After desperately following Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, he really regarded himself as an escapee on Dongzi Cliff. He spent a lot of time telling the soldiers about the destruction of Zheng Yanfu and his gang. Of course, the officers and soldiers were not able to tell how powerful the officers and soldiers were, only how bad the officers and soldiers were. Zhao Yu and his gang clearly surrendered, but were even attacked and slaughtered by the officers and soldiers at night.

Life in the mountains is relatively hard, and everyone has no other entertainment projects. Of course, they are willing to listen to stories and pass them on. As a result, the story spread quickly in the parable, and everyone can recite it. And it quickly became various versions, such as officers and soldiers who washed Dongzi Cliff bloodily, officers and soldiers attacked Zhao Datou at night, officers and soldiers who killed surrendered soldiers, etc.

Just when this story was being circulated the most, the news that officers and soldiers entered the mountains to suppress bandits arrived at the right time!

Yang Hong, a thousand households of Xi'an Prefecture, led the soldiers of the Qianhu Station under his jurisdiction to enter Huanglong Mountain. The news immediately aroused a great response in the mountain village, as if throwing a stone on the calm lake.

"It's Yang Hong! Oh my God! Isn't this the general who wiped out Zheng Yanfu?"

"Can we win?"

"No matter whether you can win or not, you can't surrender. Haven't you heard about Zhao Yu's fate? After killing Zheng Yanfu, he surrendered to Yang Hong, but he was still killed..."

"Yes, instead of being killed after surrender, it's better to fight with the officers and soldiers!"

"I would rather fight to the death than be killed inexplicably in the middle of the night."

"Yes...I've fought!"

While the soldiers and the people in the village were secretly determined to fight with the officers and soldiers, Zhu Yuanzhang also gathered his most core team together and began a military discussion.

Looking at the men around him who came to participate in the military convention, Zhu Yuanzhang was not very satisfied. In his previous life, he convened a military convention. Who were the people who came to the meeting? Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang... Just by saying these names, it would be enough to scare away the 100,000 troops. But now... Wang Er, desperate Sanlang, Li Chujiu, Ma Xiaotian... The difference is indeed a bit big.

There is no way, rely on your own efforts. Only when the power grows can you get better talents. Moreover... these not-so-powerful people can gradually become stronger after years of war.

"Li Chujiu!" Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead in placing Li Chujiu's name: "You have to use the rolling wood and rocks to defend the cottage. You are not afraid of more, but only less, so try to prepare as much as possible. In addition, the distribution of grain in wartime must be different from usual. The soldiers must be full of food. You can redistribute the food and give the soldiers more food."

"Yes!" Li Chujiu replied respectfully.

The capable man Zhu Yuanzhang used to manage food, pay and military equipment in the last life was Li Shanchang, which is also a coincidence. Li Chujiu, who was used in this life, was also surnamed Li. However, in terms of ability, Li Shanchang's starting point was much higher. He was a famous person in the local area, and "the first to be familiar with literature and art", but Li Chujiu "is not familiar with literature and art" and could only recognize a few words. Moreover, he was not a famous person, but he was just a manager of the Ma family for a few days.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not very relieved about this, so he added: "If you don't understand anything, come and ask me more!"

"It will definitely happen!" Li Chujiu is more similar to Li Shanchang, that is, he is very low-key and obedient.

After Li Chujiu was arranged to do logistics, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Tsingsanlang again and said, "I will leave it to you to defend the counterfeit village! You can assign the soldiers, guard all the dangerous places on the mountain, and practice the use of rolling wood and rocks several times in advance. If the officers and soldiers come to attack the mountain, you have to keep it hard."

The reason why this position was left to Pinxian Sanlang was because he had done it. When he was on Dongzi Cliff, although Zheng Yanfu lost to the officers and soldiers on the flat ground, he successfully repelled the officers and soldiers' attacks while defending the mountain, which resulted in the officers and soldiers' attacks...

So Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Pinming Sanlang could do this job well! Although he was nicknamed Pinming Sanlang, he sounded like a very capable person, but in fact he was a general who was good at defense.

Tsanol nodded and replied: "I will do my best! I must not be defeated by the officers and soldiers!"

He was the one who "dead" once, and he would be more steady when facing officers and soldiers than last time. Among all the men, Zhu Yuanzhang was most relieved.

At this time, Wang Er was anxious. He was originally an impatient person and especially liked to interfere in war affairs. He shouted from the side: "Brother Zhu, arrange me quickly... should I take the lead in charge? Haha, I have long wanted to charge..."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him: "Who said he wanted to charge? I don't plan to fight against the officers and soldiers."

"What? Not against the match?" Wang Er was shocked and said depressedly: "How to fight if not against the match?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "Although our soldiers have been training for several months, if we fight against the officers and soldiers now, the possibility of defeat is still very high, because everyone is afraid of officers and soldiers at heart, and I don't want to take this risk!"

"Then..." Wang Er was anxious: "I have to let me do something, right?"

"Well, there's something you did!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "Put a few close-fitting clothes, bring a pack of dry food, and prepare to follow me out."

"Huh? Going out at this time? What are you doing?" Wang Erdaqi.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him and turned to Ma Xiaotian and said, "You go and call the other thirty-four best brothers, prepare a few pieces of clothes and a pack of dry food, and you need to be able to eat for a month. We have work to do."

Everyone didn't know what he was selling in the gourd. It was not until Ma Xiaotian and thirty-five brothers arrived that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Wang Er and them: "The officers and soldiers have entered the mountain. You must know that Huanglong Mountain is not an ordinary mountain. There are many ravines and terrain. It has been several months since we entered the mountain before we figured out a small piece of terrain. The officers and soldiers are just here and must be unfamiliar with the terrain. We happened to play hide-and-seek with them while the officers and soldiers were exploring the mountain path."

"How to play this...?" Wang Er's face was confused.

Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "Dig a trap in the east and a mechanism in the west... Just deal with officers and soldiers just like a child playing games. Brother Wang Er, didn't you often go to the mountains to chop firewood, and occasionally hunt? You should be good at digging pits and setting traps."

"I do know these, but these things have no effect on an army!" Wang Er Dahan.

"Yes, it won't cause any substantial harm, but..." Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "It's enough to shake a little morale! The biggest difference between our soldiers and officers and soldiers is morale, and we must make up for this shortcoming."

Huanglong Mountain, South!

Yang Hong's army has been entering Huanglong Mountain for two days and is moving towards Zhu Yuanzhang's village.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang chose to settle down the mountain village in the vast mountains, as long as people can go, they would not be able to maintain a permanent secret. In the past few months, the officers and soldiers recruited many hunters and sent out the most powerful "no night to collect" in the army (the elite scouts). It took several months to find out the location of the mountain village. Therefore, this time Yang Hong led his troops to suppress the bandits, and did not run around in the mountains like a headless fly.

Along the way, I was leading the way with hunters and led the way with them, so it was not too difficult to walk.

But Yang Hong was still not used to the strange terrain here. Sometimes his army was walking in a flat wood. As he walked, the scouts in front suddenly turned around. The seemingly flat road disappeared, and a cliff was blocking the front without any loss... In order to bypass this cliff, an army of more than 500 people had to circle a big circle, which was really laborious and troublesome.

Sometimes he saw Ye Bushou walking towards a mountain wall. He was about to protest how this could work, but suddenly he saw a crack on the mountain wall that could allow one person to get through. As a result, more than 500 soldiers drilled into the crack one by one, making it like a group of mice digging holes.

Sometimes, his army was marching in the valley, and his feet were forced to step on the cold stream. He was an officer, and it didn't matter if he was wearing leather boots, but the soldiers couldn't stand it anymore. Most of them were wearing straw sandals, and their insteps were exposed. It was so cool that they stepped into the stream with one foot. Although it was spring at this time, the streams in the mountains were much colder than those outside the mountains. Soaking their feet in such water for a long time is really not something that humans can do.

"It's really a ghost!" Yang Hong couldn't help but curse angrily: "These damn bandits actually chose to build a mountain village in such a ghost place."

A middle-aged man following Yang Hong also sighed: "This place is really hard to walk."

The man was wearing a cotton dress, with a plain appearance, a little steady, frowning and a sad look. He was actually the chief manager of the Ma family, Ma Qianjiu.

By the way, why did Ma Qianjiu get along with Yang Hong? This matter is just a long story!

It turned out that after Zhu Yuanzhang revolted, he kidnapped Zhang Yingxian, the second young lady of the Ma family. At the same time, he kidnapped all the stored grains of the Ma family and set fire to the old Ma family house. All this was to help the Ma family escape from crime, but in the eyes of the Ma family, it became a great humiliation. While the Ma family members secretly glad that most of the people in the family moved to Xi'an, they vowed to give Zhu Ba's group good-looking.

In this case, the Ma family received the news that Yang Hong was going to lead the army to wipe out Zhu Bayi's gang. Ma Zhibin, the second young master of the Ma family, took out a sum of money to Yang Hong without hesitation. In the name of the army, he actually wanted to buy Zhu Ba's head! At the same time... he also wanted to buy Zhang Yingxian's head, because Zhang Yingxian was robbed by bandits, chastity would definitely not be preserved. The second young master must kill this wife who corrupted the family to save face.

Ma Qianjiu came to recognize people with the army, just like Qiuye was sent to identify Zheng Yanfu.

Some friends who live in modern times may not understand. Zhang Yingxian is obviously a victim, so why has she become a corrupt family style? This... Alas, I can only say that it is not easy to be a woman in ancient times! I would like to advise those girls who dream of traveling back to the ancient times to wake up! It is better to be a sow in modern times than to be a woman in ancient times.
