Chapter 29, please Xu Da

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "General Xu's words are wrong, how can it be said that fighting against the Han King Chen Youliang can be said to be a lot of killing, in order to do the things of Tianhe, the Han King Chen Youliang is cruel and murderous, the world knows that the people and gods are angry, if someone can resist the Han army, the people of the world will definitely regard him as a benevolent and righteous person." Why did General Xu say that he would make more killings. ”

When Xu Da heard this, he was silent for a while and said: "Wu Guogong, it's not that Xu Da is unwilling to promise you to go out of the mountain again, it's just that Xu Da is sincerely wishing, and he is already tired of fighting and killing, I'm afraid even if he reluctantly comes out and goes into battle again, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it." Han King Chen Youliang is cunning and abnormal, the Han army is also a fierce tiger and wolf army, I, Xu Da, am afraid that I also have the intention to kill the thief, and I have no power to return to the sky. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Xu Da's tone full of Han troops who were unwilling to come out to fight for him against the Han King Chen Youliang, and he was very anxious.

But Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't understand why Xu Da's attitude had changed so much, that day in Yingtian Prison, Zhu Yuanzhang clearly remembered that Xu Da was willing to use his life as a bargaining chip, and was willing to use his head as a tame of more than 100,000 soldiers in Chuzhou to obey Yingtian's orders. Not long after, why did Xu Da's attitude change so dramatically, and what was the reason.

Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled, and decided not to think about it for the time being, so he raised his head and said to Xu Da: "General Xu, even if my father has something sorry for you, but today's great enemy, please don't take those past things to heart, if General Xu still has the intention to kill thieves and still regards me Zhu Yuanzhang as a brother, please help my brother this time, go out of the mountain quickly, pick up the old department under his command, and quickly go to rescue General Chang Yuchun and General Tang He." ”

When Xu Da heard Zhu Yuanzhang mention Chang Yuchun and Tang He, his originally expressionless face couldn't help but fluctuate, and he seemed to frown.

"Chang Yuchun and Tang He's doing now, please ask Wu Guogong to give me a word or two." Xu Da's complexion quickly returned to calm, and then he said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "General Chang Yuchun and General Tang He have been ordered to resist the Han army, but judging from the news from the front, the situation of the two generals is extremely bad, and they have lost several battles so far, and it is very likely that the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, has been trapped and cannot get out." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was bent on making Xu Da agree to come out to fight, so he exaggerated the situation of Chang Yuchun and Tang He, the purpose was to want Xu Da to think of his comrades and immediately agree to send troops against Chen Youliang, the king of Han.

However, it disappointed Zhu Yuanzhang, after Xu Da listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's statement, instead of immediately saying that he would immediately send troops to help Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, fight against the Han army, he smiled faintly and said: "If Tang He is defeated, Xu Da will believe it, but Chang Yuchun knows for me that even if Chen You, the king of Han, is here, it is impossible to defeat Chang Yuchun." ”

Xu Da's words and indifferent attitude made Zhu Yuanzhang on the side stunned, Zhu Yuanzhang was the same when he first received the news of Chang Yuchun's defeat, he didn't believe that Chang Yuchun was actually defeated, and then Chang Yuchun personally sent a soldier to rush back to Yingtian, and after reporting the battle situation ahead to himself, Zhu Yuanzhang believed in Chang Yuchun's defeat.

Xu Da's attitude towards the defeat of Chang Yuchun was actually the same as when he first heard the news, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think of something in his heart.

If Chang Yuchun was really defeated, why did he just retreat dozens of miles.

According to the temperament of the Han King Chen Youliang, he definitely would not let go of the opponent easily, why would he easily let go of Chang Yuchun, so that the troops under Chang Yuchun's command retreated so many miles so easily.

If you can easily retreat more than 30 miles, at least it means that Chang Yuchun's subordinates have maintained considerable combat strength, so that it is possible to escape safely in the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops of Han King Chen Youliang, but if this is the case, at least Chang Yuchun's strength has not suffered too much blow, why is Chang Yuchun afraid that people will come back to ask for help.

This is really not in line with Chang Yuchun's style, when Chang Yuchun led a light cavalry of hundreds of people, unexpectedly fell into the ambush of tens of thousands of enemy troops, Chang Yuchun was in danger, extremely calm commanded hundreds of men and horses to fight, and finally was able to get out of the encirclement, only dozens of guards remained.

But even in such a sinister battle, General Chang Yuchun did not send someone back to ask for help, but this time he had just fought with Chen Youliang, the king of Han, and Chang Yuchun actually sent someone to the army to ask for help unusually, which was really too different from Chang Yuchun's consistent style.

There seems to be another hidden story between this matter, Chang Yuchun seems to have something to hide from himself, but what is the matter, why Chang Yuchun, who has always been loyal to himself, also began to play tricks on himself.

Xu Da is like this, Chang Yuchun is the same, and so is Chu Liuyan who came to his mansion today, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of a lot of things that had happened in the past few days, and suddenly felt that he had suddenly become a loner, and his former friends seemed to have betrayed him one by one.

What is this for, Zhu Yuanzhang's mind is spinning, his heart is numb, he really can't understand why the people who were originally united with him have a tendency to part ways with him in a few days, what did he do wrong, and he actually fell into this situation similar to the betrayal of relatives today.

Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought.

Xu Da didn't understand Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, and still said to Zhu Yuanzhang indifferently: "Wu Guogong, please go back." Xu Da really has no intention of fighting in battle, if he wants me to go into battle and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, I am afraid that it will not be as Wu Guogong wishes. Wu Guogong, as the head of Yingtian, there is no need to worry about it, even if there is no Xu Da, there are still many good generals in the army, and Wu Guogong can rely on these generals to force Chen Youliang, the king of Han who will commit crimes, to leave. ”

As soon as he heard Xu Da's euphemistic eviction order, Zhu Yuanzhang came to his senses, knowing that no matter what he said today, he was afraid it would be useless. Since Xu Da's mind has been decided, no matter how he persuades him today, Xu Da will still not come out to help him lead the army against the Han King Chen Youliang.

Realizing this in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly and didn't say anything.

Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes and said: "Wu Guogong, today's events, the cause is in the front, if Wu Guogong realizes the cause one day, it will be good to see each other again." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Da carefully, what did Xu Da mean by this.

Just now, Xu Da resolutely denied his persuasion to go out of the mountain, but why did he say such a very strange sentence when he was about to leave. In the end, what did Xu Da mean by the kind of reason he just said, could it be that he accused himself of ignoring the promise he made that day, and still wanted to take Xu Da's head to appease the anger of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Chuzhou. However, if the death of Han Lin'er, King Xiao Ming, wants to sacrifice a scapegoat, the most suitable is Xu Da, because he sent Xu Da to invite King Xiao Ming out of Chuzhou and usher in Yingtian. ”

If Ying Tian wanted to throw out a scapegoat and cover up the death of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, then Xu Da was naturally the most suitable.

And Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang still has his own plans, although the assassination of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, has made Xu Da seamless, although the generals of Chuzhou are suspicious, but they have not been able to grasp their own little handle, and the perpetrator of this incident is precisely Xu Da.

As long as Xu Da lives in the world for one day, then it is still possible that the murder of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, will still be known. If one day this matter is really leaked out, I am afraid that the world will think that Zhu Yuanzhang is not the master of the people, treacherous and killed his master, and then these bad reputations will follow him for a lifetime, even if he jumps into the Yellow River, he will not be able to wash it away.

The only thing that makes the fact that he instructed Xu Da to secretly kill King Xiao Ming not be known to the world, the best way now is to kill Xu Da.

It was the Chuzhou general who coerced him to kill Xu Da by himself, and when he took Xu Da's head to pay tribute to Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, he did not refuse.

If you can kill people with a knife and kill Xu Da who has suffered this matter quietly, then in the future, King Xiao Ming will naturally not know about Xu Da's killing by his own instructions, and no one else will know about it, and it is really a good thing for him that people in the world don't know about it.

But I never thought that I would encounter such twists and turns in the matter of wanting to kill Xu Da, although Xu Da's life is still in his own hands, as long as he gives an order or a gesture, he can take Xu Da's life. But now, the situation has changed a lot, and even if he wants to kill Xu Da, he has to carefully consider and weigh the pros and cons.

The hateful Chen Youliang actually came in at this time not sooner or later, and actually caused a rebellion among the soldiers under Xu Da, which is really hateful.

The current situation is that Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty, is eyeing him outside, and inside, the generals under Xu Da are openly disobedient and unwilling to obey their orders.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was red, and he looked a little discolored.

Thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his steel teeth violently and said to Xu Da: "Since General Xu Da still has no intention of helping me fight against the Han army of Han King Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang does not dare to be strong." I only hope that today's brother and my words, Brother Xu Daxian can think about it carefully, and he will no longer disturb Brother Xian's quiet reading Yaxing, and say goodbye. ”

Xu Da didn't say anything special, but said lightly: "Wu Guogong has important business, and Xu Da is inconvenient to leave Wu Guogong here, so I won't send it far." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he arched his hand at Xu Da, and then strode out of the bamboo house.

Xu Da still sat down unhurriedly, and then chanted aloud.

As soon as a few guards guarding outside saw Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang coming out, they immediately came forward to salute Zhu Yuanzhang.

A guard clasped his fists and saluted and said: "Wu Guogong, how long do I have to guard General Xu Da, I heard that the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang has been killed outside Yingtian City, and my brothers and I have more cultivation from Wu Guogong on weekdays, and I am willing to follow Wu Guogong to kill the enemy and protect the city as soon as possible, which is better than guarding General Xu Da here." ”

Hearing the guard's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and his knife-like eyes swept this person's face, so frightened that the guard took a few steps back.

Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed the guards who were staggering back, stared at this person and said: "Killing the enemy and serving the people is naturally a big deal, but guarding General Xu Da is also a big thing, and it is not sloppy at all, don't think that guarding General Xu Da and not letting you wait to go into battle to kill the enemy is the prince of your country who looks down on you, it is really General Xu Da's life is very important at the moment, if there is the slightest mistake, I will only ask you." ”

After hearing this, the guard hurriedly replied: "Wu Guogong said yes, the villain was confused, and asked Wu Guogong to calm his anger." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "It's okay, since you can understand this, your duke will not condemn you, Fangzheng, you just need to guard General Xu well for your duke, don't let outsiders break into this place, and don't worry about the rest of the things." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who gave it to you, said so, and the guard said resignedly: "Wu Guogong is wise, it is the villain who is confused, as long as Wu Guogong gives an order, the villain will obey the order, and dare not have the slightest negligence, although Wu Guogong can rest assured." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "If you can do this, then the heart of the public will also be greatly comforted." Remember, no matter what happens outside, don't show up, just take care of General Xu wholeheartedly. ”

"Yes, we will obey Wu Guogong's orders." A cadre of guards replied in unison.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and then was about to leave this place, when he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to the guards: "If General Xu Da has figured it out, if General Xu Da wants to see me, then he can come and inform his father, this matter is very important, do you remember it." ”

"Please rest assured that Wu Guogong, we will never forget it." The guards replied in unison.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, then he put his mind at ease, turned around, and quickly left.

Not long after Zhu Yuanzhang left, a guard said to a guard beside him in wonder: "What did Wu Guogong say when he left If General Xu Da figured it out, what did he say, did General Xu Da still have something to figure out, the most powerful general in Yingtian's army is General Xu Da, although the battle is not as brave as General Chang Yuchun, but the wisdom and wisdom of the strategy are really unsurpassed, what Wu Guogong said When General Xu Da figured it out, I really can't understand what General Xu Da can't understand." ”

Another guard also pointed to the back of Xu Da who was chanting in the room and said: "I also think it's strange, when I was a child, I also studied in the village school for a few years, but I couldn't understand a word of the poems recited by General Xu Da, and I didn't even touch the books that General Xu read, so I really didn't understand what else General Xu Da couldn't understand." ”

This person said that, there was also a look of curiosity on his face.

A guard next to him listened to the words of the two, and said with a sinking face: "Go, you didn't hear Wu Guogong's warning when he left, Wu Guogong ordered me to just guard this place well, and don't worry about the rest." How can you and I be able to understand the level of General Xu Da, if we can understand, Wu Guogong would have asked me to wait to be a majestic general, so it may still be a small guard. ”

"Dude, yes, these things are not for us to understand, but that's fine." One of the guards snorted.

The other guards didn't say anything, but they all looked at Xu Da's back in the room.

Xu Da stood still, and the sound of chanting was still faintly audible.

Chu Liuyan returned to the camp tent, and was immediately surrounded by the soldiers under Xu Da's command.

"Master Chu, this is going to Wu Guogong's Mansion, what is the situation, and whether Wu Guogong has agreed to release General Xu Da, the commander of our waiting." A general asked impatiently.

There was even a general who said in a rough voice: "The Chu military division personally went out, and if I want to come to Wu Guogong, I also want to give some face, plus my brothers and other brothers disobeyed the order, it is estimated that Wu Guogong has already agreed to this matter, and General Xu Da was released early." ”

"That's right, General Xu Da is the most capable general in the army, and now General Chang Yuchun and General Tang He have joined forces to fight the enemy in the front, and they have already shown defeat. Even if Wu Guogong wants to use other generals, he must also think about who else in the army can defeat General Chang Yuchun, otherwise, even if he sends people to die in vain. "A general should also be in harmony.

"Master Chu, what is the situation with General Xu Da, has Wu Guogong already released General Xu, and let him still take me and others to kill the enemy." Bai Chousheng couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and asked Chu Liuyan eagerly.

Chu Liuyan looked around at the generals under Xu Da's command who were surrounded by water in the big tent, and he already knew the eagerness of this group of men from these anxious eyes that were staring at him tightly.

Chu Liuyan said slowly: "I have already talked to Wu Guogong about the meaning of the generals, although I tried my best to argue for Xu Da, but Wu Guogong was still unmoved, and just promised that I would consider this matter carefully." ”

As soon as Chu Liuyan said a word, it was as if a pot had exploded in the big tent in an instant.

"What, Wu Guogong just agreed to think about it, Master Chu, did you hear it wrong, Wu Guogong won't be like this."

Another future took over and said: "Wu Guogong really doesn't take the opinions of my brothers to heart, since Wu Guogong has done this, why should I have to work for him." ”

"That's right, Wu Guogong suppressed General Xu Da and me everywhere, why should we work for it, it is better to do the opposite, kill directly into Ying Tiancheng, dig three feet into Ying Tiancheng, and find General Xu Da. Let him lead me and others to be happy. ”
