Chapter 341 Ambush of One Hundred Thousand Soldiers
Jiangzhou, Hanwang’s Mansion, Dungeon.
It's early winter, but the dungeon is full of warmth, just because there is a huge brazier in the prison.
The charcoal fire in the brazier is burning vigorously, making a "cracking" sound from time to time.
Chen Youliang held a three-foot-long soldering iron, slowly moved the charcoal fire in the furnace, and said calmly: "Is there no news about Brother Dingbian yet?"
"General Zhang should still be hiding in Jiangdu Mansion, but the envoys were arrested under Zhang Yangquan's order." A general standing behind him quickly replied.
This man is Kangtai, the general of the Cheonwan Army. He is tall and burly, with a beard like a steel nail on his chin. He is not angry and intimidating.
However, such a big man hunched over like a little woman in front of Chen Youliang, and even spoke in a soft voice.
Chen Youliang pulled out the red-hot iron and said coldly: "Zhang Yangquan dared to arrest the envoy I sent. I will make him regret it in the future!"
While talking, take the soldering iron to the north wall of the dungeon.
There are three cross-like wooden stands poking under the wall, and a person is tied to one of them.
A muscular man with disheveled hair and a shirtless body!
This man's naked upper body was covered in scars, and not an inch of intact skin could be seen.
The types of injuries vary, indicating that he has been subjected to several types of torture.
A skylight was opened in the dungeon, and the cold wind kept pouring in through the window. The man had no clothes on, so naturally he was shivering all over from the cold.
However, when Chen Youliang walked over, he felt a burning sensation again because Chen Youliang stopped the soldering iron an inch on his chest.
The man seemed to be able to feel the coming pain, and shouted in a hissing voice: "King Han! My brother came to vote sincerely, there is no falsehood!"
Chen Youliang sneered and said: "Sincerity? I'm afraid it's a fake surrender! Who doesn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang has always valued you Liao brothers, and you will betray him?"
That man was Liao Yongzhong from Chaohu Water Village.
"My brother took refuge with him in the first place just to survive. Who knew that Zhu Yuanzhang overestimated his own capabilities and sought death? He wanted to fight Tianwan Army and Jiangdu Army!"
Chen Youliang moved the soldering iron up and down, as if looking for a suitable position to strike, and said calmly: "Really? But my insider hidden next to Zhu Yuanzhang said that you came to pretend to surrender on Zhu Yuanzhang's order!"
Liao Yongzhong was shocked and angry.
"No! There is absolutely no such thing! Zhu Yuanzhang only asked my brother to supervise the construction of the water stronghold recently. There is no such thing as a false surrender!"
Chen Youliang said coldly: "When you were talking, my men were hiding nearby and eavesdropping. You dared to deceive me. You are simply reckless!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the iron was stamped hard on Liao Yongzhong's chest!
"Ahhh!"
Liao Yongzhong screamed, and his voice became intermittent under the severe pain.
"No, no! Zhu Yuanzhang never said such... words to us..."
"Very good, I like people who are tough-talking!"
Chen Youliang couldn't help but press down hard, and he saw a burst of hot steam rising up, and he could even smell the smell of barbecue in the tent.
After Liao Yongzhong let out a shrill cry, he tilted his head and fainted.
Chen Youliang used a soldering iron to burn Liao Yongzhong's abdomen again. He heard a "sizzling" sound, but no sound was heard from Liao Yongzhong. It seemed that he had really fainted.
"Kangtai, do you think he really surrendered or faked it?"
Kangtai hurriedly said: "It should be a real surrender! If it was a fake surrender, he would have asked where our people were hiding at that time!"
Chen Youliang thought for a while and ordered someone to splash water on Liao Yongzhong to wake him up.
"Wow!"
The biting cold water was poured on Liao Yongzhong, and he suddenly woke up and let out a weak groan.
Chen Youliang moved the soldering iron to his eyes and said coldly: "How about it? Do you want to tell the truth? As long as you tell the truth, I can reward you!"
Liao Yongzhong's eyelashes have been curled inward by the iron.
He simply closed his eyes and cursed.
"Brother! You are wrong! Chen Youliang is a courageous rat. We sincerely surrender to him, but he is still timid. This kind of person is not worth following!"
Kangtai was taken aback and became furious: "You brat, you're looking for death!" He grabbed a whip and was about to whip it.
Chen Youliang suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him, and Kang Tai didn't dare to move.
Chen Youliang stared closely at Liao Yongzhong, as if he wanted to see every subtle movement on his face clearly.
"Liao Yongzhong, do you know what will happen if you scold me?" he asked while staring.
Liao Yongzhong still closed his eyes and sneered: "At worst, you will die. A courageless coward like you will be slaughtered sooner or later in the future. I am waiting for you down there!"
Chen Youliang suddenly smiled, walked behind Liao Yongzhong, untied the rope from his arm, and then helped him sit down on a chair.
Liao Yongzhong opened his eyes, stared at him and said: "What do you mean? If you want to do it, just do it quickly. Those who torture people are not heroes!"
Chen Youliang took two steps back and bowed towards Liao Yongzhong.
"Brother Liao, I'm really sorry just now. I am most afraid of being deceived, so I tried it out. Please forgive me!"
Liao Yongzhong snorted and said nothing.
Chen Youliang smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely make up for the torture you suffered just now ten times a hundred times. I will let you know that taking refuge in me, Chen Youliang, is definitely the right choice!"
Liao Yongzhong was silent for a long time and said: "King of Han, my brother understood a truth when he was in Chaohu Water Village!"
"Oh? Please give me some advice!"
Liao Yongzhong said solemnly: "In these troubled times, it is not easy to survive. As long as the King of Han is willing to take you in, my brother will be grateful. I dare not ask for anything else!"
Chen Youliang squinted his eyes and said: "Brother Liao is indeed a sensible person. But I, Chen, definitely mean what I say. Kangtai, go and call my two beautiful concubines!"
Kangtai looked envious, glanced at Liao Yongzhong, and was about to leave the dungeon.
Liao Yongzhong suddenly said: "Your Highness, King of Han, I feel your thoughts, but if I stay here for a moment longer, my brother and the whole family will be in more danger!"
Chen Youliang slapped his forehead and said: "That's right, I was negligent!" A light flashed in his eyes.

This is actually another way for him to test Liao Yongzhong.
Generally, people who pretend to surrender don't care too much about time, but people who really surrender will always worry about being discovered by the original owner.
Liao Yongzhong sat up straighter and said: "His Royal Highness, King of Han, do you know what task Zhu Yuanzhang gave my brother?"
Chen Youliang sat down opposite him and said with a smile: "I think I heard you mention it just now, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang asked you to supervise the construction of the water stronghold?"
Liao Yongzhong nodded and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Yuanzhang knows that your building ship is very powerful, so he has no intention of fighting you on the water!"
"Oh? Then why did he build a water village?"
"This is Zhu Yuanzhang's conspiracy. He wants to build the plank road openly and secretly attack Chencang!"
Chen Youliang's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "How is he going to secretly seduce Chen Cang?"
Liao Yongzhong said: "He deliberately attracted your navy, and then he went north by land, crossed the lake from Hukou, and wanted to sneak attack Jiangzhou!"
Chen Youliang quickly ordered someone to bring a map and asked Liao Yongzhong to tell Zhu Yuanzhang's march route.
Liao Yongzhong pointed to the east direction of Poyang Lake, along the lake shore, from bottom to top.
"He plans to lead the main army to pass through Kanglang Mountain first, arrive at Duchang County, then reach Dagushan Mountain, and go straight to the mouth of the lake!"
Chen Youliang was surprised and delighted, and said: "How does General Liao think our army should respond?"
Liao Yongzhong pointed to Dagushan and said: "If we set up an ambush here, we will definitely be able to eliminate Zhu Yuanzhang's main force in one fell swoop!"
Chen Youliang's eyes flashed and he said: "General Liao means that all our troops are ambushed here?"
Liao Yongzhong waved his hand and said: "The King of Han can advance in two directions. One hundred thousand naval troops can attack Raozhou Water Village by water, and one hundred thousand army troops can ambush in Dagushan!"
Chen Youliang laughed loudly and slapped the table hard.
"Okay, this is exactly what I want!"
Liao Yongzhong struggled to stand up, cupped his hands and said: "Zhu Yuanzhang asked my brother to set up a suspicious formation in the water village and delay it as much as possible. In fact, he was asking us to die. When the Han Dynasty navy arrives, my brother will hold up the white flag in the water village as a signal, and will
The water village is dedicated to the King of Han!"
When Chen Youliang heard what he said, he felt relieved and helped him sit down.
"If we can win this battle, I will report to His Majesty and grant the title of marquis to these two people!"
Liao Yongzhong was overjoyed and said: "Thank you so much, King Han! I still need to go back quickly. Zhu Yuanzhang has always been suspicious recently. He will definitely be suspicious when he sees that I am not in the water village!"
"Then it's all thanks to Brother Liao."
Chen Youliang looked at Kangtai and said, "First take Brother Liao to the imperial doctor to get some medicine, and then send Brother Liao away in person. You must not let anyone find out!"
