The night wind shrouded the four fields, and outside Hanyang City, the fragrance of the Han army's food drifted to the head of the city along the wind.

Zhu Wu's Han army had already crossed the river, with more than 20,000 pioneers, and set up a large battalion in a defensive formation on the shore. A sturdy pontoon bridge leads from the shore to the other side of the river, to the Parrot Island in Wuchang.

The Han army attacked the city and never besieged. It has always been a point or a face of the city wall that has been concentrated and stormed.

In fact, there are a lot of Tianwan soldiers in Hanyang City, if they really have the courage to fight out of the city gate, the 20,000 people of the Han army may not be able to stay so safe outside the city.

But from the beginning to the end, there was no action on the walls of Hanyang except for guard.

In Emperor Xu's bedroom, Xu Shouhui, Zou Pusheng, and Ni Wenjun, three old guys, got together and muttered.

Speaking in private, Ni Wenjun's arrogant nature was exposed, and he said Lao Tzu directly in front of Xu Shouhui, the emperor.

"Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, we are almost 100,000 people, and we can't hold Hanyang." Ni Wenjun gritted his teeth and said, "There are many pockets, everyone has gone to the city, we don't dare to move, what kind of battle is this?" Go home and find your mother-in-law! ”

Xu Shouhui glared at him, "Then what do you say?" ”

"Go out of the city to fight, Lao Tzu will take people there!" Ni Wenjun said, "Lao Tzu took the cavalry as the vanguard and drove the Han army outside the city back to the river!" ”

"Brother, have you forgotten how those thousand people died during the day? Since Zhu Wu's people dare to camp under the city, they have to rely on it, and if they can't keep you out, they are falling for the tricks of others! Zou Pusheng sneered.

Xu Shouhui also spoke, "It's too reckless, be steady, and think long-term!" ”

"Huh!" Ni Wenjun sneered, "Since we started the army, when have you been stable?" We are rebellious, what are we safe? We don't want to die! ”

As he spoke, he looked at the contemplative Xu Shouhui and Zou Pusheng, and continued, "It's not okay to go out of the city to fight in the field, and there is no way to defend the city. Two masters, there are almost 100,000 people in our city, all waiting for us to call the shots? ”

"Can you stop for a moment?" Xu Shouhui roared, "Your brain makes you buzz, isn't this trying to figure out a way?" ”

"What's the solution? Is it to fight or defend, do you still need to think about these two items? Ni Wenjun was not afraid of him, and said loudly, "From Zhu Wu's soldiers to Wuchang, you have started to think about it, and you have always thought about it now." Deploy early, arrange early, why are you so passive now, 100,000 people are crowded here, and people are trapped! ”

"Your wife is yelling again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu chopped you?" Xu Shouhui roared.

The reason why the Tianwan army is in a dilemma now is the fault of them, the emperors and prime ministers.

On the same day, Hanyang was captured, and heavy troops were gathered, preparing to storm Wuchang. But I didn't expect Zhu Wu to be one step faster, one step at a time faster on the battlefield.

Tianwan Jun didn't have time to adjust at all, and he didn't even think about really fighting with Zhu Wu's people.

In fact, Zhu Wu made a first, in the chaotic times of Mengyuan and Yuan, there was no precedent for the rebels in the world to attack and annex each other.

Only Zhu Wu first beat his father-in-law, then annexed Zhu Chongba, and now cut the knife to Hubei.

It seems that in this world, except for him Zhu Wu, they are all enemies.

Ni Wenjun sneered, "Tsk, the emperor is so powerful." That being the case, the emperor and the prime minister think about it, Lao Tzu will not accompany him! After saying that, he left angrily.

"You!" Xu Shouhui was angry.

Zou Pusheng said, "Big brother, let him go." ”

In the early days of the uprising, Xu Shouhui was a cloth seller, and Zou Pusheng was a blacksmith, and the two were originally good brothers.

"I'll tell you the truth, I'm really out of ideas now!" Xu Shouhui said, "It was not easy to defeat the Yuan army, and now I have met Zhu Wu again, hey! ”

"Big brother, let's withdraw!" Zou Pusheng opened his mouth and said, "We are more than 100,000 people, the last family is the bottom, it's not worth fighting with Zhu Wu here!" ”

"But ......."

"I know that you are unwilling, but if you can fight, my brother will not persuade you to run. Look at the big ships with artillery on the river, and their firearms, do we have any hope of winning? Zou Pusheng said, "Let's stay here, he Zhu Wu can send two more if he dies, and if we die one, there will be one less."

An army of 100,000 people, why should it become a remnant of the defeated army. The world is so big, as long as there are soldiers, where can you go? Why fight for the moment? ”

Xu Shouhui was silent for a long time, "But, let's withdraw like this, what if we are caught up and bitten?" ”

"Let's secretly retreat!" Zou Pusheng said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Xu Shouhui understood.

100,000 people were guarding around this Hanyang City, and it was impossible to evacuate at the same time. In case of retreat, it was bitten by the Han army and the whole army was annihilated.

Therefore, leave some people to stick to their backs.

Only, who to keep?

Troubled times, betraying and being betrayed, are in the blink of an eye.

In fact, they all thought wrong, if they really retreated slowly step by step, Guo Xing would not catch up.

The world is so big that one person can't finish fighting. Zhu Wu didn't want to swallow all these days and expel them to harm the Yuan army, wouldn't it be better?

Xu Shouhui and Zou Pusheng looked at each other and smiled, as for who to betray, they already had an answer in their hearts.

We can share in adversity, but not prosperity. At this time, most of the heroes who were born in a reckless way are common to them, when they encounter problems, the way to think about things is too simple, just one word, death.

As long as people die, there are no contradictions. When the Tianwan Empire was facing the pursuit of the Yuan army, everyone could still unite as one.

But now, without the encirclement and suppression of the Yuan army, the situation in front of them suddenly became clearer, and everyone had soldiers in their hands, so they slowly had some careful thoughts.

However, there is a good saying, when you count others, others have already begun to count you.

Hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside, and Xu Shouhui's henchmen hurriedly came in, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister!" ”

"What's wrong?" Xu Shouhui had a bad premonition.

"Ni Wenjun went to the west of the city!"

To the west of the city is the battalion of Ni Wenjun's direct troops, with 30,000 days to complete the army.

"Say it!" Zou Pusheng said urgently.

"He's going to take people out of town!"

Xu Shouhui said angrily, "Lao Tzu told him that he is not allowed to go out of the city!" ”

Zou Pusheng said, "Big brother, he doesn't want to go out of the city, he wants to run!" ”

～～～～

Two days later, while having dinner with Old Man Xi, Zhu Wu received a battle report.

"Bloodless soldiers take Hanyang?"

Zhu Wu looked at the battle report sent by Guo Xing and was stunned.

There was infighting in the Tianwan army, Ni Wenjun led 30,000 people out of the city, and Xu Shouhui led the army to chase after him.

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides at the edge of the Han River, and the blue jade cavalry arrived, and the two sides retreated in formation.

Xu Shouhui's department went to Chuyang, and Ni Wenjun went to Qianjiang Tongxiazhou.

Zhang Bin, the defender of Hanyang, surrendered Kaicheng the next day, and had to surrender 5,000 troops.

"What a mess this is!" Zhu Wu was dumbfounded, thinking that it was a big battle, so he opened up his posture here, preparing for a thunderous blow.

On the other side, he was in chaos and fled.

Xu Shouhui is also a character, so unbearable?

If those handsome people fall off the scum, the eighteen-centimeter readers will see it, wouldn't it be a scolding.

Old man Xi, who was sitting opposite Zhu Wu, said with a smile, "There are no heroes when there are no heroes, so that the shaft becomes famous." For Meng Yuan, Xu Shouhui and they risked their lives to resist, and if they didn't resist, they would die.

Against you, they are reluctant to fight the old bottom, only to soldiers, where is not glory and wealth, why bother with you! ”

Zhu Wu smiled bitterly, "I know this, and I have counted it." But the GIs pressed the realm, and they actually..."

"What's so strange about this! You, still don't read much! Old man Xi took a sip of wine, "These reckless characters have always been virtuous, and it is not ashamed to be played to death by outsiders, but it is absolutely not okay to be played to death by their own people." ”

"I just think it's ridiculous!" Zhu Wu said with a smile.

"There's only one you in the world!" Old man Xi smiled, "People are like this, when they have nothing, they can let go, but once they have a choice, they become timid and hesitant." There are too many ridiculous things in this world, things that can't be imagined even if you break your head. ”

Zhu Wu did not read much, and in the original history, the freak of the Tianwan Empire was destroyed by internal strife.

Ni Wenjun wanted to replace Xu Shouhui, but he was exposed, and fled to Chen Youliang's territory with his soldiers and horses, who took the knife in his hand and used his head to ask for credit with Xu Shouhui.

Chen Youliang made a fortune from then on, and then Chen Youliang wantonly bought Xu Shouhui's henchmen, and when Xu Shouhui led his troops to move the capital, he ambushed soldiers and horses on both sides of the city gate.

killed all of Xu Shouhui's loyal ministers, and then hijacked Xu Shouhui, annexed the old department of Tianwan, and became the dominant family in the army.

After Xu Shouhui was useless, he was stoned to death with a hammer by Chen Youliang's personal soldiers.

The Tianwan Empire is a large grass platform team. Relying on desperate efforts and cults to rise in troubled times, but each of them has a ghost in their hearts, and it is inevitable that they will be defeated in the end.

And Zhu Wu's great Han, the strength is not all in the military, but after Zhu Wu captured Nanjing, he had perfect administrative institutions and decrees.

The Han Dynasty has never doubted each other, suspected each other, and the ministers are strong and the lords are weak.

Zhu Wu didn't know about these. However, the old man knows.

But the old man never said it, because history has changed beyond recognition because of Zhu Wu's appearance.

Besides, if you don't experience some things, how can you learn and grow?

"Little Wu, what do you do next?"

Zhu Wu put down the battle report in his hand, "Let Xiao San struggle in the Wuchang area, and after sweeping away the surrounding threats, wait for Fu Youde to turn around after fighting Jiangxi." ”

Saying that, Zhu Wu took a sip of wine, "At that time, attack Xiangyang!" ”
