Chapter 71: Xu Da's doubts, the master in the capital
Xu Da did not doubt Zhu Yuanzhang's decision, and the emperor's decision to recall him back to the capital was strange in itself.
Even if he was angry at Kong Kejian's behavior, he didn't have to let a commander of the army personally press an old and weak person back.
The war of the Northern Expedition was originally urgent, and his return to Beijing as the commander of the army would definitely have an impact on the battle on the front line, unless Zhu Yuanzhang, who was the commander of the Ming army, thought that it was more important for him to let Xu Da come back.
"What I'm going to say to you next may be a bit fantastical, but you have to remember and don't ask why?"
Zhu Yuanzhang put down his wine glass with a serious expression, Xu Da knew that the emperor was not joking, and quickly knelt down to receive the order.
"You give me a good look at Chang Yuchun, don't let this guy work too hard, especially next year, pay attention to let him combine work and rest......"
"Huh!?"
Zhu Yuanzhang organized a language opening, he himself felt very strange, he wanted to explain Xu Da, but he didn't know what to say?
Xu Da really looked confused, and he had a posture that I couldn't understand what the emperor said.
Lao Zhu sighed, this matter was not explained clearly in the letter and he let Xu Da come back.
He didn't write to the front line to warn Chang Yuchun, Chang Yuchun was greatly moved, and replied with a letter saying that he was willing to smear the liver and brain of Daming and never give up......
This made Zhu Yuanzhang angry and wanted to scold his mother, but there was no way.
Zhang Yi glimpsed the future, but he only knew that Chang Yuchun would die, and when he would die, as for how he died, there was no clear answer in the future.
What else can Zhu Yuanzhang do, he can't really transfer Chang Yuchun back during the Northern Expedition.
The emperor thought about it, and finally took advantage of Kong Kejian's matter to get Xu Da back and told him personally.
He was also afraid that the letter would say that Xu Da would misunderstand what he meant.
However, looking at Xu Da's expression, Lao Zhu also knew that what he did was right, Xu Da really misunderstood, and he thought that he was wary of Chang Yuchun.
"Where did you think of it?"
They all grew up with bare buttocks, and before Xu Da could speak, Lao Zhu knew that he didn't understand.
He didn't want to expose Zhang Yi's existence at will, but now he can only explain part of it.
"Someone told me that Chang Yuchun will die next year......
Lao Zhu didn't wait for Xu Da to ask, and continued to add:
"It's not that you died in battle, it's because you died of overwork, that's why I asked you to come back and tell you personally, so that you can show me Chang Yuchun, you don't know his style of leading troops, I didn't respond to him when I wrote to him!
Now you are the only one who can talk to him in the army, or can look at him on my behalf, and I am afraid that you will not understand my letter, so I will call you back by the way! ”
Xu Da's expression was sluggish, if Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't said these words, he would only have been misled by someone.
He understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, Chang Yuchun was the second person in the army, and no one in the entire Ming army could mobilize him except Xu Da, even if it was Xu Da himself, it was because of Zhu Yuanzhang's death order that he had to cooperate with Xu Da!
Famous generals are all arrogant, not to mention that the two have been competing healthily, competing for the position of the first person in the Ming Dynasty.
Later, because of the killing of prisoners, the emperor personally ended the competition, and Xu Da's position was as stable as Mount Tai.
Zhu Yuanzhang's request made Xu Da difficult, Chang Yuchun killed the prisoner back then, but Xu Da couldn't see it and personally reported Chang Yuchun, although this was out of justice rather than selfishness, but after all, he completed the competition between him and Chang Yuchun in this way.
Although Chang Yuchun didn't turn his face with him afterwards, there was still a breath of anger after all.
Chang was obedient to Xu Da's military orders in the north, and even the cooperation between the two of them was seamless.
But his crazy way of fighting, to a certain extent, is also unconvinced by this matter, he often meets spring to prove that he is no worse than Xu Da!
If it weren't necessary, Xu Dazhen didn't want to interfere with Chang Yuchun in an unreasonable place, which would most likely upset the delicate balance between him and Chang Yuchun.
"Your Majesty, what are you ......?"
Lao Xu's embarrassment, why doesn't Zhu Yuanzhang understand?
He said very seriously:
"Let me tell you, I recently met a high-ranking person, this person's predictions have been verified, it is not that I am confused and listen to the evil words to confuse the public! But you don't have to ask who it is, just remember my words......
Next year, Liu Hechuan, if you turn your face with that bastard boy, you will also escort him down for me!
If he is dissatisfied after encountering spring, he will push me to see if he dares to blame me! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's serious expression made Xu Da sure that the emperor was serious again.
If the master behind the emperor could really predict the fate of Chang Yuchun, he would have to do this well even if he offended Chang Yuchun.
No one understands the value of Chang Yuchun better than him and Zhu Yuanzhang, if this famous general is lost, the historical process of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty will be at least several years later.
"Your Majesty, the minister commands!"
"Okay, the front is inseparable from you, this time I willfully summoned you back, you go back to the front line as soon as possible. But now that I'm back, go back and have a good time with my wife and daughter, I won't keep you, and when my Ming army breaks through the capital, goes all the way north, and gets back the lost land of my Han family, our brothers will drink and talk again! ”
"That Weichen has said goodbye, the minister is here to say goodbye to His Majesty, and I will go back to Shandong early tomorrow morning!"
Xu Da nodded, said goodbye to the emperor and left the palace, and went home non-stop.
Xu Mansion is like Changfu, although it is large, it is unpretentious. He got out of the car and saw that there was already someone waiting at the door.
Xie, the daughter, and the three-year-old eldest son.
"Daddy!"
The moment a pair of children saw Xu Da, they all ran over and threw themselves into Xu Da's arms.
"Miaoyun, Yungong, have you been obedient!"
"Dad, we're obedient!"
The little girl's answer made Xu Da very happy, and he suddenly picked up the Xu girl's head and said:
"Let's go, let's go in!"
Mrs. Xie chuckled on the side:
"Do you love your daughter so much, your son is about to cry......"
Xu Da lowered his head when he heard this, but when he saw Xu Yungong's aggrieved face, he laughed and hugged Xu Yungong up.
"Miaoyun, have you been studying hard lately?"
The old father's favoritism is very obvious.
Mrs. Xie was helpless:
"I said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, the lord has to rely on her temperament, she studies all day long, and her heart is high, who can suppress her when she marries in the future?"
Xu Da had a straight face: "If my daughter can't hold it down, what are you going to do if you marry him?" That's right, Miaoyun, you can read if you want to, and your father supports you......"
The family just laughed and had a good time, and walked into the house.
"Master, how long will it take for you to come back this time?"
"The military is busy, I'll leave early tomorrow morning!"
Knowing that her husband was leaving tomorrow, Xie and the children were disappointed.
Hsieh complained:
"I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, let you come back from the front line, and don't let you rest for a few more days!"
"Shut up!"
Xu Da is very helpless, his wife is good at everything, she is a good housekeeper, and her children's education is also good, but her mouth is too broken, and she doesn't know much about human feelings......
"Dad, my mother didn't mean it!"
The girl of the Xu family pleaded for her mother, and Xu Da didn't really want to accuse Xie, so he changed the topic:
"By the way, have you heard of any strangers in the city lately?"
"Inhuman, it's a monk and a Taoist priest or something!"
"Master, don't you know that the emperor forbids monks to travel, where are the monks and Taoists on the street now!"
Xie immediately gave Xu Da a negative answer, and at this time, Xu Yungong on the side shouted:
"There are Taoist priests, Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Sanfeng ......"
