In the spring of the sixteenth year of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the situation in the world can be called treacherous.

After the fifteenth year of the Zhizheng year, Li Chahan, the king of Ruyang, had stabilized the situation in the north, but Zhao Wuxian, the leader of the chaotic army and thieves, issued a summoning order for the Northern Expedition, which led the Red Turban Army in the world to rise up in the north, and the situation in the north festered for thousands of miles!

The elite of the Yuan army was exhausted, and the armies from all walks of life rushed to the aid of Bianliang, although they were exhausted, but they were beyond the reach of the whip after all. In the summer of this year, Liu Futong, who had been attacking Bianliang for several months, finally conquered the city gate and waved his army into the city!

The world is shaking!

Bianliang is the old capital of the Song Dynasty, although the Yuan court has won the world for nearly a hundred years, but because of the many oppressions of the Han people, it has always been unpopular. At the beginning of the anti-Yuan campaign, although the rebels from all walks of life continued to fight and kill, they were still afraid of the Mongolian elite soldiers who swept the world, and there was not much hope. However, the fall of Bianliang exposed the weakness of the Yuan court, and the people's hearts were greatly boosted, and everyone in the world knew that the time for the Han Dynasty to revitalize again had finally arrived!

Liu Futong is also famous, and he has been in the limelight for a while. Although Bianliang lost his troops in the first battle and suffered a lot of losses, he also gained a lot of money. In particular, he sits in the city, recruits teachers from all over the world to invest, and gathers hundreds of thousands of heroes without turning his heels, even if there is no promise of Zhao Yu to go down to Bianliang first to serve him as the coach of the red scarf, at this time he has also become the uncrowned king, admired by the world, and reached the peak of his life!

However, the new commander of the Red Turban Army is really in a bad mood at the moment, although he has won Bianliang, but most of the descendants in his hands have been lost, and the newly attached army seems to be powerful, but the combat power is really worrying. In addition, the number of passers-by of the Yuan Dynasty all moved to Bianliang, and he was worried about the posture of not recovering Bianliang and vowing not to give up.

Sitting in the Bianliang Marshal's mansion, after discussing with the generals, Liu Futong was physically and mentally exhausted, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

After several years of fighting, although the results were remarkable, Liu Futong gradually felt that his mental strength was weak. His cheeks sank deeply, his sideburns were gray, and he no longer had the kind appearance of a rich man. Four years ago, he took advantage of the momentum of all parties to drive the Five Elements Banner out of Yingzhou in one fell swoop, and truly mastered all the power of the Yingzhou Branch. What followed was not a one-time scene, but a daily trembling, tired of dealing with the cold offensive of the Yuan soldiers.

Every time the Five Elements Banner made a little achievement in Chuzhou, his heart seemed to be poked with a knife, and at this point he understood that Zhao Wuxian refused his own solicitation without even thinking about it, and deliberately erected himself as a target in the Central Plains to gain time for him to calmly arrange for development! Not long ago, he listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's suggestion and stretched out his tentacles to Haozhou to prepare to unify the north, and what followed was Zhao Yu's counterattack.

Just as Zhao Yu valued Jiqing, Bianliang was also the place where Liu Futong was bound to gain his foundation! A summoning order forced him to attack Bianliang in advance. After succeeding by luck, he suddenly found that he was targeted by Zhao Yu again this time, and the Yuan army in the north was attracted to Bianliang, and the situation was even more severe than when he was defeated last year. However, the Chuzhou army took this opportunity to fight steadily in the south of the Yangtze River, and tried to celebrate step by step.

If possible, Liu Futong really wants to change places with Zhao Yu. It's a pity that this is just idle delusion, he has been put on the stove, and he can only move forward step by step, and if he is not careful, he will drink hatred!

When I was feeling upset, an old letter suddenly broke into my eyes. This is Shaolin's intelligence that called on the people to raise troops to protect the temple, Shaolin is deep-rooted, and the potential is really beyond Liu Futong's imagination, and more than 10,000 people have gathered in just a few months! Although Shaolin has made an agreement with Yuanzhen to repair a special letter to explain that this move is all to resist the demon king, Liu Futong still feels very uneasy in his heart. At this time, he realized the wrath of the Demon Lord when he and the Heavenly Eagle Sect plotted against Haozhou, although he had not yet occupied the Shaolin in western Henan, the Shaolin soldiers would inevitably threaten his foundation in southern Henan!

Liu Futong is a rebel expert, and he is very familiar with the various stages of the rebel army from its inception to the uprising, even if Shaolin has no ambition to dominate the world, but as long as the people and horses gather, the situation will get rid of the control of the initiator, and it will inevitably become a chaos that will sweep through Yudi, completely cutting off his back road!

The most important thing is that the Demon Lord has spied on his vein, and he has been stationed in Yuncheng, neither retreating nor going north to Shaolin, and has always maintained pressure on Shaolin.

Can't put it off any longer!

Liu Futong sighed in his heart, and ordered the soldiers outside the door: "Summons Zhu Yuanzhang!"

Without spinning his heels, Zhu Yuanzhang came to the Shuai's Mansion and bowed inside.

Liu Futong tried to make himself appear calmer, and said softly: "I heard that Yuan Zhang and that demon lord have some friendship, right?"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang entered the door, he swept the letter on Liu Futong's case out of the corner of his eye, and when he heard this question, he immediately understood what Liu Futong was planning, and hurriedly said: "I have some friendship with the Demon Lord in the past. However, this person's eyes are above the top, and he looks down on me from a humble background, and his friendship fades. A few years ago, I worked under Guo Zixing's account, and I became even more hostile to him because of the crossing of the Five Elements Banner. This person seems to be magnanimous and polite, but in fact, he will repay him, and now I am afraid that the Demon Lord will get rid of me quickly!"

When Liu Futong heard this answer, he was slightly disappointed and said, "So that's the case." The Demon Lord sent a letter to ask for grain and grass, to help me solve the Shaolin army, I originally intended that Yuanzhang had a friendship with the Demon Lord, and entrusted you with the important task of escorting the grain and grass to other places, but now it seems that it is inappropriate. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head, the corners of his eyes twitched, he thought that if he made it clear first, Liu Futong would let him go, but he didn't expect to tell the matter. Where is this entrusted with a heavy responsibility, it is clear that he wants to be a scapegoat and calm Zhao Yu's anger!

He noticed that Liu Futong's eyes had been lingering on him, and he knew that even if he didn't agree, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in Liu Futong's army in the future, so he simply gritted his teeth and said astringently: "Entrusted by the marshal, his subordinates will never give up!

After Liu Futong heard this, a smile appeared on his gloomy face again, and he did not forget to comfort Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "If it weren't for the fact that Bianliang suffered too many losses in the First War, I wouldn't want to send out your right-hand man." This time, when you go to Yuncheng, be more careful along the way, and treat the demon lord with courtesy. Remember, I'm still standing behind you, and the Demon Lord doesn't dare to do anything to you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth was full of bitterness, so he had to nod his head. He knew that he was too impatient in Haozhou, which had aroused Liu Futong's vigilance, and now he only hoped that Liu Futong could be negligent for a while, and not to detain his own people.

However, Liu Futong's next sentence directly knocked Zhu Yuanzhang into the abyss: "The Bianliang army is approaching, and those new annexed troops are always not reassuring." I have repatriated the first part of the Nanyang royal power, and Yuanzhang can walk with them all the way. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the ground. Only now did he know that he was far from Liu Futong's opponent compared to being ruthless, and this time he was actually going to enter the enemy camp alone!

His heart shook violently, his shoulders trembled, and he suddenly heard the sound of a blade coming out of the sheath outside the door, so he had to grit his teeth and said angrily: "My subordinates obey!"

Liu Futong didn't even leave time for Zhu Yuanzhang to explain the aftermath, and immediately said: "This matter is sooner rather than later, Yuanzhang will set off immediately." You don't have to worry about your safety, I will send a brigade of personal guards to escort you, but Yuanzhang is safe!"

It wasn't until Zhu Yuanzhang stepped back that Liu Futong's bad mood was much more relaxed. Zhu Yuanzhang is a person, and the jackal is also! Just look at him first voted for Guo Zixing, and then returned to Xuzhou Sesame Li, when he turned his head to himself, he counted the two old masters into the urn at the beginning of his plan, and this person's coldness of heart can be seen! This time to get rid of this person by the hand of the Demon Monarch, it can not only eliminate some of the anger of the Demon Lord, but also make sure that Zhu Yuanzhang's tens of thousands of Xuzhou Red Turban Army are all happy.

Just thinking of the Shaolin incident, Liu Futong still couldn't help but be annoyed. He has been friends with Yuan Zhen for many years, and his first friendship with Han Shantong was really Yuan's guidance, but he didn't think that at the critical juncture of the great cause, Shaolin stabbed himself in the back! The Demon Lord's 5,000 Iron Cavalry is admittedly terrifying, but Shaolin has also done some things in the outside of the strong, and he has lost the name of the world's number one faction, even if they let go of their hands and feet, the Demon Lord will not dare to let go of the slaughter of the temple! Unless he insists on going his own way to evil all the martial arts people in the world! At that time, don't talk about fighting for the world, even if he should deal with the revenge of the Shaolin people, he will be overwhelmed. And their current attitude is to lower the status of Shaolin's transcendence, not only to give the demon lord a mouthful, but also to commit their own taboos, this is death!

"Confused!" Thinking of the annoyance, Liu Futong slapped his palm on the case. What he was most angry about was not Shaolin's move, but the grievances between the Five Elements Banner and Shaolin, how did he fall to the point where he begged Zhao Yu for help!

Zhao Yu is in Yuncheng, not idle. In addition to waiting for Liu Futong's reply and paying close attention to the Jiqing battle report, he swept away the green forest bandits who were scurrying around the left and west of Yuncheng, used them as military training, and won many good reputations among the people in this vicinity.

After Liu Futong took Bianliang for a month, he finally gave Zhao Yu a reply, clearly expressing his hope that Zhao Yu would help solve the Shaolin matter, and sent a batch of heavy grain and grass.

Responsible for escorting the grain and grass is the Mingjiao Nanyang branch altar lord who returned by the way, this person also has nearly 10,000 people, the first to respond to the summoning order to go north, but because in Xuchang was embellished by the Yuan court Li Siqi, not to mention the loss of soldiers, but also almost swallowed by Liu Futong. All the way back, he became more and more discouraged, and did not enter the camp, but only led the army away after the grain and grass were handed over outside the camp.

Zhao Yuli arrived for several weeks, and sent the royal power more than ten miles away all the way before returning with his own soldiers.

As soon as Fang entered the camp, Fu Youde greeted him with a solemn face and said, "Chief, this royal power is not true, why don't you ask him?"

Zhao Yu sighed and said: "In this world, whoever raises troops, who has no great ambitions." This royal power is trapped in Nanyang, Liu Futong in the north, Xu Shouhui in the south, and when the opportunity is not grasped due to bad luck, it is reasonable to have a different mind. This Zhu Yuanzhang is really a great character, he found a life in his death, and he was able to persuade the royal power to grant protection. However, this is something that Liu Futong and Xu Shouhui should have a headache for, and they have to bite it. What can I do, but fix two letters. ”

To be benefited by others, of course, you have to do things for others. After the grain and grass arrived, Zhao Yu no longer delayed, and immediately ordered the battalion to send troops to Songshan.

At this time, the Shaolin people had gathered more than 10,000 subordinates, and Chen Bing was in the city, waiting for the Chuzhou Iron Cavalry. (To be continued.) )
