Chu Liuyan and Xu Da returned to the army and reported what they saw and heard to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang guessed a lot, but Guo Tianxu was the only one missing. He always thought that Guo Tianxu was just a yellow-mouthed child and would not be a big deal, but he didn't expect that it was him who made Zhu Yuanzhang lose again and again.

According to Chu Liuyan's plan, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to kill Zhang Shicheng's army at Langya Slope, and won a battle happily. Killing Zhang Shicheng's soldiers will not be more than 10,000 people, but his own side has hardly suffered great damage. And Guo Tianxu, Zhu Yuanzhang will not let him go willingly.

However, he has always been Guo Zixing's son, and if he is killed openly, it will chill the hearts of the world. So, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Guo Zixing to meet Xu Shouhui's army. What kind of person Chen Youliang is, how can a mere Guo Tianxu be his opponent. Soon, Guo Tianxu was killed by Chen Youliang in the war. Get rid of a piece of heart disease for Zhu Yuanzhang. It's just that in this way, Chu Liuyan was secretly frightened in his heart. She deeply realized that Zhu Yuanzhang at this time was no longer the Zhu Yuanzhang of the past.

Just when Chu Liuyan was worried, there was good news. It was Liu Bowen who came to Zhu Yuanzhang with happiness and smiles. Since Liu Yiyi committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, Liu Bowen's emotions have not been calm. After this year, he gradually forgot about this matter, and remembered the kind invitation of Chu Liuyan and Chang Yuchun, so he came to help Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he saw Liu Bowen, took his hand, and said, "Sir, we have a chance to seize the world." ”

Liu Bowen proposed the "Eighteen Strategies for Current Affairs" to Zhu Yuanzhang, and he said: "Marshal, although we are caught in the middle now, the situation seems to be unfavorable to us, but it is difficult for Zhang Shicheng to become a big person, and the only thing that worries people is Chen Youliang under Xu Shouhui." Now Chen Youliang has controlled Tianwan Securities, and Xu Shouhui is just a puppet. As long as we concentrate on dealing with Chen Youliang with all our strength, and there is only one Zhang Shicheng left, it will be insignificant. Then, take the Central Plains in the north and conquer the heroes in the south, which can become a hegemony. ”

Liu Bowen's words won Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and his generals also agreed with it. Only Li Shanchang, who was originally very resentful of Chu Liuyan's woman as a military advisor, is already very resentful, and now there is another Liu Bowen who can be compared to Zhuge Kongming in the Three Kingdoms period, which makes him even more jealous.

Previously, Zhu Yuanzhang had written a letter to Zhang Shicheng, hoping that he could get along peacefully with Zhang Shicheng. However, Zhang Shicheng would rather fight on two fronts than agree. Liu Bowen, Chu Liuyan and others all suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang hit Zhang Shicheng hard first, and then go all out to deal with Chen Youliang, and then seek a follow-up.

It just so happened that Zhang Shicheng was angry about Zhu Yuanzhang's injury of 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he launched an attack on Zhu Yuanzhang in July. Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the advice of Liu Bowen and Chu Liuyan and others, appointed Xu Da and Chang Yuchun as the commanders, attacked Zhang Shicheng's army head-on, and defeated Zhang Shicheng in Longtan.

At this time, there was an incident related to Chang Yuchun, which gave Zhu Yuanzhang a headache. That is "kill and surrender".

Since the war, he has often met the spring to fight in the east and west, he is extremely brave, and his achievements are impressive, and he is not bad, but he has a special habit, that is, "killing and surrendering". Every time he saw a surrendered soldier, Chang Yuchun's whole person was like a demon, his mind was no longer under his control, and he would kill all those who surrendered. In the first battle of Longtan, 5,000 people were buried alive in the spring. This shocked everyone in the world, and for a while, the sound of killing was endless.

Zhu Yuanzhang not only cherishes Chang Yuchun's talents, but also is very angry about his killing. What made Zhu Yuanzhang even more angry was that the killing and surrender had already caused public outrage in the world. He feared that the people of the world would unite and fight against him together, so that even if there were more strong soldiers and fierce generals under his command, it would be difficult for the enemy to be outnumbered.

The only way to solve this problem is to hand over Chang Yuchun. But this Chang Yuchun is not only Zhu Yuanzhang's general, but also Zhu Yuanzhang's brother from childhood to adulthood. Zhu Yuanzhang handed him over, and he was a little unbearable. What's more, in Zhu Yuanzhang's impression, Chang Yuchun is not such a person, but the facts are in front of him, and he has to believe it. For a while, he was very hesitant, so he transferred Chang Yuchun back from the front line.

Chu Liuyan didn't believe that Chang Yuchun would do such a thing no matter what. In her mind, Chang Yuchun has always been a reckless but absolutely upright person. After Chang Yuchun returned from the front, she went to visit him.

"Brother Chang." Chu Liuyan walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup and a smile.

Chang Yuchun was sitting in the room in a daze, and when he saw Chu Liuyan, he didn't say anything.

Chu Liuyan slowly walked up to him and said, "Brother Chang, I've already heard about you. I believe that you are not that kind of person. ”

Chang Yuchun's eyes suddenly lit up a little, his face was full of pain, he glanced at Chu Liuyan, and muttered, "Sister Liuyan, you are serious..... Do you really believe me? ”

Chu Liuyan nodded very firmly, and she said slowly: "Brother Chang, as long as I believe in you, it is useless. What the hell is going on, you have to tell me, and we can figure it out. ”

Chang Yuchun hesitated for a while, he held his head in both hands, very painful, and said to Chu Liuyan: "Liuyan girl, when I talk about it, maybe you don't want to believe it." Actually, I don't know what's going on, every time I fight on the battlefield and see blood, I feel like there is a fire burning in my chest. When I saw the surrendered people again, the fire in my heart burned even more vigorously, and I only felt that if I didn't kill those people, the fire in my heart would not be extinguished. The whole person is like going crazy. There is no control at all. I knew it wasn't right, but I couldn't help it. ”

Chang Yuchun said, as if he was talking about a very terrible and terrible thing, his whole face turned blue, he shook his head vigorously, and said: "I doubt that I am possessed by ghosts and gods, so this kind of thing will happen!" I don't want to kill innocents, why, why is this happening......"

Chu Liuyan gently patted Chang Yuchun's shoulder and comforted him: "Brother Chang, don't be like this first." Tell me, is this the only thing that has happened recently, or has it been like this before?"

Chang Yuchun tried hard to suppress his emotions: "Since the beginning of the war in Hezhou, it has been like this. It's just that at that time, it can still be controlled. Until now, there is no way to control it. ”

When Chu Liuyan heard it, he also felt very terrifying in his heart. Could it be that there is a devil in everyone's heart? When the time is right, will the devil wreak havoc on people's hearts, turning people from a person into a devil? It's just horrible. But why, did such a thing happen to Chang Yuchun?

Chu Liuyan pondered for a while, and she suddenly thought that in her mother's notes, there seemed to be a record of this. That's the art of disgust. The art of disgust is a type of witchcraft, and it is not a bad thing in the first place. In An Shi's poem "Yuan Ri", it is written: In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one. Always replacing the new peach with the old charm is a kind of disgust, which is used to seek good fortune and avoid evil. However, in addition, there is another way to use people's birth dates to control people's hearts and make people do things that they don't want to do.

However, for this kind of technique, Chu Liuyan only remembered that he had seen it. As for how to solve it, she has no way. She told Chang Yuchun her thoughts, asked him not to think crankily for the time being, take a good rest, and then went to Liu Bowen to discuss.

Liu Bowen knows astronomy and geography, and he has also heard of the art of disgust, but he has never seen it, let alone how to get rid of it.

Chu Liuyan decided to go back to her hometown Zhongli County to retrieve all the notes of her mother's relatives that she had hidden in the past, and find a way to help Chang Yuchun. Xu Da was fighting on the front line and commanding thousands of troops, so he couldn't accompany her. So, Xiaoxiao accompanied her there.

When she arrived in Zhongli County and got the notes, she and Xiaoxiao hurried back to the sky. At this time, she got good news that Du Ziyue's son Du Pipong, as well as Hu Lai and others, had been killed by the rebels. She remembered the past, but she didn't expect it to be so easy, and she had to take revenge, and she was very emotional.

went to Zhongli County, this back and forth, has been gone for six or seven days. Back in the army, Chu Liuyan didn't have time to rest, so he went to look through the thick stack of notes recorded by his mother, hoping to find a way to crack the art of disgust.

With the help of Liu Bowen, I flipped through for most of the day, and sure enough, I found a record about the art of aversion to victory. According to Chen Sixi, the art of disgust with victory, in her hometown, is called witchcraft, which uses the dark side of people's psychology to control people's hearts and make people do things that they would not normally do. Once this concept penetrates into a person's heart, it will be like the devil, in the heart of the person, take root, grow crazy, and soon can completely change a person, and in the end, that person knows that it is wrong, and will do it, and over time, if you don't do it, you can't calm down, and if you don't do it, you will be restless, which forms "obsessive-compulsive disorder".

Although Chu Liuyan didn't understand what "obsessive-compulsive disorder" was, she knew that she would fidget when she didn't kill in spring, which showed that the technique of aversion to victory was already very deep. If you want to cure it, you must find out the source, destroy it, and then enlighten Chang Yuchun, so that he can slowly forget the curse in his heart, so that it can be completely solved.

However, who gave Chang Yuchun the technique of disgust with victory? That person must have the birth date of Chang Yuchun, could it be the person around him? Chu Liuyan shuddered when he thought of this. Liu Yiyi's matter has already made her sigh deeply, if there are people around her to frame Chang Yuchun, wouldn't it be even more distressing?
