Zhang Ximeng looked in the direction of the Commander's Mansion, his heart surging... From the very beginning, he used Han Gaozu to inspire Lao Zhu, and then analyzed Guo Zixing's shortcomings. When the Yuan army pressed on, Guo Zixing restrained him in every possible way, and did not give Zhu Zhong any chance.
Eight spaces to display.
In desperation, Lao Zhu communicated with Peng Da in private. Today, he and other commanders are putting pressure on Guo Zixing.
Along the way, I analyzed everything... But according to common sense, after the victory over the Yuan army, Guo Zixing continued to suppress Zhu Chongba, unable to tolerate his adopted son-in-law, and finally Zhu Chongba had to leave.
This is indeed the case historically.
But with the addition of Zhang Ximeng, things progressed much faster. Lao Zhu had been able to grasp the general trend, and naturally he couldn't wait to show off his talents. As long as the Yuan army outside the city was defeated and the encirclement disappeared, he would leave the city immediately, and there would be a vast area outside.
Heaven and earth can develop and grow at will.
It's not that we want to get rid of Guo Zixing immediately, but at least the soldiers, horses, and spoils of war are all deserved. We can't go to waste and get nothing.
Although it seems rushed, after a little thought, it still makes sense.
Zhang Ximeng took a deep breath and it was time to take action...
"Get up quickly!"
Zhang Ximeng patted Mu Ying gently to wake the little guy up from his sleep. Mu Ying rubbed her eyes, and when she saw it was Zhang Ximeng, she asked, "Is the meal ready?"
Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but roll his eyes, he was a bastard.
"Stop talking nonsense, follow me out of the city, eat delicious food, drink spicy food, and never be hungry again."
Seeing Zhang Ximeng's eyes widening, Mu Ying immediately hurriedly put on her clothes.
At this moment, the door opened and Ma came in. She sat on the bedside with a worried look on her face.
"Little sir, do we really want to leave Haozhou immediately? Chongba's disobedience to the commander-in-chief this time will indeed have serious consequences, but it won't be a big deal. I'll go and beg my godmother and give her a nice word, maybe I can get through it.
There is no need to rush out of the city. It would be bad if we left and angered the commander-in-chief and made us angry."
Mrs. Ma was very worried. She had been in Haozhou for such a long time and had a family and relatives. It would not be easy for her to give up all of a sudden.
What's more, Guo Zixing is already suspicious and suppressive. Who knows what he will do when he hears that Zhu Chongba is out of the city? There is also chaos outside the city, can he really drive away the Yuan army?
I'm really not sure.
Zhang Ximeng had no choice but to tell Ma Shishi: "Madam, a few days ago, Tang Qianhu captured a Yuan army."
"Is this happening?"
"Well!" Zhang Ximeng said: "According to the Yuan army's confession, Jia Lu was seriously ill and had difficulty handling military affairs. The Yuan soldiers outside the city were distracted and in chaos."
Ma was startled and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's difficult in the city, but I didn't expect that the Yuan army outside the city would be like this too... Young sir, this news can't be false, right?"
Zhang Ximeng shook his head, "After getting the news, my benefactor asked Fei Ju to secretly leave the city, pretend to be a civilian, and sneak into the Yuan army camp. He has just come back. Madam can ask him."
Ma was surprised. She had some impression of Fei Ju. It was this guy who took the lead in defecting to Chongba that day. He was a man of good martial arts, bold and careful, and he was capable of accomplishing great things.
Since it was arranged by Chongba, what else is there to say.
Ma said solemnly: "So Yuan Tatar is in a difficult situation. It is a good thing to be able to relieve the siege."
Zhang Ximeng didn't see it that way, "Madam, from what I've seen these days, all the great marshals in the city can share adversity, but not wealth and wealth. When the Yuan soldiers retreat, the marshals will definitely be in trouble, and the benefactor has made great contributions in defending the city.
, is quite popular among the people, and will inevitably arouse the fear of the commander-in-chief. If he stays in Haozhou, he will inevitably be involved in the disputes between several commanders, which will be a waste of energy, not to mention..."
Zhang Ximeng lowered his voice and said, "Madam, there are hundreds of thousands of people outside the city now. If our benefactor wants to accomplish great things, he must have manpower. It is imperative to recruit traitors and surrender. This opportunity must not be missed. Madam, stay in the city.
This gives the commander an excuse to kidnap our benefactor. It is better to leave the city as soon as possible and let the benefactor gather his troops. If these hundreds of thousands of people are taken away by others, then the benefactor will suffer a big loss."
"What's more, from my point of view, the commander-in-chief is a hard-edged man who doesn't take soft things. Once his benefactor has enough troops, the commander-in-chief doesn't dare to do anything to him." Zhang Ximeng added, "I believe it.
But I don’t trust the commander-in-chief, especially the young commander-in-chief!”
Ma couldn't help but feel frightened. Guo Tianxu became more and more suspicious of her husband. It was hard to say what this guy had done!
Judging from this meaning, it is indeed necessary to arrange a way out.
"Little sir, what are you going to do?"
"It's easy. My wife and I are among the civilians. If our benefactor succeeds in defeating the Yuan soldiers, we will definitely need manpower to carry and capture them. We will leave the city. There is a town called Linhuai to the west of Haozhou, where we can temporarily settle down." Zhang Ximeng advised:
"Madam, although the town is small, it is your own place, so don't worry!"
Mr. Ma lowered his neck, thought again and again, and then said: "Then, how many people can follow Chongba?"
This is the key. If no one wants to follow it, it's over.
Zhang Ximeng smiled slightly and said, "Madam, there are still six to seven hundred soldiers under Tang Qianhu's command, there are still hundreds of defenders in Xicheng, and there are also hundreds of young and strong civilians I gathered a few days ago. If I can capture more prisoners
Reorganizing some Yuan troops will be enough to make a difference."
Listening to Zhang Ximeng's calculation, it can be said that it is very thorough.
Madam Ma also nodded slightly. To be honest, she was more looking forward to leaving the city than Zhu Chongba. When she thought of Guo Tianxu's sordid appearance, she wanted to slap him. Madam Ma gritted her teeth and said, "Just marry him."
If a chicken marries a dog and follows the dog, that's all."
The decision was made, and soon Zhang Ximeng, Ma Shi, and the little guy Mu Ying came out of the yard and left quietly. They didn't bring anything with them, and even the oil lamp in the room was still on.
Not long after Zhang Ximeng and the others left, Zhang Tianyou quietly appeared outside the small courtyard with a dozen of his followers. He first poked his head and found the light, and his heart suddenly calmed down.
The subordinate ran for the door recklessly, but Zhang Tianyou immediately caught him and asked: "What are you doing?"
"I'd like to see you young lady!" Xiao Bing said with a smile, "It's such a cold day, why don't you go in and warm yourself up."
"Idiot! I'll give you another pot of soju!" Zhang Tianyou spat angrily: "Zhu Chongba hasn't left the city yet! When he leaves, let's invite the young lady into the handsome man's house and accompany the handsome wife.
Do you understand?"
What kind of companionship? It’s obviously house arrest!
The soldiers could only agree repeatedly, "I understand, I understand!"
Zhang Tianyou made people look at him before and after, and then he sat down next to the courtyard door with a proud sneer on his face.
Zhu Chongba, Zhu Chongba, eat everything inside and out!
You dare to collude with Peng Da and others to force the palace, you simply don't take the commander seriously.
I shouldn’t have married the beautiful Miss Ma to you in the first place!
Even if you marry a dog or an eagle, it is much better than marrying a white-eyed wolf!
But there's no need to be complacent. Aren't you going to leave the city? Aren't you saying that fighter planes are rare?
Okay, let you go fight Yuan Bing. Regardless of victory or defeat, your mother-in-law is in our hands, so you can only be obedient! Don't worry, Zhu Chongba, you can't escape from our hands.
It has to be said that some people are naturally good at playing tricks on others.
Zhang Tianyou sat down in the corner. Thinking of Zhu Chongba's misfortune, he almost laughed out loud. He quickly covered his mouth and waited happily.
At this moment, Zhu Chongba was frowning slightly, recalling the scene when he faced Guo Zixing an hour ago... He and Peng Da and others asked for a battle, asked to leave the city, and overturned the Yuan army camp.
He, Zhu Chongba, openly disobeyed the commander-in-chief!
At that moment, Guo Zixing looked as if he had eaten two pounds of flies.
He looked at Zhu Chongba with eyes full of anger, disappointment, and blame... He couldn't accept that the person he was supporting was actually standing with an outsider.
Will I marry my goddaughter to you in exchange for your betrayal?
If it weren't for Peng Da, Zhao Junyong and others, Guo Zixing would really have killed Zhu Chongba.
After a while, Guo Zixing suppressed his anger and said, "Leave the city? Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Zhu Chongba's heart moved, and he knelt down on one knee, "Report to the commander, the Yuan soldiers have not attacked the city for more than a month, the soldiers are slack, and there are flaws everywhere. Moreover, Jia Lu has been seriously ill, and the three armies have no commander. At this time, the Yuan soldiers are at their lowest
We are weak, there is no food in the city, and spring plowing is around the corner. If we cannot defeat the Yuan soldiers as soon as possible, the people of Haozhou will not be able to make a living, and we don’t know how many people will starve to death!"
Zhu Chongba thought about it more than ordinary people. He also thought about spring plowing and his father and fellow villagers.
After he expressed his stance, Peng Da and others immediately spoke up, and they all agreed with Zhu Chongba. In the entire Haozhou, only Guo Zixing was left alone.
And the culprit of everything is his adopted son-in-law Zhu Chongba!
"Okay, very good! Zhu Chongba, ask yourself, how do I treat you?"
Zhu Chongba was silent for a long time, with a layer of sweat on his forehead. Guo Zixing was not only a commander-in-chief, a father-in-law, but also a benefactor. Before meeting Guo Zixing, Zhu Chongba was a precarious monk. He followed Guo Zixing for less than a year.
He was turned upside down.
Logically speaking, he should sacrifice his life for Guo Zixing, and even if he is asked to die, he should not hesitate.
But in such a world, Guo Zixing's heart and magnanimity are not enough to achieve anything, so he just missed the opportunity?
What's more, it was not Zhu Chongba who was involved in the war... so many fathers and fellow villagers risked their lives. After the elder brother died, the younger brother joined the army. Didn't everyone just drive away the Yuan soldiers and protect their homeland!
The opportunity is right in front of you, how can you miss it?
"Replying to the Commander-in-Chief, I am treating my humble position as high as heaven and earth. It is just for the safety of Haozhou. At this moment, we should attack decisively. We cannot be afraid of the enemy and refuse to fight!"
Zhu Chongba spoke his mind.
At this moment, Zhao Junyong actually took a step forward, "Shuai Guo, Zhu Chongba is right, the overall situation is the most important thing!"
Sun Deya also said: "Even if Guo Shuai is unwilling to fight, then let us come and relieve the siege. It will also be a good thing for Guo Shuai."
Everyone pointed their finger at Guo Zixing, and Marshal Guo could no longer stop him.
"Okay, I'm waiting for your success!"
After this person finished speaking, he was so angry that he walked away. When he got to the back, he sat down on the chair, his facial features distorted. The anger of betrayal, the loneliness of the situation being out of control, rubbed him, making his anger beyond words.
At this time, Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou changed their expressions. When they arrived in front of Guo Zixing, Zhang Tianyou gritted his teeth and said: "Commander Father, this white-eyed wolf Zhu Chongba has betrayed Commander Father, I think we should take him directly!"
Guo Zixing snorted angrily: "It's easy to say. He is with Peng Da's gang, how can he get it?"
"Then take the Ma family!" Guo Tianxu gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't Zhu Chongba respect his wife as a guest? If we catch the Ma family, we won't have to worry about Zhu Chongba being disobedient!"
Guo Zixing was shocked. Ma was the daughter of his sworn brother. How could he catch her?
"You bastard!"
Zhang Tianyou, who was standing next to him, hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, I think my nephew's idea is right. There is nothing wrong with the new daughter-in-law returning to her parents' home. He Zhu Chongba is still loyal, so he will naturally listen to orders. But he doesn't know how to repent. Let's
There is no need to waste a good girl in vain."
Guo Tianxu nodded vigorously, his uncle was so right.
The two men kept persuading, Guo Zixing thought for a long time, and his anger was hard to contain... Then let's do it!
…
Zhu Chongba didn't know Guo Zixing's actions yet, but he was still looking forward to it in his heart.
Waiting for Guo Zixing to appear in front of everyone in his armor and weapons, then take the lead in fighting out...
Zhu Chongba swore to God that if this scene really happened, he would still be willing to be loyal to Guo Zixing and serve as his father-in-law's pawn honestly.
Zhu Chongba waited until the fourth update, but there was no movement from Guo Zixing. After all, he paid by mistake!
It seems that Guo Zixing already hates him and must take refuge out of the city as soon as possible according to the method discussed with Zhang Ximeng.
At this moment, Peng Da and others had already mobilized soldiers and horses.
Peng Da and Peng Zaozhu, father and son, commanded 7,000 men and horses, fully armed. Zhao Junyong also gathered 5,000 men and put all his family property on board.
Sun Deya had more than 12,000 troops, all of whom were soldiers from Haozhou.
The remaining three generals also led their troops and prepared for battle.
Zhu Chongba didn't have many soldiers. He only had one thousand households in Tanghe and some defenders. The total number was less than 3,000, so he was considered the weakest.
But Peng Da respected Zhu Chongba so much that he even let him be the head coach.
"Master Zhu, you are very resourceful, just give orders!"
Zhu Chongba took a deep breath, "No matter how large the Yuan army is, as long as it breaks through a single point, the entire army will be annihilated... We are willing to serve as the vanguard. Peng Shuai, Zhao Shuai, and Sun Shuai, you will follow closely behind to form an overwhelming force. We must break through."
Yuan army camp. Before this, no one is allowed to covet the spoils of war, mess up the situation, and affect the overall situation!"
Peng Da looked at several other people, and everyone nodded together.
"Don't worry, we understand!"
Zhu Chongba didn't have anything to say. He just counted his subordinates, armors, and weapons, meticulously... But he was still worried in his heart, wondering if his wife's side was going well?
At this moment, a man suddenly led a horse in front of Zhu Chongba.
"Please mount your horse!"
Zhu Chongba frowned. This voice was too familiar to him. He turned around hurriedly and happened to see his wife, Mrs. Ma... Lao Zhu suddenly put his heart in his stomach and showed a relieved smile on his face. He could finally go out with confidence.
