Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi came to pick up Wang Wu in person.

Because the two old commanders were too eager to see this lone army returning to help, but they were able to defeat the Qing army one after another, and they also beheaded the young man of Du Min, the deputy capital of Manchuria.

After learning from Liu Heng, the son of Liu Tichun, that his father was martyred, the two old men, who were more than 100 years old together, couldn't help but hide their faces and weep bitterly.

Isn't it sad?

Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Gu Kecheng, He Jin, Zhang Ding, Liu Xiyao, Xin Sizhong, Li Guo, Gao Yigong

In the 20 years of anti-Qing struggle, almost all of the generals of the old battalion died on the battlefield of resistance against the Qing Dynasty, except for Ma Tengyun, Dang Shousu, and Ta Tianbao, who had recently surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Now there are only Yuan Zongdi, Hao Shaoqi, and Li Guoyi's son Li Laiheng still sticking to the last banner of resistance to the Qing Dynasty.

The wind and rain are shaking, the family and the country are all dead, the road is at the end of the road, and the brothers are dead

Ren is the two old handsomes who are like iron, and they can't help but burst into tears.

I am not only sad for my deceased comrades, but also confused about the road ahead.

They have been stuck on the Yellow Lawn for two months.

Not on the initiative, but forced.

Because, they couldn't break through the blockade line of the Huguang Qing army in front of them.

In despair, Wang Wu, who was born out of thin air and defeated the Qing army one after another, gave hope to the two old marshals.

Here and now, they need victory more than anyone else!

It also needs to be joined by a new force.

Hong Yuao, a seriously ill supervisor of the army, heard that the Qing army on the Western Front had been defeated, and one of the deputy commanders of the Tartars had been killed, so he excitedly ignored the dissuasion of his entourage and came to the outdoors in clothes, and he had to go with everyone to pick up the soldiers on the Western Front.

If it weren't for Yuan Zongdi's repeated persuasion, I am afraid that this Hong Buyuan, who has to be helped when walking, would really be able to pick up people regardless of his illness.

King Han and King Andong were also very excited after hearing that the battle had been won on the Western Front, and Pan Yinglong, the eunuch of the supervising army, burned incense and prayed for joy, begging God not to cut off the 297 years of the Ming Dynasty.

With everyone's entrustment, Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi personally came to meet the officers and soldiers of the Western Front.

Although it is regrettable that Liu Erhu was martyred by hanging, it is also a fate, no wonder who is.

Fortunately, Liu Erhu and his children burst out, otherwise they would be really heroic, and there would be no descendants.

Seeing a blood-red banner appear from the forest from a distance, followed by countless soldiers with big swords in their hands, the two old commanders who had been waiting for more than half an hour couldn't help but be moved

"The last general, Wang Wu, see Yuan Shuai and Hao Shuai!"

Under the leadership of Liu Heng, the son of Liu Tichun, Wang Wu met Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi, who were as famous as Li Laiheng and Liu Tichun.

The image of the two is very distinct.

Yuan Zong had his first white hair and looked to be almost sixty years old.

Hao Shaoqi grew a beard like Zhang Fei, looking less than forty.

In fact, Yuan Zongdi is only 48 years old this year, while Hao Shaoqi is 55 years old.

The reason why the young Yuan Zongdi looked older was because when the news of Li Zicheng's death came, he was so anxious that he had gray hair overnight.

Hao Shaoqi looks young, which is related to his burly figure and extraordinary energy.

The name "Waving the Flag" comes from the fact that he was the standard-bearer in the army.

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty once gave Hao Shaoqi the name "Yongzhong", but the generals of the old Shun army still liked to call him Hao Shaoqi.

"Good boy!"

Without waiting for Wang Wu to salute, Yuan Zongdi, who was on the horse, had already turned over and dismounted, supported Wang Wu, who was kneeling on one knee, and helped Wang Wu up.

After carefully looking at Wang Wuhou, Yuan Zongdi turned his head and smiled at Hao Shaoqi, who had already dismounted: "See, this kid looks much more handsome than us." ”

"More handsome than you, I don't see our handsome, our old Hao was a famous handsome descendant of ten miles and eight towns!"

Hao Shaoqi, who was like an iron tower, stepped forward and slapped Wang Wu on the shoulder.

To the surprise of the old handsome, the young Wang Wu did not move.

This made Hao Shaoqi like it even more, and couldn't help but praise: "Good look, a man must have a skill, otherwise he will be able to cut the tartar!" ”

Although Wang Wu's face did not change, he was also bitter in his heart, because he was really standing here now.

If he hadn't stiffened up just now, he might have made a fool of himself.

was about to inform the two old commanders of the situation on the Western Front, but Yuan Zongdi grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, I'll talk about the big thing when I go back!" ”

Wang Wu immediately nodded, and asked Tian Wen, Zhang Tianwang and others to lead the team to follow the people to the Yellow Lawn.

He took the mute and the blind man and others to go first with the two old marshals.

There were several captured horses in his ranks.

Although the equestrian skills are not proficient, it is still possible to ride short distances.

Seeing that Wang Wu could also ride a horse, Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi were also impressed.

The famous "Three Walls" cavalry of the Lao Shun Army, Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi have brought it.

About two pillars of incense, Wang Wu followed Yuan and Hao to the Yellow Lawn.

This place was originally supposed to be a village inhabited by local people, and the scale was not large, so many of Yuan and Hao's subordinates lived in shacks built by logging nearby.

The environment must be dirty and messy.

Even the same is true of Lao Mugang's side.

There is no way, the Ming army can't even guarantee clothes and food, and where can they take care of the living environment.

When I arrived at the gate of Dezhai, I saw a group of people waiting.

Wang Wu didn't know who it was, but he thought that Zhu Jingli, the king of Han, and Zhu Shenglang, the king of Anton, might be among them.

Emperor Dingwu, who has been puzzled by him, needs to confirm with Yuan Zongdi when he goes back.

Dismounted at the Zhaimen, Yuan Zongdi motioned for Wang Wu to follow him.

Wang Wu saw that there were his subordinates Zhao Jinzhong and Ma Changyuan in the crowd, and he also saw Liu Tichun's daughter Liu Yun, but he didn't know the three important people standing in the middle.

Because, these three important people did not wear official uniforms to show their identities, they were all wearing civilian clothes.

One of them gave Wang Wu a more look.

This man has no beard on his face, and he is a little out of place with the people around him.

Thinking of what Ma Changyuan said, Wang Wu couldn't help but suspect that this was Pan Yinglong, the eunuch of the Yongli faction in Haobu.

Just when he was wondering if it was, Yuan Zongdi had already introduced him to him.

The three important people who were surrounded by everyone were really Zhu Jingli, the king of Han, Zhu Shenglang, the king of Andong, and Pan Yinglong, the eunuch of the prison army.

Wang Wu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Excuse me!"

Zhu Jingli, the king of Han who was nearly forty years old, looked Wang Wu up and down with a smile on his face, and Zhu Shenglang, the king of Anton on the side, also looked at Wang Wu cordially.

The last clan in the two Ming armies didn't have any shelf, and they looked like two middle-aged Confucian scholars, not the prince who threw himself into the vigorous anti-Qing struggle to avenge his family and country.

Pan Yinglong, the eunuch of the supervising army, looked at Wang Wu curiously, afraid that he couldn't understand how this young Jingzhou general created a miracle of defeating the Qing army in a row.

Hao Shaoqi came over to ask about the situation of the Hong Ministry.

King Han sighed and said that Hong Buyuan had contracted a cold and had a high fever outdoors before, and Lang Zhong was taking care of it, so he would not be able to come over.

"You can't let the Hong Ministry of Finance toss anymore, otherwise we won't be able to live with others if something happens."

Hao Shaoqi shook his head and invited everyone to speak in the conference hall.

Wang Wu went with him.

After entering the council hall, he killed Tian and locked the remnants of the collar to help Lao Mugang, and how he won the victory by pretending to be the Qing army. didn't say why he didn't insist on the Western Front, Liu Heng must have told them about Lao Mugang's situation.

"This trick is good, he Li Guoying can pretend to be us, why can't we pretend to be them!"

Hao Shaoqi said "hey" and slapped his palm on the table, "Damn, why didn't we think of using this trick before!" ”

Yuan Zongdi smiled and shook his head: "This method can only be used for a while, not for a lifetime." Although the soldiers are treacherous, they still have to face each other in the end. The so-called tricks and tricks are just the use of military means, if you rely on this way, it will damage your own heart to die, since ancient times, there is no chance to steal the opportunity to achieve great things. ”

After hearing this, Wang Wu thought it was true, and after subduing the party and the old tower department, he resolutely took the lead in cutting off his braids.

I am not afraid of anything else, I am afraid that my subordinates will rely too much on the speculative method of impersonating the enemy, so that they will not dare to engage the Qing army head-on.

He also briefly talked about the situation of the team he led.

Together with those who were transferred with Liu Heng first, Wang Wuyi brought back more than 6,000 people from the Western Front.

There are nearly 4,000 soldiers who can fight.

The amount of weapons such as armor, arrows, and gunpowder seized was considerable, but there was not much food.

This is also the practical difficulty faced by Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi's army, and now the two of them can use grain and grass to support them for a few days at most.

So it's natural to talk about the breakout.

The two old marshals obviously discussed with King Han, King Andong, and Eunuch Pan, and the conclusion was also that Liu Heng, the son of Liu Tichun, and Wang Wu said that they broke through the siege and went to Xingshan to join forces with the tiger marshal Li Laiheng.

Wang Wu has no opinion on this.

Previously, the remnants of Yuan and Hao were less than 3,000, and there was a serious shortage of soldiers, so they failed to break through the defense line of the Huguang Green Battalion.

Now with the 4,000 fresh troops brought by Wang Wu, the Ming army will naturally twist into a rope and break through the blockade line of the Qing army.

It's either life or death.

There is no other way!

Without Yuan Zongdi opening his mouth, Wang Wu got up and bowed to the two princes, the two old marshals, and Pan Jianjun, and took the initiative to ask: "The last general is willing to lead the headquarters to fight a bloody way for the army, and if it is not successful, it will become benevolent!" ”

"Good boy!"

Yuan Zongdi was moved, stepped forward and patted Wang Wu on the shoulder, not knowing what to say for a while.

I was also ashamed in my heart, he and Lao Hao had been fighting on the battlefield for thirty years, but he didn't think that in the end, he would ask a doll to open the way for them, which was really uncomfortable.

"Boy, if you don't say anything else, I won't tell you, just one word, you can rush out as much as you can! Even if you're the only one rushing out, don't look back at us! ”

Hao Shaoqi's temperament was a little bigger than Yuan Zongdi's, and he untied his saber and threw it to Wang Wu while speaking.

"Take it, this knife was worn by the first emperor before his death, and then the little tiger gave us the knife, but after all, we are old, and this knife will belong to you in the future!"

Looking at the Li Zicheng saber in his hand, Wang Wu's heart was magnificent.

The two princes of the Ming family had long been accustomed to Hao Shaoqi calling Li Zi the first emperor in front of them, and they looked at each other, both helpless.

If the eunuch Pan didn't hear it, he suddenly asked Wang Wudao: "Are you the fifth in the family?" ”

Wang Wu hurriedly said: "Back to Pan's father-in-law, the last general's father-in-law is Wang Deshun, the former commander of the brigade, and together with the last general's father-in-law, a total of six righteous sons have been received, because the last general is the fifth, so people call me Wang Wu." ”

"Don't have a name?"

Pan Yinglong was a little strange.

Wang Wu shook his head, really not.

Anton King Zhu Shenglang asked, "Where is your father-in-law?" ”

Wang Wu was a little sad and said: "In the tenth year of Yongli, my father-in-law was martyred when he entered Hunan with Gao Shuai. ”

Zhu Shenglang asked Wang Wu again if the other brothers were not there.

Wang Wu said frankly that the four brothers above were all martyred, and there was still a righteous brother in the army below.

It is not said that his fourth brother, Wang Si, was killed after surrendering.

Zhu Shenglang nodded after hearing this, and looked at King Han: "This kid is good, and he is also full of loyalty, but he can't be called by the king and the king, so this kid has beheaded a Tartar and has to have a name in the future, why don't you ask King Han to give him a name?" ”

"Name-giving?"

Zhu Jingli, the king of Han, was stunned, then laughed, and said to Wang Wu: "Back then, Emperor Longwu gave the surname of Zheng Senguo, the king of Yanping, and gave the name success, and today this king will follow Emperor Longwu and give you the name Yaowu, so as to promote the prestige of my Ming army, expel the Manchurian Hulu, and recreate the great rivers and mountains!" ”
