Chapter 211 Hiding a secret

"Generals, the current predicament is indeed a headache."

"First of all, we must solve the problem of food and manpower. Therefore, we must find a way to break their fantasy."

"This is not just about alleviating the current difficulties, but also about long-term planning."

"The reason why Daxuan chose to pacify the Yellow Turbans who came south of us first is simply because they feel that we are at a disadvantage in terms of food and manpower."

"It can be broken in one battle!"

Zhong Yao's words were full of firmness and confidence.

It seemed as if there was an invisible force infecting everyone present.

Having said this, Zhong Yao's eyes suddenly became sharp.

He looked at Chang Yuchun behind Zhu Yuanzhang, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"General Chang is a good commander of the troops and is unrivalled in bravery, second only to General Meng Zhang."

"This is well known among the Yellow Turban Army."

"I think we can send a crack team, led by General Chang himself, to sneak behind the enemy lines, destroy their food supply routes, and seize their food and fodder."

"This will not only solve our urgent needs, but also deal a heavy blow to the enemy."

Obviously, although Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Tianxuan have now reluctantly put aside their prejudices and rely on each other.

But without affecting the overall situation.

Be able to trick the other party.

They are still very willing in their hearts.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally listening with great interest.

I heard Zhong Yao suddenly turn the topic to Chang Yuchun who was behind me.

This sudden change made Zhu Yuanzhang feel uncomfortable.

His expression turned ugly in an instant.

Chang Yuchun was a trusted general beside him, and one of the few generals under Zhu Yuanzhang who was capable of commanding troops.

He has always been trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Now, he and Zhang Tianxuan are officially cooperating sincerely.

Do this suddenly.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions.

As one of the only two leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, he cannot let his emotions affect the overall situation.

Every decision he makes now may trigger a series of chain reactions, so he must act with caution.

Despite this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help it.

He looked up at Zhang Tianxuan opposite him and Zhong Yao behind him.

His eyes are deep and sharp, as if they can penetrate people's souls.

Zhang Tianxuan and Zhong Yao felt the overwhelming pressure and their eyes narrowed.

But they didn't back down.

Seeing the attitudes of the two, Zhu Yuanzhang did not say anything.

Just took a heavy breath.

Suppress your inner emotions.

Then he looked deeply at Zhang Tianxuan opposite him and Zhong Yao behind him.

Chang Yuchun's ability to command troops was demonstrated during the previous battle in Luzhou.

Qiu Longteng of the front army opposite was leading his cavalry to raid the flank of the Yellow Turban Army.

It has been demonstrated vividly.

When Zhu Yuanzhang led his troops to resist Qiu Longteng.

Chang Yuchun under his command was one of the few people in the Yellow Turban Army who could keep up with Qiu Longteng's command rhythm.

In that battle, when Qiu Longteng led the cavalry to attack the flank of the Yellow Turban Army like a storm, the Yellow Turban Army fell into chaos for a time.

However, at this critical moment, Chang Yuchun stepped forward.

He quickly adjusted his deployment and commanded the troops with confidence, not only stabilizing his position, but also cleverly using the terrain and manpower advantages to launch a powerful counterattack against Qiu Longteng's cavalry.

It was precisely because of Chang Yuchun's calmness and excellent command that the Yellow Turban Army did not suffer any serious damage in Qiu Longteng's surprise attack.

In comparison, Zhang Tianxuan also has some outstanding talents under his command.

But his performance as a commander was much worse.

Although each of these extraordinary people has unique skills.

However, the lack of unified command and coordination often makes it difficult to exert maximum combat effectiveness.

Although Zhong Yao was a rare strategist, commanding the army was not his strong point.

Therefore, among the group of Yellow Turban Army currently heading south.

Generals like Chang Yuchun who are both brave and talented in command are extremely rare.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that Zhang Tianxuan’s subordinates might not really lack talented commanders.

It’s just that this talented person may be hidden by Zhang Tianxuan, who prevents him from showing his talents.

This conjecture had been lingering in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind for a long time.

Based on his observations during this period.

Most of the troops under Zhang Tianxuan's command are currently under the command of a captain named Gu Yillong.

The position of Gu Yillong in Zhang Tianxuan's army.

Although he is not as prominent as Zhong Yao and others, his talent and strength should not be underestimated.

When Gu Yillong took over the Yellow Turban Army assigned to Zhang Tianxuan.

This army has been selected by Meng Zhang.

Most of the soldiers who were strong and skilled in martial arts were selected by Meng Zhang to join his elite troops.

He followed Meng Zhang to stay in Luzhou and continued to confront Daqian.

What was left for Gu Yillong were just some ugly, old, weak and sick people.

However, even in such a situation, Gu Yillong still used his own way.

These soldiers were reintegrated and trained into a well-organized team.

What is surprising is that this Yellow Turban Army was trained by Gu Yillong.

In a short period of time, it has shown that it is not inferior to the Hongwu Ming Army that Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun have been carefully cultivating over this period of time.

Their performance on the battlefield, whether in offense or defense, demonstrated extremely high quality and strong combat effectiveness.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang have a deeper understanding of Gu Yillong's talents and strengths.

From a strategic perspective, it remains to be seen whether Gu Yillong can be compared with Chang Yuchun.

After all, strategic talents need to be fully demonstrated on a broader stage.

However, according to this performance.

In terms of ability in commanding and training troops.

Gu Yillong is definitely not weaker than Chang Yuchun!

Being able to train a seemingly hopeless team into such a powerful fighting force.

This in itself is enough to prove his extraordinary talent and outstanding strength.

The open and secret struggles between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Tianxuan have long become an unignorable scene within the Yellow Turban Army.

Although both of them were leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, the competition and suspicion between them never stopped.

After a long period of competition, they have a thorough understanding of each other's habits, strategies and even thoughts.

Just like two top chess players, every move of the game has already been anticipated by the other party.

At this moment, Zhang Tianxuan stuck out his butt.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew what he was going to say!

Now, Zhang Tianxuan is hiding so deeply.

The purpose of keeping a talented commander like Gu Yillong hidden is self-evident.

Even with his eyes closed, Zhu Yuanzhang could feel the undercurrent behind Zhang Tianxuan, wanting to give him a fatal blow at some critical moment.
