"Reporting to the King of Han, I have already killed the old man's entire family!"
Zhang Bixian picked up his bloody head and hurriedly returned to life.
Chen Youliang was also stunned. He did want to kill Zhao Pusheng, but he didn't want to kill Zhao Pusheng's whole family. This was going too far.
"You, why are you doing this?" Chen Youliang scolded slightly.
Zhang Bixian was a little stunned, and then said: "Your Highness, the old man has too many minions and cronies. If I don't kill them all, I'm afraid they will escape and seek refuge with Zhu Chongba! Let's cut them off!"
Chen Youliang was silent. What he said was too fart. If Zhao Pusheng died, what use would his family be? But Chen Youliang didn't say anything else after all.
If he could kill Ni Wenjun and Xu Shouhui, and massacre the whole family, the people below him would imitate him. Moreover, people like Zhang Bixian coveted the position of Grand Master.
Kill Zhao Pusheng's entire family and then his old troops to free up enough positions.
If you, the King of Han, are promoted to a higher level, the people below you should also share in the benefits.
This bloody, bandit and beast law is exactly what Chen Youliang believes in.
After a long silence, Chen Youliang said: "Forget it, there is another person who wants you to take care of it, so don't do it randomly!"
Zhang Bixian agreed with all his heart and said with a smile: "King of Han, are you talking about Prime Minister Zou Pusheng?"
Chen Youliang did not refute, but said: "He was one of the people who advocated for Xu Shouhui to ascend the throne. Now he is still in Hanyang. You can take care of him. Just stay away from the limelight. If Captain Zhang knows about it, I'm afraid he won't follow you.
Those who are willing to give up."
Zhang Bixian thought for a moment, then hurriedly said: "Thank you, King Han, for protecting me. I will leave now."
Just as he was about to leave, he heard footsteps outside and someone shouting that Captain Zhang Dingbian was coming.
Chen Youliang hurriedly winked at Zhang Bi and told him to run from behind.
Zhang Bixian ran away in a hurry. As soon as he left, Zhang Dingbian rushed in with red eyes.
As soon as he saw Chen Youliang, Zhang Dingbian said angrily: "Where is that thief Zhang Bixian? Why did he want to slaughter the whole family of Grand Master Zhao?"
Even after asking both sides, Chen Youliang remained silent.
Zhang Ding looked around, but couldn't find Zhang Bixian. He knew that Chen Youliang had protected him, and he couldn't help but feel sad, "Your Highness, the King of Han, was the first to establish a country in Tianwan and proclaimed himself emperor. He also occupied Huguang, Jiangxi, and had access to the Yangtze River.
The time and place are favorable, and if there can be harmony between the upper and lower levels, and the hearts of the people can unite, sweeping the world, and unifying the world, it will be just around the corner. Why would the King of Han have to kill them all and leave no room for them? "
Chen Youliang stared at Zhang Dingbian silently. After a long time, he sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to cut corners.
But no matter how high or low, who can allow me to be open-minded?"
Zhang Dingbian was startled and blurted out: "You are the King of Han, who dares to persecute you? Could it be that thief Zhang Bixian?"
"It's you!"
Chen Youliang suddenly widened his eyes and roared: "Zhang Dingbian, although you and I are monarchs and ministers, we have been sworn brothers in our early years. I regard you as my brother and sister. Can't you see that Zhao Pusheng, Zou Pusheng and others, and I have absolutely no choice?"
If we don't get rid of them, how can I sit firmly on the throne? If I can't sit firmly, where will your glory and wealth come from? "
Zhang Dingbian was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "I, I don't need this lieutenant!"
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Zhang Dingbian also felt a little regretful. He was indeed confused by anger.
Originally he was opposed to killing Zhao Pusheng casually, but in the end he not only killed Zhao Pusheng, but also wiped out his entire family. It was simply unreasonable.
In a fit of anger, Zhang Dingbian came to Zhang Bixian to settle accounts, and also to show Chen Youliang.
However, he did not really intend to fall out with Chen Youliang. In fact, the two have been friends for many years and have a close relationship, and they really will not fall out easily.
After a long while, Zhang Dingbian couldn't bear it any longer and bowed and said, "I'm so presumptuous. Please punish me by the King of Han."
At this time, Chen Youliang stood up, walked to Zhang Dingbian, reached out and patted his shoulder, and sighed: "I know you are a kind person, but in this troubled world, if you are not ruthless and unwilling to kill, you will not survive.
Do you think Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't kill people? You are wrong, he killed more than me. From Huaixi to Jinling, from Jinling to eastern Zhejiang, many wealthy families were forced to lose their families by him."
Zhang Dingbian was stunned, are these the same?
Before he could ask back, Chen Youliang sneered: "Perhaps you don't know yet. Anyone who plans to surrender and overthrow Zhu Yuanzhang is like a crucian carp crossing the river. Ding Pulang and Fu Youde haha, there may not be such people under Zhu Yuanzhang!"
"
Zhang Dingbian was very surprised and looked at Chen Youliang in disbelief?
"His Royal Highness, King of Han, actually, someone is willing to take refuge?"
After Zhang Bixian finished speaking, he also felt that his tone was wrong. Could it be that Chen Youliang was a piece of shit? He was not even worth seeking refuge with?
Fortunately, Chen Youliang did not pursue his gaffe, but simply said: "Zhu Yuanzhang's plan for Anqing is nothing... The difference between gain and loss is common sense. I can regain face with a backhand. You go to Hukou now
Camp, order 30,000 troops, attack immediately! "
Chen Youliang pulled Zhang Dingbian to the front of the map and placed his finger on a spot!
Zhang Ding looked at it again and again, feeling awe-inspiring in his heart.
This move worked well.
Zhu Yuanzhang struggled in Jiangbei, and we made a breakthrough in Jiangnan.
Zhang Ding nodded, turned around and walked a few steps, but then turned back and said: "Your Highness, King of Han, I have the courage to speak out, so I would like to ask King of Han not to kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
Chen Youliang took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I understand."
Only then did Zhang Dingbian agree and turn around to go down...
Zhao Pusheng was killed, and the news naturally could not escape the eyes of those who were interested. The speedboat sailed down the river, and in less than half a day's journey, it was delivered to the Zhu Jiajun.
Zhang Ximeng received it in his hand and was surprised and happy.
"My lord, as long as Chen Youliang does something, he will do it extremely well... Zhao Pusheng is dead, and Zou Zengsheng,
And Ou Puxiang, these old men from the Peng Party will all be cleaned out by him, leaving no one behind."
Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly surprised and then returned to normal.
"Sir, what do you think Chen Youliang will do next? Should he concentrate on dealing with these people, or?"
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said: "Chen Youliang is not the person to deal with internal affairs! When he has reached this point, he can only keep using troops and rely on continuous victory to suppress the disturbance below. If what I expected is right, Chen Youliang can't wait.
We are about to mobilize our troops. And we will go all out to defeat us in one battle!"
Lao Zhu thought for a moment, then cheered up and entered a fighting state.
When it comes to military affairs, he is three points more powerful than Zhang Ximeng.
The purpose of sending troops this time was to find an opportunity to have a decisive battle with Chen Youliang.
It's just that Anqing fell into his hands, which made the whole battle situation a little different.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng looked at the map. Since Anqing changed hands, Chen Youliang no longer had any focus in Jiangbei.
The current battlefield falls on the Yangtze River line and the south of the Yangtze River.
In front of the Zhu Jiajun, the most reliable offensive route is to go upstream from Anqing to Xiaogushan.
Go straight to Jiangzhou and fight to the death with Chen Youliang.
There is another route, which is to take Hongdu, where the army will take a detour and attack Chen Youliang's soft belly.
"By taking the Yangtze River and going upstream, the gap in the navy cannot be ignored. Marching from Hongdu can certainly avoid the navy's shortcomings, but it will also cost the troops on expeditions and waste food and fodder..."
Zhu Yuanzhang secretly thought that in fact, their original plan was to attract Chen Youliang to attack, but Zhang Ziming did this, which made the battle situation confusing.
"Lord, what do you think of this road?"
Zhang Ximeng pointed to an area south of the Yangtze River.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, "Sir, this is Jiuhua Mountain, this is Huangshan Mountain, the terrain is difficult, and the mountains are densely covered with hills. By the time we trudge across the mountains and rivers, we may be exhausted, and without a decisive battle, we will lose half of the battle!"
Zhang Ximeng took a breath, suddenly raised his head, and said to Lao Zhu: "Master, what if Chen Youliang marches from here?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned subconsciously. Chen Youliang took the initiative to attack?
Now that he is in trouble at home and abroad, can he still have the ability to launch an attack?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked solemn. He sat down slowly, thought about it again and again, and suddenly raised his head and said: "Who is guarding Fuliang?"
"It's Vincent Zhu!"
Zhang Ximeng said immediately.
This Zhu Wenxun was actually one of the young men whom Zhu Yuanzhang took in on his way south to Chuzhou. He also lost his parents and was left alone.
Lao Zhu left them in the military camp. The situation was similar to Zhu Ying's, except that they were a few years older. Lao Zhu did not let them recognize their godfather, but he treated them as his own children and took good care of them.
In fact, it can be seen from the names that except Zhu Ying, when naming others, Lao Zhu likes to add a word, Wenzhong, Wenzheng, Wenxun...
Including the Ma family, they were also very kind to these young people. They had enough food and clothing, and they learned literature and martial arts. When they were fifteen or sixteen years old, they began to experience in the army.
This Zhu Wenxun is considered the best among them. He was promoted to deputy commander in terms of merit, second only to the Huaixi generals of Zhu Jiajun, and he was very popular with Lao Zhu.
"Although Zhu Wenxun is good, I'm afraid he is not a match for Chen Youliang's powerful men... We want to write a letter to him,
Let him pay attention."
Lao Zhu immediately picked up the pen and quickly wrote a letter, but who should send it?
"Leave it to Zhu Ying!"
Zhang Ximeng suggested that because of him, Lao Zhu did not recognize the young man who was older than Zhang Ximeng as his godson.
But someone like Zhu Wenxun is almost like a godson, and they play best with Zhu Ying, so it is natural for them to let Zhu Ying go.
Lao Zhu nodded. His godson may seem out of touch, but when it comes time to use him, he probably won't let him down.
He immediately called Zhu Ying over, explained a few words, and gave the letter to Zhu Ying.
Zhu Ying did not hesitate, set off immediately, mounted a fast horse, and headed straight for Fuliang... This boy also knew that the military situation was urgent, so he did not stop for a moment, changing horses without changing people, and ran for almost a day to reach Fuliang Prefecture.
After entering the city, we went directly to Zhizhou Yamen and met Zhizhou Xu Ai.
"I want to see Vincent Zhu, where are the others?
Xu Ai said hurriedly: "He led the troops to inspect Shimen and will be back in the afternoon."
Zhu Ying nodded, feeling a little relieved, and said to Xu Ai: "Xu Zhizhou, send someone to call my brother.
Here is a letter from the superior."
As soon as she heard that the letter was from Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Ai did not dare to hesitate and sent someone in a hurry... But the person had just left, and a short while later, he came back crying.
"Sir, something bad happened. Qianhu Li Youzhi rebelled and killed General Zhu and Wang Ding Wang Qianhu. They are leading Chen Jun towards Fuliang!"
"What?" Xu Ai felt her eyes go dark and almost fainted.
Zhu Ying also stood up in shock.
What?
Zhu Wenxun is dead!
The man whom the godfather regarded as his own son died in the hands of Chen Youliang!
Just when he was surprised, Xu Ai stumbled and was about to run outside... Zhu Ying jumped over, grabbed Xu Ai's collar, and roared: "Don't run! Send an order to close the city gate! Defend Fuliang!"
Xu Ai stared blankly at Zhu Ying, who was not yet fifteen years old. Can you do that? **
