Chapter 190: Sun Deya's trickery to borrow food
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already welcomed Sun Deya into the barracks, and asked with a haha: "What kind of wind actually blew Marshal Sun here, what a rare guest." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Sun Deya pretended not to hear his teasing, and said straight to the point: "Haozhou is short of grain and grass, so I specially came to borrow grain and ask General Zhu to complete it." β
Zhu Yuanzhang wrung his brows and prevaricated: "It's not that I don't want to borrow, but most of the grain has been shipped to Chuzhou, and I don't have much grain stored here." β
Sun Deya could not be dismissed with a word, he lowered his posture and said: "I know that this matter makes you embarrassed, but I believe that you will not bear to see Haozhou fall into the hands of the Yuan army, so that the people will be oppressed by the Yuan people again." Please put a little grain on your way to relieve the urgent need of Haozhou, and I will return it as soon as possible after the autumn harvest. β
Zhu Yuanzhang slandered, knowing that he was embarrassed and came to find Lao Tzu! He really didn't want to deal with a villain like Sun Deya, and Guo Zixing would definitely be angry if he knew that he lent Sun Deya food. But he can't watch Haozhou fall into the hands of the Yuan army, after all, Haozhou, Chuzhou, and Hezhou are interdependent, and if Haozhou falls, Chuzhou and Hezhou will not be peaceful. He hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay to borrow grain, but I have to tell my father-in-law that Marshal Sun will stay in the barracks for a few days." β
Sun Deya's face changed suddenly, and he said indignantly: "General Zhu is unwilling to borrow grain, why do you want to resign?" You know that I have a holiday with Marshal Guo, so it's strange that he is willing to agree! β
"Marshal Sun's words are wrong, my father-in-law is the commander of the army, how can I not tell him about such a major matter as borrowing grain." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything more, and ordered someone to take Sun Deya down to rest. He was not happy in his heart, Sun Deya really thought that he was a bully, and even made a threat, how could he look like he was begging someone to do something, let him hang him for a few days before speaking.
Sun Deya was so angry that he wanted to leave immediately, but he had no choice but to stay in the barracks unwillingly.
Zhu Yuanzhang invited the generals to discuss Sun Deya's borrowing of grain.
The generals were gossiping and talking, some people said that Sun Deya was a repeated villain who could not borrow, and some people said that Haozhou should be borrowed as a barrier to Hezhou.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't make up his mind for a while, and discussed some other things with the generals, and returned to Zhu's mansion after seeing that it was getting late. When he returned to the backyard, he didn't wait for Ma Xiuying to ask, so he told Ma Xiuying that Sun Deya had come to borrow grain.
Ma Xiuying knew about this in her heart, but she didn't show any flaws on her face, and asked calmly: "How does the starling plan to deal with this matter?" β
Zhu Yuanzhang expressed the opinions of the generals, and said: "Although Sun Deya is unbearable, but he didn't make any mistakes in guarding Haozhou, I want to use Haozhou to drag the Yuan army offensive, so I plan to lend him food, just because I am afraid that your father-in-law will not be able to explain it." β
Ma Xiuying nodded and agreed: "Haozhou is the barrier of Hezhou, and Sun Deya is guarding it, at least it can resist a part of the Yuan army. Although your stepfather hates him, he must be able to understand your situation. But Sun Deya is despicable and vulgar, you shouldn't have too much contact with him. β
"I'll save him, I'll send him away in a few days." Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and began to give Guo Zixing a book to explain the situation.
However, Ma Xiuying and Zhu Yuanzhang both overestimated Guo Zixing's strength, Guo Zixing received the letter, and when he heard that Sun Deya actually came to Hezhou to borrow grain, he immediately said angrily: "In the past, he forced me out of Haozhou, and now he still has the face to go to my subordinates to borrow grain, I really don't take it seriously." Come on, I will personally lead the army to Hezhou to catch this traitor! β
Zhu Yuanzhang originally just routinely informed Guo Zixing of this matter, but he didn't expect Guo Zixing to report it and come to arrest Sun Deya. He couldn't help but sigh to Ma Xiuying and said: "Your father-in-law is so small, now is the critical juncture of the Yuan army's large-scale attack, he does not lead the troops to resist the Yuan, but only cares about killing each other." If he killed Sun Deya, what good would it do him to lose Haozhou? β
Ma Xiuying was also disappointed by Guo Zixing's rat eyes, and said without hesitation: "You can't let them fight, your new regime has just been established in Hezhou, how can they stir up a miasma in Hezhou." Before your father-in-law arrives, you quickly let Sun Deya go. β
Zhu Yuanzhang went to persuade Sun Deya to leave quickly.
Unexpectedly, before this, Sun Deya also received the news that Guo Zixing was coming to arrest him, and he immediately wanted to avoid it.
However, his confidant staff advised: "Haozhou has less than one or two grains in stock, and if the marshal can't borrow any more grain, Haozhou will definitely be in danger." β
"When Guo Zixing arrives in Hezhou, I will be even more dangerous. The soldiers here listen to his orders, and we are opponents. If you don't leave now, when will you stay? Sun Deya was irritable, he also knew that it would be a big trouble to go back to face the Yuan army without food, but he could still escape if he couldn't beat the Yuan army, if he was caught by Guo Zixing, with the grudges of the two for many years, Guo Zixing would definitely not let him have a good end.
The staff officer said: "Commander, look at how Zhu Yuanzhang arranges, he is not as narrow-minded as Guo Zixing, if something happens to you in his territory, he will definitely not be able to explain to the world." β
Sun Deya shook his head, he couldn't gamble his life on Zhu Yuanzhang's character, "It's hard to say, after all, Guo Zixing is his father-in-law and his boss, what does Guo Zixing want to do, can he stop it?" Maybe he deliberately delayed the time and asked Guo Zixing to come and arrest me. β
The staff officer's eyes narrowed, and he came up with a plan, "In this case, the big marshal simply arrested him as a hostage, with him in hand, Guo Zixing will definitely throw a rat trap, and we can also exchange him for food." β
"Yes, as long as he is detained, he can not only exchange for food but also leave Hezhou safely, this plan is wonderful!" Sun Deya's expression perked up, and he immediately discussed with the staff how to catch Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that Sun Deya had planned to plot against him, and he honestly went to see Sun Deya, told the other party about his difficulties, and persuaded Sun Deya to leave Hezhou first, and talk about borrowing grain slowly.
Whether Zhu Yuanzhang sincerely let himself go, or pretended to be polite, Sun Deya didn't care. He happily agreed, and said that he would like to thank Zhu Yuanzhang for his hospitality in the past few days, and he will definitely repay Zhu Yuanzhang's care when he has the opportunity in the future.
After all, he still has to deal with each other in the future, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to get together and disperse, so he practiced for Sun Deya in Shili Pavilion outside Hezhou City. Originally, Xu Da and others wanted to follow, but Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said that the other party was only five or six people, and Hezhou was his own territory, so he didn't have to worry about it, so he only brought a few guards.
This is a bad thing, drinking a farewell wine is a habit to practice. Sun Deya asked his subordinates to restrain the eyes of the guards, and took the opportunity to put sweat medicine in the wine.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not doubt him, raised his glass and drank it all with Sun Deya, and when he was about to speak, he felt dizzy and weak.
Seeing this, Sun Deya suddenly buckled Zhu Yuanzhang, put the knife against his neck, and shouted to the guards who came up in a panic: "Don't come over, otherwise I will kill your general soldiers." β
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had no power to resist, Sun Deya's subordinates protected the two in the middle, and the guards had to take three steps back and glared at them, and one of the guards immediately jumped on the horse and galloped towards the barracks.
Sun Deya waved his hand and asked his subordinates not to care about the fleeing guard, he was originally going to take Zhu Yuanzhang as a hostage in exchange for food, and he happened to lack someone to go back to inform him.
When the generals of Hezhou received the news that Zhu Yuanzhang had been captured, their spirits were shocked, and Li Shanchang immediately sent troops to chase after him and asked people to inform Ma Xiuying.
A team of thousands of people rushed out of the city in a murderous spirit, and when they arrived at Shili Pavilion, they saw only a few bound guards and a letter.
Xu Da asked people to take the ashamed guards down, and when he opened the letter, he immediately scolded.
It turned out that Sun Deya didn't want to escape at all, he relied on Zhu Yuanzhang in his hand, and took the opportunity to open his mouth, and the letter not only mentioned that he would guarantee his safe departure with the state military, but also "borrowed" 500,000 stone grain by the way, and agreed to hand over one hand to one hand outside Hezhou City and one hand to exchange food within ten days.
The stakes are serious, Xu Da sent people to search for the whereabouts of Sun Deya and others, and at the same time sent people back to Li Shanchang and Ma Xiuying.
Ma Xiuying, who received the news, was furious, secretly scolded Zhu Yuanzhang for not having a long memory, and told him not to get too close to a despicable villain like Sun Deya, but he still fell into the trap of others if he didn't listen. Angry, she hurried to the barracks to discuss countermeasures with Li Shanchang and others, and asked Xunying to order the shadow guard to search and rescue Zhu Yuanzhang as soon as possible.
Sun Deya was very cunning, he came to Hezhou this time not only with five or six personal soldiers into the barracks, but also a thousand soldiers waiting outside the city. After capturing Zhu Yuanzhang, they retreated to a manor that had already been arranged in the suburbs. When Xu Da and others led the army to the manor, Sun Deya was not frightened in the face of the tense situation, and even invited the generals into the manor with a smile.
Xu Da pointed angrily with his knife, "My lord is kind to you, you actually use such a means of revenge, and don't release the adult quickly, otherwise we will definitely kill you here!" β
Sun Deya said slowly: "General Xu is a little restless, General Zhu is bold and righteous, I admire him, so I want to be close to him for a few days." When you bring the food, I will send him out unscathed. β
"Shameless!" Xu Da didn't want to talk to him more, so he wanted to send troops to attack.
Sun Deya's staff officer screamed: "My marshal doesn't want to embarrass General Zhu, but if you dare to hurt my marshal hair, don't blame me for being unkind to General Zhu!" As he spoke, he threw a robe worn by Zhu Yuanzhang at Xu Da's feet.
Xu Da suddenly stopped, leaned over and picked up his outer robe. Seeing that this was the clothes that Zhu Yuanzhang often wore, he was so angry that his eyes erupted with fire, his chest rose and fell violently, and it took him a long time to grit his teeth and order the soldiers to stand by. Before leaving, Li Shanchang told him to save Zhu Yuanzhang at all costs, even if Sun Deya's request was excessive, as long as he could exchange Zhu Yuanzhang's safety, he must agree.
The shadow guard was mixed in the soldiers and waited for an opportunity to find a way to rescue Zhu Yuanzhang, but the manor was full of Sun Deya's henchmen and soldiers, and outsiders couldn't get close to the inner house at all, plus Zhu Yuanzhang was unconscious at the time, and he didn't leave any clues when he was captured, and he didn't know where he was locked up, so the secret guard couldn't find a chance to rescue him after stepping on the spot near the house for a few days.
