That night, Zhu Yuanzhang in Hongdu City sent people to capture his good nephew from the brothel.
At this time, Zhu Wenzhen was already drunk.
Many generals under Zhu Yuanzhang already knew that he was planning to use military force against Chen Youliang.
More than a dozen generals gathered together, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's final instructions.
Zhu Wenzhen was carried in front of Zhu Yuanzhang by two people.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and the two men who were holding Zhu Wenzhen slipped away.
Zhu Wenzhen, on the other hand, simply lay down on the ground.
The dozen or so generals under Zhu Yuanzhang were all frowning.
In response, Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled slightly.
He picked up a basin of cold water and poured it directly on Zhu Wenzhen.
The drunk Zhu Wenzhen quickly opened his eyes.
The first person that comes into view is Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Wenzhen said: "Fourth uncle, why are you here in a brothel? I am more familiar with this Zuixinglou than you are. Come, come, there are some nice girls here recently, let me introduce them to you."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said: "Nephew, look around and see which girl is pretty so that I can sleep with her at night."
Zhu Wenzhen looked around with his drunken eyes.
Just one glance and Zhu Wenzhen was frightened.
He hurriedly said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Fourth uncle, here, here, how did I end up here with you? I deserve to die. Please send someone to beat me out with sticks now."
As he spoke, Zhu Wenzhen rolled and crawled out.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he was furious: "Someone come, stop this little bastard and don't let him get away."
Several big men holding steel knives blocked Zhu Wenzhen's way.
In a flash, Zhu Wenzhen was carried back to Zhu Yuanzhang by those people.
At this time, Zhu Wenzhen was already crying like rain.
He cried loudly and said, "Fourth uncle, please spare my nephew. I will go back to my hometown in Fengyang now. From now on, I will only be responsible for farming and herding cattle every day. If I dare to leave Fengyang in my life, you can break my legs."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Wenzhen coldly: "Nephew, you seem to be very afraid of me. Isn't it good for you to stay with me? Why do you always think about returning to your hometown in Fengyang, leading troops to fight, and conquering the battlefield? This should be the ambition of a man of our Zhu family, but why have you always been avoiding these things in recent years?"
Zhu Wenzhen cried and said, "Fourth uncle, I am a mediocre person. It is too difficult for me to lead troops to fight. Please let me go. I will go back to my hometown in Fengyang and leave now."
Zhu Wenzhen rolled and crawled out again.
But Zhu Yuanzhang said with a sinister look on his face: "Zhu Wenzhen, receive the order."
Zhu Wenzhen was stunned there, and then Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Zhu Wenzhen, from now on, you are the defender of Hongdu. I will give you 30,000 soldiers and horses. You must ensure that Hongdu will not be lost for a hundred days. If you dare to disobey the general, you will be executed immediately."
Zhu Wenzhen was already crying hard, and after hearing this order, he cried even harder.
…
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was also puzzled by some things.
"Zhu Yuanzhang knew that his nephew was a talented person. If he led troops to fight, he might not be worse than Xu Da and others. But why did he always avoid these things? He even indulged himself in alcohol and sex."
…
That night, Zhu Yuanzhang assembled his troops.
Taking advantage of the night, Zhu Yuanzhang's 200,000-strong army marched straight towards Chen Youliang's Huguang area.
His nephew Zhu Wen, with a look of despair on his face, stood on the city wall of Hongdu City, watching all this.
"Zhu Wenzhen is indeed a great talent. He not only understands himself, he also understands Zhu Yuanzhang."
"Zhu Wenzhen knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was a nostalgic and sentimental person, but at the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a suspicious person. Before he conquered the world, everything was easy to say. But if Zhu Yuanzhang really conquered the world, it would be hard to say what would happen in the future."
"After all, since ancient times, most emperors would abandon their rulers after they have served their purpose."
Before leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang left a few guards for Zhu Wenzhen. He said to Zhu Wenzhen directly: "Hongdu is yours from today on. I don't care how you defend Hongdu, but there are two points you must abide by."
"First, you are not allowed to surrender. Second, you cannot abandon the country."
"If you violate any of these two points, you will be chopped into meat sauce immediately."
…
Chen Youliang had just captured Longping Prefecture, and Zhu Yuanzhang had already sent troops to Huguang.
Zhang Wuji, who had just suffered a defeat, was still on his way back to Jinyang.
Yu Fei and Yang Xiao also rushed back to them.
Several women sat around a campfire.
Whether it was sincere or false, this was something they had to do. After all, among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, there were only a few women.
You can't help but sit together.
Zhu'er heated up a pancake by the campfire and ran happily towards the carriage that Zhang Wuji was riding in.
However, when Zhu'er quietly lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, she walked back disappointed.
Zhao Linger said with a smile: "Sister Zhu'er, is the young master still asleep?"
Zhu'er said unhappily: "Brother Wuji is indeed still asleep, and Zhou Zhiruo is still staying beside him."
"These two people sleeping in each other's arms is so ambiguous that it makes me angry just looking at it."
Zhao Linger laughed and said, "Sister Zhu'er, please stop picking on Sister Zhou. I've seen her injuries. If it were an ordinary person, she would have died long ago. Just let her sleep with the young master for a while."
Zhu'er's face instantly turned into a look of shame.
She quickly explained: "I, I didn't mean that, I, I, damn it, I won't explain, I'm just jealous, but I didn't think about anything else."
The other women all burst into laughter, and even Yu Fei, an outsider, couldn't help laughing out loud.
"In fact, in Yu Fei's eyes, these women of Zhang Wuji are quite interesting. At least, they don't have any bad intentions towards each other. All things are put on the table. If they don't like each other, they will quarrel. If the quarrel is not enough to vent their anger, they will fight each other."
"The intrigues in the deep palace have never appeared in them."
…
On the other side, inside Dragon City.
Zhao Min's team had already rushed back.
The gateway to Yuan Dadu was finally blocked by Zhao Min.
At such a critical moment, retaking Longcheng would prevent Zhang Wuji from advancing eastward from Hexi.
At this moment, Zhao Min came to Batur's former general's mansion.
It's still spotless here.
Wang Baobao found more than a dozen beautiful girls from the general's mansion.
Wang Baobao asked Zhao Min, "Empress Dowager, these dozen girls have been hiding here. May I ask, Your Majesty, should we kill them or keep them?"
Zhao Min was stunned when she saw these dozen girls.
These dozen or so girls are all beautiful and it is obvious that they are not ordinary women.
Zhao Min asked them, "You, are you all Zhang Wuji's concubines?"
