Chapter 244: Persuasion
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to give Lin Qi the next day, but he didn't expect that Chen Youliang sent a messenger early in the morning to persuade him to surrender, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and sent someone to call Lin Qi to come, Lin Qi came early, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and asked for warmth, and told him what he thought in his heart, let him be a strange soldier, hide from Chen Youliang, and win by surprise, Lin Qi also thought the same, the two coincided, and they were all laughing, Zhu Yuanzhang said that Chen Youliang sent a messenger to persuade him to surrender, so that Lin Qi would follow him and listen, but he had to pretend to be a guard, So as not to let Chen Youliang know.
Lin Qi naturally agreed, put on armor, put on a helmet, held a long sword, and stood beside Zhu Yuanzhang with a sword. Wenchen is a little thinner, there are only twenty of them, except for Liu Bowen, no one knows anyone, Wenchen is an old scholar in his forties, deep, calm, occasionally open his eyes, as if there is a fine light shooting, it should be Zhu Yuanzhang's first adviser Li Shanchang.
The ministers stood in two shifts, civil and military, and there was no noise, it could be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang was very strict in governing the army, and when everyone arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded to his subordinates, and someone shouted: "Please send a messenger from the Han Dynasty!" ”
With the shouting, a Confucian student in a blue shirt in his forties came in, striding with his head up, looking arrogant, walked to the middle of the hall and stopped, unfolded a roll of yellow silk, and said loudly: "Zhu Yuanzhang takes the order!" No one thought that the grumpy general had already scolded: "What the hell are you?" Dare to ask my marshal to take the order and get out...... Damn, a usurper, he really takes himself seriously......"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, stretched out his hand, and the generals below were not talking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chen Youliang who was standing in the middle of the hall with a smile and said: "You also know that I will not kneel down to receive orders, if you have anything to say, you just say directly, don't put this score, I Zhu Yuanzhang Huaizuo Buyi, he Chen Jiusi is just a fisherman, put on a dragon robe, there is no fishy smell on his body?" What a pretend. ”
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's words came out, he made the hall laugh, but he was not wrong, everyone knows the roots, they are friends and enemies, and after fighting for a long time, making such a gesture is not a shameful laugh.
The envoy had a serious face, and said with a straight face: "The marshal's words are wrong, my emperor, carried by the sky, is Zhengshuo, all the places of Jiangxi and Huguang, and there are more than one million armor under his command!" You are a little Yingtian, can you still resist the heavenly army? The emperor of my Han family, magnanimous and benevolent, can't bear to respond to the disaster of the people of the sky, so let me come down to persuade him to surrender, if the marshal surrenders my Han, the king and the marquis are said to be waiting, and the swords and soldiers of the province meet each other, isn't it good? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly: "Generous and benevolent? Chen Jiusi is not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue? Xu Shouhui's ghost is not far away, you can ask him, how kind of magnanimous and benevolent method is Chen Jiusi? ”
The envoy suddenly sighed and said: "Marshal, the one who knows the times is Junjie, in this world, the marshal only has a place near Yingtian, the people are only one million, and the soldiers are only 100,000, how to compete with the Han Emperor?" Don't say anything else, let's just say that the strange people and strange people in this world have now been all in my Han urn, and there are more gods and people to help, the ancestor of the Bliss Sect is now in the army, and its ability is big and boundless, cutting grass for horses, sprinkling beans into soldiers, calling for wind and rain, changing stars, driving clouds and spraying, doing everything, don't say that I am a million strong men of the Han Dynasty, just the old and young under the marshal, the sick and disabled, as long as the ancestor scatters the beans, it will be cleaned up, and it is also good for the marshal to persuade him in this way. ”
The envoy's words, not only said that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't cry or laugh, but even all the civil and military generals couldn't cry and laugh, how could such a thing be sent out for a major military event? Pull out an ancestor of the Bliss Sect, and sprinkle beans into soldiers, really treat the 100,000 tigers and wolves of Yingtian as paper people?
Everyone thinks right, since Chen Youliang killed Xu Shouhui, it turned out that the Wenchen military generals who finished the day were already centrifugal and detached, walked away, scattered, and those who stayed were also reluctant to mix, no one wanted to come out of this, and in desperation, Chen Youliang recruited a group of newcomers, including the messenger in front of him, his surname is Zhang, called Zhang Zhe, who has read the book of death for many years, and has achieved nothing, and was recruited to the army by Chen Youliang, full of gratitude, and volunteered to come to persuade him to surrender, so he wanted to give Chen Youliang a face, didn't know that his later words were really embarrassing Chen Youliang's big face.
Since ancient times, when the world is in turmoil and the heroes rise together, there is indeed the shadow of strange people, but it is an auxiliary, not the Lord, and no one will take it to the surface, not to mention that there are fewer people who boast that they will scatter beans into soldiers since ancient times? I haven't seen anyone who can really scatter beans into soldiers, this kind of thing is just to say it at home, but it's a bit embarrassing to say it on such an occasion.
Zhu Yuanzhang is not as knowledgeable as Zhang Zhe, and said with a smile: "If you don't make bean paste during the New Year's Festival, you don't need your ancestor to scatter beans, you can go down, wait for me to discuss with the ministers, and then give you a reply!" After speaking, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to take Zhang Zhe down, Zhang Zhe saluted, and walked out with his head held high.
No one in the hall took Zhang Zhe's words seriously, they all listened to them as jokes, and some people shook their heads one after another, not understanding how Chen Youliang sent such a thing to embarrass people. Lin Qi was moved in his heart, he had fought with the ghost head ancestor, although he did not have the ability to sprinkle beans into soldiers, but it was not easy to deal with, after the matter of Yu Niang, Lin Qi also inquired about the ghost head ancestor, but there was no trace, I didn't expect to defect to Chen Youliang, but it was good, it happened that the new hatred and old accounts were understood together.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy, and when he saw Zhang Zhe coming out of the hall, he said: "Everyone, Chen Youliang's envoy is already here, let's talk about any ideas." ”
At that moment, an old man stood up tremblingly and said: "Marshal, the Han army is powerful, Chen Youliang claims to have a million, although it is a bit exaggerated, but there are always five or six hundred thousand, I should have few heaven and earth, thin people, only 100,000 soldiers, how can I be an opponent?" From my point of view, it is better to avoid the edge for the time being, and wait for the future to rise again......"
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent, and some Wenchen came up one by one to express their opinions, some agreed with the old man, and some said that they would retreat to the Purple Mountain, speaking of which, no one was optimistic that Zhu Yuanzhang would be able to defeat Chen Youliang, and even more, someone actually said that if you fight, you will die, Zhu Yuanzhang was still silent, looked at the person who said this sentence fiercely, and remembered him deeply.
Everyone is not optimistic about Zhu Yuanzhang, even Li Shanchang, the head of the Wenchen class, is silent, only those generals are very angry and scolding, but they are all rough men, killing people and setting fires, this kind of fate-determining thing, it is not their turn to interject, it is Zhu Yuanzhang himself who has the idea, no one dares to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes scanned the Wenchen he has collected over the years, and he made generous statements one by one, but none of them said anything, and his heart became more and more disappointed.
Yes, these things can be said to go, and retreat, he Zhu Yuanzhang's corpse has been crawling and rolling in the sea of blood for many years, but it is such a fast territory near Yingtian, and he is surrounded by enemies on all sides, where can he not be beaten? If you really listen to the words of these ministers, retreat, and avoid the edge for the time being, it will be a place where you will die without a place to be buried.
Zhu Yuanzhang's body trembled slightly, trying his best to suppress it, Lin Qi also felt the indignation in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and he couldn't comfort him at this time, and soon Zhu Yuanzhang saw Liu Bowen, who was also trembling slightly with his body.
Liu Bowen is a talented person, but in the past few years, Zhu Yuanzhang has not reused him, Li Shanchang just regarded him as a diviner of fortune and evil, Liu Bowen said that he was also very silent, not particularly conspicuous, at this time seeing his body trembling, he couldn't help but be curious: "Mr. Liu, what do you have to say?" ”
Liu Bowen is not a mediocre person, he has ambitions, he has talents, but with Li Shanchang pressing on his head, everything he has cannot be performed, Zhu Yuanzhang trusts Li Shanchang too much, and just treats him Liu Ji as a warlock of divination, he endures it, because he is not young anymore, he can no longer withstand the bumps, and he can no longer withstand the beginning, so he has been waiting, waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for Zhu Yuanzhang to notice himself.
Now this opportunity has been personally delivered to Li Shanchang, if he doesn't grasp it, how can he be worthy of himself? So a sickly flush appeared on Liu Bowen's face, he stood up excitedly, his eyes swept over the rest of the ministers, and suddenly said loudly: "The matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, before the battle, are you already timid?" In the next is not talented, and you and other people who are reluctant to steal their lives, it is a deep shame, Chen Youliang is not fake with a million, so are you afraid? All the gentlemen are people who have read poetry and books, don't you know the allusion of the broken cauldron and the sinking of the boat, don't you know that the three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu? Although I should have few military horses, but there are also 100,000 people, throughout the ages, less than more, countless, in the next is not talented, willing to live and die with Yingtian, those who escape, each should be killed......"
Liu Bowen's face was hideous, he was no longer the usual gentle and elegant appearance, he was so indignant, no one expected it, only Li Shanchang looked at him meaningfully, but Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, what he was waiting for was this sentence, his own mind Li Shanchang did not realize it, it turned out that this Liu Ji knew himself best, Liu Bowen should be reused.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Lin Qi, Lin Qi smiled at him, looking like he was in his chest, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around, Huo Ran got up, and said loudly: "The decisive battle here, if you dare to retreat, cut it!" ”
