Beside Mai Tiezhu, there were more than a hundred old men with gray hair and rickety bodies, all of whom were still wearing old leather armor and helmets, some carrying knives and bows, and some holding long lances, trembling towards the king.

Wang Huaqiang saw that these old men couldn't even walk, and they were still fully armed like this, and he laughed in his heart.

As soon as these old men saw the people from Jiangbei crossing the river, they burst into tears one by one, and there was a one-armed old man who seemed to be the leader, with two long scars on his face, and his mouth with half of his teeth missing, kept asking, "Is the second son here?" Where is the second son? ”

Wang Xu's tears were about to fall, and he hurriedly took a few steps forward and stood in front of the one-armed old man: "Are you Uncle Fuquan?" I'm the king, do you still recognize me? ”

Under the firelight, the one-armed old man named Uncle Fuquan opened his cloudy eyes and stared at Wang Xu's face carefully, and after a while, he muttered: "Elephant, elephant, it's really too similar, the second son is the Xiongxin general back then!"

Wang Seng Biao was originally the king of Xiangdong in Southern Liang at that time, and later served under Xiao Yi of Emperor Yuan of Liang.

This Uncle Fuquan had already followed his personal troops at that time, so he opened his mouth to General Xiongxin, not the official position that was later awarded after Wang Shengbi eliminated Hou Jing - General Zhengdong.

Wang Xuan wiped his tears and said, "Uncle Fuquan, I have really suffered you all these years, and I came here today to avenge everyone." By the way, this is Wang Huaqiang, the governor of Wang Dadu, who crossed the river with me. He said and pointed at Wang Huaqiang with his hand.

Uncle Fu Quan looked at the more than 600 black-clothed and black-armored Guanzhong men behind Wang Xuan, and said excitedly: "Okay, good, you really deserve to be the son of General Xiongxin, and it is not in vain that these old brothers have been waiting for you for so many years."

You see, we put on all the armor of the year, that is, we want to follow the second son to kill into Jiankang and destroy the Chen Dynasty established by the old thief Chen Baxian. ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart sank: Seeing that these old arms and legs are difficult to walk, how can they fight?

Wang Xuan was obviously aware of this, and after getting over the initial excitement, he stopped talking.

Uncle Nafu Quan seemed to see what Wang Xuan was thinking, and laughed: "Second son, don't worry, we old guys are just here to support the scene, and if we really go into battle to fight, we still have to rely on the young offspring."

Second son, please rest assured, this time we all brought the strong men of the whole clan, most of them are croppers, some are a handful of strength, and some people bullied the Chen Dynasty Dog Emperor so much that they couldn't survive, and they fell into the grass and became a hero, this time when they heard that the second son was going to cross the river, they all came over, saying that they wanted to avenge General Xiongxin. ”

Speaking of this, Uncle Fu Quan turned around and shouted towards the place where he came: "Come over and see the second son!"

The shadow in Wang Huaqiang's heart is getting heavier and heavier, the tandem of thousands of people, there are many mouths, in case there are a few anti-bone boys who want to go to the Chen Dynasty official mansion to receive the reward, that one is over.

Wang Xuan didn't seem to have any worries about this, looked at a large group of strong men running in the fog in the distance, laughed, and bowed: "Thanks to all the strong men who don't give up and participate in the grand event, today my Wang Xuan will take the test on behalf of everyone!"

This group of young juniors is different from the old guys in front of them, they are all dressed in cloth, except for more than 200 people who are dressed in black and holding steel knives, the rest of them are not clothed.

Among those poor haha, many people were full of dishes, and the qin shivered in the cold wind, and most of the people in their hands were wooden sticks, straw forks, etc., and Wang Huaqiang even saw dozens of people carrying hoes and coming.

Wang Xuan saw these people, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, Uncle Fu Quan didn't notice these slight changes in Wang Xuan's expression, and still excitedly introduced to Wang Xuan: "This Liu Changshan, his father Liu Sandao, was the personal guard of General Xiongxin back then, when the old thief attacked General Xiongxin, Liu Sandao fought to the death, and finally cut it into a ball of bloody mud. ”

Uncle Fu Quan was talking and talking, thinking of the past, and unconsciously burst into tears.

Wang Xuan also felt sour in his heart, and hugged his fists at Liu Changshan and said: "Brother Liu, Ling Zun has walked heroically, he is a man, I will take the test on your behalf, thank you." ”

That Liu Changshan was a farmer in his thirties, who looked powerful and powerful, with a black cloth belt tied on his head, and a patch-woven garment.

After Liu Changshan heard Wang Xuan's words, he laughed: "Second son, we are here to avenge General Wang and my father this time, the young men from the ten miles and eight towns in the vicinity are all here with me, everyone is not with the surname Chen, what to do, it is all up to your second son!"

Wang Xuan patted Liu Changshan's shoulder vigorously. Uncle Fu Quan pointed to the middle of the group of black-clothed people, led by a thin man with a big beard: "This is the famous man Ma Sanye in the Liyang area, his father Ma Erzhuang, was also the personal guard of the eldest prince back then, in order to cover the eldest prince's escape, he guarded the city gate, and he was hit by more than 30 arrows and did not fall."

Ma Erzhuang left three boys, this Ma Sanye is the most promising one, his two elder brothers are also good men in the green forest, and they have been killed by the Chen Dynasty government, Ma Sanye has been a well-known figure in the Liyang area for 20 years, killing the rich and helping the poor, if there is no help from him, I am afraid that these old brothers will not live now. ”

Wang Xuan adjusted his helmet and bowed his waist to the black-clothed bearded Ma Sanye: "Ma Zhuangshi, Wang Xiandai has taken the test first, thank you for your great kindness!"

Ma Sanye smiled, hugged his fists and returned a salute: "Second young master, we haven't read any books, we don't know what etiquette, my father died righteously, and my two brothers didn't disgrace our Ma family.

My father's life was saved by Wang Dashuai back then, and our Ma family should also be loyal to Wang Dashuai, second young master, you dare to enter the Chen Dynasty alone, what else can I Ma Laosan not get out? ”

Wang Xuan laughed: "Ma Zhuangshi, now that our Great Sui has been overwhelmed by a large army, my people are the first, and the millions of troops behind are waiting for our signal, they will immediately cross the river and level the Chen Dynasty.

Immediately after hearing Wang Xuan's words, all the people present shouted "yes!" Immediately after, the black-clothed men under Ma Sanye began to talk excitedly about how much reward they could get after this battle, and their momentum was much stronger than when they first came out.

Wang Huaqiang sighed in his heart, sure enough, the word loyalty and righteousness still have no real money reward, which stimulates people more.

After Wang Xuan finished talking to Ma Sanye, he didn't want to waste any more time getting to know these people one by one, so he said loudly: "Everyone, please listen to me quietly. ”

Everyone who was still talking to each other just now stopped, the fog was still filled, I don't know when, everyone present lit up torches, illuminating this area a lot, Wang Huaqiang didn't notice it just now, and suddenly found this after calming down, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

Wang Xuan is obviously aware of this, I am afraid that this is the main reason why he is starting to lecture now, only to hear his angry voice echoing in everyone's ears: "Everyone, thank you for your loyalty, for so many years, let everyone suffer, today Wang risked his life to set foot on the homeland of Jiangnan, which is to take revenge on everyone and let everyone turn over."

Now that Chen's army has not discovered us, and the heavenly soldiers of the Sui army on the other side are ready to go, we should now quickly and clearly map out a landing field five miles long and three miles wide for the landing of the army on the opposite side.

Then everyone will lead the way for the army and attack Jiankang City together, and when the time comes, the emperor of the Chen Dynasty and the dog officials will take whatever they want!"

Wang Xuan's words suddenly made everyone cheer as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the fires by the river shook for a while.

Wang Xuan continued to shout: "Now I'll arrange the task, Ma Sanye's brothers and the troops I brought are all on guard, especially to defend the enemy troops that may come from Jiankang City in the northeast, Brother Liu Changshan, please take your people and clear a vacant land by this river, pile up three pyres, light a fire, and give instructions to the other side." ”
