Beyond the mound, several familiar faces appeared in front of me again. The war horse also seemed to feel the mood of its master, and ran wildly without his life.
When there were still more than thirty steps away, Gu Zhenhua jumped off the war horse and ran over.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, meet again!"
"Meet, meet!" Sun Cheng and the others also laughed loudly, jumped off their horses one after another, and rushed to Gu Zhenhua's side.
It's been less than a month, but for everyone, it feels like a century. Several big men hugged each other fiercely, patted their shoulders, laughed and shouted, grinned at the corners of their mouths, and their eyes rolled down, which was crying with joy!
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, are you all right?"
"What can we do, we were recuperating from our injuries a few days ago, but we finally recovered, I heard that you ran to Wu Sangui's side, and I don't know how scared my brothers to death!" Sun Cheng said.
6 Yong also smiled: "We heard that Wu Sangui was going to surrender Dashun, and we didn't know what scared us, and we were still thinking about how to rush to the Guanning army and rescue you." β
"Second brother, didn't I confess at the time, Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng couldn't go together, didn't Zhou Kun tell you?"
Gu Zhenhua failed to go south as planned, so he had the idea of intervening in the battle of Shanhaiguan, and sent the escort Zhou Kun to secretly leave the Guanning Army and report to Sun Cheng and them.
"Hey, it's right to sue sΓΉ, but all kinds of news are flying all over the sky these days, and we can't be sure." Sun Cheng said with a smile: "Okay now, fourth, you hurry up and talk to your brothers, what happened during this time, you are followed by so many soldiers, is it possible that you can't turn it out again?" β
"Big brother, you are really knowledgeable, these are the brothers of Guan Ningjun, they are unwilling to follow Wu Sangui to surrender to the Manchus, so they let the younger brother bring it out."
Wu Sangui? Manchu? Xie Bin's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise: "Lord Gu, Wu Sangui really surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, what did Shanhaiguan look like?" β
"Let's find a place and talk slowly!"
Gu Zhenhua pulled a few people to the bottom of a big tree, and after sitting down, he introduced the things that had passed in the past few days to Sun Cheng and them.
Several people all listened carefully, and the more they listened, the wider their eyes widened, and in the end, 6 Yong couldn't help but punch Gu Zhenhua's chest, and said with a laugh: "Fourth, you are too powerful, Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng, plus Dolgon of the Manchu Dynasty, all let you calculate." Tell me, is there anything you don't dare to do in this world? β
Xue Biao also exclaimed: "Fourth brother, this is even more interesting than Mr. Storyteller!" β
Xie Bin beat his chest on the side, and said with great regret: "Sir, I knew it was so exciting, and I followed you." It's a pity, if only I could kill the big traitor Wu Sangui, and also remove a scourge for the world. β
Sun Cheng frowned, obviously not so happy: "Fourth, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has entered the customs, and this world really has to be as you said at the beginning?" β
Gu Zhenhua also nodded slightly: "Big brother, no matter what, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has hit the Dashun army hard, and they will definitely expand the results of the battle in the next step, and even the Central Plains of Muma, our brothers should also think about a way out." β
"I didn't say it, everyone listens to you!" 6 Yong said with a smile: "The fourth man is like a god, and those big people can't escape your calculations, you must have an idea." β
Gu Zhenhua also smiled: "What should I do, I'll talk about it later, I'll introduce a few new brothers to my brothers." β
Just as he was talking, Li Jibo, Li Xu, Guo Yunlong, Yue Poyu and others also rushed over. Everyone met and introduced each other, and they were all very enthusiastic.
Sun Cheng also used to mix in the border army, and as soon as he said a few words to Li Xu, he was very temperamental, and the more he talked, the more enthusiastic he became, and everyone else was no exception.
Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "When I was in the capital, I was born and died with my eldest brother, and when I arrived at Shanhaiguan, I fought side by side with Brother Li and them, living and dying together. From now on, everyone will be brothers, brothers and sisters with different surnames! β
"Good!" Sun Cheng smiled first: "The big guys have different identities, but God let us come together, that is fate, I think we might as well worship together, and knock our heads on the ground." β
Everyone applauded in unison, and 6 Yong suddenly laughed: "Big brother, I think there is one more person to do!" β
Sun Cheng also suddenly woke up and laughed: "Fourth, I patronized and listened to you, my brothers haven't been in vain these days, I'll introduce you to someone." β
Gu Zhenhua had already noticed the smug look on Sun Cheng's face, and guessed that they might have some special gains, and immediately smiled: "What a great hero, let the little brother see it." β
Xue Biao smiled and said, "Big brother, you tell the fourth brother, I'll go find General Zhou." Saying that, Xue Biao turned around and left, and Sun Cheng also smiled and told Gu Zhenhua about their experience.
After breaking up, Sun Cheng and his subordinates found a small mountain village to hide, recuperating from their injuries and bringing news to the other. After Li Yan lost the battle, he was not reconciled, and sent many soldiers to investigate the news. Sun Cheng and the others hid and hid, and after half a month, everyone's body was almost recovered, and the energy of the Dashun army was also transferred to Wu Sangui's body.
Sun Cheng and the others secretly sent people to loot the noble farms and get the gold and silver they transferred in accordance with Gu Zhenhua's explanation.
As a result, during the robbery, another group of robbers appeared, and Sun Cheng was unwilling to fight, so he agreed to fight with them and share the profits together.
Just as he was acting, Sun Cheng noticed that this group of people did not look like ordinary bandits, they acted in a very orderly manner, much like a regular army. And the other party also noticed their strangeness, and after grabbing it, sat down to talk, and Sun Cheng knew the identity of this group.
The leader is named Zhou Yingjie, and he is the nephew of Zhou Yuji, the chief soldier of Shanxi! It was retreated from Ningwu Pass.
On the way of Li Zicheng's attack on the capital, the most tragic battle was born in Ningwu Pass, and the general soldier Zhou Yuji led the army to fight to the death, inflicting heavy losses on Li Zicheng.
Zhou Yingjie also told them the details of the battle of Ningwuguan: "My uncle guarded the lonely city, and how many times did he defeat the attack of thieves, and the corpses were almost piled up and the city wall was as high as one side. We fought day and night with the thieves, and when the gunpowder ran out, my uncle surrendered, lured the thieves into the city, and beheaded four generals in the camp! β
"I have been guarding for half a month and killing tens of thousands of thieves, but the court just doesn't send reinforcements! As a result, the city wall was breached, and the uncle fought a bloody battle with the thieves, killing dozens of enemies. The arrow on the body, the dense turn, just like a hedgehog! When Zhou Yingjie said this, his eyes were red, and his fists were clenched and he was clenched.
"In order for my uncle to be able to concentrate on the battle, my grandmother raised fire when the city was broken. The hometown will also be thrown into the fire. My aunt led dozens of female soldiers, fought to the death, killed and injured an enemy soldier with one arrow, and was finally set on fire by the thieves! β
Listening to Zhou Yingjie's introduction, Sun Cheng and 6 Yong also nodded frequently, the whole family of Zhoumen died for the country, which is really a loyal martyr, and everyone admires it. Sun Cheng and the others also had a merciful mind.
"General Zhou, let's not hide it, the thieves broke the capital, and together with the fourth brother who swore to us, we rescued the prince from the capital!"
"What? Where is the prince? Zhou Yingjie hurriedly said, "I'm going to meet His Royal Highness the Prince." β
"The prince was not by our side, but was taken away by the fourth child." Sun Cheng immediately gave a brief introduction to the matter with Gu Zhenhua.
When Zhou Yingjie heard this, he also hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Several gentlemen sacrificed their lives to save the prince, which is really admirable, my Zhou family is loyal and filial heirloom." Yingjie failed to die with his uncle, and he was already ashamed of his ancestors, and I am willing to follow a few gentlemen, and one day I can protect the prince and go south and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty. β
Sun Cheng and the others were overjoyed when they heard that Zhou Yingjie was willing to join, and in this way, their manpower suddenly exceeded five hundred.
There were many people and great strength, and they plundered all the noble farms, and the silver they got exceeded two million taels, which was a huge amount of money wherever they were placed.
Zhou Yingjie mentioned yì to recruit other people, Li Zicheng fought all the way, and many surrendered, but there were still many border troops who simply became bandits, in the battle of Ningwu Pass, Zhou Yuji's subordinates also had many breakthroughs, scattered and fled, and most of them fell into bandits.
Originally, Zhou Yingjie had no money or food, and there were still difficulties in maintaining hundreds of people, so he didn't dare to expand his team. But with Sun Cheng's help, they grabbed a large amount of gold, silver and food, and there was no problem, and soon their team exceeded 2,000 people.
Coincidentally, at this time, the Dashun army went north to Shanhaiguan and fought against Wu Sangui. Sun Cheng and the others also took the men and horses and quietly followed. According to the original plan, they wanted to meet Gu Zhenhua, who knew that the battle of Shanhaiguan was much faster than expected, and when they rushed over, the battle was over.
The scouts sent showed Gu Zhenhua's team, they had no banners, and they carried a large number of carriages, and there were too many war horses than soldiers.
As soon as he reported to Sun Cheng, Sun Cheng was immediately overjoyed, this style was too similar to Gu Zhenhua, this was how they were when they went out of Beijing, they hurriedly came over, and the brothers met again!
When he was talking, Xue Biao also brought Zhou Yingjie over, Gu Zhenhua suddenly got up, looked at Zhou Yingjie carefully, in his early twenties, he looked very handsome, and he walked with a tiger's spirit, and he was indeed worthy of being behind the door.
"General Zhou Xiao, Gu Zhenhua is below, and several brothers have also introduced it. I have also admired Zhou Zongbing for a long time, especially in the battle of Yangliuhe, Zhou Zongbing won more with less, killing thousands of Manchu Tartars, which is really singing and crying. Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has entered the customs again, I am afraid that the ambition will be greater, and we are determined to resist the Qing, is the little general willing to participate? β
Zhou Yingjie has also been looking at Gu Zhenhua for a long time, this figure is more than half a head taller than himself, and his whole body is full of heroic spirit, and when he stops there, his momentum is not weaker than that of his uncle Zhou Yuji, there is no doubt that this is also the heroic spirit of killing from the army of ten thousand horses, which makes people admire from the heart.
Especially in these days, when I heard Sun Cheng and them introduce the situation in the capital, and knew that Gu Zhenhua sacrificed his life to rescue the prince, he threw himself into Gu Zhenhua.
Zhou Yingjie immediately bowed and saluted: "Lord Gu, my uncle has either fought with the Manchus or with the Liukou all these years, Yingjie doesn't dare to weaken the name of Zhoumen, just say what you have to say." β
Gu Zhenhua suddenly laughed: "General Zhou, there is indeed one thing now, that is, I don't know if you are willing to bow to the brothers present?" β
