Xu Da dismounted and approached the corpse, probed the snort of the leader in the pool of blood, turned his face and shook his head at Chu Liuyan, indicating that this person had died of anger.

"Why does this man coerce you to do such a rebellious thing?" Chu Liuyan asked.

Probably afraid of Chu Liuyan's majestic momentum, this person replied tremblingly: "The leader said that Yingtian's generals are too ruthless, but they are just gathering people to gamble, and they actually killed several soldiers from Chuzhou, and also beat the sergeants involved in gambling with a hundred military sticks, saying that it is such a severe punishment and harsh law, and in a few days, these sergeants from Chuzhou will be cut off by the generals." ”

"Nonsense." The general on Xu Dama's back shouted: "Although the general acted harshly, but he also violated the rules before he was dealt with, you waited until you were not sick and pretended to be sick, deliberately lazy, and did not train, this is just it, but you actually gambled in the barracks, and also pulled the trained soldiers into the water to gamble together. The general did not think that the handling was improper. ”

Listening to the general's words, Chu Liuyan knew the reason for this matter, although he felt that the general's actions naturally had a reason, but at this juncture, this matter is not trivial, if it is not handled properly, it is very likely to provoke the confrontation between the 10,000 Chuzhou soldiers in the army and Yingtian's army, if the situation cannot be controlled, and the mutiny of the Chuzhou soldiers is provoked, it will be bad.

Therefore, Chu Liuyan pondered for a while, and decided to put the matter aside first by using the method of playing thirty boards each, and then deal with it after informing Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu.

At this time, the generals of Chuzhou and Yingtian, who rushed to hear the news, came to the tent and wanted to see how Chu Liuyan dealt with the matter.

Chu Liuyan said slowly: "The fault of this matter is difficult to decide for a while, first lock up the soldiers of both sides involved in the trouble, and wait until the matter is sorted out, and then make a decision." ”

The soldiers responded to the order, took the soldiers who caused the accident to other places, and detained them.

Xu Da said to Chu Liuyan: "This matter needs to be known immediately to Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang, if it is too late, I am afraid that something will happen in the army." ”

Chu Liuyan said: "This is very true, please General Xu immediately and General Chang Yuchun will comfort the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou, and do not make changes." I immediately went to see Wu Guogong and reported the matter. ”

"Then there's a girl who is a laborer." Xu Da replied with a fist. Then he ordered the soldiers outside the camp to make way for Chu Liuyan.

Chu Liuyan turned the horse's head, and the soldiers outside the tent retreated one after another, and immediately retreated out of a way, Chu Liuyan whipped the horse and galloped away.

Zhu Yuanzhang is in Yingtian City, but the city gate has been closed. When Chu Liuyan called to open the city gate and Pegasus rushed to the outside of Wu Guogong's mansion, the fish belly in the east was white, and it was almost dawn.

When the guards at the gate of the mansion saw Chu Liuyan's posture, they knew that something big must have happened.

After asking, it turned out that Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming from Chuzhou, had changed his soldiers and horses, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly let a Zhu Yuanzhang's henchman guard enter and wake up Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang slept in a daze, and the guards saw it and evoked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang also lost his temper and scolded the guards for disturbing his dreams.

When he heard the guard's report that the Chu military division was coming, the soldiers and horses in Chuzhou were afraid that something had changed, and he was shocked, so he immediately came to his senses, put on a piece of clothing haphazardly, and hurriedly ran out to see Chu Liuyan.

"Chu Junshi, isn't the Chuzhou military horse a good place, why did you suddenly have this news."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning, Chu Liuyan saw that the matter was slightly explained, and admonished: "Wu Guogong, there is no need to trace this matter back to the source now, now there must be rumors everywhere in the army, if it is not handled properly, the army will cause a big disaster, and the top priority at the moment is how to deal with this matter." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while and asked, "According to the meaning of the military advisor, what should I do?" ”

"Wu Guogong, I have a reluctant request, please Wu Guogong quickly return to the army with me, appease the Chuzhou soldiers and horses, and don't let the Chuzhou generals and soldiers not get angry with him, this is the best strategy for today's chaos." Chu Liuyan knelt down and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head when he heard this: "Well, this statement is reasonable, if the official of the country does not come forward, the soldiers of Chuzhou will definitely think that this incident is the official order of the country, if it provokes a mutiny, it will be really out of control." ”

"Come on, quickly prepare the horses and accompany your country's public to the army." Zhu Yuanzhang said to the guards.

After a while, the horses were ready, and Zhu Yuanzhang took Chu Liuyan and a pair of guard horses and went straight to the military camp outside Tiancheng.

Last night, the incident of the soldiers of Chuzhou and Yingtian fighting each other has been widely spread in the army after a night.

Early the next morning, the Chuzhou generals and Yingtian generals under the Chang Yuchun tent came to the big tent of Chang Yuchun one after another to ask for an explanation.

As a result, the soldiers on both sides argued, and they almost had to start fighting again.

Fortunately, Xu Da was on the side to appease him, and the Chuzhou generals who had come to make trouble were temporarily returned to their respective camps.

However, General Han Bi was indeed extremely happy when he saw this, and provoked and united several angry Chuzhou generals to secretly connect with each other in private, in an attempt to make some "movements" in the army.

The atmosphere in the army is delicate, and there is a faint trend of wind and rain coming. Chang Yuchun and Xu Da were also worried, for fear that between their elbows and armpits, the Chuzhou soldiers would blatantly ignore it and rebel in the army.

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Chu Liuyan came to the outside of the tent, Chang Yuchun and Xu Dafang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wu Guogong, whether to immediately order someone to beat drums and gather the crowd to come to discuss." Chu Liuyan asked.

"Well, this is the right thing to do, immediately order someone to beat the drum and gather the crowd to discuss the matter in the tent." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said.

Set up a drum tower in the army, there is a long thick waist cowhide snare drum hanging on the top, where there is a big event in the army, send people to beat this drum, the generals in the army, no matter how secret, should immediately come to the big tent to obey the order.

This drum is not a last resort for urgent matters, and must not be used, because when they heard this, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun both looked at each other, knowing that this matter was not trivial.

Chang Yuchun ran to a heart and went to beat the drum in person.

Less than half an hour after this man went, the drums in the camp were thundering, and all the generals knew that something was wrong in the army, so they rushed over one after another.

When the generals came to fight, they found that Wu Guogong did not know when he had arrived, sat in the big tent, and came forward to salute one after another.

After greeting for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the generals to sit down in turn, and said straight to the point: "Today's father-in-law came to the army, in fact, it was for a major event yesterday, and I was shocked to hear that last night, the soldiers of Chuzhou and the soldiers of Yingtian fought with weapons, and also injured the lives of several people. ”

The generals under Chang Yuchun stepped forward and said: "Wu Guogong, there is indeed something going on, and it is all because of the unfavorable restraint of his subordinates that it caused such a catastrophe. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, glanced at this person and said: "Our army has strict orders, since such a terrible incident has happened, the general who leads the troops cannot escape the blame, but you are the general who led the troops by his subordinates who made trouble." ”

"It is the last general who is in charge, and if this happens, the last general is indeed guilty." As he spoke, he knelt down to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted: "Since you are guilty, take off the crown of this person, strip off the robe, and escort him to Yingtian City for temporary detention." After the investigation of the situation, the punishment will be imposed. ”

As Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang came to the guards, he hurriedly went up, removed the helmet and armor of the general kneeling on the ground, walked out of the tent with him hostage, tied it to his horse, and led the troops away.

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw the guards pull the criminal general away, he turned his head to Dadaoao and said: "This matter is already known to the national public, and the generals and soldiers are strict, so that this change is provoked, and the national public is also responsible, but please be able to think of state affairs and appease the people of Chuzhou, so as not to breed accidents." ”

This happened last night, Dadaoao found a few henchmen and generals, and also learned a little about the clue of this incident, and knew that the initiator was not the general who had just been taken away, but someone in the Chuzhou army who took advantage of the gap to cause such an incident.

Seeing that Wu Guogong had recruited all this matter to the Ying Tian generals, he was a little reluctant to go, so he said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Wu Guogong, the Chuzhou soldiers are also at fault in this matter, and we are also negligent in picketing, so we caused such a trouble, so I asked Wu Guogong to lightly punish the detained generals." On the side of the Chuzhou soldiers, I will go to appease and ask Wu Guogong to be relieved. ”

Before the words fell, I could only hear many people shouting outside the tent: "Hand over the murderer, or you will be out of the sky." ”

The generals in the tent were shocked, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, also changed his complexion, and hurriedly walked out of the tent.

Seeing this, Chang Yuchun and Xu Da hurriedly stepped forward to protect Zhu Yuanzhang's left and right, lest the traitor take advantage of the gap and hurt Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu.

Chu Liuyan and the others walked out of the camp together, and when they looked at it, they were shocked, and outside the land of three arrows, hundreds of soldiers from Chuzhou held hands and formed a phalanx and walked over.

Chu Liuyan's first feeling was that the phalanx was so regular, and someone must have instructed him behind his back.
