Chapter 23 The First General - Xu Da(1/2)
Eating other people's food, drinking other people's wine, taking his people with him when he went out, and finally taking over his city when he came back, Zhang Tianyou's business was indeed worth it, at almost zero cost.
Winning Hezhou under such circumstances can be said to be full of profits.
On this side, Zhang Tianyou had a great victory with plenty to eat and drink, but on the other side, Geng Zaicheng did not have Zhang Tianyou's good luck.
He was chased all the way by Tamerlane first, and was chased for thirty miles like a dog. Not only did he abandon his troops and armor, but he also failed because of this. Looking back, I feel ashamed.
This battle was really a wasteful one.
Where did this piece of Tianyou go? Could it be that two chicken feathers were inserted into it and ascended to heaven?
Fighting with people would at least make some noise. It would take some time for three thousand people to fight against people, but from the beginning to the end, I didn't see anything strange in Heyang City?
Is it possible to really drink with someone?
Then this is too evil!
Is this a fight, or is this a fight?
You don’t take me seriously!
It was a good plan as agreed, but why did Zhang Tianyou suddenly disappear?
If you disappear, just disappear. At least leave some news to let me know your whereabouts!
There are more than 10,000 people behind me waiting for news from you?
It would be better for you to just let me fly without saying anything or farting. Wouldn't this be a slap in my face!
It’s so fucking useless!
Zhang Tianyou, I remember you, don’t let me see you again, otherwise I will beat you until you don’t even recognize your mother!
Geng Zaicheng, who kept greeting Zhang Tianyou's eighteenth generation ancestors along the way, returned to Chuyang. He won the prize and was saddled with bloody scars. He immediately went to meet the coach Guo Zixing as soon as he got off the horse.
After meeting the coach Guo Zixing in person, he carried the broken sword on his back without pulling it out, seemingly reporting his achievements to Guo Zixing.
Boss, I'm back, I'm back with injuries.
If you don't believe me, look, except for a few drops of blood on my body, I brought you all the spare parts.
Not only that, I also brought you an arrow, an iron arrow with broken hair!
Although it is just a broken arrow, it is correct and conclusive physical evidence. There is also the enemy's sign on it. You can take it back and reheat it and it can still be used.
Turning the arrows around can also deal with the Yuan army's gang of grandsons.
In addition, I have to tell you some unfortunate news. Although I don't want to tell you this news, as your younger brother and the second-in-command in this war, I still have to inform you.
This news isn't very important, it's just that...your good-for-nothing brother-in-law, that unsatisfactory thing, was trapped in a trap by the group of animals in Heyang, and he couldn't escape.
Also trapped together with him were more than three thousand of our brothers, none of whom were alive or dead.
First of all, I stand here and want to make a solemn statement to you, boss. It’s not that I don’t want to save your brother-in-law, but that there are too many men and horses in that group of animals in Heyang. This man cannot withstand the beatings of others with his small number of men and horses.
Look, the injuries on my body are the result of the injuries I suffered when I rescued your brother-in-law.
This is bloody evidence!
You can't punish me just because I didn't rescue your brother-in-law.
Otherwise, I will complain, complaining that you are unfair and unfavorable in doing things.
As the coach, Guo Zixing still loves Zhang Tianyou, his brother-in-law. After all, his beloved second wife has been very strict recently, and her financial power is suppressed by her. As the younger brother of his second wife, why not take better care of him?
I took money out of my wife’s hands and used it for consumption!
So I thought of him whenever I had any good things, and the first step in this plan was not given to my son, but to my brother-in-law.
I've already given him enough face.
But he didn't expect that what was originally a very careful plan and a very simple task would allow him to take the lead and take the lead. He could go on a business trip smoothly and travel as if it were a public trip, and then he would be promoted to a high official and make a fortune.
The business was actually messed up by me.
It's so useless.
Waste is waste.
It's really mud that can't support the wall.
Although he died, as his brother-in-law, Guo Zixing still wanted to express his feelings. While shocked and surprised, he tactfully passed the responsibility to others, saying that the reason why such a big mistake occurred this time was completely
It is a mistake in decision-making and has nothing to do with the person's ability.
Later, he heard that the Yuan soldiers were approaching the border and sent envoys to call for surrender. Faced with the embarrassing situation of losing a general first and then chasing troops, Guo Zixing seemed to have been ready to escape long ago. He had already packed his bedding and belongings.
Maybe if he realizes that the target of the attack is wrong, he will immediately abandon everything and run away overnight.
Facing the menacing Yuan army, Guo Zixing took the lead in advocating surrender.
Zhu Yuanzhang intervened to stop it and briefly analyzed it.
The current Chuyang City has lost a large number of soldiers and horses due to Zhang Tianyou's death and Geng Zaicheng's defeat. The city's defense is now weak. If you, Commander-in-Chief, will accept your surrender, they will definitely know the situation in your city. When the time comes, they will
They will definitely take advantage of our weakness to attack us.
Faced with a dilemma, Guo Zixing wisely kicked the ball to Zhu Yuanzhang and asked him to tell us our next strategy.
Anyway, those who can do more work, so you can help solve this small problem first.
Faced with this problem, Zhu Yuanzhang took the following actions:
First, an administrative order was issued to summon the envoys, and an order was issued to mobilize all the troops from the other three gates in Chuyang City to the south gate to fill the streets. Then the south gate was opened and the envoys were allowed to enter the city. After the envoys entered the city gate, they spoke in a tough tone
The request made me kneel down to meet Guo Zixing.
The countermeasures were originally perfect, but everything developed according to the predetermined route.
But at this time, one person's performance allowed us to fully see the outstanding personality that can only be shown by wastes and fools. Facing the arrival of the Yuan Army envoys, Guo Zixing, as the coach, seemed to have never seen such a big battle. He should have responded fluently
Under such circumstances, Guo Zixing made many mistakes in succession.
After a series of mistakes, Guo Zixing, who was born as a reckless man, finally lost the patience to continue pretending. He peeled off the sheep's clothing and revealed the appearance of a jackal.
In order to prevent his glorious and great positive image from being unduly slandered and damaged, he planned to kill this messenger.
At this time, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who first stood up to stop him and directly refuted it.
When the two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed.
Commander, if you kill the envoy now, it will be equivalent to telling the enemy that our city is empty now. If we really kill him, not only will it not have a good effect, but it will allow the Yuan army to attack more quickly.
We, why don't we let him go back now and threaten that if you dare to attack us, you will never come back.
Guo Zixing, who had always relied on fighting and had no strategy, obeyed Zhu Yuanzhang's advice.
Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's famous intimidation and intimidation, the Yuan army believed it and withdrew their troops wisely.
After the Yuan army retreated, although Guo Zixing and others breathed a sigh of relief, they still frowned.
Although the Yuan army withdrew its troops, the initial problem still could not be solved. Chuyang's food crisis had not been resolved at all. If it was not resolved, Chuyang City would sooner or later be defeated.
In the face of this huge problem, everyone's goal is focused on one place again.
This place is not far away.
Its name is still: Heyang.
This time Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have deprived Guo Zixing of his military power, appointed Xu Da as the general and Li Shanchang as the combat staff, and led the entire army to attack Heyang.
This is also the first time in the history books that we see Xu Da leading troops to fight, and it also allows us to see an extraordinary character-Xu Da.
