Chapter 948 : Coincidence

Zhu Wen was sitting in the front seat, crossing his legs and lowering his head and drinking the West Lake Longjing, which was foggy. He sucked, then raised his head, glanced at Xiao Yun, smiled slightly, and said, "In the battle of Hongdu, Lord Xiao, General Deng was determined to command, and he killed Chen Youliang's five thousand elite soldiers under the Fuzhou city gate during the conversation and laughter. At that time, it was related to life and death. The two lords were calm and composed. Why did the Hongdu encirclement be lifted today? The 600,000 Han army had completely evacuated Hongdu. Why did the two lords look like this?"

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Hong Youyou is indestructible, but Xiaguan just got the news that Chen Youliang's army was heading south and heading straight to Poyang Lake to fight the lord?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yun seemed a little depressed. He picked up a glass of water and wine on the table, raised his head and drank it all. He then breathed, saying, "Poyang Lake stretched for thousands of miles, which is where Chen Youliang's ship has the advantage of the ship. It has a 600,000 army and more than 10,000 dragon ships. The strength cannot be underestimated. The lord's ship is less than 3,000, and its strength is less than half of the Han army. In the battle of Poyang, according to Xiaguan, the situation is not optimistic. I believe that the current situation of the war must have known a long time ago. Xiaguan and the lord have formed a golden orchid. At the beginning, he vowed not to be born in the same year and the same month, but to die in the same year and the same month. Now the lord is facing danger. How can a brother ignore it? So...?"

Zhu Wenzheng's eyes flashed, he glanced at Xiao Yun's face, and said lightly: "Does Lord Xiao want to lead his army to Poyang Lake?"

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Jinlan, brothers see that they are in trouble, how can they sit idly by? Although Chen Youliang is powerful, Xiao is not afraid!"

Zhu Wenzheng lowered his head and pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "It is easy to send troops to Poyang Lake. Chen Youliang's 600,000 troops can defend the Fuzhou city gate for 85 days. This ability is understood by me. However, Hongdu has just experienced a great war and there are not many soldiers and soldiers. I am afraid that it is difficult to lead the army to Poyang Lake?"

Xiao Yun knew that Zhu Wenzheng was telling the truth. The Hongdu War had just ended. The soldiers who had been hungry for more than two months and had been trapped for 85 days did need to rest. There were indeed very few soldiers who could go to battle. However, Xiao Yun was a little worried about the battle of Poyang Lake. Although the results were known from later text records, things in the world are unpredictable and hard to rest. Therefore, Xiao Yun had the idea of ​​rushing to Poyang Lake in person. Secondly, he also thought about the ending of Zhu Wenzheng in the future. If he continued to stay here, he might be suspected by the suspicious Zhu Yuanzhang. This was his greatest purpose.

Zhu Wenzheng narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Xiao is loyal to his lord. I admire him. However, the siege of Hongdu has just been lifted and it is difficult to send troops for a while. This...?"

Xiao Yun said: "It's okay. There are at least 500 guards from Xiaguan and Brother Deng. They are strong and familiar with water wars. Many people understand the fortresses of Poyang Lake and the important roads everywhere. If the adults agree, Xiaguan will lead the five hundred guards to Hongdu and rescue the lord by surprise!"

Xiao Yun's words were reasonable, but they were a bit sincere. Zhu Wenzheng and Du Ziyi behind him were moved when they heard this. Xiao Yun was indeed loyal to his lord. No wonder his lord valued him so much!

After some thought, Zhu Wenzheng was a little unsure. Now that the siege of Hongdu has just been lifted, it is hard to guarantee that Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, and the Tartars took the opportunity to attack, so Hongdu was unable to leave for a while, but now the battle of Poyang Lake is in bad shape. Xiao Yun volunteered to show his life to express his feelings and wanted to save his lord. If he didn't allow him to go, there would inevitably be no one to go around. If Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Poyang Lake, it would be fine. Once he lost to Poyang Lake and did not allow Xiao Yun to go, wouldn't it seem that he had a purpose? But after agreeing to Xiao Yun, five hundred guards would have to give Xiao Yun, and he would have to add some troops. In this way, Hongdu's fewer troops would be even more pitiful?

After some conspiracy, Zhu Wenzheng was also a little unsure of attention. He raised his gaze slightly. When the two of them looked at him, his sinister eyes narrowed, swept across them one by one, and finally fell on Deng Yu's face, and said coldly: "What do you think of General Deng?"

Deng Yu came with Xiao Yun today. Since he came in, he sat upright behind Xiao Yun without saying a word. Only his eyes were turned around and he seemed cunning and wise. When Zhu Wenzheng asked, he seemed to have expected it. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Chen Youliang has been besieging Hongdu for more than two months and is about to succeed, but when he heard that the lord's army rushed to Poyang Lake, he completely withdrew from Hongdu and rushed to Poyang Lake. It is obvious that he had planned to use the dragon ship to fight the lord's decisive battle with Poyang Lake!"

Zhu Wenzheng nodded, obviously very much in agreement with Deng Yu's words. Although Zhu Wenzheng did not fight many battles, including the battle of Hongdu, he only helped Zhu Yuanzhang train troops on weekdays. However, this does not mean that he has no unique vision. In fact, from Chen Youliang's 600,000 troops withdrawing from Hongdu and rushing south, he already vaguely felt that a war was coming. This battle must be a battle of kings. Therefore, after the Hongdu siege was lifted, he did not relax immediately, but immediately started to resume training soldiers, because once Zhu Yuanzhang lost to Chen Youliang, Jinling City would inevitably not be able to return. The only thing he could come was Hongdu, who could use the solidity of Hongdu city to retreat, and defend and attack. In this way, the second Hongdu War must come, and only preparations must be made in advance.

Hearing Deng Yu's words at this moment, he was just in line with what he thought in his heart, and he couldn't help but nod.

Seeing Zhu Wenzheng nodding, Deng Yu also let go of his airs. After pausing, he said, "The more this happens, the more worried the officials are... Although the morale of the Han army is low, Hongdu has been in danger all the time for two months. If I had not made arrangements and increased the city, it would be difficult to stop Chen Youliang's dragon boat's attack with just one city. Poyang Lake stretches for thousands of miles, the lake surface is wide and the water is deep, which is the advantage of the dragon boat. Chen Youliang can't wait to rush to Poyang Lake this time, and it must be the place where the problem is seen. It is difficult to guarantee that Chen Youliang will not...? I am worried...?"
