Sometimes life is full of surprises. When Su Cheng, Zhang Wuji and others returned again, Cheng Kun's attitude changed and he agreed to cooperate with them.
Seeing this, Su Cheng did not delve into how Xie Xun did it, and then left the house and quietly met Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao.
After briefly talking about the situation at hand and subsequent plans, Su Cheng said to them:
"In the next few days, don't go out easily. If possible, bring the people from Shaolin Wudang and Emei Kongtong with you, and then all go to our rebel army. No matter what Zhu Yuanzhang does next, don't easily
Take action."
With so many people, it was impossible for Su Cheng to take them all with him, otherwise their traces would be easily exposed, so Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao would have to be left behind to keep an eye on the situation here.
"Sir, there was news from the Lord Zhu Tan earlier that all the rebels will be gathered tomorrow to discuss how to deal with King Ruyang's army. It should be that the rebels from all sides will be assigned to defend the frontiers."
Xiao Zhao also talked about a situation. She was just discussing with Zhao Min how to deal with it tomorrow.
"Tomorrow? It's so urgent..."
Su Cheng frowned. King Ruyang's army had just crossed the Yangtze River and should be in Zhenjiang at this time, where the Changle Gang would be located in the future. It was at least a hundred miles away from Yingtian Mansion.
King Ruyang has two ways to reach Yingtian Mansion. One is to take a boat along the Yangtze River, but this requires too many boats and is impossible to complete in a short time. The other is to go from the coast of the Yangtze River, or from border towns or Pingyang Town.
The road ahead will take at least seven or eight days.
There are steep mountains between Yingtianfu and Zhenjiang, and it is not easy for an army of nearly a million to reach it.
Moreover, the walls of Yingtianfu City are high and deep. Although the rebel army is weak, as long as there is enough food, there is absolutely no problem in defending the city for two or three months. As long as it continues to delay, King Ruyang will definitely be recalled by Yuanting.
of.
No one in Yuanting could bear it. King Ruyang led nearly a million troops outside, which was too much of a threat to Yuanting.
As mentioned before, using defense as offense is the best choice, but Zhu Yuanzhang's decision at this time clearly deviated from the original plan.
"Judging from our previous speculation, King Ruyang and Zhu Yuanzhang have reached a certain tacit understanding. At this time, it seems very likely that Zhu Yuanzhang intends to borrow a knife to kill someone."
Su Cheng said lightly, he knew in his heart that compared to him, what Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to deal with were the forces close to the top leaders of the Mingjiao, and his people were just passing along.
"The enemy is currently facing us, but..."
Zhao Min originally wanted to make some sarcastic remarks, but when he thought of Yuanting's situation, his excitement waned and he lost the temper of his words.
Su Cheng was silent for a while after hearing this. In fact, everyone hates internal fighting, but when things really come to pass, everyone will definitely have the same idea, and before fighting against external forces, we must first settle within.
This may be due to human nature. Almost all dynasties in history perished due to internal fighting. The previous dynasties include Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, the Jin Dynasty, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, etc. Needless to say, the Yuan Dynasty, and the later Ming Dynasty
The same was true for the Qing Dynasty. As for the Qing Dynasty, it was solved from within by Yuan Shikai.
Fortresses are often breached from within. Su Cheng came from later generations and understood this better than others. Therefore, although he did not like to do these things, the development of the situation and the surrounding environment had to let him
He made this choice.
"This kind of thing...even if it takes a thousand or ten thousand years, it will continue to exist. We all have to accept this."
Su Cheng shook his head and did not continue the topic. Instead, he said:
"Miss Zhao, Zhu Yuanzhang knows your identity. Logically speaking, it is impossible for him to send you to die. But if this really happens, then please tell King Ruyang to tell him and stop committing more crimes.
The defeat of Yuanting is inevitable, even if it is not for others, but for the fate of you Meng Yuan people in the future, you should think more about it."
In fact, Su Cheng also understood that in the position of King Ruyang, many things were out of his control. Not to mention Yuanting's targeting, even if King Ruyang was willing to reduce the number of killings, it was impossible for all the soldiers under his command to obey orders.
"I understand, these things... I will tell my father."
Zhao Min's face was a little solemn, not because of nervousness or fear, but more of worry.
No matter whether Yuanting wins or loses in the end, the fate of King Ruyang will be worrying. On the other hand, King Ruyang is also in a difficult situation. He cannot rebel directly, let alone surrender to the southern rebels.
Moreover, in the next war, we cannot win a big victory, and indeed we cannot lose a big defeat, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble.
No matter where you are in Sioux City, you will always find it difficult, as if you are bound by a cobweb, and you will be trapped in various difficulties.
"Okay, then you should be careful next time, I will leave first."
Su Cheng did not stay too long, and quietly left the courtyard in a flash.
Su Cheng was not too worried about the safety of Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao. With their martial arts, resourcefulness, luck, and so many people around them, even if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to take action, he would not be able to do it easily.
succeed.
Later, Su City arrived in Su City, took a look at the rebels outside, and found that the camp was well-organized, with ditches, fences, and earthen walls on all sides. Soldiers were constantly patrolling inside and outside, and the defense was indeed very tight.
With Su Cheng's martial arts at this time, although it is indeed possible to sneak in, there is no need to do so. This is the time when Zhu Yuanzhang is most cautious. There must be great danger here. Although Su Cheng has confidence in his martial arts, he will not go there easily.
adventure.
Those who are good at fighting will die in battle, and those who are good at swimming will drown in the water.
Having confidence is a good thing, but if you become careless because of your confidence, you are not far from death.
"There are no signs of mobilization of the army, so my judgment is correct. Zhu Yuanzhang is planning to send some of his men to meet the enemy..."
Departing a large army is not a simple matter. Not to mention logistical issues such as food, grass, farmers, etc., the mobilization of this large army is a big problem. It needs to be arranged in advance, and it is absolutely impossible to act temporarily.
From the situation in the camp in front of him, Su Cheng had already judged that Zhu Yuanzhang was most concerned about the situation of Zhang Wuji and other high-level officials of the Mingjiao. Until this matter was resolved, the situation of the rebels outside might continue to be like this.
"Okay, it's better for Zhu Yuanzhang to stay here. Otherwise, if he really leaves with his army, it will be even more difficult to take action."
No wonder Su Cheng received such news. He had never forgotten that when he met Zhu Yuanzhang, Goldfinger once reminded him that this man was the True Dragon Emperor.
"I just hope nothing happens, and I don't want to be like Liu Xiu..."
If Zhu Yuanzhang also had a meteorite fall from the sky, Su Cheng would really be a little frightened. Faced with such a natural disaster, he would not be sure to avoid it.
