Daming prepares the emperor

Comrade Zhu overturned.

A few months later, Zhu Biao realized this numbly while holding the newly delivered military newspaper in his hand.

The emperor caught it and got it, but the car overturned.

Zhu Yuanzhang went out this time to Anfeng to save King Ming.King Xiaoming was rescued, but Anfeng was taken away by Zhang Shicheng. Chen Youliang's army also took this opportunity to sweep in again. What Liu Ji worried about finally happened.

And it's the worst kind of doubling that happens.

In order to save people, Comrade Zhu took away many of his subordinates, but Xu Da and Chang Yuchun led troops to Luzhou. Now it is empty, and the towns are distributed along the Yangtze River and the Qinhuai area. Chen Youliang's navy So good, this time he came by boat, the chance of victory is much greater than the battle of Longwan.

The military newspaper in Zhu Biao's hand is about Hongdu. Not long after Zhu Wenzheng went there, Chen Youliang called. It is said that he has 60 soldiers, strong ships and powerful guns. It is difficult to defend Hongdu. ascend to heaven.

But the city had to defend.In terms of troop deployment and mobilization, Comrade Zhu had time to mobilize troops only if Chen Youliang was held back in Hongdu.From the perspective of geographical location and strategy, Hongdu was defended, and when the rescue came, the team could be assembled to fight Chen Youliang elsewhere.If you can't keep it, you can only watch him drive straight in, throwing away a few places to find a chance to breathe!

Zhu Wenzheng had been on the defensive for dozens of days, and he couldn't hold on any longer. Letters were sent everywhere, desperately asking for help.

Although his people are impetuous and his thinking is not good enough, his ability to march and fight is really impressive. He is very powerful. Now that he has such a performance, it seems that Hongdu is really in danger.

Zhu Biao walked back and forth in the study, thinking about the solution to this matter, his head was getting dizzy.He poured himself a cup of tea, and before he had a sip, someone announced from outside the study that Master Liu had come.

Liu Bowen's back was still straight. Although he was disappointed in his heart, he didn't have any worried or angry expression on his face. He still walked dignifiedly and steadily, with fluttering sleeves, very strong, and his demeanor was very strong. good.

In terms of action, he was wearing Shaqing clothes today, and when he hurried up the stairs, the long sleeves of his toga hurriedly swept across the door frame, so he was still in a hurry.

"Sir." Zhu Biao hurriedly handed over the tea at hand.

Liu Ji first bowed and saluted, then took the tea, drank it in one gulp, and then began to talk: "Have you received the military report, my lord?"

"I received this copy about Hongdu."

Zhu Biao pointed to the stack of papers on the table.

"That's exactly what I'm talking about." Liu Ji said, "Just now we have discussed the regulations internally, prepared a plan for dispatching military supplies, and other miscellaneous matters have also been properly arranged."

"Mister, you've worked hard. So what should we do about this matter? How to solve the difficulties in Hongdu?" Zhu Biao asked hastily.

"There is no other way but to rely on defending the city."

"Can you keep it?"

Liu Ji shook his head: "It's very difficult. You have read the military newspaper, so you must have seen the news about Chen Youliang's march."

Zhu Biao nodded.

"The big ship can carry 3000 people, and the small boat can carry 2000 people. They are all built with three floors. On the deck, horses can be run, soldiers can be deployed, and artillery can be installed. Such a ship is not easy to fight."

Not only is it difficult to handle, this ship is outrageous, it already sounds like an ancient version of an aircraft carrier.

It seems that the battle of Longwan made Chen Youliang reflect a lot, but he didn't find his fault. Instead, he attributed all the reasons for the failure to the problem of ships, and vigorously developed his military equipment.

But this method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause is really enough for the current Comrade Zhu to drink a pot.

Liu Ji paused, and then said: "The newspaper said that Chen Youliang sent 60 troops down the river. 60 is still a lot, but it will never be lower than 30."

The situation was already critical, and this analysis made it even more dangerous.Right now all the hopes are pinned on Zhu Wenzheng, other people, no matter who they are, no matter if it is Old Comrade Zhu, Liu Bowen, or Zhu Biao himself, they can only act in a hurry.

The air in the room slowly became silent, Liu Ji sat on a chair, and the servants brought pastries and tea for guests, and he only ate a few.

Zhu Biao sat down opposite him, a little puzzled, he couldn't figure out why Liu Ji came to find him, logically speaking, he went to Li Shanchang, Song Lian, Ye Chen, or Yang Xian, all of which were better than coming here. Find yourself to be easy to use.

Because to be honest, Zhu Biao's current military capabilities are simply not enough.He had never been to a battlefield, nor had he killed anyone.Of course, with those eyes, you can see the weather and the geography, so it won't be bad if you go there, but there is no need for him to go to the battlefield.

Not that chance either.

After a while, Liu Ji finally spoke.

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs." He said slowly, "At least the commander has found an emperor for himself as he wished."

No matter how detrimental the words sounded, Zhu Biao's eyes became a little complicated, but he finally grasped a topic, so he asked, "Sir, where is Xiao Ming Wang now?"

"The commander sent him to Chuzhou."

"Chuzhou?" Zhu Biao thought that Comrade Zhu would bring people to Yingtian, and he was even ready to meet King Xiaoming.

"Chuzhou is close to here, just build a palace and put people there. Then change all the people around King Xiaoming to make him calm down. The commander is not a waste of time." Liu Ki didn't care much about that.

It's not the end of Han Dynasty now.The Red Scarf Army started as a peasant uprising, it didn’t last long, the political power was not stable, there were many factions, it was divided, and there was no long-term ideological baptism, so there was no need to worry about someone insisting on supporting him, and doing something similar to the clothes. moth.

Having said that, it is quite Zhu Yuanzhang's way of handling it, just find a place to put it aside, and with Liu Bowen who is not satisfied with this, the life of King Xiaoming may be miserable.

Liu Ji suddenly took out something from his sleeve, it was a letter, and he handed the letter to Zhu Biao with a familiar smile on his face.

He seemed to no longer take Hongdu's affairs as a matter, nor did he take Xiaomingwang's affairs as a matter, as if he had completely shifted his attention to the conversation with Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao took the paper and opened it for a look. There were only a few big characters scribbled on it, which were in the handwriting of old Comrade Zhu - listen to your husband.

"……what."

"This is what the commander-in-chief meant." Liu Bowen said, "It was difficult for the young master to leave Yingtian, but the commander-in-chief made an exception this time."

It goes without saying that the reason for this permission must have something to do with him.

"I still have things to do in Yingtian, and you can leave tomorrow, my lord."

"Where to go?"

"Go to Hongdu!" Liu Bowen said, "Young Master, as long as you go to Hongdu, you can solve the siege of Hongdu, not only solve the siege of Hongdu, but also..."

He withdrew this sentence, and he didn't know why, maybe it was because the secret should not be leaked.

But he quickly said the last sentence: "And you can get an unexpected thing, with this thing added, the son's fan can also be made."

He compared both hands to a number six and moved it over his head, suggesting that it was two horns.

Dragon.

What he said was the black flood dragon.

--------

Ma Xiuying stood by the carriage, her eyes followed Zhu Biao around.

The things have already been prepared. Ma Xiuying is not a rich lady, nor is she a lady of everyone. She knows what to bring to the front line. The luggage she packs is neither too much nor too little, and all of them are durable and practical.

She put all these things into Zhu Biao's car. Last night, she had carefully told her son what to pay attention to. It stands to reason that there is nothing else to say or do, but how can you tell her to leave like this?

If possible, she would like to put herself in it.

"Biao'er, it's your first time to travel far away, and you're going to the battlefield again. You have to be careful and prudent, understand? Listen to Master's words and don't act on your own. Eat something good, don't be afraid of trouble, don't be brave... ..."

Zhang Zhongzheng was standing outside waiting, the master was referring to him.

He and Zhou Dian were also going to Hongdu together, which seemed to be something that Zhang Zhong, Zhou Dian, and Liu Bowen had discussed.

Zhu Biao grabbed Ju Fei by the back of the neck, forced it into the car, nodded and said, "Mother, don't worry. Look at my physique and ability, nothing will happen to me."

After walking such a long distance and going to the battlefield, it is inconvenient to take Liu Chubai with him, and it happens that the house also needs a demon guard, so Zhu Biao simply plans to take Ju Fei and let Gou Zi stay at the gate.

Although it has become a hundred million points fatter, it is still a cat. It can always fly over walls, and it can also perform illusions. It is not a disadvantage to carry it. Liu Chubai is too young, and it is not enough to take it out at the age of less than ten years old.

Because Ma Xiuying was here, Ju didn't dare to speak out and shout, so he could only struggle to express his refusal, making a shrill meowing sound, but his arm couldn't twist his thigh, so Zhu Biao stuffed it a few times, but he still stuffed it He got into the car, closed the door, and made a five with his hands.

Five copper coins?

Ju Fei was overjoyed, and immediately sat up straight, squatted on the seat in the car and licked his feet, as if it was another cat who was strongly resisting just now.

This kind of IQ is really worrying, and it doesn't even think about it. If Ma Xiuying didn't find out that it was a monster, why wouldn't she ask Zhu Biao insisted on taking a cat on a long journey?

Ma Xiuying glanced at the orange cat, and continued to worry: "After arriving in Hongdu, I will wait for your father and you to reconcile, and then write to mother, understand?"

"Okay." Zhu Biao nodded seriously.

Ma Xiuying sighed, bent down to straighten his collar, turned around quickly and left without looking back.

She was afraid that if she stayed a little longer, she would cry.

Liu Bowen also came at this time. After being informed, he went straight to the back door, with ink still stained on his sleeves. He probably put down his pen and hurried over while processing the paperwork.

He gave Zhu Biao a small cloth bag.

Zhu Biao opened it and looked inside. Inside was a fan that had already been made. His eyes widened in surprise: "Sir, this is..."

Liu Ji smiled and said, "This is your fan, take it well."

"It works?"

"It's already done." Liu Ji said, "What is still missing depends on Daoist Zhang to find a solution."

This means that he can't go because he has something to do. Zhang Zhong is a new member of the Dragon Slaying Squad.

Zhang Zhong squinted his eyes to look aside, and kept his hands behind his back without saying a word, but his heart was already starting to feel uncomfortable.

Although he was mentioned in the words, he always felt that Liu Bowen seemed to have robbed his apprentice.

"There must be several waterways along the way. There are no fewer evil spirits in the water than on the land, and the water is feminine. Most of them have weird personalities, cruel and tyrannical, and their spells are much more sinister. You need to pay attention to this."

"Yes."

"Although their spells are ruthless, it is difficult to improve their cultivation. If they encounter a water monster with high cultivation, there are only three possibilities."

Zhang Zhong's brows twitched, and he thought to himself that Liu Bowen is still popularizing science, and the more he talks, the more verbose he is, how can he have so many words to teach other apprentices.

"First, this kind of water demon does many evils, stealing other people's yang energy, and ruining its demon's future. The second is that if there is any adventure, it is due to the good fortune of heaven and earth. Third, it is kind by nature, and there are experts behind it to guide it."

Zhu Biao immediately thought of the three, no, four water monsters in Yanque Lake. According to their conditions, they obviously belonged to the third type.

Speaking of this, there is still no clue as to who His Highness is.

"Alright, alright."

Liu Ji wanted to say something more, but Zhang Zhong suddenly strode over, raised his hand to stop him, waved his other hand again, wrapped Zhu Biao in his arms, pushed him behind him, and then Then he said indifferently: "You don't need to worry about the poor apprentice, Bowen, you have a lot of things to do, you should go back and get busy."

Liu Ji was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, cupped his hands and said, "Then please ask the Taoist priest."

Zhang Zhong seemed to be chasing away some puppy, and said repeatedly: "Go, go, go."

Liu Ji was not angry either, they were old friends, he naturally knew what Zhang Zhong was thinking, and also understood his temperament, smiled at Zhu Biao, and walked away.

Zhou Dian came over slowly.He is no longer as dirty or messy as before. He is wearing linen clothes, but his hair is still untied, and he still looks crazy.

Looking at his appearance, although he is full of mottled hair, he is younger than Zhang Zhong.

He patted Zhang Zhong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Your apprentice has been robbed? I don't think you are doing very well as a master. After so many days, I haven't seen you teach anything."

A vein popped out of Zhang Zhong's head, he took a deep breath and exhaled again, ignored him, and said to Zhu Biao: "Apprentice, get in the car, let's go on our way."

Zhu Biao ignored the two old urchins at all, and was counting the money in the bag and keeping accounts seriously.

Today the world is torn apart, and all the powers are issuing their own currency, which is in a mess, and you can’t use it once you go far away. When it comes to hard currency, you still have to look at silver and gold.

"Master, Mr. Zhou, do you have anything you want to buy? You two have a look, is this money enough?"

Zhou Dian squeezed open the middle, and took the lead to peek into Zhu Biao's bag. His eyes were almost blinded by the white light, and he hurriedly withdrew. He nodded and said, "Enough is enough, as long as I have something to eat."

Zhang Zhong patted the wine gourd on his waist, then tugged at his blue sermon gown, and said, "I've already fasted the grain as a master, so it's fine if I don't eat. This dress is a magic weapon, so it won't get dirty. Poor It doesn’t cost any money.”

Zhu Biao was a little surprised: "Master, have you already fasted?"

"Yes."

He has eaten a lot in Yingtian City these days, and he loves it very much. He ate a lot of chicken, duck, fish, geese and river fresh mushrooms with the old Taoist Wang of the Zhenyao Department. , is quite heavy appetite.

Ju Fei poked his head out at this time, shaking his beard and asked: "Boss, are we still leaving? What have you been doing here, I'm motion sick—sick of that kind of non-moving carriage!"

What is a dizzy carriage.Zhu Biao ruthlessly stuffed it back again, checked the talismans pasted on the car body in advance, and then invited the two monks to get on the car.

In terms of combat effectiveness, mobility, and ability, thousands of soldiers are not as good as Zhang Zhong and Zhou Dian, and this time they are going out to Hongdu to save the situation. They require both concealment and speed, so they are fully prepared , Their group is only three people, one car, one cat and one horse.

Originally, three or four horses were enough, but Zhang Zhong said that he knew how to perform magical arts, and that too many horses were useless, so he changed to one.

The carriage is very large, with a length and width of more than two feet. The roof is very effective in preventing rain. When you go in, you can see that there are four seats. The rest of the space is filled with fixed cabinets and drawers, which are necessary daily necessities. wait.

After Zhang Zhong and Zhou Dian sat down, Zhu Biao also sat down. He was about to push Mana to drive, but suddenly stopped, got up and got out of the car.

After a while, when he came up again, he had a bag of sand in his hand.

Ju Fei asked curiously: "Boss, what are you doing? Is this what you humans often do—what is it called? The plot of thinking about your homeland? Drink it, no, it seems to be used for healing.”

It spoke in a mess, and Zhu Biao didn't refute it. He only waited for the carriage to move, and then said: "What are you thinking about, it's not like you won't come back."

"Here's your cat litter."

"...Oh, thank you boss."
