After the generals left, Lian Chengjue also dismissed all the people who served, and because some of them had drunk too much, they went back to their camps to rest.

Chu Liuyan had already heard many extremely secret things from the banquet of the Chuzhou generals, and he already knew in his heart that if he wanted to rescue Xu Da, he must report the situation of the Chuzhou soldiers and horses to Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang as soon as possible, if Zhu Yuanzhang knew the current situation of the lack of grain and grass in Chuzhou, as long as a part of Yingtian's grain and grass was temporarily allocated, it would be possible to make the hearts of the generals of Chuzhou settle down, so that they could take care of the hearts of the people and collect more than 100,000 Chuzhou soldiers and horses for their own use.

Chu Liuyan made up his mind, so he sneaked out of the tent, still dodged a few pairs of patrolling Chuzhou guards, quietly avoided the sentry guards, and still quickly slipped out of the camp where the Chuzhou soldiers and horses were stationed, and found a road to Yingtianguan.

By the time it was time to respond to the sky, it was already nighttime, Chu Liuyan knew that this kind of news could not help but inform Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong immediately, so he immediately went to the mansion of Zhu Yuanzhang, the prince of Wu Guo, but to Chu Liuyan's surprise, when Chu Liuyan arrived at the door of Zhu Yuanzhang's mansion, the door should have been closed tightly, but the lights were bright, and some fast horses ran to the mansion, all of them were some people who sent military intelligence letters.

Chu Liuyan already knew that so many fast horses must indicate that there must be a lot of important and important military information delivered to the mansion of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo.

When I came to the mansion of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, I saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's signing room was still brightly lit, and these things also illustrated one thing, Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong must have something important, so at this hour, he was still resting in peace, and he was still handling official business in the signing room.

Sure enough, as soon as Chu Liuyan stepped into the signing room, he saw that there was not only Wu Guogong in the room, but even Liu Bowen.

I saw Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang frowning deeply, staring at a small note.

And Liu Bowen sat on the side, drinking tea all day.

As soon as Liu Bowen saw Chu Liuyan coming in, his eyes suddenly lit up, he stood up, took Chu Liuyan aside attentively, and then said softly to Chu Liuyan: "Miss Chu, where did you go after you left the ancestral hall today, Wu Guogong and I sent many people to search for a long time in that area, but there was no trace of you, and I thought that you were captured by Chen Youliang's army, and now that you are back, I am a lot more relieved." ”

Chu Liuyan heard that Liu Bowen actually mentioned Chen Youliang as soon as he opened his mouth, and asked with some curiosity: "What does this matter have to do with Han King Chen Youliang, I just ran for a while, and then lost the road, who knew that I accidentally broke into the place where the Chuzhou soldiers and horses were camped outside Yingtian City, and actually let me discover a huge secret." ”

Chu Liuyan replied in such a colorful voice, even Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu who was frowning and thinking about something, was also attracted, and then raised his head and said apologetically to Chu Liuyan: "Chu Junshi, today's matter is the country's own opinion, but these are also for the overall situation, I have to be like this, after the Chu Junshi and I argued, I left angrily, I was also very worried, and I also sent a lot of people to find the military division, but I didn't expect that the dozens of people sent out, after looking for a whole half a day, I didn't even find any trace of the Chu military divisionAt dusk, a military report came, saying that the Han King Chen Youliang had rashly attacked, and several small cities had been lost, and he had heard that the Han King had sent troops to cross the river.

Liu Bowen said: "So Wu Guogong thought that you must have been caught by the people sent by the King of Han to fight the front station, so Wu Guogong was very worried, he always thought that something had happened to you, and he had to personally rescue you for the soldiers, I dissuaded him, Wu Guogong still refused to listen to me, so I started a hexagram, but the hexagram showed that you were not a threat, and Wu Guogong did not personally raise troops to save you." ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, he couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, Chu Liuyan never thought that so many things had happened during the period of his "disappearance", and what he didn't expect was that Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already a Duke of Wu, actually had to personally lead the troops to save himself when he didn't know where he was, and he also deduced that he might have been captured by the enemy.

This matter was really an unspeakable surprise for Chu Liuyan, Chu Liuyan didn't expect that this man, who seemed to be unpretentious to himself, seemed to have an extremely ardent concern for himself.

It's just that he "disappeared" for a few hours by chance, since Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang wants to personally raise troops to save himself, of course, although Chu Liuyan is extremely grateful for these things, but there are two men in front of him, Liu Bowen and Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang, Chu Liuyan is not willing to show some children's feelings before these two.

So Chu Liuyan quickly grabbed the topic and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu: "I'm already back, so there is no need to mention this matter again." It's just that I learned some things that Wu Guogong might be extremely interested in in the camp of the Chuzhou generals, and I don't know if Wu Guogong has the grace to listen to the news that I, a subordinate who contradicted you, found out. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, said very happily: "Master Chu doesn't have to talk like this, how can Zhu Yuanzhang ever blame you in the slightest, today's matter, after I came back, I also thought about it for a while, and felt that Master Chu You are not at fault, it was my words that were a little inappropriate, so that you didn't say goodbye in the afternoon." In hindsight, I really regretted it. If the Chu military division still considers me to be your Wu Guogong, then please ask the Chu military division to speak for me. ”

Listening to Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chu Liuyan felt a lot more comfortable, although he still didn't know if Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards General Xu Da had changed, but from the sincerity of Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's words, it seemed that he had already made a great concession to himself.

Therefore, Chu Liuyan might as well have him, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen, the Duke of Wu, and said: "After I entered the territory of the Chuzhou generals, I heard that the main book of the Chuzhou army said that the grain and grass of the Chuzhou soldiers and horses stationed outside Yingtian City were about to run out. ”

Liu Bowen was shocked and said, "Isn't it true that you can't stand it for a few days?" ”

Now it was Chu Liuyan's turn and said in surprise: "Why did Liu Junshi say this, could it be that Liu Junshi knew about this matter, and also knew that the grain and grass of the Chuzhou soldiers and horses outside Yingtian City would soon be unable to help." ”

Liu Bowen smiled and said: "I can't calculate the specific situation so clearly, but since the death of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, I have asked Wu Guogong to try to pay attention to this aspect of the situation." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, naturally knew about these things, so he nodded at Chu Liuyan and said: "I also sent someone to Chuzhou to investigate, and I know that after the death of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, the group of Wenchen in Chuzhou simply ignored the official documents sent by the Chuzhou soldiers of Yingtian to solicit grain and grass, and even received news that Yingtian's Chuzhou generals sent a high-status general back to ask for grain and grass, but they also ate the closed door and failed to get a cent. ”

Chu Liuyan heard this: "But there is such a thing, I also heard from the general of Chuzhou that Chuzhou's military rations have been sold out by Wenchen, this matter is too unbelievable, how can anyone dare to do such a thing blatantly." ”

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen listened to Chu Liuyan's complaints, looked at each other and smiled, but did not reply.

Chu Liuyan saw that the two of them were laughing quite strangely, so he asked curiously: "What's the matter, do you know about this matter, could it be you?"

Before Chu Liuyan's words fell, Liu Bowen hurriedly said: "Actually, this matter was arranged by Wu Guogong. ”

Chu Liuyan stared at Zhu Yuanzhang in great surprise and said, "Wu Guogong, did you really send someone to Chuzhou to buy this batch of grain?" ”

Wu Guogong humbly waved his hand and said: "It's not my idea, it's really that I listened to Liu Junshi's advice, and I acted like this, if Liu Bowen hadn't told me about it, I wouldn't have sent someone to pretend to be a merchant and buy these things from the ministers of Chuzhou. ”

Liu Bowen said with a smile: "Wu Guogong is too modest, if Wu Guogong is willing to take out two-thirds of all the gold and silver to buy so much grain and grass, it will make the Chuzhou soldiers and horses outside Yingtian City forced to be helpless, so they have to take refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu." ”

Chu Liuyan said a little incredulously: "Master Liu, could it be that these things have already been in your calculations, so tightly and meticulously, it is really a rare strategy to force the Chuzhou generals into a Jedi step by step." ”

Liu Bowen waved his sleeves and said: "This is just a small skill of carving insects, Miss Chu is so ridiculous, Liu Bowen doesn't know how to answer." ”
