Chapter 158: The General's "Yellow Robe"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up at this time with the support of Li Shanchang, and then he said: "Even if you want to rebel now, it is impossible." The Mongols and Zhang Shicheng were both tigers and wolves. Besides, seeing Mingzun's military appearance, our army is invincible. Besides, we have recruited a lot of people under the banner of Mingjiao before. ”
"These people definitely don't dare to fight Mingzun. At the beginning, I wanted to take advantage of Mingzun's absence in the Central Plains to coerce Zhu Guifei to settle in me, so that Mingzun's prestige would completely die in people's hearts. Let everyone think that he is an ordinary person. ”
But as he surrendered Chen Youliang and Li Siqi, he pacified Bashu and killed Mingsheng. His prestige is still in full swing. As long as Mingzun's prestige and hearts remain, it is impossible for us to defeat him. ”
Li Wenzhong said at this time: "The superior position is too underestimated of his own strength. Today, we still have more than 100,000 Huaixi soldiers, although there are not many of these soldiers and horses, but most of them are Guo Dashuai's old troops back then, and there are descendants who have followed the upper ranks for many years. These brothers are our own people. ”
Li Wenzhong looked at Tang He, Feng Sheng, Liao Yongzhong and others at this time, and he said, "My subordinates think what everyone said is good. At the beginning, we were in Chuzhou, when Haozhou raised an army against the Yuan. The Mingjiao General Altar has never given us a penny of food, nor has it given us a single soldier. Now Jinling Longxingdi, together with the surrounding counties and counties, are all attacked by our brothers themselves. ”
"We don't owe half of the favor to the head altar of Mingjiao from beginning to end, and Mingzun is a child, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. He didn't cut the domain early, he didn't cut the domain later, and when he saw the smoke of the rebel army in the world suddenly rising and the Yuan court was about to collapse, he jumped out at this time and fished out ready-made, simply."
Li Wenzhong couldn't think of anything to say for a while. to describe Zhang Wuji's current "downward" behavior.
Li Wenzhong waved his hand, held back for a long time and said: "It's so stinky and shameless!" ”
After seeing Li Wenzhong's impatient but such vulgar words, the generals, including Zhu Yuanzhang, laughed.
Because Li Wenzhong made such a fuss, the tense atmosphere was eased a lot.
However, at this time, Li Shanchang looked at Mingzun's fleet and said: "Superior, according to Weichen, the words of the generals are not unreasonable, and there are no eggs under the nest." Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu of the Han Dynasty. They are all heroes who have accompanied the King of Han to fight the world. But the final result is that 'the bird is all hidden, and the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked'. ”
However, Li Shanchang and all the generals present couldn't imagine that if Zhu Yuanzhang was on the throne, it would be Han Xin and others who were hiding all the birds.
Compared with the Boss Zhu in front of them, Boss Liu is still more kind.
After all, Boss Liu only killed a few people, including those named by Li Shanchang. As long as there is no meritorious master, the territory is torn and the territory is sealed, there is no obvious tendency to rebel, and those who are of the same mind as Boss Liu basically die well. Even Han Gaozu's most hated Yongya was made a marquis and died a good death.
And if Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him succeeds in ascending to the position, I am afraid that there will be no more people left. In his later years, Zhu Yuanzhang cleaned up Huaixi Xungui to pave the way for his children and grandchildren, and the first one to die was him Li Shanchang.
If these people knew their future endings, I don't know if they would still work for Zhu Yuanzhang like this. Do you feel that you are stupid to be loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang now.
After Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment, he also looked at Zhang Wuji's distant fleet and asked, "So, everyone is in favor of it?" ”
The generals, along with Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, nodded their heads in agreement.
Seeing everyone's determination, Zhu Yuanzhang was also ruthless.
But now he really lives up to the title of "King Wu", and he has begun to be as crooked as Sun Quan before the Battle of Chibi.
At the moment, he also wants to fight, and he also wants to unite Meng Yuan and Zhang Shicheng to eliminate Zhang Wuji, a common enemy.
But if he fights, he has great concerns in his heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the wall of Jinling, overlooking his "vast territory", he went from a begging monk in Huangjue Temple, a poor man who couldn't even eat, to a prince of a town that split the soil and sealed the territory.
How hard-won all this is, he himself knows it.
He went from having nothing before to now having a beautiful and virtuous wife and several children.
There is status and prestige.
If he surrenders to Zhang Wuji, he will lose the opportunity to become the second Han Gaozu and the second civilian emperor.
But he can still be ranked as a feudal marquis, and even if he hands over the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, it is possible that he can even rank as the third duke.
In this way, you can protect your wife and children. You can also ensure that you are rich and secure for the rest of your life.
But if he does this, he will be a little unwilling, and secondly, he will not be able to restrain the civil and military courtiers under his command.
But if he really tore his face with Zhang Wuji, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be sure of winning, not only would he not be sure of winning, but even the certainty of winning was very slim.
If he wins, it's fine, but if he loses, not only will he have nothing again, but even his wife and children will become the souls of others.
Once a person has something, it is inevitable that he will suffer from gains and losses. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang is also very contradictory now.
But as a conspirator, what you want is to be happy and angry.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked at this time: "If we start a war with Mingzun, what are our chances of winning?" ”
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, all the generals under Zhu Yuanzhang's command were dumb at this time, and even Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang, who were advisers, looked at each other. Remain silent for now.
After all, they all know how much strength Zhang Wuji has. They don't know how many troops Zhang Wuji has stationed in Bashu and Qinchuan.
When Zhang Wuji first returned to the Central Plains, he surrendered 600,000 soldiers and horses under Chen Youliang's command.
Although after going to the old and weak, the selection of the elite made him have a lot fewer soldiers and horses, but with the integration of the military horses of the Ming Xia regime, he got the fertile fields of Bashu. After his integration, the Jingzhou army and horses and water army totaled more than 800,000.
At present, the men and horses under Zhu Yuanzhang, counting the Mingjiao military horses led by Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, who were divided, only have more than 300,000 people in their hands. And those who can really fight for Zhu Yuanzhang wholeheartedly are the only more than 100,000 Huaixi soldiers and horses that Li Wenzhong said.
100,000 against 800,000, unless it is Sun Wu's resurrection and Sui Tho's comeback, otherwise they dare not say that they can beat this battle.
Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed helplessly.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Everyone is warring, but they have no heart to fight. It's really a disappointment for Lonely. In that case, then we should surrender! ”
In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately raised his tone to mean "anger" and angrily reprimanded his subordinates for their incompetence.
But in fact, I also found a step down for myself. After all, if he surrendered, he would still be able to preserve his wealth. You don't have to worry about the future of your brothers.
If it weren't for Fang Cai's aggressiveness, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have had the heart to rebel.
