Does he Qi Heng really think that his side can face more than one million troops?

Thinking about this, Timur's heart gradually had an idea.

"Okay, I can promise you that I will immediately transfer my army to the north. However, can you tell me why you think you can deal with the attack of these two forces, if you don't come to me, this begging letter can not only solve the army of more than 500,000 people, but also rely on us to solve the troubles of one side for you, why not? ”

In the face of Toto's sincere inquiry, Qi Heng only smiled slightly and said, "In my opinion, since we defeated Xiangguo's 150,000 army under Huanggang City, there is no one in the entire southeast who can pose a threat to us. ”

Totoku said disapprovingly: "Then Chen Youliang, who has gathered an army of six or seven hundred thousand people in Tianwan, is much stronger than you. ”

Qi Heng said without moving: "Chen Youliang conspired against the army, if the name is not right, the words are not good, and the army's heart is unstable. Although he relied on brutal means to temporarily entrap the people below, this was only temporary, and after a long time, the decline appeared, and he would collapse without us doing anything at all. ”

For Qi Heng's evaluation, Totoku does not deny it.

In just a few months, Chen Youliang went from being a commander of the Tianwan Righteous Army to now the king of Han across three provinces.

The means are really not very pretty.

It is often the trickery that traps and kills the Lord, so that it has today's momentum.

But he has too much territory under his command, and too many troops.

It's not like being a thief, with a dozen or twenty people under him, as long as he slaughters the master and scares his subordinates.

In the future, as time passes, these methods of his will be spurned.

When the time comes, the subordinates who take the initiative to rebel will rise one after another.

Of course, Chen Youliang naturally has his own countermeasures.

This is not mentioned for now.

Immediately, Totok mentioned Zhang Shicheng in the southeast and said, "What about Zhang Shicheng? The territory he stole was a land of fish and rice, and in just a few years, it has grown to the scale of hundreds of thousands today, shouldn't he be vulnerable? ”

Qi Heng said: "Zhang Shicheng is stubborn, and it is not difficult to deal with him. ”

Looking at the young boy in front of him, he really didn't know how to describe it.

Chen Youliang has hundreds of thousands of troops, and Zhang Shicheng has hundreds of thousands of troops.

In the whole world, it is also the premier prince.

But in his eyes, they are all vulnerable existences, and they can be destroyed.

Say he's arrogant.

But the ability is real, and I have learned it myself.

I couldn't help but feel old for a moment.

Once upon a time, he was like the boy in front of him, his eyes were empty.

Thinking of this, Totoh suddenly got up and said to Qi Heng in front of him: "Okay, since you have been prepared, then the prime minister will look at the north and see what kind of means you have." ”

Seeing this, Qi Heng also achieved the purpose of his trip, got up and bowed his hand to Timur, and said, "Farewell." ”

After that, Qi Heng took Chen Du and Junya beside him and walked towards the bottom of the mountain together.

As Qi Heng left, Timur looked at the back of them leaving, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

Beside him, a personal guard couldn't help but say, "Xiangguo, just let them go?" If you mobilize a large army at this moment and take them by surprise, you may be able to save the young lady and keep them at the same time. ”

After looking back at him, Timur said slowly: "Although I look at Qi Heng on the surface, it seems that he wins with tricks every time and likes to use dangerous tactics, but he is by no means a reckless person. Although Saren is in his hands, he should also know that Benxiang is not a person who will give up such an opportunity to kill a thief because of his daughter. ”

"In that case, he still dares to come here and make a deal with me in front of the 530,000 army under the mountain, do you think he will have no back?"

After speaking, he looked at the mountain on the side and said: "This hated old mountain stretches for dozens of miles, they really want to escape, even if our army of hundreds of thousands, how can we find them in this chaotic mountain range?" ”

Hearing Timur's words, his subordinates nodded.

"Xiangguo, then we really want to go north according to his words?"

Tokhtar Timur did not speak, and after a moment of silence, he said: "What if you don't go north?" As soon as the begging letter arrives at the imperial court, the will of the imperial court will follow, and when we stay here, we can only attract firepower for them and share the pressure, in this case, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the begging letter has not been sent to the imperial court, we will go north first, and when the time comes, the imperial court will not say anything on the grounds of attacking King Xiaoming. ”

"The reason why Qi Heng is here today is to tell me the news in advance, so that I can go north one step earlier, otherwise when the will of the imperial court arrives, whether it is Chen Youliang or Zhang Shicheng, can we still disobey the will?"

"However, the prime minister still can't figure out what means this Qi Heng has to dare to face this army of more than one million alone, and why, he has to drive us away.............

Listening to Timur's words, the subordinates on the side were also puzzled.

Qi Heng's behavior is really weird.

It's like you're looking for a dead end.

Trapped in a desperate situation.

On the way down the mountain.

Qi Heng looked at Jun Ya beside him as he walked, and said with a smile: "You really don't go to find your father?" ”

Junya shook her head.

Qi Heng was really a little incomprehensible to the thoughts of these Mongolian women, and shook his head.

Let her follow her.

.................

On the castle tower.

Chen Youliang took his son Chen Shan to climb the city tower together.

Looking at the Yangtze River in the distance, Chen Youliang seemed to sigh with emotion and said: "How many heroes and heroes, broken halberds and sunk in the sand, buried in this vast river." ”

Listening to Chen Youliang's words, Chen Shan hurriedly boasted: "Now that my father has reigned on the Yangtze River and won the Central Plains, millions of heroes have thrown their whips to cut off the stream, and they are like exploring the world." ”

For his son's praise, Chen Youliang is still very useful.

However, he still taught: "Shan'er, it is too rash for you to say that. ”

Just when Chen Youliang was about to say something, a soldier on the side suddenly shouted loudly and cheered: "King Han, King Han is overjoyed!" King Han! ”

Looking at the person in front of him, Chen Youliang smiled and said, "Brother Wu, where does this joy come from?" ”

The general on the opposite side hurriedly said: "King Han, the squire of Quarry Town wants to offer a golden couch!" ”

Just as Chen Youliang was about to say something, the general in front of him pulled him outside the lobby.

Looking at the golden couch on the high platform, the old man on the side who offered the treasure hurriedly said: "O king, eighty years ago, that is, on the day the old man was born, it was the first day of the eighth month, and suddenly there was a rainstorm in the sky, and it was lightning and thunder. ”

"According to my father, I saw a golden dragon appear in the night sky!"

"It's only the head, not the tail!"

"A thousand flames of fire in his mouth."

"Shooting ten thousand flashes directly at the Yangtze River embankment, there is really a tendency for the sky to collapse and the earth to crack!"

Listening to the old man's words, Chen Youliang smiled knowingly in his heart.

At this time, the old man continued: "After sunrise, my father took the squire to climb the Dragon Mountain, and found that the Dragon King Temple on the mountain was gone. ”

"The Dragon King Temple, but it is three times larger than this hall, but in an instant, it becomes invisible."

"What's even more amazing is that in the place where the statue of the dragon lord is made, a golden couch was dug up, which is the golden couch in front of me."

"Later, I learned that this golden couch was left by the Han Emperor. The father risked death to keep it and pass it down from generation to generation, and today, the old man dedicates it to the king. ”

But Chen Youliang said calmly: "Why do you want to dedicate it to me? ”

The old man asked, "Does the king want to restore the Han Dynasty?" ”

Chen Youliang said: "Of course. ”

The old man waved his hand: "King, it seems that you are the dragon vein of the Han Emperor, dormant in the Jiang and Han Dynasty, thousands of years later, in troubled times, the Han Emperor used lightning to create this golden couch, this is to make you obedient to the destiny of heaven, inherit the throne, save the people of the world in the fire and water, the dragon chanted all over the world, and clarified the nine heavens!" ”

Listening to the old man's eloquent narration, many generals on the side looked at Chen Youliang and said, "King! This is providence! ”

Listening to everyone's words, Chen Youliang smiled.

But suddenly, his face changed, he raised his hand, and said firmly: "No! ”

"I'm not an emperor."

In the face of everyone's persuasion again, Chen Youliang said slowly: "If it is undecided today, the smoke is everywhere, and the heroes of the north and south all have hidden ambitions, and they all covet the emperor's throne, I, Chen Youliang, am an understanding person, why bother to sit on this dragon chair and roast." Furthermore, how can I, Chen Youliang, dare to occupy a big position? ”

After saying that, he walked out alone.

Seeing Chen Youliang's statement, many generals immediately surrounded Chen Youliang's son and said, "Your Highness, you have to persuade the king!" ”

"Your Highness, once the king ascends the throne, you will be the crown prince."

“.........”

In the face of everyone's persuasion, Chen Shan arched his hand to everyone and said, "List as uncle." ”

After speaking, he whispered: "I understand my father's thoughts, it's not that my father doesn't want to be the emperor, it's just that he ..... Can't be so rash......"

Then the crowd gathered together and began to deliberate in a whisper.

Day 2.

Just as Chen Youliang was walking in his yard, more than a dozen brothers suddenly appeared in front of him.

Seeing them walking towards him one by one, Chen Youliang wondered, "What are you doing here?" ”

But it was good that he didn't say anything, and as soon as he said that, the people came to his side and lifted him up.

Chen Youliang shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! ”

But none of the brothers listened to him, carried him out of the house, forcibly changed into a dragon robe, and came to the golden couch again.

Then, the enthronement ceremony prepared in advance began.

Countless generals gathered below him and shouted at Chen Youliang on the stage: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After shouting, he knelt on the ground.

And Chen Youliang on the stage said with a bitter face: "You have hurt me, you have hurt me!" ”

As the enthronement ceremony progresses.

Seeing that things could not be violated, Chen Youliang had no choice but to accept it.

The originally bitter face gradually appeared with a smile.

A former fisherman was from the same poor background as Zhu Yuanzhang.

Now he has crossed countless classes in the middle, and finally ascended to the dragon chair.

In my heart at this moment, how can I be unhappy.

Chen Youliang at such a moment.

Longping Mansion, in the imperial palace of the capital city under Zhang Shicheng.

Zhang Shicheng was also sitting on the dragon chair at the moment, watching the dancing of the dancers in the center of the field with many civil servants and military generals under his command.

The desk was full of wine and meat.

In the environment of singing and dancing, Zhang Shicheng's face was full of drunkenness, and a concubine beside him was pressing his shoulder and beating his back.

At this time, a subordinate came to his side and said, "King, the inner government has sent two urgent messages. ”

Zhang Shicheng didn't bother to look at it, and asked, "Where did you come from?" ”

The subordinate replied: "One frame is from Jianghan Chen Youliang, and the other frame is from Jinling Zhu Yuanzhang." ”

After hearing the origin of these two urgent items, Zhang Shicheng suddenly waved his hand to the dancers below.

The singing and dancing music stopped instantly.

The civil and military ministers on both sides of the stage all looked at Zhang Shicheng on the stage.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Shicheng said to the people below: "Go." ”

In the lobby.

Although he changed places, the concubine who was beating his back and pressing his shoulders by Zhang Shicheng's side was still there.

After carefully reading the two letters, Zhang Shicheng smiled and said to the civil and military officials below: "Today is a double happiness. ”

"Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang, the two heroes have come to beg me."

Then he said proudly: "Rank ministers, let's discuss and discuss." ”

Listening to Zhang Shicheng's words, Zhang Shixin, who was in the first place on the right side of the audience, suddenly got up and arched his hand, and said to Zhang Shicheng on the stage: "King, Chen Youliang This letter seems respectful, but in fact, it is to give us an order with the respect of the Han Emperor." ”

He asked the king to attack and eliminate Zhu Yuanzhang in the north and south, and then divide the land equally, in contrast, Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was much more deferential, he asked the king to enter the throne, lead the Jiangnan rebel army, and ask for orders to be the vanguard to exterminate the traitor Chen Youliang. Ministers, although neither of them can be trusted, but Chen Youliang is more hateful in comparison. ”

"He is a murderer who usurps the throne, and he is ruthless, and he must not be trusted."

On the other side, an official who looked like a strategist stood up and said to Zhang Shicheng: "The current situation is the most powerful for the king, at present, Chen and Zhu are already fire and water for each other, and the king can control the world with a single move, this is a good opportunity for the ages, don't miss it." ”

The minister suggested that he immediately march to Guangdong, Hunan and other places. Take back all the territory occupied by those grass robbers and increase our strength. ”

"The king, even Chen Youliang dares to be called the emperor, the king should have ascended the throne a long time ago. The minister knocked on the king, chose a day to ascend the throne, and changed the Yuan to build the country! ”

Another subordinate also echoed: "That is, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the land of fish and rice, rich in the world, the king, when will you stay if you are not the emperor at this time?" ”

As the leader put forward the proposal to become emperor, the rest of the people also echoed it.

And Zhang Shicheng on the stage, listening to the suggestions of the people below, seemed to have already made up his mind, and he didn't want to listen to the suggestions of these subordinates at all, so he said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, are you hungry?" ”

Everyone present who heard this was stunned.

I don't understand what Zhang Shicheng means by this.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Zhang Shicheng smiled and said, "If you are not hungry, I am hungry." ”

"Let's have a feast, let's talk about it when we're drunk and full."

At the feast.

Zhang Shicheng, who was full of ambition, hugged the concubine beside him into his arms, and then asked under the gaze of many subordinates in the field: "You say, do you think it is better for me to beat Zhu Yuanzhang, or to beat Chen Youliang?" ”

This concubine also seemed to understand Zhang Shicheng's temperament, and said with a smile: "It's not good." ”

"Why?"

"Don't fight, it's best to live a peaceful and happy life."

Hearing this, Zhang Shicheng laughed three times and said, "Not bad, it's good, when it comes to the heart of this king, hahahahaha." ”

With the singing and dancing again, everyone was once again immersed in pleasure.

During this period, Zhang Shicheng seemed to have made a decision in his heart.

Suddenly stopped singing and dancing, and then pushed the beauty in his arms to the side, and said to the people below: "This king has made up his mind,"

Then he said to his younger brother Zhang Shixin: "Prime Minister Zhang." ”

"In!"

Replying to Chen Youliang, this king agreed to all his requests. Immediately sent troops to attack Zhu Yuanzhang. ”

Zhang Shixin, who heard this, arched his hand and said: "Obey!" ”

After that, he left to prepare.

Zhang Shicheng on the stage frowned: "Don't worry. ”

"Where else."

Feeling Zhang Shixin's puzzled gaze, Zhang Shicheng said: "At the same time, I wrote back to Zhu Yuanzhang and told him that this king fulfilled all his wishes." Send troops to help him defend against Chen Youliang. ”

Zhang Shixin, who was puzzled, arched his hand and said, "Obey." ”

And Zhang Shicheng looked back at the other side and said, "Song Dashuai." ”

"The last general!"

"Order the three armies, stand still, watch the fire from the other side, and wait for its changes!"

"Yes!"

After speaking, Zhang Shicheng smiled proudly and said: "This is the best policy to protect the border and the people." ”

"When these two heroes are exhausted and defeated, we will suddenly start and reap the big profits!"

As soon as Zhang Shicheng's voice fell, the subordinates below praised one after another.

"The king's resourcefulness is unparalleled in the world!"

"Hahahaha........"

...............

Outside Jinling City.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood anxiously at the door, and said to the big tiger beside him with some concern: "Madame has been gone for a few days now?" ”

Dahu said: "Back to Dashuai, Madame has been gone for five days. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said worriedly: "There won't be anything wrong on this road." ”

Now there is a commotion everywhere.

The place where Ma Xiuying went was not in their territory, and she couldn't help worrying.

But it's useless to just think about it here, Zhu Yuanzhang simply said to the guards beside him: "Big tiger and two tigers, in this way, you each lead 200 people to Qingtian by different roads, so that there is a response." ”

"If you meet Madame, bring her back to us as soon as possible, you know?"

The big tiger and the second tiger arched their hands and said: "The subordinates obey the order!" ”

Qingtian County, on Qianxia Lake.

Ma Xiuying and the maid Yu'er sat on the boat together, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Qianxia Lake in Qingtian County.

There is no sense of urgency.

The surface of the lake is sparkling.

Ma Xiuying and Yu'er's faces were full of smiles.

In the small boat behind them, several soldiers dressed in the service of peasants and guarded with swords.

Cross the Qianxia Lake and cross a bamboo forest trail.

According to the news inquired, he slowly came to the bamboo house where Liu Bowen was.

Looking at this small and elegant bamboo house, Ma Xiuying couldn't help but smile and said: "These literati will still enjoy it, Yu'er, look at this bamboo house, how comfortable it is to live." It's much more comfortable than our Marshal's Mansion. ”

Yu'er on the side was also smiling.

In these years, women are bound by feudal etiquette and religion, and it is rare to have the opportunity to go out.

Not to mention the wandering around.

In the past few days, I have also been in a much more open mood.

Coming to the door of the bamboo house, Ma Xiuying stretched out her hand to push open the courtyard door, looked at the people lying on the bamboo chairs in the courtyard, and motioned for Yu'er to step forward, while she withdrew from the courtyard.

Yu'er, who knew about it, walked lightly to the back of the bamboo chair and looked at Liu Bowen lying on it. 、

Liu Bowen, who originally thought he was a member of the family, ignored it at first and waited for the other party to speak.

But after waiting for a while, seeing that the other party didn't make a sound, he realized something in his heart, and hurriedly opened his eyes and looked over.

When he saw Yu'er behind him, he immediately said in surprise: "Miss Yu'er." ”

Yu'er smiled obediently and said, "Yu'er has asked Lord Liu to say goodbye." ”

Although Liu Bowen had realized something at this moment, he still pretended to have an expression of ignorance, hurriedly stopped Yu'er's greeting, and said, "Don't don't, Miss Yu'er is here, what's the matter?" ”

Yu'er smiled and said, "There is a lady who is thirsty and wants to ask you for a cup of tea. ”

At this time, Liu Bowen looked out the door.

The moment he saw Ma Xiuying, he made up his mind.

also secretly admired Qi Heng's uncertain prophet.

However, on the surface, he still pretended to have an expression that he never knew, sighed, and hurriedly stepped forward.

And Ma Xiuying, who was on the other side, also said at this time: "Berwyn." ”

But Liu Bowen hurriedly interrupted Ma Xiuying's words and said, "Madame doesn't have to say anything, Berwen understands." ”

When Ma Xiuying heard this, she hurriedly said, "Really? ”

Liu Bowen nodded seriously: "Really." ”

Ma Xiuying breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Thank you." You've given me a lot of face. ”

Liu Bowen hurriedly waved his hand.

And Ma Xiuying continued: "Berwyn, I prepared a stomach, but I didn't expect that it would be useless. ”

Liu Bowen said: "Madame came here without avoiding danger, this is more important than anything else. In the next roundabout, it's time to know the fun. Madam, this is not Anhui, it is better to leave early than to go late, and at dawn tomorrow, we will go back to Jinling. ”

Ma Xiuying said: "Don't! ”

"Don't, you, you're so beautiful, I haven't seen enough. Stay two days and go back. Besides, don't let the big man think that it is so easy to invite you, let's let him be anxious. ”

Liu Bowen, who heard this, couldn't help but smile.

"Madame really thinks that the landscape of Qingtian is very good?"

Ma Xiuying said: "Of course. ”

Liu Bowen clapped his hands and said: "I really let Mrs. say, this world only knows the three mountains and five mountains, the green buildings of the West Lake, and the vulgar!" ”

"They don't know that we also have ten beautiful scenery in Qingtian, and these beautiful scenery are no worse than those famous mountains and rivers."

"Tomorrow as soon as it dawns, no, before dawn, I will accompany my wife to see the scene. This is the first scene, the sunrise in Qingtian. ”

Hearing this, looking at Liu Bowen's joy when he talked about his hometown, Ma Xiuying couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, since we all came to you, we naturally have to listen to your arrangement, sir." ”

It was just dawn the next day.

Liu Bowen had already taken Ma Xiuying and others to hurry while looking at the beautiful scenery of Qingtian.

Especially the beautiful scenery of the sunrise at this moment, the red sun slowly rising behind the mountain, and in an excellent viewing position, the scene is really gratifying.

Yu'er on the side couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my God, this is too beautiful!" ”

Looking at this beautiful scenery and the people around him, Liu Bowen thought of his last experience, and couldn't help but sigh.

Ma Xiuying, who was listening to Liu Bowen's sigh on the side, seemed to have something in her heart.

When Liu Bowen finished speaking, he slowly spoke: "Mr. Liu, I want to ask you for something." ”

Liu Bowen said: "Please ask Madame to command." ”

Ma Xiuying said: "The handsome person looks strong on the surface, but in fact, he is sometimes quite fragile in his heart, especially with a good face. If you see him in the future, can you give him some face? ”

Liu Bowen, who had been told by Chen Du earlier, where would he refuse at this moment, and hurriedly said: "Madam, Berwen understands. Please rest assured, Madame. ”

.....................

Jinling City, the Great Marshal's Mansion.

Ma Xiuying, who was tired for a few days and came back all the way, was washing her face in the house at the moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who got the news of Ma Xiuying's return from the side, hurried over.

When Ma Xiuying washed her face, she slowly picked up the towel.

When Ma Xiuying called Yu'er to take the towel, Zhu Yuanzhang handed it over.

Ma Xiuying, who wiped her face, saw Zhu Yuanzhang and immediately said, "It's you." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang held a smile and said, "Sister, I'm back." ”

Ma Xiuying said: "Everyone is standing in front of you, and you still ask me if I have come back." ”

Ma Xiuying, who seemed to know what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to ask, held back nothing and slowly came to the chair next to her and sat down.

Thinking that he was going to lose his smile again, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly sent Yu'er out.

Yu'er also understood, and withdrew with a smile.

Seeing that Ma Xiuying hadn't spoken, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but come over and said, "Sister, hehe, what about people?" ”

Ma Xiuying asked knowingly, "Who?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened: "Liu Bowen." ”

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's anxious appearance, Ma Xiuying smiled lightly and said, "I asked him to go back to the Lixian Pavilion first, and people have to rest, don't they?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "Yes, you have to rest, you have to rest." ”

Then he asked suspiciously: "Sister, why did you invite him back?" ”

Ma Xiuying sighed and said, "But it took me a lot of effort, this Liu Bowen is arrogant and has too strong self-esteem." ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "People are also respectful, afraid and angry with you, I am so good at talking, and I finally moved him after a lot of hard work." ”

"Now, he has completely realized Zhu Dashuai's sincerity."

"Promise me that from now on, you will be loyal to the commander and never regret dying."

Hearing this last sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but say, "Yo, really? ”

Ma Xiuying said: "I don't believe you, I don't believe that you will see if he will admit his mistake after seeing you later." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't expect such a result, and said in surprise: "We, why didn't we find out that you were a female Zhuge earlier?" ”

Ma Xiuying said: "Such an obvious thing, you only see it now?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "I am convinced, I am really convinced." ”

However, Ma Xiuying still instructed: "In the future, you still have to be respectful to others, literati, fragile!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed: "Yes, yes, you are right, they are both fragile and delicate." ”

After speaking, his face was full of recognition.

didn't know that Ma Xiuying on the side had lowered her head and laughed for a long time.

Reigenkan.

Liu Bowen, who had just walked into the back door of the Lixian Pavilion, met Li Shanchang, who had been waiting here for a long time.

The two of them who almost cut off their robes before leaving, but after meeting at this moment, they were like best friends who had not seen each other for a long time, and Li Shanchang stepped forward with a pretentious hand and said to Liu Bowen: "Ouch, Brother Berwyn, you have been gone for a few days, but I have been living like a year, how many things are going on inside and out, and I am busy with it." ”

"I'll tell you the truth, sometimes I even dream that it would be nice if Liu Bowen was here, he would definitely lift his weight and solve problems. Save the building in the future, return to the sky in the ......"

But before he finished speaking, even Liu Bowen couldn't listen to it anymore, and hurriedly said: "Brother Shan, there is no need for us to quarrel with each other, since we are serving the same master, you and I have to work with one heart and one mind." Only in this way can the two of us live easily and happily. What does the good elder brother think? ”

Li Shanchang didn't know whether it was true or false, so he made an expression of agreement and said, "That's right." ”

Liu Bowen continued: "Another one, you know all the faults below, longer than words, and shorter than deeds. I can do it, but I will never be able to deal with those complicated military, political and civil affairs. And that's what you're best at. It is also the most important thing in the Marshal's Mansion, and this alone will never cross you in the next place, so your position as the first assistant next to the Marshal will not be moved, and there will be no one to replace. ”

Hearing this, Li Shanchang said again: "Brother Berwyn, it is better to be kind and good-minded. The donor hereby apologizes! ”

Liu Bowen said: "From now on, Berwin will regard the good elder brother as the superior and be willing to live below. Work together with one heart and one mind! ”

Li Shanchang may have been moved by Liu Bowen's sincere words, and said with a slightly excited expression: "Brother Berwyn, please!" ”

But I haven't walked a few steps yet.

Outside the hall of the Lixian Pavilion, Xu Da and the others led a group of generals in the army and shouted respectfully in front of Liu Bowen: "I have made amends to Mr. Liu!" ”

After Xu Da's words were finished, all the generals on the side also shouted.

Liu Bowen hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

The Marshal's Mansion.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked back and forth in his study.

anxiously waiting for Liu Bowen's arrival.

Now the rebel army, although the government affairs were chaotic before, but after Qi Heng came to Jinling, these days, the government affairs have been basically unimpeded.

Normal politics is no longer a problem.

But in order to let himself face the complex situation in front of him alone, Zhu Yuanzhang still endured and did not recall Qi Heng.

Therefore, what he urgently needs at the moment is a strategist who can win thousands of miles away!

And this person is none other than Liu Bowen.

At the very least, several predictions made by Liu Bowen when he left Jinling City have all been fulfilled.

So in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Liu Bowen is the person he needs the most at present.

Plan the big picture.

On the contrary, a subordinate like Li Shanchang, who is good at governance, is not so urgent.

At the same time, thinking of the scene where he scolded Liu Bowen and told him to get out before, but now he wants someone to come back to assist, no matter how he says it, it looks a little bad on his face.

So at this moment, it is inevitable that there is some embarrassment in my heart.

Sitting on a chair for a while, he put on the momentum of a superior person.

After a while, he put on a serious expression, waiting for the other party to admit his mistake.

But when the door of the study sounded and the door was pushed, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately walked out with a smiling face.

Waiting for Liu Bowen to come in.

After thinking about it, I finally chose to go back to the chair.

Pretend to be reading a book.

At this time, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen walked in together.

After Liu Bowen came in, he didn't say a word, knelt directly in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and said: "Liu Bowen knocked on the big handsome, please ask the big handsome to surrender." ”

Seeing Liu Bowen seeing him, he bowed down, and kept saying that he was guilty, and he couldn't pretend to be serious anymore, so he got up and came to Liu Bowen with a smile, and quickly helped him up.

"Berwyn, it's back, it's good to come back, come on, come on, get up, get up, good, great, come, sit down."

After speaking, he waved to Li Shanchang at the door and said, "Come, Shanchang, come, come in and sit." ”

Then he sat on the chair next to Liu Bowen with an embarrassed face, and said embarrassedly: "Berwyn, tell you something ugly, ah, hehe." ”

"We've already surrendered to the Yuan Court."

"Not only that, but I also flattered Zhang Shicheng."

"Originally, we didn't want to kneel on one leg, but now it's good, both legs are kneeling for these dog monggrels."

After saying that, he laughed awkwardly.

But Liu Bowen on the side did not have the slightest ridicule on his face, but respectfully arched his hand and said: "The handsome move is gratifying." ”

"I only thought of surrendering to the Yuan Court. Unexpectedly, the marshal also deceived Zhang Shicheng. ”

"What the handsome man did is really unpredictable. Either you don't do it, or you have to go one step further. I admire it below. ”

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's face eased a little after hearing Liu Bowen's words, he still said embarrassedly: "Don't comfort us, we are deceiving and descending, ugly, too ugly." ”

But Liu Bowen said: "Dashuai, don't you remember that you admire Emperor Han Gaozu the most?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Liu Bowen said: "He, in order to fight for the world, he also did a lot of ugly things. It is said that when Liu Bang received Peng Yue, he also pretended to beg to surrender, and then took advantage of the chaos to march. In the end, they will mess up their army and cut off their heads. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard this, suddenly realized, he didn't expect this Liu Bang to do such a thing.

However, then he looked at Li Shanchang on the side suspiciously, and asked, "Sir, you have told us about the history of the Han Dynasty, why don't we remember this paragraph?" ”

Liu Bowen, who heard this, was stunned.

And Li Shanchang on the side stammered a little, thought about it carefully for a long time, and couldn't remember where there was such a paragraph, and finally reluctantly explained: "This, this Han history, is as vast as a sea of smoke, I didn't finish it last time, and I will talk about it later." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

At this time, Erhu outside the door walked in and said to Zhu Yuanzhang inside: "Dashuai, the banquet is ready." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, then looked back at Liu Bowen and said with a smile: "Bowen, let's pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

Hearing this, Liu Bowen nodded first, and then requested: "Boss, Madame has really worked hard all the way, can you please say hello to Madame first and apologize." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang understood Liu Bowen's thoughts, so he said: "Well, it should, it really should." ”

"So, good man, go with Berwyn, and take Madame up when you come, and we will wait for you there."

Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang nodded towards Zhu Yuanzhang in unison and said, "Yes!" ”

Walked out of Zhu Yuanzhang's study.

The two walked towards the backyard of the Marshal's Mansion together.

Feeling the slightest drizzle falling from the sky, Li Shanchang smiled and said, "It's raining." ”

Liu Bowen also said with emotion: "The silver filament is falling head-on." ”

Li Shanchang on the side said: "When the rain is flying. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After laughing, Li Shanchang couldn't help but ask, "Berwyn, I'm really ashamed." What did you just say about Han Gaozu's surrender to Peng Yue, which history book did you just say, why haven't I seen it? ”

Liu Bowen, who asked Li Shanchang face-to-face, said, "Eh, you let me think about it." ”

"It was still on my lips just now, but I can't remember when you asked me to ask that."

But Li Shanchang still said to the bottom of the matter: "There is definitely no one in the Han book, and there will be no one in the official history, it must be the wild history." Isn't it, the notes of the Reading Wind Building? ”

"It doesn't seem to be."

"What about Xianyang?"

"Not really."

"What about Menggutai Spring and Autumn?"

"Han Shi Gou Shen?"

But Liu Bowen shook his head.

Li Shanchang said helplessly: "Which book is it?" If you think about it, I'm going to give a lecture to my superiors the next day, and if he asks, I'll be embarrassed. ”

Hearing this, Liu Bowen finally understood why Li Shanchang was so inquisitive. couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Shan, forgive the sin, Liu Bang's surrender to Peng Yue is not in the history of the Qing Dynasty, nor in the official history, it is made up by me." I'm saying that I slipped my mouth. ”

Seeing this, Li Shanchang said speechlessly: "Why are you doing this?" ”

Liu Bowen smiled: "First, I came to comfort the handsome. Second, although the history books do not contain the world's unknown, I believe that Liu Bang must have done many things that cannot be put on the table. What kind of hate, embarrassment, otherwise, he can't be the emperor. Especially the famous emperors. Do you say? ”

Li Shanchang helplessly pointed at Liu Bowen and said: "Liu Bowen, Liu Bowen, you, you are really hated sometimes." A few fluttering words tricked me, causing me to think hard for a long time without landing, you, what an unpredictable person. ”

Liu Bowen retorted: "I'm not, the handsome man is the unpredictable person." ”

While saying this, Liu Bowen also added a person's name in his heart.

It's just that you can't say it at this time.

Li Shanchang on the side asked, "What do you say?" ”

Liu Bowen said slowly: "Brother Shan, you really didn't see it? ”

"See what?"

"The grief and indignation that the big marshal showed just now, self-blame, half true, half false. Half is indignant, half is acting, and the handsome man is really unpredictable. Liu Bowen sighed at the scene when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang today.

While recalling in his mind what happened to him when he met Chen Du in the bamboo house, he had been guessing Qi Heng's thoughts for the past few days.

It is understandable if Qi Heng can know everything that happened behind him and Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is understandable that Zhu Yuanzhang has always been jealous.

But why did he do this to himself, and why did he send someone to him?

His own existence does not seem to be important to Qi Heng.

Nor is it necessary.

With Qi Heng's talent, there is no difference at all whether he is by his side or not.

After all, Qi Heng is not Zhu Yuanzhang.

But he thought hard for a few days, but he still couldn't figure it out.

It was only when he rushed to Jinling City in the last few days that he suddenly figured out Qi Heng's true intentions.

For a while, I was full of admiration, and I admired the five-body throw.

It seems that everything that happens in the middle is under Qi Heng's control.

He was thinking before, judging from the situation at the time, Qi Heng must have been clear about the private meeting and conversation between him Liu Bowen and Zhu Yuanzhang.

In that case, why did he take the initiative to come to himself, who had betrayed him on one side of the other?

The answer is simple, because Qi Heng wants such a person.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, such a person who betrayed Qi Heng could not be Qi Heng's person.

Now Qi Heng's merits are high, and smart people can see it.

How could Qi Heng not know.

Although his life experience has resisted some of Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicions for him, when his Qi Heng's credit has really reached the point of no return.

It is not uncommon for the God of history to kill his own son, let alone his brother-in-law, a relative.

On the contrary, the identity of the relatives may give Qi Heng some protection in the early stage, but in the later stage, once the country is established and the world is unified?

It is not uncommon in history for foreign relatives to have great power and disasters to the country and the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang is such a diligent person, would he not know?

What will happen then?

Now that this Jinling City is in chaos like this, it can be said that it is embattled, but Qi Heng, the general of Huwei, has no trace.

In addition to the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to recall him, was there a reason why Qi Heng himself was unwilling to come back.

He only thought of these when he heard Ma Xiuying mention that Qi Heng was not in Jinling recently on the way back.

According to this line of thought, it is not difficult for Liu Bowen to find out Qi Heng's intention of sending people to see him.

Although Liu Bowen didn't dare to be 100% sure, he vaguely felt that Qi Heng was secretly cultivating a person who could compete with Li Shanchang.

But no matter who he cultivates, as long as he is related to Qi Heng, he will definitely be feared by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Identify him as a person who is Qi Heng.

But no matter how Zhu Yuanzhang cultivates forces on the opposite side to go toe-for-tat with him, can there be anyone who can be stronger than Qi Heng's existence?

This has come and gone, and Qi Heng has become a hidden danger under Zhu Yuanzhang that cannot be eradicated.

Over time, it will become a big problem for Zhu Yuanzhang's henchmen.

Therefore, Qi Heng in order to prevent such a situation from occurring in the future.

That's why I was willing to start retiring on my own initiative.

While secretly helping Zhu Yuanzhang, he was not inconspicuous, so that on the surface, it seemed that Zhu Yuanzhang had solved the dilemma in front of him by relying on his own ability.

When the time comes, the treatment of Qi Heng will naturally no longer be as taboo as in the past.

And Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't need to think hard about who to cultivate to compete with Qi Heng.

Because Qi Heng no longer exists in this system.

On the contrary, Qi Heng's control over the court will not be weakened in the slightest.

Even when he himself did something, it was smoother than before, and he didn't need to think about anything.

Although Liu Bowen was not 100% sure of his conjecture at this time, in his opinion, this matter was inseparable, and he was one of the forces that Qi Heng had secretly cultivated.

In order to take over Qi Heng's control of the court.

When he met Li Shanchang before, what he said was actually because he wanted to take the initiative to show friendship with Li Shanchang after he guessed this.

Hide the connection between himself and Qi Heng in the deepest depths.

And the reason why he sighed that Zhu Yuanzhang was unpredictable just now was that he really felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's mind was elusive, and his seventh point was because he sighed when he thought of Qi Heng.

Just as Liu Bowen was walking and thinking.

Li Shanchang, who was behind him, stood in place and thought about what Liu Bowen had just said.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Liu Bowen said hit the nail on the head.

He muttered in his mouth: "Yes, after you broke your words, I think about it now, and it is true!" That's true! ”

His face was full of horror.

And when he raised his head to look at Liu Bowen, he found that the other party had already walked to the front.

Liu Bowen, who also came back to his senses under Li Shanchang's words, looked at Li Shanchang, who was full of horror, smiled slightly, turned around, and said, "Then you say, why did the handsome do this?" ”

Li Shanchang was puzzled: "There is a reason for this, he is happy." ”

Liu Bowen chuckled and shook his head, thinking about what Qi Heng ordered Chen Du to tell him when he was in the bamboo house, and said, "According to me, Dashuai completely understands in his heart. In the current situation, he must give in to a strong enemy. Otherwise, it will be difficult to protect oneself and it will be even more difficult to win. But for many years, the marshal has been righteous and loyal, and he must not give up the name of loyalty. ”

"He can't damage the dignity of the marshal, so he must show the last resort, great sorrow and great pain in front of the public......."

Hearing this, Li Shanchang suddenly understood his last strategy, why he drove Liu Bowen away so easily.

In fact, it's not that your own strategy is too good.

But in the middle of this, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to be silent.

At such a juncture, Zhu Yuanzhang must maintain his reputation for loyalty.

Therefore, Liu Bowen must go.

And he later went to chase Liu Bowen, because he knew in his heart that Liu Bowen was a capable person.

He can help himself.

Therefore, it is very difficult to choose between letting Liu Bowen go and maintaining his name of loyalty.

Li Shanchang, who wanted to understand this, was even more frightened in his heart.

It turns out that there are so many doorways in places that I can't see.

And he, like a clown, was clearly seen by the people in the audience, but he still thought he had a brilliant plan.

At this time, Liu Bowen suddenly said: "Brother Shan, today's matter is over, let's never mention it again, how about it?" ”

Li Shanchang nodded firmly.

While the two were walking, Li Shanchang looked at Liu Bowen's back in front of him, and said in horror: "You said that the superior is unpredictable, aren't you Liu Bowen also unpredictable?" You, on the surface, are loyal to the superior, but in your heart you are always thinking about the superior. ”

"Alas, it's sad that I'm caught between these two shrewd people......"

But how does he know that there are more than three people on the chessboard today.
