"Junmen, since King Huai has given this great gift, he naturally has a request for Junmen!"

There is no free lunch in the world, and naturally there is no saying that it is useless, when this sentence came out of Yu Shujie's mouth, Li Ziyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and Yao Qisheng was the same, Zhao Jiquan, Li An and others looked at Yu Shujie with heart, for them, the most important thing is those weapons.

"Oh? I don't know what King Huai commanded? ”

When he said this Huai Wang, Li Ziyuan's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, he was originally the chief soldier of Huguang, he was already a second-class official, and he was one step away from him Zhu Mingzhong, but now, he Zhu Mingzhong suddenly became the Huai King of the Ming Dynasty by virtue of his merits. The dignity is like this, I'm afraid that even the king of Yanping can't compare with it.

How could the gap between people be so big, quite early, what did he Zhu Mingzhong have?

Thinking like this in his heart, Li Ziyuan was curious about Zhu Mingzhong's intention to give this gift.

This piece of meat may be fatty, but I'm afraid not everyone can eat it.

If you're not careful, you might break your teeth!

"I don't dare to give orders, but King Huai does have something to discuss with the military gate."

After saying the discussion, Yu Shujie stopped talking, but looked left and right, how could Li Ziyuan not understand, he waved his hand directly and said.

"Xi Zhi stayed, and the others avoided it first."

The military order in this army is like a mountain, although everyone is curious, but they can only get up and retreat, after everyone leaves, seeing that Yu Shujie is still hesitating, Li Ziyuan said.

"Shaoxing, Xizhi is Li's confidant, and Li has never hidden anything from him."

In fact, before coming to Wuchang, Yu Shujie had already received information from the Military Division, and the intelligence showed that Yao Qisheng was not only Li Ziyuan's confidant, but also without his help, I am afraid that Li Ziyuan would not be able to sit firmly in Wuchang, it can be said that Li Ziyuan can have today, Yao Qisheng has contributed a lot, and because of this, the key to persuading Li Ziyuan is probably Yao Qisheng.

"The military gate is polite, in the past, I only heard the name of Brother Xizhi as a great talent in the world, but today I am really fortunate to see it."

As he spoke, Yu Shujie saluted respectfully.

"Shujie has seen Brother Xizhi,"

For such a compliment, Yao Qisheng just smiled, and after a few polite words, he also asked curiously.

"I don't know what King Huai commanded, but please let my brother speak clearly, so as to solve our confusion."

As Li Ziyuan's staff, and Yao Qisheng, who completely binds his personal wealth and honor with him, naturally knows the importance of these weapons to Li Ziyuan, and of course he also knows that if he wants to eat this fatty meat, he may have to pay a price.

When did the fat meat taste good?

"The military gate, the military gate and the king of Huai can be said to be intimate, since I know the heart of the king of Huai, are all in the country, the way of life, all uphold the word "only public", even if there are personal grievances, but also on the public, and there has never been the slightest talk about private. I don't know what the military gate thinks is saying next? ”

Yu Shujie did not directly mention the purpose of this trip, but first talked about Zhu Mingzhong's personality. After he said this, Li Ziyuan stared at him for a while, and then nodded and said.

"King Huai is only fair, the world knows, when Li turned his back on his self-reliance, although he failed, but he still did not pursue it, he still recommended Li to Shao Sima, the love of King Huai, Li never dared to forget!"

Even though these words were a little embarrassing, but Li Ziyuan still said it, such as saying that he admired Zhu Mingzhong the most, I am afraid that his mind is by no means beyond the reach of ordinary people, he almost put him to death at the beginning, but he still did not pursue it, although he knew that he was not pursued quite helplessly, but in terms of mind, there is indeed something commendable, but, this does not mean that when the two of them are ministers in the same dynasty in the future, they will not become political enemies, even if King Huai does not regard him as an enemy, who knows if there will be people under King Huai who will take him as a way to advance?

As the saying goes, this harmful heart is always cherished, and this heart of defense is indispensable!

The words of the military gate made Yao Qisheng can't help but look at him more, after being under Li Ziyuan's command for so long, he naturally knows that although Li Ziyuan compares himself with Zhu Mingzhong in everything, and is even more worried that he will die at his hands in the future, on the other hand, he has never denied Zhu Mingzhong's character, and has called him a "dignified gentleman" many times.

"Then if someone lobbied the military gate, when our army gathered in Pukou, send troops to Jiangbei, enter Lu'an, and take Luzhou, what does the military gate think?"

Dispatch troops in Jiangbei, enter Lu'an, and take Luzhou!

When Yu Shujie asked this question, Yao Qisheng's heart couldn't help jumping, he had talked to Li Ziyuan about this matter, if Zheng Chenggong sent someone to lobby, when his main force was concentrated in Nanjing, take advantage of the emptiness in the rear, take the root of Jiangbei, and then not only take the rich land of Jiangbei, but also take the weapons factory in Jiangbei, in the face of such a temptation, it is really irresistible.

"This, such a despicable act, is definitely not what Li did!"

Li Ziyuan immediately said sternly.

"Please tell King Huai, Li still dare not forget the lesson of King Huai, we joined the army to expel the Tartars and save my Han people, how could the soldiers led by Li do such a cannibalistic thing?"

What he said was obligatory and high-sounding, but everyone knew that if he promised heavy profits, he would just say it once and it should not be true.

"The military gate is righteous!"

When he bowed and thanked him, Yu Shujie smiled again.

"Even if the Qing Dynasty intends to take advantage of the fact that our army is concentrated in the south, it does not hurt to attack the hinterland of our Jiangbei, and the firearms of our Jiangbei elders may be insufficient to recruit more than 100,000 new recruits for field warfare this year, but they are used to defend the city, and they want to take the city, but they must pay a price."

It's talking about Qingyu, but everyone knows that this is just reminding Li Ziyuan that the city in Jiangbei is not so good, and if someone wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, the teeth will definitely be broken.

Firearms ...... in Jiangbei

Yu Shujie's words made Li Ziyuan's brows lock, defending the city with a gun is really not easy to fight! Just when Li Ziyuan was a little distracted, Yao Qisheng asked on the side.

"Yu Dushi, since King Huai has already arranged it, what are the orders of my family's military gate?"

That's right!

This is the most important thing, since he Zhu Mingzhong has already calculated everything, but he has given himself such a generous gift, he must have asked for himself!

After thinking about this, Li Ziyuan looked at Yu Shujie and smiled.

"That's it, Shaoxing, I don't know what King Huai commands?"

Although it is the same question, the tone and mood are different from before, and now, Li Ziyuan is more inclined to remain neutral, after all, neither of these two is a light role.

"King Huai wants to ask, since the military gate is the general army of Huguang appointed by the king of Yanping, if the king of Yanping orders the military gate to send troops to Jiangbei, I don't know how the military gate will deal with it when the time comes?"

Yes!

Li Ziyuan thought about it, this went around in a circle, and the problem returned to the original place.

That's really hard to answer!

Don't say it's Li Ziyuan, even Yao Qisheng didn't know how to answer for a while, after all, Li Ziyuan's Huguang General Army was appointed by Zheng Chenggong, and since he was his subordinate, it was natural to listen to his dispatch. But what has been said before is so full, naturally it is no longer possible to obey his military orders, if he does not listen to his dispatch, then what is it?

Even if you say "this is a chaotic life", how can it be convincing?

For Li Ziyuan, who has a bad reputation himself, he naturally has to "scruple about reputation", especially now, at least he cares about reputation in terms of performance, so he can't say anything about his life.

This Zhu Mingzhong is really tricky!

Just when the two of them didn't know how to answer this tricky question for a while, Yu Shujie looked at him and said.

"It is precisely because King Huai knows that the military gate will face such a difficult situation in the future, so he does not want the military gate to be difficult in the future."

Oh?

Looking at Yu Shujie, Li Ziyuan motioned for him to continue, in fact, he thought very clearly in his heart, what is difficult, what is difficult? In his heart, King Yanping, like Zhang Huangyan and Zhu Mingzhong, is not a big deal, so he will ignore the military orders if he likes to pay attention to them, and if he doesn't want to pay attention to them, what can he do with Zheng Chenggong? The reason why it is difficult is just to save face for now.

Since he was able to tear his face with Zhang Huangyan at the beginning, let alone Zheng Chenggong?

This made him a little curious, what did Zhu Mingzhong want him to do? said a thousand things and ten thousand, what Yu Shujie said now is all to achieve the purpose of this trip, what is the purpose of his trip?

Maybe it was because he was a little thirsty after talking for too long, or maybe he was deliberately selling Guanzi, so Yu Shujie didn't say it immediately, but picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water.

"The military gate can know ......"

When he put down the teacup, Yu Shujie stared at Li Ziyuan and said.

"For the King of Huai, it is not a last resort, the King of Huai is never willing to wave troops with the King of Yanping, after all, this kind of suicide and killing will only damage the vitality of my Ming Dynasty, and this is the critical time for the revival of the Ming Dynasty, so, where there is the slightest leeway, unless the King of Yanping leads the troops to the north, otherwise the King of Huai will not order the loyal army to cross the river!"

Unless the king of Yanping leads his troops to the north, the king of Huai will not order the loyal army to cross the river!

When Yu Shujie's words came into his ears, Li Ziyuan and Yao Qisheng all looked at him in surprise, which was equivalent to revealing Jiangbei's bottom line, and when the two of them were surprised, they listened to him continue.

"But even so, the King of Huai also has to make the worst plan, if there is a conflict with the King of Yanping, when the time comes, the vitality of the Ming Dynasty will be greatly damaged, and how can my Han people have recovered by then? Such variables are by no means what King Huai is happy to see, and it is not what the military and people with lofty ideals in the world are willing to see! ”

"That's right."

Li Ziyuan nodded, he knew that he was probably going to get to the point next, what did he Zhu Mingzhong want? What do you want him Li Ziyuan to do? Thinking of the generous gift before, his heart even involuntarily "bang, bang", just when he was anxiously waiting for Yu Shujie's words, he only heard him say slowly.

"Therefore, King Huai hopes to be able to join hands with the military gate to ......"
