"It turned out to be the Guyuan Border Army, no wonder it was so powerful...... I don't think they look like thieves at all! Cao Wenzhao sighed depressedly: "This time I am not wronged, withdraw!" ”

The officers and soldiers finally moved, and Cao Wenzhao's handsome flag was raised high, but it did not press towards the thieves, but went east. The reason why the handsome flag was held high was just so that the soldiers of the northern camp who were scattered by Zhu Yuanzhang could reunite in the direction of this handsome flag.

Watching the officers and soldiers withdraw, Zhu Yuanzhang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Whew...... It's a tough battle to finally retreat. "He only has a bad card in his hand that is the largest spade A, but Cao Wenzhao has two ghosts and four twos in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang really tried his best this time, only to fold Cao Wenzhao's good cards into bad cards to play, and finally forced the opponent to draw, the difficulty is really not enough for outsiders.

Seeing the officers and soldiers withdrawing, the lantern lighting department also cheered together: "The officers and soldiers have retreated!" ”

"Haha, finally repelled the officers and soldiers!"

"Now Cao Wenzhao won't bite anymore, we'll keep chasing!"

"Hooray!"

Helmets, leather shields, pot lids and other objects were thrown up by the thieves, and then all the leaders of the thieves, including the lanterns, were lifted up and thrown into the sky, if it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang's team of people who seemed to be powerful and oppressive, and they were not the same number as them, they were afraid that they would have to lift Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Renjie and others to the sky and throw them into the sky.

"It's all up to Brother Zhu, we're finally saved!" The lantern was lit and Zhu Yuanzhang was moved, his face was full of gratitude, but there was no trace of hypocrisy and pretentiousness in this grateful: "Eighth Brother Zhu, thanks to your help this time, I really don't know how to thank you, if you have any instructions, just say, I can do it for you." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang knows that lighting the lamp is just talking about playing, what is not repayed, if he really asks him to repay, what can he take? Do you want to give me a few beautiful women stolen from the people? It's boring! But he said in a high-sounding manner: "The rivers and lakes are in emergency, how can there be a gift to reciprocate, please take this matter to heart in a hurry." ”

When the lamp heard this, he said no more about repayment: "What should we do next?" Show me the way! Alas...... Since the beginning of the uprising, my brothers and I have been displaced, I don't know how many hardships I have suffered, and I have experienced several risks of life and death, which is really extremely exhausting...... If you can get a few words of advice from Brother Zhu, you will definitely be of infinite use for life. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to think about it, and then said: "Brother Lamplighter, I think it's not okay for you to run around like this, it won't be the climate after all, I suggest that you don't move alone, go find the other leaders of the thirty-sixth battalion, and act together, so that you can take care of each other, wouldn't it be much easier!" ”

"Join forces with other leaders?" Lighting the lamp obviously hesitated, Zhu Yuanzhang caught the flash of confusion on his face, and after a few breaths, the lamp seemed to wake up, and arched his hand: "Thank you Brother Zhu for your advice, then I will go north to find Zijin Liang, King Chuang, and the Eight Kings, I heard that they are active not far from the north, and they should be able to meet." ”

"Hmmm! I wish the lantern brother a smooth journey! ”

"Hmmm! I also wish Brother Zhu all the best! ”

"Qingshan doesn't dare, the green water flows forever, we will have a period in the future!"

The lantern led the troops north, and it didn't take long for them to disappear at the end of the horizon. It wasn't until he walked far away that Xu Renjie came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhu, why do you want him to go to the thirty-sixth battalion to join the army, it is better to let him join our army...... Haven't we been attracting heroes from all walks of life? What a pity to let the 20,000 people in front of you don't. ”

"Nope! I would have wanted it. Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "But I tried to light the lamp, and decided not to want him." ”

"Temptation?"

"Well, I advised him to go find the other leaders of the thirty-sixth battalion. At that time, a different color flashed in his eyes, and it was obvious that this guy who lit the lamp didn't want to join forces with other leaders, and his reason was nothing more than that he was worried that other leaders would take away his authority and swallow his 20,000 people...... "Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Such a guy, what am I doing here?" Let him figure it out on his own. ”

"I see!" Xu Renjie was stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "In addition, even if he is not such a person, but a good person who sincerely wants to join forces with me, I will not agree." ”

"Why is that?" Xu Renjie was really a little puzzled this time.

"How big a belly, how much to eat." Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "The foundation of our army is still shallow, if it swallows a few hundred people, or a small group of rebels of one or two thousand people is no problem, and it will cause stomach pain if you eat 20,000 people in one bite." ”

Xu Renjie still understands this truth, the premise of annexing others is that he is big enough, big fish can eat small fish, and small fish can eat small shrimp, but if he is just a small shrimp, he must not swallow a big fish, it will only break his stomach, and it will not be beneficial. He sighed and said, "I feel like I let go of the lamp in vain, and we fought for nothing...... wasted his strength and injured many brothers in vain. ”

"It's not for nothing!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Our name will soon spread in the thirty-sixth battalion...... Good fame will bring many untouchable and invisible benefits, and it will have unexpected effects at critical times. Besides, after this battle, I believe that you and Miao Mei can learn a lot, and no matter what time it is, it is not a bad thing to gain actual combat experience. ”

"Got it!"

"It's good to understand, collect the troops and go back to Chengcheng!"

Zhu Yuanzhang led the troops back to the edge of the Yellow River, desperate San Lang had been waiting impatiently, sent a ferry to pick up the army back to the west bank, and immediately came over to ask non-stop, Xu Renjie said this bun immediately came over, and told Desperate San Lang about the battle, and his eyebrows danced, not also pleasant.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not in the mood to laugh and waste, he stopped on the edge of the Yellow River for a long time, and then called the desperate San Lang over and instructed: "You arrange, build a ferry here, and then open a black shop in the nearest county town on the other side of the river, and send a few people like Sun Erniang to be stationed in the store, and dress up more information about Shanxi...... The next time there is any disturbance on the other side of the river, I must report it as soon as possible, and don't let some mysterious enemy touch the river to inform me. ”

Desperate Saburo was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Obey!" It was my negligence this time, and it won't be the case again next time. ”

"Forget it, I don't blame you, you haven't done this kind of thing before, it is inevitable that something will be missed, just don't do it again in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang's intelligence work has actually not been very good, because he was deep in the Huanglong Mountains, and he used to always be blind to the situation outside the mountains, and after Xu Renjie's Mi Xing was used as a news network, the Huanglong Cottage slowly grasped some intelligence about Shaanxi, but the mountains on the other side of the Yellow River were still a place they had never set foot in.

Desperately Saburo took the order, and went to arrange the ferry and the information station, and there was no table here-

When Zhu Yuanzhang led his troops back to Chengcheng, he saw that Baishui Wang Er had already entered Chengcheng with 2,000 troops, and he received an order to transfer the army to Chengcheng in the name of exercises, and then hold the troops still. Although Wang Er was rude, he was not stupid, and when he received this order, he knew that something must have happened, so he was not ambiguous, and rushed over as fast as he could, and now seeing Zhu Yuanzhang leading his troops back, Wang Er also breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Zhu, you have come back safely......"

"I'm almost going to not be able to come back!" Miao Mei leaned up: "Second Brother Wang, when I went out this time, I can be regarded as an eye-opener, and I have seen a hero who can fight better than you, tsk...... That elusive steel gun, I am really fascinated by my brother! ”

"Can you fight better than me?" Wang Er was immediately unconvinced: "Tell me, who is the one who can play?" ”

Miao Mei, Wang Er, Flying Mountain Tiger, and Big Red Wolf, the leaders who focused on force, ran to the side and sat down, and then you said a word, and I told Wang Er about Cao Wenzhao's majesty.

"That little steel gun...... It's amazing......"

"You see it's on the left, and all of a sudden it's on the right...... You see it's stabbing forward, and I don't know how an enemy soldier fell to the ground behind it......"

"That riding skill is also very good, the war horse that stepped down was like his own legs, it was really easy to advance and retreat......

Several leaders spit and spit, and Wang Er's mouth opened wider and wider, until they talked about Cao Wenzhao's single-handedly and came out of the formation, Wang Er shouted "oops": "Really killed out?" ”

"Yes! Seven thousand young men lit the lamp and surrounded Cao Wenzhao's department, and he actually killed it single-handedly...... Brother, I really have to obey ......," Miao Mei sighed.

Wang Er's black face turned red: "So powerful? Such a powerful guy, I didn't even fight him...... Damn, why didn't I fight this battle? ”

"Second Brother Wang, it's not me who will raise the morale of others and destroy the prestige of my own brother. If you really fight him, you can't lie in the coffin now, your Xiaohong is lying on the lid of your coffin crying......" Feishan Tiger said in a weird way.

"You talk nonsense! My Xiaohong is not the kind of woman who only lies on the lid of the coffin and cries, if I die, she will definitely chase Cao Wenzhao around with a knife and help me avenge me...... Wang Er laughed.

"If she really catches up with Cao Wenzhao, she will become two coffins, you and your Xiaohong will have one coffin, one for each person, and lie in rows......" The big red wolf also likes to joke.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a thunderous roar in the distance: "Who is talking nonsense?" Do you want to send me and the head of the house to the coffin? If I catch you, I'll have to tear your mouth apart. ”

The big red wolf looked back, oh my mother, Yingshan Hong was spreading out and striding over.

"Sister-in-law, I'm joking, don't take it ......seriously," the big red wolf jumped up and ran, and the flying tiger also ran. Ying Shanhong chased after the two of them, waving a fist the size of a bowl, and all three of them ran away in a flash.

Miao Mei and Wang Er glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Let's step up our martial arts, don't really lie down in a row one day......"
