Chapter 999 : One Carrot, One Pit
Hu Bo did not know that his brother was in a state of turmoil. Seeing that he had not sniffed, he said to himself: "Now, Zhu Yuanzhang survived the disaster. Will it be so easy for His Majesty to find a chance to kill Monk Zhu? If this battle continues, after ten days, if Monk Zhu does not need to take action, His Majesty will be defeated. At that time, will you and my brother be slaughtered? You and my brother are a seven-foot man. After many years of fighting with His Majesty, they will do nothing but kill people everywhere. His Majesty is even more ruthless and has never cared about the soldiers. Now we have no hope of making achievements and are besieged by Zhu Yuanzhang's army in this Poyang Lake. After ten days, the Zhu army wields a knife and is unable to resist. Isn't it so cowardly?"
Hu Bo said as he slapped his hands heavily on the railing on the bow of the boat, looking extremely angry. After a long time, he said: "But Your Majesty completely ignored the lives and death of the soldiers. Knowing that there was no food and grass, he still asked the soldiers to guard Poyang Lake to death. He issued an order to order the Taiwei to organize troops to fight to the death. Zhu Yuanzhang was so easy to kill. Such a decisive battle without planning and unprepared battle, wouldn't this let the brothers die? There are only 600,000 brothers, so many of them are left. The good brothers are almost dead. Your Majesty not only does not rest and recuperate, but you also want to fight to the death tomorrow. Brother, is such an emperor worthy of our loyalty? Is it worth our life for him?"
Liu Fang trembled and hesitated for a moment, saying, "Hu Bo, we are loyal to Your Majesty, so how can we betray Your Majesty? Besides, let's talk about Your Majesty's methods today, can you forget it?"
Hu Bo frowned and said, "How can I forget that such a living person is so alive. He was killed by the desire to defect because of this sentence. If Your Majesty is really the emperor of the world, even if we are heartbroken, we will do whatever we can. But Your Majesty has done something on his back, killing General Zhao, killing Emperor Xu, and driving away General Ming. Now he is killing his brothers. Now he knows that fighting will be a dead end, but he is still cruel to take everyone to death. Is such an emperor worthy of his brothers' life for him?"
"Brother Liu, you saw it today. The man just said a few rumors, and it was not a mistake. Your Majesty killed him. You said that the old man obviously didn't need to be killed, but Your Majesty forced him to kill him without asking any questions. I didn't think about it carefully at that time, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more I felt, the more I was getting worse and wrong?"
Liu Fang was slightly stunned, raised his head and looked around, and whispered: "Hu Bo, you say something quietly!" After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "Isn't that old man talking nonsense today? It's nothing wrong to bewitch the emperor. Your Majesty kill him!"
Hu Bo said: "There is nothing wrong, but Your Majesty is a little impatient. From me, Your Majesty's jokes to the old man and such a taboo. If you weren't afraid of it, you had reached the state of being full of plants and trees, why should you do this?"
Liu Fang lowered his voice and said, "Although it's good, your Majesty hasn't lost yet? If the 300,000 troops and thousands of dragon ships are dispatched well, it is impossible to destroy the Zhu army in one fell swoop. Even if it is not the search of Zhu's land, with Your Majesty's strength, we can retreat to Jiangzhou and recuperate in Jiangzhou, and then join forces with Zhang Shicheng to restrain Zhu Yuanzhang's army. Then the Zhu army faces two battles. Although Zhu Yuanzhang is powerful, he cannot fight against the alliance between Your Majesty and Zhang Shicheng. At that time, Your Majesty can take advantage of the situation to seize Jinling City, and it is not necessarily a good thing to compete with Zhang Shicheng?"
Hu Bo sneered and said, "Brother Liu is too naive. How can he allow others to snore on the side of his bed? If Your Majesty is really willing, why did you hurry to send troops without waiting for Zhang Shicheng to reply in the battle of Longwan, and finally got Kang Maocai's plan and was defeated. Now Your Majesty is invincible in Hongdu, Jiangzhou, Poyang Lake, and Jinling City are empty. If Zhang Shicheng is willing to work with Your Majesty, why can't he see no movement? Zhang Shicheng is short-sighted and has the ambition to unify the world, but has no gaze to unify the world. The soldiers under his command follow the rich land of Jiangnan and only know how to give elegance. His subordinates are purely a group of mobs. How could they be Zhu Yuanzhang's opponent? If I expected it, it won't take long, Jiangnan will definitely be obtained by Zhu Yuanzhang!"
Liu Fang was so moved by what Hu Bo said. In fact, he had long seen Chen Youliang's external force and indulgence, but he was very passive. No one led the way. Even if he died, he would be a radish and a pit. So when he heard Hu Bo showed his intention to defect, his heart moved, staring at Hu Bo and said, "Since that's the case, what should we do?"
Hu Bo's eyes flashed, and he pointed at Kangshan, who was confused by the mist, and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Yuanzhang's army is an iron-armored elite that has been tempered from the battlefield all year round. Monk Zhu even descended to the earth with Ziweixing. God bless him. In the battle tomorrow, the situation of His Majesty's collapse. Is this still a place where we can stay? Staying with His Majesty is just to die, so we have to leave..."
"Where to go..." Liu Fang's heart was thrilled.
"Traveling to Zhu Yuanzhang... Only that big tree can rely on it firmly and firmly. With the ability of you and me, you may be able to build some achievements? Is it possible to shine the clan and the ancestors in the future?"
Liu Fang's eyes moved and looked at Kangshan in the distance. Kangshan was faintly vaguely in the mist, as if it was covered with a layer of glory, which made people yearn for a while. Liu Fang looked at it for a while, gritted his teeth, turned around suddenly, and said aloud: "According to Brother Hu's words, join Zhu Yuanzhang, there is no reason to leave the road to life and take everyone to death!"
Tonight is a crescent moon. The faint moonlight shines on Mount Kang, covering Kangshan with a faint halo. This morning, the news that Zhu Yuanzhang was not dead was passed down by Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on not resting and patrolling the camp despite Liu Bowen's obstruction. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of eyes looked at Zhu Yuanzhang from beginning to end. This situation has been the most eye-catching day since Zhu Yuanzhang was born from his mother's belly.
