Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 144: Threaten Zhang Cheng and kill him with his own hands!

Zhang Cheng knew that Zhao Pusheng was indeed not a simple figure in history.

This man is not only good at water fighting, but also good at land fighting.

More importantly, he is also quite good at guerrilla warfare.

Even a famous general like Xu Da has been defeated by this person repeatedly in history.

Therefore, once Zhao Pusheng cannot be used by his side and belongs to other forces, he will take his soldiers and horses to other forces.

In the future, this person will definitely still cause headaches to his side, thereby affecting the unification process.

"We must try to avoid this matter. Even if Zhao Pusheng wants to rebel, we cannot let him go!"

Therefore, Zhang Cheng recited this silently in his heart after Zhu Yuanzhang left.

then.

As soon as Zhao Pusheng said these words, Qi Xiang immediately took a step forward with his knife.

After hearing this, Zhang Cheng asked, "Why did General Zhao leave?"

After Chang Yuchun, Xie Zaixing, and Deng Yu arrived, Zhang Cheng gave them instructions, telling them to do this and this.

When Zhao Pusheng saw that Tang Shengzong and others were no less fierce than him, and saw that the ship on his side had been unmoored, he calmed down, turned back to the ship, pointed at Zhang Cheng, and continued to threaten:

Zhang Cheng lowered his face and said: "Since you have surrendered to Chuzhou Xingzhongshu Province, you can't just leave, otherwise it will be betrayal!"

Zhao Pusheng replied.

Zhao Pusheng asked.

"Damn you, young Hu Zhen!"

But Zhao Pusheng soon discovered that Zhang Cheng and Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers did not chase him, but Zhang Cheng still stood there and watched him.

Zhang Cheng saw that Zhao Pusheng's men were already unloading the cables, so he asked, "Is General Zhao leaving?"

After he discussed with Li Pusheng about rebelling, he has been sending people to closely monitor the situation of Li Pusheng and other old friends in Chaohu.

"You fucking wait!"

Zhang Cheng also shouted.

Because he always thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was just a person from a poorer background than him.

Therefore, Zhao Pusheng soon learned that Li Pusheng was invited to a banquet by Yu, Liao and others.

"General Zhao!"

So, Zhao Pusheng's boat slowly left the dock and headed for the river.

"Why can't you leave?"

Swish!
Tang Shengzong also pulled out his sword directly: "You try?"

In Zhao Pusheng's view, Zhu Yuanzhang now frequently talks about the ideal of great harmony, and also has people preach about the suffering of the people, especially the suffering of the people in Jiangnan, to arouse the sympathy of the rebels, make the rebels subject to more rules, and even mobilize the lower-level soldiers to force the rebels to The upper-level official schools followed Gao Shang, and they all must have been instigated by Zhang Cheng.

Therefore, Zhao Pusheng was actually dissatisfied with Zhang Cheng for a long time. At this moment, he yelled at Zhang Cheng and became violent with Zhang Cheng first.

Zhao Pusheng started talking to himself because of this, and then he couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly ordered his people: "Get on the boat immediately and prepare to leave!"

But it happened to be this time.

Zhao Pusheng suddenly pointed at Zhang Cheng and shouted loudly, and then glared at Zhang Cheng angrily:
"We've put up with you son of a bitch scholar for a long time!"

"If you invite Li Pusheng to a banquet at this time, aren't you afraid of being suspected by Zhu Yuanzhang?"

When Zhang Cheng saw that Tang Shengzong was returning from gathering troops at this time, he called him and brought Qi Xiang, who had been serving as his personal guard Qian Zong, to come to Zhao Pusheng in person.

"what's up?"

All three of them took the order and left.

"No, this is the Hongmen Banquet!"

Afterwards, Zhao Pusheng gave instructions to his general Zhao Niuer.

"You should be more sensible. If you surrender and rebel again, you will harm yourself!"

If it were not for Zhang Cheng, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have known anything about Datong, nor would he have thought of restoring China and rebuilding national dignity.

"let's go!"

Seeing this, Zhao Pusheng stood still and turned to look at Zhang Cheng:

Zhang Cheng has already brought Tang Shengzong and others.

Simultaneously.

Zhao Pusheng, who was already dissatisfied with Zhang Cheng, saw that Zhang Cheng said this and relied on his own stronger physique and superb martial arts skills, while the other party was just a scribe, so he suddenly wanted to teach Zhang Cheng a lesson with one hand and He continued to point his fist at Zhang Cheng with one hand, gnashed his teeth and walked towards Zhang Cheng, cursing:
"Damn you, believe it or not, I will kill you now!"

"Since you saw it, I won't hide it. I'm going to leave the Yangtze River and go south."

Zhao Pusheng is indeed more cautious than Li Pusheng.

Zhang Cheng looked at Zhao Pusheng calmly.

Zhang Cheng suppressed his anger and spoke in a deep voice.

This made Zhao Pusheng feel a little bad.

Therefore, Zhao Pusheng couldn't help but said: "It's strange why this Zhang Cheng didn't give the order to chase us, or send someone to inform Zhu Yuanzhang."

"Isn't it because you just pretended to beat him up and were frightened?"

"That's right, just like Ren Zhigong did to him, I guess he was scared out of his wits this time too!"

"Ha ha!"

Zhao Niuer and other general Zhao Pusheng started talking and started laughing.

Zhao Pusheng also smiled slightly, hiding his uneasiness, and glanced at Zhang Cheng again.

Seeing this, Zhang Cheng didn't say anything.

But he would not let Zhao Pusheng leave so easily.

After all, if a powerful general who has made Xu Dadu suffer many losses in history is unwilling to be used by people like himself because he only wants to be a reactionary, then he can only disappear early.

soon.

After Zhao Pusheng's ship came to the river and headed south, he found three larger warships waiting for him in the south. These three large ships were all flying the "Zhu" flag. Xie Zaixing was leading men with knives and cloth bows on the ship. The gun windows on the ship were all open, and the muzzles of several cannons were facing his warship.

Zhao Pusheng was shocked when he saw this.

Not long after, the warship where Xie Zaixing and others were on took the initiative to approach Zhao Pusheng's ship and shouted: "Where are you going, Mr. Zhao? Mr. Zhang asked me to wait here for you. I didn't expect you to come!"

"Turn around, mother, and vote for Hu Yuan!"

Zhao Pusheng knew the power of these artillery pieces, so he immediately ordered to turn around.

As a result, Zhao Pusheng's boat immediately turned around and headed north.

But not long after, Zhao Pusheng discovered that there were also three warships blocking his way to the north, and they were all heavily muzzled.

Seeing this, Zhao Pusheng began to panic and said hurriedly: "Look for an opportunity to dock the boat and leave from the land!"

Zhao Pusheng, who has always been good at land warfare, did not choose to fight Chang Yuchun and others on the water, but chose to go ashore and leave.

"Yes!"

Zhao Niu'er and others also panicked and did not dare to neglect. They hurriedly forced the boat to the shore, and even did not hesitate to let the boat hit the rocks on the shore, so that the boat directly broke a big hole, and Zhao Pusheng and others forcibly boarded. Arrived.

As soon as Zhao Pusheng landed, he immediately drew out his sword and prepared for a land battle.

His men also immediately entered into battle preparations.

But soon, Zhao Pusheng discovered that a large number of cavalry troops appeared in front, forming an arc directly, and there were many infantry archers behind them.

Deng Yu, who had just surrendered, rode up to him not far away and shouted: "General Zhao, since your ship has been damaged, surrender here. I have already been ordered to save my life, and I will wait for you here for a long time." "

Zhao Pusheng was completely frightened by the situations that appeared in front of him.

Because he didn't expect Zhang Cheng to have made these arrangements long ago.

"I underestimated him Zhang Cheng!"

"It seems like he really knows how to make clever plans."

As Zhao Pusheng spoke, his face became slumped, and his knees softened and he knelt on the ground.

When Zhao Niuer saw that his coach was discouraged, his morale suddenly disappeared and he didn't know what to do.

At this time, Deng Yu ordered Zhao Pusheng and others to be captured.
-
The May day after the rain is doubly hot.

Zhang Cheng, who was still sitting in the barracks near the river, shook the goose feather fan given to him by Zhu Yuanzhang and asked, "Has Zhao Pusheng returned?"

Tang Shengzong replied: "Not yet."

Zhang Cheng became even more irritable and restless. Even though the goose feather fan in his hand was still blowing the wind, he was still sweating on his forehead.

He didn't hope that Zhao Pusheng would really run away.

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but start to review in his mind. If Zhao Pusheng could run away even though he had prepared in advance, how could he run away?

Fortunately, not long after Zhang Cheng's review, Tang Shengzong came to report that Zhao Pusheng and others were taken into custody by Deng Yu.

Zhang Cheng stood up immediately when he saw this.

Afterwards, Zhang Cheng sat down again pretending to be calm.

He knew that he was now a leader of tens of thousands of rebels and a figure known as a military advisor, so he had to pretend to be better.

But after seeing Zhao Pusheng, Zhang Cheng stood up and remembered the previous scene where Zhao Pusheng verbally threatened him.

This made Zhang Cheng feel angry again, and he did not choose to suppress it again.

Because he wanted to vent his anger in front of Zhao Pusheng, and he had done so deliberately for a long time.

After Zhao Pusheng was taken here, he changed his attitude towards Zhang Cheng and begged: "Please give me another chance, Mr. Zhang!"

"Knife!"

Zhang Cheng only gave instructions to Tang Shengzong beside him.

Tang Shengzong hurriedly pulled out his waist knife and handed it to Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng held the waist knife and walked towards Zhao Pusheng with a serious face.

Zhao Pusheng began to open his eyes wide.

And then.

puff!
Zhang Cheng stabbed directly into Zhao Pusheng's body.

Another knife.

Another knife.

Another knife.

I don't know how many times I cut him until I was exhausted.

Zhang Cheng put many holes in Zhao Pusheng's body and said:

"What I hate most is people yelling and threatening me!"

Zhao Pusheng just kept vomiting blood, his pupils gradually dilated in panic, and finally became lifeless.

"Sign up with him and tell the whole army!"

"And them!"

Zhang Cheng then didn't bother to draw his sword and instead said something instead, pointing at Zhao Niuer and others and giving instructions.

Now there is no shortage of talented people who are good at water warfare and ambitious in the Rebel Army.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng had no intention of being more magnanimous, otherwise, these warriors would really think that he, a scribe, had a good temper.

"Mr. Zhang, who is so clever and calculating, please spare your life!"

Zhao Niuer also shouted at this time, and specifically called out the four words "divine plan" because these four words had been appearing in his mind when he was being escorted, so that he could not consciously say them even when he begged for mercy. .

Zhang Cheng ignored it.

Zhao Niuer and others were dragged down and had their heads chopped off like Zhao Pusheng.
-
"Answer him."

On Zhu Yuanzhang's side, when Li Pusheng asked Yu Tingyu and others why they were willing to live under him, he gave an order.

Yu Tingyu stood up at this time and said: "I won't say much else, just one thing. Mr. Zhang gave each of us a meeting gift after we surrendered. Li Pusheng, you should have received it too. There are two things in that meeting gift." : The first is the "Declaration of Datong" and the second is the "Global Map". Based on that meeting gift, do you think that since we are trying to conquer the country, why wouldn't we be more willing to work with someone who not only wants to be the emperor himself, but also wants to benefit everyone as much as possible? What about the power of wealth?"
