When Huang Wushan received the rescue mission previously, he still had contempt for it.
However, when he learned that Huang Degong and others killed Liu Fangliang's tens of thousands of troops and fled in embarrassment with only six or seven thousand men, he had already seen Zhu Yuanzhang's intention, and he had been secretly vigilant in his heart.
So even though Zhu Yuanzhang only glanced at him at this moment, he was still sensitively aware of it.
He immediately thought that although Zuo Xianmei was in a better situation than Tian Xiong and others, her disobedience was well known to everyone.
Therefore, although he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's words were meant to test, he was afraid that he would cut off his way out, so he immediately said with a respectful face: "Your Majesty has a broad mind, and you will never be able to catch up..."
Following Huang Wushan's praise, some generals echoed his words.
Zhu Yuanzhang also showed his composure, while Huang Degong was the only one who looked unhappy.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he pretended to be displeased and said, "Uncle Jingnan, do you have any objections?"
When Huang Degong asked, he immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that Tian Xiong and Ma Degong rebelled without reason, causing us to lose our city and land. This is an unforgivable crime..."
Huang Wushan's face changed slightly when he heard Huang Degong's words.
He winked at a man who looked like a scribe next to him, and the latter immediately stepped forward knowingly and said, "Uncle Jingnan, what you said is wrong!"
"You must know that today the world is in panic and the people have no masters. Your Majesty is trying to do what Yao and Shun did, educate the people with benevolence and righteousness, and make them feel at ease. However, you are hindering His Majesty's grand plan for your own benefit..."
Huang Degong didn't like to talk about the literati. Now he saw that the other party was talking loudly. Although he was full of benevolence and righteousness, it had nothing to do with the current war situation. He immediately said dissatisfiedly: "In marching and fighting, what matters is the execution of orders and prohibitions. If you disobey orders and don't punish them, why... ...."
"Uncle Jingnan, you are wrong again!"
"The purpose of the sages' efforts was to teach unfilial piety, not to kill people. Now you are punishing them without teaching them, which is actually against the way of the saints. You must know..."
Although Huang Degong fought bravely, he was a rough man and could not argue with the scribe.
In the past, he might have scolded his mother and asked his ancestors to save some face.
But now that His Majesty is here, although he is reckless, he does not dare to be presumptuous. He can only stare at the other party with wide eyes to express his dissatisfaction.
Jiang Yingkui on the side saw this and stepped forward angrily: "Sir, you don't know something. Uncle Jingnan did not teach without teaching...he taught and punished!"
"Earlier, when Tian Xiong and Ma Degong disobeyed Uncle Weiwu (Li Ruolian)'s military orders in Yu County, Uncle Jingnan had already reprimanded them. After they admitted their mistakes, they ignored the blame and treated them very well!"
"This time I have high hopes for them, and will..."
"General Jiang, this is not a fault of benevolence, but a lack of virtue!"
The scribe smiled and interrupted Jiang Yingkui's words, pretending to be respectful and said: "Wang is not just lying, there are sages who have proven it. I think back then, Meng Huo was instigated by Soochow and rebelled for no reason. Zhuge Wu captured and manipulated him seven times. Meng Huo felt His benevolence will never betray him again throughout his life."
"It can be seen from this that there is no one in the world who cannot be taught, but it is actually because of insufficient virtue. If Uncle Jingnan can go one step further..."
Jiang Yingkui was not much stronger than Huang Degong. He spoke out of indignation, but he was no match for the opponent, and he was soon defeated.
He and Huang Degong looked at each other. Although they were both dissatisfied, they were unable to do anything.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting high up, nodding slightly, he stopped speaking, with a look of reluctance.
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he nodded and said, "Wang Shenjun is really talented. Listening to your words is worth ten years of studying!"
When the scribe heard this, he didn't even dare to say it, but he couldn't hide the look on his face.
On the contrary, Huang Wushan looked solemn and felt vaguely uneasy.
Because before he came, Zuo Xianmei had repeatedly warned Chongzhen that Chongzhen had extraordinary intelligence and unpredictable temperament and could not be judged by common sense, so he must not argue with him and just follow orders.
So even though Zhu Yuanzhang's previous rescue order was quite unreasonable, he still rushed there non-stop.
Just because now he feels that whether he forgives Tian Xiong and others will also affect
After hearing the news, Zuo Xianmei did a little testing.
Jiang Yingkui, who never expected that Zhu Yuanzhang did not help his confidant, instead praised his adviser and revealed the other person's identity, which made him feel uneasy.
You must know that among the official positions in the Ming Dynasty, there was no one to join the army. Zuo Xianmei called it for convenience. Unexpectedly, the other party also knew about it.
Just when he was doubting, he suddenly heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice saying: "Wang Canjun, we see that you are outstanding in learning, and we want you to go on a mission to persuade Tian Xiong and Ma Degong to surrender!"
"I think with your talents, you will succeed immediately, and we will reward you generously when the time comes!"
The scribe was about to retreat. When he heard this, his body couldn't help but tremble, and then he looked at Huang Wushan with a pleading look on his face.
Huang Degong and others, who were annoyed just now, all showed joking expressions when they heard this.
Seeing that the scribe didn't respond, Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be confused and said: "Wang Junjun, are you in trouble?"
The scribe is a talker, and he doesn't even dare to watch a chicken being killed, so how can he have the courage to persuade him?
However, he also learned from the play that the emperor was a man of golden words. If he dared to resist the decree, he would be quartered immediately.
Thinking of this, he became even more frightened and said tremblingly: "Grass... grass... grass people... no..."
"Okay, we know that Zuo Xianmei has no weak soldiers. You must be a righteous person who joins the army, and you will definitely not be afraid!"
Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be satisfied and slapped the coffee table, stood up and said: "But you don't need to worry, we will lead the army to accompany you!"
"If Tian Xiong and others dare to be disrespectful to Sir, we will kill them without leaving a trace, as a warning to the disloyal people in the world!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone with a disdainful look.
When the scribe heard this, his hands and feet immediately felt weak. Fortunately, Huang Wushan stepped forward to support him, so he did not fall to the ground.
When Huang Degong and Jiang Yingkui heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to fight in person, they hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.
But Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree and just asked Huang Wushan to organize the army.
Although Huang Wushan was suspicious, he couldn't figure it out for the moment.
In addition, the military order had been issued, so he had no choice but to obey it.
About an hour later, Zhu Yuanzhang came to the military camp at Huangwu Mountain with forty or fifty personal guards.
He made an inspection tour first and saw that all the soldiers were very happy to fight. After making a promise, he led his army and set off.
It's just Zhu Yuanzhang's random move that made Liu Fangliang and others busy.
They were ready to steal the camp, but suddenly received news that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to Longwangzhuang to conquer Tian Xiong and others.
In fact, this matter is more beneficial to them, because their previous plan was to sneak attack Bazhou, and the troops and horses have already set out, if they rush to Longwangzhuang, it will be too hasty.
Fortunately, the troops who set off did not go far, and Gu Kecheng's troops had just arrived. After some discussion, they hurriedly transferred the troops back.
When they finished all this and arrived near Longwangzhuang, there was already a sound of killing.
Liu Fangliang and others climbed up and looked around for a while, and found that there were mostly soldiers in the flickering fire, and spies also came to report that they had indeed seen Zhu Yuanzhang's figure.
They were overjoyed when they heard the news and hurriedly led their troops to kill him.
