Chapter 395: A plan without bloodshed


    Chapter 394: A plan without bloodshed


    "Zhu Yuanzhang?"


    Zhang Jiao pondered for a moment, but still had no impression at all, so he asked, "What''s the difference between this person?"


    Zhang Liang smiled indifferently and said slowly: "After the defeat in the battle outside Luoyang City, Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to lead thousands of cavalry to cut off the rear. With clever use of the terrain, he successfully delayed tens of thousands of Han army cavalry and killed the Han general Yang Jikang."


    Zhu Yuanzhang had 92 basic military power, but when he was pursued, it was not easy to fight back against Yang Jikang, who had already reached the top-notch military power.


    The actual situation is that Yang Jikang was careless. When facing the joint efforts of Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Wenzhong and Zhu Wenzheng, he was naturally killed instantly without any surprise.


    The killing of Yang Jikang has also become an important contribution to Zhu Yuanzhang''s resume.


    Zhang Jiao''s eyes lit up after listening to Zhang Liang''s introduction. Zhang Liang did not introduce much to Zhu Yuanzhang, but the content was very rich.


    "It is clearly the younger brother of Zhu Wen under Huang Chao, but he is under Xiang Yu, who has a competitive relationship with Huang Chao, which proves that Zhu Yuanzhang does not want to rely on his brother''s relationship and wants to prove himself with his own abilities.


    Huang Chao and Xiang Yu had a bad relationship, but Zhu Yuanzhang still dared to follow Xiang Yu, proving that he was very confident in his talent.


    Faced with the pursuit of thousands of cavalry, he dared to take the initiative to lead thousands of cavalry to break the rear, which proved that he had the courage.


    It can be imagined that it can be used to use the terrain and successfully delay the Han army, proving that it is strategic. ”


    Zhang Jiao slowly made his own analysis, but Zhang Liang smiled knowingly when he saw this, and then he heard Zhang Jiao ask: "Such talented, courageous and strategic general must be suppressed under Xiang Yu, right?"


    “That’s right.”


    Zhang Liang''s lips curled slightly and he smiled faintly: "Because his brother is Zhu Wen, Zhu Yuanzhang has never been able to integrate into the Xiang family system, so even under the command of Xiang Yu, who is full of opportunities, he is still a lieutenant."


    Zhang Jiao nodded and said, "It''s a pity for such a handsome man to be a lieutenant under Xiang Yu''s command. Let''s do this, and order Zhu Yuanzhang to be the vanguard army. This should be a stage suitable for his development."


    Zhang Liang looked as if he was expecting when he heard this, and then shouted to the outside world: "Zhu Yuanzhang, have you heard it? You haven''t come in yet to thank you."


    Zhang Jiao was stunned and turned to smile and said, "You."


    Zhang Jiao naturally understood that Zhang Liang''s move was to make Zhu Yuanzhang grateful to him, but Zhang Jiao didn''t care much.


    Zhang Jiao feels that he is dying. It is what he should do to support talented newcomers, and he can also use his remaining energy.


    As I was thinking, I saw a heroic general coming in. Although this general looked relatively ordinary, his eyes contained wisdom. This person was Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty.


    "The last general Zhu Ming and Zhu Yuanzhang, pay homage to the great wise mentor." Zhu Yuanzhang knelt down and shouted loudly, looking at Zhang Jiao with admiration.


    Zhang Jiao actually underestimated his charm. Among the common people, he is basically equivalent to the idol of the whole nation, but he is not favored by aristocratic families.


    Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Wen are both civilians, and they have come to this day little by little at the bottom, so they admire Zhang Jiao, a hero who leads the common people in the world to fight against the oppression of aristocrats from the bottom of their hearts. Zhang Jiao naturally knew what the spirit in Zhu Yuanzhang''s eyes represented. He had seen it in the eyes of those fanatical believers before when he was preaching.


    Seeing that the battlefield manager showed nervousness, Zhang Jiao chuckled and said kindly, "Get up, I don''t have many rules here, so there is no need to be restrained."


    "Thank you, Daxian, a good teacher."


    Zhu Yuanzhang stood up a little restrainedly, but the spirit in his eyes became brighter and brighter. Zhang Jiao nodded with satisfaction after looking up and down.


    "Zhu Yuanzhang, I ask you, how should our army take Luoyang at the lowest cost?"


    Zhu Yuanzhang felt nervous. He knew that this was Zhang Jiao''s examination for his school. After taking a deep breath to remove the tension in his heart, he slowly said: "The last general believes that there is no strong city in Sizhou that can be defended for a long time except Luoyang. The city of Luoyang is high and thick, and the army is sufficient, so the strong attack will definitely suffer a lot of losses."


    Zhang Jiao listened quietly to Zhu Yuanzhang''s analysis, but the more he listened, the more he became, the more surprised he became. Zhu Yuanzhang''s knowledge even surpassed most Qu Shushang.


    "Although our army has sufficient troops, it is still undesirable to attack Luoyang, and the price is too high and it is not cost-effective. However, as long as our army occupy all other cities, Luoyang will become an isolated city.


    Qin Wen must have known the truth that the lonely city cannot be defended, so even if he really doesn''t want to, he can only take the initiative to give up Luoyang and retreat to Guanzhong, and our army will be able to take Luoyang without bloodshed. ”


    Zhang Jiao was shocked when he heard this. He had tried his best to overestimate Zhu Yuanzhang, but he did not expect to underestimate it.


    Luoyang is indeed difficult to bite, but isn’t Sizhou the only city of Luoyang?


    There are more than 4 million people in the four counties of Sizhou, and Luoyang is just a city in Yinzhong, Henan.


    The Han army concentrated its troops to defend Luoyang, so there were not many garrisons in other cities, and it was not difficult to take these with the Yellow Turban troops, but it would only drag down the Yellow Turban''s advance speed.


    Even if the Yellow Turbans divide their troops to attack other cities in Sizhou, the Han army has no way to stop them, because the Yellow Turbans have enough troops, and once the Han army leaves the city to stop them, it means that they have to confront the Yellow Turbans head-on.


    This is a conspiracy!


    Zhang Jiao nodded with satisfaction. Just based on what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he revealed a strategy that was not inferior to Huang Chao, and he thought to himself: I really found a treasure.


    Zhang Jiao curled his smile and asked with a serious look on his face: "If you hand over the mission of striking Sili, how many troops do you need and how long will it take?"


    "If it were me, um..."


    After careful consideration, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "A month is enough for the army of 200,000."


    Zhang Jiao thought Zhu Yuanzhang would boast of a 100,000 army to take down a Haikou like Sizhou because of his rush, but he didn''t expect that he was so calm and he was even more satisfied.


    "Zhu Yuanzhang obeyed the order, and I now ordered you to lead a 200,000 army and take over the three counties of Henan, Hanoi and Hedong within one month."


    The fourth county in Sizhou is called Hongnong County, and Hongnong is a bridge connecting Chang''an and Luoyang. It not only has a dangerous terrain, but also has many defenders, so it is difficult to attack Hongnong than the three counties.


    If you want to isolate Luoyang, you just need to take down three counties, so Zhang Jiao did not ask Zhu Yuanzhang to attack Hongnong.


    Zhu Yuanzhang widened his eyes. He had thought that he would be valued by great wise men, but he did not expect that great wise men would value him so much.


    What a great contribution to the strategy of Sizhou, I actually have to give myself a small lieutenant. Is the great wise and good teacher going to promote himself to the new Qushou?


    ?The first update will come, and the second update will be one point before! Next is a big decisive battle. The plot advancement and map transfer may be larger, but it is definitely the same wonderful. I hope to continue to support it thank you!
