Chapter 245: Arrangement

Now that he has made up his mind to fight a decisive battle, the next thing is to discuss how to fight a decisive battle, such a confidential matter, Zhu Yuanzhang left Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Feng Sheng...... At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smile on his face and said, "Everyone, I will introduce you to a strange person who really has great skills." As he spoke, he dragged Lin Qi over, pushed him to the front and said, "This is Lin Qi, Brother Lin, and I are old acquaintances." ”

Lin Qi took off his helmet, clasped his fists and saluted everyone, Chang Yuchun rubbed his eyes, and cheered: "Brother Lin, why are you here?" I haven't heard from you all these years, but you want to mess with me......" As soon as Chang Yuchun opened his mouth, everyone was shocked, and even Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lin Qi.

Lin Qi smiled: "Brother Chang, we meet again." ”

Chang Yuchun is the first general under Zhu Yuanzhang, to the fifteenth year of Zhu Yuanzhang, to be the striker, to defeat the enemy, try to say that he can be 100,000 people, rampant in the world, the army called Chang 100,000, everyone never expected that Chang Yuchun actually has a relationship with Lin Qi, and it seems that the friendship is not shallow, Chang Yuchun saw Lin Qi, couldn't help but be excited, and came to Lin Qi's side, just like the little beggar back then, Lin Qi's heart was also warm, but seeing the surprise in everyone's eyes, he said: "Brother Chang, the marshal has a big matter to discuss, to be discussed, It's not too late for you and my brother to talk! ”

Chang Yuchun smiled and said, "Yes, yes, after the discussion, you and my brother will go to drink." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face flashed a hint of gloom, he didn't expect Lin Qi to know Chang Yuchun, and it seemed to be far more intimate than himself, four important people under him, Lin Qi knew two, it was too unexpected, his heroic mentality, the dark color flashed by, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Brother Lin to know Chang Manzi, and he drank tonight, but he had to call me, otherwise we would discuss it all night." ”

Everyone laughed, Zhu Yuanzhang introduced Xu Da and Li Shanchang to Lin Qi, and several people greeted each other, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Brother Lin came to me and brought a strange soldier, including Leng Qian's 3,000 monkey army, and 300 grass head gods. ”

Li Shanchang suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang first recover Taiping to contain the enemy, Feng Sheng suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang personally command Jiankang to defend against the enemy, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, his naval army and Chen Youliang are too different, if Chen Youliang is not lured ashore, he can only be beaten Zhu Yuanzhang, not to mention that Lin Qi's strange army must be used well, if so, Li Shanchang and Feng Sheng's proposals are not in line with his mind.

After a long groan, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Taiping City is deeply entrenched, if Chen Youliang didn't have a huge ship at that time and couldn't attack on the water, Taiping would not have fallen at all." If we go to besiege the city now, it will not be possible to take it in a short time. Moreover, the thief army and the water army are ten times larger than our army, and the troops are stationed under the fortified city, and they cannot take it when they advance, and they cannot retreat to help, so they will definitely suffer. If I go out of the city to oppose the enemy by myself, and the enemy army pins me down with a partial division, and leads our main force around in circles, Chen Youliang will go straight down the river to Jiankang with a boat division, and he can reach the city in half a day. At that time, even if our infantry and cavalry can return to help immediately, it will be a hundred miles of battle, exhaustion, and it is a taboo in the art of war. ”

Lin Qi didn't understand the military formation, this kind of strategic arrangement, he couldn't interject at all, he listened quietly, after Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he turned his head to look at him and asked, "What do you think of Brother Lin?" Lin Qi was stunned, he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to ask him for his opinion, presumably because he didn't want to embarrass himself too much, he groaned for a while, and then said: "You are all soldiers, I am just a reckless person, I don't know anything about the art of war, but I understand a truth, the enemy is strong and I am weak, I must not fight with him head-on, I can only surprise him, there is a chance of victory, I have three thousand monkey troops in my hands, three hundred grass-headed gods, and the big battle has a very small role, but if it is unprepared, only take Chen Youliang, but it is quite a chance to win, Chen Youliang is dead, The Han he established fell apart, and as for how to arrange the arrangement, he didn't dare to say much. ”

Lin Qi's words were right, but they were almost the same as not saying anything, everyone was smiling, but Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Good!" Said: "Chen Youliang's naval army is powerful, it is bound to use its advantages, his naval army will definitely pass through the Yangtze River, enter the Qinhuai River and reach the Yingtian city wall, there is no obstacle along the way, if he is really allowed to take this waterway, our army will inevitably face him head-on, so it will be greatly disadvantageous to us, and we must not let him take this road." ”

Everyone looked at each other with a wry smile, everyone knew that Chen Youliang couldn't be allowed to take this waterway, but the fool knew that it was most beneficial for him to take this waterway, was Chen Youliang a fool? Of course not, why don't people listen to you and don't take this path? But although he thought so in his heart, no one said it, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang still had to make up his mind for such a major decision.

The map is laid on the case, and Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fall on one place, Longwan, Longwan in the north to Shangyuanmen and Lion Rock in the east, which is a low-lying area that has become a land after the Yangtze River has moved westward. To attack the city from Longwan, Chen Youliang had to leave the ship and go ashore, and then pass through a large open area, which also has many swamps and wetlands. Lime Hill and Lion Rock on both sides, as well as the Reed Beach, can hide ambushes. The three thousand monkey soldiers in Lin Qi's hands, the three hundred grass head gods are hidden in them, Chen Youliang categorically can't find it, and only by ambushing and fighting here can he have a chance of winning.

This idea has been in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind for a long time, and Lin Qi's arrival has made him firm in this idea, and now, what he has to do is how to lure Chen Youliang here, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time, raised his head, showed a smile on his face, and said: "Let's go back first, and give Brother Lin the wind at night!" After saying that, he waved his hand, everyone said goodbye, Chang Yuchun was excited, and was about to come up and pull Lin Qi, but Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed Lin Qi and scolded with a smile: "What's the hurry, I still have something to discuss with Brother Lin, you go down first, go to your mansion to drink at night, take out all the good wine from your house, go, go." ”

Chang Yuchun said with a smile: "Marshal, you can say it, come to my house at night, and we will see you or leave." Zhu Yuanzhang waved him down, and when everyone left, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to Longwan on the map, and asked Lin Qi in a deep voice: "Brother Lin, if I lure Chen Youliang here, how sure are you that you can take off his head?" ”

Lin Qi was silent for a moment and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhu, Chen Youliang's army is strong, and there are many capable people under him, that ghost ancestor of the Changle Sect is a difficult character, and there are five gods to protect him, and there are eight hundred heads of people, three thousand water monkeys, this battle, I can only say that I can do my best, whether I can take his surname or not, it is still unknown, even if I can't play the whole skill this time, at least I know his details, I am waiting to find a way to deal with it, and I will always be invincible." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, what Lin Qi said was also true, no one dared to say that this battle would be able to play the whole battle, this point Zhu Yuanzhang also knew well, and asked his subordinates to call Kang Maocai, Kang Maocai was the general of Chen Yexian's subordinates who had surrendered and rebelled before. Zhu Yuanzhang got straight to the point and said: "I heard that you have always had a good relationship with Chen Youliang, and now that you have joined the court, I really want him to come quickly." You pretend to act as his internal response, and send someone to bring him a letter to ask him to come quickly, and it is better to let his troops attack in three ways to weaken him. ”

Kang Mao is only the only one, still a little confused, and said: "There is a man in my family, who has been working in Chen Youliang's house in the past, let him send a letter, and the other party will have no doubt...... However, most of us are now afraid of the arrival of the Han army, so why lure the other side to come to us to fight? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "If it goes on like this, Chen Youliang will join forces with Zhang Shicheng, and the two will conspire, how can they deal with it!" If you break the thief first, Zhang Shicheng will be bold when she hears it! Kang Mao suddenly acted according to the plan.

Sending Kang Maocai away, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Brother Lin just came to me, he hasn't slept well, he works so hard, it's all the old brother's fault, let's go and disturb Chang Manzi, you don't know, Chang Manzi is the best wine, whenever he captures a place, he always loots good wine from all over the world, but he is a stingy person, even I can't drink it in my mouth, now it is said that the blessing of Brother Tollin, if he doesn't drink it, he Chang Manzi feels distressed, and he vows not to give up." ”

Lin Qi didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to change so quickly, he was still a deep marshal leading the army, and he changed into a bold man in a moment, the speed of the transformation was really impressive, and he couldn't help but think of the time when he met Zhu Yuanzhang, when Zhu Yuanzhang was just a monk who was not full of food and clothing, in order to steal the Jialan statue in the temple, he dared to kill the welcoming monk, and his voice did not move, now he has been trained for so many years in the sea of corpses and blood, and it is even more amazing, maybe only such a person can clean up this broken river and mountain, Only such a person can sit firmly in the world and return peace to the world.

Lin Qi also smiled, although Zhu Yuanzhang has changed a lot, he Lin Qi is not an ignorant boy who just came out of the bottom of the Yellow River, over the years, people have become calm, and they can also be quiet, pampered and not surprised, when the two first met, they were not very close, but now they are holding hands, affectionate like brothers who have known each other for many years.

Zhu Yuanzhang took Lin Qi towards Chang Yuchun's mansion, and asked how to meet Chang Yuchun on the way, Lin Qi smiled and said that when he left Fengyang, he met Chang Yuchun and told Chang Yuchun about the second sister, but the big ghost was possessed, and Chang Yuchun had the soul of a ghost on his body, but he didn't mention a word. only said that Yu Chang Yuchun was just an old acquaintance, and he didn't have much friendship, Lin Qi did this, but he was also afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would be suspicious of Chang Yuchun.

But I didn't expect that Chang Yuchun would take the family to come out early, and the Chang family was even more colorful, and the drums were singing, this formation even Zhu Yuanzhang had never had when he came before, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, this is not much friendship? So what if there is a relationship? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a deep look at Lin Qi. (To be continued.) )
