Chapter 7 Attending the meeting This is also an unavoidable choice, at least it will not have a great impact on the Caobang's foundation north of the Yellow River, and at the same time, it will not let the originally good relationship between the Caobang and the Huai'an Army suddenly become incompatible.
However, cracks will definitely appear and will be difficult to mend in a short period of time.
However, in the face of the common interests of both parties, these minor cracks will not have much impact.
At best, it will bring shame on the faces of the former Cao Gang disciples who already hold prominent positions in the Huai'an Navy.
So, after repeated consideration, the Caobang sent a special person to take a fast boat to bring the letter written by Li Hanqing on Tuotuo's behalf, as well as some recent secret information about Beiyuan, as well as his own speculations about Tuotuo's bad intentions.
They were sent together to the residence of the Grand Manager of Huaiyang.
He also repeatedly reminded Zhu Chongjiu to beware of deception.
When we meet, let's have a good time together Sure enough, as the third leader Chang Sanshi expected, after the letter arrived at the Huaiyang General Manager's Mansion, Zhu Chongjiu almost didn't think about it and agreed with a smile, "Go back and tell the three gang leaders.
I, Zhu Bayi, thank them for reminding them." .
And Tuotuo has an appointment with me.
If I don't go, wouldn't it disappoint him greatly?
So I have to trouble you Caobang to bring a message to Tuotuo for me.
Just say that in ten days, I will be on the Yellow River outside Xuzhou City.
Wait for him" "No."
Before he could finish his sentence, the old master Lu Zeng jumped up and said, "The so-called son of a rich man cannot sit down in court.
The chief executive is now responsible for the misfortunes and blessings of millions of people in three houses and two houses, how can he If you put yourself in danger again, you will give that scoundrel an opportunity to take advantage of."
"Yes, the Chief Executive has thought twice about how he has the right to ask the Chief Executive to fulfill his contract now that Tuotuo is no longer the Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty.
Moreover, even if he has not been dismissed from office, the Chief Executive agreed to meet with him in the first place just to slow down his fighting spirit.
There is no reason to fulfill the contract after the purpose has been achieved."
Zhang Yi, who joined the army, followed closely behind the old master and seconded his opinion loudly.
"According to the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Office, when Li Hanqing was under Tuo Tuo's account, he had recruited a group of people who had no distinction between right and wrong to serve the court.
Now, although the trees have fallen and the hozens have dispersed, it is inevitable that one or two will choose to stay."
Director of the Military Intelligence Office Chen Ji's third statement, from another angle, advised Zhu Chongjiu to withdraw his previous decision.
"The reputation of the lord comes from the front lines of the two armies and the people's dining tables.
It is not just a casual promise in the arena."
Luo Ben, the prefect of Yangzhou, had a more realistic reason for his opposition.
"Whether you go or not, it will not damage the reputation of the Grand Steward."
The imperial court's 300,000-strong army had just been defeated, and they took the opportunity to seize a corner of Denglai.
Now among all the heroes in the world, who can be as famous as his own general manager?
Not only that, as the flood receded, the Hundreds of Workshops expanded rapidly.
As well as large-scale land redistribution in Xuzhou, Suzhou and Anfeng, the refugees also have hope for life.
Today, in the eyes of the common people, Mr.
Zhu has become a truly compassionate Buddhist disciple.
Breaking your promise once or twice will have no impact at all.
"You have misunderstood, I am not actually here to fulfill my promise."
Seeing the opposition from the civil servants getting louder and louder, Zhu Chongjiu had to wave his hands and explain, "Although Tuotuo is the prime minister of an enemy country, he has the ability to lead troops to fight.
But not there As I waited, I knew everything about Meng Yuan's side, so I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to meet with him and ask him for advice.
At least I could get some information from him.
Here are some secrets from the imperial court."
This is just perfunctory to everyone.
In fact, Zhu Chongjiu's purpose is not at all.
Deep down in his heart, he was still seriously influenced by Zhu Dapeng.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Futong, Zhang Shicheng, Liu Bowen and other figures who once left traces in the history of another time and space, there is a strong urge to hand it over.
For Tuotuo, the red-dressed master in storytelling and the pillar of the Yuan Dynasty, he also loves the house and the bird.
I wish I could meet him soon and see if this person is like the person in the novel, with the bright light behind his head Note 1 However, his true thoughts could not be expressed publicly at all.

And in this time and space, so far, there is no such term as "star-chasers".
Fortunately, with victory after victory, Zhu Chongjiu's authority within the Huaiyang Clique has been basically established.
Although everyone didn't want him to act recklessly, they couldn't speak too harshly.
We can only use roundabout strategies to dispel his thoughts bit by bit.
Among the civil servants, Feng Guoyong must be the best at doing this kind of roundabout way of persuading people.
He smiled, stood up and gently cupped his hands towards Zhu Chongjiu, "Now that my Huaiyang is full of waste, my lord has no time to see him.
If Tuotuo wants to fulfill his contract, he can just come to Yangzhou by boat.
Anyway, my lord used to be He didn’t even kill prisoners indiscriminately, let alone a down-and-out little official who came to his door.”
"It's true."
Before Zhu Chongjiu could say anything, Lu Luzeng rushed to add.
"Instead of going to die elsewhere, it would be better for Tuotuo to come directly to Yangzhou City.
At least the lord will not kill him."
"This" Zhu Chongjiu thought for a while and was about to explain a few more words.
Suddenly there was a violent coughing sound in my ears.
"Uh huh huh huh.
Mr.
Su suddenly lost his breath after taking a sip of tea.
He leaned over and his shoulders moved up and down.
"The general seconded the proposal for Feng to join the army."
Shi Ludeshan, commander of the fifth army, immediately understood and stood up from his seat, saying loudly.
"My lord, you can't meet anyone who wants to.
If you are willing to let Tuotuo come to Yangzhou, you have already given him enough face."
"Feng Shenjun's words are reasonable, and I second my opinion."
Wu Liangmou reacted quickly enough, and immediately stood up to express his attitude.
As the Huai'an army grew stronger, his family members far north of the Yellow River became increasingly safe.
Some local officials even took the initiative to visit him.
Clearly the purpose was to investigate the origins of a traitorous son of the Wu family who had been removed from the genealogy, but secretly, they made promises to Wu Liangmou's father that as long as the court did not force them, they would never touch the Wu family village.
Even if the court really goes crazy one day, they will inform the news in advance so that the Wu family has enough time to escape to the south of the Yellow River.
Therefore, Wu Liangmou did not want anything to happen to Zhu Chongjiu, whether in public or private matters.
If possible, he even hoped that General Zhu would treat Yangzhou City as his capital and never leave even half a step away.
Although the scheming of several other generals was not as deep as Wu Liangmou's.
But I also feel that it is not appropriate for my protagonist to meet his former enemy.
Under the hints of Mr.
Su and Lu Zeng, they all stood up one after another and said with a smile, "The general also seconded the proposal for Feng to join the army.
If Tuotuo dares to come, the lord will entertain him with good food and drink, and then send him a ship."
Cross the Yangtze River and wait until he reaches his post safely to see if the emperor will be angry to death."
"The last general thinks that what Feng Canjun and General Hu said makes sense.
The fact that the governor is willing to meet him in Yangzhou City has already given him a lot of face.
If he doesn't dare to come, it's no wonder the governor" Immediately afterwards, the reserve talents who were specially trained in the staff also spoke up and joined in the fun.
There are various things he said, but in the end there is only one core point: Manager Zhu should not keep that "a promise of a thousand pieces of gold".
If you want to see him, let Tuotuo come to Yangzhou by himself.
With the current strength and self-confidence of the Huai'an Army, everyone will never be cruel to a person who has been abandoned by the court.
In the blink of an eye, the only person sitting silently was Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, who had just joined the General Manager Shogunate.
In his right hand, he was holding a folding fan, which is very popular on the market recently, and he was beating it repeatedly with his palm.
His eyes were half open and half closed, as if he had become a god in the world.

"Uncle" Luo Ben, the prefect of Yangzhou, secretly kicked the leg of the chair where Liu Bowen was sitting to show his dissatisfaction.
For this cheap uncle, he was a hundred and twenty headaches.
At the beginning, he was obviously reluctant to leave Yangzhou, but he pretended to be "not eating Zhousu millet" and refused to accept Manager Zhu's solicitation.
Turning around, Manager Zhu sent someone to take a sum of money to fund his school, and the old man immediately accepted it without hesitation.
He also boasted that the purpose of establishing the academy was to rectify the origins and combat various heresies prevalent in the three places of Huaiyang, "to carry forward the unique learning for the past saints, and to create peace for all generations."
As a result, when the academy opened, only a few people came to study.
These days, children from wealthy families go to government-run county schools and government schools in order to work under the general manager and seek fame after completing their studies.
Children from small families go to technical schools to learn skills and earn an enviable high salary in the future.
Who can only inherit the true knowledge of ancient sages and sages from Mr.
Liu after they have eaten enough?
After they come out, they will inherit the mantle of his old man and specifically fight against the Grand Manager's Office.
As a result, the academy was naturally half-open.
However, Uncle Liu could keep his composure and continued to recite poems, compose poems, and extract chapters and sentences every day.
Occasionally, when I go out for a walk, the people I make friends with are all the top wealthy people in the past, and I don't even bother to associate with Huaiyang's new rich.
Unexpectedly, such a stubborn donkey would suddenly stand up at the critical moment and take command of the Fourth Army.
Wu Xiyu stabilized the hearts of the gentry in Yangzhou City.
Then he risked his life and went to Fang Guzi's military camp to tell Chen that he was powerful.
This caused Fang Guozhen to turn around and side with the Huai'an Army at the critical moment, and cooperated with the Huai'an Fourth Army to defeat Dong Juanxiao's Zhejiang Army to a pulp.
After making such great achievements, Master Liu could no longer remain an outsider.
So he followed the trend, and with the joint recommendation of Wu Xiyu, Luo Ben, Lu Luzeng and others, he officially entered the General Manager's Office, becoming the fifth person to join the army with a specialized position after Feng Guoyong.
But after joining the army, Master Liu's old habits soon returned.
He almost doesn't like anything he looks at, and he complains at every turn.
Whenever there was a formal discussion, he was like Xu Shu entering Cao's camp, keeping his mouth shut and only listening but not speaking.
Fortunately, Mr.
Zhu is very generous and never cares about this person.
Otherwise, according to Su Changshi's temperament, he would have been kicked out early and let him continue to be the head of the bare mountain to amuse himself.
How could he have been living without food until today?
So no matter what today, Robben had to force his uncle to open his mouth and say something.
Even if he follows the crowd, he cannot continue to manipulate it.
Otherwise, the general manager will get tired of him sooner or later, and Robben will be stuck there, and he will not be a good person both inside and outside.
Unexpectedly, Liu Bowen, who had never spoken before no matter how hard he tried, suddenly jumped up after being kicked once today.
Using the paper fan as a hand, he raised it towards Zhu Chongjiu and said loudly: "My lord has determined that Tuotuo is a hero, so let's go.
Why bother looking forward and backward?
Looking at the annals of history, we have never seen the two countries fighting.
It would not be so stupid to rely on assassins to decide the outcome."
Note 1: In the traditional storytelling of this time and space, the image of Tuotuo was very successfully created.
In addition to choosing the wrong camp, almost all the six items of wisdom, courage, loyalty, righteousness, trustworthiness, and etiquette were taken up
