After coming out of Zhangjiabao, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't mention how happy he was. He was arrogant and said with a smile: "I said a long time ago that Sima Changfeng would not give us the army, look, we only said one word, and he agreed." With this team of 3,000 people, it will be much easier to do anything in the future. ”

Xu Da was still a little worried, and said: "Chongba, I always feel that what Sima Changfeng said is not like what he said from the bottom of his heart. If he really wanted to give us the army, why didn't he give it at once, three days later? I always feel that in three days, things will change. ”

Chang Yuchun shouted loudly: "Tiande, don't grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige, you also heard what Sima Changfeng said, he also knows that we have won several battles in a row, and he must admire us in his heart." It was to be expected that he would surrender the army. This time I am on the side of Chongba, and I believe that Sima Changfeng will definitely hand over the army. ”

Xu Da sighed and had no choice but to say nothing. After going back, Zhu Yuanzhang told the "results" again, and this time, even Li Shanchang thought that Sima Changfeng would hand over the team. Only Xu Da and Chu Liuyan don't think so. They believe that Sima Changfeng finally had these 3,000 troops, and he himself will not fight the country, so he naturally hopes to find a strong person to rely on, so that he can be his founding hero, and Zhu Yuanzhang is now in its infancy, and Sima Changfeng may not agree with him. As for Zhu Yuanzhang's affection, Sima Changfeng may not be particular about them at this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang was full of ambition and said: "Since you think so, I won't say more, let's wait for three days." ”

Three days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for Sima Changfeng to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to receive the army. In order to show his solemnity, and at the same time to make Xu Da and Chu Liuyan believe what he said, Zhu Yuanzhang specially brought Lan Yu, Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Chu Liuyan, Chang Yuchun, Zhou Dexing and many others. When he arrived at Zhangjiabao, Zhu Yuanzhang said to the guarding soldier: "Please go and spread the word, and say that Zhu Yuanzhang has come to collect the army." ”

The soldier glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "I have never heard of Zhu Yuanzhang, let alone accepted any army." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily: "Of course you won't know, you just go and inform your castle master, and your castle master will promise me personally." When he comes out, everything will be clear. ”

But the soldier said nonchalantly, "Are you looking for our castle master?" Our castle lord was not at home and went out. ”

"What? Gone out? Zhu Chongba's face changed slightly, and he began to feel that something was wrong: "Where did your castle master go?" When will you be back? ”

The soldier replied, "How can I know where our castle lord has gone?" However, I heard that he went to a far, far away place to do a great business, and I certainly don't know when he will come back, but I don't think he will come back so soon, and I heard that our castle lord asked him to prepare a three-month coil. If you want to find my castle master, then please come back in three months. ”

"What? Trimester? Zhu Yuanzhang's face became very difficult to look at, it was obvious that Sima Changfeng may not have really gone out of his way, it was obvious that he deliberately let this soldier say this. What he did was nothing more than to turn Zhu Yuanzhang away and prevent him from receiving the army. Only now did he begin to believe the words of Xu Da and Chu Liuyan, knowing that Sima Changfeng would not give him the army so easily.

But since he has already come, is it just being tricked and leaving in disgrace?

Zhu Yuanzhang pushed hard, pushed the soldier to the ground, and said, "Okay, since your castle master is not here, I will go in and wait for him." If he doesn't come for three months, I'll wait for him for three months, if he doesn't come for three years, I'll wait for him for three years, and I don't believe that Sima Changfeng will never come back for the rest of his life. Hum! After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang walked inside.

The soldier became anxious and shouted, "Stop them!" Then dozens of people came out, all with weapons in their hands. The people on Zhu Yuanzhang's side also took out their weapons. The scene became tense and was about to erupt.

At this moment, a hearty laugh suddenly pierced. Sima Changfeng appeared.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and asked, "Brother Sima, what do you say about this matter?" It's clear that you said you were going to give me the army, why did you change your mind now? ”

Sima Changfeng said with a haha: "Brother Chongba, it's not that I changed my hexagram again, it's really that day, I wasn't sober in the first place." How can you take the words on the wine table seriously, do you say yes? After saying that, he laughed first and said, "I still have important things to do, so I won't accompany you." With that, he walked in. Only Zhu Chongba and the others were left standing in place.

When they returned, all the people were furious. Chu Liuyan and Xu Da were calm, they had already come up with a plan and informed Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked one of his subordinates to come over and invite Sima Changfeng to come over for dinner, and it didn't take long for this subordinate to come back, and said happily: "Return to the general, Sima Changfeng is ready, and he will come to the general's side immediately." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Then why didn't Sima Changfeng come with you?" ”

This subordinate hurriedly replied: "The castle master said that since the eldest brother has memorized such a good famous dish to invite him over for dinner, he will not dare to be unreasonable. So let the little brother come back first, he will make some gifts first, and come over to the banquet immediately.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and smiled slightly, he knew that this greedy castle lord Sima Changfeng couldn't avoid this clever plan set up by Chu Liuyan.

Although this is a Hongmen feast, it is a Hongmen feast with no return. Zhu Yuanzhang still admired Chu Liuyan's clever plan in his heart, and he could make this Sima Changfeng Fort master submit without a single soldier or a shot, what a gratifying thing.

So Zhu Yuanzhang said such and such secret words to this subordinate, and this subordinate listened to it sincerely, and immediately went out according to Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions.

Sima Changfeng is good at everything, but when he was a child, his family was poor and he didn't have anything to eat, so after he became the owner of the castle later, unlike some other castle owners on the mountain, he didn't covet any beauty or anything like that, but he was extremely fond of this appetite. So today's listening to Zhu Yuanzhang set up a banquet for him to invite the wind, is already extremely happy, from the mouth of the newspaper to learn that this Zhu Yuanzhang actually specially prepared a famous dish that he has coveted for a long time, suddenly moved his index finger, actually drooled at the waiter, before shedding more saliva, this Sima Changfeng already knew that he was a little out of order, so as long as he reluctantly endured, and then quickly sent the messenger of Zhu Yuanzhang. Then he went back to the house, wrapped some gold and silver indiscriminately, came out of the hall, caught a little minion, explained the affairs of the village in three sentences, and then ran out with the package containing gold and silver.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates came out, they saw that the castle lord in the distance had already run over, and before he could figure out how this guy came so fast, Sima Changfeng Castle Lord had already arrived in front of him.

Sima Changfeng saw this messenger who came to his tent to report the news, and said very happily: "Brother Chongba actually let you come out to greet you, it's really hard for you, since the lord of this fort has come, then you don't have to report it, just lead the lord of this fort to the banquet, and it doesn't hurt for me to meet him at the banquet." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates heard this person say this, they had already secretly scolded this gluttonous ghost in their hearts. "Hehe, you Sima Changfeng Castle Master, you are still thinking about eating when you are dying. What kind of banquet, wine and meat, it is estimated that you can only go down to the ground and ask Lord Yama to invite you to eat. ”

Although this subordinate like this thought so in his heart, he still smiled on the surface, and after listening to Sima Changfeng's words, he said: "Since it is the will of the Lord of Sima Fort, the above has already ordered, and everything is subject to the will of the Lord of Sima Fort." Since the castle lord wants to meet at the banquet, then I will lead the castle lord over there. ”

After speaking, he led Sima Changfeng in.

After a few gates, when he arrived at the camp, Sima Changfeng saw Zhu Yuanzhang standing at the door of the camp tent, thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang was waiting for him there.

So Sima Changfeng immediately greeted him, and said: "There is labor, there is labor." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Sima Changfeng: "Zhu has been waiting for someone for a long time, someone is coming." ”
