Chapter 40: Huang Gang

But this scene, he obviously expected it a long time ago.

His face was as usual, just watching Guo Tianxu's performance.

Guo Tianxu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and didn't speak for a long time, and asked, "Brother Yuanzhang, what do you want?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled calmly and said, "Let's think about it, when Sun Deya was unlucky, he was also assigned to Huanggang." Now Guo Dashuai regards us like Sun Deya, and he wants to drive us out of Haozhou City. ”

Guo Tianxu suddenly said helplessly: "Brother Yuanzhang's misunderstanding is too big, there are many soldiers and little food in this Haozhou city, someone must be stationed in the army, is it.... Your lieutenant marshal doesn't want to go, do you still call me the boss? ”

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "No need. ”

"Obey the command."

"However, before leaving, I have to make the meaning of the handsome and the brothers clear."

Speaking of which, Zhu Yuanzhang's mind has been revealed.

He just wanted to take this opportunity to tell everyone that it was not that he Zhu Yuanzhang was ungrateful, but that Guo Tianxu couldn't tolerate him.

"Farewell!"

Zhu Yuanzhang gave up his hand and turned to leave.

Most of the generals present also immediately turned around and left with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Guo Tianxu seemed to have thought of something, and when he wanted to say more, Zhu Yuanzhang had already left.

Guo Tianxu's face in the hall was not very good-looking.

He knew very well that although he succeeded in his plan, this indecent reputation had really fallen.

It's a dark loss.

However, thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang finally left Haozhou City, he had to swallow this breath.

Of course, you can't help it if you don't swallow it.

As Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the hall of the Shuaifu, Xu Da and the others behind him said, "Big brother, I'll go gather the soldiers." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Half an hour later.

The gate of Haozhou City.

Zhu Yuanzhang wore battle armor and rode a horse at the forefront, and behind him were thousands of generals.

After that, it was Zhu Yuanzhang's 5,000 elite soldiers.

Although the number of people is small, they are basically the soldiers brought out by Zhu Yuanzhang at the beginning.

Although Xu Datang and the others are still angry, now that the matter has come to this, it is not easy for them to say anything in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, if you go to Zhu Yuanzhang to talk about this at this time, isn't that just looking for scolding.

Xu Da, who had nowhere to vent, sneaked to the back of the team and came to Ma Xiuying's sedan chair.

Looking at Qi Heng, who was driving the horse, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Qi, look, what is going on." The city we defended is now Guo Tianxu's. ”

Xu Da knew that Ma Xiuying had always had a good temper, even if he knew that she was in the carriage, he didn't care.

But Qi Heng said: "Let's hurry up, after all, it is Guo Shuai's son, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have both received Guo Shuai's kindness, and now giving them Haozhou City can be regarded as repaying this kindness." ”

When Xu Da heard Qi Heng's words, although he was still a little indignant, he didn't say anything anymore.

It's just a pity for this great Haozhou City.

"Alas, if you want to see this city again in the future, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."

Huang Gang.

Unlike Haozhou City, this is just a small town that is not even a county seat.

Although there are also people and city walls, compared with Haozhou City, it is really not on the table.

After about an hour or so, the army came slowly, and finally saw Huanggang.

It's just that, from a distance, this Huanggang is desolate.

The gates were wide open, but there were no pedestrians, and the leaves were scattered all over the ground, like a dead city.

At this time, Qi Heng and Zhu Yuanzhang went hand in hand, walking at the forefront of the team, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "This Huanggang is really down, no wonder Sun Deya said that he would return to Haozhou City." ”

So saying, they set foot into the city.

But as soon as they entered the city, they were startled by the scene in front of them.

On both sides of the street, there were scrawny people, lying on the ground like dead bodies.

Most of these people are old and weak, but there is no shortage of young people, but these young people have also become inhuman in hunger, and now it is autumn, the weather is getting cooler, but there are only a few rags on their bodies fluttering in the wind.

This scene reminded Qi Heng of the dried corpse in the tomb robbery film and television drama.

Around the corner, a four- or five-year-old girl leaned on her grandmother's arms.

The dust on her face couldn't hide the pitiful eyes of the girl.

Just as the army was passing by the side of the road expressionlessly, Qi Heng suddenly turned over and dismounted, came to the side of the girl, bent down to talk to the girl, turned his head to look at the grandmother beside her, but found that the old man had his mouth slightly open, and he was already out of breath.

Qi Heng, who saw this scene, was also taken aback.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Qi Heng squeezed out a smile and said to the little girl: "Girl, do you still have relatives?" ”

The girl looked at Qi Heng, originally a little scared, but when she heard Qi Heng's inquiry, she shook her head in fear.

Qi Heng stretched out his hand and slowly approached the girl, and then rubbed her messy hair in the girl's frightened expression.

Then he put his hand into his chest, took out a white bun, and handed it to the girl: "Eat." ”

The girl was scared and didn't dare to take it, but she couldn't resist the temptation of the white-faced bun, and stretched out her hand tremblingly.

Seeing the girl's panicked appearance, and then looking back at the army that was still waiting for him, Qi Heng said to Zhu Yuanzhang on the horse: "Superior, you go first, I'll be back in a while." ”

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and led the army to leave first.

As the army continued to penetrate into the city, the homeless people at the city gate who were still afraid of the soldiers swallowed deeply as they looked at the white-faced bun in the girl's hand.

There is not one, but dozens of such people.

It's like a pack of hungry wolves, carried away by the hunger in their hearts.

Just now because of the presence of the army, they didn't dare to do anything, but now when they saw that the army had left, and only a delicate young man was left, they all mustered up their courage and walked towards Qi Heng.

When Qi Heng was not paying attention, a dirty arm suddenly passed behind him, grabbed the white-faced bun in the girl's hand and ran.

The girl who had only eaten a few bites saw that the bun was snatched away, and immediately cried aggrievedly.

Qi Heng hurriedly rubbed her little head, took out a bun from his arms again, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, my brother still has it here." ”

The girl who got a steamed bun again stopped crying, gobbled up with red eyes, rolled her little eyes, and looked at the people around her, for fear that her food would be snatched away again.

At the same time, Qi Heng also noticed the eyes of these people around him, like red-eyed wolves.

Then he opened his mouth and said: "Since Dashuai is here, I won't let you starve to death anymore, and after I go back for a while, I will propose to Dashuai to open a porridge shed, and you can all have a bite of food, but if you dare to grab it again, don't blame me for being polite." ”

As he spoke, Qi Heng slowly pulled out the long sword from the scabbard on his waist and slammed it into the ground beside him.
