As the anti-Yuan forces in the north continued to weaken, Richardhan became the opponent that all anti-Yuan forces least wanted and feared the most.

This Yuanmeng man who was flowing in his body with a genuine Yuanmeng bloodline, but actually lived in the Central Plains. He grew up influenced by Confucian culture is really a terrible opponent.

Because Richardhan, who was born in the Central Plains and loved Confucian culture very much, had a better understanding of the Han people in the Central Plains than any Yuanmeng general in this era.

He knew very well what the Han people thought, and at the same time understood what these Han landlords needed.

Therefore, when he was in the heart of the Red Turban, he quickly grew and grew stronger under the slogan of "Repaying the world's stability and peace (protecting the inherent interests of the landlord class).

And through his origins from Yuanmeng, he has an extremely understanding of the advantages of Confucian culture. Among the various ethnic groups born in the Central Plains, he has won over a large number of outstanding talents for himself.

The Yuan Meng people, Semu people, and Han people all united under the same banner. This is also an advantage that the anti-Yuan regime cannot have.

It was precisely because of this huge advantage that Richardhan was able to develop his power step by step to such a level under the huge pressure of the Red Turban Army.

Unlike those mediocre people, Richardhan not only knows military and good at fighting, but also knows his advantages very clearly.

‘The support of the landlords of all ethnic groups’ is Richardhan’s greatest advantage.

Therefore, it was only before the conquering Bianliang that Richardhan began to resume the imperial examinations that had been abolished for many years due to war in the Central Plains.

Through this method, all scholars from the landlord class were attracted to him.

With such deep political capital and such a quick political gaze, Richardhan is indeed the most representative figure among the Chinese-Japanese people in the late Yuan Dynasty.

Fortunately, this person has a low origin and his family is not prominent in the Yuanmeng. Otherwise, Chahan Timur would definitely be a more suitable person to be the prime minister than Tutuo.

That's why Zhu Yuanzhang praised him and said: "Loyalty is as bright as the five stars, and the command is as strict as the Bingfrost, and the first person in the late Yuan Dynasty."

Now facing such an opponent, if Mao Zhengliang says he doesn't care or is not nervous, it is obviously a lie.

At this time, although Mao Zhengliang stayed in Rencheng, he also put 80% of his energy into the upcoming Battle of Julu.

Therefore, in order to stabilize the situation in Jining and other places as soon as possible, Mao Zhengliang, the generals of the Tian system who voluntarily surrendered, allowed them to resume their posts. The same is true for the 30,000 prisoners in Ziyang City.

In order to win people's hearts and stabilize the situation, Mao Zhengliang did not even choose coolie from the prisoners as usual.

Instead, he issued a charity order and said, "You are all people of our Song Dynasty, and are not extremely evil people. The reason why they fight against the king's army and commit sins is because they are forced by the evil thief Tian Feng, and they have to do it.

Now that the leader of the evil thief is dead, I am alone and have a good intention in your nature. Those who do not want to continue to serve as soldiers can return to their hometowns and become a happy farmer; those who are willing to continue to serve as soldiers can also serve under the tent and fight to expel the Tartars and restore China!”

But I learned the methods of later generations and applied them directly.

Therefore, after Mao Zhengliang's order of favor was issued, the Tian army prisoners in Ziyang were relieved. Then, except for less than one-tenth of the people who expressed their unwillingness to continue to serve the soldiers, the others decided to work hard for Mao Zhengliang.

After all, in a chaotic world, what kind of happy farmer might be?

‘If you put down the weapons in your hand, your life will not be yours.’ This is a common idea of ​​being separated from others, and Mao Zhengliang didn’t find it strange.

However, what he did not expect was that when his order of kindness was issued, Gao Yishou, who had been hiding in Sucheng, was afraid to come out, took the initiative to hand him a surrender, and he was willing to surrender to Mao Zhengliang unconditionally.

But these are all later stories. At present, with the continuous advancement of the 30,000 troops, the first confrontation between Shandong Mao Army and the Yuan Dynasty Richardhan finally started outside Juye City.

Juye City, as the capital of Jining Road, is the nest of Tian Feng during his lifetime. With Tian Feng's spared no effort in management and reinforcement, Juye City is now built tall and sturdy.

Not to mention the city's four gates have been built, the city wall is built with horse faces that can allow crossbowmen and gunners to form crossfire power every seventy steps.

Not only that the crossbowmen who defended the city could maximize their firepower advantages, there was no blind spot in the entire city that could not be attacked.

It can be said that in terms of the city's strength and defense, Juye City is far beyond Shouzhang.

Even without the unique geographical advantage of Shouzhang, Juye City is definitely a tough city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Therefore, if Guan Bao's attack was not too sudden, Juye City would never have fallen into the enemy so easily.

Therefore, looking at the tall Giante City walls several miles away, Chen Qitou couldn't help but frown.

‘Fortunately, the Tartars who conquered Juye City were all cavalry. The cavalry was not good at defending the city, and their troops were less than 10,000. In terms of military strength, I was several times more than the Tartars. I believe that using the method of surrounding three or one to exert the advantage of military strength. Within two or three days, it will be enough to conquer this city!’

Yu muttered silently in his heart, and then looked at the soldiers beside him. Chen Qitou couldn't help but wave his hand and ordered: "It seems that it is going to rain, so he will set up camp here and wait until tomorrow to attack the city."

"Yes, my subordinates obey the order!"

The commander responded quickly when he heard this. He waved the flag in his hand and passed the military orders from Chen Qitou to various battalions and divisions.

Therefore, just five miles east of Juye City, a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses were camping under the noses of thousands of Yuan troops.

But looking at the dense red flags that seemed to be endless at first sight, Guan Bao, as the marshal of the army, his face was still very calm.

For Guan Bao, although Mao's victory was a bit unexpected, they at least took some advantage. Of course, they were still far from what they planned.

Originally they planned to be a fisherman who "snipe and clam fight against fisherman to benefit". But now, the snipe has become a tiger. Not only does it eat Tian Feng's old clam with one mouthful, but it also plans to bite the fisherman with one mouthful.

‘However, no matter how hard you are, you are just a beast, how can you be afraid? Looking at this day, it was originally half a month without rain. Now, God wants to help me Dayuan!’

But I didn't know where the thick clouds came, covering the sun, and began to drizzle like silky rain.

Guan Bao, wearing armor, stood on the city wall at this time, stretched out his hand to feel the cool raindrops, and then looked at the tens of thousands of Mao soldiers outside the city who were busy setting up camp.

A hideous smile appeared on his majestic and serious face.
