Chapter 50: The Blind Bear's Smile
In order to fully express his respect and admiration for the literati, after Liu Ji brought the other three literary heroes to the military tent, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered to spend a huge amount of money to build a high-end private apartment dedicated to providing literati rest and communication under the limited military expenditure and site planning.
And the name of this apartment, as the initiator of the project, Zhu Yuanzhang has already thought of it and named it directly: Lixian Pavilion.
The meaning of the name is also very simple, it is a hotel dedicated to the sage.
Personally, I think that the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang, who already has some political acumen, spent a lot of money to build this Lixian Pavilion is ostensibly to appease Liu Ji and others, who have been hard-invited, and the deep-seated reason should be to show the world his respect and example for the literati who were born as martial artists.
To put it bluntly, it is to issue a recruitment order to other hesitant people: You sour and rotten literati who have not yet surrendered to me should open your eyes and take a look, top intellectuals like Liu Ji and Liu Bowen have already abandoned the secret and surrendered to me, you Sven scum who don't have a few taels of ink in their stomachs, but a pair of eyes but are highly short-sighted and don't know where the Lord is, do you still have to carry it to the end and be my enemy?
Open your eyes and see what kind of powerful characters the uncle has.
You weigh it carefully, and think about the gap between them and these people.
If you feel that you are not as good as others, then take advantage of the fact that it is still early to come and join my uncle.
Of course, if you are still stubborn, then you don't care, it is enough to have a Liu Ji by my side, uncle, there are not many of you, and you are not a lot, and when the time comes, uncle, I can only be sorry for you.
The road ahead has been repaired for you, if you still don't come to obey me, then there is only one explanation, this explanation is to fight to the end with the uncle, in this case, then the uncle I don't have to say anything more, the next step you guys will be the focus of the uncle's crusade.
I would like to see if your pen will be hard or your gun will be hard.
After determining the projects and projects of the Lixian Pavilion, assigning tasks and arranging Song Lian, Zhang Yi and Ye Chen to all hold important positions, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the commander of the First Army, did not arrange a position for Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time.
As the capital of Wenchen and a generation of writers who hold the boat in the belly of the storm, Zhu Yuanzhang can't seem to find any position in the army that can match Liu Ji's identity.
According to the arrangement of the official ranks at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's identity was just the left prime minister of the dragon and phoenix regime, and Song Lian, Zhang Yi and Ye Chen, who came at this time, should all be regarded as first-class or second-grade positions, and there were no official positions higher than these positions above this kind of position.
And Liu Ji, who was finally invited, made him in a small position, which seems to be too condescending.
In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was bent on digging treasure and squeezing the cheap labor of the other party, did not arrange it directly, but placed him by his side and gave him advice to finalize the situation.
This kind of position, which is somewhat similar to the prime minister, has not been corrected by Zhu Yuanzhang.
This kind of position has a well-known name in our impression, and it is: military division.
In that kind of military regime that is still subject to the rule of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, there really cannot be a position similar to that of the prime minister.
If not, it is directly provoking Han Lin'er: The turtle surnamed Han, you will set up your own power from now on, and you will no longer obey your old command, you will have nothing to do when you are old, please have nothing to do with me to eat, you are busy with military affairs and have no time to play with you, you always have your own pastime.
In that kind of situation, which can be said to be attacked on both sides, Zhu Yuanzhang, who knows that his strength is weak and cannot withstand the siege from many sides, will definitely not make such a political mistake.
After everything was properly handled, Zhu Yuanzhang readjusted the focus of his work to military tasks.
The top priority now is to solve the dilemma in which we find ourselves first.
On the left, there was Zhang Shicheng's attack, and on the right, Chen Youliang's soldiers pressed the border.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the commander-in-chief, should make a choice.
For the sake of insurance, and in order to alleviate the military crisis in his own capital, Zhu Yuanzhang decisively ordered that a part of the troops and horses against Zhang Shicheng be temporarily transferred, focusing on defending against Chen Youliang's attack.
Soon after the military order was established, an even more unfavorable news came from Chizhou, in the face of Chen Youliang's hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers and horses, the small Chizhou was unable to resist its attack at all, and after a simple resistance organization and several walk-and-go confrontations, Chen Youliang's army broke through the city, and the city of Chizhou fell.
At the same time, Zhao Zhong, who was the general of Chizhou, was unfortunately captured.
In the face of the defeat that was not a disaster, Zhu Yuanzhang had to take out his killer weapon as a return gift to Chen Youliang, and uphold the feelings of coming and not being rude, he quickly issued military orders to the main general Xu Da and the general Chang Yuchun.
Immediately gather troops and horses, pull out Chizhou, and resist Chen Youliang's army.
After receiving the military order, Xu Da, who was on the expedition, accepted Zhu Yuanzhang's dispatch, and on the way to Chizhou, he heard the news that Chen Youliang's army was threatening to attack Anqing.
At this time, a sly smile appeared on Xu Da's kind face as the main general.
You're going to fight Anqing!
Well, very good!
You're still afraid that you won't move!
Since you can't stand the loneliness yourself, then you can't blame me.
Whether you do it intentionally or lure the enemy deeper, the local gentlemen in Anqing who don't lay eggs and don't won't go, and as for the big tricks you put out, they won't accept them.
In a word, even if you tell this today and sing it brilliantly, you won't care about you.
Because Uncle will have more important things to be busy with.
As for what you are going to do, don't worry, you will know when you do it.
As a result, the two sides of the red and blue confrontation took their own actions.
First of all, Chen Youliang's troops and horses as the headquarters of the Blue Army led their troops out of Chizhou City and marched towards Anqing, the purpose of which was to set up an ambush halfway to cut off the Red soldiers and horses who came to reinforce them, so that they could not meet each other in the exhaustion of running, so that they could not steal chickens and rice.
Secondly, Zhu Yuanzhang's troops and horses led by Xu Da, who was the main force of the red side, set out after the troops, and under the strict orders of Xu Da, as the main general, he deliberately delayed the already ample time under the marching speed of grinding and chirping like a lazy donkey going uphill.
When the time was almost pinched, I felt that Chen Youliang's generals were secretly glad that they were desperate to attack Anqing, but now Chizhou City was already an empty stall inside and outside, and Xu Dawen, who had already held back his farts and had enough strength, finally showed a wolfish brilliance on his weak cheeks.
Under the long, sly black eyes, a pair of bright and sparkling eyes.
You are unkind, I am unjust, there is nothing to say.
Today is the day when you and I really go to war.
Take it, Chen Youliang.
Under the control of time, it felt that the time was almost the same, and after the physical strength consumed by the long-distance travel was completely rested, the Zhu Jiajun, who had eaten in a pot and was completely ready to go, finally ushered in the order to attack.
After a military order, the soldiers and horses, who had long been unable to resist their excitement, walked towards the city not far away.
At this time, in the city that had just sent away a large number of its own soldiers and horses, the recruits who had been tired for several days because of the previous cooking of the big pot of rice and the sergeant ceremony were busy sleeping in the bunk.
I have been tossing for several days in a row, and I have been called by those sissies who call themselves veterans for several days in a row like cattle, and I am humiliated by the unfair treatment of being scolded and beaten by cricket shoes if I don't do well.
In the tragic situation of not having enough food, clothing, warmth, sleep, and being beaten, in this kind of long-awaited situation where he only wanted God to send a fairy sister down to earth to save him from danger, he finally sent away these bastards who only came a day earlier than him and dared to call himself Lao Tzu a veteran oilman.
The long-lost ease has finally arrived, and when it has been lost for a long time, if you don't hurry up to make up for it, you will really be ashamed of the sky and the people.
So, one by one, they were busy sleeping and performing the Zhou Gong ceremony, and their eyes were dizzy and their legs were numb in their dreams, and they were dreaming of marrying their mother-in-law and sleeping in the wedding room.
And when they opened their eyes, they were greeted by a sharp scimitar with a handle that had been drawn from its sheath and sharpened its blade.
In this extreme situation, there are still a few blind fools who still try to resist by force.
But they were greeted by patches of snow-white and agile blades.
Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish.
Dare to resist stubbornly under defeat, I think you are impatient.
After a combat move, it seems that there are several strong men like Super Saiyans in the corner of the city wall, and they actually use a gap in the opponent's defense to mysteriously highlight the encirclement.
At the moment of breaking through, they each fled.
Towards the outside of the city wall, they scattered their short and white girls, running towards their speed of almost 100 meters of sprint, experiencing the fastest obsession in their hearts that only faster and not running all the way to their lives.
The people chasing behind seemed to be overwhelmed, and after chasing for a while, they found that the rear army that had not caught up with the possibility also chose to give up.
When everyone merged again, they quietly looked at Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, who were standing at the front, with an almost majestic posture, the fiery light in their eyes kept flickering, and they stood neatly and silently with a look of almost worship in their eyes.
Standing at the forefront, a face with a hazy smile and sharp edges like a scholar's face, looked at a two-meter-tall animal beside him, and looked as fierce as a blind bear, and smiled proudly.
The two looked up at the plaque of "Chizhou City" written under the dragon and phoenix dance hanging high on the city wall, and their hearts were even more comfortable.
