Chapter 76 Planning

Zhang Dingbian was upright and did not want to spend more time elsewhere except for war, so he couldn't understand why Xu Shouhui was better than being an emperor, and why all the things that were happening in front of him were blamed on Zhang Shicheng far away in Hangzhou. However, the same problem was not difficult for Zou Pusheng, the Grand Tutor of Tianwan Kingdom. When the shame and annoyance in his heart faded, he immediately realized the reality clearly.

The Huai'an army did not owe Xu Shouhui anything, including the "Gaoyou Deal". At that time, only Monk Peng expressed support as the right prime minister of Tianwan Kingdom, while Xu Shouhui's attitude was ignored. Therefore, when Qizhou encountered joint attacks from the rebels and the Mongolian Yuan, Zhu Chongjiu had no obligation to send troops to support.

In this case, the Fifth Corps of Huai'an was able to go up the river entirely to show kindness to Tianwan, or to show the strength of the Huaiyang General Administration. When they achieve the goal of demonstrating their strength, what is the next step to do? Should they immediately withdraw their troops and let Xu Shouhui die on their own, or to ensure that Qizhou City can continue to survive, it depends on what price the Tianwan Kingdom is willing to pay.

No one has to expect Zhu Chongjiu to support Zhang Shicheng, Wang Kerou, Wang Xuan and Zhu Chongba again like he spared no effort to support Xu Shouhui. First of all, the situation back then was completely different from now on. Zhu Chongjiu was weak at the time, and the larger the territory he captured, the greater the risk he suffered. Therefore, he was supporting Zhang, Wang, Zhu and others, which was equivalent to buying a buffer space for Huaiyang himself at the same time. Now, Zhu Chongjiu's soldiers are said to have more than 100,000 soldiers. He did not expand out immediately, and he was already cautious and did not need to rely on others to obtain strategic buffering.

In addition, if Zhang Shicheng was like Zhu Chongba, just playing with fire under the table, on the surface, he was still respectful to Huaiyang and was still cautious in treating himself as a minion under someone else's command. Although his strength had long exceeded Guo Zixing several times, Tianwan sent a verbal debater to give Zhu Chongjiu some more soul-stirring soup, and perhaps Zhu Chongjiu could continue to be his Yuan Highway. However, before Zhu Chongjiu could become the king, Zhang Shicheng made a hat of King Wu and put it on. Then he secretly talked with officials from Fujian Road in the Mongolian Yuan, preparing to join forces with the local Yisiba Xibian to fight against Huaiyang. This was already a naked act of lifting the table, which completely eliminated the thoughts of those who wanted to imitate him in the future. Even if Zhu Chongjiu was foolish, Lu Luzeng, Liu Bowen and others under his command would come forward to remind him to have a memory. (Note 1)

After understanding the key points, Zou Pusheng's resentment gradually subsided. As the Grand Tutor of Tianwan Kingdom, he knew his lord Xu Shouhui better than anyone else. The ability and knowledge of the latter was very reluctant to be a county magistrate. If he became the prime minister of the province, he would definitely be a corrupt official who harmed the land. As for being an emperor, hehe, how excited he was when Tianwan Kingdom was at the beginning of the uprising of the army. In a few years, he had tortured what he had become.

So Chen Youliang is right. Xu Shouhui is not the emperor and treats everyone well. At least he will not let everyone die in the future for a false reputation. As long as Xu Shouhui is willing to bow his head and listen to the mercy of the Huaiyang General Administration, with Zhang Shicheng as a living example in front, Zhu Chongjiu will not turn to support others.

After all, being a coward is a coward. If he wants to give power in the future, he will need a warrant. If it is replaced by Chen Youliang or Monk Peng, if he is full in the future, who can guarantee that they will not be the other two Zhang Shicheng?

Thinking of this festival, Zou Pusheng felt a little pity for Chen Youliang. If the latter's ability and prestige could be fully supported by the Huaiyang Grand Prix, it would not take long to completely replace Xu Shouhui and become a famous prince. The catchphrase that Chen Youliang often talked about also revealed the ambitions that this person once had.

But now, everything has become a dream bubble. Zhu Chongjiu will no longer give others the chance to become the King of Wu. Without external support, if Chen Youliang refuses to give up his "spiritual aspiration of Guangwu", he will only make him become a corpse under someone else's feet faster.

"General Chen, General Chen, walk slowly. I am old and can't keep up with your legs." After thoroughly understanding all the causes and consequences, Zou Pusheng's shoulders suddenly lightened, speeding up his pace, chasing Chen Youliang's back, "General Wu ordered me to go with you. The three of us walked a little slower, just as we can discuss on the road how to convince the master and persuade Commander Xu."

"The Grand Master no longer blames Chen for his strange thoughts." Hearing the shouts from behind, Chen Youliang hesitated and slowed down, turned around and asked with a sneer.

"No, no, no." After all, it was a civil servant. The same meaning was much more pleasant to say from Zou Pusheng's mouth. "It was because I was stupid before and did not understand General Chen's good intentions. We promoted the righteous army to save the people from the fire and water of the people, not for fame and fortune. If we could give up the title of heaven and the country and allow the people of the four prefectures of Qihuang to get rid of the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty, why should we care about a false reputation?"

Hearing this, Chen Youliang was slightly stunned again, then stopped and bowed to Zou Pusheng, "What the Grand Master said is very much. Our original intention is for the country and the people. Why not be afraid of being a false reputation outside of the body? How should we help Commander Xu to find his original intention today? I would like to ask the Grand Master to make more plans. After all, Chen and Brother Zhang are both martial artists. Apart from fighting, other things are not our directors."

"The word "Taishi" is not necessary to mention the word "Taishi"." Zou Pusheng tacitly opened his body and returned with the kindness of his peers. "The heavenly court has become a passing cloud. My Taishi is Kong, and your Jinwu General is Kong. From now on, you and I might as well call each other brothers, so that we can take care of each other."

"Mr. Chen dares not obey orders. Brother Zou is here, please accept a bow from me." Chen Youliang immediately bowed and bowed again, completely changing to a style of martial arts, without mentioning each other's past.

This time, Zou Pusheng was relieved by his bow with peace of mind, then reached out to hold his arm, and said with a smile: "I am old, and this matter of leading troops to fight is definitely not as good as you and Brother Zhang. But in the future, you two need to discuss something, and I can still help you plan a little, and may not be able to plan too long, at least I will not deliberately lead you to the fork road."

"Mr. Chen is just thinking about this. Brother Zou is willing to give some advice. Of course, it is best." Chen Youliang smiled and nodded slightly.

It was not until this moment that Zhang Dingbian caught up in a daze. Seeing Zou and Chen laughing, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "Oh, I said you two, weren't you just like fighting cocks just now? Why did you make up so quickly? What's going on? Brother Chen, where do you want to take me in the future?"

"Of course I'm going to join the Huai'an Army and immediately gain fame." Chen Youliang rolled his eyelids helplessly and gave the answer loudly, "Why do you need to think about it? Apart from General Manager Zhu, who is worthy of our brothers' service?"

"That's true." Zhang Dingbian blinked his eyes like a copper bell a few times and said in a muffled voice, "If it's not alone, it's Zhu Chongjiu's side, which is worthy of our brothers' work. At least, at a critical moment, this person can rush forward with a knife and never abandon his brothers."

"General Zhu is not righteous, so he is naturally unparalleled." Zou Pusheng took the conversation and smiled and pointed out, "However, Brother Zhang, you should not say these words in the future. Although General Zhu is very arrogant and will not take these jokes to heart, the people under his command may not be gentlemen."

"I'm just talking. With my personality, if you let me be the leader, I have to do it." Zhang Dingbian was just unwilling to spend more time, but his intelligence was no worse than normal people. After hearing Zou Pusheng's words, he immediately understood the profound meaning contained in it.

"Thank you, Brother Zou, for reminding me that Chen will be more restrained in the future." Chen Youliang was very keen, and in a blink of an eye, he understood that Zou Pusheng was turning around and advising him.

As a minister, you must have the attitude of being a minister. Before, everyone could talk nonsense at Tianwan. That was because the emperor Xu Shouhui, who was confused and lost his prestige, had no need to respect him too much as long as everyone had the strength. If they joined the Huai'an army, they would not be as careless as before. "Being an official must be a Jinwu." First of all, Zhu Chongjiu has many soldiers and a wide range of generals, and there is no shortage of outsiders. Secondly, the hundreds of dozens of people under his command are not enough to become a promising trust.

"I heard that the chief executive has great respect for the rules." Seeing that Chen Youliang and Zhang Dingbian could listen to the advice, Zou Pusheng continued, "So, you and my brother, just be cautious in your mouth, there is no need to worry too much about the others, in addition."

After a pause, he quickly added, "If you have the opportunity to make meritorious service, everyone must seize it. We are late and we are already behind others. If you are still procrastinating in doing things, it will be difficult to find a name for Lingyan in the future."

"That's natural. You have seen Lao Zhang work hard for whom you eat and who you work for." Zhang Dingbian agreed with this, grinned and agreed loudly.

"The opportunity is here, of course you can't miss it." Chen Youliang's scheming was far deeper than Zhang Dingbian. He heard that Zou Pusheng might have something else to say. After pondering for a while, he responded slowly. "But sometimes he can only do his best to do his best and leave it to heaven. For example, this time, it would be a great achievement to convince Commander Xu. If Commander Xu refused to listen to the advice, he still stubbornly wanted to be his Emperor Tianwan. How should we explain to General Wu?"

"General Xu had abandoned the city last night." Zou Pusheng shook his head, and the smile on his face became colder. "This man, if he is willing to sacrifice his life, no one can do anything to him. But if he gives himself the excuse to survive in the first time, there will definitely be a second time."

"Brother Zou said?" Chen Youliang's face changed drastically, and his eyes were filled with cold light.

"General Wu gave us this job, but without saying that, we were restricted to the three of us." Zou Pusheng refused to face his eyes, lowered his head, and watched the two waves of ants fighting under his feet. "Brothers fought hard in front of the head, but Commander Xu ran away by himself. Among the people who survived by chance yesterday, it is probably more than the three of us who wanted to ask him for an explanation."

Note 1: Yisiba Xi's soldiers, the Great Food and Yi soldiers controlled by the Pu family in Fujian, were led by Pu Shougeng, Song Quanzhou, colluded with the Yuan army, and gave a fatal blow to the exiled court of the Southern Song Dynasty. They killed all the people surnamed Zhao and the wounded soldiers in the city of Quanzhou at that time. Tens of thousands of innocent people died. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Pu Shougeng's grandson Nawuna led the Yisiba Xi's soldiers to take advantage of the waters and establish a pure Islamic separatist regime, but were defeated by Chen Youding. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang pardoned the world, but specifically stipulated that "the remnants of the Pu family were all imprisoned and were not allowed to be enthroned in the army for generations."
