Women's hearts are not easy to understand, and Zhu Yuanzhang is not interested in understanding those children's love and messy things, he is a hero who aspires to the world, and there is no leisure to waste in these aspects. However, Zhang Yingxian's confession and confession of mistakes are not all useless, at least Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer in the mood to teach her a lesson.

If he is now an emperor and rich all over the world, and a woman says that she loves him, she probably won't believe it. He will reject those women who want to be glorious and rich with indifferent eyes, and his cold heart will not waver in the slightest.

But now he is just a bandit leader, and there is only a group of rough men under his command, and the house is surrounded by walls, even the bed is a straw mat, and he may die at any time under the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers.

Somewhere soft in the depths of my heart, I was touched again! For a person like him who has been an emperor, the most difficult thing to experience is to be loved and sincerely loved by others......

The best way to deal with an invincible sword is not with a shield, but with a sheath. The more you resist it, the more it hurts both parties, but the more you accept it, the more you can get along with it.

In the previous life, the love given by Queen Ma was a scabbard, and the edge of Zhu Yuanzhang's sword was fully collected, and Zhu Yuanzhang in this life was so lucky that he actually got the sincere love of Qiu Ye and Zhang Yingxian.

His furrowed brow stretched slightly, and the bamboo strip he used to draw people had long been forgotten to the side.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and walked back to his straw mat, lay down quietly, and said in a deep voice: "Sleep, starting tomorrow, you study hard to learn ...... Autumn leaves are pregnant, and this family has to be managed by you. ”

"Huh? You...... Don't you want me? Zhang Yingxian was overjoyed: "I will learn to do housework hard!" ”

"Hmm!"

"But...... Since you admit me...... You...... You don't have to sleep on a mat...... I...... This...... Well...... "Zhang Yingxian is a woman after all, and the words that make a man blush and heartbeat like asking a man to go to his own bed finally can't spit out."

Zhu Yuanzhang understood what she didn't say, but he didn't leave his straw mat, for him, it was really difficult to fall in love with a woman, Zhang Yingxian's weight in his heart was far from enough, so he ignored Zhang Yingxian's invitation and replied lightly: "Sleep!" ”

"Hmm...... Damn it...... Damn man...... Hate you! Zhang Yingxian grabbed a handful of hay from the bed and threw it in the direction of Zhu Yuanzhang, and the hay was scattered in the air, scattering ...... The next day, she swept the floor for half an hour before she cleaned up the mess she had made.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At the beginning of July, the sun was shining, and there were still 20 days before Zhu Yuanzhang's estimated time.

Lian Guoshi and his party hid in the small cave in the back mountain for more than ten days, and he was not completely idle in these ten days, and sent a few soldiers to the front mountain to check the situation, but these soldiers were not far from the cave every time, and they found that there was a group of bandits fighting each other, swords and swords, and these soldiers quickly retreated to the cave to avoid being killed by mistake.

"Strange, why isn't this fire over?" Lian Guoshi began to feel that something was wrong, it stands to reason that the bandits and bandits want to re-elect the leader in a chaotic position, do they need to fight for ten days? At most, a day or two should be decided on the winner, right?

On this day, he finally couldn't help it, and when Yang Hong went to bathe by the stream outside the cave, he gathered his fifty soldiers together: "We can't wait any longer, this official has decided that we will rush to the front mountain today to see the situation no matter what...... If there are thieves blocking it, even if the official kills a bloody road, he will have to find Zhu Ba or that Wang Er in Qianshan to make it clear. ”

"Mishi-sama...... Let's listen to General Yang Hong's opinion on this matter......" A confidant soldier couldn't help but say: "Although General Yang Hong is only a thousand households, he has suppressed bandits and fought tough battles, and he is much stronger than those waste generals who can only talk empty words, and he should be able to come up with some useful strategies." Even if it's just in case...... If we really want to fight, with him in command, our small army can also exert greater combat power. ”

"Humph!" Lian Guoshi snorted coldly: "This person has accepted bribes from others, and he wants to sabotage the plan of appeasement wholeheartedly, and this official can't believe him." And after he goes back, the official has to clean him up immediately, how can he let him command? ”

"But......" The soldiers stopped talking, and one of the bold soldiers really wanted to tell Lian Guoshi loudly: You don't know how to fight.

It's a pity that they can only think about it, if they really want to say it, they don't have the courage to do it, so they have to frown and discuss. In the end, the soldiers temporarily elected a brave soldier to be the captain of these fifty people, and formed a simple small formation, of which ten soldiers with high martial arts skills were responsible for protecting the safety of the country, and the other forty soldiers were responsible for opening the way to kill the enemy.

Lian Guoshi did not wait for Yang Hong to come back and act together, and took fifty soldiers out of the cave, and the group ran quickly towards the direction of the mountain in front of the mountain along the mountain road.

What they didn't know was that just as they took the first step, there was a scout under the tree in the distance who had been watching them for a long time, and he ran quickly to the front mountain and informed Zhu Yuanzhang to go.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"That guy who practiced state affairs finally acted?" When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the report from the scouts, he was chatting with the leaders in the council hall of Qianshan, and he was not surprised by the sentry's report at all: "We first used negotiations to delay time, and then used fire to scare them for more than ten days...... It's a pity...... If it drags on any longer, he will inevitably see through it, and today should be the time for a showdown. ”

Desperately Saburo said: "It's a pity...... Brother Zhu, your estimated 90 days have not yet been completed, and there are still about 20 days to arrive. ”

"Well, that's a bit of a shame...... But this is also a helpless thing, we have done everything we can, at the right time and place, all to the extreme, but we can't achieve the plan perfectly, and there is no way. Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "In this world, there is no strategy that will definitely succeed, and there is no opponent who will always be kept in the dark, everyone must remember this, the right way of war is always to defeat the enemy from the front, and to use strategy must be mentally prepared to meet the imperfection of strategy." ”

The leaders were taught in silence.

Wang Er said loudly: "Then should we kill Lian Guoshi and his group of subordinates?" ”

"It doesn't have to be!" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "Let him go back...... If we kill him, we will not be able to hold on, let alone ...... There's another use for me to keep him......"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything about this other use, he only sighed in his heart and said: Whether or not he can recruit Yang Hong as a talent depends on whether he can help with state affairs.

"Zhu Bugs...... At this time, when we go back from state practice, does it mean that in the remaining twenty days, we will usher in an attack by the imperial court? Miao Mei is a little concerned about this issue.

"Actually...... Even if these twenty days drag on, we still have to fight Du Wenhuan after all. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Think about it, the imperial court has transferred 5,000 troops to Baishui, as long as we are not willing to be appeased, even if Shaanxi * Western is in chaos again, this army that has been transferred to Baishui will have to fight with our Huanglong Cottage before withdrawing to deal with other rebels." It is absolutely impossible to fight without fighting and just withdraw. ”

"Original...... So! "The leaders suddenly realized at this time, in the final analysis, this battle is inevitable after all, it is just a matter of fighting early and late, if it is fought early, the imperial court will continue to increase troops, if it is fought late, and then this battle will be fought again when Shaanxi * Western is in chaos again, at that time, the imperial court is forced by the pressure from all over the country, and the army will be dispersed, so it will not be able to continuously transfer troops.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "Inform the whole village, start now, enter a state of combat readiness, and prepare to meet the advance of the imperial court!" ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－

With the support of 50 soldiers, Lian Guoshi ran all the way along the mountain road, and the strange thing is that the bandits who could be seen everywhere a few days ago are now all gone, and the road leading to the front mountain is unobstructed, and there is no smoke or fire.

He couldn't help but be a little curious: "Why didn't the bandits fight?" Is this Zhu Ba fighting to win? Or did Wang Er fight to win? ”

"Your Excellency......" one soldier couldn't help but say, "In my opinion...... They didn't really fight at all......"

"Why do you say that?" Practice the strange way of state affairs.

"Isn't it strange that if there is a fire and you don't even see a corpse along the way?" This soldier is still a bit brainy: "The villain once fought in Yansui, and he has seen the mountain roads after the war, there are corpses everywhere, and all kinds of messy utensils are thrown, and the smell of corpses is permeating...... But now the road is clean...... It can be seen that the battles we saw when we came out to reconnoiter the first few times were all fake. ”

"It's all fake?" Lian Guoshi was shocked, he was shocked at this time, he was a scholar, he really didn't know anything about the war, and he didn't even have experience in what the mountain road should look like after the war...... It takes a soldier to remind you that it's terrible.

"Anyway, go to the front mountain as soon as possible to see ......"

Everyone ran wildly on the mountain road for a long time, and the mountain in front of them was finally in sight. Lian Guoshi saw from a distance that there was a large group of bandits in front of him, standing in a neat military formation, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time. The bandit was dressed in uniform clothes, carrying a spear with an iron tip in his hand, a wooden shield covered with iron in the front row, some of which had a waist knife hanging from his waist, and many of them carried bows and arrows and quivers on their backs......

Although he was a scholar who had never fought before, he also felt that the atmosphere of this bandit was a little strange at this time, when he first came to Huanglong Cottage, he saw a quiet and peaceful small cottage, and the bandits inside were holding crude weapons, wearing tattered cloth clothes, and the array was chaotic, and it looked like a rabble.

But what I saw at this time was a well-trained elite soldier, yes, it must be an elite soldier, although the scholar does not know how to fight, but this does not affect the most intuitive judgment of practicing state affairs, this is by no means a group of rabble, but the trump card in Zhu Ba's hand, the real combat power of this cottage!

Baishui Zhu Ba, what did he mean when he suddenly put on the strongest military formation at this time?
