Chapter 1020 : The envelope is not opened

Zhu Wenzheng's face turned aside when he heard this. Although he and Zhu Yuanzhang were uncles and nephews, Zhu Yuanzhang also treated him as his own son after Zhu Xinglong's death, but he was not a real son after all. Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo for a woman, Yang Guang killed Yang Jian for the throne. As the Grand Marshal of Hongdu, he held the power of military power. For power, status, and fame and fortune, it was not impossible to kill Zhu Yuanzhang. As Du Ziyi said, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger. Since ancient times, there have been few such things?

Now that the Duke is in the Poyang Lake, if the Han army retreats to Hongdu City and replenishes food, the soldiers will be able to rest and recuperate, and then use Hongdu to retreat to defend and attack, the situation of the Poyang Lake war will be reversed immediately. At that time, the day when the troops are approaching Jinling City, the day when the city is broken is the day when Zhu Yuanzhang loses his foundation. Once the news of his resignation to the King of Han spread, in an instant, the soldiers will inevitably be in chaos in the army, and it is absolutely impossible to defeat Poyang Lake. If such danger is left by his side, can he not worry? Can he not be suspicious? "

"Yes, I will definitely be suspicious. Zhu Wenzheng followed Zhu Yuanzhang for many years and was with him for many years. How could he not know that he was suspicious by nature? If the news of the Han envoy's letter spread, it would inevitably arouse Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion. Even if he would not pursue the battle of Poyang Lake at this time, he would not pursue it for the time being. Once the Poyang War is won in a complete victory in the future, this is his handle. Thinking of this, Zhu Wenzheng was really shocked and sweated. He stood up suddenly, his handsome face was white, and he said in a lost voice: "This, Ziyi is saying that I was careless, I was careless. What should Ziyi do now?"

Seeing that Zhu Wenzheng was so panicked that he asked him for a solution, Ziyi couldn't help but smiled slightly, and a hint of pride surged in her heart: "Have he finally regarded me as his own?"

Ziyi thought for a while and said, "Mr. Don't be anxious, have you seen this letter?"

Zhu Wenzheng was completely out of his mind at this moment, and his heart was all over Ziyi. Hearing her question, he hurriedly said, "I have never seen it. I have never thought of surrendering to the enemy, so I have never seen it..."

Ziyi's brows frowned slightly, her pink face became a little cold, and she suddenly said in a deep voice: "Can the envelope be there?"

Zhu Wenzheng said: "Here, he is! He is!" He stood up in a hurry, reached out and grabbed the letter from the coffee table, handed it to Ziyi, and asked impatiently: "Ziyi, what should I do now?"

Seeing that the envelope was intact and had not been taken apart, Du Ziyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patted her breasts, nodded and said, "I didn't take it apart, I didn't take it apart. Fortunately, is this matter saved?"

Zhu Wenzheng said: "Purple clothes..."

Du Ziyi said: "The Grand Marshal immediately sent someone to take this letter with the Han envoy and quickly rushed to the camp of Poyang Lake. When he saw the Duke, the Duke did not open the envelope. When he saw the Han envoy, he would definitely not suspect the Grand Marshal. Otherwise, this letter would be left here. Even if the Grand Marshal did not have the intention to surrender to the enemy and had no intention of rebelling, the lord would inevitably not suspect the Grand Marshal, which would be extremely unfavorable to the future of the General!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Should I do this?" Zhu Wenzheng didn't know what to do, and when he heard Du Ziyi's idea, he was immediately overjoyed.

Du Ziyi knew that the situation was serious and hurriedly said, "Master, it is important to send people quickly. Don't be used by anyone who is interested?"

Zhu Wenzheng nodded quickly and hurriedly asked someone to raise the Han envoy from the prison, and called his confidant and beloved general, and gave him some advice. After opening the city gate, he released the confidant and beloved general out of the city and immediately went to the camp in Poyang Lake.

In the camp in Kangshan, Zhu Yuanzhang was discussing tomorrow's decisive battle with the soldiers who greeted him! Outside the tent, the roaring tools, tens of thousands of soldiers, the cooking of fire and rice, the tents that set up tents, and the patrol patrols. Although it was night, everything was clearly seen so orderly, and it didn't look like the atmosphere of a decisive battle tomorrow.

In the past two days, the Han army was gone. Zhu Yuanzhang was not only using the night walkers organized by Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, but also went to the Han army camp to spread rumors. This was just a dangerous move to plant willows, but he had achieved unexpected results. In just two days, the Han army continued to surrender. This result made Zhu Yuanzhang very satisfied. He was discussing with the soldiers in the big tent, and suddenly heard from outside the door: "Report to the commander, someone outside the door asked for a meeting!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Come in!"

"My minister, Jiang Yan asks for a visit!" Jiang Yan turned over and dismounted from the horse outside the door, knelt outside the door, and bowed with his fists.

When he heard that it was Jiang Yan, Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised. Jiang Yan arranged it to be in Hongdu City. If something happened in Hongdu City, he would never come here rashly, so Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly welcomed him out.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Jiang Yan and asked lightly.

Jiang Yan hurriedly told the news that the Han envoy sent Chen Youliang to Hongdu City today to send Chen Youliang's handwritten letter. After listening to the letter, Zhu Yuanzhang silently, he could not help but hesitate. Although Zhu Wenzheng was his nephew, he raised him by himself. He knew what this nephew was doing to him. He really didn't want to believe that his nephew would betray him and would put himself in danger for the sake of the King of Jinling, but this matter had to be allowed to do so.

Worry him that once Zhu Wenzheng was moved and let the Han army retreat into Hongdu City, everything he did today was in vain. Hongdu City had sufficient food and grass and the city was solid. It would be absolutely impossible to destroy Chen Youliang in one fell swoop. Moreover, Chen Youliang had a hero for a lifetime, and had the foundation of Hongdu City. It was not impossible to advance and defend, and annex Anqing, Taiping, and quarrying, so as to purge Jinling City in one fell swoop...? That was a situation that would never be restored.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang was really hesitant and hurriedly called Liu Bowen, Chang Yuchun and Xu Da to explain the story of Chen Youliang's private plot against Zhu Wenzheng. When the three of them heard this, their faces changed drastically. The three of them were all experienced and battle-hardened. How could they not know the importance of Hongdu? If Zhu Wenzheng really surrendered to Chen Youliang and wanted to fight to the current situation, it would undoubtedly be a dream. But the three of them also knew that Zhu Wenzheng was Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, and his close relatives. Even if the three of them were a little worried, they would not dare to say anything, otherwise it would be the crime of alienating the close relatives!
