After Zhu Yuanzhang and Chu Liuyan invited Xu Da out, Chu Liuyan followed Xu Da to the military camp outside Yingtian City to meet Chang Yuchun. And Chang Yuchun, who had just suffered a defeat, was very distressed that he couldn't deal with Chen Youliang's sailor, and he was naturally overjoyed when he saw Xu Da.

After Xu Da, Chu Liuyan and Chang Yuchun combined, they really came up with a way, and when they fought with Chen Youliang again, they defeated Chen Youliang once, and annihilated more than 500 Han troops in total. Such a small war does not matter whether it is successful or failed in peacetime. Today, however, it is markedly different.

It won when Zhu Yuanzhang's army was once defeated and the Han army was invincible. At this moment, Chen Youliang's army is a condensed military spirit, while Chang Yuchun's side is a military spirit collapse. At this time, Xu Da returned to the camp and immediately gave the Han army a heavy blow, which was naturally extraordinary. This has played an extremely important role in boosting the morale of the army and boosting the confidence of the officers and men.

On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang was in Yingtian City, waiting and watching the situation develop. When he heard that as soon as Xu Da came back, he defeated Chen Youliang once, and he couldn't help but be half surprised and half happy. What he panicked was that a first-class general like Chang Yuchun had been defeated continuously, but as soon as Xu Da came back, he could immediately turn the tide of the battle. Xu Da is a person who really has tens of millions of soldiers in his chest, and his ability cannot be underestimated. And the good thing is that for a long time, he Zhu Yuanzhang has not had a way to deal with Chen Youliang's battleship, and has been bullied by Chen Youliang and can't raise his head, and now he has finally won a battle, although it is small, but it is enough to boost morale.

This incident made Zhu Yuanzhang's respect for Xu Da a little deeper. However, at the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang's taboo against Xu Da also deepened a little.

After this small victory, the two armies fell into a state of confrontation again. Although Xu Dashi won the game with a subterfuge, he was never able to crack the secret of the Han army's warship. After this small defeat, Chen Youliang felt that Xu Da was an unbreakable myth, and his scruples about him deepened a little more, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang was racking his brains about the matter of the Han army's warships, but he heard that Li Shanchang invited him to drink. Li Shanchang is cautious, and rarely invites Zhu Yuanzhang to his mansion on weekdays, no matter what happens, most of them come to see Zhu Yuanzhang. Now that things are different, Zhu Yuanzhang can't help but feel rare.

He was at a loss for what to do, and he was full of sorrow, so he also accepted Li Shanchang. Today, Zhu Yuanzhang occupies Yingtian City, and his generals all have their own mansions. Li Shanchang's mansion is not far from Zhu Yuanzhang's camp. Compared with the mansions of other soldiers, Li Shanchang's mansion has blue bricks and green tiles, which is particularly simple. What amazed Zhu Yuanzhang the most was that in the courtyard of Li Shanchang's mansion, a piece of land was actually opened, and all kinds of vegetables were planted in the vegetable bed.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "The mansion of the military advisor is really different from others. This small vegetable is also elegant. Zhu Yuanzhang said as he squinted at Li Shanchang with his eyes.

Li Shanchang hurriedly bowed down and said, "Qi Wu Guogong, my subordinates feel that such a large courtyard is a waste. Rather than this, it is better to grow vegetables and supply them to soldiers on weekdays. The soldiers won a decisive victory, and they could dedicate a little effort to them, and their subordinates were also satisfied. ”

Listening to these words in Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, he was very pleasing to the ear, and he smiled: "The soldiers can win a decisive victory for thousands of miles, and it also depends on the gentlemen's strategy." Sir would not be modest. While chatting, Li Shanchang had already accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang into the room.

After Zhu Yuanzhang took his seat, he said with a smile: "The military advisor has never invited his own government to come to the military advisor's house on weekdays, but I don't know what I invited me to come today, but for what?" ”

Li Shanchang replied respectfully: "Qi Guogong, today is the 40th birthday of his subordinates, so I specially invited Guogong to come and drink and have fun." Time urges people to grow old, and unconsciously, the benevolent chief has been following Guogong for many years. Therefore, on the occasion of the birth of his subordinates, he specially invited the prince of the country. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized. He remembered that Li Shanchang followed him as a hooligan in the county in the past, and later followed him to join Guo Zixing, and then accompanied him to fight the world, and came up with countless good ideas for him.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "In this case, my country's public first congratulated the military division on his birthday." Please-" Zhu Yuanzhang said, and he drank it all in his hand.

"Please—" Li Shanchang also took a drink from his glass.

So, the two of them drank for a while. After three rounds of drinking, people are a little unconscious. Li Shanchang's sleepy eyes were hazy, and he said, "Wu Guogong, Wu Guogong, I know you still have ...... There's something hidden in my heart that I can't unravel, I know, hahaha......"

"Since the military advisor knows, he might as well speak up and listen to it." Although Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little dizzy, he was not as drunk as Li Shanchang. Still holding his wine glass steadily, he asked, "Okay, since the military advisor said he knew, you just said it." ”

Li Shanchang nodded vigorously and said, "Now the national justice is doing his best to how to break Chen Youliang's warship. In fact, Guogong doesn't need to worry too much. Before, the battleship could not be broken, and there was no one in my Wu country, but now Guogong can actually invite Marshal Xu Da Xu Da out to deal with Chen Youliang. With Marshal Xu's ingenuity, there is nothing in the world that he can't solve. Guogong might as well let Marshal Xu Da do it. His subordinates believed that as long as Marshal Xu Da was there, it would be a matter of time before he captured Chen Youliang's battleship army. “

Li Shanchang said bad things about Xu Da in front of Zhu Yuanzhang on weekdays, but Zhu Yuanzhang might not be able to listen to it. Today, the situation is a little different.

First, as soon as Xu Da returned to the army, the army that had been defeated won the battle. And Xu Da's prestige is also thriving. Xu Da has almost become a well-deserved number one general in the world, and in the minds of many people, Xu Da is a figure like a god. The soldiers were convinced and loyal to him. This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel very uncomfortable.

Second, the soldiers had repeatedly made trouble three times because of Xu Da's imprisonment, and they did a lot of things at the risk of being killed in order to save Xu Da. After Xu Da went into hiding, his soldiers intensified and did not listen to others. In this way, he had to invite Xu Da out and let Xu Da regain his military power. This made Zhu Yuanzhang very useless in his heart.

Third, when the leader of the uprising was first elected, everyone also elected Xu Da, believing that Xu Da was a leader in talent, martial arts or other aspects. Xu Da didn't want to do it, so he gave it to Zhu Yuanzhang. Although the army is getting bigger and bigger under the leadership of Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da is also indispensable. And Xu Da's original concession is also seen by many people. This made Zhu Yuanzhang very jealous.

Fourth, Chu Liuyan. Chu Liuyan has always been loyal to Wu, but her closeness to Xu Da can be seen by anyone. In order to save Xu Da and help Xu Da before, she did a lot of things, and even did not hesitate to turn against Zhu Yuanzhang. This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel very uncomfortable.

Fifth, there is what happened today. Zhu Yuanzhang has always known that Li Shanchang and Xu Da, Chu Liuyan, Liu Bowen and others are two factions, and sometimes even hostile. And Zhu Yuanzhang never sided with one side, although he wanted to see his subordinates unite on the surface, in fact, he wished that the two of them would continue to fight. In this way, Li Shanchang and his group can be used to balance Xu Da's gang.

But now, Li Shanchang has said a lot of good things for Xu Da. If he said good things on weekdays, Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't take it seriously. It was when Li Shanchang was drunk that he said good things for Xu Da. The so-called is spitting out the truth after getting drunk, it can be seen that Xu Da is really popular in this Wu country. Even his opponent has no way not to admire him. This made Zhu Yuanzhang angry and anxious.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious in his heart, he did not show it on his face. He sneered and said, "I think the military advisor has drunk too much today." How to spite the gibberish. If we were able to defeat Chen Youliang, it was the result of the concerted efforts of the whole army, how could it be the credit of a certain person? I think the military advisor is confused. Come on, help your husband down to rest. The country's grandfather is going home. ”

"Yes." A delicate female voice next to her said, "The slave obeys." After speaking, he stepped forward to help Li Shanchang.

The woman had been standing next to her for a long time, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay special attention to it. Now listening to her voice, tactful and coquettish, like a nightingale out of the valley, I can't help but pay attention to it. He unconsciously glanced up, and just looked at it, almost stunned.

The so-called peerless beauty, looking at the city, and then the country, is nothing more than that. That woman was born so beautiful. Even under the most ordinary clothes, she can bring out her natural beauty. What Zhu Yuanzhang cares about the most is that she is not only beautiful, but also has a little shadow of Chu Liuyan in her eyebrows and eyes. But compared to Chu Liuyan's heroic posture, she looks much more charming and soft, and she is also much, much more beautiful than Chu Liuyan.

"You are-" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the woman, and when he helped Li Shanchang, his posture was so intimate, and he naturally understood that she was Li Shanchang's concubine. Therefore, I swallowed what I wanted to say. The woman smiled and said softly, "Ning Luo retreated first, please forgive me." Between her gestures, she naturally has a quiet temperament, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang lose her soul when she sees it.

When she was gone, Zhu Yuanzhang secretly sighed: There are no less than a dozen wives and concubines, but none of them can be as beautiful as her. Li Shanchang, an old horseman, is really a good blessing.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been a little uneasy since he came back from Li Shanchang's mansion. Sometimes, when he closes his eyes, two shadows appear in front of him. One is Chu Liuyan's heroic posture, but this shadow was quickly replaced by another stunning woman with Luo Yanshui sleeves and bright eyes and bright teeth. That woman is naturally the condensation that Zhu Yuanzhang saw in Li Shanchang's mansion.

What kind of woman in the world, Zhu Yuanzhang has not seen it? But it was the first time I had seen it like Condensation was so beautiful, the voice was so sweet, and the demeanor was so elegant. In front of Condensation, Zhu Yuanzhang deeply felt that all his concubines had lost their color. When he thought that such a young and beautiful woman was followed by Li Shanchang, who was middle-aged, he felt a little angry and jealous.

On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang was reading the letters sent by him to monitor Xu Da, Chu Liuyan and Chang Yuchun. A subordinate reported and said: "Qi Wu Guogong, Li Junshi asks to see." ”

"Li Shanchang, this old horseman!" Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself, and said to his subordinates: "If you go and tell Li Junshi, just say that your country's public army division is busy and you don't have time to see him." ”

"But," the subordinate hesitated for a long time and said, "Li Junshi said that he came today to make amends for the events of the previous few days and for the Duke of Guo, and if the Duke of Guo refused to see him, he would wait outside and not leave." ”

"Hmph, then let him wait outside." Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and said.

He looked at the letter, Xu Da was indeed Xu Da, he went to the battlefield this time, although there was no way to help Chen Youliang's battleship, but he did not lose a battle. When confronting Chen Youliang, he fought a few small battles and won. The soldiers all respected Xu Da more and more, and they simply regarded him as a god. Xu Da's prestige in the army is thriving, and Chu Liuyan and others are dedicated to assisting. And so on..... When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, his heart became very unsteady.

He thought about it and understood that it was still up to Li Shanchang and others to balance Xu Da. Although he also said that he was also a little annoyed with Li Shanchang for that beauty's business, he was also not worth condensing. However, compared with national affairs, the private affairs of children are really not worth mentioning. Thinking of this, he said in a loud voice: "Invite Master Li Shanchang Li in." ”

"Yes." The soldier got his order, and went out to invite Li Shanchang in.

After Li Shanchang came in, he immediately knelt down: "Guogong atonement, Guogong atonement." On that day, the benevolent chief drank too much, said a lot of things that should not be said, and asked the prince to atone for his sins. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that now was not the time to settle accounts, so he held his hands and said, "Strategist, please get up." That day is the birthday of the soldier, and the military advisor is respected, so why should the military advisor go to his heart? Naturally, the public of the country will not go to his heart. ”

Li Shanchang was still kneeling on the ground, and said in fear: "It's the subordinates who are guilty, and the subordinates deserve death." Today, his subordinates specially asked the prince to come here. He also asked Wu Guogong to accept the plea from his subordinates. If the prince does not agree, then the good chief will not be able to kneel for a long time. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a little tired in his heart, but Rao was like this, and he didn't show it. He picked up Li Shanchang with both hands and said, "Strategist, please get up, please get up." In this case, it is enough for the national prince to accept the plea from the military advisor. ”

"Thank you." Li Shanchang said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you Lord Guogong for not caring about villains." Li Shanchang has been poor all his life, and he has nothing to make amends with the national government. Only my righteous daughter Li Ningluo admires Guogong very much in her heart. The subordinates gave the condensation to the prince as a maid to serve his wife, and asked the prince not to dislike it. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned, and asked again: "What did you say?" You say that Condensation is your righteous daughter? ”

"Exactly." Li Shanchang said unhurriedly: "Ning Luo is the righteous daughter who was accepted by Neiko when she was alive before. Later, the war was separated from Uchiko and Condensation. Uchiko died, and Condensation was alone. Until a few days ago, she heard that I followed Guogong in Yingtian, so she came to take refuge. ”

"I see, I see." Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be thinking about something: "You said that Ning Luo has been lonely for many years, so what does she do to make a living?" ”

Li Shanchang was so smart, he naturally understood that Zhu Yuanzhang meant to ask whether a weak woman had fallen into the dust and so on over the years, so he replied: "Please rest assured." The hand of condensation is particularly skillful, and the hand that can embroider is a good embroiderer. In the years that she was separated from her subordinates, she has been living by embroidery, which can be described as Bingqing Yujie. Now, Condensation is also sixteen years old. The subordinates wanted to ask her if she was married to a good family. But she didn't expect that since that day, after she met Guogong, she admired Guogong in every way, saying that she would rather come to Guogong's side to be a maid, and it was enough to add fragrance to her red sleeves. I don't want to get married. I had to come to Guogong to preach and say. ”

The joy in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is indescribable. He has long liked Li Ningluo, but he mistakenly thought that she was Li Shanchang's concubine. Now that I know that she is Li Shanchang's righteous daughter, and she is also ice clear and jade, she has some affection for herself, how can she not like it. Therefore, he said: "Okay, good ......" said three good words in a row.

At this moment, another soldier came to report and said: "Qi Wu Guogong, the Chu army division is asking to see outside." ”

"Who?" Zhu Yuanzhang still hasn't woken up from his dream.

"It's Chu Liuyan Chu Junshi." The soldier replied.

"Chu Liuyan? Isn't she on the front line? How did you come back? Li Shanchang's face showed a look of disapproval.

"Qi Yu Guogong, I heard that it was General Chang, and he was seriously injured. The Chu army division specially escorted General Chang back. The soldier reported truthfully.

"What do you say? Chang Yuchun was seriously injured? How much does it weigh? Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and asked, he couldn't take care of Li Ningluo anymore. After all, a frequent spring is enough to be worth thousands of soldiers.

"Please also ask Guogong to go out and have a look. The subordinates did not dare to speak falsely. The soldier said with sincere fear. Hearing his words, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a chill in his heart. Because of what kind of person Chang Yuchun is, he Zhu Yuanzhang knows best. Chang Yuchun is definitely the kind of person who can't get out of the line of fire with minor injuries, and now that he can be escorted back by Chu Liuyan, he is obviously seriously injured.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked almost hoarsely, "Where is General Chang?" Where is it? Quick, quickly spread the Chu military division in, quickly pass on-"

"Yes. The soldier panicked and agreed.

Hearing that Chang Yuchun was seriously injured, Zhu Yuanzhang felt so heartbroken in his heart. Although Chang Yuchun likes to kill, he once caused dissatisfaction among people all over the world. Chang Yuchun's personality is also reckless, but he is the rarest general in the world. The most important thing is that Chang Yuchun is a rare general and has an upright and reckless temperament, and has no big ambitions. In terms of fighting, it was once invincible.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang not only relieved, but also relieved. Zhu Yuanzhang can rely on Chang Yuchun, and he doesn't have to be as vigilant as he is against Xu Da. And the ability to fight in the spring is definitely among the top few in the world. If Chang Yuchun is lost, for Zhu Yuanzhang, it is definitely not as simple as losing a soldier.

Losing Chang Yuchun is like losing 100,000 male soldiers.
