Chapter 780 Zhang Dingbian, the most powerful general in the late Yuan Dynasty
Wang Yu naturally highly recognized Liu Heitai's abilities.
But there is a saying that goes well: it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
Liu Heitai is indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he is only one person. Without the help of generals around him, it will be difficult for him to display his true strength.
After all, when he was arranging his troops to fight the enemy, he needed his men to complete his plan.
But the key point is that the characters Liu Heitai brought out this time were basically the opponents he defeated during his resistance to Li Tang, and there was no one who could handle them.
Moreover, it is still unknown whether these people will be systematically implanted under Dou Jiande.

There is no doubt that this Zhang Dingbian is the commentary version fused with the historical version.
In the Legend of the Heroes of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Youliang is one of the best among the many anti-kings in the world, so he naturally has many talents under his command, and among those talents, Zhang Dingbian has the most powerful ability.
In the Legend of Heroes, there are three and a half theories about the marshal of the world,
These three people are: Xu Da, Zhang Dingbian, and Fu Youde.
As for the remaining half, it was naturally mixed with soup.
Although Xu Da in the novel is not as fierce as his achievements in the official history, this is not because of his lack of ability, but because the author cannot depict such brilliant results.
After all, something like this cannot be written simply by imagination, so it can only be made up for through settings.
Anyway, the audience is just having fun.
If Zhang Dingbian in the novel is a commander who can be compared with Xu Da and is one of the best generals in the world, then Zhang Dingbian in the history is the most powerful general in the late Yuan Dynasty.
Even Chang Yuchun is no match for him.
According to legend, Zhang Dingbian was born into a fisherman's family. He was tall and tall, with five locks of beard under his chin. He was handsome and free-spirited. He knew astronomy and geography, practiced military art, martial arts, boxing skills, and was good at Qihuang.
He was a man who was eager for justice and loved justice, and was particular about drawing his sword to help when the road was rough. He was known as the most powerful general in the late Yuan Dynasty. The world said: "When it comes to bravery in the world, there is no one who can surpass him."
In Huangpeng Town, Hubei Province, he became sworn brothers with Chen Youliang and Zhang Bixian. The three brothers agreed to share life and death, to stay together through thick and thin, and to seek a common future!
After Chen Youliang's uprising, he chose to make Wuchang his capital, and Zhang Dingbian also began to fight in Jingchu, conquering important border towns in Liangjiang, Fujian, and Zhejiang. It can be said that he was invincible and invincible.
When Zhu Yuanzhang's general Kang Maocai submitted a letter and pretended to surrender, Zhang Dingbian tried to stop him, but Chen Youliang was arbitrary and arbitrary and refused to accept his words, which led to the disastrous defeat at Jiangdong Bridge.
After the defeat of Shishan Mountain, Chen Youliang only escaped with his own life. He did not think about the powerful enemy in front of him and prepared for war. He insisted on going his own way and was eager to proclaim himself emperor. He used Wutong Temple as his palace. Zhang Dingbian cried and refused to accept the advice, so he divided his troops and ordered him to attack Anqing.
No work.
Later, when Chen Youliang proclaimed himself emperor and changed the Yuan Dynasty, he retreated to Jiujiang, but he neglected the defense of the river. When Zhu Yuanzhang's troops approached the west gate of Jiujiang, he panicked and said that the troops had fallen from the sky. Fortunately, Zhang Dingbian's division that had been withdrawn from Anqing risked his life to fight.
Chen Youliang was able to escape from danger and walked to Wuchang at night.
Wuhan is a thoroughfare for nine provinces and has the dangers of the Yangtze River's natural chasm. After the new defeat, there is no need to rush the precession division. Zhang Dingbian repeatedly persuaded him, first of all to calm the people and stop the troops, reorganize the army to defend, and wait for an attack.
Chen Youliang did not accept the advice, but still went his own way. He ordered the construction of large ships, expanded the navy, and assembled an army of 600,000 soldiers, including hundreds of civil and military officials, in a desperate move.
Zhang Dingbian reviewed the situation and suggested that one army should march directly to Nanjing and the other should surround Hongdu, which would prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from taking care of both the head and tail.
It stands to reason that if Zhang Dingbian's plan can be successfully implemented, Chen Youliang's situation will definitely be great. But as a saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes.
Who knew that Zhu Wenzheng suddenly appeared in Hongdu City, and there were also famous generals such as Deng Yu assisting him in the city. This led to Chen Youliang's hundreds of thousands of troops, who besieged the city for eighty-five days.
And it was these eighty-five days that gave Zhu Yuanzhang a lot of time, and also caused Zhang Dingbian's plan to go bankrupt.
In desperation, the Battle of Poyang Lake began. Zhu Yuanzhang's troops had already guarded the key pass. They fought against Poyang Lake and attacked Shuigliao. Zhang Dingbian went straight in at the critical moment and killed Ming generals Han Cheng, Chen Zhaoxian, Song Gui and others.
, and came straight to Zhu Yuanzhang.
At the critical moment, he was shot by Chang Yuchun with an arrow and had to withdraw from the battle. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang took the advantage and Chen Youliang was killed by a stray arrow in his head, causing the entire army to be wiped out.
After the overall situation was decided, Zhang Dingbian was forced to surrender to Chen Li and others. Since then, there is no reliable historical record of Zhang Dingbian's deeds. Therefore, there are many theories such as being killed, changing his name and surname, returning to seclusion, and becoming a monk.
With the addition of Zhang Dingbian, Chen Youliang's status in the Yellow Turban Army will probably rise accordingly.

Implanted identity: Liu Haitian's general Hou Yuzai's brother, who is highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in the art of war. After Hou Yuzai recovered, he recommended this person to Liu Haitian;
After Liu Haitian learned the news, he went to visit Hou Yi in person, which eventually led to Hou Yi becoming Liu Haitian's subordinate, becoming a rare general under his command;

When mentioning the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, many people's first reaction is confusion.
As the saying goes: "Emperors take turns, and they will come to my house next year." This is a true portrayal of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The emperors were in danger, let alone others?
Therefore, it is commonplace for ministers to change their masters.
For example, Feng Dao, the fifth-generation roly-poly, had many opportunities to change jobs in his life because of frequent changes in political power.
In many historical records, Feng Dao changed a total of twelve masters and went through five dynasties. Among these twelve masters, there were ten emperors.
How many people can compare to the value of job hopping?
