Chen Youliang died at the age of forty-four. At this time, it was only four years before he became emperor.

I don't know if he remembered his father's words before he died: "You are just a fisherman, I don't want you to plot any great cause, and it is enough to live with my father and son on the water." ”

Maybe if he hadn't raised an army in the first place, he wouldn't have died in the prime of life.

However, this vigorous life, from a fisherman's son to a prince, is also quite legendary.

In the original history, there was also Zhang Dingbian. He desperately guarded Chen Youliang's youngest son Chen Li to break through the siege, proclaimed himself emperor in Wuchang, and extended Chen Han for a period of time, but in this time and space with Yan Ling, Zhang Dingbian did not retreat and was killed on the spot, so naturally there was no brave general to lead his troops to break through the encirclement.

As a result, from the crown prince Chen Shan down, Chen Li and the entire high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty were all wiped out, and even if some people could escape, they also saw the general trend clearly, and chose to surrender in frustration.

Since both sides are princes belonging to the Red Turban Army system, the generals have no sense of betrayal when they surrender, and Chen Youliang's killing of Xu Shouhui is really unpopular.

Even Chen Youliang's prime minister Zhang Bixian and his brother Chen Youcai also surrendered one after another.

By October, all the prefectures and counties in the former Han Dynasty had basically surrendered, and Zhu Yuanzhang's territory and power had risen sharply, and he became the most powerful prince in the south at that time.

Zhu Yuanzhang is complacent, on meritorious deeds, the brave soldiers in this battle have been richly rewarded, Yan Ling because of the escort and other merits, and the generals in the forefront, reward 10,000 acres of land, countless gold and silver, under which often meet spring, Liao Yongzhong and others, appreciate thousands of acres of land, also have gold and silver, for a time, are happy.

Then it was time to return to Yingtian, after the hard battle, the soldiers were very tired, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to reunite with his wife and children who had been separated for a long time.

At this time, Zhu Biao, who was eight years old, Zhu Zhang, who was seven years old, Zhu Li, who was three years old, and Zhu Di, who was two years old.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang, who is not a few years older than him, already has five sons, who can be called a fighting chicken, Yan Ling is also a little emotional.

After all, he's still a single.

Of course, the Yan family had already planned to find a family affair for him, but Yan Ling knew that he had a long life, and because modern people's thinking had not turned around for a while, he felt that there was no need to get married so early, so he never got married.

After all, you have to at least go back to Qingyuan Road to get married again, right? But that is Fang Guozhen's territory.

Although the two sides have such an incense relationship, but he is an important minister of the other party's forces, and he frequently enters and leaves the base camp of others, which is inevitably too bad for Fang Guozhen.

The matter was put on hold.

Now that Lao Zhu's biggest enemy on the road to entrepreneurship has been eradicated, Yan Ling finally put his mind at ease and began to think about his life events.

Perhaps, it's time to find a beautiful sister and continue the incense?

The little girl in the Zhou family next door looks like a symbol, convex and backward...... No, no, no, my current identity is a bit mismatched...... At least a relative of a major minister......

Do I have to wait for Zhu Yuanzhang's daughter......

Bah! Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest daughter, the future princess of Lin'an, was born in the twentieth year of Zhizheng, which is several rounds away! Yan Ling hurriedly shook his head.

Just when someone began to spring, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly broke free from the gentle township after a short period of warmth.

The first person he summoned was Liu Ji.

Because it was this person who insisted on opposing him to send troops to rescue him when Zhang Shicheng besieged Anfeng.

In February of the twenty-third year of Zheng, Zhang Shicheng suddenly sent his subordinate Lu Zhen to attack Liu Futong and Han Lin'er in Anfeng, Zhu Yuanzhang got Liu Futong's call for help, and decided to send troops, at this time, it was Liu Ji who resolutely opposed.

"First, if Guogong rescues Prime Minister (Liu Futong) and King Ming (Han Lin'er), how should Guogong deal with himself? Wouldn't it be dangerous if Chen Youliang took the opportunity to invade my border? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang did not listen to his opinion, but it turned out that Liu Ji's words were extremely correct. He rescued Han Lin'er in Anfeng, but he was at a loss for a while, Cao Cao held a legitimate emperor hostage, and the princes didn't have a bird for him, and now he is just the emperor of Han and Song who has basically lost his territory, except for giving a guy on his head, there is no benefit at all.

Not to mention the second point, as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang led the troops away, Chen Youliang came, if it weren't for his good nephew being strong enough, Zhu Yuanzhang's family might have been lost at this time.

So Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Liu Ji and said gratefully:

"If I don't listen to Mr., it will lead to a catastrophe!" Although the result was good, the process of being an enemy with a powerful opponent like Chen Youliang was not only thrilling, but also greatly violated Zhu Yuanzhang's steady and steady strategy.

At this time, Zhu Sheng, another adviser of Zhu Yuanzhang, also came to him.

Zhu Sheng was invited by Zhu Yuanzhang in the eighteenth year of Zhizheng to his cottage, in fact, this person did not waste his hard work, it was he who set the strategy of "building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king" for Zhu Yuanzhang, so that Zhu Yuanzhang operated on his own territory for a long time and successfully entered the finals.

And now, he is here to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to be king.

Facing Zhu Sheng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled: "Sir, didn't you say that you want to develop in a low-key manner?" ”

"No, Guogong, now is the time. Throughout the world, there is no invincible, this is the time to build the country, with the heart of the ministers, to get the name of righteousness, to compete in the world. ”

The snake will shrink its neck before attacking.

Retreat, in order to better attack, and now, the accumulation is complete.

In the first month of the twenty-fourth year, Yan Ling, Xu Da, and Li Shanchang took the lead, and after resigning several old tricks, Zhu Yuanzhang was on the throne of Wu in Yingtian, officially founded the country, and was a vassal.

Zhu Biao, the eldest son of the son, is the son, with Li Shanchang as the right Xiangguo and Xu Da as the left Xiangguo, all of which are positive products; Chang Yuchun and Yan Ling are the political affairs of Pingzhang, for the first product, Wang Guangyang is the right Shilang, and Yu Tonghai is the left Sidu.

However, because Zhang Shicheng had already claimed the title of King Wu before, Zhu Yuanzhang was Western Wu and Zhang Shicheng was Eastern Wu.

There is no reason to allow others to snore on the side of the couch, not to mention that there are two kings with the same title, which is even more unpleasant to look at.

The battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng also kicked off.

However, this war has little to do with Yan Ling, and he once again returned to his own job - running the local area. After all, it was poured out of the nest before, except for Li Shanchang and Liu Ji's pure ministers, but everyone who knew how to point a bow horse went up to deal with Chen Youliang, but Zhang Shicheng?

To put it mildly, is he worthy?

However, what Yan Ling didn't expect was that the first thing he dealt with turned out to be Zhu Yuanzhang's family matter, or the good nephew who should have been loyal.
