On June 23, the twentieth year of Zhizheng, that is, in 1360 AD, Chen Youliang led his Han army down the Qinhuai River and finally reached the Longjiang River.

Came to this place that fascinated him and drove him crazy.

Behind the Jiangdong Bridge is the ancient city that has been sacred to several generations of kings - Jinling.

There are water veins coiled outside, mountains and rivers towering inside, between the tiger and the dragon, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, the emperor's breath is fully displayed, such a good place except for my Han Emperor, what other place is more suitable for me to sit?

Without!

You can't find a better place to be.

After today, this will be my place.

From now on, this is the imperial capital of my Chen Youliang.

The ancient capital of Jinling, from today onwards, the history of this brilliant ancient city will write a unique stroke that belongs to my Chen Youliang.

Full of excitement, full of excitement, full of apprehension, and at the same time of uncontrollable excitement in his heart, Chen Youliang ordered people to find the Jiangdong Bridge that the letter referred to like a roadblock.

Under the faint moonlight, the huge iron body of the boat slowly moved along with the bamboo raft, the aquatic plants fluttered between the rippling waters, and a bridge stood in the middle of the lake on the water in the distance.

The sound of the wind, the sound of the water, the sound of the wave, the ripple of the microwave,

In the heart of the lake, the fighting spirit is high!

When he saw the bridge that was faintly visible in the lake, and when he saw the reflection of the bridge head floating on the water, Chen Youliang ordered people to speed up the rowing speed.

At the same time, under the white light of the moonlight and a silent silence, Chen Youliang, who couldn't help but be excited, exhaled the contact code they had already agreed on in advance.

Lao Kang!

The silent water did not answer anything except for a few waves.

Lao Kang!

Except for a few echoes in the humid air, there was still no response.

Lao Kang!

Under the moonlight, in the light, with the surprise in his heart, Chen Youliang, who had been swearing to the truth, finally saw the true structure of the bridge after arriving near the Jiangdong Bridge.

Where is this a wooden bridge, where is a broken wooden bridge that is crossed by the wind and collapsed when people step on it, and the bridge deck where the new boulder stands in front of you is a complete stone bridge from beginning to end.

It is a stone bridge that cannot collapse or cross even if you want to hit it with a boat.

It's a terrifyingly tall and terrifying bridge that has obviously been tampered with.

In the oppressive atmosphere, in the deathly silence, the water and grass surging in the depths of the lakeshore, but there was no sound of any signal.

discovered everything in front of him, and at this time, Chen Youliang finally knew that he had been tricked.

I finally knew I had been fooled.

Kang Maocai completely deceived himself once.

knew that he had made a big mistake that he should never have made in the matter of Kang Maocai.

This mistake is that he is too gullible to trust Kang Maocai.

A person who has been in the enemy camp for too long may change something to a greater or lesser extent.

But what also made Chen You forgive was that since this was a trap to frame himself, why didn't he see the appearance of the enemy for a long time, since it was a trap, it should be that he would be unprepared after he entered the ambush circle, but looking at the current situation, there was no movement, what was going on?

Could it be that I got it wrong?

Or is there another Koto Bridge here?

Or is it that Lao Kang said in the letter that it was originally a stone bridge, but he was negligent and wrote it wrong?

Without knowing the specific reason, Chen Youliang decided that no matter what the specific reason was, this place was an ominous place after all, and it was better to leave this place as soon as possible, leaving this place that made his back cold and his whole body tremble.

After discovering that something had changed, Chen Youliang immediately changed his strategy, requiring all ships, all soldiers and horses, and all available grain and grass equipment to retreat quickly, away from Jiangdong Bridge, a place of right and wrong that he had already been fooled and was even more afraid that he would fall into the pit.

He also ordered his younger brother Chen Youren, who was in charge of the palace, to lead his 10,000 men and horses to change the water route to a land route, and forcibly land at Longwan, north of the Xinhekou, which is closest to the Jiangdong Bridge, to stabilize his position first, and prepare for the subsequent forced attack on Yingtian by land.

In the afternoon of the next day, Chen Youliang led his Han army and began to land at Longwan.

The development of things is proceeding in an orderly manner according to Zhu Yuanzhang's plan.

After all the Han troops entered the Longwan ambush circle, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had long been unable to bear it, finally waved the red flag.

The bright red flag was like a bright light in the night, dazzling in the scorching sun.

Suddenly, the light on one side of the mountain protruded, under the light of the light, the red flag was put away, the yellow flag appeared, the two flags were lit up one after another, and in a moment the originally silent ground stepped into the ground with Chen Youliang's soldiers and horses stepping in, and a sharp arrow broke through the wind, full of death, full of murderous energy, full of anger towards Chen Youliang, head-on.

At the same time, beams of light burst out, and with the deafening sound of fighting, the originally uniform formation of their own side was instantly disrupted.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had endured for a long time, finally gave the order to attack on all fronts.

With the order issued, Zhu Yuanzhang and all his soldiers and horses swarmed out from all directions.

The first to appear were the ambush soldiers ambushed by Feng Sheng and Chang Yuchun, who were the closest soldiers and horses to Chen Youliang, and were the first to attack Chen Youliang.

The next move was the encirclement army led by Xu Da.

After Xu Da, there was also Zhu Yuanzhang's army led by Zhang Desheng and Zhu Hu, who were mainly responsible for exterminating Chen Youliang's soldiers and horses on the waterway, and at the same time copying Chen Youliang's back road.

At this time, Longwan was like a huge sack, a huge sack that wanted to bury Chen Youliang and his Han army alive, and Chen Youliang and his soldiers and horses were like naked pigs that had been driven to the slaughterhouse and had been stripped of their skins, struggling to find hope for life.

At this time, Chen Youliang finally understood that all the tricks he thought were reduced to other people's pawns, and he, the commander of the Han Dynasty, would become someone else's pawn.

In the face of the continuous attack of the enemy army, in the face of the chaotic and disorderly formation of his own soldiers and horses, like a wild boar waiting to be slaughtered, and in the face of the opponent's absolute dominance and he was in a dangerous situation like being surrounded like being wrapped in dumplings, Chen Youliang, as the commander of the first army, hurriedly issued the order to escape.

With enemy troops everywhere and no advantage on land, Chen Youliang's first thought was the big ship he had placed on the shore guarded by light soldiers.

But at this time, Chen Youliang experienced for the first time what it was like for a person to really memorize words, under the escape of his own army, under a group of people shouting and beating like rats crossing the street and constantly dodging, the people who finally escaped from the shore and escaped on the boat found that they didn't know when the originally high river water had receded, and most of the giant ships were stranded on the beach, and the giant ships that they had built and were proud of were like cold graves at this moment.

At this time, they are no longer free to control the combat tools that come and go at will, at this time they lie on their stomachs and run aground to vent to themselves the only trace of dissatisfaction they have as a tool, which is like his soldiers and horses, who originally came with high morale but wanted to return defeated.

At this time, Chen Youliang seemed to have understood a truth.

If the minister wants me to die, I will go mad;

Heaven I will die, and I will only increase my sorrow.

Facing the huge ship that was almost all stranded, looking back at Zhu Jiajun, who was already close at hand and was bound to kill himself without leaving a trace of regret, Chen Youliang instantly felt that his scalp was numb and his back was cold.

In order to ensure the continuation of his small life, in order to ensure that he retains enough capital, and in order to ensure that he is not afraid of the strategic capital of Qingshan, Chen Youliang once again showed his unique political personality, he decisively gave up the big ship he built with his own hands, forcibly squeezed into a small boat that had not yet run aground, and ordered the ship to move forward at full speed to escape from the land of right and wrong in Longwan.

As for the soldiers who failed to climb onto the boat, let alone leave the shore, Chen Youliang made a decisive decision.

For these people, all abandoned.

You people have been loyal to me, and now is the time for you to give in this critical time.

As the saying goes: raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while.

I've raised you for so long, let you eat dry for so long, today is the time for you to give.

Brothers, give me a stand-up, hold on.

Let me run first, and when I'm far away, it doesn't matter if you're dead or alive.

And with the rout of Chen Youliang, the commander, the only trace of fighting spirit of the Han army, which was originally dusty, disappeared, in the shouting, in the rout, in the sound of escape, the main force of the Han army panicked, and in the case of retreat, they were forced to choose to jump into the river and escape.

At this time, the weakness of human nature is undoubtedly revealed.

In the rout, he finally climbed onto the boat and thought that he could pick up a life, but he didn't expect to be greeted by a former brother and former comrade-in-arms who also served the same master and belonged to the same door, and ruthlessly betrayed.

I'm sorry, at this important moment, at this critical moment when either you die or I die, our former comrades-in-arms and former brothers are gone, and in the face of all the interests that serve to save lives, the fraternal friendship that exists in name only of all slogans is no longer important.

Now that you have the little remaining position, I have to take extreme measures to fight for this last remaining chance to survive.

It's not you forcing me, but reality forcing me.

Don't blame me, if you want to blame, you can only blame your bad life, because only your death can buy me hope for life.

Fundamentally, the responsibility is not on me, and in principle there is nothing wrong with what I did.

If you have to blame someone on Huangquan Road, then you should go to our boss.

Who made this bastard make such a crazy decision.

With the rout of Chen Youliang, the second war since the founding of the Han Dynasty was declared a failure.

The defeat was accompanied by more than 20,000 corpses and more than 7,000 prisoners left on the battlefield.

On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang's army declared a complete victory, with almost no damage to the soldiers and horses while the victory was won, and more than 100 large ships and hundreds of small ships were captured.

These ships greatly made up for the disadvantages of Zhu Yuanzhang's naval army, and played an indispensable strategic role in the subsequent decisive battle with Chen Youliang.

At the same time, on the way to the start of this battle, there was a person's performance that made Liu Ji, who was in the rear, see it in his eyes and remember it in his heart.

This person's name is: Zhang Shicheng.

After the end of the Longjiang Campaign, Liu Ji made a strategic positioning and political evaluation of Zhang Shicheng that was extremely important to him and Zhu Yuanzhang's entire war career, that is: Shicheng defended himself and did not have to worry (Zhang Shicheng is an incapable person who can only live in his palm-sized place, and he is not afraid).

In the Battle of Longjiang, Chen Youliang, as the main battle faction, completely lost a battle, and fled back to Jiangxi after suffering defeat.

In the Battle of Longjiang, Zhang Shicheng, who was a strategic assistant and sent a letter from Chen Youliang before the war to make an additional attack, only sent thousands of soldiers and horses to wander around the border with Zhu Yuanzhang's territory, and marched for a week like a publicly-funded tour before returning home.

From beginning to end, there was no war offensive against Zhu Yuanzhang.

This situation is like the three parties A, B and C are hostile to each other, and the three parties do not interfere with each other in ordinary days, but they do not interact with each other for a long time, and one day Party A and Party B do it because of some absolute interests, according to the thinking of normal people, as the only remaining Party C at this time to watch the excitement is acceptable, while watching the excitement, it is also possible to take advantage of the tension between the two parties to take the opportunity to secretly stab Party A or Party B in the back to get some benefits.

This cannot be said to be despicable, nor can it be said that Party C is a villain.

Because in that case, if it were Zhu Yuanzhang or Chen Youliang, they would inevitably do so, and in the face of political and military interests, this approach is reasonable and reasonable, and it is more in line with the needs of political interests.

Anyway, these are all ready-made cheap, don't pick up for nothing, don't pick up for nothing, don't pick up for nothing.

At this time, Zhang Shicheng could take advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's empty back to take the opportunity to copy his back road, seize some cities, expand his territory, and expand his sphere of influence.

But the fact is that Zhang Shicheng, as a completely independent party, actually watched the two kiss hotly, but chose to hang it up without caring about himself.

Zhang Shicheng's approach reminds me of a word, a word that is very popular in contemporary society, and that is: philanthropist.

In the Battle of Longjiang, Zhang Shicheng fully demonstrated the great concessions he made as a great philanthropist, and he did not take advantage of the loopholes of the two sides to fight the autumn breeze of the other side, but chose to watch the fire from the other side and turn a deaf ear.

Until now, I can't understand why Zhang Shicheng, as the only party who could make a profit for nothing at that time, chose to stand by and watch when it can be said to be a cheap one.

I really can't think of how such a person could have survived the troubled times.

This also doomed him to the fate of defeat later.

Without foresight, how to talk about hegemony.
