Chapter 290: Sorrow

Lin Qi gathered ghosts into a wind, a big victory, Chen Youliang still did not hurt his muscles and bones, the next time the two sides continued to fight, after this battle, Zhu Yuanzhang was not on the beaten side, Chen Youliang also really calmed down, to this point, it is still useless to summon people and water monkeys, only sent Zhang Dingbian to Hudong to fight, although this battle is not as fierce as yesterday, but it is also cruel and ferocious, the two sides have been fighting until dusk, before they each withdrew from the battlefield.

In the battle of Hudong, although Zhang Dingbian fought bravely, he lost more than 150 large and small warships and more than 20,000 Han soldiers. Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the power of the great victory, the soldiers used their lives, the loss was less than half of Zhang Dingbian's, and he also captured 7,000 prisoners of war, Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers were not as many as Chen Youliang, and made a heavy promise, not to blame for the past, defeated Chen Youliang and had a heavy reward, and killed the generals cleanly, leaving only the soldiers, and scattered to the barracks under his command, so that Zhu Yuanzhang's losses were even smaller.

Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang, both of them are a generation of heroes, more like a lifelong enemy, no one will give up, after the two wars, the goddess of victory has begun to show a slight smile to Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang's luck reversed, even the prince Chen Shan'er was on the shore to grab food, Zhu Wenzheng and Deng Yu were ambushed, and were killed in the southeast of Hongdu, Chen Youliang heard it, was very sad, vomited blood.

Then Liu Bowen made a conspiracy, he had already figured out Chen Youliang's suspicious surname, and picked out some of the prisoners of war captured in the war and put them back into the Han army...... He also said that the morale of Zhu Yuanzhang's generals is high, there are fierce generals, Xu Da, often meet spring, and there are more strange people and strange people to help, and the world's famous ghost master is in the army......

The prisoners of war were already timid, and after returning to the Han army, they would hear what they saw, and they would say that the Han army was very moved, and the big battle a few days ago was still vivid, and many people heard the sound of ghosts crying, and the northeast wind was quite weird, and there was no wind elsewhere, just for a while, there was a gust of cloudy wind, only blowing towards the seven fireboats, and some people saw a white flag erected in the woods on the shore, and a huge ghost flag was written on it, so all kinds of strange legends spread, and the Han army was more worried.

Chen Youliang knew that it was Zhu Yuanzhang's ghost, but he was helpless, now that the morale of the army is low, can he still kill these Han soldiers who have returned? He is a hero, not a fool, and he knows that he must not do this at this moment, otherwise the military heart will really be out of control, but the evil breath in his chest makes him uncomfortable. So he passed down a decree to kill all the captured prisoners of war under Zhu Yuanzhang, and let Zhu Chongba see what would happen if he was an enemy of Chen Youliang.

Chen Youliang killed all the captured Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers, but the soldiers of the Han army weighed in their hearts, and after the comparison, they all felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was more benevolent than Chen Youliang, because he did not kill innocents indiscriminately, but treated each other well and sent him back to the barracks, but Chen Youliang killed prisoners, and it was ominous to kill prisoners since ancient times, so the army's morale was even more sluggish.

Zhu Yuanzhang's intention is very clear, entangled Chen Youliang, consumed all his strength, and finally fought a decisive battle, Chen Youliang also sensed Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions, and convened all the civil and military generals to discuss, what should be the next step? Whether to temporarily avoid the edge and go back to reorganize the army and come back, or fight to the death with Zhu Yuanzhang, at this time, Chen Youliang was also a little undecided. If it drags on any longer, the military rations will run out, and the soldiers under them will not even be able to eat, and I am afraid it will be even more difficult to clean up.

Chen Youliang since he killed Xu Shouhui and established the Han Dynasty, he has always been a word, never listened to the persuasion of others, and was scheming and ruthless, if anyone said what he didn't like to hear, there was only a dead end, and the military generals also wondered, they had never listened to us in the past, but now they want to discuss what method, isn't it a test of everyone's loyalty? No one dared to be the first bird, and everyone was silent.

Chen Youforgave Wen Anger, but at this time, he endured the surname and waited, and said a few words of solidarity in the same boat, before someone dared to open his mouth to put forward his opinion, and it was two people who made the suggestion, one was General Youjinwu, who suggested burning the ship, abandoning the ship and landing, and going straight to Hunan. General Zuo Jinwu advocated fighting to the end and never retreating.

The reason why the two Jinwu generals dared to speak was because the two were the generals in charge of the security of Emperor Chen Youliang, that is, the so-called henchmen, but the two people had two opinions, who should they listen to? Chen Youliang also couldn't make up his mind, so he turned his head to look at Zhang Dingbian, and Zhang Dingbian carefully asked Chen Youliang to make a judgment. Chen Youliang groaned for a while, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Just follow what General Jinwu said." ”

Chen Youliang brushed his sleeves away after speaking, which frightened General Youwu, Chen Youliang brushed his sleeves away, his face was gloomy, indicating that he was dissatisfied with him, as long as Chen Youliang was dissatisfied with whom, who he remembered, there was absolutely no good fruit to eat, he served Chen Youliang for a few years, and he had already figured out his spleen and surname clearly, and he retreated worriedly, thinking left and right, and not serving, anyway, now Chen Youliang is also in a bad situation, and you are either killed in battle, or you find a chance to kill him, so he simply took the people and horses and took advantage of the night to defect to Zhu Yuanzhang.

As soon as he ran away, General Zuo Jinwu was also frightened, and those who agreed with his opinions ran away, and his opinions were not adopted, wouldn't it be even worse? In a panic, he also rushed all the way to surrender Zhu Yuanzhang in the north. General Zuo Jinwu and General Right Jinwu surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang one after another, which made the Han army panic, and even these two henchmen fled, what did they do when they stayed?

If it weren't for Zhang Dingbian to stabilize the morale of the army, I am afraid that it would be dispersed in a hurry, to this point, Chen Youliang was extremely frightened, and even more suspicious of his subordinate generals, Zhang Dingbian saw this situation, and hurriedly came to Chen Youliang, and said: "Your Majesty, you can't drag it out any longer, if you drag it out any longer, everyone will run out, and it will be even more unfavorable at that time!" ”

Chen Youliang was silent for a while, and sighed: "Taiwei, now I can understand that even if everyone in the world leaves me, you won't, how lucky I am to have you by my side?" We've come to this point, and you'll tell me the truth, should we go north or go south? ”

Zhang Dingbian grew up with Chen Youliang since he was a child, and he is a sworn brother, who turns his back on Chen Youliang in this world Zhang Dingbian will not have two hearts, Chen Youliang has a cold surname all his life, but there are such loyal brothers around him, which is really a great irony.

At this point, Zhang Dingbian also let go, and said to Chen Youliang with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that he should go north and not go south, now the soldiers have no fighting spirit and the military spirit is unstable, and the road is far away from here to the south, what Weichen is worried about is that His Majesty has not yet reached the southern end, I am afraid that most of the soldiers have already dispersed, and there are still Zhu Yuanzhang's people and horses on the shore of the lake, Your Majesty's future is really worrying." ”

At this moment, only Zhang Dingbian can say this, Chen Youliang looked at his teary eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You don't live up to me, I will not live up to you, Aiqing rest assured, we haven't lost anything, I still have 300 heads under my command, 800 water monkeys, and they will definitely be able to protect us all the way north, but now the morale of the sergeant is unstable, and you have a lot of prestige in the army, so I count on you!" ”

Zhang Dingbian suddenly realized why Chen Youliang has not been a leader and water monkey, because he doesn't believe in his soldiers, Chen Youliang has not used these monsters a few times over the years, he just wants to keep them behind, but Zhang Dingbian can't help but feel a chill in his heart, aren't the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Han army inferior to those monsters under the water?

Zhang Dingbian thought so, but he also blamed Chen Youliang, the first two battles were not that he didn't use people and water monkeys, but that he was too conceited, Chen Youliang relied on a big ship and a lot of soldiers, and his advantages were too much stronger than Zhu Yuanzhang, so why drive these monsters to help? In his mind, as long as there were two charges, Zhu Yuanzhang would collapse, but he never thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was so tenacious that he forced him back from two attacks, and it was a failure at that time, even if he used the human head and water monkey, it would be useless, not to mention that he was still afraid of Lin Qi and the tiger head, these monsters were his life-saving things, and he didn't dare to use them lightly until the easy moment.

Now it has also reached a critical moment, Chen Youliang has no worries, he wants to go north to defeat Zhu Yuanzhang, reorganize the army and people, and then come to fight with him, as long as he Chen Youliang does not die, even if he is defeated hundreds of times? The battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu back then was not a repeated defeat, and the last stop was the final stop.

With so many thoughts passing by in a flash, Chen Youliang lifted his spirits and said to Zhang Dingbian: "Captain, you go and pass down my will and inform the whole army that as long as you can break through Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet and bravely kill the enemy, when I return to the national capital, the original generals will all enter the court as important ministers, the original officials will all be promoted to generals, and the original soldiers will be rewarded with a thousand taels." ”

Zhang Dingbian took the order and left, and under the heavy reward, the army's heart was really much more excited, Chen Youliang heard the sound of cheers outside, took a deep breath, waved his hand to let everyone around him retreat, paced out of the cabin, looked at the vast lake, secretly recited a mantra, summoned the five gods, and said softly: "Ming said that I will go north to fight with Zhu Yuanzhang, hope that the five gods will protect me, and when I return to the capital, I will build a big temple of Wutong, seal the gods, and shape the golden body." ”

Hearing this, the five evil gods shook their heads lightly and rushed towards Chen Youliang, Chen Youliang suddenly snorted coldly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he snorted five times in succession, until the five evil gods disappeared into his body, he barely stood up straight, his body was shrouded in black qi, and the demonic aura was soaring......

The night grew darker.
