"In this way, the Chu military division and the soldiers are going to coerce their own country." Zhu Yuanzhang felt threatened, and there was naturally some blame between his words. ”

Chu Liuyan already knew from Zhu Yuanzhang's words that Zhu Yuanzhang was quite dissatisfied, but the words had already said this, but he had to turn around. Then he opened his mouth and said: "Wu Guogong, the soldiers under Xu Da's command do not have the intention of Velbi Wu Guogong, but now that the enemy is present, if General Xu Da is not allowed to come out to lead the troops to resist the war, I am afraid that Yingtian City will not be able to be protected." ”

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude, the generals under Xu Da also knew that there were some taboos against Zhu Yuanzhang today.

Seeing Chu Liuyan's statement like this, the rest of the generals naturally understood Chu Liuyan's meaning, and an old general under Xu Da also said on the side: "Wu Guogong, it's not that we don't follow the orders of the marshal, it's just that we can only go into battle to kill the enemy, and there is some separation from the battle formation after all." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang heard this person say this, and knew that it must be a prevarication, but no matter what, there was still some truth in the words. Zhu Yuanzhang also understands that there are not many generals in the army who are competent for this, most of them are brave and unscrupulous, and there are very few generals who can be brave and resourceful like Xu Dana, and there are only a handful of them.

Thinking about it this way, Zhu Yuanzhang's face also softened a little.

When Chu Liuyan saw it, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's mind had calmed down a lot, so he said: "Speaking of which, people in the army like us will definitely not betray Wu Guogong." It's just that Chu Liuyan still has to be unhappy for Xu Da, and this grievance is that General Xu Da helped Wu Guogong to lay down half of the country. The soldiers under his command fought bloodily, and many times they were almost finished, if it weren't for God's blessing, I'm afraid they would have died on the battlefield long ago, where could they have survived to this day. It was our side that came here with the generals under General Xu. ”

"Could it be that the Chu military division thinks that the national prince can't see anything, these exploits of General Xu Da, the national prince sees them in his eyes and remembers them in his heart." Zhu Yuanzhang was not ambiguous, and immediately replied.

"Chu Liuyan still has an idea," this time Chu Liuyan used a positive way to present his feelings: "If you want Wu Guogong to promise that his subordinates will not be angry, Chu Liuyan dares to say it." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said: "If the Chu military division has any advice, come quickly, don't worry about anything." ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, he also spoke: "Since Wu Guogong said so, I don't have to hide it, today's matter was originally for Xu Da." No matter what Wu Guogong thinks, the generals under Xu Da and I have already decided, if we can see General Xu Da or not, I am afraid that only half of the soldiers will be able to follow Wu Guogong and go together to meet with General Tang He and General Chang Yuchun, and go together to fight against the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han. And most of the remaining soldiers under Xu Da's command will no longer obey Wu Guogong's orders, and ask Wu Guogong to think twice. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he already knew the meaning of the soldiers under Xu Da's command, Fang Zheng just wanted he, the largest military commander in Yingtian City, to release Xu Da, although he didn't say it clearly, but the faint meaning was extremely obvious, and Zhu Yuanzhang naturally wouldn't fail to understand the truth.

For a while, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to say or do, and the current situation was no different from the forced palace, although the generals under Xu Da's command respected themselves very much on the surface, but in fact, when they talked about the conditions at the bottom, they did not give an inch, and they must let themselves release General Xu Da first.

Li Shanchang on the side also knew in his heart that Zhu Yuanzhang's current situation was more difficult, so he scolded Chu Liuyan and the generals under Xu Da: "Presumptuous, you still say that you are not threatening Wu Guogong, this matter is almost threatening, you have already disobeyed the order last time, and without summoning today, you actually broke into Wu Guogong's mansion, which is like a rebellion." How can I spare your life? ”

Originally, the generals under Xu Da and Chu Liuyan came together to solve what General Xu Da said, but now not only could this matter not be resolved, but he was actually scolded by Li Shanchang, who was a little unaccustomed to seeing it on weekdays.

The generals under Xu Da's command couldn't swallow this breath, and some people stretched out their arms and sleeves, and wanted to step forward to settle accounts with Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang saw that he was hot and angry, and he saw the opportunity quickly, so he hurriedly got up and hid behind Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu.

The generals under Xu Da saw that Li Shanchang hid behind Zhu Yuanzhang, and they already knew that today's matter was already difficult, but Zhu Yuanzhang was the highest general inside and outside Yingtian City after all, so even the most daring and reckless generals under Xu Da did not dare to act rashly, after all, it was not a good thing to offend Zhu Yuanzhang for the sake of Li Shanchang.

However, the generals under Xu Da's command were not idle, so they sneered at Li Shanchang, who was hiding behind Zhu Yuanzhang, and scolded: "That turtle grandson, if you have the ability to stand there and don't run, what kind of ability is hiding behind someone's house, it's either a turtle or a screw, I found a shell, and I hid in it, don't you say it's a cold person." ”

Li Shanchang, who was hiding behind Zhu Yuanzhang, heard the shouting and scolding of these generals, and his face suddenly turned red, as if he had drunk many jars of old wine.

Li Shanchang also understood that hiding behind Zhu Yuanzhang like this really didn't look like what a decent man and gentleman did, but in the current form, if he didn't act like this, he would probably be torn apart by these angry generals under Xu Da's command, who even had a little red eyes.

Even if it's a little bad on the face, it's not too important, and you can get it back in the future.

If you lose your life, it will be difficult to do, not only will you not be able to recover face in the future, but you will not be able to live even if you want to. This kind of thing is not a trivial matter, and the lesser of two evils is chosen.

As a military advisor, Li Shanchang naturally understands this, because Li Shanchang saw that the situation was not good, and immediately decided to temporarily put down his personal face and hold his life first.

The generals under Xu Da's command sneered at Li Shanchang for a few words, only to see that Li Shanchang was just obediently hiding behind Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, and did not refute it, but let the people on his side wantonly slander, and he felt that it was meaningless and no fun at all.

Once the scolding generals lost interest, they naturally did not continue to sneer at Li Shanchang.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understands the current situation, although Zhu Yuanzhang is a little dissatisfied with Li Shanchang in his heart, because Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that Li Shanchang would come out to scold the generals under Xu Da's command, but he didn't expect that as soon as he saw that the generals under Xu Da's command had the intention of using force, he immediately retreated, and actually used himself as a shield.

Li Shanchang looked at himself as a person, if it weren't for the fact that Li Shanchang had a lot of help with his plan over the years, and he was also the one who knew the most about his affairs among so many generals and soldiers in the army, Zhu Yuanzhang would have decided not to keep this soft bone by his side in the future.

But after thinking about it, even if Li Shanchang is doing it, he can be regarded as saying something for himself that he is not easy to talk about, from this point of view, Li Shanchang can be regarded as doing himself a great favor, this favor is extremely important.

From these signs, it shows that no matter what he has done, Li Shanchang is always on his side.

Such a loyal person can be regarded as valuable, it is much more loyal than the group of generals under Xu Da under Xu Da, who are like wolves and tigers, who are constantly threatening to release Xu Da by themselves and let Xu Da return to military power.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth to defend Li Shanchang and said: "Generals, don't misunderstand, it's not that your own government and Li Junshi are unwilling to let General Xu Da out, you also know, the hundreds of thousands of Chuzhou soldiers and horses outside Tiancheng kept asking General Xu Da to be beheaded by his own public general Xu Da a few days ago, and in any case, his own government should give them General Xu Da's head as a sacrifice to the spirit of Han Lin'er, King of Xiao Ming. ”

As soon as they heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the generals under Xu Da's command were silent, after all, this matter is also known to all the generals, these generals know that Chuzhou soldiers and horses did have such a request for Wu Guogong, this major event, it was rumored that day, and it was impossible to refute Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he threw out these remarks, the generals under Xu Da had no idea, knowing that although this group of martial artists was extremely brave when they fought and killed the enemy, they still didn't know anything about these roundabout literary affairs.

With such a mind, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to the generals under Xu Da's command: "If it is not that the prince of China is unwilling to agree to your request, it is really that the prince of my country is also involuntarily, if it annoys the tens of thousands of Chuzhou soldiers and horses outside Yingtian City, I am afraid that these people will turn to the Han King Chen Youliang and join forces with Chen Youliang to fight back, at that time, how can we and other weak troops be able to withstand the joint attack of the elite Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Chuzhou." The government of the country is also a last resort, and I also ask all the soldiers to be considerate of the situation of the government of the country, and do not continue to force the government of the country to do this. ”

The generals under Xu Da's command listened to Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's words, although they felt that something was not quite right, but they still couldn't find out where the flaws in Wu Guogong's words were, and they couldn't help but look at each other, with some embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Naturally, many of the generals under Xu Da's command looked at Chu Liuyan in unison, Zhu Yuanzhang's tirade is not something that ordinary people can easily refute.

The generals under Xu Da knew that the ink in their stomachs was limited, and they couldn't find out the fault in Wu Guogong's words, nor could they use their old fists against Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang, so they had to bet their hopes on Chu Liuyan's body now.

The generals under Xu Da's command all hope that Chu Liuyan can come forward instead of them, and refute the words of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, if they are lucky, then the Duke of Wu will be able to release General Xu if he is exhausted, and at that time, even if he can get his wish.

Chu Liuyan came into contact with the blazing eyes of the generals under Xu Da, and knew that this matter would not be easy to do, but since so many generals had invested their hopes on themselves, Chu Liuyan naturally knew that no matter what, he still had to argue with Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, otherwise, even if he was facing the generals under Xu Da, he would not be able to explain.

Chu Liuyan sighed slightly, fixed his mind with some ups and downs, and then said in a manic voice: "Wu Guogong's words are wrong, the death of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, has no direct connection with General Xu Da, even if General Xu Da is to blame and should bear the responsibility for poor protection, but it is not a crime to death." Even if the generals of Chuzhou unanimously asked Wu Guogong to kill General Xu Da to avenge Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, it was just wishful thinking on the part of the soldiers of Chuzhou, as long as Wu Guogong's side could hold it, there was no need to give General Xu Da death. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Chu Liuyan's words, and secretly said something bad in his heart.

Chu Liuyan's words are not easy to answer.

If he admits that he sent Xu Da to kill Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, I am afraid that after today, he will be infamous, and he will have to bear the charge of killing the lord for the rest of his life, which is the last thing Zhu Yuanzhang wants to see, no matter what, Zhu Yuanzhang does not want the world to know that the death of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, is actually his own hands.

But if he didn't say this, Chu Liuyan's words vaguely mocked him for the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Chuzhou, and he didn't even care about the lives of his brothers with different surnames. I am afraid that so many Chuzhou generals present will turn their heads and never obey their orders in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that Chu Liuyan's words were so vicious, and after a few words, he could make himself unable to parry, and he didn't even know how to say the prevaricating words.

Li Shanchang, who was behind Zhu Yuanzhang, naturally understood the current situation, and he was also extremely anxious, thinking that Li Shanchang was putting himself in Zhu Yuanzhang's shoes for a while, and he also felt that Chu Liuyan's words were extremely difficult to reply.

If you speak recklessly, or if you don't speak properly, it is very likely to cause terrible consequences.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent, thinking about how to reply to Chu Liuyan's words, and after thinking for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly spoke: "Chu Junshi is responsible, the prince of my country is indeed at fault, if the prince of my country can be tougher in front of the generals of Chuzhou, there will be no disaster today." In the future, the public of our country will certainly learn from the painful experience, remember this lesson, and when we find ourselves in such situations in the future, we must take this as a warning and never repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang refused to answer Chu Liuyan's question head-on, and wanted to gently and skillfully unload this heavy question and responsibility, no matter what, some things are still extremely difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang today.

But Chu Liuyan didn't allow him to act so lightly, and still asked Zhu Yuanzhang unrelentingly: "Wu Guogong, it's not that Chu Liuyan still has to embarrass you today, it's just that the current big war is imminent, and the enemy is now." Many of the soldiers under Xu Da's command and many generals in the army want to know how Wu Guogong handled this matter, if Wu Guogong can't give you a clear answer, I'm afraid that after today, I should be the lieutenant general of the Heavenly Army scattered and morale is low. No matter what Wu Guogong wants to do with General Xu Da in his heart, I ask Wu Guogong to wait for a clear answer for me today. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he secretly blamed Chu Liuyan in his heart, after all, this kind of thing is very important, if there is news from here, it will cause many variables in the battle array, for example.

The biggest variable is naturally the hundreds of thousands of people in Chuzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang took great pains to envelop it, and now it is about to be completed, and after a period of time, it is possible to take these rare combat power under his command, if there is a little mistake now, it will not be easy to do. If the more than 100,000 soldiers in Chuzhou are not satisfied with their disposition, it is very likely that they will take refuge in the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, in the battle array.

What's more, the combat capability of the Chuzhou soldiers and horses is extremely strong, and after training outside Yingtian City for so long, the mountains and rivers outside Yingtian City also know very well about the geographical dangers, if you lead the Han army to attack Yingtian's weak defenses, I am afraid that the defense line outside Yingtian City carefully constructed by myself and a group of generals may not be able to resist the joint attack of these Chuzhou soldiers and horses and the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang.

If the Han army of the Han King Chen Youliang breaks through the periphery, then Yingtiancheng will be besieged by the Han army of the Han King Chen Youliang who replied to the letter like dumplings, even if Chen Youliang does not attack, firmly defend for a few months, cut off the water source in the city, I am afraid that within half a year, the city will run out of ammunition and food, and it will not be able to hold on no matter what.

If the city can't be defended, then there is no way to escape, the outside is guarded by the Han army like an iron bucket, naturally there is no way to escape, Zhu Yuanzhang knows that if Yingtian misses, the situation will turn sharply, and he will not be able to escape the fate of destruction.

At that time, the soldiers under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han who dragged down the Yingtian defenders, who were waiting for work outside, attacked the city in one fell swoop, so the day the city was broken, it was also the time of the fall of Wu Guogong.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this in his heart, and couldn't help but shudder, this kind of terrible thing must not be allowed to happen. If this kind of thing happens, not only will he be able to preserve the foundation of Yingtian, which he has worked hard to establish and have been operating for a long time, and even if he does not die, he will become a prisoner of the dog thief of Han King Chen Youliang.
