Xu Da was right.

I asked for food from Zhu Wu and fed the soldiers in Haozhou, but no.

You are from Huaixi, and he Zhu Wu is also from Huaixi.

The soldiers in Haozhou are full, and they know that this grain belongs to Zhu Wu, what do they think?

They are all outlaws who crawled out of the pile of dead people, instead of being half-full at your place, it is better to go south to find Zhu Wu to eat enough.

In these years, there is no loyalty, and whoever has food will give his life. I didn't see all parts of Huaixi, and every day people went to Dingyuan and Hezhou, not to go to Zhu Wu to eat food and become a soldier.

And Zhu Chongba has a different mind.

If you want it for a while, or you can't for a lifetime. I'm full today, but what about tomorrow?

A manly man lives in the world, but he still has to rely on himself.

Besides, in his heart, the soldier must not be fed.

It's a dog when it's fed, and what he wants is a wolf. He is the king of these wolves.

"Don't talk nonsense in the future!" Zhu Chongba glanced at Zhou Dexing.

"I'm also doing it for everyone's good!" Zhou Dexing sighed and smiled, and said, "What day is it over there, what day is it here?" When it comes to war, we are not bad! People who rebel are rich and rich, what about us? Even if we don't care, but what about our brothers? Now there are so many more troops under our command than before, now they are safe, what about the future? If you don't give some sweetness these years, who is really hardworking? ”

Huaixi is too poor.

In other words, the scourge has been so ruthless in the past few years that there is really nothing to loot.

The life of these generals in Huaixi is okay, but what about the soldiers?

Zhu Chongba understands that the reason why Zhu Wu can open such a big gap with him is in addition to the wealth of Jiangnan. There is one more thing, that is, Zhu Wu can always give his subordinates hope, and he can always achieve it.

Where is the hope of the Haozhou Army?

Zhu Chongba himself, how could he not know that he was trapped in a cage.

"If no one is working hard, let's do it ourselves!"

Zhu Chongba is not a person who will sink and give in at will.

There was a different kind of light in the tiger's eyes, "After the autumn harvest, it will expand northward, if you want to eat well, it is not easy to get rich and rich, grab it from the government!" ”

Zhou Dexing wanted to speak and stopped, "Then, are we facing up to Meng Yuan, and we are going to fight hard?" ”

"Why are you so bad now?" Zhu Chongba scolded, "Let's get to this day, which time is not a hard hit?" Eating this bowl of rice, are you still afraid of war? ”

"That is, we will pass the 600,000 troops of the Yuan Court, I'm afraid of a bird!" Xu Da waved his fist, "Brother Chong, I'll be a pioneer!" ”

Looking at his most reliable brother, Zhu Chongba smiled brightly.

The weather is as bright as Zhu Chongba's smile, with blue sky, white clouds, and colorful sunshine, everything seems to be full of hope.

But these Huaixi men didn't know that the weather would be exceptionally good before the storm.

Just like human fate, accidents always come when you are at your best.

One second you're laughing, the next you're going to cry.

There are some difficulties that can not be overcome by trying your best. Some things are not something that can be controlled by oneself.

"King Han promised you to sell you artillery?"

It was getting late, and Mr. Guan was sitting in front of a table of wine and food at Xi Yingzhen's residence.

Lao Dao held the wine in his hand and frowned.

Mr. Guan's face on the opposite side was a little apprehensive, it was not easy to ask for someone, and he was worried about being embarrassed after refusing.

When he came out of Zhu Wu, he went to find Li Shanchang. But Li Shanchang played a Tai Chi, Han Wanghe said, Xi Laodao nodded, I will talk to you about the price here.

Otherwise, Xi Laodao didn't give you a cannon over there, and it would be in vain to talk about it.

"Zi'er!" Xi Yingzhen pondered and drank a glass of wine, looked at Mr. Guan, and smiled with an old face, "Zhong, the King of Han has said it, and the old Tao doesn't dare to refuse, how much do you want?" ”

Mr. Guan was overjoyed, "The more the merrier, we just smash the pot and sell iron to buy!" ”

"What kind of land to buy?" Xi Yingzhen smiled, "Field artillery or siege artillery?" ”

"As long as it's a cannon, I want it!"

"Eat the vegetables first, after eating, Lao Dao will take Mr. Guan to choose!" Xi Yingzhen looked polite.

But those who know him well know that the more polite Lao Tao is, the more harmful he is.

Mr. Guan didn't have the heart to eat, so he casually took two bites and followed Xi Yingzhen to a huge open space.

It is very desolate, and it is a place where artisans test their guns. The clearing is not flat, and every few hundred meters there are dirt hills, wooden stakes, and white lime lines drawn on the ground for measurement.

There were few people around, plus torches in the night and stars in the sky. Here, it's like killing people and burying corpses.

But Mr. Guan's eyes lit up, because in his sight, two huge cannons were placed there.

He had never seen a cannon and had never used it. But his instinct told him that the bigger the thing, the better, and the firecrackers should be bigger and louder.

The huge cannon glowed faintly in the night, the length of an adult, and the muzzle of the cannon could almost fit into a baby's head. Reach out and touch it, making people's new machine cold.

"This is our latest artillery!" Xi Yingzhen smiled proudly, "It's a little heavier, more than two thousand catties." But if you hit it far, you can hit a mile of land. Field battles are inconvenient, but sieges are the most useful. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

A few men in cloth clothes, loaded with charges, and after a few rounds, retreated to the side of the artillery.

"Mr. Guan, be careful!" Xi Yingzhen smiled and nodded at the gunners.

"What do you mean he told me to be careful?"

Mr. Guan was hesitating when the sky suddenly collapsed in his ears.

Bang!

Mr. Rao is Mr. Guan was bloodied in the north and the Yuan army, and he was not intuitive at this moment.

In the loud explosion, it seemed that a ball of fire rushed out.

Before I had time to take a closer look, the dirt mountain a hundred steps away suddenly turned into a piece of broken soil.

The dirt flew from the ground into the air and fell like rain.

The white mist dissipated, and a tall, broad, and sturdy earth mountain was directly punched out of a big pit. And the black projectile still exudes a penetrating scorching heat in the dirt.

"How's it powering?" Xi Yingzhen smiled.

Mr. Guan was speechless and froze.

This is a blow on a dirt mountain, but what if it is hit in a pile of people? And if it hits the city wall? Hit in the camp of the Yuan army?

Mr. Guan, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, has countless possibilities in his mind. Each of them is the enemy's ghost crying wolf.

"Dao Chief, I'll buy it!" Mr. Guan pondered to the end, "Ming people don't say dark words, if you have any requirements, just say it!" ”

Smart people are good talkers!

If it's a stupid one, it really takes a while to speak.

Xi Yingzhen waved his hand again, and those gunners disappeared into the night in an instant, as if they had never come.

"Cannon, the old way can give you the best!" Xi Yingzhen helped Mr. Guan up, "You can talk to Li Shanchang about the price." But you have to promise Lao Dao a condition, otherwise even if the King of Han nods and you go out of Jinshan, Lao Dao will say that there is no cannon! ”

"Don't say one condition, the Taoist chief can give me this surname!"

With such a magic weapon, Mr. Guan has long been fascinated and can't help himself. It must be brought back, no matter what the cost, the northern Red Jin Army must have artillery.

"What does Lao Dao want your life for? You are a famous hero in the world, and the King of Han admires you very much. Xi Yingzhen continued to laugh and said, "The condition of the old way will only fulfill your wisdom even more!" And it's a hands-on thing, and you don't even have to do it yourself. ”

"You say!" Mr. Guan is like a mirror in his heart, the more the old way is like this, the more it shows that this matter is not simple.

"You kill someone!"

"Who?"

"Your neighbor!" Xi Yingzhen smiled hesitantly, "Zhu Chongba! ”
