Judging from the current situation, although there are one or two thousand soldiers and horses guarding Wu Guogong from Ying Tianlai, but the other party has four or five thousand people, if there is a dispute, and someone has the intention to provoke from it, deliberately causing trouble, I am afraid that there will be a dispute here today, and there is naturally no problem in protecting Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang, but the big and small officials in Ying Tiancheng are also here, if a few people are lost, the blow to Ying Tian will be great, and if the soldiers meet here, it is difficult to ensure that the friendly army will not become an enemy. If the soldiers and horses in Chuzhou mutinied and really became the enemy, then the situation in Yingtian would not be good.

Chu Liuyan thought like this in his heart, and felt that no matter what, he couldn't conflict with this person here, so he smiled and said to the general: "Since the general Wu Guogong is here to worship King Xiao Ming today, the general, as the old department of King Xiao Ming, should have come in to pay tribute to King Xiao Ming, so it is better to go in to pay tribute first." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang also regretted it in his heart when he heard this, as the saying goes, things are slow and round, how did he not think of this, if he can bring the Chuzhou general who is aggressive in front of him to the ancestral hall, and comfort him with kind words, if he can make this person change his mind, he can naturally end the matter, why bother thinking about how to deal with it outside.

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, he threw a grateful glance at Chu Liuyan, and then held the hand of the general of Chuzhou and said cordially: "General, how about you please come with me to worship King Xiao Ming?" ”

Chu Liuyan's words are reasonable, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, is warmly invited, this person also knows that if he makes a move to resist this matter on this occasion, he will inevitably be shamed, and even if he walks on the street in the future, someone will point to his backbone and secretly scold himself for being a disloyal and unfilial person, and no one can afford such a crime.

So this person's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "It should be like this, Wu Guogong doesn't need to remind me, I should also pay tribute to my lord King Xiao Ming first." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong was overjoyed when he heard this, so he took this person's hand, turned around and wanted to go to the ancestral hall, at this time, suddenly a Chuzhou general ran to him and shouted: "Big brother, why did you come, there are a few people in it clamoring for me and my colleagues to join Wu Guogong, I don't know how to deal with it, fortunately, big brother, you just rushed over." ”

When the man heard these unbridled words, he immediately rebuked him; "Old eight, don't talk so much, I'll talk about it when I go back, why don't you have a little look, don't you see that Wu Guocheng and I are going to worship King Xiao Ming."

The general who had just shouted heard the scolding, lowered his head and turned to the back of this person.

"Wu Guogong smiled, most of the generals in Chuzhou are rough people, and there are many literati and scholars, scholars and Confucian generals under the account of Wu Guogong."

Wu Guogong smiled and said: "It's okay, I heard that General Liu Futong likes fierce generals who don't know a single big character, so there are countless brave generals under the account, although the general is rude and reckless, he must also be a fierce general who is as strong as ten thousand people." ”

The person behind him heard Wu Guogong's exaggeration, and said without shame: "That's natural, among the generals in Chuzhou, although my martial arts are not the first, but they are also in the top five, and they are real, such as fake." ”

Hearing this, Chu Liuyan behind Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but laugh out, and Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing, but finally covered up the smile.

As he spoke, several generals came over to greet this person, and then obediently followed behind this person, accompanying him step by step.

Chu Liuyan couldn't help but be secretly shocked, it seems that his impression of this person is really right, this person is definitely not a general person among the generals in Chuzhou, just look at the attitude of those generals below.

Therefore, Chu Liuyan got closer, hoping to hear this person's words clearly, and to guess why this person is acting like this today.

Wu Guogong only now knew that he was going to kill Xu Da's person, and his identity among the Chuzhou generals was quite noble, so many Chuzhou generals were so respectful and obedient to this person, which also made Zhu Yuanzhang know that this person must be an important figure among the Chuzhou generals, if he could make this person take the lead in joining his command, he would definitely be able to deter the rest of the Chuzhou generals and receive twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, diligently held this person's hand all the way, and asked affectionately: "I don't know the surname of the general, where is the fairy town?" ”

As soon as the man saw Wu Guogong so bent corporal, he couldn't help but have an expectation for Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong in his heart, and when he heard such a question, he replied humbly: "The last general is exempt from your surname Lian, the word city is a native of Chuzhou, and he followed General Liu Futong in his early years, and after Liu Futong died, he turned to follow King Xiaoming." Unexpectedly, King Xiao Ming died suddenly in Jiangzhong, and persuaded Wu Guogong to kill General Xu Da, but also thought of the old master, and only hoped to be able to do his part for King Xiao Ming. ”

"The general's heart is the same as mine, my lord is here today for King Xiao Ming to set up a spiritual seat, prepared a coffin, although the bones of King Xiao Ming can not be found, can only be temporarily replaced by King Xiao Ming's clothes, so this is also to comfort the Lord's spirit in the sky, do his duty as a courtier. If the remains of King Xiao Ming can be found in the future, King Xiao Ming will definitely be buried. Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang said with a sigh.

After listening to Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Lian Chengjue sighed, then turned his face to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "If Wu Guogong really has the heart to bury King Xiao Ming, now he should kill Xu Da first to comfort King Xiao Ming's spirit in the sky." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was silent for a while and had no words.

Chu Liuyan couldn't help it, and said to the Chuzhou general Lian Chengjue in the back: "General Lian, why are you unwilling to let go of General Xu Da, General Xu Da personally went to Chuzhou to welcome King Xiao Ming, and he served him wholeheartedly on the road. How can such an irreparable manpower be blamed on General Xu Da alone. ”

Liu Bowen heard Chu Liuyan say this, and also took a few steps forward and said: "After King Xiao Ming's boat capsized, General Xu Da also jumped into the water several times to try to rescue King Xiao Ming, but at that time, the wind and waves were high and the waves were in vain. General Xu Da bravely rescued him, so that he ran out of strength, and was almost swept into the river by the wind and waves, and could not be resurrected. These things are all seen with their own eyes by the soldiers of the two armies who accompanied them, and there are credible things for all to see, how can it be asserted that the death of King Xiao Ming must have something to do with General Xu Da. ”

Lian Chengjue knew that if he couldn't, if he insisted on blaming Xu Da for the death of King Xiao Ming, for example, no one wanted to listen to it, so he said to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu: "Wu Guogong, I didn't insist that General Xu Da was the murderer of King Xiao Ming, but I just thought that General Xu Da was sent by Wu Guogong and went to Chuzhou to welcome King Xiao Ming to Yingtian, and he should have been responsible for the safety of King Xiao Ming. It is also a matter of course to kill him and sacrifice the spirit of King Xiao Ming in the sky. ”

As soon as Lian Chengjue's words came out, Chu Liuyan asked angrily: "Even the general also admits that the death of King Xiao Ming is a natural disaster, General Xu Da only has poor protection, and there are only rules in the army, how can he use this small mistake to convict the big crime of killing the head, if so, what if the army commits a big crime in the future." ”

Chu Liuyan's reasonable refutation made Liancheng Jue's marksmanship chaotic, and he said with some annoyance: "No matter how Chu Junshi defends General Xu Da, I think I see that General Xu Da always has to die to apologize."

"Apologize for the crime with death, what is the crime of the snake, General Lian threw out such a big hat as if he wanted to take all the blame on General Xu Da, I just don't know what this kind of thing involves General Lian, why General Lian keeps saying that he wants to put General Xu Da to death." Chu Liuyan still asked unrelentingly.
