Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2362: The End of Ming Dynasty, the General Offensive is about to begin
After Xu Da's death, Bai Qi allowed the entire army to take a short rest for three days.

Afterwards, Huang Feihu led 30,000 troops to garrison Chaisang, separating Jingnan from Yangzhou, while Qi Jiguang's navy entered the Jingnan waterway to guard the middle reaches of the Yangtze River to prevent the Yangzhou navy from responding to Zhu Yuanzhang. As for himself, he led all the remaining troops to sweep towards the four counties of Jingnan.

There is no way. It’s not that the remaining two counties of Yangzhou are not attractive, but that there is big meat in Jingnan.

Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely the biggest piece of meat in the southern battlefield, and the fatness of this piece of meat is no less than that of Zhao Kuangyin in the Central Plains battlefield.

There is such a big piece of fat meat right in Jingnan, even Bai Qi cannot remain calm.

He also wants to fight for such a big piece of fat meat!
In other words, which general who participated in the Southern War would not want to get a piece of fat?

Once you eat it, you will make a fortune. If you lie down, you will live for several lifetimes!
Not only the generals in the war in the south, but even those generals like Zhang Liao who moved to the south after completing the war in the Central Plains, were all blood-thirsty!
With a figure like Zhu Yuanzhang in there, no general could let him go!
Otherwise, why do you think they fight with their heads tied to their belts?
You can give up other credits, but if you give up this kind of credit, what a joke!
Although as the commander-in-chief of the Southern War, he would get a share of the spoils no matter which general won the battle, but if he could keep it all in his own hands, why should he only get a small share?
Xu Da, Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Sheng... his right-hand men and confidants died one by one. When Zhu Yuanzhang received the news, he was not as angry as he was after Yao Guangxiao's death. Instead, he was extremely calm.

He locked himself in the room for an entire day, without eating or drinking, and no matter which general under his command came to see him, he refused to see them.

After a full day and night, Zhu Yuanzhang finally broke out of the door. However, when he came out again, his temples were already gray.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was already a grandfather, he was no longer as young and strong as he used to be, and his black hair was already mixed with strands of gray.

However, in the past, he had the aura of a tiger looking down on the world, and his old appearance did not affect him at all.

But now, he seemed to have really become a little old man, having lost all his energy and spirit.

Perhaps, from this moment on, Zhu Yuanzhang was dead.

Now, the only Zhu Yuanzhang left in this world is a walking corpse, and he has lost his soul.

It can be said that if Zhu Yuanzhang could not find his soul, even if a miracle really happened and allowed Zhu Yuanzhang to survive the Southern War, he would not be the same Zhu Yuanzhang as before and it would be impossible for him to stir up waves in this world.

Besides, where do so many miracles come from in this world?

Since the outbreak of the Southern War, Zhu Yuanzhang has lost too much.

He lost his queen!
Lost my son!

He lost his trusted civil and military officials one after another.

The most important thing is that he lost his picturesque country and everything he wanted and desired to master.

Now, although nominally two counties of Yangzhou are still in his hands, and most of the four counties of Jingnan are also in his hands, it may not sound like much, but the territory of each county in the south, in terms of land alone, is enormous compared to the north and the Central Plains.

The six counties, in terms of land area alone, are more than half the size of the three states in the Central Plains or the four states in the north.

Judging from the area, the territory controlled by Zhu Yuanzhang is still extremely vast, and the three in the north are still not as good as him.

But how is it possible to judge only based on the surface area?

Bai Qi won the Battle of Red Cliffs and landed at Chaisang. If he went east, he could easily sweep the two counties of Yangzhou. If he went west, he could also easily sweep the two northern counties of the four counties of Jingnan.

Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally well aware that the reason why Bai Qi chose to go west instead of east was that it was aimed at him.

Although Bai Qi was heading towards the four counties in southern Jingzhou, it did not mean that the two counties in Yangzhou were safe. Guo Ziyi had already ended the battlefield in Jianghuai and could move south at any time.

With Lu Xun's military force on the Yangtze River, he could not hold out for long.

To guard the Yangtze River, one must also guard the Huai River. Without the Yangtze and Huai River as barriers, the natural barrier of the Yangtze River would no longer be an absolute natural barrier. It would be impossible for Lu Xun to guard such a long Yangtze River in every detail.

Moreover, after Wu Zixu's successive defeats on the Yangtze River, the Jin army's naval strength was sufficient to contend with them, and this was in the case of the alliance of several navies.

In fact, in terms of morale, Qi Jiguang's navy was even stronger.

The reason why the two sides' navies have now exchanged advantages is inevitably related to Wu Zixu's original division of troops, which led to the dispersion of the strength of their Yangtze River joint navy.

But what can Zhu Yuanzhang say about this?

The Jianghuai battlefield was in danger at that time, and the Jin army could cross the river and move south at any time.

If there was no army guarding the Yangtze River, Guo Ziyi could have sent a troop to cross the Yangtze River in advance, even before the outcome of the Jianghuai battlefield was decided.

After all, Zhu Di, who was left with only an isolated city at the time, had lost the ability to interfere with Guo Ziyi's military operations.

Therefore, at that time Guo Ziyi could only allocate half of the navy to strengthen the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, although Wu Zixu's failure in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River was most directly related to his division of troops at that time, this cannot be simply attributed to Wu Zixu's mistake. It can only be said that their overall strength was not as good as that of the Jin army.

It is precisely because their strength is not as good as others that no matter what they choose, their choices will be wrong in the end.

However, although Zhu Yuanzhang lost too much in the war in the south and his life was about to come to an end, he did not feel too unwilling.

Yes, his life is about to end.

Now, he was being attacked by Yang Su and Chang Yuchun, and Bai Qi's army was heading towards Jingnan again. He was already in a desperate situation. Under such circumstances, it would naturally not take long before his life would come to an end.

Now, the soldiers have already changed their minds, but they were only suppressed by force by him. However, it can be suppressed for a while, but not forever. The problems that should be exposed will be exposed sooner or later.

By that time, I'm afraid he will be completely backfired upon.

But what can Zhu Yuanzhang do now?

When he embarked on this path, he was already mentally prepared!
