Chapter 6 Reminiscing about the past, time flies

These days, Zhao Yingyuan has been worried about the army all the time, and now that he has listened to Wang Yan's plan, he naturally can't calm down, and he can't wait to kill Qingzhou immediately and establish a foundation.

In fact, he has always had a heart in his heart that is unwilling to be ordinary, he can rise up and rebel, and earn wealth and glory with his head, how can he not have ambition? To say something rebellious, Li Chuang was just a pawn in the post station before, but he was able to crisscross the Central Plains and call himself lonely in the south, and he had also been a deputy general in Henan, why couldn't he earn a foundation?

On the same day, he asked Yang Wang Xiu to take his surrender table, and went south in the starry night to find Li Huaxi, the right attendant of the Ming Army, to finalize the name and obtain support, and after the army rested for a while, it immediately rushed to the east and rushed towards Qingzhou, which was hundreds of miles away.

The army's food and grass are only enough for three days' food, success or failure can be said to be another move, if Qingzhou is taken, he Zhao Yingyuan will have to be famous all over the world, so that the heroes of the world will look sideways.

For a while, he couldn't help but be proud, and people in his forties seemed to be ten years younger and full of energy.

Unfortunately, it backfired, and the army had only been gone for half a day, and many people in the army could not bear it. It's no wonder that there is a shortage of food in the army, even the old soldiers who have followed him for many years are also very thin and have few jobs, the camp is old and weak, and it is good to drink a few mouthfuls of gruel and barely be starved to death, where is there still the strength to follow the army in a hurry.

In half a day, there were no less than 100 people who fell behind and deserted and took the opportunity to escape, which made Zhao Yingyuan have to let the army set up camp, bury the pot to cook, and make plans tomorrow.

Because he was afraid of going out of the way and wanted to seize Qingzhou, Zhao Yingyuan did not inform the army, except for a few henchmen, most people did not know, so the atmosphere in the army was still the same as before, lifeless and hopeless.

After dinner, it was slowly dark, but Wang Yan did not rest, the situation of the army made him a little worried, I was afraid that he would not be able to capture Qingzhou smoothly, he felt that it was necessary to discuss with Zhao Yingyuan again, improve the plan, to ensure that nothing went wrong, and then he left his camp and went to the main camp.

The bright galaxy and a crescent moon in the night sky shine on the ground together, not as bright as the day, but it has a flavor and makes people feel dreamy.

Wang Yan walked in the camp, the breeze of the summer night made him feel refreshed, and the worries in his heart seemed to be reduced because of this, and he couldn't help but stop.

Since the change of Jiashen, he has run all the way, tired of running, the last time he had leisure to look up at the starry sky, or the year before last after the Wuchang Township test, with his brothers and many colleagues in Kuangshe, night tour Yueyang Louli.

Time flies, and now he is thousands of miles away from everyone else, and I don't know what the situation is, I think that the talent of his brother Wang Fuzhi should have been recruited by the imperial court and entrusted with important tasks.

With a light sigh, Wang Yanyi retracted his thoughts and walked forward, unconsciously walking near the handsome tent.

"You should be honest with Lao Tzu." A voice came from afar.

"It doesn't matter if others run, the general promoted you so much, and let you be the head of the sentry, and you still run, isn't it ungrateful?" Another voice grumbled.

At this time, Wang Yan had already seen two warriors pressing one out of the tent, and when he looked closely, he was still his old acquaintance, Liu Shun.

"That's it!" One of the samurai was dissatisfied. "A lot of old brothers are still just a little old, how can you be ungrateful when the general values you so much?"

"Humph! What do you know? Isn't it just death? Lao Tzu is blind, and he hates to die early! Liu Shun was pressed and listened to their complaints, but seemed to be very unconvinced.

Wang Yan and Liu Shun had a holiday, but too much time had passed, and he didn't take it to heart, and now watching the two escort Liu Shun away, he naturally didn't care, after all, he was not the only deserter who was killed these days, so he just frowned slightly, and walked towards the camp.

The guard on duty hurriedly reported that after Zhao Yingyuan agreed, he was about to pick up the curtain and go in, but the voice behind him made him stunned.

"Everyone in the world knows that I Liu Shun is a bad skin, and they all look down on me, but I also have my bottom line, Shandong has fallen into the hands of Jiannu, and the army is rushing to Qingzhou, what are you going to do? If you want Lao Tzu to demote a slave, of course Lao Tzu has to run! The general is kind to me, I don't scold him, but I won't surrender to Jiannu with him! Now that he has been captured, Lao Tzu has nothing to say, only wants to die quickly! ”

"Alas! You stubborn ass! Forget it, dog, you go and ask the guy to prepare a bowl of decapitated rice for Liu Shun, and send him on his way tomorrow morning! ”

After the samurai pressed Liu Shun away, Wang Yan entered the big tent.

"It's getting late, what's the matter with Shi Heng coming to look for me?" Seeing Wang Yan come in, Zhao Yingyuan straightened his body and knelt in front of the desk.

"I have something to discuss, I want to discuss with the general!" Wang Yan put aside the words he had just heard and saluted.

"Oh, Shi Heng can be blunt." Zhao Yingyuan nodded. "Come, sit down."

"I think that the matter of fraud still needs to be discussed." Wang Yan also knelt down and sat down. "And the march of the army will also be faster."

"I'm also worried about these two things, Shi Heng came to look for me, I guess I already have a belly case, hurry up and talk to me." As a military general, Zhao Yingyuan's manners and words are not rude, and he is a strange figure in the peasant army.

"That night was a lie!" Wang Yan straightened his body and said seriously. "First of all, it's easy to do, the old and weak stay here, leave a few people to take care of it, and the elite will bring more rations and go in a hurry, and they should be able to rush to Qingzhou in two days."

"Well, I can do that." Zhao Yingyuan nodded, this was also his idea, so he could only give it a go. "Then how do you cheat the city?"

"Wansheng wants to take the general's surrender table, lead the city to visit Wang Aoyong, gain his trust, and explore the truth in the city by the way." Wang Yan pondered. "At that time, the general can wait outside the city first, if it is done, the late life will let people welcome the army into the city, if the matter is defeated, the general will immediately lead the troops south to join the two Huai Shi Ge Division!"

"Shi Heng will go in person, will it be too dangerous." Zhao Yingyuan has no choice now, and what Wang Yan said is indeed feasible, he is very willing Wang Yan to go to Qingzhou immediately and go to the soup for him, but he can't say it clearly, so he can only pretend to be worried.

"Don't worry about this, the general doesn't have to worry about this, this time the Qing court has appeased most of Shandong, there are countless officials and gentry, and they will not be suspicious if they are born later, and the general's situation, presumably they also know, now that they have descended, they will only take it for granted!" Wang Yan didn't pay attention to Zhao Yingyuan's careful thoughts, he was all about fighting against the Jianqing soldiers.

"Since Shi Heng is sure, then I agree." Zhao Yingyuan was very happy and continued. "I will write it now, Shiheng can come tomorrow morning to get it, if there are any other requirements, I will also say it now, I should give it down."

"The requirements for late life are simple!" Wang Yan thought about it and said. "Just bring a warrior with you, and the general will prepare two fast horses!"

"Oh, Zhao Si in my personal guard camp is quite brave, he can be ten, how about letting him go?" Zhao Yingyuan thought about it and said.

Wang Yan didn't agree, "Wansheng wants to let that Liu Shun go, and I hope the general will go." ”

"Liu Shun?" Zhao Yingyuan was silent for a while, he glanced at Wang Yan, wondering why he chose Liu Shun, but Wang Yan sat silent, he had to think for a while. "In that case, let him make meritorious deeds! Zhao Si will also go with you, and you will set off tomorrow morning. ”

There is no word all night, and someone is destined to have no sleep.

Liu Shun is a sleepless person, he thought a lot about it this night, but found that there was actually nothing to think about, and there was nothing worth recalling, his life was such a failure, maybe when he died, there was no one in this world who missed him.

The villagers will not be nostalgic for him, they will only clap their hands and applaud, and they will not be bullied by him in the future.

The brothers in the camp would not think about him, he was just a passer-by, and he did not have to worry about being cheated by him in the future.

As for Widow Li in the east of the county, she was even happier, and she no longer had to be molested and harassed by him.

Even the secret prostitutes in the alley are happy, and the splatters who don't give money are finally a mile less!

The more he thought about Liu Shun, the more panicked he felt, he felt that his life was too much of a failure, but he regretted it, he regretted it, but he didn't regret today's decision.

When he was ten years old, Jiannu broke through the barrier and crossed the Great Wall into Koubei Zhili, his father died tragically under the knife, and his mother committed suicide by throwing herself into a well after being raped by Jiannu, and he was able to escape by hiding under the bed.

Countless people died at the hands of Jiannu that year, and the population that was driven to the outside of the pass was three or four hundred thousand.

But now there are so many big officials, and many outsiders have been demoted!

Those who are nobler than him on weekdays are not as hard as a skinny bone! Suddenly, Liu Shun finally found something worth mentioning in his short life - not to build slaves!

The day slowly brightened, and Liu Shun, who was tied to the pillar, did not wait for the bowl of severed head rice that he was looking forward to.

In the morning, the sun shone down, and he was so shaken that he couldn't open his eyes after a night of sleep, and a figure walked in front of him, blocking the sun.

"Prepare, you're going to do something big with me later!" The figure was Wang Yan, and he opened his mouth while untying the rope.

Liu Shun recognized Wang Yan, but he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know what big things to do, so his mind was confused, so he had to be at his mercy, full of doubts, and some disbelief. "I don't have to die?"

"Yes, you don't have to die, but you have to make meritorious deeds!" Looking at Liu Shun's appearance, seeing that he was not happy when he heard it, Wang Yan was quite happy in his heart, and smiled at the moment. "Don't worry! It won't make you surrender to Jiannu! ”

Hearing this, Liu Shun looked at Wang Yan in surprise and wanted to ask what was going on, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Wang Yan. "The stakes are very high, you can't delay, if you want to ask, I'll tell you on the way, now follow me on the road, just listen to my orders!"

After speaking, he turned around and walked to Zhao Si behind him, led a war horse and turned over, and when both of them got on the horse, he waved his horsewhip and went towards the rising sun.
