At that time, all the rebels, whether they were marshals, general managers, or grass-headed kings, all wanted to worship the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, ‘Zhao Lin’er’.

And he, Liu Futong, was the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, one man was inferior to ten thousand people.

Only in this way can the various rebel armies gather their strength to overthrow the Bao Yuan together.

"Don't worry, Generalissimo, I will send people to Bozhou to search for you right now!" Mr. Guan said.

"Don't be too anxious about this matter. Send more people to look for it quietly. Don't be too public. It will be bad if others find out." Liu Futong said cautiously.

Han Shantong's prestige among the Red Scarf Army and White Lotus sect is extremely high, and his son Han Lin'er is naturally also of considerable value.

In addition to Liu Futong, many others are also looking for Han Lin'er.

Everyone wants to use Han Lin'er as a big sign to call on all the rebels.

Liu Futong naturally did not want to be snatched away by others.

"Don't worry, Generalissimo, I will search for you quietly." Mr. Guan said seriously.

Liu Futong thought for a moment and then continued.

"Mr. Guan, I think it's best for you to go to Zhu Yuanzhang's place for me, so as to save others from ruining such a good thing."

Looking at the rebel armies from all walks of life, it can be said that except for Zhu Yuanzhang, no one else can have excess food to support themselves.

Liu Futong naturally attached great importance to it.

"No problem, then I will go there in person and meet this Zhu Yuanzhang!" Mr. Guan readily agreed.

Zhu Yuanzhang's rapid rise has already filled Guan Duo's heart with curiosity.

This monk from Longxing Temple conquered Haozhou as soon as he raised his army, then suffered a great defeat in Shayuan, then conquered Dingyuan, and then went south to eliminate the state.

These are all tough battles!

I really don’t know how Zhu Yuanzhang defeated the enemy so quickly.

Guan Duo has long wanted to see it with his own eyes.

After receiving Liu Futong's order, Guan Duo led a group of elite soldiers the next day and embarked on a journey south to eliminate the state.

Guan Duo and his party first went to Haozhou to meet with Marshal Guo Zixing and others of the capital of Haozhou, and then went south to Dingyuan to look for Zhu Yuanzhang.

As soon as they arrived at Haozhou City, Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others warmly entertained Guan Duo and others.

At the banquet, Guan Duo keenly discovered that Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others already had deep conflicts.

As Zhu Yuanzhang's father-in-law, Guan Duo immediately had concerns.

If Zhu Yuanzhang disobeys orders in the future, Guan Duo will have other plans in mind.

After leaving Haozhou, Guan Duo and his party arrived at Dingyuan.

As soon as they entered Dingyuan City, Guan Duo and others noticed that Dingyuan City was very different.

At present, the Red Turban Army's personnel are mixed, but their military discipline is also somewhat lax.

Every rebel who occupied the city wanted to drink and eat meat every day and be happy every day.

However, the rebel army in Dingyuan City was very different.

Not only were there no drunken and gambling soldiers on the streets, there were not even any idle soldiers.

Guan Duo couldn't help but admire the military discipline of the Dingyuan Rebel Army.

When he met Li Shanchang, who was staying in Dingyuan, Guan Duo actually felt ashamed of himself.

Guan Duo calls himself a wise general in the Red Scarf Army, which is different from those vulgar generals.

However, after a conversation with Li Shanchang, Guan Duo immediately realized that his knowledge was nothing compared to Li Shanchang.

The short two days in Dingyuan City shocked Guan Duo's heart.

He couldn't help but secretly thought: "This Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely not simple! He actually knows how to restrain his troops and win the hearts of the people. I have persuaded the generalissimo many times to restrain the military law and win the hearts of the people, but it has not had much effect. This Zhu Yuanzhang is very thoughtful!"

"Not only this Zhu Yuanzhang, but also his younger brother Zhu Han is not a simple person. Li Shanchang, who mentions Zhu Han in two of his three sentences, must be a powerful person."

During the two days of rest in Dingyuan, Guan Duo heard many rumors about Zhu Han.

From the well-known victory over Haozhou and Dingyuan among the Red Scarf Army, to the claim that the magic medicine in Dingyuan City could cure the plague, and finally, there are rumors that the assassination of Prime Minister Al Hui among the Tatars in Chuzhou seems to have been caused by Zhu Han

He and others sneaked into the city to do it.

After hearing these rumors, Guan Duo's impression of Zhu Han couldn't help but become a little confused.

"Damn it, is this Zhu Han a monster? He's capable of both literary and martial arts, knows medicine, soup, and needles, and he can also be a damn assassin. I have to see that he has three heads and six arms?"

Under the escort sent by Li Shanchang, Guan Duo and his party quickly arrived at Chuzhou City.

As soon as they entered the boundary of Chuzhou, Guan Duo and others were delighted again.

Except that the state is close to the south of the Yangtze River, the local water and soil already have the flavor of the south of the Yangtze River, which is very different from the drought-stricken Yingzhou area.

Many farmers in Yingzhou's farmland are busy harvesting, and those golden rice fields are the envy of Guan Duo and others.

With this food, Yingzhou's Red Scarf Army could not only survive the winter, but they might also be able to take the opportunity to launch an offensive and seize some more territory.

When they entered Chuzhou City, Guan Duo and others were shocked by the prosperity of the city.

Guan Duo and the others could no longer remember how long it had been since they had seen such a bustling and lively street scene.

"It seems that there is no problem with the food supply."

Guan Duo immediately felt confident.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang occupies such a good territory as Chuzhou, it is not as simple as joking to take out some food to honor the generalissimo.

Unexpectedly, after meeting Zhu Yuanzhang, Guan Duo's wishful thinking almost came to nothing.

Guan Duo was Liu Futong's envoy, so Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han naturally took him very seriously.

After they received Li Shanchang's urgent letter, they immediately guessed the purpose of Guan Duo's visit.

They just want food, grass or gold and silver.

Regardless of whether it was food, grass, gold or silver, Zhu Han always advised his brother not to agree.

They don't have enough on their own right now, so how can they have any extra to support Liu Futong?

However, it would be unreasonable to give nothing.

After all, the main force of Liu Futong's Red Scarf Army was at the forefront of resisting the counterattack of the Mongolian and Yuan armies. Without them to withstand the thunder from the front, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others would not have been able to develop so smoothly.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, when the two brothers met Guan Duo, their attitude was very polite and respectful.

As soon as Guan Duo saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han, he immediately made a judgment in his heart.

"These two brothers are not ordinary people. They have what the ancients said is a heroic spirit!"

Since he is a heroic figure, Guan Duo naturally deals with it carefully.

After some polite remarks, Guan Duo first made clear his purpose of visit.

He follows the principle of giving bad news first, then good news.

First, he stated the request of Generalissimo Liu Futong of the Yingzhou Red Scarf Army.

"Now the army is about to attack the Central Plains and strive to regain Kaifeng within half a year. Everything is ready and we only need the east wind. We need Marshal Du to support us with 200,000 shi of food and grass!" Guan Duo said.

When they heard this number, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han were shocked even though they had been prepared for it.

"What, two hundred thousand stones?"

Zhu Yuanzhang almost jumped up and cursed.

Two hundred thousand dan can feed and drink an army of one hundred thousand for almost two months!

Zhu Yuanzhang's 70,000-strong army does not yet have so much food. Where can the remaining food come from to support Liu Futong of Yingzhou?

"Haha, two hundred thousand stones of food and grass is indeed a lot if it is in Yingzhou or Haozhou, but for Chuzhou, it shouldn't be much, right?" Guan Duo said with a smile.

Zhu Han immediately frowned and said: "Mr. Guan, you should have seen that there is no new food here except Zhou, and the original food and grass savings are far from enough for our army. If we support the generalissimo's food and grass, we will not refuse.

One can always squeeze out 10,000 to 20,000 shi with gritted teeth, but if it is 200,000 shi, even if our army does not eat or drink, they still cannot get it."

Brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded beside him and followed.

"Mr. Guan, I'm not going to tell you any secrets. I really don't have any food. If you want gold and silver, I can give you some. If you convert it, you can buy a small hundred thousand grains."

After listening to what Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han said, Mr. Guan's nose almost became crooked with anger.

In addition to the rice fields all over the city, he could clearly see how it was possible that he couldn't even get 200,000 shi of food.

As for the gold and silver treasures, Guan Duo felt even more unhappy.

He has determined that Zhu Yuanzhang and his two brothers are pretending to be stupid with him. Who doesn't know that there is a great disaster in the Central Plains and no one is selling food anywhere? Even if they have gold and silver, they can't buy much food.

"Marshal Zhu, we are both rebel brothers. We are as close as brothers. When we talk about money, we are talking about it. Now the generalissimo only needs food. Besides, this food is not borrowed in vain!" Guan Duo changed the topic and changed the subject.

Asking for food was replaced by borrowing food.

Although everyone knows that if this food is lent out, it will definitely not be returned.

"Oh, is there any other explanation?" Zhu Han asked curiously.

Zhu Han, as a time traveler, still has a great deal of recognition for Liu Futong and Guan Duo, the leading figures in the Red Turban Army.

If he could help them, Zhu Han would be very willing to do so without harming his own interests.

"To be honest, the Generalissimo was very happy to know that Marshal Zhu was going to Chuzhou again. He specially ordered me to come to Chuzhou and make Marshal Zhu the King of Chuyang!" Guan Duo said loudly.
