As soon as Song Zhengben said this, Dou Jiande's brows jumped slightly, as if he had some intention.
Kong Desshao was very anxious when he saw this, and hurriedly retorted to Song Zhengben: "Mr. Song, Luo Yi has been in Youzhou for many years and has abundant troops and food. We have fought against him many times and have not gained any advantage. What's more, Zhao Kuangyin is now strong in Bingzhou. With a pout, we are also eyeing Youzhou. If we attack Youzhou forcefully, we may become Zhao Kuangyin's wedding dress. Unless Mr. Song has some good plan to quickly eliminate Luo Yi."
Before Song Zhengben spoke, Dou Jiande had already waved his hand and said: "Luo Yi is an experienced soldier, and Youzhou is the frontier against the Hulu. Zhuo County, Ji County, and Beiping County are mostly fortified cities. Once a war starts, it will be a protracted and difficult battle." , there is absolutely no possibility of quick victory.”
Dou Jiande immediately turned his attention to a general who was standing in the crowd and bowed his head silently, and said loudly: "Zhu Yuanzhang, what do you think?"
When everyone heard Dou Jiande's shouting, they quickly turned their attention to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was named.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was ugly, his face was covered with pockmarks. But no one dared to underestimate this ugly man. Although this man had only been under Dou Jiande for four months, his military exploits put even Wang Fubao, who was known as the number one general under Dou Jiande, to shame.
Three months ago, in Weizhou, he defeated the remnants of more than 20,000 Xiaoguo troops led by Yu Wenhuaji with only 10,000 elite soldiers, and beheaded Yu Wenhuaji with his own hands.
Two months ago, he used a strange plan to capture Anyang City, the largest city in Hebei, for Dou Jiande, allowing Dou Jiande to occupy the entire Wei County.
It was precisely with a series of achievements that Zhu Yuanzhang rose to the rank of general in just four months.
Hearing Dou Jiande calling his name, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly raised his head, with a cold light in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the last general thought that King Xia should send troops to the Central Plains, but it was definitely not to save Li Mi, but to attack on a false road. Guo, in the name of rescuing Li Mi, occupied the Central Plains."
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, the whole hall was in an uproar. Kong Desao loudly accused: "Zhu Yuanzhang, what do you mean? You actually instigated the king to betray his trust. You are trying to trap the king into injustice!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Kong Desao with disdain and said, "The princes are fighting for hegemony, and the strong are respected. What kind of ethics are there in the world? Do you think that if Li Mi wins the world in the future, he will let the king rule in Hebei?"
"Yes! What General Zhu said is very reasonable!"
Ling Jing, Dou Jiande's chief adviser who had been silent all the time, said loudly: "Youzhou is in trouble right now. If I, Daxia, want to strengthen my own strength, the only development direction is the Central Plains. What's more, Li Mi is sinister and vicious, and even Zhai Rang died there. In his hands. God knows if he will cross the river and burn the bridge after we send troops to help him relieve the siege?"
"Your Majesty, the last general (minor minister) also supports General Zhu Yuanzhang's suggestion."
Generals Wang Fubao, Cao Dan, Liu Heitai, and counselors Song Zhengben and Qi Yuanrang expressed their support. Kong Desao was unable to support himself and retreated silently.
Seeing that the generals in the hall had almost reached an agreement, Dou Jiande nodded and said, stroking his beard: "What you all want coincides with Gu. However, the Sui army in the Central Plains is now strong. The combined strength of Yang Gao and Wang Shichong is probably less than thirty." More than 10,000, I wonder if you have any clever ideas?”
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the last general has a plan, which may help your Majesty to quickly capture the Central Plains."
Dou Jiande was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "If General Zhu has any clever plan, please tell me quickly."
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Your Majesty, at present Wang Shichong's main force is in the Central Plains, and Luoyang is empty. Your Majesty can lead the main force to Jinyong to assist Li Mi, while the last general will lead a group of elite soldiers to secretly attack Luoyang. After Luoyang is obtained, the last general will divide his troops to kill. Yingchuan County made a gesture of marching into Jingxiang. Jingxiang is the foundation of Yang Gao's foundation. Once Jingxiang fails, Yang Gao will undoubtedly retreat."
Dou Jiande was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Okay, it is God's blessing that Gu can get the assistance of General Zhu. I will give you 30,000 elite soldiers. In addition, I will also give you Xiong Kuohai, my personal bodyguard. I hope you will win it." Luoyang."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and glanced at the majestic sea behind Dou Jiande. He was overjoyed and said, "With the help of brave men like General Xiong, I, Daxia, will surely win a complete victory in this battle!"
Dou Jiande chuckled, "That guy is waiting for General Zhu's success in Jinyong City!"
After a pause, Dou Jiande stood up in awe, pulled out the sword placed next to the throne, and loudly ordered: "In this battle, the lone general personally led 150,000 elite troops, claiming to have 400,000, to kill in the Central Plains. Wang Fubao, Ling Jing, and Song Zhengben , Fan Yuan, Cao Dan, and Gao Yaxian set out with the army. In this battle, we must turn the Central Plains into our Daxia territory."
Everyone in the hall knelt down and said loudly: "I must swear allegiance to the king to the death. Daxia will win, Daxia will win!"
. . . . . . . . . .
Just when Dou Jiande decided to send troops to the Central Plains, Jia Runfu also rushed to Qi County and asked to see Song Jiang.
Song Jiang's implanted identity is that of a petty official in Qi County. Because his family has a small amount of money, he likes to make friends with some heroes in the world and help them with some money, and he has gained a reputation in the world.
However, there are always a few people in the world who will get involved with the grass bandits who dominate the mountains or the imperial prisoners who live in the world.
Song Jiang unintentionally funded a criminal gangster who was wanted for many years. Later, when the incident happened, Song Jiang got into a lawsuit and was required to be beheaded in public.
Song Jiang was also an ambitious man, so naturally he was not willing to die like this. He immediately joined forces with his friends Wu Yong, Li Kui, and Wang Ying to return to Qi County and occupy the mountain as king.
In troubled times, bandits and corrupt officials are rampant in Qingzhou, and the people are forced to make ends meet and become bandits. And Song Jiang was quite capable of winning people's hearts. He used the name of "walking justice for heaven" to win over people's hearts, and his team grew stronger and stronger. Song Jiang's former friends Dong Ping, Chao Gai, Liu Tang, Zhu Tong, and Ruan Xiaoqi also joined Song Jiang one after another.
Chao Gai, Dong Ping and Zhu Tong were extremely skilled in martial arts and were almost invincible in defeating Qingzhou. With the support of these fierce generals, Song Jiang became more and more courageous. The actions of his insurgents ranged from robbing homes and houses, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, to later conquering cities and territories, occupying government offices, and dominating one area.
Meng Jiigong, Xu Yuanlang, Gao Tansheng and other separatist forces in Qingzhou were defeated by Song Jiang and merged under Song Jiang's command.
The current situation of Song Jiang's army is much better than in history. Neither the Tang Dynasty nor the Sui Dynasty could directly send troops to garrison Qingzhou. So Song Jiang's ambition began to expand crazily, and after wiping out the heroes of Qingzhou, he called himself King of Liang.
After Jia Runfu arrived at Qi County, he sent a greeting card to Song Jiang. The next day, Song Jiang met with Jia Runfu.
Jia Runfu paid a visit to Song Jiang and expressed his intention to come. He begged Song Jiang in tears: "His Royal Highness, King Liang, we are all rebels against the Sui Dynasty. We hope that King Liang will save Wagang for the sake of this incense."
