A month later, the city of Chuzhou was broken.

After fighting for a long time, Guo Tianxu was recalled to Haozhou by his father Guo Zixing before he could go to Chuzhou City to rest. The Five Elements Banner took over Chuzhou City, and the sect members moved over in batches.

According to the agreement, Zhao Yu ordered Chang Yuchun to lead the Five Elements Banner to join forces with the Haozhou Army to defeat the Yuan Army of the Southern Invasion and the vanguard team. Since then, Cheri has not shrunk into the camp of Huaibei, and he has not dared to come out again.

What surprised Zhao Yu was that Zhu Yuanzhang said goodbye without saying goodbye, and there were dozens of township party friends who left Haozhou with him, and they didn't know where to go.

How to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Yu felt quite embarrassed in his heart. Hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly offered advice to Guo Zixing, Zhao Yu had already given birth to a little murderous intent. He can let Liu Futong go, and he can also cooperate with Guo Zixing to give up his previous suspicions, but he is faintly jealous of Zhu Yuanzhang. This person has Liu Futong's bold delusions, and he also has Guo Zixing's shrewdness in details, the most important thing is that he is thoughtful, interlocking, and ruthless.

But his fragile alliance with Guo Zixing Fang Cheng, so he killed his generals in vain, and Guo Zixing will inevitably have other ideas. The crossing of the Five Elements Banner and the strong dragon, without Guo Zixing's sincere cooperation, would be very harmful to the next plot to celebrate. For the sake of major affairs, it doesn't matter if Zhu Yuanzhang has no soldiers and no generals.

What surprised Zhao Yu was Zhu Yuanzhang's superhuman decision, and he resolutely left when he realized that he would have no prospects in Haozhou. This departure can be said to have been knocked out of its original form, but it does not mean that it has the meaning of finding another world.

As for where Zhu Yuanzhang is going, Zhao Yu can guess more or less that it is nothing more than Henan or Xuzhou. These two are the most chaotic regions of the moment, but there are plenty of opportunities for the ambitious. Zhao Yu is not very worried about this, no matter how much this person resents himself, if he wants to realize his ambitions, the first spearhead must be pointed at the Yuan Court. In the situation where the heroes rise together, why not be afraid of a Zhu Yuanzhang.

When the last group of Ming sectarians in the Huaishang camp rushed to Chuzhou, Zhao Yu was also ready to leave, and the current situation in Chuzhou was chaotic, and it was necessary to carefully plan for stability. Before that, he had to meet someone.

Zhu Yuanzhang fled privately, which made Guo Zixing, who had suffered frustration one after another, furious, and even degraded and treated the old troops he left behind.

Xu Da was originally the commander of the only cavalry in Haozhou, and later the five hundred cavalry under his command were all merged into the Kuizi battalion under the command of Guo Tianxu, and now he has more than ten horses under the command of the cavalry commander who are responsible for raising forage for war horses. can recruit a man who is good at fighting, and rolls in the hay pile every day.

On this day, he was busy until noon, lying in the haystack, with his legs crossed, looking at the sky with a straw stalk in his mouth, enjoying the rare sunny sunshine after the rainy season.

Zhao Yu quietly walked into the forage field, stood behind Xu Da, and was quite surprised to see him look leisurely. During this time, he has seen all the generals in Haozhou, or he is full of ambition and scolds Fang Xuan, or he is cautious and cautious, but he rarely enters Xu Da's leisurely and tranquil attitude, especially as Zhu Yuanzhang's old department, the future in Haozhou is bound to be bleak.

After a while, Xu Da noticed that Zhao Yu was behind him, and hurriedly turned over and bowed his hand, but there were still many grass clippings on his clothes and hair.

Zhao Yu shook his body to the end and said sincerely: "Thank you Brother Xu for the warning in the blood book, and live the grace of ten thousand lives in my Five Elements Banner!"

Xu Da was stunned for a moment, and then hesitated: "How can the chief flag envoy identify me?"

Zhao Yu replied: "I heard about Brother Xu's night attack on Dingyuan in Haozhou, and I know that you are a person with real skills. Moreover, you and Zhu Yuanzhang are fellow villagers, with his temperament, if there is no other hidden feeling, how could he give up your talent and leave you alone in Haozhou? Besides, there are not many people I know well in Haozhou, but I have a relationship with Brother Xu, and I still have some skills to recognize people. ”

Xu Dasheng had a slightly embarrassed expression, and his expression was a little gloomy: "Flooding the tartar is a strategy I offer to Brother Zhu, but I don't want him to use it to kill each other." It's just that I didn't expect the general flag to turn over the clouds and rain, and just based on this, I turned the tables in the blink of an eye, and Brother Zhu should resent me. ”

Originally, Zhao Yu was not deeply impressed by Xu Da, and he thought for many days to determine the person who warned him. He saw that Xu Da's current situation was embarrassing, so he said, "I don't know what Brother Xu's plans are in the future?

Xu Da smiled freely and said, "Vulgar people, what ambition is there to say." Although the work in the forage field is more tedious, there is a bite to eat after a day's work, which was unimaginable in my hometown before. ”

Zhao Yu saw that his eyes were clear and did not seem to be fake, and he felt more and more surprised, only to realize that Xu Da was not only outstanding military talent, but also an open-minded and willing person. Originally, in addition to thanking Xu Da in person, he also wanted to help him change his situation in Haozhou, but after getting to know him deeply, he didn't want to let go of such a talent.

After a moment's thought, Zhao Yu said: "Guo Zixing is not strong enough, and there are talents like Brother Xu but he doesn't know how to make good use of them. The Five Elements Banner wants to raise things, and now it is thirsty for talent. Besides, Brother Xu still has a great favor with me, why don't you go to Chuzhou with me?"

Xu Da didn't think about it, so he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Such a simple answer made Zhao Yu feel extremely surprised, and he had prepared a lot of sincere and eager words in his chest, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Seeing Zhao Yu's sluggish appearance with his mouth open, Xu Da smiled: "I think I am a smart person, but I don't have much ambition. At present, he is excluded everywhere in Haozhou, but he is only nostalgic for a comfortable life. The general flag envoy personally invited, and if he wanted to come to Chuzhou, he would not treat me harshly, there was such a good place to go, if he still twisted his attitude, he was really not a son of man. ”

Hearing Xu Da's frank answer, Zhao Yu smiled dumbly, and couldn't help sighing: "Brother Xu is true temperament, but I want to go wrong." Along the way, I have been used to deceiving myself, but I have lost my true self. You are a sincere person, so I naturally have to be honest with you. I don't know much about the situation in Chuzhou, but no matter what Brother Xu wants to do, I will always leave you a place!"

After worrying, Zhao Yu and Xu Da left the forage field, and the elite of the Five Elements Banner who came to greet them went all the way south to Chuzhou.

Chuzhou water is connected to the Yangtze River, guarding the north and south, defending Jinling, crossing the river and wading through the Huai, both north and south are suitable, it is the place where the soldiers must fight, and it is the focus of Wu and Chu to fight for hegemony since the Spring and Autumn Period. Although the armament of this place has been slack since the Yuan Dynasty, if it is attacked with the strength of the Five Elements Banner itself, it is bound to suffer heavy losses. From the attack on Chuzhou alone, Zhu Yuanzhang, who strongly encouraged Guo Zixing to send troops, can be regarded as a great favor to Zhao Yu.

When Zhao Yu arrived in Chuzhou, the place had initially stabilized. Liu Bowen and others, who were one step ahead, made every effort to stabilize Chuzhou, on the one hand, they set an example to reassure the people, ordered the soldiers not to disturb the people, and on the other hand, opened warehouses to help the people and stabilize prices.

Chuzhou City is still the old city of the Song Dynasty, so the Song Dynasty ministers Ouyang Xiu and Xin Qiji were all officials here, so after a long period of war, this city can still maintain a little residual charm of literature and ink. Although the local gentry had a lot of complaints about the Ming stronghold, they were able to remain calm and did not cause turmoil.

After Zhao Yu arrived, he was quickly overwhelmed by a series of affairs that needed to be dealt with. Although Liu Bowen, Du Zundao and others can help, Zhao Yu still has to understand many matters in the military and civilian management, at least he must have a concept in his heart. Once he threw himself into it, he felt that compared to these things, no matter how advanced the martial arts secrets were, even if he forgot to sleep and eat, the things that could be dealt with every day still couldn't offset the new things, and there was a sense of endlessness.

In this sea case, Zhao Yu finally decided to get out of this quagmire and prepare to hand it over to the right people to do. Then, he suddenly realized that there were very few people available to him. Zhuang Zheng and others are responsible for the training of the Five Elements Banner Elite Camp, but when it comes to taking care of one side, it is even worse than Zhao Yu.

He was going to visit the local gentry and recruit the talented among them to manage Chuzhou, but he didn't know that he had a closed door at the first stop.

The men and sisters who had been sent to deliver the prayers stood helplessly at the foot of the hall, their clothes torn by swords, criss-crossed and uncovered.

Zhao Yu pinched the dusty post, his face suddenly gloomy, and he said in a condensed voice: "So, it was the Wudang Six Heroes Yin Li Pavilion who drove you out of the door?"

The soldier hurriedly replied, "Yes...... That Yin Li Pavilion guarded the door and didn't even let us in, so he threw out the worship post, and said that if our demons and Mingjiao dared to harass Lord Ye again, he would kill people......"

"Heh! What a Wudang Six Heroes Yin Li Pavilion! Prepare a horse, I want to go and see it for myself. Zhao Yu sneered, grabbed the prayer post and walked outside the hall.
