Chapter 632 Five Han troops attacked Ming


    Chapter 630: Five Han troops attacked Ming


    The Ming Dynasty, since its founding, has been in a difficult situation, and has constant internal and external troubles.


    After Yangzhou Governor Hong Xiuquan rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, Xuzhou Governor Fang La also completely broke up with the Ming court because of "slandering" Emperor Zhang Sheng as a woman.


    Due to the deterrence of the Han army outside, both sides were extremely restrained and did not escalate into war.


    But as Liu Yao abolished the troops south of the Yangtze River, Fang La naturally became more courageous after he disappeared from the south, and the relationship between the two sides became increasingly tense.


    Fang La didn''t want to go to war with the Ming Dynasty, after all, he also knew that there were many powerful generals in the Ming army.


    But since he was defined as a traitor, Fang La has been despised by all the Yellow Turban people, and the cohesion of his group has become worse and worse.


    Fang La thought that Liu Yao withdrew his army to deliberately induce him to go to war with the Ming army, but he could no longer drag it down because he didn''t have to fight if he dragged it down, and his team would collapse on its own, so he could only fight for the last hope.


    As Fang La''s behavior became more and more arrogant, the war was inevitable. Zhang Sheng decided to take the initiative to catch Fang La off guard.


    Zhang Sheng accepted Zhang Liang''s plan and was preparing to take advantage of the fact that Fang La''s main force was in Huainan. On the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang led a 100,000 army to confront Fang La on the front, and on the other hand, he appointed Xiang Yu to lead 50,000 troops to attack the Xuzhou area where Fang La''s weak power was.


    Xuzhou was Fang La''s place of origin. If he could occupy it, it would be like breaking Fang La''s arm. Then Xiang Yu was detouring with Zhu Yuanzhang, and the two armies attacked each other from left to right, and Fang La''s rebellion could be quelled in an instant.


    Although Xiang Yu was defeated many times by Qin Hao, he still had extremely high power in the Ming Dynasty.


    Fang La appointed a general garrison in Xuzhou. Seeing Xiang Yu leading his troops, he didn''t dare to resist at all, and most of them chose to surrender directly.


    A small number of loyal people were easily broken by Xiang Yu due to insufficient troops.


    In this way, in just one month, Xiang Yu directly wiped out one county and two countries owned by Fang La in Xuzhou, and then prepared to attack Zhu Yuanzhang on both sides to completely eliminate Fang La''s rebellion.


    Then what Zhang Liang was most worried about happened.


    Of course, the great man would not watch Fang La be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, so he was stuck at the most important moment and decisively chose to send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty.


    In the fourth year of Zhongping, on May 20, Emperor Liu Hong of Han issued an official edict, and five armies directly came out.


    On the east road, Lu Zhi was the main general, and he met with two major princes, Li Yuan and Yang Jian. Generals such as Li Shimin, Li Yuanba, Li Xiaogong, Yang Guang, Yuwen Chengdu, Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianci led the Han and Liang coalition forces to directly go east out of Hulao Pass and attack Yanzhou, the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.


    On the southern road, Liu Yao was the main general, and the four princes of Wujun Prefect Sun Jian, Lu Kang, Kuaiji Prefect Wang Lang, and Jiangxia Prefect Huang Zu led the Jingyang coalition army to 100,000, cross the Yangtze River to threaten Xuzhou.


    On the north road, Huangfu Song was the main general, and the four princes of Hejian Prefect Han Fu, Bohai Prefect Yuan Shao, Qinghe Prefect Zhang Shicheng, and Changshan Prefect Chen Youliang led the Jizhou coalition forces to the south and attack Dou Jiande, who owned the two counties and two countries of Jizhou.


    As for the two armies, the Qingyou Alliance and Yuan Cao counties.


    The Qingyou Alliance, with Liu Yu who went south as the main general, met with the three major princes of Liu Bei, the prefect of Liaodong Plain, Song Jiang, the prefect of Liangshan, and Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai. They led the Youqing Alliance to 100,000 and went south to attack Huang Chao, who owned a county in Qingzhou and the three kingdoms.


    As for the Yuan and Cao coalition, Yuan Shu, the prefect of Runan, was the main general, and Cao Cao, the prefect of Yingchuan, led an army of 60,000 to attack Li Mi, who had two counties left in Yuzhou.


    Five armies and twenty princes, a total of 460,000 troops, pretending to be 700,000 troops, and they acted like an attitude of not giving up in the Ming Dynasty.


    Qin Wen, the governor of Bingzhou, was already in a state of power because the Hetao War had just ended and he was already in a state of exhaustion. When Liaodong attacked the prefect Gongsun Zan, he had to be on guard against the Wuhuan, so he did not participate in this campaign to destroy the Ming Dynasty.


    As for Qin Hao, the prefect of Nanyang, the territory did not border the Ming Dynasty, so he was no longer on the list of conscripts this time.


    The civil strife in the Ming Dynasty has not been eliminated, and foreign enemies have arrived again. In the eyes of most people, the day of destruction of the country is just around the corner.


    Faced with the fierce five Han army, the Ming Dynasty did not have any fear, but chose to fight bravely.


    Although the strength of the enemy and us is very different, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, the Ming Dynasty will never give up.


    Originally, Zhang Sheng was preparing to shake hands with Fang La for the time being, but Zhang Liang advised her to buy some time for Xiang Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang.


    Zhang Liang believed that Fang La had no generals under his command, and with the strength of the coalition forces of Xiang Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang, he would definitely be able to completely defeat Fang La''s army in a short time, and he would be more sure to fight the Han army with the momentum of victory.


    If Fang La cannot be completely solved, keeping him behind will eventually be a disaster. Now the Ming Dynasty is full of enemies, so you must not keep such a big disaster.


    After hearing this, Zhang Sheng felt it made sense, so he decided to lead 80,000 troops to resist Lu Zhi, and ordered Dou Jiande, Huang Chao and Li Mi to stay away from the dead, until Xiang Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the army, and the battle would naturally be won.


    Although Dou Jiande and Huang Chao''s troops were not as strong as Huangfu Song and Liu Yu, there was no problem in defending each other, while Li Mi was more miserable.


    Li Mi and Yuan Shucao were defeated repeatedly in battle. The land of the four countries that originally owned by Yuzhou was also taken away by Yuan Shu. The remaining two countries were simply unable to resist the Yuan and Cao coalition forces.


    Zhang Liang knew that Li Mi could not stop the Yuan and Cao coalition forces, so he urged Zhang Sheng to send reinforcements to Li Mi to prevent the collapse of the southwest defense line. Yuan and Cao coalition forces advanced straight into Chenliu.


    After much thought, Zhang Sheng decided to send Li Zicheng to lead 20,000 troops to support Li Mi, not seeking to defeat the enemy, but seeking no mistakes.

    Nanyang, Wancheng.


    After Qin Hao received the news of the five Han troops attacking the Ming Dynasty, he immediately drew several strategic maps.


    Daming has worries about Fang La''s rebellion inside, and outside, there are risks of the advance of the five Han army. This is a deadly situation with almost no life or death.


    Even if you hand over the army to a peerless commander like Bai Qi, you will not be able to break such a difficult situation with the dispersed enemy forces on all sides.


    Of course, there is no possibility. The only hope is external intervention, because such a situation cannot be reversed by human resources.


    Qin Hao was ready to be a foreign force to help the Ming Dynasty. Of course, he would not betray the Dahan. His help was only to trigger the balance system, so that the Ming Dynasty could have more talents to fight against the Dahan.


    Qin Hao currently only needs one summon to trigger the balance, and with Qin Hao''s deliberate delay, the time has been delayed for a long time this time. Once the balance is triggered, there will definitely be many characters that will explode.


    Qin Hao can only help the Ming Dynasty to this point. As for whether he can completely overcome this disaster, it depends on how the Ming Dynasty operates.
