After having made up his mind in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to fight.

In the dilemma of the resignation of hundreds of officials, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the absolute leader of the Zhu family, issued the final military order: to confront Chen Youliang head-on.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was the commander-in-chief but had no idea at all, began to ask for everyone's opinions and make basic military plans for how to resist this powerful bandit.

At this time, the ministers who were originally retreating, rolled up the covers, and were ready to run naked, saw that the expected record book had been lost, and they could only secretly make suggestions.

Anyway, it's impossible to escape today, and it's impossible to surrender.

Since the two political retreats we originally offered were rejected by your boss, and you are now our nominal boss, then we will reluctantly listen to you first.

Who let your boss have a gun in his hand?

The one who has a gun in these years is the uncle.

There are no soldiers in the hands, and the men can only admit it.

Isn't there such a saying?

Those who know the times are Junjie.

The man has a big head, but his neck is not thick, and he can't stand the arbitrary exploitation of your old man.

Under the influence of this ideology, the civil and military ministers began to make suggestions, but at such times, the ministers often insisted on their own opinions and recommended their own different attack plans.

Anyway, there are only a few offensive routines, and the specific methods are explained in the art of war.

For the ministers who have never seen pork but have definitely seen pigs running, randomly pointing out a few offensive strategies is like a blind man ordering troops, which is easy to come by.

As for whether you adopt my plan in the end, that's your business, anyway, I put forward the plan you want for you, and it's not up to me to decide whether it's right or not.

In the end, it is your boss who decides the decision, and you choose whether you succeed or fail, and I have nothing to do with it.

If we win, then we are hello, I am hello, everyone, we will toast together, and congratulate everyone on their promotion and fortune.

If misfortune is defeated, then you don't want to put the blame on me, I'm just giving you advice. If you really lose, then you will treat me as a fart, who made you illiterate, blind and small, and no one chooses my plan.

You deserve bad luck.

In this draft-like debate, there are two main opinions.

One opinion is: We set up an ambush outside the city, taking advantage of the fact that Chen Youliang, an unruly wild wolf, had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place, and devoted its elite forces to attack Chen Youliang and catch him by surprise.

Another suggestion is to gather all our forces to retake Taiping City, and take the lead in launching a counteroffensive when Chen Youliang has not yet launched an attack on the corresponding day.

In the face of these two completely different proposals, neither can say that the other party's suggestions are wrong, and as different roles of literati and military generals, they can also give their own reasonable explanations for the points they put forward.

The two feasible plans have been formulated, and the next step should be submitted to Zhu Yuanzhang.

In this battle, which can only be won and cannot be defeated, in the face of these two completely different strategic packages, Zhu Yuanzhang believes that if he takes the initiative to attack with his existing forces and runs for a long time to face the resistance to Chen Youliang, he will inevitably be defeated.

Moreover, the strength of his naval army is far inferior to Chen Youliang more than ten times, and the most important thing is that although he has a lot of soldiers and horses, most of them are bandits, and they are some landlubbers who are wrapped in cloth and fly on the water with two legs, so that this group of soldiers who rarely participate in water battles and Chen Youliang, a prodigal son who was born in the Salt Gang and has been on the sea all year round, can almost be called suicide.

The possible final result of this plan is that before he can make a move, he will be made dumplings by Chen Youliang.

This is almost a plan to hit a stone with an egg, which was directly denied by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Now that the initiative has been rejected, only one last option remains.

An ambush was set up outside the city.

Considering the fundamental reason for the defeat of Taiping City, thinking about the Taiping City Wall that Chen Youliang could easily enter condescendingly, and comparing Yingtian, a short city wall that is only shorter than Taiping City, not tall, but thin and not thick, in the face of Chen Youliang's unruly wolf menacing murderous aura, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the main general, chose to retreat very wisely.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang finally finalized the location of the ambush.

After determining the specific location, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has the character of Buddhism without turning back and having no shore, asked his subordinates to call a person, a killer feature that has been in ambush for a long time and has not been revealed.

After this person arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been planning for a long time, conveyed the conspiracy in his heart to this person.

and asked him to write a letter to inform Chen Youliang.

This person's name is: Kang Maocai.

Kang Maocai, was Chen Youliang's old acquaintance, and was a former comrade-in-arms, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when the rebel army captured Qi County, Kang Maocai gathered soldiers and horses to defend the township, and was named the marshal of the capital. Later, after Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Jiqing, he led his troops to surrender, awarded the marshal of the water army, and now guards Longwan, and is in charge of Zhu Yuanzhang's logistics grain planting and grain and grass supply. More importantly, Kang Maocai's relatives served under Chen Youliang and deeply trusted Chen Youliang.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to use Kang Maocai's hand to deal with Chen Youliang, who almost scared his crotch.

The specific strategy formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang is as follows: he first asked Kang Maocai to write a letter to Chen Youliang, which roughly means that I, Lao Kang, heard that Boss Chen, you have come to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang, a bald donkey, and I have been working under this wild donkey for so many years, and I am tired of it, and now the more I mess up, the more useless I become.

Uncle, I didn't have Zhu Yuanzhang before when I was a general who led the army, and later defected to Zhu Yuanzhang, thinking that I could find a better errand to do, but I didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang, a stubborn donkey, not only took away my military power, but also let me go to farming, to do this errand that only subordinates can do with a hoe and a handful of tears and sweat in the Yellow Mountain. It's such a complete nonsense errand, and I don't know when it's a head!

Rather than me wasting a lot of resources by wasting my youth like this, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity of this crusade against Boss Chen to be your internal response, and we should work together to kill this stubborn donkey who will not use people and will only toss blindly.

If Boss Chen agrees with my idea, and can tolerate me, a general who has been your enemy for several years and has worked under your enemy for several years, and is now ready to abandon the darkness and return to the righteous master, then I am willing to be your internal response, and open the floodgates for you in Longwan, the place I guarded, and give Zhu Yuanzhang, a bald donkey, for a while.

If you accept my opinion, we will agree to take "Lao Kang" as a signal of action, and when you arrive at Longjiang, you will find a Jiangdong Bridge, and when you see the Jiangdong Bridge, you only need to shout Lao Kang three times, and I will order someone to smash the Jiangdong Bridge made of wood directly and sink it, and let your boss and your army come in, and then you will go straight down the river, and you can go straight to the outside of Jinling City, and even if Zhu Yuanzhang reacts at that time, it will be too late, so that you can unconsciously kill Zhu Yuanzhang, the stubborn donkey who is in the way.

When Chen Youliang received this letter that was full of tears on the surface, but it was actually full of loopholes, I think Chen Youliang should have hesitated, after all, this letter from the enemy's internal body is different from the usual, and there are many problems with the fact that such a letter that is almost top secret can be transmitted from the enemy's interior and finally delivered to him.

As Chen Youliang's adviser, he should be more or less skeptical, but I think that in the face of the adviser's outspoken admonition to Chen Youliang, a bandit who kills the monarch and kills the master, he can't listen to it, and from the perspective of Chen Youliang's thug character who has jumped from a weak scholar to kill the master and skip the rank and last jump to become the emperor's worship, his psychology should be extremely conceited, this kind of person often does not allow others to refute his ideas, let alone tolerate others to question his decision.

Because they know very well that Chen Youliang is a person, how can a person who dares to kill even his own master one after another retain basic compassion for a courtier, this is basically an impossible thing.

Therefore, over time, there will be very few people to advise him, but there will be many people who echo him.

Under such circumstances, Chen Youliang's receipt of this letter is destined to be a tragedy.

As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Chen Youliang was hesitant at this time, but in the face of huge interests, in front of the stubborn donkey who could destroy Zhu Yuanzhang in one fell swoop, in front of his own big ship generals and a powerful army that far exceeded Zhu Yuanzhang several times more than several times, in front of the overconfident and fully rested army, the only hesitation would be completely killed.

It was in this situation that Chen Youliang led his Han Dynasty army to attack Longwan with great force.

In order to achieve an absolute victory in this battle, in line with the ideological character of not doing what has been done, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that all the wooden bridges and Jiangdong Bridges that the Han army must pass through at the entrance of Yingtian were smashed and sunk and rebuilt and changed to stone bridges, and then the words Jiangdong Bridge were enlarged and written again.

There is only one purpose in doing this, that is, to prevent Chen Youliang's army from breaking the bridge and facing it head-on with his own base area.

Chen Youliang: If you really get here, the big ship can't cross the bridge, then there are only two ways left, one is to return the same way, and the other is to land ashore, and this is Longwan.

After doing these things, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Shaorong, who was located in the north of Yingtian, to give up his garrison position, let Xu Da ambush outside the south gate, and ordered Chang Yuchun and Feng Sheng to ambush in Longwan, while Zhu Yuanzhang led a part of the people to be stationed in the Lion Rock on the northwest side to command the whole army to fight.

This method of arranging troops is like placing a big pocket, Jiangdong Bridge is one end of the pocket, and on both sides of the pocket is a tall and straight mountain, and on the other side is Longwan, an open land like a vegetable field, and the rear is led by Xu Da as a broken queen, as long as Chen Youliang's army enters Xu Da tightens the bag, then Chen Youliang will become the king of the urn, and it is impossible to escape.

In order to have a clear signal to attack and not to let his hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses become a group of sheep roaming around at will without command, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget to prepare two flags of different colors, one red and one yellow, and ordered that when I raised the red flag, it means that the enemy army led by Chen Youliang has entered the ambush circle, and when I raise the yellow flag, you will beat me up for my life.

It's almost a perfect strategy.

After all the tasks are arranged, Zhu Yuanzhang gathers all the generals and announces his battle plan, there should be a political speech with great power, especially in the face of Chang Yuchun, a cargo owner who has nothing to do and still stirs up dust, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the commander-in-chief, will inevitably give him a political warning, saying some cruel words that if you cause trouble for me again, I will skin you and stew you alive.

At the same time, at the same time, at this last moment, he stared at the group of generals under his hands, although they are brothers in the same trench, but it is rare to see each other on weekdays, and they don't know how life and death are to say goodbye today.

Seeing that this group of iron-clad men are also the same as themselves, they used to be farmers with hoes and tears, and they used to be a group of happy children with mothers-in-law and children, if they were not forced to live a life of slaughter without their livelihood, who would want to live a life like leaving their children on the battlefield with their heads and shoulders and carrying knives and guns.

But that's just the way the world is.

Either you die or I die, there are always some people who need to be sacrificed on the way.

And you are just a pebble on the lone bridge.

This is the way of heaven!
