Regarding the matter of the sailor, Zhu Yuanzhang has consulted with his generals many times, but he has not been able to discuss the slightest way to crack Chen Youliang's warship. Zhu Yuanzhang also repeatedly sent spies to approach Chen Youliang, hoping to spy on one or two of the battleship construction methods. Helplessly, Chen Youliang is a suspicious person by nature, most of the people sent by Zhu Yuanzhang were killed by Chen Youliang's knowledge, even if he didn't see through it, he wouldn't easily believe these people, let alone let these people have the opportunity to contact the Dao battleship.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well in his heart that as long as he couldn't see through Chen Youliang's battleship construction method and break his battleship, no matter what, he would not be able to break the Han army. However, Chen Youliang may rely on his powerful sailor to destroy all the achievements that Zhu Yuanzhang had worked so hard to build.

Therefore, Chu Liuyan's words were said to Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh and said, "Those who know me are also military advisors." The military advisor wants to go to the battlefield this time, doesn't he want to take this opportunity to spy on Chen Youliang's warship construction method? ”

Chu Liuyan clasped his hands into fists and smiled slightly: "That's what I mean." ”

Xu Da said beside him: "The idea of the smoke girl is really good. It's just that killing the enemy on the battlefield can't be regarded as child's play. Moreover, the girl went to the Han military camp several times to spy on the news, and the Han army already hated the girl to the core. Chen Youliang is also quite suspicious of you. In my opinion, we might as well think of something else. The girl's life cannot be risked. ”

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, of course, he was also worried about Chu Liuyan's safety. However, the tens of millions of sailors who annihilated the Han army were obviously more attractive to him. Such an opportunity, even if it is only one in 10,000, is also worth his try. If it had been someone else, he would have responded without hesitation. But this Chu Liuyan, he always has a little affection for her in his heart.

But at this moment, all the words were said by Xu Da. Regardless of whether Xu Da is sincere or false, he Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang has already weakened by half a point. Judging from the situation in front of him, Chu Liuyan was still quite grateful to Xu Da. In this case, why don't you push the boat along the river and allow Chu Liuyan, which can be regarded as giving her this favor.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang groaned: "Tiande, your idea is right. It's just that the military advisor's concerns are not wrong. We can't defeat Chen Youliang in one day, if we continue to wear down like this, it will be just a waste of labor and money, Chen Youliang has now attacked the gate of Yingtian, if we are not careful, we will be defeated, and the whole army will be wiped out. ”

Chu Liuyan nodded in response: "What Guogong said is extremely true. Brother Xu, since I Chu Liuyan followed the two of you to fight the world, what kind of winds and waves have not been seen, what kind of thrilling waves have not been crossed, but which time, I didn't return safely? You don't have to worry about me, I have a way to deal with it. ”

Xu Da saw that Chu Liuyan had made up his mind, and Zhu Yuanzhang supported it wholeheartedly, so he had to sigh secretly in his heart and say nothing more.

Zhu Yuanzhang invited Xu Da to come out of the mountain, and the officers and soldiers in the army were boiling for a while. Xu Da is brave and resourceful in the hearts of the soldiers, has never lost a battle, and is almost an omnipotent god. Now that he is willing to go out of the mountain, the soldiers who were originally decadent because of the defeat were suddenly in high spirits. Zhu Yuanzhang's army even circulated the ballad of "Xu Da out, the world is one".

These were originally the love of the three armies for Xu Da, but when they reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, they sounded different. In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he originally had scruples and jealousy towards Xu Da, but now seeing that he has won the hearts of the military, he has become even more jealous of him. It's just that now is the time to employ people, Zhu Yuanzhang thinks about the overall situation and his own world, and he can only envelop Xu Da.

And Chen Youliang is complacent in order to repel Chang Yuchun. Chen Youliang specially invited Taishi Zou Pusheng, Prime Minister Zhang Bixian, Taiwei Zhang Dingbian and others to feast, and suddenly a soldier stepped forward and said that there was an urgent report.

Chen Youliang was drunk, waved his hand and said, "No." ”

Zhang Dingbian persuaded from the side: "King Han, the soldier is in a hurry, there must be something urgent, you might as well call him to come and ask what is the matter." Zhang Dingbian has followed Chen Youliang for many years, and he is deeply valued by Chen Youliang. Hearing him say this, Chen Youliang thought for a while and said, "That's it." Let him be sent up. Now that I often encounter spring defeat and go to Maicheng, Xu Da can't live out, I don't believe that there are any major events in this world? If there is no major event, this king will not spare the guy who came to disturb the king's interest! ”

The soldier was brought up, knelt down with a plop, and said with a sad face: "King Han, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good." ”

Chen Youliang said angrily: "What's the big deal? Who in the world can make me Chen Youliang think that big things are not good? When he spoke, he was not angry and arrogant, but when he was angry, he was full of majesty, and the frightened soldier trembled. The soldier still held himself up and said, "King Qihan, is it...... It was Xu Da who was invited out of the mountain by Zhu Yuanzhang to deal with the king! ”

"What?" When Chen Youliang heard this, his eyes were almost on fire, and the cup in his hand was even more hesitant and too shocked to be crushed by him. When the soldier saw the king of Han, he was shocked (for the sake of harmony) and angry, and he was even more panicked and did not dare to say a word again.

Zou Pusheng hurriedly persuaded and said: "The king of Han is angry, and the king of Han is angry." In fact, this Xu Da has tens of millions of soldiers hidden in his chest, and he will not be in the pool sooner or later. It is only a matter of time before he wants to go out of the mountain, and it is only sooner or later that Zhu Yuanzhang can invite him out. Although Xu Da personally leads the troops to fight now, we have ironclad battleships, no matter how capable he is, how can he endure us? ”

Zou Pusheng's words are talking about Chen You's forgiveness. Although Xu Da is worth thousands of troops and horses, but he Han King has his own iron and copper walls, what are you afraid of him doing?

Chen Youliang sat back at the banquet again, and said hatefully: "Why does Zhu Yuanzhang have the assistance of a general like Xu Da who can support the world, but I, Chen Youliang, can't get Xu Da's help?" "There are a few people here, and there are also a few generals, they listened to Chen Youliang's words, and they felt very uncomfortable in their hearts. Fortunately, Chen Youliang's right-hand man, Taiwei Zhang Dingbian, did not have any suspicions in his heart.

Zhang Dingbian is Chen Youliang's confidant, and before Chen Youliang raised troops, he was already good friends with Chen Youliang. When his family was poor, Chen Youliang once helped him treat his old mother and contributed money to help him bury his mother. Therefore, he is absolutely single-minded towards Chen Youliang. Later, he assisted Chen Youliang in seizing power and joined Chen Youliang. , Zhang Bixian married as brothers.

He is also a person with considerable military talent, can be regarded as a famous general, and is loyal to Chen Youliang. He is still a self-aware person, he understands that Chen Youliang is right, Chen Youliang's subordinates, although they are also generals, but there is indeed no one who can compete with Xu Da, so he said with a smile: "King Han is angry." After speaking, he said to Zhang Bixian again: "King Han is angry now, my brother should persuade me quickly." ”

It turns out that this one must first be a stubborn and violent (for the sake of harmony) person, and the world calls it: "Xiao Zhang". Of course, this title is not all demeaning, but also because Zhang Bixian is brave and good at fighting, and he is a fierce general under Chen Youliang. Zhang Dingbian was afraid that Chen Youliang's words would cause Zhang Bixian to be dissatisfied, so he persuaded him first.

Zhang Bixian didn't take it to heart. He said to Zhang Dingbian: "Saying that I am not as good as Chang Yuchun, I refuse to agree." said that I am not as good as Xu Da, Lao Zhang, I have nothing to say. ”

Zou Pusheng persuaded from the side: "In this case, why doesn't King Han take Xu Da for his own use?" I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang used Xu Da to kill King Xiao Ming before, but he blamed Xu Da, thanks to Chu Liuyan and other manpower protection, Xu Da was not killed and released from prison. Now, Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate to condescend to Xu Da to go out of the mountain, naturally because he was afraid of our warship. In that case, why do you want to use Xu Dana for me? When the time comes, Zhu Yuanzhang, who is without Xu Da, will be like losing his right-hand man, and it will be much easier to deal with him. ”

Chen Youliang looked at Zou Pusheng coldly, sneered blindly, and didn't say a word, which made Zou Pusheng's heart cold.

Chen Youliang said coldly: "What kind of person is Xu Da?" If he had been willing to surrender, he would have surrendered a long time ago, and he would not have had to get to the point where he is today. How much effort did this king have to persuade Xu Da to surrender, but he couldn't. Since then, this king has understood one thing, this Xu Da will not surrender. When Chen Youliang said these words, he smiled on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, which made people feel mad.

Zhang Dingbian pondered for a while, then clenched his fists and said, "Lord, the minister has an idea. Although Xu Da was originally a famous general in the world, and the minister also cherished it, it was a pity that he was born hostile. Since you can't take it for your own use, keeping it is always a big problem. Since this is the case, it is better to think of a way to make Zhu Yuanzhang jealous of Xu Da and separate the two. If Zhu Yuanzhang is in the middle of the plan to get rid of Xu Da, it will always be good for the country after the Han Dynasty. ”

Chen Youliang pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Taiwei's words are not unreasonable. Everyone in the world says that I am suspicious, but I am not suspicious of you. Only I know that Zhu Yuanzhang is even more suspicious. He has always been afraid that Xu Dagong will be the master, otherwise, he would not take the matter of King Xiao Ming, make a big fuss, and almost kill Xu Da. Dingbian, I'll leave this matter to you. must be separated from Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da. When the time comes, I will not be afraid that this world will not belong to my Han King. Hahaha......." Chen Youliang's laughter echoed in the hall for a long time.

So, how can everyone divide Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da. Zou Pusheng admonished from the side: "Lord, I have heard a piece of news, but I don't know if it is not true. ”

"In this case, Taishi might as well say it and listen to it, or it will be useful to Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da."

"The minister heard that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have an intention in his subordinate military advisor Chu Liuyan, and Chu Liuyan and Xu Da seemed to be a little ambiguous. Why don't you make a big fuss about Xu Da and Chu Liuyan, and make Zhu Yuanzhang hate because of jealousy? Zou Pusheng said happily. I was still a little complacent in my heart, and I thought I had made a great contribution.

"Ridiculous!" Chen Youliang said angrily: "What are these words? A dignified Zhu Yuanzhang would fall out with Xu Da in this eventful time for the sake of a mere woman? Zou Pusheng, I think you're an old fool. Or have you been confused and never sobered? At the beginning, if you and Peng Yingyu hadn't insisted on making that useless Xu Shouhui the king, why would this king bother to make more trouble and end up with an unkind and unrighteous infamy? ”

It turned out that Zou Pusheng was not in the capital before, and the matter of Chen Youliang and Chu Liuyan was undoubtedly a big taboo, and no one dared to mention it. So, he didn't know. He sent a lot of people to inquire about Zhu Yuanzhang's affairs, and he knew everything about Zhu Yuanzhang's side, but he was negligent on his side, which annoyed Chen Youliang.

"Lord ......" Zou Pusheng couldn't understand why Chen Youliang would take out the confused old accounts he had made at this time and turn them over again, he couldn't help but be frightened, so he knelt down, and he said tremblingly: "King Han, the monk Peng Yingyu is to blame for the original incident, he didn't say anything Xu Shouhui is good-looking, the minister has persuaded him many times, but it is useless, the minister is really guilty, guilty......"

Zhang Bixian was a little overwhelmed by the side, and said, "Big brother, don't embarrass the master." Taishi is also for our sake. This Chu Liuyan, although he is a woman, is really capable. I heard that Liu Bowen's fiancée also committed suicide by jumping off a cliff for her. She is a dignified woman, and she can make the four heroes and heroes of the world fascinated, not a red face, what is it? Taishi's suggestion was originally good. If it weren't for the eldest brother, you had selfish intentions, how could you embarrass the master? ”

Zhang Bixian has always been short-tempered, and Chen Youliang once formed a righteous relationship, and repeatedly rescued Chen Youliang, and his friendship with Chen Youliang is naturally extraordinary, and Zou Pusheng, who has the name of Taishi, is different. Therefore, although Chen Youliang was angry, he couldn't refute it, and only said: "You ......."

Zhang Bixian didn't give Chen Youliang a chance to breathe, and said: "Big brother, if you hadn't been soft-hearted and secretly let go of this Chu Liuyan, she wouldn't have helped Zhu Yuanzhang sabotage our plan three or four times." Big brother, if today's priority is the most important, but it's not the time for children to grow up, do you say that my Lao Zhang is reasonable and no longer ignores? ”

Chen Youliang let out a long sigh and said, "That's it." Master, get up. Zou Pusheng stood up at this time, standing aside and not daring to speak.

Zhang Dingbian saw that the atmosphere was very tense, so he persuaded him next to him: "Everyone is thinking about the big plan, so why bother to make a bad deal for trivial things." Since the king of Han didn't want to use Chu Liuyan as bait, the minister had another way. Xu Da's biological sister Xu Biyi is Zhu Yuanzhang's concubine. Xu Daping only has this sister in his life, and he loves her very much. Now, Xu Biyi is among Zhu Yuanzhang's concubines, although she is called the second lady, she is not very favored by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang respects Ma Xiuying alone, and dotes on the concubine next to him, in this case, why don't we make a big fuss about Xu Biyi? If Zhu Yuanzhang killed Xu Biyi, then Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely break up! ”

As soon as Zhang Dingbian's words were finished, Chen Youliang had already said: "Dingbian has a good strategy!" ”

Although Chen Youliang was also dissatisfied with Chu Liuyan's favoritism to help Zhu Yuanzhang, he didn't want to deal with Chu Liuyan anyway. Now, Zhang Dingbian has come up with the best of both worlds, how can he not be happy?

"Hmph, third brother, you said it nicely, but why was Zhu Yuanzhang so obedient and obediently killed Xu Biyi?" Zhang Bixian was still dissatisfied with Chen Youliang's favoritism and Chu Liuyan.

Zhang Dingbian thought for a while and said: "Zhu Yuanzhang killed, although it is not easy, Zhu Yuanzhang's wife Ma Xiuying killed, it is the same." ”

"But Ma Xiuying has always been virtuous, how could she do such a thing?" Zou Pusheng said from the side.

"What's so hard about that? What if Xu Biyi deliberately murdered Zhu Yuanzhang? In short, please leave this matter to the ministers. Chen dared to guarantee that within a month, he would be able to successfully separate Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang. If not, the minister would rather die. Zhang Dingbian said confidently.

"Dingbian, you're serious. Okay, I'll leave this to you. Chen Youliang wanted to understand Zhang Dingbian's personality, knowing that he was a brave and resourceful person, he said that if there is a way, there must be a way. I don't have anything to worry about.

When the feast was over, everyone walked out of the main hall. Zhang Bi was in front and Zhang Dingbian was behind, and when they arrived at a place where no one was, they got together again. Zhang Bixian said angrily: "Third brother, how did you do it? Why don't you let me borrow a knife to kill people and get rid of that red face and misfortune? ”

Zhang Dingbian said slowly: "Second brother, you are also a smart person, you can also see that the eldest brother has to protect this woman no matter what." Last time, you instigated the soldiers to make trouble and had to get rid of this woman, but in fact? The eldest brother didn't have the idea to save this woman out. Since he knew this, why bother to dismiss his eldest brother and make him unhappy? If you want to get rid of this woman, you just have to think of other ways, why bother to fight hard? ”

"Do you have another way?" Zhang Bixian asked.

"Find a master to assassinate. One can't do two, two can't do three, in short, to this day, this woman can't get rid of it. Otherwise, she will definitely be the biggest obstacle to her eldest brother's great achievements in the future. There is only one thing, second brother, all this must be done in secret, and the boss must not be allowed to know. ”

As he spoke, there was a gloomy look in his eyes: "If it really doesn't work, then you and I will take action, and we will not hesitate to do it." ”

Zhang Bixian nodded cautiously and said, "Third child, you have it." Okay, I'll listen to you and do what you say. I must find someone to break the body of the woman who bewitched the eldest brother, you can rest assured. The two of them said goodbye for a while, and then they parted and left.

Chen Youliang waited until everyone left, and then sat on the dragon chair alone, and couldn't help but think of the incident when he met Chu Liuyan. He remembered everything that had happened over the years. also remembered how he caught Chu Liuyan's Tao in the middle, and repeatedly planted it in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da. He remembered Zhang Dingbian's words again, and couldn't help but ask himself: "Am I really too kind to her?" One day, will she really threaten my country? It is not unreasonable to say that it must be reconciled with the side first.

Why am I so hard-hearted to everyone in the world, but so soft-hearted to this person?

The moonlight leaked in obliquely, and the ground was covered with hoarfrost, and it was viscous like a heart that could not be dissolved.
