Chu Liuyan bowed his head and said, "Wu Guogong doesn't hurt to say anything. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply, and then said to Chu Liuyan: "The national prince just sees that the current situation is difficult, and he can rarely remedy it. ”

Chu Liuyan said softly: "This is natural, Liuyan will come to understand." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to take care of himself: "Although the national prince is known as a horse high, a post (for harmony), and a clear ambition of the world. Ignorant of the difficulties of current affairs, although he acted cautiously and walked on thin ice, he still had the strength to fail to catch something, or to misjudge things, although his own public was the shepherd of the people who should be heavenly, and he could not protect the thoroughness of the subjects of the heavens, thinking about it today, he was actually guilty. ”

Chu Liuyan was surprised when he heard Wu Guogong's words of self-blame, and hurriedly said: "Wu Guogong raised troops to fight Haoliang, leveled the great difficulty, but his nature is actually loyal and stoic. Now the Han King Chen Youliang brazenly led his troops to attack, but it was only a temporary difficulty, and there must be a time to retreat, this is an unpredictable thing, and Wu Guogong does not have to blame himself too much. ”

After listening to Chu Liuyan's persuasion, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to feel a little more comfortable in his heart, so he said to Chu Liuyan: "Thank you Chu Junshi for your gentle words." This time, I specially put the city defense seal of Yingtiancheng on the personal letterhead sent to the Chuzhou general Liancheng Jue, in order to win his trust. ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, he felt a little strange, why Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang would say that he would put Ying Tiancheng Defense Great Seal on the private letter to the Chuzhou general Liancheng Jue, it was actually to win the trust of others.

With this doubt in his heart, Chu Liuyan didn't have many scruples, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "In the letter that Wu Guogong sent to Liancheng Jue in private, it should be a private seal, so it is appropriate, why does Wu Guogong not care about this matter, and the big seal of the Jinshang Mansion is not a mystery." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Chu Junshi has this question, of course. However, the Chu military division only knows one of them, but does not know the other. Although the future of more than 100,000 people in Chuzhou is under my command, these people are just obedient to their leader, the Chuzhou general Liancheng Jue, and no matter what, they must only look forward to Liancheng Jue. I believe that Chu Junshi is also deeply aware of this, although Lian Chengjue is only a martial artist, but his heart is deep, he has the city government, and he is also decisive in his actions, and he will be decisive when he is decisive. Treating people and things, it is even more exquisite, with superb wrists, it is definitely not a thing in the pool, and the Chu military division will definitely be able to get a glimpse of his people and ambitions. ”

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words about Liancheng Jue, Chu Liuyan suddenly felt that Zhu Yuanzhang really had some unique knowledge, she had dealt with Liancheng Jue several times, and knew that this person was by no means comparable to an ordinary general in the army. Zhu Yuanzhang's words for this person are very appropriate.

Chu Liuyan smiled and echoed Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong and said: "What Wu Guogong said is extremely true, although his subordinates have only had a few encounters with this person, but they can also see that his people are by no means ordinary ignorant martial artists, and the freedom in his heart is far from being comparable to other generals who are not familiar with current affairs among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Chuzhou, but his ethics are not how noble." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, smiled and said: "If this is the case, the views of the Chu military division coincide with the Duke of the country. Therefore, the national government had to induce it to make heavy profits, and in addition, it was the opinion of the national public that this matter was the fixed opinion of the national government, and it would never be denied afterwards. If Lianchengjue sees this letter, even if he may not listen to me, he will definitely be moved, as long as Lianchengjue has such an idea in his heart, even if he doesn't help me, he will definitely not take the opportunity to harm me. ”

Chu Liuyan bowed slightly to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, and expressed his agreement with Zhu Yuanzhang's words. Although Chu Liuyan, the person of Liancheng Jue, does not know much, but Chu Liuyan, the pomp of Liancheng Jue, has seen it, his hands are extremely broad and generous, most of the generals of Chuzhou deduct the food and salary of the soldiers, and Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, likes to spend extravagantly, as the general of Chuzhou, he is naturally contaminated with some habits of the old masters.

It was only at this time that Chu Liuyan understood that Zhu Yuanzhang's approach turned out to be something else, and Chu Liuyan had never been able to figure out the twists and turns in the meantime.

Now after hearing Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's exoneration, although Chu Liuyan feels that Zhu Yuanzhang's approach is a little too slippery, but the current situation cannot help but act like this.

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "The historical situation in the army is also known to the Chu military division, Yingtian soldiers and horses were originally separated from Chuzhou soldiers and horses, even if the two armies are sometimes cooperative, but the two sides are suspicious, rarely have ends, and each other cannot win the trust of friendly troops." As a result, the officers and men of the two armies became more and more suspicious, and when they heard that they were fighting together, they would frown at every turn, which was regarded as a daunting path. Even if the two armies plan carefully, coordinate with each other, and make a bloody oath of offensive and defensive alliance, it cannot slightly reduce the mutual suspicion of the two armies. ”

Chu Liuyan naturally understood this situation, but although he was clear in his heart, he was helpless about this situation. After all, the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou were originally owned by Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, no matter what, the generals and soldiers of Chuzhou are not as close as Yingtian's military horses at the moment.

Thinking of this, Chu Liuyan even thought that a few days ago, a few generals came to the Chuzhou camp to make trouble in the camp under General Xu Da.

"What Wu Guogong said is not bad, as far as the smoke knows, the dirty relationship between the generals of Chuzhou and the generals of Yingtian, and the fact that the two are not convinced, his subordinates have not heard of it at the time, but also have experienced it." Chu Liuyan said to Zhu Yuanzhang without hesitation.

"Master Chu has had an experience." Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while, then slapped his forehead and said: "The Duke of China is confused, the Chu Army Division has mentioned this matter to the Duke of the Country, the last time the Chu Army Division said that in General Xu Da's camp encountered a few Chuzhou generals who came to make trouble, and humiliated the generals in Xu Da's army, fortunately, the Chu Army Division inspected the military camp, and happened to encounter this incident, and the Chu Army Division taught the Chuzhou generals a lesson, and after subduing the Chuzhou generals, he immediately asked those Chuzhou generals who came to make trouble not to make trouble in General Xu Da's camp from now on. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to Chu Liuyan and said, "I don't know if there is a discrepancy between what the government of my country recorded and what Liuyan said that day?" ”

Chu Liuyan didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, would even remember this matter so clearly, Chu Liuyan only inadvertently mentioned it to Zhu Yuanzhang once last time, but he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to remember everything clearly.

For Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's talent, Chu Liuyan felt ashamed of himself, and was secretly surprised in his heart.

After being surprised for a while, Chu Liuyan also secretly warned himself that if there were some things to hide from Zhu Yuanzhang in the future, it was best not to tell Zhu Yuanzhang anything about it, because there would be no way to cover up the past.

However, Chu Liuyan couldn't ignore Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, so he said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Wu Guogong remembers not bad at all, something like this will happen that day, Wu Guogong really has a heart, and his subordinates are about to forget it, Wu Guogong just heard his subordinates say it once, and he actually remembers it so clearly." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled a little humbly and said: "It's not that the public of my country has the heart to remember this matter, it's just that these words are mentioned by the military master of Chu to the public of the country, and the public of the country is naturally extremely concerned about the words of the military division of Chu, even if it is a trivial matter, it will be firmly remembered in my heart." ”

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's smile, Chu Liuyan didn't know what he should say, for Wu Guogong's words, Chu Liuyan vaguely felt that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have something to say, but in the end, he was still a little uncertain for a while.

Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, is very fond of himself, and he even remembers every word he has said in his heart.

Such an idea suddenly appeared in the depths of Chu Liuyan's heart, but for Chu Liuyan, the current situation was really a little embarrassing.

Chu Liuyan was intent on coming here, and his heart was pounding, feeling that he had actually ignored Wu Guogong's feelings for him all these years.

If this is not the case, why would Wu Guogong say such words to himself, Chu Liuyan is still a little puzzled in his heart.

But even so, Chu Liuyan was unwilling to verify these things with Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu in front of him.

"Wu Guogong laughed, this is Wu Guogong's talent, what does it have to do with flowing smoke." Chu Liuyan lowered his head and said to Zhu Yuanzhang in an obscure voice.

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it, and saw that the shy and lovely Chu Liuyan had already lowered his head, but he only revealed a snow-white neck, which was a little dazzling.

However, with Chu Liuyan's attitude, Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that Chu Liuyan would definitely not delve into this issue with himself.

Fang Cai Chu Liuyan's remarks naturally deliberately misinterpreted his original intentions, and also used this to show his attitude towards himself.

Chu Liuyan really had such a plan in his heart, no matter what, he didn't have the heart to wonder what Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang meant to himself, and what he remembered in his heart was that General Xu Da could be released by Wu Guogong as soon as possible.

"Wu Guogong, I don't know where General Xu Da is right now." Chu Liuyan asked without hesitation.

As soon as the words came out, Chu Liuyan felt a little remorseful, didn't this question show that he knew that Xu Da was no longer in Yingtian's prison.

Chu Liuyan stared at Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang with great concern, wanting to know what Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang said about his question.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, didn't seem to know the omission in his words, and just replied lightly: "General Xu Da is currently in the mansion of the Duke of China, if the military division of Chu wants to see him now, the Duke of the State can lead the way immediately." ”

"If that's the case, is General Xu Da really in Wu Guogong's mansion?" Chu Liuyan asked with surprise and joy.

"Yes, General Xu Da made a feud with the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou because of the incident of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, and the prince of his country was afraid that General Xu Da would spoil the plots of the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou, so he quietly arranged some henchmen to secretly put General Xu Da out of the Yingtian prison and moved him to a remote courtyard in the mansion of his country."

After hearing the words of the five Zhu Yuanzhangs, Chu Liuyan knew that he and the generals under Xu Da secretly sent people to search the teahouse and inn in Yingtiancheng, but they couldn't get to the place where Zhu Yuanzhang put Xu Da under house arrest early.

Chu Liuyan was secretly surprised, Wu Guogong's methods were not ordinary, and he actually moved Xu Da to his own mansion, and always put it in his own grasp, which was equivalent to grabbing a surprisingly winning chess piece, and being able to win by surprise at the most critical moment, Wu Guogong was so deliberate, he must have wanted to sacrifice General Xu Da at the last pass, so as to buy the Chuzhou soldiers and horses.

There is such an unknowable secret hidden under such a high-sounding hat to protect Xu Da, although Chu Liuyan realized this, he did not have the slightest intention to expose Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang.

But no matter what, the top priority at the moment is to meet Xu Da first.

Chu Liuyan made up his mind in his heart, and decided to ignore Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards him first, and go to the other courtyard with Wu Guogong to meet Xu Da first.

"Since this is the case, I bother Wu Guogong to take his subordinates to the other courtyard first, Liuyan and General Xu Da have not seen each other for several days, and I am very worried about it."

When Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he had other thoughts in his heart, Chu Liuyan's unintentional mistake had already made Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang know in his heart that Chu Liuyan in front of him must have had a move to rescue Xu Da from Yingtian Prison, it seems that what Li Shanchang said to himself a few days ago really has some truth, it is very likely that there is a countercurrent in the army, and he wants to take this opportunity to rescue Xu Da.

However, time has passed, and Zhu Yuanzhang knew that it was too late to pursue it, so he thought about it for a while and felt that there was no need to talk about it now.

Chu Liuyan didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking in his heart, but he felt that Wu Guogong suddenly fell silent.

Chu Liuyan raised his eyes and saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's face seemed to be worried, so he opened his mouth and asked: "Wu Guogong's face is uncertain, whether there is something in his heart." ”

Hearing Chu Liuyan's call, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, couldn't help but raise his head, and said with a disguised smile: "Chu Junshi, please be relieved, my country's official just thought of the daytime military arrangements, not something in his heart, and Chu Junshi doesn't have to worry about his country's public." ”

As soon as Chu Liuyan heard Zhu Yuanzhang's categorical veto, he did not doubt him, and the straight way was Wu Guogong's matter in the military situation, and it was inconvenient to continue to ask each other, so he also fell silent.

The two were relatively silent for a while, and Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly called out in shock: "Chu Junshi is not going to visit General Xu Da, please come with me." ”

Chu Liuyan didn't know what kind of affection Zhu Yuanzhang had for what he said, but now that he heard Zhu Yuanzhang make this invitation, it was inconvenient to refuse, so he agreed to Zhu Yuanzhang's invitation and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Liuyan really has this intention, since Wu Guogong invited, it is naturally better to be respectful than to obey." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, then stood up, turned to Chu Liuyan's side, and said to Chu Liuyan: "Since this is the case, please ask Chu Junshi to come with me." ”

Chu Liuyan responded, followed Zhu Yuanzhang's back, and walked out of Zhu Yuanzhang's signing room.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Chu Liuyan passed through several houses one after another, and then came to a remote place, and there was a bamboo forest in front of them.

Chu Liuyan naturally didn't know that Wu Guogong and Zhu Yuanzhang imprisoned Xu Da in a bamboo building in a courtyard deep in the bamboo forest.

I saw that there was a pond on the edge of the bamboo forest, and there were some green paths in the bamboo forest, and the breeze came slowly, which was beautiful.

"It's a beautiful lotus leaf field." Chu Liuyan couldn't help but say softly behind Zhu Yuanzhang, Duke of Wu.

The pond where the hibiscus comes out of the water is surrounded by countless thousands of green bamboos, which are swaying when the wind comes.

"Does Master Chu think this place is good?" Wu Guogong glanced back at Chu Liuyan and asked casually.

"It's really a rare good place, Dongpo monks have clouds and would rather eat without meat, not live without bamboo. It's a sight to behold. Chu Liuyan smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

Looking at the gentle lotus steps, the graceful posture of the walk, the smile on his face like a flower, and the skin like snow Chu Liuyan, Zhu Yuanzhang unconsciously looked a little stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew Chu Liuyan's thoughts, but the current Chu Liuyan really made Zhu Yuanzhang's heart move.

Zhu Yuanzhang involuntarily stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the smooth face of the goddess-like Chu Liuyan in his mind.

I've done this before.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had such a thought in his heart.

Chu Liuyan saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly demented, and he didn't know what was happening, and when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang stretching out his hand without warning, he hurriedly stopped his steps and took a few steps back.

As soon as he saw Chu Liuyan staggering back, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately woke up and immediately withdrew the hand stretched out to Chu Liuyan.

Chu Liuyan will also realize that Zhu Yuanzhang must have a good impression of himself, so he will have such a move.

Thinking of this, Chu Liuyan's face suddenly appeared with two blushes, which was very good-looking.

However, Chu Liuyan also knew in her heart that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely not be rude to herself, and Fang Cai's actions were just caused by not being able to keep her mind for a while, and she couldn't scold her for such a situation.

Zhu Yuanzhang settled down, and said to Chu Liuyan very guiltily: "Liuyan girl, Fang Cai, Fang Cai, my country's father doesn't want to be inferior to you. It was just a moment of confusion that he made a move. ”

"No, it's not confused, it's a ghost, it must be a ghost, Master Chu, don't blame me." Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly explained to Chu Liuyan.

Chu Liuyan also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not act like this, so he did not blame Zhu Yuanzhang, but said lightly: "Wu Guogong, Liuyan does not blame Wu Guogong in the slightest, I just hope that Wu Guogong can respect himself in the future, Liuyan has nothing else to wish, today's matter has been revealed, I hope Wu Guogong will not mention it in the future." ”
