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

Chapter 214
Geng Zaicheng was taken aback when he heard Duke Huai call his name.

He really wanted to say that he didn't contemplate for a long time just now, but just lost his mind.

Facing Cheng De's expectant gaze, Geng Zaicheng suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and in a hurry, he became quick-witted and said, "To King Huai, the general thinks that the persimmons are soft, and whoever is weak, our Sizhou Army will fight!" who!"

Today, although the Sizhou Army is called the Daming Army to the outside world, the civil servants and generals of the Ming Dynasty are used to calling it the Sizhou Army.

Cheng De's face froze suddenly.

"What else?" Cheng De continued to ask.

Geng Zaicheng's forehead broke out in cold sweat, and his heart suddenly became tense.

What he just thought of is already his limit.Why, Duke Huai still wants to ask him?

Didn't he say enough?

Therefore, Geng Zaicheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "As for who is weak, although it seems obvious that it is Yu Que, but if the general really defeats Yu Que, then our Sizhou Army must be adjacent to Tianwan. Tianwan is not scary, what is scary is Chen Youliang who belongs to Tianwan in name. If we really are next to Chen Youliang at that time, I am afraid that even if we face Chen Youliang, our Sizhou army will not be able to win so easily."

"So, from the general's point of view, our Sizhou army should attack Zhang Shicheng first! As for whether Yu Que or Chen Youliang, let them consume each other, and our Sizhou army can just watch from the sidelines for the time being."

After all, Geng Zaicheng subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hands, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"That's right!" He Jiusi, one of the generals, echoed.

"It's true. I didn't expect General Geng to be able to say such an opinion. I'm really surprised!" Wei Xiao looked at Geng Zaicheng with a trace of admiration in his eyes.

In the entire camp of the Sizhou Army, those who joined Geng Zaicheng after him can all achieve the same position and rank as him, and they really have real skills.

In the line of civil servants, everyone also cast surprised glances at Geng Zaicheng.

From their point of view, this Geng Zaicheng usually looks bold and unrestrained, but unexpectedly he is also a scheming person.

Really, not to be underestimated.

Cheng De fell silent after listening to Geng Zaicheng's words.

He then scanned around the civil servants and generals, and found that everyone present seemed to agree with Geng Zaicheng's opinion.

However, Cheng De has a different opinion in his heart.

In Cheng De's view, Chen Youliang's threat to him was far better than Zhang Shicheng's.

In Zhang Shicheng's place, he had placed two spies, and they had a good time there. They were all high-ranking and powerful people. Everything that happened was under Cheng De's control.

Including things in the court, and things in the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, thinking about it in his heart, Cheng De felt that dealing with Zhang Shicheng should not be too difficult.

The reason why it was easy to attack Zhang Shicheng's Great Zhou was because the interior of the Great Zhou had already been breached.

Compared with Zhang Shicheng, this Chen Youliang is very different.

Although, at present, he has already arranged for a person to sneak in, and he has already gained the trust of Chen Youliang, and he is deeply trusted by Chen Youliang.

However, trust is also ordered.

Obviously, the person he sent out as an undercover agent - Zhang Jiuyi, according to his estimation, should be in the third series.

Cheng De cared very much about Chen Youliang. He had studied it carefully. From the perspective of trust, Chen Youliang's brother and sworn brother Zhang Dingbian ranked first in Chen Youliang's heart.

And the second rank is the military adviser who followed Chen Youliang at the beginning.

The last ones in the third row are Zhang Jiuyi and others sent by Cheng De to Chen Youliang's hometown Mianyang to join Chen Youliang.

Currently, Zhang Jiuyi serves as a general under Chen Youliang, leading [-] troops.

As for the rest of the people who were sent to Chen Youliang as undercover agents, according to the information that was sent back recently, they all gradually lost their news.According to Cheng De's guess, these people probably died.

It is also possible that Chen Youliang discovered something and had already dealt with those people secretly.

All in all, at present, his control over Chen Youliang's side is not very strong.

If Chen Youliang is allowed to continue to grow bigger, then, when the two sides have a decisive battle in the future, will he still be able to beat Chen Youliang?
But if you want to fight Chen Youliang, you have to fight Yu Que first.

However, although Cheng De didn't know much about Yu Que, he seemed to have heard of this person in his previous memory.

From Cheng De's point of view, those who can leave a name in history must have some skills.

Therefore, Cheng De sent Jueshengwei and Jinyiwei to Anqing Road to inquire about Yu Que's intelligence.

However, to Cheng De's disappointment, according to the information, Yu Que was a civil servant.

The following inquires and sorts out the information about this person as follows:

Yu Que, with the word Tingxin and the word Tianxin, was born in Luzhou.His ancestors were from Tangwu, who lived in Wuwei, Hexi (. His father, Sala Zangbu, was an official in Luzhou, and Yu Que was called Hefei. Born on the eleventh day of the first month of the seventh year of Chengzong Dade in Yuan Dynasty (1303), he was a teenager on the fourth day. His father died and his family was very poor. He started studying at the age of 13.

In the first year of Yuantong (1333), Emperor Huizong of the Yuan Dynasty, Yu Que was ranked No. 2 in the Provincial Examination of Henan Province.

In the 12th year of Zhengzheng, the Red Scarf Army rose up, shaking the world. In the Yuan Dynasty, Yu Que was appointed as the deputy envoy of Xuanwei in Huaixi and the official of the Marshal of the capital, and divided troops to guard Anqing.

This information made Cheng De watch it many times, and he always felt that there must be something about Yu Que that he didn't know about.

For example, this person is likely to be a man who knows how to fight.

Of course, there may also be a person who can only talk on paper.

But this person can leave a name in history, I am afraid that he is not a person who only talks on paper.

At that moment, Cheng De really wanted to take Da Zhou Zhang Shicheng first.

But when Cheng De thought that Zhang Shicheng would clean up the local gentry class every time he attacked the Yuan army and seized the territory, he dismissed this idea.

What Cheng De thought was that in Zhang Shicheng's territory, let him first let Zhang Shicheng clean up those gentry classes who were interested in the Yuan Dynasty, so as to save him the trouble of attacking Zhang Shicheng's territory.

The reason why he had this idea was that his greatest confidence was the two undercover agents lurking beside Zhang Shicheng.

Of these two undercover agents, one held a high position in the Great Zhou court, and the other led one hundred thousand soldiers in the army. It can be said that as long as he Cheng De ordered the Sizhou Army to attack the Great Zhou, then basically, he would be undefeated.

One turned against the enemy before the battle, and the other court induced Zhang Shicheng to embark on the road of destruction.

Tsk tsk, Zhang Shicheng, your Da Zhou will never surpass my Da Ming's.

So, right now, it's time to take Chen Youliang under the knife.

However, if he wanted to beat Chen Youliang, he still couldn't reach him at the moment, so he had to take down Anqing Road guarded by Yu Que first.

And to win Anqing Road, you have to win Chao County and Wuwei Prefecture on Luzhou Road first.

If he remembered correctly, Hanshan City was guarded by Guo Xing.

And Hanshan City is very close to Chao County and Wuwei State.

Now Feng Guoyong is still attacking Cheli Buhua in Hefei on Luzhou Road. If he orders Guo Xing to lead the army to attack Chao County and Wuwei Prefecture, he can hold Cheli without spending part of the army, and by the way, reduce some of Feng Guoyong Second, it can also subdue a water bandit in Chaohu Lake, thereby strengthening the Daming water army.

However, if only Guo Xing is used, Cheng Deshang feels a little inappropriate.

Moreover, his fundamental goal was not Chao County, nor Wuwei State, but Anqing Road guarded by Yu Que.

After recalling the information about Yu Que again, Cheng De thought it over and decided to send both Geng Zaicheng and Chang Yuchun.

So, after Cheng De came back to his senses, he glanced at the civil servants and generals present, and finally set his sights on Geng Zaicheng: "Geng Zaicheng, at Maoshi tomorrow, you will order [-] troops to go to Hanshan City. Guo Xing, the defender of Hanshan City, and Hanshan All the people and horses in the mountain city are at your disposal. Besides, Chang Yuchun who lives in Zhenzhou, I will send someone [-] li to rush him to Nanjing City by Mao shi tomorrow. This time, you bring Chang Yuchun with you. "

"By the way, and also, you bring Chen Ting and Zhu Yuanzhang with you."

All the civil servants and generals present showed doubts.

Geng Zaicheng was stunned. Didn't he just tell King Huai that he wanted to attack Zhang Shicheng?

Why, now Duke Huai asked him to go to Hanshan City, and what did he ask him to do there?

Therefore, Geng Zaicheng looked at Cheng De and asked, "Prince Huai, I don't know if Prince Huai sent the general to Hanshan City—"

Cheng De found that after Geng Zaicheng raised this question, everyone present turned their attention to him.

Cheng De seemed to have noticed the doubts in everyone's eyes, so he said, "Just now we were discussing who to fight first. After careful consideration, this king decided to attack Anqing Road first, and then Chen Youliang at Tianwan. In this king's eyes, This Chen Youliang is much more of a threat than Zhang Shicheng. If Chen Youliang is given some more time, I am afraid that we will be very troublesome when we face Chen Youliang. This is very detrimental to our Ming army's goal of unifying the south."

"Moreover, there is another important reason why this king insists on not attacking Zhang Shicheng first instead of the troublesome Chen Youliang. That is, Zhang Shicheng has some arrangements from this king. These arrangements, no matter how noisy Zhang Shicheng's big week is, , this king is confident that our Ming Dynasty can easily defeat Da Zhou. As for what arrangement this king has made with Zhang Shicheng, it is a top-secret matter, and this king will not disclose it."

"Think about it, everyone. If we defeat Chen Youliang first, and then defeat Zhang Shicheng in one fell swoop, who do you think will the hearts of the people of the whole world turn to? This world has been in chaos for a long time, and the people hope to live in peace. We If the south is to be unified, this king has reason to believe that the minds of the people in the north will change at that time, and more and more people will turn their hearts towards our Great Ming."

"In the end, expelling the barbarians and restoring China will surely come true!"

All the people present were brightened, and they all admired Cheng De's foresight from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, everyone said one after another: "Duke Huai is wise!"

Cheng De smiled and said to Geng Zaicheng: "Speaking of which, I asked you to lead the army to Hanshan City this time, because I want you to attack Anqing Road guarded by Yu Que. Before attacking Anqing Road, take Chao County and Wuwei Prefecture first. After Chao County and Wuwei Prefecture are captured, you will lead your troops to attack Anqing Road. However, you must not be careless in this battle. Yu Que, the guard of Anqing Road, is a man who knows how to fight, so when using troops, you must not underestimate the enemy."

Geng Zaicheng immediately replied: "Follow the order! Please rest assured, Prince Huai, the general will definitely take down Anqing Road!"

Cheng De nodded and said, "Well, for this battle, I'll be waiting for your victory report from Geng Zaicheng in Nanjing City."

Geng Zaicheng quickly replied, "Yes!"

"Also, if you lose the battle against Anqing Road, then, when the time comes, you can unite with Feng Guoyong first, and the two of you join forces to defeat Chelibuhua and take Luzhou Road. However, when the time comes, attack The chief general of Anqing Road is no longer you, but Feng Guoyong. At that time, you will serve as Feng Guoyong's deputy general, and the two of you will join forces. What I said is not from the Changyuan army. Prestige, but the principle that this king has always used in military affairs - not thinking about victory, but first thinking about defeat!" Cheng De added.

When Geng Zaicheng heard the words, he nodded and said: "The general knows, if the general really loses in the battle, then the general must follow the order of King Huai and become Dudu Feng's deputy."

Cheng De glanced at Geng Zaicheng with satisfaction: "Very well, you go down and prepare for the battle first! I will send people to transport all the supplies needed for this war to Hanshan City today."

Geng Zaicheng replied: "The last general will retire!"

After Geng Zaicheng left, Cheng De glanced at everyone, and then said: "Now that the strategy has been decided, I hope that everyone will perform their duties and work together. If anyone neglects their duties and commits crimes during this period, This king will not spare me."

All the people present were stunned and lowered their heads, not daring to look Cheng De directly.

They only felt that Huai Wang Cheng De's power was getting heavier and heavier, which made them feel an unbearable sense of oppression.

When everyone looked up again, they found that Huai Wang Cheng De was no longer there.

However, they recalled the strategy they had set this time: fight Yu Que first, then Tianwan Chen Youliang, and then Zhang Shicheng.

They get very excited just thinking about it.

Daming, perhaps will be the last rebel army.

Their Duke Huai has great hopes of ascending to the rank of Ninth Five-Year Lord in the future.

And those of them who follow Duke Huai will further expand their power in the future.

Even manage the whole world!

What kind of scene should that be?

What a dream!
