Chapter 212: Striking Prestige

Zhu Yuanzhang really understands Guo Zixing and Guo Dashuai's thoughts, so he really knows it very well.

Because Guo Zixing is a person who doesn't believe in others by nature, especially for people with other surnames, he has a suspicious heart. One

Although he gave so many favors to Zhu Yuanzhang, Guo Zixing still kept a hand, which could prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from becoming big under him and making him lose control.

Such a thing is intolerable to Guo Zixing and Guo Dashuai.

However, because Zhu Yuanzhang's talent is really outstanding, Guo Zixing and Guo Dashuai are very appreciative and absolutely dependent.

Let's put it this way, he has to discuss all the big and small affairs of the righteous army with Zhu Yuanzhang.

And it is basically implemented in accordance with the strategy set by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the effect has always been very good. Moreover, it is much better than the methods that Guo Zixing thought of himself.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's official position has not been officially improved, because of his relationship with Guo Zixing and Guo Zixing, in fact, the other rebel brothers also know it.

Moreover, Guo Zixing and Guo Dashuai also appointed Zhu Yuanzhang to train these rebel brothers under him.

Think about it, in this way, Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige among these rebel brothers under Guo Zixing is really getting higher and higher.

On this day, Guo Zixing, Guo Dashuai, and several other marshals discussed with them, and unanimously decided that Guo Zixing's troops would serve as the vanguard and go out of the city to meet the enemy.

They wanted to carry out an active attack to repel the Yuan court's strategy of encircling their Haozhou City, because it was very important for their rebel army.

Now there is still not enough food in Haozhou City, so they need to repel this siege by the Yuan court.

Then they opened a road and brought in some food from the outside, so that they could defend for a little longer.

Because the number of soldiers in the rebel army is still less than the number of the Yuan court's army.

And in terms of combat effectiveness, it is even more incomparable, so for this point, in fact, several marshals are quite clear in their hearts.

When they occupied Haozhou City, it was because there were very few defenders here.

Moreover, those soldiers are all wine bags and rice bags, bullying the common people every day, and deducting the food and salary of the lowest-level soldiers below.

Therefore, there were no soldiers to give them their lives, so Guo Zixing and the others occupied Haozhou City so easily.

Otherwise, the place of Haozhou City, such a prominent terrain, is really the so-called easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they really can't take it.

This is also the reason why those generals of the Yuan Court chose to besiege Haozhou City, instead of attacking Haozhou City, because they really didn't have the strength.

Let's put it this way, if they want to break through Haozhou City, then their strength is estimated to increase at least two or three times before there is this possibility.

And there are a lot of artillery and other weapons to assist.

However, because now in the entire land of China, there are really many rebels in the righteous army.

They simply don't have enough strength to send so many troops over a small Haozhou city, that's impossible.

Therefore, such a situation is also the reason why Guo Zixing and his rebel troops were able to survive here.

At this time, the main target of the Yuan court was Liu Futong in Shandong.

Their rebel army was already the most powerful of all the rebel troops.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the decision made by Guo Zhixing and the other marshals, and he felt that it was completely formulated in accordance with his assumptions.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang volunteered, he wanted to be a pioneer officer, leading Xu Da and Tang to successfully complete their combat mission this time.

For this, Guo Zixing and Guo Dashuai really appreciate it, because with a tiger general like Zhu Yuanzhang and them, he can really be said to be at ease.

Only then can he strategize in Haozhou City, without having to go to the battlefield to suffer that kind of risk, after all, there are no eyes for swords and guns.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da, Tang and their military power have expanded even more.

Let's put it this way, the rebel army they led this time can be said to be more than two-thirds of all the rebel troops under Guo Zixing, and it is two-thirds of the strongest combat effectiveness.

Let's put it this way, if Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Datang and the people lead these rebel troops to run, then the name of Guo Zixing and Guo Dashuai will be gone immediately.

The reason why he is respected here as Guo Dashuai is because he still has these soldiers under him.

If it weren't for these rebel soldiers, what kind of Guo Dashuai would he be, wouldn't he? To be honest, not even the air is anymore.

During this time, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang was free, he would look at the military books that he could find here, as well as those battlefields, and the most important thing was the terrain around Haozhou City, the rivers, and other resources, as well as the unfavorable conditions, Zhu Yuanzhang knew it all.

After all, fighting a war is not a trivial matter, it is not a game, it is called playing with life, if Zhu Yuanzhang has a little bit of unexpectedness, it is very likely to lead to the annihilation of his army.

Think about it, in that case, will he still have a life? That's not going to happen.

Therefore, for the sake of his future development and to get through the current situation, Zhu Yuanzhang must grit his teeth and get through his most difficult period now.

Why Zhu Yuanzhang said that he was the most difficult, it was because his current position was actually quite embarrassing.

If he didn't want to go out to fight, then this Guo Zixing Guo Dashuai actually didn't have anything to ask Zhu Yuanzhang, because after all, fighting now is the No. 1 thing in the sky.

Therefore, this time Zhu Yuanzhang swore in his heart that he must fight this battle well and play the prestige of the righteous army.

Because the last time Zhu Yuanzhang fought with those Yuan court's armies, it was actually not a real face-to-face battle, he was just sneak attacking, or ambushing on the road, which was really a bit opportunistic.

Because if you do this, although Zhu Yuanzhang also wins, but those people in the Yuan Court will not be afraid at all.

It's not a head-on battle, it's hard to deter the Yuan court army, haha, then you must defeat them through a head-on battle.

In this way, as soon as the troops of the Yuan Court think of Zhu Yuanzhang and them, they will be afraid, so as to achieve the purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang's expedition this time.

Because only by achieving such a goal can they really forge a way and successfully complete their military mission this time.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already arranged everything before he set out on the expedition.

"Let's go!"
