Hu Guozhu raised his head suddenly: "The minister wants to rebel, and there are no soldiers or generals, but now there is a person who has soldiers and generals in his hands, and the troops of our Great Zhou Dynasty are all in his hands, if he rebels, I am afraid that no one can stop him!" ”

Wu Shifan was stunned for a moment, and then understood that he was talking about Xia Guoxiang, and laughed: "General Hu, you are too suspicious, now that the war is urgent, if I can't do it without suspicion, how can I win this battle." ”

I have to say that the sentence of later generations saying that the essence ~ insect is on the brain is reasonable, Wu Shifan was just in a coma in the harem, and he was able to clearly judge the situation immediately after calming down.

Hu Guozhu pouted: "It's always a little inappropriate for this Great Zhou's troops to be handed over to only one person。。。。。。 ”

Before he said this, Wu Shifan's face sank: "On the court that day, I asked you, no one was willing to reach out to pick up this mess, finally Lord Xia was willing to take over, you can't see it, what do you want?" Besides, I treat Xia Guo well, and he will definitely not disappoint me. ”

"Zhou Shizong treats Zhao Kuangyin well, when things get to that point, even if Xia Guoxiang is unwilling, the people behind him have draped the dragon robe on him, can he still take it off?"

Wu Shifan also felt some truth when he heard this, and coughed: "Now that he has just taken control of the army, I will order to take away his military power, which will be chilling." ”

"The minister didn't say that he wanted to take away his military power, but he was not suitable to control the military power of this garrison, so it was better to hand it over to the minister, and the minister promised that if there was a minister, Xia Guoxiang would never be double-minded."

Wu Shifan snorted and laughed, didn't speak, turned around and left here, leaving Hu Guozhu with a stunned expression, this Wu Shifan left without saying a word, but it really made people feel a little uneasy, especially the two laughs at the end, could it be that he felt that he came here to fight for power and profit this time? But even if this is the case, doesn't he even want the throne?

Hu Guozhu knew that Wu Shifan had long been prepared for Xia Guoxiang and Hu Guozhu to join forces to deal with him, and even the whole preparation was Wu Sanguibu's bureau, and now the situation is like this, no matter what, Xia Guoxiang dared to stand up and serve the country at a critical time, and what Hu Guozhu thought was just that Xia Guoxiang could not be allowed to monopolize power.

Besides, at this time, handing over the garrison to Hu Guozhu is not a clear distrust of Xia Guoxiang, because of the incident of the auxiliary minister, Wu Shifan and Xia Guoxiang had a lot of unhappiness, and now they naturally refuse to do this kind of thing, and the person is handed over to Hu Guozhu, and his own life can be pinched in his hands, in comparison, it is better to pinch it in the hands of Xia Guoxiang, at least Xia Guoxiang is still for the good of Da Zhou.

It can be said that because of Mao Sui's self-recommendation in the court, Xia Guoxiang has become the Duke of Zhou in Wu Shifan's heart, and Xia Guoxiang's recommendation of Hu Guozhu was rejected by him, and Hu Guozhu's impression in Wu Shifan's eyes has become a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

It's just that it's a bit inappropriate to say something heavy at this time, after all, Hu Guozhu is still his uncle, but if he continues to be amiable, I'm afraid that Hu Guozhu will have to gain an inch, so he left a sneering expression for Hu Guozhu to ponder by himself.

Soon what happened here reached Xia Guoxiang's ears, to say that Xia Guoxiang did not plant his own eyeliner here, it was absolutely impossible, after hearing the emperor's reaction, he also smiled: "Hu Guozhu is regarded as lifting a stone and hitting his own feet, when he was above the court, he didn't even dare to do this boss, he should hide and squint, and even dared to stand up and sow discord, but I am afraid that in the eyes of the emperor, his impression is even worse." ”

One of the strategists beside him lowered his voice and said, "It's just that Dashuai, do you have this mind?" ”

"Don't underestimate my father-in-law, he has been around in his life, nine deaths, and will definitely leave plenty of back roads for his grandson, besides, the time has not yet come, if we make a mess, there is only a three-to-four percent chance of victory, it is better to defend the city with a good life, after all, now that Hu Guozhu has lost power, we can also rest assured for a while."

Several people around nodded at the same time: "The marshal is right, this kind of thing really has to be calm, whoever can have the last laugh, who is the real winner, let's see how this battle is fought first." ”

Yuan Zonghao prepared outside the city for seven days, and then began to tentatively attack the city, to fight Nanjing, you have to cross the Yangtze River, just like the later war of liberation, the liberation of Nanjing is called the battle of crossing the river.

The reason why Nanjing City is easy to defend and difficult to attack is mainly because there is this Yangtze River in front of you, there is a Purple Mountain Dragon Pan in the east, and there is a stone mountain tiger in the west.

At the beginning, Chen Youliang attacked Yingtianfu, first the waterway was blocked, and he wanted to go to Quarry Rock, but he was ambushed by Zhu Yuanzhang and defeated here, laying the foundation of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Now most of Yuan Zonghao's offensive is mainly tentative, but fortunately, the Shanhe Army was familiar with the water nature when they were guarding Kuimen, and they would not grind their guns again.

The Yangtze River has a very fast water flow speed, and if you blindly move forward, it will not take long for it to deviate from the direction, and it is much more difficult to move on the water than on land; after the command of the military flag, all the land can be in place in about a quarter of an hour, and it may not be able to be in place for half an hour when sleeping. So there was no need to put up any military formations on the water, just spread the boats.

There is also a saying that the ships are scattered, there are guns on the ships on both sides, and the guns go straight to the ground, if the ships are all gathered together, they don't need to aim at all, they can shoot directly in this direction, and they will definitely be able to make a catch, so most of the ships should be separated.

Of course, if your ship is big enough, you can also use iron cables to connect together, aimed at the opposite side of the river, as long as the ship appears, it will be directly bombed into slag, and it will never be given the opportunity to adjust its cannons.

Time is limited, Yuan Zonghao has no time to build a big ship, and the ships collected are all small ships, so the method of connecting the iron cables has been abandoned, and if this method is abandoned, the ships will have to be scattered, and the opponent's ships will fight against the artillery Yuan Zonghao is not very worried, but he doesn't want to sink his ship by mistake on the other side, which is too embarrassing.

Of course, these days were all temptations, and Yuan Zonghao meant that after figuring out the habits of the river and the troop allocation in the city, he decided whether to march on a large scale.
