Chapter 509: Battle Taiping (7)

"The king, the ministers and others are incompetent, and they failed to leave Wu generals Xu Da and Liao Yongzhong behind. However, the thief Zhao Desheng who injured you with the secret arrow was still divided by the soldiers of our army, and Deng Yu, the general of Wu who ambushed our army on the road not long ago, has also been captured by us and others. ”

In the cabin of Zhang Shihua's flagship, Bai Xi said, waved his hand, and couldn't help but bring a cleaned head and Wu General Deng Yu who was tied up with five flowers.

"Well, since people are already dead, why kill their corpses to vent their anger? Although this person hurt me, he dared to go deep alone in the 100,000 army, but he was also a first-class loyal warrior. Find all his body, and then find a place to bury it. ”

Looking at Zhao Desheng's corpse, Zhang Shihua paused, but couldn't help but give such an order to Bai Xi.

"This ...... King, this is inevitably a little too cheap for this dog thief. This dog thief injured the king, and almost ruined the major affairs of our army, and it is not an exaggeration to crush the bones and ashes and destroy the family, how can he be so cheap. ”

"Alright, I've made up my mind, so let's go."

"Yes!" Hearing Zhang Shihua say this, Bai Xi didn't say anything else. After all, just like Zhang Shihua said, people are already dead, and it is indeed a little stingy to kill their corpses to vent their anger.

"This person is Deng Yu, heh, at the age of twenty-two, he is in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers, and it is rare to have a talent in his own right." When the soldiers took Zhao Desheng's head away again, looking at Deng Yu, who was tied up and gagged by the five flowers, Zhang Shihua first smiled and praised. Then he looked at Bai Xi and gave him a look, so he took out the fabric that was blocked in Deng Yu's mouth.

"General Deng, I have heard a lot about you. Your father and brother both died in battle with Yuanmeng, and they can be described as loyal. Now you can also see that if you lose today, Zhu Yuanzhang in western Zhejiang is no longer able to compete with me, and sooner or later he will be defeated by me.

Those who know the times are Junjie. Besides, the general is worthy of him Zhu Yuanzhang this time. Therefore, I don't know, General, are you willing to surrender to me? ”

“……”

Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Deng Yu, who was tied up and forcibly pressed to the ground, glanced at Zhang Shihua, but then said nothing.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help frowning. But when he thought that Deng Yue was able to take charge of himself at a young age, and he was still a good general who was proficient in firearms, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but persuade him for a long time.

But Deng Yu was also determined to be Xu Shu this time, no matter what Zhang Shihua said and how to persuade him to be wealthy, famous, and powerful, he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

In this regard, Zhang Shihua is also helpless. Therefore, he waved his hand at the two soldiers, and then asked the two soldiers to take Deng Yu, who was speechless, out of the cabin, and prepared to detain Deng Yu first.

However, when the two soldiers brought Deng Yu to the deck, Deng Yue, who was still cooperative, suddenly roared, suddenly broke free from the two soldiers, and then threw himself directly into the water in an exclamation.

"It's not good, this Wu general is going to seek death, quickly rescue him, quickly rescue him!"

The Chu army on the deck couldn't help but be in a mess because of this. After all, this is the person that the king of his own family cares about, even if he is a general, he must not be allowed to die like this under the noses of his own people!

It was a few Chu soldiers with excellent water ability, who hurriedly took off their armor and jumped into the river, saving Deng Yu, who was almost dying, from the river.

"Grandma, I don't think this Wu Jiang is a tough man!"

Looking at Deng Yu, the general of Wu who was soaked and almost died in the river, a personal guard chief breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he couldn't help but praise Deng Yu's behavior of taking the initiative to seek death.

"Yes, my lord!" "Wait for the king!"

When such a thing happened, Zhang Shihua naturally walked out of the cabin with a group of subordinates.

"Ants are still greedy, why should General Deng be like this!" Looking at Deng Yu, who was soaked and panting in pain on the deck, he was still a little annoyed that this person didn't know how to lift Zhang Shihua, but at this time, he couldn't help but think more highly of Deng Yue.

"General Deng, you are only twenty-two now, if you compare it with the sun in one day, it is the sun of time, the most energetic time, and there is a great future. As long as General Deng is willing to surrender, then with General Deng's skills, how can the marquis of ten thousand households be enough! ”

"Hahahaha, life in the world, but only a hundred years. Once in the world, it is enough to be able to 'look up to the sky and bow down to the ground'. The lord has the grace of reinvention to Deng, how can Deng be ashamed of him. The king doesn't need to be persuaded anymore, Deng has made up his mind, and I hope the king will give him a good time! ”

"......, hey!"

Seeing Deng Yu's appearance, Zhang Shihua sighed, and he also understood that it was impossible for him to subdue this person.

Therefore, he waved his hand to the guards on the left and right, and after giving him an order to "give General Deng a whole corpse", he left without looking back.

……

"Great king, there is a way within three households, and there will be loyalty. Although Zhu Yuanzhang in western Zhejiang is not benevolent, he is also a prince with hundreds of thousands of people, and it is not surprising that his subordinates have one or two loyal people. You don't have to take this to heart, my lord. ”

Seeing that Zhang Shihua was a little depressed because of this, Zhao Ziyu, who knew how to observe words and feelings, couldn't help but say to Zhang Shihua like this.

"Alright, let's not talk about it. Now let me tell the king about the number of beheadings, casualties, and captures of our army in this battle. ”

In the end, he has also experienced a hundred battles and witnessed countless lives and deaths.

Therefore, after Zhao Ziyu gave up, Zhang Shihua, who seemed a little unable to let go, quickly found his state and began to discuss business with his subordinates.

"King Qiqi, in this battle, our army beheaded four thousand five hundred and thirty-two, and captured eight thousand six hundred and fifty-three. The number of soldiers who were killed or wounded and missing was more than 3,430. Now, all the soldiers and horses of the Wu army in the Great Dragon Nest have been defeated by our army.

And the hundreds of warships of all sizes controlled by the Wu army have also become trophies of our army. However, because Wu Jun Xu Da and Liao Yongzhong left in time, they were still taken away by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and then fled north.

According to this situation, Xu Da and Liao Yongzhong must have led their troops to flee to the last city on Taiping Road - Dangtu City. According to the secret report of our army spies, the Wu army also left nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in Dangtu, and now with the remnants of Xu Da and their leadership, the strength is estimated to increase to 20,000.

However, after several defeats, the Wu army must not have much morale at all. Come to think of it, as long as our army presses the border, it will be easy to break through. ”

"Good!"

For Zhao Ziyu's methodical words, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but nod with satisfaction when he heard this.

"Pass my military order, let the army immediately march into Wuhu City, and then all the departments immediately integrate the troops and horses, and wait until three days later, and then the troops will be dispatched."

"Yes, the ministers are commanded!"

……

"Gentlemen, now the Chu thieves have broken through my Wuhu, and the soldiers are on the verge of being destroyed. The southern soldiers and horses such as Ningyue and Shaoxing were all restrained by thieves on Jiande Road due to the defeat of Huizhou, and they were not allowed to go north. You are either my family or my brains, but I don't know what to do to break the enemy? ”

Within two days, the defeat of the Wu army in Wuhu reached Jinling.

And hearing such news, even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be shocked. Although the Chu army is strong, but with a general like Xu Da and tens of thousands of elite Wu Junerang, Zhu Yuanzhang can't help but think that no matter how bad the ending is, it will definitely not be a problem for Xu Da to persist for a few months and a half.

But he never expected that the artillery of the Chu army would be so sharp, and above the river, his own sailors would be attacked by it without the power to fight back. So much so that even if he won a small victory on land, Jiangshang was still easily defeated by the Chu army.

This really made Zhu Yuanzhang frightened.

From the uprising to the present, he has fought in the north and south for several years. restraining subordinates, emphasizing military discipline, and winning over the scholars; There is a plan to pursue Zhu Shengguang's accumulation of grain, build a high wall, and slow down the king. Surrounded by strong enemies, he worked hard to build such a foundation.

I thought that with this foundation in hand, even if I couldn't win the world and compete in the Central Plains, I could follow the example of the Three Kingdoms Soochow, divide one side, and become a king.

But he didn't expect that in the face of Zhang Shihua, who was adjacent to him, he would be so vulnerable.

'Could it be that the destiny of heaven is really not in oneself, one's destiny should be a stepping stone on the road to hegemony for others, and he rejoices in this scene! ’

In this regard, Zhu Yuanzhang struggled all night, but in the end he still mustered up his fighting spirit.

'I have been fighting for many years, and I have come and gone in the water and in the fire, how have I ever seen any destiny, and how have I ever had any miracles. Today's gain, that is not earned by one's own knife and gun. Although he does not force the establishment of hegemony like Hanzu and Guangwu, it is not easy to jump out of the chessboard and become a person who holds chess, how can he be willing to re-enter the chessboard and become a chess piece in the hands of others, and even life and death are decided by others. Wuhu suffered a fiasco, losing tens of thousands of elites.

But along the way to Jiqing, he was in charge of 10,000 old soldiers and recruited more than 30,000 new soldiers. And in Jiangyin, Changxing and other places, there are also 30,000 available good soldiers. Back then, Han Zu was defeated repeatedly and Shangxing hegemony, and he still had such a foundation in hand at this time, so why couldn't he turn defeat into victory. ’

Zhu Yuanzhang thought so in his heart, he washed his face with cold well water after not sleeping all night, and then swallowed something in his mouth, and then he also cheered up his spirits, and summoned his nephews and nephews in Jinling, Wen Zheng, Wen Zhong and other confidants and think tanks Li Shanchang, Zhu Sheng, Yang Xian, Wang Guangyang, etc. to the mansion.

At this time, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who was asking them for advice.

"Uncle, in my nephew's opinion, the main reason why our army has been defeated in successive battles this time is that the forces are too scattered." Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question in the hall, Zhu Wenzheng, one of Zhu Yuanzhang's blood relatives, couldn't help but be the first to stand up, "Today, our army is at war with Zhang Shihua, how similar is it to Yuan Shao's attack on Wei Wu during the Three Kingdoms.

Zhang Shihua has a large number of soldiers and horses, if he continues to divide his troops as before, our army will only let Zhang Shihua gather superior soldiers and horses, besiege several times, and break through each one. At the beginning, Wei Wu Cao Cao used the strategy of gathering troops for a decisive battle to defeat Yuan Shao, who was far above him.

Therefore, in the nephew's mind, if our army wants to win this time, the only way to do this is to gather heavy troops and Jiqing, and do our best to fight a decisive battle with the enemy! ”

As he spoke, the young Zhu Wenzheng couldn't help but clench his fist with his right hand and slammed his left palm heavily to show his resoluteness. In addition, looking at his bloodshot eyes, it is okay, Zhu Wenzheng has also been thinking about this for a day and a night.

But after Zhu Wenzheng said this, before Zhu Yuanzhang could say anything, Zhu Wenzheng's cousin Zhu Wenzhong couldn't help but take the initiative to stand up and veto.

"Brother's policy, my brother doesn't dare to agree. There is a way that is different from the past. When Yuan Shao attacked Cao, Cao Mengde coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, not to mention the righteousness. Xuzhou, Runan and other princes who were enemies of Cao Mengde were also swept away by Cao Mengde.

At that time, although Cao Mengde was based on the land of the four wars in the Central Plains, he really had no worries.

But now, let's not talk about the dispensable righteousness. Just say that Zhang Shicheng in eastern Zhejiang, this thief has a grudge against our department that does not oppose the military revolution, and he does not want to take revenge all the time. Although this thief has been defeated in successive battles under the front of our army in recent years, there are 100,000 soldiers under his command.

If all the soldiers and horses are gathered in Jiqing at this time, I am afraid that they will face the two-sided attack of Zhang Shihua and Zhang Shicheng. ”

"How could I not have known this. It is true that Zhang Shicheng in eastern Zhejiang has a great enmity with our department, but this thief is a cunning and treacherous person in the end. Now if our department is dead, the next one will be him Zhang Shicheng, how can this thief not know such a simple truth. ”

"Brother, the survival of my family is at stake, how can hope be pinned on the hands of the enemy!"

"Then you say, if not, can you still ......"

"That's enough, shut up!" Seeing that his junior nephews and nephews were still arguing at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be angry.

"There is a saying that 'brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are gold'. Now that it is a critical moment of life and death, the two of you still have to quarrel, it is really disappointing to me! As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but slap the table in front of him with his hand.

Seeing this, Zhu Wenzheng and Zhu Wenzhong, who were in the hall, couldn't help but kneel on the ground together, not daring to say anything more. Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and let the two stand up after another lesson and scolded the two, instead of driving them out.

After all, in addition to being the last bloodline left by his many brothers and sisters of Zhu Yuanzhang, these two sons are also talented people who can take charge of themselves. It is a matter of life and death, and at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang can trust these two nephews of his own family the most, so naturally he will not drive them out.

So after dissipating his anger, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Li Shanchang and the others standing on the left, and couldn't help but squeeze out a smile on his face, and asked about these think tanks.
