Chapter 216: Guo Tianxu lost his life

Early the next morning, Yang Yunhua and Mrs. Wu came to visit Ma Xiuying's condition. Mrs. Wu finished a series of examinations on her pulse and abdomen www.biquge.info and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mrs., now Mrs. Wu's body and fetus are gradually returning to normal, and this time there is finally no danger." ”

Ma Xiuying was grateful, "Thanks to Mrs. Wu's wonderful rejuvenation, your female medical skills are comparable to Bian Que and Hua Tuo, it is really unimaginable, fortunately there are you on the ship this time, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Madame, if you hadn't been for everyone, you wouldn't have suffered this accident, and we should all be grateful to you. Mrs. Wu shyly explained: "The ancestor of the concubine was on duty in the imperial medical prison, and because she was unwilling to treat the Yuan people, she left the court incognito. The concubine likes to read some medical books since she was a child, and she knows a little when she grows up. ”

"Mrs. Wu doesn't have to be modest, it's not that you can keep this child. Now I still let you and Lord Wu be separated and stay to take care of me. Ma Xiuying smiled apologetically: "It's better to be like this, no matter whether this child is male or female in the future, please be the child's stepmother." ”

"This, this, how can it be done? The concubine doesn't dare to climb high. Mrs. Wu's eyes widened and she hurriedly excused herself.

Ma Xiuying feigned anger and said, "Do you dislike my child?"

Being able to have a relationship with Ma Xiuying is equivalent to having a relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang, how could Mrs. Wu be unwilling, and she shirked it a few times and agreed. Although she is honest, she is not a fool, and she knows that Ma Xiuying is thanking her in disguise. When she thought that her husband was an official under Zhu Yuanzhang, but she was the stepmother of Zhu Yuanzhang's child, she had an indescribable joy, and in the future, whether it was her husband's family or her mother-in-law's family, she would look up to her.

Yang Yunhua is a woman who has not yet left the cabinet, so naturally she will not envy Mrs. Wu for such an opportunity. She has always been good friends with Ma Xiuying, and when she heard that the person and the fetus were fine, she immediately smiled and was sincerely happy for Ma Xiuying.

Li Qi'er came in with a bowl of ginseng and black chicken soup, and said softly, "Madam, drink it while it's hot." This is a blood-nourishing and qi-nourishing soup boiled according to Mrs. Wu's recipe. ”

The maid beside her, Hongdou, said with a lot of mouths: "Madam, Aunt Li got up before dawn to boil soup, and it took two hours." ”

"Sister Qi'er, thank you for your hard work. Ma Xiuying was more and more grateful for Li Qi'er's goodness, thinking of her pitiful background, Ma Xiuying secretly vowed to take good care of her and not let anyone bully her.

"Master, master, good news!" Xunying arrived before he heard a sound, and when he saw so many people in the house, he couldn't help but be stunned, "The slave maid has only gone out for a while, Mrs. Wu and Aunt Li are here, and Sister Yang is also ......."

"Okay, what's the matter?" Ma Xiuying was not angry, she knew that Xun Ying was going to Zhumen to collect news, and something big must have happened in such an urgent appearance.

Mrs. Wu was very discerning, and stood up smartly, "Madame will rest first, and the concubine will retire." ”

Ma Xiuying saw that Li Qi'er and Yang Yunhua didn't want to leave yet, and said with a smile: "Since it's good news, everyone will listen to it when it comes out, and they will have fun together." She knew that Xun Ying was measured, and knew what to say in public and what to say in private.

"The master is going to attack Jiqing. Xun Ying came back to his senses, and his mouth turned like a storyteller, "The old man returned to Jiuzhou and was furious, angrily accusing Zuo Junbi of daring to sneak attack the Lou boat and causing his wife to have a fetal gas, and immediately ordered all the sailors to go out overnight to capture Zuo Junbi's lair at the mouth of the lake in one fell swoop, not only caught Zuo Junbi, but also captured Chen Yexian, who tried to attack Hezhou last time. These two people saw that they couldn't defeat our army and led their troops to surrender, but the old man hated Zuo Junbi to death, and still cut off his head, and only agreed to accept Chen Yexian's surrender. Now Chen Ye first took the initiative to ask to be a pioneer and personally lead the army to attack Jiqing......"

Mrs. Wu was in a hurry and grabbed her hand, "Miss Xunying, how is my master?"

Xun Ying said with a smile: "Mrs. Wu, please rest assured, Lord Wu is a civil official, at most he can use his pen, and my master will not send him to fight." ”

"That's good, that's good. Mrs. Wu let go of her hand and smiled embarrassedly, but that thought had already flown away.

In fact, not only is she worried about Wu Liang, Ma Xiuying and Li Qi'er are also worried about Zhu Yuanzhang. Ma Xiuying has a good impression of Mrs. Wu, but thinks that she is frank and cute, but she is a lover.

Xun Ying continued: "There is also good news, I heard that Huguang Pingzhang Aluhui originally led the Miao soldiers to garrison Yangzhou, and Jiqing leaned on the corner, but the Miao soldiers rebelled and killed Aluhui, and now Jiqing has been cut off from foreign aid, it seems that God is helping the master." Madam, when you take care of your body, you will be able to meet the master at Jiqing. ”

Ma Xiuying was overjoyed, the smoother the war, the less dangerous Zhu Yuanzhang was. She was still a little worried that those Miao people were arrogant and difficult to deal with, but who knew that God would help Zhu Yuanzhang and help him relieve his worries about his back.

Mrs. Wu and Li Qi'er also smiled happily and congratulated them repeatedly.

However, Li Qi'er couldn't help but glance at Xun Ying a few more times, and was shocked in her heart, Xun Ying was just a maid, and she actually knew so many military secret newspapers, it seems that the people around Ma Xiuying are not simple. Since then, she has become more and more cautious, not revealing the slightest true thoughts in front of outsiders, and even the maids and silkworms in her house have been kept in the dark.

Yang Yunhua has always been straight in front of Ma Xiuying, pouting and complaining, "Madam, if it weren't for you, I would have been on the battlefield this time." Hurry up and take care of your body, and we'll go to celebrate as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, yes, my General Yang, delayed you to kill the enemy. Ma Xiuying has nothing to do with this tenacious girl, she suspects that Yang Yunhua's head is to kill the enemy except for going to the battlefield, no wonder Fei Ju chased so hard, and he hasn't dealt with Yang Yunhua until now.

Mrs. Wu's eyes widened, and she looked at this scene in amazement. She imagined that Ma Xiuying should be tall and domineering, but who knew that she would be so approachable when contacted. The anxiety in my heart gradually disappeared, and in the days when I took care of Ma Xiuying later, I was no longer restrained, and I became a pair of good friends.

Bed rest is a very boring life, but for the sake of the baby in the womb, no matter how uncomfortable Ma Xiuying is, she has to endure it. She likes to read, but Xun Ying deprived her of this right on the grounds that pregnant women will hurt their eyes when reading books; she likes to eat spicy food, and Xun Ying also changed it to light food on the grounds that it is not good for pregnant women and fetuses......

This day is really unbearable, Ma Xiuying wants to protest countless times, but she is always defeated in the face of Xun Ying's concerned eyes. That's it, that's it, put up with it for another month or two, and when the child is born, he will be free.

However, no one expected that during the period when Ma Xiuying stayed in Hetou Fort to recuperate, an earth-shattering event happened on Zhu Yuanzhang's side - Guo Tianxu died.

It turned out that Chen Yexian did not surrender to the Red Turban Army sincerely, and was captured by Zhu Yuanzhang in order to survive, so he had to deal with it and pretended to take refuge.

Guo Tianxu is as small as his father Guo Zixing, and has always hated Chen Ye's attack on Chuzhou first. If Chen Ye hadn't forced Chuzhou first, he would not have asked Zhu Yuanzhang for help, so that the power would have fallen. He heard that Chen Yexian had actually taken refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, so he humiliated and suppressed Chen Yexian in the military camp in every way as Marshal Du.

Chen Yexian was unwilling to surrender, and then he was bullied and oppressed by Guo Tianxu, and in a fit of anger, he decided to turn back, and sent his henchmen to secretly conspire with Fushou, the general who retreated to Jiqing, to deal with the Red Turban Army besieging the city. After determining the plan of internal and external cooperation, Chen Ye first pretended to Zhu Yuanzhang that he was willing to make meritorious service and be the pioneer of the siege.

Everyone believed it, but they knew that this person had harbored evil intentions.

Guo Tianxu also deserved a short life, and he was very dissatisfied with Chen Ye's desire to be a siege pioneer first. Jiqing is a rich place, if Chen Yexian's subordinates rush in first to collect and scrape, his turn to go in may only be leftovers. In addition, the Yuan army retreated again and again and did not dare to fight head-on, which made him think that the Yuan army was at the end of its strong crossbow and was vulnerable to a single blow. So despite the dissuasion of his subordinates, he had to lead a unit as a vanguard army.

His wishful thinking played well, but he never imagined that it was his greed and arrogance that sent him to Huangquan Road.

Zhang Tianyou once persuaded: "I heard that Jiangnan Xingtai Imperial Shi Dafu Fushou has ordered to defend Jiqing, presumably the city wall defense is very tight, although the siege can make great contributions, but there is also a great danger." You better not take the risk yourself, just sit in the back and let someone else go. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang and other generals also persuaded a few words, the Red Turban Army now has many generals, where do you need him, the marshal, to fight in person.

Guo Tianxu refused to accept these advices, he lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, believing that the generals persuaded him to be the first to rush into Jiqing to collect and loot money; he thought that Zhu Yuanzhang persuaded him that he was afraid that he would make great achievements and re-establish his prestige in the army; he thought that Zhang Tianyou had betrayed him and became Zhu Yuanzhang's lobbyist; he could not even listen to the dissuasion and worries of the Da Zhang clan, and insisted on going out in person.

And Chen Yexian had already discussed with Fushou to deal with the Red Turban Army together, and he was also unwilling to give up the opportunity to be a pioneer.

The two of them talked about high-sounding reasons, but in fact, they each had ghosts, and they fought for the position of pioneer.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the two were arguing, so he simply asked them to lead an army to attack the city at the same time. Guo Tianxu led his troops to attack the east gate of Jiqing from Guantang, and Chen Yexian led his troops to attack the south gate of Jiqing from Banqiao.

Guo Tianxu didn't know that one of his feet had already stepped into the Ghost Gate, and he urged his subordinates to rush into Jiqing City before Chen Yexian.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yexian did not attack the south gate, but followed him in a circle.

When Guo Tianxu led his troops to the east gate, Fu Shou, who received the signal, immediately led his troops to meet the battle, and Chen Yexian also took the opportunity to launch an offensive from behind, and the Yuan army defending the city came to outflank Guo Tianxu's troops and killed them.
