Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 698

The news that Fu Jian and other vassal forces were defeated in Liangzhou was indeed surprising, but at the same time, there were several other events that generated considerable enthusiasm.

After Han Sui, another prince finally went to perish.As for the forces of various princes who have risen in disorder since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, they lost their way again.

However, the continuous decrease of princes does not mean that the chaos in the world is about to end, but it means that the climax of the chaos in the world is approaching step by step.

In Yangzhou, a fire ignited soaring into the sky, turning the entire sky red, and the appearance of this fire also represented the end of a prince.

"Come on, put out the fire, put out the fire!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the soaring fire in disbelief, and shouted at the soldiers around him in horror.

Zhu Yuanzhang never imagined that this Hong Xiuquan would be so ruthless that he dared to take people from Shouchun City to be buried with him.

"How dare he? How dare he, Hong Xiuquan?" Zhu Yuanzhang roared with a distorted expression.

Shouchun is the administrative center of Jiujiang, which originally had the largest population in Jiujiang. After so many years of supply by the system, it now has a population of more than 20.Now Hong Xiuquan's fire represents 20 wronged souls!
20 innocent civilians are about to be buried here, and even Zhu Yuanzhang feels indescribable at this moment.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang has been able to deal with Hong Xiuquan since a long time ago.However, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately left Hong Xiuquan behind, playing a role in raising the bandits' self-respect.

When Zhu Yuanzhang started his family, he relied heavily on the strength of the Jiangdong family. With the development and growth of Zhu Yuanzhang's power, the power of each Jiangdong family in Zhu Yuanzhang's power continued to grow.

In fact, this kind of situation not only happened to Zhu Yuanzhang, but also to a greater or lesser extent, all the princes in the current world who have grown stronger through the power of the aristocratic family.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang left Hong Xiuquan in order to use Hong Xiuquan's hand to consume the power of the Jiangdong family.Moreover, only when these Jiangdong families continue to feel the threat of Hong Xiuquan, are they willing to take the initiative to bleed, and Zhu Yuanzhang can continue to absorb the power of these families and continue to grow himself.

However, the big and small aristocratic families in Jiangdong are not all fools. It is impossible to not find any clues all the time, and they will not always be willing to donate blood to Zhu Yuanzhang.Therefore, in recent years, Hong Xiuquan's role has been diminished and diminished.

In addition, since Dong Zhuo challenged Dong, all the princes are working hard to expand their territories.Under such circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang was also thinking about further expanding his territory and eliminating Hong Xiuquan, so as to truly occupy Yangzhou.

Taking advantage of Yuan Shu's proclaiming the emperor and Jin Wang Li Xiang's attack on Yongliang, all the princes in the world were basically involved in it. Wars broke out in various states one after another, and no one had the energy to interfere with Zhu Yuanzhang's actions.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately divided his troops into two groups, one with his nephew Zhu Wenzheng as the main general, leading Yang Kan, Deng Tianwang, Feng Qianlang and others to attack Lujiang, and the other with him personally leading the troops, with Wang Yanzhang, Wang Yantong, Feng Sheng They will aggressively attack Jiujiang where Hong Xiuquan is located.

As for Hong Xiuquan, at the beginning of the uprising, he could barely be said to have worked hard to govern, and he still had some wild hopes and ambitions in his heart.

However, after gaining power, especially after Yang Jian's imperial edict, Hong Xiuquan's hidden desire broke out completely.

In order to build the Heavenly King's Mansion, Hong Xiuquan expropriated tens of thousands of civilian husbands every day, and all the surrounding tens of thousands of private houses were demolished.When Hong Xiuquan went on tour, he was so grand and imposing that Qin Shihuang would feel ashamed if he saw it during his east tour.

Every once in a while, Hong Xiuquan would choose beauties from all over the country to enrich his harem, and manage the Heavenly King's Mansion according to his own ideas. He did not choose eunuchs, but young and beautiful women. The Heavenly King's Mansion is full of female officials And the maids, all young and beautiful women, are like a garden of Eden.

It can be said that in terms of the number of harem, not to mention the Qin and Han dynasties, even the subsequent dynasties, there may not be anyone who can compare with Hong Xiuquan.

It is precisely because Hong Xiuquan once went to luxury, depravity and corruption, and the people in the place where his power is located are in dire straits, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly grasps the hearts of the people every time he goes to the ground, and almost does not need to send people to subdue the hearts of the people.

And the long-term corrupt life corroded not only the high-level people represented by Hong Xiuquan, but also the ordinary soldiers at the bottom.Under such circumstances, the combat power of Hong Xiuquan's army declined severely. Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's attack, he had little power to fight back.

On the way of Zhu Wenzheng, Zhu Wenzheng used a tactic of deceitful defeat to lure the enemy to attack. After the enemy entered the ambush circle, he fought out in all directions and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop.

During the battle, Yang Kan beheaded Hong Xiuquan's general Lin Fengxiang, Feng Qianlang was captured alive and implanted as Hong Xiuquan's relatives Hong Daquan and Hong Renzheng, Deng Tianwang killed Hong Xiuquan's general Yang Xiuqing among the thousands of troops, and captured Hong Xiuquan's general Chen Chen alive. Perfect.

Yang Xiuqing's defeat also destroyed Hong Xiuquan's main force in Lujiang County. After that, Shi Dakai had no soldiers to use. Although he tried his best to resist, he was unable to defeat the general situation and had to retreat steadily.

Under the suggestion of Jing Xiang, a military adviser, Zhu Wenzheng encircled and did not attack Shu County, which Shi Dakai was guarding, and implemented a strategy of attacking him.

Zhu Wenzheng spread the notice of Hong Xiuquan's evil deeds throughout Shu County, and sent spies to publicize Hong Xiuquan's impending death and the people's living and working conditions under Zhu Yuanzhang's rule in Shu County, which changed people's minds in Shu County.

Since the siege of the city for more than ten days, there have been no less than ten incidents of civilians attacking the city gates. Shi Dakai did not want to bloodily suppress these rioting civilians, so he had no choice but to open the city gates, and he led the last group of cronies Stay in the city lord's mansion and prepare for the bloody battle to the end.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been at war with Hong Xiuquan's forces for many years, and he has admired the number one general under Hong Xiuquan's command for a long time.Therefore, as early as before the war, Zhu Yuanzhang had ordered Zhu Wenzheng to capture Shi Dakai alive if he could.

Therefore, Zhu Wenzheng did not kill Shi Dakai, but ordered Feng Qianlang and Deng Tianwang to take down Shi Dakai together.

Although Shi Dakai wanted to die wholeheartedly, neither Feng Qianlang nor Deng Tianwang was his opponent.Now, these two people attack together, how can Shi Dakai have the power to resist, even if he wants to swing his sword at the last moment, he can't do it at all.

Yang Xiuqing and Shi Dakai, who were in charge of Lujiang County, were killed and captured. Lujiang County had no power to fight back. The rest of the counties that Zhu Wenzheng had not captured also left the city to surrender, waiting for Zhu Wenzheng to send troops to take over.
