Chapter 250: The Battle Advances
On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, Xia Kai is at the head of Xiangyang City, open your eyes and look around to see the scenery!
The cold winter wind blows.
Xia Kai felt that all this seemed to be familiar!
At this time, the snowflakes fall.
It's snowing in Yangyang Mansion!
Xia Kai's previous idea was very right, and each soldier was given three pairs of gloves, linen gloves!
In this way, everyone fights, and in the winter, the skin will not crack.
The small three pairs of gloves have greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the soldiers!
Don't look at the gloves This thing is small, but the warmth is in the hearts of the people, and soon, it was actually learned by Wang Baobao's army, strictly speaking, it was learned by Wang Baobao, and the soldiers were also given gloves, in this cold winter weather, their soldiers finally brought gloves!
Zhang Shicheng, a native of Taizhou!
Now, it has been called King Cheng in Gaoyou, the country name Zhou, and the year name God bless! Now the territory has been as far as Songjiang, Changshu, Huzhou, Changzhou and other places!
The divided side has a wide territory, and it is the most stable ruling side at present!
Xia Kai has read the Three Kingdoms and estimates that Zhang Shicheng's strength is very similar to Sun Quan back then!
Can't move easily!
Xia Kai still remembered that in a tavern back then, the man who killed a dart master with a sword and asked other darts to send ill-gotten gains to Zhang Shicheng.
It can be seen how popular Zhang Shicheng is with the characters in the rivers and lakes.
Xia Kai felt that this was not necessarily a good thing, maybe Zhang Shicheng was a real cow, but it could also be a hypocrite.
Why?
Xia Kai still remembers that in "Blue Blood Sword", the military advisors Li Yan and Yuan Chengzhi are optimistic about Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, and assist him, who knows that after Li Zicheng ascended the throne, people were completely corrupted by power and completely changed!
At that time, Li Yan wrote a set of nursery rhymes for the children in Kyoto, what to welcome the king, what to eat and drink without worrying about the king, and so on!
It's a pity that after King Chuang arrived in Kyoto and became emperor, he completely changed!
This is a good example.
That was the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty!
Now, it is the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the same is true for Zhang Shicheng, and now, many people in the rivers and lakes support Zhang Shicheng, but what is Zhang Shicheng?
Xia Kai wasn't sure at all!
But what is certain is that Zhang Shicheng is the richest of all the rebel generals!
Because he has a large number of salt lords under his command! Zhang Shicheng and his younger brother Zhang Shiyi, Zhang Shide, Zhang Shixin, and Li Bosheng and other eighteen people led the Yanding Uprising, Xia Kai knew, and later called it the Eighteen Biandan Uprising in history!
Zhang Shicheng is the hero of the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty, in the later period, his younger brother was captured by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Shicheng chose to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty under the attack of Zhu Yuanzhang and Fang Guozhen and Wang Baobao, but soon, he openly opposed the Yuan Dynasty again, and finally hanged himself, Xia Kai remembered that he was close to fifty years old, but now, according to the informant, Zhang Shicheng is in his fifties, that is, the history of this world has changed!
Times have changed!
However, Zhang Shicheng's wealth is obvious to all!
Bing, by what do you gather?
First of all, of course, it is military rations!
Like the Wuhu Chaos period, many people say that the women of the Central Plains are used as military rations, commonly known as two-legged sheep, and this legend does not know whether it is true or not. But Xia Kai has palpitations! After reading these words.
Xia Kai himself is a person who doesn't know much about history and knows a little about it!
But I also love to read historical stories!
This matter, in fact, after Xia Kai saw it, he was deeply impressed!
Xia Kai is here in Xiangyang Mansion, and last time, part of the military rations were burned, and the losses were great!
This time, Xia Kai sent someone he trusted to guard the grain and grass!
Xia Kai suffered a loss last time, suffered a defeat, and knew the importance of grain and grass!
Food is too important!
In addition, one person that Xia Kai pays special attention to is Fang Guozhen.
Fang Guozhen, although he is brave and good at fighting, he has no great ambitions!
The first time Xia Kai heard about Fang Guozhen was in the history of the Ming Dynasty, but when he came to this world, Xia Kai learned about Fang Guozhen's movements from the bitter head Tuo Fan Yao!
Fang Guozhen was the first to raise an army against the Yuan, but this person was capricious, Xia Kai knew that in the history of the Ming Dynasty, he surrendered the Yuan soldiers many times, and led the Yuan soldiers to attack Zhang Shicheng, seven battles and seven victories!
Zhang Shicheng, who was beaten, had no choice but to surrender!
Then, Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng both rebelled against the Yuan again, this period of history is very interesting!
And now, on this historical line, the national treasures of the eastern part of Zhejiang are still fighting fiercely with the Yuan soldiers!
When Wang Baobao attacked Xiangyang Mansion, the people of Pingnan Wangfu were attacking Fang Guozhen!
Xia Kai asked his subordinates, Peng Yingyu and others, to pay attention to Fang Guozhen's movements at any time!
In addition, the southwest is also vigilant against Zhu Yuanzhang and Xia Kai!
On the nineteenth day of the lunar month, Xia Kai and the left and right envoys of Guangming, the dragon king Dai Qisi, the blue-winged bat king Wei Yixiao, and the white-eyed eagle king Yin Tianzheng together, as well as Ji Xiaofu and Pei Jinyi, discussed the military situation!
The situation is chaotic at the moment!
Since the beginning of winter, the Yuan soldiers of Pingnan Wangfu have been fighting with Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng, and Wang Baobao, after attacking Xiangyang Mansion, withdrew his troops halfway and attacked Fang Guozhen directly!
On the other hand, it is Xu Shouhui's death!
Xu Shouhui's head was given to Xia Kai by Zhu Yuanzhang!
This incident shocked Xia Kai!
And many of Xu Shouhui's loyal old subordinates also regarded Xia Kai as a thorn in the flesh!
Xu Shouhui's old subordinates were divided into three parts, the first part surrendered and surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Xia Kai ordered Zhu Yuanzhang to transfer these 10,000 soldiers and horses back to Xiangyang Mansion and incorporate them into his own army!
The second part is the surrender of Chen Youliang!
Chen Youliang and Xu Shouhui have an indescribable connection, in fact, Peng Yingyu also knows Xu Shouhui.
Xia Kai vaguely remembered that in the original timeline, Peng Yingyu and his apprentice Zou Pusheng were both Xu Shouhui's military advisors or something!
But now it's not in this world line!
These remnants of Xu Shouhui, there are about 60,000 people, and they have taken refuge in Chen Youliang one after another!
In addition, Xu Shouhui has a big general named Ni Wenjun!
This Ni Wenjun is not a good person, but he has many subordinates, and there is a saying that the general will not be subject to the order of the foreign monarch!
Ni Wenjun has been a general for many days, so there are a lot of loyal people under him!
Therefore, many people followed Ni Wenjun, about 50,000 people. These days, the remnants of the army are gradually gathering!
Why did the soldiers gather when they were scattered?
Because I don't have anything to eat, when I am a soldier and fights, I have food to eat!
The so-called gathering troops with grain is this truth!
In the spring of the second year, Xia Kai's subordinates, led by Peng Yingyu and Xu Da, captured the area near Xiangyang!
Then, the news of Fang Guozhen's surrender came!
Xia Kai calculated the date, and felt that it was not accurate, this timeline may seem to have caused the whole situation to be chaotic because of his own appearance!
Fang Guozhen should have surrendered a long time ago, but only now!
