youzhen is Zhu Di's uncle after all, how can he look at his brother's heir, and he was bullied by the Tiger Wolf Gate in the Central Plains like this, so he couldn't help but remind Zhu Tianpeng.
After hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Zhu Tianpeng couldn't help but be silent, of course he knew that his nephew Zhu Di was having a hard time.
Zhu Di sent troops to crusade against the rebellious Xue Ju, and although Xue Ju had Zhang Liang's support behind him, he did not trust Shangguan Haitang, although he was defeated repeatedly.
Only in the first battle, under the personal command of Zhu Di, Guan Yu defeated Xue Ju's father and son, and beheaded three generals of the Xue army, and later killed Xue Guyan, the general of the Xue army.
After that, Fan Zeng set up an ambush, broke Xue Ju again, and persuaded many Xue army soldiers to surrender, so far only one-third of Xue Ju's army remained, and basically only the power of dying and struggling remained.
Although Xue Ju had never returned to heaven, he was unwilling to be defeated, and was forced to be ruthless, so he directly took refuge in Cao Cao.
Seeing Zhu Ming's infighting, Cao Cao had already been rubbing his hands on the side, seeing that Xue Ju was no longer good, and was about to send troops, but he didn't want Xue Ju to take the initiative to take refuge, how could Cao Cao not accept it.
Cao Cao of Wei, Xue Ju, raised 100,000 troops, and attacked Xuzhou in a big way.
At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin of the Song State also raised 80,000 troops to attack Jianghuai.
For a time, the decisive battle of the Central Plains broke out completely, and Zhu Ming fell into the siege of Cao Cao, Zhao Kuangyin, Sun Jian, and Huang Zu, and the form can be said to be extremely dangerous.
Zhu Ming's country can be described as full of disasters and difficulties, and there was a Xue Ju rebellion when he saw it, and Zhu Di also needed to resist Sun Jian and Huang Zu while suppressing the Xue Ju rebellion, and now Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin have joined in, and Zhu Ming's family alone is naturally a little weak.
Zhu Di also knew that if there was no external force to intervene, Zhu Ming alone would probably really destroy the country in the north, and now the only person he could ask for help was Zhu Tianpeng, so he could only ask his uncle Zhu Tianpeng for help with a cheeky face.
To be honest, Zhu Tianpeng was a little disappointed in Zhu Di, but what he didn't know was that Zhu Di couldn't be blamed for this, if it weren't for Zhang Liang doing things behind his back, Xue Ju would still be unable to stop Zhu Di.
The game between Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang finally cheapened Cao Cao in vain, obviously he didn't do anything, but he subdued Xue Ju, Xue Rengao, Xue Andu, the three generals, and nearly 10,000 troops, which can be described as an example of profiteering.
Although Zhu Tianpeng was a little disappointed in Zhu Di, Daming was his faith that he would never shake in his life, and Zhu Minghe was the only remaining place of sustenance for his faith, so it was naturally impossible to watch Zhu Di be destroyed.
Now there are two roads in front of Zhu Tianpeng, one is to send troops to Beihai, and the other is to rescue Xuzhou.
"If Xuzhou wants to be saved, Beihai must also fight."
Zhu Tianpeng's eyes were full of perseverance, and then he said sonorously: "Where is Fu Daozhao?" ”
Fu Daozhao, a famous general in the late Tang Dynasty and early Liang, once served as the commander of Shence, and later served as Liang Xiang, a general, and an envoy of Qinzhou Jiedu.
In just a few sentences, it can be seen that Fu Daozhao is a general who is both civil and military, after all, there are several generals in this world who can enter and exit the phase, and Fu Daozhao is just one of them.
Fu Daozhao is one of the teams left by Huang Chao to Zhu Tianpeng, and he is also a veteran left over from the Yellow Turban period, and he strongly agrees with Daming, and is the best person to rescue Xuzhou this time.
After hearing Zhu Tianpeng's call, Fu Daozhao immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "The end will be." ”
"Now I order you to lead 50,000 troops and go to the aid of Xuzhou, there must be no mistake."
"No."
"Remember, after arriving in Xuzhou, you must listen to Mr. Fan Zeng in everything."
Hearing Zhu Tianpeng's words, Fu Daozhao couldn't help but be stunned, and then said in a deep voice: "No." ”
Although Qingzhou is not as rich as Jizhou, Qi can account for half of Qingzhou, so the total number of troops in the country is also 130,000.
Now Zhu Tianpeng is about to fight against the Qin army, and at the same time, he also sent 50,000 troops to save Xuzhou at once, which shows how heavy Zhu Ming's status is in him.
