Volume 4 The Heroic Soul Returns Home

Chapter 1 It is difficult to leap thousands of miles into Shudao

Section 1 The Long Way Home

In the early morning of the next day, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of all departments of the Hanwei battalion spontaneously came to the vicinity of the Chinese army camp to see off Liu Yunwei and Long Xiang Iron Cavalry who were about to leave; And Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao, Wen Poyu, Gao Hongguang, Huang Fuming, Wang Dangdang, Chen Shiye and others are also reluctant to send each other off in Yuanmen.

Liu Yunwei looked at everyone, and his mind kept flashing the situation from Liaodong to Shandong and then to Henan, as well as the hardships and ups and downs along the way, his heart was full of reluctance and emotion, and said: "Don't send it away, I will rush back as soon as possible, and when the time comes, let's go north to Tongzhou together, wait for the Dan together, and return to Liaodong." ”

Everyone is heavily responsible, and Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, and Wen Poyu are even more sad, after all, the four of them have almost never been separated from Liu Yunwei since they were children, and the parting at this time made several people feel very sad in their hearts; Moreover, Lu Ying and others were definitely unable to attend the funeral of the old general Liu Ling, which also made several people feel extremely sad.

"Big brother has to take care of himself along the way, we can't send the old general and them back to their hometown, so let's send off the old general, the young general, and his wife here." Lu Ying's eyes were slightly red.

After speaking, Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, Wen Poyu, as well as Li Tianhao, Wang Dangdang, Huang Fuming, and Gao Hongguang all knelt down towards the coffins of Liu Ling's father and son and Xu Wanxin, and paid their respects; Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of soldiers around all knelt down to bow to the heroic soul of the country, and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the old general to return to his hometown!" Congratulations to the old general to return to his hometown! ”

Liu Yunwei was already in tears at this time, and he only felt that a stream of blood was constantly stirring in his heart, as if he was about to burst out of his chest. Looking at his comrades around him, Liu Yunwei roared loudly: "The soldiers are waiting for me to come back, and the day Long Xiang returns will be the time for the army to go north to protect the country!" ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei wiped away the tears he shed, turned over his horse and whipped away, and more than 1,600 soldiers of Long Xiang's iron cavalry (hundreds of soldiers were killed in several fierce battles with the thief army) also followed, escorting the coffins of Liu Ling's father and son and Xu Wanxin all the way west.

Lu Ying shouted loudly: "Beat the drums of war and see off the general!" Suddenly, the camp of the Hanwei camp sounded the earth-shattering war drums, and Liu Yunwei and the Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers gradually disappeared in the majestic war drums under the eyes of tens of thousands of soldiers.

After leaving Yiyang, Liu Yunwei led the Longxiang Iron Cavalry all the way west along Luoshui, passing through Fuchang, Luoning, and Chongyang Town, and finally arrived at Gaomen Pass.

Liu Yunwei looked at the towering Gaomen Pass and said to the night beside him: "Give the passage of the military department documents to the generals guarding the pass, and we will be stationed here today." ”

The man did not reply, and then stepped forward and entered the castle. After a stick of incense, a thousand households led a group of subordinates hurried out, complimented Liu Yunwei, and then welcomed the Longxiang Iron Cavalry into the Gaomen Pass very enthusiastically.

After resting for the night at Gaomen Pass, Liu Yunwei led the army again in the early morning of the next day, still marching west along Luoshui, and after passing Lu's and walking for another two days, he came to the junction of Henan and Shaanxi provinces.

Liu Yunwei stood on the bank of Maluo River, looked at the surging river, and sighed: "I finally arrived in Shaanxi, after passing Shaanxi, Sichuan is in front of you!" Grandfather, father, Wanxin, we're almost home. ”

After resting in place for a while, Liu Yunwei gave the order to set off. This time, the army marched all the way without resting, and did not stop until it reached Luonan City, and it was already evening at this time.

After Liu Yunwei finished the paperwork for entering the city, he led Long Xiang Tieqi into Luonan City. More than 1,600 Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers marched in a neat line in a row of four people on the streets of Luonan City, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the soldiers' bodies, as if they were wearing a golden armor for the soldiers. The people on both sides of the street stopped to watch when they saw such a mighty official and military iron horseman, and from time to time let out a burst of exclamation; And when the coffins of Liu Ting's father and son appeared in the sight of the people, almost all the people were silent, quietly looking at the heroic soul of the country, their eyes were full of awe, many people had slightly red eyes, and some women had even begun to wipe their tears.

"General Liu through the ages!"

"Heroes!"

"None of the abominable Tartars will die well!"

"The military masters are so good, heroes!"

I don't know who was the first to shout, and immediately the people of the whole street shouted, and the ardent expectations, angry shouts, and regretful exclamations were all woven together, forming an overwhelming wave.

Liu Yunwei rode on a war horse, listening to the shouts of the people, these ordinary people have no profound knowledge, no profound knowledge, and even have a lot of complaints about the government on weekdays; But in the face of foreign enemy captivity, almost everyone will consciously stand with the imperial court, and will become a solid backing for the soldiers, this is the people of the Ming Dynasty! This is the son of the Han family!

Liu Yunwei looked at the impassioned people around him, and silently said with tears in his eyes: "Grandfather! Father! Do you see that? This is our Ming people! As long as there are these thousands of people, I will definitely be able to defeat Jiannu and restore Liaodong! ”

At this time, among the onlookers, there was a teenager who was also watching the marching dragon horseman. I saw that this young man was tall and big, with a pair of eyes that were very bright and sharp, and what was even more strange was that this young man was born with a hooked nose and very fair skin, and suddenly looked like a person from the Western Regions.

The young man looked at the mighty army of iron cavalry, and couldn't help but sigh to the two companions beside him: "This is the fate of men, when will we be able to run rampant in the world like them!" ”

A companion next to him said: "I said Huang Wazi, you are really good at big words, now you can't even eat, and you still want to be prestigious?" You are Xiang Yu and Liu Bang! ”

The young man frowned and didn't speak, but another companion said with some displeasure: "Zhang Huanghu! My eldest brother is ambitious, you can speak to me politely! Huang Wazi is also what you can call? My eldest brother is a descendant of the Western Xia Emperor Li Jiqian, and he will be called Hongji Big Brother in the future! ”

Before Zhang Huanghu could reply, he saw the young man shake his head and said, "Don't call me Brother Hongji in the future, I don't think this name is good!" From today on, I am determined to achieve great things by my own ability, so that I can walk in the world in vain. So from now on, my name will be Li Zicheng! Brother Zongmin, what do you think of my new name? ”

The young man who helped Li Zicheng speak just now was Liu Zongmin, I saw him nodding and said with a smile: "Haha, the name that the eldest brother changed is good, he can do it himself!" Li Zicheng! Good name! ”

And when Zhang Huanghu heard this, he said, "Hmph! He said, "Since you are all so ambitious, how can I fall behind?" In the future, don't call me Zhang Huanghu, I will call Zhang Xianzhong in the future! ”

After finishing speaking, the three of them looked at the iron cavalry army in front of them intently, and there was a surge of pride in their hearts, and it was not until all the iron cavalry soldiers of Long Xiang left that the three of them came to their senses.

Liu Zongmin looked at Li Zicheng and asked, "Big brother, where are we going now?" Even if we want to do great things, we have to solve the problem of eating first. ”

Li Zicheng frowned and thought for a while, and said: "I heard from my fellow villagers that Yinchuan Post is recruiting post guards over there, and the three of us are all strong people, so I think we might as well give it a try." If you are lucky enough to be a post officer, you will not only have a salary and silver hair, but also be able to get in touch with the affairs of the army, which is the basis for us to achieve great things in the future! ”

Liu Zongmin naturally had no opinion on Li Zicheng's idea, Li Zicheng glanced at Zhang Xianzhong again, and said, "How about it, Brother Xianzhong will go with us?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong shook his head and said, "I'm not going to Yinchuan Station, I'm going to Yan'an Mansion, I still have relatives over there, maybe I can mix it up." ”

Li Zicheng was a little regretful when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, after all, everyone has their own ambitions. Li Zicheng just said some parting words to Zhang Xianzhong, and then left with Liu Zongmin.

The incident between Li Zicheng and the three of them was just a small episode that happened when Long Xiangtie rode into the city, and by the time Liu Yunwei led the army to the military camp in the city, it was already completely dark.

As soon as the soldiers were settled, Liu Yunwei was alone in the room reading a book, and after reading for a while, he felt as if there was something in his heart. Liu Yunwei put down the book in his hand and thought carefully for a while, and suddenly remembered that when he entered the city, he seemed to feel that he was being watched by a pair of sharp eyes, but because he was too excited at that time, he didn't care too much. Thinking about it now, Liu Yunwei felt that someone should be secretly observing him at that time.

"Who could it be?" Liu Yunwei thought for a while, then felt tiredness welling up, and after a while, he fell asleep on the bookcase.

In his sleep, Liu Yunwei saw a bandit leader in Shaanxi, who not only turned Shaanxi upside down, but also eroded the Central Plains and Hebei, and finally led a locust-like army of thieves to kill Jingshi; And outside the Shanhai Pass, countless army of Jiannu flocked here! Seeing this, Liu Yunwei only felt a chill, and was about to shout loudly for the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion to go into battle to kill the enemy, but suddenly found that he couldn't make a sound no matter what, and could only look at the scene in front of him and open his mouth in vain. Suddenly, the sky and the earth cracked, the sun and the moon were dark, Liu Yunwei seemed to be pushed by something, and his body fell suddenly, as if he was about to fall into the Nine Netherworlds.

"Ahh Liu Yunwei woke up suddenly, looked around in horror, and found that he was still in the house, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but his entire clothes had been soaked with sweat, and the whole person was still panting heavily.

"It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare." Liu Yunwei muttered, as if he was comforting himself.
