In order to take Sichuan, Zhu Yuanzhang made two preparations.

He first asked Tang He to lead a part of his troops and horses through the waterway from Anhui to Hubei and directly into Sichuan.

The other cavalry, led by Fu Youde, set out from Nanjing, detoured through Henan and Shaanxi to the rear of Sichuan.

Since we talked about Fu Youde, let's get to know this brother briefly.

Before talking about Fu Youde, I will give him a brief evaluation.

I evaluate him as: Yum General (100% victorious general).

If Chang Yuchun is a victorious general, then Fu Youde is definitely worthy of being a Yum general.

Personally, I think that among the many famous generals in history, there are but few people who can be as famous as Fu Youde.

If you want to list it, I think Huo Qu's illness during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is one, Bai Qi during the Warring States Period can be counted as one, and Han Xin during the Western Han Dynasty can also be counted as one.

I think only these three people can be comparable to him, and the others are more or less less interesting compared to Fu Youde.

The reason why I call him General Yum is very simple, because as long as Fu Youde led the soldiers and horses to launch a campaign, he has never lost, he is different from Chang Yuchun, although Chang Yuchun is known as Chang 100,000, give him 100,000 soldiers and horses can run rampant all over the world, but literally it can be seen that rampant does not mean that he will not be beaten, which is the same as the black boss of society.

Although he is full of brilliance and looks like he is going to blow up the sky, he must have had the experience of being beaten.

Chang Yuchun is an outstanding representative of this kind of person, when he was working for Zhu Yuanzhang, he more or less lost times, and there were also cases where he was beaten so that he couldn't find the north.

But Fu Youde is different.

Ever since I read the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty, I have never seen this guy lose.

As long as he leads the soldiers and horses to the battle, he only wins and never loses.

In other words, only Fu Youde can bully others, and no one has ever been able to bully him.

You might as well think about it, if it is on the battlefield, this kind of fierce person and himself have a hard fight, what the result will be.

I don't think there's anyone who can beat him head-on.

I also believe that under the circumstances at that time, the name Fu Youde was definitely a nightmare for the enemy.

Now many people say at every turn: fight for honor.

I don't think Fu Youde needs to play like this at all.

Because it doesn't need honor at all.

His name is an honor.

The existence of honor like the god of war.

This honor will reverberate throughout the ages with his successive victories.

His name will be a death and maiming nightmare in the eyes of the enemy.

With the sudden death of Chang Yuchun. In the next many battles, Fu Youde's name will resound all over the country.

Okay, with all that said, let's really get to know this benevolent brother.

Name: Youde Fu;

Nationality: Ming Dynasty (Chinese);

Place of birth: Dangshan (now Dangshan County, Suzhou City, Anhui Province);

Main achievements: Sichuan, Gansu, Guizhou, Yunnan.

Official position: Prince Taishi;

Posthumously sealed: Lijiang Wang;

Ethnic group: Han nationality;

Ancestral hometown: Xiangcheng, Suzhou;

Knights: Ying Guogong;

Nickname: Wu Jing;

Died: 1394;

Cause of death: to be given death (look, another giver of death, how painful it is to reward one with death).

If you are familiar with the map, you should find a problem, the route arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang for Fu Youde is too long, and the length can almost catch up with more than twice the route of Tang He.

And more importantly, Tang He sits on a boat, and Fu Youde rides a horse, which are completely two treatments.

Tang He can let the soldiers row a boat and smoke a cigarette and swim to Sichuan easily.

But Fu Youde can't.

It is impossible for him to wander all the way to Sichuan in a carriage, and even if he wants to do this, Zhu Yuanzhang will not agree. This benevolent brother could only ride a long detour to the rear of Sichuan.

It's really a bad deal.

At this point, I think Zhu Yuanzhang has taken due care of Tang and this old subordinate, and Zhu Yuanzhang, as the boss, fully protected Tang and this close comrade-in-arms, and gave him full benefits.

But Fu Youde doesn't have such good luck as Tang He, plus Fu Youde can fight, and he can win battles, Fu Youde is more fierce than Chang Yuchun and Xu Da, and the more important reason is that Fu Youde has never lost the battles he has fought in his hands from beginning to end, all of them have won.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare to say that he had such courage from the beginning of the rebellion.

But Fu Youde is different, this guy has this capital.

Whether it is Chen Youliang before or Mingsheng now, or Wang Baobao after that, it's all the same.

As long as he has soldiers in his hands, none of you will want to bully him.

There is another reason why Zhu Yuanzhang gave Fu Youde the task of attacking Sichuan, Fu Youde had worked in Sichuan before, and Fu Youde still had the heart to defect to Ming Yuzhen at that time, but was rejected by Ming Yuzhen.

The reason why Ming Yuzhen rejected Fu Youde is also very simple, this guy is too fierce, so fierce that he is afraid, he is afraid that he will be swallowed by this bastard one day, for the sake of his own safety, let him get out of it as soon as possible.

After being rejected, Fu Youde, who was desperate, chose to defect to Xu Shouhui, and then Xu Shouhou was killed by Chen Youliang before he defected to Zhu Yuanzhang and became a pawn of Zhu Yuanzhang, and then worked hard step by step to climb to the position of Yingchuan Hou.

I think we should all learn from Fu Youde.

Learn from his bravery.

We should learn from his indomitable spirit that cannot be defeated or overwhelmed like Xiaoqiang.

After experiencing three ups and downs, he was not only not crushed under the command of Boss Zhu, but also established his immortal achievements.

This alone is worth learning from all of us.

was rejected and insulted, Fu Youde must have a grudge against Ming Yuzhen in his heart.

But now Ming Yuzhen has hung up.

This account naturally had to be sprinkled on his son Mingsheng.

If two people don't have grudges, they may not do their best to fight, but with grievances, it's different.

Say hello to death, if I don't beat you out of the today, count you clean!

Zhu Yuanzhang should also take a fancy to this, so he will let Fu Youde play.

The land and water armies launched an attack on Sichuan at the same time.

Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement did not disappoint him.

In particular, Fu Youde's strange army played a vital role in the Sichuan Campaign.

Because when Mingsheng found out that there was an enemy entering Sichuan, he only found Tang He's army downstream.

At this time, Fu Youde was still on his way to Sichuan.

As the boss of this part of Sichuan, Ming Sheng, who is becoming the emperor, really doesn't know Zhu Yuanzhang's two-handed arrangement, and he doesn't know that Tang He's troops are just bait, the purpose is to attract all the defenders of Sichuan to assemble at Qutang Pass, while another army of soldiers and horses is quietly approaching his lair.

In order to take care of Tang He's business, Mingsheng did not treat this opponent who came from thousands of miles away.

He had his men erect a chain bridge at Qutang Pass, and then placed many stones (obstacles) of various sizes on the chain bridge to prevent Tang He's ships from entering Sichuan directly by water.

Subsequently, Dai Shou, Wu Youren, Zou Xing and others stationed in other places were successively transferred to support Qutang Gorge.

At this time, Qutang Pass was not much different from our current Three Gorges, except that it did not have a dam.

But the stones on this chain bridge are also enough for soup and a pot to drink.

Because as long as Tang He's troops wanted to pass through Qutang Pass, Mingsheng asked his men to throw boulders and smash these bastards who tried to pass through here.

I have to say that Mingsheng really makes good use of the characteristics of the Three Gorges Wonderland.

He didn't need to fight Tang He's troops head-on, nor did he need to exert too much effort, he just needed to let people constantly carry stones, and then let a group of people nibble on steamed buns and chew vegetables, and it was enough to see the enemy throwing stones downward.

Saving time and effort will not cost you the loss of soldiers and horses.

It can be said that Mingsheng is doing a profitable business without losing money.

Faced with this situation, the soup and the first stop the dishes.

At this time, Tang He deeply understood Li Bai, the great poet's evaluation of Sichuan in "The Difficulty of Shu Road": The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky.

Tang He, who arrived in Sichuan, looked for the soldiers and horses of the Xia Kingdom everywhere, he wanted to have a tough battle with Mingsheng, even if he lost in the end, he would admit it, at least when he returned home, he had a reason to deal with the boss.

It shows that this bastard and his subordinates are too fierce, these people you handed over to me are a group of cowards, a group of soft eggs who can't do anything and can't eat anything, and they can't fight Mingsheng at all.

This reason is a bit far-fetched, but at least it makes sense.

But what Tang He didn't expect was that Mingsheng didn't accept the offer at all.

And this guy doesn't do anything every day, just busy throwing rocks and playing.

How can this rod be beaten!

Tang He is out of luck.

Tang He, who wanted to beat others and not fight with himself, broke through hard and couldn't survive Tang He wandered around Qutang Pass for three months, and he didn't move an inch.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in Yingtian, seemed to have known Tang He's result for a long time, and as the boss, he didn't seem to expect Tang He to play much of a role in Bashu, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget to urge him, and wrote a letter to Tang He, in which he scolded Tang He fiercely, and asked him to find a way to break through the Three Gorges as soon as possible.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not Tang He, he didn't fight with the stone head-on, he really doesn't care, anyway, the task is handed over to you, how to play is your business, I don't care about the process, just look at the result, this is the difference between the boss and his subordinates.

I support you, you have to find a way to do things for me when you pay your salary, how to do it is your business and I have nothing to do with it, I don't pay for you to come to me to eat, you can solve your own things by yourself, don't bother me with bad things all day long.

After urging Tang He, Zhu Yuanzhang put all his eyes on the other team.

This team was the cavalry led by Fu Youde.

Before Fu Youde set off, Zhu Yuanzhang personally summoned Fu Youde and explained the real purpose of letting him take a long detour, with only one purpose, that is: to surprise.

To put it bluntly, it is to let Fu Youde play blitzkrieg.

Let him become a sharp blade, like a sharp sword, while the enemy is putting his weight downstream, go around the enemy's back and give the enemy's heart upstream.

I believe that if you play according to your own strategy, if you don't kill the enemy, you can at least cripple him.

Fu Youde, who led the troops, carried out Zhu Yuanzhang's order, and Fu Youde, who led the cavalry, did not have any friction with the defenders of Jinniu Mountain, which was heavily defended by the Xia army, but made a detour to Longnan in southern Gansu, and then drove straight in, after breaking through Jiezhou and Wenzhou, he went straight to Shuzhong, and then successively took Mianyang and Deyang.

There is only one step left before Chengdu.
