Chapter Eighty-Four: King Xiao Ming

Chu Liuyan couldn't help but praise: "General Zhao is fast, but he is no different from General Chang Yuchun in the army. ”

Zhao Qingtai said: "General Chang Yuchun is famous, but he has been famous for a long time, but it is a pity that he has never met, but now he can meet him." He burst out laughing.

Zhao Qingtai, who Chen Youliang heard, rebelled against Zhu Yuanzhang with the soldiers of the whole city in Hongdu, and was naturally furious, but Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, who was attacking Anfeng, was at an urgent juncture, and he couldn't divide his troops, so he put it aside for the time being. Chen Youliang thought about sweeping Han Lin'er first, and then captured Hongdu after returning to the division.

Eager to end the war, the squad returned to the division, and naturally the momentum of the attack was much more violent.

Han Lin'er originally thought that Chen Youliang would inevitably return to his division to attack Hongdu, and then Anfeng's pressure would naturally be much less. However, the actual situation was much more than he expected, and instead of showing signs of joining the teacher, Chen Youliang stepped up his attack. Anfeng is already in danger, and he is in the twilight.

In a hurry, Han Lin'er took advantage of Chen Youliang's relaxed attack at night and quietly sent several clever soldiers down to the city. These soldiers, carrying Han Lin'er's handwritten letter for help, took advantage of the night to sneak out of the encirclement of the Han army and disappeared into the night.

Chu Liuyan and Xu Da had just come back and told Zhu Yuanzhang how to persuade Hong Dushou to return Zhao Qingtai to Shun, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy after hearing this, and rewarded Xu Da and Chen Youliang heavily. Then he told the two that Chen Youliang saw that Ying Tiansuo couldn't fight, and he couldn't attack for a long time, so he had already abandoned Ying Tian and turned to attack Han Lin'er, Xu Chu and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But two days later, Chu Liuyan was invited to the big tent by the soldiers sent by Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Chu Liuyan came to Zhu Yuanzhang's tent, he found that Xu Da, Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang had already arrived and were passing on a letter. The three of them whispered as they watched each other, as if they were arguing about something.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang saw Chu Liuyan coming in, he hurriedly stood up and said to Chu Liuyan: "Master Chu, Han Lin'er was attacked by Chen Youliang, and sent someone to send a letter to our army for help, begging me to send troops to rescue. The national government has not yet been commissioned, and I want to hear what you mean. ”

Chu Liuyan took the letterhead from Xu Da's hand and looked at it, only to see that it read: "This king was attacked by Chen Youliang, the situation is critical, and at dusk, he cried blood and called on Wu Guogong to quickly divide his troops to rescue. At the end of the letterhead, solemnly stamped with a seal, it is indeed the seal of King Xiaoming.

Chu Liuyan had just finished reading it, and Li Shanchang, who was listening, shook his head at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "King Xiao Ming's letter is sincere, and it is stamped with the seal of the jade seal, and it is expected that it will definitely not be faked." Wu Guogong might as well divide his troops and rescue King Xiaoming, since he can follow Cao Cao's example of the Son of Heaven and then as for Xu Du, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and make the rebellious army of the world bow down to obey orders. ”

Xu Da also agreed: "Li Junshi's plan, Xu Da is also very much in favor, divide the troops to save King Xiaoming, and also become the name of Wu Guogong benevolence and righteousness, such a good opportunity, not to be missed." Please send troops as soon as possible. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang has heard a lot of storytelling, and when he heard Li Shanchang and Xu Da's plan, he felt that it was very much in line with his own meaning, and he was thinking about making a decision, so Liu Bowen might as well stand up and say: "No, the current situation is not comparable to that of the Three Kingdoms, although the Han family is weak, but after all, it is the orthodoxy of the Son of Heaven, and all civil and military officials obey orders, which is the basis for Cao Cao's plan to be feasible." Looking at it now, the prestige of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, is not good, and the generals do not obey orders, if he is rescued, it will not be good, Chen Youliang will definitely be angry with our army and return to the division to attack me. It is foolish to think that it is better to be still than to be still, and it is better to stop and wait and see what happens. ”

Chu Liuyan listened to what Liu Bowen said, and also said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "What Liu Bowen said is very true, if you really save King Xiao Ming in Yingtian City, it will be difficult to settle. The previous return to welcome Guo Ziyi's loss, Yin Jian was not far away, and Wu Guogong had to be cautious. ”

"Chu Junshi's words are wrong, the little little Ming King, if he arrives in Yingtian City, what is not easy to settle, Wu Guogong only needs to take out a courtyard in Yingtian Mansion and let Han Lin'er live, and then you can use the excuse to protect the safety of Xiao Ming Wang and send troops to protect it, can't you put Han Lin'er under house arrest, forgive him a little Ming King, and he won't be able to make a name for himself, and he will not have to listen to Wu Guogong for everything at that time."

As soon as Liu Bowen saw Li Shanchang attacking Chu Liuyan, he hurriedly protected Chu Liuyan and said: "Master Li, Miss Chu doesn't mean how to place King Xiao Ming in Yingtian City, Miss Chu means that King Xiao Ming is here, and whether the Duke of Mischief wants to honor King Xiao Ming is indeed a tricky question. If you want to honor Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, as the head, then you will naturally hand over the military power, and it will be troublesome at that time. ”

Li Shanchang smiled when he heard this: "Why do you want to hand over the military power to Han Lin'er, as long as you nominally serve him as the mastermind, it will not be long before you do it." ”

Chu Liuyan said with a smile: "This is easy to say, King Xiao Ming has heavy soldiers in his hands, no weaker than the Han family, and there is no other way but to cling to Cao Cao." If Han Lin'er is not satisfied with the puppet position, whether he wants to kill Han Lin'er and fight with Han Lin'er's subordinates again, such a battle between cranes and mussels is nothing more than to let Chen Youliang benefit from that fisherman. ”

"That's not true, I'm not as good as killing Han Lin'er. With Wu Guogong's eloquence and strategy, how rare is it to contain a Han Lin'er, and when the time comes, it will inevitably play with Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming. ”

"If you don't kill Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, Han Lin'er will want to annex us. When the time comes, it will not be as remote as it is now, and it will not be harmed. Liu Bowen interjected.

After listening to this, Li Shanchang argued with Liu Bowen and Chu Liuyan. Xu Da didn't speak, just sat quietly on the side, thinking carefully about how to make a trade-off.

The two sides are facing each other, and no one can convince anyone.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who listened violently, slapped the table and shouted: "You don't have to argue, I have made up my mind, divide my troops and gallop to rescue An Feng and rescue King Xiao Ming." ”

Chu Liuyan saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was bent on going his own way, and he just wanted to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to divide his troops to save Han Lin'er, and he wanted to speak, but before he could speak, Liu Bowen quietly pulled her cuffs behind her, as if to signal that she didn't need to say more.

Chu Liuyan looked back, only to see Liu Bowen winking at her, and said quietly: "Wu Guogong's mind is broken, it is useless to say more, you might as well make suggestions later, now is not the time." ”

Chu Liuyan raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and sure enough, he looked high-spirited and Zhizhu in his hand, knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't listen to his opposition at the moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to be the vanguard, and Zhu Yuanzhang personally led the army to the palace, and the troops were sent to Anfeng.

Chang Yuchun was impatient, and after listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's order, he returned to the camp to pick up the men and horses, and took the lead in entering the army.

Xu Da was helpless when he saw the situation, so he had to take the deployment and chase after Chang Yuchun.

Although the troops were sent in time, but when Chang Yuchun and his horse were worried about killing Anfeng, they found that Anfeng had already let Chen Youliang's generals attack the city. Through the moon Guanxi, he looked at the ditch and tree fence dug outside the city, and the water and land companies were guarded. Chang Yuchun sighed unconsciously and said: "I'm still a little late, Anfeng City has already been occupied." ”

At this time, the generals who were fighting fiercely with a group of Han soldiers from a distance, saw this banner, and rushed out of the encirclement on horseback, ran to Chang Yuchun and shouted: "But Wu Guogong's reinforcements." ”

Chang Yuchun saw that Laijiang had suffered many injuries on his body, and most of his robe was stained red with blood, and hurriedly replied: "Exactly, who are you under the general, and where is King Xiao Ming now." ”

Chang Yuchun said as he picked up a big knife and slashed a Han army general who wanted to rush from behind to kill the injured general. When the cavalry behind Chang Yuchun saw that the main general was moving, they raised their swords and hit the horses, rushed up, and rushed the Han soldiers who were chasing and intercepting them, and they were defeated.
