Chapter Twenty-Seven: Hostage Exchange
Early in the morning of the third day, Guo Zixing really couldn't bear it anymore and came to Xu Da to question. Guo Zixing said angrily: "Xu Da, now there are so many rumors in the city for no reason, and now everyone in the world thinks that I, Guo Zixing, am an ungrateful villain, but have you done a good thing?" He was aggressive, but Xu Da was not surprised, and said with a smile: "Why did Marshal Guo say that?" It's just rumors. The so-called rumors stop at the wise, if Marshal Guo wants not to be misunderstood, he will use Sun Deya to exchange our marshal back, isn't it? ”
"You...... Okay, you Xu Da, you are scheming against me. Guo Zixing said viciously. I can't wait to breathe fire in my eyes.
"I'm ashamed." Xu Da said calmly: "If Marshal Guo refuses, how can Xu ask for it?" Everything is up to the marshal. No matter what happens in the end, it will not be our army that will riot. ”
Guo Zixing was angry, but he was a little helpless. Mrs. Chen told him to think of a way to coerce Xu Da to retract the rumors. But firstly, Xu Da is not such an easy person to deal with, and secondly, once the rumors spread, is it so easy to retract them?
Gongsun Lux whispered to Guo Zixing: "Marshal, in my opinion, it is better to let Sun Deya go." In the future, there will always be another opportunity to settle accounts with him. Otherwise, the army in this city will be our enemy, and I am afraid that something will not be good. It really shouldn't be for the sake of Sun Deya alone, so that the three armies rebelled, and the big loss was big. If Marshal Sun does not put Sun Deya, one will lose one of our generals Zhu Yuanzhang, and the second will be the guest army will inevitably fight with us, so that it is better to put this Sun Deya as soon as possible, so it is better to release this Sun Deya as soon as possible, and it is also a favor for Xu Da and others, but it can fulfill the marshal's virtues for his subordinates. In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang can be kept safe, and there will be no too much damage to us. Even if the marshal wants to attack this Sun Deya, there will still be a chance in the future, and there is no need to fight for this time and a half, what does the marshal think. ”
Guo Zixing listened to Gongsun Lishi's admonition and really calmed down, Guo Zixing thought in his heart, this matter was not a difficult thing for him, and it was just a matter of his own words to kill Sun Deya or leave Sun Deya's life. At present, Sun Deya has been captured by himself, at least in the eyes of others, Sun Deya is already a prisoner under his own account. His own statement and prestige will definitely be above Sun Deya after this incident, but this Sun Deya's dog life is exchanged for Zhu Yuanzhang, the most powerful person under his account, and this deal is really a little unsuccessful. If Zhu Yuanzhang is killed by Sun Deya's subordinates, where will he find such a powerful subordinate in the future?
As soon as he thought of this, Guo Zixing felt more and more that he still couldn't do without such a capable assistant as Zhu Yuanzhang at the moment. So Guo Zixing also thought a little about what Xu Da had just contradicted him. For example, Xu Da did this to protect a capable assistant for himself. And if Zhu Yuanzhang can be brought back this time as Xu Da asked, then the soldiers and soldiers under the account will say that he is a benevolent and righteous marshal, since he can sit on such a good reputation so easily, then why not do it. So Guo Zixing changed a smile and said to Xu Da: "General Xu, this marshal is not an unkind person, not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang was originally my confidant and favorite general, how could I abandon it." In this way, Marshal Ben quickly sent an envoy to Sun Deya's camp to exonerate Sun Deya's generals, saying that as long as they could release Zhu Yuanzhang, Marshal Ben would immediately put Sun Deya back unharmed. ”
Xu Da heard Guo Zixing say this, and immediately stepped forward to thank Guo Zixing and said: "Since the marshal is willing to do this, then the last general will ask the marshal to act like this immediately, so as not to have a long night and many dreams, and I am afraid that Sun Deya's subordinates will do something terrible to Zhu Yuanzhang if it is too late, and it will be too late to redeem it." ”
Guo Zixing was already willing Zhu Yuanzhang to come back, and when he heard Xu Da say this, he also felt very reasonable. Therefore, the herald immediately summoned a messenger, and after giving such and such an order to the messenger, he waved his hand and let the messenger ride a fast horse to the camp of Sun Deya.
After the envoy went and did not come back for a long time, Xu Da hurriedly climbed out of the tent, paced anxiously at the door, and looked at the figure of the envoy from afar.
But the messenger still failed to appear, Xu Da was a little anxious, thinking that something had changed in Sun Deya's camp, and both the envoy and Zhu Yuanzhang fell into the camp. So Xu Da ordered someone to pull a horse, flew on the horse himself, and ran to Sun Deya's camp after beating the horse, Xu Da wanted to break into the camp to rescue Zhu Yuanzhang by himself.
But after running for a while, the horse met the envoy sent by Guo Zixing to negotiate and ran back with a whip and went straight into Guo Zixing's camp. When Xu Da saw it, he quickly turned the horse's head and ran back with the messenger.
As soon as the envoy entered the tent, as soon as Guo Zixing saw him come in, he stepped forward and grabbed the envoy's shoulder and asked: "Why did you go for so long, why did you come back alone, Zhu Yuanzhang, why didn't he come back with you." ”
The envoy rushed back just now, and he hadn't caught his breath yet, so he replied intermittently to Guo Zixing: "Return, Marshal Guo, the villain went, went to the other party's camp, and told them that the marshal was willing to release Sun Deya, and those generals also agreed to release Zhu Yuanzhang." The conversation was good at the beginning, but later they heard that the marshal wanted them to release Zhu Yuanzhang first, so they were unhappy, it was the marshal who detained their commander for no reason, even if they wanted to release people, the marshal should release people first to show sincerity, otherwise, so as to show integrity. Therefore, the marshal was asked to release the man first, but after the villain's folding and punching, the other party's generals agreed to release Zhu Yuanzhang first, but they had to find someone to replace Zhu Yuanzhang and return to the camp tent, and named the famous generals of our side. You have to wait until the marshal releases Sun Deya back before he can release this general. ”
"What, these people are too calculating, one for the other, what's the difference between that and not changing." Guo Zixing said with some anger.
"Marshal, I'm willing to go and exchange Zhu Yuanzhang back." Xu Da rushed into the room from outside the door and said to Guo Zixing.
"You, how can this be." Guo Zixing said unexpectedly.
"Marshal, since they put forward the conditions, then let's exchange Zhu Yuanzhang back first." Xu Da said calmly.
"Okay, since you took the initiative to ask for help, then you can follow the messenger to go again. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang returns to the camp, I will release Sun Deya immediately and let you come back quickly. ”
Xu Da nodded at Guo Ziyi, and went out with the messenger, and the two went out of the tent, turned over their horses, and went straight to the other party's tent.
It didn't take long for Zhu Yuanzhang to return.
Guo Zixing kept his promise and released Sun Deya. Soon Xu Da also came back on horseback.
After experiencing this incident, the more Guo Zixing thought about it, the more angry he became, the person he hated the most in his life was Sun Deya, and the person he wanted to kill the most was Sun Deya, but what made him miscalculate was that at the last moment, when he saw that he could kill Sun Deya, he had to let Sun Deya go in order to rescue Zhu Yuanzhang. could have removed Sun Deya and Zhu Yuanzhang, the two thorns in their eyes, but now that the bamboo basket is empty, Guo Zixing's heart, not to mention how angry he is.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more angry he became, and he couldn't bear it. After thinking about it, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. In the end, the anger surged, and the whole person became angry. Guo Zixing's condition is getting worse day by day, and he can't stay in Hezhou City anymore. Zhu Yuanzhang specially invited a famous doctor to see a doctor for him.
Unexpectedly, in this way, not only Chuzhou, but also Hezhou has become Guo Zixing's territory. And Zhu Yuanzhang, there is nothing. This incident has become Zhu Yuanzhang's heart disease. And the generals under Zhu Yuanzhang were even more unconvinced.
But less than a month later, Guo Zixing suddenly fell ill and died. This incident caused quite a stir in Hezhou City. After the doctor's diagnosis, it was said that Guo Zixing was too hot in his liver and died because the virus invaded his body. In fact, only Zhu Yuanzhang, Chu Liuyan, Xu Da and others knew that Guo Zixing died after taking poisonous medicine.
And this poison was secretly prescribed by the doctor by Zhu Yuanzhang. If you want to fight the world, there will be sacrifices. And the first obstacle is to clear Guo Zixing. Now that Guo Zixing has been removed, Guo Tianxu and Mrs. Chen are not afraid, Zhu Yuanzhang took over the army as a matter of course and regained possession of Hezhou City and elite soldiers.
The so-called people who achieve great things are not informal, and Zhu Yuanzhang has done his best to Guo Zixing. And Guo Zixing wants to harm Zhu Yuanzhang everywhere. Now that he died in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, he deserved it.
