The waves of the river continue to go to the east, continuously.

Walking and walking, I arrived in Anqing.

Anqing, the most important fortress on the Yangtze River, is not one of them.

Chen Youliang led the army, advancing by land and water, constantly marching towards Anqing, the army continued to have 100,000 people, and the army came in a mighty way.

When he arrived in Anqing, Anqing guarded Zhao Pusheng at the door to greet him.

"Meet the General!"

Zhao Pusheng stepped forward.

"Pusheng, you have worked hard!"

Chen Youliang stepped forward and held his arm, a good brother for life.

With that, the two arrived in Anqing City.

Immediately there was a large army and began to take over the city defenses.

Soon, there will be delicious food and wine, etc., and it will be delivered directly.

Tasting the wine, Zhao Pusheng said: "General, you have to attack Yingtian and defeat Zhu Yuanzhang!" ”

"Yes!"

Chen Youliang said: "There is not much time left for me, we must conquer Yingtian and destroy Zhu Yuanzhang before the Mongolian army goes south, so that we can gain a firm foothold!" ”

"Otherwise, with the Yuan Dynasty army attacking Xiangyang in the north, Fang Guozhen attacking in the southeast, and the Bashu Yuan army in Chongqing attacking in the west, we are very dangerous!"

Zhu Yuanzhang is in the land of four wars, how can he not be.

Once the king of Ruyang defeated the Shandong Red Turban Army, he would inevitably go north to Dadu, integrate the various factional forces of the Yuan Dynasty, and realize the peace of the country, and then send troops south to attack Xiangyang, reproducing the strategic intention of the Yuan Dynasty to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.

The only fortunate thing is that the army of the Yuan Dynasty continued to attack Yidu and could not overcome it for a long time.

The seemingly invincible King of Ruyang does not seem to be as awesome as the legend, and he is pinned down by the Red Turban Army of Yidu and is unable to go south.

In a short time, the Mongol army will not go south.

If the king of Ruyang did not conquer Yidu and did not realize the "peace inside", it would be "outside", that is, he would rush south and attack Xiangyang, and he would definitely be defeated and return home.

"General, Zhu Yuanzhang is not easy to fight!"

Zhao Pusheng said.

Chen Youliang said: "It's not good to fight, you have to fight!" The offensive line left behind is actually limited. One goes south to attack Guangdong, and the victory or defeat is meaningless; There is no point in attacking Fujian! The only way to go down the Yangtze River and attack Zhu Yuanzhang is our only choice! ”

Zhao Pusheng was silent, not knowing what to say.

Chen Youliang took a sip of wine and said, "I want to order you to be the vanguard officer and send troops to attack Jinling!" ”

Zhao Pusheng said: "The last general, he is sick and can't move forward, so he asks the general to be fulfilled!" ”

Chen Youliang sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity! ”

As he spoke, he dropped his glass.

The glass smashed to the ground and shattered.

Whoa!

Throwing the cup as a number, immediately one by one knife and axe hands appeared, attacking Zhao Pusheng.

Zhao Pusheng panicked: "General, why is this?" ”

As he spoke, he drew his sword and resisted.

But soon, he was hacked to death by the axeman.

"Zhao Pusheng, colluded with Zhu Yuanzhang, wanted to surrender Zhu Yuanzhang, and was killed by Ben General." Chen Youliang said.

After hearing this, many generals all agreed, and no one sympathized with Zhao Pusheng.

As the saying goes, loyal ministers don't do anything about two masters, and good women don't marry two husbands.

As a courtier, you must be disciplined and learn to be loyal.

Two-faced, three-faced, speculation continues, and everyone despises it.

Zhao Pusheng originally belonged to Xu Shouhui's army, but he surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang soon after; Soon after, because of some things, he took refuge in Xu Shouhui again.

This is a three-surnamed domestic slave and a Lu Bu.

Killing a house slave with three surnames is nothing remarkable, as a matter of course.

……

Ying Tianfu, everyone gathered together, discussing the next march plan.

Some advocated the Eastern Crusade and took the lead in attacking Zhang Shicheng; Some people advocated a westward expedition and took the lead in attacking Chen Youliang; Some people advocate the Northern Expedition, rescue King Xiao Ming, and attack King Xiao Ming.

The minister of civil and military affairs on the ninth floor advocated attacking Zhang Shicheng; Only Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as a small number of ministers of cultural relics, advocated attacking Chen Youliang.

As for the Northern Expedition, it is easy to be ignored by everyone.

But for the sake of face, he still agreed to send a small number of soldiers and horses to rescue King Xiao Ming.

Mainly for King Xiao Ming, a large amount of grain and grass was sent, so that King Xiao Ming could resist and not collapse, otherwise after losing the cover, Jinling would be very dangerous.

Xiang Yu watched everyone's expressions, but did not speak, choosing to be silent.

Eastern Expedition, Western Expedition, Northern Expedition, etc., isn't this the routine of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in later generations, and sure enough, copying homework is everywhere. Of course, many people can't copy their homework well.

The Northern Expedition was not really to capture the Qing Dynasty Beijing City, but to contain the Qing Dynasty army, just like Liu Deng's army leaping thousands of miles into Dabie Mountain.

The westward expedition was to conquer Wuhan, consolidate the defense line of the Yangtze River, occupy the Jianghan region, and obtain a large amount of grain;

The Eastern Crusade was to obtain a large amount of wealth in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, grain, salt taxes, etc.

In fact, if there was no chaos in Tianjing, it would have been possible.

First on the Western Expedition and then on the Eastern Expedition, there was a disagreement in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

In the later period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it was mainly Chen Yucheng who advocated the westward expedition and occupied Hubei; As for Li Xiucheng, he advocated an eastward crusade and occupied the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

As a result, Li Xiucheng was victorious, occupying most of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and winning many battles. But Chen Yucheng was betrayed by a traitor and sacrificed because of insufficient troops, and the western expedition failed.

Anqing was lost and Tianjing was surrounded.

Li Xiucheng came to help, but he was unable to return to the sky.

Losing Anqing, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is equivalent to losing half of its life.

Losing Anqing, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will no longer have the power to return to heaven!

Thinking about how Zeng Guofan exterminated the Taiping Army in history, and how Chen Youliang attacked Yingtian, I felt more and more that Anqing was very important.

At this moment, a person walked in outside, it was Zhu Sheng.

Zhu Sheng opened his mouth and said: "Not long ago, Chen Youliang came to Anqing and killed Zhao Pusheng, the defender of Anqing, who claimed to have 300,000 land and water troops, and marched into Yingtianfu. The fleet, going down the river, may only take one day, and it will be killed to Ying Tianfu! ”

Hearing the news, everyone was in an uproar, with a look of horror in their eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned, but he laughed later.

Liu Bowen opened his mouth and said, "Lord, why are you laughing? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang restrained his smile and said: "I laugh, Chen Youliang has a rat's belly and chicken intestines, he fell for my counter-plot and killed Zhao Pusheng, which is equivalent to self-destruction of the Great Wall." Our army is worry-free! ”

Liu Bowen stepped forward and said: "Congratulations to my lord, Chen Youliang has not started a war, and he has lost a general." Our army will win this battle! ”

Suddenly, others also spoke up and congratulated.

Saying that the lord had a clever plan to calm the world, Chen You forgave his wife and folded his soldiers.

It seems that soon after, Chen Youliang's army was wiped out.

Originally, because of Chen Youliang, 300,000 troops came over, and everyone was terrified, but with the so-called counter-intrigue and successfully killed Zhao Pusheng, everyone became optimistic.

Xiang Yu smiled.

As a leader, Zhu Yuanzhang is qualified and good at using all favorable factors to encourage people's hearts; Good at talking nonsense with your eyes open.

It's obviously, but it sounds reasonable.

As for the so-called counter-plotting, there is no such thing as a counter-plot.

In the world, there is this plan, that plan, and they are all thinking too much.

Zhu Yuanzhang has never used the so-called anti-intrigue scheme.

Chen Youliang killed Zhao Pusheng not because he fell for the counterplot, but because he had to kill.

In essence, Zhao Pusheng wants to raise thieves and respect himself, and he is separated from Chen Youliang, just like Lu Bu in history, who wants to work alone.

Chen Youliang, naturally not allowed, must be killed.

In addition, if Chen Youliang led a large army and attacked Yingtianfu, Zhao Pusheng suddenly rebelled and came with a back attack, and the whole army might be wiped out at that time.

Before attacking Ying Tianfu, Zhao Pusheng must be dealt with.
