The vast expanse of Poyang Lake has been stained red with blood, and it is littered with shipwrecks and dead soldiers. The Han army fought and retreated, and the Jiangzuo army pursued closely.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew the floating objects on the water in the direction of the Han army.

"Heaven help our army!" This is an excellent help for Jiang Zuojun, and before Zhu Yuanzhang gave the order, Chang Yuchun and others took advantage of the wind to catch up. The confidence of the soldiers doubled and beat the water dogs.

The arrows and artillery fire were launched as densely as raindrops, and Chen Youliang, who was under the wind, was extremely embarrassed, but fortunately, Zhang Dingbian desperately protected him, so he led a small part of the fleet to break out of the encirclement.

That night, Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the victory to enter the left and control the upper reaches of the river.

The two sides fought again in Baozhuji, and the battle lasted for three whole days, and the Han army was repeatedly defeated, and the internal military spirit was shaken, and the strength was even weaker. Chen Youliang gradually lost confidence and retreated all the way to the poppy.

The poppy mouth is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, the terrain is steep, the waterway is narrow, and the lake can only accommodate two or three boats to drive together, and if there are too many, they will collide. Zhu Yuanzhang's army chased here, unable to sail into the battleship, so it anchored outside the mouth.

Chen Youliang may have been scared by Zhu Yuanzhang, or he may have not come out of the shadow of defeat, no matter how Zhu Yuanzhang declared war, he did not dare to come out to fight.

Zhu Yuanzhang had nothing to do, waited for a few days, and was worried about Ma Xiuying, so he had to leave the soldiers to surround the poppy mouth and return to Yugan to visit Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying had woken up not long after Zhu Yuanzhang set out on the expedition, but she didn't have the strength to get up, so she asked Zhu Yuanzhang about the situation as soon as she woke up.

Xun Ying cried with joy, fed her some water, and began to talk about what had happened in these days, "Guogong's injury does not matter, he can walk on the ground, he has guarded you for several days, until he is sure that your life is safe, he will not go out of the palace to supervise the battle." These days, there has been good news, and I heard that Chen Youliang was beaten to the ground......"

Ma Xiuying listened quietly to Xun Ying's chatter. When she heard that Zhu Yuanzhang stayed awake all night to wait for her, and moved the army to Yugan, her heart was sour and sweet; When she heard that Zhu Wenzheng was at the risk of violating military discipline to visit her and came up with a way to use alcohol to reduce fever, she felt infinite emotion in her heart, and a thousand words turned into one sentence, "Alas, this father and son are ......"

Xun Ying saw that she was uncomfortable with her head up, so she put a cotton pillow on her.

Ma Xiuying saw that Xunying was also wrapped in bandages on her shoulders, and hurriedly asked, "Are you also injured?" ”

"The slave maid is just bruising and not getting in the way, but the master you ......" Xun Ying couldn't help but shed tears when she thought of what Dr. Xu said, how could she tell Ma Xiuying about that incident.

"Don't cry, it's the greatest joy that we can live." Ma Xiuying said happily, the moment she fainted, she really thought that this life was coming to an end again, and she was still thinking about whether she could change the way of death in the next life, and stop being shot or arrowed.

"The slave is happy," Xun Ying wiped her tears and blamed herself: "If you and the prince have a mistake, the slave and maid will be to blame." At that time, if she hadn't made a splash to attract the attention of the Han army, everyone would not have suffered these crimes, but fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying finally saved the day.

"It has nothing to do with you, after General Han Cheng threw himself into the water, the Han army thought that Guogong fell into the water, even if you didn't make any movement, they would search the river."

Ma Xiuying couldn't stop panting when she talked too much, and Xun Ying hurriedly said: "Master, you don't talk less, don't be tired." The slave and maid asked you to bring you a bowl of porridge. ”

Dr. Xu said that Ma Xiuying could not be allowed to chew the food, otherwise the wound might be painful, so all the liquid food that Xunying fed Ma Xiuying these days was.

After eating something, Ma Xiuying felt a little strength in her body, and wanted to sit up, but after lying down for a few days, her bones were about to fall apart, but as soon as she moved, the pain of tearing spread all over her body, and the pain made her grin.

"Can't move! Can't move! Xun Ying shouted anxiously, "If you feel uncomfortable, I'll put you on a pillow again, don't move!" ”

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang entered the door, he heard Xun Ying's shout, and hurriedly rushed to the bed, "Madam, madam, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Guogong, are you back?" Ma Xiuying was surprised, "Did Chen Youliang catch it?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and sighed, "Chen Youliang's guy actually hid in the mouth of the poppy, where the terrain is long and narrow, the whole fleet cannot sail in at the same time, and if you attack alone, you will be ambushed by the Han army, and the army has been stalemate for a few days and there is no progress, I can't rest assured that you will come back to see you first." ”

Ma Xiuying knew that Poppy Pass was a narrow strip of land, which was very unfavorable for the march of the sailors. But this is not without a breakthrough, a soldier of Chen Youliang wants to eat, they can't hide in the poppy mouth forever and not come out; Second, Chen Youliang is narrow-minded and thinks of himself as high, as long as he stimulates his vital points, he will not worry that he will not come out to fight.

Ma Xiuying was just about to speak, but Zhu Yuanzhang held her hand and stopped: "Your injuries have only improved slightly, don't waste energy thinking about these things anymore." Chen Youliang is no longer worried, sooner or later he will be defeated by me, I only hope you recover as soon as possible. You can stay in the house from now on, I don't want this to happen again. He didn't dare to reprimand Ma Xiuying now, but this habit of leaving the house without permission at every turn was really unacceptable, looking at the woman in front of him, he really wanted to beat her up and was reluctant.

Xun Ying was not convinced, and wanted to say that if it weren't for Ma Xiuying, it would be a question whether Zhu Yuanzhang could save his life this time. It's a pity that she is the master, and she can only slander these words in her stomach.

Ma Xiuying smiled and said, "I think of an interesting thing when I was a child. ”

"Okay, but I can't say it too long." Zhu Yuanzhang really had no choice but to sit on the edge of the bed and hold her hand.

Ma Xiuying talked about when she was a child and went to Suzhou with the Guo family to take refuge, and on the way to Suzhou, she encountered bandits and robbers.

Hearing that those bandits were stripped naked by Zhang Tianyou and the nursing home, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing, "It turns out that my wife was so powerful when she was a child, and those bandits were really unlucky when they met you." ”

Ma Xiuying blinked slyly, "Do you know the origin of those bandits, let me give you a hint, they claim to be from Hubei." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth strangely, in disbelief, "They, they can't be Chen Youliang and others, right?" ”

"Exactly, so you only need to send Zhang Tianyou to send troops this time, and you will definitely be able to provoke Chen Youliang out." After all, she was seriously injured, and Ma Xiuying felt low in energy after speaking, and her back and abdomen hurt badly, and she couldn't help moaning lowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang said distressedly: "Look at you, I said that I don't want you to worry about the war, but you are still disobedient." ”

"People just want to help you solve Chen Youliang's big trouble as soon as possible." The weak Ma Xiuying spoke like she was coquettish.

"I'll send Zhang Tianyou to the poppy mouth in a while, now you can rest in peace, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang's reproachful tone was doting, and he personally coaxed Ma Xiuying to sleep slowly. It wasn't until he was sure that she was completely asleep that Zhu Yuanzhang let go of his hands and covered her with a thin quilt, his eyes fell on the abdomen that was bandaged, he felt a cramp in his heart, and asked Xun Ying next to him in a deep voice, "Didn't you tell Mrs. about that?" ”

What's the matter? Xun Ying looked over and saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's hands and eyes were on Ma Xiuying's lower abdomen, and hurriedly replied: "The slave doesn't dare to talk much." ”

"Don't tell Madame in the future, lest she be upset." Zhu Yuanzhang decided to keep this secret forever, even if Ma Xiuying couldn't have children from now on, he wouldn't dislike it, not to mention that Ma Xiuying had already given birth to three sons for him. As soon as he thought of Zhu Biao's children circling around him, his heart became soft and urgent. My father and mother are not in the house, and I don't know if the children are okay, so I really want to fly to them immediately.
