"General Xu Da, why are you tying your hands?" Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally silent, asked.

Xu Da hurriedly knelt down and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu: "The sin general Xu Da knew that he was ordered to go to Chuzhou to welcome Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, to Yingtian, but he was not well protected halfway, causing the boat that King Xiao Ming was riding to be attacked by the wind and waves, so that King Xiao Ming was wrecked and died. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while and asked: "General Xu, is it true that you said that King Xiao Ming was swept away by the wind and waves, and whether King Xiao Ming is still alive in the world." ”

"Wu Guogong, this matter is impossible, after the wreck of King Xiao Ming, his subordinates sent a large group of people and horses, searched along the river bank for a long time, and pursued hundreds of miles up and down, except for a few water currents and slowed out to find a few corpses of soldiers on the boat of King Xiao Ming Han Lin'er, there is no trace of King Xiao Ming, according to his subordinates, the body of King Xiao Ming must have sunk into the silt at the bottom of the river, but Xu Da also wished that King Xiao Ming was not dead, so he left more than ten people in the local area, and ordered them to stay here and continue to explore the news of King Xiao Ming."

"In this way, Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, has already been buried in the river." Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"According to the inference of his subordinates, this matter is the most likely, even if King Xiao Ming can escape and jump into the river when the wind and waves hit the big ship and capsize, but the river is far away, and the place where the boat capsized is just in the middle of the river, and the wind and waves are high, and Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, has no reason to survive."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, walked to Xu Da and the other soldiers, and glanced at everyone with a sharp gaze.

"The prince of my country asks you to wait for one thing, whether what General Xu Da said is true, and whether Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, really fell into the water and died." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly squeezed out a cold sentence from under his teeth, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard it.

A brave soldier replied with courage: "Tell Wu Guogong, what General Xu Da said is indeed what we have seen, after the boat of Xiao Ming King Han Lin'er was overturned by the wind and waves, only General Xu Da escaped with his life, but General Xu Da touched the water to rescue Xiao Ming King, but several times in vain. Later, not long after, General Xu Da lost his strength, I saw that General Xu was in danger, so I went into the water to rescue General Xu, who knows how long it took to rescue him, General Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and then jumped into the river to salvage the body of King Xiao Ming, but the wind and waves were too strong at that time, and I didn't dare to let General Xu Da do this dangerous thing, so I rescued him again. ”

Chu Liuyan hurriedly asked with concern: "Later, did General Xu Da jump into the river again?" ”

"I knew that General Xu Da couldn't make trouble again, so I rescued General Xu Da to the small boat, and then dragged General Xu Da into the cabin. Bing Yong replied.

Hearing this, Chu Liuyan hurriedly cast a reproachful look at Xu Da, meaning to say, "How can you forget all the words I taught you before leaving, why do you want to do such a stupid thing." ”

Xu Da ignored Chu Liuyan's eyes, and still said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Wu Guogong, my subordinates were ordered to go to Chuzhou to welcome King Xiao Ming to Yingtian to inherit the unification, but unexpectedly, such a tragic thing happened halfway. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he pondered for a moment and shouted: "Come on, the crime of protecting King Xiao Ming will be pulled down, and after waiting for three days, the execution will be refused, so as to be a typical example." The rest of the soldiers were temporarily detained to see what to do. ”

Xu Da was also shocked when he heard this, originally thought that at most he would be sentenced to a crime of unfavorable affairs, and he would be beaten with hundreds of military sticks, but now he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, seemed to want his life, so Xu Da's heart was also quite shocked.

With Zhu Yuanzhang's loud shout, many knife and axe hands rushed into the house, captured Xu Da and a group of soldiers, and pushed them out.

When Chu Liuyan first heard this order from Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, it was like hearing a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he was stunned and couldn't say anything.

waited until a lot of knives and axes rushed in outside the house and pushed Xu Da and the others out, Chu Liuyan came to his senses, Chu Liuyan hurriedly said to Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang: "Although General Xu Da has made a mistake, but the crime is not to death, why did Wu Guogong act like this, and he was determined to execute General Xu Da, wouldn't Wu Guogong be afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong stared at Chu Liuyan and said: "Chu Junshi, you don't know, now more than 100,000 people and horses in Chuzhou are watching me how to deal with this matter outside Yingtian City, if I have the slightest fault in handling this matter, these people are likely to defect, if there is a mutiny in the army, then even if I have several times more troops in my hands, it will be useless." ”

Chu Liuyan said angrily when he heard this: "In this way, Wu Guogong must have put General Xu Da to death, but Wu Guogong, you have to think about it, if it weren't for General Xu Da being ordered to send an envoy to Chuzhou to welcome Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, to Yingtian, and eliminate the trouble in your heart, now your military power is probably already taken away by Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, looked at Chu Liuyan coldly and said: "Master Chu, your words are not unreasonable, if Xu Da does not go to Chuzhou to complete this matter for me, the Duke of China is really not sure that he will be able to capture Yingtian's military power, but now the situation inside and outside Yingtian City is like this, and I have no choice but to do it." ”

Chu Liuyan listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's argument and said angrily: "If, as Wu Guogong said, he is afraid of provoking the soldiers in Chuzhou to mutiny because of the incident of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, isn't Wu Guogong afraid that the soldiers in the hands of General Xu Da will be dissatisfied with Wu Guogong's handling because of this matter and cause problems in Yingtian?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said: "Master Chu, what do you mean by this, could it be that Yingtian's army will also rebel." ”

"I'm just reminding Wu Guogong that if such an incident really happens at that time, I'm afraid Wu Guogong will be very busy." Chu Liuyan sneered intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly asked: "Chu Liuyan, this kind of incident is going to happen in the army you just mentioned, is this really possible?" ”

"Whether things are possible or not is just in Wu Guogong's thoughts." Chu Liuyan gave an ambiguous answer, which made Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang confused, and he didn't know if he should continue to ask about this matter.

"Wu Guogong, Chu Liuyan's words are all here, you should think about General Xu's disposition." Chu Liuyan left a sentence and left.
