After Shang Yu chased a long distance, he stopped out of breath, and at this time, the sky was as dark as ink, but how could he find Lu Wan's figure?

"Lord Shang, please go back to your house so late at night!" Mu 13 chased after Shang Yu and whispered.

"Mu Thirteen, you take my warrant and send the officials out of the city quickly, and order me to find out Xiao Wan's whereabouts from all over the territory of Lai'an County, if you find her, intercept me immediately......" Shang Yu looked at the sky, knowing that Lu Wan's light body must have left the county, and the city wall could not stop her, so he could only send someone to try to intercept her, and then find another way, and took out a token representing his identity from his waist and handed it to Mu Thirteen.

Mu 13 nodded and didn't speak, turned around and ran away.

In the next few days, there was no news from Lu Wan, which made Shang Yu sullen every day, and the Zhang Sanfeng master and apprentice were also refused to meet by Shang Yu for various reasons, if it wasn't for Zhu Yuanzhang and Lu Shaobei to introduce them here, Shang Yu was afraid that people would have driven them out of the house.

And this kind of cold reception also made Zhang Sanfeng's master and apprentice constantly feel anxious, until one day Lu Shaobei sent someone to send a letter, they came to say goodbye to Shang Yu.

"Uncle Zu, the younger generation originally wanted to ask you for the way to cultivate immortals, but I never thought that a few days ago there was a sudden change in the mansion, and I wanted to serve you here, but now the business alliance has important things to ask my master and apprentice to do, so I came to resign, please allow me!" Zhang Sanfeng knelt in front of Shang Yu and said respectfully.

"This official has already said that he will never know any immortal cultivation techniques, and you don't have to be so procedural, if you want to go, just go! The death of my mother-in-law and the departure of my wife were caused by you, and you will never come to see me again. Shang Yu was preparing to receive an important guest at this time, and when he saw Zhang Sanfeng's apprentice resigning, he naturally agreed immediately.

If it is selfish, Shang Yu can't wait to kill Zhang Sanfeng's master and apprentice to relieve his hatred, but if it is logically argued, the master and apprentice are not at fault, but the time and place of appearance are inappropriate, which led to Li Yanhong's death and Lu Wan's angry departure.

After hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng took Song Yuanqiao and kowtowed deeply for a few times, and then bowed and left, they will go to Wudang, Hubei Province to establish a new Taoist sect, which is used to form a new source of influence in the Yuan army area, which is what Lu Shaobei entrusted in his letter, which is exactly the same thing as the contemporary head of the Iron Shirt Gate.

When Zhang Sanfeng's master and apprentice left, Shang Yu welcomed the person who came to see him into the study, and this person was Lu Zhong from Zhang Shicheng.

"Brother Shang Xian, I didn't expect to say goodbye to Quanzhou, and after more than half a year, you actually became a county magistrate, which is really unexpected." Lu Zhonghan said noisily, looking at Shang Yu's face as if he was not happy, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

"Where, Shang Yu also has to be taken care of by the deputy marshal of the left to temporarily reside in this county, if I wait for the righteous army to win the world, I would rather be a shop steward to be satisfied." Shang Yu said unsubstantially, he still admires Lu Zhong very much, this person's martial arts skills and alcohol consumption are good, and the most important thing is that Zhang Shicheng has protected Lu Zhong and Zhao Qing at the same time when Gao You's army was defeated, and this Lu Zhong must have a purpose here, Shang Yu is just a little upset because of Lu Wan's matter, which will show a trace of depression on his face.

"Brother Shang, for my brother, I came here to visit you, and I want to convey my greetings on behalf of my king, after learning that you had an accident in Quanzhou, the king of my family once asked my brother to go to Yongchuan to find your whereabouts, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful, fortunately, my brother was also appreciated by Marshal Zhu and became a county magistrate."

"When the king talked about you, he said that your talent and learning were better than those of the Shen Fu brothers, but unfortunately when we met at the beginning of last year, I only regarded you as an ordinary scholar, and this time I seemed to regret it very much. Therefore, if the Shang brothers feel unsatisfactory in the Chuzhou Righteous Army one day, they can go to my king's account to take office, and there must be more than the county order, which is more than the seven-rank official rank, do you think it is good? Lu Zhong saw that Shang Yu's face seemed to be a little unhappy, and thought that Shang Yu's county order was not satisfactory, so he quickly stated Zhang Shicheng's intention to recruit him.

"So King Cheng values me so much? This made Shang Yu very uneasy, but Shang Yu felt that everything was still going well in the Chuzhou Righteous Army, and he didn't have another idea of doing it for the time being, hoping that Brother Lu could explain the matter to King Cheng after returning to Tongzhou. Shang Yu understood in his heart that Zhang Shicheng deliberately ordered Lu Zhong to come to see him, if he was not Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous brother, or Shang Yu did not accept Zhao Qing before, Shang Yu would probably be very moved.

But Zhao Qing explained all the actions of Zhang Shicheng in great detail, sharing hardships but not wealth and prosperity, if Zhang Shicheng occupies some cities, it is likely that he only knows how to be a king of peace and ease, and he will not be able to become a hero who dominates the world.

"In that case, Brother Quan Dangwei did not mention this matter. For my brother to come to Chuzhou to meet Marshal Zhu, there is an important military situation to discuss, this is also a matter entrusted by the king of my family, the two sides need to discuss this matter, this is to make a front stop, I heard that Marshal Zhu is in the area of Leiguan Town, can Brother Shang introduce me to him? Lu Zhong saw that Shang Yu didn't seem interested in investing in Zhang Shicheng's side, and a chill flashed in his eyes, but then he remembered that he had important things to do, so he continued to say to Shang Yu.

"I see? Deputy Marshal Left should be in the area of the Northern Ironworks at this moment, and I will immediately send someone to invite him. Shang Yu immediately replied, Zhu Yuanzhang has been paying attention to the production process of the ballista in the ironworks in recent days, and I have also personally inspected the secret barracks, and I am even more reluctant to leave after learning about the functions of those young secret soldiers.

But it would be inappropriate to bring Lu Zhong there, because it has become the most strictly controlled place in the Chuzhou army, and the production process of ballistas and various new weapons must be kept secret, and the identities of many craftsmen dug up from Quanzhou also need to be kept secret temporarily, otherwise if the Quanzhou Semu people control the craftsmen, then the next few batches of craftsmen will not be easily sent to Lai'an County.

None of this should be seen by Lu Zhong, besides, those secret soldiers will be Zhu Yuanzhang's best magic weapon to control the army, if the two soldiers and horses hundreds of miles away can exchange news in an instant, it can definitely achieve unexpected effects, not to mention that fifty of the two hundred people are following the commander and the generals of various armies, but there are still a hundred people who will become the front lurking place, relying on Tongzhen to transmit the enemy's information back to the camp, with this mysterious method of commanding the army, Shang Yu is naturally careful.

Only then will someone be sent to find Zhu Yuanzhang to return to the city to discuss, and see that in Lu Zhong's eyes, the meaning is obviously what Zhang Shicheng is going to do recently.

Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Lai'an County a few hours after getting the news, and soon after summoning Lu Zhong alone, he laughed and sent him out of the county office.

But after Zhu Yuanzhang and Shang Yu talked about it, Shang Yu suddenly realized.

"Brother Xian, Zhang Shicheng finally couldn't hold it anymore, and wanted to capture several nearby cities, but he was worried that Jiqing Mansion would send the Yuan army to threaten it, so he came to ask our army to make a feint attack on Jiqing to contain it. Brother has promised this! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said to Shang Yu in the study.

"But this matter is not good for our army, why should the eldest brother do such useless work?" Although Shang Yu understood a little after hearing this, he still raised the question in his heart.

"Feints can also be trained, brother! Only the core of my Chuzhou Righteous Army is a core of 40,000 soldiers and horses who are veterans of the battle-hardened position, but later they joined mostly some soldiers who surrendered to the army or some newly recruited soldiers, and the combat and mutual cooperation were extremely poor. ”

"It turns out that the eldest brother intends to take down Jiqing Mansion, this time King Cheng wants to take several cities east of Jiqing, and we can contain the Yuan army and dare not rush to help with a feint, can this be the intention?" After hearing this, Shang Yu understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.

"Only Chuzhou one place, our army is not enough to develop and grow, the big city in the south of the Yangtze River is Jiqing, two years ago as a brother is very fond of Jiqing, if you build a high city and according to it, you will be able to make all the land in the south of the Yangtze River belong to the hands of our army. But at that time, there were several counties separated and there was also Chujiang, this time I ordered General Hu to capture Hezhou, he would gather all the naval army to prepare to attack Jiqing, but in the early stage, I would like to brother your ballistas earlier, so that the power of sharp weapons to attack the city, will make Yuan Gou frightened! Zhu Yuanzhang said with a laugh.

Shang Yu couldn't help but be silent, Zhu Yuanzhang actually saw the situation in the south of the Yangtze River so thoroughly, if a big city was built according to Jiqing, it would definitely make the north and south of the Yuan army unable to connect, and the canal supply line would be completely broken. But attacking the first important town in the south of the Yangtze River, how can this matter be so easy?

Just as he was thinking so, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang continue: "Brother Xian, I will hand over the feint attack to you to personally command the soldiers and horses, and after I will find Hezhou in a few months, I will inevitably take Jiqing Mansion, I will change the name of Jiqing Mansion to Yingtianfu, cut off the road of the Yuan army to the southern provinces, and then bring my Great Song Emperor from Maozhou, and then recruit soldiers and horses, wave my army to the north, and restore my Han Dynasty!" When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, his whole person's momentum rose sharply, and in Shang Yu's opinion, he no longer looked like a marshal who mastered the soldiers and horses, and gave him an extremely depressed feeling, which almost made him breathless.

"Brother Zhu seems to be in Jiqing Mansion at this moment, and changing the name to Yingtianfu is not the name of Shuntian? Isn't it that Brother Zhu has the heart to dominate the world in the future and has the heart to become the founding monarch? "Shang Yu's heart"??" The ground throbbed violently, and I couldn't help but think so in my heart.
