Zhu Yuanzhang was a little stunned when he heard that Wei Chang had asked him to enter the county town. Didn't letting him enter the city at this time give him a share of the credit?

Zhu Yuanzhang expressed disbelief that Wei Chang would have such good intentions, but seeing the bloodstained bodies and fierce eyes of the hundreds of households who came to pick him up into the city, he couldn't refuse.

He said he was inviting, but his posture was just intimidation written on his face. Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to follow everyone into the city.

Everyone escorted Zhu Yuanzhang to the county government office, but what greeted him was not Wei Chang but a middle-aged Confucian scholar wearing official robes.

When the Confucian scholars saw Zhu Yuanzhang, they began to sing: "I have heard of Zhao Yingxiong's reputation for a long time. He is a figure comparable to Huang Chao, the great sage and mentor of the Han Dynasty. I am lucky to meet him today."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him coldly and said perfunctorily: "How dare you, how dare you, Zhao Yingxiong, this is all in vain."

"Zhao Yingxiong is humble, come here! This is the official seal of Qianxi County. I hope Zhao Yingxiong will accept it." Shao Lin handed the red sandalwood box to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced sideways, but did not reach out to pick it up. Instead, he asked: "I wonder where General Wei is?"

Shao Lin looked puzzled and said: "General Wei said that after the city was put into your charge, he led his army out of the city."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. Wei Chang did not leave any words to him about leading the city defense. Zhu Yuanzhang quickly left the county government office and saw that the streets were full of people fleeing in panic, but the army was missing.

Some broken soldiers on the street began to smash, smash, and loot, and fires began to break out in the surrounding buildings. Zhu Yuanzhang became increasingly confused as to what the purpose was.

You don't want the city you fought so hard to conquer, but why do you leave yourself here alone?

Returning to the county government office, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at what other county officials there were. Only an official seal and an official robe were left on the table in the lobby. The entire county government office was empty.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw a note under the official seal, leaving a sentence on it: "Take care of yourself, see you later."

While Zhu Yuanzhang was confused, a cry of killing came from outside the county government office. Zhu Yuanzhang hid in the inner hall. Several sergeants retreated while fighting, and retreated into the county government office and blocked the door tightly.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the sergeant's armor belonged to the New Army, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked out.

Several sergeants were startled when they saw the figure. Then they collapsed on the ground and said, "It's Councilor Zhao!".

After several people wiped the blood off their faces, Zhu Yuanzhang recognized him and said in surprise: "Liu San!".

Seeing the grimaces of several people, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked, "You are all injured? How are your injuries?".

Liu San's right arm was bleeding. The sword he was holding was trembling slightly and he said tremblingly: "Counsellor Zhao, something big has happened. All the troops have withdrawn. There are only two hundred wounded soldiers left in the city. The government is chasing them."

Kill us”.

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard this and asked: "What is going on?"

"The brothers finally captured the city, but Baihu ordered the troops to be gathered urgently. All the injured brothers were left behind," a strong man said, his voice a little hoarse.

"What about the remaining brothers in the city?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"They all ran away, but the brothers supported me and came here because they were not far apart."

"Counsellor Zhao, what's going on? Didn't we win the battle?".

Zhu Yuanzhang could not answer his question for a while and just remained silent.

At this time, there began to be a sound of banging on the door outside the county government office, and at the same time, there was a sound of breaking through the air in the courtyard, and then white arrows fell on the open space.

Everyone held swords and stared at the door, ready for a desperate fight.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the remaining six or seven people and at the crumbling door. At this critical moment, he forced himself to calm down.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to everyone: "Come with us!".

Several people walked along the lobby of the county government office to the place where the county magistrate usually lived. Zhu Yuanzhang rummaged around and found the clothes that the county magistrate usually wore and put them on himself.

He handed the official seal in his hand to one of them to hold, and found several more clothes of government servants in the entire county government office. Zhu Yuanzhang asked several people to put them on.

After putting it on, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at a small door in the backyard of the county government office and ordered the door to be broken open.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the people running madly on the street, sighed, found an alley and left.

People along the way did not dare to provoke Zhu Yuanzhang when they saw him dressed in rich clothes and escorted by government officials.

Several people walked and Liu San came to Zhu Yuanzhang and asked: "Counsellor Zhao, what should we do now?".

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and asked: "First go and find the remaining brothers in the city. If you can't find them, take advantage of the chaos and leave the city."

Just like this, a few people were walking around the city.

By early morning, thick smoke was billowing everywhere, and Zhu Yuanzhang's fine clothes had become tattered, but more than a hundred people had gathered around him.

These people were all dressed as ordinary people, but their murderous looks did not look like ordinary people at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang led everyone back to the county government office again, but he heard news along the way that Yunhe County had been captured, and it was Xie Hongfang who captured it.

As soon as the news came out, more than a hundred people instantly felt that they were saved, and Xie Hongfang also began to gain some fame.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little unhappy when he saw the happy people. This group of people was organized by himself, and he would not be willing to hand them over so easily.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Brothers, please hurry up and treat your injuries!".

When everyone heard the lively atmosphere, they suddenly became depressed. Yes, they had been abandoned as an outcast, so there was nothing to be happy about.

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang realize that Hongfang said that Yunhe County was difficult to conquer, but he was still greedy for the food in Yunhe County, so he needed a bait.

And Xinjun is just a bait, he is just a discarded child that he conveniently left behind, and he is looking for an excuse to get rid of this burden.

Perhaps he also wanted to beat the military advisor. As for these wounded soldiers, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around and realized that these wounded soldiers were the second bait.

Let this group of wounded soldiers cause trouble in Qianxi County to attract attention. If your guess is correct, some reinforcements may be sent from Yunhe County to rescue Qianxi County.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about whether to defend Qianxi County. If he successfully defended the city and obtained a habitat, failure would mean the city would be destroyed and he would die.

Everyone divided the medicine they had collected along the way and bandaged the wounds. They all looked at Counselor Zhao who was sitting in a high position.

Only then did they remember that if it hadn't been for this man, they might have died in the rebellion.

Everyone gathered here because they were familiar with someone. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the people who had bandaged their wounds and said: "Gather the team and prepare to quell the chaos."

Yunhe County Government Office

Xie Hongfang looked at Wei Chang who had arrived here after a long journey and asked: "Fourth brother, is everything going well?".

Wei Chang nodded. When Xie Hongfang told him that the attack on Qianxi County was a feint to attack the city and then retreat, Wei Chang still didn't understand.

During the retreat, he encountered reinforcements from Yunhe County who came to support him, and then he realized his brother's intention.

Xie Hongfang looked behind Wei Chang to see if Zhu Yuanzhang was there and asked, "Where is Councilor Zhao?".

"He voluntarily stayed in Qianxi County to attract the enemy's attention," Wei Chang said.
