Chapter 503: Advance and retreat together

From Zhang Ru's words, it can be heard that Xiao Anu and he were transferred back together, but now that he appears in front of the saddle on the bright side, Xiao Anu is nowhere to be found.

In the past, Jiang Wei and Fan Tong were one on the bright side and the other in the dark, but now Meng Fu has replaced Fan Tong and Xiao Anu who replaced Jiang Wei, but they have never appeared.

This is very abnormal in Meng Fu's opinion, it stands to reason that even if others don't know what Xiao Anu is doing, he, an ally, should also know.

Thinking all the way, I unconsciously arrived at the Fuzhou Navy Station, Zhang Ru dismounted, Meng Fu was excited, jumped off the horse, and led the horse forward for Zhang Ru.

Soon, a soldier of the Fuzhou Navy Division took the reins from his hand, and the two of them went straight to the Fuzhou Navy Division's tent.

There was no one in the big tent, and the veteran sailors who occupied the magpie's nest had returned to military life, and at this time, they were sweating on the school grounds.

The men with bulging muscles sweated profusely under the scorching sun, and judging from their figures alone, it was difficult to tell that most of these people were old parents.

Of course, this is also related to the limitations of this era, men can get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and fathers at the age of fifteen or sixteen abound.

Chen Guang was not in the camp at all, and he couldn't find anyone after looking for a long time, and finally a sweaty captain came back from the school and happened to see Zhang Ru, so he explained a few words.

"How many brothers are there now?" After wandering around the empty camp for a long time, it was not easy to catch a person, so Zhang Ru naturally wanted to ask about the situation.

The lieutenant smiled and said, "Master Hou, those old brothers have basically returned, but a few of them are the only sons in the family, and they were blown away by the Admiral." The brothers who remain in the camp now are about ninety percent, even if the imperial army besieges Fuzhou, we have the strength to fight. ”

Zhang Ru asked, "Where did Chen Guang go?" ”

The lieutenant shook his head and said, "This last general doesn't know, and the whereabouts of Lord Admiral are not something that we small soldiers and young generals can know." Maybe Lord Admiral didn't know that Master Hou was coming over, so he went out for a walk. ”

"Distracted? What is his heart that he can't knot? Zhang Ru frowned.

The lieutenant scratched his head, glanced at Zhang Ru with some embarrassment, and saw that he seemed to be in a good mood, so he sneered: "Master Hou doesn't know, since the last time Lord Admiral came back from the prefect's yamen, he has been worried. The last general and others asked, but the adults refused to say, but they were just confused.

No, a few days ago, the Admiral said that he was going out to relax, and we had the heart to follow, but the Admiral refused to follow his subordinates.

In desperation, a group of hot-blooded sons had to stay.

It's okay to be idle, let's compete on the school field, sweating on the school field, it's better than bleeding on the battlefield. ”

Zhang Ru sighed: "What is the purpose of your stay?" ”

The captain said: "This purpose, the last general can't say." When I used to listen to the book review, I heard a sentence that told the priest to die for the confidant, and the woman to please the self. The last general is a rough man who has never read a book, thinking that in this life, he may not be able to be a woman who pleases himself, and he has to be a confidant who dies. ”

Zhang Ru said calmly: "I don't think I'm your confidant. ”

The lieutenant smiled: "Master Hou is a nobleman, and he sees more people every day than we see in a month, so naturally he won't remember a little person like the general."

But the last general will always remember that when the Fuzhou sailor class returned to the court, it was the Hou Ye who personally led people to greet him at the pier.

Although the last general and others brought back a huge amount of treasure, it was not enough for a marquis to come and greet him personally. ”

He remembers his kindness, and that's his reason.

Although this reason seemed far-fetched to Zhang Ru, he still stubbornly insisted on his reason.

"At that time, I was no longer the Hou Ye." Zhang Ru tried to convince the lieutenant.

But the captain didn't think to listen to Zhang Ru's advice: "No matter whether the Hou Ye was the Hou Ye at that time or not, the Hou Ye will always be the Hou Ye." For three years, we have been adrift on the sea for three years, and many people have no confidence to live, and we were able to persevere in the end because of Hou Ye.

The Admiral said that people have to be persistent. Master Hou can drain his liver and gall for the sake of Daming, why can't we rough people?

At that time, there were about 300 brothers who wanted to commit suicide, including me.

The admiral also said that since ancient times, if it is not a famous general, which martial artist can engrave his name on a stone tablet after dying on the battlefield, and which general is willing to ask for a reputation for the soldiers who died in battle.

We haven't read a book, but we understand the reason.

Our Daming is also Hou Ye, who can really think about his brothers, and only Hou Ye dares to be the first in the world.

Now Fuzhou is in trouble, and I don't care what others think, but if I leave like this, it will be too inhuman.

My mother told me when I was very young that the most important sign of a man is responsibility. One day you will leave your mother's arms, and one day you will hold up a piece of the sky for your family alone. The backer behind you may be able to rely on you for a while, but it will definitely not let you rely on it for a lifetime.

Master Hou, in the hearts of your brothers, your status is very high, even higher than that of today's saints. ”

Zhang Ru was silent for a long time when he heard this.

He didn't know how to explain it to these brothers, let alone how to deal with their sincerity.

"You have to think clearly, now we are enemies of the imperial court, don't say that the current strength of Fuzhou is not enough to resist the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court, and the grain and grass alone will not be able to support Fuzhou City until the end of the year.

If you stay, not only may you not be able to leave your name in history in the end, but you are also very likely to be remembered for 10,000 years. Zhang Ru thought for a long time before he said.

His wording has been carefully considered, he doesn't know if these brothers will scold him in the end Zhang Wenxuan is not a thing, and he doesn't know how many people will survive after this war.

The lieutenant smiled very indifferently, looking at Zhang Ru's young face, he smiled extremely brightly: "Master Hou, the brothers didn't think so much, the only thing they thought about was nothing more than to advance and retreat with Master Hou."

Die, then die a tragic death, you can't leave a name in history, you can always leave a stench for 10,000 years, at least you have left your name in the history books.

Besides, the brothers believe that Hou Ye can lead everyone out of the predicament. ”

Zhang Ru sighed: "I, Zhang Wenxuan, am ashamed of my trust in my brothers!" Since this is the case, then we will advance and retreat together, and if we can't live, we will die a tragic death. ”

The lieutenant laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, this is the Hou Ye in our hearts!" ”

This lieutenant may be a great figure in the hearts of the people, but he is just a small person in front of a truly amazing figure like Zhang Ru. However, it is such a character who is not up or down, in the face of life and death choices, he resolutely chooses a line of thought that has no hope of life at all.

And there are tens of thousands of such people in Fuzhou.
