Zhu Yuanzhang complained to Li Shanchang in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that Li Shanchang couldn't even resist a few words from Chu Liuyan, and retreated in defeat, but turned around and helped Chu Liuyan to persuade himself to release Xu Da.

It's really not enough to succeed, and more than enough to fail. Zhu Yuanzhang secretly slandered Li Shanchang in his heart.

Li Shanchang knew that he had failed Zhu Yuanzhang's trust, and he didn't dare to look at Zhu Yuanzhang, but he retreated to the side and stopped talking.

Chu Liuyan knew that these Wu Guogongs must have weighed the current situation in their hearts, and wanted to know how long their side would still have a chance of winning if Xu Da was not released and let Xu Da return to the old army to face the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang, or how long would he still be able to resist the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang.

Chu Liuyan didn't say anything, he wanted to leave it to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, to think about the pros and cons, and think about himself, if Zhu Yuanzhang of the Duke of Wu didn't act like this, I am afraid that he would not be able to defend Yingtian City in the future.

Regarding this point, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, also knows very well, it should be that the current situation is that the generals under his most capable of fighting, General Chang Yuchun and General Tang He, cannot resist the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang, so naturally there is no way to continue to resist the increasingly powerful offensive of the Han army.

If the front is lost, the most likely thing is naturally that the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, broke through the defense line of Yingtian's army and attacked under Yingtian City.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang is still worried about one thing in his heart, that is, whether the hundreds of thousands of Chuzhou soldiers and horses outside Yingtian City will rebel, and if Xu Da is really released, what will happen in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang is still unsure.

If the general of Chuzhou was angry, he took refuge under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, and in turn joined forces with the other party to fight back, things would not be good.

Ying Tiancheng had already dispatched most of the elite to follow General Chang Yuchun and General Tang He to fight against the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang, and most of the remaining defenses were old and weak soldiers, and there was no way to resist the combined attack of the Chuzhou soldiers and horses and the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang.

Zhu Yuanzhang still has this knowledge, and Zhu Yuanzhang is most worried about this matter.

However, in any case, the top priority at the moment is to first resist the attack of the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, on Chang Yuchun and Tang He, if Chang Yuchun and Tang He and the two generals return from defeat and flee into the city, then the soldiers and civilians in the entire Yingtian City have to sit and wait for death.

Seeing through this, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that he had to consider the release of Xu Da, if Chang Yuchun was defeated, it would definitely be a big blow to the morale of the army.

In any case, over the years, Chang Yuchun has followed him to fight in the north and south, and has fought hard battles and bloody battles, but he has hardly tasted defeat, so that once the enemy army saw Chang Yuchun's banner, he was invincible and fled in defeat.

The name of General Chang Yuchun and General Chang Sheng is also in the battles of blood and fire, the louder and louder they are, and finally they almost become an invincible and iconic figure in the Yingtian army.

What's even more terrifying is that Chang Yuchun is not only brave in battle, but also has a penchant for killing and surrendering, and has killed many enemy soldiers one after another, so that when the enemy army hears the name of Chang Yuchun, it is like hearing the name of the devil, trembling and terrified.

In this way, Chang Yuchun is naturally famous. There were also people who were not convinced, but after fighting with the army led by Chang Yuchun, they were naturally convinced.

Chang Yuchun's fame became more and more famous, and naturally he quickly overshadowed Xu Da, a general in Yingtian's army.

However, there are still people in the army who can compete with Chang Yuchun, Xu Dazhi is far-reaching, and he also has a set of leading troops to fight, and the soldiers under his command are also excellent.

If a person in the army throws himself into Chang Yuchun's subordinates, although he fights desperately, he can also gain fame, but after all, it depends on his personal ability.

If you are under the command of General Xu Da, as long as you obey General Xu Da's orders, you can be invincible and invincible, and you don't have to fight hard all the time, and the chance of casualties in the battle array is much smaller.

It is because many soldiers hope that they can be transferred to the command of General Xu Da, not only are they not worried about their lives, but they also make meritorious contributions quickly, such a wonderful thing, who will not be moved by the soldiers.

In this way, a large number of soldiers in the drama series under Xu Da's command, many of whom came to take refuge in admiration of Xu Da's prestige.

Xu Da is really powerful, and he doesn't distinguish between each other, and accepts all the people who come to take refuge, but after accepting and taking them in, the next thing these people have to face is an unusually strict training.

Zhu Yuanzhang also has a deep understanding of this point.

Once again, Zhu Yuanzhang took tens of thousands of soldiers under his command to march overnight and came to a valley, Zhu Yuanzhang took the stage to give a lecture, but it rained heavily halfway, and many soldiers under the command of Yingtian generals couldn't bear it, and they kept shaking, only Xu Da's many soldiers were not unusual, and their faces were as usual in the pouring rain, and they listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's lecture without changing their faces.

For that incident, Zhu Yuanzhang still remembers it deeply in his heart, and he is also deeply impressed.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that Xu Da would have such a means to be able to train the soldiers under his command into an iron army.

From a certain point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion of Xu Da also started from the outstanding performance of the soldiers under Xu Da's command in that valley lecture.

Zhu Yuanzhang is very taboo about this kind of thing, and he is afraid that it will cause a situation that will not be lost in the future.

Sending Xu Da to Chuzhou to carry out the murder of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, although it was the proposal of others, but Zhu Yuanzhang also had his own special intentions in his heart, and wanted to take this opportunity to clean up Xu Da and humiliate Xu Da, if possible, he might as well get rid of this Yingtian general who is very likely to pose a threat to himself.

Even if it is a brother, in the face of this competition for power and interests, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally does not want a powerful person to come out of his side that threatens his power, no matter how deep this person's friendship with him is.

Power is like alcohol, and the more Zhu Yuanzhang indulges in it, the more he can realize it. The taste (for harmony) to the mellow and charming place in between.

Some people say that power is like a tiger, and one day those who are obsessed with power will always be swallowed up by power.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard these words, he really didn't think so. Even if the power is a tiger, Zhu Yuanzhang has a way to skin it, draw its tendons, take out the bones, and concoct a jar of fine wine.

Since becoming Wu Guogong, Zhu Yuanzhang's ambition for power has become stronger and stronger.

Whether it was Xu Da or Xiao Ming King Han Lin'er or Han King Chen Youliang or anyone else, Zhu Yuanzhang would never allow others to become a stumbling block on his way to the top.

Even if these people really become stumbling blocks on Zhu Yuanzhang's road to Dabao, Zhu Yuanzhang will turn them into stepping stones one by one, and there is nothing else.

Although Chu Liuyan was aware of the changes in Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament, he didn't expect that the strong desire for power had already transformed Zhu Yuanzhang into another person.

If Chu Liuyan had already known about these things that day, he would definitely not let Xu Da obey Zhu Yuanzhang's orders and go to Yingtian to do that extraordinary thing.

From now on, I am afraid that no one will be able to understand Zhu Yuanzhang's mind so well.

Zhu Yuanzhang's transformation is too powerful, so many years of experience in blood and fire have long made the soft heart of benevolence and righteousness that remains in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart of Wu Guogong become hard and abnormal.

Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer the Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang that Chu Liuyan originally had in mind.

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is like a deep stone well, it is no longer Chu Liuyan, but it is speculative and clear.

However, Chu Liuyan was still not aware of these things, and still regarded Zhu Yuanzhang at this time as the Zhu Yuanzhang he first knew, but he just felt that Zhu Yuanzhang sometimes became unscrupulous, which was also an expedient measure.

In Chu Liuyan's mind, he always thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was still the green-skinned little scoundrel who knew him when he was a child, although he was sometimes a little ruthless and unreasonable, but there was no lack of benevolence and righteousness.

Chu Liuyan admonished Zhu Yuanzhang with some emotion: "Wu Guogong, no matter how you say it, General Xu Da is your brother with a different surname, if Wu Guogong really wants to kill General Xu Da, I'm afraid that many generals in the army will be chilled." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced up at Chu Liuyan, and said slowly: "Master Chu, it's not that you don't know the current situation, it's not that the Duke wants to deal with General Xu Da, but now the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, has also attacked outside Yingtian City. Ying Tian's army cannot afford the slightest mistake, once there is any flaw or loophole, then it is very likely that we have not yet understood what is going on, so we let the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang attack Ying Tian City. ”

Chu Liuyan was stunned for a moment, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "What is Wu Guogong talking about, Chu Liuyan is stupid and can't understand what Wu Guogong said. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Originally, my lord was reluctant to tell Chu Junshi about this matter, but since Chu Junshi insisted on asking, then my lord had no choice but to tell the truth." Don't hide it from the Chu military division, the last time I discussed General Xu Da with General Lianchengjue in Chuzhou, General Lianchengjue sent a secret letter saying that as long as General Xu Da was executed, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Chuzhou would immediately vote to their own country. ”

Chu Liuyan hurriedly asked: "If Wu Guogong doesn't agree to this condition, what will happen to the soldiers and horses in Chuzhou." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly sighed and said: "The secret letter jointly issued by the Chuzhou soldiers and horses to the Duke of China said that if the Duke of China has no intention of doing this, then in the future, he will not owe anything to the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou, and he will break off his righteousness." From now on, the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou will retreat from Chuzhou, and they will definitely not come to the aid of Yingtian. Moreover, the letter also said that good birds choose trees to perch, and the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou will naturally decide where they belong in the future after waiting and watching the situation. ”

"It makes no sense. These soldiers and barbarians in Chuzhou are really too hateful, aren't they falling into the ground. The good-natured Chu Liuyan couldn't help but say angrily, although Chu Liuyan still had some doubts about whether the generals of Chuzhou had such a secret letter, but since it was Zhu Yuanzhang himself, there was naturally no doubt.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard Chu Liuyan's angry words, he looked at Chu Liuyan's face again, and already knew that the temptation he had just thrown out had worked, so he echoed and said: "This is exactly where the Duke of China hesitates, General Xu Da is my good brother, but the lives of many soldiers and civilians in Yingtian City are also related to the Duke of China." If the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou blatantly disregarded, not only did they not help us resist the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang, but also took refuge in the Han King Chen Youliang, at that time, even if the Duke of China had three heads and six arms, there was no way to resist the front and rear attacks of the two armies, and the Duke of China would naturally have to think carefully about such a situation, otherwise, where would the lives of so many soldiers and civilians inside and outside the Heavenly City be. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help lowering his eyes and dripping a few round teardrops.

"The Duke of China is also forced to do so, and I don't know if the division of the Chu Army and the soldiers in the army will be able to understand the hardships and hidden pains of the Duke of China."

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's words became more and more muffled, and Chu Liuyan and the generals under General Xu Da who heard these words were also miserable.

Such a heavy responsibility and hardship fall on one person, and it is naturally extremely difficult to bear.

Chu Liuyan was naturally extremely shocked in her heart, she didn't expect that the generals in Chuzhou seemed to be dull, but it was really impressive to do things, such a secret was simply General Xu Da's life-saving talisman, fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, still maintained this state of mind, and had not yet made up his mind how to act.

Otherwise, maybe Xu Da would have been beheaded by Wu Guogong's order to show the public, and Xu Da's head was also sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to the camp of the soldiers in Chuzhou, and sent to hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Chuzhou to pay tribute to the spirit of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming.

Chu Liuyan secretly rejoiced, fortunately rushed to the front, and now Zhu Yuanzhang has revealed this matter, at least it shows that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to discuss this matter with him.

This also shows that Zhu Yuanzhang is still hesitant in his heart and has not yet made up his mind.

No matter what the matter is, at least Xu Da's life is still worry-free for now, and he can also try to move Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, to release General Xu Dahe.

The current top priority is how to resist the attack of the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang, Chu Liuyan thought of this, and suddenly a thought occurred in his heart.

After hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang, the other Duke of Wu Guogong, said these words, the generals of Chuzhou also felt that the generals of Chuzhou had gone too far, not only to intimidate Wu Guogong by taking advantage of the danger of others, but also to rebel.

The soldiers and horses in Chuzhou were so ignorant of lifting, and the generals under Xu Da's command were naturally extremely angry.

The generals under Xu Da's command also remember the last time the Chuzhou generals came to make trouble.

A few of the more anxious generals under Xu Da couldn't help it, so they shouted: "Aren't the generals of Chuzhou all Liu Futong's subordinates, what a heroic hero General Liu is, it is really despicable to have these talents under his command." One of the generals spoke first.

"That's right, the generals of Chuzhou have been defeated by the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang last year over the years, and they have cowered in the city, or we have followed General Xu Da to solve the siege, I didn't expect these Wang Balamb to have no good intentions at all, and the scar forgot to say that it hurts, and now for their life-saving benefactor, General Xu Da pulled out his sword against each other, it is really annoying and hateful, I knew that today, Lao Tzu would not have to be so desperate to save these unrighteous people."

As soon as the general finished speaking, someone said: "At that time, the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, attacked so badly, if there was no rescue from us, I am afraid that these Chuzhou generals would have gone to see the king of Hades a long time ago. If there is a regret medicine to sell, Lao Tzu will definitely not save these ungrateful eight lambs. ”

The generals under Xu Da's command began to denounce the Chuzhou generals in the signing room in the mansion of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, but some of the guards standing outside were extremely worried, for fear that these brave generals who did not know what to do would be unfavorable to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu.

However, after listening to it for a while, the spearheads of these people were all aimed at the Chuzhou generals, and none of them had anything disrespectful to Wu Guogong.

The guards outside the room all breathed a sigh of relief, as long as these people would not be unfavorable to Wu Guogong, then it was up to them, the task of the guards was only to protect Wu Guogong's thoughtfulness, and the rest of the guards could not be managed, and they did not have the ability to take care of it.

In fact, the generals under Xu Da's command all thought that Wu Guogong and Zhu Yuanzhang were forced to be helpless, so they didn't blame Wu Guogong, but they just felt that those Chuzhou generals were too unbearable, and they actually exerted so much pressure on Zhu Yuanzhang at this juncture.

It is really a matter of common anger between people and gods, and the generals under Xu Da all have resentment in the hearts of the Chuzhou generals.

No matter what, Zhu Yuanzhang just listened quietly, knowing in his heart that the generals under Xu Da did not have the slightest dissatisfaction with him, and the disobedience of these people last time did not seem to have any special meaning from today, just simply wanted to rescue General Xu Da.

Since these generals have such thoughts in their hearts, it is also extremely easy to control and influence, Zhu Yuanzhang is happy in his heart, these generals under Xu Da are the most powerful combat power in the army, if these generals are lost, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness of Yingtian's army will be greatly reduced.

As long as the many generals under Xu Da's command are not deliberately rebellious and disobedient, then there is no need to be careful that these people will be unfavorable to them.
