Boom!
Fu Youde personally led the cavalry to gallop to the stronghold where the defeated troops of the former Qin Dynasty were collected. The sound of horse hooves thundered like thunder, which had already alerted the sentries outside the village.
At this time, the village in the distance was already on guard.
Fu Youde looked forward and saw that the mountain stronghold in front was built in a wide and strict manner and the fort was tightly guarded. Behind it were rolling mountains with sufficient forest terrain as a barrier.
The Chi River on the right runs through the mountains. Many places where the river flows are steep cliffs, forming waterfalls. It is impossible for warships to pass until the waterway is opened.
Just by looking at the location of the cottage, one can tell that the owner of the cottage has good military literacy.
The mountains and forests stretch out, rivers run through it, and it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is indeed an excellent place.
Even if there is a large army encircling and suppressing them, the villagers can still fight and retreat at the same time, using the endless mountains and forests to fight guerrillas.
Fu Youde made a judgment in his mind and rode forward alone.
"Go and report to the leader of your village, tell him that an old friend is visiting, and ask him to come out and meet you!"
Fu Youde shouted loudly.
A sentinel from the cottage immediately went back to report.
After a while, the gate of the cottage opened, and two men in iron armor rushed out with dozens of riders.
These two men were extremely powerful. Without knowing the purpose of the sudden appearance of thousands of cavalry, they came forward with a small number of troops and did not worry about their own safety at all.
It can be seen that the other party is full of confidence.
Dozens of people from the village came to the front of the mountain and immediately saw Fu Youde.
"The flag of the Huai Army...ah, it's Brother Fu!"
One of the men looked a little solemn after seeing the flag of the Huai Army. However, when his eyes fell on Fu Youde, he seemed to be unconvinced and couldn't help but lean forward.
After recognizing Fu Youde, the man burst into laughter and urged his horse to run out of the team.
Seeing this, another man also stepped forward.
"Wang Bi, are you here too?"
After Fu Youde saw the man running towards him first, he couldn't help but show surprise on his face.
"Brother Fu!"
At this time, the owner of the cottage, another man Tang Shengzong, rushed forward to greet Fu Youde.
Fu Youde received the news that the owner of this cottage was Tang Shengzong.
Unexpectedly, when we arrived at the place, another good brother with an extraordinary friendship appeared.
Fu Youde dismounted, stepped forward with a big smile, and grabbed Wang Bi's arm.
Like him, Tang Shengzong and Wang Bi were both founding heroes in the early Ming Dynasty. Among them, Tang Shengzong was a little older than Wang Bi. He was brave and resourceful, made many military exploits, and was later named a marquis.
Wang Bi was famous for his bravery and was known as the King of Double Swords.
The fate of the two was not good either.
There were more than thirty founding officials in the early Ming Dynasty, but only a few died well. Tang Shengzong was accused of using post horses without permission, and was stripped of his title as a result. Later he rose up and led troops to suppress bandits, but he still couldn't escape the sword.
Different from other Huaixi nobles, Tang Shengzong did not do anything to oppress the good people. After being killed, he was regarded as innocent by many people.
In the second year after he was killed, Zhu Yuanzhang built a temple for him, which was regarded as a partial vindication. However, since everyone died, it was useless to vindicate him.
"Why did the two brothers settle here?"
After greeting each other, the atmosphere between the three people quickly became familiar.
The three of them are all from Huaixi and were members of the Xiangdang Party in the history of the origin world. Now that they have arrived in China, they are all from the Ming Dynasty and at the same time point, which is even more rare. Gugao
Now, people of the same era are subconsciously holding together to survive in the unfamiliar continent of China.
They are acquaintances from the township party, and their relationship is even closer.
After recognizing each other, all the Huai army cavalry and the cavalry from the village retreated far away. Only three people came to talk under a big tree.
After a few simple jokes.
Fu Youde was the first to ask, wanting to know what the two experienced after arriving in China.
Wang Bi said directly: "We were originally near Chuzhou. I heard that there was a lot of chaos in Jiangnan, and I heard Brother Tang's name, so I came over to meet Brother Tang first... We are going home now!"
Wang Bi and Fu Youde have a very good relationship.
In history, when the Ming army attacked Huaidong, the two had a good friendship and they were congenial. Later, Wang Bi followed Fu Youde to attack Shanxi and Yunnan. The friendship is deeper.
He can also be regarded as Fu Youde's younger brother in the army.
Later, when the Huaixi generals were suppressed, he asked Fu Youde to discuss countermeasures. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when the incident was revealed.
After Fu Youde committed suicide, Wang Bi also committed suicide.
These are all fateful friendships.
Of course, when the two arrived, they did not have the kind of life-and-death relationship they would have in the future, but after they arrived, both parties must have looked for history books to learn about their original futures.
After knowing that the other person had the same illness as him and committed suicide together, the original deep friendship naturally became even stronger.
In comparison.
The friendship between Fu Youde and Wang Bi and Tang Shengzong was not that deep.
This is mainly because Tang Shengzong was unlucky earlier and did not participate in subsequent wars. The relationship with the two of them is not that close.
But this was all before.
Now, for people in Mainland China, as long as they come from the same era, they are township party members.
Not only do the three of them come from the same era, but they also have a friendship from serving together in the military, and they also come from the same place in the origin world... Even if they don't have that much friendship in the first place, under the superposition of various factors, they can become life-or-death friends.
After Wang Bi arrived, he wandered back and forth alone in the south and north of the Yangtze River, just like Fu Youde did.
Later, when I heard Tang Shengzong's name, I instinctively came to join him and settle down.
As for Tang Shengzong.
When he came, he did not lead his troops, but his own family. In order to protect himself in this chaotic world, he recruited many young men and built a stronghold here.
He has been guarding the village, slowly training his troops, and ensuring the safety of the surrounding two to three hundred miles. It sheltered hundreds of thousands of people.
Liu Guangshi knew from the beginning that there were many Dingkou here, and there was only one nondescript Shanzhai at the head.
He directly led his troops to plunder.
As a result, Tang Shengzong attacked and was defeated with one blow.
"...I have been settling down in Dingyuan since I arrived. Now that the world is in chaos, I don't dare to go out rashly until the situation is clear!"
"Now that I think about it, compared to joining the Ming Dynasty and making great achievements, my family is more important!"
Tang Shengzong told what happened after his arrival.
He was also the first batch of creatures to arrive. For a year or two after his arrival, he did not move near Jiashan. Even so, he also organized and trained 7,000 elite soldiers to protect hundreds of miles of territory, showing great ability.
He said at the end with some emotion.
"Where's Brother Fu? Although I'm in Jiashan, I've heard that the Huai Army is conquering the east and west, and that he is the strongest prince in Huaibei. I just haven't heard of Brother Fu's name..."
Fu Youde smiled and said, "I only recently defected to the king."
