Chapter 577

Zhu Dadian's official voice is not very good, because he is greedy and openly asks for bribes. He is not a good man at all.

However, his ability is very outstanding. When he was the left political envoy in Shandong, there was a Wuqiao mutiny. He was the commander of tens of thousands of troops to calm the chaos. Many elite generals listened to orders under his account. He can also control these figures, coordinate the army and calm the Wuqiao mutiny.

That's why he became a minister of the Ministry of military and governor of Shandong. When Zhongdu fell, the country was in trouble and thought of a good general. Since everyone in the imperial court didn't like him, Wu Zongda had no reason to like him. With Zhu Dadian's real power in hand, there was no way to take Zhu Dadian. Now he has taken over all his rights and left him alone.

From the time the court appointed him to take over Zhu Dadian's right, he knew that the court was not optimistic about Zhu at all, so he was not interested in supporting such a person. He knew that one day, he would follow the imperial edict to clean up this person. Naturally, he would not give him any good face and would not ask for advice from the other party.

Although Wu Zongda felt like a mess after taking over all kinds of power. He didn't know where to start, but he just couldn't lower his head and asked Zhu Dadian. Instead, he assigned his affairs to several of his subordinates, master Muyou, and then he was singing poetry and painting with a group of literati and poets.

He is a typical lazy government. When the country is facing the crisis of life and death, he actually put aside his main government affairs to recite poetry against him. At that time, he called it the master of poetry and painting. He also called this kind of behavior the rule of inaction. When someone pointed out that the country is in danger, he also said with reason: "If you have to do all these things by yourself, and you have to do so many officials, you can just take all these people's positions by yourself."

Therefore, the imperial court acted vigorously in this regard. It immediately made personnel changes and arranged new people to take charge of defense. It can't be wrong to use Zhu Dadian cautiously. After all, the imperial court didn't know the real relationship between Zhu Dadian and Liu Yuanqiao. It was afraid that they would collude together and cause more disaster.

Moreover, their measures were also effective. Although the Liu family did not hold high the anti flag after the uprising in Shandong, it was not tolerated by the imperial court. They sent elite soldiers to encircle him in all directions.

From the map, there is no problem with their practice. It can be called a brilliant practice, but it is hard to say what the effect is. For example, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng in beizhili are near the foot of the emperor. They can immediately destroy each other and let the opponent fight and fight desperately. However, Wu Zongda, who is far away from the south of the Yangtze River, is the special feature of the imperial court I don't know how long it will take to make him come and go. It's not easy to destroy him.

In this way, Wu Zongda is a high mountain and far from the emperor. The imperial court has no way to take him at all. Wu Zongda still has leisure to recite poetry against him, because he is only responsible for the military affairs of the whole Jiangnan and dispatching troops to attack Shandong.

However, another capable person who is really responsible for attacking the Liu family in Shandong is Xiong Wencan, governor of Guangdong.

According to Wu Zongda, the war is his Xiong Wencan's business, which has nothing to do with him. As long as he arranges the troops and schedules them well, the rest is his Xiong Wencan's business. He is a civil minister and lets him fight. It's a loss of identity and civility.

Xiong Wencan stayed in Guangzhou. He became famous for successfully recruiting Zheng Zhilong and comforting Fujian politicians and Taoists. Due to Xiong Wencan's outstanding political achievements during his tenure in Fujian, he hung the rank of minister of the Ministry of military and royal envoy of Youjin capital in February of Chongzhen fifth year, and was the prime minister of Guangdong and Guangdong military affairs and governor of Guangdong.

Xiong Wencan is far away in Guangdong, and it takes time to take office. More importantly, Xiong Wencan served as governor of Guangdong in Guangdong, but he did a good job. He had no interest in being transferred to the governor of five provinces. He knew it was a hard job, so he wrote "five difficulties and four imperatives" and tried his best to evade it.

However, Chongzhen still appointed him as the governor of the five provinces and led his troops north to attack Shandong. On the one hand, it was the appointment of the imperial court and on the other hand, he tried his best to shirk it. When this governor of the five provinces will take office is a problem.

However, Wu Zongda held his own identity and thought that he was not a soldier. All this should be handed over to Xiong Wencan. However, Xiong Wencan tried his best to shirk and didn't want to take the job at all. This made it impractical for the south to send troops to attack Shandong. At least, the imperial court hoped to launch an offensive against Shandong in a short time, but according to the southern plan Because of the urination of border officials, it is very difficult to do this.

That's why the Liu family had no time to deal with Hong Chengshou and Lu Xiangsheng's heavy army group in the north. If the imperial court also organized legions of the same scale in the South and Henan, they would be stretched.

Liu Buhe secretly appeared in Dezhou, that is, to give a fatal blow to Lu Xiangsheng, the imperial court's heavy army group.

The imperial court focused on attacking Shandong and prepared to take them. Now the imperial court is extremely afraid of the collapse of Liu Zeqing's 100000 troops. They understand that if they want to deal with Liu Jiajun, they can only send a heavy army group to deal with him. If they just send ordinary troops, it is sending vegetables. Therefore, the imperial court is temporarily unable to launch an all-round attack on Shandong Attack, can only launch key attacks.

They are Lu Xiangsheng's East Road army and Hong Chengchou's West Road army, one east and one west, jointly attacking Shandong, hoping to solve the battle in the short term. This is their key offensive strategy.

Liu Jiajun's current strength, if he wants to fight in an all-round way, his troops will be scattered, because after they occupied the West three houses, their troops will become insufficient and have to face the attack from all directions of the imperial court.

The attacks in Henan and Jianghuai directions can be ignored for the time being, but it is very difficult to face the attacks of two imperial armies at the same time, so they gathered superior forces and prepared to win the other party all the way.

Liu Bu analyzed the character of the two commanders of the Ming army. For Hong Chengchou, he is an old opponent and knows each other. He knows that Hong Chengchou is cunning.

Although he is also obedient to the emperor, he is greedy for life and afraid of death. His control over his subordinates is far inferior to Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng was a loyal man to the emperor. Whoever the emperor asked him to fight, he would fight with Liu Jiajun. Even if the whole army of Hong Chengchou group was destroyed, he would still jump up and fight with them.

Therefore, Liu Bu made a strategy. First, he attacked Lu Xiangsheng's legion. As long as he defeated them, Hong Chengchou group would leave with its tail between its legs and dare not go south easily. As long as they defeated the Ming army all the way, they could teach the imperial army to be a man, and then promote peace with war.

In the short term, they still hope to establish superficial peace talks with the imperial court.

Because at present, the people's support of the Ming Dynasty has not been lost. Now they want to start the army. They are not enough in terms of military strength and equipment. They are afraid that they will fight with the Ming Court and die together. It's cheaper to build slaves or roving bandits.

If it was Liu Bu in the past, he would have some naive ideas. That is, even if he fought with JianNu and died together, it would be cheaper than the roving bandits. After all, it is still the world of Han people, and the meat is still rotten in the pot.

But after these things, he had a more clear idea.

As the contemporary leader of the Liu family, when the Liu family was defeated, he didn't surrender to get away, but the whole family died. I believe that if anyone gets the power, he won't easily spare the Liu family.

The struggle of this era is a life and death struggle. Any failure must be the death of the body, the destruction of the family, and the children and grandchildren have to be slaves and prostitutes. In this case, he knew that this is the inevitable situation. He can't retreat if he wants to retreat, so he will be ready and go all out to face all the enemies.

He will not fight with the imperial court, and then let the rogue bandits take advantage of it. The imperial court should guard against it, and the oil rogue bandits should also guard against it. He wants to win and become the only winner, not anyone.

He once read a novel "biography of two dragons in the Tang Dynasty" and deeply admired the mind of the world abandoned by the protagonist Kou Zhong. However, he knew that this was simply unrealistic. Once you handed over your military power and rights, he had no choice but to die, so he decided to attack Lu Xiangsheng first.
