At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 122 I don't fight for a moment, but for thousands of generations
In a flash, fifteen days passed.

On February 12th of the 29th year of Zhizheng, the Taizhou City Yuan Army lost to Zhang Shicheng, and Zhang Shicheng captured Taizhou City.

On March NO.12 of the 12th year of Zhizheng, Zhang Shicheng conquered Xinghua City, He Sanwu was forced to retreat and retreated to Baoying City.

On March [-]th, Zhang Shicheng conquered Rugao City and Hai'an City.

On March [-], under the advice of Li Xingsu and others, Zhang Shicheng established the capital in Xinghua City, proclaimed him King Cheng, named the country Dazhou, and commemorated the year with God's Blessing.

Cheng De put down the information sent by Jueshengwei and thought about it.

He immediately summoned Luo Mao, Liu Bowen, and Yao Guangxiao to the Chinese army's tent to discuss matters.

Not long after, Luo Mao and others arrived.

Cheng De went straight to the point and said, "Now Zhang Shicheng has won Xinghua City, Taizhou City, Yancheng and other places, and he has also established a capital and become king. I wonder what you think about this matter?"

As soon as the words fell, Yao Guangxiao said: "From the point of view of my subordinates, the general should also be called king."

Cheng De was present in silence for a moment, and looked at Yao Guangxiao: "There is no rush to become king for the time being. All along, what I pursue is still building high walls, accumulating food widely, and becoming king slowly. If the perfect time does not come, this matter will be over." Talk again."

Yao Guangxiao froze, looked at Cheng De and asked, "May I ask the general, what is the best time?"

Cheng De looked around at the crowd, and replied calmly: "The capture of Jinling on Jiqing Road is an excellent opportunity."

Yao Guangxiao was not disappointed, on the contrary, he was quite excited.

Jinling has always been an imperial state.

When the general can tell him that it is time to win Jinling, it means that the general has a lot of ambition.

And the general, being able to tell them this kind of thing, just shows that they are the general's confidantes.

Liu Bowen on the side sighed slightly in his heart.

He finally let go of his previous prejudices and decided to stay and assist Cheng De.

These days, after his observation, General Cheng De is indeed worthy of training.

Moreover, the killing intent is not that strong.

The cunning rabbit dies, but the good dog cooks.

After observing this kind of thing for a long time, he finally came to the conclusion that as long as he didn't make any mistakes, the general wouldn't do anything to him.

But if you make a mistake, that's another matter.

Liu Bowen put away his miscellaneous thoughts, bowed to Cheng De, and said: "General, my subordinates think that the general must be called king."

Cheng De was taken aback, then looked at Liu Bowen in a daze: "As I said just now, it's not the best time."

But Liu Bowen said: "General, this is the best time."

Cheng De shifted his gaze to Liu Bowen.

"Zhang Shicheng has already proclaimed himself king, Xu Shouhui has proclaimed emperor, and Liu Futong from the north guessed from his subordinates that he will also welcome Han Liner as king, or even emperor. Is there a specific reason? The subordinates think it is because of political needs. To be king, you can Take up a great righteousness, so that you can unite the generals of the Red Scarf Army uprising army in the north, at least on the surface. This is beneficial to the anti-Yuan."

"And when the time comes, among the most powerful rebel armies in the whole world, only the general will lose one end. In name, he will also be at a disadvantage, and he will also lose a bit in terms of momentum."

Hearing Liu Bowen's words, Cheng De didn't respond immediately. He frowned and pondered.

"I don't fight for one moment, but for thousands of generations!" Cheng De said with a gleam in his eyes.

"So, let them fight for these titles for the time being. In my eyes, among all the heroes in the world, even if I am still a general, that is the only one in the world. If I want to do it, I will be above those kings General! Then, what difference does it make if you are called king or not?"

"Besides, now we need to focus more on the matter of taking down Gaoyou City, rather than becoming king. Being king means a lot of money, which is not good for our Sizhou army at present. For the sake of a name, It's not worth the money. Of course, Master Liu's words are also reasonable. Based on the overall balance, I still insist on winning Jinling City on Jiqing Road before discussing the matter of becoming king. I don't know what you think?

Cheng De's words set off a storm in the hearts of Luo Mao, Yao Guangxiao, and Liu Bowen.

Luo Mao thought that the general should focus on being pragmatic.

Liu Bowen thought that the general did not claim the title of king because he had no real benefits, only false ones.

Yao Guangxiao thought that the general was an ambitious hero who was unique in the whole world.

Seeing Luo Mao, Liu Bowen, and Yao Guangxiao being suppressed by himself, Cheng De suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, I won't mention these things. Right now, let's talk about how to win Gaoyou City. I The injury has healed after more than half a month, and it is time to win Gaoyou City. Let’s all discuss how we can take Gaoyou City!"

Luo Mao, Liu Bowen, and Yao Guangxiao fell into deep thought when they heard the words.

"General, have you considered persuading Gong Buban to surrender?" Luo Mao asked.

Cheng De asked back: "Gong Buban, after all, is an important minister of the Yuan Dynasty. Will he surrender to our Sizhou Army?"

Luo Mao said with a smile: "These days, my subordinates have sent people to collect information about Gong Buban. After comprehensive analysis of multiple sources of intelligence, Gong Buban is just a lustful person with no skills. The subordinates think that , seduced by great profits and beauty, this person will surely lead the Yuan army to surrender. Moreover, the general has been besieged under Gaoyou City for so long, and Gaoyou City consumes countless grains every day. Counting the days, it should be Run out."

Cheng De was silent for a while, and asked, "Where does this beauty come from?"

"Have you forgotten, the general, those female assassins who assassinated you outside Huai'an City before? The other ninety stunning women are still locked up in Huai'an City!" Luo Mao reminded.

Cheng De was silent for a while, and then said: "Those women, if there is no problem, let them go! Or, let them choose soldiers in our Sizhou Army as husbands, have someone to rely on, and live a good life in the future. Of course, this This matter cannot be forced, especially those unmarried soldiers. You must not force those women. You must make them see each other correctly. This matter will be left to you after taking Gaoyou City this time. Let's do it!"

Luo Mao was stunned, "But, General, this Gong Buban—"

Cheng De directly interrupted: "Using beauty to seduce the Yuan army is such a low-level strategy, there is no need to mention it in the future. Moreover, those women, in my opinion, are not goods. They are real people. Have you ever thought that if we do this, and when the world is pacified in the future, if our descendants are held back by Hulu and are at a disadvantage, will they take the children of the people under the rule of our Sizhou army? , to ask for peace, to exchange for their peace?"

"This matter cannot be done, and this wind cannot last long."

Luo Mao nodded: "If this is the case, then Gong Buban can only lure him with huge profits."

When Cheng De heard Luo Mao's words, his eyes flashed.

"You said earlier that this Gongbu class has no ability to stand by?"

Hearing Cheng De's question, Luo Mao looked at Cheng De and nodded.

Cheng De opened his mouth and said: "You say, if you surround three and miss one, can you take Gaoyou City?"

"If I tell everyone in Gaoyou City that I want to use Gong Buban's head as a urinal, do you think Gong Buban is still sleeping soundly?"

"Furthermore, the siege equipment that Yao Jijiu transported from Sizhou can be put to good use. It may not be impossible to storm Gaoyou City."

"Finally, Luo Canjun also mentioned that there is not much food left in Gaoyou City. I am afraid that the Yuan army in Gaoyou City has lost their morale."

Hearing Cheng De's words, Luo Mao and Yao Guangxiao looked at each other, and said: "The general has a heavy responsibility. For the storming of Gaoyou City, we can send other people to storm it. Moreover, our Sizhou Army happens to have a regular vanguard who attacked the city. I think it’s better for him to be responsible for this matter.”

Cheng De replied: "This is Chang Yuchun, but what about in Jinhu City? What if he..."

Luo Mao replied: "Chang Xianfeng has arrived at the barracks."

"Huh? Why did he come to Gaoyou City without my order?" Cheng De's eyes were a little calm.

Luo Mao was startled, "Isn't it an order from the general?"

Cheng De looked at Luo Mao and frowned, "Why did I ever order that?"

Speaking of this, Cheng De's complexion changed.

"Chang Yuchun said, who gave him the order?"

"Chang Yuchun said, it's Jueshengwei."

"The Absolute Guard?"

"Yes."

Cheng De's eyes glowed with a gloomy light, "Can you find the person who gave orders to Chang Yuchun now?"

Luo Mao smiled wryly and said, "It must be impossible. This matter, according to the subordinate's wishes, should be reported to the Commander of the Jueshengwei."

Cheng De nodded: "Yeah. You can arrange it. Besides, who does Chang Yuchun arrange to guard Jinhu City?"

"He's from Zhang Village. His name is Zhang Liujiu. Now he's called Zhang Yu." Luo Mao replied.

"It turned out to be this person. I have a little impression, so there is no problem. As for the fact that Jueshengwei was able to falsely pass on my order, we must send someone to investigate strictly, and let Yang Zhongkai investigate to see if it is Jueshengwei. Some people with ulterior motives have entered." Cheng De told Luo Mao.

Luo Mao bowed and replied, "Yes."
