midnight

A group of troops came out of Qingjian County under the cover of night. Zhu Yuanzhang admired Wei Chang more and more as he watched the new army with strict military discipline.

Ten thousand new troops filed out. An hour had passed. Zhu Yuanzhang found that except for the ten thousand new troops, he did not see any other troops, and his doubts became even greater.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was just a counselor and had no decision-making power, so he could only silently follow the army.

There was no talking all night until the sky turned slightly white and a red sun hung high in the sky. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the army that was still on its way and said to himself, "There is indeed a ghost."

It was not until nearly noon that the already somewhat loose army stopped marching and rested on the spot.

Wei Chang gathered all the grassroots officers at the same time. Zhu Yuanzhang looked on with cold eyes. Only then did Wei Chang reveal the true purpose of his trip.

"Brothers, this time our destination is not Yunhe County but it." Wei Chang stretched out his hand and pointed far away.

"Qianxi County! General Xie received a tip that Yunhe County was attacked by unknown forces. Most of the troops in Qianxi County went to rescue Yunhe County."

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly startled when he heard this, and then his expression returned to normal and he continued to listen.

"We are still thirty miles away from Qianxi County. Let the brothers take a good rest. We must arrive at Xu time when we set off at the time of Xu. When we arrive, we will kill him personally." Wei Chang said murderously.

After hearing this, everyone immediately said: "Yes!" and then dispersed.

Wei Chang looked at the people leaving and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Counsellor Zhao, I didn't mean to hide it from you. After all, this is a major military matter."

Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly: "General Wei is worried too much. This is common sense. Why should we blame him? I just don't know if you tell me now, isn't General Wei afraid that someone will leak the secret?".

"Yunhe is currently in a fierce battle. Even if it is leaked, what can Qianxi do?" Wei Chang said confidently.

"Counsellor Zhao, it's better to rest as soon as possible. We have to hurry up and hurry up later." After Wei Chang said this, he lay down on the ground casually and fell asleep.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't feel sleepy and got up and walked around the entire camp. Suddenly he saw several familiar faces in a camp.

When Liu San saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he quickly grabbed him and took out his dry food and gave it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly took out his dry food and said, "Eat more, I don't need it." Instead, he distributed his dry food to several people.

Several people asked quietly: "Counsellor Zhao, is there a big war to be fought?".

"How did you know?".

"This time Master Baihu has ordered us to rest as soon as possible, but there is a big war to be fought, isn't it?" Several people whispered.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at several people and asked: "Are you all afraid of fighting?".

Several people looked at each other and one of them gritted his teeth and said: "Who is not afraid, but we are just ordinary people, so what can we do?"

"Who knows how many of us will be left after the war starts?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around at the depressed people and said: "Yes, who wants to fight? If life can go on, who is willing to put their heads in their belts?"

"But, think about why you joined this team in the first place."

Zhu Yuanzhang aroused their hatred for the corrupt imperial court and the officials who were corrupt and perverted the law. How could they be willing to do so in an era when it was either you who died or I forgot about them?

"Tell me what else you can't let go of, and I'll remember it for you," Zhu Yuanzhang said to several people.

"I can't worry about my mother. She is my only child. What will she do if I die?" one person sobbed in a low voice.

"If you die, your mother will be my mother, and I will die in her old age!".

"I'm worried about my mother-in-law and her children. If it weren't for the fear that they would starve, I wouldn't come."

"If something happens to you, I'll take care of them," Lao Zhu said, patting his chest.

"That sounds weird," the man murmured.

"Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you. Your mother-in-law is your mother-in-law. I will adopt your son as my adopted son. How about I let him study when the world is stable?"

"I am the only one in my family. My parents were starved to death. I came to the rebel army because of my stutter. Suddenly I realized that I really didn't have anything to worry about. If I die, I will die."

Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded: "Bullshit! You still have so many brothers who are thinking about you, why are you so worthless?"

In the end, there was only Liu San. Liu San said: "I am alone and have nothing to worry about."

Everyone immediately said: "Your boy has a daughter-in-law who has not yet married!"

"Okay, stop teasing me, that's a liar," Liu San said, scratching his head.

"Do you want to give up after all?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Besides, the girl said she would come back to you, and you still owe me a glass of wedding wine."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said to several people: "You all have to give me a lot of money when I come back. There is no need to fight, so take a good rest!".

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at a few people before leaving, wondering how many people he would see again.

As soon as the hour came, the army immediately set off, and soon night fell. They hurriedly and slowly arrived at Qianxi County.

Wei Chang looked at the city gate of Qianxi County from a distance, and immediately began to arrange his troops, so that a thousand people pretended to be guards coming for reinforcements to trick him into opening the city gate.

Under the cover of night, a group of people quietly walked to the bottom of the city gate. Soon, the people at the gate of the city shouted like they were facing a powerful enemy: "Who are you?".

Qianhu, the leader, replied: "We are here to help you garrison the county."

"Wait, I'll go report it," but he didn't notice that a team of people appeared on both sides of the county.

"Why didn't I receive a military report of reinforcements?" the general sitting at the city gate asked doubtfully.

"We'll wait until I go to take a look. You tell the brothers to be prepared and say that they may not be bandits."

When the messenger heard the bandit army, he immediately became nervous and quickly informed the troops to get ready.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood on a high place and looked at the battlefield. There was a cry of killing, and the clumsy trick was finally seen through.

Wei Chang had already led his troops to surround Qianxi. The general sitting at the top of the city looked at this scene without panic. How could such a small number of people get in?

But at this moment, someone from his subordinates came to report that Nancheng had been breached. The general stood up quickly and exclaimed: "Impossible!".

When the city heard shouts of killing, the general immediately sat down and said: "It's so sad!".

Wei Chang led the crowd to fight towards the city tower. There was no one who could defeat him along the way. He rushed to the city tower easily and was stunned when he looked at the figure sitting on the tower.

Blood was dripping down the long sword, and there was a gap in his neck. The man actually committed suicide. Everyone was about to throw him off the tower when Wei Chang stopped him.

"This man is a man, let him be buried alive!" Wei Chang shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed!".

The rebels also shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed!" Soon the officers and soldiers fell to the ground and surrendered.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the brightly lit Qianxi County and felt incredible. Even if most of the troops were transferred away, they should not have been defeated so quickly.

Unless there is a thief!

The county magistrate of Qianxi County looked at the leader Wei Chang and asked: "May I ask who you are, General Wei? Shao Lingong welcomes you."

Wei Chang looked at Shao Lin with a smile on his face and felt a little disgusted, but he said: "Thank you, Mr. Shao, for your help. This made it so smooth."

"Everywhere, your troops are brave and brave," Shao Lin said with his body lowered.

"There is just something that needs Master Shao's help," Wei Chang continued.

"I will definitely help you," Shao Lin said.
