After Zhu Gaoxu wrote the book of persuading surrender, he still did not let go of this matter. He spent almost the whole day thinking about Zhang Fu.

Unexpectedly, Liu Sheng actually sent someone! This was someone Zhu Gaoxu had never expected.

Chen Dahui sent the letter into the study room and stood by the side. Zhu Gaoxu did not say a word and read Liu Sheng's letter first. Then he turned the letter to the left, facing the bright window, and carefully observed the seal behind the letter in the sun.

It was because Zhu Gaoxu was not familiar with Liu Sheng's handwriting and could not distinguish between true and false, so the seal on it had an effect at this time.

Zhu Gaoxu was not very familiar with Liu Sheng. During the "Jingnan Battle", Liu Sheng did fight in the Jingnan Army, but his military position was not high; at that time, Zhu Gaoxu did not know him.

It was not until the "Battle of Crime" came to the decisive battle in Huguang that Liu Sheng gradually entered Zhu Gaoxu's sight; of course, the reason was that Liu Sheng had a large number of official troops in his hands.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu was surprised to receive a secret letter from Liu Sheng...

Liu Sheng's words were very earnest. The letter stated that he had always been very considerate of firearms and cannons and had been committed to it for many years. In the battle of Huguang, the King of Han used cannons with great excellence, which made him admire him and wished he could serve his troops immediately!

So shortly after the victory and defeat in the Battle of Huguang, Liu Sheng decided to surrender. He had already sent the military as the confidant of the general and quietly returned to Beijing to start to handle the settlement of the Liu family's family's family.

The Liu family was a low-level military general, with a small family, and a small family. The family had a small family. Liu Sheng had a friend in the capital who had been together for many years, but was not a person in the officialdom. He then entrusted his family to his friends and asked him to find an opportunity. He tried to take his family out of the capital and hide for a while; and then immediately informed Liu Sheng with a fast horse!

Liu Sheng looked at the situation again, either led his troops to the city or fled to join him.

At this time, the Jinyiwei of the capital was mostly monitoring important generals such as Zhang Fu, Chen Xuan and He Fu; Liu Sheng had never been suspected, and there were fewer eyes and ears in his mansion. Therefore, his wife and children had a great chance of escaping.

Liu Sheng's meaning in the secret letter suggested that the King of Han would go to the Changsha City as soon as possible; only after the King of Han's army was at the city would he be able to lead his troops to surrender! He would contribute to Changsha City and tens of thousands of soldiers under his command to make up for his merits.

Zhu Gaoxu put down the letter in his hand and thought to himself: These generals are really good at being honest, unlike civil officials who still care about their reputations. When Zhu Gaoxu saw Chen Dahui still beside him, he turned around and said, "General Chen also took a look."

Chen Dahui bowed his fists and picked up the letter paper to read it.

Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his rough palm and rubbed his broad forehead for a while. After a while, he spoke: "I judge that this letter should not be fake. I don't know Liu Sheng's words, and the printed prints on it are difficult to forge it for a while."

He paused for a moment and turned around and said, "Send someone to try to contact Liu Sheng... Ask brothers from Beisi to be careful. In more than a year, dozens of us have been caught! The Pseudo-Dao Jinyiwei had known that there was this yamen in the Han Palace."

Chen Dahui clasped his fists and said, "I will get the order!" After that, he left the study.

Zhu Gaoxu was still standing in the room thinking. It was of course a good thing for Liu Sheng to surrender, but it was far from reaching the point that made him happy.

What Zhu Gaoxu wanted most was not Changsha City, but the main force of the navy!

Without the navy, even if Changsha City is now open, the Han Wangjun will be allowed to enter; the Han Wangjun cannot cross the river and will have to travel a long distance to get to the city.

Just then, a voice outside the door said, "Prince..."

Zhu Gaoxu turned around and saw the eunuch Cao Fu! It was Wang Gui's godson, the fat white eunuch, but Cao Fu's face was now tanned and very dirty.

"Cao Fu, you are back." Zhu Gaoxu was slightly happy and said, "Come in!"

Cao Fu walked in and said aggrievedly: "I was almost caught by the inspector on the road several times, and finally saw the prince."

Zhu Gaoxu asked Cao Fu to sit down and explain in detail.

Cao Fu did not talk about his experience on the road, and first said: "I tried every possible way to persuade Huang Yan, the eunuch around King Zhao; but King Zhao did not agree to raise an army. Huang Yan hoped that the prince would send elite troops to Peiping to help King Zhao raise an army..."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he felt a little amused and laughed.

This third brother, who wasted his father's favor and often took him to war, but he didn't learn anything about managing the army. The King of Zhao's guards had the largest number of troops among all the vassal kings, and the number was about 20,000 people. The conditions for raising a military force were not bad. After all, Zhu Di trusted his son better than his brothers.

Cao Fu knelt down and said, "I have not fulfilled the prince's trust, and I have not even seen the face of King Zhao twice. Please punish the prince!"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Get up. It doesn't matter whether Gao Sui raises his troops or not."

Cao Fu was stunned for a moment and stood up.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at him and said, "You are loyal and commendable. You will go and rest for two days first, and then be in charge of my diet and daily life at the headquarters of the Central Army."

Cao Fu hurriedly said, "I obey the order!"

...

Changsha Prefecture, about 400 miles north of Hengzhou, is located on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River.

Although the rebels were on the other side of the Xiang River, it was difficult for their army to cross the Xiang River nearby.

The scouts who took a boat to the west bank at night found out that the rebels were marching south; they were probably planning to detour from the south. Such an advance route would be at least a thousand miles from the west bank of the Xiangjiang River to the city of Changsha!

Therefore, there is no danger in Changsha City for at least one month. There are countless officials and soldiers in the city, and there are a lot of goods entering and leaving every day. At present, the four cities have not closed down and martial law, but more soldiers guarding the gate have been sent.

The fleeing officials and soldiers after the Baoqing Mansion War have gradually returned to order recently. The calm Changsha City will make people feel illusioned, as if they were not threatened by hundreds of thousands of rebels...

But at this time, Zhang Fu's heart was not calm!

He encountered a very unexpected thing: when he met a spy who lied to the Zhang family, he actually got a letter, which was sealed by King Zhu Gaoxu, the Han Dynasty!

Zhang Fu hesitated for a while, walked into a study room, and gently bolted the door that was covered. Then he checked the letter and tore open the envelope.

He was not afraid of those Jinyiwei who were exposed, and they had to obey the general of Pinghan. What he was worried about was the secret spies from the various yamen offices of the court that were mixed in the central army headquarters. Not only were there people from Jinyiwei, but even the Ministry of War and other yamen also used secret spies.

The reports of these people did not pass through the headquarters of the Central Army, but were directly sent to the courts in secret! Zhang Fu was afraid that he would not be able to explain clearly.

He ordered his confidant to settle the spy at the headquarters of the Central Army and watch it day and night. At this time, he had not yet determined how to deal with the spy, so he just wanted to see what the King of Han said in the letter.

When Zhang Fu pulled out a few pieces of letter paper, he realized his subtle shake... If it were a month ago, he encountered such a thing, he would probably not even open the paint seal, so he would immediately hand over the secret letter and the spy to the Jinyiwei!

But now his approach is to close the door, stay here alone, and pull out the letter paper.

Only at this moment, Zhang Fu couldn't help but sigh softly...

But after a moment, the expression on Zhang Fu's face changed slightly, and soon there was a hint of sneer, thinking to himself: Now that the King of Han is still writing a letter, I am just curious, wanting to see what tricks he has!

The illusion that he had in his heart was soon extinguished! Because he suddenly remembered what he had done to the Han Palace.

Zhang Fu captured Qian Xun, the chief secretary of the Han King, and led troops to "put down the rebellion" many times. Later, he even became the general of the Han Dynasty. He had a marriage with the current emperor, his daughter was a concubine, and his grandson was a prince... He was simply the mortal enemy of the Han Palace!

It’s already reached such a situation. Can the King of Han let him go? Zhang Fuxin said: I can’t believe every word the King of Han said!

Zhang Fu is also a person who often fools others and will never be deceived so easily; not to mention that many people in the court say that the Han King is cunning and famous, he knows it in his heart.

Zhang Fu thought for a while, took a breath, and finally unfolded the letter paper and looked at it.

When he read the first page, his thoughts changed slightly...

Zhang Fu suddenly recalled the past, which was when he dealt with the King of Han during the Battle of Annan Kingdom.

At that time, the Ming army defeated the main force of the Annan army and captured Duobang City. The Han King promised to give the Dongdu of Annan to Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu didn't believe it at first because he learned that the Han King suddenly led the cavalry and quickly rushed to the vicinity of the Dongdu Shenglong City!

Unexpectedly, the King of Han did not mobilize his troops to attack Shenglong City with empty troops. The King of Han mobilized a large army to find the queen who was famous outside.

That incident left a deep impression on Zhang Fu. In addition to thinking that the King of Han was indeed good, he was also surprised by the King of Han's practice of keeping his promises. After all, it was a great achievement that could be widely publicized in the court's newspapers, and they were just talking about it verbally in advance.

Zhang Fu thought for a while... Except for those things that were heard, when he was actually dealing with the King of Han himself, the King of Han had never done anything that was not counting.

His brows were frowning, and the vertical lines between his eyebrows were obvious. He thought to himself: The King of Han kept his promises in the past, but it may not always be like this! Besides, will the promises at this time really work in the future?

Zhang Fu turned a page and continued to read the content of Zhu Gaoxu's letter. His mood became more and more complicated, and then he looked carefully three times.

Of course, Zhang Fu was full of doubts about Zhu Gaoxu's promise! But somehow, he was surprised and still could not easily abandon this letter of persuasion.

He walked a few steps in the study room, glanced at the door, quickly put the letter paper and envelopes into his arms, then walked behind the door and opened the wooden door first. But he did not go out, and then paced back and forth in the open study room.
