"Zhang Shicheng, this thief actually sent someone to kill my brother-in-law? The Shang Yu brothers are still alive and dead, and there are no corpses? Zhu Yuanzhang was about to eat, but when he heard a secret soldier kneeling down with a pale face, he couldn't help but be furious.
"This thief not only surrendered to the Yuan Court, but also promised to surrender our army with heavy profits some time ago, and Chen Erbao, the 'yellow envelope' who surrendered to our army, is really annoying and hateful. Now he is even killing my henchmen and brothers, and his heart can be punished! The order goes down, and immediately raises the account in the Shuaifu, and I will immediately fight against the thief. Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly furious, and the grudge with Zhang Shicheng broke out completely in a day.
"Yes, Generalissimo!" The secret soldier's pale face immediately became slightly better, and he stood up and quickly ran out.
"Although the four cities have just been taken, but Brother Xu Daxian is the closest to the Zhang thief, and he can be raided and taken, not to mention that I sent an envoy to make peace with the Zhang thief before, this thief actually detained the people I sent, this time there is no reason to be patient, otherwise how can I, Zhu Yuanzhang, stand in the world, will be laughed at by the world." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes shot a cold light, and as for the meal that had just been served, he abandoned it and walked away.
The conflict between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng occurred not long ago. Chen Baoer, the leader of the "Yellow Packet Army" who had originally surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang, suddenly defected, so that Ji captured the generals sent by Zhu Yuanzhang and surrendered to Zhang Shicheng. At first, he didn't want to fall out with Zhang Shicheng, so he sent someone to send a letter to Zhang Shicheng, flattering Zhang Shicheng with the words "Kui Huan and Dominating", hoping that the military horses of the two sides would "not have to provoke". Zhang Shicheng had recruited many literati at this time, and some literati explained that Zhu Yuanzhang compared himself to the emperor, and Zhang Shicheng deeply hated Zhu Yuanzhang for comparing him with "Kui Huan" in his letter, so Zhu Yuanzhang would not become "Han Guangwu" Liu Xiu. Because of this reason, Zhang Shicheng detained Zhu Yuanzhang's envoys and refused to make peace.
A wave of unsettled, and now send troops and horses to infiltrate the territory to assassinate Shang Yu, one of the people Zhu Yuanzhang relies on the most, which has made Zhu Yuanzhang unable to endure any longer, the other party sent people to enter quietly, obviously fearless, if it is allowed to go on like this, I am afraid that many of Zhu Yuanzhang's generals will have grievances, although this is not a good opportunity for Zhang Shicheng to use troops, there is the Yuan army in the north, Chen Youliang in the west, and Fang Guozhen in the south, but Zhu Yuanzhang has no choice at this time.
"Changzhou, I will take it!" Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the hall at this time, seeing that his figure trembled slightly, obviously extremely angry.
Several soldiers in the hall looked at the generalissimo in shock, and said in their hearts: "The generalissimo has not been so angry for many years, and at this time, he is so angry for the order of Shang Yu County?" ”
Just when Shang Yu was so frightened that he couldn't move, he saw two rabbits suddenly rushing out of the dry grass not far ahead, quickly fleeing and jumping towards the south, and then the dozen or so wolf dogs also quickly chased after the two rabbits.
"It's strange, the rabbits weren't scared away when I came here, and the wolfhounds didn't run out until they came at this time, what a miracle!" Shang Yu secretly shouted that it was dangerous, but fortunately, the appearance of two rabbits diverted the attention of the wolf dog, otherwise it would inevitably be discovered by the Yuan army.
Although the two rabbits jumped fast, there were many wolf dogs, and they were chased and intercepted by the dogs and bitten by the throat after a while, while Shang Yu quickly retreated in the forest at this time, only to hear the sound of several horses outside the forest, and the shouting of the Yuan people.
"Hooray, I didn't expect these wolfdogs to be attracted by the smell of rabbits, so much so that they disturbed your interest in shooting that deer!" A voice came, and it seemed very thick.
"Qing family! You also know that this hunt is for the foreign ministers, in fact, where do I like to ride and shoot? Now that the precise eight-tone drum in my palace has just been half made, it was originally intended to be given to Concubine Ning, hey! The battle ahead is unfavorable, and I have to do this hunting move to strengthen the morale of our Great Yuan army. A voice came, and what this person said was actually Hermes-Epitek's words.
Shang Yu quickly retreated behind the woods after hearing a few sounds, but he didn't know that the forest here was only dozens of zhang wide, and after retreating quickly, he actually retreated outside the forest.
"Hey! You slave, what are you doing in the woods instead of waiting for Banzai to be summoned in the North Hunting Hall? Didn't the Captain of the Workers and Serfs mention that you should not go to the bridge? Now you're afraid you'll be punished when you go back. A voice immediately came from under a tree not far from Shang Yu's side.
This voice immediately startled Shang Yu, and he turned his face to see that an officer dressed as a centurion of the Yuan army was sitting on a chair, holding a sword in his hand and glaring at him angrily.
Seeing that Shang Yu didn't answer, the officer suddenly laughed and said: "Forget it, you slaves may become guests of Banzai one day, and it is not difficult for me to go back to your residence over there, maybe Banzai will summon you later, and your skills will be valued, then you will be lucky!" ”
As he spoke, the officer pointed in one direction and motioned for Shang Yu to come over, without suspecting Shang Yu's identity at all.
"Kitakarido? Oh, isn't that the Emperor's residence in the Northern Hunting Garden? Shang Yu saw that the officer did not doubt his identity at all, but he still refused to relax and walked in the direction pointed by the officer, and kept thinking about the row of buildings he was going to in his mind, and then he thought that he had run through the forest to the vicinity of Emperor Yuan Hui's palace, which was even more difficult to escape.
Behind the woods is the North Hunting Hall, which is made entirely of woods, covering a large area, and Shang Yu secretly hates why he doesn't hide on the mounds on the other side of the river, which is even more dangerous.
Looking at Shang Yu walking towards the North Hunting Hall, the centurion muttered: "There are thousands of such craftsmen, long live actually attach so much importance to these people, even if they come out to hunt, they don't forget to bring more than a hundred people, but these worker slaves are running around, and they can't kill or fight the ground!" ”
At this moment, a rider came from the road not far away, and shouted: "Long live the will, return to Dadu immediately, and all the workers and slaves will immediately gather and be sent back to Dadu by carriage." This person's face was yellow, but his voice was strong, and it sounded like the person who was talking to Emperor Yuan Hui, and his robe should be a third-grade official, but he didn't know what position he held.
"Yes, Lord Mozdal, the little one will go and give the order at once!" The centurion was overjoyed at what he heard, got up from his wooden chair, and ran to the North Hunting House.
When he passed by Shang Yu's side, he shouted: "Why don't you hurry up and go with me to take a car back to Dadu with the team, don't you want to stay here and eat grass?" ”
Shang Yu kept paying attention to the conversation between the two people behind him, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but secretly complain, and said in his heart: "This time I was misunderstood as a slave, what if it was debunked later?" ”
"Wait, this worker slave is just right here, hand him over to me, I will take him to see Banzai, and on the way back to the palace, I can just give Banzai a relief from boredom." This third-grade master suddenly spoke.
Shang Yu stayed on the spot for a moment after hearing this, a moment ago he was still thinking about how to escape, but now he was suddenly summoned to see Emperor Yuan Hui, this is simply too incredible.
