Chapter 37 Prisoners and Guests
"Cang Fei has already assembled an army and is preparing to attack the Central Plains. We will fight with him soon. The Qin army is powerful. We should put aside our past differences, let go of our prejudices, and unite as one. Only then can we hope for victory." Bu Dai Monk I can't say what to put my hands together, said.

His words are obviously meant for people of the right way. Don't look at the fact that they jointly dealt with the Yuan soldiers before and discussed forming an alliance to deal with Cang Fei, but there was a lot of turmoil between the two parties.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "We raised our troops to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty. We had already arrived in Dadu that day, but you insisted on returning to the Central Plains, which made us miss the opportunity. Now the Yuan Dynasty has not been overthrown, but instead wants to fight with the Han Dynasty." What kind of reason is this for my brothers to go to war?"

His tone was furious, with an angry look on his face.

Xu Da also said: "Yes! Why do we let go of the Mongols and fight with our own people to the death?"

He has a straight face, and his words are doubly convincing.

"Amitabha!" Kong Wen clasped his hands together and said, "The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty have declined, and it is only a matter of time before they are driven out of the customs. I don't care about this day or two, but if Cang Fei enters the Central Plains, it is not a problem to drive him away." Easy."

Zhu Yuanzhang blamed Mingjiao for withdrawing troops, Mingjiao did not explain, but Kongwen was trying to smooth things over, which seemed very strange.

But in fact, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang chose to return to the Central Plains was entirely because the Shaolin Temple was in the way.

Zhu Yuanzhang is the leader of the righteous army launched by Shaolin Temple, but the interests of the two parties are not completely consistent. Shaolin Temple values ​​​​Zhu Yuanzhang's ability to fight well, and his generals are full of talents and have the capital to dominate the world.

And Zhu Yuanzhang hoped to get the support of Shaolin Temple and Zhengdao. After all, the big rebels now have a martial arts background. If he had the support of Shaolin Temple in the Central Plains uprising, it would be much more convenient, otherwise he would not be able to compete with Mingjiao.

But the relationship between the two parties is more due to the joint interests, and the differences between the two parties are getting bigger and bigger.

At the beginning of the alliance, the two sides were like fish in water. The power of Shaolin Temple and Zhengdao expanded unprecedentedly, and Zhu Yuanzhang's rebel army also developed vigorously.

After the Central Plains were divided into two parts, Zhengdao and Mingjiao began to diverge on their future strategies. Shaolin Temple and Zhu Yuanzhang looked to the north at that time, hoping to march into Hebei, capture Dadu, and completely expel Yuan soldiers.

Originally, Mingjiao also planned this way, but Cang Fei's sudden outburst gave Mingjiao another idea.

At that time, Cang Fei annexed the territory of the Tianying Sect, and then captured Jiangxi. These were the original places of the Ming Sect, so they became sworn enemies with the Ming Sect.

The leader of the Ming army in the Central Plains is hard to say, if Yin Tianzheng has a normal relationship with him, then Monk Peng is his best buddy, Wusanren wears a pair of pants, after being killed by Cang Fei, he has no affection for Cang Fei anymore .

But Cang Fei has grown, it is not easy to deal with Cang Fei, he may not be a monk, but he also knows how to play tricks.

On the one hand, he joined forces with Taoist Tieguan and Zhou Dian, and on the other hand contacted Yin Tianzheng and his son who were defeated by Cang Fei, and took the line of Dai Qisi and Han Qianye.

It is a very good ideal for the four parties to join forces to deal with Cang Fei. If it is realized, it will definitely cause trouble for Cang Fei, and maybe even avenge Monk Peng.

However, in the face of the ferocious Cang Fei, he felt that this was not safe enough, so he sent invitations to Shaolin Temple and Zhu Yuanzhang. If he got their help, no matter how powerful Cang Fei was, he would not be able to overthrow the sky.

But Shaolin Temple and Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree. Instead, they invited Yuan soldiers to say no to the Northern Expedition. During the conversation, a lot of national righteousness was suppressed, and they said that personal grievances should be put aside, and Yuan soldiers should be expelled first, and the government must not be abolished for personal reasons.

Of course, it is one thing to say that it is wrong, but thinking that my side is not enough, if there is help from Zhengdao, the chances of winning will be greater, so I actively negotiated with Zhengdao, and finally got a compromise plan.

Zhengdao promised to form an alliance with Mingjiao to deal with Cangfei together in the future, but before that, the Yuan Dynasty must be overthrown and the Mongols should be expelled from the pass.

Therefore, they convened all forces to hold a meeting of the alliance of good and evil in Wudang Mountain, and at the same time they convened troops to go north to Hebei to fight against Yuan soldiers.

Their plan is very ideal. Yuan Bing is the primary enemy. After killing him, they can deal with the potential threat of Cang Fei, which is very beneficial to both parties.

It's just that they didn't expect Cang Fei to change his behavior so much. When they attacked Hebei, Cang Fei made troubles in Jingxiang, killed Yang Xiao, humiliated the Emei faction, and the whole Jingxiang was captured by him. The tragic death of the Iron Crown Taoist and the collapse of the Wudang faction shocked Zhu Yuanzhang and Unbelievable.

At that time, he wanted to return to the Central Plains, but Zhu Yuanzhang refused, and Shaolin Temple also stood by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Cang Fei has always been against the Mingjiao. Shaolin Temple and Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, and while comforting them, they covered their mouths and laughed. The weaker the Mingjiao is, the more obvious the advantage of Zhengdao in the Central Plains will be.

As for the Wudang faction?What the hell is that?

Not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care, even the Shaolin faction just sneered.

Wudang School was founded by Zhang Sanfeng, a traitor from Shaolin. Shaolin School has long disliked Wudang School. Now that Wudang School is destroyed, let Cang Fei fight the rebellion for Shaolin Temple.

Unlike the Mingjiao who care about each other, the six righteous sects are vigilant against each other, and they don't trust each other.

Both Shaolin Temple and Zhu Yuanzhang were unwilling to return to the Central Plains, so they could bear it for the sake of opposing the Yuan Dynasty, but this put Zhou Dian in Huaibei in danger.

The death of Zhou Dian and the destruction of the Beggar Gang made the situation worse.

Unable to bear it any longer, regardless of Zhu Yuanzhang's opposition, he led the Ming army to the south to avenge Monk Peng, Taoist Tieguan and Zhou Dian.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still unwilling to return to the Central Plains at that time. Once he returned to the Central Plains, the Yuan soldiers would definitely fight back, and Hebei might return to the Yuan soldiers.

The forces in the Central Plains are criss-crossed, and he and the Shaolin Temple jointly occupy half of the territory, and he is still facing the attack of the Qin soldiers. If he is defeated and the land in Hebei is taken back by the Yuan soldiers, then wouldn’t Zhu Yuanzhang have no place to stand?
Zhu Yuanzhang was a hero in his first life, but he didn't want to play an unsure account. Now most of them are in danger, how could he miss the opportunity.

But not to mention having to be willing to stay in Hebei, even the Shaolin faction returned to the Central Plains in the end.

Unlike Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang can survive in Hebei, but Shaolin Temple is in the Central Plains. If the Central Plains is captured by Cang Fei, Shaolin Temple will be destroyed in Cang Fei's hands.

Therefore, major differences arose between the Shaolin School and Zhu Yuanzhang.

One wants to return to the Central Plains, and the other wants to continue to attack Dadu.

The Shaolin faction ignored Zhu Yuanzhang and took him away after persuading him to no avail.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a dilemma. He could not have left with the Mingjiaoyi army. The coalition forces weakened, and after the Shaolin faction also took people away, there were not many martial arts masters left in his army, and he no longer had an advantage over the Yuan soldiers.

At this time, if you fight against the main force of Yuan soldiers in Dadu, who will destroy who will not know?
After some consideration, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to retreat, and when he returned to the Central Plains, most of the land in Hebei was really recovered by Yuan soldiers, which is annoying to think about.

The people Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da complained just now were not only about not being able to wait for people in the Ming Cult, but also those "short-sighted" bald donkeys in Shaolin Temple.

Deng Yudao: "Things have come to this, what are these things talking about? The masters of Shaolin Temple are just thinking about our foundation."

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da with reminders in his eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da stopped talking. Although they complained just now, they also understood that the situation is stronger than others. Now that Hebei has fallen into the hands of Yuan soldiers again, they were forced to return to the Central Plains. This is where they were based. , once lost, there will be no place to stand, no matter how dissatisfied with Mingjiao and Shaolin, now they can only smash their teeth and swallow blood.

Brothers Hua Yun, Wu Liang, and Wu Zhen of Zhu Yuanzhang's group kept silent, but seeing a trace of anger in their eyes, they obviously understood the ins and outs of the matter, and they didn't say much because of the current situation.

Monk Bu Dai said that he could not wait for the followers of the Ming Cult, and quietly watched the disputes between people in the Righteous Way, without intervening.

Now that the situation has become like this, they are not worried that Zhu Yuanzhang and the others will not cooperate. Zhu Yuanzhang and the others have no way out. The situation is even worse than Mingjiao.

Even if Mingjiao fails, there are other places to go, but if Zhu Yuanzhang and the others lose the Central Plains, they will become rootless weeds, so it is Zhu Yuanzhang and others who should be worried at this time, not Mingjiao.

Of course, the most worrying thing is the Shaolin Temple. Zhu Yuanzhang can still escape if he is defeated, but if the Shaolin Temple is defeated, can he escape the monks and the temple?

Shaolin Temple has been passed down for hundreds of years, whether it can be preserved or not is a matter of course.

It could not be said that after Zhu Yuanzhang and the people from Shaolin Temple finished their discussions, he said: "It seems that everyone has no objection to joining forces to fight against the Qin soldiers. Our Ming army will be led by Brother Han Shantong and Han as the commander, and Brother Liu Futong and Liu as the deputy commander. We will not intervene and only hope that the two parties will cooperate sincerely at that time."

Both Han Shantong and Liu Futong nodded, and the rest of Mingjiao had no objection.

Don't look at the Central Plains area, Budai monk can't be said to be the leader of Mingjiao, but even if he is a five-scattered person, he has a high position in Mingjiao, but Han Shantong and Liu Futong handle most of the affairs in the army. In terms of martial arts, he is the Mingjiao in the field The highest in the world, but in terms of military strategy, it is another matter.

On the other side, the same is true for the righteous side. The three monks, Kong Wen, Kong Zhi and Kong Xing, are excellent in martial arts, but compared with Zhu Yuanzhang and the others in military affairs, they are far behind.

Zhu Yuanzhang is the commander-in-chief of the Righteous Army, and Xu Da is the assistant. All the generals are on fire and muster their energy to prepare for a showdown with the Qin soldiers.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and others are no different from dogs driven into poor alleys. Losing the Central Plains means losing their foundation, and they will not be able to live in the future.

……

While Zhengdao and Mingjiao formed an alliance, Cang Fei, who had left the customs, was meeting with two people.

A prisoner and a guest.

The former is Zhao Junyong, a military strategist of the Huaibei Ming Army, and the latter is Chen Youliang, a military strategist of the Beggar Clan Rebel Army.

Cang Fei sat at the top, looking at the two people below with narrowed eyes.

Zhao Jun was dressed in ragged clothes, and he was imprisoned in the dungeon of Xuzhou City during the month Cang Fei was imprisoned.

This former military division of the Ming Army fled after the defeat, and was finally caught up by the pursuers. His soldiers either died or fled. closed.

Chen Youliang sat on the guest seat, sipping tea, with a calm expression on his face.

He was treated differently from Zhao Junyong because Zhao Junyong was captured alive, while he surrendered on his own initiative.

After he was defeated in Shouchun City, he fled all the way to the north. At the same time, he continued to gather rebels from the Beggars' Clan, with a total of [-] people, which can be regarded as a good force.

However, he did not choose to bring this man to continue fighting against Qin Bing. Instead, he made a turn and announced that he would surrender to Qin Bing. He also has a share of the credit.

At that time, Zhao Junyong wanted to escape to the Central Plains, but it was Chen Youliang who blocked his retreat, otherwise maybe Zhao Junyong could really escape.

Although Chen Youliang was hostile to the Ming army before, he later surrendered and offered a certificate of surrender, allowing the land of Huaibei to fall into the hands of the Qin army, which reduced the casualties of the Qin army. Zhang Meng was full of joy. After that, Chen Youliang was accepted and treated well.

After Cang Fei got out of customs, he heard the news and summoned these two people immediately.

"Brother Zhao, how are you doing these days?" Cang Fei stared at Zhao Junyong with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

His relationship with Mingjiao is hard to put into words. Although his personality is getting more and more serious, his heart is not made of iron after all. He still has some thoughts about those who used to drink and talk happily.

On the battlefield, in an atmosphere of iron and blood, he can ruthlessly kill the killer, but now he sees the downcast Zhao Junyong, but he can't help but feel compassion.

"I'm a prisoner, what else can I do? But for your sake, no one tortured me." Zhao Junyong sighed.

He had the best relationship with Cang Fei among the senior officials of the Ming army in Huaibei in the past, and he even wanted to surrender to Cang Fei, but he did not expect to get to such a point in the end.

Cang Fei closed his eyes lightly, and when he opened them again, his eyes became sincere, and said: "Brother Zhao, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, you are in my hands now, there is no chance of escaping. There is only one way to survive. Dedicate yourself to my country of Qin, you can choose now."

Zhao Jun fell silent, the choice was simple but difficult.

He is a member of the Ming Cult, and he is loyal to the Ming Cult, but what is before him now is a choice that concerns his own life.

Surrender, you will bear infamy and be despised by others, if you don't surrender, you will die immediately.

He looked gloomy and uncertain, and it took him a long time to grit his teeth and make a decision.

　I was recommended by a mobile client, martial arts masterpieces, when the chivalrous bookworm mentioned it, I didn’t care, but after looking at it now, the collection has increased by more than 100 in just one night, I was really shocked.
