Chen Youliang has gone mad.
He would not listen to anyone now. No matter how his generals tried to dissuade him, he was determined to have a decisive battle with Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment.
Chen Youliang was the commander-in-chief of the three armies.
He had the determination and strength to unify the world, but unfortunately, because he had been stuck in a dead end for too long in the tiny place of Hongdu, the time and place were not favorable, and he was on Zhu Yuanzhang's side.
As for the harmony among people, Chen Youliang also lost half of it.
Ever since Chen Youliang refused to listen to other people's opinions, his army had already begun to become alienated.
…
Compared with Chen Youliang's madness, Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment was much calmer.
Because Chen Youliang was falling step by step into the pit he had dug in advance.
Changsha City, inside the Prince of Han’s Palace.
This was originally the capital of Chen Youliang, but now it has become the place where Zhu Yuanzhang holds a banquet for his generals.
Generals such as Liu Bowen, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun have already been eager to try.
Chang Yuchun said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Marshal, now our troops have swept across the Huguang area."
"We have even captured Chen Youliang's capital. I guess it's time for a decisive battle with Chen Youliang?"
Xu Da also said: "Yes, Marshal, I have followed you in starting the rebellion for more than ten years. Today's victory was indeed hard-won. We should press on and pursue the victory to capture Chen Youliang in one fell swoop."
"After defeating Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng was the only one left in Jiangnan."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "My generals, the land of Jiangnan is already within our reach, and the world is at hand."
"But there is some news recently, I wonder if you have heard about it."
"Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min both became emperors."
Xu Da and Chang Yuchun looked at each other. Although they were both military generals, they were also smart people.
The two men quickly knelt on the ground.
Xu Da said: "General, in fact, I have long wanted to die to persuade you to become emperor, but I never had the opportunity."
"Right now, Jiangnan will soon fall into your hands. When Chen Youliang is defeated, it will be your time to ascend the throne and become emperor."
Chang Yuchun also quickly said: "Yes, Marshal, Zhang Wuji is just a young boy, and Zhao Min is even more of a woman. These two can be emperors, so it is not too much for you to be the Jade Emperor."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily and helped them both up.
"This matter has caused a stir. I'm afraid that my two beloved generals have misunderstood my meaning. I don't want to be emperor. I just said it casually."
The joy on Zhu Yuanzhang's face was beyond words.
Even a fool could see that he wanted to be emperor.
Chang Yuchun said: "Marshal, you must decide this matter today. The country cannot be without a king for a day."
"I suggest that after you unify the south of the Yangtze River, you should become emperor. If you don't agree, I will kill myself here."
Seeing this, Xu Da quickly said: "That's right, that's right. If you don't agree to become emperor, I will die here."
…
These routines are what everyone who wants to be an emperor must go through.
When Zhang Wuji proclaimed himself emperor, he was also subjected to this kind of [coercion].
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang could only say helplessly: "My two beloved generals, you, you are putting me in an unjust position."
"I, Zhu Yuanzhang, just want to save the people of the world, and have never thought about becoming an emperor."
Xu Da and Chang Yuchun said loudly: "We don't care. If you don't agree to be the emperor, we will kill ourselves in front of you."
Liu Bowen, who was standing by, turned green in the face.
He thought to himself, "Can these three act any more fake?"
"You're acting like this, aren't you just waiting for me to come out and smooth things over?"
In desperation, Liu Bowen walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Marshal, since ancient times, people have to do things with a legitimate reason. Since you care about the world, you must take the world as your responsibility, and if you take the world as your responsibility, you must do things with a legitimate reason."
"If you don't agree to be the emperor, I, Liu Bowen, will be the first to kill myself in front of you."
Zhu Yuanzhang was delighted in his heart, but on the surface, he frowned: "Sir, I never thought that you would force me like this."
"Okay, then I promise you that after I unify Jiangnan, I will ascend the throne and become emperor. At that time, you will all be my loyal ministers."
…
After the four people finished pretending to play this drama, Liu Bowen said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Marshal, let's talk about the matter of naming the country later."
"Now, our great cause is only half accomplished. Although we have taken over Chen Youliang's territory, Chen Youliang still has hundreds of thousands of troops fighting outside."
"Only after his army of hundreds of thousands is destroyed can Jiangnan be truly unified."
"Marshal, generals, please follow me."
As he spoke, Liu Bowen led the three of them to a map.
Then, Liu Bowen pointed his finger to the location of Poyang Lake.
…
The final overlord of Jiangnan is about to be decided.
Zhang Wuji, who was far away in Jinyang, was also recruiting soldiers in an urgent manner.
One day, after Zhang Wuji returned from the military camp, he went straight to Zhao Linger's room.
At this moment, Zhao Linger's belly was obviously much bigger than before.
Zhang Wuji smiled and touched Zhao Linger's belly a few times.
Then, he put his ear on Zhao Linger's belly.
Looking at Zhang Wuji's appearance, Zhao Linger felt very happy in her heart.
No matter what, even though he is much fatter now than before, there is still no trace of disgust in his eyes.
It is said that men are easily bored with the old and love the new, and they all prefer young people, but Zhang Wuji is not such a person.
"Young Master, did you hear anything?" Zhao Linger asked.
Zhang Wuji smiled and said: "I heard it. Our child said that he wanted to come out earlier and see the outside world."
After hearing this, Zhao Linger smiled slightly: "Young Master is getting better and better at lying. The child is not even born yet, so how can he speak?"
Zhang Wuji said: "So what if they are not born yet? We can communicate with our hearts."
Zhao Linger said: "Sir, do you know whether the baby in my belly is a boy or a girl?"
Zhang Wuji smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, sister. If it's a boy, he will be named the crown prince immediately. If it's a girl, I will wait until you give birth to a son before naming him the crown prince."
