Chapter 33: The Second Strange Man in the World

The so-called strange man is not necessarily a simple good person or a bad person, but this person will definitely leave a deep footprint in history.

Chang Yuchun is not only rampant in the world, but also wise and brave, and has never been defeated in his life. He said that he could run 100,000 troops rampant in the world, and he was known as "Chang 100,000" in the army.

I've always felt that being such a heroic figure doesn't seem to be an exaggeration to be called a strange man. But when I heard what Chunting said, I realized that there was something wrong.

After Zhu Yuanzhang pacified the world, he rewarded meritorious deeds, and the civil officials were headed by Li Shanchang, even if he was a civil official, he should not be called a "strange man in the world", but the military attache respected Xu Da, Xu Da successively defeated Chen Youliang, eliminated Zhang Shicheng, broke through the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, led the army to the Northern Expedition, expelled the Northern Yuan, and accumulated military exploits, to name a few, no one can compare.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang himself said, "Ordered to come out, successful and spinning, unreserved, women have nothing to love, treasures to take, righteousness and flawlessness, the sun and the moon are clear, and the general is just one person." ”

It means that he accepts orders to lead troops to the battle, returns with success, is not proud, does not boast, has nothing to love for women, has nothing to take from treasures, behaves decently, has no flaws, and has a noble character that can be compared with the sun and the moon, and only the great general Xu Da can take this great responsibility.

But even if Xu Da has made so many achievements, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, the title of "the strange man in the world" belongs to Chang Yuchun.

Chunting looked at me, and it seemed that he didn't want to tell me directly, but planned to let me discover the mystery myself.

"You should have read the history of the Ming Dynasty, do you remember the biography of Chang Yuchun?"

I didn't understand his sudden change of subject, but I nodded.

"Of course I remember, I wonder what you're talking about?"

Chunting stopped moving forward and blurted out the record of Chang Yuchun in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

"Often meet spring, the word Boren, Huaiyuan people. He looks like a strange man, has great bravery, and is good at shooting. At the beginning, he was a thief from Liu Ju, and he did not succeed in Chaju, and he returned to Taizu in Heyang. Before he arrived, he was trapped in the field. The Oneiroi was embraced by the shield and called to the sun: 'Arise, Lord.' 'Surprised, and Taizu is suitable, that is, to worship. ”

Shen Lang has not dared to be interested in these since he was a child, and it would be better for him to study these than to kill him, Qi Zhi and Xue Nan looked at me, as if they wanted me to explain the meaning of this passage.

This is the beginning of the biography of Chang Yu Chun, which means that Chang Yu Chun, the word Boren, Huaiyuan people. His countenance was peculiar and majestic, bold and powerful, unmatched, he had long arms and was good at archery. At first, he followed Liu Ju's side as a robber, but later felt that Liu Ju would not achieve anything in the end, so he decided to submit to Zhu Yuanzhang in Heyang. ”

I talked eloquently, and such an ancient text naturally couldn't help but bother me.

"Before Zhu Yuanzhang arrived, Chang Yuchun was lying in the field due to sleepiness, and dreamed that the fairy was wearing chain mail and holding a shield and shouted: 'Get up, the monarch is coming.'" woke up, and Zhu Yuanzhang happened to arrive, so Chang Yuchun stepped forward to bow down. ”

Chunting nodded strangely and shook his head again, I watched his ambiguous movements, not knowing what he meant.

"You're right, this is the record of the Ming History, but the person who recorded it ignored one of the most important issues, or he didn't know one of the most important details at all."

Although Chunting's voice was not loud, the words that came out of his mouth shocked us greatly.

"The record here is not wrong at all, but the character is wrong, it should be Zhu Yuanzhang who dreamed of immortals in his sleep, and he woke up just to see Chang Yuchun!"

We were shocked, even the expression on Ling Xuan's face was incredulous, it seemed that he didn't know about it.

Such a subversive thing is naturally difficult to accept for a while, but if you think about it carefully, since I set foot on this road, what can be handled with common sense?

Chunting seemed to anticipate our reaction, ignoring our stunned gaze and continuing to ask rhetorically.

"Li Cunxiao's story must have been told to you by Ling Xuan, don't you still have any associations?"

I recalled in my mind the story that Ling Xuan told me and Shen Lang, Li Cunxiao and Chang Yuchun, one was at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the other was at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, except for the fact that they were both brave and invincible generals, there seemed to be no intersection between the two.

Before I could agree on the details, I heard Shen Lang shouting in surprise on the side.

"Could it be that Chang Yuchun is also a senior of Guanshan like Li Cunxiao?"

Chun Ting looked at Shen Lang, as if he didn't expect that he was the first to think of the connection, and nodded.

"That's right, Chang Yuchun is indeed the predecessor of the Ming Dynasty in Guanshan."

I sorted out the process of these things in my mind, and gradually had ideas, it seems that Chang Yuchun, like Li Cunxiao, deliberately waited for Zhu Yuanzhang in Heyang, and may have shown his ability in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, so that he believed that he could help him win the world, and the historian recorded this matter, but they didn't know that this was actually what happened, but the characters in it were just the opposite of their records.

Qi Zhi pouted, and I found that she had such an expression whether she was pensive or confused, which was really cute.

"Brother Chunting, since he is from Guanshan, why does Zhu Yuanzhang only regard Chang Yuchun as a deputy general, it stands to reason that he should worship him as a general."

Chunting rubbed Qi Zhi's head lovingly, just like the care of the elders for the younger generations, he obviously looked less than middle-aged, but he didn't know why he was full of vicissitudes brought by the years.

"There's another person involved."

Qi Zhi was in a hurry, her lips that were already pouting were even more upturned, and she pulled the corner of Chunting's clothes, urging him to say what was next.

"Oh, Brother Chunting hurry up and say, don't sell Guanzi, I'm angry."

Chunting saw Qi Zhi's childlike behavior, smiled slightly, and spit out a strange-sounding name from his mouth.

"Wang Baobao."

When Shen Lang heard this strange name, he immediately burst out laughing, and the more he laughed, the harder he laughed, and he couldn't stop at all.

"Baby Wang? Hahaha, what kind of weird name is this, I'm still Shen Baobao, hahahaha......"

He laughed for a while, and found that everyone except him had serious faces, and couldn't help but scratch their heads, embarrassed.

"Why don't you laugh...... Isn't it funny...... I'm embarrassed that you're doing this......"

Knowing that Chun Ting would not joke, all the stories he said in his mouth shocked us, ignoring Shen Lang, who was like crazy, Xue Nan was thoughtful on the side, muttering to himself.

"Wang Baobao is a strong soldier with iron cavalry, and his ambition is not under Cao Cao, so that there are strategists such as Yu and Yu, and fierce generals such as Liao and He, so that the two of them can sit back and relax."

In the end, it was a woman who was careful, but I didn't expect him to remember Wang Baobao's record so clearly.

Qi Zhi heard Xue Nan's self-talk, but she didn't understand, she looked at Xue Nan, wanting to know the meaning of what she said.

"I know that Brother Chunting doesn't have ordinary people in his mouth, Sister Xue Nan, what do you mean?"

Before Xue Nan could speak, I rubbed Qi Zhi's nose and explained to her as she pouted.

"This is Zhu Yuanzhang's evaluation of Wang Baobao, which translates to Wang Baobao with strong generals, entrenched in the Central Plains, and his skills are not under Cao Cao.

Qi Zhi's eyes widened, and she was surprised.

"This man is so powerful."

Wang Baobao is not this person's real name, his real name is Kuoku Timur, which means "green iron" in Mongolian, and Wang Baobao is his Chinese name.

Zhu Yuanzhang once gathered the generals and asked: "Who is the strange man in the world?" All the generals said: "There are no more than 10,000 people in the spring, and they are invincible, what a strange man." ”

And Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Although Yuchun is a masterpiece, I have to submit to it." I can't protect the king, and his people are strange men. ”

It can be seen from this that this person is so tricky and important in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

I looked at Chunting's back, and the confusion on my face did not decrease but increased.

"I also know Wang Baobao, but what does this have to do with Chang Yuchun?"

Before Chun Ting could speak, Ling Xuan had a flash of inspiration on the side, and seemed to have sorted out the context of the matter.

Although Ling Xuan didn't seem to know these things, he seemed to have experienced a lot of strange things, and his reaction in this regard was still faster than ours.

I saw that his face was calm and he spoke slowly.

"Since Chang Yuchun is a senior of Guanshan, why can't Wang Baobao be a person in weak water?"
