Chapter 116: Strange
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little panicked, if so many Chuzhou soldiers rioted, then his life would probably be put on hold here today.
I knew that these Chuzhou soldiers might as well deal with the law, and they would inevitably provoke a mutiny, but if they retreated to the camp tent, they would show weakness, and the other party would inevitably gain an inch, and things would be out of control.
So after thinking about it carefully, Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind, and walked towards the phalanx formed by the Chuzhou soldiers.
Xu Da originally wanted to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang, but when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's awe-inspiring face, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had already made up his mind to meet the Chuzhou soldiers. Busy with Chang Yuchun, who was protecting Zhu Yuanzhang on the other side, nodded, and the two of them escorted Zhu Yuanzhang left and right to the Chuzhou army together.
"Wu Guogong, how are we going to act?"
During the walk, Xu Da quietly asked Zhu Yuanzhang.
"The current situation is to persuade the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou not to rebel." Zhu Yuanzhang replied lightly.
Chu Liuyan and the other generals saw that Wu Guogong was in trouble alone, and they were all obliged to follow.
Therefore, the two sides walked in each other and walked for a while, only a few feet apart.
The soldiers slowed down, and when they approached the place, the soldiers of Chuzhou did not dare to move forward.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, and shouted sharply: "You are waiting for the formation to come, do you want to mutiny?" ”
A leader of the soldiers on the Chuzhou side replied tremblingly: "Wu Guogong, we are not trying to mutiny, but last night the Chuzhou sergeant and the Yingtian sergeant in the army fought with weapons, and the people in the Yingtian army killed several of my Chuzhou sergeants. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and shouted at him: "Last night's armed fight, the country's public has already known, it is said that both sides have been killed and injured, you keep saying that you want to pay for blood debts, then the country's public asks you, last night Yingtian's side of the victims, who do you want to ask for blood debts, should Yingtian's soldiers be lonely souls and wild ghosts, not waiting for revenge." ”
The soldiers in Chuzhou were speechless when they heard Zhu Yuanzhang's reprimand. Originally, he was instigated to demonstrate, and he didn't think about it thoroughly. Zhu Yuanzhang's polite and courteous refutation is really irrefutable.
At this time, I don't know who was in the Chuzhou formation, and asked: "General Yingtian, indiscriminately killing innocents, enforcing the law very harshly, actually killed several Chuzhou sergeants, how should this be calculated." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand these things, and he couldn't reply.
As soon as the Chuzhou soldiers saw that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, was silent, they made noise again.
Seeing this, Chu Liuyan lined up the generals, came to the side of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, and said to the soldiers of Chuzhou: "Wu Guogong doesn't know about this matter, but if you think about it, now that the war is imminent, the people in the army should practice seriously and not play at will." However, those officers and men in Chuzhou, instead of abiding by military discipline and pretending to be sick and not practicing, started a gambling game in the army. This kind of behavior is what the soldiers in the army should do. ”
The Chuzhou soldiers heard Chu Liuyan's reproach, and the momentum that had just been clamoring was exhausted.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the momentum of the Chuzhou soldiers had gone down, and he couldn't help but glance at Chu Liuyan gratefully.
Chu Liuyan also smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Chu Liuyan then said to the soldiers of Chuzhou: "Now that the king of Han is about to fight to the sky, we should have the same hatred of the enemy, but the people of all colors in the army have the courage to fight privately and are timid in public wars. There was such a mutual vendetta incident, when is the time to repay each other, not only do you not repent, but also gather people to make trouble, don't you be afraid of military law? ”
Chuzhou soldiers and Yong were now convinced, Chu Liuyan put forward the word military law in front of their orders, if the matter of gathering a crowd to make trouble is confirmed, and then a crime of rebellion is installed, it is the crime of killing the head. Therefore, Chuzhou Bingyong's heart was filled with a chill, and his legs and feet began to tremble.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and shouted: "Today, you wait to gather the crowd, if it is not for rebellion, then you don't gather together, go back to their respective camps to rest, and the prince can ignore this matter today." ”
When the Chuzhou soldiers heard the amnesty, they hurriedly dispersed as birds and beasts, and each returned to the camp.
Dadao Ao hugged his fists at Chu Liuyan and said: "Chu Junshi, today I saw that the military division was righteous and awe-inspiring to persuade Chuzhou soldiers, which is really impressive. ”
Chang Yuchun smiled on the side: "What is this, our Chu military division's ability is amazing, this is just a small skill of carving insects." ”
The general generals also stood up to Chu Liuyan, and at the critical juncture, they persuaded the Chuzhou soldiers who gathered to make trouble.
The generals laughed for a while, and then went back.
After everyone left, only Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chu Liuyan were left.
Xu Da saw that all the generals had left, and hurriedly whispered to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Wu Guogong, I have something to do, please ask Wu Guogong to take a step to speak." ”
Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, came back to Xu Da, and said, "Okay." But he didn't move under his feet, he just turned his head and glanced at Chang Yuchun and Chu Liuyan.
Xu Da immediately understood: "This matter also needs one or two of the Chu military division and General Chang's counselor, please come in with Wu Guogong." ”
Chu Liuyan and Chang Yuchun nodded, followed behind Wu Guogong, and went to Chang Yuchun's tent with Xu Da.
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang sat down, Xu Da stepped forward and said: "Wu Guogong, when your subordinates look at today's events, they infer that there must be someone behind the scenes behind the scenes, otherwise there will be no such gathering." ”
"General Xu, what is this?" Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang asked very attentively.
"Today, the generals in the army were all provoked by Wu Guogong's drums to fight, if there is no one to instruct them, it is absolutely impossible to gather so many Chuzhou soldiers." Xu Da replied without hesitation.
"What about the military advisor's opinion." Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and asked Chu Liuyan.
Chu Liuyan hurriedly replied: "I also agree with General Xu's meaning, if there is no one behind the scenes, these Chuzhou soldiers will not be able to act so neatly." ”
"Yes, the national government also has this question, but I don't know who is behind the scenes, and what is the intention of doing this." After Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he sighed slightly.
"What, isn't there a spy in the army? Does the military advisor know who this is, tell me Lao Chang, and I will arrest him immediately and hand him over to Wu Guogong. Chang Yuchun roared.
"Brother Chang, don't be in a hurry. As far as I can deduce, this person is very deeply hidden, but this person must have arranged the changes in the Japanese army in the past few days. Now the army is undecided, don't go too far, if it triggers a mutiny, it will be bad. We can only concentrate on the investigation, and we should not act rashly. ”
"Isn't this a grievance, forget it, don't let Lao Chang me do this kind of thing, military advisor, don't hand this matter over to Lao Chang me, you better find someone else, I can't do it." When Chang Yuchun heard that he had to act so carefully, he was already impatient, so he shirked the matter cleanly, and waved his hands around.
As soon as Chu Liuyan saw Chang Yuchun's situation, he said with a smile: "General Chang didn't take over this matter in the first place, and the general doesn't have to be anxious. ”
"That's good, that's good, even if the matter of killing people and breaking the formation is handed over to me for a long time, I can't do these troublesome things for a long time." Chang Yuchun saw that Chu Liuyan had peeped through his thoughts, his face turned red, and he said with a wry smile at Chu Liuyan.
"Master Chu, where do you want to start?" Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"The cause of the accident is those soldiers born who were born in the green-skinned scoundrels who started gambling in the army, and it was these people who brought the Chuzhou soldiers to fight bravely with the Ying Tian soldiers, I think I must know some news from these people." Chu Liuyan returned.
Xu Da was very worried and said: "Master Chu, these scoundrels in the market are all experts in telling lies with their mouths open, you have to be careful to deal with them." If these people open their mouths indiscriminately and climb at will, I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous to the army. ”
"General Xu, don't worry, I have dealt with market hooligans back then, and their tricks can't escape my eyes." As soon as the words came out, Chu Liuyan suddenly regretted a little, Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang was originally a green-skinned scoundrel, and now saying these things in front of him will inevitably bring embarrassment to Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "What the Chu military division said is right, I suffered a lot of losses in the hands of the military division back then, and my national government believes that this time there is a military division, and I will definitely be able to capture it." ”
"It's not too early, I'm going to the army to interrogate those prisoners." Chu Liuyan said a word, and ran out in a hurry.
As a result, to Chu Liuyan's surprise, these green-skinned rogue soldiers were very slippery, and Chu Liuyan interrogated for a day before he learned a little bit from a rogue soldier, and it was indeed someone who instigated. But who it is, this military man can't say.
When Chu Liuyan reported the news to Zhu Yuanzhang in the evening, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have lost interest in this matter, his face was indifferent, and he seemed to have something in his heart.
"Wu Guogong, is there something big in the army?" Chu Liuyan asked.
"Nothing serious." Zhu Yuanzhang returned absentmindedly.
"Is it that Chuzhou soldiers have begun to gather people to rebel again." Chu Liuyan asked again.
"No, no." Zhu Yuanzhang denied it.
Chu Liuyan's heart moved, and he hurriedly opened his mouth and asked: "Then why does Wu Guogong look sad, could it be that Chen Youliang, the king of Han, has already sent troops to attack Yingtian." ”
"No, there's no news from Hanyang. It's just that Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, came from Chuzhou with an urgent message asking me to hand over the military power. Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang finally opened his mouth to say the reason for his unhappiness.
"If you want Wu Guo Bus to send troops, now that the war is imminent, do you want to hand over the military power to Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, who is far away in Chuzhou, and let him sit in Chuzhou to control the battle situation remotely?" Chu Liuyan asked curiously.
"No, Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, came from Chuzhou at noon today, saying that he would personally come to Yingtian and let me hand over the military and political power to him, and he would be in charge alone." Zhu Yuanzhang said with some dejection.
Chu Liuyan was greatly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Why does Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, have such intentions, it is really shocking. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "I don't know why, what happened here spread to Chuzhou so quickly, and Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, sent a message to Yingtian to say that since the soldiers of Chuzhou cannot be controlled, it is obvious that I, the Duke of Wu, are not virtuous enough, so I will personally rush to Yingtian to command the army." ”
After hearing this, Chu Liuyan pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "No wonder, this matter is really strange?" ”
