Chapter 278: Military Intelligence

Wang Guangyang is really getting more and more likable, and his ability is actually not weak, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would not have deliberately transferred him back to be promoted to Zuo Prime Minister, the key factor in his defeat to Yang Xian was that Zhu Yuanzhang hoped that Yang Xian would win.

Now he has been sharpened into a good gentleman, and I don't know if it's good or bad, but Zhu Biao still appreciates it, at least he knows awe, and people can only go long with awe.

After making an appointment to discuss things together in the afternoon, Zhu Biao personally sent Wang Guangyang out of the Fengtian Palace, and after he bowed down and retreated with a thousand thanks, Zhu Biao held his waist and looked into the distance, noticing a somewhat rickety figure.

Liu Bowen is already so old, Zhu Biao has not paid attention to him for a long time, since he broke with Yang Xian, Liu Bowen has been outside the center, rarely involved in court politics, maybe this smart man has seen through the future of many people, and it is precisely because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang was imprisoned in this capital, begging to retreat.

Zhu Biao turned around and went back after a few glances, today's chapter was also sent, he still had to finish reading it as soon as possible, and then go to Zhongshu Province to discuss it with Wang Guangyang, presumably many officials are nervous, after all, every change will affect many people's careers.

After returning to the imperial study, it took more than an hour to review today's recital, and now the recital is much better, all of which are dry goods at a glance, and there are many trivial matters, which are very decided.

Zhu Biao had just asked people to send the approved chapter to Lao Zhu, and was about to go out to Zhongshu Province, but he was stopped by Shangshu of the Ministry of War: "Your Highness, where is the saint?" There was an urgent report of the military situation in the southwest for six hundred miles, and there was also a handwritten letter from Mingsheng, the lord of the Xia Kingdom, who was now in urgent need of a holy decision. ”

When Zhu Biao heard this, he hurriedly led him towards the Jinshen Palace: "Looking at Shangshu's face, it should be good news, Tang He has crossed the river?" Or did Fu Youde attack the advanced state? ”

The military department Shangshu walked a little breathing all the way, and when he heard Zhu Biao's words, he gasped a few times and said: "Your Highness Mingjian, although Tang Shuai is still blocked by the river, Liao Yongzhong, the Marquis of Deqing, has conquered Qutang Pass in front of him, opened up the road ahead, and Tang Shuai can also go straight to Kuifu." ”

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "The land of Bashu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if we can attack the hinterland as soon as possible, it is expected that the battle will end within a month by relying on the majestic momentum, so that I can save a lot of grain and grass." ”

Hearing this, the military department Shangshu smiled and said: "Your Highness is wrong, Deqing is fast enough, but Yingguo Gong is faster, and he has even broken Jiezhou, Wenzhou, Hanzhou, and entered Chengdu, and the defenders in other places are also looking at the wind, and the old minister thinks that the good news of the destruction of Xia Guo is also on the way at this time." ”

Zhu Biao couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, just when he arrived at the Jinshen Palace, the military department Shangshu Jin submitted an urgent report on the military situation, and there was a letter of peace written by Mingsheng himself earlier.

Zhu Yuanzhang read the emergency report with a flat face, and as for Mingsheng's letter, he didn't bother to open it, and then looked at Zhu Biao and said: "It's not a matter of time before you win, as for being so happy?" ”

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Victory is a trivial matter, but it is too happy to be able to win before the autumn harvest, today Qingyang Mansion and Pingliang Mansion have come to report, there has been no rain in its territory for two consecutive months, and I am afraid that the imperial court will need relief in the autumn and winter, and it is naturally good to save grain and grass now." ”

The military department Shangshu on the side sighed: "It is a blessing for the country that His Royal Highness loves the people like a son. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and turned his head to the military department Shangshu to give a few words, his judgment is the same, the good news of a complete victory should be on the way, the imperial court must now prepare some high-ranking officials to take over the Bashu Prefecture Mansion, and it is necessary to do a good job in reassuring the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang hoped that what he could accept was a rich country of abundance, not another ruined wall, so he ordered Zhongshu Province to immediately formulate a plan, and the officials of the six ministries cooperated.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was arranging affairs, Zhu Biao also looked through the military emergency report sent by the southwest, it turned out that Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, was ordered to capture the former general that day, and parted ways with Tang He, the general of the expedition to the west, Tang He led Liao Yongzhong and others to attack Qutang by boat, and Fu Youde led Gu Shi and others to ride out of Longxi on foot.

After arriving at the place, he summoned all the troops and declared that the troops would go out of the Golden Bull, but secretly led the army to Chencang, climbed the rocks, marched day and night, arrived at Jiezhou, defeated the Xia general Ding Shizhen, and conquered the city.

After the defeat of the local defenders, the Bailongjiang Bridge was broken, hoping to suspend the advance of Fu Youde's army, but Fu Youde repaired the bridge and crossed the river overnight, broke through the Wuli Pass, and entered Wenzhou.

Then cross the Baishui River, straight to Mianzhou, when the Han River rose, can not cross the river, so I thought of a plan to attack the heart, then cut into thousands of wooden cards, the date of conquering the steps, Wen, Mian engraved, put into the Han River, let them go downstream, Xia Bing saw this natural army heart chaos, Fu Youde took many cities and entered Chengdu in one go.

Zhu Biao was delighted to see it, brave and resourceful, worthy of being the first general of the Ming Dynasty, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang after putting down the report: "This battle is headed by Yingguo Gong, and my father should be vigorously rewarded." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little helpless when he heard this, he originally wanted Tang He to make a great contribution, and the road he chose was far easier to fight than Fu Youde's, but he was blocked by the soaring river.

But fortunately, Tang He is the commander of the army in the end, and the merits of his subordinates are also his merits, so it is enough to restore the duke of the country, and the rest of the people will not say anything, so naturally Fu Youde has to be rewarded.

It's just that it's really not good to be promoted when they all go to the country, Zhu Biao reminded: "Li Shanchang has been promoted to the crown prince and master, and the position of the prince and young master can also be used as a reward." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded after hearing this and said, "It seems that you still like the Fu family, don't you always use that kid as a parent?" ”

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Even if you are suspicious like Cao Cao, you like Dian Wei Xu Chu, and Erchen naturally likes honest generals." ”

After a while, Wang Guangyang and Hu Weiyong led the chief officials of the six departments in, and after saluting, they began to discuss who should be sent to preside over the overall situation.

Bashu has just been pacified, and the people in it must be panicked, and the civil officials with prestige and ability to appease are basically here, but they are also a radish and a pit, they went to Bashu, and the pit they left behind could not find a suitable person to fill.

When Yang Xian died, many people were implicated, and the civil officials in eastern Zhejiang suffered heavy injuries, and even if they didn't die, they were relegated to the local government, not to mention that now they have to rectify the official office yamen.

Zhu Biao said after listening for a while: "It's better to let the sincerity wait for Liu Bowen to go, this person's prestige and ability are enough to appease the people of Bashu, and presumably by next year the tax will be collected normally." ”

The rest of the people didn't speak when they heard this, everyone knew Liu Bowen's ability, but everyone also knew that the saint didn't want Liu Bowen to leave Beijing, so no one dared to take the initiative to recommend him.

Zhu Yuanzhang basically frowned subconsciously, and for some reason he just didn't like Liu Bowen, even more so after the founding of the country, and he didn't feel at ease if he didn't put him under his nose.
