Rebirth Zhu Yuanzhang's King Summoning System

Chapter 122 Infernal Affairs

"Your Majesty, I will lead the officers and men of Hongdu to surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang in a false surrender, and I will sacrifice the city of Hongdu to gain trust. Thanks to your mighty power, we should cooperate with each other when attacking Jiqing, and help you defeat Zhu Yuanzhang's defenders in one fell swoop. Minister Kang Maocai." Chen Youliang looked at With the document sent by Kang Maocai, a little joy flashed on his bloodless face, and he immediately waved the cinnabar to approve: "Yes!"

Half a month later, under Chen Youliang's eyes, Kang Maocai donated Hongducheng, and he himself arrived at Zhu Yuanzhang's account smoothly.The reason why Chen Youliang allowed Kang Maocai to do this was not out of trust in him, but after a precise analysis.

Kang Maocai feigned surrender. If he succeeds, Zhu Yuanzhang will no longer have the power to match him if he loses Jiqing. When the time comes, Zhu Yuanzhang will be wiped out and Jiangnan will be ruled.

If Kang Maocai unfortunately fails and loses the city, he will not have much loss. There will be as many mediocre generals as Kang Maocai. As for Hongdu City, it is surrounded by cities under his control. As simple as drinking cold water?
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Kang Maocai, he was very happy. He remembered that when he almost starved to death and grabbed food from Yuan Bing’s dogs, it was Kang Maocai who passed by who rescued him and sent him to the Yellow River construction site, where he met Han Shantong and Liu Futong. , Witnessed the process of the Yellow River uprising.

Kang Maocai was very pleased to see Zhu Yuanzhang's respectful and polite attitude towards him: "Among the three heroes of Jiangnan, you are the only one who has not changed. Although Hongdu is not the capital of Jiangnan West Road (the capital of Jiangxi Province was Jiujiang at that time), the location It's extremely important. If you don't lose Hong, you have inserted a nail into Chen Youliang's heart! At that time, no matter how Chen Youliang fights, he must beware of Hong Du's attack behind him. With great strength, he can only use seven points at most. , At that time, all you need is for the general to fight back with all his strength, and Chen Youliang can be completely wiped out by the Gan River. Hongdu, you must not lose it! The general of Hongdu is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Wenzheng who was picking his nails in the corner: "Wenzheng, I will leave Hongdu to you."

Kang Maocai and all the generals were shocked.

Xu Da and Tang He asked for help: "Brother Zhu, let me go. Hongdu is dangerous, and Wenzheng is still young. I'm afraid I can't afford such a heavy responsibility."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Wen Zheng, can you defend Hongdu?"

Zhu Wenzheng stood up, staggering because of the hangover: "Hongdu is here, I am here, Hongdu is lost, I am dead."

"it is good!"

Everyone present did not expect that it was this seemingly absurd decision that made Zhu Wenzheng's reputation.

Three months later, the cicadas began to sing in early summer. It was the season of abundant rain. Chen Youliang led the Xinmingjiao navy to march north along the Ganjiang River. 50 elite sailors covered the river. Warships are overwhelming.The so-called throwing the whip and breaking the river is nothing more than that.

Chen Youliang's momentum is like a rainbow rising out of the sun, and its momentum is like a broken bamboo.

People along the way flocked to Jiqing to report to Zhu Yuanzhang, suggesting that Zhu Yuanzhang retreat from Jiqing to preserve his strength so that he can make a comeback.

Amidst such rumors, individual generals under Zhu Yuanzhang's command sent letters of surrender to Chen Youliang. After being intercepted by Li Shanchang, he immediately led people to capture them and brought them to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood at the head of Jiqing City, looked at the surrender faction kneeling in a row under the city, and said loudly: "Jiqing is my last barrier for Zhu Yuanzhang. Even if I die, I will die here! Cowardly, cowardly, you Just leave. Those who are willing to live and die with Jiqing, take up your weapons and follow my generals to fight to the last moment!"

Liu Ji drew out his saber, raised it above his head and shouted loudly: "Although I am a counsellor, I also have the heart to fight Chen Thief! I swear to live and die with Jiqing!"

Song Lian also drew out his sword, pointed at the general behind him and said, "Aren't you even inferior to a counselor like Liu Bowen (Liu Ji)? He still has the determination to break the jade, what is your determination?"

All the generals behind him roared loudly: "Swear to live and die with Jiqing!"

That night, the Marshal's Mansion was brightly lit.

Liu Ji pointed to the Qinhuai River on the map: "If I were Chen Youliang, I would definitely choose to enter the Qinhuai River through the Yangtze River and directly reach the city wall of Jiqing. At that time, our navy will face Chen Youliang's huge navy directly, and there is no chance of winning. .”

Song Lian nodded and pointed to a small point on the Qinhuai River: "And on the Qinhuai River now, the only thing that can prevent Chen Youliang from entering the city is this small bridge - Jiangdong Bridge. The navy led by Yu Tonghai are all fishing boats. The boat was small and brisk. When it slipped into Jiqing along the Qinhuai River, it was not hindered by this small bridge at all. But Chen Youliang's naval force was different. His boat was so tall and powerful that it could not get through the bridge hole of Jiangdong Bridge. .”

Li Shanchang agreed: "Then we will change this wooden bridge into a stone bridge. There will be an ambush with archers on the bridge and force Chen Youliang to come here to fight us!"

Looking at the position of Li Shanchang's fingers, Zhu Yuanzhang understood what they meant at that time.

Longwan—this is the best cemetery they chose for Chen Youliang!
There is shallow water and many rocks, next to it is an open field, and behind the open field is a stone mountain, which is a natural barrier for ambushes.Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to lead Chen Youliang's navy ashore for a decisive battle here.As long as Chen Youliang dared to go ashore, Xu Da, Tang He, Feng brothers and other generals who had been ambushing here for a long time would crush him unceremoniously.

In land wars, no one is their opponent.

When everyone was preparing for the decisive battle, Kang Maocai, who had just joined Zhu Yuanzhang's camp, was writing a letter to Chen Youliang.

"Your Majesty personally informed that my minister Kang Maocai has successfully gained Zhu Yuanzhang's trust, and has fully learned about the situation of Jiqing's defense. There are ambushes along the land, and it is not easy to go ashore. Only the Longwan area is surrounded by open space, and there is no ambush. However, considering our water The division is strong, and we should use our strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses. Your Majesty leads the navy from the Yangtze River into the Qinhuai River, and can go directly to the city of Jiqing. , there is a wooden bridge named Jiangdong Bridge. When His Majesty leads his troops to arrive, I will take people to dismantle it to clear the obstacles for Your Majesty. Minister Kang Maocai kowtowed."

The flame of the oil lamp the size of broad beans danced slightly. After writing the letter, Kang Maocai breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and found that Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"It's well written." Zhu Yuanzhang raised the corner of his mouth, took Kang Maocai's letter, and saluted him with fists cupped. "I'll trouble you for the next thing."

Kang Maocai put down his brush, and replied, "I'm just doing a little bit for the people of the world, so there's nothing to worry about. If the Jiangnan Rebel Army falls into the hands of Chen Youliang, the common people will have to live without food and clothing. day."
