In the first battle, the vitality of the Han army was greatly damaged, more than half of the casualties were killed, and Chen Youliang's two brothers, Chen Youren and Chen Yougui, and the general Chen Puluo were burned to death. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe Han troops who escaped by luck were all anxious, lost their armor, and their weapons and flags were all mutilated and damaged, so Chen Youliang had to flee from the Kanglang Mountain Lake section in a hurry.

Many generals of the Jiangzuo Army shouted and beat the water dogs and pursued them with victory.

Xu Da couldn't hide Liu Ji, because after Liu Ji ordered the fire attack, he had to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for his next plan, and he would inevitably be exposed when he entered the cabin, so he simply told Liu Ji that Zhu Yuanzhang was dive by an arrow and fled, and he didn't know life or death at present, and he also hoped that the resourceful Liu Ji could come up with a solution, stabilize the morale of the army, and search and rescue Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this time, Liu Ji had already learned the truth from Xu Da's mouth, and knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's whereabouts were unknown, although he was anxious, he still said with a calm face: "Poor Kou Mo chases, besides, Guogong is injured, I will go back to the barracks to rest first, and then let Guogong make a decision." ”

When the soldiers returned to the barracks, Liu Ji immediately gathered all of Zhu Yuanzhang's henchmen and generals under the pretext of discussing countermeasures, and quietly told them the true situation.

When everyone heard this, they were shocked and shouted, "Save the country." ”

Liu Ji said in a deep voice: "Guogong must be saved, but the news must not be leaked, otherwise the army's morale will be unstable, and Chen Youliang will inevitably fight back." In the past few days, we have pretended to rest the army, and quietly sent our most trusted soldiers to secretly search for the whereabouts of the prince. Speaking of this, he gave everyone another reassurance, "Don't panic, everyone, I have looked at the face of Guogong, Guogong will definitely be in danger this time, and he will be able to save the day." ”

The desperate crowd heard this as if they had injected a shot of strength, Liu Ji could be regarded as good at divination, and he said that if Guogong was fine, he would be fine. Everyone did not delay any longer, and hurriedly sent their most trusted soldiers to quietly search for Zhu Yuanzhang's whereabouts along the river.

So where are Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying?

At that time, they were discovered by the Han army in the lake, because the resistance of the water made them unable to be as agile as on land, and the three of them could not avoid under the dense strafing fire of the enemy. If Ma Xiuying hadn't dragged Zhu Yuanzhang and Xunying to the bottom of the water in time, I am afraid that they would have been shot into hedgehogs, but the three of them were still injured together.

At the critical moment, Sunshadow pushes them away and attracts firepower by himself. However, Zhu Yuanzhang was unable to swim with an arrow in his leg, and Ma Xiuying was shot in the waist by an arrow, and the two were exhausted, so Ma Xiuying had to drag Zhu Yuanzhang to float down the river, paddling to the shore while swimming.

Fortunately, Chang Yuchun and others rebelled against Zhang Dingbian and caused chaos in the Han army, and the Han soldiers had no time to take care of others, so Ma Xiuying and Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the chaos to find an opportunity to go ashore. However, the terrain was remote, and the two had never been here, so they pulled out their arrows and found a way to escape, but they were getting farther and farther away from the camp. After finding a place where there were people, the two disguised themselves as a fleeing couple (and indeed fleeing) inquired, and actually ran to Boyang County, Chen Youliang's jurisdiction.

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and frightened, and immediately launched a high fever and talked nonsense.

Ma Xiuying's whole body was in pain, as if she was about to break, but she still mustered up her spirit and helped Zhu Yuanzhang to a broken temple.

It just so happened that two beggars in the temple threw the rotten vegetable leaves, leftovers, and water they had picked up into a broken jar to boil, and the steaming fragrance wafted everywhere.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was groggy and dazed, smelled the smell and kept shouting that he was hungry.

Ma Xiuying asked the two beggars to give them a little food.

When the beggar saw that their faces were pale, dirty, and wet, and that the man was not very sick, he took pity on them and gave them a bowl of food.

Ma Xiuying poured the food into Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also hungry, gobbling it up, swallowing it almost without chewing, and after eating, he wanted it again, and after a while, a bowl of food was eaten clean by him. He ate the hot food, his body suddenly warmed up, gradually regained his spirit, and opened his mouth to ask, "What is this food, so delicious, I have never eaten it before." ”

Ma Xiuying swallowed her saliva, held back the pain and hunger and coaxed: "This is pearl jade white jade soup." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang is a prince of the country, and his diet is all exquisite, if he is told that this is leftovers, he is afraid that he will be annoyed and angry, in order not to affect his mood, Ma Xiuying told a white lie.

The two beggars smacked their lips when they heard this, they had eaten the leftovers of most of their lives, and they didn't know that there was such a nice name. One of the square-faced beggars said, "Man, your daughter-in-law gave you food, and she didn't have to eat it herself." ”

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang realize that there were outsiders next to him, and struggled to stand up, but the injury on his leg made him unable to stand at all.

Ma Xiuying hurriedly helped him sit down and comforted: "Don't worry, we will have a way." ”

Another long-faced beggar said, "Man, you are not ordinary people, are yours, this wound is not like an ordinary wound? ”

Ma Xiuying saw that the beggars were willing to help them, and thought that they were also good people, so she said: "My husband and I originally went to relatives from our hometown, but who knew that on the way, we encountered Jiang Zuo's army and the Han army fighting. ”

"Poor, this war, that war, there is no way for our people to live. "The beggar can't help but complain, and can only complain, in the era of war and chaos, what else can be done but complain.

"If the two eldest brothers feel that there is no way to live, they might as well go to Yugan with us to join their relatives, my husband's eldest nephew is a big local family and has always respected us. Today, you two have helped us husband and wife, and I want him to reward you twice and thank you heavily. ”

Ma Xiuying had already learned from Zhu Men that Zhu Wen was planning to stop Chen Youliang from escaping, and was leading his army to be stationed in Yugan County. At this time, if she and Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to return to Hukou, they had to cross Chen Youliang's battle line first, and almost everyone in the Han army had seen Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait, so it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be recognized, and this plan obviously did not work. She thought of simply going the opposite way and arriving at Yugan first, Chen Youliang's army was still fighting in Kanglang Mountain, and the journey from Boyang to Yugan should be relatively safe.

However, they were injured, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't walk on her legs, and she no longer had the strength to carry Zhu Yuanzhang on her back, so she thought of the two beggars in front of her, if these two beggars were willing to help them, things would be easier.

Hearing that there was a blessing, the eyes of the two beggars lit up, but when they saw Ma Xiuying and Zhu Yuanzhang's shaky appearance, they shook their heads violently, "Your husband and wife are like this, how can you go to Yu Gan?"

"If the two eldest brothers trust me, they can hire a carriage for me first, and then pay for the carriage when I get to Yugan|My nephew. Ma Xiuying was struggling to speak, she felt that she was about to lose it, so she hurriedly leaned on Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder and whispered intermittently, "Wen Zheng is doing it...... Let's go to him first...... and then ...... with the army" Before he finished speaking, the whole person passed out.

Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly taken aback, and didn't have time to think about how Ma Xiuying knew the news that Zhu Wen was doing Yugan, so he hurriedly hugged her and pulled off a piece of jade pendant from his waist, "The two eldest brothers helped me hire a carriage, I just want to be able to find my nephew with my wife smoothly, and the rest of the money is yours." ”

The square-faced beggar took the jade pendant and looked at it, "Brother, this thing is a good thing, it seems that they are not lying, and their family background is estimated to be good, should we help them?"

I don't know if the long-faced beggar was moved by Yu Pei and Ma Xiuying's promise or really sympathized with the couple, he thought for a while and said: "Then go, anyway, I don't want to stay in this Boyang City for a long time, maybe the Han army and Jiang Zuojun will come here one day, it's better to leave early." But can you hold it up? Why don't you find a man first? ”

"No need, thank you two big brothers, if you have the conditions to help me buy some gold sore medicine, we will rush to Yugan. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare to go into the city to find a doctor for treatment, he and Ma Xiuying were hit by an arrow, and if they were stabbed out by the doctor, it would be bad to attract the attention of the Han army. Taking advantage of this time, Chen Youliang was not aware of the news of his disappearance, so he still rushed to Yugan first to see Zhu Wenzheng in order to be safe.
