Although Zhu Yuanzhang is also very energetic about this matter, he is not confused at all in his heart, and he has dealt with the Chuzhou generals so many times, and he knows what the Chuzhou general Zhu Yuanzhang knows, no matter what, as long as there is Liancheng Jue sitting in the Chuzhou barracks, it is not so easy to deal with.

Zhu Yuanzhang's worries are not unreasonable, even Li Shanchang after listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words was a little moved, after all, it is very rare to say words of admiration for a person from Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth.

And at present, Zhu Yuanzhang actually has a sympathy for Chuzhou's Liancheng Jue, and it seems that Liancheng Jue is by no means an easy person to deal with.

But if you don't deal with Liancheng Jue, you won't be able to deal with these things properly. If you want to promote the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Chuzhou and the soldiers under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, to fight bravely for a while, the goal cannot be successfully achieved.

Li Shanchang thought of this, and suddenly felt a little disheartened, he naturally understood that Zhu Yuanzhang also hoped that this matter could be successful, but from Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Li Shanchang also understood that it was not easy to make this matter and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shanchang and didn't speak for a long time, knowing that he might be speaking in too heavy a tone, and vetoing Li Shanchang's idea so quickly would inevitably make Li Shanchang feel unhappy.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Li Shanchang: "The country's public veto this matter is not because he thinks that Mr.'s proposal is not feasible, but because of the current opportunity, he cannot pin his victory over the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, on outsiders." No matter how capable the Chuzhou generals are, they are still some people who have not yet been subdued by us, and if they rashly entrust this matter to outsiders, I am afraid it will not be beneficial to reverse the situation at all. ”

Li Shanchang nodded and said, "Wu Guogong's words are indeed heart-wrenching. No matter what, after all, it's your own people who are reliable. ”

"That's right, no matter how capable Lian Chengjue is, even if he surrenders to me in the future, his status in my mind is far inferior to that of Li Junshi." Zhu Yuanzhang said this intentionally or unintentionally.

When Li Shanchang heard this, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly stood up and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Wu Guogong values his subordinates so much, even if his subordinates are smeared, they can't repay them. ”

After saying that, Li Shanchang bowed deeply to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hand to support Li Shanchang and said cordially: "Li Junshi doesn't need to be polite, there are no outsiders here, why bother to give me such a big gift." ”

Li Shanchang naturally knew that Zhu Yuanzhang must have bought himself when he said this, but even so, Li Shanchang felt that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, was indeed his own reliance.

No one thought that the world was unpredictable, and many years later, the green-skinned scoundrel had become Wu Guogong, the most powerful person in Yingtian City.

And although he is subservient, he has also reached the point where he is above 10,000 people under one person, and he is faintly a very popular minister, and he can expect to be rich.

Li Shanchang suddenly felt that his life was not in vain, and he would definitely be able to become rich and wealthy in the future with Zhu Yuanzhang, but the premise of getting all this was to help Zhu Yuanzhang eliminate all the characters who might pose a threat to Wu Guogong in this troubled world, no matter how strong that person was, he would also be defeated.

This is the mission of helping Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang stared at Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and said to himself secretly in his heart.

"Since Wu Guogong has no intention of doing this, it is inconvenient for me to be strong." Li Shanchang said to Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said: "Master Li, the Duke of China knows that everything that Master Li has done is to be able to remove the roadblocks on the Dabao Road for me, but there are some things that cannot be achieved if you want to hurry. We must wait patiently, wait for the opportunity, and wait until the time is ripe before we can give it a go. Otherwise, it is very likely that we will be surprised by the snake, and it will also cause others to perceive our intentions, and if this is the case, not only will we not be able to achieve things, but it is very likely that we will be beaten and everything will be ruined. ”

When Li Shanchang heard this, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's remarks still wanted to persuade himself not to do it rashly. smiled and said to this Zhu Yuanzhang: "Wu Guogong is right, I will be careful in the future, and I will never act rashly." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Li Shanchang's face did not show the slightest anger, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he already understood that Li Shanchang had listened to his words.

Sure enough, Li Shanchang then spoke: "Since the external force is not enough to rely on, Wu Guogong must have other good strategies in his heart, I don't know if I can inform my subordinates." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply and said: "I actually don't have any particularly good ideas, but the current situation is absolutely impossible to rely on external forces, otherwise even if the tiger in front of me is driven away, it is very likely to lure the vicious wild wolf into his den." ”

Li Shanchang was slightly stunned, and soon understood, Zhu Yuanzhang meant that if the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, was driven away with the help of more than 100,000 Chuzhou military horses, it was very likely that the Chuzhou soldiers and horses who had made great contributions would get a chance. It is very likely that the vicious wolves will be lured into their dens.

These words are naturally not unreasonable, but Li Shanchang also knows that another reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is unwilling to rashly use external forces is that he does not want other forces to infiltrate Yingtian City. In this way, it is very likely that Zhu Yuanzhang's authority will be challenged.

Zhu Yuanzhang absolutely cannot tolerate this.

Li Shanchang saw it very thoroughly, Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to let the army from outside enter Ying Tian, who really meant this.

However, Li Shanchang is not a fool, and he will not show this meaning in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, but will throw the problem back to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood Li Shanchang's intentions, but he didn't have anything special.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "I invited the military advisor to come over today, originally to ask the military advisor for advice on how to deal with the current situation, but I didn't expect the military advisor to leave the problem to my own country." ”

Li Shanchang also smiled and said: "Wu Guogong's holy candle shines, everything is in Wu Guogong's insight. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and patted Li Shanchang on the shoulder and said: "It's not that I don't want to tell this matter, it's just that this matter is not trivial, if it is not done well, I am afraid that the more than 100,000 soldiers in Chuzhou will not be able to explain it." ”

When Li Shanchang heard this, his face changed greatly, and he said to Zhu Yuanzhang in great surprise: "Could it be that Wu Guogong wants to release General Xu Da and reactivate General Xu Da." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank, and he said in a low voice: "This is just an idea at the moment, and it has not yet been realized, but one thing is certain, General Chang Yuchun, who is extremely powerful in the army, has also tasted defeat in front of the Han army of Han King Chen Youliang this time, and there is only General Xu Da in the army who can be with General Chang Yuchun for a long time, if Xu Da can't be released, it is a pity to still let him lead the troops to fight." ”

Saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang blinked his eyes and said: "At present, the generals under Xu Da's command have disobeyed orders, and it is really an extremely wasteful thing to order such a strong force to still not build outside Yingtian City." As long as Xu Da is willing to come out, he can bring this extraordinary combat power to the front of the team, if General Chang gets this assistant, he will definitely be able to guard the battle line and prevent the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang from breaking through wantonly, and he can also protect Yingtian City. ”

Li Shanchang originally didn't want Zhu Yuanzhang to release Xu Da, but the current situation is really not good. It was Zhu Yuanzhang who said these things to him, and Li Shanchang did not particularly resist.

"Why did the situation change so much, didn't it originally mean that General Chang Yuchun had retreated for more than thirty miles and had already held his position." Li Shanchang asked the question instead.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "Today, General Chang sent someone to our army, and said to me that Chen Youliang, the king of Han, deliberately launched a treacherous scheme, and General Tang He was caught off guard, and was broken through the camp by the Han army. Later, General Tang He was able to clean up the remnants, and still joined forces with General Chang, struggling to resist the impact of the Han army, but he had no choice but to abandon the original camp, retreat more than ten miles, and choose a new dangerous place to set up a camp. ”

"In this way, Han King Chen Youliang is really insidious and cunning, and he actually did this kind of thing, for us and others, Chen Youliang is really a big enemy, and we must not ignore it for a while." Li Shanchang said with some emotion.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, nodded and said: "What Li Junshi said is very true, this haunting Han King Chen Youliang is the fierce rival of the Duke of China's life, if you can't destroy this person, it is unthinkable to get the world, and there will be a decisive battle between the Duke of China and the King of Han, I don't know when, I will have to fight to the death with the soldiers under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang." ”

"What Wu Guogong said is that if we can defeat Chen Youliang, the king of Han, then the world is in our pocket."

Li Shanchang's words naturally touched Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and it is naturally Zhu Yuanzhang's long-cherished wish to ascend to the treasure and set the world down.

If you can get the world, none of the heroes and heroes in the world are unwilling.

Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception, Zhu Yuanzhang, who started after Haoliang, is no longer a green-skinned scoundrel in the countryside, and over the years, Zhu Yuanzhang's ambition and enthusiasm have become bigger and bigger.

Zhu Yuanzhang has long been unwilling to compete with others for domination of the world, or to the unproductive smuggler Zhang Shicheng to settle in the south of the Yangtze River, such a partial approach is deeply rejected by Zhu Yuanzhang in his heart.

A manly man with a dignified seven-foot body, An Neng has no ambitions, and is willing to be a bird with a narrow vision and steal to be spurned by others.

Liu Xiang didn't study, Zhu Yuanzhang admired these two predecessors very much, Liu Bang was just a hooligan like him back then, relying on the support of fox friends who generally fight cocks and lackeys all day long, and sat on a pavilion chief. One day, I saw Xuan He's unusual honor guard when Qin Shi Huang went out on patrol on the street, and I couldn't help but sigh: "The husband should be like this." And the Han Gaozu Liu Bang's biggest opponent, the overlord of Chu, when he came out with his uncle to watch Qin Shi Huang's tour, he also saw the illustrious majesty, so he said to his uncle next to him: "He can take his place." ”

How heroic this is, even when Zhu Yuanzhang, who is a descendant, was chatting with his father in the countryside, after hearing these oral stories, the blood in his whole body suddenly boiled, and he was pushed to an emperor and ascended to the Dragon Court by himself, how could such a major event not be exciting.

What's more, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's backgrounds are not much better than Zhu Yuanzhang.

are all scoundrels, and there is no need for Zhu Yuanzhang to come less when he did the absurd things in his early years.

After listening to these stories, Zhu Yuanzhang began to sprout in his heart a thing that a good citizen who keeps his duty will not think about it, that is, to overthrow the emperor, ascend to the great treasure by himself, and make his own decisions.

For such a purpose, Zhu Yuanzhang has been working hard for many years.

For a long time, many brothers with different surnames who followed their hometown died on the way to the top.

And the killing on the battle array also made Zhu Yuanzhang more and more ruthless, and his originally kind and soft heart was also sharpened as hard as iron and stone.

Failed many times, and was beaten by others many times and was about to be destroyed, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not give up in the end, because Zhu Yuanzhang was determined that if he could not achieve the final goal, he would not fall down easily.

came over with such a lot of relents, and the power gradually grew, and he also laid down Ying Tiancheng and became Wu Guogong.

But at the moment, another force did not allow Zhu Yuanzhang to do this, and was determined to destroy Zhu Yuanzhang's forces.

Han King Chen Youliang laid out this time, and unexpectedly led troops to conquer Yingtian, in fact, he wanted to wipe out Zhu Yuanzhang, a great enemy who might threaten Chen Youliang's future domination of the world, and Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally unwilling to fall into the hands of this old acquaintance.

In any case, to hand over the great foundation created to others, this is really unbearable for Zhu Yuanzhang.

"No matter what, I won't let Chen Youliang, that dog thief, break through Yingtian, Chen Youliang wants to enter the city, unless he steps on my Zhu Yuanzhang's corpse." Zhu Yuanzhang angrily stretched out his hand and patted the case in front of him, got up by himself, and paced around the room.

Although Li Shanchang didn't know the thoughts in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, the angry expression on Zhu Yuanzhang's face and this radical move undoubtedly declared Zhu Yuanzhang's heart to Li Shanchang.

"Wu Guogong, now we still have to plan the overall situation first, if General Chang Yuchun and General Tang He in front of you can't withstand the impact of the soldiers under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, and retreat to the city. At that time, it will be dangerous. I don't know how Wu Guogong is preparing to deal with this matter in his heart. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understands this truth, but if he wants to directly say in front of Li Shanchang that he released Xu Da and asked Xu Da to lead his troops to fight against the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he was really a little unspeakable.

Zhu Yuanzhang was hesitating whether to open his mouth to Li Shanchang to say what he was thinking, when suddenly there was a noise of footsteps and shouting outside the door, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and had not yet reacted.

saw that the door curtain was lifted, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang hurriedly stood up when they saw this.

I saw Chu Liuyan swept in with a gust of wind against a group of people.

"Master Chu, what do you want to do, you just want to make trouble." Li Shanchang has always felt that his talent is not as good as Chu Liuyan, coupled with a temperament that can hold grudges.

Last time, Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang adopted Chu Liuyan's strategy and defeated Chen Youliang, at that time, Li Shanchang felt that it was too risky and resolutely opposed Chu Liuyan's strategy.

However, the battle situation actually developed towards Chu Liuyan's pre-planned situation, and finally burned Chen Youliang's sailor, making Li Shanchang lose face in the army, and the jealous Li Shanchang was naturally angry about these things.

After this battle, Chu Liuyan's prestige in the army was greatly improved, and Li Shanchang was also compared to him, Li Shanchang has always wanted to find an opportunity to fight Chu Liuyan, but he has never had a chance.

Today, he was finally seized by Li Shanchang, and Li Shanchang was unwilling to let it go, so he immediately criticized him.

At this time, a group of noisy soldiers had already crowded into Zhu Yuanzhang's signing room, and the originally small room was even more cramped. Then several guards also swarmed in, shouting that the generals should not enter the military places without permission.

"Master Chu, what happened, why did you come here with so many generals." Zhu Yuanzhang's face was a little panicked, and when he saw that most of the generals brought by Chu Liuyan were people under Xu Da's command, he already understood most of them in his heart, and deduced that so many soldiers must have come for Xu Da.

However, as the highest military general of Ying Tianfu, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, did not want to show weakness, so he pretended to be calm and asked.

Chu Liuyan didn't come to the palace, hugged his fists at Zhu Yuanzhang, smiled slightly and said: "Wu Guogong doesn't need to panic, we have no malicious intent today, but the soldiers in the army are willing to go to the front with me to help General Chang Yuchun and Tang He, and resist the attacks of the soldiers under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, and keep Yingtian City safe." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he didn't expect that Chu Liuyan and a group of generals did not come to coerce him to release Xu Da, but to fight against the enemy at the front.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some disbelief: "Master Chu, are you really going to the front line with these generals this time to fight against the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang?" ”

Chu Liuyan couldn't help but snort slightly: "Wu Guogong doesn't need to be suspicious, we all took the initiative to ask for help, and we are willing to follow Wu Guogong to fight against the Han army." ”

"That's true." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile at Chu Liuyan.

"There is no lie, you soldiers can testify." Chu Liuyan replied with a solemn face.

"We are willing to follow Wu Guogong and join forces with General Chang Yuchun and General Tang He to jointly resist the Han King Chen Youliang." The generals behind Chu Liuyan were also unambiguous, and shouted in unison to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was overjoyed. originally thought that it would be extremely difficult to deal with the generals under Xu Da's command, but from the current point of view, these generals did not mean to resist themselves, maybe these people disobeyed orders and did not listen to their orders a few days ago, just to rescue General Xu Da.

Yesterday, he relaxed a little, and after Chu Liuyan learned about it, he must have informed the generals under Xu Da's command, and these generals were also very knowledgeable, knowing that they could not compete with themselves, and now they had already thrown themselves to their side.

If these generals can be dispatched, then even if the soldiers under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, are extremely strong, they will not be afraid.

This is a rare new force.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses, Chu Liuyan stepped forward and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Now that the situation is urgent, please Wu Guogong give an order quickly, and order half of the generals under Xu Da's command to quickly obey my orders and go to the front to resist the enemy." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses and knew that something was wrong.

"Strategist, I can hand over all the soldiers under Xu Da's command to you for temporary command, as long as you can defeat the Han King Chen Youliang, no matter what."

Chu Liuyan resolutely shook his head and said, "It's not that Chu Liuyan is unwilling to do his best, it's just that only half of the generals under Xu Da's command are willing to obey my orders and follow me to fight against the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, and then asked Chu Liuyan in shock: "In this way, half of the soldiers refuse to obey the orders of their own dukes. ”

"What Wu Guogong said is true, it is true that some soldiers are only willing to obey General Xu Da's orders, and some generals even let out their words, even if Wu Guogong is in person, they are not willing to obey Wu Guogong's orders. If Wu Guogong wanted to send them out to fight against the Han army under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang, he would first release the detained Xu Da. ”
