Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion is indeed extremely sharp, although the generals under Xu Da's command followed Chu Liuyan and wanted to rescue Xu Dalai, but for these generals, Wu Guogong, who is high above, is the highest general in the army after all, even after the disobedience, the generals of this gang still have uneasy thoughts in their hearts, and they are afraid that they will be worn by Wu Guogong in small shoes in the future.

As soon as his mind moved, Zhu Yuanzhang said aloud to the generals under Xu Da: "The prince of my country is naturally not willing to be coerced by the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou to kill General Xu Da, but the current situation is like this, and the prince of my country really has no choice, if he does not accept the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou, the prince of my country is also worried about whether the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou will rebel." If the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou rebel, with the strength of the soldiers and horses of Yingtian, there is really no way to start a war on two fronts, no matter what, the prince of the country also wants to protect the lives of the people in the city. ”

When the generals under Xu Da's command heard that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guogong, had already understood Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning in their hearts, Zhu Yuanzhang clearly stated that if he couldn't have both, he had to sacrifice General Xu Da to save the lives of the people in the city.

Seeing such a situation, the generals under Xu Da's command were also helpless, they knew that as the official of Yingtiancheng, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally could not ignore the lives of the people in the city, and would take this as the top priority no matter what.

General Xu Da is afraid that his life is not guaranteed this time, and the generals under Xu Da's command are as anxious as they are roasting and frying in their hearts, even Bai Chousheng, who is the most calm and elegant in Pingsu, can't help it, Huo Ran walked out of the crowd, forced his composure, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang reluctantly: "Wu Guogong, the most powerful general in the army, except for General Chang Yuchun, belongs to General Xu Da." If Wu Guogong insisted on not letting General Xu Da come out to preside over military affairs, I am afraid that the stalemate will come to the end, and the opportunity will definitely be wasted and the overall situation will be ruined in vain. ”

As soon as Bai Chousheng's words came out, Chu Liuyan, who was standing beside Bai Chousheng, immediately understood his intentions.

The current situation is extremely critical, but even if you want to resist the Han army, at least you must first deploy troops, and there are still many important things to plan during this period, so you can't do it rashly.

However, in any case, first fight for Xu Da to get a glimmer of life, and let Wu Guogong release General Xu Da first, so that we can talk about the rest of the matter.

After understanding the point of hunger, Chu Liuyan naturally said to Zhu Yuanzhang anxiously: "Wu Guogong, the current situation is no longer to think about it, General Xu Da is a virtuous talent in the army after all, with him in charge, it is natural to deal with the rapid attack of the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang, if Wu Guogong hesitates again and again, he will not immediately release General Xu Da, and then order him to convene the old department, select the generals under his command, bring more soldiers and brave equipment, and gallop to the troops of General Chang Yuchun and General Tang He in the starry night to solve this crisis, it will be too late in the future." ”

Li Shanchang didn't know what kind of thoughts he had, and suddenly walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, and admonished Zhu Yuanzhang: "Wu Guogong, Chu Junshi's words are reasonable, the current situation really needs General Xu Da to take action, Wu Guogong should quickly remedy, comfort General Xu Da, and order him to set off on a day to help General Chang Yuchun and General Tang He." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally didn't expect Li Shanchang to admonish him like this, and glanced at Li Shanchang in surprise, with a questioning look on his face.

Li Shanchang didn't answer, but just smiled slyly at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Li Shanchang's gourd, but in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he also knew that if Xu Da was not allowed to come out of the current situation, he would naturally not say much.

However, Li Shanchang categorically will not deceive himself, only by helping himself and waiting for a high position, Li Shanchang can rise step by step, and Li Shanchang has no need to ask for trouble.

No matter what, for now, I still have to appease the generals under Xu Da.

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself secretly in his heart.

If you want to ask for overall stability, you have to appease the generals under Xu Da's command, especially to win the support of those generals who are only willing to follow Xu Da.

"It's really hard to do." Zhu Yuanzhang was worried again, "No matter what, the most important thing at the moment is to hold on to Yingtian, no matter whether the battle is won or defeated, Yingtian must not be lost." The generals only need to kill the enemy on the front line, and the national government will clean up the place for you, pacify the people, and add the transfer of military rations and plan the salaries of the soldiers, I am afraid that this burden will still be very heavy in the future! The past affairs of your soldiers can also be ignored by the national government! What do you think? ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang said these words, he was undoubtedly implying that the generals under Xu Da who were present wanted to keep the position in front of them, and the only way to follow Zhu Yuanzhang to protect Ying Tiancheng well was to not let the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang break in.

On the side of Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang, naturally he will not wear small shoes to the soldiers under Xu Da's command who disobeyed the order last time, or provide food, grass and salary to the generals under Xu Da's command, so that each side has room for concessions, and naturally they can be safe.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang have such a statement, the big stone hanging in the hearts of the generals under Xu Da these days has finally fallen to the ground, no matter what, Wu Guogong has already stated that he will no longer hold accountable for the previous disobedience, such a magnanimous treatment, naturally the generals under Xu Da's command are extremely satisfied, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang is the highest leader of Yingtian, if he has such a statement, it can also guarantee that he will not be embarrassed in this area in the future, and the generals who participated in the last disobedience.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Xu Da's wisdom was far-reaching, and he had a good command of the troops, and seeing that the generals under Xu Da's command were so supportive of Xu Da, they had already cast a great trend in Yingtian's army.

Since the vines have grown wildly, it is not so easy to be clear and clean at one time, and only by slowly drawing it can we maintain the stability of the overall situation.

As long as the generals under Xu Da's command can change their minds and support themselves and no longer disobey orders, then there is no need to use Xu Da for the time being.

What's more, Xu Da's life and death are still in his own hands, no matter how Xu Da is disposed of, or released and reused, or dismissed and demoted, Zhu Yuanzhang can depend on the situation, and it is better to let him stay under house arrest for a while.

Zhu Yuanzhang's wishful thinking was extremely loud, but things were not as simple as he thought.

Chu Liuyan had already seen Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, and felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's hand was selling well to the generals under Xu Da's command, and he must have the intention to win over the generals under Xu Da's command for his own use.

If some of these generals were not strong-willed, obeyed Zhu Yuanzhang's orders, and fell to the side of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, it would not be difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to defeat each of them.

Seeing this, Chu Liuyan suddenly realized that he and the generals of Chuzhou were about to fall into the trap set by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to subdue the generals under Xu Da first, Chu Liuyan was secretly frightened.

In view of this, Chu Liuyan hurriedly said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "What Wu Guogong said, since it is right, these things are extremely important no matter what, but the top priority at the moment is to reinstate General Xu Da, if General Xu Da cannot be allowed to come out to fight the enemy, no matter how many generals are sent, I am afraid there is no way to deal with the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han." ”

This remark is naturally consistent with Bai Chousheng's intentions, so Bai Chousheng also stepped forward to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Chu Junshi's words are very true, and I hope that Wu Guogong can adopt Chu's words." ”

The generals under Xu Da's command were not confused, as soon as they heard Chu Liuyan and Bai Chousheng singing and harmonizing, they already knew that Chu Liuyan and Bai Chou wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to express their position here, so the generals under Xu Da in the signing room knelt down and shouted to Zhu Yuanzhang in unison: "Please also ask Wu Guogong to adopt the praise of Chu's military division." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little embarrassed in his heart, Chu Liuyan directly guided the conversation to Xu Da's body, so he was so powerful that he couldn't answer Chu Liuyan's words even if he didn't want to.

Moreover, so many generals under Xu Da's command were staring at him with their eyes open, and it was impossible to avoid this matter lightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little regretful in his heart, he knew that this was the case, so he should have let all the generals under Xu Da's command disperse earlier, and then make plans for Luo Zhi in the future.

After making up his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang stiffened his head and said loudly to the generals under Xu Da, Chu Liuyan and others: "General Xu Da led his subordinates and served in the field. It is a pity that he went to Chuzhou to welcome Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, to respond to the matter, but the protection was not good and the disposal was inappropriate, so he was impeached and had a negative appointment. A few days ago, the country's government issued a special order to dismiss the general from his post and put him in prison to see the after-effects. This is the country's public song to be perfect, hoping that it will try to cheer up and redeem its former sorrows. In response to the imminent demise of Tiancheng, the Duke of China deliberately gave grace to General Xu Da from prison on the one hand, and reinstated him to reinstate him, so that he could command the old department and redeem the crime, so as to show his intention to encourage Rong to act. ”

Before Zhu Yuanzhang's words were finished, Bai Chousheng had already jumped up excitedly, no matter what, Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's edict already showed that Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to release Xu Da, which was sought by Chu Liuyan and the soldiers in the army.

Wu Guogong's edict was too ornate, and most of the big bosses in the army naturally couldn't understand it, but when Zhu Yuanzhang said that his own government had specially given grace, and the net opened the net to put General Xu Da out of prison first, and reinstate him, so that he could command the old department and make credit for his crimes, he naturally understood that Wu Guogong naturally wanted to release General Xu Da, which was great news.

The generals under Xu Da were ecstatic, in order to be able to get General Xu Da out, these people were ready to rob the prison, but unfortunately they fell short, before the action, they were sent by Wu Guogong to transfer General Xu Da from Yingtian's prison, and whenever they thought of this matter in the past few days, the generals under Xu Da were extremely sorry.

It was precisely because this kind of thing happened that some of the generals under Xu Da felt that it was not a good strategy to follow Chu Liuyan to rescue Xu Da. Only then did a few generals in the big tent attack Chu Liuyan.

And this time I came to the mansion of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guogong, to talk to Wu Guogong, although it was led by Chu Liuyan, despite the fact that half of it was Chu Liuyan who was forced by the pressure of the generals, and was forced to have no choice but to take a group of generals under Xu Da to break into the mansion of Wu Guogong.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, has opened the golden mouth, the generals under Xu Da are naturally extremely happy, so that General Xu Da can immediately be seen leading the officers and soldiers in the army from the beginning, charging into battle, killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions.

Chu Liuyan's happy eyes were a little red, after so many days of running and working, he could finally get General Xu Da out, Chu Liuyan was naturally extremely happy about these things, Wu Guogong had already promised himself and these generals under Xu Da, so naturally he would not regret it.

Chu Liuyan opened his mouth and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, Duke of Wu: "Duke Wu, if I can get your permission, I can let Chu Liuyan go to see General Xu Da together." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Since the Chu military division has this requirement, how can the Duke of China stop it, naturally he wants to be an adult." ”

Chu Liuyan was very happy, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, "Since this is the case, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, not to mention that the current situation is critical, it is better to ask Wu Guogong to take me to see General Xu Da immediately." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed suddenly, he didn't expect that he had promised Chu Liuyan and the generals under Xu Da to release Xu Da, but he never thought that Chu Liuyan wanted to see Xu Da so eagerly, and he didn't even want to wait for a while, but Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it secretly, and suddenly felt that there was nothing strange about these things, Xu Da had saved Chu Liuyan's father's life, and also saved Chu Liuyan's life, for Chu Liuyan, General Xu Da was her biggest benefactor in this life. Even if it were someone else, it would have been the same reaction. ”

Thinking of this in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang did not doubt him, and said with a smile at Chu Liuyan: "In this case, after the national government arranges today's affairs, I will immediately take the Chu army division to visit General Xu Da." ”

Chu Liuyan naturally knew that there was a sense of restraint in what Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang said to her, but Chu Liuyan also understood that no matter what he did, in Yingtian City, he still had to make a false statement to Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is still the head of Yingtiancheng, although he is saying that he is going to release General Xu Da at the moment, but if there are any other changes in the middle that make Zhu Yuanzhang change his mind, it will be troublesome at that time.

If the news of Wu Guogong's release of Xu Da reaches the Chuzhou generals, it is difficult to guarantee that the more than 100,000 people in Chuzhou will not have any changes, if these Chuzhou soldiers and horses rebel, I am afraid that the situation will not be easy to clean up.

Thinking of this, Chu Liuyan turned around and said to Bai Chousheng and the generals under Xu Da beside him: "Now that Wu Guogong has agreed to our request, you can quickly return to the camp, no matter how the situation will develop, now we have to prepare for the battle, and when I return to the camp with General Xu Da, this army hopes that you and others can be ready to face the battle, no matter what, you must block the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang from Yingtian City." ”

Bai Chousheng nodded at Chu Liuyan, and then took a group of generals under Xu Da's command with happy faces to give a salute to Wu Guogong, and then withdrew from the signing room of Wu Guogong's mansion.

Chu Liuyan saw that the generals under Xu Da's command were all out of the room, so he said to Zhu Yuanzhang, Duke of Wu, "Duke Wu, if you have something to do, I will wait here." ”

After speaking, Chu Liuyan took a chair, then moved it to the side and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Chu Liuyan is here for a while, just this place, it shouldn't hinder Wu Guogong's important military affairs, right?" If Wu Guogong thinks it's inappropriate, Chu Liuyan can go out first. ”

Seeing that Chu Liuyan wanted to see General Xu Da so eagerly, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile dumbly and said: "Since Chu Junshi doesn't dislike this place, then please wait here, after the national prince instructed Li Junshi to do a few things, he will naturally go to see General Xu Da with Chu Junshi." ”

Chu Liuyan smiled and arched his hand at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Since Wu Guogong ordered so, then I will not avoid suspicion, and I will wait here for Wu Guogong." ”

Saying that, Chu Liuyan swung his body and sat down.

Li Shanchang's face was a little gloomy, he suffered a lot of dark losses in Chu Liuyan's hands today, but Li Shanchang also understood that now was not the time to fight with Chu Liuyan, only after he really grasped Chu Liuyan's handle and could expel Chu Liuyan, he could do it.

"Master Li, I will immediately write a letter to the general Lian Chengjue in Chuzhou, please go to the barracks in Chuzhou in person, and hand over this letter to General Lian Chengjue." Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, instructed Li Shanchang to say without hesitation, and did not shy away from Chu Liuyan on the side.

Li Shanchang hurriedly replied; "Wu Guogong, please rest assured, his subordinates will personally deliver the letter to General Lianchengjue in Chuzhou, and there will be no delay."

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed slightly and said: "This is very good, I am also worried about this matter, if the virtuous brother can do one or two things for him, the current situation will be much easier to deal with." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang came to the side of the case where he sat on weekdays, thought calmly for a while, and then spread out the paper and pen, sighed and ink, and then began to write.

Chu Liuyanzi looked at it for a while, and did not have any special words, but just described today's situation, and Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning on the letterhead was also very clear, that is, he hoped that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Chuzhou would not take this matter as a matter of mind, and still support Wu Guogong to fight against the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han. As long as the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang can be blocked outside Yingtian City, and the Han army is not allowed to have a chance to conquer the city, Zhu Yuanzhang will naturally treat Lian Chengjue and his generals well.
