Chapter 68 Xiao Wu Debate

Chen Li suddenly became interested in Zhang Xiaowu and looked at him and said, "What do you think of the situation, let me tell you, so that I can suddenly understand."

Zhang Xiaowu looked at his father, then at Chen Li, and hesitated: "My father said I had to talk big, but it's better for me not to say so as not to scold me."

Chen Li said: "It's okay, tell me, he won't scold you if I'm there."

Zhang Xiaowu spread out the map and said, "Since his father said how great the King of Han was and how brave the three armies were, Xiaowu suddenly had hope for the Han army. If the King of Han could survive this disaster, then according to this strategy, he would be able to slowly expand his strength and plan for development in the future."

Chen Li said: "You say, I listen."

Zhang Xiaowu pointed to the territory south of the map and said, "Now Zhu Yuanzhang's power is at its peak. The Han army cannot compete with him, so he can only avoid war. The Han king can retreat to Jinggangshan area. Wherever the mountain is dangerous, he can hide hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and then take the opportunity to seek the Fujian and Guangdong areas, and then subdue the pirates along the coast."

"Even if Zhu Yuanzhang fights, the King of Han can defend the best. If he loses, he can retreat to the sea. No matter how capable Zhu Yuanzhang is, he will be helpless. Moreover, there are many soldiers in the King of Han's army who are good at water warfare. Quanzhou and Fuzhou in Fujian have always been places where foreign trade is prosperous, and the King of Han can borrow maritime trade and obtain a lot of money."

Chen Li looked at the map, nodded, and said, "It makes sense, what about going on?"

Zhang Xiaowu was about to speak, but Zhang Bixian said furiously: "What kind of bullshit strategy is this? I want the old king and our brothers to fight for many years and finally win a land of two rivers and lakes. With such a stroke, you gave up so many territory?"

Zhang Xiaowu said: "The Hubei area has abundant resources and rich people and widespread people. Of course, it is a good place, but it is a place of four battles. Zhu Yuanzhang is determined to win. How can the King of Han fight? In addition, the defenders and officials there have long been a desire to surrender. Who is willing to contribute to the King of Han who is weak?"

"There are also Jiangxi and northern Hunan, where those places are close to Zhu Yuanzhang's territory. How can we defend with our existing troops? As long as Zhu Yuanzhang takes these places, their military strength will inevitably be dispersed, and it will not be easy to destroy the King of Han."

"When he entered the Central Plains, the King of Han had already gained a foothold and had recovered. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang would let him spit it out after eating it."

Zhang Bixian snorted and said, "It's easy to say, but it's not the case when you do it."

Chen Li looked at Zhang Xiaowu and smiled and said, "You continue talking."

Zhang Xiaowu said embarrassedly: "I have been thinking about it for several months, and it is just this superficial insight. As for what to do later, it is really impossible to rely on my talent and knowledge."

Chen Li sighed: "Zhu Yuanzhang has such a strong momentum in just a few years. He has talents such as Liu Bowen, Zhang Yi, Song Lian, Ye Dui, Li Bosheng, etc. He has these talented people with profound thoughts and extraordinary talents to give advice. He can't even think about it or not. If only I had a military advisor like Liu Bowen, I wouldn't have been confused."

Zhang Xiaowu's eyes lit up and he said, "Have you ever heard a word from the Han King?"

"What's the matter?"

"There are thousands of hearts in the north and the Wu Nao in the south."

Chen Li shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it."

Zhang Xiaowu said: "They are all hidden masters who have the secrets of heaven today. Wanxinhao's genius. It is said that he has a lot of mind and a lot of scheming. Few people can change more than his. Wu Nao is empty, and some people say that he has read all the books in the world and knows everything in the sky and earth. But he always says that his mind is empty, so stupid that he can't even count ten fingers, so he changed his name to Wu Nao."

"The people in the north say that Wanxin built a hut in Mount Tai to refine alchemy in order to live forever; people in the south also say that Wu Nao collected spiritual medicines in Jinggang Mountain to refine immortal pills, and dreamed of riding a crane. Of course, these are all legends. As for whether they are true or not, no one can tell what they look like."

Chen Li said in surprise: "There are such people in the world?"

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Yes. One of my friends has their manuscripts, but they are mysterious and unfathomable. I have read them, but I can't understand the mystery inside them."

Chen Li said: "In ancient times, Uncle Liu visited the cottage three times and won three parts of the world. Can I also imitate it?"

Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said, "Respecting talents in high places and recruiting talents in cottages is of course a legend of eternal eternity, but these talented people are arrogant and have no place to live. If you want to find them, it depends on fate and will. If the King of Han stationed troops in Jinggangshan, you might as well go and search for him at that time, maybe you can really make a story."

Zhang Bixian said disdainfully: "If a person really has such skills, can the world let him go? Many people in this world will be praised by unknown people after they have some skills."

"Take me as an example, there are rumors that I can summon the wind and rain. I am invincible with a plum blossom gun in my hand. It is like taking the enemy's head among the troops. Listen, I don't know how these words were spread, but many ordinary people believe it."

Chen Li smiled and said, "Isn't this good?"

Zhang Bixian also smiled and said, "Of course the more these words, the better. I just talk about myself and can't believe those false words."

Zhang Xiaowu said: "As the saying goes, the shadow of a tree and the name of a person. No matter what, since the legend is so wide, the people who are spread are always capable. For example, father, although the rumors outside are too exaggerated, you cannot deny that the former king and your three brothers could seize such a large territory and establish a regime. If you say you are not capable, who would believe it?"

Chen Lizhi smiled and said, "Brother Xiaowu said this well, it makes sense."

Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly knelt down and said, "The King of Han cannot be called that. How dare I call you brothers?"

Chen Li helped Zhang Xiaowu up and said, "What's wrong with calling him brother? Didn't the former king also call him brothers with his third and second uncles? What's wrong with us calling him that?

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Of course it is possible for ordinary people, but now you are noble and noble. This title does not conform to the way of the monarch and the subject."

Chen Li said: "Now that I, the King of Han, will become Zhu Yuanzhang's prisoner. Are you talking about the difference between high and low? It's okay, it's okay."

The two gave in to each other, then sat down and spoke again.

Zhang Xiaowu said: "The people in Nanchang City are unstable, so the King of Han must be more careful."

Zhang Bixian glared at Zhang Xiaowu again and said, "How can I not know such a simple truth for my father? I have already sent my confidants to guard all the city gates. Even if someone is ill-intentioned, he will not be able to do anything."

Zhang Xiaowu said seriously: "My father can't say that. I wonder if the former king was defeated by Jiangdongqiao because he was too confident? Didn't he trust his friend Kang Maocai very much?"

Zhang Bixian pointed at Zhang Xiaowu, opened his eyes wide, and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

This living example is really heartbreaking and convincing. Zhang Bixian wanted to refute it, but he couldn't say that Chen Youliang was not as good as knowing people by himself.
