Chapter 18 Entering the Journey
In the first battle of Ma Yuehe, Zhou Fugui was brave and loyal, and led people to counterattack the Xia army for the sake of the Great Yan Kingdom, and made great contributions, so he was promoted by the battalion general Murong Tengge to the escort team of the Kokang battalion, that is, the team general, who could lead ten to dozens of people.
In fact, where is Zhou Fugui who is brave and loyal and dedicated to the country? Everything Zhou Fugui did was for survival, all for his fellow villagers to continue to survive.
The knife and gun were already on his head, and Zhou Fugui had to fight.
Therefore, Zhou Fugui didn't care about this so-called team general at all, after Murong Tengge announced the order, Zhou Fugui said to him: "The big department, the small one has one thing to ask for, I don't know if I can agree?" ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Murong Tengge thought that Zhou Fugui wanted to ask for some money, cattle, sheep and horses and other rewards, so he looked at him with a smile and said.
"Can the ministry let those people go?" Zhou Fugui pondered for a moment, then pointed to the two hundred Xia people tied up by the river and asked.
The Xia army retreated, the Yan army pursued, killed a lot of Xia soldiers, and captured a lot, many of them were ordinary people of Xia, tied to the river at the moment to be beheaded, Zhou Fugui was extremely unbearable in his heart.
It's one thing in wartime, it's another thing after the war, Zhou Fugui went into battle to kill the enemy during the war, in order to survive, and the act of killing prisoners after the war, Zhou Fugui is really incomprehensible and can't do it.
"Don't!" Murong Tengge also refused after pondering for a moment.
"Don't you see that many of them are ordinary people? Even if it is Xia Jun, they have already been captured, so why should they be killed? Zhou Fugui was not convinced.
"The Southern Dynasty rebelled against the army, resisted the heavenly soldiers, should be beheaded, to set an example, in order to establish the prestige of my Great Yan Kingdom, you are a small general, dare to say more?" Before Murong Tengge could answer, the deputy general Mag Angluo scolded loudly.
That is, Murong Tengge appreciates Zhou Fugui, but Mag Angluo and others are extremely disapproving.
There are many Han people who have made military exploits, and at most they will be rewarded with some property, cattle and sheep, etc., but Murong Tengge directly promoted Zhou Fugui to general, which caused the dissatisfaction of Yan generals such as Mag Angluo.
Murong Tengge shook his head at Mag Angluo, signaled to stop talking, and said after walking in front of Zhou Fugui: "In the big war, there should be no kindness of women, if the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Dynasty are like these people in front of them, resisting the heavenly soldiers, wouldn't my Great Yan Kingdom be struggling?" ”
"The indiscriminate killing provoked the Xia army and people to resist desperately, but it will be difficult." Zhou Fugui is still unconvinced, and still wants to save these poor people.
"Huairen?" Murong Tengge shook his head and said: "It's not that my Great Yan Kingdom has not been benevolent, but they don't know what to do, and they are still resisting, so this time the imperial court issued an order to destroy Xia's resistance by thunderous means." ”
"Needless to say, just step aside." Murong Tengge saw that Zhou Fugui opened his mouth and wanted to speak, so he waved his hand and interrupted.
"Slash!"
Suddenly, Murong Tengge waved his hand and ordered, and the executioner in the Yan army waved a big knife and cut it down.
More than 200 human heads fell to the ground, and the blood formed streams that flowed into the Mayue River, dyeing the water of the Mayue River even more blood-red.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Fugui, the new team leader, looked at such a tragic situation, his heart was extremely sad and extremely contradictory, and he said to Xu Mancang, Pan Jiangui and others with great interest.
More than 200 living people died in front of Zhou Fugui's eyes, Zhou Fugui was of course extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and even extremely angry, but Zhou Fugui could only watch it, and there was nothing he could do.
People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, why is Zhou Fugui not the same as them? It's just a matter of time.
Killed the enemy before, I don't know if it's right or wrong, Zhou Fugui thought desolate in his heart, but when the Xia army killed, could it be that Zhou Fugui stretched his neck so that they couldn't cut it? At this time, Zhou Fugui was simply extremely contradictory.
Zhou Fugui already has the heart to escape, to escape from this hell on earth, out of sight and out of mind.
But if Zhou Fugui escapes, he will be a deserter, and Yan's punishment for deserting is extremely cruel, and it is a dead end if he is caught, and the death is extremely miserable, and it will also affect his family.
Zhou Fugui fell into an extreme contradiction again.
Xiaoqing pulled the sleeve of Zhou Fugui, who was full of melancholy, to show comfort.
...............
"Dare to ask Erlang, where should I go?"
Zhou Fugui is a general, his identity and status are already above his fellow villagers, and the blind man of Langzhong Wei in Luoyan Village, who is very good at seeing the wind and changing the rudder, has begun to use honorifics, instead of the nonsense of wealth and nobility.
Wei Blind is a Langzhong who treats cattle and horses, that is, a veterinarian, after being signed in the army, he became a Langzhong in the army, treating Zhou Fugui and others as cattle and horses...
At the same time, Wei's blind eyes are not good, and he often treats dead horses as live horse doctors...
Jiro? What about Erlang God? If I were Erlang God, I would release the Roaring Sky Dog and bite the wicked people in the world to death, Zhou Fugui muttered in his heart, glared at Wei Shuixing and said: "Just turn around, the time has come, just say something and do something." ”
After Zhou Fugui was escorted, Albugu ordered Zhou Fugui to lead people to explore the way, listen to the movements of the Xia army, and find a place to settle for the team, that is, to be the scout of the Kokang battalion.
Albugu had evil thoughts about Zhou Fugui, and of course handed over the most bitter and dangerous things to Zhou Fugui and others.
So a few days later, the Kokang battalion continued to march south, and Zhou Fugui led the scout team to explore the way.
"Where are you going?" Hearing this, Xu Mancang asked: "The scenery in the south is not bad, but it is still not as good as ours in the north." ”
"That's because you haven't seen the real scenery of Jiangnan, it's lonely." Pan said ghostly.
"Oh? The old ghost has been to Gangnam? Zhou Fugui asked when he heard this.
"Hehe, I haven't been there, I've heard my dad say it." Pan replied with a ghostly smile.
Having the ability is having the ability, and those who have the ability will be respected wherever they go, Pan Jiangui has always been sarcastic and sarcastic to others, and there is always yin and yang on a grimace, but at this moment, he actually greeted Zhou Fugui with a smile.
Winning tickets, making money, killing Hu people, detecting the Xia army's ambush in advance, fighting bravely, etc., and so on, can't help but be admirable. At the same time, everyone faintly felt that Zhou Fugui was really a blessed person, and the closer he was, the safer he seemed to be, such as Wu Changshuan liked to run with Li Hu, but he died unexpectedly.
"Oh, I see, I've seen it with my own eyes." Zhou Fugui nodded when he heard this.
"Seen it with your own eyes? Let's talk about it, what is Jiangnan like? Soda asked.
Xu Mancang and others played with Zhou Fugui to a big time, and they all wondered, when did Zhou Fugui from Luoyan Village, Luming Township, Youzhou go to Jiangnan?
"This Jiangnan..."Zhou Fugui turned his head and saw Xiaoqing listening to everyone attentively, so he smiled: "I almost forgot, although I have been to Jiangnan, but I am not a southerner, but an authentic northerner, there is an authentic Jiangnan water town here, Xiaoqing, do you say yes?" ”
Xiaoqing is a native of Qiantang, Jiangnan.
"I... I... I don't... I don't know. "In front of everyone's eyes, Xiaoqing doesn't want to talk like Zhou Fugui.
"The so-called scenery of the south of the Yangtze River..."Xiao Qingqing was shy, embarrassed to say, Zhou Fugui didn't force her, so he smiled: "Forget it, don't talk about it, you will have the opportunity to take a look for yourself in the future, isn't it?" ”
"Hey, rich." Blacksmith Yi Jisheng sighed when he heard this: "Do I still have the life to go to Jiangnan?" ”
The battle of the Yuema River, just this battle, lost many fellow villagers, that is, there are many fellow villagers who can neither go to Jiangnan nor return to Youzhou.
Poor and lost his life in a foreign land, and became a ghost in a foreign land.
Everyone nodded yes when they heard the words, and at the same time, they were also excited and sad.
"Besides, the army... Whether the army will be able to cross the river is not yet known! Li Qing said.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Fugui said angrily: "The mood that has finally become better has been destroyed by you, what are you talking about?" You all listen well, the others can't care, in this general's team, there is no loyalty, and there is no Dayan, just to save your life, to be able to return to your hometown is a victory. ”
Zhou Fugui's words are rebellious, but at this moment, Zhou Fugui is surrounded by fellow villagers or friends, so Zhou Fugui is bold and outspoken.
"That's what Jiro said." Zhou Fugui's heartfelt words made everyone nod yes.
"Flutter!"
At this moment, a dense bush not far ahead, suddenly startled a few birds, and the birds flew up from the bushes and flew into the distance.
"Someone!" Feng Cheng, a native of Jizhou, was an Orion, and immediately alerted.
When Dian Meng heard this, he raised a large shield and protected it in front of everyone.
Jizhou Banner will be killed in battle, most of the flag soldiers are also killed and wounded, Jizhou Banner is basically scattered, so the remnants of Jizhou Banner soldiers and horses are distributed to the Kokang Battalion Banner, Zhou Fugui took advantage of the situation to ask Dian Meng and his fellow villager Feng Cheng to come over.
"How can there be people in this wilderness? Maybe it's a beast. Xu Mancang muttered in a low voice.
"I've been fishing and hunting with my father since I was a child, can't I tell the difference between man and beast?" Hearing this, Feng Cheng turned his head to look at Xu Mancang and said angrily.
"What are you staring at? Am I wrong? Seeing this, Xu Mancang also crossed his waist, opened his bull's eyes, and glared at Feng Cheng.
"Hugh is going to scrape, raise your shield, watch out for the dark arrows!" Zhou Fugui commanded after knocking on the door of Xu Mancang's head.
After Zhou Fugui was promoted to the escort team, he asked for some shields, bows, guns, knives and other ordnance.
Zhou Fugui then pulled Xiaoqing behind him.
When the general gave the order, everyone raised their shields, swords and spears, and bows, staring closely at the jungle ahead.
Everyone waited for a while, but they didn't see any movement in the jungle, and no hidden arrows flew, so Zhou Fugui motioned to Xu Mancang, who had a loud voice, to shout.
Xu Mancang nodded, took two steps forward, and shouted empty-handed: "Which way is the demon and monster in the woods?" Or why the Birdman? Your Grandpa Xu is here, show up quickly, and fight with your Grandpa Xu for 300 rounds. ”
"Poof!" Zhou Fugui and the others couldn't cry or laugh, but Xiaoqing couldn't help laughing.
