Chapter 12: Pioneer War Grievances (I)

In the afternoon, the sky was a little overcast, and the sky was thick with clouds. The cool autumn breeze came from the northwest, and the forests of the four fields swayed, and the branches and leaves made a slight rattling sound.

Heavy rain is coming.

On the Baigou River, there are thousands of boats, flags like waves, and spears like forests.

The big one is like a city tower, as high as seven or eight zhang, it is a building ship, it can accommodate hundreds of people and nearly a thousand, it is in the center; the small one is like a swimming fish, it is more than one zhang long, it is for the boat, cruising around; the sharp one is like a fierce beast, the boat side stands on the female wall to open the arrow hole, the bow of the ship is wrapped in cowhide, it is for the fighting ship, can accommodate more than 100 people, and is arranged in the periphery.

The fleet rode the wind and anchored in turn on the banks of a wide river and a gentle river. With the sound of the school gate, the sailors fixed the ship and set up the longboard.

A team of soldiers led the mules and disembarked from all over the ship.

Suddenly, the riverside was full of people, and the sound of iron armor was endless.

On the third deck of a huge building ship, a young general dressed in bright light armor stood with his sword pressed on his sword, and his calm and domineering gaze roamed around. An indestructible aura hidden in his body spread, enveloping the thousands of soldiers around him.

Zhu Yin, a general of the military family.

Suddenly, a real human realm monk flew from the northern sky, landed on the boat where Zhu Yin was, and reported to him with a fist: "General Zhu, the defenders of the injustice sentence are closed and do not launch a cavalry attack to disturb our army's landing!"

Zhu Yin's face did not change: "Where is my elite cavalry now?"

The one who answered his question was the deputy general beside him, and the other party said: "The five thousand elite horsemen who are marching on the shore and echoing with the sailors are now at most twenty miles away from the grievances. ”

The riverbank where the army landed was only more than ten miles away from the county seat.

Zhu Yin nodded: "Let the fine cavalry go to the city of injustice, keep an eye on the other party's every move, if the other party has signs of sending troops and horses to attack the riverbank, there is no need to report it, intercept it immediately!"

"Command!"

He looked at the True Human Realm cultivator: "Please take someone to keep an eye on the direction of Caozhou, and if there are reinforcements from there, please report back immediately." ”

"General Zhu can rest assured that he will not make a mistake. The True Human Realm monk clenched his fists slightly, and then led a group of monks to fly away in the direction of Caozhou in the east.

Zhu Yin didn't say anything more, and continued to gaze at the soldiers landing on the shore with a face like cold iron.

As one of Zhu Wen's most trusted generals, Zhu Yin was entrusted with the important task of leading 50,000 foot cavalry and 800 soldiers to attack the grievances this time.

To be able to become a general of Zhu Wen's cronies, Zhu Yin not only relied on the same surname and clan as Zhu Wen, as early as when Zhu Wen followed Huang Chao to fight in the north and south, he was already by Zhu Wen's side.

In the past, Zhu Wen's family worked as a domestic servant in Liu Chong's Mansion in Xiao County, and Zhu Wen, who was not doing his job, was idle, whether he was hunting in the mountains or dancing with guns and sticks, he was a good hand, and gradually a group of equally young ruffians gathered around him.

At that time, Zhu Yin fooled around with Zhu Wen and others. When you are greedy, you steal chickens and dogs, and when you are short of money, you go into the mountains to hunt, and you don't know how many people poke your back, and when you return home, you don't receive many reprimands and disappointed eyes. That's a few years.

In the eyes of others, they live a free life, and they are a group of heartless guys. However, both Zhu Wen and Zhu Yin know that such days cannot last long, and they still have to go on the road of marrying a wife and having children after all.

It's just that in addition to knowing some fists and feet, being clever and active, and having more eyes than those rigid croppers, they don't have any serious skills.

If this is placed in peacetime, if Zhu Yin can't turn back in time, it will be a good fate if he doesn't go to prison, and in the end he can only end up being a lonely old man for life. Maybe the starvation of death at home will not be found in time.

Even if the prodigal son turns back, it will be the life of a farmer.

At this time, Huang Chao and Xianzhi raised things.

The crowd felt that their opportunity had come.

Zhu Wen said to Zhu Yin and others: "You and I are illiterate, so we have strength and cleverness, if you want to spoil your wife and concubine, you will be a thief except for joining the army." Now that the court is deaf, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are like cow hair, you and I go to join the army, there is neither a dignitary to take care of, nor money to bribe officials, it is difficult to mix up a look, and I can't say that I will be bullied. ”

"At present, the imperial dynasty is in turmoil, soldiers are everywhere, Wang Xianzhi raised troops in Puzhou, Huang Chao raised affairs in Caozhou, and the imperial court soldiers and horses have nothing to do with them, this is our opportunity. If you and I are brave people, if you follow them to be a thief and rob some beautiful people's money, it will be very easy. Wouldn't it be nice to live a free life, and you don't have to worry about the succession?"

These words reached the hearts of Zhu Yin and others.

That is to say, these people are wild monsters on weekdays, they are much more courageous than ordinary people, they dare to think and do, and they have nothing to do, and they don't have to give up the crops in the field and the food at home.

A bunch of scum have no worries and no other choice, and if they want to change their situation, they must find another way.

They packed their bags, packed their sticks, and left the village amid the ridicule of their fellow villagers and the scolding of their parents. Asking for directions along the way, he walked hundreds of miles with black eyes, and really found the army of Huang Chao.

Since then, Zhu Yin's gang has become robbers, killing people without blinking.

It didn't take long for them to find out that they were really fit for it.

So a group of fellow villagers took silver and plundered everything, drank wine in big bowls, divided gold and silver in large scales, and lived a really happy life.

It's just that when the war is in the north and south, it is inevitable to be displaced, and sometimes the battle is lost and flees in a hurry, which is no different from a lost dog.

The villagers around him died one after another, and many of them belonged to different generals, and gradually lost the news, and they didn't know whether they died in that stinky ditch, whether the corpses were buried and burned, or were eaten by wild dogs.

However, there is no turning back, they are thieves for one day and thieves for life, and even if they flee back to the countryside, they will be arrested by officials.

The dead don't think about these things, the positions of those who can live for a long time have risen, and the wine and beauty are not so easy to put aside.

Many times, Zhu Yin will also think about when this kind of hasty thief will be a head. How will he die, will the family know that he is dead, and even if they do, will they dare to build a tomb for him and set up a spiritual position.

When it was almost impossible to find a companion who was wearing cloth clothes and carrying sticks together and left the village in anxiety and excitement, Zhu Wen became the envoy of the Xuanwu Army. And Zhu Yin also changed into a court official, and with a clear message, he could return to his hometown and become prominent in the township.

The north and south are running around, the soles of his shoes are worn out, he fights bloodily all day long, and after today, there is no tomorrow, and he is afraid to go back to see his parents' life, which has nothing to do with him.

He is a serious four-rank general of the imperial court, standing at a height that he could not have imagined when he was young, no matter what.

The first thing he did when he returned to his hometown was to repair the graves of his ancestors and feast his fellow villagers.

From then on, he could straighten his waist in front of his parents, spend a lot of money in front of his fellow villagers, and be praised and flattered by everyone.

He became a role model in the township, the threshold of his house was broken, everyone he saw was a kind and envious smile, and he was followed by countless young people.

The big husband should be like this.

Zhu Yin knows very well that he can have all this today, three points on his own, on his bloody battles, and on luck for three points, he did not die in the chaotic battle, and the remaining four points depend on Zhu Wen, it was the other party who took him from a thief to a court official.

He was faithfully loyal to Juwen and would not allow anyone to deprive him of his present status, identity, and glory.

Therefore, whenever he fights, Zhu Yin always takes the initiative to ask for his life, and he is often a pioneer.

Zhu Wen said that King An was a threat, and there could only be one prince in the Central Plains and the north.

Zhu Yin led the army to rush to the grievance.

Even if the other party is the most famous prince of the dynasty and a victorious general who rarely loses in the world, this time Zhu Yin is duty-bound. Whether it's a crime or not, he's going to have to fight.

Zhu Yin has seen King An.

In the early years, after Huangchao broke through Chang'an, he used troops from all sides to expand the scope of control, and then the various feudal towns rose to the king of Qin. After they captured Dengzhou City, he once followed Zhu Wen to the direction of Xuzhou to inquire about the enemy's situation, and met King An, who also came to inquire about the enemy's situation, in a tea shed.

At that time, Zhu Wen fought with Li Ye.

This experience made Zhu Yin better able to understand the strength of King An than others.

But he was not afraid.

Just like back then, with a package that only had a change of clothes, he followed Zhu Wen and the others with a stick, and resolutely walked out of the village.

Zhu Yin had no choice.

First fight the Tianping Army, and then draw the Lu Army.

For Zhu Wen, but also for himself.

"General Zhu, enemy reinforcements have been found in the direction of Caozhou!"

Halfway through the disembarkation of the army, a monk who had gone to the east to investigate rushed back.

Zhu Yin frowned: "How many people?"

"About 15,000 steps to ride, from Caozhou City!"

Zhu Yin groaned.

Caozhou City is only more than 40 miles away from the county of Yiju, and if the soldiers and horses there are in a hurry, it only takes half a day to arrive.

Zhu Yin glanced at the army assembled on the riverside, and ordered: "Let the elite cavalry no longer have to stare at the injustice, and go over to harass and intercept the Caozhou soldiers and horses!"

Now the large army that has landed on the shore has reached nearly 20,000 people, which is enough to set up a defensive formation to cope with the onslaught of the enemy under normal circumstances.

No, it's not defense, if the defenders of the injustice dare to come over, with their more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, Zhu Yin is confident that he will defeat them.

It's good if the other party doesn't come, but if they do, they will be sent to death.

In this way, Zhu Yin was able to capture the county without much effort.

Just as Zhu Yin was thinking about the possible battle situation next, he suddenly frowned and looked at the south bank of Baigou.

He sensed that there was a powerful cultivation fluctuation coming from there.

But it wasn't a large group of strong men, but just three or five monks.

Before Zhu Yin could perceive the more detailed situation, in the northwest direction deep on the north bank of the white ditch, there was also a powerful cultivation fluctuation coming from a hill.

It's the same four or five breaths.

Zhu Yin's eyes gradually lowered.

With the cultivation of the generals of the military family, it was not difficult for him to judge that the fluctuations in the cultivation of the southern bank were very different from those on the northern bank, and they came from two different sects.

One of them, he was very familiar with.
