    How could Ma Xianglin waste such a good opportunity?  The white spear in his hand burst out into a storm of pear blossoms and struck Wang Er's left side fiercely.  Wang Er took a deep breath and wanted to level his body back to dodge, but due to his unstable center of gravity, his dodge was delayed by half a minute. He only heard a soft pop, and the white-barrel gun pierced Wang Er's left shoulder. Fortunately, Wang Er hurried to  With one leap, he neutralized most of the attack, but this shot had seriously injured him, and blood flowed out

    Wang Er was shocked and hurriedly retreated.  However, Ma Xianglin was unyielding when he gained the upper hand. He drew the tip of his spear and left Wang Er's shoulder.  Then he stabbed Wang Er in the chest, making a clear stance that he was going to assassinate him on the spot.

    Wang Er's shoulder was injured and he was unable to defend himself. He was about to be splashed with blood five steps away. At this moment, another iron rod stretched out from the side and was in line with Ma Xianglin's white-barred gun. It turned out that Azalea came to the rescue.

    Wang Er shouted anxiously: "Stupid woman, go away, you are no match for him."

    ?? Yingshanhong was unwilling to give in. He used several sticks in a row and made a quick attack. He forced Ma Xianglin a few steps away, then turned around, picked up Wang Er and ran away.  It turned out that she also knew that Wang Er's martial arts skills were far superior to hers, that Wang Er was no match for her, and it would be useless for her to come up to him. So she tried her best to launch a quick attack, and hurriedly carried her husband on her back to escape.

    When Xu Renjie on the top of the mountain saw that the situation was not good, he panicked and quickly called the guards around him to go up and snatch people away.  It turned out that he also imitated Zhu Yuanzhang and trained more than thirty guards around him, imitating everything.  He felt that this was the style of a general. Although these dozens of guards were not as strong as Ma Xiaotian and others in martial arts, they were also quite good at defense. Dozens of them rushed forward together.  Helping Yingshanhong to block the retreat, the group of people snatched Wang Er back. They saw that Wang Er was seriously injured, and the blood flowing from his shoulder dyed half of his body red.

    Xu Renjie was frightened and lost his will to fight.  Quickly order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops

    Logically speaking, it is very difficult to withdraw troops in this kind of melee. How can the enemy let you escape easily? It would be strange if they don't bite your tail and chase you for more than ten miles.  In fact, Ma Xianglin thought the same way. He wanted to cut Xu Renjie, the thief, into pieces.  Seeing Zhu Jun retreat to the other side of the hill.  Naturally, he tried his best to catch up to the top of the hill.

    But he was stunned as soon as he reached the top of the hill. Standing on the top of the hill, he could already see the village on the other side. Logically speaking, what he saw should be the ruins of a burned-out village.  However, this is not the case.  The Tujia village remains intact.  It was not burned to ashes. The black smoke rising into the sky was just burned by some firewood piles piled outside the village.

    ?That is to say.  Zhu Jun did not really set fire to the village. They just made a false appearance of burning the village. In fact, they chopped a lot of firewood and deliberately pretended to burn the village.

    Doing so would obviously consume much more energy than burning down the village. They had to prepare a large amount of firewood to disguise the burning of the village in a very short time, so they sent a thousand soldiers to do this. Otherwise, they would not be able to do it in the mountains.  There will be a thousand more Shaanxi soldiers on the hill.  If there were so many enemies, it was uncertain whether Ma Xianglin could rush to the top of the mountain amid the chaos and stab Wang Er.

    Ma Xianglin had never seen this kind of bandit army. He would rather cause trouble than really hinder the livelihood of civilians. He couldn't help but froze on the top of the mountain. He originally planned to order the bandit army to be chased to death, but at this time he shouted loudly: "Poor bandits."  Don¡¯t chase, and quickly go to our Tujia village to see if anyone is injured or killed, and if any of the little girls in the village have been kidnapped by thieves.¡±

    After a while, Xu Renjie led the defeated Zhu Jun to withdraw completely, while Ma Xianglin led his troops into the Tujia village. They saw that the village was intact, not a door had been kicked in, and not a single appliance had been tampered with.  , obviously, Zhu Jun did not enter the village at all, but just piled firewood outside the village and burned it

    Not long after, the Tujia people who had fled up the mountain returned to the village, and an old village chief came to meet Ma Xianglin.  Ma Xianglin quickly asked the old man if there was any damage to the village and how were the Tujia girls?

    Finally, the old man said: "Before these thieves came, they actually sent a scout to the outside of the village. They loudly said that they were coming soon and told us to get out of the way. There would be a fight at this time, so don't hurt us by mistake. He also called  We don't have to worry about our belongings, they will take good care of them. We didn't believe it at the time, but when we heard that the thieves were coming, we didn't have time to move many of our belongings, so we just fled up the mountain When we saw the smoke here, we still  Many children cried because they thought the thieves were burning the village, but when they bravely took a look later, they saw that the thieves had not entered the village at all, which was really unbelievable."

    The old man said: "In all my life, this is the first time I have seen such well-behaved Han soldiers. They are more well-behaved than the officers and soldiers of the imperial court. They don't look like thieves. Could it be that General Ma made a mistake?"

    Ma Xianglin was speechless.

    Outside Jianmen Pass, Zhu Yuanzhang sat in front of a small cliff, looking at the majestic Jianmen Pass, his brows furrowed together.  ActuallyBefore entering Sichuan, he had thought that Jianmen Pass would be a big problem for him. He secretly hoped that the court would make some stupid mistakes and arrange a very weak army here at Jianmen Pass, so that he could easily  Take Jianmen Pass and enter the Chengdu Plain.

    Unfortunately, this wish failed to come true. The guard general arranged by the imperial court here was Zhang Ling, the famous general in Sichuan. His reputation was only a little lower than Qin Liangyu's. Although he was almost seventy years old, he still had magical powers in his arms.  , can fire a two-stone hard bow, with hundreds of hits, and the Sichuan soldiers under his command are also extremely brave, which is really quite troublesome.

    A few days ago, several Zhu Jun's spies came close to the Jianmen Pass to take a peek at the situation in Guanzhong. As a result, Zhang Ling stretched his bow and arrows, and shot them all with one arrow. This frightened the other spies in Zhu Jun's army.  I don¡¯t dare to go near Jianmenguan anymore.

    Zhu Yuanzhang carefully looked at the Xiongguan Pass in front of him, shook his head, and finally put his hope on Xu Renjie's side, hoping that he could smoothly go around the back of Jianmen Pass from the Yinping Ancient Road, so that he would not have to worry about attacking anymore.  This is a troublesome place.

    While he was lost in thought, a guard came over and reported: "Brother Zhu Bagh, Bai Yuzhu came with the supply team again, but this time he did not put down the food and leave. Instead, he said he wanted to see you."  The guard was Zhu Yuanzhang's old brother and had followed him since the uprising. Therefore, he did not call him general like other soldiers, but called him Zhu Bage, which gave him a sense of intimacy.

    After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a strange look appeared on his face, and he said in a confused voice: "He wants to see me again? Every time he wants to see me, he brings some weird people. The first time he brought Li Jieqiong,  The second time he brought the little mute. What strange thing did he bring this time?"

    The guard was amused when he heard this.  He suppressed a smile and said: "This time he didn't bring a woman, at least I didn't see a woman around him, but there were two masked weirdos, anyway they weren't women!"

    Zhu Yuanzhang heard this.  Sure enough, two masked weirdos came?  This is really what can I say about him?  He is a food transporter.  It's not like transporting people.  What does it mean to always bring people here?

    After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang led the guards back to the tent, and saw Bai Yuzhu already waiting here for a long time.  Zhu Yuanzhang was not interested in him, but he was quite curious about who else he had brought, so he turned to look behind him.  Sure enough, there were two weirdos standing there. Both of them were wearing purple robes, which looked more like Zhu Jun's war robes, and their faces were covered with hoods.

    In the Zhu army, Xu Renjie was the only one who used to wear a mask. But after the Zhu army occupied all of Shaanxi, Xu Renjie also took off his face scarf. Now there are no generals in the Zhu army who like to wear masks.

    Zhu Yuanzhang felt a calmness from these two people, the smell of blood refined from hundreds of battles. It was obvious that these two people were good players, at least they were the ones who were beaten out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ??blood. He couldn't help but curiously asked  Said: "Who are these two people?"

    Ma Xiaotian and the guards could not help but take two steps forward slightly, standing between the two people and Zhu Yuan, in case they would do something unfavorable.

    But I saw the two men bowed slightly and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang: "General, it's us! The two cao cao, big and small."

    "Huh?" When Zhu Yuanzhang heard their voices, he recognized that it was Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew who were speaking. He was surprised at first, and then he understood that they were finally planning to follow him?  So he asked: "It turns out that you are General Cao, the second general. What are you dressed like?"

    Cao Wenzhao smiled bitterly and said: "The general must have received the message and disappeared a few days ago. The Manchu and Qing Tatars blocked the pass again. This time, the attack was more fierce than the previous times. Although the imperial court had sent Lu Xiangsheng to fight against it  But alas, many monsters in the court are holding back Lu Gong. It seems that our Ming Dynasty is in danger. The two of us were sitting on pins and needles in Xi'an, thinking hard about how to save the country. After thinking for a long time, we decided to go to the general's side.  Come and listen, do your little bit to help the general pacify the world as soon as possible, and then go north to fight against the Tartars."

    Zhu Yuanzhang had already guessed what he was going to say, so he was not too surprised. He just asked lightly: "Aren't you loyal to the court? Now that you have come to help me, a thief, how did you turn around in your heart?"

    After the two Cao Cao looked at each other, Cao Wenzhao turned to Zhu Yuanzhang and said seriously: "The current situation of the imperial court Well, it is simply a quagmire. The emperor is suspicious and fickle, and the imperial orders are changed in the past. All the officials have their own thoughts, and I only know that  Party strife. Military generals are greedy, fearful of death, and have self-respect for their troops After watching the past few years, the two of us finally came to the conclusion that the imperial court cannot survive. In a few years, the imperial court's military strength will be exhausted in Liaodong.  The Manchu Tatars will definitely be able to enter the border At this moment, a responsible and capable hero must stand up and revive the country to protect our Han people from being bullied by the Tatars."

    Zhu Yuanzhang WeiweiLaughing: "So, you think I am the big hero?"

    Cao Wenzhao bowed his head and said: "Exactly! In the past few years in Xi'an, we have seen that the people live and work in peace and contentment, the government is clear and clear, and the Zhu army has high morale and is invincible. If the whole world is like this, we will give the Qing people one million soldiers  , we can¡¯t even hope to enter the pass. Therefore, we have also figured out that instead of helping the declining imperial court fight, we might as well help you revitalize the country"

    When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and knew the truth, he couldn't help but feel a little happy. He put the big and small Cao Cao under house arrest in Xi'an, allowing them to see the territory governed by Zhu Jun every day, and feel an atmosphere different from the imperial court every day. They could see more and more  Seeing the shortcomings of the imperial court and Zhu Jun's advantages, now they have finally been subtly understood, and they can be regarded as adding two more new troops to their increasingly stretched talents.

    And these two generals have rich experience in fighting the Tatars, which can just make up for the general Zhu Jun's lack of experience in fighting the northern nomads.

    When Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Bai Yuzhu at this time, he felt much more pleasing to the eye.  It's rare that this guy also brings useful people to him. If he brings some inexplicable guy like Li Jieqiong, a little mute, I don't know what kind of chaos this army will become.

    Just when he was about to praise Bai Yuzhu, he saw Bai Yuzhu put his hand into his arms, took out a letter, and handed it into Zhu Yuanzhang's hand: "General, this is a letter written by Ma Zhixiong, the chief storekeeper of our official rice store, to you.  I must hand it over to you with my own hands.¡±

    Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but wonder when he heard what he said solemnly: "Did something happen to Mi Xing?" He was shocked.  Mihang is an important strategic plan used by itself to regulate and stabilize food prices.  This is a major event related to the livelihood of millions of Shaanxi people. If something happens to Mihang, the rear will be unstable, and Sichuan may not be captured.  Instead, Shaanxi was abandoned.  That would be a big joke.

    Zhu Yuanzhang quickly took out the letter and read it carefully.  At this glance, he almost fell to the ground in anger. It turned out that Mi Xing was fine at all.  This letter is just a thank-you letter. The front part is full of nonsense. It says it thanks Zhu Yuanzhang for helping the Ma family and thanking Zhu Yuanzhang for finding the third lady of the Ma family in Sichuan. Now the third lady has returned to Xi'an under the protection of Bai Yuzhu.  It's considered safe.  Ma Zhixiong wrote a page full of gratitude.

    Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This kind of letter also says that it must be delivered to me personally. It is simply a harmless thing. It scares me" As he spoke, he opened the first  Page, but what was on the second page surprised him. What was written on this page was that Ma Zhixiong already knew that Du Shan handed Miss Ma Xiaosan to Zhu Yuanzhang before he died. Ma Zhixiong agreed very much.  He expressed great anger that Miss Ma San did not recognize the marriage, and said that in the name of his eldest brother, he ordered Miss Ma San to marry Zhu Ba, with a marriage certificate attached, and Miss Ma San's birthday and so on.

    Even though Zhu Yuanzhang was a man of two generations, he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw such a letter. What is all this?  I am fighting on the front lines, thinking about world affairs, but you people at the back are thinking about all kinds of nonsense?  Just adding to the chaos.

    Zhu Yuanzhang turned over the first page and saw that the third page was a small piece of yellowed paper with the birth date and horoscope of the third lady of the Ma family and the real name of the boudoir written on it. Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang finally know the name of the third lady of the Ma family.  Ma Xiuling.  He couldn't help but think that Queen Bigfoot's maiden name was Ma Xiuying, while the third lady's name was Ma Xiuling. The two women had many similarities, and perhaps some kind of unexplainable fate was at play in them.

    After putting down the letter, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly calmed down. Since this was the case, he had no intention of changing anything. However, Ma Zhixiong's behavior made him a little unhappy. This guy wanted to use his sister for marriage. Back then, he had promised Ma Xiuling  The son of Zhang Douyao in Pengcheng wanted to make a solid ally for him, and now he wants to marry his sister to him, hoping to turn himself into a "relative of the emperor". Why is this person always thinking about such things?  Why not use all his talents in the serious way?  Could it be that if he was good at rice business, wouldn't he also be favored by himself?

    Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said to Bai Yuzhu: "I have read this letter. Go back and tell Ma Zhixiong, think of more serious things in your mind. It is okay to climb up through your own strength. Selling your sister  It¡¯s not a smart way to climb up.¡±

    After Bai Yuzhu heard what he said, a few beads of sweat suddenly fell out of his face. It turned out that he had escorted Ma Xiuling all the way back to Xi'an, and he naturally knew about this matter. He had a share in persuading Ma Zhixiong to give his sister to Zhu Ba.  In the future, he wanted to form a strategic alliance with Ma Zhixiong, a "relative of the emperor". Although Zhu Yuanzhang was talking about Ma Zhixiong now, it was as if he had given him a slap in the face, which made Bai Yuzhu feel a little ashamed, so he quickly  Said: "The general taught you the right lesson. Brother, you should scold that guy Ma Zhixiong when you go back. How can his old girl's sister?"?Perhaps because of the disapproval of Brother Zhu Ba, the marriage should be canceled by him.  "

    What he didn't expect was that these few words made Zhu Yuanzhang unhappy again, and he said angrily: "How come Miss Ma San is an old girl? What a good girl, why did she get such comments from you? This marriage  There¡¯s no need to retreat, just leave it like this.¡±

    Bai Yuzhu snorted miserably. No matter how stupid he was, he could see that Brother Zhu Ba had a good impression of Miss Ma San. He was flattering the horse and deserved to be kicked. He thought to himself: Oh my god,  Now I am really no longer a human being inside and out. Come on, I can eat randomly from now on, but I can't talk nonsense.

    Bai Yuzhu went back to Xi'an angrily, leaving only the second and third eldest officers with Zhu Yuanzhang.

    Zhu Yuanzhang was holding the marriage letter, as well as Ma Xiuling's birthday and the real name of the boudoir, and was stunned. At this moment, a soldier ran in crookedly and shouted: "General, something bad has happened. The leader of the generalissimo is in Yinping."  On the ancient road, we encountered white-armed soldiers in central Sichuan. The general was Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin. The leader of the general was defeated. The second eldest brother Wang was seriously injured, and the eldest sister Yingshanhong was also slightly injured."

    "What?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked quickly.

    The messenger quickly talked about the Battle of Yinping in detail, telling the story of the battle between Xu Renjie and Ma Xianglin in detail.  After Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Xu Renjie used this strategy well. He achieved strategic victory and successfully deceived the enemy into leaving the pass where they were stationed. However our army failed in terms of military bravery.  Lost"
