First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 44

　　 Zhu Yuanzhang rushed to Baogong River. This was already in Dingyuan. In front of him, there were thousands of people from Lvpai Village. And fifty miles west is Hengjian Mountain.

　　 Because Dingyuan is flat and accessible, it is not conducive to defense.

　　 Therefore, the Yuan army placed the main force in Hengjian Mountain, and the prefect Lao Zhang was in charge. That's right, this man was called Lao Zhang, who was a lustful person. He holds tens of thousands of soldiers in his hand, and he has enough food and grass to look forward to.

　　 Lvpai Village is in a very difficult situation, with few people and insufficient food. If you want to survive, you must either go north to rely on the Haozhou Red Scarf, or go south to rely on Lao Zhang in Hengjian Mountain.

　　 "My commander wants to ask Guo Shuai'en to reward the army food to survive...As long as the food arrives, there will be tens of thousands of people in Lvpai Village, willing to surrender!" After the messenger finished speaking, he glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and found that Zhu Yuanzhang was just a faint smile.

　　 Linhuai Town has more than 10,000 people by the standard, and Zhu Yuanzhang knows how large the town is. Zhu Yuanzhang knows that there is not even half of the Lvpai Village. It is ridiculous that he still brags here.

"We have already said that Guo Dashuai has sufficient food and salary, and he needs as much food as he wants, but it is absolutely impossible to give it to you in vain! You cross the river immediately, let's arrange the manpower, check the amount, and pay the salary according to the number of people. It's impossible. Don't you believe us?" Old Zhu is tall and energetic, his voice is loud, and he has a strong sense of oppression.

　　The messenger hesitated again and again, finally stopped talking, and turned to leave.

　　 Lao Zhu watched him go, sneered at the corners of his mouth, and said to Fei Ju and Hua Yun: "This Donkey Pai Village is not sincere, we should think of a way."

　　 Fei Ju thought to himself: "Upper position, there are thousands of people in Lvpai Village, do you need to go back and transfer troops?"

　　Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "We are fully equipped with armor and horses, with thirty people serving as 300 soldiers, and the Lvpai Village is only a few thousand mobs. The army is short of food, and the hearts of the people are scattered, so why bother!"

　　 Fei Ju is not Zhang Ximeng, so I dare not talk nonsense with Lao Zhu... I just hesitate in my heart. After all, it is 30 to 3,000, a hundred times the difference, how can I be shocked and shudder.

　　 Lao Zhu didn't tell him much, but asked the big guy, “Who wants to go to the Lvpai Village for us now? Let's clarify that going there this time is very dangerous and we must be bold and careful.”

　　 As soon as the voice fell, Hua Yun couldn't wait, "Upper, this kind of thing suits me best, let me go!"

　　 Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huayun, and indeed no one was more suitable than him.

　　 It's just that Lao Zhu is still worried, so he must tell.

"You go to Lvpaizhai now, just saying that you are showing them the way. After they come out, you raise your banner, and the soldiers and horses go over here... You have to remember that we used to check the quantity, not do it... Certainly. After three times, you raise your banner and shake it vigorously. Our people will come out together to capture the thieves and the king! Understand?"

　　 Huayun's brain is not too bright. After thinking for a long time, he patted his forehead, his eyes lit up, and said with joy: "Isn't this just tricking them to let go of their vigilance and then sneak attack? I understand!"

　　 After this guy said, he flew on his horse and grabbed a small flag. The horse was like flying, wading through the Baogong River and heading straight to the Lvpai Village.

　　 He walked in a hurry, and before he had time to tell him more, Fei Ju was still a little worried, for fear that Hua Yun might mess up things.

　　 But Lao Zhu was calm, with a smile on his face. He jumped from the horse's back to let the horse eat some waterweed and take a break. Everyone else followed Zhu Yuanzhang's way to relax the horse.

Lao Zhu said to the big guy: "They have thousands of people. It will not be easy to gather together. We can't cross the river without two or three hours. Let's take advantage of this time to rest well, raise their spirits, and then take them all at once. If the immediate solution is done, this Donkey Village is ours, there is no need to fight, understand?"

　　 Everyone nodded together, they also felt that Lao Zhu's idea was reasonable, and they couldn't help but remember it.

　　No one is a born soldier. There is no set way of how to lead soldiers and how to fight. Some are just knowing oneself and the enemy and adapting to changes.

　　 Zhu Yuanzhang is not only learning, but also teaching these subordinates. One day, they will all be alone, and they will not be far from sweeping the world.

　　 As expected by Lao Zhu, he waited three hours for the direction of Lvpai Village and the soldiers came out. It's just that they moved too slowly and dragged their feet. When they crossed the river, they were afraid of the cold. After tossing for a while, they sparsely crossed the river.

　　 And at this moment, Zhu and his subordinates are ready.

　　 There are not many people coming out of Lvpai Village this time. It looks like a maximum of 1,500. Old Zhu is not clear, but he doesn't want to change his plan because Hua Yun has already raised the small red flag in his hand.

　　 Fei Ju immediately led the team over.

　　 "I have been ordered to check the number of people and wait for your guide!"

　　 The commander of Lvpaizhai was taken aback for a moment. Seeing that Fei Ju and the others were friendly, there was nothing unusual, so he agreed.

　　 Fei Ju passed by the crowd and took a look at the overall situation...Can't help but nod secretly, the superior is really right, where is the soldier? It is clearly a group of beggars.

　　 More than a thousand people, armor can be counted with one hand, many people are in tattered clothes, not even weapons, just holding a wooden stick.

　　 There is indeed no need to transfer troops.

　　 Fei Ju had a feeling in his heart, turned his horse's head, and went to report to Lao Zhu.

　　 Soldiers and horses moved forward again, and walked for a while, Hua Yun raised the small flag again, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was far away, came over in person, this time asking the soldiers in the army who may be sick, what kind of medicinal materials they need to prepare.

　　 The boss of Lvpaizhai answered one by one, and Zhu Yuanzhang left calmly.

　　 This time Lao Zhu is also relieved.

A little bit of time passed. Seeing that dusk was approaching, Huayun raised the red flag for the third time. Zhu Yuanzhang came with a flying horse. All the soldiers swiftly turned and followed. Everyone has shown their weapons and is ready to fight. .

　　 "It's going to be late, you can bury the pot for cooking, set up camp, and tomorrow Guo Shuai's greet team will arrive."

　　 The boss of Lvpai Village seemed displeased, and couldn't help but said: "We have already run out of food. If we haven't delivered it, do we starve to death? If we don't have enough food tomorrow, we will go to the old Zhang!"

　　Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "allocate the grain and deliver it. It takes time. Please stay calm, it will arrive tomorrow."

　　 The commander of Lvpaizhai thought for a while, and finally nodded, let the horses go away, and bury their pots for cooking. He also wanted to get off his horse and rest for a while.

It's just that he didn't notice that Lao Zhu didn't go far, just went out dozens of steps, and turned the horse's head... At this moment, Hua Yun suddenly shook the red flag, Lao Zhu saw the opportunity, and immediately shot Protruding, rushed over.

　　 Don't look at the small number of people, but the division of labor is clear. Fei Ju took twenty people, like a machete, to cut off the connection between the Lvpaizhai Marshal and other subordinates, and Lao Zhu took the rest and just arrested people.

　　 They rushed over in a gallop, the Lvpaizhai master looked at the situation and wanted to climb up the horse. At this moment, Huayun was the nearest to him, suddenly jumped up, and rolled to the ground holding him.

　　 Huayun relied on his strong body, and squeezed the master of Lvpaizhai under her body.

　　 "Help! Help!"

　　 The donkey-brand commander yelled, and his guards were about to rush up, and at this moment Lao Zhu had arrived, struggling to attack, holding his saber high in his hand, so scared that the group of people backed back and did not dare to come over.

　　 Lao Zhu turned around and drove away all the guards, then greeted the two men to dismount, assist Hua Yun, and caught the master of Lvpaizhai.

　　 Looking at the other side, the more than one thousand subordinates are still silly, not only don't want to come to the rescue, but don't even know what happened.

　　 "Don't be afraid, everyone, we are the Red Turban rebels and will not kill casually. You all squat down, don't run around, there will be rations soon."

　　 Old Zhu yelled sharply, and Fei Ju led the cavalry and ran wildly around the outer circle to stop those who tried to escape. Soon, these people were honest.

　　 Without a single soldier~www.mtlnovel.com~ Without a drop of blood, Lao Zhu easily controlled the situation.

　　 Even if the fighting power of Lv Pai Village is too weak, it is enough to be proud of it.

At this moment, Huayun arrived in front of Lao Zhu, angrily said to him: "Superior, I will let them all come out and cross the river together... But this thing has to say that you have to take half of the people across the river first, and see how handsome Guo is. If you want to Give generously, and he will bring everyone here again. This **** is really cunning!"

　　 Zhu Yuanzhang also expected it, and there was no accident.

　　 "Fei Ju, you take ten brothers to watch, let's go to Lvpaizhai with Huayun to take a look."

　　 This old Zhu is really courageous, only thirty people, and he dared to split the army...but old Zhu just played it, and he played it for granted.

　　 He let Huayun be in front, everyone came to Baogonghe, and when they arrived at the Lvpai Village, the people inside were completely unprepared, the commander was gone, so they wouldn't waste their thoughts.

　　 Huayun just said that by the command of the commander, let them cross the river together and enjoy the blessing.

　　 This group of people had been left behind, and they could leave this shabby place at this moment. Naturally, they were rejoicing. Taking advantage of the night, they lit a torch and set off.

　　 But at this moment, someone suddenly came to deliver a letter, and Lao Zhang from Hengjianshan sent a batch of grain, which was a thousand shi, and hoped that the heroes of Lupaizhai would be attached to the court!

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, he almost laughed, "It's so good, let's take it." Turning his head, Lao Zhu said to half of the men in Lupai Village: "We will give you food, are you willing to work for us? ?"

　　 What else do these people say? Whoever eats it will work hard for them, no problem!

　　In a blink of an eye, Lao Zhu has almost two thousand more people, and there are a thousand stones of grain waiting for him outside, but there are two hundred Yuan troops who are escorting the grain...
