Chapter 212 Mutual Compromise
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was no ordinary person.

He knew Zhang Tianxuan's character and strategies very well, and also understood his intention of hiding Gu Yillong.

In his opinion, Zhang Tianxuan's move was nothing more than an attempt to suddenly reveal this trump card in a future battle and catch him off guard.

But would Zhu Yuanzhang let Zhang Tianxuan succeed so easily?
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that although Zhang Tianxuan was hiding well, he was not invulnerable.

The reason why he was able to keep Gu Yillong hidden until now is unknown to others.

The reasons behind this seem to be hidden.

But if you look closely, there are some clues to be found.

In the Yellow Turban Army, the two major forces of Zhang Tianxuan and Zhu Yuanzhang fought openly and secretly.

The competition and temptation between each other never stopped.

During this period of time, the main forces under Zhang Tianxuan were obviously those people from the underworld.

These extraordinary people have made great achievements on the battlefield and have become a trump card in Zhang Tianxuan's hand.

These people in the martial arts world are either good at martial arts or proficient in the art of divination.

Their performance on the battlefield is often unexpected, making it difficult for the enemy to defend themselves.

It was precisely because of the help of these people in the martial arts world that Zhang Tianxuan was able to remain undefeated in his contest with Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is also the key reason why he was able to hide Gu Yillong.

In terms of the military, the performance of Zhang Tianxuan's subordinates has been unsatisfactory.

Compared with the well-trained and disciplined Hongwu Ming army and the five vanguards under Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhang Tianxuan's subordinates are obviously much inferior in the army.

This also meant that he was often at a disadvantage on the frontal battlefield, making it difficult for him to confront Zhu Yuanzhang's army head-on.

However, this does not mean that Zhang Tianxuan has no cards to play.

Instead, he has been secretly accumulating strength.

Waiting for the best time.

During this period, the Yellow Turban Army named Tiangang Army that Gu Yillong trained for Zhang Tianxuan was slacking off the whole time.

They seem to be doing nothing on the battlefield, but they are actually accumulating strength in secret.

This strategy not only makes the enemy relax their vigilance.

It also provided Gu Yillong and his Tiangang Army with precious time and space.

To perfect your tactics and skills.

"Haha, Boren can contribute to the Yellow Turban cause, so it is his duty."

Zhu Yuanzhang's laughter echoed in the tent, but the deep meaning contained in it made Zhang Tianxuan frown slightly.

The conversation between the two was more like a war without the smoke of gunpowder.

"But during this period, the Hongwu Ming army and the five vanguards under my command suffered heavy losses."

Zhu Yuanzhang once again emphasized his predicament, trying to win Zhang Tianxuan's sympathy.

However, Zhang Tianxuan was not an easy person to deal with. How could he be easily deceived by Zhu Yuanzhang?

Zhang Tianxuan knew clearly that Zhu Yuanzhang's words were not sincere.

The reason for saying this is simply to push the burden of sending troops onto himself.

During this period of time, Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongwu Ming army and the five vanguards did suffer heavy losses.

But this does not mean that he has no other troops to deploy.

On the contrary, since the two of them escaped from the high pressure of Meng Zhang and Zhang Jue.

The power under his command expanded rapidly like a snowball.

Zhu Yuanzhang definitely still had a lot of elite troops under his control.

It's just that he was reluctant to put these troops into the battle.

"I am really incapable of doing this and cannot take on this important task."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with pretended hesitation.

"The loss of soldiers and generals is a minor matter, but if it leads to the demise of millions of Yellow Turbans, young and old, we will be sinners for all eternity!"

Then he suddenly raised his voice, his tone filled with grief, anger and helplessness.

He was well aware of Zhang Tianxuan's concerns and worries, so he deliberately used provocation to force him to submit.

Zhang Tianxuan's heart sank when he heard this. He naturally understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intention.

They produce people.

you can!

But it is impossible to send both people and soldiers. Zhang Tianxuan must send the soldiers!
However, he did not want to succumb to Zhu Yuanzhang's coercion.

He knew in his heart that once he agreed to send troops.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang would surely reap the benefits.

The conversation between the two seemed calm, but in fact there were undercurrents.

They are all trying to figure out each other's true intentions in order to make the most advantageous decision.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to use Zhang Tianxuan to destroy the enemy.

Zhang Tianxuan wanted to use this opportunity to weaken Zhu Yuanzhang's strength and influence.

In the end, the contest ended with compromise between both parties.

The atmosphere in the tent was tense and heavy, as if a string could be plucked at any time.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Tianxuan sat opposite each other, their eyes met in the air, with indescribable complex emotions.

"Tianxuan, I know that the Tiangang Army under your command is also brave and good at fighting."

"But the losses of our Hongwu Ming army and the five vanguards are too heavy to fight anymore."

"I am willing to send people, but I will need your help in sending troops."

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

Zhang Tianxuan frowned slightly, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

He also understood Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning, but he himself did not want to send troops so easily.

However, he also knew that this was not the time to continue fighting with Zhu Yuanzhang, and the Yellow Turban cause was the top priority.

If these Yellow Turban Army were gone.

No matter how much strength he preserves, it will be of no use.

"Okay, I promise you."

"I will order some of my Tiangang troops to go with the army, but I ask Boren to ensure their safety and supplies."

So, Zhang Tianxuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said expressionlessly.

"It's natural."

"Boren will do everything he can to ensure the safety and supplies of the Tiangang Army."

Zhu Yuanzhang was delighted when he heard this, but he remained calm on his face.

The two smiled at each other, and the haze in their hearts seemed to dissipate a lot.

They all knew that this compromise would not be easy.

But for the future of the Yellow Turbans, they must put aside their personal grudges and fights.

As Zhang Tianxuan's order was passed down like a gust of wind, the Tiangang Army's camp immediately became busy.

The soldiers came out of their tents one after another and began to get ready for battle in a tense and orderly manner.

Each of these soldiers has been with Gu Yillong for some time.

An elite force carefully selected and trained by Zhang Tianxuan.

The armor on his body gleamed coldly in the sunlight. It was a rare uniform armor among the Yellow Turban Army.

Each piece of armor is polished to be extremely smooth, as if it can reflect the enemy's terror and fear.

The armor is inlaid with the unique Tiangang Army logo, highlighting their identity and glory.

For the sake of this elite army, Zhang Tianxuan gave his all and spared no effort.

During this period of time, Zhang Tianxuan took advantage of the opportunity when the Yellow Turban Army was marching south.

All the property he had reaped in Luzhou was poured into it.

Just to build an indestructible iron army.

He knew very well that in order to gain a foothold in troubled times, he must have a strong army to support him.

Therefore, he put a lot of effort into selecting soldiers, training generals, and purchasing weapons and equipment.

Regardless of the cost, even at any cost.

When it comes to weapons and equipment, Zhang Tianxuan spared no expense and strived for the best.

He specially recruited a group of skilled craftsmen from all over the place and personally supervised them in making weapons and sewing armor.

Every weapon and every piece of armor is a masterpiece of meticulous craftsmanship.

So, this is the Tiangang Army under Zhang Tianxuan's current command.

Every detail about the soldiers exudes the smell of money.
