Chapter 642 Departure, Winning Over!
Follow the pen of Mu Jin Bai Yi and embark on an adventure in "I Summon Famous Generals of All History in Another World".
"General Qin, you misunderstand. Yuanzhang just wanted to remind you that you should think carefully about the consequences before making a decision."
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already mentally prepared, simply chuckled and said.
After saying that, he picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and acted as if the argument had nothing to do with him.
However, his eyes were secretly observing everyone inside the tent, plotting how to use this dispute to further weaken the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou and then bring them under his control.
His initial target was not the three brave but reckless demons of Lion Camel Ridge, but the three kings of the Mech Beast Clan who were relatively capable of fighting and commanding troops!
Among these three, even Kuang Yexing, who is the only one with relatively slow intelligence, possesses remarkable military command skills.
Compared to the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge who only possessed brute force, they were undoubtedly more to Zhu Yuanzhang's liking.
After the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge left in anger, the atmosphere inside the tent did not ease; instead, it fell into a subtle silence.
After a brief moment of dimming, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes quickly regained their usual shrewdness. He gently put down his teacup, making a soft but clear sound that instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Gentlemen, although General Qin and his party's decision is regrettable, the great cause of the Yellow Turban Army cannot be hindered because of this."
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but clearly echoing throughout the tent.
As he finished speaking, he deliberately fixed his gaze on Meng Huwang, Bao Longsheng, and Kuang Yexing, his eyes revealing a hint of barely perceptible expectation and eagerness.
"In particular, General Meng, General Kuang, and General Bao, as the backbone of the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou, have always been highly respected by Yuanzhang for their bravery and wisdom."
Upon hearing this, Meng Huwang frowned slightly, seemingly reserved about Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden show of goodwill, but out of politeness, he reluctantly nodded.
Bao Longsheng was more direct. He snorted, his eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and wariness, clearly taking a cautious approach to Zhu Yuanzhang's attempts to win him over.
"General Zhu, you flatter us. As members of the Yellow Turban Army, we will do our utmost and live up to our mission."
Kuang Yexing, despite the mixed feelings in his heart, still tried his best to maintain a calm attitude and gently cupped his hands, saying:
"General Kuang is right. However, Yuanzhang has something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."
Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, seemingly quite satisfied with Kuang Yexing's answer, and continued.
Kuang Yexing was slightly taken aback, then gestured for Zhu Yuanzhang to continue.
"Now that our Yellow Turban Army is plagued by internal strife and external pressures, it is precisely the time when we need to work together."
"Yuanzhang believed that only by joining forces with true strongmen could they gain a foothold in this chaotic world."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhang Liang, whose face was pale, but seemed to ignore him and spoke directly.
His words clearly conveyed an intention to win her over, yet remained tactful.
Meng Huwang and Bao Longsheng exchanged a glance, both seeing complex emotions in each other's eyes.
Their situation was similar to that of the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge, but they were better off because they each had a large faction behind them.
Similar to the Meng family of Confucianism, one of the Hundred Schools of Thought that followed Meng Huwang, although Meng Huwang himself came from the Meng family.
However, Confucianism did not force Meng Huwang to choose which powerful ruler to serve.
We will only give them a suggestion; the specific decision-making process is up to Meng Huwang and his group.
Therefore, compared to the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge, Meng Huwang and Bao Longsheng actually had a high degree of autonomy.
As for Kuang Yexing, needless to say, he was just like Qiao Shefei and the other members of the Zi Ming team. He was a fierce general personally discovered by Meng Zhang from among the military strategists and brought by his side.
"Yuanzhang has always wished to work with the three generals on important matters. As for those unnecessary misunderstandings and disputes, let them go with the wind."
Upon seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly excited, but he maintained a calm demeanor on the surface and continued speaking.
After he finished speaking, the tent fell silent once again.
Meng Huwang, Bao Longsheng, and Kuang Yexing looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.
"We appreciate General Zhu's sincerity, but please allow us some time to consider it."
"As for now, as long as it is for the great cause of the Yellow Turban Army, we are willing to join hands with General Zhu."
Finally, Kuang Yexing broke the silence. He took a deep breath and cupped his hands in greeting.
The situation inside the main tent today has been full of twists and turns, and his mind is starting to scramble.
He was a bit confused. He had to go back and let Commander Meng decide for himself whether to let him continue his undercover work or to let him return directly to the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou.
Upon seeing this, Meng Huwang and Bao Longsheng also expressed their views, although they still held back in their words, their attitudes had clearly softened.
Zhang Liang, standing to the side, looked even more displeased; these people showed absolutely no concern for him whatsoever in their words.
This made him realize very quickly that as the Yellow Turban Army's strategy was gradually completed, this group no longer needed to put forward the three Zhang brothers as nominal leaders.
Instead, they split up, with the Yellow Turban armies in different war zones fighting independently and without affecting each other.
Under these circumstances, Zhang Liang's position as the nominal leader of the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou was already precarious, entirely dependent on the mood and expression of Meng Huwang and his associates.
Therefore, faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's forceful attempts to win him over and the statements of the three kings of the mechanical beast tribe, he was helpless for a time and could only silently accept this reality.
After a brief period of tension, the atmosphere inside the tent gradually eased.
...
Meanwhile, Su Ye, who was peacefully organizing the martial arts tournament in Tianheng Prefecture, also received an important visitor.
At this moment, Meng Wei walked into Su Ye's huge mansion in Tianheng Prefecture with a smile on her face.
Sunlight filters through the upturned eaves of Tianheng Mansion, casting dappled patterns on the bluestone slabs and adding a touch of gentleness to this solemn and grand mansion.
Inside the mansion, a sudden family "storm" is quietly brewing.
Su Ye, the young ruler of the three states, was currently standing in his meticulously arranged study, discussing the details of the conference with several important ministers, including Gao Jiong and Di Renjie.
However, this tranquility was soon broken by a series of hurried footsteps.
"Ye'er, you're so busy! You didn't even greet your mother when she came."
Before seeing the person, one could hear their voice; a gentle yet authoritative voice came from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Wei, the current Princess Yun, Su Ye's mother, and the eldest daughter of the Confucian Meng family, slowly stepped into the study.
She was dressed in a magnificent scholar's robe, her steps were light, and she had a gentle smile on her face, but there was a hint of reproach in her eyes.
