Zhu Yuanzhang stared closely at the city gate. The standing torch was a flag. There was a smell of blood in the air, and the two sides strangled each other at the city gate.

Xue Cong hurriedly walked towards the tower and asked as he walked: "Who is attacking Qingjian?"

The others were silent for a moment and said: "Some people have seen people dressed as bandits, and there are others."

"What else are you hesitating about?" Xue Cong asked sharply.

"And General Wei's flag!"

"What? Wei Chang rebelled?" Xue Cong couldn't believe it.

"Brothers, charge!"

Xue Cong faintly heard the shouting of killing and was so frightened that he did not dare to go to the tower anymore. Instead, he turned around and said: "Escape quickly!"

Xue Cong left everyone behind and said: "You hold on, I will go find General Xie to rescue you."

Everyone looked at Xue Cong who was riding a horse and was at a loss. When they saw the figure rushing towards them, they immediately dropped their weapons on the ground and crouched aside.

Liu San asked: "Where is Xue Cong?".

Everyone pointed in the direction of Xue Cong's escape. Liu San cursed and said, "Follow me!"

Xue Cong slipped out from the south gate and immediately put on ordinary people's clothes and rushed towards Yunhe County. On the way, he heard a voice: "Where are you going, Military Master Xue?"

Xue Cong was stunned for a moment, pretending not to hear, lowered his head and hurried forward.

"Someone came and tied me up."

Xue Cong knelt down and begged for mercy: "Counsellor Zhao, spare my life!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took some of his people to hide at the south gate, and happened to meet Xue Cong. Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "Xue Cong seems to have forgotten that you rejected my kindness."

Xue Cong heard Zhu Yuanzhang's chilling words and knelt down, banging his head and begging for mercy.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xue Cong's appearance and said with disgust: "You are also a military advisor after all, but you have no moral integrity at all!"

"Spare me, spare me" Xue Cong just kept repeating this sentence.

"Go, go, go," Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and said in disgust.

When Xue Cong heard this, he burst into tears and said, "Thank you, Councilor Zhao!"

Then Xue Cong mounted his horse and fled quickly towards Yunhe County. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his back and sneered: "Enter the city!"

"yes!"

Xue Cong was frightened along the way. When he arrived at Yunhe County, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no pursuers, but he didn't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang let him go.

When the soldier guarding the city saw Xue Cong, he immediately asked, "Military advisor, what's going on?"

"I want to meet brother!" Xue Cong said urgently.

Seeing Xue Cong's crazy look, the soldier immediately said: "Commenter, wait a moment, I will go and report!"

Xue Cong pushed away the soldiers, got on his horse and ran towards the city, saying, "I will make it clear to Brother Xie."

"Brother Xie!" Xue Cong opened the door of Tu Mansion and saw the leisurely Xie Hongfang and said anxiously: "Brother Xie, Zhao Sheng has rebelled!"

"What?" Xie Hongfang's good mood disappeared instantly.

"What's going on?" Xie Hongfang asked in a deep voice.

"It seems that Zhao Sheng is colluding with the bandits and leading his troops to attack Qingjian," Xue Cong said anxiously.

"Why are you panicking? There are three thousand troops in Qingjian, and those bandits are nothing more than insects shaking trees. Why are the military advisors coming here if they don't take command in the city?" Xie Hongfang's heart suddenly fell to the ground.

"Qingjian City has been destroyed," Xue Cong sighed.

"What?" Xie Hongfang's heart suddenly twisted and he asked hurriedly: "What on earth is going on?"

"I heard from my subordinates that General Wei seemed to be colluding with Zhao Shenghang, which led to the defeat." Xue Cong passed the blame completely.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, my fourth brother and I are from the same hometown, how could he betray me?" Xie Hongfang firmly refused to believe it.

"Then why don't you write a letter? If this matter has nothing to do with General Wei, you can attack Zhao Sheng from both sides while they are still on a weak footing!" Xue Cong suggested.

Xie Hongfang thought for a moment and nodded. He had eight thousand people under his command. It was just a good time for those with evil intentions to take a closer look. He wanted to kill the chickens and scare the monkeys this time!

"That's fine, I'll take care of you with pen and ink!"

As soon as Xie Hongfang's handwriting was finished, he immediately had people rush to send it to Qianxi. After hearing the report from his subordinates, Zhao Chengchu nodded and said, "Go down and prepare!"

"yes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang led the people into Qingjian. It was already dawn when the incident happened. Zhu Yuanzhang strictly forbade his men to disturb the people. The people shivered in their homes. Listening to the constant shouts of killing in the streets, they all thought it was bandits coming down the mountain to plunder.

But when the rooster crows, there is still no one coming to grab anything.

Slowly, some brave people began to walk out of the house, but their hearts immediately calmed down when they saw the rebels waiting solemnly.

Zhu Yuanzhang came forward at this time and said: "Fellows, last night, military counselor Xue Cong actually colluded with bandits in an attempt to rob the neighbors. Fortunately, I saw through his plot and defeated the bandits. Everyone can rest assured!"

Gradually, voices began to ring out from the crowd: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao!"

"Everyone feel at ease!"

Zhu Yuanzhang appeased the people and immediately returned to the county government office. He looked at the county government office full of grain and said with a satisfied expression: "I have grain in my hand, so we don't feel panic now."

"Sir!" Liu Sanyi limped in and said with fists in his hands.

"Why did you fail?"

"Xiao Shang, there's a letter from Yunhe." Liu San handed a letter to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Okay, you go down and have a rest!" Zhu Yuanzhang said looking at Liu San whose face was covered in blood.

"yes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang read the letter written by Xie Hongfang to Wei Chang and said: "This Xue Cong, why don't you understand? What good is this Xie Hongfang, and why are you so dedicated to working for him?"

"grown ups!"

"Here comes the old gentleman." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the class leader who walked in from the outside and stood up to greet him.

"Sir, what do you want?" the class leader handed the envelope to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Thank you, old man, please go and have a rest!"

"Sir, how do you think about what I discussed with you last time? My useless daughter is not just a wife, but she can be your concubine or a maid."

"Old sir, what you said is really embarrassing me. How can your daughter serve as my servant girl? It's better to resolve the matter at hand first." Zhu Yuanzhang said and went to the back hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang handed the envelope into someone's hand and said: "This letter must be given to Xie Hongfang, and he must be convinced that this letter was written by Wei Chang himself."

"yes."

Zhu Yuanzhang got up and went to the prisoner of war camp. Looking at the more than two thousand people under guard, everyone was a little stunned when they saw Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Brothers, are you and I worth dying for those scheming people? I know many people have rumors that I am dead. Yes, I almost died. Bring me here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang gave an order, and the rebels who had been working hard in the village appeared in front of the prisoner of war camp. Everyone saw tears shining in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. When they saw Zhu Yuanzhang leading the rebels to rescue them, they were filled with tears of excitement.

I work here day and night, and anyone who doesn't like me can beat or scold them at any time, but I won't lose my life, because if they die, there will be no one to work.

Zhu Yuanzhang made up a story with ups and downs and told it to everyone. Everyone was eager to die for him. Now he stood here and looked at the people in the prisoner of war camp and said: "Yes, brothers, General Xie said that he wants you to go and conduct reconnaissance."

If we know about the enemy situation, we can secretly let someone report to the bandits so that we all fall into the hands of the bandits."

Xie Hongfang was not here, so everyone was throwing shit at him. Everyone who had become prisoners of war due to the defeat said in unison because of the resentment in their hearts: "Damn, I didn't expect this so-called rebel army to be better than his mother-in-law."

The army is still dark, so I won’t do it anymore!”

A person mixed in the crowd said: "Master Zhao, I think you are loyal to me. Why don't we worship you as our eldest brother and rebel against the man named Jie!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "You still have to think more about it!"

Just then a voice sounded: "Sir, Yunhe County is sending troops towards us!"
