Chapter 349 [Transformation of Elbows and Armpits]
"Kiko, how do you choose?"
Facing the stern step-ancestor with a grim expression, Song Xi fell into silence, his eyes wandered, and finally he couldn't avoid it, so he said: "Big brother, can we ignore this matter?" ”
Song Xi's answer made Xu Jizu have nothing to say, and at the same time, Song Xi's choice also made Xu Jizu realize that Zhao Jun's influence in the Red Turban Army was still deep-rooted.
And no wonder......
Mao Gui crossed the sea to invade Shandong, and it was only a little more than a year, but before that, Mao Gui's department of the Red Turban Army was fighting with Meng Yuan under the banner of Zhao Junyong-
When it is difficult, everyone drinks the same pot of water;
When happy, everyone drinks a pot of wine;
And at that time, whether it was his step-ancestor or Song Xi and others, their status in the Red Turban Army was even lower, and although Zhao Junyong was stubborn and self-serving, he was known for being close to the people in the army.
When there is no immediate conflict of interest, it is too difficult for them to resist Zhao Junyong.
"Zhao Dashuai is not suitable for the commander of the army," Xu Jizu plans to touch Zhao Jun for use, of course, this is not for Zhao Jun, just to tell the truth, "Moreover, the situation in Shandong is not the same as before." ”
"Big brother, this is a matter between the imperial court, I don't care," Song Xi looked at Xu Jizu in embarrassment, "And I can't do it, so please forgive me, big brother, I really can only help each other in this matter." ”
However, if the two do not help each other, it is a betrayal......
This sentence was finally swallowed by the ancestor of the successor, because the Red Turban Army could not withstand the infighting, and Zhao Junyong was a good hand in the infighting-
Zhao Junyong and Peng Da (another veteran leader of the Red Turban Army) were defeated by the Yuan soldiers and moved to Haozhou, and the Red Turban Army in Haozhou was divided into two factions, which respectively supported Zhao Junyong and Peng Da as leaders, and then Haozhou infighting, and two years later there was a fire and merger, Zhao Junyong killed Peng Da and monopolized power.
Although Zhao Junyong did have a prominent record, he once killed the king of Zhennan of Meng Yuan, but. Zhao Jun has a strong desire for power, and Mao Gui was a subordinate of Zhao Jun, and now Zhao Jun is used in Shandong, whether it is passing through or staying for a long time. At that time, who will be in charge of the Shandong Red Turban Army, these problems cannot be solved......
Prime Minister Liu Futong, what do you think?
Do you suspect that Mao Dashuai did not do his best in the Northern Expedition?
Xu Jizu fell into deep worry, and at this moment, he extremely earnestly hoped that Mao Gui and Zhao Junyong could focus on the overall situation. Focus on the great cause of the Red Turban Army.
It's just that......
Since the successive battles in Shandong, Mao Gui's temperament has also changed, he is no longer a pure general, and has begun to transform into a qualified commander, and Shandong has become a self-reserved place in Mao Gui's heart......
Peach picking......
These three words alone show Mao Gui's resentment towards the comer.
……
Three wolf smoke rose in the sky above Weijiazhuang and soared into the sky.
At this moment, not only Zhao Tianlun saw it, but Liu Yanqing and Qi Wanshan also saw it, Zhao Junyong also saw it, and as for the successor ancestor, it was naturally no exception......
Yuan Bing has action!
North, west, and south of Weijiazhuang sounded at the same time a piercing alarm. Song Xi turned to Xu Jizu: "Big brother, Wei Laogou's reinforcements are here, and the younger brother will not be here to guard, so I will leave it to the eldest brother to garrison here." ”
The Continuation Ancestor was silent for a moment and nodded: "Xizi, take care." ”
"Big brother," Song Xi hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "Don't think so much, if Zhao Dashuai wants to come back." No one can stop us, after all, we are still the Red Turban Army. ”
The corners of Ji Jizu's mouth twitched, and he barely squeezed out a smile: "Brother Wei understands, Xizi, you don't have to worry." The big picture counts. ”
Song Xi didn't say anything more, mobilized the Red Turban Army under his command, and began to rush to the aid of Jiang Ku, who was guarding the south.
It's not so much a rush to help, but rather an escape from Song Xi, escaping this difficult choice within the Shandong Group of the Red Turban Army.
Mao Gui.
Zhao Junyong.
Who should they choose?
They have all drunk water in a scoop, and they have all crawled in a pit. It's all their bosses, who can they choose?
If you can't choose, you might as well not choose!
At this moment, in Song Xi's heart, there was a trace of gratitude to the attacking Yuan soldiers.
"General, what are we going to do?"
Seeing Song Xi leave in a hurry, Xu Jizu's face was gloomy, and he looked back at the direction of the camp and didn't say a word for a long time.
The successor was silent, and the subordinates he brought were not easy to fight, but everyone couldn't waste it here, and in the end, it was a close confidant of the successor who stepped forward to ask.
"How?"
Xu Jizu asked rhetorically and shook his head: "Our battlefield is not here, our battlefield is there." ”
Raise your arms, and the step-ancestor points forward.
"Old Wei dog?"
"General, it's long overdue for us to get on it."
"yes, if we had been allowed to do so, it wouldn't have been delayed until now."
……
Listening to the gossip of his subordinates, Ji Zu smiled bitterly in his heart, wiped his face, and said sharply: "Let me ask you, if someone wants to be unfavorable to Mao Dashuai, what will you do?" ”
Everyone said in unison: "Kill him!" ”
"What if this person is the leader of the Red Turbans?"
Xu Jizu's words suddenly made everyone cold, and after a while, someone Nuo Nuo spoke: "General, you won't mean Zhao Dashuai, right?" ”
"All I have to ask you is what you do?" Xu Jizu glared at this person, "As a warrior, you don't ask who the target is, only what the mission is, what will you do?" ”
"General, we are the only one who looks to you."
"General, as long as you give the order, we dare to kill the Heavenly King Laozi!"
"If you want to be unfavorable to the general, you are our enemy!"
……
"In that case," Ji Zu waved vigorously, "go back to the camp!" ”
"Whoa!"

The three-candle wolf smoke rising from the sky above Weijiazhuang made Zhao Tianlun have an ominous premonition, because it meant that reinforcements appeared in Weijiazhuang, otherwise, who would they contact?
Even, the Yuan soldiers of Weijiazhuang will break through!
Zhao Tianlun thought of this, Liu Yanqing and Qi Wanshan were naturally no exception, these two immediately took the risk to stand up on horseback, looked around, sat down again, looked at each other, and their faces were ugly.
"What's the matter, Wei Laogou actually has reinforcements, this is not scientific." Liu Yanqing scratched his head, looking puzzled. "Could it be that someone is really on the side of Yuan Bing, and he also said that he moved the Mengyuan Imperial Court?"
"What we see now is that the besieging armies to the north and south are in a state of confusion and dilemma. Whether to continue to attack Weijiazhuang or retreat to meet the reinforcements of Weijiazhuang is uncertain. ”
Qi Wanshan sighed, not without luck: "Fortunately, we don't have reinforcements from Weijiazhuang on our side, otherwise our side will be messed up." ”
"We're already messed up here," Liu Yanqing grimaced. Snorted angrily, "Wei Jiazhuang actually took advantage of the time when we were handing over to the next 10,000-person team to launch a counterattack, which was really insidious and cunning. ”
Just when Weijiazhuang ignited the smoke of three candles and wolves, four teams rushed out from Weijiazhuang and launched a desperate counterattack against the attacking Red Turban Army.
The number of Yuan soldiers in Weijiazhuang was not large, but they were close behind the retreating Red Turban Army and chased them closely, unless the Red Turban Army could collectively stay in place......
No, this possibility does not exist!
The retreating Red Turbans wished to have more legs than their companions, so that they could turn around and fight heroically. Fighting for a glimmer of life for his companions with his own life is too demanding.
As for the 10,000-person team that rotated the battlefield with Liu Yanqing, the situation encountered was even more complicated.
They stopped step by step, always paying attention to the reaction in the camp, because in the event of a change in the enemy's situation, they could be thrown into a new battlefield at any time.
However, the new order did not come from the camp for a long time, but there were bursts of cheers.
What's going on?
"We can't retreat," Liu Yanqing frowned, "If we retreat, we will be in danger of collapse." When the time comes, Mao Gui will not be able to spare us. ”
"You guys, up!"
Liu Yanqing immediately made a decision and commanded the personal guards to go up: "Be a supervising team." If there are those who retreat, there will be no forgiveness! ”
The hundred guards immediately swung their swords forward, mercilessly slashing the retreaters, and at the same time, they shouted sharply:
"The general has an order, only forward, not backward. Those who retreat will not be forgiven! ”
"The general has an order, only forward, not backward, those who retreat will not be killed!"
"The general has an order, only forward, not backward, those who retreat will not be killed!"
……
Liu Yanqing's decisive measures saved the situation on the battlefield in the east, and the attacking Weijiazhuang Yuan soldiers were beaten by the Red Turban Army and finally died of exhaustion.
It's just that now there is a rather strange scene on the eastern battlefield, or two scenes-
A Red Turban Army forced Weijiazhuang and fought with the Yuan soldiers;
A red turban army is faltering, hesitating one step at a time.
Red Turban Army, what happened?
This phenomenon was grasped by the Wei brothers in Weijiazhuang for the first time, and the two had different thoughts.
……
"Zhao Dashuai is here."
"Zhao Dashuai has come to see us."
"Why is Zhao Dashuai here, is there a new order from the imperial court?"
"This is Zhao Dashuai, who killed the king of Mongolian Zhennan, and he is really heroic."
In the discussion of the Red Turban Army soldiers, Zhao Jun drove straight into the Red Turban Army camp without any resistance, because even though the Red Turban Army soldiers in charge of guarding the camp had not seen Zhao Junyong, they had also heard of Zhao Jun's glorious example of slashing the southern king of Mengyuan Town with a formation.
What's more, before Zhao Jun used it, Zhao Jun's guards quickly broke into the camp to spread the word, and there was also an order to open the door and welcome guests in the camp.
The three-candle wolf smoke rising from Weijiazhuang made Mao Gui frown, but it only made him frown, but the appearance of Zhao Junyong made Mao Gui feel a sense of shock.
It stands to reason that this shouldn't be, because Zhao Junyong is his old boss, even if Zhao Junyong came to seize power this time, it shouldn't make him tremble......
After arranging contingency measures, Mao Gui led the officials in the camp to welcome Zhao Junyong.
Zhao Junyong came on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty, which was an official status;
Zhao Junyong was once the direct leader of the Shandong Red Turban Army, which was a private identity;
No matter which identity it is, Mao Gui can't be the slightest bit snub to Zhao Jun!
"Participate in the marshal."
In the distance, Mao Gui led his subordinates to bow to Zhao Jun with a line.
"Ahhh
Zhao Jun hurried two steps, jumped off the horse, picked up Mao Gui with both hands, and helped the others behind Mao Gui, by the way, he made a few painless jokes with acquaintances, and the unfamiliar people patted their shoulders a few times to show affection.
Laughing with him, Mao Gui was in a heavy mood on the side, Zhao Jun's aura was too heavy, in front of Zhao Junyong, Mao Gui always had a feeling that he couldn't raise his head-
On the one hand, Zhao Junyong is the head of the Red Turban Army, and his qualifications are too high;
On the other hand, Zhao Jun's record is too strong, and he slashed the king of Mengyuan Zhennan, which really puts a lot of pressure on people.
Your own family knows your own affairs.
Mao Gui knew that the reason why he was able to crisscross Shandong was because Shandong Mengyuan's troops were empty, and Mengyuan's attention was attracted by Liu Futong, Zhao Junyong and others, so he could crisscross one side in Shandong, but once he ......
Once Meng Yuan became serious, his first Northern Expedition came to an abrupt end, because if he didn't come back to help, Shandong would not be able to keep it!
★★★★★
In terms of personality, Zhao Junyong belongs to the kind that is more rigid and self-serving, or in other words, belongs to the kind of self-confidence that is particularly strong.
Seeing Zhao Jun flying straight forward with big strides, Mao Gui smiled bitterly in his heart, so he had to follow behind.
"Mao Shuai, do you have an inquiry below?"
Mao Gui was suddenly pulled by one of Zhao Jun's personal guards, and he was surprised, Mao Gui turned around, the sword was a personal guard with clear eyebrows and fair skin, not like a poor person, and wondered in his heart: "I don't know what happened to this brother?" ”
"In the seventeenth year of Zhizheng, the general broke Haizhou," this personal guard was not very old, but his eyes were very uncomfortable, cold without the slightest emotion, "and then crossed the sea from Haizhou to attack Shandong, but so?" ”
"Yes, it does." Mao Gui nodded, looked at the guard in surprise, and then looked at Zhao Junyong, who was striding forward, "But the handsome asked?" ”
"No, it's Qian who is more interested in this matter," Qian Guard shook his head, "This matter has nothing to do with Dashuai." ”
Zhao Junyong noticed the incident behind him, stopped and looked back: "Ah Gui, this Qian Hong was born in a scholarly family, and it is rare to know the national righteousness, and it is also a good story to write from Rong. ”
No wonder this guy is not from a poor background......
Mao Gui smiled: "I don't know what Qian Escort is interested in?" ”
"Qian wants to know," Qian Hong stared at Mao Gui, "how did Mao Shuai solve the problem of sea ships that day, and there are not a few sea ships needed for the cross-sea expedition to Shandong." ”
"There are many merchants in Haizhou who go to the sea," Mao Gui did not hide, "At that time, the matter was urgent, so all the sea ships in Haizhou were forcibly requisitioned, so that our army could break away from Haizhou and then go north to Shandong." ”
"Forced conscription?" Qian Hong's eyes widened, "Mao Shuai, we are teachers of benevolence and righteousness, how can we do such a thing of forcibly robbing the people's wealth?" ”
"If we can't jump out of Haizhou in time, we will be trapped in Haizhou by the Yuan soldiers," Mao Gui felt that this Qian Hong was really a scholarly anger, "Qian Guard, it is a matter of life and death for thousands of people, and it is a matter of resisting the Yuan, so we can't be merciful." ”
"So that's the case," Qian Hong arched his hand to Mao Gui, "Mao Shuai, I heard that when the sea ships were levied in Haizhou at that time, there was a ship in the East China Sea that did not obey the general's orders, which caused a very bad impact. ”
"That's right," Mao Gui's face also gloomy, "At that time, this East China Sea shipping company took the lead in disrespecting military orders, and wanted to sink the ship to disobey orders, this is Meng Yuan's spy, and we naturally want to kill the nine clans to get rid of future troubles." ”
The corners of Qian Hong's eyes twitched, he sighed, and bowed to Mao Gui again: "Mao Shuai, I'm sorry." ”
Mao Gui hurriedly reached out to hold up the Qian guard, and asked in surprise: "Qian guard, why are you doing this?" ”
"Mao Shuai, until now, Zhou Bin knows why his parents died......"
What the?
Mao Gui was shocked and wanted to retreat, but the distance between him and Zhou Bin was too close, and at the moment when he retreated, Zhou Bin stepped forward, made a mistake with both hands, pulled out two daggers from the left and right arm guards, and stabbed into Mao Gui's chest:
"If you don't avenge your family, you won't be a son of man, Mao Shuai, I'm sorry." (To be continued.) )
