First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 36: Only Yuan Ting is injured in the world

   Tanghe talked to Zhu Yuanzhang about his ideas.

  Lao Zhu is very busy. His business is mainly in three aspects. The first is training soldiers and selecting generals; the second is handling the main affairs of Linhuai Town and laying a foundation; and the third is learning.

   That's right, it's the book list that Zhang Ximeng gave him.

   Originally, Zhu couldn't get it, but since he broke the Jialu army, he got some books from the barracks, and later copied the Lu family, which greatly enriched the collection.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the books all day long. As long as he had time, he would read for a while. After dinner, he would consult Zhang Ximeng to solve problems, and then he would continue to read until midnight, and then get up for training before dawn... Sleep only two hours a day, at most no More than three hours.

   What makes people desperate is that I slept so little, and I was still full of energy every day without fatigue.

   Probably those who can accomplish great things, first of all are the masters of time management!

   Anyway, Zhang Ximeng won't make it. No matter how busy he is, he must sleep four hours at night and never stay up late. Moreover, I have to take a nap at noon, and I feel dizzy if I don't get enough sleep, and I can't get enough energy for a day.

   However, he was destined to go to bed late tonight, because Zhu Yuanzhang came in person and called Zhang Ximeng over to discuss matters.

   "Mr. suggested that blackmail should not be spent. We agree with this matter, but we still want to discuss with the big guys how to go next. This is a major event related to our future. Please give me some advice."

   Zhang Ximeng was so angry, he nodded hard, "I see, please rest assured."

  Waiting for Zhang Ximeng to arrive, he discovered that there was still a guest, and it was the Marshal Peng Peng who had stayed early.

   After saying hello, Peng Zaozhu directly said: "Zhu Gongzi, my father and Zhao Dashuai have discussed, and they are going to march east to attack Sizhou."

Peng Zaozhu was full of spirits and confidence, "Let’s break through the Yuan Tartar, with great prestige, just to take advantage of the victory and pursue, to attack Sizhou, Xuyi and other places east, where there is plenty of money and food, and there are many people. We gather soldiers and horses, and then attack Huai’an. The entire land of the Lianghuai is ours! Sitting on the Lianghuai, going north to capture Shandong, and south to Jiangnan, there is much to be done!"

Peng Zaozhu drew a pie, and then said earnestly: "Zhu Gongzi, you are all talented in civil and military affairs, and my father values ​​you very much. Even if you don't want to be attached to your father, we will join forces to lay the ground and we will never treat you badly. Yes. My father has prepared three thousand stones of grain, ten thousand silver, and other gifts. As long as Zhu Gongzi agrees to move east together, these are all yours!"

   The father and son of the Peng family have always had a good view of Lao Zhu, knowing that he is a talent, but Guo Zixing was jealous and jealous for his son, and forced Lao Zhu to leave Haozhou. If he could take the opportunity to win him over, it would definitely be like a tiger with wings and a dragon flying for nine days.

  Zhu Yuanzhang knows the minds of the Peng family and his sons, but he doesn't want to really rely on them. Since the husband has decided to develop independently, he has the final say.

   And Zhu Yuanzhang noticed that when Peng Zaozhu proposed to head east, Zhang Ximeng's eyelids were drooping, and he became more sleepy.

   "Major Peng, I am honored, and we dare not refuse, but we are still a member of Grand Master Guo. We need to ask Dashuai Guo and discuss with the brothers on how to enter the army. In short, Peng Shuai looks up to us, and we are grateful!"

   Peng lived early and knew that Lao Zhu would not agree easily. If it were so easy to get up, why wait till today.

   "Okay! I'll go tell my father now, it's still the same sentence, what is the command of Lord Zhu, as long as we can do it, we will definitely help!"

   left this sentence, Peng lived early and left.

   Only his own people are left this time, and Zhang Ximeng gave a shock.

   "Master, Peng Shaoshuai has a good heart, but their vision is too bad. It is not a good way to go east."

   Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, and he was also thinking, "Why do you say that, sir?"

   "The lord forgot how Peng Da and the others were driven out of Xuzhou?"

  Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Mr., think that Peng Dashuai still wants to attack Xuzhou?"

   Zhang Ximeng nodded, "Yes, they intend to encroach on Sizhou and then attack Huai'an. The Bingfeng must be Xuzhou."

   "But why would Xuzhou Yuandanzi give up?" Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to understand the point of the matter, he turned his head and took a map and lay it out in front of the big guy.

"At the moment Yuan Tarzi cares most about this canal that runs from north to south. Xuzhou is the key point on the canal. So Zhi Li occupied Xuzhou. Yuan Ting immediately mobilized hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to besiege. If Peng Da and they want to capture Huai'an, they will Will be beaten up by the original soldiers. With our strength, we will follow, and we won't be able to get any advantage."

   Zhang Ximeng smiled and nodded, and sent a flattery, "The lord is wise."

   Old Zhu hummed: "Mr. has already understood it, we can't compare to Mr.... Since the east is not good, how about the west?"

   "Nothing." Zhang Ximeng shook his head directly, "Master, go further west. After Huaiyuan, you will be not far from Liu Futong's site. With our strength, Liu Futong will still be annexed."

  Zhu Yuanzhang believed that he crossed the Huaihe River to the north and developed towards Suzhou. It would be even more unrealistic. The Yuan army stationed a large army in Xuzhou, and when he went there, he hit the rocks with pebbles.

   So it seems that their development route is very clear, which is to go south, take Dingyuan first, and then head to Luzhou and Chuzhou to build a stable site in Jiangbei.

   Although it is said that the two banks of the Huai River and the surrounding canal are the richest and most densely populated places, but with their strength, they absolutely cannot stand.

  Fatty meat is fragrant, but you have to eat it in your mouth.

   "It looks like we only have bones."

   Zhu Yuanzhang put his hand on Dingyuan in the south.

   "It's just that if we want to go south with our current forces, I'm afraid it won't work. We are short of food and grass, weapons, animals...we lack everything, it's really difficult to do."

In history, Zhu Yuanzhang saw a group of worms, unable to get things done. After holding back for half a year, he brought dozens of brothers he recruited to the south. As a result, he swallowed three thousand people in Zhangjiapu, and then attacked again. With Miao Daheng, he got 20,000 soldiers and soon became a prince.

   This series of successes has a lot of chance. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how to go in the future. One of the most obvious evidence is that Guo Zixing was squeezed out and ran to Chuzhou to seek refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang. As a result, Old Zhu obediently handed over 30,000 soldiers to Guo Zixing.

   Guo Zixing was also too wasteful, and he would not grasp the opportunity given him. In the end, the Haozhou Red Scarf was returned to Lao Zhu.

   Zhang Ximeng's appearance broke the window paper in advance, and it also made Lao Zhu's capital even stronger. There were only a few dozen people and he could try his luck, but if he held thousands of people, he needed to be cautious and not fight unprepared battles.

   Zhang Ximeng thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Master, I think this matter is still worth noting!"

   "Count on him?"

   Zhang Ximeng nodded, "I originally planned to knock him a fortune, but now I want to come... I should dig a big hole and squeeze oil from him!"

   Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate, "This beast burned Huangjue Temple, and we almost died in the flames. We have to pay this account to him!"

   Tang and Fei Ju also came over, wanting to hear about Zhang Ximeng's brilliant tricks.

"That's what I think. Isn't Marshal Peng willing to help? Let's ask him to send hundreds of people to circle around Huaiyuan City, so that Cheri can't see it. Then we will create momentum and say it is a few big people. Shuai wants to join forces with Liu Futong to advance westward, join forces with Liu Futong, and go northward to destroy the Yuan. Cheery will definitely be panic. He has had a history with us before, and this thing will definitely inquire about the news. Let's hit hard!"

"Let him give us food, weapons, horses, things arrived, let's find a way to persuade a few big marshals to give up Huaiyuan, march east...In this way, he can also report to the court, saying that he defeated the Red Scarf. Saved the city. As for the loss, it is reasonable!"

   After Zhang Ximeng finished talking about the rough plan, several people's eyes were gloomy.

   Anyway, there are scholars!

   This mind is more than others~www.wuxiaspot.com~ directly extorting Cherrie without spending, how much can he give?

   pulled Peng Zaozhu over, and the effect was immediately doubled.

   and also helped him persuade the army to advance eastward, which is another debt of favor. What's even better is that the army really gave up Huaiyuan, and he could still ask Yuan Ting for merit without spending. He did not lose.

   In short, this is a happy situation for everyone, only Yuan Ting is injured... As for Yuan Ting? The big guy just wants to make it die more ugly!

   Zhu Yuanzhang were very energetic, pulling Zhang Ximeng to talk about the latter half of the night, deliberating on the details, repeating the deduction, making sure that there is no doubt... Zhang Ximeng is getting sleepy, his eyes are red, and tears are coming out.

   "Lord, we are still a young boy who has not been able to sleep long enough." Zhang Ximeng protested: "I think that after going south, we must find a few more literati to help the lord."

   Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes, you just look for it? Where is the right talent?

   But he couldn't bear to get tired of Zhang Ximeng, let him rest, and thoughtfully gave Zhang Ximeng a day off... But during this day, five hundred Peng Da's cavalrymen rushed towards Huaiyuan.

   When they were holding the lantern, they rushed to the outside of Huaiyuan City. The crowd shot arrows towards the city, and several soldiers and horses guarding the city fell.

   "Tell Cheri Do not spend! Grandpa will attack the city soon!"

The Red Scarf Army laughed wildly, they poured oil into the city gate, lit a big fire, and then left... At this time, Cheer Liehua was hugging a pair of sisters, a sip of wine on the left and a sip of food on the right. , I'm so happy.

   When his subordinates ran in and said that the Red Scarf was coming, Che Libuhua immediately flew away, and his whole body was soft and rotten noodles, and the two beauties couldn't warm his ice-cold heart...
