Chen Wen said with a smile: "This place is quite famous in history, and further north is Qiligang, where Gao Huan defeated Er Zhu Zhao." ”

"Where we are now, it is said that Han Xin used to have soldiers here, so it is called Hanling Mountain, so our village is called Hanwang Village."

"How did these cows, sheep and horses get in?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

"There is a trail to the north, only more than a zhang wide, and it is also in the middle of the two mountains, and the fathers planted a lot of trees in the middle of Qiligang."

"After decades, they have become towering trees, blocking the view, so few people know where to get in."

"We have processed and covered up and made a lot of fake graves over there, so ordinary people rarely come here."

When there were dead people in the village, they buried them in the valley, and built a lot of false graves outside, giving people the feeling of a wild ownerless grave, a very old grave, and they never cleaned up the weeds around them.

Even if the officials and soldiers came in and saw these broken graves, they thought they were old graves that had been buried for dozens or hundreds of years, giving people a gloomy feeling.

"Are any of you literate?" Zhu Gaoxu asked suddenly.

Because he felt that Chen Wen was literate.

"Men and women, young and old, all know how to read and write." Chen Wen said proudly.

“。。” Zhu Gaoxu was a little incredible.

It turns out that they have been taught by literate teachers for decades, and there are still three dedicated teachers in the village, and all the children have to study every other day.

Chen Wen and the others are young and strong, and they often read military books and practice bows and arrows.

When Zhu Gaoxu listened, he knew that some people here were unwilling to be in the cottage and were ready to go out of the mountain at any time.

There was no good opportunity before, but this time I met Zhu Gaoxu, and finally seized the opportunity, for example, this Chen Wen obviously didn't want to stay in the mountains for the rest of his life.

Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a moment, he had already guessed what these people were, the ancestors were either Chen Youliang or Zhang Shicheng's people, and they all wished that the world would be in chaos and the Ming Dynasty would die.

If you use it well, you will be a strong reinforcement, and if you use it badly, you may turn against yourself in the future.

But Zhu Gaoxu really needs such a person, they are not loyal enough to Daming, they are bold, and they dare to do anything.

If you can't subdue them, then you don't have the ability?

Just when Zhu Gaoxu was thinking about whether Chen Wen could be relied on, what to say.

Suddenly.

Someone in front of me shouted, "Daddy, Daddy." A girl about ten years old waved her hand at Chen Wen from afar.

It turned out to be his daughter.

There was a room in front of me with a lot of people outside, as if something had happened.

"Let's go, go over and have a look." Chen Wen hurriedly ran over with Zhu Gaoxu.

Many people are calling him, and they are still talking about Uncle Chen.

"Not good." Chen Wen's face changed drastically.

He rushed over to squeeze through the crowd, but saw an old man clutching his throat, his expression was very painful, and there was gossip all around, what the villagers were saying.

Zhu Gaoxu quickly heard clearly that Chen Bo was Chen Wen's father, and it seemed that he was stuck in his throat after eating.

"Father." Chen Wen tried his best to knock behind Uncle Chen's back, but Uncle Chen couldn't breathe, his face became more and more ugly, he rolled his eyes when he saw it, and foamed at the mouth as soon as he saw it.

"Get out of the way." Zhu Gaoxu took three steps and two steps, pushed Chen Wen away, he stood firmly in the posture of arching his front legs and landing on his hind legs, and then sat Chen Bo on his back on his arched thighs and let his body lean forward slightly. Then wrap your hands and arms around Uncle Chen's waist, make a fist with your right hand, place the side of the tiger's mouth close to Uncle Chen's upper abdomen, and then cover the fist of your right hand with your left hand, and repeat the heavy pressure on Uncle Chen's upper abdomen with the tiger's mouth.

After several times in a row.

"Ahem, wow--- ah---" Uncle Chen's mouth opened, fluttered, and spit out a finger-sized date.

"Father." When Chen Wen saw that Uncle Chen was saved, he was surprised and delighted, and almost burst into tears.

The surrounding villagers also looked at Zhu Gaoxu with admiration.

Uncle Chen is a highly respected elder in their village, the village head, and a teacher, who is very respected by everyone.

I saw Chen Wen bow down again: "The grace of the prince to save his life, Chen Wen will never forget each other, and swear to follow him." ”

"Hurry up, please." Zhu Gaoxu laughed and helped him up, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly and earnestly: "The so-called early come, it is better to come by coincidence, it seems that this may be a predestined thing in the dark, the destiny of heaven let us meet here, this is the will of God, the arrangement of fate, this king is very honored, and very happy, to know you." ”

For the ancients, Zhu Gaoxu knew that they were very fond of metaphysics.

He had to tell these people that he was destined by heaven, and that they and himself were destined and arranged by God.

Sure enough, when Zhu Gaoxu said this, Chen Wen and several young people around him looked much more serious.

When they communicated with Zhu Gaoxu again, everyone's expressions were obviously more respectful.

Zhu Gaoxu walked around the village, and finally called Chen Wen aside alone.

"This place is still useful, and we can't all move to Beiping."

Chen Wen nodded and listened intently.

"There are victories and defeats in battles, and this king does not dare to guarantee that his father will succeed, if he loses the war, this king may also hide here." Zhu Gaoxu said deliberately.

What he meant was to leave a way back.

In fact, Zhu Gaoxu has other plans, this place may be useful in the future, and it cannot be discarded.

Chen Wen didn't think much about it, and clenched his fists and said, "But according to the prince's orders, how many people should we keep?" How many people should go? ”

"Select some elites to bring their families with us, and leave a resourceful and steady person to stay."

"Those who stay, practice more often for later use."

Zhu Gaoxu gave a good order, and Chen Wen agreed one by one.

At last they took counsel and took away more than eighty men, fifty-two of whom were strong men, and some women and children.

There were more than 200 people left behind.

They will leave in two batches, Chen Wen, Song Meng, Zhou Hu and Zhu Gaoxu will go first.

Yang Lishan, Yao Gai and they led a large team of men and horses and slowly followed behind.

Zhou Hu is the thick man who uses an axe.

That Song Meng is a young man who is very powerful with a bow, nineteen years old this year, and within a hundred steps, there is no missing arrow.

But his bow was only two stones, and it was not as powerful as Zhu Gaoxu.

Chen Wen was very disciplined, first assigned the people who led the team behind, told him some affairs, and then brought dry food and weapons, and Zhou Hu, Song Meng, and Zhu Gaoxu took the lead.

Zhu Gaoxu saw that his command and distribution were orderly, and secretly praised him.

Before leaving.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Chen Wen, and then looked back at the generals: "I believe in this king, in a few years, you will definitely be proud of today's decision." ”

"History and history books will also record your wisdom."

"Let's go, drive." Zhu Gaoxu rode the dust.

Chen Wen and the others listened with great confidence and their eyes were attentive.

----

Outside the county seat of Gu'an County.

Qu Neng and his sons Qu Yu and Qu Taosan were riding horses by the Lugou River.

The three of them, father and son, used the fast horses of the 800-mile post station all the way to Zhuoluyi near Zhuozhou before 10 May.

Zhuozhou is the important place for Hebei to enter Beijing, and there are not only Zhuolu posts here, but also Zhuolu three guards stationed.

After Qu Neng arrived at Zhuolu Station, he didn't go to alarm the guards and horses of Zhuolu Sanwei, and quietly changed the horses of the post station and came to Gu'an.
