Chapter 1483: The army is approaching Shouchun
On the way to Xuzhou, Zhu Yunwen and Xianxian almost died at the hands of local gangs more than once. After receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's protection, both of them naturally planned to practice martial arts.
Zhu Yunwen's martial arts talent is too poor. He practiced for three full months before he could barely feel Qi. Such martial arts talent may not reach a first-class level even after a lifetime of practicing in the mountains and rivers.
It's different for immortals. Inner breath can be generated within three hours. Although such talent is not top-notch, it's not bad either. If you work hard, you can achieve good results.
Xianxian's martial arts talent is so good, Zhu Yunwen naturally wanted to help her plan something, so he shamelessly asked Zhu Yuanzhang for secrets.
Zhu Yuanzhang's martial arts talent is not good, but he has a lot of secret books in his hand, but the level is not high.
Knowing that Zhu Yunwen was asking for the secret book for his wife, Zhu Yuanzhang shamelessly asked Emperor Ming to give him the secret book of the Yue Nv Sword in order to make Zhu Yunwen follow him wholeheartedly. After all, the Yue Nv Sword is recognized as the most suitable swordsmanship for women.
There are not a few people who know how to use Yue Nu Sword in this world, but most of them only learn the incomplete version. Only Emperor Ming and A Qing have learned the complete version.
Emperor Ming would naturally not refuse Zhu Yuanzhang's request. After all, this is just a secret book. Whether it can be practiced depends on one's talent.
In this way, after coming to this world, Xianxian went through all kinds of hardships, and finally obtained a top martial arts secret book, and became a fellow disciple of Emperor Ming and Ah Qing.
Hearing Zhu Yunwen ask about his martial arts training progress, Xianxian said with some disappointment: "I have already reached the fifth level. The Yue Nu Sword is easy to learn but difficult to master, and it becomes more difficult as you practice it. I have practiced hard for three years and only reached the fifth level." At this level, I am afraid that even if I practice for a lifetime, I will never reach the master level.”
Xianxian also has a dream of being a heroine, and she also wants to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts by fighting in the swordsmanship. However, although she has good qualifications, she has missed the best age for practicing martial arts, and it is probably impossible to achieve anything.
"In just three years, Xianxian, you have gone from being powerless to becoming a first-rate master today. This is already very rare. You know, I have barely stepped into the third rate." Zhu Yunwen said with a bitter smile.
Xianxian was quite disappointed at first, but when he heard Zhu Yunwen say this and compared it, he realized that he was already blessed.
"Little fool, I am learning martial arts to protect you." Xianxian gently stroked Zhu Yunwen's cheek and said affectionately.
Zhu Yunwen was also moved. He grabbed Xianxian's hand and said, "I also want to protect Xianxian."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, all the warmth and love left unspoken.
“By the way, Immortal, after the emperor...well, after the lord takes Jianghuai, he will return to Jizhou for pilgrimage, and he will definitely see Emperor Ming then..."
When he mentioned Emperor Ming, Zhu Yunwen's face couldn't help but become weird. After all, everyone knew that Emperor Ming was a girl, but a woman occupied his position as Emperor Ming, but his grandfather was still willing to serve for her. No matter how he looked at it, Zhu Yunwen felt it was extremely weird.
"Xianxian, why don't you come with me? Emperor Ming's Yue Nv swordsmanship has already been mastered. If you ask her to give you some pointers, it might help you break through the masters."
Hearing Zhu Yunwen mention Emperor Ming, the immortal couldn't help showing a solemn look, and said in a deep voice: "Idiot, this Emperor Ming is not simple, she may also be a time traveler."
"What?"
Zhu Yunwen looked shocked and said in shock: "Are you saying that Emperor Ming, like you, Wang Mang, and Qin Hao, all came from modern times?"
“That’s right.”
Xianxian nodded firmly, and then analyzed step by step: "I thought she was Wu Zetian at first. After all, Wu Zetian was the first empress, but after investigating all her titles, I didn't find any one with the surname Wu.
Since it is not Wu Zetian, only the time traveler can be worthy of her status as empress, not to mention her acting style is very similar to that of the time traveler. ” ˆ ˆ “That’s it…”
Zhu Yunwen pondered for a while and then asked: "Since Emperor Ming is also a time traveler, she must know that the lord is the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Now that she is occupying the magpie's nest, will it be detrimental to the lord in the future?"
After Xianxian pondered for a while, he shook his head and said: "Emperor Ming's acting style is actually very contradictory, making it difficult to understand her character.
But now that Qin Hao has become bigger, if Emperor Ming wants to be Wu Zetian, he will definitely not attack his lord before Qin Hao falls. "
"That's good."
Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen felt relieved. After all, he and Zhu Yuanzhang were now tied to death, and the relationship between the two parties was already prosperous and mutually destructive.
“Xianxian, do you think this opportunity to win the Lianghuai River will go smoothly?”
"As long as Zhao Kuangyin can send troops, the two Huaihe Rivers will definitely be occupied by our army."
As Zhu Yunwen and Xianxian expected, soon after Xu Shiji withdrew his troops, the rumors really took effect.
Zhao Kuangyin thought that both Yuan Shu and Zhu Yuanzhang would lose in a fight, so he immediately led an army of 100,000 to attack Yuan Shu in Lianghuai.
Yuan Shu had just defeated Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhao Kuangyin came to attack again. Everyone regarded him as a soft persimmon.
Yuan Shu was so angry that he directly ordered Lian Po to lead all the troops in the country to fight against him. He also gave Lian Po a death order that he must beat Zhao Kuangyin so that he would never dare to invade the Huaihe River again.
Although the situation in Yuzhou that Zhao Kuangyin first occupied was better than that of Cao Cao's Yanzhou, it was only half as good. However, after two years of cultivation, Yuzhou's vitality gradually recovered.
Zhao Kuangyin did not directly support 200,000 troops like Cao Cao in order to resist the invasion. He only raised 150,000 elite troops according to his ability.
This time Zhao Kuangyin directly dispatched a hundred thousand troops, accounting for two-thirds of his troops. What he wanted was to take advantage of Yuan Shu's weakness to occupy the Lianghuai granary.
But after the war started, Zhao Kuangyin discovered that the Henan army was not as weak as he thought, and could still gather an army of 70,000. With Lian Po, an old rival, commanding the army, it was obviously not easy to capture Jianghuai in one fell swoop.
Hold the bow without turning back.
Since the army had already started, it was naturally impossible for Zhao Kuangyin to withdraw. Just as he was dragging Lian Po to the front line, Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the empty troops in Huaihe and Huaihe to personally lead the army to attack.
Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops this time to occupy the right time, place and people. It was like being in an uninhabited territory in the Huaihe River. The cities in various places were either conquered or surrendered without a fight. It only took half a month to reach the foot of Shouchun City.
Zhu Yuanzhang arrived too quickly, giving Yuan Shu almost no chance to react. Shouchun City was already surrounded by 80,000 Ming troops, and there were only 10,000 defenders in the city.
