6. Rainy
I don't know why, the late autumn weather has a cold rainstorm, and together with the autumn wind, it is so cold that it soaks into the bones, and people can't help but grit their teeth.
However, what is colder than the rain is the wind, the civil and military officials of Chuzhou, standing at the head of the city, their hearts seem to be frozen, their bodies seem to be frozen, and they are all trembling and unable to speak.
The war came without warning, like this rainstorm.
"How could a thief suddenly hit Chuzhou?"
At the head of the city, Chuzhou Zhizhou looked at the Dingyuan army that couldn't see the end of the city, his lips trembled for a long time, and only this sentence came out.
The other officials didn't have time to slander, and the mediocrity of Lord Zhizhou, a big flag was slowly pulled out in the rainstorm outside the city wall, and suddenly there was a sound of gasping and exclaiming.
"Hezhou thief, Zhu Wu?"
"Zhu Wu who broke off the prime minister!"
Zhizhou was dizzy, almost about to fall, and choked up, "How is this good?" ”
Guo Zixing Xingxing Binghaozhou, but he lacked the determination to forge ahead. In the eyes of the government, it is just a city of thieves.
However, Zhu Wu settled in the two cities of Yuanhe Prefecture and became famous in Huaixi. The battle with the state and the stubborn killing and retreating are already known to the world at this time.
Just looking at the banner, the people in the city have been terrified.
A subordinate said tremblingly, "My lord, why don't you come down?" ”
"Drop?" Zhizhou had a wry smile on his face, "But people didn't let us descend." ”
………
The icy rain hit the iron helmet, making a crackling raindrops pop.
Zhu Wu was dressed in black iron armor, revealing only two eyes that could not be seen, but were extremely cold.
Beside him were dozens of soldiers who were also wrapped in iron armor, looking from afar, like a moving fortress, looking intimidating.
"Fifth brother, get ready!"
Erhu wiped the rain from his face, "The siege vehicles and ladders have been set up, and they can attack the city at any time!" ”
On rainy days, the power of artillery is greatly reduced, and it can only rely on people.
"Let the people of Hengshan Stream take the lead!" In the rain, Zhu Wu was still staring at the city, "Try their color!" ”
Erhu turned around and smiled hideously to the side.
This smile made Miao Tycoon's already uneasy heart nervous.
Originally, I wanted to ask for a good price from Zhu Wu, but a few catties and taels on my side were all figured out, and there was no room for bargaining at all.
Besides, when he saw the Dingyuan Army Rong Junwei, he was like a flower child, and he couldn't have any different thoughts in his heart.
"Brother Miao, Fifth Brother will let you take the lead!" The second tiger rode over and said loudly, "The siege engine, the ladder, my brothers have set up, you can go up!" ”
Miao Tycoon glanced at the city wall of Chuzhou, turned his heart sideways, and shouted loudly, "Little ones, eat meat or drink soup, it depends on this one, and if you defeat Chuzhou, Manager Zhu will not treat us badly......
"Wait!"
Miao Tycoon, who was boosting morale, was suddenly interrupted by a voice.
In the rainstorm, a scholar walked forward in the mud.
Li Shanchang was covered with rain and hurried to Zhu Wu, "Lord, why don't you persuade him to surrender?" ”
Law...
The war horse cut down his hooves uneasily, but Zhu Wu still didn't say anything.
"Lord, why don't you persuade you to surrender?"
Li Shanchang tensed his body and shouted loudly.
At this time, Zhu Wucai slowly turned his head and said expressionlessly, "Lao Li, the rain is heavy, your body is not strong enough, take shelter from the rain in the back, right?" ”
"Lord!" Li Shanchang directly grabbed Zhu Wu's horse head and persuaded him. "Persuade me to surrender!"
"You ......"
"Lord!" Li Shanchang didn't allow Zhu Wu to speak, "You are abnormal today, it's not that I know the kind-hearted Manager Zhu!"
Chuzhou can be surrendered, but you don't persuade it, are you sure that the people in the city will be affected by the war?
We don't need to use the Dingyuan Army in our headquarters, and use the new army in Hengshan. Such bandits, if Chuzhou is broken, how much vitality will there be left in Chuzhou?
Has the lord forgotten what he said in Dingyuan, and forgot the three chapters of the covenant? The lord is so thoughtful today, is he not afraid of ruining his reputation? Chuzhou is also the homeland of our Huaixi!
I am a scholar, leaving my family and business to follow my father-in-law. What I value is that you are kind to the people and have a big heart.
I don't know what's wrong with you today, but my lord, think twice! ”
Law......
The horses moved restlessly again.
Zhu Wu patted the neck of the war horse, "Shhhhh.........hhh ”
The rain seemed to be light, and Zhu Wu looked up at the gray sky.
yes, what's wrong with you?
Why did he suddenly become so violent, just for the ridiculous unhappiness in his heart?
really let the people of Hengshan Stream break the city, and they can't pull it when they kill the red eyes.
Once this opening is opened, it is to release the devil in his heart, and he will be no different from those thieves who disregard people's lives.
"Sappy!"
"Fifth brother!"
"Get an umbrella for Lao Li, he's not a martial artist, don't get wet!"
"Lord ......"
"Lao Li." Zhu Wu showed a smile on his face, "Thank you, otherwise I would have made a big mistake today!" ”
On the city wall of Chuzhou, Zhizhou's expectant gaze slid over the faces of the lower officials one by one.
"There you go!"
"You're going?"
"Or are you going?"
"Isn't it going to fall? Someone has to say it? ”
The officials turned their faces away, did not look at Zhizhou's gaze, and began to think in their hearts.
Although Zhu Wu is a thief, he has a good reputation, and he has never heard of killing officials and plundering property. Descending him, not only can he avoid a sword fight, but also protect his whole family.
But in Chuzhou City, not everyone wants to surrender.
A small colonel in the official army was ready to fight to the death when Zhu Wu's army came.
He was originally not a junior colonel of the city guards, but a hereditary cavalry thousand households of the Great Yuan, who fought for the Great Yuan for generations, and his family had a lot of achievements.
However, he was defeated, and followed Cheri Buhua to conquer Haozhou, but he was killed and crushed.
The Mongolian general patted his ass and left, he became a scapegoat, and his family scattered all his wealth to save his life.
In the past, the majestic Han army of thousands of households, who made meritorious contributions, became the defenders of Chuzhou to find a school.
"Zhu Wu!"
Quan Xu looked at the banner of Zhu Wu outside the city, and secretly gritted his teeth, I am all thanks to you today!
Honor, official position, and future are all ruined by this thief. I have become a laughing stock and a waste.
Thinking of this, Quan Xu couldn't wait to jump off the city wall directly and fight with Zhu Wu.
At this moment, a knight under Zhu Wu's banner suddenly came to Pegasus, and now the city is drinking.
"The head of my family has a good heart, surrender can avoid death, and the property of his wife and daughter can also be preserved. If it doesn't fall, next year today will be the day of worship that you are waiting for! ”
"Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, and the anti-thief is still learning to persuade the officials and soldiers to surrender? I really dare to think, Chuzhou is well armed, how many people are enough for you Zhu Wu to die........."
Jeon Wook sneered, but the smile immediately froze.
Because, he heard the shouts of Lord Zhizhou on the city wall, "Down, down!" ”
The rain is still so cold.
The defenders of Chuzhou lost their weapons, knelt outside the city gates, and surrendered in humiliation.
Jeon Wook bit his lip tightly and knelt on the cold mud floor, from his body to his heart, it was all cold.
"Obviously you have the strength to fight, why don't you fight?"
"They are all courtiers of the Great Yuan, why do they surrender like thieves?"
There was confusion in his eyes, with resentment.
Quan Xu raised his head, and the civil and military officials below the governor of Chuzhou all knelt in front of a young man's horse.
The ironclad hood on the young man's face was pulled open, revealing a face looking down with contempt, and then at the ironclad knights around him, and the cheering army. People are like dragons, horses are like tigers, and they are angry.
Men should carry a three-foot blade, rampant in the world, and the husband will make contributions, just now!
Look at Zhizhou, who is usually high on the top, and now bent over and stammered Zhu Wu, who is younger than his son. The beast robe on his body was wet from the heavy rain. The beast on the robes is like a dog.
Quan Xu instantly understood, no one in this world is loyal to Da Yuan anymore, and Da Yuan doesn't care whether they are loyal or not.
The cold rain hit his face, and Jeon Wook suddenly remembered a sentence said by Choi Min-cheol, a Korean, that we are all Mongolian dogs!
Rumble!
There was a burst of thunder, and Quan Xu's heart was clear, and he seemed to see another way.
Under the frightened and surprised gaze of his companion, he stood up and slowly walked towards the Zhuzi banner.
"Manager Zhu, do you still recognize me?" (1)
………
Maybe it's the clouds from Chuzhou that have drifted to Haozhou.
The small but cold rain continued to fall, which made people irritable.
On the road to Haozhou, an embarrassed army is moving forward with difficulty.
The non-commissioned officers in the army were demoralized and pale, as if they had not eaten for a long time, and some of them fell to the ground on the ground as they walked, unable to get up again.
Lost dogs, but that's it.
The Xuzhou red scarf that lost Xuzhou, there was no power to fight, and the cities around the city were strictly guarded, so they could only eat Haozhou.
The two marshals of the Xuzhou Red Scarf, Zhao Junyong and Peng Da, were tied side by side, looking at the slowly walking team, one thoughtful, and the other frowned.
"Fortunately, Zhu Chongba is righteous, otherwise, before the officials and soldiers come to kill, the brothers will starve to death!"
Peng Dawu is dressed up, and his messy beard looks a little embarrassed, but vaguely, his arrogance will be revealed.
Speaking of which, the Xuzhou red scarf is also a legend in this troubled world, Li Er, a good man in Pizhou, used the last warehouse of sesame seeds in the family to relieve the blind date.
Then with eight righteous brothers, he rushed into Xuzhou City, killed Daru Huachi and the Zhizhou garrison, and raised 100,000 soldiers to raise the world.
It's just that now, everything is in the past, and Sesame Li is dead. And the red scarves in Xuzhou are also scattered.
Hearing this, Zhao Jun sneered twice, "He dares not to let us go, otherwise we will vote for Zhu Wu and destroy Haozhou with a backhand!" ”
He was born as a scholar, and it is said that he has a reputation for showing off his talents, and he is quick and strategic.
"Guo Zixing is really dizzy, and he actually forced his righteous son to rebel!" Peng laughed and said, "Otherwise, he is strong and strong, how can we have a foothold in this Huaixi!" ”
Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, the grievances between Guo Zixing and Zhu Wu, not to mention that everyone knows about it, it is also boiling.
"Lao Zhao, why don't we go to Hezhou? Have you heard that Zhu Wu is very arrogant? ”
"Is it better to send charcoal in the snow or to be the icing on the cake?" Zhao Jun smiled with a conceited smile, "Zhu Chongba has just become the general manager, Haozhou is the time to employ people, why should we go to Zhu Wu with tens of thousands of horses!" ”
As he spoke, he sneered in his heart and said secretly, "How can there be a way out for people who have lived for a long time, it is better to take advantage of the small situation in Haozhou now and swallow it directly!" ”(2)
At this moment, a soldier suddenly came to report from the front, "The two marshals, Zhu Chongba, the governor of Haozhou, have come to greet them in person!" ”

1. When there were hundreds of collections at the beginning of this book, a book friend proposed a dragon set, Quan Xu.
Officially launched today, I don't have a trick here, it's all a big match,
2, Zhao Junyong (Zhao Junyong), a big scourge of the rebels at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. His subordinate Mao Gui crossed the sea to the Northern Expedition and occupied Shandong, and the troops approached the capital of Yuan, and even Mao Gui's subordinates went to Liaodong.
But such a good man took Zhao in when he was desperate, but was killed by Zhao.
In the end, Mao Gui's fellow villagers returned to Shandong from Liaodong and killed him.
