Mao Xiang told Ma Du that Zhang Wuliu was a very good work, Chang Zhang and the others had been working hard for that difficult plan for a long time, and they were not even afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, and the two of them were people with standards, dreams and ambitions.

Mao Xiang hoped that Ma Du and Lao Liu would stop using words like ramming goods and two goods to refer to the two people, because this was an insult to all the fine works.

Lao Liu and Ma Du were very surprised, anyone can have dreams and ambitions, but not everyone has the level, especially Chang Mao and Zhang Wuliu, don't recognize the wrong person.

Ma Du felt that Mao Xiang and their superiors were very untactical, and it was better to spend a lot of effort to destroy Zhang Shicheng's gunpowder workshop, it was better to burn his granary, if they succeeded, there was really no need to fight.

In fact, he thought about things too simply, Zhang Shicheng had more than one granary, and he would not put the grain together, the grain was much more difficult to burn than the gunpowder workshop, even if it was painstakingly burned in one place, it would not have much impact on the battle situation.

Xu Da's movements also surprised Ma Du, after killing Lu Zhen, he did not chase and attack the city, but filled the moat.

You don't need to look at the city walls, you can know by listening to the rhythm of movement and cannons, and there are movements on all sides of the city walls, it seems that they are preparing to besiege the city on all sides, and calm down to fight a protracted battle.

Lu Zhen died, Zhang Shicheng was very sad, Lu Zhen was not only the first general under him, but also a good brother who rebelled with him at the beginning.

Sadness is sadness, but the army can't be without a handsome for a day, as in history, the old Zhang Shicheng asked his brother Zhang Shixin to take over Lu Zhen's handsome position.

In later generations, there was a big joke about Zhang Shixin, which happened in this battle. Zhang Shicheng was besieged in Pingjiang for several months, and when the city ran out of food, he fled with his own army.

Zhang Shicheng's pro-army is not a soft-footed shrimp, known as the "Ten Dragons", is extremely brave, and Chang Yuchun, who fights outside the city gate, can't parry, and is about to break out of the encirclement.

Zhang Shixin, who was standing at the head of the city, said, "Oh, the soldiers are tired after fighting for so long, let them come back and rest." Then let the soldier Mingjin withdraw the troops, and Zhang Shicheng, who was harmed, did not run out.

Ma Du has never been in contact with Zhang Shixin, he has only heard that he is ridiculous and extravagant, and he has never heard that he has such a brain, and he doesn't know whether such absurd jokes are true or false.

In Ma Du's view, this great man was quite self-aware on the contrary, and after arriving at the city wall, he only said, "All the generals decide to defend the city", and hid in the cave to eat, drink and have fun.

After the battle, he didn't go to the city to inspect like Lu Zhen, and he didn't even show his head on the city wall shrewdly, and he didn't know if he would be shot in the head by an iron bullet like in history.

Ma Du was a little injured and didn't have to go to the palace to be on duty, but he had to tell stories to Zhang Zongzhao every once in a while. He told it once, and the next day Baijin would tell it again, until Zhang Zongzhao got tired of listening to it, and then asked Ma to tell a new story.

Ma Du was also happy to go, of course, in order to find out the intelligence, but it was a pity that a small official like him could not follow Zhang Shicheng to hold a meeting in the main hall.

can only start from the back house, and Princess Liu's occasional popping up of a few words can make Ma Du understand more about the situation inside and outside the city.

Of course, he also has a lot of fairy tales in his stomach, such as "The Black Girl", "The Big Bad Wolf and the Little Green Hat", and "The Ugly Chick...... Some classic fairy tales have been told.

"The Wizard of Oz" is a very long story, and Ma Du originally wanted to tell it in chapters, but unfortunately these listeners did not have the patience to do so, and unanimously demanded that Ma Du update it immediately, and children were just children, even adults like Princess Liu and Baijin.

The shouts and explosions at the head of the city still echoed in their ears, where did they come from to listen to their own stories? Maybe they have already despaired in their hearts, and even prepared for the worst, just hoping to use Madu's story to numb themselves, so that their waiting seems calmer and less anxious.

"Huh...... It sounds ridiculous, but it's fascinating! Zhang Shicheng smiled and took a sip from his wine glass.

Princess Liu took the wine jug and poured it for him, "Most of this Mr. Pony's stories are like this, seemingly absurd and bizarre but full of childlike implications, a bit like an allegory. It's just that I haven't heard of these little stories, maybe he made it up himself, today this story was originally going to be only going to say a paragraph, eighty percent of it was not made up, the concubine was addicted to listening and forced him to finish it, he was quite anxious to make it up very satisfactorily. It seems that he is not only good at medicine, but also quite talented. ”

"Poetry is written to laugh and amuse, there are more such people in the Hongwen Pavilion, and those who are pretentious and capable are gone!"

"The prince raises them, but he doesn't use them, the backbone of the people naturally want to leave, and the rest of the spineless ones are just trying to eat, drink, and make money......" Princess Liu suddenly changed her words, "Does the prince regret it?" ”

Zhang Shicheng smiled helplessly, "What is there to regret, this king has no intention of the world, he just wants to establish a foothold in this Jiangnan flower world and live a free life, who has the ability to take over the world, as long as I am allowed to cut Jiangnan and bow down to the ministers." Who would have thought that the most inconspicuous Zhu thief bald back then would now have the potential to win the championship......"

Princess Liu asked tentatively: "The prince doesn't look down on him?" ”

Zhang Shicheng laughed miserably: "Does the princess also want to persuade me to surrender?" ”

Princess Liu squatted down and saluted, "The concubine doesn't dare, no matter what step she takes, the concubine will follow the princess." I just want to leave a way for my child to live......"

"How can I not understand the heart of being a mother." Zhang Shicheng stretched out his hand to help Princess Liu to the chair, "But Zhu Thief is not a tolerant person, this person is suspicious and suspicious on the outside, and he will show his true face sooner or later. ”

If Ma Du heard it, he would definitely applaud Zhang Shicheng Zhang Shicheng's eyes, but there was one thing he guessed wrong. It's strange to say that Lao Zhu's men were almost killed by himself, but many of Lao Zhu's enemies ended up well.

For example, Chen Li, the son of Chen Youliang, and Ming Sheng, the son of Ming Yuzhen, both of them have been emperors. has never been an emperor, such as Zuo Junbi and Fang Guozhen, and they all died well.

Especially this Fang Guozhen, the history of the Ming Dynasty records that his "Guozhen was the first to be in turmoil, and he repeatedly had no faith, but he actually died a good death." It means that Fang Guozhen was the first to raise the banner of anti-Yuan, and he was still a capricious villain, and he even stumbled Lao Zhu, but such a person ended up with a good death and his family was not affected, and his tone seemed to be incredible.

If Zhang Shicheng surrenders, maybe his son will go with Mingsheng Chen Li to be the son-in-law of the stick country.

"Zhu Thief forced the third child (Zhang Shide) to death, and the king imprisoned Liao Yongan to death, this revenge can't be resolved, so the princess should not mention it again."

Princess Liu frowned and said suspiciously: "This Liao Yongan is not dead, this year's concubine body also rewarded him with food and clothing, but the guards have all accepted it." ”
