Chapter 55: Words Return to Heaven

The guards who rushed to the house saw a teacup on the ground, and there was only a puddle of tea and tea stains on the ground, but there was nothing else unusual.

The leading guard raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang's face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be very worried.

There was no clue, and for a while, the leader of the guards couldn't tell what was going on from Wu Guogong's demeanor. Blink an eye to see that it was everyone in the room, and the spies who had just arrived in a hurry were kneeling on the ground, as if they had already wanted Wu Guogong to report something.

Looking at the Chu Junshi standing next to him, he was also worried, as if he had really encountered something difficult to understand.

However, it doesn't seem that there are any assassins or other spies who sneaked into Wu Guogong's mansion and wanted to take Wu Guogong's life.

The leader of the guards was a little calmer in his heart, as long as someone didn't deliberately break into the mansion and wanted to murder Wu Guogong, he would have nothing to do with himself after all.

The guards only lead the responsibility of protecting the security of Wu Guogong, as long as the protection of Wu Guogong is thorough, even if there is a disturbance in the house, the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han outside, has nothing to do with the guards.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the guards break in, and knew that he was too panicked for a while, and he couldn't hold it anymore, and smashed the teacup in his hand.

It was really embarrassing to lose his temper so much in front of the soldiers under his command.

In the past few years, strong winds and waves have passed, but why to this day, when I heard that the warship under Chen Youliang appeared on the river, I was panicked to such a point.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but blame himself secretly, but now that the guards had already broken in, he had to deal with this matter first.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang settled down, lowered his voice and said to the leader of the guards who broke in: "The prince of my country accidentally broke this teacup, it is no big problem, you wait to go out first, call a maid to come and clean up the broken porcelain and other things on the ground immediately." ”

The head of the guard hurriedly replied: "My subordinates understand, Wu Guogong, please wait a while, and my subordinates will do it immediately." ”

Saying that, the leader of the guards beckoned to a few guards behind him, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "If there is nothing else to do, the subordinates will retreat first." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly at the guards, stretched out his hand and pushed out, indicating that he agreed with the words of the head of the guards.

As soon as the leader of the guards saw Wu Guogong's gesture, he already understood Wu Guogong's intentions, and then took the lead to go out, and several guards behind him also followed.

As a result, Chu Liuyan and Zhu Yuanzhang were left in the room, as well as a few spies who rushed to report the military situation.

Chu Liuyan took a step forward and walked to the side of the soldier who had just told Zhu Yuanzhang about the situation of the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang coming to General Yingtian, and asked this person: "You get up first, this army division has something to ask you." ”

The spy soldier who was originally kneeling on the ground heard Chu Liuyan's order, but he didn't dare to get up rashly, but just raised his eyes and handed Zhu Yuanzhang an inquiring look.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, he opened his mouth and said: "The order of the Chu military division is the order of the national duke, and the military advisor asks you to get up and reply, and you will get up, and the national duke will naturally not blame you." ”

As soon as the soldiers heard Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong give such an order, they thought that Zhu Yuanzhang kowtowed respectfully, then stood up, turned around and arched his hand to Chu Liuyan in a proper manner, and said: "If the Chu military division has any opinions, his subordinates must know everything and say everything." ”

When Chu Liuyan saw the soldier's solemn appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart.

Knowing that the soldiers respect themselves so much, it is naturally related to Wu Guogong's words.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he was begging himself with a needle, did he have any other intentions.

Chu Liuyan had some doubts in his heart, so he glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, but was surprised to find that Zhu Yuanzhang had a worried face, and was sitting on it without a sound with his eyes down, and his thick eyebrows had already been twisted into a Sichuan shape, so it seemed that there must be many difficult things in his heart.

But for a while, Chu Liuyan couldn't speculate, but vaguely felt that it might be related to the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang to attack Yingtian.

Chu Liuyan opened his mouth and asked the spies: "Why did the Han army's sailors dispatch without warning, why did you wait for this time to come to report." Moreover, this time, the Han army sailors came too few warships, how many men and horses they brought, and who was the commander. You can find out if you're snooping. ”

The spy soldier was slightly stunned and said: "Don't hide it from the Chu military division, there was a heavy fog yesterday night, and the river is still covered by a thick fog until this morning. We are also powerless. It wasn't until an hour or so before the fog cleared a little, and we were able to see what happened. Since it was what the Chu military master asked, we were not very clear. ”

Chu Liuyan was surprised and asked: "Could it be that you don't know anything about the attack of the Han army's sailors this time, you are a probe in the army, why can't you even find out about such things." ”

When the scout soldiers heard Chu Junshi's question, their faces turned red, and they couldn't help lowering their eyes, and said in a low voice: "Chu Junshi blames, but it's not that my brothers are unwilling to do their best, it's just that the warships of the Han Army's naval division are too powerful, and once the ships sent out to spy in our army are discovered by the Han Army's naval division under the command of Han King Chen Youliang, they will almost never escape the fate of destruction." The last time I had some of my brothers died in front of my eyes. ”

Several other guards also raised their heads, looked at Chu Liuyan fixedly, and said: "Military division, it's really not that we don't want to spy on it, it's just that the enemy's warships are too powerful, and they really can't get close." ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this person say this, he felt a lot of regret in his heart, and secretly blamed himself for saying too much inferiorly, and almost forced the generals and soldiers in the army to step down.

But even so, Chu Liuyan still wanted to know more about the Han army sailors under the command of Han King Chen Youliang, so he changed his tone and asked the spies gently: "Fang Cai's words are too intense, and I hope you soldiers will be surprised." ”

Hearing Chu Liuyan's humble apology, the scouts who were a little excited were a little unexpected, and waved their hands at Chu Liuyan at a loss and said: "It's not my brothers, after all, it's our duty to spy on the enemy, and it's naturally my duty not to be able to find out." It is also natural for Chu Junshi to reproach us and others. ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, he smiled slightly, and then asked calmly: "How many warships did the Han army sailors under the command of Han King Chen Youliang dispatch this time, have you seen clearly?" ”

When the scouts asked, they hurriedly replied: "There is Lao Chu's military division, the enemy warships are swarming, and the river is full of the banner of the Han army's naval division under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, and it seems that there are at least two or three hundred warships, and the number of the rest of the small ships is not clear, but it will definitely not be less than the number of hundreds." ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, he was greatly surprised in his heart, some time ago, the number of large and small ships dispatched by the Han army was only about three hundred, but he didn't expect that Chen Youliang would actually spend such a big amount of money this time, could it be that Chen Youliang was desperate to capture Yingtian City in one fell swoop.

Chu Liuyan was thinking to himself, but suddenly heard a "oops" sound of surprise.

When I looked up, I found that it was really Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guogong, who made the sound.

Since the last battle of Longwan defeated the Han army under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang, the Ying Tianshui division and the Han army under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang have fought more than ten times, but none of them can defeat the opponent.

The battle of Longwan defeated the opponent, and Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that he had burned countless warships of the other side, as if he was in a different world, and this was a special warship created by the Han army sailors under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty.

Every time he engages with this kind of monster battleship, Ying Tian's sailors are all defeated, allowing them to rampage within their own sailor lines, and they are not beaten by the opponent once, and they have no backhand power.

So much so that later, once they saw the Han army sailors under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang driving this kind of big ship, some of the Yingtian sailor generals did not dare to come forward to engage in the battle, and often automatically evacuated the warship and returned to their own water village, and then hung up the battle exemption card, allowing the Han army sailors under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang, who followed and pursued, to insult the Han army on the warship, and did not dare to go out of the village to fight.

If you don't have the courage to fight, then only the Han army sailors under the command of Han King Chen Youliang will challenge loudly outside, and Yingtian's sailors can only cower in the defensive and strong water villages.

At the beginning, the generals in the naval division were also angry, and took some subordinate sailors to drive the warships out of the village to meet the battle, but every time they engaged in battle, they let the Han army sailors under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, fight the flowers and water, defeated and returned, and the rest of the generals in the army saw that it was not good, and rushed out to protect the generals and officers and soldiers who went to the battle to pick them up.

The Han army sailors under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty, knew that the artillery fire in the water village was powerful, and they should not be too close, and after chasing for a while, they also let go of Yingtian's sailors, and only insulted themselves on their own warships.

After such an incident happened a few times, the generals of the Ying Tianshui Division were afraid of the battle with the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty, and often had not yet engaged the other party, and they could no longer hold back their positions, and fled one after another.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew all about these situations, and in the conversation between Ping Su and the generals of the navy, he also knew that the new warships controlled by the navy division under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang were extremely powerful.

Every time he came back from the water division, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, would sigh and sigh, and he didn't think about tea and dinner.

Ma Xiuying and Xu Biyi sometimes ask Zhu Yuanzhang why he is so worried, Zhu Yuanzhang told the truth, Ma Xiuying and Xu Biyi have no other way but to be attentive to their diet and daily life, and they want Zhu Yuanzhang to forget these worries.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's situation is getting worse and worse, and they all say that they think about it every day and dream at night. Several times Zhu Yuanzhang woke up from the nightmare of being defeated by the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, and after waking up, he already looked lost and depressed.

After a long time, the maids and servants in Wu Guogong's mansion also learned about it, and they all felt that although Wu Guogong was extremely beautiful in front of people, there were also some great fears in his heart that ordinary people could not bear.

Chu Liuyan naturally heard about it, so although Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction was a little strange, Chu Liuyan thought about it slightly, and naturally understood the truth.

After figuring out this, Chu Liuyan's heart suddenly flashed with inspiration, the Han army sailors under the command of Han King Chen Youliang were attacking now, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, was afraid of being like this.

This is a good opportunity to take the opportunity to persuade Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang not to take a break from Xu Biyi, Chu Liuyan thought for a while, and then said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Wu Guogong, looking at the posture of the Han army's sailors, it seems that they are pouring out, and it seems that there must be a vicious fight this time." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised that the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang came so quickly, and this time, it was unusual, and he actually sent so many warships, obviously the good ones did not come, and the good ones did not come.

Han King Chen Youliang must have no good intentions, this time may be just as Chu Liuyan said, without a fierce battle, I am afraid that the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang will not retreat easily.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought that the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang actually quietly hid outside Yingtian City under the cover of the fog, so he wanted to take this opportunity to sneak attack Yingtian's water village.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nod at Chu Liuyan, even if he said: "Chu Junshi, you see that this time, the Han Army Sailors under the command of Han King Chen Youliang poured out of the nest and came in a big way, the picture is not small, will it be aimed at our Yingtian Sailor Camp." ”

Chu Liuyan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and secretly thought to himself, feeling that the defense of Yingtian's water village was extremely strong, and several iron locks with the thickness of the bowl mouth specially built by Yingtian's skilled craftsmen were recruited on the river, and if the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang wanted to attack the water village, it seemed to be an unlikely thing.

What's more, the Sailor Water Village outside Yingtian City has been operating for many years, and there are many batteries on the shore, which are enough to suppress the firepower of the opponent's ships, so it is naturally not a problem to control the situation.

With the treachery of Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty, he may not be willing to come so hard and blatantly attack the water village of the Han army. Although it is not impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to be concerned, it seems that at the moment, it is still impossible to conclude with him. However, based on Chu Liuyan's understanding of Chen Youliang, he felt that Chen Youliang, the king of Han, might not act like this.

Shortening oneself and hitting the other party's strengths is by no means the ordinary style of Han King Chen Youliang.

Chu Liuyan thought about it for a while, and had already vetoed Zhu Yuanzhang's method in his heart, but Chu Liuyan felt that it was precisely to take advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's worries to add a fire, and to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang not to take a break Xu Biyi's matter in the opening of his mouth to think about Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang said a thing or two, hoping to take this opportunity to return to heaven in a few words.

After settling down slightly, and after thinking about the rhetoric in his heart, Chu Liuyan said: "Wu Guogong, the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang is attacking in a big way, and the current situation is irreversible, but Liuyan also feels that what Wu Guogong said is not impossible, if our army's water village is captured by the Han army, then it will not be able to compete with the Han army's sailors in the future, Ying Tiancheng will inevitably fall into the hands of the Han King Chen Youliang, and he can't move, even if he wants to counterattack, there is no possibility, so he can only sit and wait for death." ”

Chu Liuyan's touching remarks naturally made Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already a little anxious, more and more frightened, no matter what, Zhu Yuanzhang always felt that if the Han army sailors under the command of Han King Chen Youliang broke through Yingtian's sailor camp, Yingtian would be ready to go down.

It was as if Chen Youliang, the king of Han, was holding a sharp sword in his hand and holding it across his throat. Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang felt dry and extremely uncomfortable for a while.

"Chu Junshi, how is this good, don't let the Han army sailors under the command of Han King Chen Youliang easily seize the camp of Ying Tianshui Division, if so, wouldn't I give up my Ying Tian to Han King Chen Youliang that treacherous dog thief." Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious in his heart, and he hated the ill-intentioned Han King Chen Youliang very much, so when he talked about the Han King Chen Youliang, he was crowned with the word dog thief.

Chu Liuyan cleared his throat and said to Zhu Yuanzhang unhurriedly: "Wu Guogong, Chen Youliang has been fishing for generations, and he often jokingly said to his subordinate generals that he is a fisherman, and he is naturally deep in the water. This time, I was able to take advantage of last night's fog and sneak to a place so close to Yingtian, I am afraid that the plot must be not small, and the only way to do it now is to ask Marshal Xu Da to transfer troops to rescue him, so that the Yingtianshui Division camp can be guaranteed. ”

Rushed to the doctor for a sudden illness, and Zhu Yuanzhang had no other way to think about it in such a situation, so he naturally felt that this was the only way to protect the thoughtfulness of Yingtian's sailor camp. Only after repelling the attack of the Han army under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang could he try to deal with other things.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly said to a few spies in the house: "You wait to pick out a few fast horses from my mansion, and immediately rush to Marshal Xu Da's camp, so that Marshal Xu Da will immediately send troops to rescue." ”

The spy soldiers listened to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guogong, and did not dare to slack off, so they all agreed and quickly retreated. After finding a few good horses, he immediately whipped away and went straight to Marshal Xu Da's camp to move the rescue troops.

After Zhu Yuanzhang took care of this matter, Chu Liuyan saw that there was no one else in the room, so he opened his mouth and said pleadingly: "Wu Guogong mourns, the current situation is critical, if there is any change in Marshal Xu Da's army, it may be very unfavorable to the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty, and I hope that Wu Guogong will look at Marshal Xu Da's face, and let go of Biyi's sister for the time being, don't leave poor Biyi's sister." In this way, all things will be ensured. ”

Chu Liuyan deliberately accentuated the last sentence.

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned, and immediately came to his senses, thought for a moment and then said: "Since the Chu military division pleaded for Xu Biyi so much, the national prince also agreed to the Chu military division, and Xu Biyi will not stop." ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, he was very happy, knowing that this matter could be like this, and he could be regarded as living up to Xu Da's trust.
