Zhu Zongyuan had never been very optimistic about Chen Youliang, and was forced to rely on his subordinates because of his power. At this time, everyone was as thoughtful as he did, and couldn't help but look at everyone and asked, "So, according to all brothers, what should we do now?"

Qian Feng narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said, "I heard that Zhang Shicheng from Sucheng is quite trustworthy and has the reputation of timely rain. Besides, his strength is not inferior to Chen Youliang. We lead the army to join him and assist him with him even if we have a good life, I believe that in a few years, we can make a career. What do you think?"

Zhang Yi frowned and said, "Not, not right! I heard that although Zhang Shicheng is a reputation as a timely rain, this person has repeatedly defected to the court and is in a capricious way, and he is willing to be close to others. He uses his confidants to follow this person, but he is afraid that it will be difficult to make a name for himself. Moreover, this person has less ambition than the King of Han, and he may one day be annexed by the King of Han. Wouldn't we...?"

Everyone felt a slump when they heard this, and they didn't know what to do for a moment. They usually followed Zhu Zongyuan's horse, and then turned their heads to look at him.

Zhu Zongyuan glanced at everyone's faces, a sly smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, and he hurriedly said, "If you trust me, I think there is someone worthy of our surrender?"

"Who..." everyone asked in unison.

Zhu Zongyuan said: "I was like all brothers, who defected to Zhang Shicheng. After hearing what the brothers said, I felt very worried. Although Zhang Shicheng was the overlord of one side, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, and he occupied a lot of land. He was also loyal to others. However, in recent years, he has been incompetent and greedy for pleasure and is not like a person who does great things. If he really defected to him, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not be annexed by the King of Han that day. Then, with the King of Han's cruel and ruthless methods, how can we have good results?"

Everyone was thinking about this. After listening to his analysis, everyone nodded. Zhang Yi and Qian Feng said in unison: "What the general said is very good. What should we do now? Let's listen to the general. The general is the idea. The general is right. I will never say anything and follow the general to the death!"

"Follow the general!" Everyone in the hall shouted together.

Zhu Zongyuan calmed down and said, "Brothers, I am very grateful to me for this. Since that's the case, I will just say it bluntly?"

Zhang Yi said: "It should be like this!"

Zhu Zongyuan said: "There are only people who plan to plan the world in Jiangnan now, Zhang Shicheng, Xu Zhenyi, Qi, Ming Yuzhen, Shu, Fang Guozhen, Jiangdong, but these are all kings behind closed doors and are not people who do great things. We will inevitably not be harmed by others in the future. Only Zhu Yuanzhang, who occupied Jinling, has great ambitions. He knew that this person was talented and stunning in the battle of Longwan. He was not comparable to Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, and Ming Yuzhen. We defected to him. With his blessing, we will change our courses and ensure peace in the future!"

Everyone said happily: "No, not bad, not bad, I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang has always been kind and righteous, and his talent and strategy are not inferior to the King of Han. Even the King of Han should be afraid of him. It would be best to join this person? The last general also heard that Zhang Zhixiong defected to this person on the Longwan battlefield, and now he is Zhu Yuanzhang's general?"

Zhang Zhixiong was originally Zhao Pusheng's general. Because he knew that the navy was sent by Chen Youliang to attack Yingtian, he was resentful of Chen Youliang's killing Zhao Pusheng on false charges. In the battle of Longwan, he personally led his subordinates to join Zhu Yuanzhang. Seeing that he was loyal and righteous, Zhu Yuanzhang became a general under Kang Maocai and dispatched the dragon ships seized in the battle of Longwan.

Everyone was moved by the words, and turned their heads to look at Zhu Zongyuan. Zhu Zongyuan relaxed his eyebrows and nodded heavily at everyone, saying, "Now Chen Youliang is not kind first. Since he is not kind, don't blame us for being unrighteous. Today's Anqing City, we will give a meeting ceremony to join Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"Okay! Since I made up my mind to join Zhu Yuanzhang, this Anqing city naturally cannot be left to Chen Youliang. Marshal Zhao was destroyed by the old Chen family. We are powerless to avenge him. This revenge will be left to Zhu Yuanzhang to help us avenge! Haha...haha...?"

At this moment, a soldier rushed in from outside the door and clasped his fists outside and said, "Report to all generals, Zhang Zhixiong is asking for a meeting outside the door!"

Everyone looked at each other and then laughed to the sky.

Zhu Zongyuan said: "Please hurry up!"

Zhang Zhixiong walked into Anqing City with a swagger. Although he surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang, he was also an old minister of Tianwan and Zhao Pusheng's subordinate. Therefore, no one stopped him from entering Anqing City. However, his identity made Zhu Zongyuan and others dare not meet in the main hall openly, and he was led to the Yangxin Hall.

Yangxin Hall is located in a garden in Anqing City, which is considered a side hall. Zhang Zhixiong has followed Zhao Pusheng here for two years, so he is very familiar with every path here. He bypassed two rockery, passed through a long corridor, and walked across the overpass. He arrived at the main hall of Yangxin Hall, red bricks, green tiles, screen walls, calligraphy and paintings, mahogany eye poles, bronze lamp posts, and copper crane incense burning tripods. Everything made Zhang Zhixiong feel familiar.

After a while, with a sound of footsteps, Zhang Zhixiong turned around leisurely and saw Zhu Zongyuan coming over. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Is that Zhang Zhixiong seen the elders?"

Zhu Zongyuan waved his hand lightly and said, "It's all his own brothers, brother Zhang, don't be too polite." Then he sat down at the main seat of Yangxin Hall, standing beside him, Zhang Yi, Qian Feng and others, among them, for a long time."

"I don't know if Brother Zhang came to ask for my meeting this time, but what's important? "After sitting down, Zhu Zongyuan glanced at Zhang Zhixiong and said lightly. The brothers beside him had already made up their minds to join Zhu Yuanzhang, but after all, what he knew was limited. Zhang Zhixiong was their brother in the past. When he saw him, he wanted to hear what he said.

Zhang Zhixiong, who had just sat down, hurriedly stood up and saluted: "General, the King of Han was indecent, killed General Zhao Pu and Emperor Xu, and did something that both humans and gods were angry. Then the brothers defected to Duke Wu... Duke Wu was so talented and powerful, and he was very heroic. Is it a great kindness and righteousness... It is not comparable to the King of Han... Brothers thought about it, but they were really worried about the future of the brothers, so they were specially ordered by Duke...?
