Chapter 289: The husband is sick and his wife is in charge
Ma Xiuying persuaded Guo Ninglian and the others to retreat, sat back at the head of the bed, and gently massaged Zhu Yuanzhang's temples, her strength was neither light nor heavy, and soon slightly relieved Zhu Yuanzhang's headache. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"You can take a break, it's been hard to press. Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, rested his head on her lap, and looked at the roof beam, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Compared to the pressure you are under, what is my luck?" Ma Xiuying did not let go of her hand, and said slowly: "It's just that the general will inevitably die before the battle, you have to mourn and change and relax." If you faint today, you will frighten the soldiers and us in the army, so don't scare us like this in the future. ”
"Alas, when I think of the two generals, Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng, I feel sad. Moreover, Quzhou may not be able to defend itself from the mutiny between the two states, so how can this be good? With Zhang Shicheng on the left and Chen Youliang on the right, the Yuan army is eyeing the enemy, and now the Miao army is also rebelling, and I am really embattled. Zhu Yuanzhang was paralyzed and motionless like a deflated ball, and this blow had a great impact on him.
Ma Xiuying conveyed the generals' operational arrangements to him, "Don't worry, Wenzhong has already sent He Shiming, Guo Yanren and others to quell the rebellion, and Zhang Deji has also rushed from Xinzhou, I believe that this mutiny will be quelled soon." ”
"When I catch Jiang Ying and the other rebel thieves, I will definitely let them sacrifice Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng with blood!" Zhu Yuanzhang threw a fist into the air viciously, as if Jiang Ying and the others were standing opposite him.
Ma Xiuying helplessly persuaded: "Don't get excited, otherwise you will have a headache again in a while." ”
At this moment, Xun Ying hurriedly walked in and winked at Ma Xiuying, "Madam, there's something going on outside......
"What can't you know from me?" Zhu Yuanzhang sank his face. Xun Ying dared to hide in front of him, where did he put his master?
Xun Ying hurriedly knelt down and said: "Qi Yu Guogong, Gongzi and Gongzi are frolicking in the courtyard, Gongzi is crying, Biao Gongzi can't coax him, so he has to ask someone to invite Mrs. ”
Ma Xiuying smiled, "Don't be angry, I told them not to disturb your rest, and tell me directly if there is something." As she spoke, she asked Li Qi'er to come and talk to Zhu Yuanzhang and walked out by herself. Xun Ying came to see Zhu Yuanzhang in the house, there must be an urgent event that cannot be handled, and she did not dare to delay at all.
"Where are you going?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, his head suddenly leaving the soft place, very uncomfortable.
"The two children are in trouble, I have to go out to take a look? Ma Xiuying stopped, and just as Li Qi'er entered the door, she told Li Qi'er to take care of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not doubt him, and advised: "Boys were naughty when they were young, don't be too strict, don't blame Dian'er too much." ”
"Got it, I don't dare hit your precious son. Sister Qi'er accompanied Guogong to relieve her boredom, and I will come back when I go to see it. Ma Xiuying chuckled, left the room, and when she went out, her face became serious, and she walked quickly towards the living room under the leadership of Xun Ying.
Li Shanchang was anxiously pacing back and forth in the living room, and when he saw Ma Xiuying, he hurriedly saluted, "Madam, I heard that Guogong has woken up? ”
"Guogong is in poor health, tell me to listen. ”
"You ......" Li Shanchang hesitated.
"Can't Mr. Li trust me? Or do you think I'm a woman and a Taoist family can't help?"
"This ......" Li Shanchang swallowed, of course he knew how powerful Ma Xiuying was, but his allegiance was to Zhu Yuanzhang, not Ma Xiuying, in this world where men are superior to women, he will still subconsciously reject women who are too strong. Moreover, Ma Xiuying warned him when he met him for the first time, which made him slightly unhappy. Sometimes people's first impression is very important, if you leave a bad impression for the first time, it will hardly change how you make up for it in the future, so Li Shanchang does not particularly respect Ma Xiuying in his heart, but is a little jealous of Ma Xiuying.
"No matter how important your news is, the world is big, the country is the biggest, although he has woken up, his spirit is very poor, I won't let you disturb him. Now the situation is precarious, and Guogong's body cannot go wrong in the slightest, if he is stimulated again, who can bear the responsibility? I know a little bit about his thoughts. If you trust me, you might as well speak up, and we will discuss it together, and if you really can't make up your mind, I will go and ask him again, and if you don't trust me like this, then Manager Li will ask him back. Ma Xiu was very impatient and resolutely disagreed with Li Shanchang seeing Zhu Yuanzhang. As soon as she saw Li Shanchang's worried face, she knew that it must not be a good thing, how could Zhu Yuanzhang be stimulated again in this situation.
The news brought by Li Shanchang was indeed urgent, but it was useless if he couldn't see Zhu Yuanzhang, and after weighing the two sides, he had to tell Ma Xiuying first.
Neither of these pieces of news is good news.
First, Chen Youliang fled from Longjiang by boat, seeing that he could not escape the pursuers, but encountered reinforcements led by his younger brother Chen Youren on the way. Zhang Desheng was eager to chase the enemy, and was accidentally plotted by Chen Youliang's reinforcements and was seriously injured and died. Liao Yongzhong, Hua Yunlong and others were extremely sad and angry, and they sacrificed their lives to charge, and in a bloody battle, Chen Youliang was defeated. However, Chen Youliang fled back to Jiangzhou, and it didn't take long for him to gather the old troops to make a comeback, and he occupied Anqing for a while.
Second, Jiang Ying and other Miao generals were pursued by Zhu Wenzhong after killing Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng, and these people were panicked like lost dogs, and they actually took refuge in Zhang Shicheng.
When Zhang Shicheng learned that the Miao army had rebelled and Zhu Yuanzhang's army was in chaos, he immediately sent his brother Zhang Shixin and the general Lu Zhen to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to surround Zhuquan.
After hearing Li Shanchang's news, Ma Xiuying frowned, and thought for a long time before saying: "Manager Li, these two pieces of news are very important, and they should indeed be informed of the decision of the national government. But these two pieces of news are not good, Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng's flanking attack is very unfavorable to our army, I am afraid that Guogong will be even more angry after hearing about it, which will affect his physical recovery. In particular, the death of General Zhang Desheng must not be known to him now, and he can no longer bear the grief of losing his subordinates. ”
Li Shanchang rushed to inform Zhu Yuanzhang as soon as he got the news, but when he heard Ma Xiuying say this, he couldn't help but hesitate, Zhu Yuanzhang fainted today because of the death of Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng. Just like Ma Xiuying said, the world is big, Zhu Yuanzhang is the biggest, and he doesn't dare to risk stimulating Zhu Yuanzhang again.
Ma Xiuying's eyes were stunned, and she said decisively: "In this way, don't tell Guogong about General Zhang Desheng for the time being." Manager Li, please help me inform General Tang, General Xu, General Chang, General Feng, Mr. Liu and others to come, and we will discuss a battle plan first, and then I will ask the Duke of Guo to decide. ”
Li Shanchang had nothing to do, so he had to inform Zhu Yuanzhang's henchmen that he would come to the Guogong Mansion to discuss matters.
