Chapter 251 Good warriors, no illustrious achievements

[After a day of fighting, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that his troops were united, their morale was high, and they were absolutely sure of defeating Chen Youliang, but he was worried that Zhang Shicheng would take the opportunity to attack his rear, so he ordered Xu Da to go back to guard Yingtian.

After Xu Datong arrived in Yingtian, he ordered the soldiers and strictly defended them, so that Zhang Shicheng did not dare to act rashly. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to relieve his worries and deal with Chen Youliang with all his strength.

In the decisive battle at Poyang Lake, Chang Yuchun played bravely.

He actively organized a fire attack, took advantage of the small boat, and set fire to the wind. Chen Youliang's fleet was burned to the sky, more than half of the soldiers were lost, and the lake was completely red.

Chen Youliang led the wrecked ship to withdraw to Hukou, and was pursued by Zhu Yuanzhang's generals and Chang Yuchun's head-on interception. In the melee, Chen Youliang was shot by Liu Ya and died.

In this battle, Zhu Yuanzhang wiped out Chen Youliang's 60 troops, reversing the balance of power between the two sides. 】

[In the 24th year of Zhizheng (AD 1364), Xu Da joined forces with Yang Qiong and others to take the roads of Jingxiang, including Jiangling, Yiling, Tanzhou, Guizhou, Chenzhou, Hengzhou, Baoqing, etc., and completely eliminated the remaining forces of Chen Youliang.

The demise of Chen Youliang's power also made Zhu Yuanzhang the strongest among the heroes. 】

[Since Zhang Shicheng joined Gaoyou in the 13th year of Zhizheng, he has often secretly colluded with the Yuan government and constantly harassed Zhu Yuanzhang's sphere of influence. It is really more annoying than flies.If it weren't for Chen Youliang still threatening Zhu Yuanzhang in the west, Zhu Yuanzhang would have wanted to kill Zhang Shicheng a long time ago.

Now that Chen Youliang, the confidant and confidant, has finally been wiped out, Zhu Yuanzhang will undoubtedly attack Zhang Shicheng next.

Zhang Shicheng occupied Changzhou, and he was attacking Zhenjiang with the Jiangdong rebel general Chen Baoer with his navy.

Chen Baoer is from Benniu Town, Changzhou. He gathers people in the village and wraps his head with a yellow handkerchief, known as the "Yellow Pack Army".

When Xu Da conquered Zhenjiang before, Chen Baoer surrendered, but was soon coerced by Zhang Shicheng and led his boat division to assist Zhenjiang.

Xu Da defeated Chen Baoer in Longtan and led his army to besiege Changzhou.

After Zhang Shicheng learned that Changzhou was besieged, he hurriedly sent reinforcements. They looked like a rainbow all the way, and they seemed unstoppable. 】

【After Xu Da found out the news that Zhang Shicheng's army was coming to help, he decisively set up an ambush at a place eighteen miles away from the city, and ordered Wang Jun to lead the cavalry to hide on the side and wait for orders.Xu Da himself led the remaining army to confront Zhang Shicheng's army head-on.

Soon after the start of the battle, Xu Da's general Wang Junyong led his cavalry into the enemy's position from the side. Zhang Shicheng's army was in chaos and turned around and fled, but was intercepted by ambushes again, causing countless casualties.

Zhang Shicheng was not reconciled to failure, so he lured 7000 people from Wu Xin's army as internal support, and surrounded Xu Da in Niutang.

Xu Da immediately led his troops to break through the siege, and ordered his deputy commander Chang Yuchun, Liao Yongan, Hu Dahai and others to rush to Niutang to attack from inside and outside, and finally defeated Zhang Shicheng's army. 】

[In the spring of the 23rd year of Zhengzheng (AD 1363), Liu Futong, the leader of the rebel army who wanted to restore the Song Dynasty, was defeated by Yuan soldiers, and Yonghan Lin'er retreated to Anfeng.

At this time, Zhang Shicheng accepted the Yuan government's call for security, and sent a general Lu Zhen to besiege Anfeng.

Xu Da was ordered to rush to help, defeated Lu Zhen, rescued Han Lin'er, and took advantage of the victory to attack Luzhou.Yuan general Zuo Junbi guarded it, but Xu Da failed to conquer it for three months, so he had to withdraw from the siege.

Later, after Lu Zhen killed Liu Futong, Zhang Shicheng believed that the Yuan government had made a contribution, so he asked Wang Jue, but the Yuan government refused, so Zhang Shicheng called himself King Wu. 】

[If Zhu Yuanzhang wants to launch the Northern Expedition, the rebels in the south or the minions of Meng Yuan must be wiped out.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang set a strategic policy to attack Zhang Shicheng, with a total of three steps.

The first step is to take Huaidong first, cut off its wings, and conquer the counties of Tongzhou, Xinghua, Yancheng, Taizhou, Gaoyou, Huai'an, Suzhou, and Anfeng in the Huaihe River waters, forcing Zhang Shicheng's forces to shrink to the south of the Yangtze River.

The second step is to sweep the west of Zhejiang, cut off its elbows and arms, form a situation of encircling Pingjiang, and conquer Huzhou, Jiaxing, Hangzhou and other towns;

Third, encircle Pingjiang and eliminate Zhang Shicheng.

In order to solve Zhang Shicheng quickly and safely, Zhu Yuanzhang entrusted this task to his most trusted commander, Xu Da! 】

[In October of the 25th year of Yuan Zhizheng, Xu Da was appointed as the general officer, and together with his deputy Chang Yuchun, he led his troops to attack Huaidong.

Xu Da sent his troops to the north, and soon captured Taizhou, Gaoyou, Huai'an and other places, and repelled the main force of the Yuan army in Xuzhou, capturing and beheading more than [-] Yuan soldiers.

In just half a year, all the places in Huaidong were conquered, and Zhang Shicheng's power was also compressed to the Jiangnan and Zhejiang regions.

The first step of the strategy to destroy Zhang Shicheng, which was set before, has basically been realized. 】

[From Yuan to Zhengzheng 26 years, Zhu Yuanzhang's army continued to advance.

Xu Da is still the general, and Chang Yuchun is the deputy general, commanding a total of 20 troops to attack Zhang Shicheng.

With Pingjiang as the center and Huzhou and Hangzhou as his wings, Zhang Shicheng resisted the attacks of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, which was very difficult.

After some careful consideration, Xu Da believed that the two states of Hu and Hangzhou were Zhang Shicheng's left and right arms. If both his left and right arms were cut off, then Pingjiang would naturally be at his fingertips.

Therefore, Xu Da suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang to attack Hu and Hangzhou first, and Zhu Yuanzhang agreed. 】

[Xu Da led the troops to attack Huzhou, and the defenders of Huzhou divided into three groups to resist Xu Da.

Xu Da also divided his troops into a three-way battle to meet the enemy, and sent General Xiao Kingdom to determine the enemy's return route.

After the fierce battle, the Huzhou defenders were defeated by Xu Da's army, so they had to retreat into the city and stand by for help.

Zhang Shicheng had no choice but to send Lu Zhen and other generals to lead [-] troops to support them. They were stationed in the old hall, keeping Xu Da's army at a distance.

The enemy's wings have not been removed and they are growing again. If the reinforcements are not removed, it will be difficult to conquer Huzhou and Hangzhou.

Therefore, Xu Da decided to suspend the siege, and sent troops to attack the enemy's reinforcement camp at night, successfully cutting off the food road for Lu Zhen's army.

Many reinforcements from the old museum surrendered because of the shortage of food and pay.

After conquering the old museum, Xu Da took advantage of the situation to attack Huzhou and Hangzhou. Soon, these two prefectures also fell one after another.

Zhang Shicheng's left and right arms were cut off, and Pingjiang has become an isolated city. 】

"I've seen all of this, why do I feel that Xu Da doesn't have any amazing records?"

"That's right! Chang Yuchun is still shining in Poyang Lake, but Xu Da, who is the number one commander under Zhu Yuanzhang, is just like a diligent old cow, working hard without complaint, but he has no outstanding military exploits."

"You know shit!"

"Hey! What do you mean? Why are you swearing?!"

"Have you heard a word?"

"What?"

"A good fighter has no great achievements!"

"I haven't heard of it, who said it?"

"Me! Cao Mengde!!!"

"."

"The reason why good fighters have no outstanding achievements is because they have already anticipated various situations and calculated the success or failure of both sides before taking action.

They never fight unprepared battles, so victory always seems logical, and there will be no such situation where thousands win tens of thousands, and tens of thousands win 10,000+. "

"Then are you a good fighter?"

"Of course, I, Cao Mengde, am familiar with the art of war, and there will never be a situation where the weak attack the strong!"

"Hey, I seem to have heard that the court seems to be looking for a man named Cao Cao with the word Meng De. Could it be you?"

". Farewell!"

Cao Cao covered his face and left, thinking to himself: "Luoyang really can't stay any longer, but the teacher won't leave. I can't help it. I'll go to persuade the teacher tonight. If he refuses to leave again, at least let me take Zhaoji and leave."
