Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 641 Zhu Yuanzhang VS Sun Wu

Chapter 639: Zhu Yuanzhang VS Sun Wu

After arriving in Xuzhou, Sun Wu realized that he was not the only one who came up with this plan, because he also met two other groups, and they were the messengers of the Youqing Alliance and the Lianghan Alliance.

Li Shimin and Liu Bei also thought of this plan, and wanted Tao Qian to attack the rear of the Ming army in their direction, so the army they represented also sent envoys to Tao Qian, and Tao Qian became a fragrant pastry for a while.

The messenger of the Qingyou coalition was Sun Gan under Liu Bei, while the messenger of the Lianghan coalition was Yu Wenji, who was under Yang Jian.

Both of them are good debaters, but after listening to their 'performance', Sun Wu felt extremely fortunate, fortunately it was himself who came this time.

"Tao Shijun, no matter if you go south or north, how can your achievements be compared to the west expedition?"

Seeing that Tao Qian was a little moved, Yu Wenhua hit the railway while it was still hot: "Now the troops on the western front of Yanzhou are extremely empty, so that if you send troops, it will be like no one, but if you capture Chenliu, the capital of Ming Dynasty, then you will be the first to attack the Ming Dynasty. You are the only one who deserves the credit."

Tao Qian's eyes lit up, and his old cheeks were slightly moved.

Today, almost all the troops of the Ming army have been sent to the five major fronts, which also causes the total number of defenders in the cities from Xuzhou to Yanzhou to not exceed [-].

Tao Qian owns the two counties of Xiapi and Pengcheng. After fully mobilizing the power of the two counties, there is no problem in recruiting an army of [-] to [-].

There is no dangerous pass between Yanzhou and Xuzhou, so if Tao Qian really leads an army of [-] to [-] troops to the west, he may still have a great chance of defeating Chen Liu.

Chen Liu, that was the capital of Daming. Although Daming called it temporary, it was, after all, the city that served as the capital of this country.

If Tao Qian can defeat Chen Liu first, it will be a great blow to all Ming troops, and the Han army can basically declare success in attacking Ming this time, so of course it is the biggest credit of this battle.

At Tao Qian's age, he has long looked down on fame and fortune, but he is still heartbroken in the face of Fa Ming's first achievement.

Seeing this, Yu Wenhua said in his heart: "Sure."

Seeing this, Sun Gan also knew in his heart that this mission was estimated to be impossible to complete.

Even if he was Tao Qian, he would definitely choose the eastward expedition to fight for the first achievement in the battle, rather than going north or south. compared to.

After pondering for a long time, Tao Qian finally made up his mind, and at this moment Sun Wu stood up and said with a light smile: "Tao Shijun, defeating Chen Liu is indeed the first great achievement in the fight against Ming, but it is also a dead end. Think clearly before making a decision.”

Tao Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he was a little displeased: "What do you mean by this?"

"If Sun remembers correctly, from the Yellow Turban Uprising to the present, Tao Shijun has fought with him 37 times, but he has not won a single battle."

Speaking of this, Sun Wu paused for a while, and glanced at Tao Qian jokingly.

Tao Qian's old face suddenly turned red, this was the biggest stain on his resume, but Sun Wu said it directly, and he was naturally angry to the extreme.

"Shut up, I, Tao Qian, are acting, how can I allow your junior to chat."

Facing Tao Qian, who was about to be furious, Sun Wu didn't have the slightest fear, and said with a light smile: "Don't be annoyed, Mr. Sun is just stating the facts and has no other intentions.

It should be noted that Chenliu is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers and horses left behind must be elite. Even if your army is several times stronger than the Ming army, are you really sure that you will be able to capture it? "

Tao Qian was stunned when he heard the words, and the fearful memory of losing 37 games in a row came to his mind again.

Seeing this, Sun Wu smiled confidently and continued: "Da Ming will never watch the envoy attack Chenliu, and now the main force of the Ming army has been dragged on the eastern front, but some elites can be dispatched to return to defend Chenliu, such as Overlord. ride."

After hearing these three words, Tao Qian showed a horrified expression, because it was this unit that chased after Tao Qian like a dog, causing him to lose more than [-] games in a row until he could no longer afford it. Courage to fight.

"Tao Shijun, although the first feat of fighting Ming is good, you must have your life to take it!"

Tao Qian was already afraid of the fighting strength of the Ming army, but Sun Wu once again aroused the fear in his heart. At this time, he still has the courage to march east, and it is not bad to dare to insist on sending troops.

After pondering for a long time, Tao Qian sighed: "Mr. Sun is right, the West Expedition is indeed inappropriate."

Yu Wenhua was stunned when he saw this. He never imagined that Tao Qian would be so timid. He was so moved by Sun Wu's words that he wanted to give up the first feat of Faming.

Sun Qian was overjoyed, Tao Qian gave up the westward expedition, and the possibility of going north naturally increased greatly.

Tao Qian glanced at the crowd, and then said solemnly, "This old man has decided to go south to help Brother Liu Yao."

Sun Gan's eyes widened, and his heart was extremely doubtful, while Sun Wu's face was indifferent, as if he was not surprised at all.

"From the north to the south, there should be no difference to you, the envoy."

Sun Gan looked unwilling and continued to persuade: "Why don't you consider going north?"

After Tao Qian glanced at him, he did not explain, but said lightly: "No need to persuade, my opinion has been decided."

After speaking, Tao Qian turned around and left, and Sun Gan opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Sun Wu walked to his side and said with a light smile: "There are three ways to go south and go north, but Tao Shijun will not choose to go north."

"Oh? Why?" Sun Qian asked suspiciously.

Sun Wu smiled indifferently, and then explained: "Although the credit of going south is not comparable to that of the west, but at least Tao Shijun can retake the occupied Xuzhou land. And even if the northward movement can help the Qingyou coalition defeat Huang Chao, Tao Shijun can still What's the benefit?"

Sun Gan suddenly realized that the task of his trip was simply impossible to complete.

------

In the fifth year of Zhongping (188 AD), February.

The temperature in the Central Plains has just picked up, and Tao Qian, who has really been integrated, can't wait to send troops.

But what is surprising is that Tao Qian did not go west, but chose to go south.

The Ming army did not have many troops stationed in Xuzhou, but Tao Qian had [-] Xuzhou troops, and Sun Wu was also assisting.

With the help of Sun Wu, Tao Qian easily regained the three counties occupied by the Ming army in just two months.

After the unification of Xuzhou, Tao Qian may have stopped the expedition, but instead pointed his troops directly at Jianghuai, preparing to attack Zhu Yuanzhang with Liu Yao.

With Zhu Yuanzhang's strength, defending Shouchun was the limit, and there was no extra strength to fight against Tao Qian.

But once Tao Qian is allowed to capture all the cities in Jianghuai, Shouchun will become an isolated city, and it will only be a matter of time before it is captured.

The cooperation between Tao Qian and Liu Yao made Zhu Yuanzhang's situation extremely severe.
