As we all know, Liao Yong 'an was one of the founding stars of the Ming Dynasty, which helped Zhu Yuanzhang a lot. Zhu Yuanzhang cherished Liao Yong 'an's talent, so why didn't he abolish him later?

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was chaos in the world, especially in the Jianghuai area. In order to cope with such a harsh environment, Liao Yong An and his younger brother Liao Yongzhong, together, called volunteers to occupy Chaohu Water Village to fight against bandits and defend the village.

But in troubled times, it is impossible to survive for a long time by this way alone, and it is more reliable to find a wise Lord to rely on. At the same time, Zuo Junbi, the general of the Southern Red Scarf Army Uprising Army, occupied Luzhou, which is now Hefei, Anhui Province, and Chaohu Lake is in Hefei today. In this case, the living environment of the Liao Yong 'an brothers is becoming more and more embarrassing.

In the fifteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, in May of 1355, Zhu Yuanzhang led an army to successfully conquer Chuzhou and Hezhou, and was preparing to cross the river and develop southward, but he suffered from the lack of a qualified water army.

Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation has always been very good, so Liao Yong 'an quickly took his younger brother Liao Yongzhong and his Chaohu Navy to take refuge. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed. He personally enlisted troops and led them to Chaohu Lake, where he defeated Zhong Cheng, Man Zi and The Hague in the Yuan Dynasty.

In the process of returning to the army and returning to the state, I met the water army of the Yuan Dynasty. Liao Yong 'an and others made full use of the shortcomings of the Yuan Army's water boat, which was too big and inconvenient to advance and retreat. They personally operated their own boats to advance and retreat freely, and successfully defeated the Yuan Navy.

It was because of these water wars that Lao Zhu made up his mind to launch the battle of crossing the river and develop his power to the south. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liao Yongan were in the same boat.

Liao Yong 'an asked Zhu Yuanzhang where he wanted to dock, and Zhu Yuanzhang replied that he was quarrying. As a result, Liao Yong 'an drove straight past, stormed, and the defenders of quarrying fled. Lao Zhu successfully won quarrying, Taiping, Wuhu and other areas, and Liao Yong 'an was awarded the general manager of Guan Jun for his work.

He played an outstanding role in the subsequent battles against the Water Village in The Hague and the sneak attack on Qing Ji, so he was quickly promoted to the unified army of Marshal Kang Yi.

Then, Liao Yong 'an led the army to help the big troops win Zhenjiang, Taisha, Jintan, Changzhou, Xuanzhou and Chizhou. And every battle has a more eye-catching style of play.

However, in a battle to recapture Yixing in the 18th year of the late Yuan Dynasty, Liao Yong 'an was unfortunately captured by Lu Zhen, the Ministry of Zhang Shicheng, because he pursued the enemy too deeply.

Zhang Shicheng cherishes Liao Yong 'an's talent. He wants to have it, but Liao Yong 'an just doesn't agree. And at this time, General Xu Da captured Zhang Shide, Zhang Shicheng's younger brother.

Zhang Shicheng is a very filial person who attaches great importance to family ties, so he sent someone to propose to Zhu Yuanzhang that Liao Yongan's life be exchanged for Zhang Shide's life. But Zhu Yuanzhang rejected this suggestion and killed Zhang Shide. Liao Yong 'an finally failed to come back and died directly in a prison in Zhang Shicheng.

Liao Yong 'an was very loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang and helped him a lot in the early stage. Why did Zhu go to extinction? In fact, the reason is very simple. Zhang Shide is just a brother of Zhang Shicheng, and Liao Yongan is just an ordinary general under Zhu Yuanzhang.

Trading Zhang Shide for Liao Yongan is a loss-making business, and Zhu Yuanzhang will never agree. It's a pity that Liao Yong 'an died in prison like this, which is too wronged. If he can live to the founding of the People's Republic, his achievements may not be worse than his brother Liao Yongzhong!
