Forty-five nights

The defeat was like a mountain, Guo Zixing could never have imagined that he would be defeated so quickly, so suddenly, and so absurdly.

The red scarves in Haozhou poured thousands of miles, the front army rushed the rear army, the soldiers in the panic could not find the general, they would not be able to find the soldiers, countless soldiers were coerced by the rout and fled, and some even simply knelt on the side of the road and surrendered.

The Haozhou army ran, the Dingyuan army chased, ran for a day, and when the people were sleepy and tired, they thought that Haozhou was in sight, and they were desperate.

No one expected that there was a navy under Zhu Wu's command, which was like a nail on the road to Haozhou.

The grain and grass are all lost, and it seems that there are Dingyuan troops who know the demon law in all directions. When Guo Zixing gathered his soldiers on a high ground, he found that there were less than 20,000 people left in the so-called army in his hand.

Moreover, they had been surrounded to death, and as far as the eye could see, the night was full of bonfires of the Dingyuan army, and their ears were full of the songs of the victors.

The camp of the Haozhou army is as silent as death, Guo Dashuai stands in the autumn wind, living up to the style of the past, the background is infinitely desolate, as if he has no heart.

And Zhu Chongba was in his heart, silently thinking about the gains and losses of this battle.

In the final analysis, Guo Dashuai's army still lacked training and discipline, and fighting a war could not rely only on the accumulation of people, but also on the bravery of individuals.

Being a soldier is not a bandit, nor is it a thief. To be able to win is also to be able to lose, and to win without being arrogant or discouraged is to be a strong army.

Guo Zixing brought a few personal soldiers and arrived in front of Zhu Chongba, "Guorui!" ”

"Dashuai!" Zhu Chongba hurriedly stood up.

"Sit, don't be so polite! Let's talk! Guo Zixing's face was melancholy, and he seemed to hold on to his breath, and said hesitantly, "You and Xiao Wu ...... Xiao Wu should still recognize you as a brother, right? ”

Why did this sentence suddenly pop up?

Zhu Chongba was puzzled, since Xiao Wu escaped and sent back Zhang Tianyou's head, Guo Dashuai couldn't wait to swallow Zhu Wu alive.

Now that Xiao Wu is blocked, it is estimated that the remaining soldiers are also people's dishes, and this kung fu does not consider how to break through, so why is this asked?

What was his purpose? Could it be that Xiao Wu's escape is suspected of him.

At this time, I heard Guo Zixing continue, "Guorui, ask yourself, I'm not bad to you!" From the captain of 100 people to the thousands of pro-soldiers, and then to the suppression of Sizhou, I didn't lose you! ”

"Dashuai Ende, Chongba is toothless and unforgettable!" Zhu Chongba shuddered in his heart, and always felt that Guo Zixing had something to say, so he could only say good things.

"Just remember, then I want you to do something!"

Guo Zixing looked at Zhu Chongba's eyes and said bitterly, "You go and talk to Xiao Wu, let him let me go one way and let me go back to Haozhou!" After he went back, his sister-in-law Xiu'er and I sent someone to send him back...... You tell Xiao Wu, in fact, I don't want to kill him in my heart, I want to take Hezhou and let him go away......"

"Huh?"

Guo Dashuai is messed up, his heart is upset, and he regrets it!

The brains of the people on both sides are beaten into dog brains, and at this time, they are still delusional that Xiao Wu will let him go a way, isn't this old and confused? What are you going to do with it? Waiting for you to come back next time?

But then I admired Guo Zixing a little bit in my heart, this old fox is too scheming, and he can bend and stretch.

The son was still in Xiao Wu's hands but didn't say a word, and he made a miserable appearance to Xiao Wu, which was really open-minded.

To say yes or not to agree?

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of singing in the Dingyuan army, which was a group of rough men singing with broken gongs.

"If you want me to come, who doesn't want to come?

Which king and eight calves don't want to come?

The wall of the house is too high, the circle is high, the dog is too powerful, I am afraid that my father will shoot it with a flat pole......"

The night is even darker.

Once upon a time, the brothers in Haozhou City sang this unknown yellow tune together, fighting back to back to resist.

They sang this song and held Haozhou.

They sang this song and repelled the Mongol general Cheri Buhua.

They sang this song and attacked the enemy camp at night without hesitation.

The singing is getting louder and louder, and there seem to be more and more people singing.

From the Dingyuan army to the Haozhou army, it gradually became one.

……

Zhu Wu was also thinking that after this battle, there was no strong enemy behind him, and the next target was Jinling on the other side of the state.

With Jinling, the entire Taiping Road will be controlled, and the territory can be expanded, and Anhui and Jiangsu will be understood, and the population will be expanded several times.

It's easy to fight, but it's hard to operate. On the one hand, the ruling clique of the Great Yuan is too brutal, and on the other hand, the local landlords and bureaucrats are also responsible.

His goal is not simply rebellion, and many things cannot be solved by force alone.

I want to go long-term, I want to stabilize my foundation, and even I want to ...... in the future

Lan Yu looked at Zhu Wu who was contemplative, hesitated for a long time before he spoke, "Fifth brother, I haven't eaten yet, it's cold!" ”

Two multigrain buns on the table, a small bowl of pickles, and a bowl of porridge. The army is full of this food, it doesn't look good, but it is a rare good thing in troubled times, how many people sell their sons and daughters for a meal.

After picking up the porridge and drinking a few sips, Zhu Wu seemed to remember something, "Did Guo Tianxu give me something to eat?" Don't starve! ”

Lan Yu snorted, "That dog thing, you want wine and meat!" As he spoke, he asked cautiously, "Fifth brother, do you want to exchange Guo Tianxu's dog day for Xiu'er sister?" ”

Zhu Wu put down the bowl and shook his head, "No! Never thought of it that way. If I think so, are I worthy of the Guo family's junior and fourth? ”

"Then why don't we swallow the old thief Guo in one go?" Lan Yu was puzzled.

"Wait!" Zhu Wu took a bite of the bun, "Wait for Xiu'er to come back!" ”

Haozhou in the night, like a sleeping monster, is located on the land of Huaixi.

The sound of horses' hooves under the city made the defenders at the head of the city suddenly vigilant.

"Who's down there?"

"Hezhou Dingyuan Army!"

Zhu Jinwei was on the horse, grinning and shouting.

Then he touched the root of his hot thighs, and his face, nose and eyes were wrinkled.

"What kind of life am I? It's either hometown, or collecting grain, or riding a horse for a day and a night, and coming to Haozhou to ask for people! ”

"The fifth brother also said that if it can't be done, it will take my head! Special mother's! ”

And the state Dingyuan Army?

There was chaos in the city, and countless torches lit up in an instant.

In the marshal's mansion in the city, the handsome lady Zhang was holding an object in her hand, crying bitterly, and there was a person kneeling on the ground, who was one of the personal soldiers who followed Guo Tianxu to Hezhou.

The guard of Haozhou is Guo Zixing's confidant, and he is also standing next to him with a sad face at this moment.

As soon as Ma Xiuying came in, Zhang seemed to have found the backbone, crying and grabbing her hand.

"Son, your second brother let Zhu Xiaowu detain him, and the master was also surrounded by him, what should I do?"

"Mother, I know everything!"

The news of Guo Zixing's defeat had already come in the evening, and the cavalry of the Dingyuan army appeared outside the city at ten o'clock in the middle of the night and sent in one person, Guo Tianxu's personal soldiers. sent in a thing, Guo Tianxu's long-life lock since he was a child.

Ma Xiuying comforted the righteous mother and son, looked at the kneeling person on the ground, and said, "What did Xiao Wu say?" ”

"Eldest Miss, Zhu Wu said that if you want the life of the second son, and if you want the handsome to return to Haozhou safely, I will give him the corpses of Xiu'er and Lian'er!"

This answer is expected by Ma Xiuying. There are only two things in this world that can still make Xiao Wu worry.

And after the defeat of Haozhou, there are only these two kinds of chips that can be taken out.

"Dashuai is really defeated? Tens of thousands? The guard of the Haozhou caretaker asked out loud.

"Failed, I saw it with my own eyes!"

The kneeling soldier choked and said, "Zhu Wu's side has already laid an ambush, and we didn't even set up a formation, so we let him be defeated." ”

"How is the master?" Zhang asked.

"Let Zhu Wuwei die, he can't get out!"

"Zhu Wu, you white-eyed wolf with no conscience!" Zhang's suddenly scolded and cried, "Without the Guo family, you are a begging for food, and you will not die well!" ”

"Madame!" The kneeling soldier cried, "You hurry up and release the people, Zhu Wu said that he couldn't see Xiu'er before noon tomorrow, so he chopped the second son, he can really do it, Uncle Zhang is the one who strangled ...... him."

Suddenly, Zhang's stopped crying and scolding, and grabbed Ma Xiuying again, "Yes, yes, give it to him, give him that little slut, and exchange it for my son to come back........."

Can you?

Ma Xiuying asked herself in her heart.

In the backyard, Ma Xiuying was helping Xiu'er pack her bags. She loves to eat osmanthus candy, the cloth tiger she likes, the clothes she wears, and the things she uses.

Although it is said that it is raised in the Guo family to make quality, but in terms of eating and use, it does not treat Xiu'er badly.

But Xiu'er sat on the chair and watched Ma Xiuying busy with an expressionless face.

Since Lian'er is gone, this girl has changed as a person, no longer laughing, no longer talking.

"Sister Xiuying!"

This is the first time Xiu'er has spoken these days, "Send me to find Wuguo?" ”

Ma Xiuying smiled, "Yes, your fifth brother's brother is outside the city, you can meet tomorrow!" ”

Xiu'er's face showed a rare smile, "Then don't be busy, I don't want these things, send me away!" ”

"These are the ...... you usually like"

"I don't!" Xiu'er shook her head, her fingers pinching the corners of her clothes, "I want to eat candy, Wuguo will buy it for me!" I want clothes, and Wuguo will ask people to make them for me......"

Six-year-old Xiu'er is a little adult, and her mind is far more transparent than that of a child. She spoke slowly, but there was no emotion in her eyes, and her tone was cold and distant. The more she talked, the cooler Ma Xiuying's heart became.

"Xiu'er, do you hate?"

Xiu'er nodded, and finally there was some emotion in her eyes, "Sister Xiuying, I don't hate you!" ”

Ma Xiuying hugged her in her arms and cried, "Remember to think about me in the future!" "Since she met Xiao Wu, she really regarded Xiu'er as a sister, and at the moment she only felt like a knife.

"I can't think about it!" Xiu'er also cried out, "I'm afraid that when I think of you, I think of the Guo family, and I think of Sister Lian'er!" ”

As he spoke, his little hand wiped away the tears on Ma Xiuying's face, "But I won't forget you, Sister Xiuying, I know that you are good to me in your heart!" ”
