Chapter 90 Brothers Reunion
"Brother Dingchen, do you know Mr. Zhu?" Shi Xin asked, this time you have to ask clearly first, otherwise, if you don't pay attention and then be put in prison, it won't be so easy to come out.
"We have known each other since we were young. Zhu Chongba, Xu Da, Zhou Dexing, Guo Ying, the five of us grew up together. After I joined the Red Turban Army, I became a thousand households, so I wrote a letter to invite Zhu Chongba to come to the uprising army. Unexpectedly, when I left, he came, and now he has also left.
"So, we won't have a prison disaster, right?"
"Of course, let's go. Chongba will definitely treat us to wine." Tang He mentioned Zhu Yuanzhang and looked excited: "When I was a child, I herd cattle for the landlord Liu De's family. My family was poor. Once everyone was too hungry. After a discussion, they slaughtered the calves. I stewed a large pot of beef and had a delicious meal.
"What happened later?"
"Later, we stuffed the cow's tail into the cave, saying that the cow got into the cave, and we couldn't pull it out."
"Haha." Shi Xin laughed and said, "Can this little boy's idea deceive the landlord Liu De?"
"Of course not. Chongba took all the responsibilities on himself, and as a result, he was severely beaten."
This Mr. Zhu is really a righteous person! Shi Xin suddenly had such an idea to eat the cattle he had put to everyone and take the blame for himself. This brotherhood is invaluable. It seems that selling these irons to him should not worry that he will play tricks.
After a day on the horse's back, he finally came to Zhong Li before dark, where Zhu Yuanzhang set up a camp.
Before he arrived at the barracks, he was found by Zhu Yuanzhang's sentinel from afar. He revealed his identity. Everyone moved forward slowly, and the sentry had already gone to inform.
"This camp is heavily defended." Tang He is an insider. At a glance, he knew that his brother Zhu Yuanzhang had explored the tricks of the army very well. The secret whistle, the open whistle, the watchtowers were all around, and there were also the tripping ropes and spikes outside the camp. If he attacked in the middle of the night and didn't find out the road, he would definitely suffer losses.
When the sun was setting, there was a burst of red light around, and the whole tent seemed to be covered with a layer of haze. A tiger general, wearing a helmet, wearing steel armor, holding a long sword on the ground, and a cloak behind him was flying, majestic.
"Xu Da!" After a few years, Tang He still recognized the person standing at the gate of his camp at a glance. It was his brother Xu Da.
"Brother Dingchen!" Xu Da also recognized Tang He. Tang He was older. Xu Da used to like to play behind Tang He's buttocks.
"How did you become a general? It looks like a thousand households, right? Tang He patted Xu Da on the shoulder.
"Brother Dingchen, everyone often thinks about you. If you come this time, you won't leave, right?" Xu Da asked.
"This... Let's talk about it later. Come on, let me introduce you. This is Zhang Shixin from Gaoyou, who saved my life. This is Lu Xing, my old subordinate." Tang He said and introduced everyone to Xu Da.
Hearing that he saved Tang He's life, Xu Da looked at Shixin gratefully: "Brother Zhang, thank you for saving Brother Dingchen's life."
"Where, you're welcome." Shi Xin said.
Everyone greeted for a while, and Xu Da led the way to the central military camp.
"Are you there?" Tang He asked that Tang He was two years older than Zhu Yuanzhang. Tang He was the oldest among the playmates.
"Well, when I learned that Brother Dingchen was coming, everyone was waiting in the Chinese military camp and sent me to the door to greet him." Xu Da said.
As Shi Xin walked, he observed whether he was holding a weapon around, especially in the hands of the soldiers. If everyone was holding a long gun and a waist knife, he would be in vain this time.
According to his observation, many soldiers simply surrounded a red headscarf with empty hands. Except for the patrolling soldiers holding spears, there were few waist knives. The waist knife needs more iron than a spear.
It seems that there is hope this time, and there is a bottom in the confidence. When you bargain later, you can order more.
Looking at Shi Xin looking left and right and exploring the movement around the camp, Xu Da's face was slightly unhappy, but he was a friend of Tang He and saved Tang He's life. Xu Da was also embarrassed to say anything more.
"Brother Dingchen, here it is." Xu Da pointed to a big camp in front of him and said.
This camp is much bigger than the ordinary camp outside, and there is a handsome flag on the top. Here is the Chinese military camp.
Shi Xin followed and entered the camp together.
In the tent, there were two rows of wooden coffee tables, and three or four men in armor stood up, and the armor jingled. They arched their hands to Tang He one after another, "Brother Dingchen!"
In front of a horizontal wooden table in the middle, there was a man in an ordinary robe. He stood up with a smile, walked to Tang He, and took Tang He's hand: "Dingchen, you're finally here. That's great!"
Everyone is led by him. It must be Mr. Zhu? Shi Xin thought to himself.
"Who is this one?" Zhu Yuanzhang found Tang and the scholar's letter behind him and asked.
"This is a friend of Brother Dingchen, Gaoyou Zhang Shixin." Xu Da replaced Tang and answered.
"It turned out to be from Taizhou. It's a pleasure to meet you." Zhu Yuanzhang arched his fist to Shixin with a smile in his eyes.
Does this guy know how to take heart? Shi Xin just looked at him just now, and his heart rippled and couldn't calm down.
"Son Zhu, I have been famous for a long time. When I see him now, he really has an extraordinary appearance, and he will make great achievements in the future." Shi Xin also praised. It's a lin in his heart. I have to deal with it carefully and don't pay attention to his way.
Just pretend to be stupid and look unintentional, which should make him relax his vigilance.
"Ms. Zhu, I'm really hungry all the way. Do you have anything to eat?" Shi Xin covered his stomach and said.
Hearing this, Tang He felt a fire burning on his face. You didn't give face, did you? With so many people present, there will naturally be food to eat later, and you don't have to be so generous that you can ask for food directly?
Sure enough, several people around began to show a trace of sneer on their lips.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was also relaxed. It turned out to be a small role.
"Come on, serving food and wine. Today, I will drink a few cups with my brothers." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Isn't it not that you can't drink alcohol in the army? Don't take an exception for me." Tang He is a little embarrassed.
"Our brother hasn't seen each other for several years. Let's make an exception today." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Tang He was flattered. They all said that the military order fell like a mountain, but Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to make an exception for himself. It was too polite.
The dishes are quickly served on the wooden table. Although they are just a few ordinary dishes, they are also fragrant.
"It's so fragrant, Mr. Zhu, you're welcome." After saying that, Shi Xin picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth.
I tried hard twice and swallowed it into my stomach.
Everyone no longer paid attention to Shixin and told Tang He about what had happened recently.
"Brother Dingchen, we have a team of thousands of people now. Follow us!" Xu Da mentioned the words again.
All the brothers looked at Tang He with expectant eyes, and even Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Tang He. Everyone was waiting for Tang He to answer a "yes". The surroundings suddenly became quiet, leaving only the sound of Shixin eating, which seemed so discordant.
