Chapter 61: The Bleak Spring Rain
On the road leading from Danyang to Guangling County, a team of Xia Jun and a team of pretending to be Xia Jun walked quietly on the road, and what is surprising is that both sides have recognized each other's identities, but they are safe.
I have to say that this is a spectacle in this cruel war, or a beautiful scenery.
"Why save me?"
Captain Min Wuyan of Xia Wumeng rode on a white horse with the head of the Yanmen Pavilion, and Zhou Fugui, the general of the White Tiger Battalion of the Yan Army, and rode together, Min Wuyan glanced at Zhou Fugui, and suddenly asked.
"You're handsome!" Zhou Fugui said with a smile.
When Min Wuyan heard this, his handsome face immediately darkened.
Could it be that he has a dragon yang fetish? Min Wuyan secretly said in his heart.
"Zhou is just joking, why did the general pull down this face?" Seeing this, Zhou Fugui hurriedly said: "The general is a brilliant man, so he died in the wilderness, wouldn't it be a pity?" ”
"Is that true?" Min Wuyan asked when he heard this.
Zhou Fugui nodded.
This was indeed Zhou Fugui's idea at that time, and he had no other intentions.
"You shouldn't have saved me." Min Wuyan sighed after being stunned for a moment.
Min Wuyan led his troops to chase and kill the defeated army of the Yan army, and just saved a group of Xia troops who were left in the mountain col, and asked the commander of the ambush of the Ming Yan army to be an old acquaintance Zhou Fugui, and he immediately didn't know what to do.
In the battle of the Leaping Horse River, Min Wuyan was seriously injured after fighting, but was rescued by Zhou Fugui and recuperated in Longtan Temple.
Min Wuyan is the general of the Xia army, and Zhou Fugui is the general of the Yan army, the two sides are on the same page, and they regard each other as enemies, but Zhou Fugui saved Min Wuyan, and Min Wuyan doesn't know whether to be grateful to him or continue to be his enemy?
From the perspective of the general righteousness of the country, Min Wuyan should abandon his personal kindness and righteousness, but at this moment, Min Wuyan can't hate Zhou Fugui, let alone fight with him.
And what touched Min Wuyan the most was that he scolded Zhou Fugui at the beginning, but Zhou Fugui not only didn't care at all, but also came to the rescue.
"I saved it, but what should I say or shouldn't I say?" Zhou Fugui shook his head and said.
"Hmm..."Min Wuyan nodded when he heard this: "The grace of dripping water, when the spring is reciprocated, let alone the grace of saving lives?" But Min couldn't repay him. Not only that, Hu Lu is tyrannical, invades my homeland, kills my people, destroys my ancestral hall, and my Xia men are all cracked in the crown, so Min will continue to be your enemy in the future, fight to the death with you, and never die! ”
"Fight to the death with me, never die?" Zhou Fugui was stunned when he heard this: "Do you think I look like a Hulu?" ”
"Hmph, what do you say?" Min Wuyan snorted when he heard this, and said: "For the Han thief, it is even more hateful!" ”
"You are a newcomer who has married the door, and the matchmaker has thrown over the wall, but it is a favor and revenge!" Zhou Fugui was furious when he heard this: "Do you think I am willing to be this thief? Not forced yet? People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, what can I do? ”
"A stone can be broken, but it cannot be taken away; Dan can grind also, but not red! Min Wuyan snorted coldly: "People with lofty ideals are benevolent, they don't seek to survive to harm benevolence, they kill to become benevolent, they are just greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are just stooping to do things." ”
"I'll go to your uncle's murder and stoop to do something..."Zhou Fugui scolded after hearing this: "What can I do if I don't bend to do things?" Could it be that for the sake of these so-called killings, we can't wait to die? ”
"If you die, you will die, and what is there to fear? Wouldn't it be nice to die and leave a name in history? Min Wuyan snorted coldly again.
"Okay, okay, what you said is reasonable, I should die, and then leave my name in history?" Zhou Fugui said angrily: "But after I die, what will happen to my family?" I am happy to die, but my family will suffer endless pain and suffering. ”
"Do you have family?" Min Wuyan asked when he heard this.
"Nonsense, it didn't jump out of the cracks in the stones, Zhou's family has an old mother, an eldest brother, an eldest sister-in-law, and a little sister, hey, General Min, if Zhou does not bend to the thief, his family will be implicated, this is a helpless move!" Zhou Fugui sighed.
"Well, Zhou Fugui, right? Zhou Fugui, why don't you abandon the darkness and turn to the light today? Min Wuyan felt that Zhou Fugui was not an incorrigible person, so he persuaded him: "Wouldn't it be a good thing if you could abandon the darkness and turn to the light and resist Hu Lu with righteousness?" People in the world will definitely admire you in every way, and your name of wealth and wealth will also be famous all over the world. ”
"You're talking nonsense again, aren't you?" Zhou Fugui glared at Min Wuyan and said, "You can guarantee the safety of me and my brothers, as well as their families, and I will lead the army to surrender you, what?" Do you have what it takes? If not, don't talk about it. ”
"Min is a school captain, he doesn't have such a big ability!" Min Wuyan also glared at Zhou Fugui and said, "It seems that Min is destined to be your enemy." ”
It turned out to be just a school captain? made such a big show, thinking that you were really a general, Zhou Fugui muttered in his heart when he heard this, and said: "Zhou doesn't want to be your enemy, but you want to come to the door, then Zhou can only come to the army, and the water will cover it." ”
While the two were talking, they came to a fork in the road.
"Is it an enemy today?" Zhou Fugui asked Min Wuyan.
"Today's events, Min just didn't see it, and he will see it on the battlefield in the future." Min Wuyan replied.
"Okay, send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end!" Zhou Fugui said when he heard this: "Zhou will leave, and General Min doesn't have to send it far." ”
After Min Wuyan was stunned for a moment, he suddenly turned over and dismounted, kneeling on one knee in front of Zhou Fugui.
"Huh? General Min, what are you doing? Zhou Fugui hurriedly dismounted and helped Min Wuyan up and asked.
"This is to thank you for saving your life, saving your life, and you can only repay it in the next life." Min Wuyan stood up straight and said coldly: "In this life and this life, when we meet on the battlefield, Min will never show mercy to his subordinates again." ”
"Well said, well said." Zhou Fugui smiled when he heard this; "It is not yet known who killed the deer! General Min, take care, Zhou will take his leave. ”
"Take care!" Min Wuyan also bowed his hand.
The two "say goodbye", I don't know, I think it's a pair of friends who have irreversible friends and are like siblings saying goodbye.
Rich brother, take care! Min Wuyan looked at Zhou Fugui, who was leading the army away, and said secretly in his heart.
This is the first time that Min Wuyan does not want to fight with Hu Lu and his servants at this time, and Min Wuyan does not want to fight with Zhou Fugui at this time, and another important reason is that Zhou Fugui can treat the Xia army prisoners of war well, except for killing some people who resisted, the rest of the people survived, which is extremely rare in the vendetta war between Yan and Xia.
Fortunately, Hong Wuji is not by his side, otherwise with the hatred between him and Zhou Fugui, there will definitely be a fish to death.
Hong Wuji has other business, not by Min Wuyan's side.
Could such a person be the murderer of Danyangzhuang? Min Wuyan was puzzled in his heart.
...............
Good rain knows the season, when spring happens. Dive into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently. The wild trails are dark, and the river boats are bright. Xiao looks at the red wet place, and the flowers are heavy in the official city.
The spring rain is like silk, dripping, fine and dense, moisturizing all things on the earth, the spring rain washes away the remnants of winter, all things gradually wake up under the blowing of the spring breeze and spring rain, the spring rain is as expensive as oil, moisturizing the crops, indicating the harvest of autumn.
But the spring rain is like oil, the farmer likes it to be moist, but the pedestrians hate it muddy. The spring rain of Yan Yongping's five years and Xia Yuanjia's three years is also extremely bleak for Yan.
"The Battle of Niuzhu", the Yan army was defeated, a thousand miles of collapse, more than 600,000 troops fled back only more than 100,000 people, the rest of the people died or surrendered, or fled into the deep mountains and old forests, or ran away, ran away and did not know where to go. And the more than 100,000 people who fled back also almost all lost their armor, lost their souls and walked in the spring rain, walking in the muddy road, because of the lack of food and clothing, many people fell to the side of the road while walking, and no one paid attention, the faces of the living people were numb, like walking corpses continue to walk, along the way, the scene is like purgatory on earth.
This is also the worst defeat of the Great Yan State since its founding, the loss of troops and generals, a thousand miles of defeat, all the way to the north defeated and fled, abandoned countless land, grain, grass, ordnance, horses, etc.
"Yunu, don't look, look at my brother."
Zhou Fugui's White Tiger Battalion is the most well-preserved Yan army, and almost all of the 3,000 soldiers and horses have fled back, but on the march, it is also extremely difficult, especially the White Tiger Battalion is also short of food and clothing.
Three thousand people and horses, the daily need of grain and grass is an astronomical amount, and the grain and grass carried by Zhou Fugui and others with the army are almost exhausted, and the grain and grass are almost exhausted, but they cannot be replenished, so it is also extremely difficult.
After years of war, the most scarce thing is food, whether it is the army or ordinary people.
War horses or people walk on the muddy road, and if they step on it, it may be soft, or it may be stepping on the Yan army that died in the mud.
Such a terrifying situation made Zhou Fugui press the little face of the jade slave in his arms, so that she could not see this scene like hell on earth.
When Guangling County, Zhou Fugui handed over the thousands of Xia people he saved to Tang Qingsi, but Xiao Yunu always took it with him, the reason is that Zhou Fugui didn't know what the result of those Xia people was, and Xiao Yunu was so small, mixed with a group of Xia people, the result can be imagined, the chance of survival is very small, it can be said that it is extremely slim, and leaving her to other Xia people, the result is not much better.
Therefore, Zhou Fugui was determined to protect her personally and even raise her.
"Yes, big brother." Although Xiao Yunu is young, he is extremely sensible and well-behaved, and he hid his little face in Zhou Fugui's arms, feeling that in this world, the safest place is Zhou Fugui's arms, and the most credible person is also Zhou Fugui.
