Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that the problem could be solved by letting Zhu Di explain it. He just asked Zhu Di to find a way to hold down Liu Xiu and prevent Liu Xiu from escaping.
Soon, Liu Xiu had received the news that Zhu Yuanzhang's navy had blocked Liu Xiu's return route, and even Zhu Yuanzhang's three thousand battalions were vaguely surrounding them.
Liu Xiu knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was threatening him. If this battle really caused him to lose his rightful status and ruined his reputation, then Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't mind doing something more thorough and directly deal with Liu Xiu here, and then temporarily give up on Xiang Yu and go back to get the vitality that was seriously injured. Jingbei.
Faced with the threat, although Liu Xiu wanted to be tough, he couldn't!
Liu Xiu secretly helped Fan Zeng for the sake of his future. But if he doesn't bow his head now and helps Fan Zeng, he will be the one who gets screwed. If his present is gone, how can he talk about the future!
A real man can stretch and bend, but why is he not as strong as his opponent at this moment?
Therefore, Liu Xiu immediately consulted with Zhu Di on the friendly relations between Jing and Yang, and made a public statement to reprimand Xiang for using such a despicable strategy.
As a result, Fan Zeng's plan was suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang, at least on the surface.
Fan Zeng made a move, and then it was Yao Guangxiao's turn. Yao Guangxiao said that he had to return the favor.
So, next, Yao Guangxiao secretly ordered the Jinyi Guards to contact the people of the Jiaozhou scholar family. After a period of time, the news that the Jiaozhou scholar family had evil intentions and was plotting chaos was spread wantonly by Jin Yiwei.
Shijia, this was a local emperor in Jiaozhou, and the influence of Shijia in Jiaozhou spread to all aspects. As a result, the Xiang family still needed to reuse the Shi family after taking Jiaozhou.
In recent years, Xiang Bo and Yang Youji have been stationed in Jiaozhou all year round. On the one hand, they naturally want to suppress Shanyue, but they also have the intention of watching over the Shi family here.
The news that the Shi family intends to rebel spread widely, and then the Shi family must be panicked. If the Xiang family does not handle it well, the lie may become true.
What's more, if the Xiang family investigates carefully, they are very likely to find some clues about the contact between the Shi family and Jin Yiwei. By then, the opportunity has come to force the rebels to rebel.
With Zhu Yuanzhang and other formidable enemies outside, both Fan Zeng and Sun Shuao knew that they must not allow any further internal chaos at this time.
Therefore, Sun Shuao personally went to Jiaozhou to take charge, and adopted a series of methods of differentiation and co-optation, not only to stabilize the scholar's family, but also to prevent them from making rash moves.
Although Fan Zeng and Sun Shuao moved quickly, there would always be some turmoil. Moreover, after this incident, there will inevitably be an almost irreparable rift between the Xiang family and the Shi family.
Next, Zhu Yuanzhang's land and water armies launched a fierce attack again. The two princes, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xiang Yu, fought for more than a year. More than a year later, due to another reason such as chaos in Shanyue, the war gradually subsided.
In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang took over the part of Jiangxia County south of the Yangtze River, the entire Changsha County, and more than half of Lingling County.
As for Wuling County, Guiyang County and the remaining half of Lingling County, they are still under Xiang Yu's control.
Although Fan Zeng gave up half of Wuling County to Liu Xiu in vain before, he only kept it in the opponent's hands for a while. Now Jingbei does not have the energy to defend such a territory anymore.
Therefore, when the war was almost over, Liu Xiu himself took the initiative to retreat, and the place fell under Xiang Yu's control again.
It can be said that Liu Xiu and Xiang Yu were the losers in several battles launched successively among the princes in the south, and only Zhu Yuanzhang became the final winner.
In this war that lasted for more than a year, the generals of both sides also suffered injuries.
On Xiang Yu's side, there were generals such as Wu Dang, Zeng Xia, and Wu Ru, as well as civil servants such as Li Qin, Zhang Jin, and Zhang Zhong. Some died on the battlefield during the war, and some died in the rebellion after the city was broken. of.
On Zhu Yuanzhang's side, the losses in generals were only much greater than those on Xiang Yu's side. After all, there was really nothing Zhu Yuanzhang could do against Xiang Yu himself. Even when Lu Er, the most powerful general in Yangzhou, faced Xiang Yu, it was okay if the time was short, but Lu Er would be defeated as time went by.
Such as Tong Ziming, Tan Lun, Zheng Yuchun, Zheng Yulin, Chen Bi, etc., a total of more than ten generals were killed in the battle. Even Wang Yanzhang, a fierce general who could be ranked in the top three, was seriously injured when fighting Zhang Churang. , it takes at least a year to recover.
There is also Xiang Yu himself. Zhu Yuanzhang used himself as bait to lure Xiang Yu to attack. Of course, they only use themselves as bait on the surface, but in fact they are just a substitute. Most princes will not put themselves in danger unless they have to.
Zhu Yuanzhang lured Xiang Yu to attack, not for anything else, but to ambush Xiang Yu. It has to be said that having Xiang Yu around greatly boosted Xiang Yu's morale.
When Xiang Yu personally charged into the battle, Xiang's soldiers were indeed extremely brave, their combat power increased by three points, and they were often able to win more with less. This really gave Zhu Yuanzhang a huge headache.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang finally set up this trap. With Xiang Yu around, the boost to the military morale and fighting spirit of Sergeant Xiang's soldiers is obvious. However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. As long as Xiang Yu falls, the military morale that relies on personal charm will also be improved in a very short period of time. Inward collapse.
It may be difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to design Fan Zeng, but there is still a high possibility of success in designing Xiang Yu. What's more, beside Zhu Yuanzhang, there was Yao Guangxiao, a god-level counselor who checked for his deficiencies and filled them up.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Yao Guangxiao attacked together, and it was difficult for Xiang Yu not to fall into the trap.
In the end, Xiang Yu and his 3,000 soldiers were trapped in a small city by Zhu Yuanzhang's 40,000 troops. The 40,000 troops surrounded and killed Xiang Yu one after another. Even if they were killed, they could still kill him.
Fortunately, Fan Zengcha sensed something was wrong and sent Yingbu to rescue him in time. Xiang Liu, who set out with him, fought to the death, opening a way out for Xiang Yu at the cost of serious injuries.
In this battle, less than a hundred of the three thousand personal guards who followed Xiang Yu successfully broke through. Even Xiang Yu himself suffered seven or eight wounds, one of which was split in the face, leaving behind An indelible wound.
A warrior at the peak of the god level, although his own strength has already stood at the pinnacle of the world. However, more people are more powerful, and humans are still social animals after all. No matter how strong you are, you can defeat ten or hundreds of people, but you cannot defeat thousands or ten thousand people.
