Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Triumph of Blood and Fire
Chu Liuyan sighed: "It would be nice if Liu Bowen and Liu Gongzi could be here." He knows astronomy and geography, and he must have a way to predict the direction of the wind. ”
That being said, there is nothing that can be done. It was not until the evening of the eighth day that the wind changed direction, and a northwesterly wind blew. Chu Liuyan and Chang Yuchun took people to the valley of Hengjian Mountain to attack Liao Tycoon's team. Liao Daheng had 20,000 elite soldiers, and he had always been very conceited, although he did not get much benefit in the Yuan Dynasty's war to besiege Bozhou, this did not affect his self-confidence. He never imagined that one day someone would come to the place where he was stationed in the valley and carry out a fire attack, and when the fire broke out, he was still in the tent admiring the beautiful dancing of the singer.
As soon as the fire broke out, the team immediately went into disarray. The valley is limited, and if all the fires were to be burned, all the people would surely die in it. Seeing this, the soldiers all ran outside. Among them, the fastest one is Liao Tycoon. Xu Da and Lan Yu had already learned about Liao Tycoon's appearance, and when Liao Tycoon ran out, they immediately captured him alive.
The rest of the soldiers, seeing that the commander was captured, of course they didn't even have the heart to fight. In addition, at this time, Chu Liuyan and Chang Yuchun brought a lot of people to beat gongs and drums around the valley, waving flags and shouting, and it sounded like the sound of gongs and drums and flags and shouts all over the mountains. Those soldiers didn't know how many people there were on the other side, and their legs were already weak with fright. They came out one after another, like Xu Da and Lan Yu surrendered.
By the next morning, the soldiers who could escape from the valley had all escaped, and Lan Yu counted the number of people, about nineteen thousand, and more than a hundred people died, and most of those people were not burned to death, but were trampled to death by their companions when they fled.
By the time Zhu Yuanzhang arrived, Liao Daheng's soldiers had all surrendered. The joy and pride in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart can naturally be imagined. He first sent someone to execute Liao Daheng, the so-called eradication of grass and roots, Liao Daheng will never survive, he is different from Sima Changfeng, keeping him is always to keep the trouble.
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang walked in front of the soldiers gathered together, completely different from what everyone imagined, Zhu Chongba did not comfort them with good words, but reprimanded loudly, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You have surrendered to me Zhu Yuanzhang now, I think, what I should say to you is life and death, being brothers has this life, there is no afterlife, we have to live and die together." But I really can't say that to you now. Say to yourselves, 'Are you doing the right thing?' There are 20,000 of you, but a single fire will make you all surrender. In this case, how can there be a war? How can you be a warrior? I hope that after you follow me Zhu Yuanzhang, you will be able to fight without fear of death on the battlefield and fight with all your heart! And I, Zhu Yuanzhang, also promise you that as long as there is one day with me, there will be one day with my brothers, and as long as I am glorious and rich, there will definitely be you! I, Zhu Yuanzhang, don't read much, and I can't say that kind of high-sounding words, I just want to say to you, as long as I can eat meat, I will never let my brother drink porridge! ”
Nearly 20,000 people did not speak, and there was silence on the field. After a short while, someone shouted loudly. Immediately afterward, the others cheered loudly. They shouted loudly: "Follow Marshal Zhu, don't be afraid of death, have something to eat!" Don't be afraid of death, have food to eat! The shout was earth-shattering, and Zhu Yuanzhang showed a slight smile on his face.
Everything was much easier than I imagined, and I didn't expect that it would be so easy to subdue nearly 20,000 people. Since then, Zhu Chongba is no longer fighting alone, he has an army, as long as he has an army, it will be easier and easier to fight the world. As long as there is an army, it is possible to achieve hegemony.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was hesitant, Chu Liuyan had been watching coldly from the sidelines. There was a little joy and a little worry in her heart. Every time she sees Zhu Yuanzhang, she will think of the story her mother wrote in the notebook, and she will also think of the words she said happily. She didn't know if those things would happen in the future. But there is one thing that is beyond doubt, that is, Zhu Chongba is no longer the Zhu Chongba he used to be, not the little gangster Zhu Chongba who climbed the wall to rob and lay on the ground and pretended to be dead. Now, he has become the commander of tens of thousands of people, and has the ambition to dominate the world.
However, if one day, Zhu Chongba really becomes the emperor, then will all the tragic things happen? Will the people who follow him really end up with a cunning rabbit and a lackey? Chu Liuyan really didn't dare to imagine. She had an idea in her mind that she wanted to find happiness and ask her what she knew.
The next day, Chu Liuyan came to Zhu Yuanzhang. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Chu Liuyan, he was very happy in his heart. Every time he can see Chu Liuyan, it is a pleasing thing for him. He still remembered that when he first saw Chu Liuyan, Chu Liuyan once cried in the suburbs of Zhongli County in order to save his father. But now, she is not the same as before. The only thing that hasn't changed is that her character is still so resolute, and she is still so capable. Also, she never liked him.
"Smoke girl, please do it." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and asked Chu Liuyan to sit down. Ma Xiuying brought tea and invited Chu Liuyan to drink tea.
After Chu Liuyan thanked Ma Xiuying, he said, "Marshal, I came to the marshal today because I wanted to tell the marshal something. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "The smoke girl is polite. The marshal was called by someone outside, and the girl who was flowing smoke also called me Brother Zhu. ”
Chu Liuyan smiled slightly, feeling a little relieved in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang was as peaceful as he was at the beginning, could it be that he would really become a violent person in the future? She tried not to let herself think about this, and said: "Brother Zhu, it's like this, last time, we sneaked up on Liao Tycoon's army, and at first came up with a way to attack with fire. However, because we were not aware of the weather changes, we could not identify the direction of the wind, so we delayed for a long time. I want to go to Qingtian, Zhejiang Province and invite Liu Bowen and Liu Gongzi. He knew astronomy, geography, the art of war, and was full of strategy. Someone once compared him to Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. I think that if I can invite Liu Gongzi, it will definitely be good for Brother Zhu to fight the country. ”
"Liu Bowen? Wolong Liu Bowen? Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed: "The smoke girl wants to invite Liu Bowen here?" This is a good idea, but I heard that Liu Bowen has resigned from the official position of the Yuan Dynasty three times, how can he come to me? We only have 20,000 troops here, but I'm afraid that his talents will be buried, or that the smoky girl will run away in vain. ”
Chu Liuyan arched his hand and said, "Brother Zhu is serious. Although Brother Zhu's power is not very big now, I believe that with Brother Zhu's righteousness and leniency, as well as the courage of his brothers, more people will definitely come to Brother Zhu. When the time comes, it is not impossible to dominate the world. And Liu Gongzi is a well-known person, and Brother Zhu knows heroes, he will definitely agree to go out of the mountain to help Brother Zhu. ”
"Good!" Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands and smiled: "In this way, there is Lao Xianmei." It's just that this trip to Qingtian, Zhejiang, is far away, and I don't feel at ease that the girl is alone. I think it's better to find someone to accompany the smoke girl, how about letting Chang Yuchun go? Lao Chang is the most righteous person, no matter what danger he encounters, he will fight for his life, and he will protect his sister thoroughly. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that Chu Liuyan would bring it up and let Xu Da accompany him, so he immediately moved Chang Yuchun out. He knew that Chang Yuchun was reckless and a rough man, and Chu Liuyan would not like him. Xu Da is different. On weekdays, watching Xu Da and Chu Liuyan go in and out of pairs, Zhu Yuanzhang was already a little unhappy in his heart, and it was impossible for him to let Chu Liuyan and Xu Da invite Liu Bowen. As for others, Lan Yu is a beautiful man, let him walk with Chu Liuyan, and Zhu Yuanzhang can't rest assured. The rest of the soup and Chang Yuchun and Zhou Dexing naturally made Chang Yuchun trustworthy.
