Chapter 367: Encounter (Gaga)

"Joining the army to fight? Isn't there already a heavenly soldier coming from the capital? Ying Sleeve asked puzzled, she looked at Hong Qi's knife, it was just a kitchen knife......

Hong Qi pinned the kitchen knife to his waist, took the bow and arrow on his back, and carried the iron fork, and said to Yingsleeve: "The heavenly soldiers are here, but we can't rely on the heavenly soldiers alone." The Wu family of Nan Zhengguo occupies Daxing City, if the heavenly soldiers can't beat them, they will come out sooner or later to occupy us, and then everyone will play together! ā€

In Yingsleeve's heart, she never thought that Xie Dongli would lose, but now that she heard the hunter's words, she didn't feel that she didn't trust Xie Donglian, but felt an atmosphere of "more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust".

This feeling made her feel a little strange in her heart.

She ate breakfast and fed the sleeping queen Qi Xueyun some medicine before walking out of the gate of Hong Qi's house.

There was already a commotion in the village, and many people were carrying hoes, or carrying flat poles, or carrying bows and arrows like Hong Qi, and gathered in the open space at the entrance of the village.

Ying Sleeve followed behind Hong Qi to see where he was going.

Hong Qi looked back at her and asked, "Girl, are you going to join the army with us?" ā€

Yingsleeve looked at the ragged peasants and asked thoughtfully, "Are you all going to join the army?" ā€

"Of course." Hong Qi nodded and walked towards the entrance of the village.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ The reward for military merit is the richest, if you go, if you can make meritorious service, the life of the family will be better in the future. Ying Sleeve felt that she understood the thoughts of these farmers.

She followed Hong Qi to the entrance of the village and whispered to Hong Qi.

The people standing around Hong Qi heard her words. But she burst into laughter, as if she had told a nice joke.

Ying Sleeve was surprised, "Am I not right?" ā€

"Girl. You're thinking too much. An older farmer smiled at her honestly, "We are all croppers, we don't have any skills, and we just do our part to join the army." In our own village, we can't just wait for others to help, right? ā€

Another farmer also said, "This time." I'm afraid most of us won't be able to come back. Reward or something, just give my mother-in-law and baby a bite to eat. ā€

"I heard that if you die in battle, the official will give the family a tael of silver. It's enough for their mothers and sons to live for two or three years. ā€

"Well, in two or three years, my son will be an adult and will be able to work to support the family. No loss! No loss! ā€

The peasants smiled contentedly. It seems that for them, life is worth a tael of silver is already very good, and their greatest value is to defend their family and the country and sacrifice their lives for the country!

Yingsleeve's eyes moistened, and she looked at this group of simple villagers, not knowing what to say.

Hong Qi stood on a big stone in front of the village entrance and said to everyone: "Okay! Stand up! Let's line up and join the army! ā€

Farmers on the site began to push and shove in line.

This is. A group of people with chests and stomachs suddenly rushed out of the village, carrying a small sedan chair in green cloth. yelled, "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! You mud-legged people are looking for death! What are you doing at the entrance of the village? ā€

These peasants hurriedly got out of the way, and Hong Qi bowed to those people and said, "Steward Hong, we are going to join the army." Where have you been old? ā€

The steward squinted at the group of villagers, sneered, and said, "Join the army? Just you?! Don't make a fuss, our heavenly soldiers are all elites from the capital, where do you need mud legs to join in the fun? Why don't you go back and stay soon! Don't get in the way of our third lady! ā€

"That's it! Get out of the way! Our third lady is going to serve the marshal in the village on the mountain! A familiar female voice came.

Ying Sleeve was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to see that it was the round-faced maid he met on the road yesterday.

Could it be that the lady sitting in the sedan chair is the lady in the car?

Ying Sleeve touched his chin and narrowed his eyes.

What did the maid say? - Serving the Marshal?

As far as she knew, there was only one marshal this time!

"Miss Hong San is going to serve the marshal?!" The farmer in the village was very surprised and hurriedly made way for her sedan chair.

Zhu Er held her head high and followed the edge of the sedan chair proudly, walking towards the small hill not far away.

The group of peasants looked at each other, and also followed behind the Hong family, moving forward.

They were going to the gate of Daxing City to join the army, because the army was stationed there.

And the Zhuangzi on the mountain is where those generals live, and these peasants dare not disturb.

Yingsleeve's eyes flashed, and he followed behind this group of villagers and went to Daxing City first.

They had walked for about a meal, and the walls of Daxing City could already be seen from afar.

Yingsleeve ran into the bushes by the roadside, jumped between the branches of the big tree, and no longer followed the group of peasants.

The leaves on the tree had fallen off, but the branches were luxuriant, layered, and she was mixed in with them, and she couldn't be seen from the outside.

This is the best place to watch the soldiers of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom stationed in front of Daxing Castle and the city gate.

The peasants came to the tent of the sergeant of the right army, found a soldier, and explained the situation.

The soldier looked at them, and knew that the siege of the city was to be carried out with the people, so he took them to the commander.

When he saw that these people had taken the initiative, he was very happy, and hurriedly sent someone to register their names, form them into a team, and then distribute tents, weapons, and food to them to form a temporary formation.

Yingsleeve saw that this place was in order, and there was no situation where the sergeants were bullying the people, and nodded secretly in his heart.

She was about to fly away, when out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of people walking over with two senior officials in iron armor, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

Among them, the man who is a head taller than the official next to him is not Xie Dongli?!

Although he was wearing iron armor and wearing an iron helmet on his head that covered half of his face, Ying Sleeve could recognize him at a glance!

Yingsleeve slid down from the branches and fell into the grass.

Xie Dongli came over with his attendants and Tang Qian for a routine inspection.

They had a meeting almost all night yesterday, but they still quarreled.

Some generals thought that it was enough to besiege the city, as long as it was besieged for a month. The people inside will make trouble themselves, and then they will be able to reap the benefits of the fishermen, and their casualties will be minimized.

However, some generals felt that it was not appropriate to delay too long at this time. should be a quick decision, and then rush to Nanzheng Guo to teach them a lesson, otherwise in the future, the people of Nanzheng Guo will still treat Dongyuan Kingdom as a soft persimmon, and they can pinch it as much as they want.

Xie Dongli didn't express his opinion, and Tang Qian saw that Xie Dongli didn't speak, and he didn't say either.

The two lords will not speak, and the people below can only argue.

Xie Dongli came to the camp. The generals of the various districts came to salute and greet them.

Xie Dongli glanced at the camp and immediately noticed that there were a few more tents, so he pointed to the extra tents and asked, "What's going on over there?" ā€

Among them, the general manager who collected the peasants hurriedly replied: "Lord Marshal." That was the villager of Hongjia Village who came to join the army today. The subordinates knew that the people were always needed when attacking the city, so they took them in charge and distributed clothes, tents, weapons, and food. ā€

Xie Dongli's face softened. Nodding. Said: "These villagers have a heart. Remember not to give them dangerous work, just be a backup. ā€

The general manager was busy and said, "The subordinates know." They are passionate for the country, and we can't just use them as gunmen. ā€

As the group spoke, they had already walked around the camp, and then looked at the walls of Daxing City, and Xie Dongli asked, "Is there any movement inside?" ā€

Yesterday, they had just let the Kong Ming lantern in to appease the Dongyuan people in the city who refused to give in. At the same time, it will cause a certain amount of psychological pressure on the Wu family to see how they will deal with it.

A military academy said: "My subordinates have been inquiring about news in the morning. I heard that there was another chaos in the city. The Wu family was forced to kill the person who led the trouble. Now the people inside have more opinions about them, and they can't wait to the guy and do it directly with them! ā€

"Look, isn't that great? Why don't we just wait for the trouble inside, and when the trouble is almost over, the city gate will naturally open to welcome us into the city! An adjutant general hurriedly said that he was one of those who advocated encircling but not fighting.

Xie Dongli looked back, looked at him coldly, and said, "If you want to completely rely on the Dongyuan people in Daxing City to fight against the Wu family, then what will Your Majesty send you and me to do?" Do you pick peaches cheaply? ā€

The face of Xie Dongli was flushed when he said a word, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, muttering speechless.

"Be careful. The army is in place and ready to take the city at any time. But for now, we'll have to wait. Xie Dongli said quietly, "Everyone pay attention to the movement in the city, and if there is anything wrong, report it immediately!" ā€

"Yes!" The generals and military academies responded in unison, and the shouts shook the sky.

The villagers who had just joined the army had just changed into military uniforms, and when they heard this voice, they all ran out to see.

I heard that the marshal and the general were coming to patrol the camp, and they were busy kowtowing.

Although this is not in accordance with the rules, everyone thinks that they are not regular troops, and there is no harsh criticism on them.

Xie Dongli said gently: "Everyone has worked hard. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I hope you don't have too much time. ā€

"It's not hard! It's not hard! Seeing that the marshal was so kind, these simple peasants were so excited that they couldn't speak, and only kowtowed vigorously.

Xie Dongli avoided sideways and asked them to get up and go back to the camp, and he and Tang Qian went back to Zhuangzi, where they lived.

Yingsleeve originally followed from a distance, but after Xie Dongli got on the horse, he turned around unconsciously, and she was so frightened that she hid behind the big rock, and she didn't even dare to come out.

When she poked her head out from behind the big rock, she found that the person in front of her had already walked up the mountain path, and she couldn't even see the shadow.

"Walk so fast!" Yingsleeve stomped his foot, but still touched it in the direction of his memory.

This time it was daylight, and it was better to walk than at night, because there were no sergeants standing guard during the day on some of the paths, and only at night did they come out to watch the night.

Xie Dongli returned to the courtyard where he lived, and when he entered the door, he saw the old man of the Hong family standing in the courtyard with two girls.

"Generalissimo Xie!" The old man of the Hong family hurriedly stepped forward to give a big gift.

The two girls behind him were also deeply blessed.

Xie Dongli raised his hand and said indifferently: "There is still military intelligence to report today, if there is anything to do, let's talk about it later." ā€

Miss Hong San was a little disappointed, but it was also expected, she glanced at Xie Dongli quickly with her eyes open, and said softly: "Generalissimo Xie, are you thinking about how to attack Daxing City?" ā€

Xie Dongli was stunned for a moment, and looked at Master Hong with his hands behind his back.

When Master Hong saw Xie Dongli's expression, he secretly said that there was a play, and he hurriedly said: "Generalissimo Xie, why don't we go in and talk?" The little girl is stubborn, she used to like to run on the mountains behind Daxing City, and she knows some paths that others don't know......"
