640 The old man who cares for each other without a word
Some parts of the Beiyu camp outside Datong City are still burning, some are intact, and some places are completely destroyed, and they are in a mess.
Xiao Ruxun walked all the way, all the way to the blood-colored land, every step can see the dead, every step can see the mutilated corpse, such a scene, he has long been very familiar with it, as usual, there is no discomfort, but for Xu Guangqi, although he is riding on a horse, he still covers his nose with a cloth, and his eyes try to look at the sky, not at the ground.
But even so, he could still feel the smell of blood all over his mouth, which went straight to his head, making him almost vomit, and vomiting everything he had eaten in his stomach, and he thought that if this was the case, he would be more or less comfortable.
Looking at Xiao Ruxun looking at the corpses on the road with a normal appearance, Xu Guangqi really couldn't imagine how many cruel pictures and cruel wars Xiao Ruxun had experienced at such an age, and how many such terrible corpses he had seen, just like that, wouldn't he have nightmares when he slept in the middle of the night?
Xu Guangqi at least felt that he didn't want to sleep well these days.
He took a deep breath again, and a strong smell of blood rushed in, he couldn't help retching a few times, and as a result, he naturally bowed down, and when he looked down and saw a broken corpse, he was so frightened that he shouted, and suddenly felt a surge in his stomach, and an unknown object rushed straight to his throat, and then spit out with a "wow".
Lying on horseback, he threw up.
Seeing this, Xiao Ruxun looked back, and saw Xu Guangqi lying on the back of the horse with his hands covering his eyes and opening his mouth to vomit, and suddenly remembered the first battle and the first vomit he encountered in the last days.
Is this the saddest thing to do?
Xiao Ruxun didn't dare to say it, but at least he could understand Xu Guangqi's mood.
"Just spit it out, go and help Mr. Xu lead the horse, let's keep walking."
Xiao Ruxun didn't plan to stop for this, he should continue to walk inside, as long as he entered Datong City, it should be much better.
However, Xiao Ruxun thought a little wrong.
Xiao Ruxun was thinking about Mei Guozhen and Ma Gui at this time.
At first, I wanted to see them as soon as possible, but the more I could see them, the more I had the idea of not daring to approach, for fear that after seeing them, I would not be able to suppress the guilt and sadness in my heart.
So he chose to go to the north to stop the northern captives from escaping, wanting to leave more time to stabilize his mind.
What kind of emotion is this?
Probably similar to homesickness, right?
Outside Datong City, Li Rusong and a general were waiting for Xiao Ruxun, and when he saw Xiao Ruxun coming, Li Rusong greeted him, and the general did not move.
That person is Ma Gui.
Xiao Ruxun saw Ma Gui from afar, his heart moved, his nose was sore, and he almost shed tears, so he immediately stopped, dismounted, and walked forward quickly.
Li Rusong also hurried over, his face was not very good.
"There's one thing, Governor, you need to know, and it's not too late to pass it later."
Seeing that Li Rusong's face was different, Xiao Ruxun asked, "What's the matter?" Why didn't General Ma come? Is he blaming me? ”
"No, it's not."
Li Rusong looked back at Ma Gui, turned his head again, and said with a bad face: "General Ma said that he and the defenders of the city are guilty of sin, waiting for the governor to fall, and he does not dare to move lightly.
Xiao Ruxun frowned.
"What's going on? Ma Zongbing guarded Datong City without losing it, and defended it for two months, this is a great achievement, how can it be called a guilty body? The northern captives went south very suddenly, and even the Governor could not do better, which was not a crime of war. ”
Li Rusong shook his head: "Governor, it's not this, General Ma and Governor Mei held Datong for two months, but at that time there were only five days' food in the whole city. ”
"So what? This ......"
Xiao Ruxun suddenly stopped talking, was stunned for a while, and then looked at Li Rusong in disbelief: "Could it be ...... Zhang Xun? ”
Li Rusong nodded, his face was very bad.
"If you don't do that, the defenders and strong men in the city won't be able to hold out anyway."
Xiao Ruxun took a deep breath, and for a while, he couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart.
He turned his head to look at Xu Guangqi, who looked dazed.
"A few of you will send Mr. Xu to the temporary barracks to rest and take care of him."
"No!"
Several soldiers escorted the weak Xu Guangqi out of Datong City, but Xu Guangqi did not struggle.
Then, Xiao Ruxun spoke: "How many people know about this matter at present?" ”
"The thousands of soldiers and horses who entered the city with the last general have seen it, and the bones of people all over the ground, in the pots and bowls, are very terrifying, and there are many people at the moment, and they can't hide it."
Li Rusong shook his head.
Xiao Ruxun took a deep breath and nodded.
"I'll go and see General Ma first, you lead people to block the city, from now on, no one is allowed to put in except me, and no one is allowed to let out."
"No!"
Li Rusong nodded.
Xiao Ruxun only took three or five of his closest soldiers to Magui at the gate of the city.
I haven't seen it for a few years, Ma Gui's appearance has not changed much, but his face is blue, his eye sockets are deep, his cheekbones are prominent, and the whole person is a little out of shape, and he can't see his strong and powerful appearance before.
After a few steps, Ma Gui and the generals around him knelt down on one knee together.
"The sinner, Magui, pays a visit to the governor!"
Xiao Ruxun stepped forward a few steps quickly and helped Ma Gui.
"Brother Ma, it doesn't have to be like this!"
Ma Gui was helped up by Xiao Ruxun, looking at Xiao Ruxun with a sad face, Xiao Ruxun also looked at Ma Gui, the two looked at each other speechlessly, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
Ma Gui can be said to be the one who has the best relationship with Xiao Ruxun among the generals of the Ming Dynasty, and he helped Xiao Ruxun a lot at the beginning, and he also sent the outstanding children of his family to him as helpers.
The more than 20 children of the Ma family are in their own army, all of them are officers, all of them are from the personal guards, and the best eight are known as the eight strong generals of the Ma family, with Ma Hu and Ma Wei taking the lead, strictly abiding by their own orders, and taking the lead in ignoring the arrangements of their superiors and only obeying Xiao Ruxun's military orders are among them, which can be described as their own diehards.
The Ma family's help to themselves is reflected in all aspects, when Xiao Ruxun urgently needs to employ people, it is the children of the Ma family who have taken the vacancy, so that Xiao Ruxun has time to carry out a comprehensive reorganization and training of the Zhennan Army, and the children of the Ma family have made great contributions in the process of building the Zhennan Army.
This is the Ma family, for the Ma family who has helped him a lot, the Ma family who has been writing continuously for more than three years, but he has not been able to help in time, so that they have actually reached this point, after this kind of thing happened, Xiao Ruxun really didn't know how to deal with it.
Not to mention Mei Guozhen, who tried his best to fight for preferential treatment for himself in the DPRK and China, clearly supported himself in the dispute between Xiao and Li, and later continued to help him speak, and he has always had correspondence with him, but now he is also ......
