Guo Zixing's indignant look made Zhang Ximeng want to laugh. If you were really sincere, just come here with your head in front!
After all, the love between father and son is deep. No matter how angry Guo Zixing is, he will not really kill Guo Tianxu. But he has to perform this scene. Without him, if such a big thing happens, Guo Zixing must give an explanation to the other party.
Now that the initiative is in Lao Zhu's hands, it depends on how Zhu Yuanzhang will take the initiative.
"Commander, I have a few words from my heart that I would like to say."
"Speak!" Guo Zixing said without hesitation, "I will listen to you whatever you say."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and said: "We want to ask the commander-in-chief to spare one person."
"Who? Is it this beast?" He pointed at Guo Tianxu and roared angrily: "I still have a son. Even if I kill him, I won't be able to survive. Stop interceding on his behalf!"
Guo Tianxu knelt on the ground, trembling all over, how miserable he was!
Lao Zhu shook his head slightly, "Commander, the person we are talking about is King Yongyi, Marshal Zhao Zhao Junyong!"
"What?"
Guo Zixing was furious, and the wounds all over his body ached.
Ridiculous, no one can be spared but Zhao Junyong!
This beast attacked me secretly, arrested me, and tried to kill me. To repay kindness with hatred, he should be cut into pieces!
"Jongba, I, I was almost killed, are you unwilling to avenge me?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was unmoved. His guess was indeed correct. Even if Guo Zixing was not acting and he really wanted to hand over his subordinates to him, he would not be very interested.
Because if you take over this power, you will have to avenge Guo Zixing, and you will have to fall out with Zhao Jun.
Don't look at it, Lao Zhu has obtained thousands of horses and a lot of armor, and his equipment is better than Zhao Junyong. However, the training time of the soldiers is not long and the running-in is not enough. Moreover, someone escaped just now, and Lao Zhu did not have time to deal with it.
This proves that his subordinates are far from invincible. If they fight against Zhao Jun, they may be able to win, but the result will definitely be a pile of chicken feathers.
After Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it again and again, he felt more and more that Haozhou was not a place to use force.
This area is not rich in products, especially short of food. In addition, several groups of red scarves get together and fight with each other, making it difficult to develop.
Lao Zhu can't wait to go south, so it's best to stabilize Haozhou, even if it's only for a while.
"Commander, Zhao Jun gathered 20,000 to 30,000 people and claimed the throne first. If he falls out with him now, firstly, he is not strong enough, and secondly, he will only benefit Yuan Tatar. The commander-in-chief should put the overall situation first!"
Guo Zixing's face suddenly turned ugly. He was full of resentment now. He was plotted against for no reason, and his son had no future. If he didn't settle this account with Zhao Junyong, he would be crazy.
"Chongba, you talk about the overall situation, but others don't! Zhao Jun avenged his revenge with daring kindness and became murderous. No matter what, he can't be spared!" Guo Zixing took the initiative to get close to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Chongba, you can fight, my subordinates
The soldiers and horses are also elite... As long as Zhao Junyong is destroyed, all my inheritance will be yours!"
Good guy, I just said that I would kill the traitor and give the inheritance to Zhu Yuanzhang, but now I have taken a big step back and have to destroy Zhao Junyong. Once Zhao Junyong is destroyed, I don’t know how far he will retreat.
Zhang Ximeng simply turned his head to the side and didn't look at it.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang looked solemn. He sighed slightly and then said: "Commander, we really don't want to see each other fighting each other. Haozhou has just experienced war and the people are suffering too much. Tens of thousands of people have raised their weapons and I don't know how many will die."
People, and now is the time for spring plowing. After fighting, the harvest will be gone. Even if we can win, what will we eat in the autumn? Will we go to rob? As the leader of a party, the commander-in-chief should be more considerate of the people."
Guo Zixing had a dark face and was filled with anger. Zhu Chongba was getting more and more creative. He originally said that although he was developing independently, he still listened to his own orders. Now that he saw it, it was nonsense. Even if he asked him to beat Zhao Junyong, he would not agree.
, this little bald thief is really not a good thing!
"Chongba, you must be unwilling to help me vent my anger?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Commander, it is really not appropriate to start a war at this moment. I also plan to send troops south to explore in Dingyuan. If we can open up another world, everything will be easy."
"What?" Guo Zixing was shocked. He almost doubted his ears. Zhu Yuanzhang actually wanted to go south? What did he think?
"Chongba, do you think Haozhou is too small? As long as you annex Zhao Junyong's troops, capture Sizhou, and seize Huai'an, the world will be yours..."
Before Guo Zixing finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head. Unexpectedly, Guo Zixing also planned to develop eastward, or maybe he just wanted to keep him as a thug!
"Commander, we have discussed it with everyone and will go south soon. The matter in Haozhou needs to be handled properly by the commander. Zhao Junyong offended the commander, so naturally he will not let it go. He must be allowed to visit.
Apologize, and then everyone can get back together, work together in the same boat, and fight Yuan Tatar..."
Zhu Yuanzhang proposed the idea of going south, which completely disrupted Guo Zixing's mind.
In his opinion, Haozhou's foundation is very valuable and can be exchanged for Zhu Yuanzhang's allegiance. As for whether it can be passed on to him in the future, it depends on Zhu Yuanzhang's performance. If his son is really incompetent and Zhu Yuanzhang is obedient, it is not a bad idea.
Of course, he is only fifty years old and in good health, so he will not let go so quickly. He will wait three to five years, ten to eight years, and then pass it on to Zhu Yuanzhang. He will be old and can hand over power with peace of mind.
This person has thought so much, but he has never thought that Zhu Yuanzhang actually looked down on Haozhou and wanted to develop on his own!
Guo Zixing no longer knew how to use it, and even forgot about Zhao Jun's use.
"Chongba, do you really want to leave?"
"Well!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded vigorously, "The Yuan Tatars have robbed the territory of the Han people, and they must take it back. After leaving the humble position, the commander-in-chief should take care of himself!"
Guo Zixing confirmed again and again that when he saw that Lao Zhu was sincere, he couldn't help but think... Zhu Yuanzhang's departure can be regarded as a piece of his heart. As for Zhao Junyong, maybe he can let it go. A gentleman's revenge will last ten years.
not late!
But there is one thing, the person named Zhao must come to the door to apologize, otherwise there will be no place for his old face!
After talking about this, Zhu Yuanzhang had nothing to say. He just asked Guo Zixing to rest, and then he said goodbye to Zhang Ximeng... They did not leave the city, but went to the small courtyard next to the Marshal's Mansion.
In this small courtyard, Zhu Yuanzhang married his wife and began to change his life; in this small courtyard, Zhang Ximeng recovered his health and decided to follow Lao Zhu. Once he goes south, it will take a long time to come back and revisit his old place...
Zhang Ximeng packed up the things in the study, including books, Molan Tu, the study plan he gave Lao Zhu, and even Mu Ying's tiger head hat... Everything was packed and put into boxes, and they were packed together.
There are still a few months of wonderful memories.
Zhu Yuanzhang entered the city and rescued Guo Zixing, and all the pressure fell on Zhao Junyong.
Especially Lao Zhu didn't say anything and didn't break up with each other directly, which made Zhao Junyong not know what to do. As expected, Zhao Junyong and Sun Deya even got into trouble.
Originally, the two of them wanted to work together to deal with Guo Zixing, and then deal with Peng Da later.
But now Guo Zixing is safe and sound, and Peng Da is eyeing him. Once they join forces, the weak combination of the two of them will really not work!
what to do?
Will the fish die and the net be broken? Or lead the troops to flee?
At this time, more than a hundred of the Haozhou gentry, prominent figures, came to the outside of Zhao Junyong's camp and knelt down together.
The leader came to Zhao Jun with a blood letter on his head.
Please King Yongyi, for the sake of the folks in Haozhou, no matter what happened in the past, he will come to apologize to Marshal Guo and resolve the hatred. Everyone will work together in the same boat and continue to protect Haozhou and fight against the Yuan Tatars.
This statement also confused Zhao Junyong.
What are you guys getting involved in the matter between him and Guo Zixing?
Zhao Junyong didn't realize it, but Sun Deya did. He walked up to the big guy without saying anything, and his eyes were red.
"Fellow folks, I understand what you all mean. Thank you for reminding me. I won't be confused anymore." Sun Deya turned to look at Zhao Junyong and said heartbrokenly: "King Yongyi! Marshal Zhao! If the people's sentiment is like this, is it really necessary?
Do it right with everyone?”
Sun Deya's questioning made Zhao Junyong shudder and his heart became completely cold. Even Sun Deya betrayed him, and he really became a loner.
"Sure enough, you are all from Haozhou!"
Zhao Jun gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
At this time, Peng Da came again, and he was willing to guarantee Zhao Junyong's safety... At this point, Zhao Junyong had no other choice but to run to Guo Zixing to plead guilty, naked and carrying a thorn stick.
It doesn't matter what they say anymore. Zhu Yuanzhang really doesn't want to get involved in these crappy things and waste energy. He's leaving!
But just when Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng left the small courtyard and prepared to return to Linhuai, countless people had gathered outside. There were more than a few thousand people, and more people were pouring in this way.
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, someone knelt down and cried, "Thank you, Mr. Zhu! Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for resolving the conflict, avoiding the disaster of war, and saving everyone!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly startled. It turned out that his efforts and thoughts were not in vain.
"Folks, we, we don't know what to say, anyway, we are from Haozhou, we can't let the folks down!"
"well said!"
From the crowd, many young men came out. The leader was Li Xincai, who had tried to follow Lao Zhu. "Master Zhu, no matter where you go, we will listen to you! Take the big guys with you!"
"We are all willing to follow Mr. Zhu!" hundreds of young people shouted in unison with a determined attitude.
