In Yingtian Mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright on the dragon throne. After the battle in Luzhou, he rushed back to Jinling overnight to take charge. Although Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, Xiao Yun, Zhu Sheng and other civil and military officials still had some complaints, but this

At this moment, no one has ever cared about it.

Because of the news that the spy sent back in Wuchang this morning, Chen Youliang mobilized the whole country to send 600,000 troops and carry the Invincible Fleet. It was rumored that the captain was more than ten feet tall, painted with red paint on the outside, three layers above and below, and there were horses on each layer.

The lower floor of the shed is equipped with a boarded house, with dozens of large slaloms, and the bodies of the slaloms are wrapped in iron. Each slalom is rowed and walks like flying. People living on the upper and lower levels cannot hear each other's voices.

Each invincible fleet can carry five thousand troops, and even the smallest one can carry two thousand vehicles and horses and people, just like a small city of active activities.

After all preparations, Chen Youliang ignored the advice of Grand Secretary Zou Pusheng to take the opportunity to attack Jinling, and personally led 600,000 troops, sails like forests, battle flags like clouds, and rivers covered the sky to pounce on Hongdu.

After learning this news, the civil and military officials of Yingtian Prefecture called out "Full" in their hearts, even more trouble came. Chen Youliang sent 600,000 troops and more than 10,000 invincible fleets to Hongdu.

Everyone has great ambitions to win. Once Hongdu is occupied, this person will definitely lead his troops to capture Chizhou, Anqing, Caishi, and Taiping. It won’t take long to force his troops to attack Jinling.

Upon learning the news, Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious to discuss strategies against the enemy, including Liu Bowen, Chang Yuchun, Li Shanchang, Xiao Yun, Zhu Sheng, Deng Yu and other civil and military officials.

After everyone sat down, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said, "Chen Youliang's army is coming to Hongdu. As you see, what should we do now?"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, the political governor Li Shanchang said in a gap: "Hongdu is located in the northern Ganzhou Plain, located in the lower reaches of the Ganzhou River, connected to the Yangtze River from the Ganzhou River north through Poyang Lake. Its military status is very important. Fortunately, the city of Hongdu is solid.

It is absolutely impossible to deal with Chen Youliang because of the city?

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. Li Shanchang's words were definitely not impossible. It was just that 100,000 troops were attacking Luzhou. Although there were still 100,000 troops in Jinling City, who could guarantee that Chen Youliang would not attack Hong? Once he was promoted, he would not be able to attack the east and west.

Tens of thousands of soldiers in Jinling City were transferred from Hongdu. Once Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng attacked, what should he do to resist? "This is really a headache. Even though he thinks he is heavy and stable on weekdays, he can't help but become a little impatient at this time.

He looked around the hall and saw that Liu Bowen was silent, as if he had something to say. He hurriedly said, "What does the military advisor think about this matter?"

Liu Bowen remained silent until Zhu Yuanzhang asked, and his eyes flashed and said, "Since the battle of Longwan and Jiangzhou, Chen Youliang's morale was low. This time he came in a fierce manner and should not be underestimated. It was estimated that General Xu's military service was

The horses are outside, and Jinling City only has 100,000 troops. The troops are weak. Chen Youliang is coming to siege and will definitely attack Jinling City. Unexpectedly, this person gave up and took advantage of Jinling City, but instead attacked Hongdu City, which is a strong wall. This shows that this person is determined.

Note that if you capture Hongdu City in one fell swoop, thus conquering Jiangzhou, Anqing, Caishi, and Taiping, and attack Jinling City step by step. Can the lord fight in Longwan and defeat this person? Is it okay to fight Hongdu?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his heart moved and stared at Liu Bowen with his eyes and said, "Does the military advisor have a good idea?"

Liu Bowen narrowed his eyes, as if he was asleep, and seemed to be thinking. His face looked gloomy and sunny. No one dared to speak when everyone saw him like this.

For a moment, the hall was silent.

After a while, Liu Bowen opened his eyes and a trace of cunning light flashed by.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw it and was happy, and said to himself: "Does he have a way?"

Sure enough, after a moment, Liu Bowen's expression returned to his former calmness. He clinged to his long beard and said, "Now, the enemy's strength is great, so we can avoid its edge and defend the city. Chen Youliang's army attacked by boats and vehicles, and the troops, horses and food.

It must be insufficient. The general only needs to send a powerful general to control Hongdu City and cannot stand. Chen Youliang's army is full of power. It won't take long to retreat and counterattack Jinling... "When he said this, Liu Bowen glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and said:

"At that time, the general can take advantage of the low morale of his soldiers and fight to the Jinling in a decisive battle!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and his heart moved: "Is the decisive battle coming?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang comprehended, Liu Bowen nodded in appreciation and said, "The most urgent task at the moment is to quickly send a general to command the Hongdu army, and make this first contribution for the Duke of the People!"

Everyone nodded, and Zhu Yuanzhang began to think about it in his heart, and after a while, he said, "Who should this man be sent to this man?"

Apart from Chang Yuchun, Feng Guoyong, Feng Guosheng, Deng Yu, Xiao Yun and Guo Ying, it is unlikely that there will be a suitable candidate. However, Jinling City is more common, Chang Yuchun is brave in fighting and has good leadership.

Staying in Jinling has its own uses. Feng Guosheng and Feng Guoyong is competent, but he is good at cavalry attacks. He is not the director of the city. The only ones are Xiao Yun, Deng Yu, and Guo Ying. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes are

The three of them swept over one by one, and were about to issue an order.

Suddenly, Xiao Yun stood up, walked out of the line, clasped his fists and said, "Duke, I recommend one person. If this person guards Hongdu, there is no problem with Hongcheng City?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Who is the name of Brother Xiao, who is recommended?"

According to the historical records of later generations, in the battle of Hongdu, Zhu Wenzheng followed Zhu Yuanzhang's plan to firmly defend against Chen Youliang's army. At that time, many places of Hongdu's city walls were broken, and the defenders were fighting and building, and both sides stepped on the offense and defense.

The battle was fought with corpses, and the casualties were heavy. Zhu's army held Hongdu for 85 days, consuming a lot of Chen's vitality, and achieving the miracle of Hongdu. Therefore, he had already recognized the commander of Hongdu in his heart, and at this time he was just a favor.

Everyone was also curious, and their eyes were focused on Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun took a breath and said word by word to Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze: "The nephew of the Duke Zhu Wenzheng!"
