The trees in Zhaozhou City have begun to lose their leaves, Chakhan Timur has not appeared since the last defeat of the Red Turban Army, Zhu Chuba thought that it was another trick to lure the enemy, and did not dare to relax his vigilance, but who would have thought that Chakhan Timur would really retreat like this.

Of course, it was not because he could not afford to fight anymore that he retreated. According to the scouts sent out by the Red Turban Army, it turned out that there was a salt seller named Zhang Shicheng in Baijuchang, Xinghua, and gathered local salt merchants to rebel. Since the beginning of Xinghua, all the way to the siege of the city, the momentum is like a bamboo, and now it has actually attacked Yingzhou City. Yin Duli of Yingzhou Prefecture was defeated and sent someone to ask for help from Chakhan Timur, so he had to put aside the good situation in Zhaozhou and go to Yingzhou to rescue.

Zhu Chuba breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the scout's report, the current Red Turban Army is starting from scratch and needs enough time to improve itself, which is undoubtedly an excellent transition opportunity for the current Red Turban Army. After discussing with Han Yu, Liu Tong, and others, it was decided that Zhu Chuba would personally supervise and set up a study class on the art of war and tactics, and all the generals of the army would study it in a unified manner.

......

The red maple forest in Zhaozhou City is a major attraction, and every time the maple leaves fall in this season, there are always many people who come to watch. Today is no exception, just after the dawn, the red maple forest is already full of people. But no one knows, and I don't know when, there is a small hill bag in the depths of this red maple forest, and there is a stone tablet in front of the mountain bag, which reads 'Brother Hanlin's Tomb - Brother Zhu Chu Bali.' ’

Near noon, a figure passed through the sensational crowd and went straight to the rarely visited red maple forest, and stopped in front of Han Lin's clothed mound.

The man looked at the tombstone, sat down, and then took out a jug of wine and two cups from his bosom.

"Big brother, you and I haven't been married for a long time, and we haven't even had a chance to drink together."

As he spoke, he filled two glasses, one evenly poured in front of the tombstone, and the other came to his lips and drank it all.

The man had a smile in his eyes and said, "Big brother, I have been a poor child since I was a child, and I don't have any lofty ambitions, I just have to get by. Before I joined the White Lotus Sect, the ones I wanted to kill the most were Bao Mengyi, who took away my sister-in-law's virginity, and Fuertai, the prefect of Haozhou, who gave Bao Mengyi ideas. ”

Zhu Chuba smiled self-deprecatingly: "But it's just thinking about it, at that time, I was just a poor boy who couldn't eat enough, where was I qualified to take revenge on that kind of big official." Knowing that I met my master Li Xunlong," a dazzling light flashed in his eyes: "He let me know that there is a kind of person called Jianghu people." Jianghu people can be happy to take revenge, so I killed Fortai and became a Jianghu person. But it's a pity, there has been no news of that Bao Mengyi, and I don't know where this grandson is hiding. ”

Zhu Chuba smiled: "But it doesn't matter now." The master gave me a new life and taught me this kind of kung fu. I'm content and couldn't ask for anything else. For me, the master's order is everything, he asked me to come to Zhaozhou to assist you in the uprising, and I came. I didn't have any other ideas, I just wanted to do a good job of what my master had given me. ”

Zhu Chuba poured two more wine glasses full of wine, the same cup was poured in front of the stele, but the other cup was held in his hand and did not drink, looking at the words on the stele, his expression was in a trance and he didn't know where to go: "Big brother, do you know, I was very surprised when you said you wanted to worship me that day." At that time, although I looked at you quite pleasing to the eye, I really didn't get to the point of worshipping. I don't know what I think, maybe it's because I can't refuse because you brought it up like this, so I agreed. ”

"Haha." Zhu Chuba drank all the wine in his hand and said with a smile: "Thinking about it now, I'm really glad." You're a good big brother, you saved my life. ”

"With your own life." Zhu Chuba's tone suddenly became low, as if he couldn't spit out with endless sadness and remorse.

Zhu Chuba poured himself another glass of wine, swallowed the previous sadness and remorse and this glass of wine into his stomach, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp: "I, Zhu Chuba, owe you a life, and I dare not expect to pay it off, but I think I will have one more goal that must be completed in the second half of my life." I will personally pluck the head of the dog of Chakhan Timur to comfort the spirit of the eldest brother in heaven. ”

Zhu Chuba secretly said to himself in his heart: "I swear! ”

After a long silence, the wine in the bottle has faintly bottomed out. Zhu Chuba put down the wine bottle and said, "Zhaozhou City is safe for the time being, and Chahan Timur is busy helping Yingzhou and Zhang Shicheng to deal with it. However, yesterday we received a letter from Zhang Shicheng, asking us to go to support the enemy Chakhan Timur. Speaking of which, this Chakhan Timur is indeed capable, and even Zhang Shicheng, who has always been invincible, cannot make any further progress under his resistance. Now that their two armies are in a stalemate, this is a good opportunity for us. Zhang Shicheng's rebel army, coupled with the strength of our Red Turban Army, is enough to break the current balance, and then I will have the opportunity to take off the head of Chakhan Timur to avenge you. But don't worry, we're not going to be as impulsive as we were last time. I have organized the generals of the Red Turban Army to learn the art of war, and the current Red Turban Army is no longer as vulnerable as it used to be, and we urgently need a big war to test the results of this period of learning. ”

Zhu Chuba poured the last wine in the bottle into the wine glass, poured a glass equally in front of the monument, and then drank the last glass himself, then got up, patted the dust behind his buttocks, and said with a smile: "The wine is also drunk, and I will start preparing for the dispatch of troops when I go back." Big brother, you just wait here quietly for my good news. ”

As he spoke, he bent down and lifted the wine bottle and glass on the ground, turned and strode away. The breeze blew, and a few red maple leaves fell with the wind, fluttering and falling on Han Lin's grave, and another gust of wind blew, and a few maple leaves rose from the ground, flew into the air, and slowly fell forward, catching up with Zhu Chuba, who was leaving. Zhu Chuba raised his head, and the ghost envoy reached out to catch this maple leaf, and the corners of his mouth made a pleasant arc. Tightening the maple leaves, the steps forward have become more and more firm.

Outside the red maple forest, there is still an endless stream of people who come to play. No matter how fierce the war is in the outside world, people's instinct to appreciate beauty will not be weakened in the slightest. They don't care what their surname is, as long as they can live well, they will be very satisfied. Most of the people don't have much ambition, just like Zhu Chuba at the beginning. As long as the people around him are safe and sound, as long as the war does not spread to his side, they will not resist. They wouldn't have cared that Zhaozhou City had now been occupied by the rebels, and they wouldn't have noticed that there was a rebel general lying in the depths of the Red Maple Forest, let alone that they were passing by at this time a person who had no great ambitions like them but was now at the top of the rebels. As always, they talked, laughing, and heartlessly ignoring everything that had nothing to do with them......
