When he heard that Hongdu was still in Zhu Wenzheng's hands, Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief. Except for Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong and others who were still calm, the other civil and military officials were a little unbelievable after hearing the news and started to whisper.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhang Ziming and said, "It's just what?"

Zhang Ziming said: "It's just that Hongdu is besieged by the Han army at present, with less than 20,000 soldiers in the city. The number of Hongdu gates is so large that these troops alone are not enough to deal with the next attack of the Han army. The general asks the last general to come and ask the Duke to send troops to rescue?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Send troops to rescue..."

Zhang Ziming said: "That's right now, it's mid-June, and the river water is turning withering and getting lower and lower day by day. Chen Youliang came out in full swing, and more than tens of thousands of dragon boats were soon not conducive to the dragon boats' movements on the river. They are now fighting hard for two months, with food and grass scarce and exhausted soldiers. When the lord reinforcements arrive, reinforcements arrive and attack inside and outside, they will surely defeat the enemy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked a little ugly. In Anfeng's battle, he ignored Liu Bowen's bitter advice and privately led a large army to attack Anfeng. After that, Xu Da kept persuading and insisted on urging troops to attack Luzhou. Now several months have passed. The 100,000 army led by Xu Da, attacked Luzhou for several months but failed to break the city. At present, the entire Jinling has less than 100,000 elite troops. If the army is led to aid, the city of Jinling will inevitably become an empty city. At that time, Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, and the Tatars take the opportunity to attack. What should we do?

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was pondering, he suddenly heard Liu Bowen calling out: "Lord..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fell on Liu Bowen's face, looked at him calmly for a while, and then said, "What should the military advisor do in this matter?"

Liu Bowen brushed the long beard under his forehead, smiled faintly, and said, "There are many military tactics, and the real one is weak, and the real one is solid. Chen Youliang came out in full swing and gave up the strong city of Hongdu, which was already a bad idea. Now that he has been besieged for several months, the river is drying up, which is not conducive to the operation of giant ships, and the Chen army lacks food and many soldiers die. This shows that this is a good opportunity at this time?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed, staring at Liu Bowen and whispered: "Are the military advisors of great ideas?"

Liu Bowen's eyes flashed strangely and said, "The scholar is sincere and defending the enemy, and it is not worth worrying. Friends and friends are threatening the lord, whose name is not right, and the land is at the top, and their hearts are never forgotten. It is better to take action first. Chen's destruction and Zhang's power is lonely. One move can be determined. Which is the current situation is more important, can't the Duke still tell the difference?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Yes, once Chen Youliang is destroyed, it will be difficult for the world to decide? People...?"

"The last general is here..." Guo Ying, the pro-guard commander, stepped forward and clasped his fists.

"Send people to Luzhou immediately and pass the commander's command, and order Xu Da to lead 100,000 elite troops to Yingtian quickly, without any mistakes!"

"Yes!" Guo Ying responded with a clasped his fist and flew away.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a breath, turned his gaze to Zhang Ziming, pondered for a moment, and said, "Zhang Qianhu..."

Zhang Ziming said loudly: "The last one will be here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I ordered you to hurry back to Hongdu and tell the head coach Zhu Wenzheng and deputy commander Xiao Yun that the two of them have no need to stand for another month. The army is rushing back from Luzhou. A month later, the general will lead his troops to defeat the enemy!"

"Yes!" Zhang Ziming held his fists and turned to Ming.

Hukou is located at the junction of three provinces in Hubei, Anhui and Jiangxi. It is named after the only intersection of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake. It is the "North Gate of the Water on Jiangxi". It is known as the "Key of the River and Lake, the thoroughfare of the Three Provinces". It has always been a place that military strategists must compete for. Shizhong Mountain, Caishan and its surrounding rivers and lakes are ancient battlefields for thousands of years. Emperor Wu of Han visited the south and shot the dragon in the rivers; in the 13th year of Jian'an (208), Zhou Yu trained the navy at Poyang Lake; in the third year of Yuanxing of Emperor An of Jin (404), Liu Yu's troops broke Huan Xuan's troops in Sangluozhou, and they all came from Hukou. The siege for several consecutive days made Chen Youliang even more convinced that it would be a matter of time before it could be captured. However, in order to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to break through the siege and go out of the city to rescue, he built Hukou City overnight!

At night, the lights were brightly lit in Hukou City, hundreds of soldiers on the city tower were patrolling back and forth, and a figure quietly approached the city gate.

The person who came was very careful, like a cat, and several people came to the city gate. Under the light, the man was about to jump out of the gate when he suddenly heard a soldier on the city gate shouting: "Who is it! Stop me!"

The soldiers on the top of the city were in a state of chaos, and soon the group of people came out, and they were in the lead. They were standing under the city gate. They looked at the person under the light. The person was wearing a hat with a hat, with the edge of the hat pressing against the eyebrows, and a few goatee beards floated under the jaw. The appearance under the light should be about thirty years old, wearing a short brown body, rolled up trousers, barefoot, dressed in the dress of a farmer. After hearing the shouts, the person who had just raised his waist immediately bowed.

"You two go over and ask, see what you are from and what you are going to do. If you have any doubts, take it down immediately!"

"Abide by the order!"

Two soldiers wearing Hanfu, with a narrow-minded and single-killing man hanging under their ribs, responded, and immediately held the single-killing man and walked towards the city gate.

"What are you doing?" a tall man shouted.

"Ah... I'm a commoner here. I'm catching some fish at night. I don't want to come back late..." The person who came arched his back and responded carefully.

One of the two glanced at his companion, glanced suspiciously on the person coming, and whispered: "Old He, do you think he is a spy from Zhu Jun?"

Another man glanced at the person who came after hearing this, looked at his hunched back and trembling feet, and couldn't help but smile, saying, "Soldier Zhu is all brave and good at fighting. 20,000 troops are facing His Majesty's 600,000 troops. I have never seen anyone tremble after this battle. Look at this person?"

"Well, what I'm saying!" After discussing the two, the second person said, "I can't say this yet. I have to check it out before I know. I heard that Zhu Jun is very cunning. Could it be that he was deceived?"

"Yes, yes, brothers are saying it? But logically speaking, if it were a spy of Zhu Jun, there would be no such trembling principle, but now at this time, the war between Hongdu is about to come, and this person is still in the mood to fish. Based on this alone, it shows that this person is a bit difficult. If that is the case, we have been deceived. Since we have been discovered, it is better to arrest him and interrogate him!"
