Liu San stared at the woods outside the city, his eyes full of bloodshot eyes. Now he was full of respect for Zhu Yuanzhang. The Lord said that he had his own methods, so he did not dare to slack off and kept guarding the city wall. All the soldiers leaned on him.

Liu San was drowsy at the base of the wall, when he saw fire flickering in the woods.

Liu San quickly woke up the sergeants. When everyone saw the movement in the woods, they thought it was an enemy night attack, and they all prepared for it. Suddenly a man appeared next to Liu San and said to Liu San: "It's time for General Liu Qi to take action."

The person disappeared before Liu San could see his face clearly, and Liu San was a little shocked.

If the enemy touched him like this, his head would have already fallen to the ground. Liu San did not dare to neglect and quickly led him out of the city.

On the Ming army's side, a tall figure and a short figure in the Chinese army camp were staring closely at the map on the desk. The tall man said to the person next to him: "Master Lu, these rebels are quite powerful. If we want

I’m afraid it won’t be easy to annihilate them.”

"Master Pan, what do you mean by this?" The short man asked doubtfully, his face looked a little strange, and his eyes began to change when he looked at the man named Lu.

"I think it's better to stay here first, and you and I will write a letter to ask the court to send troops to annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop."

"My Lord Pan, don't you know the current situation of the imperial court and send troops? How can the imperial court send troops now? The imperial army of Jiannukeng is pressing down on the border. We don't expect the imperial court to send any more troops." Mr. Lu

He said with a confused look on his face.

"What Mr. Lu said is absolutely true. I am making an arbitrary decision." Mr. Pan just suggested. He said that he was the commander of this army, but the court clearly did not trust him by placing Lu Mengshi next to him.

"Brother Lian Fu, I know that you are unhappy when the imperial court orders you to go to war this time, but allowing these rebels to deceive people and kill imperial officials will shake the foundation of the country," Mr. Lu warned.

"Master Lu, you built slaves and robbed the people on my border, but I came to fight against the people with swords." Master Pan stopped talking.

He knew that what he said was wrong, but he was angry in his heart. He knew that the court was at fault, but he still became the court's sword. He wanted to serve the court passionately, but the reality made him powerless.

"Master Pan, don't forget that you are a guerrilla general appointed by the imperial court. Your first task now is to wipe out the rebels ahead," Master Lu reminded.

"I'll save it," he said, then walked out of the military tent, glanced behind him and cursed in a low voice.

But when Mr. Pan just returned to the military tent and lay down, someone suddenly shouted: "The water has escaped!".

Immediately after a flurry of steps, Master Pan quickly got up and went out to investigate, but faintly heard a cry of killing. Master Pan shouted to the guards around him: "Gather the troops, the enemy is attacking at night!".

But the only voice that answered him was a shout of killing. He hurriedly walked towards the central military tent. But when he entered the military tent, he saw a headless male corpse lying on the ground. Master Pan drew his sword and looked around cautiously.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was watching on the tower, saw the fire ignited and immediately kicked Wang Er, who was dozing beside him, and said: "Quickly lead the men to attack!".

Before Wang Er woke up and saw the flames in the distance, he immediately rolled and crawled down the tower and shouted: "Gather!".

After gathering the troops, Wang Er took the lead and rushed towards the burning military camp of the Ming army. Liu San casually cut down one of the men and set fire to the tent next to him.

The roars and wailings on the battlefield echoed through the sky. Just when Liu San was about to kill, Liu San found that his hands were slippery, and when he looked again, it turned out to be a human head.

Liu San thought for a while and shouted to the Ming army: "You officials have been killed. As long as you put down your weapons, you will be spared death!".

Many people saw through the firelight that it was Mr. Lu's head and immediately threw their weapons to the ground and knelt down to be bound. Wang Er also rushed to the battlefield at this time.

The two of them marched toward the Chinese army's tent in pairs. When Master Pan heard the movement outside, he walked out of the tent in despair, knelt down and looked up to the sky and asked: "God, is my Ming Dynasty really hopeless?"

He was about to raise his sword to kill himself.

At this moment, a voice sounded: "My lord said that we must treat the surrendered soldiers well. They are also citizens of the Ming Dynasty!".

When Lord Pan heard this, he lowered his sword and waited until everyone surrounded him.

Master Pan did not beg for mercy but asked: "Who is the master you are talking about? Did he really ask you to treat the soldiers well?".

Wang Er came out and said: "My masters have said that we are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, because there is no need for treacherous ministers and villains to kill each other."

"Can you take me to see him?" Master Pan's eyes flashed with hope.

"Someone, tie him up!" Wang Er walked towards Liu San.

"You kid cheated on me again!" When Wang Er saw Liu San, he rushed towards him and the two started to struggle.

"Ouch!" Liu San cried out in pain.

Wang Er quickly helped him up and asked, "Are you okay?".

Liu San showed a long and slender wound on his arm. Wang Er quickly tore off a piece of cloth, wrapped the wound and led him to the city.

Until dawn, the battlefield was almost cleared. Zhu Yuanzhang watched the battle end on the city tower, then turned back to the county government office and fell asleep. He didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning and walked to the lobby of the county government office to look at Liu San who was hanging out. Zhu Yuanzhang asked:

"Are you okay?"

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I will be fine."

"Sir, someone wants to see you." Wang Er announced Pan's existence.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he became interested and said, "Bring it with you!"

After a while, Mr. Pan was led in with his hands tied up. The two looked at each other for a long time, and Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Untie!".

"Sir!" The two of them were a little reluctant.

"Didn't you hear that?".

Seeing that the people in the hall were already a little angry, the two of them asked the people on the side to loosen Master Pan.

"I'm Pan Lianfu, who is in the hall?"

"Zhao Sheng!".

"Zhao Sheng, the lamplighter! He is so famous," Pan Lianfu praised.

"It's just a nickname. If it weren't for the imperial court's pressure, maybe I would still be a scholar and serve as an official in the same court as Mr. Pan," Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Since Zhao Yingxiong has this intention, if I can introduce him, he will definitely make Zhao Yingxiong abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side." Pan Lianfu began to lobby after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

On the side, Liu San and Wang Er met each other and just listened silently. Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said: "Okay!".

When the two heard Zhao Sheng's promise in the hall, they immediately said: "Sir, you must not do this!".

"Stay back!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted to the two of them.

"Sir!" The two of them couldn't believe that they were not as good as this general.

When the two of them walked out of the county government office, Wang Er said: "Old Liu, what should I do if I really want to surrender to the imperial court?".

"What should we do? You, sir, have made your own decision and we will execute it," Liu San said and left without looking back.

Wang Er sighed and left.

Pan Lianfu watched the two people leave and asked, "Is Zhao Yingxiong serious?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at Pan Lianfu and asked, "What do you think?".

Pan Lianfu was frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior. Zhu Yuanzhang changed his words and asked: "How does Master Pan view the current emperor?".
