On the second day, Zhu Yuanzhang came to the big tent of the military camp in good spirits, and discussed with Liu Ji alone for a long time before convening the generals to discuss the matter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This time, all the generals had learned of Zhu Yuanzhang's decision to defend Yingtianfu, and no one put forward any more suggestions to escape or surrender, and they were all discussing whether they should take the initiative to attack or fortify the city. Some people suggested that troops should be sent to recover Taiping first; some suggested that it would be best for Zhu Yuanzhang to go out in person; and others suggested that he should defend Yingtianfu and wait for work.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion, and said slowly: "If Chen Youliang knew that I personally led my troops to meet the battle, he would definitely only send a part of his troops to contain me, and let the main force go east along the Yangtze River, and his main force would arrive at Yingtianfu in half a day." If I lead my troops back in a hurry, and let the soldiers travel hundreds of miles to fight them, the whole battle situation will fall into passivity, and won't the gains outweigh the losses? ”

The generals who suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang personally recruit blushed, and the others were silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang also said: "We still have to beware of Zhang Shicheng, if Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng really join forces to deal with me, it will be quite unfavorable to our army; but if I attack Zhang Shicheng first, and he is defending in western Zhejiang, Chen Youliang will definitely take the opportunity to go out, and I will suffer from the enemy." Unless our army defeats Chen Youliang first, then Zhang Shicheng will be frightened. But our army's sailors are not as good as Chen Youliang's sailors, do you have a way to lure him to the shore to fight?"

He thought about it all night, and felt that Ma Xiuying's words were reasonable, and he should not attack the enemy with his own shortcomings, since he could not fight on the water, he deceived Chen Youliang into going to land.

However, Chen Youliang is cunning and never trusts others, how can he be so easy to coax. The generals were lost in thought.

At this time, a subordinate general named Kang Maocai stepped forward to offer advice, "The subordinate was originally an old friend of Chen Youliang, and he was willing to write a letter of fraud to lure him here, and the prince of the country would take advantage of his unpreparedness and attack with all his might, and he would definitely be able to defeat him at that time." ”

Kang Mao was the soldier recruited by Zhu Yuanzhang when he attacked Yingtianfu, and he was well-known and reasonable, filial and heroic. Zhu Yuanzhang appointed him as the envoy of the Dushui camp and the left deputy commander of the former deputy chief of the army, which was a very important official position, specifically in charge of reclamation and water conservancy. Kang Maocai was grateful for Zhu Yuanzhang's appreciation, and at this time, seeing that he was worried about Chen Youliang's matter, he took the initiative to make suggestions.

Liu Ji's eyes lit up and he agreed: "Guogong, this plan is feasible!"

Other generals chimed in.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Kang Maocai to write a letter of surrender to Chen Youliang, and ordered his staff officer Fan Chang to write a letter to Hu Dahai, asking him to attack Xinzhou and contain Chen Youliang's back road.

The letter was sent, and everyone was relieved to wait for the news. However, Li Shanchang saw that Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Liu Ji in everything, and he was jealous, so he asked Hu Weiyong to quietly write a letter suggesting that Zhu Yuanzhang needed to guard against Kang Maocai, and beware that he really defected to Chen Youliang.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought so, so he took his wife to live in his house when Kang Maocai was not at home.

There is an old lady in the Guogong Mansion, Ma Xiuying naturally wants to ask, she was very angry after learning that Zhu Yuanzhang actually took Kang Maocai's wife as a hostage, and accused: "The person who said this is the one who has the heart to take refuge in Chen Youliang." As the saying goes, don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people. Kang Mao is a filial son, if you know that you use his mother to blackmail him, it will definitely anger him and backfire. Send the old lady back quickly, and explain it in good words, so as not to cause misunderstanding. ”

Kang Maocai's filial piety is famous. He lost his father at a young age, and his mother raised him with great pains, because he worked day and night, and his eyes grew white, causing blurred vision. In order to cure his mother's eye disease, he went bankrupt and sought medical treatment everywhere, carrying his mother on his back wherever he went. It's a pity that his mother's eyes are aging and can't be cured, so he takes his mother to his side and serves him all the time. It is said that his wife once had an argument with the old lady, and he actually threatened to divorce his wife for this trivial matter.

Such a person who is filial to the extreme, if Zhu Yuanzhang dares to touch his mother, he is really likely to fight with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly woke up and immediately sent the old lady back to the Kang family.

Ma Xiuying thought for a while, stopped him and said, "You picked up people in a hurry, it is estimated that you have alarmed Kang Maocai's family, and now you are sending them away in a hurry, so people will inevitably be suspicious when they see it." And the old lady is too old to withstand your toss, and let her stay in the house, you go and inform Kang Maocai, I have my own way to deal with it. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang left suspiciously, and he didn't know how Ma Xiuying could resolve this trouble, so that Kang Mao would not be resentful.

At this time, the old lady stayed in the house and was frightened, she was suddenly moved from her home to another place, because she could not see, she did not know that this was the Guogong Mansion, and she did not know whether the people here were good or bad, and she was so afraid that she would die, and she only hoped that her son would come to save her.

Ma Xiuying saw her panicked face when she entered the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab her hand and said softly, "The old lady is frightened." ”

"Who are you, where is this?" asked the old lady, shaking off her hand as if she were electrocuted.

"Don't be nervous, old lady, this is the Guogong Mansion, and I am Wu Guogong's wife Ma. Ma Xiuying spoke very slowly, so that the old lady could hear it clearly.

"Mrs. Ma?" the old lady was stunned, squatted down and saluted, "The old woman has seen Madame, dare to ask why she let the old woman come to the Guogong Mansion?"

"Old lady, please sit down," Ma Xiuying hurriedly held her up and said apologetically: "It's my father-in-law who is reckless." He heard that you have an eye disease, and specially asked a doctor to treat you, but he didn't explain it clearly, so you misunderstood. ”

Ma Xiuying told a white lie, this is the best excuse, if you tell the old lady the truth, the old lady is afraid that she will be frightened immediately, and Kang Maocai will be angry and resentful.

Of course, Ma Xiuying is not without purpose, she once met a Chinese medicine doctor in her previous life, that Chinese medicine is proficient in the treatment of cataracts, and once told her that white pannus are also symptoms of cataracts, which are scars left after corneal lesions of the eyeball, which will affect vision and are not easy to operate, so they can only use drug conditioning and acupressure to help reduce pannus. She remembered that the conditioning recipe seemed to have wild chrysanthemums, pearl powder, calcined cassia seeds, Zhu Weizi, psyllium, borneol, borax, etc., and she didn't remember all the acupressure, but she remembered the auricular acupoints, because she massaged the auricular acupoints for a while when we were talking.

The old lady thought that she had been troubled by Bai Fei for a long time, and when she heard that she could cure her eyes, she was overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "How dare you work for the Duke of Guogong and let the Duke and his wife bother." ”

Ma Xiuying asked her to sit down and asked the doctor in the house to examine her eyes, "You stay here for a few days, let the doctor treat you for a while, and see if there is any effect......
