"Oh, brother Bowen, it's been a long time."

"Brother Shan, you are fine."

"Oh my, brother Bowen, these days since you left have been like years for me."

"There are so many things going on here and there, I'm so busy that I'm exhausted."

"To tell you the truth, sometimes I even dream about it, it would be great if Liu Bowen was here."

"He must have done his best to eliminate dangers and solve problems, save the building from collapse, and return to the sky..."

As soon as Li Shanchang met Liu Bowen, he started to flatter Liu Bowen in a series, which made Liu Bowen feel very uncomfortable.

"Brother Shan, there is no need for us to be at odds with each other."

"When I was forced out of the Marshal's Mansion by those generals, I saw your face clearly."

"Don't act like this in front of me, Liu Bowen."

"I'll be blunt. You should understand after I leave, right? How will those generals treat you after I'm gone? Haha, I'm afraid it won't be any better."

"Since we serve the same master, you and I should understand that now is not the time for internal fighting."

"There are too many generals and military people in the Marshal's house, but there are only two of you and me as literati."

"The dirty past has been wiped out. Now, the most important thing for you and me is to work together to help you rise to power."

"Only in this way can the two of us live easily."

"You know all my faults. I am good at words but short on deeds."

"Sit down and talk, I can do that."

"But if I have to deal with all kinds of things day by day, and deal with the complicated military and civil affairs, I can't do it."

"And this is what you are best at."

"It is also the most important thing in the Marshal's Mansion."

"For this reason alone, I will never get past you."

"So, your position as the first assistant next to the commander is untouchable and cannot be replaced by anyone."

Li Shanchang looked stunned on the spot. This was the first time he had seen Liu Bowen like this. The arrogance that could be seen all over his body before had completely disappeared, and he could actually say such words.

Liu Bowen is no longer as annoying as he used to be.

But it's even scarier than before!

"Okay, okay, that's very well said... I didn't expect Brother Bowen to have such a clear understanding. I'm really impressed."

"Brother Bowen, I feel inferior to you when it comes to your character and your good mind."

"Sir, I would like to apologize. In the past, I judged a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

After Li Shanchang finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen also bowed his hands and returned the greeting.

"Brother Shan, from now on, Bowen will regard Brother Shan as his superior, willing to live below him, work together with one heart and one mind, and work together for great causes!"

"Brother Shan, actually, I am just like you, we both have a common enemy!"

Li Shanchang was stunned when he heard this.

"Brother Bowen, what do you say? The common enemy? Who is it? Yuan Ting?"

Liu Bowen's face was seen as serious as ever.

"No, even if it is Yuan Ting, it is only a minor problem. Our common enemy is Wang Ming!"

"Ah? This, this..."

"Brother Bowen, how can you say this? You must know that Wang Ming invited you back!"

Liu Bowen leaned into Li Shanchang's ear and spoke carefully.

After hearing this, Li Shanchang's expression changed.

"I knew that Wang Ming had a monster heart, but I didn't expect that he would still talk like this in front of Bowen. It's disrespectful to the sages! It's disrespectful to the superiors!"

"This is really unreasonable. I must do it in front of the superior..."

Liu Bowen sighed loudly.

"No, no, brother Shan, don't be anxious yet. Although Wang Ming is a monster, he does have magical methods. The higher-ups need him, the rebels need him, and we need him too."

"We have to wait until someone in power ascends to the throne of great treasure in the future, and then we will work together to drive this monster away."

"Okay, Bowen, I understand."

…

On this day, in the Marshal's mansion.

Li Shanchang is conducting a "daily lecture" for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Today’s daily lecture is about the history of Han Dynasty given by Li Shanchang to Zhu Yuanzhang.

At the end of the lecture, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked casually after hearing the life and death of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty.

"Sir, how did the two Han emperors compare with each other in this competition?"

Li Shanchang smiled when he heard this. He had guessed that the superior would ask this question. Fortunately, he had already made a record.

"Well, Han Xin has one of the most wonderful words."

"He said that the king of Han was not good at generalship, but he was good at generalship."

"That is to say, although Liu Bang is not good at commanding troops, he is good at controlling generals."

"The King of Han himself was not good at fighting. It can even be said that he was defeated and defeated repeatedly."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened with rapt attention, standing behind Li Shanchang and listening with a tea bowl.

"But he knows best who can fight best and who he can use to fight for himself."

"Master, the way to control a general is the way to be a king..."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he spoke proudly.

"Not only can we lead troops to fight, we can also control generals."

"Compared from this aspect, are we stronger than Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty?"

After Li Shanchang heard this, of course he could only nod his head.

"Yes, yes."

"Hahaha……"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The monarch and his ministers looked at each other and smiled, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled proudly, and Li Shanchang smiled flatteringly and in agreement.

"Although, we also appreciate a general who can match ten with one."

"However, the final victory should still belong to the one who equals ten to one."

"Yes, yes."

“To win more with less is only done occasionally.”

"A large number of soldiers and a broad general are the key to final victory."

"In Wang Ming's words, this is the difference between tactical victory and strategic victory."

"Haha, we want tactical victory, but we also want strategic victory!"

Li Shanchang's face darkened when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words about Wang Ming again.

This demon used evil words to confuse the superior...

However, these two words, tactical victory and strategic victory, are indeed good words.

The secret of the art of war is right in the heart, and the subtle meaning is great. The subtle meaning is great!

This demon is indeed no ordinary demon.

He is a rare stranger throughout the ages, comparable to the ghost-like alien monster of the Spring and Autumn Period!

He is a great demon!

"Report!!!"

Suddenly, outside the gate of the Commander's Mansion, a general reported in a hurry.

"Commander! General Hongdu sent his horse to report urgently."

"Chen Youliang personally led the army to march eastward. At this moment, the troops have arrived at Poyang Lake!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked solemn and asked calmly.

"How many troops and horses?"
