    Being carried directly into Ma Bao's handsome hall by the soldiers of Ma Baojun, Chen Renjie, the fat man's army messenger, soon saw that the Ma Baoshuai hall was already full of generals of all levels, big and small, sitting in the middle of the hall.  With a grizzled face and beard, a rough expression, and wearing a phoenix-winged beast-face swallowing helmet specially designed for high-ranking military generals in the former Ming Dynasty, he presumably is Ma Bao, the former favorite general of the old traitor Wu and the current Generalissimo of the Honghua court.

    Sitting next to Ma Bao were many generals of the Wu army, beautiful and ugly, tall and short, but Chen Renjie joined the Fat Army after the Fat Army invaded Nanjing, so he didn't know any of these people, but sitting on the left side of Ma Bao  A middle-aged man in his forties caught Chen Renjie's attention. He was wearing a former Ming Tuan collar shirt with a golden pheasant pattern on his official uniform.  Guo Zhuang, Xia Guoxiang's confidant, was murdered.

    When Chen Renjie was observing Ma Bao and the others, Ma Bao and other generals of the Wu army were of course also observing Chen Renjie, and the first member of the Wu army standing on the right side of Ma Bao was quite puzzled and asked: "Are you the envoy sent by Lu Yifeng?  Why haven't we seen you in the old Pingxi Palace's team before?"

    "Report to this general, the small envoy Chen Renjie, who was sent by King Lu of the Yue King of the Great Zhou to apologize to General Ma Baobao, the General of the Great Zhou Conquest to the North." Chen Renjie tried not to let his fear show, and bowed his hands in a very respectful reply.  Said: "Xiaguan was originally the eighth-rank book of the magistrate's yamen in Jiangning. When Lord Lu led the Dazhou army to attack Nanjing, the Xiaguan followed Mr. Xie to abandon the secret and join the Dazhou army.  I have no post, so I have no blessing to see the dignity of the generals, and the generals have never seen the little envoy."

    "So that's the case." The general of the Wu army nodded, and then asked casually: "Then why didn't Lu Yifeng send an old man from the Pingxi palace? He just wanted to send a newcomer, and it was inconvenient to talk."

    "General, the reason for this is not clear to the emissary." Chen Renjie replied cautiously: "It may be because there is not even an old man in the Pingxi Palace in the Li Cao of the Yue Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the villain happens to be working in the Li Cao.  That's why Prince Lu casually appointed a villain as his envoy."

    "Marshal, did you hear me, did you hear me wrong?" Guo Zhuangmou said suddenly, turned to Ma Bao and said with a smile, "Does that rebellious boy surnamed Lu only treat outsiders as treasures and our old man in the Pingxi Palace as grass?"  ? Such a big Licao yamen, not even an old man from our Pingxi Palace?"

    Ma Bao snorted heavily and did not answer, but Chen Renjie came to his senses and quickly explained: "General Ma, don't get me wrong, there is no old man in Pingxi Palace in Licao of Yuewangfu, because Licao is the same as the Ministry of Rites.  They are all the poorest and least lucrative yamen in the six ministries, so we are the newcomers. The old people in the Pingxi Palace are all in places like Li Cao, Hu Cao and Bing Cao, and the slightly poorer criminal Cao and Gong Cao.  , there are very few old people in Pingxi Palace."

    "Boy Lu Yifeng, are you really treating our old man in Pingxi Palace so kindly?" Ma Bao finally asked with a curious expression on his face.

    "It's absolutely true." Chen Renjie nodded quickly, and replied honestly: "Young envoy dare not lie to the general, our prince values ??old love the most, and treats the old man of Pingxi palace most favorably.  The most ordinary soldier, now he has at least been promoted to be a post chief, and his military salary is higher than other newcomers. This is especially true for civil officials. Even the civil officials in Lu Wangye's team back then, even if they were a secretary, are now paid.  At least a county magistrate."

    Hearing Chen Renjie's words, all the generals in Ma Bao's team exclaimed in low voices with envy on their faces, but Guo Zhuangmou was furious and cursed: "Put your mother's shit on! A book office is at least one  Magistrate, bragging is not afraid of flashing your tongue!"

    "My lord, what's the use of boasting as a small envoy?" Chen Renjie replied with a wry smile: "Lord Lu has led the Great Zhou army to take down more than six provinces, and they are all provinces with the largest population and the largest number of cities in the world.  There are thousands of vacancies in civil and military positions in this county, and the Yungui elders in Lu Wangye's team at that time were not enough to be assigned, so they could only be appointed as the secretary office of the county magistrate, which is still unlucky."

    Guo Zhuangmou was speechless, Ma Bao blinked his copper bell eyes and remained silent, but the general of the Wu army who first questioned Chen Renjie before said with a smile: "Boy Lu Yifeng, you are getting fatter and fatter. Boy Chen, you know me  Who is it? It doesn¡¯t matter if I don¡¯t know, let me introduce myself, my name is Du Hui, and I was General Xiaoqi, who was the personal army of Prince Pingxi when he started his army, and later the commander of the Great Zhou Navy.¡±

    "It turned out to be General Du, but the envoy has blind eyes. Please forgive me, General." Chen Renjie quickly saluted, and then said respectfully: "General Du, taking this opportunity, the envoy has something to report to you. The son of the general who stayed in Taiwan back then."  Du Guochen, General Du, has followed Chaozhou General Liu Jinzhong and Liu Jinzhong to rebel against the Yanping Palace and surrendered to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Your son.??Follow the commander-in-chief and go to Lord Lu!  Go with the commander-in-chief and go to Lord Lu!  Go with the commander-in-chief and go to Lord Lu!  "

    "Boy Chen!" Ma Bao suddenly pointed at Chen Renjie again, and shouted, "Immediately write back to Lord Lu and ask Lord Lu to send someone to take over my army and territory! And tell him that I want to enter Beijing, to give  Kowtow to the imperial edict of Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou! Tell him to prepare everything for Lao Tzu¡¯s mansion, rewards, land and beauties.  I can spare him, but no one else can spare him! Do you understand?"

    "I understand, I understand." Chen Renjie, who had been frightened by General Ma's arrogance, nodded repeatedly and agreed again and again, but Chen Renjie suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Old General, what about your family members? They  What should I do? They are still in Yunnan, what if"

    "I've thought about it a long time ago." General Ma had a sly smile on his rough face, pointing at Guo Zhuangmou, who was already terrified, and said with a smirk: "Guo Zhuangtu is just such a younger brother. I caught him in my hands.  Are you afraid that Guo Zhuangtu will not obediently return Lao Tzu's family?"

    "The old general is brilliant." Chen Renjie had a flattering face, and at the same time he muttered in his heart, "No wonder he hasn't kicked his legs after 40 years on the battlefield. He really is a slippery old man."

    "Also." General Ma shouted again: "When Prince Lu sent someone to take over Lao Tzu's army and territory, he asked him to bring some food and grass from Nanjing. Lao Tzu's food and grass can only last for a month or so! Damn it!"  If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that there is no food and grass, and you expect to grab a batch of food and grass to survive the spring famine, Wang San, a bastard, would fight you in Yingzhou?!¡±

    ps: Ma Bao¡¯s war-weary mentality is not a fiction of the author. It is recorded in the fifth volume of "Ting Wenlu". In history, after the old traitor Wu died of illness suddenly, Wu Guogui, who was promoted by the Wu army generals as handsome, proposed to give up protecting Yunnan and concentrate his troops eastward to the south of the Yangtze River  Or go straight to Beijing, but Ma Bao was the first to object, and put forward a negative proposition of surrendering Yunnan, with a very obvious war-weariness mentality.  (To be continued.
