The march of the army was quite boring, so in the next few days, during the march, many officers and soldiers kept talking about the food rush as a kind of entertainment.

On this day, Zhou Xun boasted in front of Yu Ji again: "Only a person like you who has never seen the world will be afraid of such a small Jiupin Warehouse Ambassador." ”

"I think back then, when our adults were in the capital as commanders, we were brothers and sisters with the Chongwenmen tax ambassador. Do you know what the Chongwenmen Tax Ambassador is? That's the most majestic nine-rank official in the world. So how can our adults take the current Jiupin official in their eyes? ”

"That's why I said Brother Yu, follow us adults, just be bold, don't look forward and backward all day long, grab when you should rob, and kill when you should kill. You can't go wrong by listening to us adults. What's it to grab some food? It's okay to grab a few women! ”

"Except for our Brother Zhou!" Seeing that Zhou Xun was elated, Liang Hui interjected on the side.

Liang Hui's words caused hahadaxiao among the people around him. Because although Zhou Xun ran away from marriage at that time, he disliked his fiancée for not looking good. But when he became Queen Qin, after he and his fiancée got married, Zhou Xun had a deep relationship with his wife. It seems that the daughter of this official eunuch does have education and means, and this wife must marry a virtuous person, which is the truth.

So in public, Zhou Xun's fear of his wife has become a joke within the officer corps of the Runing Battalion. Of course, those officers thought that Wu Shigong was the most afraid of his wife in the Runing battalion, but no one dared to say it in front of Wu Shigong. In addition, they no longer comment on Yang Goudan.

While these people were talking and laughing, several galloping horses suddenly appeared in the distance. Wu Shigong's front army was immediately ready to meet the enemy, and when these horses approached, they found out that it was a false alarm. These were the few cavalrymen sent by Wu Shigong to investigate the front.

These cavalrymen were put in front of Wu Shigong, and the leading cavalry gave a military salute to Wu Shigong and said, "My lord, four or five miles ahead, I found a group of homeless people fighting in the house. ”

"Oh?" It is not surprising that there are homeless people, and now there are many disasters, and the groups of homeless people on both sides of the road, these officers of the Runing battalion are also commonplace. But this infighting among the homeless people made Wu Shigong a little interested.

Out of prudence, Wu Shigong ordered: "Sanhe, you can take a cavalry team of 100 people to have a look, and then talk about the situation." ”

After Li Sanhe set off with a cavalry team of 100 people, Wu Shigong's army also stopped advancing and rested on the spot, waiting for the news to come back.

After another period of time, I saw Li Sanhe escorting a convoy back. And the owner of this convoy surprised Wu Shigong. That is Wu Shigong's fifth brother Wu Shiwen.

Wu Shiwen is really unlucky. At that time, he went to Guizhou to become a magistrate, but later abandoned the county seat and fled because of the rebellion of Lu'an, and lost his official position. Later, he finally restored his official position through Wu Shigong's merits, and came to Shandong to become a magistrate again.

But this peaceful life has not passed for a few years, and this time it has encountered a situation of chaos in Shandong. After escaping once, Wu Shiwen no longer had the psychological burden of abandoning the city and fleeing. When he learned that there were traces of chaos around the county, he didn't send anyone to find out the exact situation, and in order to save his life, he immediately left everything and fled from the county with his family.

Wu Shiwen did not give up on his colleagues, and before escaping, he also notified all the officials and big families in the county. It can be seen that the top leaders in the county town have fled, this person has the mentality of following the crowd, and all the officials and many big families also formed a convoy with their families, and fled from his county town with Wu Shiwen.

Wu Shiwen thought so, as long as he fled to Jining City, he would send someone to inform his fourteenth brother, Wu Shigong. Wu Shiwen didn't know that Wu Shigong would go north this time, but Wu Shiwen knew that Wu Shigong had a strong army here, although that army was stationed in Runing Mansion, but it was not far from Jining City. For the safety of the fifth brother, the fourteenth brother Wu Shigong should also lend a hand.

Even if the fourteenth brother Wu Shigong can't come to the rescue without the order to transfer troops, then at least stay in the heavily guarded Jining City, and his life safety will always be guaranteed. You must know that this Jining City is the hub of the canal, and the imperial court has always stationed a large army here.

As for the charges of abandoning the city and fleeing from the court in the future, the court will talk about it later. At least for now, I have to save my life. Anyway, it is not the first time that Wu Shiwen has faced this situation.

But in the process of escaping, there was still an accident. The composition of Wu Shiwen's team is all people who were originally in the position of being superior. When they encountered a group of homeless people blocking their convoy, Wu Shiwen's house slaves, of course, waved their whips to drive away these homeless people who were not in the way.

But in this chaotic time, the fear of the government and the observance of the law by those displaced people have basically disappeared.

So first there was a quarrel, then the quarrel became a small friction, and a small friction became a big fight. If it weren't for the discord of the homeless people, the outnumbered homeless people would have swallowed up the convoy long ago.

But even so, when Li Sanhe's cavalry arrived, killed the group of homeless people and rescued the convoy, the entire convoy had already lost a lot of manpower. Fortunately, most of these manpower are the domestic slaves of those official gentry's families, and the losses of those official gentry and their families are relatively small.

After Wu Shigong and his fifth brother Wu Shiwen met, they knew that Wu Shiwen had fled the county, so something big must have happened. So Wu Shigong hurriedly exchanged salutes with Wu Shiwen's family, found an empty carriage, and asked Wu Shiwen alone what happened?

"Fifth brother! Where did you come from in the chaos near the county seat? ”

"I don't know! Yujian was also a ghost, so he slept all night, and several counties in the vicinity were in such chaos. ”

"And what do you know?"

"It seems that an army has mutinied. I don't know which one it is! However, I heard that it was the Ming army that set off from Denglai here to rescue Liaodong. Huh? Fourteenth brother, why did you come here with the army? ”

"It was also ordered by the Ministry of War to let me also take the Runing Battalion north to rescue Liaodong." Wu Shigong smiled bitterly, "So where is this mutinous army active?" ”

"I really don't know!" Wu Shiwen really didn't know, he was just running away at that time.

……

Although he asked for a long time, Wu Shigong still didn't learn any useful information from his fifth brother Wu Shiwen. After the conversation was over, Wu Shigong met with the officers who had gone to the other gentry who had escaped to learn about the situation, and learned that those gentry knew no more than his fifth brother Wu Shiwen.

At this moment, Wu Shigong made a difficulty. You must know that the current Wu Shigong is not in Henan, which is familiar with Runingying, they are in Shandong, where they are not familiar with their lives.

What is the scope of this sudden unrest in Shandong? What was the number of mutinous troops? Where are they active now? How far away is it from your own army? Wu Shigong didn't know any of this.

Wu Shigong's Runing battalion was only 1,200 men, and it was impossible to send a large number of cavalry for long-range reconnaissance, and it was only able to reconnoiter an area about 20 miles away from the army.

And now Wu Shigong's task is to rush to Shanhaiguan. Is it to keep moving forward with the original task? Or do you want to be stationed on the spot to defend against the rebels? Or is the chaotic army big and retreats to Henan?

Wu Shigong felt his head grow big all of a sudden!
