As soon as Chu Liuyan heard the old general say this, he opened his mouth and said: "Thank you for the general's kindness, I'm tired of the old general." ”

The veteran general heard that Chu Liuyan agreed, and immediately rushed out of the tent, and soon found two coats and put them on Chu Liuyan and the herald pawn sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu.

The pawn was a little flattered and put on his coat, and he couldn't thank the veteran.

Chu Liuyan also thanked the old general, and then followed the pawn sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, to fight back to Yingtian City.

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's mansion is still brightly lit, the middle door is open, and the guards are dazzling when they look at the wall outside the door, as if they are facing a great enemy, Chu Liuyan saw that today's vigilance was better than usual, and he thought that something big must have happened.

Chu Liuyan followed the pawns one after the other to the signing room of Director Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong and Zhu Yuanzhang.

The little pawn who went to give the order shouted outside the door: "Wu Guogong, my subordinates have been ordered to invite the Chu military division. ”

Chu Liuyan only heard a surprise call from inside: "Since the Chu military division has been invited, why don't you invite the Chu military division in quickly." ”

Hearing this, the little pawn hurriedly turned his body to the side, made a gesture to Chu Liuyan to invite Chu Liuyan inside, and said: "Wu Guogong ordered, please ask Chu Junshi to enter quickly." ”

Chu Liuyan heard a little fatigue from the voice coming from Fang Cai's room, and knew that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, must be worried, afraid that this incident was not a trivial matter.

However, after only a slight thought, Chu Liuyan raised his steps and entered this familiar room.

Chu Liuyan came to the signing room of Wu Guogong's mansion, and when Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, Wu Guogong stood up and said to Chu Liuyan: "Chu Junshi, something is wrong, I got a secret report, and some people say that those Chuzhou generals outside Yingtian City are going to rebel." ”

Chu Liuyan was shocked in his heart, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "This matter is just a rumor, or is it true." ”

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while and said: "There is no wind and no waves, I'm afraid it's true." ”

Chu Liuyan thought for a while and said: "The matter has come to this point, so I have to send someone to properly enlighten and use rigidity and softness." If the generals of Chuzhou do not listen to the dissuasion, they will allocate troops and force them to suppress them, and they will not allow one person or one horse to enter Yingtian City. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Chu Liuyan's categorical answer, and said with a little hesitation: "Chu Junshi, whether such a move is appropriate, will it force the more than 100,000 Chuzhou soldiers outside Yingtian City?" ”

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's uneasy words, Chu Liuyan also fell silent.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Liuyan said: "Chuzhou soldiers and horses, the ordinary military discipline is extremely bad, now the army of the King of Han is pressing, if the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou are invincible, the trees fall and the monkeys are scattered, if they merge with the Hui bandits, it will be even more chaotic, and the flow will pass, rape, adultery, and plunder, and the place will also suffer greatly." If Chu Liuyan is unfortunate in his words, it will inevitably provoke a civil uprising, and if the soldiers and horses in Chuzhou may be in an uproar, Ying Tian will bear the brunt, and Wu Guogong must not be careful. ”

Wu Guogong frowned when he heard this, and said: "Now that the people are still in the second place, my own country is deeply worried that these more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Chuzhou have the intention of surrendering, if this is the case, instead of losing the help of more than 100,000 soldiers and braves on this side, I will have to face more than 100,000 soldiers in Chuzhou, which is not a good thing for the defense of Yingtian." ”

Chu Liuyan smiled and said, "Wu Guogong's worries, Chu Liuyan thinks it's impossible. ”

Wu Guogong was surprised when he heard this, and asked: "Now that the situation is not clear, why does the Chu military division have such an opinion." ”

Chu Liuyan lowered his head and thought about it silently and said: "There are a few things, but it is inferred that the Chuzhou soldiers and horses outside Yingtian City will definitely not take refuge in the Han King Chen Youliang. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, hurriedly asked: "Please ask the Chu military division to speak for me in detail." ”

Chu Liuyan nodded slightly, and then said: "Wu Guogong also knows that the last time I killed the person who colluded with Chen Youliang, the king of Han, near the Chuzhou camp, even if Chen Youliang had the intention to find the Chuzhou general to lure him to surrender again, the time was so urgent, it was already impossible. ”

Wu Guogong listened to Chu Liuyan's words, and nodded heavily, and said to Chu Liuyan: "Chu Junshi's words are indeed reasonable, if you want to come to Han King Chen Youliang and want to deploy this matter again, it will take at least ten months or so, and it will definitely not be able to catch up." ”

Chu Liuyan nodded slightly and said, "This is one of them." ”

Wu Guogong hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask the Chu military division whether it is other reasons why the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Chuzhou will not defect to the Han army's camp." ”

Chu Liuyan said: "Wu Guogong has forgotten one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Chu Liuyan smiled and said: "The biggest reason why the generals of Chuzhou will not defect to Chen Youliang is that the last time the Han army attacked Anfeng, they not only killed Liu Futong, the commander of these Chuzhou generals, but also killed a lot of generals. ”

When Wu Guogong heard this, he patted his head and said: "My country's father is really confused, and he has forgotten such things. In this way, the possibility of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Chuzhou returning to Chen Youliang, the king of Han, is indeed very small. ”

Chu Liuyan nodded with a smile and said: "Wu Guogong is so extreme, the generals of Chuzhou will not only not belong to the Han King Chen Youliang, but also hate the Han King Chen Youliang to the core, and will definitely not help Chen Youliang and turn the gun to deal with Ying Tian's soldiers." ”

Wu Guogong exhaled and said: "Chu Liuyan's words are really open to my hut, but since the generals of Chuzhou will not help the Han King attack me, but I must also think of a way to make these more than 100,000 soldiers and horses quickly surrender to the account of the Duke of China. ”

Chu Liuyan asked with some curiosity: "Wu Guogong, didn't you say a few days ago that Han King Chen Youliang was still staying in the palace of Hanyang and had no sign of leaving the palace, why did you say today that Han King Chen Youliang was already on the way to attack Yingtian?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, patted the case in front of him with some anger when he heard this, and said: "This is all the trick of the King of Han, who actually used the trick of deceiving the sky and the sea, deceived my eyeliner laid in Hanyang, secretly went out of the palace of Hanyang, led the assembly to complete the troops, and unexpectedly attacked Yingtian." ”

Chu Liuyan asked: "Is this news accurate, is it just a rumor." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think about it and said: "This news is right, General Tang He, who should have been sent to meet the enemy for me, has already sent back a report quickly, saying that Chen Youliang, the king of Han, has arrived in the battle and is personally leading his troops to supervise the battle. ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, he already knew in his heart that what Chang Yuchun and what he said was true, it seemed that Chen Youliang was fierce this time, and he would definitely not stop his army easily.

"General Tang He can't resist, does Wu Guogong send troops to reinforce General Tang He." Chu Liuyan asked Zhu Yuanzhang, Duke of Wu.

"I have already arranged for General Chang Yuchun to rush to support overnight." Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang replied.

Chu Liuyan lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said: "This time the Han King Chen Youliang came to the family, I'm afraid it is not so easy to deal with, if I am only afraid of General Chang Yuchun's reinforcements, I am afraid it will not help." ”

Wu Guogong also sighed heavily when he heard this, and said: "I originally wanted to borrow the power of Chuzhou soldiers and horses, but now I still have not been able to subdue the Chuzhou soldiers, and the Han King Chen Youliang has already launched an attack, obviously the Han King Chen Youliang has spied on this fighter, so he acted like this, but although I know this in my heart, I am helpless." There are too few troops who can fight this kind of war, and even if they want to find Chuzhou soldiers and horses as cannon fodder, people may not be willing to pay attention to me. ”

Chu Liuyan thought for a while and said, "Wu Guogong seems to have forgotten a team that can fight. ”

Wu Guogong stared at Chu Liuyan quietly and said, "Chu Junshi is referring to Xu Da's soldiers. ”

Chu Liuyan nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Wu Guogong said with a gloomy face: "The national general Xu Da has been imprisoned, and the soldiers under Xu Da's command must be dissatisfied with me, if I provoke these generals now, I am afraid that these generals will be blamed on me." ”

Chu Liuyan didn't know whether Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's words were the truth in his heart or a hypocritical expression, so he had to speak: "Wu Guogong doesn't have to worry about this matter, although these generals are under the command of General Xu Da, but in the final analysis, they are also Wu Guogong's subordinates, if Wu Guogong has an order, I think these generals will definitely obey." ”

"Really." When Wu Guogong heard this, a compelling light shot out of his eyes, and he stared at Chu Liuyan without blinking and asked.

Chu Liuyan didn't know if Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, was aware of what he had been planning with General Xu Da in Xu Da's camp these days, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Reasoning logically, this is the case. ”
