Immediately, someone stepped forward and dragged Sima Changfeng back. Before Sima Changfeng could figure out what the situation was, he was already tied up in a sturdy knot, like a big meat dumpling. Sima Changfeng's eyes widened and asked, "What's going on?" Brother Chongba, didn't you say that you invited me to taste the famous dishes? Why did you treat me like this? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled coldly and said, "Brother Sima, have you forgotten that there are no good dishes in the so-called dishes, and there is no good banquet in the banquet?" You can't even think that this is a Hongmen banquet, but you only think about your appetite, and being caught is not wronged for you. Brother Sima, you know how I treat you, but how do you treat me? You keep saying that you want to give me the army, but in fact? You lied to me that after three days, I waited for three days, and when the three-day period came, you pretended not to do so. Since the soft ones can't work, I have to come to the hard ones. You forced me to do this, so don't blame me. ”

Sima Changfeng listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and then realized that Zhu Yuanzhang had come to settle accounts with him. He suffered this humiliation inexplicably, not to mention how much he had in his heart, but now if he offends Zhu Yuanzhang, he is afraid that he will not be able to get out of this camp.

Sima Changfeng snorted and said, "Brother Chongba, if you have something to say." We're all good brothers, what's the big deal. If you're not satisfied, just let me know if I can think of another way. It's not good for us to catch me like that, is it? Why should such a trivial matter hurt the harmony of our brothers? ”

"Sima Changfeng, you don't lie here to confuse the public, and you are quibbling with words. If you don't want to hurt the peace, hand over your 3,000 men immediately, and the boss will definitely let you go! If you dare to disobey, I will not let you go in the first spring! Chang Yuchun shouted.

Sima Changfeng was also very dissatisfied with what Chang Yuchun said. He snorted and said, "Chang Yuchun, are you threatening me?" I, Sima Changfeng, am I threatened by others? I just don't hand over my people, I think you can do it? Could it be that you can still kill me? In that case, you're really going to have nothing left! Sima Changfeng threatened Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

Chu Liuyan smiled and said, "General Sima, our General Zhu invited you to be a guest, how could he kill you?" What's more, the matter of the 3,000 men and horses will not bother you to worry about. Our general will give you an order for General Sima and order the army to be attached. When Chu Liuyan said these words, the clouds were light and light, but Sima Changfeng was glaring at him and angry.

Zhu Yuanzhang then sent an order, and issued an order in the name of Sima Changfeng to let Zhangjiabao's 3,000 men and horses return to obedience. The second boss of Zhangjiabao saw that the boss went to other people's territory to drink, and now he didn't come back, but only sent someone back to pass the order, just if it was true, he immediately ordered his subordinates to take care of everything, and returned to Zhu Yuanzhang with 3,000 men.

After everything was in order, the second master was allowed to meet Sima Changfeng and learned the whole story. But it's a foregone conclusion, and there's no way to change it. They had no choice but to join Zhu Yuanzhang together.

After having the first army, Zhu Yuanzhang began to become ambitious. And Xu Da, Chu Liuyan, Li Shanchang and others also deeply felt that the number of troops was too small, and if they wanted to be able to dominate the world, they must have a strong and huge army.

So, Zhu Yuanzhang gathered his advisers together to discuss this issue, how to organize a strong team in the short term.

Chang Yuchun said; "Boss, I see, you give me a thousand men of Lao Chang, let me go around to fight, and take more prisoners, so that our army will gradually become stronger."

Chang Yuchun's ridiculous suggestion was quickly rejected by everyone. The first is Xu Da, who said: "We want to build an army, we must not rely only on prisoners, it is all captive army, how should this battle be fought?" In my opinion, it is better to take a long-term view of this matter. ”

Li Shanchang then said: "I think so too. The key to the ability of an army lies in whether it is home. What if all the people are not in unison, and there are many of them? I resolutely do not agree with this method. Think of something else. ”

"Wait!" Chu Liuyan pondered for a while and said, "I think what I often say is not unreasonable. ”

Chang Yuchun was depressed, and when he heard Chu Liuyan say this, he became happy again, and said, "How is it?" What do you think? You see, the smoke girls are all behind me. You all think that I am always an elm pimple head, but the smoke girl knows that I am always very good. Hum. Chang Yuchun said with some indignation.

"Smoke, do you think the old saying makes sense?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled. With his understanding of Chu Liuyan, he knew that Chu Liuyan was not sure of something, and he would never say it. However, she actually agreed with Chang Yuchun's proposal, which seemed a bit absurd.

Chu Liuyan smiled slightly, as if she had already made up her mind, and she said: "I also agree with Brother Xu and Brother Li's heart-to-heart statement. It's just that if a soldier returns to his heart, it must be a soldier. If there are no soldiers, how can they return to their hearts? It is not entirely unreasonable to say that you should go and catch some captives and come back. There are some strong soldiers and horses, although they can't fight, and what about some people who are not ready to return to their hearts? For example, Liao Tycoon in Hengjian Mountain. He claims to have 20,000 elite soldiers, and I have heard many people mention that this man is not a soldier, so why don't we think of a way to bring his army under our control? ”

"Okay, okay," Chang Yuchun was very happy when he heard Chu Liuyan agree with his idea, so he shouted: "Since this is the case, I also have a good way." Wouldn't it be better for us to invite him to drink, and then have his men bring the soldiers over to us? When Chang Yuchun said these words, he looked very excited.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how to say it, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "Old Chang, do you know that there is a word called flexibility?" You can't generalize, you have to take things as they are. The reason why Sima Changfeng was able to surrender the army to us was that he didn't want it in the first place, and in addition, he was our fellow countryman and didn't guard against us, so we built a cheap one for nothing. That Liao tycoon shouldn't be such an easy person to deal with. ”

"That's right," Lan Yu said, "Speaking of this Liao tycoon, I think of one thing. When the Yuan army was besieging the city of Bozhou, Liao Daheng once came to the outside of Bozhou with his army, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity. It's just that he was unlucky, and he didn't take advantage of anything. And because of this, the army was tired, and the soldiers complained. ”

"Oh, I see." Chang Yuchun suddenly realized and said: "So, this Liao tycoon is not so easy to deal with?" So what should we do? In my opinion, we can still fight them. You know, when it comes to war, I'm always the best at it. Chang Yuchun shouted with a big grin.

"Brother Chang is right, this battle must be fought, and it must not be avoided." Chu Liuyan once again agreed with Chang Yuchun's opinion: "It's just that the key is how to fight this battle." In my opinion, we only have 3,000 men and horses, and the opponent has 20,000 strong soldiers and horses, so we can only outwit the enemy, not the enemy. I think that now Liao Daheng never expected that we would deal with him, so we have to surprise and attack him unprepared, so that we can be invincible and invincible. We sent troops at night to take him by surprise. ”

Chu Liuyan's idea won everyone's unanimous approval. Xu Da said: "I still have an opinion, it's better to be like this, Hengjian Mountain, the terrain is more familiar to me. Liao Tycoon's army was stationed in the valley below the mountain, and that valley was an easy place to defend and difficult to attack. In my opinion, it is better for us to attack with fire. As long as the fire burns in, Liao Daheng's subordinates can't think of it, and they can't do it. When the time comes, our men and horses will take advantage of the chaos to pursue, and we will be able to wipe them out. ”

"Good! Just do it! Zhu Yuanzhang agreed: "Just do what Liuyan and Xu Da said." Then, Tiande, this battle will be left to you to fight. In the spring, you and the Smoke Girl are responsible for leading people to set fires, Tiande, you and Lan Yu lead the men and horses to attack. Whether it can succeed or not is up to you. ”

Xu Da, Lan Yu, Chang Yuchun and Chu Liuyan agreed and made their own preparations. Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Xu Da and Chu Liuyan could have a trick every time, and they could cooperate seamlessly every time, as if they had a heart, and couldn't help but feel very emotional.

Chu Liuyan and Chang Yuchun's fire attack was quickly prepared, but they couldn't carry it out for seven days. It turned out that the valley of Hengjian Mountain was in the northwest, and only a northwest wind could spread the fire, but for seven days, the southeast wind blew at night. This made Zhu Yuanzhang very anxious.
