Someone reported: "Zuo Liangyu is here, four miles away from the north...... Zuo Liangyu is here, four miles away from the north, ......"

Hearing this news, the hundreds of rabble of the red lady suddenly made an uproar, and several percent of the troops left by Gao Yingxiang and others also made a loud noise, and there were people in each camp running wildly, hurriedly going to put on armor and get weapons, and the thief camp was in chaos.

The red lady noticed that the camp tent of the Zhu army was quiet, there was no noise, and there was no chaos, the soldiers ran in the barracks in an orderly manner, and after a while, they returned to the camp separately, dressed neatly, and the soldiers first formed a team of 100 people, and then went to the camp gate in the north, and quickly formed a large formation outside the camp.

Seeing this scene, the red lady couldn't help but open her mouth wide, a little incredulous, this thief army is too well-trained, right? I saw that Zhu Jun began to advance northward to meet Zuo Liangyu, and she also hurried over, but the thieves under her command were still in a state of confusion and couldn't keep up with the speed of Zhu Jun at all, so the Red Lady had to abandon them and follow Zhu Jun alone.

A few days ago, she was worried that if there were officers and soldiers coming, Zhu Jun would put her subordinates in front as cannon fodder, but now she realized that she was wrong, people didn't mean it at all, and her subordinates didn't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder, because they couldn't keep up with the speed of others, how could they walk in front as cannon fodder?

The red lady followed the Zhu army to the north, only to see a little cavalry chasing each other in front, it turned out that the scouts of Zuo Liangyu's army and the scouts of the Zhu army crossed each other, and the scouts of both sides were trying to drive away the enemy scouts, but they failed to do so. As a result, the information of the two sides also crossed with each other, and no one wanted to surprise anyone.

Only then did she understand why when she came from the south, she was still a few miles away from Runing Mansion, and she was stopped by Xue Hongqi and fought, it turned out that where the army was located, the scout net had to be spread a few miles away to prevent all kinds of emergencies, otherwise she would not know why she would be stopped and beaten by someone.

She felt that her knowledge was shallow, so she quickly widened her eyes to learn more and see more.

I saw the plains ahead. Zuo Liangyu had already set up a military formation. Zhu Jun stepped forward and lined up to greet each other. The Red Lady is still inexperienced, and she can't judge the number of soldiers on the other side with her eyes, and she saw that Xue Hongqi's cavalry team was not mixed with Zhu Jun's infantry team. Instead, it's listed separately next to it. So he hurriedly struck his horse over. Side by side with Xue Hongqi, he asked, "Sister Xue Hongqi, how many officers and soldiers are there?" Is it hard to bite? ”

"About five thousand." Xue Hongqi said with a smile: "Zuo Liangyu, this guy is also a good general. The 5,000 men he commanded were very difficult to gnaw. ”

The red lady hurriedly said: "The little sister also went to help." ”

Xue Hongqi shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry, this battle may not be able to be fought." ”

"Can't fight?" The red lady is strange.

Xue Hongqi said with a smile: "Zuo Liangyu and we have already fought once in Luoyang, but we couldn't fight that time, and we may not be able to fight this time." ”

The red lady asked innocently: "They are soldiers, we are thieves, whether they see us or we see them, it should be an endless situation, right?" ”

Xue Hongqi couldn't help but smile: "We want to preserve our strength and not fight unnecessary battles, so we won't take the initiative to find officers and soldiers to fight indiscriminately, because indiscriminate fighting will not only not change anything, but will lose our brothers in vain." As for the officers and soldiers...... They also have all kinds of reasons not to fight, how can things in the world be so simple. ”

The red lady seemed to understand whether she understood or not, only to see Zhu Jun and Zuo Liangyu's army confronting each other, but they were not the first to act, the two armies fought for most of the day, and they didn't fight until the sun set, and then Zhu Jun collected his troops and retreated a few miles south to the camp to rest, Zuo Liangyu also collected his troops and retreated a few miles to the north to rest, and the two armies were ten miles apart at the same time.

This scene made the red lady look in a fog, and she didn't know why.

After returning to the camp that night, Zhu Jun was burying the pot and cooking, and the red lady came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and asked him for advice: "Brother Zhu, what method did you use to make Zuo Liangyu unwilling to fight with you?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang put down his bowl with a smile: "Ambition! ”

"Ambition?" The red lady was puzzled.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "He is ambitious, so he must preserve his strength and not fight with me." ”

The red lady suddenly said: "You also have ambitions, so you also have to preserve your strength and not fight Zuo Liangyu, right?" ”

"Ha, funny little girl!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded at her and said: "That's right, I have ambitions, my ambition is to calm the world, dominate the universe, let everyone in the world have enough to eat, and let everyone in the world have clothes to wear." ”

The red lady stuck out her tongue: "It's really ambitious, but I don't have such big ambitions, as long as I can let these people in my hometown live a good life." When she said this, she suddenly thought of one more thing, and asked seriously: "Eighth Brother Zhu, Zuo Liangyu passively avoided the war and didn't dare to fight with you, isn't he afraid of being punished by the imperial court?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled dumbly and said: "Little girl, suppose you are a hunter, you raise a hunting dog to help you catch rabbits, one day you send a hunting dog out to catch rabbits, a group of rabbits jump out, but he passes by the rabbits and does not catch them, what will you do?" ”

The red lady said: "Of course, it is to kill the dog to eat dog meat." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "But after you kill the dog, the rabbit can't be caught anymore, what should I do?" ”

The red lady thought for a while: "Oh, then I won't kill the dog, I'll beat the dog twice and tell it to try to catch rabbits for me tomorrow." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Then let's take another hypothesis, you let go of this hound and then go to catch rabbits, but the big rabbit it released earlier has grown fangs and claws." The hound is afraid of the big rabbit and only catches a small rabbit back, what do you do?

The red lady thought for a long time this time, sighed and said: "The dog that can catch the little rabbit is also a dog after all, I still have to keep it, otherwise I won't even have to catch the little rabbit." ”

"That's right!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "You compromised, so the court also compromised, this is called appeasement and adultery, and the reason why Zuo Liangyu is not afraid of the court to rectify him is for this reason." ”

The red lady is a little girl, and she doesn't know much. After listening to what he said, she still didn't understand very well, and she thought for a long time before she said, "You say so powerfully, then what if you are the hunter and the dog and the rabbit happen to you, what will you do?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "I killed the disobedient dog first and ate its dog meat." Then use your own strength to catch the rabbit yourself, and after catching the rabbit, use the money from the sale of the rabbit to buy a new dog and re-educate it on the kung fu of catching rabbits. ”

The red lady clapped her hands violently: "So there is still such a way?" Brother Zhu, you are really a powerful person. She looked at Zhu Yuanzhang a little differently from other men. But she didn't notice it.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled but said nothing.

The red lady smiled and said, "Eighth Brother Zhu." You are so powerful, can you write poetry, do I admire the man who can write poetry the most? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "I don't write poetry." ”

The joy in the red lady's eyes flashed, and it instantly turned into a disappointment. She sighed and said, "I won't." Then forget it......" She was moved by Zhu Yuanzhang's talent just now. It's a little tempting, but what she likes is a beautiful son after all, and she wants that kind of writing to be able to put pen to peace in the world. Zhu Yuanzhang said that he couldn't write poetry, which disappointed the red lady.

But this is just a small section, she put her mind back to business, she has been in the Zhu Jun camp for a few days, knowing that Zhu Jun has taken in many people from Runing Mansion, and is not the kind of evil rebel army who burns, kills and robs, so she made up her mind, and said: "Brother Zhu, the little sister has just raised an incident, she doesn't understand anything, she can't do it on her own, I want to join your army, I don't know if you can agree." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded casually and said, "No problem, you can stay." ”

The red lady quietly waited for his next step, wanting to hear what he had to say to her, but after waiting for a long time, there was no follow-up, she wiped her sweat and said strangely: "Brother Zhu, you don't have any other orders when I join the gang?" Like what do you tell me to do? Or cut off a person's head as a vote......"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled dumbly: "If you join the gang, you will join the gang, what is there to do for you?" You are still young, and your soldiers are not yet usable, so what can I do for you? Aren't you afraid of messing up? You just stay in the army to see and learn more, and you don't need to do anything else. ”

Hearing him say that his soldiers were unusable, the red lady was slightly angry, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that what she said made sense, with more than 10,000 elite soldiers under her command, how could she afford to look down on these shrimp soldiers in her hands, a word of protest came to her mouth, and she swallowed it back hard. walked out sullenly, but happened to meet Xue Hongqi and Li Jieqiong walking side by side.

She looked at it in a trance, two Xue Hongqi? I couldn't help but rub my eyes, and when I looked at it, I recognized that it was just two women dressed exactly the same, the short one was extremely beautiful, and with a weak temperament, it was as if the wind could be blown down.

She couldn't help but point at Li Jieqiong and said, "You are also the leader of the Zhu army?" ”

"yes!" Li Jieqiong blinked: "What's wrong?" ”

The red lady asked, "Are you a very useful person?" ”

Li Jieqiong pursed her mouth: "Of course I'm very useful." ”

The red lady said dissatisfiedly: "I just went to find Brother Zhu to join the gang, but he didn't want me to do anything, saying that I was useless, and he didn't give me anything to do, just told me to watch more and learn more first." But you can't lift your shoulders and your hands when you look at them, so why are you useful? ”

Xue Hongqi smiled dumbly, "You are useless, you will only fight, but there are not thousands of people in our army who are good at fighting, but there are eight hundred, which round will you come out to do things?" ”

The red lady was unhappy: "Then what's the use of this sister who is weaker than me?" ”

Xue Hongqi smiled: "She is about to distribute food to your subordinates, so you can come along." ”

The red lady followed behind Xue Hongqi and Li Jieqiong and entered a tent, which contained a small desk with the four treasures of the study and an abacus on it. Xue Hongqi helped to polish the ink, and Li Jieqiong started to work with an abacus in her left hand and a pen in her right hand, it turned out that she was distributing military rations to the soldiers.

She is the daughter of a merchant family, and her skill in counting grain is also relatively powerful in the Zhu army, if she is in order, she will be ranked third in the Zhu army, and the first two are Xu Renjie and Li Chujiu. But Xu Renjie doesn't like to do this work, he only likes to fight, Li Chujiu is inseparable in southern Shaanxi, and Li Jieqiong is in charge of the temporary accounts in the army.

When the red lady saw her ability, she was taken aback: "It turns out ...... Such a young girl is actually literate and hyphenated, and knows how to settle accounts. (To be continued.) )
