Chapter 188: The Jade Pixiu Who Commanded the Eight Directions
In order to bite beef, he was born and died, and fought for a lifetime, it sounds like Tang He is a fool, but judging from the results, this old fat man is the one who really lives the most clearly!
The heroes rose together, competing in all directions, and Tang He knew his own skills very well. He is not a top performer in battle, not to mention his literary talents, and his strategy is not surprising, in general, he is outstanding, not outstanding.
But in this troubled world, if you are not the strongest, there is no way to live.
So it was clear that Tang He joined the army first and became an official first, but he still invited Zhu Yuanzhang to come, he had a thousand households, and he obeyed the words of a big-headed soldier.
In terms of age, Tang and Zhu Yuanzhang are three years old, and in terms of status, he is the first to take up arms. But this guy is desperate for Zhu Yuanzhang and has never hesitated.
Let him fight, and he will fight, let him defend one side, and he will defend the enemy honestly.
Tang He's performance finally warmed Lao Zhu's suspicious heart.
Among the founding heroes, Chang Yuchun was the first to be brave, Xu Da was unparalleled in commanding the army, Li Shanchang was strategic, Liu Bowen was resourceful, and the rest Feng Sheng, Deng Yu, and Li Wenzhong, these people's abilities were above Tang He.
It seems that Tang He only relied on Zhu Yuanzhang's support and loyalty to rank among the founding heroes, and he was too inferior to others.
But today, Liu Chun is completely clear that among these founding heroes, the most terrifying is this harmless Tang He!
From the day Lao Zhu started his business, he knew very well that he must have a strong team.
The Red Turbans are a very obvious counter-example. At the beginning of the incident, the Red Turban Army was so powerful, including Lao Zhu, who was a member of the Red Turban Army.
But the Red Turban Army was not in harmony internally, the Northern Expedition could not concentrate its forces, it was divided, and if there was a slight setback, they would kill each other, so that the enemy could reap the benefits of the fisherman...... Well, Lao Zhu is the biggest fisherman.
So Zhu Yuanzhang learned from the pain and began to grant the most trusted Tang He the authority to recruit talents and supervise his generals, and at the same time...... It also blends into other camps to disintegrate the morale of the opposing army, divide the relationship between the upper and lower levels, divide and disintegrate, and win over the disgruntled ......
Tang He is not very smart, but this person has advantages, he is bold and willing to put down his book.
He knew that the old man could take a fancy to him because he was inconspicuous, and no one would have thought that a person who was mediocre in all aspects could become the most terrible poisonous snake.
Tang He followed Lao Zhu's thinking, from Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng's side, constantly looking for places where he could start, buying, wooing, and doing everything...... Finally, after defeating the two most powerful enemies, Zhu Yuanzhang unified the south, and then waved his army north to expel Dayuan.
During the Northern Expedition, Tang He also exerted his ability to bribe Wang Baobao's subordinate generals to fight a night battle, killing more than 40,000 cavalry, and completely expelling the forces of the Yuan Dynasty from the front line of the Great Wall.
Lao Tang served beef and told Liu Chun about his glorious history.
"Do you know about the water battle in Poyang Lake?"
Liu Chun nodded, "Of course this late student knows, what's the matter, the old man also contributed?" ”
Tang He grabbed his beard and said with a smile: "The battle was fought, but the key is that I also offered a plan - it was for Chen Jiusi!" ”
Chen Youliang's original name was Chen Jiusi, and like Zhu Chongba, he was born as a bitter child, and through hard work, he became the overlord of one party, but Chen Jiusi's head was not as powerful as Chongba.
Tang He sent Chen Jiusi a clever plan to cross the river with an iron cable through internal response, and then what happened, needless to say, Zhu Yuanzhang relied on the fire boat and burned Chen Youliang's sailors, laying the victory in one fell swoop.
Such a brilliant idea made us come over from Luo University and put it on the Battle of Chibi, and everyone knows it from then on......
"Old Guogong, do you really have such great magical powers?" Liu Chun was puzzled: "Chen Youliang is also a hero, is he really obediently tricked?" ”
"Hahaha! Boy, how do you know, the old man told you a secret, Chen Youliang's most trusted general, the henchman of the henchmen, and a golden pixiu in his hand! ”
"Jin Pixiu?" Liu Chun's eyes widened, "Really? ”
Tang He said with a smile: "What am I doing to lie to you as a child, Your Majesty gave you the Jade Pixiu, and those people who hold the Golden Pixiu will naturally listen to your orders!" ”
"Oops!"
Liu Chun subconsciously touched the jade pixiu in his arms, this thing is amazing! It looks more domineering than any military talisman holy decree!
Zhu Yuanzhang actually handed over the most secret power in his hand to himself, this is too nonsense, right?
Could it be that Lao Zhu really trusts himself so much?
Put yourself in the same position as Yuwa?
Liu Chun's little heart was pounding.
"That...... Old Guogong, can you ask for advice in the late life, how many people are still under my control? ”
"How many people?" Tang He thought about it seriously, and then said with a smile: "I don't know either!" ”
"What?"
Liu Chun almost choked, "Old Guogong, let's stop joking, okay?" Your Majesty gave me this thing, and I don't even know how many soldiers I have, so am I not a fool? ”
"You're right, but I don't know how many people are left." Tang He put down his chopsticks, and he said very seriously: "The so-called Shenwei, that is, Pixiu Wei, was only granted before His Majesty ascended the throne, and it was all secret, and the accurate list was only available to His Majesty." According to the rank, it is divided into four grades: jade, gold, silver, and bronze, although jade Pixiu is the highest in name, in fact, the other three grades can also be reported to His Majesty for important matters alone. ”
"You kid calculate, it's been twenty-two years since the founding of the country now, even if you were a twenty-year-old young man, you are already past now...... In fact, I know that the youngest Pixiuwei is also in his thirties, and he must have a wife and children. So now they are generally in their fifties, even sixty or seventy years old, and there are even bigger, it is possible. ”
Liu Chun took a breath, had a very bad premonition, and coughed dryly: "That, the old man, the big guys, are they all alive?" ”
Tang He smiled dumbly, "What do you think!" Pixiu Wei is not a real divine beast, it can live forever, as far as I know, there are no more than three out of ten, and it is generally the same as the old man, except for eating, just waiting for death. This time, the old man entered Beijing, which was to return the jade pixiu. Your Majesty also said that you want to invalidate Pixiuwei, but the old man can't figure it out, why did Your Majesty give you the Jade Pixiu, it's really strange! ”
The old guy shook his brain, looking puzzled.
Liu Chun was completely deflated.
knew that the surname Zhu would not be so good to him!
I thought Pixiu Wei was a group of cows...... In fact, it is true that these people have turned the world upside down and can do anything.
No matter how big a hero is, he can't bear the pig-killing knife of time.
Just look at Tang He, what else can you expect these old grandfathers to do?
Zhu Yuanzhang gave Jade Pixiu to himself, and he wanted to help these people retire and send them to the end!
Liu Chun was thinking wildly, and suddenly, Tang He put down his chopsticks and said, "Boy, the old man remembered, Your Majesty said that you are very good at making money?" ”
Liu Chun did not deny it, "I helped Your Majesty earn a lot of money, but I didn't fill my own pockets at all, I don't believe that the old man can check it himself." ”
Tang He smiled: "I'm a fool now, what can I find!" I suddenly figured it out, Your Majesty gave you this jade pixiu, it should be to let you help the big guy and live a comfortable life. After all, after so many years of hard work, it's time to retire. ”
really let Liu Chun guess it, really let him help the elderly to the end!
"I said Lao Guogong, aren't you all children and grandchildren around your knees, high-ranking officials and lords, what do you need me for!"
Tang He waved his hand, "Boy, what you said is wrong, among the Pixiu Guards, many identities are mysterious and cannot be revealed." Your Majesty cannot reward them for their deeds. Let me put it this way, there are still people being hunted down by the imperial court! Your Majesty's meaning should be to let you help the big guy arrange a way back and live a stable life. ”
Liu Chun thought about it, and finally made it clear.
Any hero, in order to compete for hegemony, must have done a lot of things that can't be said. If nothing else, Mingjiao is a taboo at the moment, and no one dares to talk nonsense.
As the Son of Heaven, of course Lao Zhu doesn't want these things to be known to the whole world. But the heroes of the past can't be ignored.
It stands to reason that Zhu Yuanzhang is a little mean, he can pretend to be deaf and dumb, but he also has to admit that Liu Chun's appearance made Lao Zhu change some views, at least he has to admit that the Son of Heaven can't do whatever he wants, without real money put there, the treasure money is worthless!
In the same way, those Pixiu guards who work for themselves cannot turn a blind eye.
Zhu Yuanzhang can't directly order these people to be rewarded, and he can't even admit their existence, he thinks about it, only Liu Chun is good at management, he has more industries in his hands, more ghost ideas, and more opportunities to make money...... It couldn't be more suitable to let this kid comfort Pixiu Wei for him.
Lao Zhu made it clear that he was a pit person, would Liu Chun be willing?
Actually, Liu Chun is desperate.
After thinking about it for a short time, Liu Chun figured it out, don't look old with these Pixiu guards, they don't use them, but almost all of them are treasures, and they are countless times more powerful than the Jinyi guards on the table now.
With these old people taking care of him, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, no one wants to touch half of his hair. If you dare to be unfavorable to Liu Chun, you or your Lao Tzu's ugly things can be brought out, those founding heroes, who have not seen the unsightly past......
Liu Chun suddenly felt that he had an extra Heavenly Divine Sword!
The most important thing at the moment is to let these old guys live for a few more years and shelter him from the wind and rain...... Thinking of this, Liu Chun suddenly jumped on the table, snatched the soup and the chopsticks in his hand, and said angrily: "You listen to me, from today onwards, you are not allowed to eat meat!" Look at your belly, do you still look like a warrior! From tomorrow onwards, go out with me to ride horses and shoot arrows, and restore the prestige of the Duke of Xinguo as soon as possible! ”
Tang He was dumbfounded in an instant, don't let him eat meat, you kid wants to die!
Lao Tang stretched out his big hand to grab Liu Chun.
How do you know that as soon as he was halfway caught, Liu Chun raised the jade pixiu high and asked as if demonstrating: "Tang He, do you want to commit the next offense?" ”
