"No, we underestimated Zuo Xianmei earlier!"
Zhu Yuanzhang read Huang Wushan's letter again, shook his head and said: "Li Ruolian has no chance of winning in Shaanxi. Even if Zuo Liangyu doesn't understand us, he will make a wrong judgment."
"But Zuo Xianmei has fought against us, and with his intelligence, it is impossible not to see this, and he will never let Zuo Liangyu confuse us with this!"
It turned out that due to the sudden incident and Zhu Yuanzhang's preconception, seeing that Zuo Xianmei had been captured for several days, he thought that Zuo Xianmei was trying to mislead him, making him think that Zuo Liangyu sent troops because the situation in Shaanxi had improved, and deliberately attacked him. Show goodwill to avoid being accused by him.
In fact, it was probably because Li Ruolian and others were about to be defeated that Zuo Liangyu hurriedly sent troops to avoid being attacked by the rebels in the future.
At the same time, he also wanted to use this to confuse him so that he would no longer send more troops to Shaanxi. When Li Ruolian and others died in the battle, his strength would be greatly reduced.
After all, a thousand troops are easy to obtain, but a general is difficult to find.
It was precisely because of this consideration that he asked Wang Fuchen to go to Shaanxi.
But when he read the letter just now, he thought about it carefully and discovered the problem, and he couldn't help but frown.
"What is Zuo Xianmei's purpose in playing this game?"
Zhu Yuanzhang held Huang Wushan's letter and murmured to himself: "Do you want us to feel guilty and help her break off the engagement?"
With this thought, he shook his head slightly.
Because Zuo Liangyu has lost the support of wealthy households in Shanxi and is in urgent need of Zhu Yousong's money to stabilize the situation. If Zuo Xianmei's purpose is this, she will definitely turn against Zuo Liangyu.
From Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of Zuo Xianmei, he knew that although Zuo Xianmei appeared to be gentle and gentle, he was actually very ambitious, otherwise he would not have been able to stir up trouble everywhere.
The reason why Zuo Xianmei was able to do all this was not only because of her intelligence, but also because of the strong backing of Zuo Liangyu.
With Zuo Xianmei's intelligence, it was impossible not to understand this, so Zhu Yuanzhang thought that the other party's purpose was not here.
"But if that's not the case, what is Zuo Xianmei's purpose?"
"Is this because she wants to distance herself from Zuo Liangyu so that she can rescue him if Zuo Liangyu is in trouble?"
"It's just that although Zuo Liangyu had rebelled before, he didn't leave any clues. Moreover, he has a large number of troops, and now he is actively suppressing the rebellion. It is impossible for us to attack him at this time..."
"Is it possible that Zuo Liangyu is doing all this just to confuse us? In fact, he is conspiring with Lu Jiude and others to deal with us?"
"Even if Li Ruolian and others died in the battle, the Jurchens have retreated, and the soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan and Datong..."
As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he suddenly walked quickly to the marching map and gestured for a while, then nodded and said: "Yes, he wants us to transfer the elites from Datong!"
"After all, Shaanxi's defeat has been decided. Even if we invest tens of thousands more troops, we still can't reverse the defeat. Once Datong loses its elite, Zuo Liangyu will no longer be a threat."
"As for Shanhaiguan, I have too much time to take care of myself, and I have lost Guan Ning's cavalry. Zuo Liangyu will not take it seriously."
"At that time, he only needs to avoid Li Thief's sharp edge, wait for him to kill us, and then push Zhu Yousong to the throne under the banner of revenge for us, then Zuo Xianmei will naturally become the Queen!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, a strong murderous intention suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He was about to call someone immediately to convey the order to stop Wang Fuchen from entering Shaanxi, and at the same time asked Chen Mingyu to step up his guard, but he suddenly thought that both Li Guo and Liu Fangliang had been defeated, and Li Zicheng might not come even if he won.
Furthermore, Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie are competing for Zhu Changxun's treasure in Henan. Li Zicheng previously relied on collecting stolen goods to support the army. Now that there are successive wars, the army's salary is also very scarce, so he may go to Henan to seize the treasure.
But judging from the distribution of Zuo Liangyu's troops, he seemed to be unprepared for this.
"Does Li Ruolian and the others still have a chance of winning?"
Zhu Yuanzhang just had this idea and immediately denied it.
Because the strength of the two sides was so disparity and it was an away game, Li Ruolian and others had almost no chance of winning.
After some analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang found that he was back again. He shook his head helplessly and sighed:
"Well, the current situation is unclear, so we can only resort to tactics. Fortunately, the Jurchens..."
As he spoke, he suddenly stopped and quickly drew on the marching map with his fingers, and then showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
It turned out that when he was talking about the Jurchens just now, he suddenly thought that Zuo Liangyu and Wang Shizhong were related, and Wang Shizhong was the second son of Meng Gebulu, the chief of the Hada tribe of the Haixi Jurchens.
In Wanli 247, Nurhaci captured Hada City, and Wang Shizhong and his father and brother were captured. Nurhachi later released them under pressure from the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Shizhong was brought into the Ming Dynasty by his family and was raised in the palace by Zhu Yijun (Ming Shenzong).
Later, with the rise of the Jurchens, the Ming Dynasty used his marriage relationship with Lin Dan Khan (Wang Shizhong’s sister married Chahar Lin Dan Khan) to make friends with the Chahar tribe while secretly instigating rebellion against the Jurchen tribe in Haixi in order to weaken Jurchen's strength.
Wang Shizhong was promoted repeatedly as a result, and was once appointed as the commander-in-chief of Fuyi.
Later, due to the failure of the divorce and Wang Shizhong's corruption, he was dismissed from office and imprisoned by Chongzhen.
Although Wang Shizhong was used again after Chongzhen, he was not used as highly as before.
But Wang Shizhong took this opportunity to make acquaintance with Zuo Liangyu and became his children's in-laws.
Zhu Yuanzhang had previously been suspicious of Jierhalang's truce and not retreating. Now that he understood this, he suspected that Zuo Liangyu wanted to use the hands of the Jurchens to eradicate him.
He stared at the march map for a long time and said to himself: "If this is the case, Wang Fuchen does not need to move back again, but where should he mobilize his troops to make up for the lack of Datong troops?"
As he spoke, he drew on the marching map for a while. Finally, his fingers returned to Shen Zhanran's garrison, and he nodded: "Now, only the troops here are available, but once these thousands of cavalry are transferred to Datong, in case something happens, If there are changes in the capital, we can only passively defend..."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a long time and finally decided to mobilize troops from Shen Zhanran.
Then he wrote another letter to Zuo Liangyu, saying that Zuo Xianmei had no intention of being with Zhu Yousong, asking the other party to stop forcing Zuo Xianmei, and said that he would grant Zhu Yousong a marriage to solve Zuo Liangyu's predicament.
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished handling these matters, he took up writing to review the memorial again.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a sound of fighting outside the house, and then I heard someone shouting "Escort me."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help being shocked.
You must know that in order to hide his whereabouts, he had set up three camps in Gu'an County, and this place was three places away. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the other party.
"It seems like Jin Yiwei really needs to straighten things up!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head with some dissatisfaction. When he was about to continue reviewing the memorials, he suddenly heard a scream at the door, and then saw a figure breaking in through the door.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he was about to meet the enemy, but the man fell down with a thud.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised, he suddenly heard a delicate cold snort coming from outside.
