Zhu Yuanzhang also discovered that there are many things that after discussing with others and listening to someone else's words, he can develop his own ideas.
Sometimes, Zhu Yuanzhang made very correct decisions because of an inspiration given to him by others. Zhu Yuanzhang will never forget such things.
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang will make full use of his wisdom and the power that Zhu Yuanzhang now has to do this thing cleanly and neatly.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he could attack these two places, Dingyuan and Chuzhou, in two waves.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang finally felt that this time he wanted to capture Dingyuan and Chuzhou in one go.
First concentrate his forces to capture Dingyuan, and then Zhu Yuanzhang will command Chuzhou again!
These are just ideas in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind now, and they are not yet fully mature.
It still needs discussion and confirmation from some of the following intelligence before Zhu Yuanzhang can finally make up his mind!
"Brother, I think we can slowly approach Dingyuan City first, and then launch a sudden charge at night. In this way, we can minimize the casualties of our army. If our first attack does not go well, we can quickly retreat, and then If we carry out the second attack, we will give them a bad rest anyway!"
Xu Da thought for a while and then made his own suggestion.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he felt that Xu Da's idea was quite acceptable and should be a method that could be adopted.
However, if the attack of his rebel brothers is blocked, will it affect the morale here? This is something Zhu Yuanzhang needs to consider clearly.
At this time, Tang He said, "Brother, don't you know, Zhang Long and his two brothers are still very familiar with Dingyuan City, because their family is here, you call them over, and we will ask them carefully! "
After listening to Tang He's words, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that what Tang He said was very reasonable, so he immediately sent an order to Zhang Long to come over.
Zhang Long was also one of the more than twenty generals led by Zhu Yuanzhang last time.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang also had an impression of Zhang Long and his brothers, he was not very impressed. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang and them had never fought together, so he could only say this, so they were not very familiar with them.
If Zhang Long and the others can make a contribution in this war this time, then Zhu Yuanzhang will have a very deep impression on them, and they will not be so strange.
Zhu Yuanzhang is still thinking about one thing in his mind. If Brother Zhang Long and the others really do this well, then he will entrust Brother Zhang with important responsibilities.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang still remembers some major events that happened later very clearly.
However, he only remembered the handsome generals Xu Da, Tang He, Hu Dahai, and Mu Ying very clearly.
He basically has very few memories of other things like the Zhang Long brothers.
Moreover, Zhu Jianhua had a fellow villager named Zhang Long at that time, so Zhu Yuanzhang was very familiar with this name, but he didn't know what kind of person this person was.
Although he also talked with Zhang Long privately, he also asked Zhang Long to call him Shangshang.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang always felt that he was a little unable to grasp Zhang Long's character.
how to say? In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Zhang Long was a bit taciturn. Many times, he would not say anything unless you asked him.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Zhang Long was still capable of doing things, so Zhu Yuanzhang took him to Hangzhou City to work hard with him.
After listening to what he said, Zhu Yuanzhang decided that if there was a chance in the future, he would spend more time with Zhang Long. In this way, he could understand Zhang Long better in the future.
After Zhang Long arrived, "Greetings to the superior!"
Regarding this point, Zhang Long is still very disciplined.
Maybe it's because the fellow Zhu Yuanzhang in later generations was also named Zhang Long, so Zhu Yuanzhang still has fresh memories of this Zhang Long.
The reason why he took Zhang Long out of Haozhou City was also related to this point, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not explain this at the time!
Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he could chat more with Zhang Long in the future and see what were the differences between people of their time and those of future generations.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhang Long about the situation of Dingyuan City.
Especially the situation of the defenders and important generals of Dingyuan City.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang had such an intelligence team to investigate for him, to be honest, there were some places and things that he could not investigate. After all, some of the information that his intelligence personnel could obtain was also very limited.
After listening to Zhang Long's words this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was also deeply inspired.
These situations were mutually verified and compared with the situations he knew, so Zhu Yuanzhang finally had a relatively reasonable plan.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's so-called relatively reasonable plan is a perfect plan to others.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's siege plan was really great. Zhu Yuanzhang considered a lot of things today. Then, Zhu Yuanzhang considered one thing in all his plans, which is the so-called thinking of defeat before thinking about victory.
Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about how he would retreat if he failed, because this time was different from before. In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang did not command so many rebel soldiers. This time he had 30,000 troops, which were elite soldiers and strong generals!
But Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that commanding 3,000 soldiers and commanding 30,000 soldiers have different tactics and strategies, so Zhu Yuanzhang must think carefully.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely divide his troops and attack Dingyuan City.
For example, if Dingyuan City has four gates, he can send Xu Da to attack the east gate, Tang He to attack the west gate, Zhang Long to attack the south gate, and Hu Dahai to attack the north gate.
The reason why Zhang Long was dispatched was because Zhang Long provided him with this very important information.
This is a reward for Zhang Long. At the same time, this opportunity can also exercise Zhang Long's ability to lead troops in war.
That's the way it is, only by going through the test of blood and fire on the battlefield can you truly become a general!
Zhu Yuanzhang decided that he would pay more attention to Zhang Long in the future. Only in this way can Zhang Long grow more and become an important handsome man. .
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this was something he could change. For example, Zhang Long seemed to have died during the war, because none of the heroes named by Zhu Yuanzhang later seemed to have this name.
However, these are things for the future. Now Zhu Yuanzhang must make full preparations. The battle against Dingyuan will begin soon.
