Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the house and saw the silk ribbon sandwiched on the rockery on the side. He looked around cautiously and saw that no one was paying attention to take it off. Then Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the house, came to a potted plant, and took out a letter.

.

"Tu is dead, Wei Yi, please forgive me for the poor communication caused by the bandits!"

Zhu Yuanzhang threw the envelope into the fire and meditated quietly.

"call out!"

There was a sound in the air. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ball of paper that fell in the courtyard. He opened it and found a stone wrapped inside. Zhu Yuanzhang threw the stone aside. Looking at the crumpled paper ball, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little strange.

Opening the ball of paper it says: "Danger, please consider carefully!"

Looking at the words above, Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought. After a moment of silence, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Do you know who threw it?"

"Xue Cong!"

Zhu Yuanzhang heard the sneer and said: "It shouldn't be him himself?"

"He had a guard with some boxing skills. Hearing that this man was loyal to him, he threw him away and left."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Go and find out what happened when the food and grass were robbed?"

"yes!"

"By the way, we must keep our communication with the other side normal. If we can't do it, change someone else." Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the people in the yard and walked into the house.

The people in the courtyard suddenly said with a trembling voice as if they had fallen into an ice cellar: "Yes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the note and burned it, saying in his heart: "This is a man who wants to bet on both sides, and is not afraid that both parties will dislike him."

After thinking about it, I lay down on the bed with my clothes on and fell asleep. I was speechless all night.

The next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just finished sword practice, wiped himself, got up and walked outside. He was going to the barracks in the south of the city to select people, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Liu San in front of his house.

"Counsellor Zhao!" Liu San was a little surprised to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Why are you here?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused and didn't understand that Liu San was blocking his door early in the morning.

"It has spread in the army that you want to select an elite force to go out of the city to suppress the bandits." Liu San looked at the left and right and no one was approaching Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "I have found out the origin of the bandits who have been causing trouble recently."

"Oh? You have made some progress, boy?" Zhu Yuanzhang brought Liu San into the house.

"Say it!"

"This group of bandits are the defeated troops you let go before. They fell into disgrace under the leadership of General Qian. Now they rely on robbing houses to maintain their daily expenses. This is not the first time that General Jie's food and grass have been robbed. My subordinates

Two brothers followed him to transport the grain."

"According to them, food is always robbed within thirty miles of leaving the city. Moreover, the bandits seem to know the route of transporting food in advance and can ambush them accurately every time."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and said, "Are you saying that there may be their internal spies in the army?"

"It is very possible that with these grains and grass, the surrounding bandits have been attracted. I heard that there are nearly a thousand people." Liu San told Zhu Yuanzhang his news and said with a smile: "Sir, this time the bandits will be suppressed with me."

Just one!"

"Suppressing bandits? Do you really believe it?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.

Liu San wondered: "Isn't it?"

"Okay, don't worry about it. You must be more cautious in the recent period. If I leave, be careful and I won't know how they will kill you," Zhu Yuanzhang warned.

When Liu San heard this, he immediately felt something was wrong: "Sir, suppressing bandits shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

"Hmph! Have you ever seen a bandit who asked a hundred people to suppress nearly a thousand people? You must control your own men and turn a blind eye to us even when you sleep, you know!"

Liu San heard Zhu Yuanzhang's stern tone and immediately replied: "My subordinates know!"

"Okay, you can go back first. I will make my own decision on how to suppress the bandits." Zhu Yuanzhang sent Liu San out of the house.

Then he walked towards the barracks. When he arrived at the barracks, he looked at the people who were still training under the scorching sun and nodded. When the chief officer saw Zhu Yuanzhang coming, he immediately said respectfully: "Counsellor Zhao is here!"

"Um"

"Brother Xie said that he must hand over the most elite soldiers to you. We must not miss your important event!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately felt something was wrong. When Liu San said that there were rumors in the military camp that he was going to suppress bandits, he felt that something was wrong. He was originally going to investigate information, so how could he be rumored to be suppressing bandits? There must be a pusher.

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Then bring the people here."

Soon a group of old soldiers with gray beards were brought to Zhu Yuanzhang. The chief officer said proudly: "Counsellor Zhao, these are veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. One of them can equal ten people. These are our most elite."

soldiers".

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at a group of old people followed by a group of dolls, pointed at the half-grown dolls and asked: "What about these?" You are asking the right person. These are all new troops trained by us. Each of them is one against ten.

The elite”.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at half old man, half child, with an ugly expression on his face. The chief officer looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with some sympathy. This Counselor Zhao had offended some kind of god and wanted to target him like this.

When I heard about the criteria for selecting people, I spent a lot of effort to gather a hundred people like this, half of them were recruits who had never seen blood, and the other half were veterans who were as cunning as foxes.

The chief officer was originally afraid that Counselor Zhao would cause trouble for him and he would be caught in the middle and suffer the anger. However, he did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smile and said: "Thank you!"

The chief officer looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's somewhat frightening smile, refused to organize and train the new army, and ran away.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at a hundred people and said: "Everyone, we want to treat you to meat and wine."

When the veteran Youzi heard this, his eyes suddenly shone, but the recruits, who had not seen much oily smell, closed their mouths tightly for fear of drooling and making everyone laugh. One of the veterans asked: "Sir, where are we going?

Eat?"

"With so many of us, we need to find a spacious place to eat. I think there is a hill outside the city that would be good!" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to a green hill outside Qingjian County and said.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and one of them asked: "Sir, you don't really want to take us to die, do you?"

"Why did you say this?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Everyone has spread the word that General Jie needs a team of cannon fodder to lure out the bandits. We are unlucky enough to be chosen," a veteran said with a sigh.

The group of child soldiers immediately wiped away tears and sobbed.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Who told you that we are going to die? We are going to collect the bandits. I quietly told you that the bandits have decided to join the rebels. This time we are going to the mountains to eat and drink."

"Sir, there is no such thing as joking in the army. If others hear what you say, you will lose your head," the veteran Youzi reminded.

"Don't you believe it? How about we take a walk? Besides, if I'm with you, will I make fun of my own head?"

Everyone was frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang's words and remained silent for a moment. One of them said: "Damn it, do it!"
