Early the next morning, Li Wenzhong brought his men, Han Shuangzi and others to visit Wuxu. He said that Zhu Yuanzhang had learned that Wuxu was at Qixia Temple and had personally led an army to march towards Jiqing. Xu was naturally happy and wanted to see how majestic and powerful the former junior brother Rujing was now, so he took Guo Min to meet Zhu Yuanzhang. Li Wenzhong asked Wuxu to wait for a while. Then Kang Maocai sent someone over, and it wouldn't be too late to leave.
In this year, Zhang Shicheng attacked Pingjiang in a large scale after occupying Tongzhou and Changshu in eastern Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Zhu Yuanzhang also took the opportunity to approach Jiqing. In total, this was his third attack on Jiqing. The first two times were both It is a tentative attack.
During the second attack on Jiqing, Chen Yexian, a fallen general of the Yuan army, could not stand Zhu Yuanzhang's taking his family members as hostages, and wanted to rebel again. Zhu Yuanzhang learned the information from the lieutenant colonel of the army but kept it secret, and still allowed his adoptive father Guo Zixing's brother-in-law Guo Tianxu to do so. His son Zhang Tianyou led troops to attack Jiqing. As a result, Chen Yexian conspired with the Yuan army in Jiqing City. Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou died in the rebellion. Chen Yexian was also mistakenly thought by the local township regiment to have joined the Red Scarf Army and was ambushed and killed. Chen Ye preceded his son, and Chen Zhaoxian took over his old ministry, "tunfangshan, just around the corner from The Hague to get a glimpse of peace."
Taiping is today's Dangtu in Anhui. After Zhu Yuanzhang captured Hezhou, his troops grew stronger and the food problem became increasingly prominent. It happened that two Chaohu naval forces sent envoys to contact them because of the internal fighting between the Red Turban Army. At the meeting, they boarded the ship and attacked the quarry on the other side of the Yangtze River. They obtained a large amount of supplies. They also ordered people to cut the ship's cables and release all the ships into the river, cutting off their own retreat. They also promised heavy profits and conquered Taiping in one go. , Zhu Yuanzhang used another trick to get Li Guosheng, the leader of the Chaohu Navy, drunk in Shenjiang River while serving wine on the bow of the ship, and gained the Chaohu Navy. From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang had his first navy. Zhu Yuanzhang , following the advice of his counselors Li Xi, Tao An and others, he set up the Taiping Xingguoyi Marshal's Mansion in Taiping and waited for an opportunity to seize Jiqing from the east in order to achieve hegemony.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang used the Chaohu navy to defeat the barbarian Hague navy in Caishi, and also captured Lishui, Liyang, Jurong, Wuhu, etc. around Jiqing, surrounded it on all sides, and was actively deploying land and water divisions to prepare for the third The first attack on Jiqing. Kang Maocai, the naval marshal in Jiqing City, seeing that the situation was in danger, secretly sent a special envoy to surrender. Zhu Yuanzhang sent his adopted son Li Wenzhong to meet with him at Qixia Temple.
Wuxu waited in the temple for a day, and then Kang Maocai came. It turned out that the war was tense, and all the forces in the city had spread many spies to monitor each other. Kang Maocai, the marshal of the navy, attracted people's attention, and it was not easy to get there. Taking advantage of my mother's birthday, I organized a group of sergeants, led a few lamas, surrounded my old mother and other family members, and went to Qixia Temple to burn incense and repay my vows.
After Kang Maocai met with Li Wenzhong and others at night, he handed over the military defense map outside Jiqing City. Li Wenzhong handed the map to Wuxu. Wuxu took Guo Min and left Qixia Temple that night, turned around to the southwest, and bypassed From Jiqing City, fly directly to Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang's Taiping Xingguoyi Mansion.
When they arrived fifty miles south of Jiqing City, Wuxu saw a sea of torches below and galloping soldiers and horses, so he said to Guo Min, "With such a huge momentum outside the city, it must be where Junior Brother Rujing's military camp is." After that, the two of them started. Fall slowly.
In the commander's tent of the military camp, Zhu Yuanzhang was discussing various matters regarding the attack on Jiqing with his civil and military subordinates. Suddenly, a sergeant reported outside the tent that there was a monk who claimed to be Wuxu, and he was bringing a woman with him, seeking to see him outside the camp.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered Chang Yuchun to lead Jiang into the sea. Jiang Ruchun went out of the camp to greet him first, and he came later with Li Shanchang, Xu Da and many other men.
Wuxu and Guo Min, led by Chang Yuchun and others, entered the military camp. After walking less than a mile, they saw Zhu Yuanzhang and others coming towards them.
In the clear light of the moon, under the torches of the sword-wielding sergeants around him, Wuxu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was gradually becoming clearer from a hundred meters away, but saw that he was wearing a black robe, walking calmly, with sharp eyes, and many people following behind him. He was very happy in his heart.
, he is worthy of being the marshal of the rebel army who is less than thirty years old! He quickly stepped forward, clasped his hands and said with a smile, "How about we say goodbye to Jiangjiacun, Junior Brother Rujing?" The blue sea grew in front of him, and the white lotus appeared.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he clasped his hands on his chest, rubbed them, smiled, walked around Wuxu, clapped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Wuxu, I really want to kill Zhu Yuanzhang! Now the treasure is solemn, I am very happy!" Then,
While constantly introducing the literati and military officers around him, he held Wuxu's hand and walked towards the handsome tent.
After entering the commander's tent, someone had already prepared a banquet. Everyone took their seats. Zhu Yuanzhang arranged Wuxu and Guo Min to sit together and placed them at the upper left corner.
After three glasses of wine, Wuxu recounted his experiences after parting ways in Jiangjia Village. On the way, he said that in Dadu, with Duoji, Zhuoda and others under Basiba, they protected the dragon veins and fought hard.
The demons of the East China Sea and even Long Qian stole the dragon's energy and amassed troops in the Fuso Island Kingdom. While everyone cheered, they also lashed out.
Wuxu glanced at Guo Min and saw that he was silent, so he reported that the East China Sea Demon Alliance incited demon cultivators in Pojunshanfang City to secretly assist the Yuan army and cooperated with Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen to attack the Red Scarf Army.
Don't show it.
Suddenly, Xu Da, who was sitting next to him on the left hand side, stood up and raised his glass, saying, "Xu Da, I have heard the name of the master from the marshal a long time ago, and now I have heard the master talking about such heroic deeds, so I must make a toast."
." Let's talk and lead a few people,
He raised his head and drank the wine in the cup. Wu Xu knew that the calm and capable Xu Da in front of him, as well as Tang He and others behind him, were Zhu Yuanzhang's playmates when he was a child. They were deeply trusted and respected, and they each established their own illustrious achievements.
I don't dare to neglect my military exploits, and I raise my glass in return.
Afterwards, Li Shanchang, who was on the opposite side, also stood up and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I still have the glory of Master Wuxu tonight. Your Majesty, there has been a strict order for a long time. Alcohol is strictly prohibited in the army, otherwise he will be killed immediately." Wuxu.
look back
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Haha, tonight, Senior Brother Wuxu and I are ordered to go out of the mountain gate. It is our first time to get together. We should have a drink with all my dear friends. However, the word "big king" is just a matter of course.
Too early."
Wuxu smiled slightly and remembered the historical records of later generations. In the early days, Zhu Yuanzhang had always followed the strategy of "building walls high, accumulating grain widely, and becoming king slowly". Now in the commander's tent, these people have already called him the king openly and secretly. Again.
I looked at the middle-aged and old Confucian scholars sitting opposite, who were full of dignity and energy, and felt
I wonder: Could it be that my own time travel has caused history to change or speed up? The Liu Ji, Song Lian and others in front of me are recorded in later history books. After Jiqing was conquered and renamed Yingtian Mansion, they invited and even coerced and induced them many times.
He was just invited; now, he is already sitting in the handsome tent outside Jiqing City.
With this thought in his mind, he really said something. After drinking another drink, he took out the military defense map presented by Kang Maocai from his arms. With a flick of his fingers, he slowly sent it to Zhu Yuanzhang's desk. Zhu Yuanzhang reached out to take it and looked through it.
, held it up in his hand, and proudly said to the crowd, "With this picture, the festival can be held just around the corner."
Everyone had already known about Kang Maocai's surrender. When they saw Zhu Yuanzhang holding up the picture and saying this, they all applauded and toasted to Zhu Yuanzhang.
After Zhu Yuanzhang drank the toasts, he smiled at Wuxu and said, "After Jiqing is conquered, Yuanzhang will build a temple larger than Tianyuan Yansheng Temple. Senior brother, you will be the abbot, how about it?"
Chang Yuchun shouted from the side, "Yes, when the time comes, Master Wuxu will be the national teacher of our White Lotus Sect." Immediately, several generals echoed. Li Shanchang, who was opposite, also faced Wuxu and Guo Min.
He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "This is very good. I am afraid that Master Wuxu will not be dead in the world of mortals. I don't want to think about the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Chang Yuchun, then at Wuxu and Guo Min beside him, and looked at Wuxu with a smile. The tent gradually became quieter.
Wuxu smiled, clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, junior brother. Wuxu pursues the great road wholeheartedly and travels around. He is not used to living in big temples and cannot be a national teacher."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said to everyone, "My senior brother is very active by nature. I remember when he led me to play around in Miaofa Peak, catching birds and eggs, roasting fish and drinking wine. There is a poem saying, 'The wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha sits in the heart.
'
." Everyone laughed, and Wuxu couldn't help but recall the "absurd" years with Zhu Yuanzhang at Miaofa Peak. He couldn't stop laughing "bitterly", and the atmosphere in the tent became lively again. Everyone kept asking for drinks and talking loudly.
Seeing the excitement in the tent, Zhu Yuanzhang also took advantage of his drunkenness, got up and stepped down from his position, came to Wuxu, looked at Wuxu carefully from beginning to end, and said sadly, "Farewell to Jiangjiacun.
Rujing thought she would never see Senior Brother Wuxu again. When we saw him today, he almost didn’t dare to recognize him."
Wuxu felt warm in his heart and said, "Everything that exists is false. Although Wuxu is blond and blue-eyed now, he is still the mischievous little novice monk at Miaofa Peak back then. But Junior Brother Rujing, you returned to secular life and rebelled, between life and death,
Please take care of yourself."
The two of them couldn't help but sigh.
Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Junior brother, I have no choice. I wanted to live a good life and practice in Huangjue Temple, but due to fate, I joined the battlefield. Senior brother, can you stay and help junior brother?"
Although the commander's tent is large, the voice of the commander Zhu Yuanzhang can be heard by everyone. As soon as these words came out, the tent gradually became quiet.
Wuxu thought for a while and replied, "The world is changing. Although senior brother is an outsider, he still has a passion and can help junior brother." As soon as these words came out, Chang Yuchun and others showed smiles, and
The others waited and became increasingly quiet.
"However, Wuxu is indeed devoted to pursuing the great road. When junior brother you capture Jiqing and settle down, Wuxu will leave." Wuxu changed the subject, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a slightly disappointed look, patted Wuxu's shoulder, and said lowly
He said, "Let's talk about it later."
As the saying goes
Master brothers at Miaofa Peak, we will meet again in the military camp.
Wise and powerful generals look around and see that there is no shortage of novice monks to return.
