Dozens of soldiers rushed forward brandishing steel knives, but Shang Yu avoided these soldiers before his body flew over, and with a leap of his body, he entered the pavilion, grabbed Guo Tianxu in his hand, and put a dagger on Guo Tianxu's neck, shouting: "Who dares to step forward? If I come forward again, I will take the order of the marshal!" ”
This set of body studies was learned from Luo Biqing, but it was slightly changed by Shang Yu, and after Ma Xiuying's words, it was even more flexible. At the moment, Guo Tianxu was controlled in his hands, and this time the speed was extremely fast, and all the soldiers threw their rat traps, and immediately stopped and did not dare to step forward.
"Shang Yu, you want food! I will send someone to send it out immediately, it is a great rebellion for you to hold me hostage, and I will behead you afterwards! Although Guo Tianxu had some fear in his heart, he said sharply.
"The left deputy marshal in front is about to take the county town of An, the food in the army is about to run out, as the marshal, not only do you not think about the army, but you play chess with the right deputy marshal and eat snacks, the people of the world are waiting for the righteous army to drive the Yuan court out of the Central Plains, but you are doing such actions behind your back. Is this what a marshal should do? ”
"You must think that the righteous army is the army of your Guo family, but you have made a big mistake, this army is the army of the people of the Central Plains, if the left deputy marshal leads tens of thousands of troops to kill back, you and the right deputy marshal will definitely be used to ask for guilt, although I Shang Yu offended you this time, what does it matter if you are asked? The merits and demerits will be revealed to the world in the future, so why should I regret Shang Yu's death? Shang Yu said in a fierce voice.
Hearing what Shang Yu said, the soldiers gathered outside the pavilion unanimously lowered the steel swords, the soldiers in front were fighting bloodily, and there was a shortage of grain and grass at present, but the new marshal held down the grain and grass, these soldiers were not stupid, and they all understood in their hearts that Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tian had their intentions, but in this way, the overall expansion of the righteous army stopped.
Although these pro-soldiers strongly supported Guo Zixing's son to become the marshal of the capital, they hoped that the army could lay more land and even drive the Yuan court out of the Central Plains as soon as possible.
At that moment, a person with the identity of a hundred households asked Guo Tianxu: "Marshal! The soldiers at the front are short of food and grass, are you really not paying food? The tone of his voice was already suspicious.
"I will entrust the matter of grain and grass to the right deputy marshal to supervise, if I ask again, I am afraid of hurting his face! How about passing on my military order and immediately organizing the distribution of grain and grass? Seeing that hesitant gaze flashed in the eyes of his own soldiers, Guo Tianxu was a little flustered, if these soldiers spread the news, it would make him lose his military heart, so he was not hot for a long time, I am afraid that he will have to hand it over to Zhu Yuanzhang, so he immediately said these words.
As for Shang Yu, he was very resentful in his heart, and he was also very familiar with the tricks used by Shang Yu, which was obviously Ma Xiuying's usual move, but after the food was distributed, he Guo Tianxu would kill Shang Yu to vent his anger, which was the voice of a loud cry in his heart.
Shang Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay!" 5,000 quintals of grain, I have to transport it out at once this time, otherwise I will take your life and give the order quickly! After Shang Yu was angry at this time, he couldn't help but regret his actions a little, but the military situation in front was urgent, and those who had no military rations did not have to fight the enemy, and they would be defeated because of the lack of food.
"Mo Baihu, you immediately pass on my order, quickly order the granary to prepare five thousand loads of grain and grass, hand it over to the soldiers of the baggage battalion waiting outside the marshal's mansion, and immediately transport it to Shiguan Town." Guo Tianxu almost gritted his teeth and issued this order.
When the pro-soldier heard this, he immediately saluted respectfully and said, "The young general will immediately go to the granary to give orders!" At this time, he already understood that the front was indeed short of military food, and the commander was clearly in conflict with the left deputy marshal, so he would act like this, but this was not something that he could ask about as a small hundred, and the only certainty was that the army in front would have food to eat.
The hundred-man immediately rushed out with several soldiers.
The rest of the soldiers looked at Shang Yudi, although their eyes were much softer, but the steel knife in their hands refused to let go. In any case, Shang Yu's behavior was regarded as a crime, and they naturally did not dare to relax.
"Brother Shang, now you can let me go, I have already passed the order, and the grain and grass will be issued immediately, you have no reason to do this to me again!" Guo Tianxu said to Shang Yu a little politely at this time.
Shang Yu still refused to let go of him, and said coldly: "Where is Mrs. Sister-in-law now, I want to see her." ”
"You mean my sister? She is now recuperating in the inner hall of the house, and it is inconvenient for her to see people. Guo Tianxu said with an unnatural expression.
"Order these soldiers to stay away, you take me to see my sister-in-law, otherwise if this knife accidentally cuts your throat, it will not be good!" Anyway, it has already been threatened, even if it is not too evil, as long as it can be sure that Ma Xiuying is fine, this is what Shang Yu thought at this time.
As mentioned earlier, Shang Yu did not have much ambition in his mind, but in his mind, the status of the beggar and the emperor was exactly the same, but he respected the hero and the respectable person, and at this time he was completely forced to make this decision, this time he was able to escape from Chuzhou, so he was ready to go to Yangzhou to find the people in the Shang League, and he did not know that Lu Shaobei was rushing to Chuzhou.
"Good! I'll take you there. Guo Tianxu also has martial arts, but his throat was pressed against him with a knife, but he didn't dare to resist at all.
Soon after, Shang Yu took Guo Tianxu into the back hall, Guo Tianxu's two wives saw that as a marshal Difujun was actually held by a young man wearing a hundred household costumes against the neck, screamed and avoided, and a group of inner hall maids and mansions also fled in shock, but the dozens of soldiers still followed slowly after more than ten steps.
"This is the room, where my sister is recuperating, and you will let me go right now, and then go to see her." Guo Tianxu said while standing in front of a main room in the west courtyard.
"I can't let you go at this time, I'll talk about it when I'm sure my sister-in-law is safe!" Shang Yu kicked the door open and broke in with Guo Tianxu.
A maid was sitting on the edge of the bed wiping her face with a handkerchief, heard the door ringing, and turned around to see the marshal being walked in by a young man with a knife, and immediately ran out of the room screaming in fright, and when he went out, he was still mixed on the threshold, although he fell, he didn't get up and ran out.
Shang Yu didn't have time to take care of the maid ring, so he immediately took Guo Tianxu to the bed, and looked at the bed, the person lying on the bed was Ma Xiuying, but at this time he closed his eyes and looked blank, as if he was like a zombie, and his heart couldn't help but immediately feel angry.
"Marshal! You actually used such indiscriminate methods to deal with your sister-in-law, how are you worthy of being the master of this righteous army? Shang Yu knows more about medical skills, and it can be seen from the expression on Ma Xiuying's face that Ma Xiuying fell into a coma, and she will be sore and weak, and she is given from Miao Jiang, called Soft Tendon San.
"You are talking nonsense, how do you know that my sister is hit?" Guo Tianxu denied it without admitting it.
"I'll let her wake up if she gets it." Shang Yu sighed, and said in his heart: "It's just that this Guo Tianxu's character is poor, but it is a lie, such a person, if he stays in a handsome position for a long time, the Chuzhou Righteous Army will definitely fall apart." ”
Shang Yu immediately put his left hand into his arms and took out a porcelain bottle, which was the medicine he refined last time, Li Yanhong didn't pay attention to it at the time, and there was only one bottle with the worst effect left in several bottles of medicine, but it was enough to relieve the effect.
"What are you going to do? Don't you want to use poison to harm my sister? Guo Tianxu watched with some horror as Shang Yu poured out two small pills from the bottle with one hand, but halfway through his words, he was attracted by the sweet smell that lingered in front of him.
Shang Yu took the two pills in his hand, took the porcelain bottle into his arms, slowly pulled Ma Xiuying's lips and teeth open with his two fingers, and sent the two small pills into her mouth, and then took Guo Tianxu to retreat and stand quietly.
Calculate the time, it takes half a pillar of incense time to make the medicine work, as long as Ma Xiuying wakes up, if Zhu Yuanzhang himself is here, Guo Tianxu will inevitably be reprimanded by Ma Xiuying at this time.
"Brother Shang! Why haven't you let me go? Guo Tianxu was afraid that Ma Xiuying would wake up, and with Ma Xiuying's fiery temperament, although he had the love of sister and brother, he would not spare him for drugging him.
At this time, he just wanted to get out as soon as possible, and then he would order his soldiers to kill Shang Yu.
Shang Yu didn't answer, but tightened the dagger in his hand again, but Guo Tianxu's neck was cold, and he immediately said, "I won't speak, don't cut it off." He immediately shut his mouth.
The soldiers outside stood quietly in the courtyard, and many of the screaming maids and servants outside the courtyard did not know why such a big change had happened.
Outside the gate of the Marshal's Mansion, a general had just dismounted and said to the guards at the gate: "I have come to meet Marshal Du, is he in the mansion now?" ”
"General Shao! Marshal Du was held hostage by a hundred households at this time, and issued a military order to send food to Shiguan Town, and the soldiers in the house had already gone to the right deputy marshal to report, and the marshal was in danger at this time. ”
"Bastard! A hundred households are so arrogant, wait for Shao to meet him for a while. This general's face suddenly darkened, there was such a thing in the Shuai's mansion, how could he not care?
As soon as he waved his hand, the ten pro-soldiers behind him immediately followed him inward, and the strong murderous aura emitted by the ten pro-soldiers made the pro-soldiers of the Shuai Mansion speechless, and said in their hearts: "How can these ten pro-soldiers be much stronger than the murderous aura of our family's hundred households?" ”
The first thing Ma Xiuying did when she opened her eyes was to quickly get up and scan the location, and quickly checked her physical condition, and she was pleasantly surprised to find that the qi in her body had returned to normal.
Seeing that Shang Yu was using a dagger on the neck of his younger brother Guo Tianxu, he recalled what he had been fascinated by a few days ago, and immediately said angrily: "Tianxu, what should you be guilty of delaying the military plane?" ”
Shang Yu saw that Ma Xiuying woke up in an instant, and only then did he relax slightly, he should not be in danger of his life for a while, and he was looking for an opportunity to escape.
Guo Tianxu saw that Ma Xiuying actually recovered in an instant, and he hated Shang Yu even more, and said in his heart: "What is that pill?" It has such an effect! ”
But with a crying voice in his mouth, he said: "Sister! This Shang Yu came to urge the grain, and I said that it had been handed over to my uncle, so he held me hostage with a knife, please uphold justice! ”
"Shut up! You and your uncle used to charm me, so that the military rations were delayed for a week, it must be a tight front, and then send the Shang Yu brothers to urge the food, you have to make it difficult in every way to have this disaster, Xiao Yu, you let him go. ”
Shang Yu couldn't help but hesitate, if he was released, I don't know if Ma Xiuying could cure him.
"Xiao Yu, as long as I am here, this Chuzhou rebel army is still not in charge of him Guo Tianxu, we will go to the Marshal's Mansion at this moment to convene the generals in the city and make this matter clear, and this position of marshal must not be continued by him." Ma Xiuying said confidently.
Shang Yu let go of Guo Tianxu, but Guo Tianxu ran outside as soon as he got out of Shang Yu's control, and when he went out, he was mixed on the threshold like the previous girl, and fell a, but he stood up and continued to run out, as the commander-in-chief, he was actually held hostage, and his face was lost.
At this time, there was a thunderous roar outside the door: "Marshal! Shao is late to save the car, please forgive me! ”
Without waiting for Guo Tianxu to answer, he shouted again: "Enter the house with General Ben and kill the thief who held the marshal hostage to me, and whoever offends my marshal will be punished." ”
A fierce murderous aura came from outside the house and pressed into the room, and it was extremely bloody, even Ma Xiuying changed color slightly, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's actually a reckless man who fought Shao Rong in blood!" ”
Shang Yu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, he had also heard of the name of Shao Rong, the first brave general of the Chuzhou Righteous Army, and that was the only person who could pull away his five-string bow.
He was thinking like this, but he felt a powerful bloody murderous aura coming towards him, and a huge and heavy ghost-headed knife slashed in front of him, Shang Yu didn't have time to dodge Tong, and he struggled to block the seemingly disproportionate dagger in his hand
