When Zhilong was discussing with Zhao Shi and others, in the far south, Chuzhou City was a lively scene.

Red candles are hung high everywhere in the official residence, the sound of silk bamboo and dong flute flows gracefully in the lobby, the slaves and maids in the mansion serve all kinds of delicacies to the lobby like flowing water, and there are dozens of bewitching and beautiful women dancing in the hall. There were dozens of hosts and guests in the hall, and behind each of them was a young, well-behaved and beautiful maidservant servant.

The delicacies are not delicious, the dancing girl is not enchanting, and the sound of silk and bamboo is not moving, but the middle-aged man in the middle of the seat shows anger from time to time between his eyebrows and eyes.

"The father-in-law doesn't need to worry, and now he has finally gotten out of trouble so far, as the so-called sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly. Haozhou is already a land of right and wrong, and it is time for the father-in-law to leave. ”

This young man who spoke was the famous Zhu Chongba in later generations, and since he married Guo Zixing's righteous daughter Ma, he changed his name to Zhu Yuanzhang. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was in high spirits, he was ordered to go out to Dingyuan last year, along the way to recruit rebels, attack the place, so far there are tens of thousands of strong soldiers and horses, and the strength is comparable to the people in Haozhou.

This year, Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to capture Chuzhou in Jiangbei, and finally had a territory of his own.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is less than 30 years old, he is 26 or 7 years old, and his face is a little thin, because in the past half a year, his department has quickly discovered and grown, especially the heroic scribes from all over the world have come to defect, and they have occupied Chuzhou and other places, and they have a foundation, which is the time for him to be proud.

"Lord Zhenfu is reasonable, Sun, Peng, Zhao and others are blind, they only know that they are fighting for power and power, and they have unlimited pleasure, and sooner or later they will be destroyed. It is a great fortune for the marshal to be able to leave Haozhou, and today the Lord of the Pacification will hold a banquet to catch the wind, and the marshal will let go of his heart and drink a bitter drink! This persuasion scribe was Li Shanchang, a native of Dingyuan, Haozhou (now Anhui). He came to take refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang on his way south to Chuzhou.

Li Shanchang gave advice to Zhu Yuanzhang along the way, participated in military aircraft, and was in charge of the army's material supply, which was very trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang. For the generals who came to take refuge, they were ordered to investigate, and it can be said that Li Shanchang at this time was the first minister under Zhu Yuanzhang. Therefore, he was able to sit next to Zhu Yuanzhang, sit at the bottom, and now serve as the shogunate secretary.

The marshal is Guo Zixing, now Guo Zixing is in his early fifties, to the spring of the twelfth year (1352), he gathered thousands of people, raised troops to capture Haozhou. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang came to defect, Guo Zixing took him under the account, because Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly made military exploits, and then married the daughter of Ma Gong who raised him to Zhu Yuanzhang as his wife, which was the later Queen Ma.

At the beginning, there were four people including Sun Deya and Guo Zixing who raised troops together, and Guo Zixing was five people, each called marshal, and they did not give in to each other. Guo Zixing saw that the situation was not good, and took advantage of the other party's unpreparedness, and gathered tens of thousands of people from the department overnight to evacuate Haozhou and came to Chuzhou to round with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Yesterday in Chuzhou, the two sides saw each other very happily, today the town of Zhu Yuanzhang in the house to hold a banquet to the father-in-law Guo Zixing to catch the wind. The people who accompanied him were all close generals and strategists under Zhu Yuanzhang, and Ma was the daughter of Guo Zixing and sat at the same table with Zhu Yuanzhang. Guo Zixing's two sons Guo Tianxu and Guo Tianjue and a daughter are also listed.

Guo Zixing sighed and said indignantly: "I want to be so prosperous when the commander raised troops in Haozhou, Peng and Zhao came from the defeat of the Xuzhou army, and we are willing to regard him as the leader and be willing to drive him under him." Unexpectedly, Peng Shuai died young, and his son Peng Zao's wolf ambition was to be with Zhao Thief, who had to cause Ben Shuai to die. At the beginning, Peng Shuai was able to uphold justice when he was alive, but now it is a matter of things to change people, and the danger of Haozhou is no less than Jiqing and Gaoyou, and it is fortunate that he can go to Chuzhou safely today! ”

He has been in a low mood at today's banquet, turning a blind eye to the beautiful dishes, reluctantly drinking a few glasses with Zhu Yuanzhang and others, then putting down the chopsticks, and letting the maid who accompanied him diligently pour wine and dishes for him, and serve carefully, this mood has not been good.

This way, Guo Zixing came over with fear, not only afraid that Zhao Junyong, Peng Zaozhu, Sun Deya, etc. would find out about their actions and send troops to pursue them, but also worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would not accept them sincerely.

In fact, Zhao Junyong, Peng Zaozhu, and Sun Deya did have pursuing soldiers, but they moved slowly, and later found that there were Chuzhou soldiers to meet Guo Zixing, and they were afraid in their hearts and retreated.

Seeing that his father-in-law was displeased, Ma raised his glass to wish Guo Zixing good health, and said crisply after drinking: "My father-in-law is famous, how can he be burdened by this small night." Back then, you raised the banner of righteousness in Haozhou, the soldiers and horses were only thousands, and today's people and horses are several times that of them. ”

Although Ma is four years younger than Zhu Yuanzhang, although she is a woman, because she is in the army and knows the current situation and the army, she was adopted by Guo Zixing as a righteous daughter, so she is naturally grateful to her. In terms of broad-mindedness and insight, there are really not many women in the world who can compare with them.

In the army, Ma Shi tried his best to assist her husband, she was not delicate and outstanding, but she was kind and tolerant to people, especially the old, weak and sick people in the army, and she was very caring, and the generals in the army sincerely respected her. At this time, she was wearing a cloth coat with thick eyebrows and big eyes, no powder, and only a beaded hairpin was crossed on her bun, and there were no other ornaments.

"Mrs. Huizhi, every word is beautiful!" Li Shanchang stroked his palms and laughed, "Guo Shuai is majestic and strategic, Anken is in the same column as Yanque?" And Peng Zaozhu, Zhao Junyong, Sun Deya are just deceitful, greedy for small profits and forget the righteousness, repeatedly murdered Guo Shuai and Zhu Zhenfu do not know how many, fortunately the two Hongfu, so far safe and sound, subordinates think that if they are not extremely Tailai, the time is also, and the luck is also! ”

Li Shanchang is not wrong, Peng Zaozhu and Zhao Junyong and others did murder Guo Zixing and Zhu Yuanzhang several times, the most thrilling one was that Zhao Junyong suddenly captured Guo Zixing and imprisoned him at Sun Deya, fortunately, Peng Zaozhu's father Peng Da was still alive at the time, and after receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's call for help, he immediately sent troops to rescue Guo Zixing from Sun Deya. Because Peng Da and Zhao Junyong were both kings and the heads of Haozhou at that time, and Guo Zixing, Sun Deya, etc. were all marshals, Zhao Junyong and others were not good at tearing face for a while, so Guo Zixing saved his life.

If it weren't for the Yuan army's large-scale siege of Haozhou, forcing everyone to temporarily put aside their differences and fight against the Yuan army together, I am afraid that the internal will have been openly broken long ago, and even drawn their swords against each other. The henchmen and cadres of this battle, Jia Lu, died of illness here.

In fact, if the Yuan army knew the truth of Haozhou, besieged it for several months at night, and then came to encircle and suppress it after the civil strife in Haozhou, the consequences of the Battle of Haozhou were likely to be very different, and there would not even be a chance for Zhu Yuanzhang to rise!

Guo Zixing nodded slightly, he was originally a marshal, but now he is forced to take refuge in his son-in-law, he always can't hold his face, and yesterday he saw that the military horses in Chuzhou were quite strong, which was very different from Haozhou, and he valued this son-in-law more and more in his heart. On that day, this young man came to defect, and he just admired his courage to promote and cultivate, but he didn't see it for a year, and his department was already luxuriant, faintly with a heroic posture, could it be that I was really a little old?

Look at the two sons and a daughter on the next side, this daughter is his wife sooner or later, it is impossible to pass on his mantle, the two sons are Guo Zixing's heart, he originally had three sons, but the eldest died on the battlefield, and now there are only Guo Tianxu and Guo Tianjue. Although he also dares to fight, he is not as brave as his son-in-law, he is not as brave as the generals under his seat, and he is even more unbearable in terms of wisdom.

The son-in-law is half a son, or a son-in-law, and this intimacy is a bit far away after all. It's hard to grasp how to get along in the future, Guo Zixing was a little in a trance, and he was distracted for a while.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law!" Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Guo Zixing was holding a wine glass, he twisted his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, I don't know what he was thinking, everyone in the audience saw that Guo Zixing didn't drink, and no one could toast, so they all held their glasses and waited for Guo Zixing.

Guo Zixing suddenly heard his son-in-law call him, and woke up, only then did he notice that everyone in the hall was waiting for him to toast. But it was Li Shanchang who just stood up and raised a glass to wish himself out of danger, and he could make great achievements in Chuzhou in the future. Li Shanchang saw that Guo Zixing was unconscious, and he couldn't take it anymore when he raised his glass, so he couldn't help crying and laughing, and was quite embarrassed.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang called softly to remind his father-in-law.

"The old man was distracted just now, and I can't stand Secretary Li (such a familiar name)! The punishment should be punished, the old man will drink a cup first! Guo Zixing laughed, drank all the wine in the cup, and the maid waiting next to him hurriedly filled it again, Guo Zixing raised his glass again and signaled to Li Shanchang, "And drink this cup full!" After speaking, he tilted his neck again, and his hand reached the cup.

Li Shanchang leaned over and saluted: "Don't dare to be, your subordinate Meng Lang disturbed the handsome meditation, and he should be punished!" After saying that, he drank three glasses in a row. Guo Zixing drank two cups in a row just now, and Li Shanchang drank three cups.

Only then did everyone burst into laughter and drank it all.

"Daddy left Haozhou, like a tiger getting out of trouble, now with his brother-in-law and soldiers, and then set up a handsome flag, it is the time to show his strength, when the time comes, Peng, Zhao, Sun and others will harass again, we will kill him!" At this time, Guo Tianxu said in a loud voice.

His words spread throughout the hall in a song and dance, and everyone in the audience couldn't help but gradually stop talking after hearing it, put down their wine glasses, and knocked Zhu Yuanzhang's face sideways.

Now it is different from the past, Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer the scene when he set off from Haozhou, now he has no less than 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses, dozens of generals, and the recent strategists and literati have a tendency to follow, which can be said to be prosperous.

Guo Zixing came to converge at this time, his department was not more than 10,000, and there were many family members in the army, but the soldiers who could fight were only 10,000 people, and they left suddenly, and a large number of baggage and baggage were all abandoned, although there was the banner of marshal, but except for a few generals such as Zhu Yuanzhang, most of Zhu Yuanzhang's generals did not agree with Guo Zixing's leadership. In the eyes of these generals, Guo Zixing came to vote, not to mention that the bird occupies the dove's nest, at least it is a bit noisy! It's just that I don't know what it means to calm down adults, and it's hard to express my position for a while.
