Chapter 96 Xu Zuhui

Xu Zuhui, the eldest son of Xu Da, the first general of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, not only has a family history, but also has been in the army for decades, and is one of the few people in the court who can be called a soldier today.

At this time, in the big tent of the prison army, Xu Zuhui was pacing slowly. To be honest, at this time, he was very uncertain about this dispatch, 500,000 against 50,000, it sounded like a sure victory, but in his opinion, it was definitely not the case. Because he knows that today's Zhu Di can be said to be the only person in the Ming Dynasty who has commanded a large army to fight, and Zhu Di has shown his extremely high military command art in the two northern expeditions to Mongolia; And what worries him even more is that Li Jinglong, the commander of the army this time, is too rigid and self-serving, and now he is just gathering hundreds of thousands of troops together, not deploying and training, not preparing sufficient food and grass and military supplies, and even not knowing how to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, so he only relies on his own soldiers to rush to Beiping City in one breath to fight with Zhu Di, how many military taboos have been committed, but he can't listen to the advice of others at all, and even his own advice as a supervisor of the army can't listen to it at all.

"Alas, I hope my worries are unnecessary. "The prison army is not allowed to interfere with the command, this is the ancestral system, so Xu Zuhui can only comfort himself like this.

Xu Zuhui sighed lightly and returned to the front of the Dao Shuai case, he was about to pick up the pen and write another document urging grain and grass, but when he heard the tent curtain lifted, a personal soldier came in and said: "Lord Yuguo, Xu Qianhu is back and is listening to the order in front of the tent." ”

Xu Zuhui frowned slightly, and then remembered what he had ordered Xu Zhong to do, so he said without raising his head: "Call him in." ”

Xu Zhong quickly approached the tent, and when he saw that Xu Zuhui was busy, he hurriedly stood aside silently.

Xu Zuhui didn't look up at Xu Zhong until he finished writing the document and asked, "How is the matter going, have you ever taken people down?"

Xu Zhong had already thought of what to do, and when he saw Xu Zuhui asking, he immediately replied with a slightly embarrassed look: "Yu Guogong, things are a little different, but the person still brought it back." ”

"Oh. Xu Zuhui raised his eyebrows, he had always trusted and generous his personal guards, and he didn't get angry, he just said in a calm voice: "Tell me what's going on?"

Xu Zhong naturally knew his master's surname very well, and he didn't hide it and replied happily: "Madame's cousin ......" But as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Xu Zuhui frowning, and immediately understood his mistake, and quickly changed his words: "Ah...... Lord Zhang Baihu was indeed killed in that small village, but the person who killed him was a doom. ”

"Mitu?" Xu Zuhui was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "But the Mitu of Wudang?"

"Yes. ”

"Then tell me carefully what is going on?" Xu Zuhui's tone was cautious.

"It should be that after the battle of the Hutuo River, Zhang Baihu retreated to the small village with his men, and did some excessive things to the people of the small village, but it happened to be met by Mitu, so the two sides clashed. Xu Zhong carefully organized his language, dealt with it carefully, and wanted to make things as light as possible.

"How excessive is it? Don't hide it, tell the truth!" Although Xu Zuhui is generous, he has always been very strict in law and discipline, he saw Xu Zhong's vague words, he couldn't help frowning deeply, his face was solemn, and his tone was a little stern.

Xu Zhong couldn't hide from it, so he had to answer stubbornly: "Now there are only old and weak women and children left in the small village, and there are obvious traces of fire in the village, and there are dozens of new graves......

"Touch!" Before Xu Zhong's words were finished, Xu Zuhui had already slammed his trembling palm on the handsome case, his face sank like water, and he scolded loudly: "Bastard! Kill!" Xu Zuhui has been in the army for a long time, and has experienced several battles, how can he not know the dirty things done by the rout, so he naturally heard the meaning of Xu Zhong's words, and immediately became furious. He kicked the case and ordered Xu Zhong: "Go! Go and bring that bastard who reported the news, I will interrogate him personally." ”

Xu Zhong has followed Xu Zuhui for more than ten years, and it is the first time he has seen Xu Zuhui lose such a big temper, and he is immediately frightened.

Xu Zuhui walked more than a dozen steps, but when he saw that Xu Zhong was still standing there and didn't move, he immediately glared at him and said, "Why don't you go!"

Xu Zhong shuddered, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Lord Guogong is angry, and his subordinates will go." After a pause, he asked again: "It's just that Mitu is still waiting outside the handsome tent, how to deal with it?"

Xu Zuhui calmed down his anger at this time, and ordered as if he was a little panting: "You go and ask Mitu to come in, huh...... In addition, bring that bastard at once, and I will deal with it myself in front of Mitu, and I must not chill the hearts of the righteous men. ”

Xu Zhong listened carefully to Xu Zuhui's instructions, and then responded respectfully: "Yes!" turned around and walked quickly outside the tent. The flattering smile of the soldier flashed in his mind, and he felt that he was so pitiful, and sighed lightly and thought: "I wanted to ask for a lot of credit, I'm afraid that kid didn't expect to be in a different place today!"

Xu Zhong just arrived at the tent door and was about to pick up the curtain to go out, but when he saw the tent curtain move, Yin Tongshan walked in, he quickly dodged and nodded at Yin Tongshan and was about to go out.

Yin Tongshan hurriedly stopped Xu Zhong and said, "Lord Xu, slow down, I have something important to report to Grandpa Guo, please Lord Xu after listening to it before making a decision." As he spoke, he bowed to Xu Zuhui, "See Wei Guogong!"

As soon as Xu Zuhui saw Yin Tongshan come in, he thought that he was trying to intercede for Mitu, so he immediately smiled and said: "Daoist Yin don't worry, I already know the truth of the matter, and I will never wronged your senior brother." ”

Yin Tongshan hurriedly said: "Thank you Wei Guogong for presiding over justice, I took my senior brother to thank Guogong!" said and bowed deeply, but got up and said with a serious expression: "But what I want to report to Guogong is not this matter, but there is another important matter, which is still related to my senior brother." ”

Xu Zuhui was very satisfied with Yin Tongshan's attitude, and said with a smile: "Yin Daochang has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"King Yan's men have entered the camp, and they have just walked in front of the big tent of the Chinese army. ”

Yin Tongshan's words surprised Xu Zhong, and he shouted first: "Where, let's go and take him down!"

Xu Zuhui's face moved slightly, his brows furrowed and he glared at the panicked Xu Zhong, before he asked Yin Tongshan: "Oh! Daoist Yin carefully tell me what's going on, what does this have to do with Mitu?"

Yin Tongshan couldn't help but secretly respect Xu Zuhui when he saw that Xu Zuhui was so calm, and after a while, he sorted out his thoughts and replied: "It was discovered by the senior brother, and there are a lot of people sent by King Yan this time, I am afraid that the plan is also very large, so the senior brother suggested that Grandpa Guo should not be silent during the war, and the senior brother also suggested that Grandpa Guo should take him down now and lead the snake out of the hole." ”

Yin Tongshan's words have a lot of meanings, and there are many turns, Xu Zhong was like falling into the fog for a while, and he was stunned and didn't know what Yin Tongshan was doing. But Xu Zuhui quickly understood the meaning of Yin Tongshan's words, and he was overjoyed at the moment, so he actually gave Yin Tongshan a salute, and said solemnly: "Mitu is really a righteous man, please take me to thank him, but I am afraid that I will be temporarily wronged by Mitu." ”

Yin Tongshan admired Xu Zuhui's open-mindedness and fairness, how dare he accept his courtesy, quickly dodged away, bowed down and said: "When I entered the account, the senior brother said that he had received the favor of the grandfather of the country, so he naturally wanted to repay the prince, and a little grievance was nothing. However, there is another sentence that Yin Tongshan did not say at this time, that is, he asked Xu Zuhui to judge the affairs of the village and compensate the village. Of course, Yin Tongshan did not forget, what he thought was that as long as he passed this level, everything would be easy to say, and at that time, Xu Zuhui would happily agree. (To be continued.) )
