The arrival of Wang Guangyang brought a touch of warmth to Liu Futong, no matter what, Zhu Yuanzhang still pays attention to the overall situation.

In response to the Northern Expedition, Liu Futong had a great idea, and his plan was to divide the troops in three ways.

First launched an army from Henan to attack Shanzhou, which is the key place where Li Yanxian had fought for more than two years. After capturing Shanzhou, the army entered the customs, took Shaanxi, and then attacked Dadu.

This is a very classic route. Back then, Jin Bing took this route and almost wiped out Zhao Song.

Now that Zhao Song wants to push Yuan Ting, it can be said that there is nothing new in history, but it is just a change of skin, and it is staged again and again.

Liu Futong's ambitions did not stop there. He planned to send Mao Gui to Shandong to manage the troops and horses there, and then take Dadu from Shandong.

If both wings are successful, it will be like two knives, inserted into the Yuan court, one is kicking, the other is whipping, and then he will shoot, jab the front, and end the rule of the Yuan court.

Perfect!

Faced with the three-axes arranged by Teacher Liu, Wang Guangyang didn't know much, but he just felt that it was too huge. Does Han Song have this ability?

Lan Yu turned around, and he also had his own opinion. Although Lan Yu was not an outstanding student, he also learned a lot from Zhang Ximeng.

Especially Zhang Ximeng, who is always counting military supplies, manipulating personnel and military discipline... Lan Yu has learned a lot. Remember the URL m.xbeqge. com

At this moment, looking at Liu Futong's Northern Expedition plan again, Lan Yu shook his head.

Liu Futong was the first to revolt, with a large number of soldiers and a large number of generals. Everyone knows this.

However, the territory of the Han and Song Dynasties was also limited to the area between the Huaihe River and the Ruhe River. To put it bluntly, it was mainly Henan. Although the area is larger than Laozhu, due to the flooding of the Yellow River, people's livelihood has been withered, and the output is limited.

It is absolutely impossible to supply so many troops.

In particular, it is even more impossible to send troops on three routes.

If Zhang Ximeng was in charge of the logistics, he would definitely scold his mother, and he couldn't do it if he was exhausted!

Obviously, Liu Futong's plan is to support the war with war, and rely on capture to maintain military supplies and forages.

"This is impossible!"

Wang Guangyang can still understand this matter. "The Yuan court did not have much food and grass. Once the Northern Expedition army was insufficient, they would loot the people. Once they looted the people, the people's hearts would be lost. What is the difference between the Northern Expedition Army and the Yuan court? At that point, I think the Northern Expedition is about to end!"

Lan Yuhe sneered, leaning against the chair of the master teacher, and sneered: "I now understand what Mr. Zhang asked me to learn from. If we go on a northern expedition in the future, we can't learn from them!"

Lan Yu thought about it again, and simply picked up the pen, ready to write a letter to Zhang Ximeng, detailing his insights. Wang Guangyang also mentioned the pen, and he also wanted to say something.

Han Song's Northern Expedition plan is like this, and they don't need to persuade them to say anything... and even if they persuade, people will not listen.

Do Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates need to help Liu Futong win the battle?

I can't!

The question now is how to reconcile the interests of the two sides.

Liu Futong's intention was to hand over Luzhou, Lu'an, and Wuwei Prefecture to Han Song as their rear to supply military supplies.

In addition, Xuzhou, Suzhou, and Huai'an Mansion were also handed over to them as the base camp for attacking Shandong.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not need to be a minister, he still had to pay tribute to Han and Song every year, and it was calculated according to the vassal state for the time being.

Liu Futong's account is very clear, Zhu Yuanzhang is still only a marshal, and he treats you as a vassal state. If you make a lot of money and pay tribute to us, shouldn't it be right!

Faced with these conditions, Wang Guangyang laughed angrily. Liu Futong took Zhu Yuanzhang as a defeat for peace, which was ridiculous!

"Liu Taibao, do you think my superiors are here to seek peace?"

Liu Futong chuckled, "Zhu Yuanzhang really has a good momentum, but in the end he only has Chuzhou and Hezhou, and the rest of Haozhou, Sizhou, Yangzhou are not complete, how can he be compared with us? You are welcome, although we have formed an alliance, But it is still clear who is the eldest brother and who is the second brother."

In a word, he wants to be the big brother and asks for anything from the little brother!

"Liu Taibao, the superior of my family is out of righteousness. In order to destroy the Yuan together, I ignored the previous suspicion and sent me to negotiate. But you regard the kindness of the superior of my family as cowardice, wantonly oppress us, ruthlessly exploit us, and don't take us back at all. It's a matter. Liu Taibao, could it be that you have established a national title and become emperors, don't you know that the sky is high? Don't forget, the hundreds of thousands of troops that Tuotuo defeated were only defeated by the superiors of my family, you are just sitting on the sidelines!"

Liu Futong was still disdainful, "Your family's superior? How did I hear that it was Zhang Shicheng's credit? Besides, if you have the ability, you can become emperor and you are waiting for good news!"

Liu Futong's attitude was quite arrogant. Wang Guangyang was really angry, but he also knew that if he walked away, the negotiations were likely to break down. If Liu Futong attacked Huaixi at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's main force was in Jiangnan, and it would be very difficult to deal with it, even The whole strategy could fall short.

Therefore, Wang Guangyang changed his strategy and went all out to talk with Du Zundao. Compared with Liu Futong's expansion, Du Zundao was still calm.

Du Zundao often spoke ill of Liu Futong to Han Liner, and Han Song fought very hard inside.

Under the operation of Wang Guangyang, the question of how to treat Zhu Yuanzhang has become the focus of internal disputes between Han and Song.

Liu Futong and a lot of generals did not take Zhu Yuanzhang in their eyes, while Du Zundao, Sheng Wenyu and others believed that Zhu Yuanzhang was a hero and should not be humiliated.

Du Zundao was the prime minister of the Han and Song regimes and was above Liu Futong. The two of them had long been in conflict. When they encountered such a thing, they quickly got into a fight. It was probably Liu Futong who accused Du Zundao of "Tongzhu betraying the country", and then Du Zandao said that Liu Futong Arrogant and arrogant.

Very understand the situation of the king vs the sleeping king.

Faced with this situation, Wang Guangyang has no choice but to wait for them to quarrel!

Lan Yu is still wandering around every day, collecting information and intelligence, and he really gradually fell in love with this job.

As for Wu Datou, who was detained, he had already left the prison at this moment, and he had a separate courtyard. Although he was locked up, he was visited every day, drinking and talking, and sang from time to time. Life was not happy.

Obviously, there will be no results on their side for a while, and Zhu Yuanzhang's side, after winning Taiping, mobilized all the troops and went straight to Jinling!

Just before taking the oath to send troops, Zhu Yuanzhang announced the establishment of the Grand Marshal's Palace for Taiping and Rejuvenation.

It is a word different from the Taiping Xingguo Yi Marshal's Mansion in history. There is no doubt that this is also Zhang Ximeng's suggestion. Marshal generals, commanding troops and horses.

In line with the principle of no two, Zhang Ximeng directly suggested the establishment of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, the establishment of the Commanding Army Division under the Grand Marshal's Mansion, and then the division of commanders, directly under the Grand Marshal, to lead the armies.

The official system set up by Zhang Ximeng always satisfied Lao Zhu's heart, so he readily accepted it.

Before the official attack on Jinling, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to temporarily appoint ten commanders of the unified army to serve as role models for the generals.

"Ten commanders, ten battalions of troops and horses, in the order of the heavenly stems. We will give Tang He from Yangzhou for this A battalion! He was the first to follow us, and he has made many contributions. We were the nine commanders back then, and we had a thousand households. Just obey us. We will always remember this kindness in our hearts."

Hearing Lao Zhu's words, everyone was convinced. Tang He's qualifications are indeed here.

"The commander of the commander of this B-battalion is Xu Da!"

With a smile on Lao Zhu's face, he made no secret of his appreciation, "When he attacked Zhao Junyong, Xu Da made a great contribution, stopped Xuexue in Tianchang, and made a great contribution. In the battle of Hezhou, he also commanded the main force to attack the city... Let's say, Xu Da is handsome!"

Xu Da's face flushed, and he felt a little embarrassed. He hurriedly bowed, "It is all cultivated by the superior, and the only way to repay the inferior position is death!"

Lao Zhu smiled and asked him to return to the queue.

Arriving at Camp C, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around, and finally set his eyes on Feng Guoyong.

"You originally suggested crossing the river to capture Jiqing, thinking that the fundamental land is now at your fingertips. Are you willing to take it for us?"

Feng Guoyong was inexplicably excited. He was not the first to belong to Lao Zhu, but he was so heavily used that he dispatched troops to the third place, how could he not be grateful!

"Thank you for the grace of the superior, you will never give up in the end!"

Old Zhu was overjoyed, and immediately went to the T-shaped camp. This camp fell on Fei Ju. He had been relying on Lao Zhu since Linhuai, and he was also a veteran. .

Then Lao Zhu ordered four battalion commanders in succession, namely Wu Liang, commander of the E-shaped battalion, Lu Zhongheng, the commander of the Ji-shaped battalion, Tang Shengzong, the commander of the Geng-shaped battalion, and Hu Dahai, the commander of the Xin-shaped battalion.

The Renzi Battalion was in a special situation and belonged to the cavalry establishment. The commander was handed over to Huayun, and the deputy commander was Wu Zhen.

The Guizi Battalion was established by the navy. So far, the navy has not been able to be too large, so it can only set up one commander, which was given to Yu Tingyu, and the deputy commander was Liao Yongan.

The tenth battalion commander has been confirmed. Everyone present, some are happy, some are disappointed, but no matter what, the overall situation has been determined, and we can only wait for the future.

But just after the generals thought it was over, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed, "We have appointed the tenth battalion commander, but we still have four temporary battalions here, so we won't give them official names. After the Jinling is laid, we will re-arrange... These four temporary commanders... Chang Yuchun!"

Zhu Yuanzhang named him. Chang Yuchun jumped up from his seat almost like a spring. He couldn't believe it. Is my chance here?

He immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed, "Thank you, your superior, for your consideration, superior, I, I will go through fire and water, and I will do whatever it takes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang just hummed lightly, and then ordered others.

"Deng Youde, Zhang Desheng."

Two more people stood up, Deng Youde joined very late, but in the battle of Hezhou, he made the first move.

Zhang Desheng started from the Chaohu Navy Division, but he lured Naha to make great achievements. He belongs to a warrior who is not afraid of sacrifice. Lao Zhu also appreciates it very much.

As for the last one, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Lao Zhu pondered over and over again, and finally said, "Zhu Wenzheng, come here!"

When the eldest nephew Zhu Wenzheng heard this, he didn't even know which leg he was on. He really wanted to cry, uncle, it's so interesting!

Zhu Yuanzhang took his hand and said sternly: "Listen to us, let you be this commander, nothing else, because you are the Zhu family, charging into the front, where the battle will be difficult to fight in the future, you have to stand up and ask for it. Fuck you! Do you understand?"

"Understand!"

Zhu Wenzheng stared at Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes firmly, "Please rest assured, uncle, my little nephew will not humiliate the Zhu family!"

"good!"

Old Zhu laughed happily, "If that's the case, let's advance by water and land, send the army together, and take Jinling for us!"
