Chapter 51: Mou Zheng
"How many men have been lost?" A mighty man asked in a low voice with a calm face.
“… Twenty-eight of the brothers who rushed to the camp were lost. About six or seven died under the bow and arrow, and seven or eight in the tunnel, and died in front of the cart...... There are more than a dozen. ”
"With that one shot, we broke a dozen brothers?" The big man laughed angrily, "What a powerful spear formation." Mr. Zheng, didn't you tell me that Brother Ling's ability is so great! ”
Standing beside him and looking at the Zheng family's camp in the distance was Zheng Ming, who Zheng Sheng had not seen for a long time.
He looked at it calmly. After listening to the big man's words, he spoke unhurriedly: "I said earlier that General Chang should not underestimate him. But you're still too underestimated. ”
General Chang said angrily: "I have paid enough attention to it!" With Ji Shenchao leading the team, thirty percent of the men and horses attacked a small camp. However, we failed, and we didn't even attack the camp, Zheng Sheng only fired one shot, and we lost more than 20 people! Mr. Zheng, shouldn't you explain? ”
"Yes, I should explain, but I don't know how." Zheng Miao pondered for a moment and said slowly: "That little guy has too many magical things. Moreover, he grew up too fast. I really regret that I didn't keep him in Wancheng desperately. ”
Zheng Ming's eyes were red and he stared ahead, his hands were creaking, he regretted it incomparably: if he could keep Zheng Sheng at the beginning, everything in the Zheng family would belong to him now!
"Don't talk nonsense! What's next? General Chang rebuked impatiently.
Zheng Meng sneered: "What to do next?" Now that General Chang's tentative attack on the camp has been frustrated, should he believe in Zheng's strategy? ”
General Chang touched his beard and wondered: "Do you have to wait until the rain?" ”
"Zheng Sheng is very powerful with fire. The fireworks are not only beautiful, but even more terrifying. In my opinion, that is Zheng Sheng's hidden hole card. Zheng Meng said with a deep gaze, "If you want to be foolproof, General Chang, please calm down!" ”
General Chang snorted coldly: "There's nothing wrong with your backup plan 'Falcon', right?" ”
Zheng Meng smiled and said softly, "Please rest assured, general, nothing goes wrong." ”
……
Wanquan Town, the first gathering of canals.
This is a village that has only been built in recent years, but it is rapidly thriving.
Along the canal, hundreds of families settled in this land that had been ravaged by floods.
On this day, Liu Guzi, a guard of the Tiger Guard Battalion, received a message from his parents asking someone to bring him, and asked for leave to rush back to Qushouju's home from the camp more than ten miles away.
"Mother, are you sick?" Before entering the house, Liu Guzi's voice passed through the courtyard wall and reached the house.
Liu Guzi's mother, a middle-aged woman over forty years old, hurriedly greeted her: "Guzi is back, come in and rest." ”
Liu Guzi stared at her suspiciously, handed her the meat he bought from the market, and asked as he walked into the house, "Mother, where are you uncomfortable?" ”
"No, no, I just miss you, so I asked someone to use this reason to let you come back." Mother said casually.
Liu Guzi was even more puzzled, since the camp moved to Wanquan Town, they, the guards of the Tiger Guard Battalion, had several days of vacation every month to go home.
He was not a family lover, and the prince would force the guards to go home every month.
Mother said she missed him? They had seen it a few days ago. The reason for this......
Entering the house, Liu Guzi first saw a shelf full of children's toys such as small drums and wooden figures, and then swept it to see the guy sitting on the wooden chair smiling and looking at his little vendor.
"Mother, I'm not a child anymore, I don't want to buy these toys anymore." Liu Guzi said in his mouth, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.
His father, who was sitting next to the vendor, suddenly spoke: "Guzi, this Mr. Zhou said, you can take us to a better place to survive." We thought it was good......"
"Father! You can't be deceived, not to mention that the prince is so kind to us. We can't do such a thing when the world is in danger! Liu Guzi roared, he thought a lot for a while, he has been in the Tiger Guard Camp in the past few years, although he has not worked hard in his studies, but he has also understood many truths.
"What are you talking about, kid!" His father was equally furious.
"All right, don't make a noise. This is a big deal, you can discuss it slowly. Little brother Liu Guzi, I know that Zheng Shizi is kind to you, but he can't protect himself now. Everything you have now is tied to Zheng Shizi, and when he falls, everything you have will be gone. Stumped ......"
"Get out!" Liu Guzi reprimanded angrily with red eyes.
……
"How are you thinking about it?"
Li Baiguo handed him a cup of strong tea: "This is the tea distributed within the iron workshop, it is very good." Mr. Liu can have a taste. ”
Mr. Liu smiled: "I have heard that Zheng Shizi's tea is good, and it really deserves its reputation!" ”
"Last time, you said that Zheng Rulong, the deputy manager of the mall, was also going to leave together?"
Mr. Liu spoke extremely vigilantly: "It is not me who has contact with Manager Zheng, why did Your Excellency suddenly care about this matter?" ”
"The trees will fall, and the birds and beasts will fly. Even a handsome talent within the Zheng clan like Zheng Rulong has to leave, let alone a blacksmith like me? Li Baiguo said softly.
"Haha, your Excellency is no ordinary blacksmith."
"You're welcome. However, there is a small request below. ”
"Please."
"I have a little nephew, you know that. He is very smart, has been studying with Zheng Shizi, and is very talented. Since we are going to Luoyang, I hope to invite an excellent Confucian to teach him his studies. ”
"It's a small thing." Mr. Liu agreed.
"That's fine."
The two looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word......
"If you are uprooted from your hometown, no matter how much land you give, it is better to stay at home." Qian Mingsheng mustered up the courage and told his parents about his thoughts for the first time.
The parents were silent, they hesitated.
Qian Mingsheng's voice was even louder: "Anyway, I'm not leaving!" How nice it is to be in the Tiger Guard Camp! ”
……
What happened in Wanquan Town was naturally not known to Zheng Sheng, who was hundreds of miles away.
After the battle with the yellow silk thief, another day passed.
The thieves who had been frustrated in their attack escaped with one blow and never appeared in the field of vision of the Zheng camp again. After a whole day of preparation, it seemed that time was wasted.
The Escort's desire to fight gradually waned. If you do it with a real knife, there will always be some damage, and no one knows if you will be injured next.
The thieves have retreated, is it time to go?
That's what everyone is saying.
Zheng Sheng also hesitated, relying on the cart to form a formation to meet the enemy, they were not afraid of thieves, but they were suddenly attacked, and this team was afraid to collapse instantly!
That's where it gets uncomfortable.
The yellow silk thief comes and goes freely, and can attack whenever he wants. Zheng Sheng can only passively face the battle.
At other times, he had to concentrate on preparing for the war all the time.
If the commander of the other party has goods in his stomach, there are many ways to drag down the Zheng family's improvised miscellaneous militia team.
Although the first battle was successful, the next step is to be more cautious.
