第一回:大战九里山 陈友谅兵退金鸡岭,与吴王朱元璋相约来年端午佳节龙舟大会。照这样说,没有别的事啦?这个时候怎么会没有事啊!元朝大都路顺帝下道圣旨,命山东全省军门壳郎铁木耳王宝宝兵进金陵。王宝宝接了圣旨,吩咐兄弟、山东济宁州守将王善龙挂牌兵进金陵,但却不急于发兵。不料,王善龙牌子挂出后,金陵宁国府守将得讯,马上行文到皇城金陵,说元朝兵进宁国府。军师刘伯温得讯后,连夜派一员差官带一角文书到江西鄱阳湖康郎山上交给元帅徐达,请元帅派军将先发制人,出兵攻打济宁州。 差官到达康郎山,正巧元帅徐达带领大军从鄱阳湖退到康郎山。小兵到大营报案元帅,说:“皇城护国军师刘伯温行文到。”“命他进来。”差官踏进来,叩见元帅毕,呈上行文,元帅徐达接过行文,拆开看后,对朱元璋一一奏明,然后问汤和,常遇春二位招讨:“哪位招讨愿领兵兵进济宁州?”汤和性子慢,听徐达问,低头思忖,常遇春爽快,...
