Ma Xiuying cheered up and returned to Guo's mansion, planning to quietly go back to the room to rest, but a servant stopped her and told her to go to Guo Zixing's study. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When she met Da Zhang's on the road, Ma Xiuying wanted to pretend not to see it, but Da Zhang's said in a weird way: "Oh, you're back." Now you are busier than the master, and the master will send someone to wait for you when he sees you. ”

Ma Xiuying finished the salute without humility or arrogance, and said: "It is Xiuying's internal matter to share the worries of her father-in-law, and it is not a matter of being busy or not, I have already reported to my father-in-law before I leave the house, if my wife has an opinion, I will not go out of the house again." Guo Tianxu should also report to the army, and in the future, he will trouble him to report directly to his father-in-law. ”

Although Da Zhang did not personally see the scene of the Red Turban Army and the Yuan Army fighting, but this time Guo Zixing lost his armor and fled back to the city, which has been spread all over the danger, she almost lost her husband, how could she still let Guo Tianxu go to the military camp to commit danger, under the pretext of letting Guo Tianxu take care of Guo Zixing, Guo Tianxu has been left in the mansion and not let him go to the military camp to report. At this time, Ma Xiuying stabbed her with words, and really blocked her speechless, and shouted angrily: "What decision do I make as a woman about the master's affairs, why don't you hurry up to the study to see the master." If you dare to instigate my son to go to war in front of the master, I will carefully peel your skin!"

"If it weren't for Madame's insistence on holding me to speak, I would have seen my father-in-law. Ma Xiuying stopped talking to Da Zhang's anymore, and left with her head held high, so angry that Da Zhang's scolded again and again in the back.

It is said that Guo Zixing fled back to Haozhou City and rested for several days before recovering. The lesson of the rest of his life after this catastrophe taught him that it was not that our army was ineffective, but that the enemy army was too cunning. Cheri didn't spend money to lure him with his nephew Cheri Buhua, but fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang led the soldiers to arrive in time, otherwise he might have to give his life outside Haozhou City. At the same time, he also realized the difference between the rebel miscellaneous army and the regular army of the Yuan Dynasty.

What is the most lacking talent today?

How Guo Zixing hopes that a figure similar to Zhuge Liang can appear to assist him as a shining star. But when he thought of talents, he was angry again, and he originally thought that Peng Da and Zhao Junyong were two talents, but they turned out to be two fools! If it weren't for their instigation, how could he have gone out of the city to meet the battle, not only losing troops and losing generals, but also letting Sun Deya and the others see jokes in vain.

Although he knew that Sun Deya and the others almost killed him, the Red Turban Army was still resisting the siege of the Yuan army, and Guo Zixing could not fall out with them immediately. Angry, he called Peng Da and Zhao Jun into the mansion and reprimanded them fiercely, remembering that Peng Da had performed heroically on the battlefield, he only scolded a few words. He was not polite to Zhao Junyong, and said sarcastically: "You said that Zhu Yuanzhang is a coward, he at least knew to kill me at the last moment." As for you, I just see you running faster than anyone else. I even heard that by the time I got back to the city, you had already taken a shower and had a meal...... You, I'm so disappointed, I originally planned to promote you to a thousand households. ”

Zhao Junyong was so sarcastic that he was embarrassed and left Guo's mansion stupidly.

On the way, Peng Da was still not interested, and said with a smile: "No wonder I looked at Brother Zhao and was refreshed, so I was still busy." In the future, when waiting for soup and being a thousand households, Brother Zhao will be even more idle. "There was some gap between the two of them when they worked together under Sesame Lee, otherwise Sesame Li would not have finished playing so quickly because of the uneven morale of the army. At this time, with the opportunity, Peng Da did not fall into the well and gloated.

"Lao Tzu can't be a thousand households, do you think you can be?" Zhao Jun was so angry that he smoked, obviously both of them were responsible, but Guo Zixing favored one over the other, only made fun of himself, and even looked at Peng Da's villain's face. He greeted the eighteenth generation ancestors of these two people in his heart, hum, there is no master here, there is a place to keep a master!

There is a reward for punishment, blaming Peng Da and Zhao Junyong, Guo Zixing plans to reward Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He, if it weren't for the efforts of these two people, Haozhou would be in danger, and his life would be even more unsafe. Such a great achievement must be rewarded, but he didn't think of rewarding the two of them yet, so he only said a word to Guo Tianxu, but Guo Tianxu strongly opposed it.

Guo Tianxu had long regarded Zhu Yuanzhang as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and at this moment, seeing that Guo Zixing wanted to reward Zhu Yuanzhang, he became more and more jealous, and stopped: "Although Zhu Zongqi and Tang Baihu have made great contributions to the establishment this time, they did not obey your command and violated the taboo of violating military orders by fighting privately. In the foolish opinion of the children, it is better to reward and punish them, and neither reward them nor punish them. He actually wanted to say that the two should be severely punished, but not only Guo Zixing would not approve of it, but the soldiers below would not be convinced, so he said that the rewards and punishments would be offset.

Ma Xiuying pushed the door in, just heard this sentence, and couldn't help sneering: "The eldest prince is really stupid, Zhu Zongqi and Tang Baihu have made great contributions and can't get any reward, if it were you, can you be convinced? You said that they violated the military order, I would like to know whether the military order is important or the life of the father-in-law is important, and I heard the soldiers say that the father-in-law did not seem to have given any military orders to President Zhu before the war." ”

Guo Zixing thought that before the war, he thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was timid and cowardly, and planned to punish him after the war, and his old face suddenly turned red.

Guo Tianxu gritted his teeth and vowed to smear Zhu Tang and the others to the end, "If the two of them tell my father the battle plan from the beginning, why would my father be defeated in the middle of the plan, they are obviously uneasy and kind, and it is a great favor for my father not to punish them." ”

"I heard that Zhu Zongqi had dissuaded his father-in-law at that time, but some people wanted to encourage his father-in-law to go to war, who was uneasy and kind? My father-in-law was in a desperate situation, and who was he who was not afraid of danger and did not hesitate to rescue his father-in-law from thousands of enemy troops? At this time, the eldest prince was full of food and drink, and he was in the mood to argue with me here about the rights and wrongs of Zhu Zongqi and Tang Baihu.

Ma Xiuying asked three times in a row, not only did Guo Tianxu have nothing to say, but even Guo Zixing was red-faced. If he was willing to listen to Zhu Yuanzhang's persuasion, he would not have lost so badly, if Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't come to save him, he would have fallen into the hands of the Yuan army a long time ago, and how could he have the opportunity to continue to be his generalissimo in Haozhou. Thinking of this, Guo Zixing made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "You should reward them well, Xiuying, how do you think they should be rewarded?"

Ma Xiuying said without thinking: "Of course, it is to promote officials and reward gold and silver, not only them, but also the father-in-law of the soldiers who died and was injured on the battlefield this time should also be given a certain amount of bereavement." ”

"Dad!" Guo Tianxu was in a hurry, if Zhu Yuanzhang was promoted to an official position, a thousand households would definitely not be able to escape, wouldn't it be higher than his position, how could he accept Zhu Yuanzhang to press him.

Ma Xiuying glanced at Guo Tianxu with a smile, "The eldest prince is not convinced, if you can make a contribution, your father-in-law will definitely promote you, but it's a pity that ......"

Although Ma Xiuying's later words were not finished, everyone knew it. Guo Zixing thought that he didn't see his son at a critical moment, but it was an outsider who saved him, he was faintly angry in his heart, and scolded Guo Tianxu: "Tomorrow you will go to the military camp with your brother to stay, and you are not allowed to cheat and play tricks in the house!"

Guo Tianxu was so angry that he was about to speak, Ma Xiuying rushed in front and said: "Shicai Xiuying met Mrs., Mrs. blamed Xiuying for returning home too late, since the eldest prince is going to the barracks, it is better to let him inspect the military discipline in the future, and Xiuying will not leave the house, so as not to make Mrs. angry." ”

Guo Zixing became more and more unhappy, "She is a woman who is pointing fingers at something, Tang He has asked people to tell me that you have also made a contribution to defending the city this time, thanks to you for giving the two of them a few good ideas." My father-in-law didn't misunderstand you, you are really a little goddess in my army, and you will have to give more advice to your father-in-law in the future. What's more, Tianxu is not as careful as you, how can he notice the situation in the military camp. Don't shirk it, help your father-in-law to see what else needs to be rectified in the barracks. If someone makes another irresponsible remark, you ask him to come to me. ”

Guo Zixing was so angry that he vomited blood, a Zhu Yuanzhang was about to step on his head, and now his father still said that he was not as good as Ma Xiuying, is he really that bad?

Ma Xiuying wanted to speak and stopped, "Xiuying still has something to tell, but I want to tell my father-in-law alone." ”

Guo Zixing immediately asked Guo Tianxu to retreat.

Guo Tianxu tried to find an excuse to stay, but Ma Xiuying simply didn't say a word.

Guo Zixing was annoyed, and finally drove Guo Tianxu out of the study.

As soon as Guo Tianxu left, Ma Xiuying said: "Through this war, I found that the generals in my father's army are not united enough, and they only care about themselves when disaster comes, which is not a good phenomenon. ”

When Guo Zixing's heart came to this, he nodded again and again, "What do you think I need to do to make the generals truly loyal to me?"

"In fact, you have clear rewards and punishments, and you have done a good job of treating your subordinates well, but those who come to join the army still need to be trained. I think that after this war, the quality of the army should be improved. Ma Xiuying praised Guo Zixing a few words, and then said the real purpose, "I think the most critical moment can reflect whether a person is loyal or not, Tang He and Zhu Yuanzhang are loyal to you, so you must not chill their hearts." In particular, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to risk his life to save you, which shows that this person is extremely loyal to you and worthy of your trust. You have to win over such a person, and it would be better if you could turn him into your own. ”

"Your own people?"

"Don't doubt that Tang He is your personal soldier, and don't doubt that the eldest prince is your son, but Zhu Yuanzhang is not related to you, isn't his own father-in-law dare to reuse him?

"Should I make him my own, do you think it's good for me to accept him as a righteous son?"

If Zhu Yuanzhang becomes Guo Zixing's righteous son, he will have nothing to do with himself. Ma Xiuying hurriedly said: "No, I think the eldest prince is very disgusted with Zhu Yuanzhang, if Zhu Yuanzhang becomes your righteous son, I am afraid that the eldest prince will be resentful and think that you are depriving him of his status." ”

"Then how do I make Zhu Yuanzhang my own?"

"You can also recruit him as a son-in-law and become a family completely. Ma Xiuying said seriously: "Since ancient times, there have been generals who have married their daughters to their subordinates in order to win over each other. The two brothers Tianxu and Tianjue are now not highly respected in the army, and you alone can't keep an eye on the army all the time, Zhu Yuanzhang has a little prestige in the army and is loyal to you, if he gets your appreciation, he will be loyal to you with all his heart. ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying, so I'll have to think about it. Guo Tianxu fell into deep thought.
