Three days later, Chen Youliang was buried. Chen Li accepted the bowing of various generals and a group of court officials, inherited the title of King of Han, and issued obituaries and documents to go to the emperor's name to go everywhere. Everything was completed in tension and anxiety.

At the same time, Fu Youde, a general under Zhu Yuanzhang, came to Jiangzhou City with his vanguard troops.

Chen Li understood that Zhu Yuanzhang would either not do it or do it in a vain. He would definitely try every means to kill Chen Youliang's son to prevent future troubles. In this way, the great man would become a mess and then it would be easy to defeat them one by one.

At this critical moment of life and death, most people almost lost confidence in the Han regime. It was difficult to make them still loyal to the Han Dynasty. This is the so-called "moneys fall down and scatter", and even gods are difficult to deal with.

If you want to regroup and restore everyone's confidence, the only way is to fight a beautiful battle and demonstrate the strong strength of the Han army. Although this will not solve the fundamental problem, it can at least unite people's hearts and inspire fighting spirit.

As the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places. As long as everyone can see hope, even though they know that the future is difficult, they will also move closer to that place with hope.

Chen Li decided to convene all the generals to ask for their opinions and see what these people think.

All the people were here, but all the generals leading the troops were like cucumber seedlings that were sunburned, one by one, with their heads hanging down, sitting there frowning, and no one spoke.

Chen Li stood up, walked around in front of these generals, looked at them one by one, and said, "What do you think of the current situation of war? I will say it. No matter what I say, I will never blame you, and I will never keep a black account in my heart."

Then everyone focused their attention on Chen Li and thought about what he meant. He said this, but who is not afraid that improper words will attract people to hate.

Chen Li said to Li Kecheng: "General Li, let me tell you what you think first."

Li Kecheng stood up and said, "The last general will only follow orders, and his plan for the battle is not good."

Chen Li said to Chen Zhongquan: "Where are you, General Chen?"

Chen Zhongquan was stuttering and didn't say a word for a long time.

Chen Li turned his eyes to Zhao Long and said, "General Zhao won't have nothing to say, right?"

Zhao Long seemed to be more outspoken and said, "Since the King of Han does not blame him, I will just say a few words."

Chen Li smiled and said, "Tell me, I will never blame you."

Zhao Long said: "According to the news from the fast horse, Zhu Yuanzhang's vanguard troops will arrive at the city of Jiangzhou in the latest three days. With the subsequent troops, the total strength is at least 200,000. The Jiangzhou city wall is not solid, and we have few major generals, so it is impossible to resist."

"For the sake of the present, we can only preserve our strength, gather all our troops, fight and retreat, and retreat wherever we can retreat, and the loss of frontal confrontation will only be greater."

Chen Li nodded and said, "General Zhao is right, so where do you think we should retreat?"

"This..." Zhao Long couldn't say it.

Chen Li looked at Luo Gang, who was so proud, and said, "What do you think of General Luo?"

Luo Gang said: "Although the thief army is very powerful, we are still afraid that they will not succeed. The Han King is killed by the enemy. Even if we cannot avenge him, we will have to let the three thousand enemy troops be buried with the Han King. The last general is willing to lead three thousand iron cavalry to fight the thief army Fu Youde."

Chen Li nodded.

No matter whether Luo Gang is really loyal or not, his political qualities are still very strong. It is good to know what political correctness is.

Chen Li looked at Zhang Dingbian and said, "Uncle Second, do you have any good ideas?"

Zhang Dingbian stroked his beard, frowned, and said, "All the generals are right, but this is not the best strategy."

Chen Li's eyes lit up and he said, "What is the best strategy?"

Zhang Dingbian said: "The new capital Nanchang is strong in the city. The city walls on all sides are made of green stones. The city is dozens of feet high and water is adjacent to both sides. The food and grass in the city are enough for 100,000 soldiers and horses in a year. Prime Minister Zhang is extremely brave and has great loyalty and righteousness. He has sufficient defensive equipment."

"I think that the King of Han can retreat to Nanchang, and even if Zhu Yuanzhang's 200,000 troops attacked, we would not be afraid of him. During this period, we can contact other rebels to harass the enemy. I believe that it will not take long before Zhu Yuanzhang can't stand it, and the King of Han will make a long-term plan."

Chen Li nodded when he heard this. He thought to himself that this Nanchang City was the place where Zhu Chongba attacked and destroyed the Han Dynasty. Would he go to die?

No, since I have come, the next thing will definitely not develop along the old path, and Zhang Dingbian's idea is not impossible to consider.

Chen Li said: "General Zhang's words make sense, but this is what I thought. I wonder if we should fight Zhu Yuanzhang first and win a big victory. Of course, it is dangerous to do so, but it can enhance the confidence of the soldiers and encourage the decadent fighting spirit that is declining due to failure."

"Of course, the consequences of failure are also very serious, and it is very likely that some soldiers with two minds will reverse. So, this move has both advantages and disadvantages. Do you think it is a big advantage or a big disadvantage?"

Luo Gang stood up from his seat with his eyes shining, "I agree with the strategy of the King of Han. Anyway, there are wars everywhere, why not fight back on the spot?"

Chen Li saw that, yes, this guy is like a stinger like himself. He likes attacking but not defending. He is a good seedling, but he is too tough and not suitable for being the head coach.

Zhang Dingbian glared at Luo Gang and said, "Who can't charge in the battle? Have you ever thought about the consequences of failure?"

Luo Gang saw that his adoptive father was unhappy and immediately sat down in shame, without knowing the sound again.

He Yanlong did not dare to look directly at Chen Li until then, but the man had no scheming and couldn't help but stand up and said, "General Zhang is right. Even if he wins, he can't solve the fundamental problem. If he loses, he will be even more embarrassed. We are just a few soldiers and can't afford to lose."

Chen Quanzhong hurriedly said, "General Zhang has always planned for a long time, and his ideas are the safest."

Li Kecheng also said: "The morale of the army is already very low. Most of the people in the city have never fought a big battle. When encountering such a large formation, I am afraid that they will escape."

When Chen Li saw that they all made sense, he thought about it in his mind and said, "All the generals are all right and have a thorough analysis, but..."

He paused, glanced at everyone around, and said, "Now everyone is not optimistic about me, and they still think that I am still the useless person before. If I give in repeatedly, everyone will have less and less confidence in me. If I can lead all the soldiers to defeat the invasion of the thief army, then everyone will be optimistic about me."

"Even if we retreat now, who can guarantee that Zhu Yuanzhang has no backup plan to deal with this king? Maybe he has already decided that I will withdraw from Nanchang, and even have already set up my pockets on the way to Nanchang, waiting for us to go and fall into the trap."

Everyone nodded after hearing what Chen Li said, and even Zhang Dingtian fell into deep thought.

Chen Li said again: "I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang had a counselor named Liu Bowen. He is a man who is knowledgeable about astronomy and geography, and is knowledgeable about astrology and fortune-telling. He is knowledgeable about the past and the present. No one can match his knowledge and vision. Think about it, how would he plot against me?"

Everyone's eyes were wide open.
