Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, and then seemed to think of something, and asked Liu Bowen: "By the way, Mr. Liu, your surname is Liu, and his surname Liu Bang is also surnamed Liu, does your ancestor have anything to do with Han Gaozu?" ”

Liu Bowen was stunned for a moment, didn't understand the meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's question, and said bluntly: "I don't dare to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix to the ancestor for the ancestors, and the ancestors of the Liu family have nothing to do with the ancestors of the Han Dynasty." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Really not?" ”

Liu Bowen: "Categorically not. ”

Seeing Liu Bowen's appearance and answer, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but say: "Sir, you are high, don't you know how many people are beating around the bush now, trying their best to get in touch with those emperors and generals, surnamed Li, not to say that he is the descendant of Li Shimin." surnamed Zhao, he did not say that he was a descendant of Zhao Kuangyin. ”

"Even Chen Youliang is such a thing, he didn't say that he was surnamed Li in the past, and he changed his surname to Chen because he avoided trouble, it's ridiculous, in order to steal the world, he deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors. I don't even want the name of my ancestors. ”

At this moment, Liu Bowen suddenly said: "Handsome, although the ancestor of the Liu family has nothing to do with the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, the descendants of the Liu family are not as good, but there is a person who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned: "Who?" ”

Liu Bowen got up slowly and arched his hand: "It is below, and the respect of the dragon and phoenix is the handsome you." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen continued to talk about something, a person suddenly walked in outside the tent, and before he came in, he said to Zhu Yuanzhang inside: "Superior, superior!" ”

"Chang Yuchun sent people to report, at dawn today, Chen Youliang suddenly raised troops to attack the mouth of the Jingjiang River, almost breaking the siege, Chang Shuai led the army to fight, only to beat them back, but there were still seven or eight people escaped."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard this, immediately came to Li Shanchang, glared at him and asked, "What about Chen Youliang?!" ”

Li Shanchang said: "Chang Shuai is sure that there is absolutely no Chen Youliang among the escapees, but he still personally led the troops to chase and kill, and strive to not miss the net." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly and said: "I often meet spring dereliction of duty, remember a major demerit, report it to the whole army, and take it as a warning!" ”

Li Shanchang hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Do it!" ”

And after angrily issuing the order to punish Chang Yuchun, Zhu Yuanzhang cautiously began to analyze.

"After the last defeat, Chen Youliang's army was seriously damaged, and now it has no ability to fight us head-on. Therefore, he must want to break out of Poyang Lake and return to Hanyang. And the open terrain of the Najing River Estuary should be Chen Youliang's first choice to break through, and the deployment should be strengthened there, so we have to go there in person. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Liu Bowen behind him: "Mr. Liu, let's talk about it another day." ”

When he had finished speaking, he went out of the tent.

With Zhu Yuanzhang leaving.

Li Shanchang on the side couldn't help but look at Liu Bowen with a smile and said, "Bowen, how is the day?" ”

As he spoke, he came to Liu Bowen's side, picked up a book on the table, and flipped through it.

But Liu Bowen sighed and said: "Speaking of which, I gave a lecture to Dashuai Ri, and he is educating me through the daily lecture." Brother Shan, in the future, you will do this kind of thing, and I will shrink to the side. ”

Li Shanchang laughed and said, "That's really fortunate for you." ”

Lake State.

With the return of the soldiers sent out by Chen Youliang to break through, inside the dragon tent.

The crown prince Chen Shan walked in with a sad face, looking at Chen Youliang on the dragon couch, thinking heavily.

At this moment, Chen Youliang is playing the flute quite leisurely.

Looking at the appearance of his father, Chen Shan thought about it, and still said: "Father, the soldiers who broke through have retreated. It looks like a big defeat. ”

Listening to Chen Shan's words, Chen Youliang said lightly: "If you lose, you will be defeated, I expected it." ”

Chen Shandao: "Father, what should I do next?" ”

Chen Youliang raised his head and sighed, and said slowly: "Three days later, break through from the Jingjiang Estuary. ”

But Chen Shan was anxious: "Father, the mouth of the Jingjiang River is clearly guarded by heavy troops, if you still break through from there, won't you be sent to death?" ”

But Chen Youliang said: "No one dies, how can anyone live." ”

After saying that, he ignored it and continued to play the flute in his hand.

Seeing this, Chen Shan didn't say anything, and retreated silently.

Afternoon.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who returned from the Jingjiang Estuary, had just returned to the Shuai tent and saw Li Shanchang among them.

As Zhu Yuanzhang walked in, Li Shanchang on the seat on one side was busy getting up to salute, but Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and waved his hand and said, "Good chief, sit down." ”

"E,,, Chang Yuchun, I have already cut down all the escapees, and there is indeed no Chen Youliang in it, but ah, we have already sent heavy troops at the mouth of the Jingjiang River to prevent the next time."

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Li Shanchang nodded, and then said what he wanted to say.

"Superior, it's been two months since we left Jinling City, and the soldiers are a little impatient, and they want to eliminate the Han army as soon as possible."

But Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry, and said: "Wait a little longer, Chen Youliang will run out of food, and the ripe fruit will fall from the tree by itself." ”

Li Shanchang nodded: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"Oh, by the way, superior, did you use the Japanese lecture to beat that Liu Bowen?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned: "Huh? That's how much he cares! ”

"What's the matter, you're too careful?"

Li Shanchang hurriedly shook his head and said: "When I went down to invite Liu Bowen, he was teaching the boy to play chess, and he was lonely....."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned: "Lonely? ”

Speechless: "Literati, you are lonely at every turn, why aren't we lonely?" ”

"In this way, send him two fishing rods in a hurry, and you can accompany him to fish if it's okay."

Li Shanchang saw that the foreshadowing was almost done, so he said: "What I mean is that the overall situation here in Poyang Lake has been decided, and Jinling City doesn't know how many things are buried there. Either Liu Bowen will go back first, or he will go back first. ”

Apparently.

Li Shanchang has no power in his hands for a while, especially since there are more and more capable people around Zhu Yuanzhang, and he has a sense of crisis.

So I want to go back as soon as possible and regain control of power.

But Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard this, said directly: "No." ”

"You're both going to have to stay here honestly."

After firmly rejecting Li Shanchang's request, Zhu Yuanzhang said comfortingly: "We can't do without you, whoever is lonely will go fishing, right." ”

Speaking of this, he said suspiciously: "Good elder, is there a little crooked between you and Liu Bowen?" ”

In the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, Li Shanchang also said firmly: "No, absolutely not, Brother Berwyn is talented and knowledgeable, and he gets along with Berwyn, which can be described as a teacher and a friend, which is quite profitable." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Although Liu Bowen is talented, he is longer than words and short than deeds. If you want him to talk about the past and the present, then he is a good hand, and we are very energetic when we listen to it, but if you want him to govern the country and the people and arrange strategies, then he is far less good than you. ”

Speaking of which, Zhu Yuanzhang had already pondered Li Shanchang's thoughts, and immediately said the plan he had been planning for a long time.

"Good man, we just want to entrust you with a heavy responsibility."

Li Shanchang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Please show your superior." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "After defeating Chen Youliang, our ground will expand a lot, and we will add three new provinces in the Guanghuhan area, as well as those state capitals, ........"

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was recalling, Li Shanchang on the side immediately said: "Twelve prefectures, twenty-three prefectures, ninety-six counties, new people, about 8.2 million, all kinds of paddy fields and mountains, about 2.5 million hectares. ”

Listening to Li Shanchang's detailed words, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "We said a long time ago that we can't do without you." Good elder, you immediately formulate a future strategy for governing the Han Dynasty, after defeating Chen Youliang, how to calm the people, how to take care of the government, as well as the deployment and selection of officials at all levels, as well as the prefect of the prefecture and county, and draw up a list for us. ”

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang handed over such a big matter to him, he said humbly: "Superior, such a heavy responsibility, I'm afraid that the good man can't afford it." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "You can bear it!" How capable you are, we know in our hearts, besides, we can send Liu Bowen to help you. ”

Seeing this, Li Shanchang no longer shirked, his heart was ecstatic, but on the surface, he still calmly arched his hand to Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully, and said, "Shanchang takes his life." ”

After saying that, he walked out of the account.

This time, although Zhu Yuanzhang explained to him what he would do, he did not specify his future position.

However, just with the things that are given to him now, in the past, they were all things that the great general Qi Heng could grasp.

What does this mean?

This means that in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he has been quietly focusing some power on his Li Shanchang's hands!

Originally, although he had done a lot of things, his name was only Li Shanchang of Jinling Mansion, and none of them had a way to confront Qi Heng head-on.

In the eyes of outsiders, he, Li Shanchang, has always been one of Qi Heng's subordinates.

Now, the opportunity to break away from Qi Heng's control has come to the eye!

And at this moment, behind Li Shanchang, Zhu Yuanzhang stood in the tent, looking at the back of Li Shanchang walking out, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he said happily in his heart: "It seems that Liu Bang said that the joy of controlling people is endless,,, hehe, although we are separated from Liu Bang for thousands of years, how can we be like two brothers." ”

Two days later in the state of the lake.

Chen Youliang's army has been defeated several times and lost in the breakout, and now the army has fallen apart.

In the eyes of many of the actual controllers of the army, that is, many generals, the Han army is now trapped in Poyang Lake.

Several exits were all heavily guarded by Zhu Yuanzhang.

They have lost the strength to compete with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Since this is the case, many generals began to think about how to survive and how to escape from this Poyang Lake.

also gave birth to some rebellious thoughts.

In this regard, although Chen Youliang is in the center, he also knows it.

Inside the Dragon Tent.

A group of generals came to Chen Youliang one after another, and used the defeat of this breakthrough as an excuse to ask: "Please make your majesty clear to your subordinates, how many days do you have to hold on?" ”

The person who said this was General Wu, who was originally named the generalissimo of Dingxi by Chen Youliang.

Hearing this, Chen Shan, the crown prince beside Chen Youliang, suddenly couldn't sit still.

At this time, he still thought that he was the prince of this big man, and suddenly shouted: "Presumptuous! ”

But General Wu below didn't even look at him, and stared straight at Chen Youliang.

And Chen Youliang is also a master who can afford to let go, and he didn't care about his arrogant words, he directly raised his hand to stop Chen Shan's words, and then said slowly: "Ten days." ”

Listening to Chen Youliang's words, when everyone wanted to ask the reason, Chen Youliang actually laughed to himself and said: "Let me tell you the truth, on the day of the first breakthrough, two messengers had already broken through, and they must have sent my letter to Zhang Shicheng at this time. ”

"And after Zhang Shicheng reads my letter, he will definitely send troops to attack Jinling City as soon as possible."

"When the time comes, Zhu Yuanzhang's nest will not be guaranteed, and it will be difficult to take care of the head and tail, you say, can he still stay here?"

"So, ten days later, it will be the day when we will fight our way out of the encirclement and the dragon will ascend to heaven!"

Everyone present looked at Chen Youliang's confident demeanor, and glanced at each other, and finally resisted the idea of directly rebelling for the time being.

It doesn't do them any good not to rebel.

If Chen Youliang was determined to let them die, then in order to survive, he would naturally rebel and overthrow Chen Youliang.

Even if he takes refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, it is better than dying in Poyang Lake.

But if Chen Youliang really has a way to break out of the encirclement, then for them, it is still more beneficial not to rebel.

At least in the future, after returning to their hometown, even if they are not willing to submit to Chen Youliang's command anymore, they can have countless cities for them to choose from.

But once they rebelled, their Han army had no hope at all.

When I arrived under Zhu Yuanzhang's command, I don't know what kind of situation it will be.

Poyang Lakeside.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had made up his mind to starve him Chen Youliang for a few days, was not in the slightest hurry to attack Chen Youliang.

Instead, he followed the example of a literati and sat down on the edge of the lake and began fishing.

But after fishing for a long time, I didn't catch anything.

couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and directly broke the fishing rod in his hand and threw it aside.

Erhu, who was watching this scene, couldn't help laughing behind Zhu Yuanzhang.

And Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and scolded and said: "Fuck, after fishing all morning, I didn't catch a fish, and I lost a fishing rod. ”

At this moment, a flash message came from the direction of Jinling.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's black-faced Zhang Fei stopped embroidering, waved his hand to the two tigers beside him, and walked towards the handsome camp.

At the same time, many of the generals were summoned.

Inside the tent.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the news in his hand, and his face was full of joy.

said to the many generals in front of him: "Hu Weiyong sent someone to report that in Longping Mansion, Zhang Shicheng was frightened by Chen Youliang's defeat, not only did he not follow Chen Youliang's advice to attack us, but also sent people to bring cattle, sheep and rice noodles to reward our Taihu defenders. ”

"Why is that?"

"He wants to form an alliance with us to jointly drive out the tyrant and seize the world!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's words were finished, all the generals present burst into laughter.

And Liu Bowen on the side said: "It's really smart, I first thought of a way to attack and kill you, but when I saw that I couldn't kill you, I pretended to be a brother with you." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded while continuing: "Oh, by the way, Hu Weiyong still has to be revenged, the Yuan Court suddenly deposed Toto, treated him for some crime of dereliction of duty and defeat, and has escorted him to Dadu to be beheaded!" ”

"Now, let's put our minds at ease."

"When the threats from the north and south of Tianfu are all lifted, we can deal with Chen Youliang with one mind. Oh, has there been any movement on the island in the past two days? ”

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, Chang Yuchun immediately said: "Very well-behaved, this is not a breakthrough, nor a counterattack, just drive a few broken boats every night and go down to the lake to fish and touch crabs, you say, does this Chen Youliang want to go back to his old job and be his fisherman?" ”

"Hahaha!!"

As everyone laughed again, Zhu Yuanzhang instructed after laughing: "Don't be careless, things are always like this, the more there is no movement, the more likely there is a big movement." ”

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, everyone nodded.

And Zhu Yuanzhang continued to instruct: "Within five days, all departments must make all preparations for attack. Xu Da, you are in charge of the infantry, Tang He, you are in charge of the water division. ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Okay, it's okay, let's disperse first."

"Yes!"

With everyone leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly left Liu Bowen behind.

Looking at Liu Bowen, whose face was not very good, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "Bowen, let's see that when you were talking about detachment just now, your face was not very good, and you were not very happy." ”

Liu Bowen didn't hide it, and said directly: "Yes, Dashuai." In the entire Yuan Court, what I admired the most was Toto, but I didn't expect it to end up like this, so I was really sad for him in my heart. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he said: "That blames him for being born at the wrong time, if he was born in the era of Genghis Khan, he would definitely be a big hero!" ”

Hearing these words come out of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth, Liu Bowen was a little surprised for a while.

In recent days, Zhu Yuanzhang seems to have really changed as a person.

Then he hurriedly said: "What the big marshal said is good, it's really good." ”

And Zhu Yuanzhang patted Liu Bowen on the shoulder, knowing that Totok had saved his life at the beginning, so he didn't say anything and let him leave directly.

Outside the city of Hongdu.

As in the past, Qi Heng, who ignored the world, sat by the river and fished.

At the same time, there is a barbecue stove on the side.

Unlike Zhu Yuanzhang, Qi Heng is very interested in this fishing.

Every time he caught one, he asked Chen to roast it on the barbecue stove.

At the same time, it is also sprinkled with some seasonings rewarded by the system, which is full of aroma.

However, just as Qi Heng was about to put away the fishing rod and taste the grilled fish, a secret guard suddenly came to their side and handed a secret report to Chen Du.

Later, it was transferred by Chen Du to Qi Heng.

After putting the fishing rod down for the time being, Qi Heng looked at the contents of the secret report, beckoned to the secret guard, and said, "Has the person arranged it?" ”

"My lord, it's been arranged."

Qi Heng nodded and instructed, "Remember, you must make a move when he is desperate." ”

The dark guard nodded solemnly and said, "Yes!" ”

Looking at the secret guard who left, Qi Heng only thought about it for a while, then changed his face again, looked at the grilled fish in front of him with a smile, sniffed it, and said, "Hmm.... Fragrant! ”

Looking at Qi Heng's enjoyment, Chen Du on the side couldn't help but say while fiddling with the grilled fish in front of him: "My lord, now you have this mind and are still fishing here." ”

"The handsome man hasn't looked for you for many days, and you're not in a hurry."

"Da Shuai is too, I think it was the adults who desperately rescued him at the beginning, but now it's good, the matter is solved, and you will be left aside."

Listening to Chen Du's words, Qi Heng didn't care, as if all his thoughts were on the grilled fish in front of him, and said casually: "If I don't look for you at this time, it's not necessarily a bad thing." ”

"Hurry up, turn over, it's mushy!"
