"Uncle, can you really do this? If my brother-in-law comes back, how can we resist with his few fierce generals? Guo Tianxu's face was a little pale, sitting behind the handsome case, and asked eagerly.

"What a rubbish! How can the foundation laid down by your father be obtained by someone with a foreign surname, this Zhu Chongba is good, and he did not directly take the position of marshal, but would rather succumb to the third position of the left deputy marshal, but the more this is the case, the more this person has a heart of disobedience, and we must not relax. ”

"Xiuying was originally the marshal's daughter, but this woman was outgoing, and it can be seen that she had already stood on Zhu Chongba's side, so that her uncle had to use medicine to overturn her, so that she pretended to be sick and recuperated, and the food was delayed, I want to see how Zhu Chongba's kid can defeat Anxian and the two nearby counties."

"As long as he can't hold his breath and returns to Chuzhou, he will be punished for the crime of retreating from the army, not to mention that I will arrange another plan, just wait for him to get in." After saying these words, Zhang Tian, who was over fifty years old, said with a hint of pride in his eyes.

"Uncle, although I cherish this handsome position very much, if I use this way to harm my sister and brother-in-law, I always feel that I can't go away." Guo Tianxu also knew that if Zhu Yuanzhang made another war exploit in the front, his position in the army would be even more unshakable, and after returning to Chuzhou with the power of victory, maybe one day he would put his marshal aside on a whim.

But Ma Xiuying, the righteous sister, has doted on him since he was a child, and he is like half a mother, and he can't bear to deal with them in his heart, but Zhang Tiantian drugged Ma Xiuying's meal a few days ago, and Ma Xiuying is currently under house arrest, which makes him quite conflicted.

"Tianxu, Generalissimo, is there a way out now? This is not a child's game, but a matter of subordination in the army, you are the only son of Marshal Guo, and it is natural to sit on this handsome position, but that Zhu Chongba is suspected of being a master of meritorious service, if he wants to take your position, he can do it at any time, don't you think it's terrible? I am taking the risk this time, just to find an opportunity for you to get rid of him, so that you can have a smooth road on the road to domination of the world and even become an emperor in the future. Zhang Tian was a little dissatisfied, and his nephew understood the situation at this time.

"Uncle, are you saying that it is possible for me to become emperor in the future?" Guo Tianxu is still young after all, and when he heard Zhang Tian say this, he suddenly felt a feeling of blood boiling all over his body, and he couldn't help asking.

"Of course! As long as Zhu Chongba dies, the lieutenant general will really regard his nephew as the mainstay, and in this land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, recruit troops and buy horses, accumulate thick and thin, and judge the time is bound to achieve the hegemony of the world in the future, so as to live up to the wish of your father Generalissimo Guo back then. When Zhang Tian said this, his face glowed red, and his eyes flashed with a feverish light, obviously extremely confident in this matter.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was the ninth commander, he felt that it was inappropriate, but step by step Zhu Yuanzhang avoided him in the secret steps, and even returned to his hometown to recall 800 strong men to return to Haozhou, and also rescued Guo Zixing several times in the conflict of the righteous army.

Although he dedicated Chuzhou to Guo Zixing, in Zhang Tian's view, it was just a strategy by Zhu Yuanzhang to use Guo Zixing's righteousness in the world to recruit heroes from all over the world to vote.

Now that Guo Zixing has died of an old illness, Zhu Yuanzhang will sooner or later take the position of marshal of the capital and replace him, and at present, Guo Tianxu is temporarily used as the commander, which is just a way to cover the eyes of the world.

"But most of the people in the army are inclined to my brother-in-law, and we can't take the initiative at this time, how can this be good?" Guo Tianxu still said with some concern.

"Tianxu, there is still a general in the army, but you have forgotten, he and Zhu Chongba are almost as famous in the army, and at this time he has been recalled from the south by my order, do you know who he is?" Zhang Tian immediately said with a smile.

"Uncle, is the person you are talking about is General Shao? He's coming back soon? Hearing Zhang Tian talk about this person, Guo Tianxu immediately calmed down a lot.

"It is this person, in terms of prestige, this person is not inferior to Zhu Chongba, and he is not inferior to Zhu Chongba in terms of the way of governing the army, but most of the soldiers in the Chuzhou army are called by Zhu Chongba, and the old department of my Guo family only accounts for thirty percent of it at this time, but with this person's prestige and force, he will definitely become a good general in the army after Zhu Chongba's death, and his loyalty is commendable, and he is by no means a scheming person like Zhu Chongba, we can use him with confidence." Zhang Tian said with more confidence at this time.

Guo Tianxu relieved his heart and said: "I still have two younger brothers, if there is no perfect solution, I don't want to drag them down, after all, this is also a risky move." ”

"You mean Tianlu and Tianjue? It doesn't matter, they have excellent martial arts training, if they are tempered in the army, they can also stand alone, and if they can be convicted of Zhu Chongba, the two of them can also replace Zhu Chongba and Na Xu Da, and continue to expand the territory for our army. Zhang Tian heard that Guo Tianxu was always looking forward and backward, so he persuaded again.

Guo Tianxu's heart was only a little settled at this time, and he heard a burst of eager footsteps outside the Shuai Hall, and a personal soldier ran in from outside, half-knelt on the ground and bowed his head: "Report to the marshal, the military advisor of Shiguan Town, Li Shanchang, sent to urge the grain envoy, and now he is waiting outside the gate of the Shuai Mansion." ”

"Oh! Who is the one sent? Guo Tianxu was not surprised after hearing this, and immediately asked his own soldiers.

"Marshal, this person is the newly sworn young hero of the left deputy marshal, named Shang Yu." The soldier replied with his head bowed.

"You let him wait outside first, I and the right deputy marshal are discussing military affairs, and I will announce to him later, retreat!" Guo Tianxu saw that Zhang Tian was always gesticulating, which meant that he didn't see this person for the time being, so he said this to his own soldiers.

"Yes, and the little one will go out." The soldier stood up and stepped back.

After the pro-soldier retreated, Zhang Tian immediately said: "There must be not much military food left in the front, but it is ridiculous that Li Shanchang actually sent back a child whose milk has not retreated to urge food, it is really funny." ”

Guo Tianxu couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, and asked, "Uncle! This young man Shang Yu heard that he is very talented, and his brother-in-law and Li Shanchang both attach great importance to him, I heard that he can receive a hundred stone strong bow, you should not underestimate him? ”

"Hahaha, brute force is just a child, how can you learn it? I heard that he was not more than fifteen years old, so I sent him to get food, and let him wait outside for a few hours. If the nephew has no other arrangement, we can go to the house to play chess and chat, in short, a procrastination trick can make this kid unable to do anything. Zhang Tian had a strange expression on his face when he said this.

Shang Yu waited outside the Shuai's Mansion for an hour, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong he felt, so he asked the soldiers guarding the door, "The eldest lady came back before, where is she now?" ”

The soldier looked at Shang Yu, did not dare to slack off, as a soldier, he knew that Shang Yu was the name of the young arrow god in the army, and he was also the sworn brother of the right deputy marshal, after hearing the words, he saluted and replied: "The eldest lady thinks that it is because of the wind and cold on the road, so after returning to Chuzhou, she fell ill in bed, and is recuperating in the marshal's mansion at the moment, and after seeing the marshal, you can go to visit." ”

Shang Yu's queen didn't believe it in his heart, and said in his heart: "It seems that Mr. Li guessed correctly, this marshal and the left deputy marshal are a little abnormal at this time, even if there is a major military situation, it is not as important as the lack of food on the front line!" Now that I'm waiting for an hour, isn't that just delaying time? ”

"She is a top martial artist, she will not be infected easily, why would she come back to urge food and get sick and need to rest, not to mention that even if she is sick, she can't afford to transport military rations to the front, it must be that they used force or medicine to make my sister-in-law unable to resist."

"I want to come to the rebel army is a family, but use this kind of knife without seeing blood to make the soldiers in front of me return, Mr. told me a long time ago, if several rebels work together, they can drive the Yuan court out of the Central Plains long ago, it is because of internal problems that have led to repeated failures, if I wait here it is useless, it is better to enter the marshal's mansion to find out."

Thinking of this, Shang Yu said to the pro-soldier: "This big brother, please go and report to the marshal again!" At this time, tens of thousands of troops in front are in a shortage of food, if the delay is too long, I am afraid of mutiny, if I am not seen again and send food and grass to transport, any incident will be borne by the marshal! When he said this, Shang Yu said completely fearlessly.

If the matter of urging grain cannot be achieved as soon as possible, the army in front will inevitably return to Shiguan, and then the army will return to Chuzhou, and the policy of taking the three counties will not be possible.

The hundreds of soldiers who followed behind Shang Yu were all soldiers of the baggage battalion, they were all very dissatisfied with the new marshal Guo Tianxu's current behavior of not seeing Shang Yudi, the army in front was about to run out of food, the previous time Ma Xiuying rushed back quickly for five days There was no news, this time Shang Yu personally led five hundred soldiers of the heavy battalion to directly transport grain and grass, although these soldiers are Guo veterans, but they are also old qualified soldiers in the righteous army, Li Shanchang sent them back to follow them back is to let them be a witness.

When the soldier guarding the door heard this, his face immediately changed, and he ran to the marshal's mansion with a word of agreement.

"Report Marshal! Shang Yu asked to see the marshal again, and said that the army in front was about to run out of food, and if there was a mutiny in the army, all the responsibility would be borne by you, would you like to see him? The soldier was half-kneeling on the ground and reported.

"See, how could I not see him? Let him in now. Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tian were playing chess while eating snacks, raised their heads and said to their soldiers with a smile on their faces.

The pro-soldier took the order and left, but Zhang Tian said at this time: "Nephew, this time you can transport a small amount of military food to the front, not to make the army completely cut off, just let them not eat well, later you will pay him the preparation of thirty percent of the grain batch, remember, you have to find a way to give this kid named Shang Yu a dismount, don't let him be too arrogant, dare to let you take responsibility, such disrespectful words must be punished before he leaves, do you understand?" ”

Guo Tianxu nodded slightly after hearing this, and said: "Tianxu understands, he dares to use such words on me, and he must not be spared." ”

After a short time, Shang Yu was led by that personal soldier to the backyard of the Shuaifu.

At this time, the weather in early spring was already very warm, and Shang Yu walked behind his own soldiers, feeling good about the scenery in the back garden.

"There are not many kinds of flowers here, and the garden is full of cold plums in early spring, but I don't know what kind of thing Zhang Tian and the marshal will discuss again? It's going to be in such an environment. Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and looked ahead.

Seeing two people in Confucian shirts, sitting in a pavilion playing chess, Shang Yu immediately felt a wave of anger, and said in his heart: "Looking at the expressions of the two of them, it must be that they have been playing chess here for a long time, so neglecting the military aircraft, how can they be the commander of this righteous army?" ”

"Report to the Marshal! Shang Yu has arrived in the army to urge food. The soldier said loudly outside the pavilion.

Guo Tianxu raised his head at this time and said to Zhang Tian: "Right deputy marshal, this chess game is almost comparable to the general trend of the world, and the dangers are all the same. ”

Zhang Tian had already discussed with Guo Tian, and immediately stood up and said, "Okay, my subordinates are here to retire first!" As Zhang Tian spoke, Shi Shiran left the pavilion and walked past Shang Yu.

He just glanced at Shang Yu from the corner of his eye, then snorted heavily in his nose, and then whispered with disdain: "Huangkou Xiao'er can also be a food urge, and there is no one in the army in front?" ”

Shang Yu was furious after hearing this, and was called Huangkou Xiaoer, which was really a great shame, but he thought in his heart: "If you argue with such a gossip villain, you will not be convinced, this person is the left deputy marshal in terms of military position, I have not made an inch, at this time I am just a small person who temporarily hangs the post of a hundred households, and it is the best policy to obey the orders of Mr. and get the military rations as much as possible." ”

In this way, Shang Yu did not respond, and Zhang Tian saw that Shang Yu did not respond, so he looked up to the sky and left with a laugh.

"Someone! First tie up the merchant feather and give me twenty military sticks. Seeing Zhang Tian laughing, Guo Tianxu didn't seem to hear it, but just ordered several personal soldiers outside the pavilion to immediately tie up Shang Yu, wanting to beat him with a military stick.

Shang Yu was immediately surrounded by several soldiers, and after hearing Guo Tianxu's words, Shang Yu really couldn't control the anger in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Marshal! If you hit me today, there will be no room for turnaround, you are only a few years older than me, you don't know where you are at all, if you insist on going your own way, even if my husband asks me to calm this matter, please think twice! ”

As he spoke, Shang Yu stretched out his hand and knocked all the soldiers surrounding him to the ground, his eyes glaring at Guo Tianxu.

"It's the other way around! Someone! Cut this man down for me. After Guo Tianxu listened to Shang Yudi's words, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, as if everything he and Zhang Tian had let Shang Yu see clearly, but in his heart, he was annoyed that Shang Yu actually injured his soldiers, and immediately shouted.

In an instant, dozens of sword-wielding soldiers appeared in the back garden, and soon surrounded Shang Yu, Shang Yu was immediately in danger, how should he face it at this time?
