It turned out that Zuo Guang had failed to ambush Zhu Yuanzhang in the mountains and forests, and both ambushed soldiers were repelled. Moreover, he saw that the three thousand black pole soldiers led by Xu Renjie were really powerful. Although he lacked combat experience and had a slightly poor morale, as long as he fought a few more battles, he could become a very powerful special army in the mountains and forests. He was already afraid and dared not ambush Zhu Yuanzhang again, allowing him to come to Guangyuan City.

Zuo Guang didn't want to go back to Guangyuan City to guard it. He didn't win in the mountains and forests. When he arrived at this relatively flat place, he was even more afraid to go against Zhu Yuanzhang's 20,000 troops, so he ran away with his Sichuan soldiers and left the county town without paying attention.

The magistrate of Guangyuan in the city was simply called Tiantian and the earth was not effective. Seeing that the Zhu army was approaching, he had to open the city and surrender obediently.

If it were Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others, the magistrate might not dare to surrender. Maybe he would gather the village to defend the city to death, and they would all be killed with the enemy, but if it were Baishui Zhu Ba, the situation would be different. Guangyuan was very close to Shaanxi. He had heard of many deeds of the Zhu army, and knew that the Zhu army was completely different from other bandits. He would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, nor would he easily slaughter the officials of the court. Although he might not believe these rumors, it was always much better than the 36th Battalion? Therefore, he became brave and made up his mind to open the city gate and ran out to surrender.

Since he was going to surrender to the thief, of course he would demote the court to nothing, but he did not dare to understand the swearing of the court. So after leaving the city, he scattered all his anger on Zuo Guangxian and said angrily to Zhu Yuanzhang: "That bastard Zuo Guangxian, he actually led his troops over the mountains and ran away regardless of the lives and death of the people in our city. The court was full of such an annihilation. The officials... cough... the officials decided to abandon the secret and turn to the light... and welcome the general in Zhenxi into the city."

"Give up the dark and turn to the light?" Leader Zhu Jun couldn't help laughing. He used this word... It is hard to say whether to throw away the dark and turn to the light or turn to the dark.

However, this man was very well-behaved. The so-called punching was hard to hit a smiley person. Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to bother him about such an official who took the initiative to surrender, so as not to refuse to surrender in the future, and insisted on fighting with him. So he said warmly: "Very good, since you are so tactful, let you continue to bear the burden of this Guangyuan magistrate."

The magistrate was overjoyed, and his face was full of joy and expression. However, he didn't know that Zhu Jun came a long way and brought all military generals and soldiers. He did not come with the army and civil servants, otherwise he would have been forced to become a civilian. Now he was just letting him take the position of Guangyuan County Magistrate. When Zhu Jun straightened out the situation here, transferred his confidants and asked him to abdicate obediently.

While accepting the surrender of Guangyuan County Magistrate, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around and saw many people poking their heads out on the top of the city, looking timidly at the army outside the city, in a daze, not knowing what was going on.

He thought to the magistrate of Guangyuan and asked, "Do the people of Guangyuan know who I am?"

The magistrate shook his head and said, "These fools know nothing, but the rich people in the city have many people with great hands and eyes. There are many people who know who you are. However, the rich and fools cannot fight each other, and their news is not revealed to these people."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and thought about it in his heart. This was a worthwhile thing to use. You should know that the Zhu army was not as unsatisfied as ordinary thieves. With all the purple battle jackets, it seemed to be clearly separated from the thieves. The people on the city looked out and couldn't figure out what kind of army they were.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to carry the banner of "General Zhenxi" and deliberately waving it under the city. Then he smiled at the magistrate and said, "You go and send a notice to the people of the city that I am General Zhenxi from Shaanxi. Because Zuo Guang was greedy and abused the law, he did not obey the imperial orders, and separated the land and made himself king, so he came to expel him...Don't tell them other things."

When the magistrate heard this, he immediately understood that Zhu Ba was going to disguise himself as an officer and soldier. What he didn't understand was what the benefits of a thief army disguised as an officer and soldier? Although the rumors of Zhu's army not robbing or burning, he did not believe it. As long as the thief army entered the city, they would definitely rob the city to the sky. Then you say that you are an officer and soldier, who believes? Although officers and soldiers often kill good people and rob people's wealth, they all hide in small villages to do such things. I have never heard of running into big cities and doing it blatantly, and they believe that the officers and soldiers will be restrained and unable to perform.

He couldn't figure it out, and Hong Niangzi naturally couldn't figure it out either. She came to Zhu Yuanzhang and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhu Ba, what can we do when we disguise ourselves as officers and soldiers? We should say that we are Zhu's army from Shaanxi, and this is our territory in the future. Is this better? Otherwise, these people would have benefited us and thought it was the grace of the court."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "The Sichuan people are fierce. If they let them know that we are a thief army, they may have to fight with us. Even if they can't win, they will still fight to the death. I first pretend to be an officer and soldier, so that they can feel the goodness of our Zhu army to them, and then show their true identity. Then they will not fight with us at that time."

Zhu Yuanzhang's concerns were not unreasonable. You should know that when the Qing Tartars entered Sichuan, three million Sichuan people fought with the Tartars, and in the end there were only 200,000 people left. The total 2.8 million people turned into dust. The Tartars finally took down Sichuan. This shows that the Sichuan people are so fierce that it would not work to suppress such people with power. If Zhu Jun said here, we are not from the court, but rebels. Now we are going to occupy this place, you are obedient! As soon as this order is issued, countless people will immediately rush out and kowtow to you with hoes. Either you die or he dies... This is not something Zhu Yuanzhang hopes to see.

You need to coax these fierce people first! You are so obedient. When they know your goodness, they will use his toughness to help you.

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's whisper, the Hongniang understood. She blinked her big eyes and couldn't help but praise: "Brother Zhu Ba, I find that you are really a very smart person...at least many times smarter than me."

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.

The Hongniangzi said sweetly again: "If you are willing to spend some time studying, you will definitely become a great poet."

Zhu Yuanzhang said helplessly: "What is the best poet?"

The Hongmao stuck out her tongue: "I don't know, it's good anyway... When I was a child, I heard Mr. Shu telling the story of Grandpa Yue. When I read "Manjianghong", I couldn't understand it, but I always thought that the poem was so powerful. I just thought that a good man would be able to fight and write poems."

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless, turned his head, patted Ma Xiaotian on the shoulder, and whispered: "Learn to learn to write poetry well."

Ma Xiaotian swallowed speechlessly and asked him, a poor naughty child who was a big man in a poor village to write poems. It would be better to drag him to the execution ground and cut off his head.

At this time, the magistrate of Guangyuan had sent people to shout in the county town. He sent several refuters. These people were holding a big gong in their hands, banging, and then shouting with a loud voice: "The villagers in the countryside have all listened. The army of the general of Zhenxi came from outside the city. According to the order of the court, they drove away the rebel Zuo Guangxian who occupied land and became king...bang... The villagers in the countryside have listened, the villagers in the city are..."

At this time, there was no wireless radio or TV. The fastest way to pass on messages to the people in the city was to pass on this method. The refuelers beat the gong while spreading the words. When the people heard that the officers and soldiers were coming from outside the city, their coldness was slightly restrained. However, many people were still nervously holding weapons because officers and soldiers were not good things. When Zuo Guangxian first arrived at Guangyuan station, they harmed the people here. Many soldiers were eating and robbing on the street and wanted to beat people. There were also several good daughters who were ruined by the officers and soldiers. Of course, the fierce Sichuan people refused to give up. At that time, they had to organize the village warriors and Zuo Guangxian to fight against each other. Later, relying on the joint efforts of the county magistrate and the gentry in the city to appease him, Zuo Guangxian saw that the Sichuan people were not easy to bully, so he quickly restrained the infantry and did not make any more noise.

Now Zuo Guang left first, and another new officer and soldier came. Maybe these things will be staged again, so the people are still very alert.

However, the subsequent development was beyond the expectations of the Sichuan people. Zhu Jun entered the city safely. Not only did he make trouble along the way, he even had no soldiers leaving the team. All the Zhu Jun soldiers walked in the team in a regular manner, passing through the main avenue in the city, entering the barracks, and then divided several teams to occupy the four gates, without doing any extra things!

Moreover, in the next few days, these soldiers had never left the camp. They abide by military discipline very much. Apart from changing defenses with the four troops guarding the city gate, they stayed in the barracks all day long and would never run to the streets to make trouble. This surprised the Sichuan people.

After several days, the soldiers in the barracks finally came out. The Sichuan people thought they were going to start making trouble, but they didn't expect that these soldiers actually lined up to leave the city and ran to the mountainous area north of Guangyuan for training... It turned out that after Guangyuan had a firm foothold, Zhu Jun used Guangyuan as a bridgehead and sent out many spies to inquire about the situation in Sichuan. At the same time, in order to allow the army to adapt to the forest war, they drove the troops out of the city and transferred them to the mountainous area north to train with the Black Pole Soldiers to train in forest war.

The Sichuan people in Guangyuan finally believed that this was a disciplined army and would not do anything to disturb the people at all, which greatly improved their mood. The people began to talk about this army excitedly. Of course, with their knowledge, they would definitely not know what kind of official General Zhenxi was. Although the rich people in the city knew who Baishui and Zhu Ba were, they would not be stupid and yelling everywhere, aren’t they afraid of losing their heads?

In the blink of an eye, the few words passed, autumn came, and winter came, and the winter in Sichuan was particularly cold. Although Sichuan was located in the south, the moisture in the air was very heavy. Therefore, in winter, Sichuan was actually colder than in the north. In previous years, poor places like Guangyuan had to rely on the wealthy Chengdu Plain to resell food and clothing, so that the people could ensure that they had no food and clothing. However, the situation this year was different. There were 36 battalions on the Chengdu Plain making trouble, and the trade routes were cut off, and the poor Guangyuan people were living a miserable life.
