Chapter five hundred and sixty-four famous generals defected
"The lord, Zhuge Liang, Li Ji, Ge Congzhou, and three lords have conquered Lixia, conquered the sixteen cities of Qi State, and surrounded the capital of Qi Linzi."
"In the battle at the end of the Lixia, more than ten people including the Ming army general Qin Liangyu, Qi army general Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, Gu Yezi, etc. Among them, the Ming army general Qin Liangyu was unwilling to surrender, and the three powerful men of Qi, Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi, after lobbying, all surrendered."
"Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin fought in the Lu County area, and they had a victory or defeat."
"The 100,000 Lu troops in the Lu State's headquarters city have not made any movement so far."
"The Jinyiwei came to report that the governor of Linzi, Qi capital, was Sima Rangju, and... Mengchangjun Tian Wen."
After Zhang Hua pacified the Northern Prefecture Army in Yubi City, he continued to stay Xie Xuan to guard Hedong, and then withdrew his troops to return to Chang'an City. On the way, the Xia army on the east side successively received good news.
Zhuge Liang, Li Ji and Ge Congzhou's three legions defeated the famous general of Qi in the Lixia area, Sima Rangju, beheaded, captured tens of thousands of Qi troops, collected sixteen cities and towns of Qi, and obtained a population of one million.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Xia army on the east road will surely win and can capture Linzi, the main city of Qi.
The defenders of Linzi were the military strategist Sima Rangju, and Mengchangjun Tian Wen.
Mengchangjun Tianwen had thousands of diners. Among these guests, there were guests of the princes, prisoners, and even robbers who cried and thieves, all the poor and noble.
Mengchangjun's appeal was amazing. According to the news sent back by the Jinyiwei who had been infiltrated into Linzi, tens of thousands of local heroes called on Mengchangjun to participate in defending the city, and Mengchangjun's disciples also reached an astonishing eight thousand.
The fourth prince of the Warring States Period was the strongest commander of the Xinlingjun of the Wei State.
Mengchangjun's command ability is not as good as Xinlingjun, but Mengchangjun does not intend to command the three armies. The real commander of the city should be the military corps Sima Rangju, and Mengchangjun is just the deputy general.
Sima Rangju's ability to lead troops and Mengchangjun's appeal, the entire Linzi city is full of soldiers. In fact, Linzi City is not that easy to attack.
After the three heroes of Qi State, Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi were captured, Zhuge Liang used the allusion of "two peaches to kill three soldiers" to persuade them to surrender.
Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang and Gu Yezi were fooled by Zhuge Liang and Li Ji, and he quickly surrendered.
As for the Ming army general Qin Liangyu, it is difficult to surrender.
Qin Liangyu was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. It was completely contrary to the rebellious ministers such as Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui, and Hong Chengchou. It was very difficult to surrender Qin Liangyu.
Now, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian recruited a group of famous generals, but Zhu Youjian had limited ability and still failed to defeat Nurhaci.
Nurhaci was killed by Zhang Hua in the war.
After all, the Ming Dynasty was one of the most powerful dynasties, with many famous generals, and Zhang Hua's power also had many civil and military officials from the Ming Dynasty, such as Wang Shouren, Yu Qian, Zhang Huangyan, Zhu Ji, Deng Zilong...
In this world, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty still established a lot of power. Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di, and Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian all established power, but their territories were far apart and they were all in power.
"Let Zhuge Liang, Li Ji and others adapt to the situation and continue to attack Qi."
"Let Chai Rong be careful of fighting with Zhao Kuangyin. I will send a soldier to help Chai Rong and defeat Zhao Kuangyin."
Zhang Hua knew that Chai Rong was short of troops and could not defeat Zhao Kuangyin and compete for the State of Lu.
As early as Zhuge Liang's expedition in the east, Zhang Hua had ordered Xuchang, Bianzhou, Songzhou and other cities to recruit soldiers, help Chai Rong defeat Zhao Kuangyin, and to replenish the lost troops for Zhuge Liang.
Otherwise, just Chai Rong's troops would not be able to suppress Zhao Kuangyin.
Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin fight each other, and the two of them have little difference in military use.
Chai Rong had military generals such as Cao Bin, Cao Wei, Zhang Yongde, Wang Quanbin, Fu Yanqing, and Zhao Kuangyin had military generals such as Zhao Guangyi, Pan Mei, Murong Yanzhao, Shi Shouxin... These military generals were almost in the same era and knew each other's background, so it was difficult to distinguish.
"Zhu Youjian also has a famous general Li Wenzhong of the Ming Dynasty... In Yanyun, there are also many generals of the Ming Dynasty under the command of Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty... As for Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang, it is even stronger than Zhu Youjian and Zhu Di's forces combined..."
Zhang Hua thought about it carefully. The number of Ming Dynasty generals with his own power was not enough, and most of the Ming Dynasty generals still defected to Ming Dynasty emperors such as Zhu Youjian, Zhu Di, and Zhu Yuanzhang.
Of course, there were a few military generals who betrayed the Ming Dynasty and defected to Nurhaci, Huang Taiji and others.
Zhu Youjian was in Shandong, Zhu Di was in Youzhou, and as for Zhu Yuanzhang...
Zhang Hua doesn’t have to worry about Zhu Yuanzhang’s threat for the time being, and Zhu Yuanzhang also has his own powerful enemy.
After Zhang Hua made arrangements for the land of Guandong, he still operated with Guanzhong as the center, intending to plan for the Qin State in Xiliang.
Xiliang, occupied by Qin, is located in the transition zone of the second and third steps of the terrain. It is condescending and threatens the flat Guanzhong.
If Qin is not defeated as soon as possible, then Zhang Hua will not be able to focus on Guandong.
Because Bai Qi no longer serves Qin, the number one general of Qin became the veteran Wang Jian, which made the difficulty of attacking Qin a little less.
Zhang Hua's Imperial Guard crossed the Yellow River and encountered wind and snow, and was frozen for thousands of miles. Zhang Hua temporarily rested in a village.
The Huwei Camp, the camp, dragged several elite troops from Luohe, patrolled around the village, guarding Zhang Hua's safety and being very prepared.
Although Flying Tiger General Li Cunxiao retreated to Jinzhou and was summoned to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun by Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, no one can say whether Li Cunxiao would kill one of them and assassinate Zhang Hua.
When the mountain was covered by wind and snow, Zhang Hua was not idle either. He summoned Wang Shouren, Chen Qingzhi, Deng Ai, Song Xiance, Jing Xiang and others to discuss the general trend of the world.
"The forces of Li Shimin and Liu Xiu are equally strong. Both of them and their generals are equally matched, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is expected that within a year and a half, it will be difficult for the two to decide the outcome."
"Before Li Shimin and Liu Xiu decide the victory or defeat, we must pacify Qin as soon as possible."
"Fan Zeng, Pengcheng and Sima Yi of Runan, must also be pacified as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Fan Zeng and Sima Yi are both scheming and calculating, and most strategists will be plotted by them."
"After Zhuge Liang pacified the countries in Shandong, he sent troops to pacify Qin on the western front, and sent troops to pacify Fan Zeng on the eastern front, and Sima Yi..."
Just as Zhang Hua and Wang Shouren, Chen Qingzhi, Song Xiance and others discussed fighting on both sides to kill the hidden dangers as soon as possible, a burst of weapons suddenly came from outside the village.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Hua took Wang Shouren and others out of the hut, while generals such as Sun Shangxiang, Yang Miaozhen, and Lu Lingqi were tense, worried that someone would not be good for Zhang Hua.
At this time, the sound of weapons colliding, which inevitably makes people full of weapons.
A Tiger Guard came to report: "There is a warrior outside the village who injured dozens of us and wanted to ask to see the lord."
Sun Shangxiang said: "Your husband must be careful, the other party may be an assassin."
"I have your guards. There are thousands of soldiers and horses in this village, and hundreds of thousands of troops around. Even if the other party is an assassin, why fear it?"
Zhang Hua has all added some force, his own force exceeds 90, and his guards are strict. Even if he is attacked by Li Cunxiao again, Zhang Hua will not be as embarrassed as last time.
Outside the village, a general tried to get close to the village, but was stopped by Xu Chu and led the Tiger Guards. He clashed with the Tiger Guards and even alarmed Zhang Hua.
Dozens of Tiger Guards fell on the snow, complaining endlessly, obviously defeated by this strange general.
Xu Chu glared at this person angrily, and before he took action, he sent someone to report to Zhang Hua as soon as possible.
If Xu Chu took action, this person might not have dared to be so arrogant.
The strange generals saw Zhang Hua and his group coming out, like stars surround the moon, and knew that the other party must be King Xia.
"What a fierce murderous intent."
Zhang Hua could detect the other party's arrogant murderous aura from a long distance.
There is no doubt that this is a long-standing military general.
"Who are you?"
