First Minister of Ming Dynasty

First Minister Section 25

With this kind of military spirit, if the army attacked, it would definitely collapse without a fight. If you want to learn from Haozhou, it is impossible to unite and defend the city.

That being the case, let's run, shall we?

If there is no previous defeat, Cheli Buhua would not hesitate.

However, he was afraid of the enemy and asked Jia Lu to read a book.

Then Haozhou suffered a disastrous defeat and fled in defeat.

If Huaiyuan is also lost, then there is really no way out, and the people in the court will definitely kill him, there is no luck at all.

Can't fight but can't run?

This is how to do?

Without much deliberation, Cheli suddenly came up with an idea... Shall we make peace?

Fortunately, I was smart before, and didn't stop the Red Turban Army from coming to exchange food, and gave a lot more. With this favor, there should be hope.

Without thinking about it, Cheli felt that he was too wise.

But the peace must be made without sincerity, so he immediately asked people to gather the beauties under his command, a total of [-] people, all of whom were snatched recently.But Cheli is not flowery and he hesitates, will that Zhu person be as vulgar as himself?

Although beautiful women are good, they may not be able to impress people.

He gritted his teeth, and simply took out a horse from the Western Regions that the imperial court had given him, matched it with a pair of armor, and gave it to Lao Zhu along with his own letter.

There is a small town in Huaiyuan, poor and barren, it is not worth fighting, I implore Mr. Zhu to raise your hand, I am very grateful, I present a horse and a pair of armor as a token of respect, if Huaiyuan can be spared, I will definitely thank you very much.

When Lao Zhu saw the steed, his eyes lit up. This horse was a whole head taller than ordinary horses. Its black fur was shining brightly, and it was full of air. It was worthy of being a top imperial horse.In future generations, this is a top luxury car!

May I ask which man doesn't like cars? Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it for a while, and suddenly Xunzong possessed him. He jumped up and urged the horse to run away!

The war horse neighed, its hooves turned up, and it rushed out like a bolt of lightning.

After a full quarter of an hour, Lao Zhu returned from driving the horse, with sweat still on his forehead, he patted the horse's head lovingly.

"Well, what a horse!"

Zhang Ximeng has no interest in horses, but he also understands that there is no warrior who doesn't like good horses!

"My lord, are you planning to give Cheli a high hand?"

Old Zhu didn't hesitate, "Of course we can't mix it up. He burned Huangjue Temple and gave away a horse, which is not enough to atone for his sins! Besides, he has such a good horse, what a waste of things... No, we have to increase the price." !"

If Cheli doesn't need to know that this is the case, he probably has a dead heart, you have to play your cards according to the routine!

Obviously, his protest didn't work. Under Lao Zhu's behest, Zhang Ximeng raised the demanded amount to... [-] horses, [-] pairs of armor, [-] stones of grain, and [-] pieces of weapons...

If you can hand it over, you can let him go. If you don't hand it over, the soldiers and horses in Linhuai will immediately act as the vanguard of the whole family and attack Huaiyuan.

This letter, full of lions' mouths, was delivered to Chelibuhua, and he was immediately dumbfounded.

There were so many that he couldn't even get them all together.

Unless all the people under him are disarmed, but if this is the case, it is better to surrender directly.

What should I do?

Cheli Buhua was in a hurry. Coincidentally, Yuan Ting came, not only came, but also sent a batch of food and weapons, including the Prime Minister Tuotuo's letter, telling Cheli Buhua that he must guard Huaiyuan. The bandit soldiers cannot be allowed to succeed.

Tuotuo also warned that if you keep it, all crimes can be forgiven, if you can't keep it, your head will fall to the ground!

The court knows everything?

Then, why did you give yourself something?

Cherry didn't bother to think about it, he quickly figured out the answer.

When the Yuan army attacked Haozhou, there was a salt dealer named Zhang Jiusi, who was from Taizhou. In the 13th year of Zhizheng, he brought two younger brothers, including him, a total of 18 people and eighteen poles , In the salt field, made blood for an alliance, first killed the small official in charge of salt, then took out the money, recruited soldiers, attacked Taizhou, and then captured Gaoyou!

Zhang Jiusi was overjoyed, and immediately changed his name to Zhang Shicheng, and lit another beacon fire!

It's just that Zhang Shicheng didn't know that he violated Yuan Ting's big taboo. Gaoyou happened to be on the canal, and he planned to seize Yangzhou, which was tantamount to cutting off the Grand Canal completely.

At this moment, Yuan Ting was in a hurry, and he called for surrender and sent troops to attack. As a result, Zhang Shicheng refused to accept the hard and soft, and his power grew day by day.

Yuan Ting was in a hurry to go to the room, and someone had already suggested that the prime minister should take off, follow the example of the last attack on Xuzhou, lead the army, and conquer on behalf of the sky.

It's very troublesome for him to be the prime minister and take charge of the court, and he also goes out on Sohu. In addition to making arrangements for the court, he also needs to prevent problems in other places.

Although Cheli Buhua has a lot of problems, as long as he is still in Huaiyuan, he will not be regarded as falling into the hands of the red scarf, and the enemies in the court will have no excuse to attack Tuotuo...

"Oh... I get it, I get it all. Isn't this just a gift for me! The imperial court doesn't dare to do anything to me anymore." It didn't take Che Li to figure it out, he was quite beautiful.

It seems that there is no need to worry about the imperial court for the time being, as long as they can concentrate on dealing with the Red Scarf Army.

Whoops!

If the prime minister can give me gifts, I will imitate his old man and give gifts to the red scarves. Reciprocity is a matter of course.

"Okay, I promise!"

If Tuotuo knew about this, Cheli Buhua could be torn to shreds.

The old man gave you food, wages and weapons to recruit soldiers to defend the city, not to give you gifts!

However, Tuotuo is far away in Dadu, so he can't take care of the flowers.

But Cheli didn't spend money and kept an eye out, let's make some discounts, three thousand horses, two thousand armors, and twenty thousand stones of food... The letter was sent to Zhu Yuanzhang again.

"Yuan Ting is really blind, why did he use such a spineless thing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help cursing, even if he didn't spend a lot of money on giving him gifts, he would still scold him, why is he as boneless as the emperor of the old Zhao family?

"Engong, let me see if I can ask him for more? I think I can squeeze out some oil and water."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a while, and came up with an idea, "Sir, you are right, but we have a better way to ensure that Cherry will not bleed too much!"

Soon Lao Zhu replied to Cheri Buhua.

The conditions can be agreed, but there is no other way for the other red scarves to attack Huaiyuan.For now, there is only one play.

Linhuai soldiers and horses pretended to attack Huaiyuan, and then Cheli Buhua went out to fight. The two sides handed over things, and the Linhuai red scarf pretended to retreat. Huaiyuan.

After receiving this letter, Cherry couldn't be calm for a long time.

This method makes sense, but what if the other party repents?

Cherry Buhua didn't want to take risks, and another letter from him came.

In the same way, Lao Zhu wrote back to him, you can lead 2000 soldiers, and Linhuai Red Scarves will only send out [-] people. After the transaction between the two parties, Linhuai Red Scarves will immediately retreat, and promise not to hurt them.

But you have to hurry up, King Peng is already preparing to take the Huaiyuan sacrificial flag.

Cheli Buhua was so frightened that she couldn't sleep at night, she kept sweating, and she was exhausted.

I can't wait any longer, five thousand versus two thousand, the advantage is mine!

Cheli Buhua made up his mind, and sent a letter to Zhu Yuanzhang again, and the agreement was made.

When he was about to set off, he picked a good horse for himself, and the royal horse was given to Lao Zhu, and his white horse was a little worse than the royal horse.

He also wore three layers of armor, a black war robe, a spear, a bow, and arrows. He was well armed.

As for his subordinates, the same is true, armor and weapons are readily available.

It's just funny that, armed to such an extent, they actually went to give gifts to the Red Turban Army with their weapons and supplies... I don't know what they were thinking.

……

"Sir, Cheli Buhua had no guts in the first place. He only dared to plunder the people. After a disastrous defeat, his heart was broken and his soul flew to the sky. He only wanted to survive. Even if he was given a magic weapon, he would not dare to kill people!"

Old Zhu laughed loudly, "Let's go over here and take him down!"

Zhang Ximeng followed, he was stunned, "My lord, are you going to tear your face apart and kill it without any trouble?"

Old Zhu stared at him, and snorted, "We keep our word and never lie! You just wait to record the harvest!"

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang led 200 people and rode fast horses to meet Chelibuhua.

When Cheli Buhua heard the sound of the horse's hooves, he was so frightened that he quickly reined in the horse and asked someone to protect him.

After seeing the opponent's soldiers and horses clearly, he was relieved.

"General Zhu is indeed a trustworthy person!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "The general must also be a believer!"

"Well, I have everything ready."

"Then I'll check first."

"Okay, please!"

Cheli Buhua had 5000 troops and was facing two hundred red scarves. He never thought that if he made a move, he might annihilate the opponent. Instead, he was cautious, fearing that Lao Zhu would be disadvantageous to him.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not polite, and actually came over, ostentatiously checked, and didn't put the 5000 yuan army in his eyes at all.

He acted like no one was there, after looking at it, he returned to Cheli Buhua, and suddenly smiled.

"The general is really trustworthy, we will cooperate more in the future, let's have a drink this time!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked someone to take the flagon and poured a glass for Cheli Buhua.

Cheli Buhua was still a little hesitant, can this wine be drunk?

It won't be poisonous, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing, drank his own wine first, then grabbed the empty wine glass and looked around. When he saw a red flag flying not far away, Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved.

He laughed and said: "If you don't drink, you don't drink. We have something to say here." He urged the horse forward, and it took less than five steps away from Cheli. Suddenly Zhu Chongba slammed the horse and rushed to Cheli. Li Buhua approached, stretched out his hand, hugged Cheli Buhua's waist, and then took advantage of the horse's galloping momentum, lifted Cheli Buhua from the horse's back, like pulling a carrot.

"Ah!" Chelibuhuagui yelled, "Help!"

The Yuan soldiers under him were terrified and didn't know what to do, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly shouted angrily, "Don't move, we don't hurt anyone, put down the horses, armor, and weapons, and then we will let you leave safely!"

While talking, Tang He and Fei Ju led the troops, appeared from the two wings, with banners flying, and suddenly surrounded 5000 people.

Chapter 38 The Commander Is Lost

Lao Zhu's flying horse snatched people away, dragging Che Libuhua with one hand, and a steel knife in the other, angrily berating Yuan soldiers, as if possessed by a god of war.This physical quality, this instant skill, is simply amazing.

Zhang Ximeng is far away, and he is also throwing himself on the ground. He is probably Chang Yuchun. A fierce man like Zhang Dingbian can compete with Lao Zhu.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had never been ambiguous when he rushed to kill the enemy in the early days. Later, there were more fierce men under his command, so he didn't have to charge forward by himself, but Lao Zhu almost never missed the command of the battle.

He also sent Xu Da a formation map to guide the formation of troops, but miraculously, it was also micromanagement, and Lao Zhu won the battle, which made the Gaoliang River God of War feel ashamed.

Generally speaking, Lao Zhu's force value, commanding ability, including learning ability are all top in the world.

And today's Lao Zhu has demonstrated a remarkable skill, that is extortion!

"No money at all, we will do what we say, take off the armor, keep the weapons and horses, we will let you return to the city immediately, and promise not to invade in the future. If you are willing to continue doing business, we will not let you lose money. "

"Cheli doesn't spend, and I don't order!"

Let Lao Zhu scold him so completely that he is completely dumbfounded... You don't talk about martial arts, you sneak attack Lao Tzu?

He wanted to struggle, but Zhu Yuanzhang pinched Chelibuhua tightly with one arm. The steel knife swayed in front of his eyes, and the bright blade reflected Chelibuhua's old green face.

I can't help it, I'm really scared!

"I, I agree."

As expected, the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth turned up, showing a slight sneer: "Have you heard that, quickly remove the armor!"

These Yuan soldiers were still hesitating, Zhu Yuanzhang had already thrown Chelibuhua to the people behind him, untied the silk sash, and peeled off the leaves.

In order to prevent accidents, Cheli Buhua put on three layers of armor and wrapped herself up like a rice dumpling.However, he never expected that Lao Zhu would be cheaper!

At this time Tang He also came with people, including Xu Da... This young man is also very interesting, he actually brought several wine jars, and poured wine for Yuan Jun when he came.

"Brothers, don't be offended, just borrow some armor, we are all friends, there is no need to tear your face. Look at you adults, aren't you very cooperative?"

These Yuan soldiers cried, five thousand armored soldiers, and so many war horses and weapons, are they just given to the red scarf thieves for nothing?

My lord, you should say something!

Cheli didn't even have the guts to speak. He was stripped clean, leaving only a thin shirt, trembling.Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to take off the cloak on his body, and put it on his completely buhua body.

"You know, right? Just last year, your subordinates burned our Huangjue Temple, leaving us with nowhere to go, so we had to rely on the Red Scarf."

Cheli Buhua trembled all over, and he didn't know what to say.

"Yes, I ask General Zhu to forgive me if I offend you."
