Xun Yu, who was lying on the couch with a wet wipe on his forehead, was looking at Liang blankly.
Wang Xiu beside the couch also frowned and thought of a way. After a long time, he said to Xun Yu:
"How about you run away."
Xun Yu asked weakly:
"Where can I run?"
"Go to Liaodong, I'll find a boat, you can go directly!"
"Going to Liaodong?"
"Yes, although it's bitterly cold there, it's beyond the reach of the imperial court. It's just a boat ride across the sea from Beihai."
As soon as he heard that he was going to cross the sea, Xun Yu, a landlubber from the Central Plains, immediately shook his head. Even if he really went to Liaodong, what would happen to his people? The Xun family had originally pointed to his father's officialdom to restore their family reputation. Now that his father is gone, the family's rejuvenation
No more.
Seeing that Xun Yu refused, Wang Xiu became anxious. He stood up and said:
"You can't stay in Dongpingling any longer. If you don't leave, Gao Zong will definitely arrest you. Then the entire Dongpingling city will be destroyed on your head."
Speaking of this, Xun Yu lost his mind and murmured:
"Yes, the fall of Dongping Tomb was all my fault. I was the one who wanted to capture the dog and donkey, I was the one who wanted to set up a trap to annihilate the traitors lurking in Dongping Tomb, and it was I who ordered the east gate to be opened. All of this
This is my responsibility, and they can’t be considered a frame-up.”
Seeing Xun Yu say this, Wang Xiu wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.
Xun Yu thought again of the East Street where the dead body rested, with ruins and broken walls everywhere, and thought of his father's voice and smile, and the tears in his eyes couldn't stop rolling.
He spoke loudly and resolutely:
"I'm going to surrender. I can't hide from this matter. I can't hide from it. Shuzhi, I want to ask you to do a favor. I will write a letter to you later. Please send it to Yingyin Eight Dragons for me and give the letter to me.
My sixth uncle. This is a matter of my life, so I ask my uncle to take care of you."
Wang Xiuyisu said calmly:
"Wen Ruo, don't worry. I, Wang Xiu, am entrusted by others and do things loyal to others. I will definitely bring the letter to you, don't worry."
Xun Yu smiled. This Wang Xiu was really not in vain. As for that Bing Yuan, hum!
Wang Xiu also thought of Bing Yuan and explained:
"Genju is very happy to hear that you are here with me. But he asked me to take the lead, and he also asked you to take the lead, saying that this is the best choice. Don't think too much, I think Genju should be doing it for your own good."
After hearing Wang Xiu say that Bing Yuan and he thought of each other, he suddenly felt that his view of Bing Yuan needed to be corrected.
-------------------
After putting away the corpses in the pit, Zhang Chong took the rescued women to worship them, and then distributed the blood-stained gold and silver from the wall of the dock to these poor women.
Set fire to this den of thieves.
Then amidst the roaring fireworks, Zhang Chong and his cavalry, along with the craftsmen and some women who were willing to follow, continued to move towards Mount Tai.
Zhang Chong knew that there would be more and more serious crimes like this in the future. But he swore to plow up all these moths with the Chinese plow in his hands.
The craftsmen who had been immersed in pushing the cart were silent along the way. The scene they saw at the dock wall made them even more worried about their future. People like them have never been in control of their own lives. From birth to now,
They are all craftsmen slaves who belong to the arsenal. In the past, they were always scolded, beaten, or even killed by the arsenal officials. But the master who is following him now seems to have a good heart.
I hope he can treat us like cattle and horses.
Don't think that they are making a fool of themselves. If they were as important as cows and horses, how happy would they be? What owner doesn't feel sorry for cows and horses!
As for treating them as human beings? What are human beings?
After that, Zhang Chong and others went all the way through Tugu County and arrived at Jinshibi.
At this time, Jin's wall had been rebuilt, and even the polder on the side had been built again. Relying on this polder, the mountain lairs in Taishan continued to sell mountain goods to the powerful people in Tugu County, and then these powerful people
They took these mountain goods and went to Jishui to do business along the river.
With the integration of Taishan Fang, the current transaction scale is no longer what it was in the past. Also because of the existence of the polder, the relationship between Taishan Fang and the powerful people in Tugu County has also been improved.
It's a pity that these will all become a thing of the past.
At this time, Jin Xuan was coming to meet Zhang Chong with the soldiers guarding the field from Jin's wall and the general Li Wu stationed in Wei City.
After Jin Falcon recovered from his injuries, he took Jin Bing's family down the mountain again.
They brought a group of Shanliao to build new homes in the old fortress of Jinshibi. Jin Bing also served as the field officer of several nearby Shanliao settlements, specializing in teaching them farming.
With the help of Li Wu, Jin Falcon reorganized the field guards of Jin's wall, and he was naturally the field guard chief.
Jin Falcon's heart is complicated. He is grateful to Shi Jiajun, who changed the lives of Jin Falcon and his brother-in-law Jin Bing, but he also has other emotions.
He sometimes also thought about whether the Dongpingling soldiers would not come if the Shi family army did not come and allocate land to them, and whether the Jin family wall could continue to exist. If they don't think about it now, they will die.
Get a few of them.
Yes, the people of the Shi Jiajun have divided their land, but now they are all dead. The land they worked hard to cultivate will now be given to those mountain lairs in vain. Do you think those who died were unjust?
It was because of these burdens that Jin Falcon couldn't turn around for a while. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that all this was caused by the Shi Jiajun.
But later, his brother-in-law Jin Bing's words not only gave him an enlightenment, but also made him wake up.
That time, Jin Bing noticed something was wrong with Jin Falcon's mood, and the two talked all night long. Jin Bing had a very simple explanation for what Jin Falcon said:
"Whoever harmed us is the Dongpingling soldiers. Whoever treats us well is the Shijia army. Some people don't want us to live a good life and want us to die. It's okay if we don't say we want to avenge our brothers who died.
Blame the good people who help us? Why, just because we know that evil people kill people and good people don't kill people casually, can we bully good people? Why, should good people be bullied?"
Jin Falcon was ashamed and terrified. Yes, since when did he, Jin Falcon, not think about revenge for his brothers who died, but wanted to vent his anger on those who helped him? He felt guilty for his own cowardice.
ashamed.
After that, he concentrated on the training of field guards. He swore that next time, he would protect the villagers and bite another piece of flesh from these enemies.
Li Wu later led two hundred soldiers and stationed them in the Wei market next to Jin's wall. Jin Falcon often came here to ask him how to train soldiers.
Li Wu also had a high opinion of Jin Falcon. He felt that this person could learn, had courage, and was a farmer. He was naturally a supporter and reserve force for their Shi Jiajun. Therefore, Li Wu arranged the training together with Zhang Chong and Yang Mao.
He carefully taught Jin Falcon how to do it. He had plenty of food and training, and Jin Falcon instilled in the soldiers a hatred for the powerful. The combat power of the soldiers guarding Jin's wall soared.
In Li Wu's own words, the combat power of this field guard was definitely not inferior to those of the old battalion leaders on Mount Tai.
Li Wu didn't expect that Jin Falcon was a material for military training, so he was determined to promote him. This time, knowing that Qu Kui was coming back to the mountain to come to Jinshibi, he wanted to recommend Jin Falcon to Zhang Chong.
At this moment, five miles outside the Jin family, Li Wu and Jin Falcon were waiting on the rural road. Last night, Jin Falcon knew that Li Wu was going to recommend him, so he stayed up all night. He was both excited and nervous, and his mouth was burning at the moment.
Got a big blood blister.
Li Wu comforted Jin Falcon and said:
"Falcon, don't be anxious. If I had known I shouldn't have mentioned this to you last night. Don't worry, he always knows people well and does their job well. If you have talents, you won't be buried in his hands. Trust me."
After hearing this, Jin Falcon nodded vigorously.
"coming."
Li Wu's lieutenant next to him saw the cars and horses in front of him from a distance, and immediately said this in a solemn voice.
Then Li Wu led everyone to greet him.
Zhang Chong was still riding in front. At this moment, he was obviously not very interested. He was thinking about how to mobilize Taishan Fang. At this moment, he was also a little embarrassed. If he didn't do it well, it would affect his prestige.
Originally everyone in Taishan thought that this year would be a year of rest and recuperation. This spring, they opened up a large area of Wenyang land. Not only did they build water conservancy, plotted fields, and built farms, they also planted this year's spring seedlings. All the people in the area were planted.
Jin is farming hard. At this time, what should Zhang Chong say to them?
He said, Oh, Zhang Chong, in order to live up to his old brother and be an old brother who has betrayed his integrity, broke the Dongping Mausoleum and killed two thousand stones? Then he said, everyone is white, and the encirclement and suppression of the Han Dynasty will follow.
The army is coming. Then follow Zhang Chong to fight those imperial soldiers?
How to mobilize this? After all, everyone in Taishan Fang is eager to go dormant now, and they don’t want to attract the attention of the Han court. Even some people who know the relationship between Taishan Fang and Taiping Dao have not thought about it, let those Taiping Dao take the lead in uprising, and then let
They attracted the attention of the court.
But what now? Because of his impulsiveness, Qu Kui, who was always correct, first ignored the advice of the wise generals and went into the city to hoe the traitors. Then he refused to leave after receiving support. He insisted on breaking the Dongping Tomb and killed two thousand stones to move Mount Tai up and down.
At the forefront of the storm.
Didn’t you say that you won’t destroy the city? Didn’t you say that you would just develop in the countryside? What are you, Zhang Chong, doing now? Moreover, the most ridiculous thing is that this strategy was what Zhang Chong told his brothers before.
A man who insists on his own way and changes his orders day by day is a fool of himself.
All in all, Zhang Chong knew along the way that if he didn't handle his trip to Pinglingyi well, his prestige as the leader of the channel might really plummet.
It was with this anxiety that Zhang Chong walked up to Li Wu and Jin Falcon. He forced a smile and said:
"Awu, how are you doing in this market? Is it any different from doing it in the mountains?"
Li Wu scratched his head in embarrassment, but said honestly:
"Everyone has his own merits. In the mountains, I am with my brothers, and I feel at ease. Here, it is lively, and I can gain experience. In short, as long as you need it, I, Li Wu, will do it to my heart's content."
Seeing that his old brother still trusted him so much, Zhang Chong laughed, and the previous self-pity was a little diluted. Then he looked at Jin Falcon, meaning, Li Wu, why don't you introduce him?
Zhang Chong didn't know Jin Falcon. When he was delivering a message to the mountains, Zhang Chong was still at the south camp of Lu Zhongnan with his army.
Li Wu came up immediately, smiled and said to Zhang Chong:
"Kui, you have always told us that we should pay attention to discovering and cultivating talents. This man's name is Jin Xuan, and he is the captain of Jin's field guard. I think this boy is a talent. The soldiers he trains are first-class.
Good soldier."
Hearing what Li Wu said, Zhang Chong became interested and began to test Jin Shuan on some details of military training. Jin Shuan used his own experience and thinking to answer one by one. Although some were different from those in the military book, Zhang Chong discovered that this man
I do have my own ideas about military training.
It’s good to have ideas, but what I’m afraid of is people who don’t have any ideas and just follow the script.
Finally, Zhang Chong said to Li Wu and Jin Falcon:
"You should step up your training. There will be a big battle waiting for us later."
