Xu Yu is extremely greedy for money, and most of the people who are greedy for money are also people who are afraid of death. Because he will be more nostalgic for the world than ordinary people, to enjoy his treasures.

Therefore, in the big tent of the Ming army, facing Zhu Yuanzhang and his fierce generals, it didn't take long for Xu You to explain everything.

Hearing that Yuan Shao planned to betray his army for his son, the generals of the Ming army were furious, and Qiu Fu, Deng Tianwang, Hua Yun and other generals shouted for war, wanting to break the ungrateful Yuan Shao's body into pieces.

Looking at the excited generals in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang did not express his position immediately, and sat behind the handsome case with his brows locked and silent for a long time.

"King, my subordinates think that they must not start a war with Yuan Chu at this time!"

At this moment, a scribe standing behind Li Shanchang stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "At present, the situation in Hebei is dominated by the Sui army, and our army and Yuan Chu are still lagging behind when they unite together, if we start a war with Yuan Chu at this moment, no matter what the victory or defeat is, the strength of our army will inevitably be damaged, and it will be impossible to compete with the Sui army!" ”

This person is Sui He, the strategist of the Han Dynasty who entered Zhu Yuanzhang's account last time, and once said for Liu Bang that he surrendered the king of Jiujiang Yingbu in history, adding a few weights to the victory of the Han Dynasty in the Chu and Han dynasties. Not only can he be eloquent, but also has a bold style, and later generations often compare him with the famous lobbyists at that time, Li Shiqi and Lu Jia.

"Nonsense!"

When the general Qiu Fu heard this, he immediately reprimanded: "Now that Yuan Chu has sent an envoy to contact Yang Gao Xiao'er, the intention of betraying the alliance has been clearly revealed, what else is there to mention at this time, the two benefits are two, and the two harms are divided, is it possible to wait for Yuan Chu and the Sui army to attack on both sides before starting a war with Yuan Chu?" ”

"What General Qiu said is extremely true!"

Li Wenzhong said in a deep voice: "At this time, the previous alliance between our army and Yuan Chu has long ceased to exist, and it is not us who betrays the alliance, but Yuan Chu, a fool. What we have to do now should be how to prevent Yuan Chu and the Sui army from attacking. ”

Sui He hurriedly argued: "But Yuan Chu sent an envoy to the Sui camp to rescue his two sons, and it doesn't mean that he will definitely unite with the Sui army to deal with us!" ”

Li Wenzhong sneered and said, "Mr. Sui, don't you think it's funny when you say this?" At this time, when an envoy was sent to the Sui camp, what kind of conditions would Yang Gao'er propose, couldn't Yuan Chu think of it? But he still sent a messenger to show that he was ready to betray us. ”

Saying that, Li Wenzhong had already turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said loudly: "King, you should continue to suffer from it!" In the current situation, our army can only take advantage of the fact that Yuan Chu did not know that Xu Yuan had fallen into our hands, and the Sui army and the Yuan army had not yet contacted each other, quickly defeated Yuan Chu, collected and surrendered the army, and then confronted the Sui army. In this way, our military has a point of life. ”

"The king must not."

Sui He also exhorted loudly: "At this time, it doesn't matter what the victory or defeat is? It is difficult to confront the Sui army with the strength of my army alone, please think twice! ”

"Okay, you all go out first, this matter..."

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is related to my Ming national fortune, let Gu think again!" ”

"Yes... Yes, sir! ”

Li Wenzhong, Qiu Fu, and Sui He glanced at each other and cautiously retreated, only Li Shanchang, who had been silent before, remained in place.

"Chief, what do you think about this?"

As if he guessed that Li Shanchang would not leave, hearing the footsteps of Li Wenzhong and others getting farther and farther away, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even open his eyes, and asked lightly.

Li Shanchang arched his hand and said: "Great King, in fact, my subordinates believe that you should know that with Yuan Chu's temperament, I believe that it will not be long before he will break his alliance with us for the sake of his two sons and turn around and unite with the Sui army to deal with us." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked: "So you support Wen Zhong and Qiu Fu's opinions, and kill Yuan Chu first!" ”

"No, the subordinates don't recommend that the king start a war with Yuan Chu at this time!"

Li Shanchang shook his head and said, "As Mr. He said, it is not unreasonable, if we start a war with Yuan Chu at this time, no matter what the victory or defeat is, it is impossible for us to compete with the Sui army again." ”

"I do not support Wenzhong Qiufu, nor do I agree with Mr. Sui He's opinion."

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Then what do you think our army should do right now?" ”

"Let's go!"

"Let's go?"

"Yes, let's go!"

Li Shanchang nodded and said, "King, please forgive your subordinates for being presumptuous." With the strength of the Sui army, even if our army and Yuan Chu were in contact with each other, it would be difficult to confront the Sui army for a long time. Not to mention that Yuan Chu's betrayal of the alliance is almost a sure thing now.

Moreover, the king, the subordinates only remembered something, just when our army intercepted and killed Yuan Chu's messenger, Xu Yuan and others obviously encountered the Sui army's sentry cavalry, but the Sui army not only did not support, but instead released arrows to prevent Xu Yuan and others from approaching. The subordinates had been puzzled before, but now the subordinates understood that Yang Gao Xiao'er had no intention of surrendering Yuan Chu at all, and he planned to let our army and Yuan Chu fight from the beginning! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but gasp when he heard this: "What a ruthless boy!" ”

Li Shanchang nodded in agreement, and continued: "Therefore, the king, my subordinates guess that the plan that Li Wenzhong and Qiu Fu and the generals hoped for would take advantage of the Sui army's reaction to solve Yuan Chu first, and that the Sui army would definitely suddenly kill at a critical moment and annihilate our army and Yuan Chu." ”
