Ever since the victory in the Longwan battle, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart began to grow bigger. Chen Youliang had always been a sharp sword hanging over his head. If this sword was not removed for a day, it would eventually make him feel uneasy, especially Chen Youliang.

Sitting in Jiangzhou, across Rao, Xin, Kuajing, Xiang and other lands, there was no piece of land that he could not envy.

Now that Longwan is finally victorious, Chen Youliang flees back to Jiangzhou in panic. If he doesn't take advantage of the foundation to stabilize and the morale of the army to fluctuate, he will be eliminated in one fell swoop. When Rang has established a firm foundation and cultivated himself, he will be destroyed by then.

, I’m afraid it will take a lot of effort? So where to go from now on, he must listen to the opinions of his ministers.

Liu Bowen has always felt that now is the best time to capture Chen Youlian's territory. Firstly, Chen Youliang's newly defeated army is unsettled. Secondly, when Chen Youliang was in panic, he did not give any instructions or instructions to the generals in Jiangzhou. Now the army is conquering all the way.

Taiping, Wuhu, Tongling, Chizhou, Anqing, Fuliangcheng, Fuzhou, Xinzhou, and Chen

Youliang's palace is surrounded. You can take this opportunity to order Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Hu Dahai to attack Jiangzhou. Once Jiangzhou is captured, it will undoubtedly be a major blow to Chen Youliang, and Zhu Yuanzhang can

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he continued to go south and captured Hongdu in one fell swoop! As a result, Chen Youliang felt like a lump in his throat, and he couldn't vomit or feel unhappy!

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up his wine glass and smiled at the court officials: "In the battle of Longwan, I relied on your full support to save Jinling City and the hundreds of thousands of people in the city. Come on, I will pay you my respects again...

?”

"Drink...?" A drunk general shouted, grabbed the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down his wine glass, glanced at everyone's faces one by one, and said loudly: "Now, Chen Youliang is newly defeated and has returned to Jiangzhou in panic. The foundation will definitely be unstable and the morale of the army will be unstable. If Jiangzhou is captured in one fell swoop at this time...

…?"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could finish his words, some drunk generals in the crowd started shouting and encouraging, and for a while the hall kept shouting.

Only Li Shanchang was unhappy. He glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang with a frown, gritted his teeth and stood up, clasping his fists and saying, "My lord... I have something to say...?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked happy. Besides, he had great trust in Li Shanchang. Hearing that he had something to say, he quickly put down his wine glass and waved to everyone. After everyone's shouts completely quieted down, he said to Li Shanchang: "Sir, you have something to say."

Please say it!"

Such thoughtful concern immediately made Li Shan's long nose twitch a little, sniffed his nose, clasped his fists and said: "The art of war is clear, don't pursue poor enemies. Although Chen Youliang has defeated Longwan, his strength is still there. Once the commander captures Jiangzhou, his foundation will be in danger

, The trapped beast is still fighting, for fear of being disadvantageous to the commander-in-chief?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said "hmm". It's not like he hadn't considered this issue before. In the battle of Jiuhua Mountain, Chen Youliang was defeated. Instead of returning to Jiangzhou to recuperate, he instead assembled an army of 300,000 to capture Chizhou, Wuhu, and Taiping. This time

Defeated Longwan, lost Taiping, Wuhu, Tongling, Chizhou, Anqing, Fuliang City, Fuzhou, Xinzhou, etc.

It is inevitable to rise up and recapture it. Depending on the strength of the Han army, once the morale of the army is stable, it is not impossible to recapture the cities from Taiping to Xinzhou. However, the current situation is that if we do not take the opportunity to capture Jiangzhou, Chen Youliang will also counterattack when his morale is restored, as will be done later.

It is better to strike first and be stronger than to suffer disaster. It was this thought that gave Zhu Yuanzhang the idea of ​​capturing Jiangzhou.

"Commander...?" Liu Bowen, who had been silent as Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, stood up, clasped his fists and called out.

"Military advisor...do you have anything to say...?" Upon hearing Liu Bowen's words, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly beamed. In the battle of Longwan, Liu Bowen's method of winning thousands of miles, and his courage to live and die with Yingtian as if he were facing death, made Zhu Yuanzhang look at this scholar with admiration.

, he already knew his right-hand man in his heart, and now listening to his words, he wanted to hear his views on the capture of Jiangzhou.

Liu Bowen said sincerely: "In the battle of Longwan, our soldiers worked together to defeat the Han army and returned. Now our army's morale is strong. In recent days, we have successively conquered Taiping, Wuhu, Tongling, Chizhou, Anqing, and Fuliang City.

Fuzhou, Xin

In the land of Zhou, Jiangzhou is the only one left, but it is not known. Chen Youliang, with his heroic posture, has Jiang and Chu, and controls the upper reaches. The terrain is dangerous and the soldiers are strong, so he can conquer and become powerful. If he does not take the opportunity to break it, he will be defeated.

Have you forgotten the battle at Mount Jiuhua?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart skipped a beat. In the battle of Jiuhua Mountain, Chang Yuchun, Xu Da led the ambush and defeated Chen Youliang in one fell swoop, but soon afterwards, Chen Youliang's army counterattacked and conquered Taiping and Anqing in one fell swoop. Although Chen Youliang was defeated,

The strength is still there, who can guarantee that he will not fight back? "

Among the generals, only Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Xiao Yun had clear eyes. The others were all drunk and had no idea what Zhu Yuanzhang was talking about. Zhu Yuanzhang looked around the three of them and hesitantly fixed his gaze on Xiao Yun.

He hesitated and said: "Brother Xiao, how dare I be the commander?"

Xiao Yun had just reviewed this period of history in his mind, and vaguely remembered that not long after the battle at Longwan, Zhu Yuanzhang followed Liu Bowen's advice and sent his army south to attack Jiangzhou and took the opportunity to seize Jiangdu.

During the Hongdu Battle, when Zhu Yuanzhang asked about it, he pondered for a moment and said: "Report to the commander-in-chief, I am a humble minister."

I think that what Liu Junshang said is reasonable. Although Chen Youliang is not as good as Xiang Yu, he is a tyrant of his generation, but he is cunning and erratic. He is undaunted by hardships and bounces back after repeated defeats. Looking at his defeat at Jiuhua Mountain, he is still the same.

He made a comeback, captured Anqing, Chizhou, Quishi, and Taiping, and then came to the city. His strength should not be underestimated. Now Longwan is newly defeated.

If the commander-in-chief does not take advantage of his army's weakening morale and low morale to conquer Jiangzhou in one fell swoop, once he recovers his strength and makes a comeback, how will the victory or defeat be known?"

"Yes, Marshal!" At this time, Xu Da also stepped forward and clasped his fists: "General, I heard that Chen Youliang built a secret weapon in Jiangzhou early in the morning, but it has not been successful yet. If we don't attack Jiangzhou at this time, I'm afraid...?

"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and suddenly laughed out loud, saying: "Master Liu's words make sense!" His eyes touched Li Shanchang, and when he saw his lips moving, as if he had something to say, Zhu Yuanzhang said again

: "The concerns of those who participate in politics are not unreasonable!"

Li Shanchang originally wanted to persuade him again, but after hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, but saw his firm eyes and excited light on his face. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had already made up his mind to attack Jiangzhou, so he said this.

, just taking care of his own face, he sighed slightly and said no more words.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, looked around at the ministers and said: "The military counselor's kind words have made me clear the way. Chen Youliang has occupied the upper reaches. He has never forgotten himself, so he should plan for it first. At present, the morale of the army is fluctuating. If I don't take the opportunity to make a move,

The attack will inevitably come back again in the future, so I decided to...?"

Liu Bowen, Xiao Yun and a group of drunk generals heard Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous tone, and couldn't help but feel in their hearts. Their eyes flicked to the ground, and they all focused on him.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and after a while, he finally said: "I have decided to personally lead an army to attack Jiangzhou!"
