Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2091 White robes chaos in Yangzhou, Zhu Biao’s head gets bigger

The white robe army is equipped with one person and three cavalry.

Moreover, because the Jin army has no shortage of war horses, the white-robed army's configuration of war horses is naturally still higher than when they were in Yizhou.

Before setting off, although the white-robed army did not carry much dry food with them, they still had enough for ten days.

Therefore, after Chen Qingzhi quickly arrived in Yangzhou, he did not make any immediate action. Instead, he rushed all the way through Yuzhang and headed towards Danyang, seemingly intending to kill Zhu Yuanzhang's base camp Wujun in one go.

After Chen Qingzhi's march was discovered, the generals who stayed in Yangzhou were panicked. If Chen Qingzhi caused trouble in the base camp, Zhao Kuangyin would be a lesson to them.

Therefore, many people were affected.

Regardless of whether they can catch up or not, the only defensive forces in Yangzhou are trying their best to surround Wu Jun from all directions.

But seeing Chen Qingzhi getting closer and closer to Wu Jun, Chen Qingzhi suddenly turned around and rushed into Kuaiji in one breath.

Three cities were defeated in seven days, but Yangzhou could not even fully grasp Chen Qingzhi's whereabouts, and could only occasionally find traces of Chen Qingzhi's march.

Although Yangzhou has developed quite well in recent years under Zhu Yuanzhang's rule, during this period, before the economic center of gravity moved southward, Yangzhou's foundation was not good after all.

Among the six counties in Yangzhou, Yuzhang County and Kuaiji County are the two counties with the largest area. Among the six counties, they are the two counties with the smallest population density.

In addition, this place was severely affected by the Shanyue Disaster. For Chen Qingzhi, it was relatively easier to hide his whereabouts.

If this were in other counties, it wouldn't take long for someone to discover their whereabouts wherever he went.

With the population density of the Han Dynasty, it was impossible for them to go and kill anywhere to cover their whereabouts. This was meaningless, and they did not have much time to cover up the traces of their march.

Chen Qingzhi continued to conquer cities and territories in Kuaiji County. Although there seemed to be no rules on the surface, Zhu Yuanzhang always had many experts under his command.

Even though Chen Qingzhi seemed to be hiding something, these people could still vaguely judge that according to this movement trajectory, it seemed that the final direction was to return to Jiaozhou.

This judgment once again shocked the people of the Yangzhou Army. Chen Qingzhi mobilized his troops to wander around in such a large circle, but then returned to Jiaozhou. It seemed to be a unnecessary move.

But the problem is that Nuo Da is located in Jiaozhou. After Chen Qingzhi has made such a circle, returning to Jiaozhou does not mean that he will return to the place when he came.

There is only one place where Yangzhou and Jiaozhou are next to each other, and that is Nanhai County. However, today's Nanhai County is the place where the Yangzhou Army was finally able to control Jiaozhou.

Nanhai was already facing Wu Qi's army on the front line. At this time, if Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army suddenly attacked from behind, the entire Jiaozhou would fall into the hands of the enemy.

Once that time comes, Yangzhou will face the most dangerous situation.

But who would have thought that Chen Qingzhi would feint once again. When everyone thought that his direction was really Jiaozhou, he would return to Yuzhang again and win several more in one go. city. The combat purposes of Huo Qubing and Chen Qingzhi were different. Huo Qubing also sent out troops for his combat purpose, so he created millions of refugees.

Now the Jin army is fighting this war to rule the entire south. If it really creates millions of refugees in the south again, it will be its own fault in the end.

Some methods are not impossible to use, but there is no need to use them until that time comes.

However, Chen Qingzhi still caused a lot of turmoil along the way.

Although Chen Qingzhi destroyed few cities along the way, when necessary, he would choose a few small cities and destroy them to replenish his own supplies.

A small town like that with no more than a few dozen or at most a few hundred troops, was no different in front of Chen Qingzhi.

But after Chen Qingzhi breaks the city, he will definitely kill all the main officials and open up the treasury.

But these two counties, no matter which county they are, have integrated a large number of the former Shanyue population.

Shanyue had done a lot of looting in the past, but now that the treasury was wide open, Chen Qingzhi had killed all the resistance forces. After Chen Qingzhi and the others left, wouldn't this be equivalent to opening the rice vat in front of these rats?

Therefore, although there were not many cities that were conquered, these cities were already in chaos at this time, and many bandits were created. And these so-called bandits were not only the former Shanyue people, but also those who had broken the city. There were no soldiers who were eliminated afterwards.

Therefore, although on the surface it seems that Chen Qingzhi's journey was not as big as Huo Qubing's disturbance in the Central Plains, he still created a mess behind Yangzhou.

Wujun, Jinling, of course, have now been renamed Nanjing by Zhu Yuanzhang...

Nanjing is one of the famous ancient capitals in my country. It has many names in history, such as Jinling, Moling, Jianye, Jianye, Jiankang, etc. The origin of the name "Jinling" is the earliest reference to the "king spirit" of ancient Nanjing. statement.

This name can be traced back to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty: in the thirty-sixth year of King Xian of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, King Chu Wei conquered the Yue Kingdom, destroyed the country of Yue, and built Jinling City in Shitou Mountain. King Wei of Chu wanted to build a city here. He heard people said that this place had a royal aura, so he buried gold to protect it, hence the name "Jinling".

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Hong, an important minister of Sun Quan, directly told the story: "Visiting an old man, it was said that the first emperor of Qin passed through this county on his eastward tour of Kuaiji. Those who were optimistic said that the terrain of Jinling has the atmosphere of a king's capital, so he cut off the hills and changed its name to Moling. Today The place has its existence, the earth has its Qi, and the destiny of heaven is that it is suitable for the city."

"Wu Lu" of the Jin Dynasty also said that Zhuge Kongming's evaluation of the construction of the capital of the Wu Kingdom was "Zhongfu, dragons and pans, stones and tigers, this is the residence of the emperor." This shows that people at the time had a "kingly spirit" for Jinling. Believe it or not.

Qin Shihuang even claimed that the fearful Qin Shihuang "digging off the hills and cutting the northern mountains" to vent the royal power of Jinling.

Zhu Yuanzhang was convinced of this, and invited the master Yu Ji to rectify the name for this purpose, making it his royal capital. He promoted the imperial aura of Jinling in the south with great fanfare and chose an auspicious day to change its name to Nanjing.

At this moment, in the grand Wu Palace where Zhu Yuanzhang's royal capital is located, Zhu Biao, the eldest son of Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always been elegant and friendly, actually got angry for the first time, accusing everyone in the palace of scolding the civil and military officials.

Because of Chen Qingzhi's incident, Zhu Biao's head was also big...
