Chapter Twenty-Six: Heroes Help Each Other

Report...... Report...... Qi Yu Lord, the leaders of each group flew pigeons to pass the book to report, all have safely left Xiliang and Northern Han, into the vast desolate land in the map, Uncle Li An, Sun Bao Protector, Zhang Ce Protector and other five groups have arrived in Dadu, Xun Gang came to report.

Wu Zhao said: Quickly reply to the leaders, speed up the city, and quickly converge in Dadu, we have delayed the trip, I am afraid that it will be difficult to arrive safely for a while, please Uncle Li An, Zhang Ce, Sun Bao and other five groups of leaders in Dadu to open up wasteland and plant bud rice, which has ensured that the food in the coming year is worry-free, Xun Gang received the order to go to the flying pigeon to reply.

Du Sisi said: Husband, eldest sister, second sister, walking a hundred miles is the Xiliang border, I waited for more than 3,600 people, all the way safe and sound, not normal.

Zhu Qiqi said: The third sister is right, we have made such a big move in the seven counties of the Tianshan Mountains, and our whereabouts have long been exposed, how can this Jinyiwei and the army of the Xiliang court let us go, only a hundred miles can cross the Xiliang country, I am worried that all the Jinyiwei and the army of the Xiliang country are ambushed in front.

Wu Zhao said loudly: Ordered everyone to camp on the spot, Qiqi led 2,000 people to set up a maze array to prevent the Jinyi guards from attacking, Xun Gang sent a hundred spies to explore the way in front of him, and reported the danger in a timely manner. Fang'er, you can arrange your life and cook, and I will rest here for a few days, so that the brothers can eat and drink well, nourish their spirits, and leave as soon as possible after finding out that the road ahead is safe.

In the evening, everyone ate and chatted in the big tent. Wu Zhao said: I don't know if the eldest brother, the sixth brother and the leaders of the Tianshan Mountains have been doing well in the past 20 days when they came with me?

Du Zhong said: The lord's martial arts are world-famous, heroic and extraordinary, and he is generous, and we are grateful, and the 2,400 people of the Tianshan faction have all accepted the lord's command, and we are sworn to follow.

Wu Zhao said: I, Wu Zhao, am not talented, but it seems that I have the blessing of cultivating in my previous life...... The lord of the lord with water instead of wine, a glass to you, if you can soar in the future, I will enjoy the same wealth, so everyone toasted a few glasses. On the day of the escape, although there was no wine, the bud rice and meat were also abundant, and everyone ate them with relish. At this moment, the key suddenly came. Enlighten the lord, and there are more unknown people outside to visit the lord.

Wu Zhao said: I have fled for my life here, and I have no relatives in Xiliang Country, how can anyone visit, do you see whether the person who came is Xiliang or Daxia?

The key said: The people who came were from Daxia, they seemed to be familiar, but they were not familiar with each other, and I saw them as friends rather than enemies.

Wu Zhao said: Please, set up a banquet to entertain. So eleven people came to bow and said: I waited for eleven people, led 8,000 people to camp 20 miles away, and wanted to defect to Wu Gongzi, hoping that Wu Gongzi would accept it, and we would like to follow him to the death and help Gongzi to help.

Wu Zhao was puzzled, and the person who came continued: In Xia Sun Deng, these ten are the top ten commanders under my account. We were originally Jinyiwei of the Great Xia Dynasty, and were ordered to set up an ambush on the border of Daxia to kill Wu Gongzi and others, and after the deputy commander of Jinyiwei made Jixiang to be killed by Wu Gongzi, we surrendered, thinking that Wu Gongzi would be killed, but I never thought that Wu Gongzi not only did not kill, but rewarded me and other 3,600 people with 30 yuan each, so that I could wait to settle down and start a business. After the son left, we had no relatives, fearing that Luo Jin would be killed, so everyone elected me Sun Deng as the leader, and decided to go north to Xun Xun to find the son after hiding in Tibet for more than a month. Recently, I heard that Gongzi and others are in the seven counties of the Tianshan Mountains, so I predicted that Gongzi would pass by here, so I led my department to camp twenty miles away from here, waiting for Gongzi to come.

Wu Zhao said: Everyone, please get up, give a seat, on the clear water, bud rice, wild boar, this clear water and light rice, everyone will take a moment, please ......, Sun Deng and others said: Thank you Gongzi, Gongzi, please three ladies, please .......

Wu Zhao continued: Thanks to Brother Sun Deng, Wu Zhao is grateful, you come to join today, I am like a tiger with wings, if you are rich in the future, you should be honored as guests, please accept my Wu Zhao.

So Wu Zhao took Wang Fang, Zhu Qiqi, and Du Sisi to Sun Deng and the others and bowed to Sun Deng and the others. Sun Deng hurriedly led everyone to kneel down and said: I am willing to wait for the lord, and I will not give up.

Wu Zhao said: Come on...... Everyone, please take a seat, and after introducing Xun Gang, Key, Fang Neng, Li Yu, Du Zhong, Du Qing and others, continue to say, Huang Tian blessed, I, Wu Zhao and others will not be destroyed, and now with the help of Brother Sun Deng and other 8,300 people, we will definitely be able to break through Xiliang and Xiliang, arrive in Dadu, and achieve great achievements. …… Come...... Come to ......, I have replaced the wine with water, and I toast you with three glasses, after a staggered meeting. Sun Deng said: The lord's intention is to leave Xiliang and go north to the bitter cold land to achieve great causes, this is a great plan for a thousand years, and we are willing to help the lord sweep away the land of the northern wilderness. But the top priority was to break through the Pingyang Pass on the Xiliang border and escape from the encirclement of the Jinyi Guard and the Xiliang army of the Great Xia Dynasty. After a few days of inquiry, we learned that tens of thousands of unknown people had been camped for several days in a land twenty miles north of our department. The Xiliang army has concentrated 20,000 troops in front of Pingyang Pass, set up an ambush, and wants to kill us in one fell swoop. The 20,000 masters of the Jinyi Guard of the Great Xia Dynasty gathered in the right half of Pingyang Pass, and they will rob and kill us after we go. Therefore, we need to plan carefully, reduce our injuries, and escape from the land of tigers and wolves as soon as possible.

Wu Zhao said: After I waited for Brother Sun Deng, I received more than 10,000 masters, which could not compete with the Xiliang army and the Great Xia Jinyi Guard, plus more than 10,000 people from unknown sources, if we fought hard, I might not be able to escape and ascend to heaven. Only by ascertaining the identities of unknown persons, bribing the Xiliang army, and defeating Jinyiwei can we win. I don't know what you think?

Everyone looked at each other, there was nothing to do, Wu Zhao said: Three ladies, wait for the camp early tomorrow morning, Xun Gang, Key, Fang Neng, Li Yu, Sun Deng obey the three ladies, Du Zhong and Du Qing's two uncles brought 100,000 yuan, and we will enter the customs to visit the governor of the Xiliang Army. Continue to eat and drink today, and tomorrow we will go our separate ways, and there shall be no mistake, come...... Come...... I salute you three more cups, although this water is a little lighter, but this wild boar meat tastes very good, everyone is happy to eat.

Early the next morning, Wu Zhao, Du Zhong, and Du Qing led ten masters to set off and went to Yangping Pass to visit the governor of the Xiliang Army. After walking for about fifteen miles, several people in front of him suddenly said:

Wu Gongzi is walking too slowly, the little woman has been waiting for half a month, and she is finally looking forward to you.

Wu Zhao said happily: Is the beauty king waiting for me Wu Zhao'er? Hahaha...... It's too coincidental, I don't know what happened to the White Peacock King?

The white peacock said: Your soldiers have married my 800 sisters, it has been more than two months, I miss it very much, come today to see how your brothers are doing, my 800 sisters' stomachs can react.

Wu Zhao said: The Peacock King is really good at laughing, you see that my face is flushed, and I am dissatisfied with you. The journey is tiring, my three ladies are not pregnant, and your eight hundred sisters may have some time.

Du Zhong said: In the lower Tianshan Sect Du Zhong, now under the tent of Wu Gongzi, to meet the white peacock king, the king's prestige is like thunder, today I can see it, and it really looks like a fairy.

The white peacock said: Du Daxia laughed, my white peacock looks like a fairy, but I still can't enter the eyes of Wu Gongzi, even if I marry him as a concubine, I can only be the fourth room, so I laughed.

Wu Zhao was silent for a moment, and said loudly: I don't know why the king came? If you look at your 800 sisters, why don't you tell the story in your account if you know that I am waiting for this?

The white peacock said: In this way, if Wu Gongzi doesn't give up, why don't you go to my account and tell it? So Wu Zhao, Du Zhong, Du Qing and others went to the camp with the white peacock.

Bai Peacock continued: Since you left Niangzi Pass, I have no Bai Xiuying, Bai Xiumei, Bai Xiuli, and Bai Xiuqi by my side, so I have to be with liquor and divine sword all day long, which is really empty. Therefore, I waited to set up camp here, waited for Wu Gongzi, wanted to go to Dadu with Gongzi, and asked Gongzi to take him in, so the white peacock knelt down and continued: I, the white peacock, am willing to be a cow and a horse for the lord, and a wife and a concubine, and die without regrets, please accept me and others.

Wu Zhao was taken aback, and hurriedly helped up the kneeling white peacock and said: The Peacock King looks up to me, it is the blessing of my Wu Zhao's previous life, and now I have the help of the Peacock King, and I Wu Zhao is grateful and disrespectful. So Wu Zhao wanted the white peacock to kneel, bowed three times and continued: I, Wu Zhao, swear to share life and death with the white peacock, and share weal and woe.

The white peacock helped Wu Zhao up and said: The lord, please get up, I want to marry my son as a concubine, I don't know if the son likes it? After speaking, Wu Zhao was shocked and at a loss, and then said: Sister Peacock is a heroic heroine, beautiful as a fairy, rare in the world, I am afraid that I Wu Zhao is not worthy, Sister Peacock should not deign to be noble.

The white peacock said: After the lord left the Niangzi Pass, my white peacock thought day and night, what I thought during the day, and what I dreamed at night was the voice and appearance of the lord. As long as my white peacock can accompany the lord on the right, even if it is a maid, please don't be a good wife and little girl, after speaking, the white peacock actually cried.

Wu Zhao comforted: With Sister Peacock on my side, I am fortunate to have three lives, you and praise me first, and the matter of marriage will be decided after I discuss it with the three ladies.

While talking, everyone came to the white peacock account, the white peacock called everyone to come, and said loudly: From now on, my white peacock led the crowd to Wu Zhao Gongzi, for the son's order to obey, if there is a violation, the sky thunders, everyone to see the lord...... So the people knelt down and said in a loud voice, "I will meet the lord, long live the lord, long live, long live...... Long live the lord, long live, long live.

Wu Zhao said: Sisters, please get up, please accept my Wu Zhao three bows, Yu Wu Zhao bowed to everyone three times and said, from today on, we are our own people, please sisters continue to unite as one, hard work and enterprising, we are blessed and enjoy the same hardship, everyone is snoring again...... Long live the lord, long live, long live.

In the camp hall, the white peacock said: When the lord and others left Niangzi Pass, I and the sisters had the idea of going with you, but I couldn't make up my mind for a while, a month ago, I finally made up my mind, took all the money, food, materials and the people of Niangziguan, and chased all the way, if it wasn't for the lord and others to delay in the Tianshan Mountain, I am afraid I will not be able to catch up.

Wu Zhao said: In this way, Sister Peacock brought the remaining 5,000 sisters and most of the people from the Niangzi Prison.

The white peacock said: Exactly, 5,000 sisters, 10,000 people, a total of 10,000 Oh, of which 10,000 can go on the field to kill the enemy, I have been well trained, 5,000 for the old and young, women and children.

Wu Zhao said: "In this way, you and the leader of the sisters will go back to my camp with me tomorrow to discuss matters, and leave this land of tigers and wolves in Xiliang as soon as possible."

That night, Wu Zhao, Du Zhong, Du Qing and others rested in the white peacock tent.

Early the next morning, Wu Zhao, Du Zhong, Du Qing, Bai Peacock and others came, everyone gathered together to discuss the matter, the white peacock and Bai Xiuying, Bai Xiumei, Bai Xiuli, Bai Xiuqi hugged tightly, excited to tears, the rest of the eight hundred sisters heard that the white peacock was here and was also happy to cheer. The crowd cheered for a long time.

Wu Zhao said: Okay...... All right...... Sisters, now the white peacock king joins me and others, we will go to Dadu together, now we are a family, we will talk together every day in the future, some are kung fu chatter, you can sit down quickly, I will discuss it. After everyone was seated, Wu Zhao instructed his subordinates to serve a meal, and talked while eating.

Wu Zhao said: Now, 8,300 people from Brother Sun Deng, 15,000 people from the White Peacock King have joined, and we and our party can recruit 21,000 good fighters, 5,000 old and young women and children, if the command is right, they can compete with the 20,000 army of the Governor of Pingguan in Liangyang, Naxi and the 20,000 masters of Jinyi Wei of the Great Xia Dynasty. Therefore, the lord ordered that 21,000 people be under the unified command of the lord, and the headquarters of the people, Sun Deng's brother 8,300 men and horses, and the white peacock king's 10,000 horses and horses were in chaos, and re-arranged, Du Zhong, Du Qing, Key, Fang Neng, Li Yu, Sun Deng, Xun Gang, 3,000 masters of each generation, the three ladies and the white peacock king assisted the lord in the unified command, starting early tomorrow morning, the three camps were combined into one, and after the arrangement was settled, they discussed an alliance with Xiliang to kill Jinyiwei. From today onwards, the three people will become one family, regardless of each other, you and me, and everyone will work together to tide over the difficulties together.

After speaking, everyone said in unison: We are only obedient to the orders of the lord, long live the lord, long live the lord. Du Zhong knew the meaning of the white peacock, and also understood that the addition of the white peacock had strengthened the strength of the group, so he stepped forward and said.

There is a subordinate who does not vomit and is unhappy, this white peacock king is deeply righteous, and beautiful as a flower, like a fairy in the Tianshan Mountains, if you can assist the three ladies to assist the lord, it should be the luck of the lord, the luck of the three ladies, and the luck of everyone I am. So the old man proposed that the lord accept the white peacock king as a concubine, and the three ladies together to assist the lord to achieve a great cause, if the three ladies and the lord feel that it is feasible, then the old man will ask a few people for a bowl of water to drink in the future, if he thinks it is not good, he will be the old man talking nonsense, so Du Zhong retreated, Wu Zhao and others did not know what to do, they looked left and right, the white peacock was flushed, and did not dare to look at Wang Fang and others.

Sun Deng said: The last general thinks that what the leader of Du Zhong said is very true, and he hopes that the lord will adopt it, and he hopes that the three ladies will be fulfilled. At this moment, Xun Gang, Key, Fang Neng, Li Yu, Du Zhong, Du Qing, Bai Xiuying, Bai Xiumei, Bai Xiuli, Bai Xiuqi and others said in unison, "I hope the lord will adopt it, and I hope the three ladies will be fulfilled." Wu Zhao didn't dare to speak, and the white peacock wanted to escape.

When the white peacock turned around and wanted to leave, Wang Fang grabbed the white peacock and said: What if it's not the peacock's sister? At this time, it was extremely quiet, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the white peacock, and then waited for her to speak. But the white peacock's face was flushed, and he frowned and said no more.

At this moment, Wang Fang said: Sister White Peacock agreed, so it was decided, it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, I will be the master, the white peacock will marry Wu Zhao, and enter the cave room for a while. Wu Zhao stood up and wanted to say something, but was about to speak when Wang Fang stopped him and said: Sister Peacock is deeply affectionate, and the husband must not mislead people for a lifetime, and he needs to treat Sister Peacock well. From now on, our four brothers-in-law will work together to teach each other and help our husbands achieve great things,...... Come...... Come...... I took my husband and three sisters to toast everyone with three cups of ..........

After the dinner, Wu Zhao and Bai Peacock became husband and wife, and the family of five died in the world, but the family was harmonious.

Early the next morning, Wu Zhao and Bai Peacock were still asleep, Wang Fang, Zhu Qiqi, and Du Sisi had already gotten up early in the morning, Du Sisi had prepared lunch, and the two of them had eaten together after getting up.

Report ......, the lord of Qiyu, the four wives, and the uncle Li An Feige came to report, after the Wu Gong brothers gathered five thousand masters to fight out of the siege, now they are camped outside Yangping Pass, and now Feige comes to report, and wants to agree with the Lord to attack the army of the governor of Yangping Pass on the first day of the first month of May, and attack him inside and outside, and take him off guard, help us and others to escape, please make a decision, Xun Gang said.

Wu Zhao said: Swift flying pigeon passed the reply that at noon on the first day of the fifth month, I waited for 21,000 masters to attack the army of the governor of Yangping Pass, and asked three Wu power 5,000 masters to answer, Xun Gang received the order to go.

Report ......, the lord of Qiqi, Zhou Zhou, the leader of the Hancheng Righteous Army of Xiliang State, and his second brother Zhou Chang and third brother Zhou Hai led 30,000 young and strong refugees in Xiliang Country to revolt, defeated and fled, now thirty miles away from my account, hunger and cold have been three days, yesterday our spies passed by, very pitiful, can you help and help, Li Yu reported.

Wu Zhao said: If the common people have something to eat, it will not be like this, why don't we wait to be hunted down, the Xiliang Dynasty is my enemy, then his enemy is our friend, pass on my order, Li Yu, the key rate of 500 people will send a thousand quintals of bud rice, a thousand catties of wild boar meat to Zhou Zhou's big account, in order to solve the urgent need.

In Zhou Zhou's big account, everyone was hungry and cold, and when Li Yu and the key sent buds and wild boar, Zhou Zhou was overjoyed and took everyone to bow to the two. Li Yu said: My lord is encamped in 20 miles, has the virtue of a good life, is loyal, likes to make friends with the heroes of the world, and now the hero is in trouble, my lord ordered the two of us to come and give away a thousand quintals of bud rice and a thousand catties of wild boar meat to solve everyone's urgent needs.

Zhou Zhou was overjoyed, bowed three times and knocked nine times here, and thanked Dade and said: I, Zhou Zhou, led my second brother Zhou Chang, and my third brother Zhou Hai led 10,000 young refugees and 12,000 people to defect to Wu Gongzi, and I am willing to swear allegiance to the death. So Li Yu and Key took Zhou Zhou, Zhou Chang, and Zhou to meet Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao said: I Wu Zhao has no ambitions, and now I am also dying in the world, and the day is not safe, the three of us follow me Wu Zhao'er, I am afraid that there is no good future, you should go back and make another plan.

Zhou Zhou said: I Zhou Zhou is clumsy, but Guan Wu Gongzi is very human, and now I saved my three brothers and 10,000 young people, my life is Wu Gongzi's life, I am willing to swear allegiance to Wu Gongzi, and ask Wu Gongzi to take me in.

Wu Zhao said: I have no place to hide in Xiliang, and if I want to go north to the bitter cold land of the capital, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to my homeland in this life, so you can think about it.

Zhou Zhou said: The Xiliang court has no way, careless of people's lives, regardless of the lives of the people, although we can only rise up, and now we are being chased and killed by the court, and there is no place to hide.

Wu Zhao said: Okay, since you don't dislike it, then the three of you will be one of the top ten leaders under my account, and divide the 10,000 young and strong people into four teams, and the second class will each bring a team, all of which are 3,000 people, and the remaining 1,000 people will be led by the lord himself. After you go back, you will quickly bring the people and horses, and rearrange them with our people, and in the future, training, food, etc., will be with each other and our other parts, regardless of you and me, only the orders of the lord are obeyed, how!

Zhou Zhou, Zhou Chang, and Zhou Hai hurriedly knelt down and said: We will receive the order, but the order of the lord will follow, long live the lord, long live the lord, long live, long live, so the three of them took the lead and went forward.

After everyone left, Wu Zhao began to tease his four wives to get up, and said: I knew this was the case, I didn't have to get up early, Peacock, why don't we go to sleep again.

The white peacock bowed his head shyly and was silent, Wang Fang, Zhu Qiqi, and Du Sisi rolled their eyes, Wu Zhao knew that the other three were jealous, so he pulled the three ladies up and said: Okay, okay, don't be angry, everyone has a share, Fang'er, you come first, you wait, so Wu Zhao pulled Wang Fang and walked out.
