"Prime Minister, please leave the army immediately, otherwise the will of Banzai will arrive in the camp later." A middle-aged man dressed in a post dress knelt on the ground and said anxiously to Totoku in the handsome account.

"Tuhuan Timur (Emperor Yuan Hui) actually listened to slander, when my uncle Boyan controlled the government, and even didn't take him seriously for a while, he was the only one to uphold the country's politics and dictatorship! If it weren't for the old man's righteous extermination of his relatives and the expulsion of Boyan, assisting him to reluctantly unite the generals of the various factions, and quelling the rebellion of the Han barbarians in the north and south several times after his second comeback, my Great Yuan Dynasty would have returned to the barren land of the northern grasslands long ago. ”

"Muda? Muer, the old man used most of the troops and generals in the country this time, because my Great Yuan has been empty in recent years, if I try my best to quell the rebellion with the momentum of thunder, my Great Yuan will be as stable as Taizu was back then, and restore the prosperity of the year. ”

"But if it can't be done this time, it will definitely make the anti-thieves everywhere even higher, more than seventy percent of my Dayuan army is composed of Han people and other clansmen, if you can't put down the rebellion this time, then there will never be a chance! This is what the old man is worried about. Totoku said with a somewhat gloomy face.

"Prime Minister! It is clear that the 100 generals belong to different forces, but long live the decree that if you enter Beijing, you will definitely be placed under house arrest, and I have prepared a stand-in for you at present, I only need you to change your clothes and temporarily stay in the army, so that you will benefit you and do no harm. The messenger said with a pale face.

"Muda? Muer, Hugh has to persuade the old man again! If the heavens are going to destroy my great yuan, let it destroy itself! More than ten years of operation, before the formation of this million soldiers, if you can go out of the camp, you can see the siege of Gaoyou City, Jiangsu and Zhejiang to take down, Quanzhou Prefecture and a place back to the imperial court, I Dayuan can recover vitality, at this moment I want to know who is designated in the holy decree to take over my position, if not, I will not wait until this time. Tokhtar said with a sigh.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of heavy horses' hooves outside the big tent, followed by the sound of a clear drum, and the sound of dong dong was incessant, which was from outside the tent to indicate that an important person had come to the place to summon the news.

"Da Yuan Qin has arrived after sending a car to the end of the ceremony, please ask the Generalissimo Pingnan to take off and take the order!" There was a loud shout outside.

A wry smile appeared on Toto's face: "Muda? Muer, you should leave first through the exit behind the big account! At this moment, I think of the Zhao Gou child in the Southern Song Dynasty, who also changed generals in the battle, so he missed the opportunity to recover the Great Song Dynasty, and now he wants to repeat the history of my Great Yuan, which is a sigh! ”

After saying this, Tokhoff sighed and walked out, the middle-aged man in the post clothes was suffocated, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he muttered: "Prime Minister, I don't understand military affairs, but if I listen to slander and kill you in the future, I will definitely protect you from entering the jungle-covered country through Yunnan to avoid danger!" After muttering, he walked towards the exit behind the big tent, and one of the soldiers in the tent personally escorted him away.

"The generalissimo of Pingnan got rid of the great hero, but this march labored the people and lost money, so that the people everywhere complained, and the people everywhere were full of complaints, and the money was very greedy in the sacrifice of Confucius in Que and Mencius in Zou County, and when the army was raised to quell the rebellion, he acted like this, I was very angry, and I should have been beheaded, but remembering the high achievements over the years, I ordered the removal of all military and official positions, and relegated to Huai'an, waiting for disposal. All the soldiers and horses of the Pingnan army are jointly led by the Zuo Prime Minister of Henan Province, Tai Buhua, the political affairs of Zhongshu Pingzhang, Yue Kuochaer, and the Privy Council. When he said this, there was an imperceptible sneer on his face.

"Thanksgiving! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Although Tokhtar knelt down and thanked him like this, his heart was extremely cold.

Emperor Yuan Hui actually handed over the military power to three people to jointly manage, which will inevitably cause the decentralization of power, although the three of them have a good prestige in the army, but if they want to command the Miao Department from the Western Regions and the West or the South, it is simply a joke, and the military strength of millions of soldiers and horses will be invisibly reduced by half of the power, and the change of generals in the battle is also a taboo, and the military spirit is bound to be hit.

If the rebel armies from all over the country responded, they would inevitably take the opportunity to unite to resist the Yuan army, this time it seemed that the army of millions of people in the middle and dry areas was strong, and the integration of the Yuan army of all departments took him more than ten years to unite with various interests as a link, but now it was completely destroyed by this paper holy decree, how could he not feel cold in his heart.

"Get rid of the prime minister! The prince asked me to say hello to you, this time you will no longer be able to be a stepping stone in the court, hehe! When he lowered his head and handed the holy decree into his hands, he whispered with a sense of mockery.

After receiving the holy decree, he did not answer, slowly stood up, looked around at the marginal tent, sighed, and muttered: "More than ten years of hard work will come to naught in a blink of an eye, do I really want to miss this good opportunity to restore the prosperous land?" ”

In three days, the entire territory of Lai'an County was finally completely in the hands of the Chuzhou Righteous Army, and Zhu Yuanzhang had already reported the good news to the Marshal's Office, and he also began to redistribute the deployment of troops.

The whole army is in joy, Lai'an County will become a natural barrier to Chuzhou Prefecture, the Yuan army is mainly cavalry, if you want to attack Anxian County in the future, the cost and difficulty will be quite large, and Zhu Yuanzhang in the reward of the three armies at the same time, also issued a summoning order to Shiguan Town, ordered Li Shanchang to come, and asked him to bring Shang Yu to Shiguan Town at the same time.

Nearly 1,000 Yuan soldiers bloody heads were hung on the city, that were all Mongolian, this time Zhu Yuanzhang was ordered to kill, after witnessing the people who were killed in the city, Zhu Yuanzhang issued the order for the first time to slaughter the whole place.

Jin Dejin, the commander of Lai'an County, and the thousand-household Morunoda, who was about to escape, were captured by the Han soldiers in the city under the uprising of the hundred households, and were punished with sauce chisel the next day, and about thousands of people in the city watched and applauded at the same time. (Note: The sauce chisel is a kind of stone bucket torture instrument used to beat bean cakes in a bean making workshop, and the criminals are put into it and smashed down by a huge stone pestle until they are pounded into meat sauce, which is one of the most cruel ancient criminal laws.) ）

Everything went unexpectedly well, to settle in hand, Chuzhou has a foothold in the prospect of development, the soldiers fought bravely although they made a great contribution, but Li Shanchang and Shang Yu's achievements also made Zhu Yuanzhang like this young man more and more, but after the arrival of Li Shanchang and Ma Xiuying, he heard the news from Chuzhou.

"What? Shang Yu's brothers died of poison in the water prison, what is his crime? In the case of food shortage, my front-line soldiers were fortunate to be able to capture Anxian County thanks to the strategy of Shanchang and Shang Yu, and they were just locked in a water prison, and they actually sent people to poison the Shang brothers, is this what the commander did? Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately furious when he heard this, slapped the table and said, at this time he was in the study behind the county office.

Next to him stood Ma Xiuying, and in front of the table stood Li Shanchang, both of whom had a hint of anger in their eyes.

"Deputy Marshal Left, Hugh is angry! The marshal's office sent an order to the general, ordering the army to go to Xuyi and Tianchang counties, clearly wanting to use the power of the Yuan army to eat our army, and then completely grasp the power in the army. Li Shanchang bowed calmly at this time and said.

Li Shanchang also regretted Shang Yudi's death, Shang Yu had many strengths, and even he, a strategist who thought he was rich and rich, could not compare to him. But at this time, just now take the entire territory of Anxian County, and then send troops again, the Yuan army is known as a million army this time, these tens of thousands of soldiers and the other side face to face regular combat, sent to the blink of an eye? Not.

"Good chief, I must not send troops at this time, I want to return to Chuzhou, and I must completely control the military power, and I must not let Guo Tianxu put the whole army in danger like this." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a pale face at this time.

Shang Yu's mother and son saved his life, and most of the plans to attack Lai'an County this time came from Shang Yu, how could such a person say that he would die? What's more, the situation in the Chuzhou area has only become a little stable, and the people's livelihood and military spirit are all working together to the outside world.

The defeat of Haozhou that year was due to the fact that the leaders of the internal rebel army called the king the king, and the commander called the commander, and no one obeyed the leadership of others, and they did it alone, distrusting each other, and finally fell apart.

Now, if Guo Tianxu is allowed to go on like this, the generals in the army will inevitably deviate from morality, and in the end, the army's morale will be dissipated and uncontrollable, which is what Zhu Yuanzhang is most afraid of.

Guo Zixing died, and Zhu Yuanzhang still did not take the position under the persuasion of many soldiers, just to make the generals in the army keep their hearts together and unite with the outside world, but he didn't expect Guo Tianxu to be so suspicious of him, which made him very annoyed.

If he wanted to replace the commander at the beginning, then Guo Zixing Haozhou defeated him Zhu Yuanzhang did not have to hand over the military and political power, and sent Chuzhou to the Guo family.

"Xianggong! No, we can't go back to Chuzhou at this time, Tianxu can have Shao Rong's support, and there are still more than a dozen generals in the army supporting him, if he replaces his position at this time, it will inevitably cause chaos within our army. If a few more troops and horses defect, it will be more than worth the loss! Ma Xiuying said in shock at this time.

If the Yuan army has not yet moved south, it will be an excellent choice for Zhu Yuanzhang to replace Guo Tianxu with the power of victory, but at this time, there is a big enemy outside, how can it cause internal chaos at this time? It was she who immediately dissuaded her.

"Deputy Marshal Left, in the opinion of his subordinates! Let's make a procrastination, and he orders us to go out as soon as we are ready! Then it's good for us to prepare for more time, so will Zhang Shicheng only send people to us for help, instead of going to a few other rebel armies? If there are other rebel armies, then it is not too late for us to send troops, otherwise we will not be able to fight against the millions of Yuan troops alone, and we only hope for a miracle! Li Shan also cautiously persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang at this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not easy to get angry in ordinary times, and he treats soldiers and civilians more sincerely than any official, which is the actual reason why Li Shanchang sincerely serves him as the main one.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a soldier shouting from outside the door: "Deputy Marshal Zuo, I have two important things to report to you. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, and was about to answer Li Shanchang's words, but when he heard the words of the soldiers outside the door, he immediately swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Come in!" ”

The door was immediately pushed open, and a personal soldier stepped into the door and half-knelt on the ground and said: "Deputy Marshal Zuo, the first thing is to urge Shang Yu to come and return to you, and the second thing is that the spies who went out have Gaoyou's recent emergency military situation, and the Yuan Court will change the commander and transfer the army of one million people." ”

The faces of the three people in the room immediately stiffened, but Zhu Yuanzhang reacted first after counting the breaths, and a burst of laughter came out: "Hahaha! If you break away from the barracks, you will definitely not be able to unify the dispatch without a leader! Shang Yu's virtuous brother is not dead, he returned to the army unconsciously, God bless my Chuzhou righteous army, and quickly spread that Shang Yu and the messenger to come to see me. ”

Li Shanchang also showed a sense of joy on his face, although he was unexpectedly surprised that Shang Yu was not dead, but to get rid of this great enemy of the righteous army for many years, and to be able to organize millions of soldiers and horses to be replaced, this is simply a great thing that fell from the world, anyone knows very well, if there is no detachment, the Yuan court would have collapsed and collapsed, at this time, the Yuan court is simply digging its own grave, how can he not like it?

But Ma Xiuying was surprised and delighted, the corners of her eyes were a little moist, and she thought in her heart: "That half-earth child Shang Yu is not dead, I am still complaining to myself for not protecting his safety, but I didn't expect him to get out by himself." ”

The soldier immediately took the order to leave.
