Chapter 35 The Thirty-fifth Chapter Zhu Wenzheng Guards Ziming in Nanchang to Rescue

However, it is not a problem to say that Taizu and Xu Da joined forces and planned to take Luzhou day and night. Let’s say that the puppet Han Dynasty Chen Youliang set up the court one day, Zhang Dingbian went out to play and said: “I recently heard that Zhu in Jinling led 100,000 troops to rescue Anfeng, and defeated Zhang Qiu and Lu Zhen; Defeated and forced to Luzhou, he was forced to close up. Xu Da also went to Luzhou to support him, attacking day and night, that is to say, Jinling and Jiangxi are both empty, and the Lord just took advantage of the gap to seek revenge." You Liang said: "The Zhu family has In the long-distance battle of Kongguo, Qing and others can lead troops directly to the territory, first take Jiangxi, and then conquer Jiangnan, and Jinling can be planned." Because the prime minister Yang Cong's government was in charge of military affairs, and the empress Yang's family was in charge of government affairs.Since then, Prince Chen Li, Zhang Dingbian, Chen Yingjie and others have led the navy and army soldiers, a total of 600,000 and 5,000 warships. They set off from Wuchang on a certain day, and landed at Poyang Lake to Nanchang Mansion, ten Ruian away from the city. camp.

But it was said that Nanchang was guarded by Taizu's nephew Zhu Wenzheng, Marshal Deng Yu and Zhao Desheng of the Zuo Army. When they heard that their friends and soldiers had arrived, they discussed and said, "This is because I know that my master is far away in Huaidong, so I took advantage of the virtual entry to take Jiangxi's ear. But in the city There are few soldiers, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to reach the enemy, so what do you do?" Desheng said to Wen Zheng, "Don't worry, general. Now only one thousand soldiers are left to guard the city, and the young general, Zhang Ziming and Xia Maocheng will lead a thousand troops out of the city to meet the enemy." Zhu Wen Zheng said: "Even so, the bandits are so powerful that we should not take them lightly." Desheng said, "It might as well." Then he led the troops out to fight.On the Han soldiers' formation, Zhang Zi'ang, the son of Zhang Dingbian, was facing each other on a horse, and was stabbed to death by Desheng under the horse.In that battle, Commander Jin rushed to meet the enemy, but was shot down by Desheng's flying arrow and beheaded.Desheng hung Ziang's head on the spear, and shouted, "Whoever comes again to fight, should use it as an example!" When Dingbian saw his son's head, he burst into tears, raised his sword, mounted his horse and ran out into battle, fighting with Desheng. There is no distinction between victory and defeat when there are more than 30 battles.Chen Youliang saw that Dingbian's power was not increasing, so he urged the soldiers to come over.In Desheng's battle, Zhang Ziming and others blocked the four generals together.Na Desheng fought bravely to be the first, blocked a hundred with one, and defeated the Han soldiers and left.Desheng didn't chase after him, so he withdrew his troops and entered the city.Zhu Wenzheng said: "Today's Marshal Tiger's power is enough to break the courage of the bandit soldiers. But the enemy will eventually be defeated, and he will come back to the trapped city. It is also advisable to repair the watch and make people rush to Luzhou for help. The people will be safe." Liu He, the householder, went with the watch.Who would have thought that Liu He was captured by bandits before he left the city for several miles.When Liu He saw that things had failed, he tore the watch into pieces, chewed his mouth like a paste, and couldn't read a word, so he jumped into the river and died.Youliang knew that this was a call for help, so he surrounded Nanchang on all sides and shouted: "The soldiers in the city can come and surrender quickly, and we will seek wealth and honor together." If you don’t guard the nest and plot instead, you will be defeated.” Because the generals were ordered to assign various gates to refuse to guard, they were on guard day and night.That Youliang used a ladder to attack, but General Deng flew over with cannon stones and other items. The Han soldiers injured countless people.After more than a month, Wen Zheng and others calculated, "Liu He will not return for a long time. He was killed by bandits on the way to most of the capital. It is better to let people go again." It is bound to be harmless to cross the pass at night." Wenzheng repaired his watch and wrote Ziming's hair, and headed towards the night according to the plan.

Who wants to surround Nanchang with friendship, and dispatch Jiang Bisheng, Rao Dingchen, etc., to attack Ji'an with 10,000 soldiers.Mingdao, the guard of Naji'an, and Cuizhong, who was in command of the army, were at odds with each other. Namingdao came to attack because of his latent knowledge, and he made an appointment to attack, using the name of fire in the city.Wanzhong was killed in battle, Cuizhong left when he saw the situation, and was seized by Huang Rurun, the prefect, and together with Zhu Hua, the prefect, Liu Ji, and Zhao Tianlin, the prefect, sent them to Youliang's account. Under the city of Nanchang.Wenzheng and others ignored it.It's the day, and the siege is becoming more urgent.He commanded Zhao Xian to command the sharp soldiers, opened the door to fight, and killed Han Pingzhang Liu Jinzhao and the privy envoy Zhao Xiang; and Xie Cheng, who took the lead in attacking the stone, captured the three generals alive, and the bandits retreated.However, when Zhao Desheng visited the east gate at night, he was shot in the waist by an arrow from the thief, which penetrated six inches.Desheng pulled out in pain, bleeding profusely, and he sighed as he stroked his abdomen: "I have been in the army, the first time I hurt Shishi, the harm is nothing like this. It is not a pity for a man to die, but I wish I could sweep away the Central Plains from the Lord. Xun Hang bamboo and silk ears!" Having said that, he died.Wen Zheng and the three armies lost their voices in mourning, and they were buried in a coffin.Yijia is careful and sticks to it.

But it is said that Zhang Ziming crossed the water pass in a small boat at night, and traveled for nine days at dawn and night before arriving at Niuzhudu and landing.After another four days, I arrived in Luzhou, went to see Taizu, and asked for help. Taizu said: "This thief took advantage of my emptiness to take Jiangxi, which is very hateful." Because he asked, "How is the military situation?" Ziming replied. "Although there are many soldiers, there are also many dead. At this time, the river is drying up, and the warships of the thieves are not used; Kuang Shi has been short of food for a long time, and the soldiers will be destroyed as soon as they arrive." Taizu told Ziming to return first, saying: "But if you stick to it for one month, I will take it." Ziming resigned from the tent, and returned to Hukou, where he was caught by Youliang patrols and sent to Youliang's tent. Ziming showed no fear.Chen Youliang asked him, "If you recruit Wenzheng to come down, he must be of great use." Ziming thought to himself, "If you don't obey, you will miss the important military and state affairs. It's better to just accept it and go to the city to be a district office." Then he replied: "This is the best." Youliang was overjoyed, and named Ziming the post of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.Ziming thanked him and said, "wait for me to recruit him to surrender." Then he walked to the edge of the city and shouted, "the former Mongolian marshal ordered him to go to Luzhou to make a statement. The lord ordered: "Marshal guards the city, Now I will command the soldiers to come here.' Unexpectedly, I will return to Hukou and be captured by the Han soldiers. You forgive me and ask me to recruit the marshal to surrender, so I pretend to get away and come to see the marshal to tell the truth. I must die at the hands of the thieves today. Hand, I hope that the Marshal will serve the country faithfully and rule the world with the Lord!" After saying this, he dismounted from his horse and crashed into a step and died.Youliang said angrily, "I was seduced by this guy." He ordered the owls on the left and right to show their heads and hang them outside Nanchang city for public display.

But Taizu heard that Nanchang was besieged, and because he returned to Jinling, he gathered all the generals to discuss: "I want to save Jiangxi now, but I am afraid that Lu Zhen, Zhang Qiu, and Zuo Junbi will attack me; I also heard that Zhang Shicheng raised 200,000 troops and invaded Changzhou. The county, Tanghe, etc. did not win the battle. Like this. How can the second route soldiers try to deal with the enemy?" All the generals said: "Jiangxi is still far away from here. The people in the area around Suhu are now fertile, so it is better to attack first. Wait for the soldiers Cheng Ping recovers, and tries his best to attack Youliang, and Jinling has no trouble with elbows and armpits." But Liu Ji said: "Shicheng defends his own bullets. Although he invaded the southeast today, there are Li Chengxiang, Tang Dingchen, Geng Wenbing and other companies resisting. If Lu Zhen, Zhang Qiu, Zuo Junbi, etc. take advantage of the false attack, they can leave one general with 50,000 troops and station them in Huaixi, and the two thieves will not be afraid. But Youliang is in the upper class, and his name is not correct, so it is appropriate Get rid of the Chen family first, and then get rid of Shicheng, and take what you have in your bag." Taizu thought for a while and said, "Chen Youliang is light-hearted and arrogant, and he likes to make trouble; Zhang Shicheng is cowardly and small, so he has nothing to do; if you attack the soldiers first Sincerely, Friendship will definitely attack Jinling from the empty country." The attack has its own sequence, and the military division has seen it very well.Because Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong were ordered to send 100,000 troops, and then another 100,000 Huaixi navy came together to save Jiangxi and capture friendship.On a certain day, he crossed the river from Niuzhu and went westward against the current.

At this time, it was the middle of July in the 23rd year of Guimaoqiu.Taizu was riding a dragon boat, but there were Wang Yi, Song Lian, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, etc. in the boat. Taizu said to the generals: "The autumn river is bright and bright, and suddenly there is a strong feeling. Qing and others can be used as a word to remember the autumn river." The scenery." Wang Yi wrote it with a pen, and Taizu took it to see, and he wrote: the reed flowers are white, the maple leaves are red.The twigs withered by frost are green and red with clear waves; dew drops and residual lotus, half white and half yellow floating on the water.The fishing boat swings wildly, the business rhyme penetrates the blue sky, the painted boat shakes lightly, and the net pearls gather in the clear water.And if there are thousands of cold clouds, returning crows fly down to the pond at dusk; in a cloud of snow, wild herons perch on Pingzhu.Yellow flowers and golden animal eyes on the shore, red leaves on tree heads and fire dragon scales.

Taizu looked at Bi Zan and said: "Write the scenery of the Autumn River directly, excellent, excellent!" Song Lian also wrote a poem:
