However, Wang Zhengyang and Huang Zai didn't care about this.

Now, they took the initiative to come on the order of Zhang Shihua, and it is naturally the place where Zhang Shicheng is requested. Then, they naturally won't hate Zhang Shicheng because of this.

"Ministers Wang Zhengyang and Huang Zai, meet His Royal Highness King Cheng!"

The two knelt on the ground one after another, and instead of calling the title of Taiwei awarded by the Yuan Court, they shouted Zhang Shicheng and the king who had been there for several years.

But such a title is right in the middle of it at this time.

When Zhang Shicheng surrendered to the Yuan Court, it was a last resort. As a salt ding, Zhang Shicheng, who can be said to be at the bottom of society, naturally has no identification with the Yuan Court. In addition, in the past two years, his foreign war has not been smooth, and his territory has been encroached upon by Zhu Yuanzhang step by step, so he naturally misses the time when he was the king and dominated Huainan.

Hearing Wang Zhengyang and Huang Zai call him so, his face, which was still tense, suddenly couldn't help but show a smile.

"It's really hard for the two noble envoys to come from afar, so hurry up and excuse yourself."

"King Xie!"

The two thanked each other, and then stood up from the ground one after another.

"This king is a sincere man, and he doesn't like to go around like a shy lady in everything. The two noble envoys came here at this time, and the comparison was a war with the Zhu thieves in western Zhejiang, right? Seeing Wang Zhengyang and the two standing up from the ground, Zhang Shicheng first glanced at the ministers standing under His Royal Highness, and then couldn't help but say this directly to Wang Zhengyang and the others.

"Your Highness can be described as discerning." Since Zhang Shicheng is so straightforward, Wang Zhengyang naturally has nothing to hide.

Therefore, after silently organizing some words, he couldn't help but clasp his fists directly at Zhang Shicheng and said: "Zhu Yuanzhang in western Zhejiang, often forcibly expropriates the grain and grass of the people under his rule, which is a disaster, making the people under his rule miserable and complaining.

The king of my family led the troops to attack this time, for the sake of the people of western Zhejiang. However, Zhu Yuanzhang held his own minions and horses, and he was unruly and refused to admit his mistakes, so the king of my family sent two of us to envoy here, in order to invite His Royal Highness King Cheng to attack western Zhejiang! ”

"Haha, the King of Chu is really a 'benevolent and righteous' person!" With a slight smile and a word of ridicule or admiration, Zhang Shicheng immediately put away the smile on his face and turned his attention to His Royal Highness's ministers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have all heard what the two noble envoys said. I don't know what you think about this? ”

"Big brother, Zhu Yuanzhang, a dog thief, has a great enmity with my family for not opposing the military revolution. The younger brother thought that at this time, he could respond to the king of Chu and work with the Chu army to defeat the Zhu thief! ”

A warrior wearing a jade crown on his head and a jade belt on his waist also looked at Zhang Shicheng slightly, and he was the first to stand up from the left side of the hall. Hearing this person's words, and the appearance of this person who said goodbye, it is obvious that this person is Zhang Shicheng's most important younger brother at this time, 'Zhang Shixin, the general of eastern Zhejiang'.

And what Zhang Shixin said is "the hatred of not opposing the military revolution". is talking about Zhang Shicheng's third brother Zhang Shide.

They have four brothers in the Zhang family, Zhang Shicheng, Zhang Shiyi, Zhang Shide, and Zhang Shixin, and the four brothers are all siblings of the same mother. In addition, because the four brothers of the Zhang family were all born in Yanding, their father died early, and the four brothers supported each other to grow up, the relationship between the brothers is naturally excellent.

Zhang Shide died because of Zhu Yuanzhang, as Zhang Shixin, who had a very good relationship with Zhang Shide, naturally hated Zhu Yuanzhang to the core.

I even want to carry a weapon with me at all times, so that I can kill Zhu Yuanzhang at every opportunity. was so resentful of Zhu Yuanzhang, so as soon as his brother Zhang Shicheng's voice fell, he stood up.

At this time, as soon as he stood up, the military generals of eastern Zhejiang after him, such as Xu Yi, Li Bosheng, Lu Zhen, Shi Wenbing and others, naturally stood up and agreed.

After all, in the battle with Zhu Yuanzhang, these generals in eastern Zhejiang suffered a lot of losses.

Now that they finally have such an opportunity to 'beat the water dogs', they are naturally unwilling to give up.

Therefore, for a while, the form of the temple became aroused.

However, compared with these military generals in eastern Zhejiang who were shouting for revenge, those civil officials under Zhang Shicheng's account, such as Yuan Ting, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Youcheng Raojie, secretary Chen Ji, Huang Jingfu, Cai Yanwen, Ye Dexin and others were silent at this time.

Therefore, seeing this, Zhang Shicheng, who was sitting in the main seat, couldn't help waving his hand, suppressed the clamor of his younger brother Zhang Shixin and the generals, and turned to Rao Jie, Huang Jingfu and others and asked: "Rao Gong, Jingfu, you are really my wise man who is knowledgeable. They were silent at this time, but did they have any different opinions? ”

"This ......" was asked by Zhang Shicheng, on the surface, as the head of the civil officials, in fact, Rao Jie, who did not have much right to speak in eastern Zhejiang, in order not to offend Zhang Shixin and other military generals, he also stood up and echoed a sentence at will.

"Zhu Yuanzhang and Taiwei in western Zhejiang, you don't fight against the enmity of the military revolution, you can send troops at this time. However, since ancient times, the battlefield has been a place where corpses are standing, so the minister thinks that even if he sends troops, he should be cautious. ”

Caution is paramount, well, this is just nonsense.

So after Rao Jieyan, Zhang Shicheng frowned, and simply stopped paying attention to this 'right man in western Zhejiang' who was committed to the Yuan court and did not help him at all, so he turned his attention to Huang Jingfu, who was also known as the military division of eastern Zhejiang.

"The Zhu thief in western Zhejiang is perverse, and at this time, the two families are willing to join forces to get rid of the thief, which is very good. However, since this is a joint dispatch of troops by the two families, in the minister's opinion, it is better to make a charter for all this. ”

"Charter?" Suddenly, hearing Huang Jingfu's words, Zhang Shixin and other generals couldn't help but be a little unable to get around.

"Zhu thief in western Zhejiang, there are also seven or eight roads under his rule, and these roads belong to them, and they should be divided at this time. Only in this way can the two families use troops in the future to have a clear goal, right? ”

"That's true." Having said this, Zhang Shixin and they naturally understood what Huang Jingfu meant.

Although there is no shortage of brave and good warriors in this group of generals in eastern Zhejiang, they are all halfway monks, and most of them have some bandit habits.

Plus they haven't cooperated with other allies at all, from the cavalry to the present. Then in the understanding of this matter, there is naturally a kind of bandit inertia, that is, "whoever grabs the territory in western Zhejiang will be the one".

But now that they are pointed out by Huang Jingfu, they naturally understand that they are now considered to be a prince of the right side, and they can no longer think of being as undignified as before.

And drawing the charter in advance can also make it better for the two companies that have never joined forces to work better. To a certain extent, it can also avoid any dirty contradictions in the process of cooperation.

After Huang Jingfu said this, Zhang Shicheng couldn't help but nod his head thoughtfully, "But that's the truth." The two envoys don't have an opinion on this, right? ”

"That's the way it stands!" Wang Zhengyang and the two smiled when they heard this, they were about to complete their mission, so naturally they would not have problems at this time.

"Okay, so let's talk about the belonging of this western Zhejiang." As he spoke, Zhang Shicheng waved his hand, and he couldn't help but let people take a map.

……

This kind of question is always inevitable.

After all, this is related to the fundamental interests of their own side, and naturally everyone wants to take advantage of their side. 、

So even if Da Chu's side took the initiative to come to the door, but in this regard, the two parties still argued for a full hour before reaching a consensus.

Nowadays, the places occupied by Zhu Yuanzhang include Zhenjiang Road, Jiqing Road, Taiping Road, Guangde Road, Ningguo Road, Jiande Road, Wuzhou Road (Ningyue Mansion), Huizhou Road, Jiangyin Prefecture and most areas of Changzhou Road, part of Huzhou Road, and part of Shaoxing Road.

And because the rest of the land of Changzhou, Huzhou, and Shaoxing is in the hands of Zhang Shicheng in eastern Zhejiang. Therefore, these three roads were also assigned to Zhang Shicheng.

Then, in addition to these three roads, Jiangyin Prefecture, Jiande Road, Guangde Road, and Wuzhou Road, which bordered eastern Zhejiang and occupied the eastern Zhejiang barrier, were also classified as Zhang Shicheng's own.

As for Jiqing Road and Zhenjiang Road, where the two central centers of western Zhejiang are located, which of the two is the first to conquer, it will be which.

So in this way, in the end, the Great Chu side only drew Taiping Road, Huizhou Road and Ningguo Road (Chizhou Road has been conquered by Great Chu and is not among them).

Therefore, from this point of view, Zhang Shicheng can be said to have taken a big advantage in the pre-war geographical division and belonging.

When such a charter was finalized by both sides, the faces of all the civil and military forces in eastern Zhejiang couldn't help but smile. It felt as if the state capitals that had just been given to them on their map had really become their territory.

So much so that under this illusion, they didn't think at all about whether they could get these state capitals from the hands of the Wu army in western Zhejiang.

But for them, Wang Zhengyang and Huang Zai will not remind them.

Now that they have completed their mission, it is natural that they will not continue to stay here in order to completely close the coffin.

So on June 25, they took the letter written by Zhang Shicheng and the official documents such as Zhang Shicheng's seal letter, and immediately took people away from this rare prosperous place in the world. Then he rushed in disguise in the direction of Chizhou.

……

"The king, Wang Zhengyang and Huang Zai have all left."

On the afternoon of 25 June, after sending Wang Zhengyang and Huang Zai away, Huang Jingfu personally came to Zhang Shicheng to report to them.

"Yes, I see. This time, the two joined forces, and the total number of soldiers and horses was more than 300,000, and the Zhu thief in western Zhejiang was definitely going to die this time! ”

Saying that, looking at Huang Jingfu, Zhang Shicheng's face couldn't help but show a heartfelt smile. There is a saying in the "Book of Rites" that the enmity of brothers does not oppose the military revolution. For Zhu Yuanzhang, who hurt his siblings, Zhang Shicheng also hated him deeply!

However, on the other side, seeing Zhang Shicheng like this, as Zhang Shicheng's most relied on think tank, Huang Jingfu couldn't help but look at Zhang Shicheng, and said word by word with an expressionless face: "King, officially because of this, we are even more careless!" ”

"Oh, Keifu, you're also worried about 'cold lips and teeth'!?"

Now that he is in a high position, Zhang Shicheng naturally asked someone to teach him a good cultural lesson. No matter how much the province was scolded like before, I don't know what's going on. Therefore, his vision at this time is naturally different from the past.

"My fellow sect Zhang Shihua, how can I not know what idea I have in my heart. From ancient times to the present, those who raise troops to fight for war say that they are for the people of the world, but what they do in their hearts is just the word 'profit'.

He Zhang Shihua used nearly a million soldiers, horses and civilians before and after, and how could he be satisfied with this few state capitals. As soon as the Zhu thief in Zhexi died, the next target of this son must be me. But what can it be, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

Even though he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is still too early to become the last beneficiary! ”

Saying this, Zhang Shicheng's eyes couldn't help but show a touch of amazing fighting spirit.

At this time, he was only thirty-eight years old, and it was when a man was at his most prime, and his enterprising spirit was also high!

……

Hundreds of miles away in Huizhou, under this extremely hot weather, after nearly two days of trekking, tens of thousands of high-morale Chu soldiers and soldiers finally killed the county seat of Huizhou under the leadership of Zhao Wei and Zhang Shihui.

Yes, after the fall of Wuyuan Prefecture, Xiuning, as the last barrier of She County, also soon fell under the blade of the Chu army.

The only tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Huizhou were lost in Wuyuan Prefecture. Even though Chang Yuchun led hundreds of remnants of the defeated generals and successfully collected nearly 2,000 defeated soldiers along the way. But with this manpower alone, it is undoubtedly self-defeating to fight against the Chu army, which has high morale.

Therefore, after escaping back to Xiuning, Chang Yuchun did not choose to resist in Xiuning at all. just organized manpower to burn down all the treasury set up by the Wu army in Xiuning. Then he took the thousands of remnants who didn't dare to fight the Chu army anymore, and fled all the way back to Shexian County.

She County, north of Huangshan, east of Hangzhou. Among the six cities in Huizhou, Shexian County is a well-deserved upper county. Not to mention the height of the city walls, the population of the city is more than 100,000 people.

Although there are now only more than 3,000 soldiers left in the city, there is no shortage of soldiers in the city treasury.

Before the war with the Chu army, the Wu army had planned to attack the Quzhou road controlled by the Yuan court directly from Huizhou, so they hoarded a large number of soldiers in the city.

If these armors were removed, they would be enough to arm an army of 10,000 men.

Therefore, in order to hold Shexian County, the nearly 40,000 Wu troops who fought in Shaoxing and Ningyue could return, so that they would not be cut off by the Chu army.

On the day that Chang Yuchun led the remnants of his troops to flee back to She County, he also organized 2,000 soldiers and horses left in She County, and let them start to forcibly recruit young and strong people in the city.

"She County is a big city, there are more than 30,000 households in the city, and there are more than 100,000 people in the city. As long as the people in the city can be mobilized, it will definitely not be a problem to organize tens of thousands of young people. With these tens of thousands of young and strong, we will not be a problem if we hold on to the city until Marshal Hu and General Geng lead the troops back to help. ”

Before the Chu army pressed the border, on the tower of the city gate, the young man who was forcibly recruited by the soldiers was full of sorrow and lined up in an orderly manner to receive swords and weapons under the supervision of the soldiers. On the side, a staff member who was quite relied on by Chang Yuchun couldn't help but cheer up Chang Yuchun, who was extremely depressed because of the fiasco.
