Chapter 70 Zhu Yuanzhang's Team 1

Zhong Lilu belongs to Anfeng Road, which is not particularly far from Haozhou. This is Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown. He spent his childhood here. Most of the time, he was herd cattle for the landlord Liu De's family and had a group of childhood playmates.

When he returned to his hometown again, Zhu Yuanzhang was not excited. The plague and drought eight years ago had taken the lives of his family. Except for his married sister and his brother, there was no one in the family.

The broken thatched hut in the house has long collapsed, leaving only mottled walls. This house has long been broken down.

I don't know about other people?

The whole Zhong Li has been displaced, starved to death, and has become displaced. There are a large number of people running to join the Red Turban Army. I don't know if there can be anyone left.

Zhu Yuanzhang was wandering in front of his "home". Suddenly, a person stood in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

This man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dignified appearance, and is looking up and down at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Are you... Zhu Chongba?" The man asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang also looked carefully at the person in front of him. The eyebrows were so familiar, especially a small scar at the corners of the eyebrows. "Are you Xu Da?"

The two hugged each other tightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally found the first person and is also a general of his team in the future: Xu Da.

"Brother, why are you here? I heard that you are not in Haozhou City? I heard that he also became a senior official in the army? Xu Da asked.

"Yes, I want to go back to my hometown and pull up a team." Zhu Yuanzhang said. But there seems to be no more people in our village.

"In the past few years, there have indeed been a lot fewer people in our village. Some time ago, some people came to rob, so everyone lives in the back valley for the time being." Xu Da said, pointing to the valley behind him.

"Who else is there for our childhood playmates?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Zhou Dexing and Guo Ying are still in the valley. As for others, many of them are starving to death. Some of them, like you, threw themselves into the Red Turban Army, and now they don't know life or death." Xu Da said.

Zhou Dexing? Guo Ying? In Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, those pictures flashed by the age, and the friends riding on the back of the cow, now there are only a few people left.

"Xu Da, now there are many soldiers and fires outside, and there are insurgents who resist the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty. Are you willing to follow me and create a big cause together?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Brother, I've been waiting for this day for a long time! Since I heard that you went to the Red Turban Army from Huangjue Temple, I have always wanted to follow you. Xu Da said forcefully, "Anyway, if it goes on like this, I will starve to death sooner or later. I'll follow you!"

"Let's go with me to Zhou Dexing and Guo Ying, let's pull up a team." Zhu Yuanzhang said, with a flash of light in his eyes. He, the commander of the light pole, will immediately have his own subordinates.

"Well, we also went to persuade the young people in the same village. They also said that they wanted to join the Red Turban Army, at least they could have a full meal." Xu Da said.

The two of them were in high spirits and walked towards the valley behind.

One passed from one to ten, one to one hundred, and the nearby village was also infected. I heard that a senior official of the Red Turban Army came to recruit people, and they all came to join the Red Turban Army.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally pulled up a team of nearly 1,000 people.

However, he is very worried. With a team, there are no weapons, no food and fodder. In less than a few days, this group of teams will have to be dispersed.

When he left Haozhou City, Zhu Yuanzhang had brought all the funds. Even Miss Ma's jewelry was regarded by himself, so he gathered some money to buy food for those who came to join the army.

Is it a weapon? This is really not easy to make. It takes a lot of iron to make weapons. Now that my eyes are dark, where can I find iron to make weapons?

"Brother, dozens of young men have joined us today, and our team has grown stronger." Xu Da walked into Zhu Yuanzhang's tent and said.

Is there someone here again? Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "Is that a few more mouths to eat?"

"Brother, we are temporarily short of food, but as long as I fight a war, won't we have food?" Xu Da said, raise the war with war and take it from the enemy's hands!

"Do you think our team without training, discipline, or even weapons can beat others?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Guo Zixing has food and weapons, but although he is his father-in-law, he will not give weapons to him. Without weapons, he is bare-handed. How can he fight this battle?

"Brother, I heard that there is a donkey village near Dingyuan. There is a lot of food in it, a team of 3,000 people, and they are helpless. Why don't we collect them!"

Donkey Village? A team of 3,000 people? A lot of food? Not bad, it's a good idea!

"Xu Da, let's go, it's not too late, accompany me to the donkey village!" Zhu Yuanzhang said that if you don't go, you will run out of food in a few days.

"Is it just the two of us?" Xu Da asked worriedly.

"Of course it's just the two of us," Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Even if we pull up a team of more than 1,000 people, what can we do? There are 3,000 people, and we don't even have weapons!"

You can't use it strongly, you can only take it wisely.

The two of them rode to the donkey village.

The donkey village is built on a mountain in the far east of Ding, but the mountain is flat and not a dangerous place.

Around the cottage, it was just surrounded by branches. If he led the people and horses to attack, a charge would be taken down. Xu Da looked carefully and planned to consider how to attack if he couldn't take it down.

"Stunch! Who is coming?" The little guy at the door picked up a spear.

Xu Da took a look: The spearhead is rusty. Such a team has no combat effectiveness.

"Please inform the owner of the village and say that the Red Turban Army is coming." Zhu Yuanzhang said that although he had left Guo Zixing, he still belonged to the Red Turban Army, and sometimes, with this name, it was still very effective.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard that it was the Red Turban Army, the little man immediately put away the spear.

"You look here, and I'll report to the owner of Wuzhai immediately." The little one ordered the humanity around him.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da looked at each other and nodded. It seemed that the name of the Red Turban Army was still very loud, and the hostility of the other party immediately decreased.

"Haha, the Red Turban Army is here. Welcome. Let me see who is here?" A burst of laughter came.

Chinese character face, small eyes, high cheekbones, isn't this the guest Wu Deli who I saw in Guo Zixing's house in Haozhou City last time?

"Lord Wuzhai!" Zhu Yuanzhang arched his fist and said, "Last time I said goodbye, I thought it was difficult to see the owner of Wuzhai. Today, the demeanor of the owner of Wuzhai is still the same!"

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhu!" The owner of Wu Zhai also recognized Zhu Yuanzhang. In Haozhou City, everyone called Zhu Yuanzhang Mr. Zhu.

Since we know each other, everything is easy to do.
