Chapter 60 Li Shan is coming
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled.
Zhu Han knew that his brother had not yet realized the importance of Li Shanchang.
"Brother, it's better to go out to greet him in person!" Zhu Han said.
When Zhu Han said this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately took it seriously.
He understood that Li Shanchang, the one Zhu Han mentioned, must be very talented, otherwise he would not have let him go out to greet him in person.
"Okay, then let's go in person!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.
Soon, he sorted out his appearance and walked out strode.
Outside the gate, a middle-aged scholar wearing a blue round neck robe was walking calmly.
He is Li Shanchang, a famous scholar in Dingyuan. His courtesy name is Baishi. He has been studious and intelligent since childhood. He is a celebrity in Dingyuan County at a young age. He is just 40 years old this year, but he has never been willing to serve the Mongolians and chooses to practice self-cultivation behind closed doors.
As the Red Turban Army began to rise, the world was already showing signs of heroes competing. Li Shanchang also felt that the Mongols were most likely to be over, so he thought about making achievements.
It happened that the Red Turban Army led by Zhu Yuanzhang came to attack Dingyuan. In just a few days, they successively subdued Lupaizhai and Hengjian Mountain Troupe, and then captured Temur alive. Not only that, this Red Turban Army general named Zhu Yuanzhang was also restraining his troops, not stealing, robbing, or lewd or disturbing the people, and could be called the king's army.
This Red Thief General from Haozhou immediately aroused Li Shanchang's great interest.
After thinking for a while, Li Shanchang decided to come and visit Zhu Yuanzhang, the capital of the Red Turban Army.
If Zhu Yuanzhang is really a hero, then he will come out to assist.
But if Zhu Yuanzhang was just a disguised thief, then Li Shanchang would continue to stay in the door and would never wade into the muddy waters.
Just when Li Shanchang observed the soldiers coming and going out of the Marshal's Mansion and admired their military appearance.
suddenly.
A hearty laughter came from the gate.
"Where is Mr. Li in the current era?"
Then a tall and handsome Red Turban Army general walked out of the gate, followed by two people, one was the Red Turban Army soldier who had just entered and reported to him, and the other was a teenager.
The Red Turban soldier pointed his hand and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Marson, this is Mr. Li!"
Seeing this, Li Shanchang was delighted at first, but his expression remained unchanged and he bowed respectfully.
"I am Li Shanchang, come and disturb Marshal Zhu!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Li Shanchang, he felt that he was extraordinary and not the sour and corrupt scholars he had met before.
"We have heard that Mr. Li is a famous scholar in Dingyuan, comparable to ancient Xiao He and Zhuge Liang. When I saw him today, I was indeed very arrogant!" Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.
Just now, Zhu Han praised Li Shanchang's reputation very much, and compared it directly with Xiao He and Zhuge Liang, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally full of expectations.
"If the marshal is not praised by him, Li is just an ordinary man!" Li Shanchang said with a smile.
Li Shanchang's initial impression of the Red Turban Army general in front of him was that he had already given a big high score.
After all, people who can know talents with keen eyes will never be too bad.
For a moment, the host and the guest met.
Zhu Yuanzhang personally invited Li Shanchang to the Marshal's Mansion.
When he entered the hall, Zhu Han was the only one who accompanied him.
Li Shanchang was full of curiosity about this young man, so Zhu Yuanzhang naturally introduced it.
"Zhu Han, our dear brother!"
Zhu Yuanzhang then introduced Zhu Han's contributions, which immediately shocked Li Shanchang.
"I first fought in Haozhou and then fought in Dingyuan, but the first contribution was the young general?" Li Shanchang looked surprised.
He originally thought that Zhu Han was just a teenager, but he didn't expect that he was a hero.
"It's not all my credit, it's all my life for the soldiers! If you fight too much in the future, you will need a real talent like a gentleman who is both civil and military." Zhu Han said.
He must help his brother win over Li Shanchang.
In history, Li Shanchang was a civil and military talent, and was a top talent in temple calculation and operation. His only weakness was his greed for power and fame in his later years.
This weakness is usually praised by others.
Sure enough, after Zhu Han's praise, Li Shanchang immediately felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was a helper, not only because Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely heroic, but also because Zhu Han's younger brother assisted him. In addition, he would definitely be a perfect combination.
really.
In the subsequent conversation, although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't read much, his experience was quite good, and he felt compassion for the people and the people in his heart, which made Li Shanchang admire him very much.
Zhu Han also brought up topics from time to time, which made his brother Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang even more prone to chat.
Before I knew it, it was time to light the lights.
"Come, serve the meal and prepare another jar of wine. We will have a drink with the sir!" Zhu Yuanzhang ordered happily.
The military law in the rebel army prohibits alcohol, not only because drinking is a mistake, but also because Zhu Han incorporates spirits into military weapons.
However, today Li Shanchang's arrival made Zhu Yuanzhang an exception for the first time.
Li Shanchang was also very impressed by the open-minded Zhu Yuanzhang.
With the wine to cheer up, the more they chatted, the more they became more and more happy, but Zhu Han could only whisper to the wine.
"I am still a minor and I must not drink alcohol!"
After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Yuanzhang was already a little drunk.
He asked Li Shanchang.
"We heard that sir, you can know that five hundred years ago, so we want to ask, if there is a big chaos today and people are not having a living, when will it be the end!"
Li Shanchang heard this and burped and said.
"If the world is in chaos, only the chaos can be ruled. If a great hero is born, that is the end of the troubled times."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like this statement in a great chaos and great governance.
My parents, eldest brother, second brother and other relatives all died in a messy world.
"Sir, where is the great hero?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Li Shanchang pointed his hand at Zhu Yuanzhang and said loudly.
"Heroes in troubled times are marshals!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Li Shanchang's words, he was not complacent, but said very seriously.
"Sir, I'm not to hide it. When we rebelled, we were forced to do so. If we were to say that we were a hero, we would be ashamed of being a hero!"
Li Shanchang smiled and said, "Since ancient times, any hero has been forced to rise up, and Emperor Gaozu of Han was helpless to fall into Mangdang Mountain, but he is not far from Haozhou!"
"Why do we think we should be considered a hero?"
Zhu Yuanzhang traveled around since childhood, but he had heard many stories about Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, killing the white snake.
Li Shanchang immediately suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang that to be a hero, he could directly learn from Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang.
The first thing is to do is to follow people without killing people.
If the people surrender, they will be able to obtain sufficient food and soldiers.
