Guo Zixing came to Chuzhou and was very satisfied with everything here, especially this son-in-law, who was always very respectful.

However, Chuzhou was not rich at first, and with so many troops coming, the food was indeed less and less.

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Guo Zixing smiled on his round face: "Okay, go south to Hezhou and insert the flag of our Red Turban Army onto the city of Hezhou!"

After saying that, he thought about it again and said, "How many troops do we need to dispatch to capture Hezhou?"

Seeing Guo Zixing's statement, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy. This was the opportunity he was waiting for.

"Now, the last general has recruited less than 10,000 troops. However, they have not had sufficient training yet. If they want to take down Hezhou City with confidence, they still need at least 20,000 troops."

In total, there were less than 30,000 people. In fact, the number of people was not large. Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang did not intend to attack forcefully, so it was enough to take the lead.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that he needed to send 20,000 troops, he felt that there was no problem and was about to nod and agreed, he heard a person next to him say, "Marson, take down Hezhou City, ten thousand people are enough!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he secretly called out in his heart. The person who spoke was Guo Zixing's wife, Zhang Tianhu, who was Guo Zixing's confidant. Guo Zixing would definitely obey what he said.

Especially now, when I heard Zhang Tianhu say that only 10,000 people is enough, that means he doesn't need to send troops at all, this made Guo Zi even more interested.

"Oh? Tianhu, tell me."

"If we really attack Hezhou, even 30,000 people will not be enough to fill the bottomless pit under the city, so we must be smart." Zhang Tianhu said.

Wisdom? If this sentence comes from Li Shanchang's mouth, there is still some credibility. Zhang Tianhu? He still wants to be smart? Zhu Yuanzhang resists the smile in his heart. He is a person who charges in the battle and may be unstoppable, but when it comes to wisdom, it is no different from ordinary people. Even saying this is a compliment to him. His mind is simply a stubborn person. Where does wisdom come from?

Of course, Guo Zixing would not see this way, and he was more interested: "Tianhu, tell me."

"We can cooperate with Hezhou inside and outside, and belong to Luzhou Road. We can pretend to be the envoy of Luzhou Road and then bring 300 guards to pretend to be Luzhou soldiers. In this way, we can enter Hezhou City. After entering, we will immediately seize the city gate, raise the fire as a sign, and then enter the 10,000 troops outside, and then enter. In this way, can we take down Hezhou?" Zhang Tianhu said.

After saying that, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang proudly.

Impersonating the envoy of Luzhou Road? If this had been a year ago, this plan might have been successful, but now... Zhu Yuanzhang was very disdainful in his heart, but looking at Guo Zixing's appearance, he seemed to agree very much.

"Tianhu, then you will bring three hundred men and horses, pretend to be the envoy of the Mongols, and go to Hezhou City. Chongba, you will bring your men and horses to support Tianhu and attack the city from outside." Guo Zixing said.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and Guo Zixing agreed so easily. This strategy was not even half possible, and his original purpose had not been achieved.

However, looking at Guo Zixing's attitude at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that if he opposed this plan, it would not only be of no help, but would also be suspected by Guo Zixing.

"Yes, the last general will take the order." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

If the siege is successful, the main credit will be Zhang Tianhu. If it fails, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely take the responsibility himself. Guo Zixing's order to Zhang Tianhu just now is probably the intention?

Hezhou holds the Yangtze River on the left, Zhaoguan on the right, Tianmen stands south, and Wu circles north. According to Jiqing, the ancient capital of the ten dynasties, the other side is quarrying. For Zhu Yuanzhang, it is not just for raising grain.

Although he did not achieve his goal, after Zhang Tianhu's plan was affirmed by Guo Zixing, Zhu Yuanzhang made sufficient preparations. Two days later, he led his 10,000 troops to Hezhou.

Hezhou is a new beginning for Zhu Yuanzhang. Once he catches Chuzhou, he will move forward again. This is the beginning of his hegemony!

Zhang Tianhu was full of confidence in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's army. Once upon a time, others said that he was a stubborn person, so he had to work hard to change the status quo, and he was constantly learning. For example, he had carefully studied all the battles that Chen Feng had fought, hoping to learn Chen Feng's way of using troops.

It is better to take a wise attack than to attack. However, if you pretend to be an ordinary person, you will be subjected to severe investigation when entering the city and you will not be able to bring weapons in at all. If you speak in this tone, it is better to disguise yourself as officers and soldiers and enter the city openly.

Fifty miles from Hezhou, Zhang Tianhu personally disguised himself as a Mongolian envoy. He wore a hat and exposed a small strand of hair on his forehead. The hair was braided into two braids, and then wrapped in two large rings and hung behind his ears. Then, he glued two beards and wore a grandson suit. Compared with the real Mongolian envoy, it was eighty-slightly similar.

Behind him, all three hundred personal soldiers were dressed as Yuan soldiers, and the group walked from the west to Hezhou City in a big way.

The sky was clear and the sun was looking at the city of Hezhou, and the defenders were lazy.

Suddenly, several soldiers at the city gate saw a group of people coming from afar, all riding horses, looking very imposing.

However, this is definitely not a good thing for them. The people on the city wall immediately became nervous and quickly put away the suspension bridge and closed the city gate.

Wars occur frequently in all directions, and soldiers guarding the city in various places have received orders. If they see an army approaching, they must be vigilant.

Seeing that the soldiers guarding the city in front discovered their own team of troops, they were like mice seeing a cat. Zhang Tianhu frowned and ordered his people to walk forward.

When they got here, they had no way out.

"Who is coming?" asked a voice from afar.

"Lord Kangli, the road to Luzhou, come to Hezhou to inspect the city defense, open the city gate quickly!" A captain of the guard next to Zhang Tianhu shouted loudly immediately.

After saying this, there was silence on the city wall.

After a while, I heard a creaking sound, OK, the city gate is open!

Everyone was delighted. It seemed that the other party was going to welcome him into the city.

The suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and you could see a group of people coming out inside.

Zhang Tianhu calmly beat the horse and also moved forward to meet it.

However, when I saw the person inside, my face suddenly changed drastically.

They were not here to greet them. Looking at the horse-control postures of those people, and then looking at them holding their weapons high, it was clearly here to attack them.

Zhang Tianhu's heart suddenly sank, what should I do? Just stay here, and in the absence of a stick of incense, these people of his will be chopped and killed.

What went wrong with me?

Zhang Tianhu didn't know that he shouldn't play the role of an official on Luzhou Road, because at this time, there was Daluhua Chimahamu on Luzhou Road in Hezhou City.

When he heard Zhang Tianhu below and claimed that he was Lord Wanzhe Kangli from Luzhou Road, he just glanced at the top of the city and knew that this person was not at all. Wanzhe Kangli was actually less than thirty years old, but the guy below seemed to be in his forties.

Zhang Tianhu didn't know that the person he was dressed casually was an old acquaintance of the guy on the city, so he deserved to be unlucky, because at this time, Mahamu actually arrived in Luzhou City and happened to check on the city.

Therefore, after seeing through Zhang Tianhu's trick in time, Mahamu saw that there were no ambush within a few miles around. He immediately pointed out the 10,000 elite troops in Hezhou City and killed the generals.

Mahamu is also a powerful general. He leads the team himself and goes out of the city to attack. If he pretends to be an official on Luzhou Road, he must let him know what the outcome will be!

Even if there is an ambush outside, these ten thousand people can kill the opponent back.

If there are enough people coming, you will not use this clumsy method and just attack the city directly.

Mahamu guessed very correctly. Seeing the army that was killing the generals in the city, Zhang Tianhu made his right choice in time and turned around and ran away!

If he really fights, his 300 people are not enough for the other party to get stuck in the teeth.

At the top of Luzhou city, there were shouts. They looked at their own troops and majesticly chased the three hundred people, crushing the plot of siege by the Red Turban bandits, and were very excited.

"Brother, are we attacking now?" After receiving a report from a scout on Qianqiu Bath, ten miles outside the city, Xu Da immediately asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Originally, after Zhang Tianhu entered Hezhou City, they marched quickly and arrived at Hezhou City, and they could catch up with the battle.

But now, without waiting for the opportunity to march, we received news that Zhang Tianhu was hunted down.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's long face stretched longer, and he guessed it was right. Zhang Tianhu's method was really not easy to use.

Now, do you want to lead your troops to rescue Zhang Tianhu? Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his subordinates and didn’t even have a thousand cavalry. Thinking about Zhang Tianhu, who was Guo Zixing’s confidant, suddenly changed his mind.

"Yes, we will attack immediately and attack the city according to the original plan!"

Zhang Tianhu ignored his life and death, and took down Hezhou City first.

"Yes, brother." After receiving the order, Xu Da said to the team of cavalry under his command: "Enter it immediately!"

If Zhang Tianhu is rescued, he will definitely fight against the main force of the garrison. In this way, the already stretched army will kill a group of people in battle. It would be better to attack Hezhou City first!

If Guo Zixing asked about it later, it would be said that he thought Zhang Tianhu had entered Hezhou City and was ready to cooperate inside and outside. Anyway, this strategy was proposed by Zhang Tianhu at the beginning, and he was just executing the order.

Xu Da's cavalry was in front, and Zhu Yuanzhang personally led the infantry in the back, and all kinds of siege equipment were advanced towards Hezhou City.
