Hengjian Mountain is also called Dahong Mountain because it is a horizontal red mountain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This mountain is not as majestic as Mount Tai, nor is it as steep as Mount Hua, its top is flat, and the peaks are connected. Legend has it that in ancient times there were twelve suns in the sky, roasted so that the crops could not grow, Yang Erlang took the mountain to catch the sun, and beat down eleven suns with a long whip, the last sun was lame, hiding behind the mountain, Yang Erlang waved a whip to the mountain, and beat the mountain into three sections, the bottom is the big Hengshan, the upper part is the small Hengshan, and the middle is the Dai Mountain.

Donkey Pai Village is located in the west of Hengjian Mountain, surrounded by mountains and embraces, is the only way for Zhu Yuanzhang to attack Dingyuan. The mountain situation here is peculiar, the strange stones overlap, and there are clear springs gushing out of the cracks in the rocks between the mountains, flowing over the mountains and jumping over the peaks. There is no water in the world and it does not face east, only the mountains and rivers go west. Zhu Yuanzhang and others were surprised by such a strange scene, and saw that the spring water was clear and cool, and couldn't help but drink it.

After drinking the spring water, everyone continued to move forward, and the further they went, the more uneven the mountain road became. There are many wild jungles, you will get lost if you don't pay attention to it, there are more scouts sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, there are signs left along the way, everyone came to an eagle's beak, the line of sight suddenly broadened, only to see a stone castle in front of the front standing in the distance, there are many fields cultivated by the mountains in front of the stone fort, and the green ears of wheat rise and fall in the wind.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded secretly, it seems that the bandits in Donkey Pai Village are not having a good time, and they have to rely on their own crops, and now the wheat is not yet ripe, and it is estimated that there is not much food in the village, so he has deepened his confidence in this negotiation.

When I arrived at the donkey village, I saw that there were high walls built around this hill, and there were tall towers on the east and west sides, and the whole cottage was like a castle with strong walls. There are rows of high eaves in the wall, and there are figures swaying on the left and right, and from time to time the light reflected by the weapons pierces people's eyes.

"What person?" Before Zhu Yuanzhang and the others approached, a warning arrow was shot from the garrison.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his voice and shouted: "I am the brother of Zhu Yuanzhang under the command of Generalissimo Guo, and I am here to recruit the brother of Donkey Zhai." ”

"Zhao'an, isn't this person crazy?" the bandits from Donkey Pai Village laughed. Dozens of people want to recruit their thousands of cottages, which is a big joke.

"In order to show the generalissimo's sincerity, the generalissimo did not send troops up the mountain, but only asked me to persuade you. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think it was wrong, and after the laughter stopped, he continued: "The generalissimo knows that you can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes, so he specially prepared a lot of food and clothing, if you promise to recruit An, these things will belong to you." ”

The bandits were silent, what they begged for was not to die of hunger or cold, and Zhu Yuanzhang's words happened to hit their lifeline. Now the world is getting more and more difficult, it is not easy to rob, the crops are not ripe, and the coarse chaff nest that has been eaten in the village for a long time has been eaten, and some people take the initiative to send food, don't do it in vain. Even if you don't want to accept Zhao'an, at least you have to cheat the grain first.

Qi Xiang was the little leader on the garrison, he saw that everyone was looking at him, expecting him to take an idea, thought about it, and said, "Let them wait first, and I'll go and inform the big boss." ”

Everyone agreed, shouting loudly to order Zhu Yuanzhang to wait in place, while drawing a bow and holding a knife to be on guard at all times.

At this time, there was a lot of noise in the Dragon and Tiger Hall of Donkey Pai Village, and Yang Yunhua was discussing with several other leaders how to prevent Guo Zixing's army from attacking. Some people say that there are several thousand people in the cottage who are afraid that he will do something with 500 people, and they will fight if they want to; some people say that they simply robbed the advance army of food, and when Guo Zixing's army came, the people in the village would hide in the mountains or defect to other villages; some people suggested that it was better to submit to Guo Zixing, and the brothers could be regarded as having a way out......

Qi Xiang bypassed everyone and said directly to Yang Yunhua, "Big boss, Guo Zixing has sent Zhu Yuanzhang to the cottage to recruit An." ”

The hall was silent for a moment, and soon everyone was gossiping again.

"What's the matter, everyone has gone to the cottage, and we don't know yet?"

"the guy!"

"Hurry up and let Granny Xu and them escape from the back mountain!"

"Where can I escape at this time, it's better to surrender......"

"Shut up!" Yang Yunhua scolded and asked Qi Xiang, "How many people are here?"

Qi Xiang replied: "There are less than fifty people, then Zhu Yuanzhang said that if we are willing to accept Zhao'an, he will send us food and clothing." ”

"Big boss, let's go along, you haven't eaten for a few days. The Lord sent a plea at once. The main battle faction did not say anything, food is the most needed thing in the donkey brand village, and this temptation is really difficult to refuse.

Yang Yunhua decided, "Let's see their sincerity first." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang and his subordinates were also discussing the donkey brand village, and Fei Ju said with emotion: "I can't imagine that a small cottage is so strong, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and my army is afraid that it will be difficult to capture." ”

Guo Xing and Guo Ying said in unison: "Otherwise, how could the eldest brother say that Zhao'an is the main thing, and it is right to listen to the eldest brother!" The two of them so obviously flattered Zhu Yuanzhang because Zhu Yuanzhang was passing by his house at the beginning, and the two brothers did not give Zhu Yuanzhang a good face, and now that they are subordinates, they don't hurry up and bow down and become small, and reverse the image in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

"Don't worry, this village will definitely be able to recruit peace. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled confidently, he knew that the big boss of Donkey Pai Village was a woman, women were often soft-hearted, and they would not easily fight for the sake of the old and young women and children, and he would tempt him with food and clothing, and Yang Yunhua would agree nine times out of ten.

After waiting for a while, the gate of the village opened, and a masked woman walked out with a group of big men, and there were many men in the village looking around.

Fei Ju squinted, looked at the visitor carefully, and said strangely: "This veiled woman looks quite familiar, as if she has seen it somewhere?"

When the soldiers heard this, they all expressed their sympathy, but they couldn't remember where they had seen it.

Zhu Yuanzhang snickered, a few hours ago, the female owner of the village was still pretending to be a weak woman in our team, and she didn't change her clothes, of course she would be familiar.

I only heard the woman's voice shouting fiercely: "I am Yang Yunhua, the owner of Donkey Brand Village, you are so bold, so many people dare to go up the mountain, not afraid that they can come and go?"

Zhu Yuanzhang arched his hand and said without humility or arrogance: "Zhu is here to recruit An, not to attack Guizhai." However, if the lord of Yang Zhai does not let us go down the mountain, then we will have to wait for our generalissimo to personally bring troops to visit the lord of Yang Zhai. ”

"You're threatening me?"

"I'm just telling the truth. ”

After staring at each other for a long time, Yang Yunhua asked, "You say that you are under the command of Generalissimo Guo, do you have any evidence?"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately took out the military order in his arms and showed it to Yang Yunhua.

Yang Yunhua looked at the token, and there was a trace of hesitation in her eyes, and she wanted to say it. During this period of time, there are more and more people who take refuge in Donkey Pai Village, and the cottage food has long been unable to make ends meet, Yang Yunhua is haggard, and her round face is thin into a melon seed face, and she can't ignore everyone, maybe accepting Zhao'an is the best way out. It's just that the Yang family has a family motto, and if she doesn't enter the court as an official, if she attaches to Guo Zixing, will it be considered a violation of the family motto?

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended not to see Yang Yunhua's embarrassed expression, and said righteously: "You and the generalissimo are fellow villagers in Dingyuan, and they were both forced to fall into the grass, so the generalissimo can't bear to kill each other." I heard that you are short of food and clothing here, and I am afraid that you will be annexed by the Yuan army, so I specially sent me to contact you. If you are willing to submit to the generalissimo, then we will settle together and restore the Han world, of course, your food and drink will be the responsibility of our army, if you are really unwilling to surrender, I advise you to leave this place as soon as possible, so as not to hurt each other's peace. ”

Yang Yunhua still refused to give a direct answer, only saying that she would give a few more days to think about it.

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a wry manner: "Okay, we are about to join the army, the army can have more than 200,000 people, you had better make a decision before the army arrives, otherwise I won't be able to stop it at that time, and I will bear the consequences!"

The bandits in the cottage were suddenly agitated, and someone couldn't help but ask, "When will the army arrive?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said proudly: "The army is not more than fifty miles away from here, and at most it will not be until tomorrow night." ”

The sound of gasping and frightened was endless, and Yang Yunhua clenched her silver teeth, how could such a team fight against Guo Zixing's army. She discussed with the people around her for a moment in a low voice, and said: "In addition to the young and strong, there are many old and young women and children in the Donkey Village, as long as Marshal Guo can ensure that everyone in my Donkey Village has food and clothing, I will lead the people of the Donkey Village to surrender to you in three days." ”

"Why wait for three days?" Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he didn't want to wait for a moment.

"Let me settle down, and ask you to let the brothers who don't want to belong let them go, and ask you to take care of the remaining brothers who are willing to go. Yang Yunhua decided to leave alone after taking the people from the donkey brand village to join the army, which was not a violation of the family motto, but also allowed the people in the village to be properly arranged.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, "I have a lot of food in my armament, which will definitely keep everyone fed and clothed, even if it is the old and the young, women and children, they will never be treated badly." Since the owner of the village is willing to surrender sincerely, then I will go back and prepare first. Do you think it's okay for me to leave two or three people here to deliver the news?" After speaking, he frowned at Fei Ju, "Brother, if you can get this female village master, I will count you as a great achievement." ”

Fei Ju shuddered, Zhu Yuanzhang is forcing himself to use a beautiful man's trick? But what if the female owner of the village is an ugly monster? Thinking about it, he asked uneasily: "What if this woman is too ugly or if this woman doesn't look down on me?"

"Look at the female village owner's graceful figure, her voice is crisp and pleasant, and her appearance must not be ugly, maybe she is as delicate as the little girl we saved before. Besides, there are so many people under her, you will definitely not suffer if you marry her. Of course, if you don't want this opportunity, I'll let someone else do it, and don't come and cry with me when the time comes. Zhu Yuanzhang flickered Fei Ju, and secretly regretted that Ma Xiuying was by his side, he couldn't act recklessly, and Yang Yunhua, a good cabbage, could only be left to Fei Ju's pig arch.

"If I'm as good-looking as that girl, I'll be developed. Fei Ju was so deceived that he immediately agreed to stay in Donkey Pai Village. He followed Yang Yunhua and asked long and short questions, and was courteous. was inadvertently self-defeating, and almost caused a disaster for Ma Xiuying.
