Xu Renjie was the leader who arrived on the east coast with the first batch of ferries, and when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he immediately leaned over, with an excited expression on his face: "Brother Zhu, is there going to be a big battle?" I heard that this time it was Cao Wenzhao......"

"Well, a tough fight!" Zhu Yuanzhang gestured to him: "You go to Ma Xiaotian first to ask about the current situation, I have to accompany Zhao Sheng, who is panicking and restless, to light the lamp." ”

"Okay!" Xu Renjie walked towards Ma Xiaotian, his steps seemed very brisk, as soon as this war lover heard that there was a war, whether it was a difficult battle or an easy battle, he would be happy for a while.

This group of elite soldiers who arrived with Xu Renjie was a hundred elite soldiers of the old team, and as soon as these soldiers landed on the east coast, they immediately surprised the people on Zhao Sheng's side, because the elite soldiers of the old team were all wearing purple mandarin duck battle jackets, and everyone carried knives around their waists and spears in their hands, and there were quite a few of them carrying bows and quivers. The strength of such equipment fell in the eyes of an unorganized and undisciplined person like Zhao Sheng, who lit the lamp, and he immediately gasped: "Eighth Brother Zhu, the soldiers under your command ...... How can they all be so elite? That's amazing, isn't it? I have 20,000 men, but I can't get 100 of them. ”

"I don't have many soldiers like this, and the big brother who lights the lamp has won the prize." Zhu Yuanzhang said modestly.

After the ferry put down the old first team, it was going to return to the west bank and transport the second team over, Zhao Sheng, who lit the lamp, looked at the empty boat, and couldn't help but say: "It's too cost-effective to let these ships return to the west coast empty, transport some old and weak women over, our battle is more auspicious, and it is part of it that we can get rid of one person." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "Brother light the lamp, it's not appropriate to do this, just relying on these boats, you won't be able to walk many people, but it will collapse the morale of your army." ”

"Why?" I don't know if I light the lamp.

"You can't let everyone escape, you have to choose some people to go first!" Zhu Yuanzhang explained: "The people you choose are naturally very happy, but the people who are not selected will think in their hearts, 'Why don't you let me escape', they will not fight to the death, they will only put their hopes on these few ships that have no time to transport everyone away...... Also, Cao Wenzhao, who was monitoring us from a distance, let our boat come over and not attack, most likely because he hoped that he would catch all the reinforcements on the east coast, and if he saw the boat carrying people across the river and escaped, he would attack even earlier, and it would be all over by then. In this last battle, if everyone can't move forward desperately, no one can escape, and this kind of thinking must be tied to everyone's heart. ”

"I see!" Lighting the lamp dispelled the idea of letting some of the old and weak women flee with the boat first, and at the same time, he also admired Zhu Yuanzhang's analysis in his heart, this white water Zhu Ba is really powerful, especially the grasp of people's hearts is extraordinary, why didn't I think that my every move might shake the morale of the army?

With the passage of time, the second team, the third team, and the fourth team ...... Zhu Yuanzhang's most elite first ten formations came to the east bank in turn, and Zhao Sheng, who lit the lamp, saw that the equipment of these ten teams was very neat, and they were not at the same level as the thieves under him, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened: Zhu Ba's 1,000 people can at least top my three or four thousand...... Looking at the leaders who came with the army, the generalissimo asked Ma Xiaotian about the deployment of the officers and soldiers as soon as he came, and it seemed that he was a guy with quite command ability. In addition, there are three strong men named Miao Mei, Feishan Tiger, and Big Red Wolf, aren't they the old department of Yichuan Wang Zuohang? I heard that these three guys are very good at martial arts...... Lighting the lamp is jealous of Zhu Yuanzhang's elite soldiers, who is also a peasant rebel army, why does he have such a powerful leader and soldiers? But the 20,000 I brought with me are all goods with hoes? Alas, that's it...... With the help of his thousands of people, maybe he can really defeat Cao Wenzhao. When I come back to life, I'm going to get a unit like him.

When all the 1,000 soldiers crossed the river to line up, Xu Renjie had already inquired about the current situation from Ma Xiaotian, he walked to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Sheng's side, hugged his fists, and performed the etiquette of the rivers and lakes, and then said: "Brother Zhu, big brother who lights the lamp, I have already asked the situation clearly, this battle ...... It's a bit hard to fight. ”

When he saw that Xu Renjie looked like a famous Confucian general like himself, he got close, saluted, and said politely: "Originally, it was extremely difficult to fight, but after seeing the thousand elite soldiers brought over by Brother Zhu and the generalissimo, I feel confident that this battle will be won." ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to be honest!" Xu Renjie said seriously: "Even if you add a thousand of us, you won't be able to win." ”

"What?" Lighting the lamp was slightly unhappy: "Before you start fighting, you will grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige?" Now that you know you can't win, what else are you going to do for me? Let me be defeated and die by the Yellow River. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't show any expression, he just said lightly: "Brother Generalissimo, why do you have this judgment?" ”

Xu Renjie said seriously: "I heard the scout say, the officers and soldiers used the Liaodong Border Army this time, and the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and regardless of their martial arts, compared to the equipment alone, the equipment of these 3,000 people is stronger than our old team, not only equipped with waist knives, spears, bows and arrows, but also some people are issued with three-eyed eyes and birds...... Suppose the officers and soldiers send 1,000 such troops to have a fair decisive battle with the 1,000 elite soldiers who crossed the river to support us from our stockade, unless Zhu Bugge's command caused a miracle, we will definitely lose......"

He paused and said: "In other words, the 1,000 troops we have crossed over to reinforce can only be matched with 1,000 officers and soldiers at most, and the remaining 2,000 officers and soldiers must be handed over to the army of the big brother who lights the lamp to deal with...... To put it mildly, more than 10,000 of the 20,000 people who lit the lamp are useless, and the other 7,000 young men who can be used are against these 2,000 officers and soldiers, even if Zhu Baba comes to command, he will definitely be defeated. ”

"How can my people be so bad!" Lighting the lamp became more and more unhappy, but he had been defeated by Cao Wenzhao several times, and he had already lost confidence in his army, so this protest was also weak, and he said helplessly: "According to the generalissimo's leader's meaning, we don't have to fight, just arrest it?" ”

"No!" Xu Renjie said seriously: "Although we can't win, we still have a chance to escape, so my subordinates suggested that the purpose of this battle is not to defeat the officers and soldiers, but to escape from the encirclement of the officers and soldiers." ”

Hearing him say this, a smile finally flashed on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, obviously, Xu Renjie's analysis said that Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was in his heart, so he couldn't help but show a smile of relief to his proud disciple: "Then tell me, how to escape?" ”

"This ...... Cough...... I'm still wondering...... I haven't thought of a good plan for the time being. Xu Renjie's face was slightly red, obviously, although this guy has achieved "observing problems" and "judging problems", he has not been able to "solve problems", and his ability has not been fully exercised.

"When it comes to escaping, of course, the whole army twists into a rope and forcibly rushes out along the Yellow River to the north or south!" Zhao Sheng, who lit the lamp, couldn't help but interject: "With your 1,000 elite soldiers, it may not be impossible for us to forcibly defeat the officers and soldiers in Beigong or the southern part of the country, right?" ”

"That's just the right idea!" Xu Renjie said unceremoniously: "The loss will be big if you do this, and even if you really rush out, the result is still chased behind the ass by the officers and soldiers, our Huanglongshan army is not a big problem, you can escape into the mountains with a crutch anywhere, but the army of the big brother who lights the lamp has countless old and weak women, and it is slow to move, and it will be bitten by the officers and soldiers if it can't escape far." Therefore, if we want to escape, we must bite the officers and men at the same time, which will bring huge losses to the officers and men, so that they will lose interest in pursuing and collect the troops and go back to rectify. ”

"If you say it, then come up with tactics!" Lighting the lamp and shouting: "What's the point of turning over your lips for so long, but you can't even think of a feasible tactic?" ”

This sentence made Xu Renjie's old face slightly red! Indeed, as the lamp said, just talking about the head is the way, and in the end there is no solution, so it is better to say nothing. He had no choice but to be sick and cried his feet, staring at Zhu Yuanzhang with pleading eyes and said, "Brother Zhu...... I can't think of a way, so I'm asking for advice. ”

Lighting the lamp, he glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and thought in his heart: This generalissimo looks amazing, but there is nothing he can do about it. Is the world-famous Baishui Zhuba also this kind of person? He cleared his throat and said seriously to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Eighth Brother Zhu, if you have a way, come up with it and talk about it, as long as it is a practical way, I am willing to fully cooperate." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang waited for him to say this, and he smiled slightly: "Then I'll talk about my arrangements...... But then again, this kind of play is very difficult, and each army must achieve the most perfect coordination, Brother Lamplight, I want to ask you to hand over the command of your army to me for the time being, is it okay? ”

"As long as you can get out! That's what I heard! Zhao Sheng said seriously.

A gentleman's words, a quick whip, although Zhao Sheng is not a great character, but he still has the consciousness of making promises. And it is not a terrible thing to temporarily hand over the command of the army.

Thieves are different from officers and soldiers, officers and soldiers are war machines that act according to orders, only recognize the tiger talisman of the troops, do not recognize the face of the officer, the tiger talisman is in whose hands, listen to whom's orders, so there are many stories in history of generals being killed after being taken away from the tiger talisman. It is absolutely impossible for the commander of an officer or soldier to hand over his military power so easily, because the result of handing over his military power is the loss of the army.

But the thieves are different, they are not cold machines that act on orders, they are more bound by the "righteousness of the green forest", they do not look at the tiger talisman, but look at the "face" to decide who to be loyal to. Lighting the lamp was not afraid to hand over the military power, because when he wanted to take it back, he only had to say, "Come with me, old brothers." "At that time, it should be his soldiers, and they will still be his soldiers, and they can't run to Zhu Ba.

Zhao Sheng stood up and shouted to the surrounding thieves: "From now on, Brother Zhu of Baishui will plan to lead us to break through the encirclement of officers and soldiers and escape, and everyone will listen to Brother Zhu's orders for the time being!" ”
