First Minister of Ming Dynasty

　　 Zhu Chongba was very obedient and obedient. After giving a gift to Guo Zixing, he honestly followed the arrangement of the city defenses with his father-in-law, as if there was no such thing as a grain merchant surnamed Jiang.

　　 Zhu Chongba went very anxiously, and there were many things too late to explain to Zhang Ximeng. It happened that Zhang Ximeng had no sources of information in the army. Seeing that he was unable to do anything, Ma made the move.

　　 Xu is the one who has big feet, walks fast, and is well informed. It took less than an hour to figure out the outside affairs and come back to discuss with Zhang Ximeng.

　　 "Little sir, this time there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, more than twice as much as the previous news!"

"So much?" Zhang Ximeng was shocked and asked quickly. Ma did not reserve and told what he knew... It is now at the end of the 12th year of Yuanzhizheng. It has been a year and a half since the Liu Futong uprising. At the beginning, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the city was conquered, and it blossomed everywhere.

　　 But as Yuan Ting reacted, a fierce counterattack came. As mentioned earlier, the third king of Beisuo Red Scarf was killed, and Nansuo Red Scarf also fell into a bitter battle.

　　The worst of them is the Sesame Li Li Er who occupies Xuzhou.

　　 was called Sesame Lee because in the disaster year, he took out the sesame seeds from a warehouse at home to help the victims. Therefore, its reputation spread and gained the support of the people.

　　 Zhima Li was responding to Liu Futong's actions, but he never expected that the court would send heavy soldiers. Liu Futong was not big, so he beat him Zhi Li first. What's more terrible was that the leader was actually a prime minister!

　　 Sesame Li defended for more than a month, but he was smashed into the city, his head was chopped off, and his family died.

　　 Only Peng Da, Zhao Junyong and others took the remnants and ran to Haozhou to seek refuge in Guo Zixing.

　　 To death, Sesame Lee is a fool.

　　 He doesn't understand, it doesn't mean that others don't understand either.

Taking the honor of the prime minister and leading hundreds of thousands of people to fight against Xuzhou, the reason is also very simple. This place is the key point of the canal. The disasters in the north and the Yellow River burst. The Yuan Dynasty pointed to the food supply in the south and cut off the sesame plum. Canal, Yuan Ting doesn't fight him hard yet!

　　Tuotuo succeeded in the first battle, and most of the emperors were very satisfied. Not only did they give Tuotuo the title of Taishi, they also set up a shrine to build a shrine in Xuzhou to commend Tuotuo's achievements.

　　 If the devolatilizer at this moment is going south, Haozhou has almost no capital to resist, and if he continues to go south, Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui will also be at risk.

　　 Most of them made an order to recall Tuotuo to the capital.

　　 At this time, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty still didn't understand what it meant. Soon, he would do it again in Gaoyou City, and the consequences of that time were not something the Yuan Dynasty could bear...

　　 Although he returned to the capital, the work of suppressing bandits continues.

　　 Someone besieged Liu Futong, and someone saw Xu Shouhui and played happily.

　　 Haozhou, a group of not-so-large Red Scarf soldiers, Yuan Ting sent two ministers, one Han and one Mongolian, namely Jia Lu and Yue Ge Cha'er.

　　It is generally believed that the Han-Mongolian discord is different from fighting each other openly and secretly. Jia Lu is a man of water control, and he is highly respected, and he can suppress Yue Ge Cha'er.

　　 They worked out a relatively safe entry plan.

　　 First, the army headed south from Xuzhou, passed through Suzhou, and drove straight to Haozhou.

　　 Along the way, Jialu recruited and accepted rebels, and treated the bandits everywhere, and took measures to pacify them. As long as he submits to the court, he will not be blamed.

　　 In this way, Jia Lu gathered tens of thousands of soldiers, which doubled his strength!

　　 Ten to encircle, and five to attack, Jia Lu knows very well that without sufficient troops, it is impossible to take down Haozhou.

　　 In addition to the inclusion of bandits and pirates, Jialu also ordered to severely reprimand Cheri Buhua, and at the same time asked him to lead his troops to respond, besiege Haozhou together, and make meritorious deeds.

　　 This Cheery Buhua was the first to wipe out Guo Zixing. It's just that he was courageous and didn't dare to attack Haozhou City directly.

Of course, it is false to say that Cheli did not spend no credit. His men and horses burned Huangjue Temple by accident, so that Zhu Chongba lost his last foothold and had to go to Haozhou and became a red man. A member of the towel.

　　 From a certain point of view, Cheribuhua is the wrong person in the Yuan Dynasty.

"According to the latest news, Jialu has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Yuege Cha'er has 10,000 Mongolian fine horses. They also gathered no less than 50,000 people. Adding to the 30,000 people who don’t spend it, the total number of enemy soldiers exceeds One hundred thousand!" When Ma said this, his face was pale and his eyelids couldn't help but beat.

　　 Even Zhang Ximeng accelerated his heartbeat, cold all over.

　　 It is said that there are tens of thousands of people, boundless, and tens of thousands of people are pressed over, like mountains and seas, how can it be idle!

　　 And Jia Lu is not an ordinary civil servant. He can mobilize hundreds of thousands of people, and he can mobilize the same people to attack Haozhou in an orderly manner.

　　Although leading soldiers and controlling rivers are not the same, they cannot underestimate Jialu's ability.

　　 Zhang Ximeng thought again and again, feeling at a loss.

　　 "Madam, right now the benefactor is with the marshal, can the madam lead the kid around the city wall to see if there is any way?"

　　 Ma immediately agreed, she knew Zhang Ximeng's ability very well, and even he was devoted to planning for her family, not an outsider. Ma clan prepared a battle jacket for Zhang Ximeng and took him to Haozhou City.

　　 Zhang Ximeng stepped on the top of the city, looked inside and out, and suddenly his scalp became numb.

　　 I really don’t know. Guo Zixing has occupied Haozhou for more than half a year. What is he doing?

　　 As we all know, isolated cities are difficult to defend. It is best to occupy the surrounding cities and cooperate with each other. Even if they cannot be defeated, they should build some fortresses outside the city to serve as horns for each other.

　　 It's a pity that Guo Zixing didn't do these two things.

　　 It’s not easy to build a castle, and it may be excusable, but why didn’t even the moat be cleared?

　　 Haozhou is close to the Huai River. Since the Yellow River burst, the entire Jianghuai area has become a flooded area with severe floods, siltation of the river, and a lot of sediment.

　　 Haozhou’s moat was originally more than one foot deep, but at this moment, due to siltation, some places have been leveled.

Not to mention, Haozhou City has not been heightened and reinforced, nor has it been repaired, nor has it been digging a trench... It is completely a posture of lying flat and being beaten. Zhang Ximeng is stupid. He really does not know the history of Haozhou. How did you hold it?

　　 Is it Jia Lutai's waste, or Zhu Chongba's luck, really has the protection of dragon energy?

　　 Zhang Ximeng's scalp was numb, Ma Shi saw Zhang Ximeng's worries, and tried to ask: "Is the young gentleman aware of the ill?"

　　What can Zhang Ximeng say is more than a malady, it's utterly ill!

　　 "Madam, is it possible that no one suggested strengthening the city in the past?"

Ma said: "Some people have said that, but some people think that strengthening the city is too exhausting. The Yuan Ting is because Xiuhe changes the banknotes and destroys people's hearts. The rebels will no longer enslave the people~www.novelmt.com~Zhang Ximeng is shocked. , What kind of truth is this?

　　 "Madam, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, can't you let them repair the city?"

　　 Ma's breath slightly, just whispered: "There were originally five great marshals in the city, but now there are two more... the common people often say that there are more dragons and they can't control the water!"

　　 Zhang Ximeng was really stupid, and he shrugged off the pot. This is understandable, but because of this, he gave up the city defense and waited for the soldiers to come. This is what Zhang Ximeng couldn't understand.

　　 Seriously, this is war!

　　 "Mr., what do you think?" Ma knew that his life was at stake, so he couldn't wait to say: "You have a good way to tell me, I'll go to the godmother!"

　　Ma's confidence is very high. She knows that although her godfather Guo Zixing is over half a hundred years old, the pillow breeze still works.

Zhang Ximeng took a serious look at the situation inside and outside the city, and after thinking about it for a while, he could only say: "Madam, the moat needs to be cleaned up. It should be an emergency to build an eight-foot sheep-horse wall. It's just a temporary construction, I'm afraid it won't stop. Living in Jialu, I can only make a fuss in the city."

　　 "In the city?"

"Yeah!" Zhang Ximeng pointed his finger, "These houses close to the city wall must be demolished. The distance of thirty feet must be cleared. There must be no shortage of return artillery in Jialu's army. There is no shortage of firearms in Jialu's army. Lu would definitely dig tunnels into the city... dig a trench against the inside of the city wall, and then build a low wall, behind the low wall, and dig trenches... Layers of defense, no matter how many soldiers and horses Jia Lu has, he will die in Haozhou Down the city!"

　　 Zhang Ximeng gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth. He has long been not an outsider who has opened up the perspective of God, but a person who has witnessed the blood feud of his parents. In any case, he must defeat the Yuan army!

　　 Markov thought secretly, then nodded vigorously, "Little sir, I see."
