Seeing that Guo Zixing was not threatened, and killing Guo Zixing really didn't work. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help frowning, he remembered that Xu Da had advised him not to hand over all the troops to Guo Zixing, and he himself didn't listen to Xu Da's words, and he couldn't help but regret it deeply. But what we have to do now is to find a way to persuade Guo Zixing. However, Guo Zixing is cunning and cunning, no matter how much he threatens, there is no way.

It was Guo Tianxu, who was scared half to death, and he cried and shouted with a sad face: "Dad, you can give Chuzhou to your brother-in-law." If I die, you won't have a son to die again. ”

Guo Zixing sneered and said: "If one day, I, Guo Zixing, can become the emperor, and everyone in the world is my people." Even if there is no son to die, what can he do? Zhu Yuanzhang, don't waste your efforts. Do you think that if you say that, I will surrender? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang had nothing to do, Chu Liuyan walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and whispered to him for a while. Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "So far, it can only be like this." He said to Guo Zixing: "Father-in-law, since this is the case, I, as a son-in-law, will no longer embarrass you." However, I can't stay in this Chuzhou City. You want to lend me 3,000 troops, I will go and take down Nahezhou, I will go to Hezhou to stay, you are comfortable in your Chuzhou, how about it? If you don't even want to use this condition, I'm afraid that the people of the world will laugh at you Guo Zixing and kill them all. ”

Guo Zixing pondered for a while, and said with a straight face: "Zhu Yuanzhang, you can." It's just that I don't have 3,000 troops, but I can lend you 1,000. I'll give you these thousand. If you can conquer Hezhou, you will leave Chuzhou City and never come back. If you can't beat Hezhou, you can't go back to Chuzhou City in the future, how about it? If you agree to my terms, I will lend you someone. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Guo Zixing had made up his mind and knew that he would not reconsider, so he nodded and said, "Since this is the case, let's do as you say." So, Li Shanchang drafted a document, Guo Zixing and Zhu Yuanzhang signed each of them, and everyone let Guo Zixing and his son go.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Xu Da was wrong. Xu Da is frank, but Zhu Yuanzhang is unreasonably suspicious, thinking that all this is not unrelated to the private affairs of his children, Zhu Yuanzhang can't help but feel very unhappy. At this moment, he did not delve into Li Shanchang's responsibilities, as soon as he came, this was originally the time to employ people; Second, the reason why this decision was made in the first place also has a very important relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang's own insistence.

Hezhou was still under the jurisdiction of the Yuan Dynasty at this time, but the military defense of Hezhou was quite weak. Yan Bingyan, the defender in the city, was originally incompetent. Most of the soldiers in Hezhou City are old, weak, sick and disabled. The original nearly 10,000 people fled and ran, but now there are less than 3,000 left. So, under the leadership of Zhu Yuanzhang, it was easy to capture Hezhou City.

Although the military defense of Hezhou has weakened, there is one thing that makes people feel gratifying. That is, the city is less affected by the war, and the people are abundant, which is also a good thing for Zhu Yuanzhang. In this way, although Zhu Yuanzhang only has 1,000 soldiers in his hands, he does not have to worry about the soldiers' food and grass.

On the other hand, Guo Zixing has encountered the problem of food shortage. Originally, there was a shortage of food in Chuzhou City, but as soon as Guo Zixing came, he brought thousands of people, so the food was obviously not enough. When Guo Zixing was at a loss, he saw that Hezhou had enough food, and began to play with the idea of Hezhou again.

At the same time, in Bozhou, where Sun Deya is located, there are also problems with the supply of grain and grass. So, he also got the idea of Hezhou.

Sun Deya immediately took nearly 100,000 people under his command and went straight to Hezhou. Guo Zixing was originally eyeing Chuzhou, but now he heard that his old rival Sun Deya was coming, and the former hatred saved the hatred, and they came to their hearts together. So, he also took his 30,000 or 40,000 elite soldiers and came in the direction of Hezhou.

Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about the shortage of manpower in the army, and suddenly, Tang He hurriedly reported: "Generalissimo, it's not good, it's not good, Sun Deya in the east has brought more than 100,000 people and went straight to Hezhou City, we only have 1,000 people, I'm afraid we are not their opponents." ”

Tang He had just finished his report, and Zhou Dexing also came to report: "Marshal Qiyu, the big thing is not good, Guo Zixing has brought 30,000 elite soldiers from the direction of Chuzhou, I'm afraid something will happen now." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked: There are chasing soldiers in front and tigers and wolves in the back, what should I do? Zhu Yuanzhang immediately summoned Chu Liuyan and Li Shanchang, as well as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, Feng Guosheng and others to discuss this matter. Everyone was at a loss, but Chu Liuyan smiled and said, "Good thing, good thing." Marshal, this is a good thing, congratulations to the marshal. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was surprised: "Smoke girl, why do you say this is a good thing." There is no way for us to compete with them. In this case, I'm afraid something will happen. ”

"No, it won't." Chu Liuyan said: "Marshal, you should know it in your heart. In Guo Zixing's mind, the most hated person should be Sun Deya, and in Sun Deya's mind, the most hated person is naturally Guo Zixing. And now, they all feel that Hezhou is a good place, and they are rushing to Hezhou together. In this case, they will definitely meet. And when they meet, the first person they have to deal with is naturally you, the marshal who has no soldiers and no generals, but the other party they hate the most in their hearts. In this way, the sandpiper and the clam compete with each other, and the fisherman profits. And what damage does this do to the marshal? When the results were fought on both sides, we took the opportunity to subdue the defeated army. At this time, the winning side was exhausted, and we preserved our strength by watching the fire from across the shore for a long time. We can reorganize the defeated army, add our original strength, and then fight the victorious. What's more, this battle may not be able to be fought. Because, the marshal is kind to Guo Zixing, and he has no deep hatred with Sun Deya. At best, they just wanted to come to the marshal and get some cheap food and grass. ”

Chu Liuyan's analysis was clearly organized, and every sentence was reasonable, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but stroking his palms and said: "Liuyan girl is really smart." With you as a female military division, we don't have to worry about winning the battle. ”

Li Shanchang saw that Chu Liuyan was in the limelight again, and his heart became more and more unhappy. After all, the military advisors in Zhu Yuanzhang's army are Li Shanchang and Chu Liuyan, and Chu Liuyan is a woman, but every time Li Shanchang is not as thorough as Chu Liuyan, which makes him very unconvinced. Now, hearing Zhu Yuanzhang praise Chu Liuyan so much, he is even more unhappy.

He said: "I see all this because the marshal has the blessing of heaven. Last time, if Guo Hui hadn't remembered the old feelings and told General Lan about Guo Zixing's intention to poison us, we wouldn't have escaped that catastrophe. This time, there is a fight between Guo Zixing and Sun Deya, which is really a marshal of heaven. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Li Shanchang say this, he couldn't help but feel a little high-spirited.

Chu Liuyan's eyebrows were raised, but he added a little worry. She said, "Marshal, now, I am not worried about them fighting. It's just that, but there is another sorrow. ”

"So what? If you have anything to worry about, just say it. Zhu Yuanzhang said to Chu Liuyan with a smile.

Chu Liuyan frowned and said softly: "I'm afraid, but they can't fight." ”

"Can't you fight? How is this possible. I think Guo Zixing can't wait to break Sun Deya's body into thousands of pieces, and Sun Deya can't wait to eat Sun Deya alive. If you want to say that they can't fight when they meet, won't it become a big joke in the world? I think you're too worried, girl. Li Shanchang said leisurely.
