Chapter 110: Losing ground

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he casually handed the letterhead to Li Shanchang, who took it and quickly read it. He quickly said to the generals: "King Xiao Ming sent 7,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry to help Yingtian in the battle, but King Xiao Ming said in the letter that he wanted the two armies to be mixed and form another army. And we must place our soldiers under one person, and only obey the orders of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming. ”

"What, Hejun."

"We are all under the command of Wu Guogong, why do you want us to obey the orders of King Xiao Ming."

"It's too deceitful."

The generals talked a lot, but they didn't take this letter from King Xiao Ming as a matter of course.

Chang Yuchun was reckless, and rushed out and said: "Wu Guogong, this King Xiao Ming is too ignorant to lift, so it is not that Wu Guogong ordered me to wait to relieve the siege, King Xiao Ming was killed by Chen Youliang's subordinates last time, where is there still life." But now he is good, and in turn, he will be rewarded and will take away the military power of Wu Guogong. ”

Chu Liuyan hurriedly stepped forward to stop Chang Yuchun and said: "General Chang, don't make a noise, if this word reaches the ears of King Xiao Ming, it will be a great disadvantage to Duke Wuguo." ”

Chang Yuchun saw Chu Liuyan's persuasion, but he became even more energetic, pointing to the letterhead in Li Shanchang's hand and saying to Chu Liuyan: "Chu military, I am not talking nonsense, you see that people are forced to our door, in my opinion, it is better to let me lead the soldiers in the army to destroy the 10,000 horses sent by King Xiao Ming first, and then kill it, and take back the rabbit cub of King Xiao Ming to the Duke of Wuguo, and wait for the fate." ”

When Tang He heard Chang Yuchun say this, he also encouraged him vigorously beside him: "What General Chang said is true, but I don't think there is any need to arrest King Xiao Ming, but I cut this person with a knife, and it will come neatly." ”

Saying that, Tang He pouted this Chang Yuchun and ran outside.

"I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it." Xu Da hurriedly stopped in front of Chang Yuchun and Tang He and said: "The two generals should be calm and impatient, and they must not act recklessly, and they should listen to everyone's opinions before acting." ”

"Bird, if you wait for us to come up with a way after we finish discussing, it is estimated that King Xiaoming's troops will be killed under my old nose, and General Xu doesn't have to stop me." Chang Yuchun said very angrily.

"Often in spring, rest is nonsense." A majestic snort was remembered in the hall. "You hurry back to your seat."

When Chang Yuchun heard this, he knew that it was no country to speak publicly, so he had no choice but to walk back to his seat with Tang He.

Zhu Yuanzhang also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chang Yuchun and Tang He walking back to their seats, these two people are fierce generals in the army, if they really let them lead the troops out to kill the 10,000 horses of King Xiao Ming, it won't be a trouble. At least King Xiao Ming can't explain it anyway, King Xiao Ming kindly sent 10,000 horses to help, and killed 10,000 horses for no reason, which is unreasonable, but if you really hand over the right to command the army according to King Xiao Ming's intentions, Zhu Yuanzhang is also 10,000 unwilling, and he has worked hard and operated dismally for many years, so he has created such a team, how can he be willing to give it to others at once.

But Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it again, Guo Ziyi respected King Xiaoming's father as the head back then, and he and King Xiaoming were also nominal monarchs and ministers.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little regretful, regretted that he shouldn't be enthusiastic for a while, listened to Li Shanchang's opinion, and put this puppet King Xiaoming, who was originally placed in Chuzhou by himself, I don't know which nerve is wrong, and now he takes this opportunity to intervene sideways, and actually wants to take the opportunity to take away his military power, is it ridiculous to say that the puppet wants to come out and try his skills after being a long-time being.

By the way, Xu Da once mentioned to himself that there was a possibility of this situation, so is it really as Xu Da said, it was caused by the instigation of King Xiao Ming, this matter must be sent to investigate, if you can find out who is in front of King Xiao Ming to make suggestions, so that King Xiao Ming sent such a letterhead, find out this person, things will be much easier. As long as you buy this person with generous courtesy, let this person work for you, and say a few words beside King Xiao Ming, you can naturally return to heaven in a few words, and there is no need to make a big move.

Zhu Yuanzhang came up with a countermeasure in his heart, but he knew that the most important thing at the moment was how to deal with the 10,000 horses sent by King Xiao Ming. It is true that it is a faint move to send troops to exterminate according to the will of Chang Yuchun and Tang He, but if these people and horses are not restrained and allowed to be filled into the army, it is not a small force, if King Xiao Ming has a plan, these ten thousand people are not so easy to clean up, how can this be good.

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated, not knowing how to properly place the 10,000 horses sent by King Xiao Ming from Chuzhou, so he said to the ministers who were discussing below: "The princes will discuss first, how to deal with the matter of King Xiao Ming giving 10,000 horses to Yingtian, it is appropriate." ”

Li Shanchang knew that he had given Zhu Yuanzhang a bad idea, so that Wuguo Gong was not embarrassed to make this move of King Xiao Ming at the moment.

It was Li Shanchang who was eager to remedy the previous mistakes, and as soon as he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, he spoke urgently: "Wu Guogong, the matter has come to this, according to the minister, King Xiao Ming's side still has to be perfunctory, so let the people and horses from Chuzhou temporarily camp outside Yingtian City, that is, the ground in the city has not yet been vacated, and it is impossible to attract the army into it, so he can only choose a good place outside the city to camp." ”

"This technique is not appropriate," Li Shanchang's voice did not fall, Liu Bowen slowly stood up and said: "This time, it was Wu Guogong who invited King Xiao Ming to send troops to help, and refused Chen Youliang outside Yingtian City, north of the Yangtze River. If Wu Guogong turned away the teacher sent by Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, it would be unreasonable. ”

"Liu Bowen, what do you mean, is it possible that Wu Guogong personally went to the gate of Yingtian City to welcome these 10,000 horses in, and then let King Xiao Ming usurp the power to lead the army?"

"Li Junshi doesn't need to be angry, and I didn't say that I would let Wu Guogong personally go to Yingtian City to meet the army sent by King Xiao Ming, I mean it's better for me to go out of the city and get together with these 10,000 horses." Liu Bowen still said unhurriedly.

"If you join forces in one place, you can figure it out, if there is a dispute between the soldiers of our army and the soldiers of Chuzhou, what would it be?" Li Shanchang questioned.

Liu Bowen smiled and said: "Since you want to annex the other party, why be afraid of disputes, if the matter in the army can be solved with your fists, it is not a bad thing." Wu Guogong, I heard that the army of Chuzhou is under the command of the brave general General Liu Futong, if these soldiers can be sincerely surrendered and thrown into our army, our army will definitely be strengthened. ”
