Li Shanchang gently patted the stack of papers on the table and said, "Chen Youliang's notice is an excellent opportunity. Wu Guogong sent people to publicize the matter in Chuzhou, and spread rumors that Chen Youliang captured Yingtian, and then asked for the head of King Xiao Ming. In this way, under the pretext that Chen Youliang wants to attack Yingtian in a big way, let Han Lin'er send troops to Yingtian to participate in the battle, Han Lin'er is afraid that his head will not be protected, and he will definitely urge his subordinates to participate in coordinated operations in our army, and then we can act on the camera, integrate his troops into our army's camp, and use them for our use. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh, Huo Ran stood up and said: "Okay, this plan is very good, if this plan can be successful, you can fight with Chen Youliang." Strategist, I'll leave this matter to you. ”

Li Shanchang took the order and left.

A few days later, Liu Bowen learned that someone in the army had gone to Chuzhou to spread rumors, Liu Bowen thought about it for a while, and hurried to Chu Liuyan's side.

Liu Bowen had just stepped into Chu Liuyan's house, and saw Chu Liuyan discussing things with Xu Da in the house.

Originally, Liu Bowen wanted to quit. But Chu Liuyan had already caught a glimpse of Liu Bowen, and hurriedly said, "Liu Gongzi, you came just in time, General Xu Da and I have something to look for you." ”

Liu Bowen stood on his heels and asked, "Miss Chu, General Xu, what do you want to do with me?" ”

Xu Da stepped forward and said, "Strategist, you come in first." ”

Liu Bowen walked in and sat aside.

Xu Da waited for Liu Bowen to sit down, and then said: "Last night, Li Shanchang's military division came to me, saying that he wanted to let a few capable men in my army go to Chuzhou to do something. I asked what it was, and Li Shanchang said that on the order of Wu Guogong, he would send someone to Chuzhou to spread Chen Youliang and capture Yingtian, and he would come to take the head of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming. When I heard this, I was a little surprised in my heart, so I found a few soldiers for Li Shanchang's military division. Today, I rushed to discuss with the smoke girl what Wu Guogong was going to do. ”

When Liu Bowen heard this, he already understood that what he had speculated was indeed true. Then he opened his mouth and said: "Originally, I was just a suspense, but now that I heard General Xu say this, I already have insight into Wu Guogong's mind. ”

Chu Liuyan hurriedly asked: "Wu Guogong's intentions, dare to ask what kind of intentions Wu Guogong has." ”

Liu Bowen said unhurriedly: "Presumably, Miss Chu and General Xu have heard the news that Chen Youliang is about to raise troops to attack Yingtian in Hanyang. ”

Chu Liuyan nodded yes and said, "This matter is being discussed in the streets and alleys, and it is already known to everyone. ”

Liu Bowen said: "Wu Guogong's mind is related to this. ”

Xu Da asked with some confusion: "Liu Junshi, what is the connection between Chen Youliang's intention to attack Ying Tian and Wu Guogong, Xu Da is foolish, and he still doesn't know the connection, so please make it clear to the military advisor." ”

Liu Bowen said: "General Xu is smart and wise, how can he not see through this layer. Wu Guogong knew that Chen Youliang was powerful, and he would be alone against the enemy, so he had to drag King Xiao Ming into the water. Wu Guo ordered Li Shanchang to leave a message for a walk in Chuzhou, which was nothing more than to let Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, know that if Ying Tian was not protected, King Xiao Ming would not be able to escape and be chased and killed by Chen Youliang. With such a cold lips and teeth, and once you think about the truth that your lips and teeth depend on each other, Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, will inevitably send troops to help Yingtian. Now, you can understand the deep meaning. ”

Xu Da listened to Liu Bowen's words, and said with a complete understanding: "If the generals under the command of King Xiao Ming come to Yingtian, they will naturally listen to Wu Guogong's moderation. This is the best thing in the world, Wu Guogong will naturally not let it go. ”

After that, Xu Da and Liu Bowen looked at each other and smiled.

Chu Liuyan really didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about something.

As soon as Xu Da turned around, he saw Chu Liuyan's demeanor, and couldn't help asking, "Liuyan girl, what's in your heart." ”

Chu Liuyan raised his head and said: "It is naturally a good thing to use King Xiao Ming's subordinates to expand his strength, but there is another layer in it, if King Xiao Ming refuses to give in, there will be trouble on Wu Guogong's side." ”

Xu Da disagreed, smiled slightly and said: "Liuyan girl, you are too worried, although King Xiao Ming is the nominal commander of the righteous army, but this person is weak, and he should not hinder Wu Guogong." ”

Liu Bowen pondered for a while and said: "This matter is possible, although King Xiao Ming is weak, but a few of the ministers around him are quite able to pinch up and down, Liu Futong is in Japan, he can still suppress it, now Liu Futong has died in battle, and there is no one else who can check and balance, I am afraid that King Xiao Ming will inevitably be bewitched by the ministers around him, and openly suppress Wu Guogong." ”

Chu Liuyan hurriedly said: "In this case, do I want to meet Wu Guogong in person, and make a big statement in person, so that Wu Guogong can't do this." ”

Liu Bowen pondered for a moment and said: "Now the situation is unclear, not to mention that even so, things are between the two, the current strategy is to sit back and watch the changes for the time being, if things go well, our army can sit back and enjoy the success, if it is not smooth, it is not too late to plan." ”

Xu Da nodded and said: "The meaning of the military advisor is that there is no need to be urgent for a while, just wait and see. I agree with this, but whether I want to make a statement to Wu Guogong. ”

Liu Bowen said: "There is no need for this at the moment. ”

Chu Liuyan said: "I think it is still necessary to remind Wu Guogong. Although King Xiao Ming is weak, if he can't deal with it, it may also be a big trouble. ”

Liu Bowen looked into the distance, sighed and said, "Although Wu Guogong is still Wu Guogong, he is no longer the Zhu Yuanzhang I was when I first met. With that, he got up and walked out of the house, leaving only Xu Da and Chu Liuyan to appreciate the meaning of Liu Bowen's last words.

After a while, Chu Liuyan asked, "General Xu, in your opinion, should you inform Wu Guogong of what you are talking about today?" ”

Xu Da lowered his head and thought about it and said, "According to my opinion, I should inform it so that Wu Guogong can take precautions." ”

Chu Liuyan said happily: "Brother Xu, that's what I mean, it's a little late today, it's inconvenient for me to go to see Wu Guogong, if General Xu goes back and passes by the big tent, I will be annoyed to inform Wu Guogong of this meaning." ”

Xu Da responded: "Since this is the case, it's not too early, let's go away from the smoke, and I won't disturb anymore." Leave. ”

"Brother Xu, walk slowly." Chu Liuyan sent Xu Da out of the house and turned back.

Xu Da said goodbye to Chu Liuyan, returned to the army, and came to the tent, only to see the lights in the big tent, knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang was still asleep, so he transferred to the tent.

I saw Zhu Yuanzhang looking down under the lamp and looking at the map carefully. I think it must be a plan for the future war with Chen Youliang.

"Wu Guogong, it's late at night, you should rest." Xu Da called softly.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was looking at the map, listened to the call and hurriedly looked up.

I saw Xu Da standing at the door of the tent, and hurriedly said: "Tiande, I don't see anyone today, where have you gone, come and come, and have a good chat with your father." ”

"Yes," Xu Da responded, and hurriedly walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side.
