Chapter Twenty-Three: The First General - Xu Da

Eating other people's food, drinking other people's wine, going out with the people who cleaned up the people, and finally turning around and occupying other people's cities, Zhang Tianyou's single transaction is indeed worth it, and he won Hezhou at almost zero cost, which can be described as full of profits.

On this side, Zhang Tianyou won a big victory when he was full of food and drink, but Geng Zaicheng on the other side did not have Zhang Tianyou's good luck.

was chased and beaten all the way by Timur first, and was driven for thirty miles like a dog, not to mention the loss of soldiers and armor, but also because of this hanging color, looking back and feeling ashamed.

This battle was really bad.

Where did this Tianyou go, could it be that the two chicken feathers were inserted to ascend to heaven?

There is at least a sound in fighting with people, and it will take a while for 3,000 people to fight against people, but I haven't seen anything unusual in Heyang City from beginning to end?

Is it true that you drink with people?

Then this is too evil!

Is this a war, or is it a worship?

I don't take my master in my eyes too much!

was originally planned according to the agreement, why did Zhang Tianyou suddenly disappear?

If you're missing, you'll be missing, and at least leave some news to let me know where you're old!

There are more than 10,000 people behind me waiting for your news?

It's good for you, you didn't say anything, you didn't let out any fart, and you let go of your master's plane, isn't this a slap in the face!

It's not a thing!

Zhang Tianyou, I remember you, don't let me see you again, otherwise you will have to beat you and don't even know your mother!

After Geng Zaicheng, who continued to greet Zhang Tianyou's ancestors for the eighteenth generation, returned to Chuyang, he was burdened with blood-red scars after winning the prize, and first went to meet the coach Guo Zixing as soon as he got off the horse.

After meeting the coach Guo Zixing, he carried the broken sword on his back and did not pull it out, as if he was reporting his exploits to Guo Zixing.

Boss, I'm back, I'm back with an injury.

Believe it or not, except for a few drops of blood that fell from my body, I brought back a single piece of parts.

Not only that, but I also brought you back an arrow, an iron arrow with broken hair!

Although it's just a broken arrow, it's a correct and conclusive piece of physical evidence, and there's an enemy signboard on it, so you can take it back and use it.

Turning the arrow can also clean up the Yuan army's group of grandsons.

In addition, I have to tell you the unfortunate news, which I am reluctant to say, but as your little brother, as the second-in-command of this war, I still have to inform you.

This news is not very important, it is...... Your waste brother-in-law, that uncompetitive thing was trapped, and he was encircled by the group of animals in Heyang, and he couldn't jump out.

He was also encircled by more than 3,000 of our brothers, none of whom lived or died.

First of all, I want to stand here and think about your solemn statement, boss, it's not that I don't save your brother-in-law, but there are too many people and horses in Heyang, and you can't bear the beating of others.

You see, the wound on my body is the color that was hung when I saved your brother-in-law.

This is bloody evidence!

You can't punish me for not saving your brother-in-law.

Otherwise, I will complain and complain that you are unfair and unfavorable.

As the commander-in-chief, Guo Zixing still loves Zhang Tianyou's brother-in-law very much, after all, his favorite second wife has been very strict recently, and the financial power has been pressed by her.

So I thought about him for any good thing, and the first credit for this plan was not given to my son, but to my brother-in-law.

has already given him enough face.

But I didn't expect that the originally very careful plan and very simple task allowed him to take the lead, take the lead, run a business smoothly, go on the same trip as a publicly-funded tour, and then smoothly promote the business of becoming a big official and making a fortune, and he could mess up the master.

It's so useless.

Waste is waste.

It's really mud that can't hold up the wall.

Although the person hung up, as his brother-in-law, Guo Zixing still wanted to express his heart, and in addition to being shocked and surprised, he wittily pushed the responsibility to others, saying that the reason why there was such a big mistake this time was completely a mistake in decision-making, and it had nothing to do with people's abilities.

Later, I heard that the army of Yuan soldiers pressed the border, and sent an envoy to surrender, facing the embarrassment of losing a general first, and then chasing the army, Guo Zixing seemed to be ready to escape, and he may have already packed up his bedding and belongings, and he may find that once the spearhead is wrong, he will immediately abandon everything and run away overnight.

Facing the menacing Yuan army, Guo Zixing took the lead in advocating surrender.

Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward to stop it and made a simple analysis.

The current Chuyang City has lost a large part of its soldiers and horses because of the death of Zhang Tianyou and the defeat of Geng Zaicheng, and now the garrison in the city is weak, if you will accept the surrender, they will definitely know the situation in your city, and they will definitely take advantage of our weakness to attack us.

Faced with a dilemma, Guo Zixing wittily continued to kick the ball to Zhu Yuanzhang and asked him to tell us about our next strategy.

Anyway, those who can work hard, you can help solve this little problem first.

Zhu Yuanzhang faced this problem and made the following actions:

First of all, an administrative order was issued, summoning the envoys, and issuing an order to mobilize all the troops of the other three gates in Chuyang City to the south gate to fill the streets, and then open the south gate and let the envoys enter the city. After the envoy entered the city gate, he asked in a strong tone to come and kneel to meet Guo Zixing.

The countermeasures were well developed, but things went along a predetermined route.

But at this time, a person's performance allows us to fully see the outstanding personality that can only be shown by waste and stupidity, in the face of the arrival of the envoy of the Yuan army, Guo Zixing, as the commander-in-chief, does not seem to have seen such a big battle, and in the case of the answer, Guo Zixing has made many mistakes in a row.

Under the continuous mistakes, Guo Zixing, who was born in a reckless man, finally lost the patience to continue to disguise, and he peeled off the sheepskin to disguise himself, revealing the appearance of a jackal.

In order to avoid undue slander and damage to his glorious and great positive image, he prepared to kill the messenger.

At this time, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who stood up first to stop it, and directly refuted it.

The two armies are at war, and they do not kill them.

If you kill the envoy now, it will be tantamount to telling the enemy that we are now empty in the city, if we really kill him, not only will it not have a good effect, but it will make the Yuan army attack us more quickly, it is better to let him go back now, and threaten that if you dare to come and fight us, you will definitely have no return.

Guo Zixing, who has always relied on fighting and has no scheming, listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion.

In the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's famous shock and intimidation, the Yuan army believed it and withdrew his troops with great interest.

After the Yuan army retreated, although Guo Zixing and others breathed a sigh of relief, they still frowned.

Although the Yuan army withdrew its troops, the problem at the beginning was still not solved, and the grain and grass crisis in Chuyang was not resolved at all.

In the face of this huge problem, everyone's goal is to refocus on one place.

The place is not far away.

Its name is still the same: Heyang.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have deprived Guo Zixing of his military power, and appointed Xu Da as the main general and Li Shanchang as the operational staff officer to lead the whole army to attack Heyang.

This is also the first time we have seen Xu Da lead troops to fight in the history books, and this also allows us to see an extraordinary character - Xu Da.

Name: Da Xu;

Font size: Tiande;

Ethnicity: Han Chinese;

Born: 1332;

Main achievements: the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty;

Nicknames: General of the Expedition;

Place of birth: Zhongli Yongfeng Township, Haozhou (now Fengyang, Anhui);

Died: 1385;

Title: Duke of Wei;

Xu Da, the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a famous military strategist, politician, strategist, excellent military commander, a famous national hero, Zhu Yuanzhang's playmate since childhood, can be said to have opened a file with Zhu Yuanzhang, fought together, let go of sheep together, and played hooligan little brother.

Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world together, fight in many corners of the Central Plains, famous in the Northern Expedition, appointed as the general of the captivation, the highest official to the right prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and later was named the Duke of Wei, and made immortal contributions to the overthrow of the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty.

After his death, he was posthumously as: King of Zhongshan.

Life ideal: expel Hulu and restore China.

Main achievements: led the division to the east, led the army to the Northern Expedition; Conquer the Northern Yuan Dynasty and unify China.

Here I give my personal assessment of him.

My personal evaluation of Xu Da in terms of personality is: diligent and low-key, cautious and indisputable.

My personal evaluation of Xu Da in military affairs is: far-sighted, handsome and prodigy.

Comprehensive Comments: The will of steel, the arms of iron, the abyss of death, unstoppable. Mountains and rivers, battlefield battles, battlefield soaring, eagles also die.

One word evaluation: strong!

Two-word evaluation: tough!

Four-word evaluation: First general!

I think there are only a few people who are as famous as Xu Da in history: one is He Ruobi, the Duke of the Song Kingdom, and the other is Han Xin, the king of Qi during the Liu Bang regime of the Western Han Dynasty.

As the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Heyang really couldn't show his outstanding military talent, so we will talk about his superb military talent and performance later.

On the way to attack Heyang, Geng Zaicheng's soldiers and horses, who were originally scattered by the Yuan army, rushed to the team when they heard the news, and joined the team again, and finally gathered a total of 3,000 men and horses, and drove to the outside of Heyang City, ready to launch an order to attack the city in one fell swoop.

As the first general of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da did not recklessly take these 3,000 men and horses to directly hit the muzzle, but moved to Yangguan in South Vietnam, and then ordered everyone to rest in place. When it was dusk, he asked everyone to line up, and let everyone hold ten torches, and made a military order, asking everyone to hold their breath and use it as a suspicious soldier.

Subsequently, Xu Da led the chief of staff Li Shanchang and the remaining more than a dozen Jiao Yong generals to approach Heyang City to investigate the enemy's situation.

When Xu Da came in the evening, he learned that Zhang Tianyou had taken Heyang City.

It turned out that an absolutely classic battle of Heyang collapsed.

Although the battle with Yang did not start, I still wanted to really see how Xu Da, as the coach, would command the first battle of his life.

With both resourcefulness and courage gathered together, Xu Da's strategy for the Battle of Heyang must be extraordinary.

After learning that Heyang City had already been taken, Xu Da led the crowd into Heyang City.

and quickly notified Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

The crisis of grain and grass in Chuyang City was also lifted.
