The Great Song Army and the Great Han Army encountered at Poyang Lake, the Great Han Army had a large number of ships, and the Great Song Army was at a disadvantage. The Great Song Dynasty army tun the army at the mouth of the lake, occupied the terrain advantage, held the enemy for more than a month, surrendered with Liao Yongzhong, and fired outside, once the battle, moving like thunder, the army of Chen Youliang was defeated at the mouth of the lake.
"A gentleman is not different, and he is good at fake things! (Xunzi * persuasion)" Shi Nai'an, the secretary of the Criminal Department, praised: "Now that Chen Youliang's water army has lost, our army has controlled the right to control the water of Poyang Lake, and it is time to divide troops to attack and plunder the land on the west bank of Poyang Lake, and the land of the lake is all owned by my Great Song Dynasty!" ā
Chen Youliang led the remnants of the army of more than 100,000 to retreat to Jiangzhou, and the Miao American army that attacked Anqing heard that Chen Youliang had a fiasco, and before the Great Song Dynasty Navy went out of Poyang Lake to intercept its rear road, it had been vigilantly withdrawn from the battlefield, and the 50,000 army basically did not suffer much loss.
"The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen!" Hao Ren said: "Although Chen Youliang was defeated in Poyang Lake, his troops Zhang Bixian and Zhang Dingbian are still there, and they should not be careless to underestimate the enemy. ā
Hao Ren gave an order, leaving Liao Yongzhong and Li Zongke to clean up the aftermath of the battlefield, and the main force of the Chinese army crossed Poyang Lake, divided into left and right roads, and killed Jiangzhou.
One way, the privy envoy Zhang Poyu was marshal of the Anqing Army and the navy Yu Tong Navy, took the right road, locked the Yangtze River, and outflanked the right flank of Jiangzhou.
The other army, led by Hao Ren himself, with Wu Liuqi, the governor of the Jiangfang Army, as the vanguard, walked the Xunyang River and killed directly under the city of Jiangzhou.
Chen Youliang's army was defeated at Poyang Lake, and China was shaken, and the northern and southern armies of Chang Yuchun and Wu Liujiu, relying on the military might of the Middle Route Army, pacified Raozhou and Xinzhou respectively.
In the south, Ou Puxiang of the Raozhou Army of the Great Han Dynasty surrendered to Chang Yuchun with the land of Raozhou, and in the north, Ding Pulang of the Xinzhou Army of the Han Dynasty surrendered to Wu Liujiu with the land of Xinzhou, and the soldiers and horses of the three roads have achieved gratifying results.
When Chen Youliang was fighting, he encountered a musket in his face, and the lead bullet pierced through his left cheek, and two molars were dropped.
"Hao thief thirteen, insult me too much! Hiss-" Chen Youliang's roar at his ministers touched the wound on his cheek, and he couldn't help but cover the wound with his hand, and said: "Now that the Han Navy is lost in Poyang Lake, Ding Pulang and Ou Puxiang are two cheap bones, and they are thieves from the ground, and now Hao Thief Thirteen is attacking with a three-way army, how to break the enemy, the Zhongqing family has a good plan!" ā
The ministers of the Han Dynasty were frightened and looked at each other, but there was no good way to deal with it.
National teacher Zou Pusheng, dressed in a Taoist robe, carrying an iron sword on his back, with demonic aura in his eyebrows, went out of the class and said: "The world is a Ming family, Hao Ren has always been kind, if His Majesty surrenders to the emperor and surrenders to the Great Song Dynasty as an enemy, he will definitely not lose his wealth and wealth, and the back road of the ministers will also be preserved, please think twice!" ā
Zou Pusheng was born as a blacksmith, and once helped Xu Shouhui as the emperor of Tianwan with his master Peng Yingyu, and he had a lofty position in the Southern Ming Sect, and was good at protecting himself, even if Chen Youliang killed Xu Shouhui to stand on his own, he did not lose his position.
As soon as Zou Pusheng said this, the ministers of civil and military affairs, forced by the military might of the Great Song Dynasty, nodded their heads one after another, expressing their support for the view of surrender.
Chen Youliang is a hero in troubled times, the Red Turban Army arrived in his hometown in the past, the whole family, he was the only one to participate in the Red Turban Army, known as ambitious, and now he is unwilling, seeing that the ministers are like this, knowing that the army's heart has been in chaos, he can't fight Hao Ren, and he can't help but feel desolate in his heart.
"I braved the disapproval of the world to create the Han Dynasty, not for my own selfish interests, but for the wealth of the Qing family, and now the war situation is unfavorable, but the Qing Qing persuaded me to surrender the thief with the land, which is really sad and lamentable!" Chen Youliang saw that the general trend had gone, and he was unwilling, and defended himself.
"It's down, it's really worth killing!" Chen Youliang's sworn brother, Zhang Dingbian, the captain of the Han Dynasty, said with his voice like a bell, and said with his sword in his hand: "The land of my Han Dynasty is still vast, and most of the land of Huguang and Jiangxi is still in our hands. Your Majesty is rich and noble for you, but your Majesty has asked Your Majesty to be a thief, and then there is a great rebellion, the sword in my hand, otherwise I will greet him on the head! ā
Brothers in battle, fathers and sons in battle. Chen Youliang was able to stabilize the usurped throne, and the two sworn brothers contributed a lot, and the three brothers who swore Chen Youliang in Chuyang tacitly played a double reed in front of the ministers.
Zhang Dingbian strongly advocated it, and with the sword in his hand, the ministers trembled and obeyed orders.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Chen Youliang's other sworn brother, Prime Minister Zhang Bixian, said: "The soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, although the three-way attack is huge, but it is not invulnerable!" Wu Liujiu's army in Jiangbei, although it captured Xinzhou, is a remote division, if the above generals command tens of thousands of troops, they will definitely be able to base the enemy in the east of Xishui, all into Hankou, for the time being, you can worry about it! ā
The land of Xishui, all the mountainous areas, is the original capital of the Tianwan regime, for the Han army, the mass base is better, if you send troops and horses to the enemy, Wu Liujiu's less than 30,000 partial divisions, it is indeed difficult to break through, and it is easy to be gathered and annihilated by the Han army.
Chen Youliang saw that the two brothers came out to help him, and he said the truth, and he felt quite confident in his heart, and secretly admired his unique vision, and befriended these two brothers early for his own use. And the ministers of the Han Dynasty, who were guaranteed the safety of the capital, also seemed to see hope in despair.
Zhang Bixian said: "The main force of the Great Song Dynasty is all in the south of the Yangtze River, and the important towns in the south of the Yangtze River are nothing more than Jiangzhou and Yuzhang, as long as our army can send elite soldiers to ensure that these two cities are not lost, they can hold the door, even if the Great Song Army has millions of elite soldiers, it cannot go west and attack the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, the Great Han Army still occupies the geographical advantage of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, as long as the two hold on for a few months, the Han can send the army of the whole country, turn around and fight again, at that time the Great Song Army veteran is tired!" ā
Chen Youliang's two sworn brothers, one is the prime minister, the other is the captain, one is the chief official, and the other is the military. ā
Zhang Dingbian held the handle of the knife, Zhang Bixian said that the head was the way, and the ministers said that they were fighting to the death, but no one dared to raise objections again.
After discussion, the Han monarchs and ministers finally stabilized their positions, and Zhang Dingbian, the Tai Lieutenant, guarded Jiangzhou, and sent Prime Minister Zhang Bi to go out of the town of Yuzhang first, and the general Miao Mei sent troops north to Wu Liujiu, while Chen Youliang himself, who was handsome and handsome, returned to Hankou to stabilize his position, recruited strong men from 16 to 60 years old across the country, and assembled to prepare for another battle.
