Chapter 1145 : Trying to figure out the holy will
"I, Liao Yongzhong has seen His Highness the King of Wu. May His Highness the King of Wu be a thousand years old?" Liao Yongzhong turned his head and bowed, not even enough to take a closer look.
"Haha, general, you don't have to be polite. You are all your family, you don't have to be polite, get up and talk?" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was calm and he spoke calmly, which made Liao Yongzhong's nervousness when he just came in completely disappeared without a trace.
He clasped his fists and replied: "Yes!" Liao Yongzhong walked into the back hall openly.
In the back hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was dressed in casual clothes, but the dragon and tiger aura he had developed over the years was revealed at all times.
Seeing that Liao Yongzhong was still standing respectfully, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "General Liao sat down and talk?"
"Yes!" Liao Yongzhong sat down with his fists.
Through continuous practice, Zhu Yuanzhang can now gracefully lift the teapot and elegantly inject the teapot into the cup without overflowing. The two cups of tea were filled with it soon after. He gently pushed forward and pushed to Liao Yongzhong and said, "At that time, General Liao brought the general to surrender, I saw that the two generals and brothers were extraordinary people. Now several years have passed, and the general has made great achievements in war? Not to mention that a few days ago, in the battle of Poyang Lake, the enemy general Zhang Dingbian directly attacked my dragon boat. General Quan Nai took a flying boat and chased and shot more than a hundred arrows in Dingbian. He carried reeds with Yu Tonghai and others with seven boats, set fire to the wind, and burned hundreds of enemy tower ships. He fought in deep battles with six boats, and then swirled out again. The enemy was shocked. I am afraid that no one can compare with this military achievements in Wu."
Liao Yongzhong was both surprised and happy when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang praise him like this. What was surprised was that Zhu Yuanzhang praised him like this, and what was happy was that his military achievements were finally recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Unlike Xu Da, Tang He and others, Liao Yongzhong followed Liao Yong'an to welcome Zhu Yuanzhang in Chaohu. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already occupied Jinling and had decided to develop into Jiangnan. However, he had suffered from the lack of ships. He could use the two brothers more because of the 20,000 naval army in Chaohu. In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang trusted Liao Yongzhong and others not as much as Xu Da, Tang He, nor as Chang Yuchun, Hu Dahai and others later. Liao Yongzhong knew this very well, so over the years, he fought everywhere to make more contributions and make Zhu Yuanzhang admire his Liao brothers.
How could he not be happy when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang praise this? However, he was a man who had been through the battlefield for a long time. After a surprised look at Zhu Yuanzhang, he pretended to be humble: "Your Highness of the King of Wu is too much, Yongzhong only knows some water skills. Is it far different from General Xu, General Chang, and General Deng?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Each person has his own strengths, General Xu is good at planning, General Chang is good at courage, and both of them have their own strengths, but this is only on the road. The victory of the Poyang Lake Battle in the previous period was entirely due to the general and Yu Tonghai's group of Chaohu naval troops fighting hard. This king defeated Chen Youliang by chance!"
Although Liao Yongzhong knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was a fact, he didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to do for a while. After thinking for a while, he said boldly: "When Yongzhong followed the King of Wu, he was loyal to his duties and went up the sword mountain and down the oil pan for King of Wu Yongzhong. However, Yongzhong was stupid. If there was any point in understanding, please give more advice to the King of Wu?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed inwardly that Liao Yongzhong was smart and nodded, saying, "I do have an important thing right now. I would like to ask General Liao for help?"
Liao Yongzhong was happy and said to himself: "It's true that something is wrong?" He said calmly on his face and nodded, "The King of Wu is so serious!"
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, "I disregarded Mr. Liu's words and sent troops to rescue Anfeng's siege and the chaotic army to rescue Xiao Ming King. At that time, Jinling was in danger. I followed General Xu's expedient measures and placed Xiao Ming King in Chuzhou. Now that the safety of heaven is eliminated, I thought about it day and night that I should welcome Xiao Ming King to respond to the heaven. I have been busy with the battle and have no time to care about it, so I forgot about this big event?"
Liao Yongzhong's eyes turned, glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said calmly: "I am willing to work hard for the King of Wu. I will go to Chuzhou in person to welcome the King of Xiao Ming back!"
Zhu Yuanzhang drank tea expressionlessly, and said in a faint tone: "Welcome to the King of Xiao Ming, this matter is very important. If something goes wrong, Jinling will be in chaos. Therefore, I have been hesitating and thinking about it, and then I thought of the general. The general followed me to fight south and north in his early years, and made many contributions. He specially summoned the general back. If there is a general to do his business, I am very relieved!"
Liao Yongzhong did not understand Zhu Yuanzhang's intention for a moment. He had not been in contact with Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time and was not good at scrutinizing Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts. However, he could still hear what the King of Wu said today. Zhu Yuanzhang seemed a little dissatisfied and tried to say: "Don't worry, Chuzhou is not far from Yingtian, and he walked along the way. He also brought troops for many years in the strong winds and waves. He never missed it. What's the difficulty of picking up the King of Ming? Besides, the territory of our Great Wu along the way is not blocked by the enemy. Please rest assured King of Wu!"
The muscles on Zhu Yuanzhang's face hopped, his face was frighteningly cold. Seeing Liao Yongzhong's heart moved, and a faint feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart. He wanted to ask something, but he didn't dare to ask.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "The wind and waves of the Yangtze River are not comparable to Chaohu and Poyang Lake. Now it is the middle of winter. If something happens, Xiao Ming King has an accident. The world scolds me. Now that Liu Futong is defeated and died, the world's eyes are even more focused on me. Please be careful with the general?"
As soon as these words were said, Liao Yongzhong felt a little strange. Chuzhou was not far from Yingtian, and there was the territory of the King of Wu all the way. How could he be cautious when picking up a little Ming King?
After some thought, Liao Yongzhong's mind flashed, and suddenly remembered that on the eve of the siege of Anfeng in Yingtian, the military advisor Liu Bowen advised Zhu Yuanzhang not to save the King of Xiaoming. Zhu Yuanzhang refused to listen at that time and insisted on leading the army to lift the siege of Anfeng. Liu Fu worked hard to defend Anfeng and was killed. Han Liner broke through the siege and went to Chuzhou. When Zhu Yuanzhang's reinforcements arrived, he was able to save his life. Not long after, Zhu Yuanzhang built a large-scale construction in Chuzhou and placed Han Liner under house arrest in a luxurious palace. Although he was away all year round, he had heard of these things. At this time, he was shocked when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's tone.

Liao Yongan: At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Liao Yongan and his younger brothers Liao Yongzhong and Yu Tonghai formed camps to protect themselves. After Zhu Yuanzhang raised his troops, he led the Zhou army to surrender. He attacked the Yuan Zhongcheng barbarian Hague at Machanghe, defeated the Yuan soldiers, and later went to Niuzhu, broke Caishi, and conquered Taiping (Dangtu, Anhui), and was appointed as the general manager of the army. Later, he broke the Hague water grid, captured Chen Zhaoxian, and joined Zhu Yuanzhang's army to attack Jiqing (now Nanjing, Jiangnan). He was promoted to the marshal of Jiankang Yi Army for his merits. He led the navy to capture Zhenjiang, Changzhou, and captured Chizhou with Changyuchun, and captured Jiangyin with Yu Tonghai, and persuaded Zhang Shicheng to surrender Luan Rui, and promoted to the head of the Privy Council. Later, he defeated Zhang Shicheng's troops at Fushan Port in Changshu, and then seized Langshan in Tongzhou. Liao Yongan took advantage of the victory to go deeper, but was defeated by Zhang Shicheng's general Lu Zhen in Taihu Lake. After being captured, he insisted on not surrendering and was imprisoned for eight years and died in prison.
