"This Wu Datou is so powerful? None of our men are rivals?" Liu Futong was very surprised. He was gearing up and wanted to give it a try. Our kung fu was also good, so we just happened to compete with Wu to see who was the real one.
A good man.
Mao Gui grinned bitterly, "Taobao, Wu Baihu didn't fight them at all."
"What do you mean?" Liu Futong asked in surprise: "Didn't they all admit defeat? How could they not fight?"
Mao Gui had no choice but to explain, Wu Datou saw that there were so many people competing, so how could he beat him, but we can’t lose our style... Old Wu announced that he wanted to compete in martial arts, but our fists are too valuable.
The Mongolians all call me the best red thief in the world. If you want to compete, you must first answer a question, why did you join the army... If the answer is reasonable, I will compete with you. If the answer is not reasonable, I will be killed.
No comparison either.
Since this condition was raised, either the answer was unsatisfactory and Lao Wu was too lazy to fight with you, or Lao Wu was persuaded and surrendered without even having to compete, and just gave in.
After hearing this result, Liu Futong was also stunned. Grandma, if he went there, he would probably suffer a loss!
"Where did Zhu Chongba pick out such a genius? How do you think he found him?"
Mao Gui simply didn't know what to say. At first, he was unwilling to follow Zhao Junyong, so he took refuge with Liu Futong. Now think about it, if he had chosen to follow Zhao Junyong south, he doesn't know whether he would have become a general under Zhu Yuanzhang.
There seems to be nothing wrong with it...
Mao Gui quickly shook his head, but he couldn't think too much.
"The Taibao, in fact, I have seen clearly from my humble position that Zhu Yuanzhang used the banner of "Jian Tian", which has indeed won a lot of people's hearts. If the Taibao wants to fight Zhu Yuanzhang, he must use our banner?"
Liu Futonghu sat on the Grand Master's chair, frowning and said: "Didn't I say that I wanted to expedition to the north of the Yuan Tatars? Isn't that enough?"
"Not enough! I am thinking about building momentum. Not only us, but also Zhang Shicheng, Xu Shouhui from Gaoyou, and naturally Zhu Yuanzhang, we need everyone to work together to launch the Northern Expedition to Dayuan."
Liu Futong was startled, then shook his head and said: "They will not really commit to the Northern Expedition, let alone listen to our orders. You are making things simple."
Mao Gui also smiled and said: "This is what Taibao wants! If they dare not respond to the Northern Expedition, it means that what they say is false and deceptive. Then how can Zhu Yuanzhang win over people's hearts?"
Liu Futong was stunned for a while, then suddenly scratched his beard and laughed loudly, "Okay, this is a good move! You don't even have the heart to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, so why are you talking about rebuilding the world! By the way, Zhu Yuanzhang hasn't become king yet, has he?"
Mao Guidao: "It is said that he plans to be called marshal. This man is quite stable."
Liu Futong snorted. He said he was prudent. After all, he still lacked courage and responsibility.
"Let's do this, I'll make him a marshal." When Liu Futong was thinking about what to make him, he thought of two people again, Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou!
After Guo Zixing's death, these two people did not join Zhu Yuanzhang, but joined Han and Song Dynasties.
Of course, Liu Futong doesn't think much of these two people. If it weren't for Wu Datou, he might have forgotten about these two people. In this case, don't blame me for giving you some eye drops named Zhu.
"Pass on my order, make Guo Tianxu the capital marshal, Zhang Tianyou the right deputy marshal, and Zhu Yuanzhang the left deputy marshal. Let them lead the Huaixi Red Scarf, go north to form an alliance, and jointly attack the Yuan Dynasty in the north!"
Liu Futong made a move, and he also played two cards, one was Northern Expedition and the other was Guo Tianxu. It depends on how you, surnamed Zhu, respond to the move?
…
"Sir, those prisoners of war signed a blood letter jointly signed by them."
Zhang Ximeng didn't understand what he meant. He reached out to take the blood book from Guo Ying's hand and said casually: "Do you want to put it back?"
Guo Ying shook her head bitterly, "No, they don't want to use it in exchange, they want to stay with us!"
Zhang Ximeng was also stunned at this moment. He opened the blood book and read it for a while before he figured it out. It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang had said that he could accept the return, either a hundred or a thousand.
As a result, in order to exchange for Wu Datou, they ordered to prepare prisoners... As expected, they enthusiastically requested and rushed to return to Dayuan's arms, but it did not happen.
On the contrary, many prisoners were signed in blood. No matter what, they did not want to be released and were willing to stay with Zhu Jiajun, even if they were allowed to farm!
When Zhang Ximeng saw that something was abnormal, he did not hesitate to understand the situation.
Soon Zhang Ximeng knew what the prisoners of the Yuan army were thinking: after Gaoyou's defeat, water transportation to the southeast was almost cut off. Now most of the capital has to use gold and silver to buy food, one stone and one tael of silver, and the price will skyrocket in the future.
Those who were captured did not receive preferential treatment when they returned. It was almost impossible to have a full stomach.
As for the prisoners who stay with the Zhu Jiajun, the current prisoners are mainly involved in the summer harvest, helping the people sow seeds, and building water conservancy projects... No matter what kind of work they do, they can still have enough to eat!
Especially for the summer harvest for the common people, every household has saved food for all ages. The common people are still kind. Although they know that these people are prisoners and have never done anything good, they are now working for their families honestly and are so tired that they are covered in sweat.
, it is unjustifiable not to give him a full meal.
Steaming big steamed buns and boiling noodles, some people beat a few poached eggs into the noodle soup, and some people added vegetable leaves and poured some finely ground sesame oil to make it full of color, flavor and flavor.
These prisoners all cried. They couldn't eat such good food in the army!
Just work with Zhu Jiajun.
If the superiors are merciful and give them a piece of land to settle down, it will be worth selling their lives to someone named Zhu!
Everyone really didn't want to go back, but Wu Datou couldn't ignore it.
Zhang Ximeng was anxious, "How about this, I'll give you travel expenses, let's exchange Wu Datou back first, and then you can escape back?"
When the prisoners heard this, they all shook their heads.
Don't be kidding, if we have money on us, it will definitely be robbed.
"Experience, if we are sent back, we will definitely be demoted as slaves and directly sent to the grasslands of the Western Regions. This life will be over!"
The prisoners cried and cried, and Zhang Ximeng was helpless.
Could it be that Lao Wu just doesn’t care?
Just when Zhang Ximeng was anxious, the news finally came that Wu Datou had escaped from the hands of the Yuan army!
"Hey! What a skill!" Zhang Ximeng slapped his thigh and asked hurriedly: "Then, when will he come back?"
Guo Ying shook his head again, "Sir, he came back, but he was captured by Liu Futong's people."
"What?"
Guo Yingdao: "He was crossing the Yellow River to go south, and passed Liu Futong's territory on the way... This man named Liu was unjust and arrested Lao Wu directly! Sir, I think we should go and ask for him! If Liu Futong doesn't agree,
We are not done with him! No matter what, we must rescue Old Wu!"
"etc!"
Zhang Ximeng waved his hand, and it was actually Liu Futong who took action. This is interesting.
Wu Datou is a typical person whose reputation far exceeds his actual influence.
How to describe it?
To give an example of inappropriate hatred, it’s a bit like Mi Heng. He wears the title of a celebrity and curses people everywhere. You hate him, but you can’t kill him casually, otherwise it will leave a bad reputation. In the end, you can only give it to Huang Zu.
Silly, use his hands to kill people.
Although Wu Datou and Mi Heng are two extremes, killing him is the same. There is no gain, but it will ruin his reputation. With Liu Futong's IQ, he should not be stupid.
Lao Wu is still safe for the time being, so there is no need to rush to exchange others.
Zhang Ximeng breathed a long sigh of relief and ran to see Zhu Yuanzhang, so that Zhu Yuanzhang could also breathe a sigh of relief and discuss how to deal with Liu Futong.
When Zhang Ximeng arrived, it happened that Zhu Yuanzhang was helping his wife walk around. After this circle, he had to support Ma and concentrate on the child who was about to be born. He walked the slowest, but was the most tiring and sweaty.
His clothes were exposed and he was exhausted.
After listening to Zhang Ximeng's words, Lao Zhu stared blankly, leaning on his seat and putting one foot on the chair, showing no image at all. Anyway, there was no need to hold it with Zhang Ximeng.
Lao Zhu thought for a while and said: "Liu Futong was the first to raise the flag of righteousness. This man can be called a hero! I am afraid he will be our strong enemy in the future!"
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said: "My lord, Liu Futong continues to launch the Northern Expedition. If he can successfully enter Dadu, he will really be a powerful enemy. If he cannot enter, he is just the vanguard for our lord!"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly sat up and said in a deep voice: "Sir, Yuan Ting has reached this point. It is just a shabby house with ventilation on all sides. A Wu Datou can make them fly like dogs. Liu Futong can't destroy Yuan Ting?"
Zhang Ximeng shook his head, "My lord, running out of strength and dying are not the same thing. What's more, although the Yuan Dynasty does not have soldiers and horses, the landlords from all over the country are still armed, and there are some outstanding ones among them. They may not work for the Yuan Dynasty, but they can protect their own family.
He is still very concerned about glory and wealth. In comparison, Liu Futong's background is not enough and his foundation is unstable. If he conscientiously fixes his internal affairs and accumulates strength, he may still have a chance. If he rushes to fight Yuan Ting, what will happen to him
Most likely it won’t be good. It’s just that by using his hands to weaken Yuan Ting, my lord’s Northern Expedition will be much easier in the future!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's brows trembled and he examined Zhang Ximeng's judgment. Generally speaking, he agreed with it, but Lao Zhu also had some considerations. No matter how he maintained it, Liu Futong's momentum should not be underestimated.
"Liu Futong supports King Xiao Ming. The trend has been achieved. Compared with him, we are still a little behind. We must win Jiqing as soon as possible! We can't wait any longer!"
Zhang Ximeng also agreed. After a short period of reorganizing the army, Zhu Jiajun has already gained some insights, especially since the main force has been transferred from Jiangbei. At this moment, the main force of Zhu Jiajun is 70,000, not counting the navy.
It can be said that the army is strong and the generals are star-studded.
"Send the order and let Chang Yuchun lead three thousand troops as the vanguard to march into peace!"
Taiping Road is next to Jiqing Road, and the administrative center is Dangtu. Within Taiping Road, there is a most important place called Caishi, also known as Niuzhu!
At that time, the Sui Dynasty general Han Qinhu attacked Caishi, destroyed Chen, and ended the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Yu Yunwen also defeated the Jin army in Caishi and saved half of the southern half of the Yangtze River.
This ancient battlefield will once again witness the rise and fall of dynasties...
