That night, a short battle occurred in the woods a mile south of Phoenix City. The battle was not tragic, and the process was very fast, and it could even be described as boredom, because Bai Yuzhu's subordinates were too bad, and dozens of yamen runners led by the county magistrate were even worse. This bad army, under the surprise attack of 500 elite soldiers of Zhu Yuanzhang's army and 200 horse thieves from Xue Hongqi's army, completely collapsed in less than a stick of incense.

Since the city is not far from here, the garrison in the city also heard the shouts of killing from a mile away. More than 2,000 soldiers stationed in the city hurriedly got up and rushed out of the city in a raucous manner. Only then did they find that the county magistrate had already had a different body and head, and the white jade pillar was also in Zhu Yuanzhang's control. They did not dare to act rashly, so they had to set up a random formation and look at Zhu Yuanzhang's army from afar, watching Zhu Yuanzhang put a simple knife on Baizhang's neck.

Countless torches were lit up in the dark, and two troops from Shaanxi, looked at me, and I looked at you, and each other's eyes were filled with indescribable and unexplained emotions.

"We are the rebels of Baishui Zhuba and Yulin Xuehongqi!" Wang Er shouted: "All of them are brothers from Shaanxi, we didn't want to fight you! But you surrendered and joined the officers and soldiers, and in turn dealt with our Shaanxi brothers. Are you shameless?"

His majestic voice echoed in the dark night and floated over the two armies. Many of the soldiers in the Baiyuzhu army lowered their heads in shame.

"That person is calling out to the second brother of King Baishui..."

Someone in the Baiyuzhu army knew Wang Er. After he called out Wang Er's name, he shouted: "Brother Wang Er... we don't want to surrender, but Wang Jiayin died at that time. There was no leader in the group of dragons, and the 36th battalion was in chaos. Although Brother Zijinliang stood up to support the beam, the King of Chuang, Lao Huihui, Cao Cao, the Eight Kings of Xiying, Ge Liyan, all of these brothers were disagreeable, and each brought a rebel army to disperse in all directions. Our people were alone and lonely at that time. At that time, he felt that the sky had collapsed, and he surrendered to the officers and soldiers because of helplessness."

"Yes. We don't want to deal with fellow villagers..."

"Oh, it was the death of Wang Jiayin, who caused this situation..."

The soldiers of Bai Yuzhu yelled for a while, and more than half of them were still disobedient. No wonder they surrendered to the court and were recruited, but they were not treated well. The official soldiers and people from all over the country still looked at them as if they were looking at thieves. Everyone was wary of them. Can you feel good if you were rolled in this way?

If it weren't for the white jade pillar pressing on it, they would have risen up again.

"If you really have the desire to repent..." Zhu Yuanzhang came over and shouted: "Then why do you still form a military formation in front of us? Let's disperse... We just want to enter the Taihang Mountains, not to fight with you. You can get out of the way and let us go to Taihang Mountains."

"This...but Brother Bai Yuzhu is still in your hands..." These soldiers talked about Bai Yuzhu's brotherly feelings and could not bear to betray him: "Brother Zhu Ba, you let Brother Bai Yuzhu go, let us withdraw immediately..."

When Xue Hongqi heard their words, she was unhappy and snorted coldly. She said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother Zhu Ba, why are you talking nonsense with these guys? Just a group of mobs. Now they have no walls to defend. We can easily defeat them with just a rush."

"No...don't rush..." Zhu Yuanzhang whispered: "Try not to fight any battles that can be fought, and try not to flow as much as possible if the blood that can be shed. Even if they are mobs that can be easily defeated, we cannot waste our troops on them randomly."

Zhu Yuanzhang carried the white jade pillar in his hand and whispered: "Although you surrendered to the court, I still believe that you are a man and your words are correct. I will let you go, you withdraw your troops, and then lead the troops westward to retreat thirty miles, give us the way out, do you agree or not? Good man, don't hesitate, make a decision!"

Bai Yuzhu did not hesitate, so he did not dare to hesitate. He sighed softly, "I agree!"

"Okay, then you go!" Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Park Dao, pushed him, and pushed him out of the formation.

"Ah? Really let go?" Xue Hongqi next to him was startled: "What if this guy immediately regrets it or stops us from letting go?"

"It's not that easy." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Even if he can repent, his brothers may not agree. After all, they are all from the rebel army. It's a bit like a kind of loyalty in the world after all."

Zhu Yuanzhang was right. If Bai Yuzhu really regrets it, he will lose his prestige among his soldiers. The truth behind this is very subtle. Only those who understand the world will understand the details.

Fortunately, Bai Yuzhu did not dare to repent. He returned to the soldiers, looked depressed, turned around and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Since Brother Zhu Ba is raising his hands and letting me go, I must be ungrateful, so I will go thirty miles west, and I will never dare to turn around for a second."

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Look at you as a trustworthy man, I will tell you some of the news I have inquired recently. I think everyone in the Biguan Mansion hides this news from you and dare not tell you. I only found out that I intercepted the court's Tangbao a few days ago."

"I wish to hear it carefully!" Bai Yuzhu said respectfully.

"In June this year, I captured Puzhou City. You know this news, but you must not know the current trend of the 36th Battalion." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"What Brother Zhu Ba said is that the court never told me about the 36th Battalion, and I dare not inquire about it, for fear of breaking taboos." Bai Yuzhu's face was bitter. As the former right chief of the 36th Battalion, he was indeed not convenient to ask the people in the court about the 36th Battalion's current news. If he asked, it would be afraid of people. In fact, he really wanted to know what the 36th Battalion was now. Since Wang Jiayin's death, he had a great upsurge in everything and thought that the 36th Battalion had already come to a disaster, so he joined the officers and soldiers, but deep down he still hoped that the 36th Battalion would live well now.

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "After I captured Puzhou in June, the 36th Battalion also achieved very beautiful results. In July this year, Zijinliang, King of Chuang, General of Chuang (Li Zicheng), Eight Kings of Xiying (Zhang Xianzhong), Lao Huihui, Panshanyao and others attacked Daning County at night. It took only a few hours to easily capture Daning, and then marched towards Xizhou. In August, they captured Xizhou and became the second rebel army to capture Xiazhou."

"Ah? The 36th Battalion has also captured Xiazhou City?" Bai Yuzhu didn't know whether it was a happy or a sad expression on his face. What was happy was that his former brothers were still alive and had the strength to capture Xiazhou City. What was sad was that he actually surrendered to the court, which really lost the face of the 36th Battalion.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "After Zi Jinliang and others took over Xizhou, they stayed in the prefecture for three days, and then left the city to fight in Qinshui, Yangcheng, Gaoping, Lingchuan, Lu'an, Shouyang, Changzhi and other places. The troops were heading, and they were probably coming to this place soon."

"Ah? It's almost here?" Bai Zhuzhu's face was full of surprise.

As the two were talking about this, a fast horse suddenly flew over the post road in the distance. It seemed that it was an official horse from Jincheng in the east. Jincheng is now stationed by Wang Pu, the general of northern Henan, who joined forces with Phoenix City to intercept Zhu Yuanzhang's army into the pass of the Taihang Mountains. The Pegasus reported at the third update of the night must have emergency military information.

The knight on the horse soon noticed that there was a torch a mile south of the city. At first glance, there was an army here. He came to report the news and found Bai Yuzhu. Seeing the army outside the city, he guessed that Bai Yuzhu was also there. So the pegasus ran towards this side, shouting, "General Bai, emergency military information, emergency military information..."

When he got closer, the knight saw the scene a bit strange, but he didn't even think too much. He got to Bai Yuzhu and got off the horse and said loudly: "Urgent military information, General Pu, King of Jincheng, hopes that you can send troops to rescue Jincheng immediately..."

What? Do you want me to save him? I still want him to save me? Bai Yuzhu was shocked and asked, "What happened?"

The knight looked embarrassed, but he was obviously very anxious, and he didn't care who was in front of him. He said anxiously: "The generals in the 36th camp, the eight kings of Xiying, and the three old Huihui tribes, led tens of thousands of troops to besiege Jincheng... Please send troops to rescue immediately."

"What?" Bai Yuzhu was shocked. Zhu Yuanzhang, not far away, browsed slightly when he heard the news. Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong came so fast... They had already attacked Jincheng, with tens of thousands of troops. It seemed that Jincheng was not protected. I had known that I would not have to use a trick to deal with Bai Yuzhu. I waited here for a few days and the road to Taihang Mountain would be opened without attacking.

The messenger who sent the message said anxiously: "General Bai, what's going on here? Why is there someone on the opposite side outside the Private City at midnight?" When asked, his face suddenly changed slightly: "Is it... the one on the opposite side is Baishui Zhuba and Yulin Xue Hongqi?"

"Congratulations, you guessed it right!" Xu Renjie giggled.

"This..." The messenger was shocked.

Before he could react, Bai Yuzhu suddenly pulled out a Pu Dao from the waist of the soldier next to him, and chopped it on the messenger's neck with one knife. Blood flew, dyeing Bai Yuzhu's head and face.

He shouted: "Damn it, it turns out that the 36th Battalion is so powerful. It's ridiculous that I was too brave at the time. Because of the death of Brother Wang Jiayin, I was so brave that I was so brave that I was so brave that I was so brave that I was not good at all... I was wrong..."

"It's not too late to repent now!" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the east and said, "You still have time to help them attack Jincheng."

"Oh, now, I have no face to see my brothers from the 36th Camp in the past..." Bai Yuzhu said discouragedly: "I'll go south to Henan. The world is so big that there is always a place where I, Bai Yuzhu, will be here."

"Well, then we have a different path. I want to go to Taihang Mountain," Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
