Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

This time Zhu Han returned without any disturbance.

Every city-state and small country can't wait to sacrifice all their wealth to win the favor of Ming Dynasty.

Everyone knew that if Daming moved his finger lightly, they would perish their country.

More than 100 warships of the Ming Dynasty passed through Nanyang in a mighty manner, and then sailed back to the mainland of the Ming Dynasty.

The news quickly spread to Daming Yingtian Mansion.

Zhu Han has been away for more than half a year, and his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang has been waiting for him in a panic, lest Zhu Han encounter any accident during the voyage.

Now that he has received the news that Zhu Han has returned safely, he can't wait to go to sea to greet him in person on a warship.

But brother Zhu Yuanzhang's impulse was a little too much.

Empress Ma Xiuying immediately grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang and told him to wait in Yingtian Mansion with peace of mind.

For such an important matter, only Queen Ma Xiuying can persuade Zhu Yuanzhang.

Another month and a half of waiting.

The Ming Fleet led by Zhu Han finally returned to Yingtian Mansion.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang had already ordered that all the officials of the capital would follow him to the pier to welcome Zhu Han back.

Daming's Jinyiwei in the capital were also dispatched, and the mighty guard of honor was spread out for ten miles.

Almost half of the people in the city used the outskirts to greet and watch the excitement.

As soon as he saw Zhu Han, his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely excited.

This time Zhu Han led the Ming fleet to Nanyang, not only conquered Annan and other small countries, but also defeated the Delhi Sultanate, and opened up a business route full of wealth.

This really publicized the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty thousands of miles away.

For three consecutive days, Zhu Han was left in the palace by his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang, eating and sleeping together.

Zhu Han could tell that my brother wanted to make up for the time he was away.

Zhu Han could only complain secretly in his heart.

Although he knows how his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang misses him, he is no longer a child.

What Zhu Han wants to do most now is to go back to his palace, hug his concubines, and a large number of Slavic female slaves, and have a good time in the dark.

But Zhu Han wanted to be happy and happy, but it was not that simple.

three days later.

Old brother Zhu Yuanzhang told him a very important thing.

"Qiwu, it's time for us to deal with Chen Youliang.

Chen Youliang led the troops to Xichuan to fight the Tubo people desperately. The powerful Zhang family in Sichuan sent someone to secretly contact him, who could lead Xu Da to enter Sichuan from the north and go straight to Chengdu! "

Zhu Han was also very happy when he heard the news.

Daming's reputation of being invincible is well known to everyone, and the big and small powerhouses in Sichuan must know that Daming will win in the end.

Such a powerful Zhang family is very intelligent. If he can successfully lead the Ming army into Sichuan and destroy Chen Youliang, it will be a great contribution to wealth and honor.

"Chen Youliang not only occupied Xichuan, but also sent people to take the initiative to contact the Delhi Sultanate. It is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. It is better to kill him as soon as possible!" Zhu Han also nodded frequently.

"Haha, that's good, let's issue an imperial edict to Xu Da, let him lead the elite troops to raid Sichuan!"

Chapter 437 Chen Youliang's Green Hat
Western Sichuan Plateau.

Since the demise of the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo Dynasty, which fell in love with the Tang Dynasty, also perished, and since then the plateau has entered a period of melee.

The various tribes in Tubo fought with each other, and it was difficult for anyone to establish an effective order.

After Chen Youliang led his army to conquer several Tubo tribes, they fell into even greater trouble.

After being persecuted by Chen Youliang, an external force, the various ministries in Tubo, which were originally in civil strife, began to unite!

These Tubo tribes formed a coalition army. After spying on the reality of the Chen-Han regime, they teamed up with other Tubo tribes on the plateau to attack the Chen-Han regime, not only robbing the caravans of the Han people

And also attacked and robbed the city.

Unbearable, Chen Youliang personally led an army of [-] troops, set foot on the highlands of western Sichuan once again, and fought against the tribes of Tubo.

After a series of chasing and driving, the Tubo allied forces finally had no way to retreat and had to start a decisive battle with Chen Youliang.

And Chen Youliang's army also suffered a lot of difficulties on this cold plateau. Many soldiers had lost their combat effectiveness due to altitude sickness.

The Tubo coalition forces elected Ga Gan as their general, and fought Chen Youliang in Qingjinchuan.

Qingjinchuan is the southern tip of the Western Sichuan Plateau.It consists of two valleys.There are many snow-capped mountains on the towering peaks on the north side.

It is covered with snow all the year round, and the temperature is tens of degrees lower than the surrounding area. Fighting in this environment is the most test of the endurance and tactical ability of both sides.

Chen Youliang sent his Imperial Guards to take the lead in attacking, and he still maintained a strict formation despite the tide of the offensive.

Although Ga Gan and other Tubo generals had experienced many battles, they had no choice but to temporarily avoid the edge in the face of Chen Youliang's carefully planned formation.

However, Chen Youliang took advantage of the Tubo people's weakness and ordered the soldiers to use shields to cover the condescending shooting of the archers, inflicting heavy damage on the Tubo people.

But Chen Youliang obviously underestimated the determination of the Tubo fighters to fear death.

The Tubo people rushed and killed regardless of life and death, causing Chen Youliang to suffer heavy injuries.

Chen Youliang looked at the fallen soldiers with a gloomy expression.

As the weather gets darker, the cold gets worse.

The Tubo army has long been used to this kind of weather, but it is a great unfavorable factor for the Chen Han army.

"withdraw!"

Chen Youliang had no choice but to give the order to evacuate.

If you continue to fight, you will only become more and more dangerous.

Chen Youliang led the troops and took the initiative to retreat to the other side of Qingjinchuan.

Seeing this, Ga Gan did not choose to pursue.

He knew that if he continued to pursue him, he would be ambushed by Chen Youliang in another valley of Qingjinchuan.In that case, even if he wins, he will have to pay an extremely painful price.

Chen Youliang returned to his tent, sitting in front of the table and thinking about how to deal with this crisis.

Chen Youliang took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and thought of a solution.

Although the Tubo coalition forces were not very powerful, they had an advantage on the plateau, and the Han army's equipment advantages could not be brought into full play.

"Your Majesty, now that the Tubo coalition forces have gained the upper hand, I'm afraid they will soon be able to break through our defense line and cross Qingjinchuan." Zou Pusheng said standing in front of Chen Youliang.

If the Tubo army is allowed to break through Qingjinchuan's defense line, the affluent Sichuan Basin will be exposed to the Tubo army's sharp edge.

"What do you think I should do?" Chen Youliang asked.

Chen Youliang did not expect the Tubo people to be so difficult.

They are simply a group of uncivilized savages, the kind who don't eat hard and soft.

It doesn't work to be gentle with them, and it doesn't seem to work to use a knife with them.

At this time, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"Report Your Majesty, something is wrong." The guard ran to the door and knelt on the ground to report.

Chen Youliang frowned and said, "Tell me! What's the matter?"

"The scouts sent back news just now, saying that the Tubo coalition forces raided our army's transportation team, causing a large number of casualties in our army." The guard said eagerly.

The materials on the plateau are expensive and scarce, and once there is a problem with the food, grass and supplies, the consequence will be that the entire army will die without a fight!

"It's really courting death!"

"The whole army is ready for war." Chen Youliang shouted.

Chen Youliang knew that it was time for him to give it a go.

Soon, a large number of generals gathered in Chen Youliang's camp, waiting for Chen Youliang's order.

"All officers and men listen to the order. I will lead everyone to defeat the Tubo coalition army tonight." Chen Youliang said, pulling out the sword at his waist.

"The last general obeys the order." All the generals clasped their fists and replied.

"The whole army obeys the order. Tonight, we will divide into three groups. We will attack together on the second watch, and we will catch the Tubo bastard by surprise." Chen Youliang roared angrily.

"Yes!" All the generals agreed in unison.

Chen Youliang really didn't want to entangle with the Tubo people any longer, so he decided to take the risk of a sneak attack at night.

Under Chen Youliang's careful arrangement, the soldiers of the various armies under him are ready to fight to the death.

The Tubo army has an excellent physical advantage on the plateau, and dignified positional warfare often cannot eliminate them.

Now that the Tubo people have just grabbed the food and grass of the Han army, they will definitely relax their vigilance.

"Attack!"

Chen Youliang led the army to the southern section of Qingjinchuan in a mighty manner, preparing to fight a war of annihilation.

And the Tubo army who had just attacked Chen Youliang's convoy was happily drinking and celebrating because they had snatched a large amount of food and supplies.

The Tubo people didn't realize at all that Chen Youliang dared to lead the army to attack overnight.

Chen Youliang's plan is very ingenious.

Before retreating on the battlefield, the food and grass were looted by the Tubo army.

All of these can show the enemy's weakness and make the Tubo army relax their vigilance.

When the Tubo allied forces were full and relaxed, Chen Youliang ordered the soldiers of the Han army under his command to attack.

The Tubo coalition forces rushed to meet the enemy without the slightest preparation.

Taking advantage of the unprepared opportunity, Chen Youliang's cavalry rushed into the Tubo coalition army.

Chen Youliang personally led the charge, and the soldiers of the Han army also showed the fighting spirit to break the boat, and defeated the Tubo coalition forces in one go.

After the Tubo allied forces were defeated, the remaining personnel scattered and fled, but how could Chen Youliang give up such a big piece of fat at this time, and quickly sent a large army to pursue it.

After a bloody battle, Chen Youliang finally wiped out all the Tubo troops, harvested a lot, and seized a large amount of grain, iron and money.

Chen Youliang's cavalry also suffered losses in this battle, but the overall record is very good.

Chen Youliang led the army to chase south along Qingjinchuan, beheading all the remnants of Tubo.

At this time, Chen Youliang had already led the army into the northern Yunnan mountainous area in northern Yunnan.

Chen Youliang, who had just won a big victory against Tubo, had not had time to be happy for a day or two, when he received a piece of news that made him extremely annoyed.

Three months ago, Zhu Han led the Ming army to defeat the Delhi Sultanate by sea. Not only did the Delhi Sultanate renege on its alliance with Chen Youliang, but it also killed Princess Alina of the Delhi Sultanate.

Chen Youliang only felt a faint green light appearing above his head.

He had already heard that Princess Alina of the Delhi Sultanate was twenty-eight years old, and she looked like a fish and a wild goose, and she was ashamed of herself.

Chen Youliang even built a brand new palace in Chengdu in order to marry Princess Alina, and used it as his future queen's bedroom.

But he never thought of it.

Princess Alina, who was supposed to be the queen of the Han Dynasty, became a prisoner of the Ming army.

Chen Youliang has heard about Zhu Han's behavior for a long time, and knows that he is definitely not a hypocrite who can sit still. If he really sees a beauty like Princess Alina, he will definitely not let it go.

For Chen Youliang, this is simply revenge for taking his wife.

"Zhu Han, I'm going to tear you to pieces!" Chen Youliang roared angrily.

Chen Youliang roared, and at the same time ordered to mobilize all his soldiers and horses to attack the Ming army eastward.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Zou Pusheng immediately dissuaded.

"Calm down? How do you ask me to calm down? Princess Alina is my fiancée! She is my queen, and she was captured by Zhu Han's dog thief. This is a great shame." Chen Youliang roared angrily.

"Your Majesty, we can't be messed up! We have just fought against Tubo, and our soldiers and horses have lost a lot of food and grass. We can't go to war easily anymore." Zou Pusheng said anxiously.

After hearing the words, Chen Youliang slowly regained his senses,

He sighed.

Chen Youliang knew that he was really not suitable to confront the Ming army head-on now, and now Chen Han was the exhausted army, if he rashly sent troops, he might be defeated.

Chen Youliang could only temporarily order his soldiers and horses to rest in Yunnan, and return to Chengdu after recovering, trying to find a way to take revenge on the Ming army.

However, Chen Youliang, who had just defeated the Tubo army, did not know that the Sichuan defense line that he thought was impenetrable had actually had a huge loophole from the inside.

No matter how strong a fortress is, it can be breached from within.

Chen Youliang, who was far away in Yunnan, didn't know this situation, and still led his army to patrol Dali, Kunming and other places according to the plan.

Sichuan, Guanghan North.

Among the rolling mountains, a winding mountain road leads directly from the deep forest to the open plain.

Thousands of soldiers held their weapons high and walked along the mountain road to the plain.

There are about tens of thousands of people in this army, all of whom are lightly armed, without any other heavy equipment except swords and muskets.

Even the common carts and horses for transporting grain and grass were not seen.

"Xu Shuai, we've already arrived in Guanghan, if we go any further, we should be haunted by bandits Chen."

A middle-aged man in military uniform said to Xu Da in a very humble tone.

"This time you were able to go through the mountains and forests and raid Guanghan, and you, the Zhang family, have made great contributions."

Xu Da said with a half-smile.

"Marshal, our Zhang family has always had Daming in mind, and now that the traitor Chen is occupying Chengdu, it is natural to help Master Daming to bring down the traitor."

The middle-aged man who led the way was a guide sent by the Zhang family, a wealthy family in Sichuan.

The Ming army was able to enter the hinterland of Sichuan so easily, thanks to the intelligence of the Zhang family.

Xu Da led [-] elite soldiers all the way into Guanghan, all of whom were sent by the Zhang family to lead the way.

"How far is it from here to Guanghan?" Xu Da asked.

Guanghan serves as a barrier to the northeast of Chengdu. As long as Guanghan City is captured, it can directly threaten Chengdu, which is close by.

"About 150 miles."

"150 miles?"

When Xu Da heard the distance, he basically had a reliable idea in his mind.

Now, Emperor Chen Youliang of the Chen Han Dynasty personally led troops to fight against the Tibetans in Xichuan and northern Yunnan, and the whole of Chengdu was empty.

Unbeknownst to Chen Youliang, many defenders on the border had already been led by the Zhang family to secretly surrender to the Ming army.

As long as Xu Dan can lead his army to capture Guanghan, the powerful families around Chengdu will definitely surrender.

Now everyone knows that Master Daming is invincible!
"Commander, we only have enough food for one day, what should we do?"

A general ran over and said to Xu Da.

"One day's food and grass is enough!" Xu Da looked confident.

In order to cross the rolling mountains as soon as possible, Xu Da had ordered to abandon too much luggage before setting off, including a lot of food and grass.
