Chapter 30: Hatred of the Enemy
Chu Liuyan naturally understood the intentions of the soldiers under Xu Da's command, and was extremely sympathetic to the complaints of the soldiers under Xu Da's command, not to mention that in order to rescue Xu Da, Chu Liuyan's position was also the same as that of the generals under Xu Da.
As soon as Bai Chousheng saw Chu Liuyan's face, he immediately knew that Chu Liuyan had already fought hard in front of Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang, and maybe Wu Guogong had a lot of disputes.
Among the generals under Xu Da, there are some reckless and unfamiliar with current affairs, and some generals think that the reason why Wu Guogong did not let General Xu Da come out was because Chu Liuyan had no intentions and could not resist in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Chu Junshi, it's not that the last general has suspicions, it's just that now we have entrusted our lives and disobeyed orders, no matter what, Wu Guogong will not turn a blind eye, why to this day, Wu Guogong still doesn't take us to heart, does Wu Guogong really think that without our help, he can turn away the Han King Chen Youliang."
Chu Liuyan was stunned for a moment, this person spoke like this, on the surface, he said that Wu Guogong was not close to people, but after listening carefully, he accused himself of failing to do his best and not doing things well.
As soon as the general's voice fell, a general immediately echoed and said: "That's right, it is impossible for Wu Guogong to turn a blind eye, we are the generals under General Xu Da, and over the years, with General Xu Da's southern and northern wars, we have not tasted defeat." It is really the most elite army in Ying Tianfu, if we disobey the order, Wu Guogong will definitely not sit idly by. Now there is no movement, that is, the Chu military division has failed to tell the meaning of our waiting to the heavens, Wu Guogong must have not noticed the movement of our waiting, speaking of which, at this time, the Chu military division has failed to do his best, and he cannot tell Wu Guogong the hidden intentions of our waiting. ”
Chu Liuyan suddenly felt a sense of grievance in his heart, among these people in the big tent, even if he was not the person who wanted Xu Da to get out of trouble the most, it was not far behind. The generals under Xu Da's command were willing to sacrifice their lives for Xu Da, which he also admired very much. If you want to sacrifice your life to save Xu Da's life, you are also willing.
As soon as he thought of this, Chu Liuyan's heart fell, and he felt a piercing feeling of ice chilling into his bone marrow. Chu Liuyan understands that even if he makes sacrifices willingly, or does things silently behind his back, if he can't be seen by others, he will be misunderstood by others.
Since ancient times, there is no exception. Even saints will be framed by others, such as Confucius, of course, not when he was traveling around the world, he was expelled by the world, and he was like a lost dog, and he couldn't live in fear. Chu Liuyan remembered in his heart that Sage Kong had also had such an experience, and he felt much more comfortable in his heart.
However, his face couldn't help but be a lot gloomy, and Bai Chousheng next to him observed his words and looks, and immediately understood that what the unconcealed generals in the big tent said had already angered Chu Liuyan.
Bai Chousheng didn't want Chu Liuyan to be wronged, so he stepped forward and said, "If you don't know about this, don't talk nonsense." In order to rescue General Xu Da, the Chu army division has been running and calling for advice since ten months, but it can be said that he has done all his efforts. How can you suspect that the Chu military division did not fight with reason in front of Wu Guogong and did not do his best to rescue General Xu Da. What's more, the Chu military division and General Xu Da had a lifelong friendship, and General Xu Da also saved the life of the Chu military division, even if it is to repay the favor, the Chu military division will rescue General Xu Da without hesitation. ”
Several generals who were complaining about Chu Liuyan for not doing their best listened to Bai Chousheng's refutation, and knew that there was no way to refute Bai Chousheng's words, so they immediately fell silent, not daring to speak out again to complain about Chu Liuyan.
There were still a few people who didn't know the current affairs, although they were still chattering, but after talking for a while, they found that there were no other generals who echoed them, and then they lost their interest and stopped slandering Chu Liuyan.
Chu Liuyan only then realized that the generals under Xu Da were not monolithic, and although there were many generals who had the intention to rescue Xu Da, they were not necessarily heartbroken by themselves.
Just after such a incident, so many generals came out to accuse themselves, it seems that people's hearts are already a little scattered, and it is not so easy to tame all the generals in the army. Chu Liuyan was very strange, he didn't know what method Xu Da used to make so many generals under his command obediently obey orders, and no one dared to disobey orders easily.
Chu Liuyan suddenly gave a lot of respect to Xu Da, it seems that Xu Da still has extraordinary ability, he can actually make so many generals bow down and obey orders, just by virtue of this ability, he is also a rare commander in the army.
Chu Liuyan smiled at Bai Chousheng, and signaled his gratitude to Bai Chousheng for standing up and defending himself.
Bai Chousheng saw the bright-eyed Chu Liuyan smiling at him, and his heart was excited, and he almost couldn't hold it and fell to the ground, but fortunately, he could still maintain a trace of clarity in his mind, so he didn't make a fool of himself in front of the generals in the big tent.
Chu Liuyan quickly turned his face and said to the generals in the big tent: "According to what this military division has seen, although Wu Guogong has not yet agreed to release General Xu Da immediately, but from Wu Guogong's attitude, there is still a slight room for maneuver, as long as Wu Guogong understands the current situation one day, General Xu Da must come out to clean up, and that day will be the day when we and General Xu Da will meet again." This army division thinks that if General Xu Da can come back and lead the officers and soldiers in the army again, he will definitely be able to repel the arrogant Han King Chen Youliang in one fell swoop. ”
Chu Liuyan's inspiring words aroused the resonance of many generals in the big tent.
"Chu Junshi is right, when it comes to fighting, except for General Xu Da, there is no one else in the army who can compare with Chang Yuchun, the victorious general Chang Yuchun, even General Chang Yuchun is also very obedient to Xu Da, and often says in front of people that he is just the courage of a horseman, not as good as General Xu Da's wisdom and bravery, and his strategy is unparalleled, not to mention other generals in the army." A general said excitedly after listening to Chu Liuyan's words.
There are even generals who boast and say: "What the Chu military division said is that these things don't need to be said by the Chu military division, how can General Xu Da's subordinates be straw bales, each of them is a general who is in charge of his own affairs, and the soldiers under General Xu Da are also a top soldier, and no matter how many Han troops are afraid." It can be said that we are a team that can fight tough battles, no matter what kind of enemy army it is, even if it is not a human, it is a monster such as a bull head and horse face, it can be defeated with one blow. ”
"Dude, I've seen gold on my face in the past, but I've never seen such a shameless one." One of the generals beside him was a little tired of hearing this, and then kicked this person and scolded at him.
A general also said to the braggart general just now: "That's right, even if I can fight, but the Han King Chen Youliang's subordinates are not vegetarians, and they had a fight on the river last time, but they beat them and fled, it seems that there are also brothers." ”
The bragging general was exposed to his shortcomings in public, and he couldn't help but blush: "What do you say, you are all my brothers, and you are all talking about unassuming words." The last time we were defeated on the river, it was not because I and my subordinates refused to use our lives, but because the Han King Chen Youliang didn't know what secret method he had obtained, and he created an extremely terrifying warship fighting ship. The monsters, covered with iron sheets, and with many barbs and spears, were like an iron hedgehog, and the knives could not cut through them, and the fire did not work. When my subordinates saw it, they were all a little weak in their hearts, and they were defeated and retreated, this is not a relationship without strength, but even if they want to fight, they can't fight. ”
Saying that I, a general, couldn't help but sigh deeply, some of the generals who participated in the last battle with this general naturally knew the danger in the meantime, so they also sighed together with the generals who had just bragged.
There was even an old general who said well: "The general is right, the old man has experienced no less than hundreds of battles in his life, and this battle is the most sloppy, against the iron hedgehog-like enemy warship, even if he wants to attack from any direction, it is useless, and the old man still has palpitations to this day." If he encounters such a battle formation in the future, the old man will only have to flee for his life, and he will not dare to go forward to fight the enemy army at all, not because he is afraid in his heart, but there is really no possibility of victory. ”
A general who had not participated in the last water battle asked the old general in surprise: "Xiang General's statement, it is possible that the Han army is on top of the warship and has occupied an invincible position, and we can only be helpless, at most we are only passively beaten." ”
When the old general heard this, he nodded deeply, and then said: "I didn't want to say this, after all, it is a matter of growing the morale of others and destroying my own prestige." But now, I still have to advise you to robe, if you unfortunately encounter the warship of the Han army, you must be careful, if you can't fight, you will have to flee for your life, save your strength, and fight again. You must not compete for the length of the moment, and send it to death in vain. ”
As soon as the old general said this, Chu Liuyan's heart couldn't help but chuckle, although he knew that the Han King Chen Youliang had recently invented a new warship, and the last time Yingtian's sailors and Han army's sailors faced each other, they were also damaged for a while, and many Yingtian's sailors died on the river, but Chu Liuyan had only heard of the powerhouse of the warship, and had not personally experienced the danger in the meantime.
Do not see or hear things, and do not judge whether they exist or not. Chu Liuyan secretly recited in his heart, and felt that it was necessary to create an opportunity to touch the new warship of the Han King Chen Youliang to see if there was a way to crack it.
Now after listening to the old general's words, Chu Liuyan has only now figured out an extremely powerful killing weapon for the Han King Chen Youliang in a few months, Chu Liuyan suddenly felt that if he wanted to defeat the Han King Chen Youliang, it was a long way to go, and it was not so easy to achieve.
When the other generals heard about this, they also felt that the Han King Chen Youliang did have a set, not that the strength was not weak, and the Han army was indeed a strong opponent, and some generals couldn't help but have fearful thoughts in their hearts, and the originally high-minded generals also lowered their eyebrows and pondered, and they all secretly thought in their hearts that if they met the sailors of the Han King Chen Youliang in the future, how to deal with it, so that they could escape from such a terrible enemy.
The atmosphere in the big tent was low, and Chu Liuyan knew that something was wrong.
If the morale of Xu Da's subordinates to fight is so low, it will inevitably make these generals faintly hide a trace of fear in their hearts when they encounter the Han army in the future.
Since ancient times, there is a saying that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road. The soldiers under the command of Xu Da, who were afraid, encountered the Han army of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, who was also the division of tigers and wolves, and the victory or defeat was unknown.
Chu Liuyan frowned, thought about it, and laughed loudly at the generals in the big tent.
When all the soldiers heard Chu Liuyan's laughter, they all looked at each other, looking at each other, and they didn't know why Chu Liuyan was laughing.
Bai Chousheng also couldn't figure it out, so he opened his mouth and asked Chu Liuyan: "I don't know why the Chu military master suddenly laughed, and please give me instructions." ”
A group of generals also echoed and said: "My subordinates don't know why Chu Junshi suddenly laughed, please tell me why Chu Junshi laughed." ”
Chu Liuyan looked around at the generals in the big tent, continued to look up to the sky and laughed for a while, before he lowered his head and shouted: "You are also one of the best brave generals in the army, why were you actually frightened by Chen Youliang's strange and skillful skills of that dog thief, Chu Liuyan really couldn't understand. To tell you the truth, this division has already come up with the tactics and tools to restrain the Han army's warships, and is about to ask Wu Guogong to order the construction of a batch, as long as you can listen to the arrangements of this army division in the future, this army division can not only make you not have to worry when you encounter the Han warship, but also make it easy for you to defeat the enemy. ”
When the generals in the tent heard that Chu Liuyan had a wonderful way to break the enemy, they immediately smiled.
"Since the military advisor already has a way to break the enemy, we are so afraid of the Han army of the Han King Chen Youliang. To tell the truth, if it weren't for the powerful warship of Chen Youliang of the King of Han, how could I have been defeated so easily in the last Jiang War. The bragging general said with an indignant high-five.
"That's it, the Han army is naturally powerful, but I'm not a vegetarian."
"That's right, I waited for General Xu Da to fight in the south and the north, and I haven't seen what kind of battle, although I lost the last river water battle, I also lost many brothers. However, if there is a chance to take revenge, we will also go to meet the battle with the Chu army. ”
There was even a general who said in a rough voice: "Last time, most of my brothers died by the river, and even my younger brother was killed by the cold arrows of the Han army. ”
This man's words were echoed by a group of generals.
"That's right, it must be a tooth for a tooth, blood for a blood. We are bound to follow the Chu army division and General Xu to fight well with the Han army. ”
Chu Liuyan saw the indignation of the generals and knew that his heart was available. He gave orders to the generals: "As soon as the matter is over, this army division will immediately lead you to kill the enemy." ”
At this time, another person was also thinking about this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang had seen Xu Da since he went to the house under house arrest Xu Da, but he returned in vain, Xu Da had no intention of coming out with the old department to fight against the Han army of the Han King Chen Youliang and defend Ying Tiancheng.
For this matter, Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang was very depressed in his heart, not to mention that there was an extremely heartwarming thing waiting for him.
Waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to return to the signing room, a guard immediately came in to give a notice.
"Wu Guogong, the messenger came again the day before yesterday." After the guards came in, they knelt down on one leg and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang, and immediately threw out a headless sentence.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and hurriedly asked the guards: "What envoy, why is the prince of the country not impressed, could it be that the Han King Chen Youliang sent someone here to negotiate peace with me." ”
As soon as the guards heard this, they knew that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, had misunderstood his words, and hurriedly said: "Wu Guogong, it's not the Han King Chen Youliang who sent someone to negotiate peace, it's our general General Chang Yuchun who sent someone back from the front line to report the military situation." ”
"Oh, what did the man say?" When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Chang Yuchun had sent someone back to report the military situation, he hurriedly asked the guards: "What is the front line, did General Chang Yuchun block the Han army of Han King Chen Youliang." ”
The guard said uneasily: "Wu Guogong, military affairs, subordinates dare not ask, if Wu Guogong wants to know, his subordinates will let this person in immediately, but." ”
The guard said this, and suddenly paused, looking like he wanted to say something.
Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly said: "But what, you come quickly, you don't have to hide it, isn't there something bad happening?" ”
"It's not true, it's just that the subordinates saw that the envoy of General Chang Yuchun came this time with a more ugly face than the last time, and worried, it seems that the war on the front line is extremely unfavorable, and this person came quickly, and when he arrived at the door, the horse he was riding actually ran out of strength, and died of exhaustion at the gate of the house, and turned the messenger upside down. Please also ask Wu Guogong to be mentally prepared, if there is an unfavorable situation, it is easy to deal with it. As soon as the guards saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely concerned about this matter, they knew that even if they said a few more words, Wu Guogong would not blame him, so he simply said everything he saw.
Zhu Yuanzhang heard that the messenger sent by Chang Yuchun actually ran away from the horses, thinking that the battle must be extremely fierce, or something very bad may have happened, otherwise, it is not far from the front of Chang Yuchun and Tanghe to Yingtian, even if it is a fast horse, it will not be so.
Thinking about it, it must have been his people who urged the horses to run desperately, and sent out that this kind of thing happened when the horse arrived at the door of his mansion and immediately fell to the ground and died.
When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, he had already vaguely surmised that the military situation that Chang Yuchun sent a messenger back to report this time must be extremely bad.
