Chapter 208 Princes and Generals, What is it?

Xu Yuanliang is one of these nobles, the first one.

As the second son of the Duke of Dingguo, although the lord does not have his share, who can guarantee that there will not be another Duke of Dingguo in the Mansion like when Emperor Chengzu made the Battle of Jingjing? The fame of a martial artist is naturally to be achieved on the battlefield, although he looks quite weak, but in his bones, there is no doubt that he is still a martial artist.

In the Dingguo Mansion, there is already a chaotic scene, but this kind of chaos is different from the chaos of the people outside who rob food and salt, this kind of chaos can be seen more as a tense and orderly chaos.

All the generals are all clothed, undressed, unarmoured, and on guard at any time, believing that as long as their master gives an order, they can immediately devote themselves to any battle in a very short period of time, and burst out with huge combat effectiveness. The servants, who had no military training but were strong and powerful, were also distributed with knives and sticks, and in addition to guarding the gates of the mansion, they were divided into several groups and patrolled around the walls of the mansion.

Their task is that even if the two masters lead the army to quell the chaos, the safety of this mansion cannot be lost in their hands, and they don't know whether the yamen or the garrison will send public soldiers to protect the national mansion, but it is said that chaos can begin outside, if even the family house can't keep the peace, how can the two masters lead the troops to the expedition with peace of mind.

Xu Yuanliang wants to lead the troops to the battle, this is a thing that has been determined, the Dingguo Gongren is in Beijing, and the prince can not be lost, the Wei Gongfu and the Dingguo Gongfu are the representatives of the noble class in Nanjing, it is impossible that no one will come out to lead the troops to quell the chaos, and the Dingguo Gongfu, there is no doubt that only Xu Yuanliang can be qualified for this important task.

I don't know why, Xu Yuanliang looked at the hectic situation in front of him, and inexplicably remembered that Yu Feng, a guerrilla general who was said to have absconded in fear of crime, came. Because of this matter, his wife Song Ning'er has complained about him many times in private. Song Ning'er complained about him, naturally because he generously sent Zhen Huan out, causing Yu Zhenhuan to follow this guy who absconded in fear of crime, and his whereabouts are unknown.

But Xu Yuanliang's first reaction when he heard the rumors of this news was that this was impossible, the situation in the inn where Yu Feng killed thieves like slaughtering dogs and chickens, he has always been very impressed, such a person, such a mental means, the possibility of absconding in fear of crime, I am afraid that it is not as likely as the possibility of him killing officials and rebelling. Not to mention, he still has thousands of soldiers and horses under his command.

"It would be a pity if his soldiers and horses dispersed because of this!" At this moment, Xu Yuanliang thought that even if Yu Feng's thousands of soldiers and horses were not as strong as those soldiers who killed thieves in his inn, with what he knew about him later, he was afraid that this person's training would not be much worse. So at this moment, when the outcasts are in turmoil, isn't it a good time for him and his people to show their talents? And with this tiger general under his command, with these more soldiers and horses, I am afraid that it will be even more powerful!

"What do you think?" He shook his head, thinking about this matter in front of him, he was already distracted, and there was no benefit to what he was about to face, only to increase his troubles and doubts, for now, he still thought about what kind of errand the garrison would send to him, and how many soldiers and horses he could give himself.

To be the commander, don't even think about it, without the emperor's will, no one will hand over hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of available soldiers to a noble who is idle in Nanjing, not to mention that he is the son of the prince, even if he is the emperor's brother-in-law, it is not possible, but it is feasible to lead a military horse alone, after all, the defenders of Nanjing also need to improve morale, and the name of his Xu family in Nanjing is not ordinarily big, otherwise, there will not be so many people surnamed Xu in Nanjing.

"Young Master, someone from the Garrison Mansion has come! Garrison adults, please! "A family will come and report it.

Xu Yuanliang raised his eyebrows, "Oh? He was originally handsome, with red lips and white teeth, and he was even more heroic in a military uniform at the moment.

"Let's go!" Xu Yuanliang raised his head and led a group of people towards the gate.

On October 20, the officers and soldiers of Jiangnan went out to fight Jiangpu in the army of Gao Yingxiang, and the officers and soldiers won a great victory, and Gao Yingxiang was defeated and retreated.

The morale of all officers and soldiers has risen greatly, and the original outcasts and thieves who have poisoned the world are nothing more than that. The people who originally held some remarks comparing the exiled army to the Yellow Turban Army at the end of the Han Dynasty also changed their tone one after another, and began to sing praises to the imperial court, and the city of Nanjing was even more noisy with firecrackers, as if this war had already achieved a decisive victory, and it was about to be Heqing Haiyan, and the world was peaceful.

However, this joy did not last for two days, and immediately from the front, the news that the exiled army had changed course and attacked Chuzhou.

If you open the history of the Ming Dynasty, in the Emperor's Chronicle, in Taizu's Benji, you can clearly see such a passage: In the first month of the spring of the fifteenth year, Zixing used Taizu's plan to send Zhang Tianyu and others to pull out Hezhou, and Taizu was in charge of his army. Also, in May, Taizu sought to cross the river, and the generals asked to go straight to Jiqing. Taizu said: "The collection celebration must start from quarrying." Quarrying town, defend must be solid, Niu Zhu is in front of the river, it is difficult to prepare, but it must be ke. ”

The history book describes in detail the process of Zhu Yuanzhang's original taking of Nanjing, and it is very impressive that if the place names before and after are changed and compared, people will immediately find that Gao Yingxiang's current strategy, route and even combat intentions are almost exactly the same as Zhu Yuanzhang's original, which is to take Hezhou first, then Chuzhou, and finally, release Nanjing. The only difference is that the Exile Army is more powerful at this time, while Zhu Yuanzhang is the best soldier.

In other words, although the Wandering People's Army is patchworked, it can't stand up to many others, Zhu Yuanzhang uses elite soldiers to strengthen generals, while Gao Yingxiang is arrogant and unreasonable, and uses crowd tactics to overwhelm it.

Therefore, Chuzhou looks like it is going to be a tragedy.

The attack on Jiangpu was just a pretense, and Gao Yingxiang's real intention was to rescue the officers and soldiers in Chuzhou, who were bent on rescuing Chuzhou, but they couldn't react at all.

Gao Yingxiang stood at the pinnacle of his life, and he was full of ambition. He can't help but be complacent, the defenders of Chuzhou are no more than 10,000 people, and he has almost 300,000 people, and his tent is like a cloud. 300,000 people besieging a city with less than 10,000 defenders seems to be no suspense, and if Chuzhou is pulled, Nanjing can be said to be in the bag, Zhu Yuanzhang can use this as the foundation to fight a world, why can't he break into the king? Princes and generals, what kind of is it?
