Chang Yuchun glanced at Zhang Bixian, who was kneeling in front of him. His helmet had long gone, and the armor on his body was damaged in many places, stained with blood, and in some places, the skin and flesh were even torn, exposing the bones.
Chang Yuchun closed his eyes slightly and remembered the time when Zhang Bi first led a fleet to attack Hukou, almost injuring Lao Zhu. He caught up and shot an arrow, finally resolving the crisis.
At that time, the rivers were competing for supremacy, but now Zhang Bixian has become a prisoner of his own subordinates. It is really sad!
"Po Zhang, now that you have fallen into my hands, what do you say?"
Zhang Bixian tried his best to open his eyes wide and said in a low voice: "I, I want to see the Emperor of Heaven!"
"Meeting a superior?" Chang Yuchun laughed loudly, "Who do you think you are, that you can also meet a superior in my family?"
Zhang Bixian gritted his teeth. The wound hurt and he lost so much blood that he almost fainted.
But at this critical moment of life and death, he was not allowed to faint.
"Chang, General Chang! You, although you have captured me, I am Chen Youliang's lieutenant after all. I am in charge of the army. I have hundreds of thousands of people in my old army... Isn't this capital enough to meet the emperor of tomorrow?"
Chang Yuchun said nothing with a sullen face, just looking down.
Zhang Bixian gritted his teeth and continued: "I, I thought that the Emperor of Heaven has the heart to encompass the world and unify the universe. He naturally tolerates the whole world, so how can he be stingy about seeing a captured person?"
Chang Yuchun rolled his eyes slightly and said, "Take him to see the superior."
The men agreed and carried Zhang Bi down first. When they arrived at the entrance of the tent, Chang Yuchun reminded him again: "Remember to give him some gold sore medicine and some ginseng soup."
Zhang Bi heard this first and reluctantly squeezed out two words from the corner of his mouth: "Thank you!"
The guy was carried down, and Zhu Wenzheng couldn't help but stand up and said to Chang Yuchun: "The Governor, Zhang Bixian is known as Po Zhang. He is not only a fierce general under Chen Youliang, but also a madman... He has been killed by him over the years.
There are countless people, including countless innocent people. Why should such a person be kept? Even the superiors will not keep him!"
Chang Yuchun listened patiently and suddenly smiled, "You think I don't know?"
Zhu Wenzheng was stunned, "Since the Governor knows, why bother?"
Chang Yuchun laughed loudly and then said: "You are still too young. You will understand gradually. We just wait for the upper hand."
In this way, Zhang Bixian was sent to Zhu Yuanzhang. At the same time, Zhang Ximeng also met this famous general.
"Sin, the sinner paid homage to Your Majesty and met Mr. Zhang."
Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent, but Zhang Ximeng asked curiously: "How do you know me?"
Zhang Bixian said hurriedly: "The sinner's surname is Zhang, and his ancestral home is also from Shandong. There are many sages in Shandong. At these times, the sinner also asked others to read Prime Minister Zhang's articles, and he was quite admired and admired."
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to read my article! So what are your plans at this moment?"
Zhang Bixian pondered for a while, then struggled hard. He didn't have the strength to kneel down, so he could only touch the ground with his head, and then said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and Prime Minister Zhang has unparalleled knowledge. How can Chen Youliang, the rotten grass and the fluorescent grass, compare with the Ming Dynasty? Sinner,
The sinner is willing to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty. He regards your majesty as his father and Zhang Xiang as his teacher. As long as the sinner is the vanguard, he will win in the attack and defeat in the battle. Destroying Chen can only be done with the back of his hand!" He said excitedly, raising his head and looking at Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang.
, quite a bit like Xiao Feng met Master Dong first.
Take me in now!
If it weren't for my age, I would have worshiped my adoptive father.
"My lord, Zhang Bixian is Chen Youliang's general and a fierce general. If he is willing to surrender, he can indeed shake Chen Han's army... But this matter involves the major matter of how to conquer Huguang. Please let me know what you want to choose."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled calmly and said, "Chen Youliang bit the master twice, and his subordinates were all vying to betray him. This is called bringing the blame on oneself, and no one can blame him. We have brought our army here, do we have to imitate Chen Youliang and follow the same old path?"
Lao Zhu asked with a smile, Zhang Ximeng nodded repeatedly and praised: "My lord Sheng Rui, you are indeed extraordinary."
The king and his ministers were talking and did not pay any attention to Zhang Fengxian, whose face had turned pale.
"Lord, in this case, I think I can pass down the decree and tell Chang Yuchun and other generals... I told Wuchang City that this battle is to punish the people and eradicate Chen Ni. For those who have committed heinous crimes, even if they want to spare them, they cannot
Going against the will of the people, you can clearly tell Chen Youliang that his death is coming. As for those who have never done evil, or who have done little evil and are willing to change their evil ways, Ming Dynasty will naturally make some allowances as appropriate. But they must also hurry up and make plans in advance.
Don't wait for the army to enter the city, it will be too late!"
After listening to Zhang Ximeng's words, Zhang Bixian was completely dumbfounded.
He didn't understand, given his identity, why didn't he accept his surrender?
It makes absolutely no sense!
"Your Majesty, come on! You want to rule the world! Zhang Bixian is absolutely indispensable...I, I am willing to be your majesty's lackey...I, I can worship your majesty as my adoptive father!"
In order to survive, Zhang Bixian spoke unscrupulously, and Zhu Yuanzhang became furious!
"What we, the great emperor, want is for the people of the world to be upright, straight-backed, and upright! We don't need lackeys and hawks. We drag him down and send him to the gates of Wuchang City to be punished clearly and then punish him.
Say something, tell everyone!"
The soldiers of the Gongwei Division quickly agreed, and Zhang Bixian returned to the battlefield and was in the hands of Chang Yuchun. At the same time, he also received this explanation from Lao Zhu.
Chang Yuchun laughed loudly, "This is the time to kill this beast!"
"Towed away!"
The people below agreed immediately and took action immediately. They escorted Zhang Bixian to the gate of Wuchang City.
During this period, bad news one after another reached Chen Youliang's ears, but there was no good news at all.
Xu Da has conquered Huangzhou, cleared away Chen Youliang's influence in Jiangbei, and locked him firmly in Jiangnan.
Valley
On the other side, a rich man in Yuezhou invited Tang He to enter Yuezhou, and then the army rushed down the river and rushed over.
On the front, Chang Yuchun mobilized an army of 80,000 to capture the city and land, and directly reached the gates of Wuchang City.
With the sound of singing from all sides, Chen Youliang didn't have much time left.
"Chen Youliang, this is your confidant Zhang Bixian. In order to survive, he not only wants to rebel against you, but also acts as a hawk for the superiors!"
Chen Youliang was at the top of the city. Although he did not show his face, it was clear that his face was extremely ugly and he was gnashing his teeth, wishing he could devour Mr. Zhang Bi.
Unfortunately, more words that break people's defenses came.
"Chen Youliang, you regard Zhang Bixian as your treasure, but how can such a capricious beast get into the eyes of a superior? If he wants to be a hawk for a superior, he eats broad beans in the latrine, how can he open his mouth!"
"Your baby, in the eyes of the superiors, is just a bastard who must be put to death!"
"Brothers Chen Jun in the city, listen... don't do stupid things, let alone follow Chen Youliang to death! We have an account, and the people also have an account in their hearts. As long as you are really innocent and don't have too many evil deeds, you can
I can turn over a new leaf and become an upright person! But for a beast like Zhang Bixian, who has great public anger and deserves to die, no matter whether he surrenders or not, the superiors will not spare him!"
"Come here! Put Zhang Bi first up!"
Sure enough, soldiers drove over the prepared carriage with a wooden frame erected on it. The soldiers were busy and tied Zhang Bi to the wooden frame.
Perhaps feeling that his life was over, Zhang Bixian burst into tears and begged loudly for mercy!
"Don't kill me, don't! I am willing to surrender and serve the superior. I am willing to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty! Spare me! Let me serve the superior and be loyal!"
Zhang Bixian's pleas did not move the Ming army, but instead angered Chen Youliang who was hiding behind the crenel!
Beast, indeed a beast!
I, Chen Youliang, am so blind that I would reuse this thing that betrays its master!
"Kill! Kill for me!"
Chen Youliang actually drew his bow and shot an arrow at Zhang Bixian.
Unfortunately, the distance between the two sides was too far. Chen Youliang's arrow flew some distance before landing on the ground, still more than ten steps away from Zhang Bixian.
But Chen Youliang was already going crazy and roared loudly: "Shoot, shoot with a crossbow! Kill the beast!"
Faced with this situation, the Ming army was also a little confused. It was obvious that they wanted to kill Zhang Bixian, but Chen Youliang actually took the initiative to do it for him.
What should I do?
"Come back!"
Chang Yuchun issued an order for these people to return.
The crossbows on the city are also ready.
There were twenty crossbows large enough to shoot through eight layers of cowhide, and they aimed at Zhang Bixian and started shooting.
Although the distance is sufficient, the accuracy is hard to say.
But based on probability calculation, no matter how small the chance is, as long as the number of times is enough, it will still happen.
In the third round of shooting, an arrow more than three feet long penetrated Zhang Bixian's chest. Not only did his sternum and ribs break, but his spine and the wooden frame that tied him collapsed together.
Zhang Bixian convulsed for a while, finally bled dry and died at the foot of Wuchang City.
Chen Youliang's pupils were bloodshot. Killing Zhang Bixian made him feel not happy but powerless. Even this guy betrayed him, so how could he continue to fight?
Chen Youliang gritted his teeth, managed to calm down, and came up with the last resort.
"Commander Chang Da on the other side! You handed this beast to me, which shows that you are still a hero! I am willing to join the Ming Dynasty in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and restore the Han family's rivers and mountains. Let's not fight... You will fight to the death, and the Han people will be harmed. Let them be in vain
What a Mongolian joke! Governor Changda, what do you think?"
Chen Youliang shouted toward the city wall several times in a row.
"We are all heroes of the Han family. Why should we fight to the death? Wouldn't it be better for each of us to take a step back?"
After a while, Chang Yuchun still didn't answer, but many big local Huguang merchants came out from the Ming army. They glared at the city head full of ridicule.
"Chen Youliang, what's the difference between you now and the dead Zhang Bixian? Sure enough, there is a master and a servant. You guys are all in the same boat!"
Chen Youliang was furious, "You, you have also taken refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang?"
Aren't the Zhu Jiajun and the big households enemies of life and death?
Are these people crazy?
"Chen Ni! Unless we are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty! Under your rule, no one will survive! After the defeat of Hukou, you blackmailed the people and blackmailed the merchants! There have been more than 20 large households, and you have forced them to lose their families.
!”
"Chen Youliang, you are what you are today because of it!"
