Zhu Han turned around and saw his second brother-in-law Li Zhen running towards him quickly with a look of panic and sweating profusely.

"Why are you panicking? Second brother-in-law, be careful of falling!" Zhu Han frowned slightly when he saw the second brother-in-law Li Zhen looking like this and said quickly.

"Qiwu, it's bad, Chen Youliang has invaded our territory!" Second brother-in-law Li Zhen said anxiously, with an anxious look on his face.

"What, Chen Youliang has already attacked our territory? When did it happen? Does my brother know?" Zhu Han was shocked when he heard this, and his face suddenly turned livid. Chen Youliang was a potential enemy occupying the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, but Zhu Han did not expect that.

How dare Chen Youliang turn against him so quickly.

"Chongba also just returned from Suzhou. Our route to Anqing has been cut off. I heard that the defenders have suffered heavy casualties." Second brother-in-law Li Zhen explained: "Go back with me quickly and give your brother an idea!"

Zhu Han's face suddenly became solemn, "Okay, let's go back immediately and find a way to defeat this capricious villain Chen Youliang!"

After saying that, Zhu Han immediately disembarked from the ship and quickly entered Jinling City with his second brother-in-law Li Zhen.

My elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang had just summoned the generals and counselors to discuss countermeasures. As soon as he saw Zhu Han coming back, he suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

"Qiwu, you are back." Zhu Yuanzhang immediately took his hand and said.

"Brother, I just heard that Chen Youliang attacked us secretly?" Zhu Han asked.

Brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and handed several battle reports into Zhu Han's hands.

Zhu Han took it over and took a look. They all reported that Chen Youliang had raised 200,000 troops and sent thousands of battleships down the river. Among them, Chizhou had been captured by Chen Youliang, and Chizhou defender Hua Yun died in the battle!

"Damn it!" Zhu Han suddenly became angry. He had underestimated Chen Youliang's ambition and courage before, and he unexpectedly captured Chizhou in a sneak attack!

Zhu Yuanzhang also had an ugly face, but he managed to keep his composure and said calmly: "Although Chen Youliang's troops have a great advantage now, after all, he has just seized power and is not internally stable. There will definitely be flaws. We

Don't worry!"

Zhu Han calmed down after hearing this, nodded, and then asked: "Brother, now Chizhou City has been attacked by Chen Youliang, what about other places?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Other places are where our army's rear is. Chen Youliang did not dare to send troops rashly, so a hundred thousand troops were stationed in Chizhou Mansion. However, Chizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our army has no way to break it and take it back!"

"Damn it!" Zhu Han gritted his teeth. Chen Youliang took advantage of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River this time.

At this time, Zhu Han suddenly thought that since Chen Youliang was internally unstable, he definitely wanted a quick victory. If he could lure the enemy deeper, wouldn't he be able to make Chen Youliang ambush him?

"Brother, we can use a move to lure the enemy deeper!"

Zhu Han said suddenly.

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly asked: "What method, how to lure the enemy deeper?"

Zhu Han said with a smile: "Chen Youliang's sneak attack on us shows that he is not well prepared and must want a quick victory. If we can send people to seduce him, it means that Jinling's defense is empty and we only need a large army to attack."

If you can seize Jinling City, I predict that Chen Youliang will be fooled!"

Zhu Han's analysis can be said to be reasonable and well-founded.

Not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but also Xu Da, Zhou Dexing, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and Shi Naian also nodded in agreement.

Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands excitedly and said quickly: "What a great idea!"

Brother Zhu Yuanzhang frowned again, "But, how do we trick Chen Youliang into taking the bait?"

Zhu Han smiled and said: "Brother, do you still remember where Kang Maocai is from?"

"Kang Maocai?" When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Kang Maocai was originally a general of the Yuan army. He later surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang and made many military exploits. He was highly appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang. He was a general who came out of town. His hometown was Hubei and he and Chen Youliang were from the same hometown. They had always had a good relationship.

Chen Youliang had a conversation with Zhu Yuanzhang before, and the middleman was Kang Maocai.

"Haha, this is a good idea!" Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to find Kang Maocai.

Poor Kang Maocai was worried all the way. He also heard about Chen Youliang's successful sneak attack on Chizhou, which was really a trap for him.

I heard that Chen Youliang used merchant ships to load soldiers, sneaked into Chizhou, and then robbed the city gate before succeeding. Kang Maocai, as the middleman in the trade, was naturally scared to death.

"The sinner Kang Maocai, please see the King of Wu!"

As soon as he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, Kang Maocai knelt on the ground to plead guilty without saying a word.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of blaming him at all.

He quickly stepped forward and helped Kang Maocai up.

Kang Maocai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry.

"General Kang, we need you to do a favor now." Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Deputy Commander, please give me your instructions!" Kang Maocai said respectfully.

"We need you to seduce Chen Youliang!" Zhu Han said directly.

Hearing this, Kang Maocai almost collapsed to the ground without being frightened, and quickly refused: "Deputy Commander, I can't do this. I have no personal friendship with Chen Youliang!"

Ganqing Kangmao thought Zhu Han was testing him.

"Haha, General Kang, don't panic! I'm not testing you. This time we plan to give Chen Youliang a plan to lure the enemy deeper. You are the most critical link. You must come forward. Otherwise, once Chen Youliang notices something is wrong,

Then he will definitely retreat!" Zhu Han said.

Afterwards, Zhu Han revealed all the detailed plans to lure the enemy without concealing anything.

Kang Maocai was deeply moved by this unquestioning attitude in employing people.

"this......"

However, Kang Maocai was still hesitant.

"But, deputy commander, Chen Youliang is as cunning as a fox. Are you asking the general to deceive him because you are afraid that he will not take the bait?" Kang Maocai said.

"Haha, don't worry about this, just do it." Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Okay!" Kang Maocai saw that Zhu Han had said this, so he had no choice but to agree.

When Zhu Han saw this, he smiled.

"Then we will follow the deputy commander's arrangements and write a letter immediately. We will do our best to cooperate with the deputy commander!"

"Well, well, thank you for your hard work, General Kang." Zhu Han said with a smile.

Immediately, Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang were responsible for assisting, making Kang Maocai's letter look perfect!

In the letter, Kang Maocai responded by referring to Jinling's Dongjiang garrison as an internal response, saying that Jinling's garrison was empty, and asked Chen Youliang to lead his army deep into the city, and then he could rush into Jinling city.

The information in the letter is half true and half false, and after several changes, it will definitely make Chen Youliang not suspicious, unless Chen Youliang can resist the temptation of a quick decision.

Although this plan is to lure the enemy deeper, it cannot be completely regarded as an adventure. The main reason is that the defense of Jinling City is strong. When his army reaches the gate of Jinling City, no matter how many troops he has, Jinling City can still be defended.

.

Kang Maocai finished writing the letter and handed it to the guard beside him, and then delivered the letter to Chen Youliang.

After Kang Mao finished everything, he breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Zhu Han and cupped his hands, "Deputy Commander, then General Chen Youliang will fall into the trap!"

"Okay, if General Kang cooperates with our plan, it will definitely succeed. We can destroy Chen Youliang's army in one fell swoop and make him pay the price." Zhu Han said.

Although this plan was a little underhanded, Zhu Han had no choice but to defeat Chen Youliang.

Kang Maocai nodded, "Don't worry, Deputy Commander! The general will be on standby with his army at any time, and Chen Youliang will be sure to make sure he never comes back."

"Okay, General Kang, you must be careful when dealing with Chen Youliang. Don't be discovered by Chen Youliang."

"Don't worry, Deputy Marshal, I, Kang Maocai, did not live in vain, and I will not let Chen Youliang discover him! As long as he dares to come to Jinling after being deceived, I, Lao Kang, will never show mercy." Kang Maocai said with a smile.

"Haha, General Kang is really a hero!" Zhu Yuanzhang praised Kang Maocai.

Kang Maocai was immediately flattered.

"General Kang, I'll help you then!" Zhu Han said.

Kang Maocai nodded, turned around and walked out.

Old brothers Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han were waiting hard for news about Chen Youliang.

finally!

Three days later, Kang Mao came forward excitedly and said that Chen Youliang had taken the bait and had sent someone to contact him secretly. He really wanted to attack Jinling!

Brother Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately overjoyed, laughing and patting Zhu Han on the shoulder, "Haha, Qiwu, you are really the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang!"

"Ouch, brother, you are trying too hard!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

Chen Youliang was also very cunning. He specially sent someone to secretly meet with Kang Maocai. Based on the key points in Kang Maocai's letters, he checked them one by one inside and outside Jinling City, lest he meant to deceive him.

Sure enough, everything was just as Kang Maocai said.

Jinling City is really short of soldiers and horses, because the streets are full of notices recruiting strong men to join the army, and there are also groups of wealthy merchants fleeing outside the city, all showing the emptiness of Jinling City.

After receiving the envoy's affirmation, Chen Youliang finally felt relieved and summoned his generals overnight to board a warship and head for Jinling!

In Chen Youliang's opinion, his sneak attack will be absolutely flawless. As long as he can capture Jinling, the overall situation is basically decided. Brothers Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han are so capable that they can't do anything to him.

"Jinling, send troops!"

Chen Youliang stood on the bow of the battleship, listening to the roar of the river in his ears, and couldn't help but clenched his fists.

A shout was given.

At this moment, Chen Youliang couldn't wait to capture Jinling immediately and plunder all the belongings of Zhu Yuanzhang and the wealthy households in Jinling.
