The Battle of Longjiang has come to an end.

After the Jinling crisis, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the victorious side, got several benefits.

First of all, psychologically, after the Battle of Longjiang, Zhu Yuanzhang repositioned Chen Youliang, who was extremely jealous and even afraid of Chen Youliang in his heart, and was resolutely unwilling to provoke until he had to, before the Battle of Longjiang, he thought that Chen Youliang was a wolf cub who couldn't be provoked, and he was a super commodity who blew up like a plague god at a point, and he was a ruthless character who decisively did him with his current strength but couldn't afford to provoke. But after this battle, he had a new understanding of Chen Youliang.

This scum scum who used to be higher than the sky and can't be beaten away by snake poison in his own opinion, it turns out that he is not invincible and invincible in his imagination, he is also weak, and he can also be defeated by himself, and the idea that he has always been timid has disappeared after this war.

The second point is the real benefit, after the Battle of Longjiang, Chen Youliang's soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, although it did not hurt his vitality, but it could deal a hard blow to his arrogance and give him a fierce blow psychologically. As the victorious side, Zhu Yuanzhang accepted and surrendered generals in line with the basic principle of surrendering guns and not killing, and collected all the generals who were originally under the command of Chen Youliang and were defeated under his command, such as Zhang Zhixiong, Liang Xuan, Yu Guoxing, Liu Shiyan, etc., and harvested a large number of elite soldiers.

What made Zhu Yuanzhang even more pleased was that after the Battle of Longjiang, the decline that had been deeply inferior in the friction with Chen Youliang but still did not dare to provoke too much no longer existed today.

All of this is due to Chen Youliang's contributions.

Without Chen Youliang's full assistance, there would definitely not be today's earth-shaking changes.

Here I need to briefly talk about the resume of Zhang Zhixiong.

Name: Zhixiong Zhang;

Surname: Male;

Words: Renfu;

Address: Liangxian County, Luzhou;

Age: Unknown;

Parents: Unknown;

Identity: Former general under Zhao Pusheng.

Everyone should still remember Zhao Pusheng, he was the last general who held great power before Tianwan Kingdom went bankrupt, and he was also the last general of Tianwan Kingdom who was hammered to death by Chen Youliang.

After the fall of Zhao Pusheng, the army of Tianwan Kingdom, which was once divided into four parts, has all fallen into the hands of Chen Youliang, and Zhang Zhixiong is also one of them. I believe that according to Chen Youliang's various performances, Zhang Zhixiong had the idea of breaking away from Chen Youliang's clutches, but in the cloudy environment at that time, there would only be one result if he wanted to defect, that is: a dead end.

In the atmosphere of murder at that time, the escape of any one person would only be an end.

That is to repeat the mistakes of your own boss.

In their opinion, Chen Youliang, a scholar with a hazy smile, is an out-and-out executioner.

A person who dares to kill even his own boss will definitely not easily forgive a traitor who betrays him.

It was in this situation that Zhang Zhixiong chose to forbear, chose to temporarily give up his idea of defecting, and waited for a suitable time before choosing the opportunity to move.

Personally, I think that under Chen Youliang, there should be a lot of people like Zhang Zhixiong.

At the same time, from my personal point of view, it is not a wise choice for a person to expose too much of his personality weaknesses before the major event matures, which is also the most fundamental gap between Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang established the country, he also carried out the wanton killing of heroes and the forcible purge of hostile forces, and the methods and methods of slaughter were not inferior to Chen Youliang's in any way, but that was done when he had absolute rights and the hostile forces could not pose any threat to his personal regime.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not show the slightest habit of killing in the entrepreneurial stage before the founding of the People's Republic of China, which is why he was able to win over a large number of people to work for him.

Chen Youliang's approach is just the opposite.

On the surface, although Chen Youliang's Han regime is relatively stable, the practice of killing his top bosses one after another will not win the hearts of the people at all, let alone achieve great things.

Under the rule of this kind of personal authoritarianism, when everything is still unknown and the world has not yet formed a fixed number, what should be done is to read the ministers and open their voices widely, and by no means to block the advice behind closed doors, but the ministers under Chen Youliang dare not speak out, because none of them dare to guarantee that in the face of such a tyrant, such a person who even dares to kill his own master, which word will collide with him, once he provokes this evil star, he will only end up.

A tragic end of disrepute.

In such a gloomy situation, a regime with impetuous people's hearts is only a superficial and stable regime on the surface, and fundamentally its regime is broken and incomplete.

This is also the fundamental reason why I personally believe that Chen Youliang will be defeated.

In the Battle of Longjiang, at this once-in-a-lifetime moment, Zhang Zhixiong and other people who had long had no intention of fighting and had no intention of serving the Lord chose to defect.

From the perspective of human nature, the practices of Zhang Zhixiong and others cannot be said to be absolute traitors, if this kind of fault must be accumulated on a certain person, then Chen Youliang can only bear this black cauldron.

This situation can be said to be the bane planted by Chen Youliang himself.

It can also be said that the fiasco of the Battle of Longjiang Zhang Shicheng was not lost to Zhu Yuanzhang, but to be exact, Chen Youliang himself.

In this battle, Zhu Yuanzhang's side basically did not lose its soldiers and horses, and substantially improved the shortcomings of the ships, which he had always been dissatisfied with, and captured hundreds of Chen Youliang's warships, such as the Mixed River Dragon, the Saiduan River, the Knockdown Mountain, and the Jianghaiao, which Zhu Yuanzhang never expected.

The third point can be said to be an unexpected award given to Zhu Yuanzhang by Chen Youliang, a luxury gift that Zhu Yuanzhang never expected but also made Chen Youliang sad.

After Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang in Longjiang, because of Chen Youliang's perfect personal hegemonism and master-killing plot, the generals who originally surrendered to Chen Youliang saw that Chen Youliang was defeated and absconded, and they all asked to break away from Chen Youliang's hegemonic control and take the initiative to surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, who was the victorious side, did not intend to spare Chen Youliang.

Looking across the river at Chen Youliang, who was fleeing for his life like a rat, Zhu Yuanzhang stood at the bow of the boat with his eyes like a torch.

From now on, you Chen Youliang will no longer be my Zhu Yuanzhang's opponent, and from now on, I, Zhu Yuanzhang, will never be afraid of you Chen Youliang for half a point.

Chen Youliang, let you return to the mountain today, and you will be raised for trouble in the future.

I believe that Zhu Yuanzhang, as a soldier and an outstanding military strategist, must be convinced: To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself.

So after quickly cleaning up the battlefield, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order for an all-out pursuit of Chen Youliang.

And after the pursuit order was issued, a person first stood up and recommended a strategy to Zhu Yuanzhang: while pursuing Chen Youliang, he gathered heavy troops to attack Anqing, which was empty in defense.

Recommended reason: Chen Youliang led the troops to attack Longjiang this time all the soldiers and horses from Anqing, and the soldiers who surrendered today are also Anqing soldiers, and now Chen Youliang has been defeated and fled, and Anqing must have no one to defend. ["Ming Shilu": Friendship and forgiveness go east, and Anqing soldiers follow. Today's soldiers are all soldiers of Anqing, and friendship is defeated, and there is no defender in Anqing. 】

Recommendation requirements: As a recommended person, the only requirement is that he must participate in the pursuit of Chen Youliang in order to avenge the murder of his friend.

Recommended character: Zhang Zhixiong.

Faced with this information that could be given to him in vain, and in the face of the big man who had just surrendered to him but his hands were oozing blood and his eyes were on fire, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the commander-in-chief, seemed to have no choice.

Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it.

In order to weaken Chen Youliang's strength to the greatest extent, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to Zhang Zhixiong's request, on the one hand, he commanded others to attack Anqing, which was weak in defense, and on the other hand, he asked Xu Da and Feng Sheng to cooperate with Zhang Zhixiong by force.

In the face of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and in the face of the bandits who have long been unpleasant but helpless, Zhang Zhixiong, who has been completely crazy in his heart, has taught us the personality quality of being a madman, a nerd, and an almost violent person who has completely lost his mind.

If the heart is dead, why should the dead be afraid of it?

Facing Chen Youliang, a thug who has continuously killed the lord and risked the world's inaction, and facing the old master who has squeezed himself and can even be said to have enslaved him for several years, Zhang Zhixiong, who was already full of anger, launched an almost desperate pursuit against Chen Youliang, who had been defeated and fled, with the cooperation of Xu Da and Feng Sheng.

Chen Youliang first fled to Cihu, and in the face of Chen Youliang's large ships and horses intercepted here, Zhang Zhixiong lit the torch in his hand and burned all the other party's ships in the raging flames.

After the arson, Zhang Zhixiong broke through the opponent's already dilapidated blockade line, and once again led the crowd to pursue Chen Youliang's lair quarry.

Facing the soldiers and horses of the Zhu family who were biting him to the point of madness, facing Zhang Zhixiong, who had been his subordinate but completely lost his mind at the moment and rushed to the forefront, and facing this Zhang family kid who had killed red eyes and didn't talk about the old feelings at all, Zhang Shicheng was angry in his heart and scolded his mother in his mouth.

Zhang Zhixiong, I'll take your lungs.

You're a bastard who has no milk and is a father and a mother.

Uncle, I didn't owe you any money, and I didn't kill you, you took the wrong medicine today, and I chased after you.

Did I provoke you? You bite me so tightly.

You only met that bald donkey today, and he fed you some kind of rat medicine, so that you worked so hard for him.

In addition to the anger, Chen Youliang, who was angry and fearful, ordered his general Zhang Dingbian to lead the Han army and launch an equally fierce counterattack against Zhang Zhixiong, an army that had betrayed him.

It was in this almost anxious war situation that Zhang Zhixiong, who was only bent on revenge and simply seeking death, finally completed his short and almost brilliant life.

In the offensive crusade, Zhang Zhixiong confronted his old master head-on, faced his brother who used to cook together, until he died on the battlefield.

After Zhang Zhixiong died in battle, Xu Da and Feng Sheng, who were Zhu Yuanzhang's generals, did not make a truce.

Instead, he led the Zhu family army to beat Zhang Shicheng in five ways, successively captured Xinzhou, Chizhou, and Taiping, pursued them all the way to Anqing, and took Anqing in one fell swoop.

After Zhu Yuanzhang captured Anqing, in the face of the imposing Zhu Yuanzhang, some of the people who were originally forced to succumb to Chen Youliang's power saw that the formation was not right, and the people who completely belonged to the grass on both sides of the wall decided to turn against the water, defected from Chen Youliang's camp, and relied on the umbrella of Zhu Yuanzhang, a bald donkey who had not yet exploded.

This includes Hu Mei, who was born in Hubei, and Chen Youliang was a fellow countryman, and was the prime minister of Jiangxi Province at the time.

He was joined by a small but geographically important city: Hongdu City (present-day Nanchang, Jiangxi Province).

And behind the Hongdu City is Chen Youliang's real base camp, the latest city of the Han Dynasty to move the capital and set the capital: Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province).

Hongdu's unexpected surrender was unexpected by Zhu Yuanzhang, he really didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain in his ambush in Longwan, just like a pie in the sky and an opportunity to win an award, he naturally would not let go.

In order to show his intentions, but also to resolutely garrison the gate of Hongdu City, Zhu Yuanzhang vigorously praised Hu Mei and strategically relieved Hu Mei of military power, and sent his nephew Zhu Wenzheng to be promoted to the supreme commander of Hongdu City, in order to prevent accidents, Zhu Yuanzhang also sent the general Deng Yu and the general Zhao Desheng to go together to assist Zhu Yuanzhang in handling the military affairs of the city.

Zhu Wenzheng, everyone remember this person's name, because the extraordinary military ability he showed in the subsequent war is really admirable.
