Early in the morning of the second day, Guo Zixing beat the drums and gathered the generals, and first continued to ask about the matter of Tokto, and the second batch of Tanma had already reported, saying that the Toktoku army had marched more than 400 miles in one night, and now it was on the Jining Road.

After listening to the report of Tanma, Guo Zixing was completely relieved, and asked about the news in the Tartar court, and Peng Da, who was in charge of the eyeliner of the court, said: "The rumors I am listening to now seem to say that the Tartar Emperor listens to the words of that Ha Ma in everything, and although Ru Zhongbai and others have been risking their lives, it is useless. This Tartar Emperor seems to be determined to cure his sins. "

"Hahaha. Guo Zixing laughed out loud when he heard this, looked at everyone and said loudly: "If there is no such a mediocre emperor, how can we achieve today's things? Speaking of which, we should also thank this Tartar Emperor, and the generals will talk about it? Haha." "

Tang He's words can be said to be quite bold, Tokhtar is the No. 1 strong enemy of the righteous army, and Tang He, as a general of the rebel army, dares to appreciate Tokhtar in public. However, everyone in the rebels was reckless, and everyone didn't think much about it, and no one cared about it.

Guo Zixing slapped his thigh and echoed loudly: "Isn't it! What General Tang said is exactly the same as the old man thought, it is really a waste to get rid of this once-in-a-century talent and put it in the Tartars." "

Everyone sighed for a while, Peng Dayi blinked his eyes and saw Zhu Chongba standing in the last row, and said loudly: "Dashuai, this time Brother Zhu has made such a great achievement, he is witty and resolute, and he is really the true character of a general." There is a shortage of such talents in our army, and the last general proposed that now that the former army is lacking an adjutant general, it is better to let Brother Zhu bother more and take up this post. I don't know if I will succumb to Brother Zhu's great talent!"

Peng Da's words actually hit Guo Zixing's arms, Guo Zixing praised Peng Da's cleverness in his heart, but he said: "Although Zhu Chongba is the son-in-law of the old man, he is still young, how can he take on such a heavy responsibility as a deputy general, I don't think it's appropriate!"

Peng Da said again: "Since ancient times, Juxian has not avoided relatives, and it cannot be said that because Guo Dashuai is the father-in-law of Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu cannot be reused." If that's the case, then Yue Yun and Li Shimin will never be able to be reused, if that's the case, they won't be able to achieve the eternal hegemony of the Tang Dynasty.

Just now, Dashuai also said that Brother Zhu is young, and throughout the ages, there are countless examples of young people achieving great things. Na Ganluo, Zhou Yu is not young, and he takes on a heavy responsibility.

The most important thing is that Brother Zhu is now a piece of jade, he is willing to learn, dare to act, these two points are enough, temper it, and he will definitely be able to shine. "

When everyone heard Peng Dayi's words, they all echoed it, saying that it was easy to get a thousand troops, but it was difficult to find a general. Now is the time to employ people, how can we put the available talents and abandon them?

There were different opinions, and Guo Zixing had no choice but to say: "Since everyone thinks so much that Zhu Chongba can be qualified for the post of deputy general, Lao Fa can't just go his own way and waste talents." However, Zhu Chongba still has to try it out for a while, acting as a deputy general first, and then it will be too late to officially take up the post after everyone approves it. "

Zhu Chongba hurriedly knelt down to thank him, stood up, and thanked the generals around him.

Peng Da sighed with emotion: "The marshal is so strict with his son-in-law, and he has to try it out first to serve as a deputy general, which is really an example for me!"

Everyone echoed for a while, gossiping, and praised Guo Zixing as no different from a saint. Guo Zixing was modest at first, but then touched his beard and stopped talking.

In the afternoon, Zhu Chongba went to the front army to report, Guo Zixing's army had a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses, mainly divided into five parts, namely the front army, the middle guard army, the left Tao battalion and the right leopard battalion, and a more special one, called the pro-soldier battalion.

Among the five major military camps, the Central Guard Army is the largest, with more than 80,000 people, which is under the command of Guo Zixing himself, and Chang Yuchun and General Zhao Feifeng both belong to the Central Guard Army. The second is the Zuo Tao Battalion and the Right Leopard Battalion, each with about 40,000 people, which are under the command of Tang He and Deng Yu respectively. The former army was mainly responsible for opening up the road, building bridges in the water, opening roads in the mountains, and finding out news, etc., there were about 35,000 people, and the person in charge was Peng Da himself. There is also a pro-soldier battalion, which is mainly responsible for Guo Zixing's safety, with a small number of people, about 5,000 people, and is led by General Wang, the head of the pro-soldiers.

Peng Da took the lead and included Zhu Chongba in his army as a deputy general today, which cannot but be said to be well-intentioned.

The former army tent was in a compound in the north of Haozhou City, which was originally the residence of a salt merchant, and after the rebels occupied Haozhou City, those rich and wealthy people were killed one by one, and their family property and houses were naturally owned by the rebels.

After Zhu Chongba arrived at the front army tent, everyone had already gathered in the hall, Peng Da with all the deputy generals, tooth generals and staff generals were waiting for him, as soon as Zhu Chongba arrived, Peng Da took his hand with a smile and said loudly: "Generals, our front army now has another deputy general, he is our Guo Dashuai's Chenglong fast son-in-law, General Zhu Chongba, everyone has seen it quickly." "

Ladies and gentlemen, wait for the generals, it turned out to be Guo Zixing's son-in-law, so it was okay, no wonder Peng Da treated him like this. They hugged each other, and they each saw the courtesy, and they inevitably said kind words to take care of each other. Although these people's official positions are smaller than their own, at most they are equivalent to themselves, but Zhu Chongba did not dare to be the slightest slack, and he saw them one by one.

After everyone had seen the salute, Peng Da said loudly again: "Everyone, now everyone knows that the 500,000 troops who escaped have withdrawn to the capital, and our Haozhou City has survived the difficulties without danger, have you ever thought about who made such a great contribution? Who saved our lives?"

As soon as Peng Da said this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Zhu Chongba, and they couldn't believe it, could it really be that this young man who was not yet established had made such a great achievement?

Seeing that everyone seemed to understand a little, Peng Dayi waved his hand and said, "Yes, everyone's guess is good." It is the General Zhu in front of you who has made such miraculous achievements. He was first willing to take a risk, fought with the general Zhao Junyong, rescued Guo Dashuai and General Tang He, and then skillfully discovered the enemy's vanguard, the hiding place of the 200,000 army, told us at the first time, and provided information, so we set up a surprise army, killed the enemy overnight, alarmed the Tartar Emperor, and the Tartar Emperor passed the decree overnight and recalled the 500,000 army of Tokto. If it weren't for General Zhu, would all of us be able to stand here and speak unharmed now, it would be a matter of five or five. "

As soon as Peng Da said this, everyone suddenly realized that there were too many strange things in the past few days, and everyone was inexplicable and confused. Now I understood.

It turns out that this is the case, when everyone looks at Zhu Chongba again this time, there is a little more respect and gratitude in their eyes, originally everyone is still because Zhu Chongba just climbed the high branches and married Guo Zixing's daughter, so he rose to prominence, but it turned out that this was not the case.

After talking for a while, in fact, it has just returned to normal now, and there are many things to be discussed and formulated for the next step, so there is nothing to do with the army for a while, just ordinary matters, just do it step by step, Peng Da arranged a defensive task for Zhu Chongba, and when the army began to advance, it would be arranged separately. After a while, everyone went home.

Zhu Chongba just got married, and he didn't have his own mansion for the time being, so he moved to Guo Zixing's mansion first, and Ma Xiuying's boudoir was the wedding room for the two first.

Zhu Chongba returned home and told Ma Xiuying about today's events, Ma Xiuying sighed: "This Peng Da is really a roundworm in my father's stomach, no matter what my father thinks, he can guess it, and he can do things according to my father's expectations, but he is really a powerful person!"

Zhu Chongba also felt that this old Peng Da was scheming and scheming, and no one in the army could match him. Both of them feel that Peng Da's current currying favor with Zhu Chongba is nothing more than indirectly currying favor with Guo Zixing, although for Zhu Chongba, there are only benefits for the time being, and there is no harm, but in the long run, this person must be guarded against.

After talking for a while, Ma Xiuying suddenly said: "Husband, your name is not good, if you were before, it wouldn't matter, but now that you are a former deputy general, it will be unlimited in the future, so you can't still call this name." "

In fact, Zhu Chongba had already felt that his name was too indecent, so he said: "Madam, the name Chongba is because I was born on August 8, so I casually gave such a name, it is indeed very indecent, I have long wanted to change the name, what name does Madame think is appropriate?"

Ma Xiuying smiled when she heard this and said: "When you went to be on duty today, I went to find the master and discussed this matter with him, and the master also strongly agreed, and we spent a day of work to finally think of a good name for you, and I told my father in the afternoon, and he was also very satisfied." "

Seeing Ma Xiuying's happy and proud appearance, Zhu Chongba hurriedly asked curiously: "Oh? Father-in-law is also Chen Zan, what is the name of that? Xiuying, tell me quickly." "

Ma Xiuying tilted her head, and said in a coquettish voice: "Listen up, your name is Zhu Yuanzhang!"

"Zhu Yuanzhang!Zhu Yuanzhang!" Zhu Chongba muttered to himself a few times, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this name was loud and atmospheric, clapped his hands, and said loudly: "Good name, I will be called Zhu Yuanzhang in the future!"

Who knows, just such a smile, actually laughed out a legendary emperor through the ages!
