"Fifth brother, is it tight?"

"Tighten it up!"

The pro-soldier was now behind Zhu Wu, and he pulled the belt of the cuirass tightly, and then tied a knot to fix it.

Erhu, Li Sai, Zhu 13 and other old brothers who went out with the army held iron helmets and stood affectionately and solemnly in front of the hall. Only Xi Laodao, who was in charge of the artillery, took out a silver wine jug from time to time and took a sip.

"Alright, Fifth Brother!"

The last button on the iron armor was fastened, and Zhu Wu stood up, and the armor leaves on his body rattled.

Zhu Wu smiled, "Are you all ready?" Not wanting the atmosphere to be too heavy, he pretended to laugh lightly.

"Just wait for the fifth brother to give the order!" Erhu grinned.

Zhu Wu nodded, stretched out his hand and called someone over.

"Fifth brother!"

The person who came was Zhu Jinwei, the first batch of refugees who entered the camp, and at this time he was already a deputy thousand households in the Dingyuan army.

This kid looks at Fu'er, usually always quietly, not arguing. In fact, he is a person who is soft on the outside and violent on the inside, and he never draws a knife when he is in a hurry, even with his brothers.

Either you don't have a hurry, or you will die if you are in a hurry.

"Dingyuan will be handed over to you, you take care of your home!" This time to fight Hezhou, Zhu Wu brought all the soldiers and horses that could be mobilized under his command, and only left 800 people for Zhu Jinwei to cooperate with Li Shanchang to defend the city.

Zhu Jinwei thumped his chest, "Don't worry, fifth brother." People are at home in ........."

"Stop, don't talk about the bad luck." Zhu Wu patted him on the shoulder, "If something really happens, life is the most important." If there is no city, our brothers will fight again, and I will be left alone without my life, and I will use the ball! In my heart, you are more important than the city. ”

Everyone grinned, and Zhu Jinwei slammed his chest again, and what he thought in his heart was self-evident.

"Brothers!" Zhu Wu looked around and hugged the iron helmet in the crook of his arm, "This attack on Hezhou is the first tough battle for our brothers. This battle is related to the future of our Dingyuan Army. Lay down and the state, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly. Lay down and the state, we will not go hungry for a few years. Lay down Hezhou, let's divide the gold, lay down Hezhou, Lao Tzu will give one of you a wife! ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and their eyes burned.

"The Guo family brothers, as well as the Feng family brothers, are already waiting in the city, and when the time comes, we should work together inside and outside."

As he spoke, Zhu Wu's eyes gradually became serious, "Tell the brothers that everyone in Hezhou will be rewarded, and Lao Tzu will not treat them badly." However, Lao Tzu is repeating military law to you here. Rape captive, beheaded! Whoever kills the people, behead! Steal the smuggler, slash!

If you don't meet the enemy, cut it! One person retreats and kills one tithe, one tithe retreats and kills one team, one team retreats, and all the less than 1,000 households are killed! Lao Tzu's words, do you hear clearly! ”

"Whoa!"

Everyone agreed, and Zhu Wu nodded, "Second Tiger, give the order to go!" ”

Erhu put on his iron helmet, turned around and walked to the door, pulled out his waist knife with a brush, and shouted hoarsely, "Dingyuan Army, go!" ”

On the second floor of the county office, Guo Tianxu looked at the barracks, and countless soldiers came out with neat faces under the guidance of torches.

First the people and then the cattle pulled the carts, and the horse team of 100 people, except for the rumbling footsteps and the sound of burning torches in the dark night, there was no noise at all, and there was no imaginary scene of people neighing and horses.

"Zhu Wu's soldiers are so good!"

Guo Tianxu is a straw bag, but he is also an insightful straw bag. Compared with Zhu Wu's soldiers, the Haozhou red scarves are a group of rabble.

Looking, watching, he couldn't help but think crankily in his heart. I don't know how many people listened to Zhu Wu when these soldiers couldn't defeat Hezhou, and when they found that their old camp was lost.

When the time comes, he will hook his fingers casually, and these strong soldiers will belong to Guo Gongzi's men.

Thinking of this, Guo Tianxu laughed silently.

………

The light on the desk was too dim, Zhu Chongba jumped twice with chopsticks, and the flames became bigger.

He has no hobbies, he doesn't like to drink and gamble, and he doesn't like women to listen to plays, so he stays in the camp every day to train recruits.

Now this military camp was used by Zhu Wu in Haozhou in the past, and the left army returned to the army after leaving. During the day, Zhu Chongba watched the soldiers practice, and at night he read in his room with a lamp.

I read the art of war books of famous generals of the past dynasties, and there are often words in these military books that he doesn't understand, and he can't understand how to think about it at first. Later, when I asked the Daoyan monks who often came to him, I didn't know much about it.

This Daoyan monk is also strange, his master is in Dingyuan, but he has to stay in Haozhou, and he still lives in the original room of the original military camp.

Bang! There was a knock on the door.

Zhu Chongba looked up from the book and smiled, "Guangxiao?" Come on in! ”

Immediately, the bald-headed Daoyan monk came in with a smile, "Brother Chong is studying again?" ”

"We don't understand this elm pimple head, I can't read it." Zhu Chongba motioned for Dao Yan to sit down, and said with a smile, "I've been watching it for an hour, and I can't remember the five dangers!" ”

Dao Yan sat down cross-legged and said, "Brother Chong, are you in a hurry?" ”

Zhu Chongba's smile was paused, this monk is not very old, but those eyes can see people's hearts clearly, and there are always amazing words.

At that moment, he asked with a smile, "Do you know what we are anxious about?" ”

"Sit in the city of sorrow!" Dao Yan spit out four words, and then said, "Since he defeated the official army, Guo Dashuai has begun to live in eight seats, and he looks like an official master. The so-called upward and downward effect, he did this, how good were the people below, they all lived in the house and robbed a few little wives. Haozhou seems to be stable, but in fact, the future is bleak and has lost its sharpness. If the official army attacks again, it would be good to be able to hold the city. ”（1）

Zhu Chongba shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I've only eaten a full meal for a few days, and I forgot why I rebelled!" It's a pity that these poor men who work hard have no hope in the end. But what can we do, we can't say that we can't move the handsome, and we can't control others. ”

Dao Yan said with a smile, "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain!" ”

"You can pull it down, don't clean these clouds and mountains and fog covers, you can just say what our brothers have to say, you don't know, we are a rectum." Zhu Chongba said with a smile.

"You can learn from Zhu Wu'a!"

"Little Five?" Zhu Chongba was puzzled.

"Brother Chong, how are the soldiers of the right army training?" Dao Yan changed the topic again.

"Compared with Xiao Wu's old brothers, it's still worse, after all, when Xiao Wu was training at the beginning, he was supported by a big handsome." Zhu Chongba said with a smile, "But compared with other armies in Haozhou, if we recognize the second in military appearance and military discipline, no one dares to recognize the first." ”

"Soldiers are for fighting, not for watching." Dao Yan smiled, "If you don't see blood, you will never become a good soldier." General Zhu Wu's soldiers are good, in addition to training, there is also fighting! Why don't you learn from him, there are so many states and counties in the north of Haozhou......"

"We get it!" Zhu Chongba is nothing, "Instead of staying in this Ganzhou City and watching these rotten things every day, it is better not to go out and open up a new world." It's a good idea, but .........."

Zhu Chongba scratched his head and continued, "We are different from Xiao Wu, he just arrived at the point. The soldiers and horses under our command are all under the control of the marshal, and there is no military order from the marshal. Even if you transfer a team of 100, it is a capital offense! ”

Dao Yan smiled again, "I heard that Guo Gongzi has been studying military affairs recently? ”

Zhu Chongba was anxious, "Yao Guangxiao, let's tell you, if you say this kind of crooked thing again, we will beat you." Say whatever you want! ”

"Guo Gongzi is preparing to share the worries of the marshal and take charge of the soldiers and horses, right?" Dao Yan continued, "But everyone is rolling out of the pile of dead people, he has no military achievements and no descendants of his own soldiers and horses, who will obey him?"

You want to fight out, he wants to establish prestige and meritorious service, why don't these two things merge into one? You go and pry him and let him grind the handsome. When Lao Tzu is the son of the world, how can there be anyone who doesn't love his son, and the handsome man wishes that his son would attack the city and plunder the land to give him a long face. He has commanders, you have soldiers, isn't it a matter of course for you to be anxious in your heart! ”

"That's right!" Zhu Chongba slapped his thigh, "Why do you have a long head, why are you so good?" In other words, people still have to read, and only after reading books can they have foresight. ”

As he spoke, he stood up in a hurry. "Let's go find him now!"

"Don't go, Guo Gongzi is going to Dingyuan!" Dao Yan said with a smile.

"What is he doing in Dingyuan?" Zhu Chongba thought about it, "It's bad, he's going to find trouble with Xiao Wu!" ”

"Huh!" Dao Yan smiled, "Brother Chong, let's make a bet!" ”

"What's the bet?"

Dao Yan said, "If Guo Gongzi can find General Zhu Wu's trouble, I will wash your clothes for a month." ”

"If he eats deflated at Xiao Wu, let's wash you for a month?"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Dao Yan hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't dare to let you wash your clothes, what I mean is that if he is deflated by General Zhu Wu, you will let me be your military advisor in the future!" ”

"When you say that, I think of something, and I haven't asked you all this time!" Zhu Chongba touched his chin, "It stands to reason that you are a member of Xiao Wu, why do you have to rely on us?" ”

Dao Yan God is mysterious, "The Buddha said, don't say. ”

………

In the Shuaifu, Guo Zixing was losing his temper.

"Who told him to go to Dingyuan? What is he doing in Dingyuan? Make a mess for Little Five? It's such a lofty thing! ”

Zhang Tianyou sat under the head of the marshal, and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, just go, it's not a big deal, since he studies military affairs, he doesn't need to be locked up in the city every day." Besides, it's all your inheritance, your people, what's not to add to the chaos! ”

Guo Zixing snorted, "My own son knows that his eyes are high and his hands are low, and no one can look down on him, and no one can catch up." I'm afraid that he will be embarrassed there, what should he not say, what should he not do, I really let Xiao Wu pick him up, where to put my face! ”

"How can that!" Zhang Tianyou said with a smile, "Xiao Wu is the most clever person, your foundation is not Tianxu in the future, can Xiao Wu not understand this?" Without you, Zhu Xiaowu didn't have today, don't worry, Xiaowu is measured. ”

(1, in history, Zhu Yuanzhang experienced a five-month siege by the official army in Haozhou, and then saw Guo Zixing and others just trying to have fun, and later Guo and Zhao Jun, who came to Haozhou for refuge, used intrigue and intrigue. germinated the idea of going out, and took the live target of his fellow villagers, the twenty-four heroes of Huaixi, out of Haozhou. ）
