Zuo Junbi's life creed may be that as long as there are enough boats under his feet, no matter how big the waves are, he can't kill me... He has been friends with Zhu Yuanzhang since the Chaohu Navy went out, and after the founding of Han and Song Dynasties, he also sent him to
A generous gift.
Now he has introduced Tian Wan's canonization. If we include Yuan Ting and Zhang Shicheng, who he secretly had an affair with, this person can be regarded as serving all the forces at the moment.
The happiest thing for Zuo Junbi was to hold Han Song's wine glass, drink Tianwan's wine, taste Zhu Yuanzhang's delicacies, and have some Zhang Shicheng's desserts after the meal... It's not enough for Ya!
Being so shrewd, he might have woken up laughing in his dream, thinking that he would never overturn his car in his life, but how could he have imagined that a thief would break his car and expose his plan to the public.
Later, because Liu Futong was in a delicate situation and urgently needed a way to break the situation, he actually accepted Lao Zhu's proposal to form an alliance... Zuo Junbi's death was imminent.
However, when the two big guys met, they both had a tacit understanding and had nothing to do for Zuo Junbi... what a little bastard, not worth mentioning!
We are here to make friends!
"Wu Guogong, is there any good wine?" Liu Futong asked for wine directly when they met. Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "Not only is there wine, but there are also good dishes, waiting for the Taibao to taste!"
Liu Futong also laughed loudly, "Okay, I won't be polite."
The two of them entered Haozhou hand in hand and tasted the delicious food together.
Zhang Ximeng was accompanying him. In fact, at first glance, Liu Futong and Zhu Yuanzhang were very similar. They were both stalwart men, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, and full of aura.
But upon closer inspection, there is a big difference...Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously born from Coptis Lianshui. He was bitter and resentful, had a stubborn donkey temper that would rather die than surrender, and was an indomitable steel man.
Liu Futong, on the other hand, is heroic and generous, with the calmness and condescending self-confidence of a superior person. He is the kind of person who possesses the domineering air of a king.
The difference between the two is obvious. Needless to say, Lao Zhu's life experience, Liu Futong comes from a wealthy family. The reason why he decided to resist the Yuan Dynasty was because when the Yellow River was regulated, the newly built river channel occupied Liu Futong's family.
Liu Futong was so angry that he decided to start an army.
Of course, it is also true that he participated in the operation of the White Lotus Sect very early.
It can only be said that the right time and the right place came together, and it was impossible not to rebel.
According to the background of the two people, it is obvious that Liu Futong should be more calm and generous... But in fact, Liu Futong secretly poisoned Du Zundao and killed him.
On the contrary, Lao Zhu, a man from a bitter background, always pays attention to the right path and the right words.
If we make an inappropriate analogy, Liu Futong, who was born in a wealthy family, is closer to Xiang Yu, while Lao Zhu, who was born in a grassroots family, is more like Liu Bang.
What’s interesting is that a scene that happened in history is about to happen again to two people.
But this time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not give Liu Futong a Hongmen Banquet, but gave him warm hospitality. Both parties drank happily, and only Zhang Ximeng stayed by his side.
Liu Futong didn't pay attention to him at first, but later he heard that Zhang Ximeng was not only Lao Zhu's confidant, but also a member of Mr. Yunzhuang's tribe. Liu Futong was in awe, took the initiative to chat with Zhang Ximeng, and asked: "Mr. Zhang, do you have anything to say?"
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "I am still young and have no words."
Liu Futong immediately said: "How can we do that? You are of noble birth and unusual. It would be too disrespectful to call him by his first name. How about this? I heard Mencius said that if a gentleman cultivates his body and the world is at peace, it is better to use Zi Ping as the word,
How?"
Zhang Ximeng has never chosen a word for himself, and he has also thought about asking someone for help, but no matter what, he never expected that Liu Futong would be the first to propose it... From his heart, Zhang Ximeng doesn't like imposing on himself, but this move
Let Zhang Ximeng see Liu Futong's character.
He does come from a wealthy family, and he cares a lot about things like his name, surname, and nickname, and he also has a sense of respect for his origin. And it seems that he comes from a good family, so he should be generous, but in fact he is more afraid of losing his dignity.
He was dedicated to maintaining good looks, but he did not reject despicable means. Because of this, he could only secretly poison Du Zundao.
Just imagine if it were Zhu Yuanzhang who handled this matter, he would probably seize Du Zundao's excuse and execute him directly, or at worst, he would die in battle.
Anyway, poisoning people is something Lao Zhu can't do.
Liu Futong's behavior was similar to that of Xiang Yu who did not dare to kill people openly and openly at the Hongmen Banquet. Instead, he relied on extreme micro-management to divide the kingdoms and let everyone scheming with each other, and finally got Liu Bang's advantage. Zhang Ximeng felt a little sympathy for this tragic hero.
He smiled slightly and accepted the message from Liu Futong, "Lord, I'm afraid I have to thank Liu Taibao!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, "Ziping, the son of Mencius, is really suitable for bringing peace to the world! Liu Taibao is more knowledgeable than us. On behalf of Mr. Zhang, thank you very much!"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care at all, but accepted it with a smile.
Liu Futong pondered for a moment and also laughed.
It can be seen that he wants to test something...either to ridicule Zhu Yuanzhang for not caring about this confidant, or to remind Zhang Ximeng that you and Zhu Yuanzhang are two people with completely different backgrounds. But in fact, Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang are so close that they cannot be separated by just one word.
On the contrary, both of them are quite satisfied and don't have to waste their brain cells.
As he drank more and more, Liu Futong took the lead in talking, "Wu Guogong, tell me, who can be a hero in this world?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, and Zhang Ximeng also looked solemn. Is this guy going to discuss heroes over wine?
Lao Zhu did not answer in a hurry, but smiled and said: "Mr. Ziping, can you tell us something?"
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "My lord, if I talk about Liu Taibao, it would be a bit boring... Let me start by saying that I think it is unusual for a person who was born as a cloth peddler to become emperor first, occupying several provinces and carrying millions of armors...
…Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui is a hero!”
"Hahaha!" Liu Futong couldn't help but laugh, "If Patriarch Peng is a hero, I still think it makes sense, but Patriarch Peng is dead... Xu Shouhui is just a hawker, he just asked Patriarch Peng to push it out as a signboard. Such as
Today in the kingdom of Wan, if the ministers are strong and the emperor is weak, and they are disloyal, Xu Shouhui will die at the hands of his subordinates sooner or later. He is not a hero!"
Zhang Ximeng listened silently, and Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have a candidate, so he said: "Gaoyou Zhang Shicheng remained unmoved in the face of an army of millions. Now he occupies Huaidong and touches the land of Wu. He can be regarded as a hero."
Liu Futong laughed even louder, "Zhang Shicheng is just a watchdog. He was able to defend Gaoyou only because he relied on your help, Duke Wu. Now that he has taken refuge in the Yuan Dynasty, how can he be considered a hero? When I succeed in the Northern Expedition,
, Zhang Shicheng’s head will definitely be chopped off!”
This man is really courageous... Zhu Yuanzhang secretly smiled in his heart, if you want to kill Zhang Shicheng, you must hurry up, don't let us get the first step!
"If Zhang Shicheng is not counted, what about the princes of the Yuan Dynasty? For example, Badulu and Chahan Timur?"
Mentioning these two people, Liu Futong was startled and said in deep thought: "Answer Badulu killed Nanyang Buwang San, and I suffered many defeats at his hands. But the Yuan Dynasty was stupid and started fighting among themselves.
Continuously, Tuotuo cannot be saved, let alone him! I am confident that I will destroy Badulu! As for Chahan Timur, he seems to have some military strategies. I have sent the Western Expeditionary Army into Guanzhong to defeat Chacha.
It’s not difficult to get rid of Timur!”
Liu Futong grabbed the wine glass, pondered for a long time, then drank it all in one gulp, and said firmly: "These two people will die in my hands!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked solemn and said nothing.
Zhang Ximeng suddenly laughed and said: "Liu Taibao, after talking to so many people, can you now say that the only heroes in the world are Taibao and Lord Er?"
Hearing this, Liu Futong pondered for a moment, became excited, and laughed boldly, "Wu Guogong was born in a humble background, but he was extremely wise, courageous, and talented. He conquered the land of Huaixi and seized the wealth and wealth in the south of the Yangtze River. Now he is aggressively advancing into Jinling. Taiping Road
, Zhenjiang Road, Ningguo Road, Guangde Road, Huizhou Road, Chuzhou Road... invincible, with momentum like a rainbow. If I, Liu Futong, dare to say that Duke Wu Guo is not a hero, everyone in the world will laugh at me for being arrogant!"
Liu Futong changed the topic again, pointed at his nose, and said with a smile: "Wu Guogong, you are a hero, but I, Liu Futong, have done a lot of things over the years! I was the one who carved the one-eyed stone man. I was defeated at first, and later
I was the one who insisted on raising troops and defeated the Yuan army! In the battle of Shahe, 300,000 Yuan soldiers were wiped out! We welcomed back King Xiao Ming and restored the Song Dynasty. Now we are going to launch a large-scale Northern Expedition and destroy the Yuan Dynasty. Tell me,
Am I, Liu Futong, a hero?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled calmly and said, "Liu Taibao is naturally a hero of the world, and we admire him very much!"
Liu Futong said angrily: "Okay! What Wu Guogong said is good! But I just can't figure it out. Why do Du Zundao, Sheng Wenyu and the others insist on going against me? When I talk about the Northern Expedition, they just talk about managing the land in Henan! I have worked hard for them.
King Xiao Ming handles government affairs, but they say that I am ambitious! Don't forget, it was me, Liu Futong, who spent all his wealth and recruited soldiers, which led to today's situation! They all rely on me to support them, and they dare to disobey me.
, they are just a bunch of shameless white-eyed wolves!”
Liu Futong cursed mercilessly and almost admitted that he had killed Du Zundao.
Isn't Liu Futong afraid?
Maybe, he has already mastered all the power in Han and Song Dynasties. Telling Zhu Yuanzhang this now is both a show off and a demonstration! It is equivalent to telling Lao Zhu that from now on, Liu Futong is the only one who has the final say in Han and Song Dynasties. Don't care about any small things.
King Ming.
"Thanks to the Taibao, from now on, our two families will help each other and form an alliance!" Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand, and Liu Futong also stretched out his hand and held it tightly!
After a drink, Liu Futong said goodbye and left without further entanglements... The boss just wanted to set the tone and let the people below discuss the specific cooperation.
In other words, next is Zhang Ximeng’s stage.
"Sir, Liu Futong calls himself a hero, but we think that poisoning in secret is not a hero! Who do you think is the real hero, sir?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
Zhang Ximeng hesitated slightly and suddenly uttered two words: "People!"
Zhu Yuanzhang tightened his face and nodded vigorously, "What you said is absolutely true!"
