Wei Chang came to the county government office and said to Xie Hongfang, who was sitting at the front desk: "Brother, you are looking for me."

Xie Hongfang's attention was focused on the map on the desk. When he heard Wei Chang's voice, he raised his head and said, "Fourth brother is here, sit down!" After that, he continued to stare at the map intently.

Soon everyone arrived one after another, but Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one missing. Xue Cong looked at everyone and said with normal expressions: "Brother Jie has something important to discuss with you."

Xie Hongfang cleared his throat and said: "With the help of brothers, we already have 20,000 people, so I decided to attack Yunhe County."

Xie Hongfang's words immediately aroused opposition from everyone. One of them said: "Brother, this Yunhe County is an important town guarded by the government and the army. I am afraid that our small number of people may not be able to do what we can."

"Yes, brother, think twice," everyone agreed.

Xie Hongfang waited for everyone's voices to fall down and then said to Wei Chang: "What do you think, fourth brother?".

Wei Chang was stunned for a moment and didn't know why his elder brother suddenly asked him. He immediately replied: "I can fight wherever my elder brother says. I have no objection."

Everyone was a little disdainful, but they didn't know that Wei Chang was the boss's die-hard younger brother. It seemed that the boss was determined to go head-to-head with the army.

Many of them had already thought about leaving. Xie Hongfang asked again: "How is the new army trained by the fourth brother?".

When Wei Chang mentioned the new army, he immediately spoke eloquently: "The trained new army has initially formed combat effectiveness, but we lack war horses and do not have large-scale cavalry maneuvers."

"If you give me another two months, I will be able to train a decent army for my brother," Wei Chang promised.

"It seems that the fourth brother doesn't agree with attacking Yunhe now," Xie Hongfang said coldly.

"This!" Wei Chang was a little confused and didn't know how to answer.

"What if I tell you that all the defenders of Yunhe have been transferred?" Xie Hongfang broke the top secret information.

"Transferred?" Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it. There was a medium-sized granary in Yunhe, but if the defenders were transferred, there probably wouldn't be any leftover food in the granary.

"And there is a lot of grain in the granary there, as well as a group of war horses," Xie Hongfang said calmly.

Everyone watched as the bait thrown by Xie Hongfang was tugging at their heartstrings with every bite. Jie Hongfang saw the greedy eyes flashing in everyone's eyes, looked at each other with Xue Cong and then pretended to be nonchalant.

"So what is your choice, brothers?" Xie Hongfang asked confidently.

"Do it!" everyone said in unison.

Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the small courtyard. He was a little confused when he saw the people walking out of the county government office happily, but he still ignored them and walked towards the small house.

"Brother Zhao!" Zhu Yuanzhang heard the voice and looked at Xue Cong walking towards him, and quickly returned the greeting: "Brother Xue".

"Chat in the house?".

"Oh oh oh, please come in, Brother Xue." Zhu Yuanzhang let Xue Cong into the house.

When Xue Cong entered the house, he took out two ingots of silver and handed them to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xue Cong and asked, "What does this mean?".

"Brother Xie told me how to let his brother suffer. This is what Brother Xie asked me to send," Xue Cong said with a smile.

"Oh, then I would like to thank Brother Xie." Zhu Yuanzhang took the money from Xue Cong's hand.

Xue Cong looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance with surprise and regret, and then said: "Brother Xie has decided to attack Yunhe. This operation lacks an accompanying counselor. I wonder if Brother Zhao is willing?".

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes became slightly cold and he quickly returned to normal and said doubtfully: "I remember that Yunhe has a lot of officers and soldiers stationed there. I'm afraid we just don't have enough people."

Xue Cong repeated Xie Hongfang's words, and Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Brother Xue, don't blame me for my straightforward temper. I just want to ask if this information is accurate?".

Xue Cong laughed and said: "Of course, the county government of Yunhe County came to tell Brother Xie face to face. I was right there."

"Oh, why is this?".

"Because a member of the army over there seized the county government's wife, and the county government's wife couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide. That's how we got this information." Xue Cong explained the cause and effect.

"That's it." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

"What does Brother Zhao mean?" Xue Cong asked.

"Since it is Brother Jie's arrangement, I dare not disobey, but I don't know who will lead the army this time?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"Brother Jie is bound to win this time, so he asked his sworn brother Wei Chang to lead 10,000 new troops to attack, and several other generals assembled 15,000 people to coordinate the action," Xue Cong said bluntly.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I will definitely live up to my trust!".

"Brother Zhao, if you are really loyal, then I wish Brother Zhao a triumphant return," Xue Cong said and walked out of the hut.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and sent Xue Cong out of the door. When he returned to the house, his face suddenly turned cold. He looked at the four taels of silver in his hand in silence.

"Oh, it's so stupid to start doing this before anything has happened!" Zhu Yuanzhang cursed secretly in his heart.

This clearly meant that he was beating himself up. In Xie Hongfang's view, Zhu Yuanzhang was trying to win people's hearts by giving him money. This was a sign of ambition.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about the purpose of this operation. If this operation was a trap, the cost of this trap would be too great. Xie Hongfang would throw his sworn brothers and 10,000 new troops into it.

Zhu Yuanzhang then thought about what Xie Hongfang could get from it if this was really a trap, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still had no clue.

When Zhu Yuanzhang reappeared outside the small courtyard, he found that the atmosphere around him was completely different from the previous few days, and a chilling atmosphere began to pervade.

After Zhu Yuanzhang had been waiting here for three days, Zhu Yuanzhang was taken to a secret room. Zhu Yuanzhang watched all the important generals arrive. When he entered the secret room, Xie Hongfang said: "Counsel Zhao is here."

"See you, General and all of you," Zhu Yuanzhang bowed and said.

"There is no need to be polite. I asked you to come here this time for consultation." Xie Hongfang said and then began to arrange how to use the troops. Zhu Yuanzhang listened silently.

"Counsellor Zhao, what do you think?" Xie Hongfang asked after finishing the arrangements.

"I admire them for their thoroughness and thoughtfulness."

When Xie Hongfang heard Zhu Yuanzhang's flattery, he waved his hand and said: "What the hell, Counselor Zhao has oversold me, but this time there is still one more supervisor. Let's see who is more suitable."

Everyone looked at each other in silence, and finally Xue Cong looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood and said: "Since none of you are willing, then Zhao is willing to recommend himself, and I am willing to go!".

Everyone looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who came forward and remained silent. Xie Hongfang slapped the table and said: "Okay! Since Counselor Zhao is willing to go, I wish you all a happy victory and set off on time tomorrow to launch an attack immediately."
