Zhu Dadian and Lu Jiude were not in dealing with each other either. After all, they are now eating in the same trough, and it is a matter of course not to deal with each other.

They had a very unhappy relationship because of Liu Bu. One more thing is that after Zhu Dadian entered Fengyang City, he made a series of actions as his master, which made Hong Chengchou even more unhappy.

There is no doubt that Zhu Dadian is the host here. There is nothing strange about doing these things in this capacity, nor is it violated the rules. However, it really made Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, very unhappy. The Ming Dynasty is no longer a peaceful and prosperous era. Now it is a chaos in the world, and everything is mainly military.

Even Fengyang has just recovered and is in trouble. Even in Fengyang, there are still a large number of bandits scattered everywhere, and many bandits, such as the Fifth Camp of the Gezuo, are scattered in every corner, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, which makes them dare not take it lightly.

When Zhu Dadian saw that he had successfully taken back Fengyang City, he couldn't wait to force Hong Chengchou to continue pursuing the remnants of the bandits and strive to completely destroy them. In fact, this was Hong Chengchou's idea.

But one thing is that Hong Chengchou hopes to bring the Liu family army together and get more elite troops and more food.

Zhu Dadian is also a cunning man. He just wants the other party to fight for him and work hard for him. But if he is asked to pay for money and ask him to pay for food, he will be unhappy and he will be unhappy.

Zhu Dadian repeatedly emphasized that Fengyang had just recovered, and the people of Fengyang did not have enough money and food to support the imperial army. However, he said that he would do his best to raise a batch of food to Hong Chengchou's military camp. The implication was that he hoped that the other party would get out.

Hong Chengchou finally had a great foothold like Fengyang. How could he leave easily? Moreover, the main force of the bandits has not been annihilated. If he fought a decisive battle with them in the wild, his army might not be able to gain much advantage.

Under this situation, he refused to go out to fight lightly on the grounds that his troops were not enough and his food and supplies were not in line.

Zhu Dadian, Lu Jiude, Liu Bu and others joined forces to conspire to drive Hong Chengchou and his army away in the short term. Only when these people leave the territory of Fengyang Prefecture can they have a good life. Otherwise, if these 100,000 troops are deployed here, the amount of food and grass is consumed alone will not be known as the amount of food and grass, which will greatly increase the pressure on the local area. The pressure on the local area is so great, how can they be ashamed to plunder money from the local area?

When Lu Jiude heard Hong Chengchou's explicit rejection and was unwilling to withdraw his troops in a short period of time, Lu Jiude was so upset. Lu Jiude said bluntly: "Master Hong was ordered to go and wipe out the bandits. Now the bandits are fleeing west, so you still chase them quickly? Do you have to wait for the enemy to escape and eat dust behind?"

Since Lu Jiude launched an attack, Zhu Dadian did not hesitate to assist. He said directly: "More importantly, the one who defeated Zhang Xianzhong's army and recovered Fengyang City is the army of General Liu Bu. General Hong's army can be said to have not shot a single arrow and no achievements have been made. In this case, you still won't chase after the bandits, and when will you wait?"

A eunuch spoke a little gentle and gave him face. Zhu Dadian, a civil servant, was to directly expose his scars.

The two of them were so harmonious that Hong Chengchou was very embarrassed and embarrassed, but the other party said nothing wrong. Now that Hong Chengchou has been the governor for several months, he has not shown any outstanding performance. He has been impeached by the ministers in the court for saying that he is as afraid of the enemy and as timid as a mouse.

Hong Chengchou knew that the verbal whistleblowers in the court had no ability except to attack others with one mouth.

Deploying a large army and commanding the army to eliminate bandits is a very systematic and professional thing. Only as a commander can he do such things. However, all the whine-talking people in the court have their own opinions and their own sets. They all demanded him, taught him how to fight and told him how to fight.

If you lose, you will definitely have nothing to do with these people. He is just an adviser and just a suggestion. If you win, they will give instructions and plan. Moreover, most of the strategies given by these people are not good. They are all talked about on paper. If Hong Chengchou does what they say, it would be strange if he is not cheated to death?

Hong Chengchou naturally had his own plan. When he went to Beijing to take over as the governor of the five provinces and offered advice to the emperor. When the monarch and ministers reported the right, he had already proposed his own strategy to the emperor, that is, to ask the emperor to give him a year, and he could definitely wipe out the bandits. Within this year, the emperor could not make any instructions or demands to him. If he could not wipe out him within one year, he would resign.

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy to see Hong Chengchou's confidence. At that time, he took the initiative to tell him that he would agree no matter what request he had.

In one or half a year, Emperor Chongzhen was still patient and willing to wait. When Hong Chengchou suppressed bandits in Shaanxi, he did a very good job, basically exterminating the bandits in Shaanxi.

But there is a saying that the plan cannot keep up with the changes, that is, when Hong Chengchou was in Xi'an, he had already prepared the plan. Who knew that the bandits rushed south at this time and captured Fengyang of Zhongdu, and were forced to change his plan. He could only lead his Qin army to go south with all his might, and recover Zhongdu first and then talk about it.

Hong Chengchou's army went south and discovered something, that is, there are as many as millions of bandits today, with dozens of miles of battalion, and there are many troops who can fight. If he does not make a complete plan and fight with them rashly, he will definitely be defeated and killed. Many famous generals of the court have already asked them to kill them, and several major towns in Fengyang Prefecture have basically fallen one by one, which gives him a plan that must be a plan before action.

But soon he was slapped in the face again. This time it was a real slapped in the face. He had more than 100,000 troops and stayed in Xuzhou and did not dare to go south. Liu Bu only had a few thousand troops, but he defeated Zhang Xianzhong's army under Anqing City and captured Zhang Xianzhong alive. He took the opportunity to recover Fengyang and drove the bandits away.

The so-called million-strong army of bandits is actually a million-strong native chickens and tiles. This is actually a very slap in Hong Chengchou's face. Although he made some excuses to defend himself, the attacks on him by Yanlu and the Censorate were wave after wave.

At least now, the name of being as timid as a mouse and fearing the enemy as a tiger is confirmed. Instead, they praised the young general Liu Bu for not learning and being skilled, and a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.

Why did the civil officials in the court praise Liu Bu for not being afraid of tigers when he was born? It was mainly to mock Hong Chengchou's 80-year-old mother who was nervous and feared the enemy as if she was as scared of wolves in front and tigers behind, but she missed the opportunity.

So now, whether it is Lu Jiude or Zhu Dadian, they are all taking this matter as an example. They ask Hong Chengchou to send troops quickly, and don’t hesitate here and don’t miss the opportunity.

The bandits are said to have millions of people, but they are all native chickens and treasurys. As soon as they go out to fight, the troops will be quelled.

Hong Chengchou is also an old martial arts world and an old fried dough stick. How could he eat this trick? Although the bandits are native chickens and dogs, they are still millions of people, and many ants bite the elephants to death.

Like this time, Liu Bu's army mainly fought with Zhang Xianzhong's elite soldiers. Because Zhang Xianzhong's elite soldiers had strong combat effectiveness and relatively small numbers, Liu Bu was so tentacles that he could not reach the point.

But if the target is your millions of people, Gao Yingxiang and others, and the other party uses the human sea tactics, it will use the human sea tactics to overwhelm you.

This makes both sides a little unhappy. Today's meeting was mainly because Hong Chengchou hoped to ask local governments to support more troops and food.

Zhu Dadian, the representative of the local area, hoped that they would leave quickly. At the end of the story, Zhu Dadian was furious. He said directly: "Mr. Hong, what's the use of wanting so much food? You were just armed and Fengyang was lost. You were indifferent. Fengyang was recaptured by General Liu Bu. You are still like this. Since you have no contribution to the recovery of Fengyang, you have so many soldiers and horses, why do you want so much food?"

After saying this, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but be angry. He said, "I am ordered by the saint to eliminate the bandits. I have my own strategy. As for what to do, can I still report to you Governor Zhu?"

Zhu Dadian said directly: "It doesn't matter. After all, you are the famous governor of five provinces, in charge of the army of five provinces, and to eliminate bandits. But one thing you must understand is that your main responsibility is to eliminate bandits, not to enjoy happiness in Fengyang. The enemy is outside Fengyang City, near Luzhou. Why don't you fight? If you become a high-ranking official in love, you are reluctant to be rich and dare not fight."

Hong Chengchou was criticized by the other party without any mercy, and his face could not be held back.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou could only use his power to suppress others. He said directly: "Why do I have to report to the two of you when I fight? Is it necessary to agree with you? I am commanded by the emperor to command the army of the five provinces to eliminate the bandits. I have my own strategy. I have also promised the emperor that if I fail to eliminate the bandits within a year, I will resign. So, I don't need to teach you how to fight. What you have to do is to follow the instructions made by the court and make every effort to prepare enough troops and food for me to support me, otherwise I will ask you the crime of delaying the military plane."

Lu Jiude smiled and said, "Mr. Hong's words are a bit over. You said we delayed the military plane. Who recovered Fengyang? Who destroyed Zhang Xianzhong's army? You have 100,000 soldiers. What did you do in Xuzhou for more than a month? How many enemies' heads have been cut down?"

Lu Jiude slapped the facts in the face, and Hong Chengchou was immediately speechless. If it was something illusory, he could make a quibble and he could deny it, but this was an ironclad fact. The most deceptive thing now is that his 100,000 army did not eliminate any bandits, but Liu Bu's thousands of soldiers have achieved the most brilliant results.
