Zhu Yuanzhang even put forward a condition, as long as the generals of Chuzhou can take the soldiers under their command and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, to resist the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang, when the time comes, it is inevitable that the generals of Chuzhou will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and Zhu Yuanzhang is also willing to take action for Lianchengjue to clean up the civil officials and ministers in Chuzhou, so that Lianchengjue can take over everything in Chuzhou in the name of Lianchengjue.

In Chu Liuyan's opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang is still extremely generous, and with such a generous promise, he will not resist the trick of coming to Chuzhou. Even the city is a person, and Chu Liuyan also understands it clearly. Zhu Yuanzhang promised to treat him well, and he would inevitably accept it.

It's just that Chu Liuyan didn't know why Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to repair this letter, Chu Liuyan heard that the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou hated the Han King Chen Youliang to the bone, and he had already sent tens of thousands of horses to meet the enemy, it can be said that the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang and the Chuzhou soldiers and horses were about to become a foregone conclusion, even if Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, did not repair this letter, it would be no big deal, but why did Zhu Yuanzhang not see this, and he had to repair such a letter to Lianchengjue.

Chu Liuyan was really puzzled by this, but Zhu Yuanzhang must have his motives for doing this, Chu Liuyan naturally understood this, and it was inconvenient to ask.

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's afterglow glanced at the change in Chu Liuyan's expression, and naturally understood why Chu Liuyan was like this, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't give any explanation, just smiled slightly, and then reached out to open a dark compartment on the side of the bookcase, and found a big seal from it.

Chu Liuyan looked at it intently, and saw that the vermilion seal in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand was the city defense seal of Yingtiancheng, but this seal has always been used in official documents, and I don't know why Zhu Yuanzhang actually took out this seal.

Before Chu Liuyan came back to his senses, he saw that after Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guogong, had taken the seal, he had put the city defense seal of Yingtiancheng at the beginning and end of the letterhead written by Fang Cai.

Chu Liuyan couldn't help but stare at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise, not knowing why Zhu Yuanzhang wrote such a private letter to the Chuzhou general Liancheng Jue, but instead stamped it with the city defense seal of Yingtiancheng.

It's a bit unpredictable.

Here, Chu Liuyan stared at Zhu Yuanzhang's actions with a little surprise, but Zhu Yuanzhang, who was stared at by Chu Liuyan, still folded the letterhead as if he was nothing, and then took out a snow-white object from another secret compartment, Chu Liuyan glanced at it slightly, and already knew that it was a sleeve.

Zhu Yuanzhang still unhurriedly put the letterhead into the envelope, and after finishing the matter, he took the fire paint to divide the envelope.

After everything was complete, Zhu Yuanzhang handed the letter to Li Shanchang, the military advisor who was waiting on the side.

Wu Guogong immediately commanded Li Shanchang: "Li Junshi, the road is not quiet now, on the road." You should be careful (for the sake of harmony). ”

Li Shanchang nodded his head with a look of shame and said yes, and in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, he sealed the thick seal and hid it close to his chest.

Li Shanchang bowed his hand to Zhu Yuanzhang slightly, and was about to ask An to resign, but Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, did not say anything to stay, but just told Li Shanchang to be more careful on the road.

It's just that when Li Shanchang was leaving, he immediately glanced back at Chu Liuyan's side, and in an instant, he came out of Wu Guogong's signing room.

Li Shanchang hurriedly walked out of Wu Guogong's mansion, returned to his place of residence, and pulled out the "chrysanthemum green" with extraordinary foot strength given by Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong from the trough, and picked more than ten strong soldiers and more than a dozen good horses with strong feet.

Chu Liuyan sensed some bad breath from Li Shanchang's looking back, Li Shanchang must be extremely dissatisfied with himself in his heart, not to mention that these days, Li Shanchang and his own opinions on the military formation and strategy are all-for-tat, like the tip of the needle to Maimang, from these signs, Li Shanchang must be resentful of himself, but at the moment the overall situation is still important, even if he has some grievances with Li Shanchang, he can't solve it at this time.

Chu Liuyan secretly admonished himself in his heart.

After Zhu Yuanzhang sent Li Shanchang out, he said to Chu Liuyan on the side: "Master Chu, just now my country's public saw that you had a look of surprise and uncertainty on your face, could it be that my country's government did something wrong?" Say what you think in your heart. ”

Chu Liuyan didn't want to ask Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang about Fang Cai, but since Wu Guogong asked openly, Chu Liuyan felt that there was nothing to hide, so he stood up, walked in front of Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Wu Guogong, this matter is inconvenient for Chu Liuyan to inquire, but since Wu Guogong took the initiative to ask, he might as well explain the doubts in his heart to Wu Guogong, and implore Wu Guogong to solve Chu Liuyan's doubts." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, heard this, he just bowed his head slightly and said: "If the Chu military division has doubts in his heart, there is no harm in asking him, and if the public of his country knows, he can rest assured that he will tell you one by one." ”

Hearing Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he naturally felt that he might as well speak up, so he said to Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang: "Just now, Wu Guogong is writing a letter to Chuzhou's Liancheng Jue, and the tone and words are all secret sentences, but why did Wu Guogong not put on his own private seal in the end, but solemnly put on the city defense seal of Yingtiancheng. In Chu Liuyan's humble opinion, whether this is too solemn does not match the tone in Wu Guogongxin. ”

After listening to Chu Liuyan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong couldn't help laughing and said; "What Chu Junshi said is reasonable, but Chu Junshi only knows one and does not know the other. In fact, the public of the country does not put on the private seal that he usually uses, but solemnly engages in the great seal of the city defense of the heavenly city, which is naturally generally exquisite. ”

Chu Liuyan nodded slightly, and then asked: "The subordinates also guessed that Wu Guogong did this, there must be some special reason, but the subordinates are stupid, and they can't know what the reason is, but they are willing to hear the details, if Wu Guogong can show it, Chu Liuyan is grateful." ”

Hearing Chu Liuyan's humble words, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, naturally felt full of satisfaction. Today, in front of the generals under Xu Da and Li Shanchang, he was forced by Chu Liuyan to ask questions, and he had no choice but to say the idea of releasing Xu Da to calm the situation. Although it was not against his will, but after all, this matter was forced by the sharp-toothed Chu Liuyan, and he had to put down his body and submit to others, which was naturally not a happy thing for Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu.

However, Chu Liuyan's attitude greatly made up for Wu Guogong's unhappiness today.

It was Wu Guogong who said eloquently: "Now the Han King Chen Youliang is passing the soldiers outside the city, and the people in Yingtian City are already raging, and they are all extremely afraid of the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang to attack the city, and I am afraid that when the soldiers arrive, the jade will be burned." In such a situation, Chu Junshi thought that what should be the priority. ”

Chu Liuyan thought for a moment, and then said to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, "In Liuyan's humble opinion, if rumors are spreading in Yingtian City, the roads are spreading, people's hearts are turbulent, and the market is not quiet, then everyone must be in danger, and in this case, appeasement should be the first priority." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong heard this, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "Chu Junshi is really worthy of Chu Junshi, and his own Duke also has this insight into this matter. The so-called heroes see the same thing. ”

Chu Liuyan smiled brightly and said: "Wu Guogong doesn't need to lift Liuyan, since Wu Guogong has this opinion, why should he be so flattering to the generals of Chuzhou." Chu Liuyan was puzzled by this, and asked Wu Guo to announce his subordinates. ”

Wu Guogong smiled slightly and said: "There is no need to be anxious about the smoke, about the Han King Chen Youliang's siege of the city, there are even more appalling things, the road is rumored to say that the Han King Chen Youliang is mean and unkind, if the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang captures Yingtian, it will inevitably slaughter the people of the whole city, and kill all the soldiers who defend the city in Yingtian City, in order to vent the rest of the hatred." ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, "Wu Guogong, are these remarks really well-founded, or are they groundless, just some good people are spreading false rumors and adding decorations. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Liuyan with hot eyes, and was shocked in his heart.

He didn't expect Chu Liuyan to be so nervous about the news of Han King Chen Youliang, and he would actually ask himself to verify these false rumors at this time.

However, after being shocked, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of one more thing in his heart, Chu Liuyan had saved the life of the Han King Chen Youliang in the Huanhua Pavilion before, if it weren't for Chu Liuyan who pointed out the way for the Han King Chen Youliang to escape, I am afraid that the Han King Chen Youliang would have been captured by General Tang He and a group of people sent by him that day, and he didn't have to be the same as now, he still had to work hard to choke the offensive of the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang.

Thinking of this old situation in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he was in a bad mood, but he was unwilling to show it in front of Chu Liuyan.

After all, for Zhu Yuanzhang, he still thinks that he can leave a very chic impression on her in front of Chu Liuyan all the time.

It was when Zhu Yuanzhang was still a green-skinned scoundrel in the countryside, and his biggest wish in his heart was to kiss Chu Liuyan's face, or let Chu Liuyan firmly remember his heroic image on the heart version.

However, these are already some old things that are old and rotten, but in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he already feels that he still has to maintain a righteous and gentlemanly appearance in front of Chu Liuyan.

As for where this mentality was formed, even he himself was a little unclear.

But even so, he already valued it.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was a little angry in his heart, he still said with a kind face: "Master Chu, these are just rumors on the streets and alleys, although the Han King Chen Youliang is cruel and murderous, such a big event against the sky that slaughters the city should not be carried out easily, otherwise how will the subjects of the world treat Chen Youliang, the Han King." The so-called saying that three people become tigers, some words are passed around, and they lose their original meaning. So there are some things that we just have to listen to, and we don't have to take them too seriously. ”

Chu Liuyan naturally knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's words were reasonable, no matter how murderous Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty, was, but Chen Youliang's temperament was also extremely treacherous, such a thing that corrupted the reputation, and treacherous like the Han King Chen Youliang was naturally able to weigh the severity of the matter, no matter how cruel Chen Youliang was, no matter how cruel he was, he would take into account the world's leisurely mouth.

Chu Liuyan suddenly remembered something related to the Han King Chen Youliang, when she was in Yingtian, she once found an extremely hidden underground stone prison in the mansion of the Han King Chen Youliang, the stone prison was full of some people, some of them offended the Han King Chen Youliang himself, some people came to the Han King Chen Youliang, and some people violated the law stipulated by the Han King Chen Youliang, and there may be a large number of people who are just some ordinary people who keep to themselves. It's just that Chen Youliang, the king of Han, was arrested from everywhere for fun.

Chu Liuyan lingered in the mansion of the Han King Chen Youliang in Hanyang City for several days, and inadvertently peeked into the secret of the underground stone prison of the Han King Chen Youliang.

Although Chu Liuyan did not go deep into the stone prison, but through the mouth of a stone prison jailer, Chu Liuyan already knew that Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty, had secretly built this stone prison, just to kill people for fun.

But what is obvious is that the stone prison hidden deep under the huge rockery stones in the back garden is like a real hell, and it is not a matter of a normal temperament.

It can be seen that the temperament of the Han King Chen Youliang must be very different from ordinary people, but it also shows another point, the underground stone prison where the Han King attacked political enemies and killed people for fun was hidden so difficult to find out, which was naturally intentional by the Han King Chen Youliang.

And the Han King Chen Youliang's secret practice of building the stone prison under the stones of the huge rockery group in the garden is undoubtedly not wanting the world to know the true face of the Han King Chen Youliang's murderous nature.

Therefore, over the years, there have been many rumors of the Han King Chen Youliang's cruelty and cruelty, but none of the rumors mention that there is such a large-scale stone prison under the garden in the mansion of the Han King Chen Youliang, and what happened in the prison is even the situation in the eighteenth layer of hell.

It can be inferred from these circumstances that even if the Han King Chen Youliang is really extremely cruel and murderous, no matter what, the Han King Chen Youliang already does not want the world to know these circumstances. And the fact that the stone prison is so hidden and so unknown to the people also shows that Chen Youliang, the king of Han, has extremely strict control over these things.

All kinds of thoughts appeared in Chu Liuyan's heart, and they were chaotic. No matter how Chen Youliang treats people in the world, he always treats her Chu Liuyan well. At the beginning, if it weren't for Chen Youliang's opening up of the net, maybe she would not be where she is today.

However, Chu Liuyan naturally knew very well that if the soldiers and horses of the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang attacked Yingtian City, it was still unknown whether they would slaughter the city. But even so, the best solution is undoubtedly to let the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, who came to attack Yingtian City, have no way to approach Yingtian City, no matter what, the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, must not be allowed to approach Yingtian City.

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Liuyan's expression, knowing that Chu Liuyan must have something in his heart, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what Chu Liuyan was thinking in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang waited quietly for a while, and saw that Chu Liuyan was speechless, so he opened his mouth to inquire: "Master Chu, didn't you ask me why I didn't put the private seal of the Duke of China in the private letter to the Liancheng Jue of Chuzhou, but instead stamped the Great Seal of Yingtian's City Defense, and the Duke of China can now tell you that this is just to show the sincerity of the Duke of China to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Chuzhou." ”

When Chu Liuyan heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he was extremely surprised, knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang did this to show his sincerity to the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou.

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chu Liuyan was shocked: "What Wu Guogong said just now is to show sincerity, what kind of sincerity is it, and how is it expressed, please make it public." ”

Regarding these things, Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood in his heart, but for Chu Liuyan's question, Zhu Yuanzhang did hesitate slightly, and wanted to explain the plan in his heart to Chu Liuyan and discuss, because Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little embarrassed.

After all, some of them are not enough places for outsiders to visit, but seeing Chu Liuyan looking so eager, Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and decided not to hide this matter from Chu Liuyan, and said to Chu Liuyan directly: "Since the Chu military division is interested in this, the national prince will inform the Chu military division of the hidden intention of this matter, but the national public has a matter to ask for, if the Chu military division agrees, the national prince will naturally completely inform the Chu military division of this matter." ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, he was stunned, but he immediately returned to normal, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, and said: "Since it is Wu Guogong who has been invited, how can his subordinates not obey orders." I don't know what Wu Guogong has to ask for, if Chu Liuyan is within his ability, he will definitely not refuse, please rest assured that Wu Guogong is this. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, also opened his mouth and said: "The matter of the Duke of China asking the Chu military division to agree is not a big deal, and the Chu military division is also relieved, but it is just today's matter, out of my mouth, into your ears, don't mention it to outsiders." ”

Chu Liuyan nodded, and then responded: "Such a confidential matter, I can take care of it, Chu Liuyan agreed to Wu Guo. ”

Wu Guogong heard that Chu Liuyan agreed with his meaning, and his face was happy, but it was only in the blink of an eye, and then his face darkened, and he said to Chu Liuyan with a little sadness: "Master Chu, please listen to me." ”
