First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 350

After Zhu Yuanzhang observed the enemy's situation, he immediately returned to the central army tent. He did not call more people, but only asked Zhang Ximeng, Xu Da, and Zou Pusheng to come forward, facing the map, and the four of them sat around to discuss the military situation.

Xu Da was the first to say: "The superior, the iron chain linking the boat, this is a trick of the Yuan army, and Chen Youliang attacked it. At that time, when the Chaohu navy broke into the Yangtze River, he attacked with fire boats. The army will not kill at the head."

As a warrior, Xu Da doesn't need to give Zou Pusheng face, what's more, he's telling the truth, water wars and arson are also common things, don't think that you, old Zoutou, have made a lot of credit.

But Zhang Ximeng hurriedly said: "Xu Da, the situation was different at that time. The Yuan army was chained with large ships and blocked in the narrow mouth of the mouth. We only need to go down the river and set fire to the boat. Now Chen Youliang is at the mouth of the lake. Chen Bing, the river is wide, the boats are in the middle, and there are continuous ships escorting outside. They have a large number of soldiers and horses, and they have rich experience in water warfare. It is impossible to get close to Chen Jun. If we can set fire, Chen Youliang will also use the wind to set fire. , in the end who can seize the opportunity and win the battle, we can't make hasty judgments, we must plan carefully."

After Zhang Ximeng finished, he turned to Zou Pusheng and said, "Senior, it's the same as setting fire, and it's different. If you want to defeat Chen Youliang and win a big victory this time, I'm afraid it must be on the old man."

Zou Pusheng pondered these few words, and he understood it. The idea of ​​arson had been known for a long time, and it was the old wisdom used by Zhang Ximeng.

The old man thought about it again and again, and then said: "As Zhang Xiang said, it is not easy to set a fire with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. The fire must be swept across the river by the wind. Within ten days, there will be a north wind, and then the wind will set fire to it, and a great victory will be won!"

North wind!

Isn't it east wind?

Did you steal Prime Minister Cao's script by yourself?

I hope the ending will not be the same as Prime Minister Cao!

Zhang Ximeng thought for a moment, although the battle of Chibi in history was very famous, but the details were not so rich. When Lao Luo wrote The Three Kingdoms, he borrowed a lot of the experience of the Battle of Poyang Lake. Varied, ups and downs.

That is to say, the Battle of Chibi applied the experience of the Battle of Poyang Lake, so if the battle of Poyang Lake is going to be fought now, can it be arranged according to the Battle of Chibi?

You use our tactics, and we learn from yours... Who is copying who?

Zhang Ximeng couldn't understand for a while, anyway, when he turned around, he wanted to bring Lao Luo to the front, squeeze this guy, let him use his brain more, and write the battle better.

In particular, you must pay close attention to the code words, you must not be lazy, and you must be as diligent and reliable as a certain ash...

"Senior, even with the help of the wind, it's not so easy to break through Chen Jun's guard, isn't it?"

Zou Pusheng nodded, "That's right... So we have to relax Chen Youliang's guard. The old man thought, can you send someone to deceive?"

Fraud!

Are you going to make a yellow card?

It really follows Lao Luo's Chibi!

"Senior, Chen Youliang is suspicious and cunning by nature, I'm afraid he won't be fooled?"

Zou Pusheng nodded slightly, "Zhang Xiang is very concerned, but the old man also has something to say... Chen Youliang is narrow-minded, and he will retaliate. Ding Pulang and Fu Youde surrendered, which made him brooding. Now, now that the old man has come, it will make him even more. I am angry. If someone is willing to take refuge in the past at this time, Chen Youliang must be willing to believe in his heart, and it seems that it will be easy to succeed."

Zhang Ximeng's eyes lit up, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously, and Lao Zhu's expression was also solemn.

With Chen Youliang's temperament, he absolutely did not want to believe that the Zhu Family Army was monolithic. In this case, he would use a trick to deceive him. Anyway, there are already suitable candidates here, and they have written a secret letter to Chen Jun, which is perfect.

Beifeng, swindling surrender, two consecutive tricks.

There is one most important thing left, and it can even be the key to the ultimate success or failure of arson.

"My lord, we still need to figure out the combat strength of Chen Jun, find out the situation of their building ships, how to deal with an attack, how to rescue a ship when it catches fire... How is the morale of the army, will the soldiers Fighting the fire at the risk of death... Also, it is best to capture a few buildings and ships to see how fireproofing is. Knowing ourselves and the enemy, and understanding these, we can design the way to set fires, whether to use gunpowder, kerosene, or firewood, and how much we need to prepare. ships, in several waves..."

Zhang Ximeng asked more than a dozen questions, and Zou Pusheng on the side was slightly surprised. Even an old fox like him didn't think about things so carefully.

But Xu Da heard it in his ears, but he suddenly understood why Zhang Ximeng seemed to be not so proficient in military affairs, but any famous general who met him might not be able to get a bargain. The secret is here.

Zhang Ximeng has an almost morbid obsession with some things... For example, how big and heavy the shovel for digging trenches needs to be, how much soil to dig each time, and how long it takes to rest continuously.

This is also Zhang Ximeng's daily life in the army before and after crossing the river. He personally formulated many regulations and details, which laid a solid foundation for Zhu's army.

Like Xu Da, although he can be called a natural and handsome talent, he can't reach the level of Zhang Ximeng, so he can only sketch.

And it is the grasp of details that makes Zhang Ximeng invincible. Even the strongest general can only do nothing in the face of an impeccable opponent.

Xu Damen asked himself, I'm afraid he can't beat Zhang Ximeng, but fortunately Zhang Xiang is on his side, otherwise he really doesn't know who belongs to the world?

After some brainstorming discussions, Zou Pusheng went to rest, and the remaining specific issues were discussed by Zhu Jiajun himself.

"Tomorrow, the fleet will be divided into 20 squads, led by the generals, carrying water warfare equipment, testing the details of the Chen army, and taking the opportunity to capture the building ship."

Xu Da made his plan, and both Lao Zhu and Zhang Ximeng agreed.

"How to fight, we'll leave it to you, pick up this burden for us." Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his palm and patted Xu Da's shoulder hard.

Xu Da nodded vigorously, and he also went down.

Now only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng are left, Lao Zhu suddenly smiled and said, "Sir, who should you let to deceive?"

Zhang Ximeng was about to speak when Lao Zhu said, "Let's say goodbye, let's write it on the palm and see if we are thinking of the same person?"

Zhang Ximeng was startled, do you want to do this?

He could only pick up the pen and write a word in the palm of his hand, and when he and Lao Zhu met, no accident, it was the same word for Kang!

"Having seen the King of Han, this minister is guilty."

Zhang Bixian bowed and saluted, his face full of annoyance, he didn't catch Zou Pusheng and let this old man run away, **** it!

Chen Youliang didn't blame him much. In fact, outsiders often Chen Youliang was mean, cruel, and cunning, but he was still very kind and tolerant to a few confidants and generals.

Zhang Dingbian quarreled with him, but Chen Youliang didn't blame him. Zhang Bixian did something wrong, and Chen Youliang wouldn't hold him too much... After all, as the owner of a party, he still understood the truth. If even Zhang Bixian and Zhang Dingbian can't stand it, wouldn't they really be alone?

"The old man is cunning and cunning. It's reasonable that you can't catch him. But don't worry, he can't escape this time. I will definitely let him die in the river with Zhu Yuanzhang!"

Zhang Bixian was startled, and hurriedly said angrily: "The old man has taken refuge with the little monk?"

Chen Youliang snorted, "Yes, he didn't find a hole to hide, but he dared to jump out and send it to my mouth. He really wanted to die! No one can blame others."

Zhang Bixian rolled his eyes and said again: "The old man should have died a long time ago, but how did the King of Han know?"

Chen Youliang pondered for a while, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Bixian.

"Look at it!"

Zhang Bi opened it first, and it was Kang Maocai who wrote the letter.

He told Chen Youliang the situation in Zhu Yuanzhang's army, including the surrender of Zou Pusheng.

Zhang Bi was overjoyed after seeing it first, "King Han, such a little monk Zhu Chongba, is the King of Han clearly aware of his every move?"

"Well, including his arrangement this time, how many soldiers and horses there are, and how much food and forage, I know all of them. You, know yourself and the enemy, can we still lose?"

Zhang Bixian let out a long sigh and was also elated, but soon Zhang Bixian hesitated again, "King Han, this Kang Maocai, will he deceive us? Can the news sent here be true?"

Chen Youliang smiled slightly, "Zhu Yuanzhang treats his subordinates very meanly. As far as I know, Kang Maocai served as a field envoy, equivalent to a command envoy. This time he is the quartermaster responsible for transporting grain and grass, and his annual salary is only two hundred stone. food!"

When Zhang Bi heard it first, he couldn't help shaking his head, so much?

Raising an eagle and raising a dog can't be the same, right?

Chen Youliang came to the throne of Han King, but he rewarded him with 10,000 taels of gold and 3,000 pieces of silk and satin. Why is our old Zhang willing to give his life to him, isn't it just enough!

Zhu Yuanzhang is so stingy, how can he get the loyalty of his subordinates!

"King Han, I think this little monk has a humble background and is used to begging. He is really stingy. He can't make a big deal!" Zhang Bixian pouted and said contemptuously. Naturally, he didn't know that a rich family with a dog might eat 10,000 times better than the poor. But a dog is a dog after all, there are those who are favored, and there are those who cannot eat.

But here in Zhu Jiajun, just try to make every ordinary person can live well, not need to be slaves, eagles, dogs, livestock, that's all.

Chen Youliang smiled slightly, nothing much, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was not so simple, but Zhang Bi first thought so, and there was no need to explain it to him.

"Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates have one more thing. He reuses old people from Huaixi. Kang Maocai is different from those people. It's just a matter of fact that it's reasonable to want to find a good position as a field envoy.”

Chen Youliang gritted his teeth again and said, "Ding Pulang and Fu Youde, these two things are nothing. Zhu Yuanzhang dared to fight with me when these two beasts surrendered. He is seeking his own death! Kang Maocai is now in charge of food and rations, he is willing to surrender, he will By the way, send these important things over, and when Zhu Yuanzhang's army is in chaos, we can fight the world!"

"No matter how much advantage Zhu Yuanzhang took in front of him, as long as we win, he will be finished! At that time, Fu Youde, Ding Pulang, and Zou Pusheng will all be captured, cut with a thousand cuts, and thrown into the Feed the fish in the Yangtze River!"

Chen Youliang slapped the table fiercely, and his anger poured into his face. Although Chen Youliang didn't care about it, his heart was already full of anger. Whoever dared to betray him would not end well!

At this time, Kang Maocai was being escorted by several soldiers and pushed to the Yuanmen Gate, and the military judge slammed and angrily said, "The field envoy Kang Maocai is not good at transporting grain and grass, causing the eight hundred stone grains to become moldy. !"

The soldier raised the water and fire stick made of hardwood, tore Kang Maocai's clothes, pressed him on the bench, lifted him high, and fell heavily!

Kang Maocai only felt that his eyes were dark and he almost fainted.

This board... hits, hits really well!

The fame and fame in this life depends on this time, fight, fight hard! I can hold it!
