Chapter 61: A Thankless Deal
Looking at the scribbled distress document in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was the protagonist of the letter, also trembled, his head was confused, he hated his heart and scolded his mother.
Zhang Shicheng, you mountain cannon.
You scum who steals people and doesn't leave people alive.
This kind of robbery can be done, you Zhang Shicheng is really not a thing.
When did you say that you didn't do it well, why didn't you fight when Han Lin'er was in Bianliang, why did you have to wait for Han Lin'er to be under the nose of the uncle.
Aren't you embarrassing me by doing this?
I'm sending troops now, let alone sending troops, and it's not right for you to do this!
If I don't send troops to relieve the siege, everyone will definitely say that I am not benevolent and righteous as a courtier, and I am indifferent to see my boss in a difficult situation, and in the future, everyone will inevitably poke my back and scold me for being a villain and not morality, which will inevitably affect my political reputation and political future in the future.
However, once the troops are sent to break the siege, the real enemy Chen Youliang will inevitably take the opportunity to press head-on, and the fighter plane that he has just turned passive into active will inevitably collapse in an instant, which will affect my military foundation.
Should troops be sent to relieve the siege?
What should I do?
Faced with a dilemma, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a sore head and a dazed head, had no clue, and at this time he had gotten rid of Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already gotten rid of the tip of the bull's horns, and he found Liu Ji with the shame of asking questions and always looking for someone to help, hoping that he could solve the problem and give him some guidance.
As an absolute minister, Liu Ji's reply is also very simple: If you are full, what does that grandson do, whether he is dead or alive has a half-dime relationship with us.
Could it be that you still want to save him and continue to be his emperor as your own boss? If that's the case, what's the difference between hanging a knife around your neck and dying too slowly?
In Liu Ji's opinion, letting Han Lin'er and Liu Futong die under Zhang Shicheng's knife is the best ending, anyway, whether they die or not has little to do with us. But if we go to save them, it will inevitably cause an emptiness in our rear, and when the time comes, Chen Youliang, the bastard, will inevitably take the opportunity to attack us, and then it will not be them but us who will be passive.
Liu Ji's attitude is very clear and resolute.
In the face of Liu Ji's proposal, Zhu Yuanzhang once again made a difficulty.
For Han Lin'er, his attitude from the bottom of his heart is to admit the existence of this boss, at least he still admits it now, after all, his own start and the gradual expansion of the dragon and phoenix regime have played an indelible role in it, and it is necessary and natural to send troops to relieve the siege from this point of view.
And now his career is still in the development stage, at this time it is irrational to expose his inauthentic character flaws prematurely, and recently he and Chen Youliang, the deflated calf, are gradually decreasing, Chen Youliang should not copy himself at this time.
Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was lucky, still issued a decision to face the battle, rejecting the defendant Liu Ji's suggestion, upholding the original verdict, and sending troops to relieve the siege of Anfeng.
After determining the military goal, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the king of the absolute mountain, issued a military order:
Ordered Xu Da, the right prime minister of Zhongshu Province, to lead the vanguard troops to relieve the siege of Anfeng, and at the same time ordered Chang Yuchun, who was the governor of the province, to assist Xu Da in handling military affairs as the left general, after determining the military route, in order to be a courtier of the dragon and phoenix regime, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to personally supervise the battle, rescue Han Lin'er, and talk about his loyalty and sincerity as a courtier.
……
The main battlefield, Anfeng (now Shou County, Anhui);
At this time, the main general who led the army to besiege Anfeng was named: Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen, a hardcore subordinate of the smuggler Zhang Shicheng, personally participated in Zhang Shicheng's initial rebellion, and was a member of the organization in the "Eighteen Biandan" uprising in Baijuchang, it can be said that he has participated in it since Zhang Shicheng plotted the rebellion, and is a die-hard fan of Zhang Shicheng.
At this time, Lu Zhen, as the siege coach, had already taken the lead on the Anfeng battlefield.
The opportunity is mainly manifested in two aspects:
First of all, when Lu Zhen frantically attacked Anfeng, Liu Futong, who was the actual controller of the army of the Longfeng regime, unfortunately died in battle while organizing the defense.
Secondly, with Liu Futong's sudden death, the defenders who had no intention of fighting became more and more decadent, and Han Lin'er, who was actually a puppet of the Dragon and Phoenix Emperor, had no combat experience at all, let alone leadership, he could say that nothing could be said except for sitting on the dragon chair and drinking five and six, in this situation that can be said to be extremely critical, the Zhang family army led by Lu Zhen broke through the main city of Anfeng.
With the main city being breached, Lu Zhen ordered people to set up a fence around the city wall, and dispatched both land and water armies to strategically besiege the city, and wanted to annihilate all the defenders in the city under a two-pronged situation.
At this time, Lu Zhen estimated that he would report an idea, that is: even a mouse wants to escape from here alive.
It was at this time that Lu Zhen, who originally thought that the victory was in his hands and was playing, suddenly heard his younger brother say that a group of people suddenly appeared in the rear of the army at some point, a group of animals that seemed to be horses, not donkeys, cows, horses, disorderly but prosperous, and the number of people in the formation was not a few, and when he saw that the guy who copied his hand should belong to the regular army, Lu Zhen's hair was chilling.
Where did this herd of animals come from?
Didn't the boss say that there would be no reinforcements when he was about to go out?
Didn't it make me open to play, let go of drying, play with my life, and never leave any troubles?
So where did these deflated mistresses come from?
Could it be that you are here to support yourself?
No, I haven't heard a letter from the boss saying that someone has been sent to support, not to mention that there is no need for any support here now.
Now that I can cover the field here, where do I need any help?
Could it be that some bastard saw that there was a free cake to eat, and he wanted to steal business with his uncle to make ready-made benefits?
But when this group of people had already come forward and were completely on a posture and ready to make a big move, Lu Zhen found that he was wrong, and it was a big mistake.
Because what appeared on the opposite side was a character he least wanted to see, a bald monk with a bright head and a shoe-filled face with a pig's waist in his eyes, and a gentle and elegant person who appeared next to him at the same time, a tiger with a bear waist like a bear blind man with two extreme figures.
Although they had often dealt with each other before, today was the first time they had met, and Lu Zhen, who had not met but seemed to be familiar with each other, was really impressed by these three people, and from the moment they appeared, he concluded that there would inevitably be a fierce battle today.
Therefore, he decisively ordered to abandon the encirclement and suppression of the remaining enemy in the city, and to fight against the invading army with all his might, and at the same time ordered people to hurry up 600 li, and asked for military assistance from Zuo Junbi, who was recently located in Luzhou (now Hefei, Anhui).
The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.
Facing Zhang Shicheng's troops in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang hated it from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't wait to clean up the group of deflated people in front of him immediately, so after arriving at the battlefield, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly issued a military order to attack Lu Zhen's troops to cut off the communication between the opponent's vanguard troops and the follow-up troops, and then break them one by one, and finally clean them up one by one.
As an absolutely hostile force, Lu Zhen also seemed to see the other party's arrogance, and even more saw the other party's strategic deployment intentions, so after reluctantly organizing three decent resistances, and feeling that he could make a perfect deal after completing the task and returning with merit, Lu Zhen ordered his troops to evacuate and escape from Anfeng, the land of right and wrong.
Where there is life, there is hope.
Anfeng, a broken place where birds don't poop and chickens don't lay eggs, it's better to evacuate as soon as possible, otherwise instead of making others into buns, others will make dumplings.
That's a big loss.
Therefore, when Lu Zhen, who has lofty ambitions and grand ideals, found that the situation was a little out of control, he made a political decision to smear oil on the soles of his feet and go ahead when he realized that the situation was a little out of control.
It doesn't matter if others are dead or alive, as long as you live, it is the greatest victory in life.
But at this time, Zuo Junbi, who was not far away in Luzhou, had just received Lu Zhen's request for military assistance, and Zuo Junbi, who was completely unaware of the Anfeng War, in order to support friendly troops well, and in order to express his strategic feelings of friendship with his family, he decided to lead his troops to strategically attack Zhu Yuanzhang's troops.
What Zuo Junbi didn't expect was that before his team could reach Anfeng, he met the Zhu family's army, who had already prepared and had opened a posture and was only waiting for his army to enter the nest.
In this unguarded resistance, Zuo Junbi, who originally held Zuo Junbi, who slipped away if he could save it, was ruthlessly cleaned up by the other party.
Zuo Junbi, who had already been beaten and his head was dazed and his body was wooden, only then did he receive a notice that Lu Zhen had escaped from Anfeng and landed safely, and Zuo Junbi, who was on fire in his eyes, must have scolded his mother in his heart.
While feeling angry in his heart, Zuo Junbi, who was a support force, asked Lu Zhen's relatives and friends fiercely, and by the way, he visited Lu Zhen's ancestors for eighteen generations.
How did your Lu family educate people, and how did you educate Lu Zhen, the best in the world.
He personally came forward to ask his friends for help, but when he helped himself, he let go of the girl first.
What is this approach?
It's not a bit more authentic.
What is the difference between this and inviting others to visit the kiln, having a good time, having a good time, having a good heart, drinking and eating, and finally patting the ass and leaving, and letting others pay for the bill!
The surname is Lu, and you can be regarded as remembering you today.
You bastard, you'll remember you for the rest of your life.
You'd better die in front of me, otherwise you will have to beat you so hard that your seven aunts and eight aunts won't be able to recognize you.
After driving out Lu Zhen and clearing Zuo Junbi's reinforcements, the Anfeng crisis, which was originally in danger, was completely lifted.
As a real hero, Zhu Yuanzhang, who is like a savior, perfectly resolved An Feng's crisis and rescued his current boss.
The current leader of the Longfeng regime, the Longfeng Emperor: Han Lin'er.
After rescuing Han Lin'er, one of the biggest problems appeared in front of him.
This problem was also experienced in Chuzhou many years ago, and what happened today seems to be familiar with the experience of the past.
A few years ago, in Chuzhou, I was unable to put down my ears because my ears were soft, so I agreed to my father-in-law Guo Zixing to stay in Chuzhou City, and at the same time handed over his military power to his father-in-law with all the men and horses, but the final result was to lose his wife and break his army, and was used as a donkey by his father-in-law's pole and brother-in-law.
It can be said that he did his best and did his best.
In the end, it was thankless.
That kind of stubborn bones, gritted teeth, suffered hardships, and suffered humiliation now feels like a wreck.
This kind of thankless business like a bad guy is enough to do it once, and I don't want to do it again in this life and will not do it a second time.
So with the experience of the past, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had rescued Han Lin'er from fire and water, seemed to be prepared before rescuing An Feng, and ordered someone to send him to the place where he started after rescuing Han Lin'er.
Chuzhou, continue to be his dragon and phoenix emperor.
After sending Han Lin'er away, a terrible news came from the rear.
After this news came, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally calm, panicked instantly, he didn't expect Liu Ji's seemingly ordinary joke to come true, and the speed and strength of the other party's troops were far beyond what he thought.
The news is: Taking advantage of the emptiness in Zhu Yuanzhang's rear, Chen Youliang raised an army of the whole country to attack Hongdu.
