Chapter 316: Dead lips and cold teeth, Zhu Zuo’s alliance
Zhu Yuanzhang stood silently in the center of the lobby, staring closely at a low stool without saying a word.
This is the lobby of the Luzhou Marshal's Mansion. There is a high chair on the left at the top, and Zuo Junbi is sitting on the chair with a golden sword.
The generals of the Luzhou Army were also sitting in the row on the left, all looking at him with strange expressions.
There is also a chair on the right side, but it is a low chair less than one foot. This is the seat Zuo Junbi left for Zhu Yuanzhang.
Tang He was furious and said loudly: "Commander Zuo, today is the day when the two families form an alliance. How can you humiliate my commander-in-chief in such a way?"
Zuo Junbi was about thirty years old, with a majestic figure but a very elegant face. He didn't even look at Tang He and said coldly: "Are you Zhu Yuanzhang?"
"I am Tang He, a general under Marshal Zhu!"
"Since it's not Zhu Yuanzhang, shut up, or I'll have you thrown out!"
Tang He became even more angry and was about to explode. Xu Da quickly stopped him.
Today, only two of them came with Zhu Yuanzhang. This was also Zuo Junbi's request. He only allowed Zhu Yuanzhang to bring two people.
Zuo Junbi said calmly: "This is the headquarters of our Luzhou Army. Even if Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui, and Zhang Yangquan come, they must follow my rules. Except for Zhu Yuanzhang, I don't want to hear anyone else's voice today!"
”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't change his expression and said with a smile: "Guests do as the host does, as it should be." He silently walked to the low stool and sat down.
Xu Da and Tang He stood upright behind him like two diamonds.
Zuo Junbi then glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "You dare to come to our Luzhou alone. You finally have some courage. For this reason, I can form an alliance with you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang cupped his hands and said: "Thank you very much."
Zuo Junbi said coldly: "I formed an alliance with you for my own sake. You don't have to thank me. In addition, after the alliance is formed, if you and I have differences, you must listen to my decision!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while and said: "As long as your army sincerely forms an alliance and has no intention of harming you, I can agree to this!"
Zuo Junbi nodded: "That's good. Zhao Pusheng only has more than 40,000 troops in Anqing Mansion. Both our families can defeat him alone. There is no need to join forces to deal with such a waste."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "Then what Commander Zuo means is..."
Zuo Junbi said calmly: "It's very simple. I attack Anqing, and you cross the river to attack Huizhou!"
Zhu Yuanzhang changed his color and said: "You want me to cross the river?"
Zuo Junbi raised his eyelids and said: "Don't you have a boat from Chaohu Water Village in your hands? Only you have the ability to cross the river and fight. We will attack together so that they cannot rescue each other!"
Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent.
Zuo Junbi snorted and said: "What did you say just now? If you and I have differences, you must listen to me! Besides, Huizhou City has more grain than Anqing, so you won't suffer any loss after defeating it!"<
/p>
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and said: "Okay, I will attack Huizhou Road!"
Zuo Junbi reminded: "Be careful of the Jiangdu Army in Chizhou, don't be discovered by them!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "I will cross the river at night!"
Zuo Junbi raised his hand and said: "Then please." Without getting up.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything more, stood up, cupped his hands, and left with Tang He and Xu Da.
Three days later, Zuo Junbi gathered 20,000 troops and marched towards Anqing Road.
The Anqing Road Administration Office is Huaining County, which is located in the same city. When it was a hundred miles away from the county seat, Zuo Junbi led 500 cavalry in a hurry.
This move was beyond the expectations of the defenders.
Zuo Junbi's five hundred cavalrymen were extremely fast. When the scouts learned about it and returned to Huaining County to report, the cavalrymen were chasing them from behind.
As a result, as soon as the scouts reported, Zuo Junbi's 500 cavalrymen arrived. Guard Zhao Pusheng didn't even have time to order the city gate to be closed, but he was rushed into the doorway by 500 men.
The defenders behind the doorway were caught off guard, and the man who was killed fell on his back.
When Zhao Pusheng hurriedly dispatched troops to encircle and suppress the enemy, Zuo Junbi had already led his men along the street and rushed into the inner city.
Huaining County is a very large county town, as it is the administrative center of the first line. Zuo Junbi led his cavalry to rush through the streets, but Zhao Pusheng was unable to do anything to him.
Three hours later, at the end of the day, the main force of the Luzhou Army arrived and launched a fierce attack from outside.
At this time, Zuo Junbi fought back to the east gate, attacking from both inside and outside. In less than an hour, he broke through the east gate of Huaiyuan County.
Zhao Pusheng was completely defeated in this battle and could only lead the remaining troops to withdraw from the west gate.
Zuo Junbi pursued all the way and continued to expand his results.
When he chased him thirty miles west of Huaining County, he suddenly saw a hillside appearing in front of him.
There is a large flag stamped on the hillside with the word "Chen" written on it. There is a chair under the flag, and a man wearing a white brocade robe is sitting on the chair drinking tea.
Behind the white-robed man were four tong drums, and a red-robed warrior stood beside each drum.
At the foot of the mountain, Zhao Pusheng stood still with his men and horses, his face no longer panicked. It was obvious that he had just faked defeat just to lure Zuo Junbi into taking the bait!
It was approaching dusk, and the red sun was just behind the hillside, as if hanging above the head of the man in white robe.
Zuo Junbi had already realized that he had fallen into a trap. He reined in his horse, stared closely at the man in white robe, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is your Excellency?"
The man smiled and said: "Tianwanjun Chen Youliang, I wonder if Zuo Shuai has heard of it?"
Zuo Junbi said lightly: "Is it the Chen Youliang who killed the old master?"
Chen Youliang stopped laughing immediately, stood up, and stared at Zuo Junbi coldly.
"I thought it would be Zhu Yuanzhang waiting for me, but I didn't expect it would be Your Excellency! Now that you're here, don't leave!"
He waved his hand, and several strong men behind him beat drums.
As soon as the drum beat fell, drum beats rang out from the east, south and north at the same time. In an instant, three troops rushed out from three directions and surrounded Zuo Junbi.
Zuo Junbi suddenly shouted: "Chen Youliang is dead!" He took out the bow from the saddle, picked up the bow and arrow, and finished it in one go.
With a "swish" sound, an arrow shot through the air and shot directly towards Chen Youliang.
Just hearing a "whoosh" sound, another arrow was shot in the air, and it happened to collide with Zuo Junbi's arrow, and both arrows were broken.

Zuo Junbi looked along the path of the arrow and immediately saw a burly man with skin as cold and hard as marble.
The man was holding a stiff bow and staring at him.
Without saying a word, Zuo Junbi turned his horse's head and led his men to break out in the direction of Huaining City.
He held a square-shaped halberd in his hand, and as he rode his horse and waved it, all Tianwan's soldiers fell on their backs, and no one was his enemy.
In the blink of an eye, Zuo Junbi led his men to fight a bloody path.
Just when he was about to break through the defense line, a loud shout came from behind.
"Zuo Junbi, where are you going?" I saw a soldier running from behind, holding two swords, it was Zhao Pusheng.
Zuo Junbi rode his horse to meet him. Fang Tian swung his halberd and knocked one of Zhao Pusheng's swords away. After another two rounds of fighting, Zhao Pusheng's other sword was also shot down, so he had to turn around and run away.
Zuo Junbi was about to give chase when he suddenly heard a sound breaking through the air from the side, and subconsciously waved the Fangtian Painted Halberd to block it.
With a "dang" sound, he felt his arm go numb. He turned around and saw a big man holding a mace and fighting with his Fang Tian painted halberd. It was the general who rescued Chen Youliang.<
/p>
That person was Zhang Dingbian. He grinned and said, "Zuo Junbi is famous all over the world. He really has a lot of tricks."
While he was talking, another stick was struck diagonally.
Zuo Junbi's arms were so sore that he didn't dare to block him. He feinted a halberd to meet him, but before the attack was complete, he leaned back and used Fang Tianhua halberd in his hand to immediately change his move and hit Zhang Dingbian's arm.
Zuo Junbi changed his moves too quickly, and Zhang Dingbian had no time to dodge. He could only block it with one arm, grunted, and swayed, but did not fall off his horse.
Zhang Dingbian's blow was dodged by his opponent by leaning back. He struck with a backhand, and heard a horse's cry. Zuo Junbi's horse was hit on the head by him and fell to the ground.
Zuo Junbi fell to the ground, rolled around, stood up and swept his halberd from behind, hitting the leg of Zhang Dingbian's horse.
With a "bang", Zhang Dingbian's horse also fell to the ground, and the man also fell.
After landing, Zhang Dingbian rolled backwards. As soon as he got up, he saw Zuo Junbi rushing over. He suddenly took action and threw the mace at the opponent.
Zuo Junbi leaned back to avoid it. Before he could stand up straight, he was surprised to find that his feet were grabbed by someone. Then the world started spinning and his whole body was lifted up by Zhang Dingbian.
Zhang Dingbian roared, and with force, he threw Zuo Junbi towards a sharp stone not far away.
The moment Zuo Junbi was thrown out, he used the Fangtian Painting Halberd to prop himself up on the ground, turned around, and stretched out his legs to clamp Zhang Dingbian's neck.
At this time, the force of his fall was transmitted to Zhang Dingbian, clamping Zhang Dingbian's head, spinning half a circle in mid-air, and throwing him away.
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
The two of them fell to the ground one after another. Zhang Dingbian rolled twice more and hit the rock.
Zuo Junbi stood up like a carp, and Zhang Dingbian also climbed up, with some blood on his forehead, staring at Zuo Junbi.
At this moment, a golden sound was suddenly heard.
Zhang Dingbian changed his color slightly and looked towards the hillside. It turned out that the one who was ringing gold was his side.
Chen Youliang can no longer be seen on the hillside.
Zhang Dingbian took a deep breath and said to Zuo Junbi: "Let's stop here today and fight another day!" After saying that, he led his men to retreat.
He found Zhao Pusheng and asked him: "Why retreat?"
Zhao Pusheng had just been saved by him, so he didn't care about his rude attitude and said with a sullen face: "Just now news came from Huizhou Road. Zhu Yuanzhang made a sneak attack on Huizhou Road, and Chen Pingzhang led people to rescue him!"
Zhang Dingbian said nothing more and led his troops towards the river bank.
In an instant, Tianwan's army withdrew and no one was left.
