Chapter 394: Sympathy
Zhou Ji set up a formation and continued to move forward, and when it was extended, the extension of the county order put on a sad look: "Lord Zhou, your county is far away from the thieves in Fuxian County, and the population has fled countless times, and I am next to the so-called base of the thieves here, and the policy of dividing the land and reducing the rent is even more well-known, as well as the yin Guangwu, not only stationed under his own nose, but also constantly sending people to my rule to confuse the public, and he sent people to chase the fugitives, but as a result, people sent troops to stop them, several times and three times, I no longer have the ability to fight with the thieves, Don't talk about signing now, even the officials can't find a strong man to carry a sedan chair, and send troops to help suppress the thief, that is to mention and not to mention.
This is the truth, this kind of suffering, I feel the same way, it seems that it is impossible to ask this adult to send troops to help suppress, Zhou Ji has no choice but to lead the army into the reckless mountain alone.
Looking at Zhou Ji, who was getting farther away, Yanchuan County Ling flicked his sleeves and muttered - looking for death.
Of course Zhou Ji can't hear the above evaluation, he just acts according to his loyal thoughts, and it is natural for him to share his worries for the king, not to mention that Zhou Ji is familiar with the Qi family's art of war, and there are more loopholes to exploit in the thief's place, and he is sure to win.
So not far from the army not far from Chenjiabao, which was guarded by the thieves, the banners and drums hid their tracks, and lurked, just waiting for the first day of the first month of March, when Zhang Yuan and Li Yuanhao stirred the thieves' heads and tails, the thieves here reinforced other places, and Zhou Ji was killed in one fell swoop, so as to do the unexpected battle.
Thief, last time you blocked my door and didn't let me come out, this time, I will go to your house to make a big fuss, maybe it will be a war that destroyed your court.
However, there will always be a gap between ideal and reality that cannot be linked, which is an unbreakable truth, which Zhou Ji has not considered at all.
Zhou Ji's armor was bright and walked around anxiously in the ambush army, and only then did he feel that the armor that was originally divine was now worn on his body, it was heavy and cold, and another cold wind blew, blowing the armor leaves with a rattling sound, and he felt cold to the bones.
In order to do the law of surprise, Zhou Ji came here with a large army to ambush, strictly requiring the team, no fire, no noise, no moving around, one day can only rely on dry food and cold water to satisfy hunger, originally thought that it was just a matter of one day, the big holiday can also survive, the result is three days, there is no movement on the opposite side of the people, that Zhou Ji can only be consumed like this, but this consumption of the people is a head.
It's been three days, and now, Zhou Ji has been ambushed here, waiting for the opposite thief to move for three days, but the thief in Chenjiabao in front of him has not made any commotion or panic at all, not only is he not panicked, but he has also become silent, and there is not even a single person who goes out to collect firewood.
At the same time, according to the plan, three days ago, that is, on the first day of the first month of March, Zhang Yuan, Li Yuanhao and others should have launched an attack on the thieves.
However, the spies who went back and forth several times a day to reconnoiter came to report, and the thief Guangwu on the opposite side was steady and motionless, so how could he implement the surprise strategy in the Qi family's art of war?
Look at a group of subordinates who fell in the cold wind, one by one, their faces were red and their ears were red, their hands and feet were stiff, and they didn't eat a hot meal, let alone the battle, even if they were frozen, Zhou Ji would be defeated and lost.
"yes, it's a head when it takes like this." The other said the same thing sullenly. But not in Zhou Ji's ears, but on the fortress wall of Chenjiabao.
"Brother Sergeant Supervisor, you go and ask the commander of Geng Kui's infantry army again, let's attack, you tell Geng Kui's team officer, what kind of Zhou Ji is on the other side, now it is estimated that freezing and starvation will already kill him, if we don't let us attack, then we can only be a corpse collection team in the end, so how can we train the soldiers?" Armed with his trademark machete, Guangwu hid behind the walls of the fort and begged for a sergeant in charge of passing orders.
The sergeant was about to cry, he didn't suffer so much, he ran back and forth between Chenjiabao and Black Tiger Village six times in just three days, and he had to run by himself in just three days.
"Captain Guangwu, please spare me, let me take a breath, I just came back, why don't you take a break, it's not a problem to eat some hot food." Looking at Captain Guangwu with an expectant face, the sergeant smiled again and said, "Also, I just came back, and I reported to you, and Commander Geng Kui just said a word, don't attack." Looking at Guangwu, who was still not giving up, the sergeant said in an accentuated tone: "The commander said that this is King Chuang's decision. ”
Guangwu scratched his head embarrassedly, hehe smirked, it was indeed that he was too anxious, and this was about to drive this brother crazy.
"What are you doing in a daze?" turned around and kicked a brother beside him, "Don't you take this brother to eat and rest, dead man?" ”
When the brother heard this, he muttered that he had taken the sergeant down to dinner.
Guangwu continued to lie on the battlement and look into the mountains in the distance, and his heart was sad for that Zhou Ji County Zun, the original official of his parents, and the old boss, you are thousands of miles away from my base, you said that you have a good life, but what are you here to make a fuss? It's good now, if you come, I won't be able to leave, otherwise, I still want to follow King Chuang into battle to kill the enemy, and turn my garrison into a real army. ”
In fact, when Zhou Ji had just made a move, the prison sergeant Dark Zhuang, who was ambushed in various places, quickly reported the information to Lu Shi, and Lu Shi had a report on Zhou Ji's current ambush location in his hands.
Lu Shi, who was holding the report at that time, could only smile bitterly, and at the same time was secretly glad for this big man who was about to die, this court, there are such loyal and good officials, and it is really rare to have a good official who knows how to sympathize with the people.
However, looking at it, this turbid world, the world that is about to overturn, can these two so-called good officials who are loyal and brave can support it again?
Good officials like Zhou Ji can be found in any dynasty that is about to fall, but they can only be tragic heroes, they can only be a pastemaker, supporting this leaky dilapidated house, and finally, the dynasty he has been loyal to all his life and the ideals and beliefs he has guarded all his life will be wiped out together.
In fact, such a good official and a person who persists in his beliefs should do the most correct thing for the people he loves, but a thousand years of education and a thousand years of indoctrination cannot change their thinking of being loyal to the king.
For Confucianism, Lu Shi was not divided into two extreme factions like other scholars in the altar, either a comprehensive denial, or desperately guarded, in fact, China can not be dispersed until now, there is no disintegration, Lu Shi thinks that thanks to two things, one is the square Chinese characters, no randomness, no extension and separation, the square is stable, the expression is meaningful, absolutely no or vague.
The second reason why China did not die in the millennium inheritance is Confucianism, which can also be said to be Confucianism, his most fundamental thing is to respect etiquette, pay attention to loyalty and patriotism, pay attention, the second is patriotism, although it is the second, but this is enough, because of this, there are countless martyrs, with the idea of loyalty to the monarch to love and protect this country, to maintain this country, only then there is Su Wu, only then there is Banchao Bangu, only then there is Yue Fei, only there is Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu, only there is Shi Kefa, only then there is although committed to overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, But in the end, Yuan Zhongdi, Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong, who assisted the Southern Ming Dynasty to fight against the Tartars, and fought to the death of the last three people, and there was also a painting crown that was captured by the Tartars, but painted the Han family every day (one said Niu Jinxing, one said Song Xiance, and some said that it was the late Ming Dynasty Confucian) that Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, and Cao Kun (although Cao Kun was not in a thousand ways, he did not accept the invitation of the Japanese to come out and be the head of the North China Autonomous Government, this is the credit. You can check the historical data), only then did Mr. Jiang, who was at the end of his rope, still resist the war, only then did Mao Taizu (the Soviet Union seduced and oppressed in every way) play with the big powers, only then did Ma Zhanshan, only then did Lu Xun, Zhu Ziqing, and only then did Qian Xuesen have countless martyrs. Only then did this Lang Hua Xia have a lineage.
Holding the report on Zhou Ji in his hand, in the end, Lu Shi issued an order, for this county honor, the prisoner is the best, I hope that under his influence, I can do something for the real people, if not, then let him go back, continue to be in the place beyond his whip, in this bright and dark world, give his subordinates a care, even if the care is insignificant.
When he got this order, Guangwu only had a wry smile, in addition to a bitter smile, he also had the feeling of holding a hedgehog in his hand, and he couldn't let go of it.
Looking at the gloomy sky again, listening to a cold wind that was only a gust of cold, Guangwu tightened his cotton clothes, and couldn't help but feel a burst of sympathy in his heart, "My old parents, how long can they hold on in the ice and snow now?" ”
Zhou Ji really can't hold on anymore, as a county honor, he can secretly let his subordinates burn some hot porridge in a place where no one is around, but a thousand soldiers, and a thousand masters who transport supplies can only endure in the cold and frost of this day, even the thousand households that he looks down on have fallen under a leeward ridge, shivering, unable to hold knives and guns at all, and if he doesn't start again, his army will be frozen to death in this barren mountain and wilderness.
This god is strange, it's March, according to the solar terms of previous years, it should have been spring, but at this time, it is colder than winter, it seems that this year is another year without harvesting, what happened to this day? Is it really according to what the people say, the emperor has no blessings and the people are in trouble?
But as soon as he thought of this, Zhou Ji hurriedly chanted countless sins in his heart, and spat on the ground fiercely, this is the idea of no king and no father, this kind of thinking is unacceptable, then the rest of the explanation is that this group of chaotic people made a rebellion and caused the heavens to condemn it, so he hated the so-called King Chuang even more in his heart, why let go of a peaceful and stable life, but take a group of people to rebel and make trouble? I've also heard that you have grievances, but the county order can wronged you, why don't you file a complaint? There are also prefects, governors, and the governors of the fair, honest, and loyal countries, but it's really not good, and the emperor of Zhongxing Daming, why did he take this road of no return to rebellion?
However, this Lu Shi is also a capable person, I heard that in what base area, a set of methods has been developed, and there are countless people, and there are even windmills and other strange and ingenious things, which turn dry fields into fertile fields, and even benefit the people.
This time, if you can do it, no, you will definitely be able to do it, when the time comes, after exterminating the thieves and catching Lu Shi, should you hand it over to the imperial court to make an example, or should you write to the emperor and cherish his talents for the country, so that he can do his best in this crumbling court, for the court, for the emperor, and for the people?
Lu Shi, who has the same thoughts, doesn't know whether to cry or rejoice when he hears Zhou Ji's consideration?
"Sir, sir, good news." At this time, a pro-soldier, that is, his original scholar, ran outside the mountain with a rolling belt, which surprised Zhou Ji at the time, not for anything else, this is an ambush, you shouted and screamed, how can you alarm the thief?
