Volume I, Chapter 35
Hua Buer knew that Li Zhao and others had been fighting horses all their lives and were addicted to alcohol, so he asked Huang Lin to order his subordinates to cut some beef and prepare dozens of catties of "daughter red". Regardless of the etiquette of the monarch and the courtiers, the dignity and humility of the position, everyone sat in a circle, drinking and eating meat, and discussing the military situation in detail.
Hua Buer, as the chief of internal affairs of the Daxing National Army of Yang Zhenlong's rebel army and the medical officer of the army, at the beginning of this year, together with Yang Zhenlong, the former general soldier of Quzhou in the Great Song Dynasty, who had returned to the field, gathered the eighteen capitals of Ninghai to raise troops to revolt and vigorously oppose the Yuan. The army reached 120,000, which can be described as a huge momentum. At the beginning, the Yuan army was unprepared, where the righteous army went, attacked the city and plundered the terrain like a broken bamboo, and has been from Ninghai to Dongyang Yushan through Tiantai, with Yushan 25 as the base, killing horses and sacrificing to the sky, the country name "Daxing", the year name "Anding". Yang Zhenlong's general soldier claimed to be the king, and ordered the army to stab the four words "Daxing National Army" on their foreheads, and swore to drive the Yuan slaves and restore the rivers and mountains. However, the righteous army promoted the army, lacked well-trained training, and suffered many defeats in the confrontation with the Yuan and Yuan armies, first defeated in Xinchang, and then defeated in Taoyuan and other places.
At that time, more than half of the rebel army was lost, and it was urgent to replenish the supply of troops and grain and grass, so Yang Zhenlong secretly ordered Hua Buji to sneak back to the southwest of Zhejiang to secretly prepare grain and grass and organize troops to prepare for emergencies.
Who knew that Hua Fuji had been away from the camp for several months, and there was very little military ration raised. Every time I think of this, I feel deeply ashamed. asked Li Zhao about the situation after the farewell.
Li Zhaodao: "After the head of China left, the righteous army in Yuanxing Dasi Nong Toto, Zhedong Xuanfu made Shi Bi led 100,000 people to chase and intercept the defeat and retreat, first lost Yushan, and then lost Longxing Mountain. The general army of Yang Zhenlong, the king of Daxing, broke through to the Songtan of Ninghai, and finally died in the chaos because he was outnumbered......"
When Li Zhao said this, he couldn't control his grief anymore, and cried bitterly, and the rest of the generals couldn't cry.
Li Zhao cried and said: "Now that the Daxing National Army has been divided and collapsed, we will fight desperately to get out of the encirclement and escape with our lives, and I hope that the Chinese governor will make a decision." “
Hua Buer burst into tears and shouted: "The emperor does not bless the great rejuvenation of the country!" and fell backwards.
The crowd hurried to wake him up.
Hua Buer still had tears in his eyes, and shouted in a lost voice: "The lord of Daxing died unjustly...... Hua is ashamed, what face does he have to live in heaven and earth!" suddenly snatched a long sword from the waist of a soldier, and wiped it off his neck.
Fan Baiyu was shocked, stretched out his hand to snatch the long sword, and said angrily: "Driving the Yuan Dynasty to restore the Song Dynasty, there is a long way to go, and it is always a matter of good things and many grinds, why is it that senior brother is like this? It is easy to die, wouldn't he have lived up to the great trust of Lord Yang and the high hopes of the people in the world?
When Hua Buer heard this, his heart perked up, and he said: "What Senior Sister said is true, it is reasonable. It's just that I'm seventy years old now, and I have the ambition of a thousand miles, and I have no power to break through the dust. As the so-called:
The general was broken in a hundred battles, and he looked back thousands of miles to the river, and the old man was forever. The wind is cold in the west, and the seats are full of clothes like snow. The tragedy of the strong man is not ......"
Looking at the generals in the hall, their faces were full of wind and dust, and they showed their tired faces slightly. I thought to myself, Xin Jiaxuan's poem can be a portrayal of my heart at this time. Back then, he was like me, seeing the reckless Shenzhou fall into Yidi, and the capture of the situation, the recovery period, the rest of the battle, and the self-generosity and sorrow.
When Lu He heard him say this, he couldn't help but be moved. Yes, there is a way that the two do not forget the ambition of a thousand miles, and the sick Hong will eventually have a red heart. But this country is broken and broken, and there are empty people. The hearts of the people are scattered, and there is no period of recovery. Although he was once the emperor of the Song Dynasty and a generation of emperors, he was also reduced to the point of being incognito under the fence. At this moment, how can we firmly embrace the group, solve the world's life in water and fire, and recover the mountains and rivers in case?
Lu said: "What Senior Fan said is very ...... If the ambition is not rewarded, how can the gentleman talk about life and death? Although the general soldier is dead, the emperor is still there. As long as we all work together and share the same hatred for the enemy, why not fear that the rivers and mountains will not recover and the nation will not prosper?"
As soon as Lu He's words came out, it was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky. Hua Fuji suddenly woke up, his eyes glowing red. Yes, I almost forgot, Yang Zhenlong, the lord of Daxing, is only a general soldier in Quzhou, an unknown person, and he can still respond to a hundred calls and gather 100,000 people.
At that moment, he broke free from the support of the generals, turned over to Lu and bowed again, and said with tears in his eyes: "Weichen Hua Fuji respectfully asks Your Majesty to reinvigorate the monarchy, edict the world, raise the banner of righteousness, support the Great Song Dynasty, and uphold the society." ”
Li Zhao and other generals saw that the Chinese Divine Doctor was sincere in his fists, and Kuang Song's heart could show the sun and the moon, and immediately bowed down one after another, and said in unison: "The last general is willing to lead the horse and fall with His Majesty, swear to serve the saddle to the death, and go to the national disaster together!"
Lu He saw that everyone was united, and his heart was greatly moved, and he wept and said: "Everyone, please get up, although Lu He is not virtuous and incompetent, but as an orphan of the first dynasty, he also has the enthusiasm to restore the country. “
Everyone got up as they were told, and sat down again to rearrange their cups and plates. Doctor Hua said: "General Li, how many remnants of the Daxing National Army remain?"
Li Zhaodao: "Since the capture of Yuan Jiu and Zhang Jiuzhu of the Eastern Route Army, the officers and men under their command surrendered and fled, and the Yuan army used the strategy of 'recruiting and scattering and dividing Shuxi' to appease the ordinary sergeants and return to their hometowns on the one hand, and focus on attacking the backbone leaders on the other hand. Today, the Eastern Route Army has long since collapsed. As for our Western Route Army, after the martyrdom of the country's lord Yang Zhenlong, the general soldier, it was killed and scattered by the Yuan army, and the whereabouts of Prime Minister Li Sen, Lou Mengcai, Pingzhang Li Xiang, and Li Ji were unknown, and their lives and deaths were unknown......"
Hua Buji let out a long sigh and burst into tears. After pondering for a long time, Fang said: "For today's plan, I sincerely hope that the general will personally lead the rest of his troops to sneak back to eastern Zhejiang as displaced refugees, and secretly gather the scattered soldiers in order to attack later." I'm still here in the name of practicing medicine, secretly gathering people with extraordinary abilities in the rivers and lakes. As for Your Majesty...... Still in the name of Lu, by the beggars to the momentum of the world's heroes, then August 15, everyone to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing party as the reason, gathered at the top of Mount Tai, a total of righteous flags. “
The crowd applauded in unison.
Lu He said: "Mr. is really far-sighted, and Lu He is admired." However, if I want to have some prestige among the beggars, I need a favor from my husband. “
Speaking of the beggar gang, Hua Buer remembered something and said: "Although there are many talents in the beggar gang, they are also mixed...... Gang leader Ma Ronghao has rarely shown his face in the rivers and lakes recently, his whereabouts are unknown, the gang is divided, and there are infighting from time to time. Your Majesty should pay more attention to Cheng Xiangdong, Hall Master. “
Lu Ji said: "I also have some doubts about Hall Master Cheng, but I can't guess what he wants to do for the time being?" Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, how did you know my identity?"
Jade Sword Woman Fan Baiyu said: "On the day when the beggars helped Master Cheng and others to come to Baozhong Yanfu Temple to look for you, I had already guessed a few points. Back then, the gang leader also asked me to protect you secretly. “
Lu said: "I see. “
Hua Buji said: "What does Your Majesty want the old man to help?"
Lu said: "About ten days ago, someone broke into the helm of the beggar gang at night, killed more than ten disciples of the beggar gang, and seriously injured Sun Zhongqian, the law enforcement elder of the Dirty Clothes Sect, and Zhu Wanjun, another elder, and now their lives are in danger and in danger......
When Hua Buer heard this, his face was solemn, and he said: "I think that the law enforcement elder Sun Zhongqian's martial arts are extremely high, and his attainments are second only to the gang leader Ma Ronghao...... It seems that the person who shot it must be extraordinary, I don't know who did it?"
Lu said: "Although the Beggar Gang Purifying Clothes Sect Master Cheng and the elders are well-informed, judging from the injuries of the two elders alone, there are also different opinions. However, according to Bai Busheng, the elder of the Dirty Cloak Sect, the two elders should have been injured by the immeasurable divine palm of the Northern Sect. “
"Immeasurable Divine Palm?" Hua Buji fell into deep thought. The Infinite Divine Palm was founded in the old man of the wind in Changbai Mountain, but the old man of the wind was invited by the blood killing door twenty years ago to go to the desert, and now his life and death are unknown. The rivers and lakes have never heard of him having any heirs? Besides, the beggar gang has no friendship with the northern faction, so how can they provoke the people of Changbai Mountain? There must be something strange about this.
At the moment, he was suspicious in his heart, and it was inconvenient to say it in public, so he only said: "If the two elders are really injured in the immeasurable divine palm of Changbai Mountain, the old man is not talented, and he can still be cured, and I will accompany you later." “
Lu He clasped his hands into fists, and did not pay attention to any court etiquette, and said, "Thank you, Mr. for your help...... It's just that without further ado, it's too late, and the two elders are afraid that their lives will not be guaranteed. "I thought that most of the rumors in the rivers and lakes were just groundless, and it turned out that this Chinese doctor was not an unreasonable person, but others were too alarmist.
Hua Buji said: "It's okay, let's go immediately." He turned his head to Li Zhao and the others: "The generals have the right to stay here tonight, and they will act according to the plan tomorrow." Remember, Mount Tai gathers on the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. He looked back at Bai Rushuang and said, "Shuang'er, come with me to the helm of the beggar gang." “
Bai Rushuang said: "Yes." Peeked at Lu He, and saw that he was also looking at himself blankly, looking at each other, he couldn't help but have a hot face, and hurriedly turned his head away, and said, "Jian'er, chess, let's go." “
