Having made up his mind in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to give it a try.

Under the predicament that all the officials had withdrawn and I came on stage, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the absolute leader of the Zhu family army, issued the final military order: confront Chen Youliang head-on.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who as the commander-in-chief had no ideas, began to solicit everyone's opinions and make basic military plans on how to resist this powerful bandit.

At this time, the ministers, who had originally intended to retreat, packed up their bed and prepared to run naked, saw that their planned singing script was ruined, so they could only secretly make plans.

Anyway, it is impossible to escape today, and it is impossible to surrender.

Since the two political retreats we originally provided were rejected by your boss, and you are now our nominal boss, then we will reluctantly listen to you first.

Who told your boss to have a gun in his hand?

The one with the gun these days is the uncle.

We have no soldiers or pawns in our hands, so we can only give in.

Isn’t there a saying like that?

He who knows the current affairs is a hero.

My man has a big head, but his neck is not thick, so he cannot withstand your arbitrary exploitation.

Under the influence of this kind of thinking, civil and military ministers began to make suggestions and suggestions. At such times, the ministers often held their own opinions and recommended different attack plans.

Anyway, there are only a few offensive methods, and the specific methods are explained in the art of war.

For ministers who have never seen pork but have definitely seen pigs running around, just pointing out a few offensive strategies is like a blind man pointing out troops.

As for whether you ultimately adopt my plan or not, that is your business. Anyway, I have proposed the plan you want. Whether it is right or wrong is not my final say.

The final decision is made by you, the boss. Whether it succeeds or fails is your own choice, and it has nothing to do with me.

If we win, hello, hello, hello, hello, everyone, let’s raise a toast together and wish everyone a promotion and fortune.

If unfortunately you are defeated, then don't try to put the responsibility on me. I am just giving you advice. If you are defeated, then you should think that I am farting. Who told you to be illiterate?

I'm blind, I don't want anyone to choose, but I choose my plan.

You deserve to be unlucky.

In this draft-like debate, there are roughly two subjective opinions.

One opinion is: We set up an ambush outside the city, and took advantage of the opportunity when Chen Youliang, a rebellious wild wolf, had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place where he was born, and used all our elite forces to attack Chen Youliang and catch him off guard.

Another suggestion is to gather all the troops to retake Taiping City, and before Chen Youliang has launched the attack on the same day, we will be the first to launch a counterattack.

In the face of these two completely different suggestions, no one can say that the other's suggestions are wrong. As scholars and military commanders with different identities, they can also give their own reasonable explanations for the proposed views.

Two feasible plans have been formulated, and they will be submitted to Zhu Yuanzhang.

In this battle that only allowed victory but not defeat, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that if he took the initiative with his existing troops and faced Chen Youliang head-on with his existing troops, he would be completely defeated.

Moreover, the strength of his naval force is far less than that of Chen Youliang by more than ten times. The most important thing is that although he has many soldiers and horses, most of them are ruthless bandits, they are just land ducks with their feet wrapped in cloth and domineering on the water.

It can almost be called suicide to let this group of soldiers who rarely participate in water battles duel with Chen Youliang, a prodigal who was born in the Salt Gang and has been hanging out at sea all year round.

The possible final result of this plan is that Chen Youliang will make dumplings for him before he can take action.

This was almost a plan that struck an egg against a stone, and was directly rejected by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Since taking the initiative has been rejected, there is only one last option left.

An ambush was set up outside the city.

Taking into account the root cause of the defeat of Taiping City, and thinking about the fact that Chen Youliang was condescending to the Taiping City Wall that he could easily enter, he compared the short city wall in Yingtian, which is shorter, not taller, and not thicker than Taiping City. Facing Chen Youliang's

The unruly wild wolf came with menacing murderous intent, and as the commander-in-chief, Zhu Yuanzhang wisely chose to retreat.

After much deliberation, Zhu Yuanzhang finally decided on the location for the ambush.

After confirming the specific location, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a Buddhist character of never looking back, asked his men to call someone, a trump card that had been lying in wait for a long time but had not been revealed.

After this person arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been planning for a long time, conveyed his conspiracy to this person.

And asked him to write a letter to notify Chen Youliang.

This person's name is: Kang Maocai.

Kang Maocai was an old acquaintance of Chen Youliang and a former comrade-in-arms. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the rebel army captured Qixian County. Kang Maocai gathered troops and horses to defend the township and was named the capital marshal. Later, after Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jiqing, he led his troops

Surrendered, Marshal of the Shui Shui Army, now guarding Longwan, is the field envoy of Dushui Camp, and is in charge of Zhu Yuanzhang's logistical grain planting and grain supply. More importantly, Kang Maocai's relatives served under Chen Youliang and were deeply trusted by Chen Youliang.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to use Kang Maocai's hand to deal with Chen Youliang, who almost scared him to the point of peeing in his crotch.

The specific strategy formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang was as follows: He first asked Kang Maocai to write a letter to Chen Youliang. The general meaning was that I, Old Kang, heard that Mr. Chen brought all the kings of the country to deal with this bald donkey Zhu Yuanzhang. I am under this wild donkey.

After working for so many years, I have become tired of working, and now I am getting more and more useless.

Sir, when I was not with Zhu Yuanzhang, I was a general who commanded the army. Later, I defected to Zhu Yuanzhang. I thought I could find a better job, but I didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang, a stubborn donkey, not only took away my military power, but also refused to say anything.

Let me farm and do this job of cultivating Huangshan Mountain with a hoe in my hand, tears and sweat, a job that only servants can do. Now I only lead a group of guys who have nothing to do but have a full meal all day long, with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky.

Apart from reclaiming the wasteland, they don't have any sense of being a general. I don't know when this completely nonsense job will end!

Rather than wasting my youth and wasting a lot of resources like this, I might as well take advantage of Boss Chen's crusade to act as your internal support. We should work together internally and externally to kill this stubborn man who doesn't know how to employ people and can only mess around.

donkey.

If Boss Chen agrees with my idea and can tolerate me, a surrendered general who was once your enemy and worked under your enemy for several years, and is now ready to abandon the dark side and return to the right side, then I am willing to be your internal agent, and

In Longwan, where I am guarding, I will open the gate and release the water for you, just to give Zhu Yuanzhang, a bald donkey, a brief moment.

If you accept my opinion, we will agree to use "Lao Kang" as the action signal. When Mr. Chen arrives in Longjiang, you will find a Jiangdong Bridge. When you see the Jiangdong Bridge, you only need to call out "Lao Kang" three times and I will order you.

People will directly sink the Jiangdong Bridge made of wood, and let your boss and your army in. Then you can go straight down the river and reach the outside of Jinling City. By then, even if Zhu Yuanzhang reacts, it will be too late, so it will be

Let you unknowingly kill Zhu Yuanzhang, this stubborn donkey that gets in your way.

When Chen Youliang received this letter that was full of tears on the surface but was actually full of loopholes, I think Chen Youliang must have hesitated. After all, this letter from within the enemy was different from usual. Such a nearly top-secret letter could be obtained from within the enemy.

There are fundamentally many problems with the transmission to him.

As Chen Youliang's adviser, he should be more or less suspicious, but I think Chen Youliang, a regicide and master-killing gangster, would not listen to the adviser's blunt advice.

Considering the character of a thug who kills his master, jumps through ranks, and finally becomes emperor and prime minister, his mentality should be extremely conceited. This kind of person often does not allow others to refute his ideas, let alone others to question his decisions.

Because they knew very well what Chen Youliang was like, how could a man who dared to kill his own master retain basic compassion for a minister? This was basically impossible.

Therefore, over time, few people will advise him, but many people will agree with him.

Under such circumstances, it was destined to be a tragedy for Chen Youliang to receive this letter.

Even though Chen Youliang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was hesitant at this time, in the face of huge interests, in the face of being able to destroy Zhu Yuanzhang in one fell swoop, a stubborn donkey who had brought shame and humiliation to himself, and in the face of his own fleet and generals who far exceeded Zhu Yuanzhang's number

In the face of a more powerful army with absolute confidence, in the face of an overconfident and fully rested army, any hesitation will be wiped out.

It was under this situation that Chen Youliang led his Han Dynasty army to invade Longwan with great force.

In order to achieve absolute victory in this battle, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered all the wooden bridges Jiangdong Bridge at the entrance of Yingtian, which was the only waterway for the Han army, to be sunk and rebuilt.

The stone bridge was changed to a stone bridge, and the words "Jiangdong Bridge" were enlarged and written again.

This has only one purpose, and that is to prevent Chen Youliang's army from breaking the bridge and confronting his base area.

If Chen Youliang really arrives here, the ship cannot cross the bridge, so there are only two ways left, one is to return the same way, and the other is to land ashore, and this is Longwan.

After doing these things, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Shaorong, who was located just north of Yingtian, to abandon his garrison position and let Xu Da ambush outside the south gate. He ordered Chang Yuchun and Feng Sheng to ambush in Longwan, while Zhu Yuanzhang led some people to station in the northwest.

Lion Rock, commanding the entire army to fight.

This method of arranging troops is like setting up a big pocket. Jiangdong Bridge is one end of the pocket, and on both sides of the pocket are tall and straight mountains, and on the other side is Longwan, which is like a vegetable field.

In the open area, the army led by Xu Da served as the rear. As long as Chen Youliang's army rushed in and Xu Da tightened the mouth of the bag, Chen Youliang would become a bastard in the urn, unable to escape.

In order to have a clear signal to attack and not turn his hundreds of thousands of troops into a group of sheep wandering around without command, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget to prepare two flags of different colors, one red and one yellow, and ordered that when I raised them

The red flag means that the enemy forces led by Chen Youliang have entered the ambush circle. When I raise the yellow flag, you will risk your lives and beat these bastards for me.

This is almost a perfect strategy.

After all the tasks were arranged, Zhu Yuanzhang gathered the generals and announced his battle plan. He should have given a very powerful political speech, especially in the face of Chang Yuchun, who had nothing to do.

When he wanted to offend the cargo owner, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the commander-in-chief, would definitely give him a political warning and say some harsh words: If you cause trouble for me again, I will skin you and stew you alive.

At the same time, it was also at this last moment that I gazed at the group of beloved generals under my command. Although they were brothers in the same trench, they rarely met each other on weekdays. Today, we parted and we didn’t know whether they would live or die.

Looking at the group of tough-minded men now, they are all just like me. They were once peasants who used hoes and shed tears. They were also a group of happy children with wives and wives in their houses. If they were not forced to make a living,

Who would be willing to live a life of such hard work as leaving their children behind and going to the battlefield with a gun and a knife on their head, without being slaughtered?

But that's the way the world is.

Either you die or I die, there are always some people who need to sacrifice on the way to domination.

And you are just a pebble standing on tiptoe to lift up this one-way bridge.
