Chapter Ninety-Five
The rain was pouring down, and Zhen Baoyu stood in the rain, silent.
After that night, Zhen Baoyu died.
His cousin died as Zhen Baoyu.
The one who survived was named Donnie Yen.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, like water drops about to rush to the ground, I can't wait for the ranking, I squeezed you, you squeezed me, and formed a whole piece of cold water, pouring it down without a head or brain.
The rain hit his body, face, and hair in big drops. The cool water, slowly seeping into my skin and blurring my eyes, kept pouring until it became a small river.
The rain is cold, the heart is also cold, and the heat in the whole body is gradually cooling.
The smell of rust is mixed with the cold and wet moisture.
Zhen Baoyu was drenched and looked at her side blankly.
The water under your feet is all red.
There were corpses everywhere.
From time to time, a few low moans could be heard in the distance.
Looking around, there was only the iron sword in his hand.
Fang Cai, it was this sword, these hands, that personally killed several enemies and earned a way for him to survive.
The Zhen family is so powerful, covering the sky with one hand, who doesn't know who doesn't know Jinling?
Six salt farms, 37,000 salt dings, who dares to offend?
Even the local prefect also kills if he wants to, and degrades if he wants.
However, it was such a big Zhen family, and it was uprooted overnight.
What township and county inspection, what place township bravery, when encountering a strong army that has formed a system, it is simply vulnerable.
The power that the family has been running for decades is not at all useful at this time.
Wu Hou occupies the righteousness, that is, orthodoxy, and his rule in Yangzhou has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
At the critical juncture, only the hundreds of dead soldiers cultivated by the family were still reliable, and they absconded all the way behind him.
However, they were driven and killed halfway, and more than half of them were lost, and in the end only sixty-seven people remained.
Luckily, he mobilized 3,000 people, broke the treasury, took out the accumulated money and grain, and then kept contacting the Zhen family's scattered salt farms and hidden forces one after another.
In the end, 20,000 young people were gathered and fought on the shallow beach.
Victory is victory.
The enemy army rushed forward and got into a melee, and with his rich experience in gang fighting, he won the battle.
The 2,000 county soldiers were annihilated, and the soldiers who dared to fight in the neighboring counties were almost empty.
However, the 20,000 young men have now lost everything, and half of them can survive afterwards, which is already good, and it is a blessing to have 30% of them to continue to fight.
According to conservative estimates, there may be only five or six thousand people left.
The only fortunate thing is that these people have all experienced a life-and-death battle, and they are no more recruits who have never seen blood.
Perhaps, you can rely on them to occupy several counties?
However, after this battle, Wu Hou will be surrounded and suppressed by heavy troops.
The land of Yangzhou can be described as an enemy every step of the way.
Where does he go from here?
"If you want to take revenge on your family, it won't work on my own."
"I have to try to contact the Han Emperor and take refuge in the Han Emperor, which is the only way for me to break the situation at the moment."
Struggling, gathering the remnants of the soldiers, Zhen Baoyu tried to relieve the wounded, while thinking about the next military strategy in his heart.
"Wu Hou won't give me a second chance······ This victory is purely a fluke, and we must not pin our hopes on it. ”
"Fortunately, this battle has emptied all the soldiers who can fight in several counties near Jinling, and when they can reflect it, it will take one to two days, and it will take a while to mobilize troops and horses again, about three to five days, which is safe."
"During this time, I have to try to grow stronger and at the same time buy time, do everything I can to buy time."
"The Han Emperor wants to take Yangzhou, Wu Hou is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, and the Han Emperor's soldiers are far better than Wu Hou, Wu Hou Sheng has been operating for decades, and the people are attached to the people here, the foundation is solid, and there is a strong naval army, which is not easy to dismiss."
"If I want to intervene between the two, I can't be too weak, and if I want to use my strength to play, I must also have the value of being used as a pawn······ I must survive the blows of Wu Hou, and the longer I live, the more trouble I will cause to Wu Hou, and the more valuable I will be to Emperor Han. ”
"Emperor Han must be happy to see the existence of such a chess piece as me in the hinterland of Wu Hou, add chaos to him, contain Wu Hou's soldiers and horses, even if it is out of the overall situation, he will send someone to contact me and give me support."
"The premise of this is that I survive, at least, survive the next blow of Wu Hou, and survive until the Han Emperor's manpower in Yangzhou contacts me······"
Zhen Baoyu is not Jia Baoyu who is unlearned and unskilled, he has been cultivated as an emperor since he was a child.
The Four Books and the Five Classics are only roughly flipped through, and they are not very sad.
What he really worked hard to learn was history books, the art of war, statecraft, archery, horseback riding and archery.
Backed by the Zhen family, what teachers can't be invited, and what resources can't be supplied?
Even if it is a pig, under the training of such teachers, it can become the king of pigs who dominate the mountains and forests.
What's more, he has been very talented since he was a child, and he is willing to work hard?
Zhen Baoyu thought so.
When he didn't know it, a dark purple natal qi swayed slightly above his head.
The dark purple canopy that originally shrouded the whole body already appeared thin and transparent in several places.
In the void, the purple qi merges into the cloud qi above, and then into the canopy, constantly making up for it.
There were large clouds of purple-black evil qi around him, clustered outside, constantly colliding with the purple qi canopy, and the slightest trace of the auspicious qi on it was consumed.
In the distance, in the sky, in the direction of Wuhou, a red dragon, with slightly broken scale armor, and a few drops of blood dripping from the lower part of the abdomen, roared in pain.
In those golden eyes, white lightning flashed, striking towards this place.
Every time, the canopy fluctuated for a while, and the slightest bit of luck escaped for it.
However, Zhen Baoyu has deep luck after all, and despite the suppression of Chijiao, the canopy has been strong.
Against the continuous accumulation of purple-black evil qi on the periphery, the canopy slowly recovered under the endless supply of purple qi somewhere in the void.
The wind swept violently, blowing the nearby mortal woods to both sides, and a carriage shrouded in white clouds fell from the sky.
One of them, a woman like a snow lotus, was white, not contaminated with any dust, and her whole body was bathed in a snow-capped mountain-like white cloud aura, faintly above her head, there was a sea of clouds and a bright moon.
This person has a taste of "the bright moon rises out of the Tianshan Mountains, and the vast sea of clouds", which makes people elegant, dusty, and looks like there is a very deep taste of holiness.
"Su Fairy ······"
Zhen Baoyu was happy in his heart, took a few steps forward, and then paused hesitantly.
Looking up and down his body, he was covered with blood and muddy water.
He suddenly smiled bitterly, and in a hoarse and tired voice, he called softly:
"Fairy Su, I'm really sorry to let you see my embarrassed appearance."
