First Minister of Ming Dynasty

"Not here? It's good not here! I'll wait for him to come back in the mansion!" As he said that, Peng Da was about to rush in. How could the soldiers guarding the gate let him go, and hurriedly stopped him.

It's a pity they underestimated Peng Da.

"What a group of eyesless things! Look at me and don't know you? When you were in Xuzhou, you were all my subordinates. Now you belong to the surname Zhao. You don't take me seriously at all. Go ask Zhao Jun Why, he and Peng are staring at each other?"

This is really not bragging, Peng Da is Zhimali's deputy, and his status is indeed higher than that of Zhao Junyong.

Seeing that the soldier guarding the gate was stopped, Peng Da pushed him away and rushed in.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and rushed in hastily.But how to find such a huge mansion?

Peng Da said directly: "Chongba, you go to the back and look for it in the cellar!"

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, went directly to the backyard, found the entrance of the cellar, and went in first. After searching three rooms in a row, he finally saw Guo Zixing.

This Marshal Guo was hung up, his clothes were stripped off, his fair skin was covered with welts and blood, he really suffered.

When Zhu Yuanzhang broke open the lock and came to Guo Zixing, the Marshal Guo burst into tears and burst into tears.

"My good son-in-law! Get me out quickly!"

Chapter 40 Guo Zixing's gift

Guo Zixing at this moment is worse than the desolate Phoenix. He is just a broiler that has only been plucked and is about to be bled... Hanging in a damp, cold, musty cellar, his clothes have been stripped, and his skin has been beaten to pieces. There are some cockroaches. And climbed up to his feet.

It was itchy and painful again.

He was even more apprehensive in his heart, for fear that his old life was about to be confessed.

He hoped that his son would come to save him, and he also hoped that his brother-in-law would come.He scolded Zhao Junyong, scolded Sun Deya, scolded all the trash under his command, but Zhu Yuanzhang, he still couldn't scold him.

However, Guo Zixing had another worry. Could it be that this kid joined forces with them again?

If this is the case, Zhu Chongba, you don't even have the slightest bit of support!

Guo Zixing cursed around, but he didn't reflect on himself... Just when he was most panicked and helpless, Zhu Yuanzhang descended from the sky and cut him off the rope. Guo Zixing lost half of his life and stood still. At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang caught Guo Zixing with his thick back, and took a long robe to wrap Guo Zixing around.

"Father, let's carry you out!"

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang took big steps and walked outside.

Guo Zixing threw himself on Zhu Yuanzhang's back, finally feeling a little guilty, and his eye circles couldn't help turning red.

Unexpectedly, really unexpected, when I was in trouble, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who saved me.

It is said that a son-in-law is half the son-in-law, but Zhu Yuanzhang is a son-in-law after all, and he has repeatedly suppressed him. Not long ago, he brought soldiers over, and almost met each other.

Guo Zixing was really touched that he could save himself without avoiding danger when he was almost falling out and the situation was like fire and water.

"Good boy, I was wrong! You are such a kind person."

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly taken aback, but he didn't say anything. He came out with Guo Zixing on his back and saw Peng Da.

Peng Da glanced at Guo Zixing, just nodded, didn't say anything, but bowed his head, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Zhao Jun used to detain Marshal Guo, and joined forces with Sun Deya to recruit Guo Shuai's troops. Vicious... tell me, what should I do? Do you need to start now?"

Peng Da's meaning is very clear, that is to join forces with Zhu Yuanzhang to kill those two people, and then carve up the Haozhou red scarf.

As for Guo Zixing, after this battle, his prestige will be ruined, and he will no longer have the face to lead the army.Zhu Yuanzhang was the original owner of the Haozhou Red Scarf, and Peng Da's annexation of Zhao Junyong's subordinates would quickly expand, so it was a good deal no matter how you looked at it.

But Peng Da didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't agree immediately, but said: "Prince Peng is very gracious and virtuous. I am very grateful. Let's send Guo Shuai home first, ask the doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and then ask Prince Peng for instruction."

Peng Da was stunned for a moment, he was quick, he went to treat Guo Zixing now, and waited for Zhao Junyong to react, it was too late.

But Zhu Chongba made up his mind, and Peng Da couldn't force him, so he had to let them go back to the commander's mansion.

How can Guo Zixing not be emotional for his two lives.

The soldiers under Zhu Yuanzhang went up and called for the door.

"Master Zhu is here!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's arrival, the people inside suddenly became a mess.

what happened?

How did this guy get here?

Could it be that he came here to take advantage of the news of the handsome man?

"Hold on, hold on quickly, don't come in!"

Guo Tianxu raised his weapon and yelled hastily, the inside was crackling and chaotic.

The soldier called three times in a row, but the door was closed tightly.

Guo Zixing was so angry that he didn't know what his precious son was up to?

This son of a bitch, my father will save him if he is in trouble. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is here, he knows how to take precautions.

Do you know what to do in the nest?

Rebel!

"Help, help me over there."

Zhu Yuanzhang supported Guo Zixing, and when he reached the door, Guo Zixing gasped for breath, and then said angrily, "Open the door!"

Guo Tianxu inside hesitated a little, why did he sound like his father?Can Zhu Chongba know how to ventriloquist?

He was still in a daze, but Zhang Tianyou was smarter than him, and hurriedly said: "Tian Xu, it's my brother-in-law who has returned!"

what?

Dad is back?

Guo Tianxu hurriedly looked out from the crack of the door, and it was indeed Guo Zixing.

Dad is back!

Thankfully, the biggest crisis is over.

"Open the door!"

Guo Tianxu ran out happily, rushed to Guo Zixing, and was about to say hello, when Guo Zixing raised his hand.

Snapped!

There was a loud bang, and before Guo Tianxu could react, it came again.

I saw two streams of blood flowing out from the corners of Guo Tianxu's mouth, making his head buzzing from the beating, he was dumbfounded, is dad crazy?

Guo Zixing just snorted, and then walked inside. Zhang Tianyou wanted to come over, but Guo Zixing slapped him too.

Get out of here!

The old man only recognizes his son-in-law.

Zhu Yuanzhang helped Guo Zixing to go inside, and Zhang Ximeng, as Lao Zhu's confidant, followed behind. When he arrived at the handsome hall, a doctor came over soon to check Guo Zixing's injuries.

"Chongba, you, you are not allowed to go, just wait here, I will talk to you later."

Zhu Yuanzhang had to agree, so that Guo Zixing went to the back with peace of mind. After hearing the news, Mrs. Zhang, who came over, also burst into tears when she saw Guo Zixing.

"Marshal! I, I said I would go to Chongba for help, that child is benevolent. But, who would have thought that your precious son would not agree, and even scolded me, and would hand over the foundation to others after speaking! How could I commit crimes? She gave birth to such a heartless, disobedient and unfilial hornet son!" Zhang was so angry that she secretly sent someone to deliver a letter to her goddaughter, and was worried that Lao Zhu had a grudge and was unwilling to help, so she urged her son to come to the house to apologize, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to come and discuss Countermeasures.

Unexpectedly, Guo Tianxu not only refused to agree, but also robbed her for nothing, saying that she was old-fashioned, and at this time, luring the wolf into the house was clearly to give Zhu Yuanzhang and his family the entire family fortune.

He also ordered that Mrs. Zhang be locked up in the backyard and not allowed to come out.

If Guo Zixing hadn't returned, Mrs. Zhang would still be locked up.

"Marshal, I, I really want to take a knife, open my stomach, and see what kind of black heart I have, and how I gave birth to such a beast!" Zhang stamped her chest and cried There was a lot of noise.

When Guo Zixing found out about these things, he rolled his eyes in anger and couldn't say a word.

The doctor made medicine for Guo Zixing, and his wife scrubbed his body and changed his clothes. He was very busy.

At the moment, there are only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng in the handsome hall.

Old Zhu pondered for a while, then suddenly said to Zhang Ximeng, "Sir, do you think this is a good time to get rid of Zhao Jun?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "My lord, whether you want to do it or not depends on your will. Only the commander can weigh the gains and losses."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, but said again: "Then what gains and losses do you think, can you always tell us?"

This time Zhang Ximeng didn't refuse. He didn't want to save Guo Zixing, but Zhu Yuanzhang made a move. This surprised Zhang Ximeng and realized his role. Since he only wanted to be a support, he couldn't make decisions for Lao Zhu.And his own thinking, must be better than old Zhu?

Can the seemingly cheap move really achieve great things?

Zhang Ximeng kept thinking, and he seemed to have come to some conclusions.

"Kill Zhao Junyong, annex the troops, and hold Haozhou's tens of thousands of red scarves in his hands. The lord has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. In terms of strength, it is quite impressive, although it is not as good as Liu Futong and Xu Shouhui. , can be regarded as a prince along the way, and can still occupy the territory of Haozhou, the future can be expected."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Where is the loss?"

"First of all, they lost their faith. The Haozhou Red Scarf just defended Haozhou together and won a bloody battle with the government. No matter who is the reason, at this moment, the fire is fighting and killing each other. It will only make outsiders see the joke and think that the Haozhou Red Scarf , can’t get rid of the habit of bandits, short-sighted. Moreover, the red scarf soldiers are generally locals from Haozhou. Once a fight occurs, the lives of Haozhou will be lost. Even if the lord wins, the soldiers will inevitably blame the lord for the deaths and injuries of their relatives. Even if we get tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at that time, they will still be alienated and filled with resentment, not much better than mobs."

"Furthermore, if we kill each other and make things worse, Yuan Ting will be able to see the needles. If we beat ourselves to the ground and send tens of thousands of soldiers at random, we may be defeated at the touch of a finger, and we will end up like a Xuzhou Zhimali! "

When Zhang Ximeng said this, he couldn't help but shudder.

He seemed to understand why Lao Zhu was better than Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang, especially Chen Youliang, who was the little Lu Bu at the end of the Yuan Dynasty!

The troops are superior, the equipment is good, and the time and place are at the right time... In the end, they were defeated by Lao Zhu. Is it a coincidence?Perhaps the final result is doomed from the behavior style of the two people.

As a time traveler, he may have countless times more experience than the ancients, but he may not be more gracious than others.After all, if everything is really that good, before time travel, it should shine!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ximeng felt more and more that he should be humble and careful, and must not be arrogant, otherwise he might not be able to do well under Lao Zhu...

The two discussed for a while, and finally made up their minds. At this moment, Guo Zixing unexpectedly came, along with Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou.

"Your Majesty!"

Guo Zixing shouted angrily, and the two men fell to their knees in fright, and Guo Zixing went directly to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Chongba, it's because these two things provoked us that we had a rift. I will kill them now and hand over Haozhou to you! You are not allowed to refuse!"

Chapter 41 Full Harvest

Guo Zixing's righteous indignation made Zhang Ximeng want to laugh, if you are really sincere, just come here with two heads!

After all, father and son love deeply, no matter how angry Guo Zixing is, he will not really kill Guo Tianxu.But he couldn't help but play this show, without him, Guo Zixing must have an explanation for such a big incident.

Now that the initiative is in Lao Zhu's hands, it depends on how Zhu Yuanzhang accepts the move.

"Marshal, I have a few words in my heart that I want to say."

"Speak!" Guo Zixing did not hesitate, "Whatever you say, I will listen to you."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and said, "We want to ask the commander-in-chief to spare one person."

"Who? Is it this bastard?" He pointed at Guo Tianxu and roared angrily, "This old man still has a son. If you kill him, you won't lose your child. Don't plead for him!"

Guo Tianxu knelt on the ground, trembling all over, what a miserable situation!

Old Zhu shook his head slightly, "Marshal, the person we are talking about is King Yongyi, Marshal Zhao and Zhao Junyong!"

"what?"

Guo Zixing was furious, and the wounds all over his body ached.

Ridiculous, no one can spare Zhao Junyong!

This beast sneaked up on the old man, and even arrested the old man, trying to kill the old man.If he repays his kindness with revenge, he should be hacked into pieces!

"Chongba, I, I was almost killed, you don't want to avenge the old man?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was unmoved, he guessed rightly, even if Guo Zixing didn't act, he really didn't have much interest in handing over his subordinates to him.

Because taking over this force, he will avenge Guo Zixing and turn his face against Zhao Junyong.

Don't look at Lao Zhu who got thousands of horses and a lot of armor, which surpassed Zhao Junyong in terms of equipment.But the training time of the soldiers is not long, and the running-in is not enough.Moreover, someone escaped just now, and Lao Zhu had no time to deal with it.

This proves that his subordinates are far from being invincible. If they fight against Zhao Jun, they may win, but the result must be full of chicken feathers.

After Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it repeatedly, he felt more and more that Haozhou was not a place to use his strength.

This piece of products is not rich enough, especially lack of food, and several groups of red scarves get together and fight with each other endlessly, so it is difficult to develop.

Old Zhu couldn't wait to go south, so Haozhou had better be stable, even if it was only for a while.

"Commander, Zhao Junyong gathered 3 or [-] people and became the king first, but now he is falling out with him. Firstly, he is not strong enough, and secondly, he will only make Yuan Tartars cheaper. Commander should focus on the overall situation!"

Guo Zixing's complexion suddenly turned ugly. He is full of resentment now, he has been calculated for no reason, and his son is worthless. If he doesn't settle this account with Zhao Jun, he will go crazy.
