Chapter 51 Going South to Qingzhou
Not long after Cui Zheng left, Dong Jun came back, and when he came back, he saw Wen Yu sitting on the bed without saying a word, knowing that Cui Zheng should have come, so he walked up to him and said: "Among us people, you are the youngest, and General Cui has no children under his knees, so he has always treated you as a son, and I hope you can understand his approach." ”
Wen Yu didn't speak for a long time, Dong Jun thought that he should let him be quiet, so he turned around and was about to leave, Wen Yu suddenly said: "I think about it, I will go to Qingzhou with you tomorrow to join the Taiping Army, but if the Taiping Army has no intention of attacking the barbarians, I will still leave there and go to find the real Ming Lord." ”
The stone in Dong Jun's heart was finally put down, for fear that Wen Yu would not be calm and single-handedly enter the Northern Barbarians, and how should he explain to Cui Zheng when the time comes.
"You don't have to worry about this, if they really don't want to fight the Beiban, I will be the first to leave there." Dong Jun said in a loud voice.
On the second day, as soon as the sky was hazy, there were two fast horses, from Antelope City to Qingzhou, and they also saw a lot of thieves along the way, the world was not peaceful, and there were more and more thieves.
The two of them rushed all the way for five days, and then rushed to Beihai, and after entering Beihai, they found that the leaders of the Taiping Army were not there, and after some inquiry, they learned that they all went to Chengyang City, and the two rushed to Chengyang City in the starry night.
After arriving in Chengyang City, people were not in a hurry to see Meng Liu and others, but found an inn to stay, inquired about the past behavior of the Taiping Army every day, and learned that what the Taiping Army did was to punish the evil and promote the good, rob the rich and help the poor, then put his mind at ease, and finally met Meng Liu and Zhang Taibai after being recommended by others.
"Who are the two?" Zhang Taibai asked, as soon as Zhang Taibai saw the two people in front of him, especially the younger one, his face was like a tiger, he must have the courage of ten thousand people, and he immediately started to solicit.
"My name is Wen Yu, this is my uncle, named Dong Jun, and the two of us are from Antelope City." Wen Yu introduced.
Zhang Taibai exclaimed: "You are Long Wuwei? ”
"Exactly." Wen Yu raised his head and said.
"Why are you here?"
"I heard that the Taiping Army is recruiting talented people, and both of us have the courage to champion the three armies, so I specially came to take refuge in you." Seeing that Wen Yu had something unspeakable, Dong Jun stood up and explained.
"This 。。。。。。" Zhang Taibai pondered for a moment and then replied, "I recently heard that Long Wuwei has gathered in Antelope City, vowing to fight to the death with the Northern Barbarians, why did the two of them come to me. ”
It's not that Zhang Taibai doesn't believe that the two are not Long Wuwei, because the names of each of Long Wuwei's soldiers are recorded in the character chronicle, but Zhang Taibai really doesn't know why the two of them came to defect to the Taiping Army, and the faces of the two don't look like people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
"It's a long story, so I'll hear it from you." Under Dong Jun's explanation, Zhang Taibai figured out the purpose of the two coming.
"With two generals joining us, we have greatly strengthened our strength, and we have won 100,000 men. As for the general's northward advance, it was after the Central Plains Dading. We will definitely hit Gusu City, but the general should not worry, once the Antelope City is broken, the plain is just a bag to get things, and it is estimated that it will not be able to hold it for a few days, and then their target is this Chengyang City. ”
Wen Yu nodded, in the days after entering the city, he could often see soldiers building the city walls.
"Two generals, if you have nothing to do, you can step back for the time being, I still have to discuss with the lord." Zhang Taibai smiled indifferently.
"The last will be retired." Wen Yu and Dong Jun left the main hall.
As soon as the two left, Meng Liu hurriedly asked, "Are they really as powerful as recorded in the character chronicle?"
"Ordinary people can't leave their names on the character records, but the names of every general of Long Wuwei are on it, which is not something that ordinary people can do, and the master's physiognomy skills, I have also learned fur, that Wen Yu seems to have a pure heart, if he can cultivate more, he will definitely be able to become the commander of the leading party, but that Dong Jun, needless to say, is superior in force, it is a good thing to know how to observe words and looks, but if it is too much, he will become an opportunist." Zhang Taibai only looked at it once, and he could say one, two, three.
"Then let's wait and see what happens, but we must separate Wen Yu and Dong Jun, let Wen Yu follow Li Xianliang for some training first, and as for Dong Jun, he will hand it over to Zhuang Ran." Meng Liu said.
"Lord, this move is inappropriate, if we forcibly separate them and lead the troops, it will seem that we are stingy, we just need to pay a little attention in the future." Zhang Taibai persuaded.
"It's okay, let them all follow Zhuang Ran, with Zhuang Ran here, we can rest assured." Meng Liu nodded in agreement.
Wen Yu and Dong Jun, who came out of the hall, went to the barracks together, and when they walked on the road, Wen Yu didn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked, "Why do I think the Taiping Army doesn't welcome us too much." We are also more vigilant. ”
Dong Jun explained with a smile: "If he had become very trusting of us at the beginning and didn't guard against it, then I should have turned around and left now, so lord." How can we be sincerely allegiant. Don't think about it so much, go to the barracks, and get along with them. Don't put up any shelves, you are now like them, no longer Long Wuwei. You are still young, and you need to learn more from them to improve. Dong Jun patted Wen Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile.
But in fact, he himself has long seen that he doesn't believe in Wen Yu, he just doesn't believe in himself, let's take one step at a time.
The battle in Antelope City has already begun, and Wanyan Wushu is waiting for the 200,000 troops to withdraw to the territory of the Northern Barbarians. Before the barbarian king gave the order, some families could no longer sit still, and privately led the clan soldiers to attack Antelope City, but the result was obvious, there were thousands of more corpses under the city. After that, no family disobeyed orders and attacked the city privately.
The war lasted for more than a month, and there were countless casualties under Antelope City.
The bones piled up into a mountain, and in addition to the Northern Barbarian army, Long Wuwei also lost dozens of people, and blood overflowed the moat.
Every time the enemy army has attacked the tower, it is the dragon Wuwei who has killed the tower.
There was a stalemate for a while. But there's no better way.
can only see who can't hold on first, Cui Zheng watched the soldiers who had been with his comrades leave one by one every day, but he had no way to let them survive.
He could only spend every day in the barracks with the soldiers, eat at the same table and bed, and the soldiers did not complain.
They are all standing here, and they all know where they belong is nothing more than death. However, in the face of national righteousness, they chose to sacrifice themselves to slow down the pace of the northern barbarians to the south. Every era needs a group of people who can stand up. The person who stood up in this era was Long Wuwei, a soldier of every Antelope City.
