In the early morning of the second day, as the sun slowly rises under the mountain, the morning sun shines on the earth.

The Yuan army camp opposite Haozhou City began to retreat.

The camp tents were heavy, grain, grass and weapons, and began to be loaded.

An hour later, the entire battalion was cleaned up.

At this time, General Chagatai suddenly came to Timur's side and asked, "Lord Zhongtang, all the supplies have been packed, should I send someone to the front to explore the way now?" ”

Tokhtar shook his head and said, "Let's go." ”

Chagatai said: "Yes! ”

A moment later, the entire Yuan army began to set off.

Next to the hills and woods north of Haozhou City, Qi Heng, who was sleeping soundly in the tent, was suddenly woken up.

When I opened my eyes, I immediately saw Xu Da's black face.

"Brother Qi, Brother Qi, wake up!"

Thinking of last night's events, Qi Heng's sleepiness disappeared immediately, but when he saw the ecstasy on Xu Da's black face, he already knew it in his heart.

"The Yuan army has retreated?"

When Xu Da heard this, he no longer hid the joy in his heart, and said excitedly: "Brother Qi, you are really godly, the Yuan army has really retreated!" ”

"I sent people who were outside to observe the movements of the Yuan army to report back, and the Yuan army all left early in the morning and headed north."

Hearing this, Qi Heng endured the joy in his heart and continued to ask: "Didn't send someone to investigate again, did the Yuan army really retreat or retreat to another place?" ”

Xu Dadao: "Sent, the Yuan army really left this time, and now it is estimated that it has left for several miles." ”

After getting the final result, Qi Heng's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked behind him and said, "What should you do, I'll sleep again, I haven't had a good night's sleep in days." ”

Xu Da said with a smile on his face: "Okay, Brother Qi, you can sleep, your brain needs to rest well, it's really a good thing." ”

With that, he left Qi Heng's tent.

And Qi Heng listened to Xu Da's words, but sat up suddenly, looking at his back as he left and scolding.

Outside the tent.

The excited Xu Da couldn't wait to let everyone know the news of the Yuan army's withdrawal, he grabbed a soldier next to him, and whether it was his own subordinate or not, and said directly: "Go, go back to the city and tell my eldest brother that the Yuan army has withdrawn!" ”

The soldier nodded with the same smile on his face, turned around and ran towards the city of Haozhou.

At the same time, on the tower of Haozhou City.

As the nominal commander of Haozhou City today, Zhu Yuanzhang is the one who can sleep.

He came to the city gate tower early, and he witnessed the whole process of the Yuan army's retreat.

However, compared with Xu Da, although Zhu Yuanzhang has a smile on his face, it is not to the extent of being publicized everywhere.

Just when the joy in his heart had nowhere to vent, the soldiers sent by Xu Da happened to come to the city tower.

"Marshal, Mr. Xu Qian asked me to come to report and say that the Yuan army has withdrawn."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile when he heard it: "Okay! I know, you go and tell Xu Da, let him come back quickly, and when he comes back, we will give them a drink to celebrate! ”

"Yes!"

....................

Because the retreat of the Yuan army was not deliberately concealed, the news soon spread throughout Haozhou City.

At this time, Guo Tianxu and Li Shanchang, who were eating breakfast in the hall of Guo's mansion, suddenly came to a soldier in front of them and said, "Young marshal, Mr. Li, the Yuan army has withdrawn!" ”

Guo Tianxu, who was still drinking porridge with a spoon, suddenly fell into the bowl with the spoon in his hand.

He got up directly in front of the soldier, grabbed him by the collar, and said, "What did you just say?" ”

The soldier looked at Guo Tianxu's expression, and the whole person was stunned.

For a moment, I didn't know whether the news was good or bad.

Hesitantly, he said, "Young marshal... I just said that the Yuan army has withdrawn....."

When Guo Tianxu heard this again, he loosened the collar in his hand, got up slowly, and muttered with an incredible face: "The Yuan army is retreating?" ”

At this time, Li Shanchang at the dinner table was also confused.

He looked at the soldier and asked, "Where did you get this news from, is it true?" Do you know why the Yuan army retreated? ”

The soldier felt the gazes of Guo Tianxu and Li Shanchang, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, but this news came down from the city tower, and I heard that Zhu Dashuai also asked Xu Da outside the city to come back quickly and give them a drink to celebrate." ”

Hearing this, Li Shanchang said with a solemn face: "Young marshal, I'm afraid that the Yuan army has really retreated." ”

Guo Tianxu wandered left and right in the hall, waved his hand, and drove the soldier who reported the news out, and saw that there was no one in the hall, so he said: "Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has really retreated from the Yuan army, once the news spreads, he will be in the limelight in Haozhou City for a while." ”

Speaking of this, he secretly glanced at Li Shanchang, pretended to be sad, and said, "I'm just afraid..... The forces that my father fought hard to defeat will be occupied by that Zhu Yuanzhang dove. ”

Looking at Guo Tianxu's distressed appearance, although Li Shanchang felt the same way, he always had in his mind what Qi Heng said in front of him yesterday and in front of the generals of the entire Haozhou City.

originally thought that this was just a boasting child, but now, he really fulfilled his previous promise and retreated the 100,000 troops outside the city without a single soldier.

Thinking of the scene when he saw this Qi Heng in the future, Li Shanchang felt that his face was dull and ashamed.

Just when Li Shanchang was thinking, he suddenly felt that his legs were grabbed, and when he looked down, he saw that Guo Tianxu was kneeling in front of him, crying: "Please also ask Mr. to save me!" ”

Although Li Shanchang got close to Guo Zixing after coming to Haozhou City, since Guo Zixing's death, he had the idea of leaving. ，

Because he also knows very well that this Guo Tianxu is not a master.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was really embarrassed to reply, and he was in a dilemma for a while, so he was ready to leave secretly.

However, he was forcibly stopped by Guo Tianxu.

Now looking at Guo Tianxu, who was dead-faced in front of him, Li Shanchang was also full of helplessness.

"Young marshal, hurry up, let's just say something, what does this look like now?"

Guo Tianxu pretended to cry, pulled Li Shanchang to death, and said, "Please also ask Mr. to promise to save me!" Otherwise, the day Zhu Yuanzhang becomes the commander of Haozhou City will be the time when Tianxu dies! ”

Li Shanchang was also irritated by Guo Tianxu, and said: "I'm just a scholar, and I can't help the chicken, where is there a way to help the young marshal you." ”

Hearing Li Shanchang's words, Guo Tianxu raised his head as if he was waiting for this moment, and said: "Sir, you and Zhu Yuanzhang have always had a good relationship, as long as you persuade you, then Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely sell your face." ”

"In this way, Mr. go and tell Zhu Yuanzhang that the righteous army belongs to King Xiao Ming, since this is the case, we will listen to King Xiao Ming's opinion, King Xiao Ming canonizes whoever ascends the throne, we will be the commander, and no one can regret it. If King Xiaoming canonizes Zhu Yuanzhang as handsome, I, Guo Tianxu, don't say a word, just leave Haozhou City, and don't fight with him again, how about it? ”
