A few days later, a decree of the king of Han came out in the Hanyang Palace, saying that Yingtian was defeated and the weapons and armor of the soldiers were in short supply, so it was specially announced that the blacksmiths of the people were summoned into the palace to build weapons.

In fact, this is just a trick to cover people's ears, in fact, Chen Youliang learned from the pain, pondered in the palace for a few days, summed up the lessons and lessons, and realized that the last defeat, the main lesson is that he did not make full use of his own naval army, but recklessly let people march from Longwan, but not only did not reap the benefits, but was defeated by the ambush set up by Zhu Yuanzhang, and even affected the pond fish, and even the battleships were burned a lot. This time, he must make good use of the advantages of the fleet, but in view of the drawback that the ship could not be driven after the soldier who drove the ship was killed by random arrows last time, Chen Youliang was determined to seek a solution, so he ordered to solicit a blacksmith.

There are really experts among the blacksmiths in Hanyang City, and Chen Youliang told the blacksmith about his intentions.

After a few blacksmiths summed it up, they drew a few sketches for Chen Youliang, and then submitted them to Chen Youliang for decision.

Chen Youliang took a look, and one of the sketches caught his eye.

I saw that on the sketch, there was a warship, and unlike ordinary warships, this ship was actually three-tiered, and the bottom layer was specially used for paddling. The upper two layers are painted with soldiers and soldiers.

Chen Youliang was amazed, and immediately ordered someone to find the blacksmith who submitted this picture, rewarded him heavily, and then named him to lead the other blacksmiths, and in the fastest time, he built a sample boat for him.

When the blacksmith received the order, he worked day and night with other blacksmiths, and finally built a huge ship in half a month.

Chen Youliang was very excited, and rode a horse with the army to the riverside at the foot of Turtle Mountain from the military camp.

When he came to the riverside, Chen Youliang raised his eyes and was overjoyed. I saw that the blacksmiths worked together to create an extremely terrible warship, which was several feet high and had a deep draft. There are three floors above and below, each of which can be ridden to and fro, and the lower floor is only for rowing, and the upper and lower floors are separated.

This kind of design is extremely scientific, even if the top is turned upside down, the bottom can still maintain momentum, maintain direction, and advance and retreat can be safe. What's even more terrifying is that the outside of each ship is still wrapped in iron sheets, which cannot be penetrated by ordinary rocket arrows.

Chen Youliang was overjoyed, so he ordered the troops who came with him to get on the ship and go to the exercise, and sure enough, they advanced and retreated as expected, and attacked freely.

Extremely satisfied, Chen Youliang ordered people to build many ships of this style according to the style.

After the ship was built, Chen Youliang reorganized the army, went down the river, and came to fight outside Yingtian City.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the navy to fight, and as a result, Zhu Yuanzhang's sailors encountered this kind of strange ship that could not be shot by arrows, and they all suffered a great loss. There were soldiers who couldn't find the opponent's oars and killed them first, so they could only let Chen Youliang's fleet gallop freely in the naval formation, and the naval army suffered repeated defeats.

After fighting several times, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to watch Chen Youliang lead the fleet to rush his naval army to pieces, kill happily, and then leave with great strength.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw it in his eyes, and his heart was about to burst into flames.

But there is still no way to hold Chen Youliang's strange warship.

In the end, he had to hang up the exemption card and let the Han army scold, but he refused to fight.

Chen Youliang saw Zhu Yuanzhang cowering in the city, and he was helpless for a while, but the navy army won several times, which can be regarded as the evil breath of the last battle of Yingtian.

The war is tight, Chu Liuyan and Liu Bowen have summed it up, and it is better to maintain a stalemate with Chen Youliang for the time being, and try to find other places.

The two of them set their eyes on Zhao Qingtai, the general of Chen Youliang who guarded Hongdu, who was the Hongdu Xinfu mentioned by King Teng's Pavilion Preface, and the Hongdu of Yuzhang's Ancient County.

After reporting this intention to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang also agreed.

Liu Bowen had a far-reaching plan, so he ordered someone to carry gold to Hanyang City to bribe the powerful and create false news that Zhao Qingtai was going to rebel.

Chen Youliang didn't believe it, but there were many people who told him, and he couldn't help but have some suspicions about Zhao Qingtai, so he found a lot of faults in Zhao Qingtai's daily official writing, and wanted to knock this person well.

But Zhao Qingtai didn't eat this, and soon fell out with Chen Youliang.

Chen Youliang sent a prison army to keep an eye on Zhao Qingtai, named Jian Jun, in fact, he was a eunuch in Chen Youliang's palace, Zhao Qingtai saw that Chen Youliang actually sent a eunuch to press on his head, and he became more and more dissatisfied with Chen Youliang.

The prison army is not a good thing, he was originally a eunuch, but with the power given to him by Chen Youliang, he was powerful in the army all day long, and he actually pointed fingers at Zhao Qingtai and scolded him at every turn.

Zhao Qingtai felt more and more that Chen Youliang was targeting him, and it was likely that the next step would be to deprive him of his military power.

So when Chu Liuyan and Xu Da were ordered to go to Hongdu to persuade him, Zhao Qingtai knew that he had offended Chen Youliang, if he didn't climb up the pole handed over by Zhu Yuanzhang, he would soon be knocked to the ground by Chen Youliang and stepped on a kick, and at that time, even if he wanted to rebel, he couldn't help himself. It's better to return to Zhu Yuanzhang early while there is still capital now.

After Chu Liuyan met with Xu Da and Zhao Qingtai, and sat down as the guest of honor, Xu Da took the lead in stretching out his hand to Zhao Qingtai and said: "General Zhao, now that you are a pearl secret investment, it is better to turn back as soon as possible and follow the master." ”

Zhao Qingtai sighed and said, "I can't help myself. After all, Chen Youliang is the benefactor of the last general, if the last general rebels against Chen Youliang like this, I am afraid that he will provoke ridicule from the world. ”

Chu Liuyan smiled and said, "If General Zhao ignores the great kindness of the world for the sake of this little kindness and righteousness, then he will make the world laugh." ”

Zhao Qingtai clenched his fists and asked, "Who is this girl, and why did she say this?" ”

Xu Da replied: "This girl is not an outsider, she is Chu Liuyan, a military advisor under the marshal's account." ”

Zhao Qingtai's face changed in vain and said: "That's really thunderous, it turns out to be the famous red-clothed demon." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Qingtai felt that he was a little speechless, and hurriedly stopped talking.

Chu Liuyan smiled and said, "General Zhao doesn't need to be ashamed, I am indeed the red-clothed demon called by the Yuan Lord." ”

Zhao Qingtai was very surprised and asked: "I heard that it was Miss Chu who harmed the Yuanren Jiangshan Society, but why did Miss Chu devote herself to Zhu Yuanzhang's account." ”

Chu Liuyan said with a smile: "The blessing of the heavens, my female stream has become famous, and everyone knows it. However, rumors such as calamity to the country and the people are just words fabricated by the Yuan Court Tartars, so there is no need to say it. Now our Lord is majestic and strategic, rare in the world, and is the Lord of a generation of saints. Capable people from all over the world, salty and unsubdued, although I am not talented, how can I be willing to live behind. In my opinion, although Fang is a group of heroes today, beans cut rivers and mountains, robbers are rampant, and divide the counties, and the only one who can achieve great things is my lord Zhu Yuanzhang. My lord has heard of the general's prestige, and this time my lord ordered me and General Xu Da to come, hoping that General Zhao can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, help my lord to open up a hard-won cause, drive the Tartars of the Yuan Dynasty out of the Central Plains, rebuild mountains and rivers, and enjoy wealth and prosperity together. ”

Zhao Qingtai took the case and said: "Miss Chu's words have won my heart, but now Chen Youliang has become suspicious of me, and sent a prison army to the army, obviously intending to monitor my actions." Thinking about it, the last general once braved the edge for Chen Youliang's relatives, attacked the city, and made many military exploits, but Chen Youliang actually listened to people's words and suspected that I wanted to rebel. The last general's heart is really cold. Since Zhu Yuanzhang is so virtuous and generous, I will be obedient to him and oppose Chen Youliang. ”

When Xu Da heard this, his face was overjoyed, but he secretly provoked him and said: "If you have a general, it is worth a thousand gold." Now that there are supervisors sent by Chen Youliang in the general's army, I am afraid it will be inconvenient. I ask the general to gather his family quickly, make proper arrangements, and accompany me to meet my lord in the future. ”

Zhao Qingtai pulled out his knife and said: "Slow, since you want to take refuge in Marshal Zhu, how can you not build a large amount of work, wait for me to kill that gelding, raise the city and surrender together." Miss Chu, General Xu, please sit in the tent, and the last general will come when he goes. ”

Chu Liuyan hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "This is so wonderful, there is General Lao, I will sit here and wait for good news, and hope that the general will go back quickly." ”

After speaking, Zhao Qingtai ran out of the tent with a knife, Xu Da and Chu Liuyan waited for half an hour, only to see Zhao Qingtai carrying a package-like thing, leading a few generals to hurriedly break into the tent.

Zhao Qingtai slammed the package in his hand to the ground, only to see a bloody head rolling out of the package, with his head open and his eyes open, looking dead, which was very terrifying.

Zhao Qingtai pointed to the head and laughed: "The gelding sent by Chen Youliang has already let me kill it with one sword, and the head is here." Then he pointed to several generals around him and said: "These are my confidants and favorite generals, I have already told them about returning to Zhu Yuanzhang, and they have all agreed to surrender with me." ”
