The fast horse was galloping, and when they reached Anfeng, a soldier stepped forward and delivered a letter.

Liu Futong took the letter, opened the letter, looked at it carefully, and said after a long time: "Guo Zixing is dead!" ”

He handed the letter to King Xiao Ming again.

King Xiao Ming looked at the letter and said, "Uncle, Guo Zixing is dead, what should I do?" ”

Liu Futong said: "Guo Zixing, I am in the same vein as the Red Turban Army, but I don't listen to the announcement, for the sake of today's plan, there is only division and disintegration." In Guo Zixing's army, his son-in-law Zhu Yuanzhang is the most powerful; As for the brother-in-law Zhang Tianyou, the second son Guo Tianxu is relatively inferior...... It's better to kill three soldiers with two peaches! ”

King Xiao Ming nodded.

Soon after, King Xiao Ming issued a decree that Guo Tianxu was appointed as the marshal of the capital, Zhang Tianyou was the right deputy marshal, and Zhu Yuanzhang was ranked third in the army and served as the left deputy marshal, but in fact, the official position and strength were not equal.

Zhu Yuanzhang controls two-thirds of the troops, and he is still an elite unit, but he is the third person, and his status and power are obviously not equal.

After Zhu Yuanzhang learned the news, he said angrily: "The eldest husband would rather be controlled by others!" It's too much of a deception! ”

Xiang Yu said: "Liu Futong is a good means, directly provoke, two peaches kill three soldiers, and add fuel to the fire." If you fight with Zhang Tianyou and Guo Tianxu, it's the best! ”

"No matter who wins or loses, it will weaken the power of the Haozhou Army!"

"If you lose, don't say anything. Even if you are lucky enough to defeat Zhang Tianyou, Guo Tianxu, what does the world think of you...... In the eyes of the world, your father-in-law treats you well, but you are good, directly kill your father-in-law's son, kill your father-in-law's brother-in-law, what do outsiders think of you! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded.

For Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou, I hate them to the core, and I want to kill them with a knife, but I can't kill them.

Killed, the reputation is completely stinky!

Although in troubled times, reputation is not important, as the so-called etiquette collapses.

But the reputation stinks, or the impact is too bad.

"Father, what should I do?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Without him, it's just a knife to kill!"

Xiang Yu said: "We can't do it, so let some people do it!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

……

In June of the fifteenth year of Zheng, Guo Tianxu and Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to cross the river and attack Jiqing Road, the Red Turban Army first captured Quarry Rock, and then took Daping Mansion to capture Chen Yexian, and then was rebelled by Zhu Yuanzhang, but due to the dangerous terrain of Jiqing Road, the Yuan army was heavily armed under this subordinate, and the first attack on Jiqing Road failed.

In August, the rebels adopted a step-by-step strategy, conquering the important towns around Jiqing one by one.

Soon after, Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyouchong, who were marshals and deputy marshals, were stationed in Fangshan, wanting to conquer Jiqing first, establish military merits, and completely suppress Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang, as the left deputy marshal, stayed in the Taiping Mansion in the rear.

As a general of the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Yexing followed.

The battle was about to break out, and the army fiercely attacked Jiqing City.

Knock knock!

The drums of war were beating, the soldiers of the Red Turban Army were rushing to kill, and the battle broke out quickly.

Then, after ten days of continuous attack, there was still no success.

The two sides are at a stalemate.

At this moment, a meeting was held.

Everyone was discussing how to break through the city, and at this moment, Chen Yexian suddenly rested and said, "It's a pity! ”

"What a pity?" Zhang Tianyou said.

"It's a pity that some people are not worthy of morality!"

Chen Ye said first: "Kill!" ”

Just then, the axe man appeared and slashed and slashed.

The faces of the two changed greatly, and they hurriedly fought back.

But if he was calculating or unintentional, he was still killed by Chen Ye first.

After these two people were killed, Chen Ye first began a large-scale purge, killing the generals of the Haozhou Red Turban Army and beginning to take over the army.

After taking over the army, he evacuated Jiqing and turned southwest to the southwest.

…………

A few days later, the news came, and everyone in Taiping Mansion was in an uproar.

The crowd was silent.

Many people vaguely think of something.

In the study, Xiang Yu asked, "Yuanzhang, but you do it!" ”

"It's not!" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Borrowing a knife to kill someone, I haven't thought about it, whether it is to fall from a horse and die, or die of illness, the hidden danger is not small." As a result, Chen Ye did it for me first! ”

Xiang Yu was stunned.

That's right, maybe all this is really an accident!

Because, dying of illness directly, or falling from a horse to death, or being shot by the enemy, etc., is extremely simple and the risk is small.

Such a rebellion seems to be a bit excessive.

This is more than 20,000 Red Turban troops, all of them are gone!

It's also too much of a loss.

But when you think about it, it doesn't feel right!

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Chen Yexian's dog thing, it's just enough to kill these two people, and he ran away with more than 20,000 troops, which is a big loss!" ”

That's an army of 20,000, and that's it!

Xiang Yu said: "Let's celebrate it!" Chuzhou, the land of the four wars, has little strategic space and limited development prospects...... The only way to continue to go south and attack the Yuan army! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

The army continued to move south, attacking Jiqing.

Walking along the road, it was constantly forbidden to plunder, and some soldiers violated the ban and were immediately executed, so Zhu Yuanzhang's army was supported by the local people.

Finally broke through Jiqing.

After Zhu Yuanzhang entered the city, he ordered to appease the people and change Jiqing to Yingtianfu.

Soon after, news came that Chen Yexian died inexplicably.

The news of Jiqing's victory came, and the news of the victory covered up the news of the death of the two marshals, and Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige increased and he became a real leader.

"Clever!"

Xiang Yu said in his heart, if he doesn't admire, he can't do it.

After Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, was reported, Zhu Yuanzhang was promoted to the Privy Council, and soon he was promoted to Jiangnan and other places in the province of Pingzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang set up Tianxing to build the Generalissimo Mansion of Kangyi in Yingtian, with Liao Yongan as the marshal of the unified army, and Li Shanchang as the left and right Shilangzhong.

"Father-in-law, what happens next?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Xiang Yu smiled: "Yuanzhang, you already understand, why bother asking me." It's nothing more than what Lu Zhusheng said, build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king! ”

"Next, with Yingtian as the fulcrum, we will continue to attack the surrounding cities to form a stable base area, and then realize the tuntian system, build water conservancy, build firearms, train the army, and consolidate the base area!"

"It's not about how big the territory is, it's about how solid it is!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

In the seventeenth year of Zhizheng (1357), Geng Bingwenke Changxing, Xu Dake Changzhou, and Zhu Yuanzhang personally led the army to capture Ningguo. Subsequently, Zhao Jizuke, Jiangyin, Xu Dake, Changshu. Hu Dahai Ke Huizhou, Changyu Chun Ke Chi Zhou, Miao Daheng Ke Yangzhou.

In the nineteenth year of Zheng (1359), Zhu Yuanzhang successively conquered the rest of eastern Zhejiang, often encountered Chunke Quzhou, Hu Daike Chuzhou, so far Zhu Yuanzhang controlled Jiangzuo and Zhejiang, adjacent to Chen Youliang to the west, and adjacent to Zhang Shicheng to the east.

Based on Yingtianfu, a solid base was established.

At this moment, the Red Turban Army in the north was attacking the Yuan Dynasty on the third route, Chen Youliang was attacking the Yuan Dynasty, and Zhang Shicheng was expanding the chassis, everyone was very busy, and they were temporarily harmonious and stable with each other.
