My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 87 No.80 Long Chapter: Heartbroken Old Father

On the official road leading to the county seat, the people who fled from the east of the river with their families are all within sight.

Wei Cheng did not expect that the development of the situation has become so serious. If there is still a sliver of hope, who is willing to drag his family away from his hometown? Winter is coming soon, and it is unknown how many people will die along the way people.

"It's unreasonable, stop!"

Wei Cheng looked back and saw Zhang Fei got off his horse and kicked a sloppy man.

In front of the man was a poor mother and daughter. A steamed bun that had been split in half fell on the ground. The little girl was covering her hair. The forehead slipped down, shocking.

Aning, who was sitting in the carriage, was too frightened to make a sound by the scene in front of her. She just kindly gave her steamed buns to the little girl who was about her age, but she didn't want to bring her disaster.

The man who snatched the girl's steamed buns was kicked away by Zhang Fei. After landing, he vomited blood and stared at the little girl viciously.

The refugees who were about to move around looked at each other, staring at the steamed bun covered with mud on the ground, swallowing their saliva from time to time.

On the carriage, Cai Yan held little Aning in his arms to comfort him, Xie Yu opened the curtain and looked at Wei Cheng.

Wei Cheng frowned slightly, and said to Xu Ding behind him, "Take that mother and daughter with you."

There is no way, if he just leaves like this, that man will definitely vent all his anger on the mother and daughter.

It seems that Xiao Aning and Zhang Fei's act of kindness may eventually lead to tragedy, killing the mother and daughter.

Xu Ding nodded slightly, got off the horse himself, said a few words to Zhang Fei, and asked the mother and daughter if they would go with them.

Seeing the girl's scalp being torn off, he took out the hemostatic ointment that Wei Cheng specially made for them from his arms, and said, "Apply it on the wound, it can stop the bleeding quickly, you'd better go with us, lest you lose your life. "

The mother tremblingly looked at the man who was kicked away, then at the daughter in her arms, nodded vigorously, knelt on the ground and thanked repeatedly, and at the same time picked up the steamed buns covered in mud, and handed them to the blood-stained man. No crying daughter.

With tears in her eyes, the little girl tried her best not to cry, broke the steamed bun in half, handed the big one to her mother, and wolfed down the small one herself, while looking gratefully at the frightened Ah Ning in the carriage.

Her calm performance, not only did not make people feel admirable, but made people feel very distressed and pitied.

Along the way, I don't know how many human relationships and sinister worlds I have seen, forcing an eight or nine-year-old girl to...

Wei Cheng said: "Let them sit in the carriage behind, let's go, it will be dark soon."

Xu Ding nodded, and helped the mother and daughter to sit on the goods in the carriage. The little girl looked up at Wei Cheng, the steamed buns in her mouth were mixed with blood on her face, but she didn't care at all, she ate voraciously, even if Xu Ding Going to hug her didn't stop chewing either.

The team continued to move forward, and the rhythm was not disrupted by this episode.

The refugees on both sides of the road obviously coveted the goods on the carriage, but they only took a second look at the cavalry in military uniform with sharp knives in their hands, not daring to have any intention of snatching them.

Before night fell, Wei Cheng and his party managed to arrive at Weizhuang.

Seeing Wei Cheng who was riding a horse, the guards at the door were startled, and then hurriedly ordered people to remove the wooden fence at the intersection.

"Welcome Second Master!"

Wei Cheng pretended to be calm and nodded slightly.

The gate opened slowly, and a group of people entered Wei Zhuang in a mighty manner. The rule of not being able to ride a horse was useless in Wei Cheng's place.

Knowing that Wei Cheng was back, Wei Hao and other family elders flocked to him.

It was the first time for Wei Cheng to see Wei Hao.

If it wasn't for Cai Yan who greeted them one by one, he wouldn't even know which one was his cheap daddy.

"Teng'er!" Wei Hao excitedly stepped forward to look at his precious son.

Different from two months ago, Wei Cheng's complexion and physique at this time are not comparable to his sick predecessor.

The change was so great that even Wei's group did not dare to recognize each other.

Wei Cheng bowed his hands to everyone, and then said: "Arrange my people to rest first."

Wei Hao nodded, "That's right, that's right, for my father, I will order someone to empty Nanyuan."

A clan elder stepped forward and asked, "Teng'er, why did you suddenly go down the mountain, but... what are your plans?"

Wei Cheng looked at the man, just now Cai Yan called him Fifth Uncle, Wei Cheng also called Fifth Uncle, cupped his hands and said, "That's right, I received a letter from Second Uncle saying that the Baibo bandit might be bad for my Wei family, why is my nephew?" Can sit and wait."

Uncle Wu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and just about to speak, Wei Hao didn't want Wei Hao's face to darken, so he stepped forward and pushed him away.

"Okay, okay, my son came back just in time, so I don't have to send someone to pick you up for my father." Wei Hao said lovingly.

Wei Cheng frowned slightly: "Pick me up?"

Wei Hao smiled a bit reluctantly, grabbed Wei Cheng's arm, and said earnestly: "Yes, my father has already contacted Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, and tomorrow you will go south with Yan'er and take your younger brothers and sisters. It's on you, hehehe."

Wei Cheng's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "You want me to escape from Hedong?"

Wei Hao was stunned for a moment, why didn't this kid even say 'Father', did he get angry at being a father?

"Teng'er, as a father, this, this... is also for you... for the inheritance of my Wei clan, you..."

Wei Cheng frowned, and looked at the other elders beside him. Some of them looked at Wei Cheng with dissatisfaction, while others looked at Wei Cheng expectantly, and said, "Yes, Xun'er, you just take Xun'er with you." Li'er, brothers and sisters, let's go south, my Wei family's incense can't be broken."

Wei Cheng looked at Wei Hao and asked, "Is this the second uncle's intention?"

Wei Hao frowned thickly, momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing this, Wei Yan knew that Wei Yan must not have known about this matter, otherwise he would not have sent himself information about the Baibo Army.

After thinking for a while, Wei Cheng said: "If you want to leave, you can go. I want to stay in Hedong. I caused the troubles of the Baibo army. I will find a way to solve them and will not hurt you."

"Uh, Cheng'er, being a father doesn't mean that. There's no such thing as getting involved or not." Wei Hao hurriedly wanted to explain.

Wei Cheng waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm tired, I'll discuss what I have to say tomorrow...Nanyuan, Xu Ding."

"Yes." Xu Ding stepped forward.

Wei Cheng said: "Take my wife and the others to Nanyuan to settle down first, and the others will take over the defense of the outer wall, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei!"

"Here!" The four big men came out with a sense of oppression, which attracted the attention of everyone in the Wei family.

Wei Cheng looked at the four of them, and said in a sonorous tone: "You four each lead 20 people, and guard the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and guards. If you don't cooperate with the guards in Weizhuang, you can deal with them yourself."

"Yes."

Wei Cheng nodded slightly, looked at Le Jin and Huang Xu, and ordered: "Le Jin and Huang Xu, you two will lead five people, go to the county government and Xia County overnight, and hand over the letter I gave you to me personally." Second uncle Wei Min and third brother Wei Gong, there must be no mistake."

"Yes."

Wei Cheng gave a 'hmm', looked at Chengtou and said, "After you finish your meal, bring Mr. Jin to find me."

He clasped his head respectfully and saluted, then immediately turned around and went to the back of the line to inform Mr. Jin who was going down the mountain together.

After arranging everyone, Wei Cheng looked back at his cheap father, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I need some supplies."

Wei Hao stared at his precious son in a daze. The image of the high-spirited son just now couldn't go away for a long time. Is this really my son?
Seeing that Wei Cheng finally talked to himself, Wei Hao said with great comfort: "My son, just say, what supplies do you want? Food, weapons, or..."

"I want a large amount of sulfur and charcoal. I need to ensure that it is extremely dry and cannot be contaminated with a little moisture. Well, the sooner the better, it is urgent."

"Ah, okay, okay, let's make arrangements for my father... Cheng'er, for my father..."

"I'm tired, I'm going to rest first."

Wei Hao: "..." He looked aggrieved.

It was night, after a hasty meal.

The people who were arranged took action immediately. Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei each led [-] members of the guards to take over the entire fortification of Weizhuang.

With Wei Hao, the head of the family, behind the scenes, there was no obstacle for the four of them, and the process of taking over was very smooth.

Le Jin and Huang Xu got Wei Cheng's letter, and led a team of ten people to rush to the county government and Xia County overnight.

At this time, Wei Cheng was sitting opposite Chengtou and Mr. Jin in a small quiet courtyard.

Wei Cheng held a small bamboo tube in his hand and was playing with it with great interest.

Chengtou and Jin Lao looked at each other, "My lord, what is this?"

Wei Cheng signaled them to stay calm, then picked up the oil lamp on the side, and brought the bamboo tube closer to the wick.

hissing...

Wei Cheng threw the bamboo tube to the corner of the yard and covered his ears at the same time.

Chengtou and Mr. Jin looked puzzled, and were about to ask.

burst!
···
"what sound?"

"What sound?"

"Didn't you hear?"

In a gazebo not far from Nanyuan, all the elders of the Wei family sat in a circle.

The leader, Wei Hao, frowned, and shouted at the careless clan elder, "It's business!"

The clan elder rubbed his ears, looked up at the starry night sky, and asked curiously, "It doesn't sound like thunder?"

Wei Hao glared at him, and continued: "You have also seen that Cheng'er means to fight Bai Bojun to the end, tell me, is there any way to persuade him to go south to avoid disaster, my Wei family can't break the foundation what."

Seeing his elder brother mentioning this matter again, Wei Hao, the fifth uncle of Wei Cheng, couldn't help but heaved a long sigh, and persuaded him earnestly, "Brother, isn't Cheng'er's move obvious enough? He's not afraid. What are you afraid of? The Baibo army, beat back!" That's it."

Immediately, a clan elder retorted: "Fight? How to fight? The Baibo army has more than [-] soldiers, and my Wei family's defense of less than [-] is different from death? We are not a military family, how do we fight this battle?"

"Yes, it's like hitting a stone with an egg." Someone echoed.

Wei Hao frowned, turned to look at Wei Hao, and said, "Brother, although my Wei family has only [-] guards, the number of farm households is no less than [-]. If it is guarded by the city, plus the [-] people in Anyi County, Why are you afraid of the Baibo Army?"

"Hehe, your idea is too naive."

Someone directly denied: "The county is now ten rooms and nine empty, let alone 6000, you can find 3000 people to join the city defense, no, 3000 people, you can't even find [-] people, only some old people who have not left the city. How can the weak resist the overwhelming army?"

"Yes."

"Lao Liu is right, if you can't stop it, let's run away."

Wei Hao's eyes widened angrily: "You, you... oh!"

Wei Hao looked at the two groups of people who had different opinions, but he thought of Wei Cheng's attitude towards him, which made his old father feel very distressed.

I always felt that I was disgusted by Wei Cheng at that time, especially when Wei Cheng arranged for his subordinates to directly take over Wei Zhuang's defense, it seemed to be saying... Dad, let's go, I can easily block Bai Bo without the help of these old guys military.

You must know that no matter what happened to Wei Cheng in the past, he would discuss it with him.

Such a strong contrast made Wei Hao, the darling madman, feel deep grief. My son is no longer the obedient and good boy he used to be. He even started to dislike his old father and talk to himself in such a cold tone. woo woo woo.

"Big brother?"

"Big brother!"

"Brother, it's at this juncture, why are you in a daze?"

Wei Hao came back to his senses, coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said with a twisted beard: "If you want to leave, pack your luggage immediately, and you can leave at dawn."

Everyone was startled when they heard the words, and someone immediately asked: "Brother, what do you mean, are you not leaving?"

Wei Hao also looked at Wei Hao expectantly.

Wei Hao squinted his eyes and looked at the crowd, feeling bitter, my son won't leave, how could I, a father, abandon him?
He said righteously: "As the head of the family, how could I escape?"

"This..." The group of clan elders who wanted to leave were stunned on the spot for a while, good guy, it was you who said to leave, and you are the one who won't leave now.

On the contrary, Wei Hao and the main combat faction immediately became energetic, and Wei Hao said: "Brother, then, have you thought about how to resist the Baibo army?"

"Yeah, brother, you must have a good plan, let's talk about it for everyone to refer to."

"Teng'er is still too young. With the number of hundred and ten people he brought, how could he be able to stop the Baibo army? You still have to rely on the eldest brother."

"Did Sun Jian agree to send troops to support?"

"Brother, tell me quickly!"

Wei Hao's eyes wandered, what a good way to fart, I just couldn't bear to leave my son behind.

As for Sun Jian, for some unknown reason, he did not express his intention to support him. He only said that if the Wei family moved south, they could send troops to protect them along the way... Wei Hao had a vague feeling that Sun Jian had any plans for Hedong. There are four counties.

Just when he didn't know how to respond to everyone's questions.

The steward led Xu Ding over.

Xu Ding bowed his hands and said: "Mr. Wei, my young master would like to invite all the seniors to gather outside the south gate tomorrow at Si Shi."

Wei Hao and the others looked at each other, and asked curiously, "What can you tell me about the invitation?"

Xu Ding cupped his hands and said apologetically, "I don't know about it, the young master just asked the younger one to let me know. It's time tomorrow, and I won't wait when it's over."

Wei Hao was heartbroken again, my son has become so unfeeling, can't he come and tell his father by himself?

Xu Ding bowed his hands again and said, "Oh, there is one more thing. The young master asked the younger one to inform Duke Wei that there will be some changes outside the city at the end of tomorrow. Duke Wei should appease the people in advance so as not to cause unnecessary panic."
