Chapter 191: Weighing

Less than an hour before, the Battle of Gaoyou had already come to an end. Zhao Jun used his powerful general Fu Youde to use 150 cavalrymen, with the cooperation of Zhang Shicheng, Li Bosheng, Qu Tong and other "Yi soldiers" and the leader of Yanding, to open the east gate of Gaoyou City, and killed one 10,000 households, five 10,000 households, and more than 40 soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. He captured Qi Zhedu, the left chief of Jiangbei Province in Henan, Henan, and nearly a hundred officials of all sizes. He also forced more than 20,000 "Yi soldiers" and Yanding who were temporarily recruited by Gaoyou government turned against each other on the spot, turned around, and together with Zhang Shicheng and others, he killed more than 7,000 official officers and soldiers.

Like Huai'an, Gaoyou City is an important cargo distribution hub on the canal. Therefore, there are many wealthy families in the city, and the people live relatively rich. Most of the "Yi soldiers" recruited by the government and the salt peddlers who were forced to be recruited by officials at all levels are mostly at the bottom of this era. In addition to being called and scolded by officials at all levels, they have also been greatly cursed by "city people". Therefore, after killing the formal officers and soldiers, they immediately aimed the blade at the people in the city. Seeing a slightly decent house, they rushed in without saying a word and robbed them. Seeing a slightly more beautiful woman, they immediately tied them up with a rope and carried them on their shoulders, or pressed them down on the spot, doing the beastly affairs on the spot.

When Fu Youde saw this scene, he had to send cavalry to cut over the bandits who took the lead in harming the people to the ground to serve as a warning. He also called Zhang Shicheng's brothers, Li Bosheng, Qu Tong, Pan Yuanming and others to his side, scolded them, and ordered them to restrain their own subordinates and not to mess around in the city.

The Zhang brothers, Qu Tong, Pan Yuanming and others dared not talk back to him in person. They turned around, but they all felt that Fu Youde was making a big fuss and whispered: "What are you pretending to be? Everyone should rebel on their belts, just to have fun? This is not allowed, that is not allowed, why should we follow him? Continue to be scrambled under Qi Zhedu, it is not the same!"

"Isn't it? He ate all the big pieces of meat, and we didn't even let the soup drink. Even the emperor cannot treat meritorious officials like this?!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Shicheng was upset when he heard this, raised his eyes and whispered, "Be careful that disaster comes from the mouth! Besides, what's the motivation to bully an ordinary person? If you want to play, let's play big things by ourselves in the future!"

"Yeah!" Everyone thought about it and nodded vigorously, "Today I will let the mighty man surnamed Fu be together. One day, our man will become a soldier alone."

"Worry, no one sells you as a mute!" This time, the one who stopped everyone was replaced by Li Bosheng. He looked around and asked in a whisper: "Jiu Si, can what you told everyone this morning be successful? Then Fu Youde is just a general under Zhao Jun. How could he be Zhu Bashiyi's master!"

"You underestimate Zhu butcher!" Zhang Shicheng also looked around secretly and responded in a low voice, "Think about it, no matter who Fu Youde is, he is expanding territory for him. So no matter what promise Fu Youde makes, he, Zhu Bashiyi, has to be in the back. Besides, after this battle, our brothers will definitely spread throughout the country. If Zhu Bashiyi refuses to fulfill Fu Youde's promise, what reputation will he have? Who else dares to come to join him in the future?"

"That's true!" Li Bosheng was not a very opinionated person at first. After hearing Zhang Shicheng's affirmation, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart was relieved. "Then Zhu Tu, General Manager Zhu, is the name of benevolence and righteousness. He is pretty good to Hu Dahai, Geng Zaicheng, and the Mongolians who surrendered to him!"

"We are all under his elbows!" Zhang Shicheng thought for a while, raised his voice a little more, and said solemnly, "Everyone is up to the spirit and according to Fu Youde's words, restrain the brothers. Don't let General Manager Zhu leave a good impression when he sees us for the first time. Tell those brothers who want to make a fortune, let them bear it first. Then I said that I owe them what I am today, and when I have the chance in the future, I will definitely make double compensation!"

"Yes, brother!"

"Brother, we all listen to you!"

Everyone thought about it and made a statement. Zhang Shicheng nodded and added with a smile, "If you want to be a hero, you have to look like a hero. We cannot think about making achievements while staring at the remaining bones of others. Look at Zhu Tu, General Manager Zhu, because he has a great reputation, even the Mongolians in the city are unwilling to be enemies with him. If we want to achieve something, we have to learn from others!"

"Yes!" Everyone heard his words proudly and bowed again.

Zhang Shicheng smiled again and waved his hand hard, "Go quickly. After gathering the team, you will pull them out of the city, so as not to eat anything from the melon field and plums, but instead fall into suspicion. Let's camp outside the city while waiting for the big way of General Zhu!"

"Yes! It's Brother Jiusi, you're thinking attentively!"

"Brother, let's listen to you. When we meet Zhao Erzi, Feng Zhankui and others later, we will also talk to them about this truth and let them listen to you too!"

"Looking!" Zhang Shicheng neither stopped nor opposed it. He walked slowly towards the east gate of Gaoyou City. This city was defeated by him, and it did not waste General Zhu's soldiers or soldiers, nor did it waste a dozen gunpowder. Although he had to share some of the credit to Fu Youde, the latter had only more than 100 cavalry under his command. As long as the eyes were not blind, Zhu's butcher would definitely understand who would have the greatest contribution. If Zhu's butcher asked about his future plans? In addition to the conditions agreed with Fu Youde, he would clearly tell him that he would be willing to protect General Zhu's wings forever and provide him with a storm. He would never be rushed. Well, um, he could agree to more details, paying money and grain on time every year without delay. Anyway, those things are now unowned, and even if they were given to 30% of the surname Zhu, he would still be able to leave a big deal.

Zhengzhi was planning with pride, and suddenly there was a crisp sound of horse hooves behind him. When he turned around, he saw Fu Youde, leading two guards, and a horse with an empty saddle, galloping towards the door.

"Where is General Fu?" Zhang Shicheng was slightly stunned, quickly turned sideways and made way for the road, and at the same time carefully inquired.

"Go to welcome Mr. Zhu and others. If there is a horse that belongs to you, you can go together!" Fu Youde gently brought the reins and responded neatly, "Mr. Zhu already knows that we have taken Gaoyou City down, and he is rushing towards this side with his personal soldiers. We are idle in the city anyway, so why not go out to greet us together!"

"This, as soon as the general leaves, there will be no one in charge in the city!" Zhang Shicheng was stunned again, hesitating to dissuade him, "If there is a remnant of Qi Zhedu's party to start a fuss."

"Aren't Li Bosheng and the others here? My cavalry are also there." Fu Youde smiled and explained confidently, "If anyone wants to take the opportunity to cause trouble, he must snatch Qi Zhedu, Li Qi and others from the prison of the government office. If you want to snatch people from my brothers, haha, they must have the ability! Let's go, don't delay, see the general manager as soon as possible, and your affairs will be resolved soon!"

"Then, the grass people are more respectful than obedient!" Zhang Shicheng took action, quickly walked to the war horse he prepared for, and flew up.

Four mounts ran along the pipe at lightning speed, and they rushed for more than twenty miles in a blink of an eye. From a distance, they saw a large group of cavalry wearing iron armor coming towards them.

The water networks in the two Huaihe Rivers are crisscrossing and the climate is humid, which is extremely unsuitable for war horses to survive. Therefore, large-scale cavalry are rarely seen among the people. Even if they see them, most of them ride relatively short Mongolian horses, which do not look very powerful. However, today, the cavalry driving across the opposite side are all sitting upright on the back of tall big-foot horses, covered with fine steel armor. When the sunset is shining from afar, it is like a golden torrent. Any obstacle that blocks it will be smashed to pieces.

"Here-?" Zhang Shicheng immediately took a breath of air, feeling in awe of fear. But Fu Youde turned around with a smile and said loudly, "Look, I said the chief manager will be back soon?! The opposite are the two chief managers and their guards. Please wait here with my personal soldiers for a while. I will go to see the two chief managers first, and then introduce you to them!"

"The grass-roots dare not obey orders!" Zhang Shicheng arched his hand hard again, and at the same time straightened his body on the saddle.

One thousand iron armored cavalry! Zhu Tuhuo actually has one thousand iron armored cavalry! Even if half of them belong to Mao Gui, he himself has at least five hundred iron cavalry. Sending these five hundred iron cavalry across the river, almost all the Suzhou and Hangzhou places can be scattered. Where can you use others to use his banner to pretend to be a tiger? Zhang Jiusi, Zhang Jiusi, today's abacus is a bit crooked. If you want to do business with others, you don't even know the capital of others! How can you make a profit in this business? It's better, you might as well just join him honestly. With today's contribution, you will inevitably be the position of a Duke and Marquis in the future!

But there was a wildfire deep in his chest, which was constantly scorching his heart. Strong, what happened to Zhu, who was strong now? Yuan Shu was still strong back then, but he died at the hands of Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others? A man and a real man would not have a chance to follow others in the troubled times. Besides, the wood was outstanding in the forest and the wind would destroy it. With the momentum of Zhu Butcher, it would be strange if the Yuan court did not regard him as a thorn in his eyes! If the court attacked with the power of the country, anyone who served under him would definitely fight to the death. On the battlefield, the arrows were never eye-catching. Even if Zhu Butcher was lucky and had a great life, he could survive this level. Who can guarantee that his generals would accompany him to the end? For example, let's try to use his power to find a way out! At worst, just keep taking his banner and leaving a way out for himself.
