"What's the matter," Zhu Yuanzhang heard Chu Liuyan's abrupt words, and couldn't help but ask.

Chu Liuyan gritted his teeth and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Wu Guogong, please think about it, Yingtian has a day's journey to Chuzhou, and the army is armed to fight, and the catastrophe that almost caused a mutiny is just yesterday's thing, even if Ma Cheng is fast, it is just to deliver the news to King Xiao Ming of Chuzhou at the moment, why King Xiao Ming will have this line to Yingtian so quickly, isn't it very strange." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but nod and said: "This matter is really strange, how does King Xiao Ming seem to have known about this matter for a long time." Could it be that King Xiao Ming instructed the generals of Chuzhou to do this. ”

"I don't dare to make a presumptuous assertion on this matter, but today I interrogated the soldiers who made trouble in Chuzhou, and I learned from the mouth of a soldier that there were indeed people who instigated it, so I made this incident." Chu Liuyan hesitated for a moment and returned to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was greatly moved when he heard this: "Sure enough, Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, has a bad heart, and now he actually stretches out his hand from Chuzhou to meddle in Yingtian's affairs, which is really out of bounds." Zhu Yuanzhang was indignant, although he had been broken into articles over the years, but in his anger, he couldn't help but come up with the mantra of being a green-skinned scoundrel when he was a teenager.

Chu Liuyan knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was dissatisfied with Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, but it was difficult to open his mouth to follow Zhu Yuanzhang's words, so he had to remain silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to sigh and said: "Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, has never known soldiers, but his father Han Shantong is highly respected, and my father-in-law, Marshal Guo, is mainly Han Shantong. If Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, wants to come to Yingtian, it doesn't matter, I will respect King Xiao Ming. But now that the war is imminent, King Xiao Ming is not familiar with the situation in Yingtian, and the soldiers of Yingtian have always been under my control. King Xiao Ming instigated his subordinates to ask me to hand over the military power, and if such a situation was known to the officers and soldiers in the army, I might not be convinced. ”

Chu Liuyan replied: "Wu Guogong, this matter is not something we can hear. It's not something I can talk about. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Strategist, it's okay to say it." ”

Chu Liuyan thought for a while and said: "King Xiao Ming's move must be unwilling to sink in Chuzhou, and he wants to come to Yingtian to spread it." However, Wu Guogong has been operating in Yingtian for many years, and it would be very unwise to give up Yingtian because of King Xiaoming's rash intervention. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "What Master Chu said is reasonable, but now that the situation is pressing, Ji will be released." What's more, King Xiao Ming is here, and the army can't return to his heart. ”

Chu Liuyan smiled and said, "If Wu Guogong has no decision in his heart, I don't dare to rashly propose it before Wu Guogong." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Chu Liuyan and said, "Since this is the case, please ask Chu Junshi to go down and discuss with Liu Junshi first, and see how to deal with this matter." ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, he moved out of the tent, and after walking a few steps, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang say behind him: "If King Xiao Ming comes to Yingtian, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the army." ”

Chu Liuyan felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't stop and still walked out of the tent.

After leaving the camp, Chu Liuyan hit his horse and went straight to Yingtian, entered Yingtian, and ran towards Liu Bowen's mansion in Yingtian's mansion.

Liu Bowen's mansion has been to it many times, so the porter is also very familiar with Chu Liuyan. As soon as he got off the horse, he was seen by the subordinates of the Liu Mansion, and the subordinates came over and led Chu Liuyan's horse to the stable, and the other subordinates entered the Liu Mansion with eager service on the left and right of Chu Liuyan.

The stars were sent into the living room by the subordinates of the Liu Mansion like the moon, and the subordinates greeted Chu Liuyan while going to invite Liu Bowen.

After a while, Liu Bowen walked into the living room with a grinning smile.

As soon as he entered the threshold of the living room, he jumped in front of Chu Liuyan with a smile and looked at Chu Liuyan several times.

Chu Liuyan, who was watching it, was furious, and said to Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you, why are you staring at me like this." “

Xiaoxiao immediately turned his head to Liu Bowen and said, "Childe, I don't think Miss Chu has anything to do, it looks like she was leading the troops to suppress the rebellion in the army yesterday." ”

Liu Bowen smiled and said, "Miss Chu didn't go into battle to kill the enemy by herself, how could there be something." ”

smiled and nodded, and then retreated behind Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen saluted Chu Liuyan and said, "Miss Chu, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, come to me today, but what is the important matter." ”

Chu Liuyan looked at the people in the living room, and whispered to Liu Bowen: "There are many people here, please allow me to take a step to speak." ”

Liu Bowen heard Chu Liuyan say this, and knew that Chu Liuyan must have something extremely important to come to him this time, so he glanced at Chu Liuyan deeply, and said to Chu Liuyan: "Since this is the case, please invite Miss Chu to my study to talk about it." ”

As he spoke, he reported that Chu Liuyan was led out of the living room, through the hall, and came to an extremely quiet place.

Liu Bowen opened the door of the study and personally led Chu Liuyan in, leaving only Xiaoxiao at the door of the study.

Entering the fast, Chu Liuyan looked around, only to feel that the windows in the study were bright and clean, and the furnishings and utensils in the house were all elegant and abnormal.

"Liu Gongzi is really a master, and even the study is so elegantly arranged." Chu Liuyan opened his mouth and praised.

"Wherever, such mundane things can enter Miss Chu's eyes, and it is also a blessing for mundane things."

Chu Liuyan said with a smile: "If there are vulgar things in Liu Gongzi's study, it is estimated that there are no devices in the world's scholars' study that are qualified to be called vulgar things." ”

Liu Bowen smiled and asked, "Miss Chu, what are you coming to me for today?" ”

Chu Liuyan heard Liu Bowen's question, smiled, and said with a straight color: "King Xiao Ming sent an edict to Wu Guogong, saying that he wanted to come to Yingtian in person and take charge of Yingtian's army. ”

"In this way, Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, is going to seize power from the Duke of Wu, so what happened in the army yesterday must also be involved with Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming." Liu Bowen said quickly.

"How did Liu Gongzi see this matter?" Chu Liuyan asked in surprise.

Liu Bowen smiled and said: "There is nothing special about it, yesterday the soldiers outside Yingtian City fought with weapons, and today King Xiao Ming has already written to Yingtian, thinking that this matter must be that King Xiao Ming instructed the soldiers of Chuzhou to make trouble and create an incident, and then used this as an excuse to move the text to Yingtian to threaten Wu Guogong." ”

"Sure enough, seeing that the matter is very clear, Wu Guogong sent me to ask you about the plan, and the plan will be released." Chu Liuyan said.

Liu Bowen hesitated for a moment, and asked Chu Liuyan, "Does Wu Guogong have anything else to say?" ”

Chu Liuyan thought for a while and said: "Yes, when I was leaving, Wu Guogong said that if Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, came to Yingtian, I am afraid that there will be many things in the army." ”

When Liu Bowen heard this, his face changed, and then he lowered his head and thought about it for a while.

Chu Liuyan couldn't help but ask: "I think Wu Guogong means that he doesn't want Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, to come to Yingtian. ”

Liu Bowen glanced up at Chu Liuyan and said, "What Miss Chu said is right, but Miss Chu has only understood half of Wu Guogong's meaning, and the other half of the meaning has not been thoroughly understood. ”

Chu Liuyan was shocked when he heard this, and said: "Could it be that Wu Guogong not only doesn't want Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, to come to deal with the division of power, but also wants"

Liu Bowen nodded and said, "Miss Chu has already understood the meaning of this. Wu Guogong not only didn't want Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, not to come to share his military power, but also hoped that there would be no trouble in the army, and tranquility would be the best. ”

"But even if you don't let Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, come to Yingtian, but there are already 10,000 Chuzhou soldiers and horses outside Yingtian City, if Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, is behind his back, how can the army not cause trouble." Chu Liuyan asked with some confusion.

"Yes, King Xiao Ming made a decree to come to Yingtian, even if Wu Guogong wanted to stop it, it would be a matter of injustice, let alone not to give up the military power. If these rumors spread all over the world, they would inevitably damage Wu Guogong's morality. Liu Bowen sighed and said.

Chu Liuyan frowned and said: "It is not good to disobey orders, but if you act according to orders, when Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, enters Yingtian, he will inevitably become a tiger, even if Wu Guogong is not willing to hand over the military power, it is impossible." ”
