Unexpectedly, a few days later, the general still did not receive a little grain and grass, and returned depressed.

The generals hurriedly went over to inquire about the news, and the general said: "Then the Wenchen pushed back and refused to send the grain and grass to Yingtian, and at first he said that the road was far away, and he was afraid that he would be hijacked by the thieves. I said, don't be afraid, I can send some soldiers from Yingtian to escort grain and grass and escort them along the way. ”

The other generals hurriedly asked, "Yes, that's exactly the case, what did those Wenchen say?" ”

"Seeing that they were in a loss, these people made the excuse that it would take a day or two to raise food and grass, so they asked me to wait a while." The general replied.

"Isn't this bullying, Chuzhou's grain and grass have already been collected, I am in charge of this matter, how can these Wenchen speak like this." A general asked suspiciously.

"I also believed in this matter at the latest, but then I saw the clues, these people are clearly sitting on the ground and dirty, and then I heard a news, so there is a rice merchant who bought a large amount of grain from this Wenchen at a low price, I just went to see, sure enough, the grain and grass in the granary were carried out, I was angry in my heart, and then I went to the Wenchen in charge of this matter to question, and as a result, I choked on a word, he said that he did not get the order from above, only knew that the army had arrived at the realm of heaven and earth, All materials such as grain, grass, soldiers, and salaries should be allocated by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, who was in Yingtian, and immediately ordered me to go to Zhu Yuanzhang, and unceremoniously issued an order to expel the guests. ”

"In this way, these sons of bitches have long been guarding and stealing, even if I wait for the troops to meet Chuzhou, I won't be able to get grain and grass." A scheming general interjected in a gloomy voice.

The other generals had a lot of respect for this person, and then asked: "Big brother, in this way, as soon as Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, dies, those Wenchen will not care about the life or death of our brothers, what should we do." ”

A general who was anxious shouted: "In my opinion, it is better to kill back to Chuzhou immediately, kill all the civil servants who control the government, confiscate their homes, sell all the things that have been confiscated, and exchange them for grain, grass and military salaries to resist for a while." ”

The general, who was respected as the eldest brother by the generals, said: "Although this plan is good, but it is not a long-term plan. ”

The generals hurriedly asked: "Big brother, although the brothers listen to King Xiao Ming, most of the affairs in the army are up to you." As long as you say a word to the west, my brothers will never dare to go east. ”

The leading general said: "Since everyone thinks so highly, I will tell everyone what I am thinking about." ”

"Big brother, please speak."

The leading general pondered for a while, and said: "Xiao Ming King Han Lin'er died, the current situation is extremely bad for us, and in the territory of Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang, the army is not strong at all, the best way to say is to defect to Zhu Yuanzhang, but I heard that although this person is benevolent and righteous, but there has been a dirt between my lord Xiao Ming King Han Lin'er, although the death of Xiao Ming King Han Lin'er is more than whether it is really a natural disaster as Xu Da said, but I think if Wu Guogong is after the death of King Xiao Ming, he has no respect for Xiao Ming King, We just threw ourselves over, and in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, would not allow us to live here. ”

"If you don't take refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, can you choose Chen Youliang, the king of Han, this place is not too far from Hanyang, Chen Youliang's power and territory are the largest, it's better to take refuge in him." A general asked.

"I have also thought about taking refuge in Chen Youliang, but Chen Youliang is mean and unkind, especially looking down on the remnants of the army, we are not very sure to instigate the soldiers under him to take refuge together, and I am afraid that I will not be welcomed by the Han King Chen Youliang, and it will be even more difficult to want the Han King Chen Youliang to pay attention to us in the future."

"Big brother, this doesn't work, that doesn't work. I'm going to wait for what to do. ”

The leading general said with a smile: "I heard that tomorrow Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang will go to Jiangbin to pay tribute to Han Lin'er, King Xiaoming, I can take this opportunity to take a good look at whether Zhu Yuanzhang respects King Xiaoming, if Zhu Yuanzhang does not pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, then we will not be able to take refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, if Zhu Yuanzhang respects King Xiaoming, then this matter is still to be discussed." Good birds choose the forest to perch, this matter must not be careless. ”

All the generals praised the good: "The eldest brother said yes, I have to wait to see if Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, respects King Xiaoming before acting." ”

"Big brother, there is one more thing, what should we do with that kid Xu Dan, it seems too cheap to let him go." A general asked.

"There are a lot of rumors outside, some people say that King Xiao Ming died at his hands, and I don't know if it's true or not."

"My younger brother came from Chuzhou with King Xiao Ming, and he did see that King Xiao Ming died because of too much wind and waves, the big ship capsized, and the soldiers on the ship also died with King Xiao Ming, only Xu Da has excellent water ability, and his physique is strong, so he was saved from death just now."

The leading general said: "It seems that King Xiao Ming died, but it was really the ship that was attacked by the wind and waves and died in a wreck. However, Xu Da came to Chuzhou to welcome King Xiaoming this time, and actually chose such an opportunity to cross the river, which is also a little strange to see the situation, but these things are now incomprehensible, Xu Da still wants to treat him, and he can't keep this person in the world. ”

"Big brother, you mean that you want me to do Xu Da later." A general shouted loudly.

The leading general glared at him fiercely and scolded: "Old Five, the wall has ears, don't you understand." ”

"Big brother, I know it's wrong, it's just that big brother, how to deal with this Xu Da in the end, now Xu Da is in Yingtian Prison, I heard that the prison is made of stone, it is very strong, and I heard that the defense in the prison is also extremely tight, and it is even more difficult for me to kill him."

"It's just killing people, you don't have to do it yourself, old five, I'll give you a plan, tomorrow Wu Guogong will go out of the city to sue King Xiao Ming, you go into the city to intercept Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang, just a few words, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely be able to order Zhu Yuanzhang to personally order Xu Da to be killed." The leading general pulled Lao Wu to his side and said.

The fifth elder said: "Big brother, then what should I say to Zhu Yuanzhang." ”

"Come with your ears, and I'll listen to you." The leading general said to the fifth child.

Lao Wu immediately put his ear to the ear of the leading general, and the leading general whispered to Lao Wu like this.

After hearing this, Lao Wuxi smiled and said to the leading general: "Big brother, I really convinced you, your set of strategies is more effective than thousands of troops." ”

The leading general laughed and said, "If I didn't have two brushes, how would you call me a big brother?" ”

When the generals in the underground heard this, they laughed wildly along with the leading generals.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, saw that the other party's generals were getting closer and closer, so he hit his head against the coffin and cried: "Lord, I, Zhu Yuanzhang, have been greatly gracious, and I originally wanted to welcome the lord from Chuzhou to Yingtian to inherit the unification, but I didn't expect that the sky would not live forever, and the lord was attacked by the wind and waves, so that the ship capsized and died, and people did not live forever. It's really too unfair to God, if I, Zhu Yuanzhang, were there that day, even if I was buried in the belly of the fish, I would have to desperately rescue the Lord, if there was really a good life on the top, I Zhu Yuanzhang would be willing to reduce my life for 20 years in exchange for the Lord to be immortal, still in the world. ”

After that, Zhu Yuanzhang actually cried bitterly and fainted.

When the generals of Chuzhou saw such a situation, their hearts were full of sorrow.
