Chapter 029: Chen Youliang's thoughts
Chen Youliang led the army eastward, and he did bring his family, but he was a hero, and he had just been knocked out of his teeth, how could he have the heart to play with a woman who slept with him at this time.
First of all, he discussed with the military generals of Wenchen, some people said that the division was not good and should return to Wuchang, and some people suggested that he leave Hongdu and go straight to the empty Yingtian, both of which were not to his liking, he was used to being arbitrary, and drove people out, leaving only two people around.
Chen Youliang's eyebrows are high and convex, his eyes are cloudy, his nose is thin and his lips are thin, and his jaw is a long black beard. He is in his early forties, but his skin and face are younger than Zhu Yuanzhang, who is in his thirties.
Although he was born poor, he became a civil servant of the Great Yuan Dynasty when he was young, and his family was not rich, but he was definitely much happier than Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a monk and begging for food.
Wearing a golden crown and a yellow robe, he was blown in the night wind, and stood on the roof of the giant ship looking out towards Hongdu City.
In this era of almost no light pollution, the pillar of light rising into the sky is extremely eye-catching and dazzling. Chen Youliang frowned and looked at a man dressed as a Taoist priest beside him, "The Taishi is profoundly knowledgeable and good at divination, so I know what this pillar of light is." ”
This Taoist priest's name is Zou Pusheng, he is not only a Taoist priest, but also the elder of the Western Red Turban Army, and later became the Taishi of the Tianwan regime, Chen Youliang became the Taishi of the Chen Han regime after killing Xu Shouhui.
Chen Youliang is cruel and suspicious by nature, stubborn and self-serving, once he makes a decision, it is almost difficult for other people to change, only this Taishi can still listen to a few words.
Zou Pusheng shook his head slightly: "I have never seen such a strange scene, but there must be a master in this city to help that Zhu Wenzheng." ”
"It must be so, like that bamboo tube that explodes. I have been fighting with Zhu Thief for many years, and I have never seen him use such a sharp weapon for many years, so it must be new. ”
"I don't think there's anything big about it, it's just a big firecracker." Standing next to Chen Youliang, a burly man in armor and armor spoke, this person is forty years old, with peugeot facial features, five strands of beautiful hair under his chin, chic and mighty, and he is much stronger than Chen Youliang.
However, this person is not an embroidered pillow with a silver wax gun head, but Zhang Dingbian, the first general under Chen Youliang, who served as Chen Hantai's lieutenant.
This person is not only a fierce general but also a wise general, during the Battle of Longwan, Lao Zhu gave Chen Youliang a set, Chen Youliang obediently took the bait, Zhang Dingbian knelt down and persuaded but failed to stop it, which led to the defeat of Jiangdong Bridge. In the end, it was Zhang Dingbian, the old brother, who took Chen Youliang out of the encirclement and fled back to Wuchang by boat.
Zhang Dingbian was loyal, and Chen Youliang did not treat his old brother badly, and trusted him very much, except for not listening to him.
After returning to Wuchang, Zhang Dingbian persuaded Chen Youliang to rest and recuperate, and he would fight again in the future.
Let's go, after all, it's a good time, who knows that Chen Youliang didn't go to Jiangdong to fight the empty Yingtian, and actually ran to Poyang Lake to fight Hongdu, which made Zhang Dingbian anxious.
Today, after a big setback under Hongdu City, Zhang Dingbian was not worried but happy, "Your Majesty, since there are masters in Hongdu City to help, it must be not easy to take it, it is better to go down the river to attack Yingtian." ”
Chen Youliang was silent, but Zou Pusheng said: "The small Hongdu City can't be beaten, let alone Yingtian, where the city is high and deep." ”
Zhang Dingbian sneered, "It is true that Yingtian City is deep, but the bigger the city, the more people are needed to defend it, and now Yingtian's army is empty, and the surrounding terrain is open, which is convenient for our army to deploy, and it is not difficult to break more and less." On the contrary, Hongdu is narrow, and there are 600,000 empty troops, but they can't use their strength. Oh, Taishi is a civil servant, and it's not surprising that he doesn't know about the military. ”
Zou Pusheng's old face turned red and was about to refute, but Chen Youliang interrupted impatiently, "Look what that pillar of light is doing!" ”
I saw that the pillar of light shot out from the head of Hongdu City suddenly swept towards the Milky Way in the night sky, and then it became irregularly shaking.
Zou Pusheng's eyes closed, pinched his fingers frequently, and his mouth was also full of words, and soon opened his eyes again, looking up at the sky, "The divine light enters the galaxy and disturbs the stars, I am afraid that it will damage Your Majesty's royal spirit." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the pillar of light suddenly shoot into the lake, sweeping towards the big boat they were on. Zou Pusheng suddenly pulled Chen Youliang to the ground, "Your Majesty be careful!" The pillar of light swept past Chen Youliang's boat and then vanished.
Zou Pusheng was indignant, "Sure enough, I came for Your Majesty, I really didn't expect that Zhu Thief would also use this kind of subordinate." ”
Chen Youliang, who got up from the warehouse board, was a little embarrassed, and the gloomy color in his eyes could almost overflow. The technique of disgust with victory is intolerable to all emperors, of course, including Chen Youliang, he gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Taishi can have a way to break it." “
Zou Pusheng swore and patted his chest, "It's a trivial matter, Weichen can write a spiritual rune to protect His Majesty, but this humane law is profound, if you don't get rid of it, it will be a scourge in the end." “
Chen Youliang sneered and said angrily: "Okay! If we attack the city again tomorrow, I don't believe that an army of 600,000 will not be able to break through the small Hongdu. If you catch this demon, you will definitely cut him with a thousand knives. ”
Zhang Dingbian glared at Zou Pusheng, and was about to persuade again, but saw the leader of the soldiers hurriedly ascending to the top of the warehouse, and bowed: "Your Majesty, the prince is back, saying that he has caught a craftsman leader, and there is a strategy to break the city at this moment." ”
Chen Youliang was overjoyed, and then he was stunned, "What kind of craftsman can break through the capital city?" ”
The leader of the pro-soldiers replied: "The prince only said that he was the craftsman who built the Fuzhou Gate a year ago. ”
Chen Youliang suddenly became interested, "It's still Shan'er (Note 1) capable!" Hurriedly got off the top of the warehouse, turned around and said to the two people on the top of the warehouse: "Two Aiqing, come quickly!" ”
"Here we go!" Zou Pusheng was about to go down, but he felt a tightness in his wrist, and turned around and asked, "What else is the matter with the captain?" ”
Zhang Dingbian asked with a cold face: "Why did the Taishi want to provoke His Majesty to attack Hongdu!" If you continue to spend it, there will be no chance. ”
Zou Pusheng smiled, "Do you think I don't know that attacking Ying Tiancai at this moment is the best choice." ”
Zhang Dingbian's face welled up with anger, and he asked in a suppressed voice: "Since you know that you want Your Majesty to attack Hongdu, what kind of thoughts do you have, don't you think of your old master, and you want to destroy Your Majesty's foundation for him!" “
Zou Pusheng sneered, "You think you are the only loyal minister in the Han Dynasty!" Think Your Majesty doesn't understand that it's right to attack Ying Tiancai? “
Zhang Dingbian's face was full of doubts, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Before leaving, Your Majesty summoned me to divinate and asked me whether I should attack Yingtian or Hongdu, and I naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense about the major events of the expedition, no matter what the hexagram was, I told Your Majesty that I should fight Yingtian. His Majesty was not satisfied, and only let me continue divination, three times in a row, and then I understood......"
"Understand what?"
Zou Pusheng suddenly lowered his voice, "Your Majesty is scared of being beaten by the Zhu thief!" “
Zhang Dingbian was like being struck by lightning, and slowly shook his head and let go of Zou Pusheng's wrist, "Your Majesty is brave and resolute, how can you be afraid of Zhu Thief!" “
"You have followed Your Majesty for the longest time, Your Majesty is closest to you, and you should also know Your Majesty best, you know better than me why lie to yourself." Zou Pusheng smiled, "Your Majesty has gone from a fisherman to a ninety-five supreme who has made a fortune, and it has been smooth sailing along the way, how have you ever experienced a fiasco like Longwan, that is a knot that Your Majesty can never get around, and the foolishness of Zhu Thief and Kang Maocai is even more a shame engraved in Your Majesty's heart." “
Zhang Dingbian was stunned for a moment before he said: "Your Majesty wants to fight to the death with the Zhu thief in the lake with the soldiers of the boat." ”
"Hey...... After all, you are the one who knows Your Majesty best. Zou Pusheng looked at Hongdu City in the distance, "Actually, whether this Hongdu attacks or not, it's just that Your Majesty's temper has come up, I'm afraid no one can stop it!" ”
If Ma Du heard the conversation between the two, he would definitely say that it was really character that determines fate! (Note 2)
Note 1 Chen Shan'er, Chen Youliang's crown prince, is said to be a cruel and murderous person like Chen Youliang, and he is more brave in battle. The Battle of Poyang Lake was captured, and it is estimated that it will be cut down soon. There is too little information.
Note 2 is not that the author is deliberately belittling Chen Youliang, Chen is inevitable to lose to Lao Zhu, cruel and easy to kill, suspicious and suspicious, unkind and unjust, rigid and self-serving, Lao Zhu also has, and even surpasses it, but Lao Zhu still has three more things than him, the first brain, this thing Chen Youliang really doesn't have, at least not much, the second is the stoic character, Lao Chen doesn't, the third is luck, at least in front of Lao Zhu, the true dragon son is weakened. In the Battle of Poyang Lake, Lao Zhu was trapped to death many times and escaped, but Lao Chen was easily shot to death.
