At the same time as Deng Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang were fighting, Zhang Shicheng, who was surrounded and suppressed by a million-strong army, ushered in his spring!

Because he was framed by traitors in the court, he was locked by Emperor Yuan, and the million-yuan army was in a mess and collapsed on its own. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Shicheng, who was immortal in the catastrophe, took the opportunity to counterattack, broke the leaderless Yuan army, surrendered and rebelled, and his prestige was greatly boosted, gathering tens of thousands of male soldiers, and reaching the peak of his life!

Zhang Shicheng got rid of the predicament, and his strength skyrocketed for Deng Yu's forces, Zhang Shicheng and Deng Yu had a grudge against their brothers, and once they freed up, they would definitely send troops to attack Deng Yu.

When the news reached Chuzhou, Deng Yu's mood was quite heavy, and he hurriedly sought out Li Ke, Dong Qing, Lu Zhen, Qi Hong, Han Meng and other civil and military personnel to discuss countermeasures.

After thinking for a while, Li Ke took the lead in speaking: "After our army has fought with the forces of Bald Jian and Zhu Yuanzhang in a series of vicious battles, its strength has been greatly damaged, and its combat power and gathering momentum are less than one-tenth of Zhang Shicheng's. ”

"Fortunately, although Zhang Shicheng won from the encirclement and suppression of the million-yuan army, there are still many remnants of the Yuan army in Gaoyou and other places, and Zhang Shicheng needs to spend a lot of time to clean up the mess, which gives our army time to deploy and deal with it!"

Therefore, the top priority of our army at present should be to make peace with Zhu Yuanzhang as soon as possible, avoid fighting on two fronts, and retain a single point of vitality. Then quickly return to the division, strive to protect Sizhou, Xuyi, Lai'an and other foundation places, and then step up the recruitment of troops and horses, accumulate strength, and prepare for a vicious battle! ”

As soon as Li Ke's words fell, Dong Qing frowned, and asked angrily: "According to the opinion of the Yunqi military division, isn't Chuzhou, which our army has lost many soldiers and captured, to Zhu Yuanzhang?" ”

?“ If our army holds on to Chuzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely refuse to make peace with our army. Moreover, although our army is willing to give up Chuzhou, if Zhu Yuanzhang does not exchange the corresponding things, then even if our army hands over Chuzhou, it will not be an 'intact' Chuzhou! ”

"What does Yunqi Military Master want Zhu Yuanzhang to exchange for Chuzhou?"

"Dingyuan !!"

Li Ke's voice was not loud, but it was shocking, and Lu Zhen asked with an incredible face: "What the Yunqi military master said is the important town of Dingyuan that belongs to Anfeng Road?" Dingyuan is Zhu Yuanzhang's foundation, how can he be willing to exchange it? Yunqi Military Division, are you thinking about it? ”

Lu Zhen's doubts also exist in Qi Hong, Han Meng, Zhang Qi and other generals, in their opinion, it is not cost-effective to exchange the foundation land for a jurisdiction that will inevitably be in hand.

However, for Deng Yu, who has a modern soul, he quite agrees with Li Ke's point of view, and it can be seen from Zhu Yuanzhang's rush to compete with Deng Yu for Chuzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang has sketched out in his heart: to capture Chuzhou, cross the Yangtze River, and occupy the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Jiankang City (Yuan called Jiqing) as the blueprint of the foundation.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, Chuzhou is a battleground for action, and although Dingyuan is important, as the center of gravity of Zhu Yuanzhang's forces shifts to the south of the Yangtze River, the importance of Dingyuan will be greatly reduced.

What's more critical is that Zhu Yuanzhang is not sure whether Deng Yu is the same as him, and wants to use Chuzhou as a springboard to capture Jiankang, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, after all, Jiankang, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, is a rare foundation for kings in the south.

Once Zhu Yuanzhang occupies the entire Chuzhou, no matter whether Deng Yu has the intention of using Chuzhou as a springboard to capture Jiankang, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Zhu Yuanzhang will take the lead in seizing Jiankang.

After clarifying his thoughts, Deng Yu agreed with Li Ke's point of view, as for the reason, he did not elaborate, there are some things that can only be understood, after all, crossing this matter is too mysterious for the ancients!

The next day, Deng Yu sent the quite eloquent Song Chenyu (Zi Zixuan) to the Zhu military camp for peace talks, and after arriving at the Zhu military camp, a soldier reported to Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Dayu.

Xu Da heard that the person who came was a scribe in his thirties, and thought of the news he received the day before yesterday about the battle situation in Gaoyou, and immediately guessed Deng Yu's plan.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Da suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang that he would not see Deng Yu's envoy for the time being, and that he would be summoned again in the coming day after making some preparations.

Zhu Yuanzhang adopted Xu Da's suggestion and ordered the messenger to reply, saying that Zhu Jun was discussing important matters and would meet again in two days.

Song Chenyu listened to the words conveyed by the messenger, as if he had expected it, and without the slightest resentment, he immediately got on the horse and rushed back to Chuzhou City.

Two days later, Song Chenyu went to the Zhu military camp again to ask for a meeting, Xu Da went out of the village to greet and introduced Song Chenyu into the village, Song Chenyu saw that the Zhu soldiers who were training in the village were energetic and their morale was high, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Xu Da saw Song Chenyu's reaction in his eyes, and was quite satisfied in his heart, and then introduced Song Chenyu to Zhu Yuanzhang, and after sitting down as the guest of honor, Song Chenyu arched his hand and said: "The cities in the west of Yangzhou Road are the territories obtained by the bloody battle of the Tartars of my broken army, Zhu Zhenfu is also an anti-Yuan rebel army, but he sent troops to rob the territory of our army, which is really unreasonable, and I hope that Zhu Zhenfu will retire as soon as possible, so as not to cause war to recur and hurt innocent people!" ”

"Hahaha!!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately burst into laughter, Song Chenyu's eyes were calm, listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's laughter full of disdain, his face did not change.

Zhu Yuanzhang finished laughing, got up and looked at Song Chenyu, and shouted coldly: "In troubled times, the so-called winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, Deng Yu has no ability to protect the territory, he is incompetent, how can he blame others!" What's more, even if I return the city I occupy, Zhang Shicheng will attack with his male troops, and it will be difficult for him to protect the territory he has won! ”

"In this way, Deng Yu might as well lead the crowd to take refuge in me, I will be able to defeat Zhang Shicheng with the soldiers of the two families, immediately unify the rivers and mountains, and achieve the cause of the king, I can give him all the land today!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was ambitious, and as soon as he said it, Song Chenyu's face suddenly changed, and he angrily scolded this Zhu Yuanzhang for being too arrogant.

However, Song Chenyu knew that he had a great responsibility, so he suppressed his anger and continued: "My marshal took 'expelling the Tartars and restoring the Han family' as his responsibility, and fought against the Chuzhou Tartars, and was deeply loved by the people of the Han family!! ”

"Hahaha, what a sentence of jade burning! Deng Yu and Zhang Shicheng have a grudge against killing his brother, now Zhang Shicheng's strength has increased greatly, and he will definitely send troops to retaliate, Deng Yue is about to be defeated, and he dares to ask me to withdraw from the army, today I will behead you first and send it to Zhang Shicheng as a letter of nomination! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily, and the soldiers on the left and right immediately captured Song Chenyu, in this regard, Song Chenyu stood tall and proud, without fear of death.
