Zhu Zhang is sick.

He was no longer fit to stay in Lu'an City, so he had to return to Beijing.

Liu Bowen has no other better choice.

After Zhu Zhang decided to return to Beijing, he thought about it for a while, and finally decided to let Chang Yuchun lead 40,000 soldiers and horses to guard Lu'an City, and the rest of the soldiers and horses rushed to Jinling with him.

In addition, Liu Bowen and Zhu Zhang made a plan to let Chen Youliang from Luzhou come to help.

Originally, if Lu'an City was broken by the Tang army, the Tang army wanted to go to Jinling, and it also needed to break through Luzhou, and the defender of Luzhou was Chen Youliang.

But now that Zhu Zhang wants to go back, Liu Bowen feels that instead of scattering his forces to block the Tang army, it is better to gather the forces of the two places in one place and block the Tang army in Lu'an City.

Chen Youliang has 50,000 soldiers and horses, Chang Yuchun has 40,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses of the two people add up to 90,000 soldiers and horses, and there should be no problem with 90,000 soldiers and horses blocking the Tang army.

Of course, the premise is that they do not go out of the city to fight the Don army.

After Liu Bowen gave Zhu Zhang this idea, Zhu Zhang did not hesitate much, and immediately agreed, and even, after sending someone to deliver a letter to Chen Youliang, he also stayed in Lu'an City for a few more days to prevent the Tang army from suddenly attacking the city, so as to buy time for Chen Youliang's arrival.

A few days later, Zhu Zhang left with his soldiers and horses, and here in Lu'an City, he was still in a maze, making the Tang army think that Zhu Zhang was still in the city.

However, although the Ming army was in a maze, the strength of the Tang State's spies was very strong, so they quickly discovered the clues, and then hurriedly came to report to Li Yu.

"Holy Lord, it seems that Zhu Zhang has returned to Jinling City with soldiers and horses."

Hearing that Zhu Zhang returned to Jinling City with soldiers and horses, Li Yu was immediately overjoyed, he knew that this must be the news that Han Xin had defeated Zhu Di, so Zhu Zhang was worried that Han Xin would attack Jinling City, so he wanted to go back to the town.

"Okay, okay, who will Zhu Zhang leave to guard?"

"Shengshang, Zhu Zhang left Chang Yuchun behind, in addition, they are also going to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Luzhou, and the soldiers and horses of the two sides will be combined into one to stop us." The spy told Tang Yu about this, and at this time, Cheng Yanjin suddenly jumped out and said: "Shengshang, Chen Youliang of Luzhou is extraordinary, and he can be counted in the entire Ming Kingdom, if he comes, it is not easy for us to capture Lu'an City, or take advantage of the fact that the soldiers and horses in Luzhou have not arrived, let's attack the city first." ”

The soldiers and horses of Luzhou are coming, they will definitely have a lot of pressure if they want to capture Lu'an City, although Chang Yuchun is also very strong, but he is a person in the end, without Chen Youliang's soldiers and horses, with his 40,000 soldiers and horses, he can't stop them.

After Cheng Yanjin finished saying this, some other generals also agreed.

"Holy Lord, we must capture Lu'an City as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, we must capture Lu'an City as soon as possible, otherwise when Chen Youliang's soldiers and horses arrive, can we still capture Lu'an City?"

Everyone is not stupid, and naturally knows that it is easier to attack Chang Yuchun than to attack the soldiers and horses of Chen Youliang and Chang Yuchun.

However, when everyone said this, Xu Maogong shook his head and said: "Shengshang, this Chang Yuchun is also a fierce general, and he is very proficient in soldiers and horses, and he will defend the city, we may not be able to capture it, if you want me to say, it is better to wait for Chen Youliang to come, and then make plans." ”

When Xu Maogong said this, everyone was stunned for a moment, a Chang Yuchun was already difficult to deal with, he even had to wait for Chen Youliang to come before making plans, this Xu Mao was very smart in the fair day, how could he say such nonsense today?

"Lord Xu, what do you mean by this, don't you want us to capture Lu'an City?"

"It's, it's just, if I hadn't heard it come out of your mouth with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was you."

"Tell me about you, how can you say such a non-level thing?"

Everyone thinks Xu Maogong is crazy, how can he say such a thing?

Li Yu was here, but his expression was calm, and he said, "Xu Aiqing, do you have any other ideas?" ”

Xu Mao said fairly: "Shengshang, our siege of the city, in the end, it is not good, if we can go out of the city to fight, it will naturally be better." ”

"Oh, but will the Ming army go out of the city to fight?"

"If it's just Chang Yuchun, they naturally won't go out of the city to fight, but with Chen Youliang, it's different, the relationship between Chen Youliang and Chang Yuchun, as far as the minister knows, is not very good, the two of them are together, they will definitely make trouble, as long as the two of them come, we have a chance."

After Xu Maogong finished saying this, Tang Yu has somewhat understood, Chen Youliang and Chang Yuchun are both famous generals of the Ming Kingdom, but although they are both famous generals, everyone looks at each other and is not pleasing to the eye.

If there is a problem, it is natural to give them some chance.

Li Yu nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, then let's wait for Chen Youliang." ”

Zhu Zhang left, the Tang army did not attack the city, and Chang Yuchun in the city did not feel strange, he thought that the Tang army did not know that Zhu Zhang had left, thinking that there were still many soldiers and horses in Lu'an City.

And Chang Yuchun is not surprised by this matter, but he is a little sneering at Chen Youliang's arrival and is very disgusted.

"Hmph, I really don't know what the saint thinks, I actually asked Chen Youliang to come, is it true that I often meet spring alone, can't I keep this Lu'an City?"

The relationship between Chang Yuchun and Chen Youliang is very bad, and the reason why this is so is still a problem left by Chang Yuchun when he followed Zhu Zhang's expedition to the west.

At that time, the conquests of various countries were frequent, Chang Yuchun was a fierce general under Zhu Zhang, following Zhu Zhang, he can be said to see the city break the city, see the country destroy the country, once within a year, destroyed four countries, can be described as a blockbuster.

And Chen Youliang was a fierce general called the Houyuan Xiaoguo at that time, and Chang Yuchun met Chen Youliang when he destroyed the Houyuan Xiaoguo.

The two of them fought several times at that time, and no one could win against anyone, Chang Yuchun was in the hands of Chen Youliang, and he also suffered some small losses, so that this made Chang Yuchun seem to be a shame in his life.

Later, although Chen Youliang surrendered to the Ming Kingdom, the relationship between Chang Yuchun and Chen Youliang was really not that good.

And Chen Youliang has no good impression of Chang Yuchun.

Because, when the small kingdom of the Later Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, Chen Youliang fell in love with a concubine of the Later Yuan Emperor, and after he surrendered to the Ming Kingdom, he wanted to bring this concubine to his side.

As a result, Chang Yuchun killed this concubine in the name of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, Chen Youliang was extremely distressed, but he had just surrendered to the Ming Kingdom at that time, and he didn't dare to attack, so he could only endure it.

In fact, in his heart, he had long wished that Chang Yuchun would die.

The two of them have such a relationship, so how could Chang Yuchun hope that Chen Youliang would come to guard Lu'an City with him? "Alas, Holy Lord...... What do you think? ”
