Listening to the opinions of several apprentices, Peng Yingyu nodded sometimes and shook her head sometimes, and then analyzed: "The change of money advocated by Tokhtar has failed, and the finances of the imperial court have fallen into an embarrassment. ”

"And compared with appeasing the people's hearts, for the current detachment, I am afraid that it is more important to obtain the support of more aristocratic lords and support their own government affairs. Although it is now noon, it is a matter of time before the army is sent to suppress it again, and no matter whether Liu Futong wins or loses, it will inevitably involve most of the energy of the Yuan court......"

Xu Shouhui continued: "If we take this opportunity to send troops, the Yuan Court will definitely not be able to spare the energy to come and suppress it on a large scale, and the defense of the prefectures and counties will be much weaker. ”

Peng Yingyu smiled and nodded.

Xu Shouhui continued to ask: "Then according to Peng Zu's opinion, where should we choose to raise our troops?" ”

Without waiting for Peng Yingyu to answer, Zou Pusheng on the side prompted: "Isn't Brother Xu obsessed with the former Heavenly Village?" ”

"You mean ......"

Peng Yingyu agreed: "Yes, the Cloudy Mountain Villa at your foot at this time is the best place. ”

"Why is that?"

"This place is very close to Qizhou Road, and after raising troops, you can immediately capture Luotian County, and use this as a basis to directly attack Qizhou and other places."

"Why is Qizhou so important?"

"Brother Xu, think about it, if we stand near Qizhou, the Red Turban Army led by Liu Futong in the north will resist most of the Yuan army for us. Secondly, Qizhou is located in Huguang Province of land and water, since the Yuan army cavalry is the strongest, we can establish a water army, if the Yuan army to attack, it will play its strengths and avoid weaknesses, to win by skill. In addition, this place can enter Shaanxi Province in the north, send an elite army into Sichuan in the west, retreat to Jiangxi Province in the south, and Liu Futong in the east as a horn for common defense. ”

Xu Shouhui also praised: "In this way, it seems that our geographical prosperity is better than that of Mingjiao!" Then he asked: "Peng Zuke has thought about how to form a water army?" ”

Listening to what he said about his own strengths, Zhao Pusheng and Li Pusheng came out and hugged their fists and said: "Don't worry, the master has already taught us how to train the sailors, and sent the two of us to build a water village in Wuwei Prefecture in advance. ”

"Good!" Xu Shouhui was overjoyed, patted the shoulders of the two, and then said with emotion: "With Peng Zu and you to help me, why worry about the great cause!" ”

Everyone also laughed, and some people said: "Aren't we also occupying the right time, place, and people?" ”

"Haha, that's a good point!"

"Let's go all out and poke this Yuan Court out of a hole!"

Ni Wenjun asked out loud: "Peng Zu, you haven't said what you want to give to Brother Xu?" ”

Peng Yingyu let out a long breath, looked at Xu Shouhui and squinted his eyes and said, "I want to send Xu Jun 'three strokes and two words'." ”

"Three strokes and two words? What is it? ”

Peng Yingyu didn't respond, but suddenly knelt down.

Xu Shouhui was shocked: "Peng Zu, please get up, what do you have to tell me, I will do my best to do a good job, how can Xu afford such a big gift?" ”

Peng Yingyu said in a deep voice: "The Yuan Room is becoming more and more decadent, causing the heavens to be angry and resentful, and disasters are frequent, I expect the Yuan Room to be in danger, and I hope that Mingjun will come forward and lead us to restore the Han Family!" ”

Seeing that the master had already knelt down, how dare the nine disciples continue to stand, they hurriedly knelt down together, and echoed: "I hope that Mingjun will come forward!" ”

Xu Shouhui was overjoyed in his heart, but he was helpless on his face, and waved his hand at everyone again and again: "If you talk about prestige and fame, I am not as good as Peng Zu one-twelfth; If I write Tao Wu Strategy, I will not be able to chase after all heroes, how dare I be arrogant and be the head of you? ”

Peng Yingyu said: "The old age is old, and I see that the limit is approaching, and I am just a monk, I have been born for so long to be disobedient to the Buddha's teachings, how dare I go against the sky again?" And Xu Jun is in his youth, and he cares about the people, aims to the world, helps the poor and affected people, and does not tend to be attached to the noble and wealthy, and the nearby villagers do not admire your personality. The regulations of the Yuan Dynasty have accumulated shortcomings for a long time, and the people are miserable, and it is urgent for benevolent monarchs like you to come forward and lead them to restore the Han Dynasty! ”

Ni Wenjun on the side knew that Xu Shouhui was deliberately prevaricating to verify everyone's intention to follow him, so he also bowed down with his henchmen and persuaded: "Brother Xu, you were elected by all of us earlier, your ambition and talent are obvious to all, and now the situation is critical, don't shirk it anymore!" ”

"If it weren't for Brother Xu, most of us would have starved to death in the wilderness."

"Yes, only Brother Xu is qualified to let us gamble our lives to follow!"

Xu Shouhui listened to everyone's advice, pretended to be embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone, please hurry up, Shouhui agrees." ”

After that, he went to help Peng Yingyu, who was already old, and said softly: "No matter when and where, Peng Zu is like my mentor and father, and he must not perform this salute again, otherwise how can Shouhui be worthy of your hard work?" ”

Peng Yingyu nodded after getting up, smiled, turned her head to Zou Pusheng and said, "Don't you give it what the teacher said." ”

Zou Pusheng was right when he heard this, looked at Xu Shouhui and said: "Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, took the meaning of 'Dazai Qianyuan' in the Book of Changes, and the founding name of the country is 'Dayuan'. Master's 'three strokes and two characters' is to add three strokes of 'one' and '宀' to the head of this 'Great Yuan', and become the word 'Tianwan', which we can use as the name of the country to establish a new regime, which means to overwhelm this dark Mengyuan! In the past, traitors were frequent, causing Mongolia's iron hooves to trample on our rivers and mountains, how can the country's enemies hate us and so on? Now led by Brother Xu, we are all united as one, and we are bound to overwhelm this 'Dayuan'! ”

Xu Shouhui applauded after hearing this, and praised: "The word 'Tianwan' is concise and powerful, with profound meaning, simple and easy to understand, and it is the most appropriate. The two of you please be worshiped by Shouhui. After saying that, he was about to give a salute, but was hurriedly stopped by Zou Pusheng.

Ni Wenjun saw that Peng Yingyu and others were highly valued, and he was worried that the credit for the persuasion would be robbed by them, so he interjected: "Peng Zu thinks far-reaching, and I admire it. Brother Xu, since the war is about to start, I ask for orders to lead the troops, and I will definitely offer the first victory for the eldest brother! ”

"Good! Brother Ni is so confident, we will win the first battle! I immediately sent someone to prepare and make weapons and armor. It's just that although we have a lot of layout, we don't seem to have enough manpower. ”

Zou Pusheng laughed and said loudly: "With my master here, why should Brother Xu worry about this? ”
