Chapter 395

Before the Lantern Festival arrived, Wang Zhong left Quanzhou in a hurry, took dozens of masters, and rushed to Youyang with light clothes.

Not long after he set off, he received the news that Gu Er had smashed the rebels in Luzhou. He killed more than a thousand thieves, captured thousands of prisoners, and captured countless soldiers and luggage. , According to the thief in the north of Luzhou.

It's just that many rebels fled in all directions and fled into the mountains and forests, so it was difficult to hunt them down. Gu Er had already sent people to notify the nearby counties and counties to be careful and prevent the rogues who turned into rebels from disturbing them and causing trouble again.

Not long after Gu Er regained Shen County and broke the siege of Haozhou, the rebels went down to several counties in Shouzhou. Including those stationed in various places, there were a total of [-] to [-] soldiers and horses. On the contrary, it became larger and larger, and even sent out a large army, divided into two groups, and headed towards Luzhou, with the tendency to gnaw off Gu Er's tough bone.

However, Gu Er did not rush, gathered the defeated army of the ineffective army in Shen County, and selected from among the soldiers who were born in Shen County, tall and strong men with clean net worth, filled them into the army, and expanded the number of soldiers under his command. The number increased to 4000, and the number of auxiliary troops also increased to [-]. Chen Bing Shen County was not in a hurry to march into Haozhou, but instead trained soldiers in Shen County in a leisurely manner.

The rebel force was originally divided into three parts, one part attacked Shouzhou to the west, the other part attacked Luzhou to the south, and the rest were stationed in Haozhou to prepare for the imperial army in the north and east. At most, there are more than [-] people, which is why the rebels were able to attack the city all the way in Shouzhou, and they were invincible.

Now the rebels on the road to the south were directly defeated by Gu Er, only less than a thousand stragglers bravely fled back to Haozhou, and the rest were either killed or captured, or were washed away, sneaked into the mountains and fled in all directions.

Originally a good situation, a hard bone suddenly popped up and knocked out several of his good teeth. Naturally, the rebels would not sit idly by.

This is also the reason why Gu Er chose to station in Shen County instead of rushing forward.

Gu Er is well versed in the art of war, and he knows that food needs to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road needs to be walked step by step. Now, in the entire Huainan West Road, he is the only one left with strong combat power. The soldiers and horses of Jingxi Road and Jingxi Road are close to the canal in the east, and there is no shortage of soldiers and horses stationed there, but the canal is too long.

If you go all the way into Haozhou regardless of the outcome, let alone the outcome, with the current situation, you will definitely become a lone army. It's not that Gu Er doesn't have the courage to become a lone army, but once you become a lone army, maybe it will be the same as this time. The biggest opportunity in the rebellion war, but relatively speaking, these soldiers under his command will also face a very high loss.

Gu Er has no idea how much will be left in the end.

If it was Gu Er in the past, maybe he would not have considered these things, after all, there are no immortals in war.

But a real famous general wants to use the smallest loss to achieve the greatest victory. If the victory is simply piled up with the lives of the soldiers under his command, there are many people in the world who can do it, so what is there to be commended for? !
These are Wang Zhong's original words, and Gu Er has always kept them firmly in his heart.

This time, Shen County was victorious. Gu Er asked Shi Shi to attack Shen County, attracting the rebels who besieged Luzhou to return, and then pretended to be defeated, and fled all the way. , Hundreds of archers and infantry attacked and killed in the dark, and made dumplings with the stone who pretended to be fleeing.

At Youyang Sheng's house, the old lady had just passed away, and Sheng Wei and the rest of the Sheng family's descendants had to observe their filial piety. Naturally, it was not good to make a big fuss in the Sheng family's old house, so as not to fall into the trap.

Now that it's so chaotic outside, Minglan doesn't intend to make a fuss, as long as her family gathers together to be happy and happy, but Mrs. Sheng thinks it's too crude to do so, and she wronged Minglan.

When Wang Zhong arrived at Youyang with his people, it was already the end of the first lunar month, and there was not much time left before the wedding.

Originally, the original plan was for the two to get married in Tokyo, but now that such a big change has happened, Wang Zhong can only come to the door in person to apologize to Old Madam Sheng.

Those who came to Youyang with Wang Zhong, besides the accompanying guards, were Wang Qian'er, Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei's two sons, Zhang Xin and Zhang Yi.

Minglan and Aunt Wei haven't seen each other for several years, and she misses her so much. Even though she is holding Aunt Wei, she has endless words to say. Looking at Aunt Wei's two cousins, she feels very happy. She expected her biological mother to see her again. I will be happy for my aunt too.

Wang Zhong sincerely apologized to the old lady and explained: "Nowadays the current situation is chaotic and bandits are rampant. If you make a big fuss, you may cause unnecessary trouble!" Wang Zhong looked at Ming Lan next to him: "Therefore only I have wronged and wronged Sixth Sister."

The old lady Sheng has already been done by Minglan, and she also understands that Wang Zhong's consideration is justified. After all, when she and Minglan went south this time, they encountered water thieves. If Wang Zhong hadn't made sufficient preparations in advance , The consequences are unimaginable.

"You have always been thoughtful and prudent in doing things. Now that the situation is like this, you can keep a low profile. You should keep a low profile!" Mrs. Sheng is not unreasonable: "It's just that Ming Lan has been with me since she was eight years old. Keep it up, if you make her feel wronged in the future, my wife will not obey me!"

"Don't worry, old lady!" Wang Zhong cupped his hands and said, "If the sixth younger sister is wronged in the future, this junior will come to you to apologize!"

"You said that yourself!" When referring to her most beloved granddaughter, the always reasonable old lady Sheng also seemed to be irrational.

"A real man keeps his word!"

"It's just that this junior has an unfeeling request!" Wang Zhong changed his voice and suddenly mentioned it.

"A merciless request?" Old Madam Sheng looked at Wang Zhong: "Tell me!"

Wang Zhongdao: "Nowadays there are rebels in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River. They are in a stalemate with the government and army. They have been fighting for several months. Both sides have their own victories. For a while, it may be difficult to distinguish who is better. Bandits are everywhere in the world. If the old lady wants to go back to Bian Beijing, the journey is too far away, and the road is unpredictable, so why not go to Quanzhou for a short stay with Ming Lan and return to Bianjing after the situation settles down."

As soon as Wang Zhong said this, Ming Lan's eyes lit up, and she looked at Old Madam Sheng expectantly.

"I'm going to Quanzhou with you?" Mrs. Sheng didn't expect Wang Zhong's topic to change so suddenly.

I just heard Wang Zhong continue to say: "Although Youyang is good, the current situation is chaotic, the distance from the rebels is too close, there are rogues wandering in the air, although Quanzhou is remote, but the climate is pleasant, it is not an exaggeration to say that the four seasons are like spring, just right Our family also has a lot of property in Quanzhou."

Speaking of this, Wang Zhong couldn't help but glanced at Minglan, and continued: "Sixth sister is still young, if she is directly in charge, I'm afraid she still lacks experience. You know the situation of my family. There is no elder to give advice. If you old man can follow along, with just a little guidance, the sixth younger sister will be able to get started very quickly."

"Grandmother, my granddaughter also thinks what brother Zihou said makes sense! After all, my granddaughter is still young and has never seen much of the world..." No need to discuss, the two began to persuade Mrs. Sheng very tacitly up.

Seeing the two singing together and cooperating tacitly, the old lady Sheng couldn't help showing a smile on her face, she waved her hand and glanced at Minglan, and said intentionally: "Okay, okay, you haven't entered the door yet, so you start talking to him Already!"

Hearing the teasing meaning in Old Madam Sheng's words, Minglan didn't take it seriously, walked up to the old lady cheekily, took the old lady's hand and acted coquettishly: "Grandmother..."

This tactic was extremely effective against Old Madam Sheng, and as expected, under Ming Lan's offensive, Old Madam Sheng quickly compromised and agreed to go to Quanzhou with the two of them.

"Are you Sister Qian?" Pinlan, who came late, saw Wang Qian'er wearing a fur jacket and arrow suit after seeing the ceremony, and immediately leaned forward curiously, and joined Wang Qianer Say hello.

Wang Qian'er nodded and looked at Pinlan and said, "You must be Aunt Pinlan!"

"How do you know it's me?" Pinlan asked curiously.

Wang Qian'er said: "Third Uncle said that there is only one Aunt Pinlan in the eldest house of Youyang Sheng's family, who is about the same age as Aunt Minglan! And Aunt Pinlan and Aunt Shulan have somewhat similar eyebrows and eyes."

Pinlan moved closer to Wang Qian'er and asked in a low voice, "Sister Minglan said that you are so strong in martial arts that even Xiaotao is no match for you. Is it true?"

But Wang Qian'er shook her head and said, "I just learned a little bit of three-legged cat's kung fu from my third uncle, so there's no such thing as high martial arts."

As she got older, maybe it was because of the pressure Wang Zhong instilled in her, Wang Qian'er gradually lost a bit of girlish innocence, but instead became a bit more calm and old-fashioned, and she didn't talk as much as before. up.

But Pinlan said with great interest: "I have seen Xiaotao's strength, four or five women who do rough work, are strong and strong, and she knocked them down in two or three strokes. You are stronger than Xiaotao, definitely He's a master."

Wang Qian'er said: "Sister Xiaotao is not bad in talent, and she has great perseverance. She is older than me and has more strength than me. I may not be the opponent of Sister Xiaotao."

"Why don't you compete with Xiaotao some other day!" Pinlan said with great interest, it's not a big deal just to watch the fun!

Wang Qian'er smiled, neither agreed nor refused.

Early in the morning of the next day, Pinlan rushed to the wing room where Wang Qian'er was staying. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Wang Qian'er practicing a spear in the courtyard. In Wang Qian'er's hands, the big gun with red tassels was as nimble as a swimming dragon.

There were no fancy tricks, just sticking a spear, but in Pinlan's view, the spear that was supposed to be a dead thing seemed to come alive in Wang Qian'er's hands.

Since that day, Pinlan has come to look for Wang Qian'er every day. If the current situation is not chaotic, and it is the end of winter and early spring, and the weather is cold, Pinlan may have led Wang Qianer to visit the whole of Youyang. .

In order to avoid accidents, Wang Zhong and his party only stayed in Youyang for a few days. On the first day of February, Shenglao Tiantai and Ming Lan, who had packed their bags, followed Wang Zhong from Sheng's house to Quanzhou.

Accompanying them were two brothers Changsong Changwu and sisters Shulan and Pinlan. Originally, Sheng Wei meant that the whole family would go to Quanzhou, but now that rebels are rampant, Youyang is not too far away from Haozhou. There can be no one to sit in the township, so the sons and daughters are only allowed to go to Quanzhou with Wang Zhong and the others, and the two of them stay in the township, and then they have to keep filial piety for the old lady.

Wang Zhong, Changsong, and Changwu rode on horseback, followed by nearly twenty carriages, except for Minglan, the old lady Sheng, Shulan and Pinlan's cars and luggage carts, the rest of the dozen or so carriages They are all the dowry given to Minglan by Sheng Wei and Li's couple. There are all kinds of pearls and emeralds, agate jade, coral brocade and so on, and they are all very precious and rare things.

Forty or fifty guards with knives were scattered around the convoy, and a dozen healthy servants carrying sticks surrounded the carriage, the people and the female envoys.

The convoy with a total of [-] vehicles and nearly [-] people is not too small. It left Youyang City in a hurry and headed straight for Jinling. Because there were female relatives and envoys in the car, The speed is not fast.

After noon, everyone had just finished resting in a mountain depression, and continued to drive forward for only a few miles. Suddenly, a bunch of rogues appeared in the nearby forest, roaring and rushing towards the convoy. One 200 people.

"Don't panic! Form a team to fend off the enemy!" Wang Zhong raised his arms and shouted, the guards immediately, Wang Zhong drew out two iron maces, Chang Wu carried a long stick, Chang Song led his servants to guard around Old Madam Sheng's carriage , The guards drew out their long knives, set up simple wooden shields, took out bows and arrows from the chariot, and guarded around the chariot formation.

However, in just a few breaths, one's own side has already made the safest disposal, which is the result of Wang Zhong's years of training.

If Mrs. Sheng and Minglan were not there, Wang Zhong would have rushed up with his men to fight these bandits.

As the saying goes: When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

Wang Zhong looked at the rogues who were yelling to kill the generals like a tide, held a bronze-colored iron mace in each hand, turned his head to look at Changwu next to him, suddenly the corners of his mouth raised an arc, and asked: "Brother Changwu, how dare you Rush with me?"

Changwu flicked the long stick in his hand, and drew a beautiful arc in the air. The tip of the stick pointed obliquely at the ground, with his head held high, looking at the rogues who had rushed to the front of the car formation and fought with the guards, their eyes were full of eagerness to try. , grasped the rein with his left hand and pulled it in a circle, put it on his hand and pulled it hard, the horse under his crotch raised its head and raised its hoof, neighing loudly, and spit out white mist from its mouth and nose.

Changbai said confidently and loudly: "Why don't you dare!"

In the convoy, as soon as she saw the bandits, Wang Qian'er took out a leather armor from the box and put it on her body, tied her hair with a red string, and then under Pinlan's puzzled eyes, Pull out a four-foot-long wooden box from under the car seat, and take out the spear that is divided into three sections.

"Aunt Pinlan, don't get out of the carriage!" As soon as the words fell, she got out of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, assembled the spear, took the reins handed over by the guard, stepped on the stirrups and jumped into the seat. He got on the horse's back, took the long spear from the guard, pointed the horizontal spear obliquely at the ground, and beat the horse towards Wang Zhong.

Pinlan had already opened the curtain and chased him out. Standing on the shaft of the carriage, he stared blankly at the back of Wang Qian'er, who skillfully got on the horse and walked away with the gun, with a look full of astonishment.

"Third Uncle!" Wang Qian'er rode her horse and ran to Wang Zhong's side, then reined in her horse and stopped: "I'm going too!"

Wang nodded his head, did not refuse, but told Yu Chuer who was next to him: "Junior Second! Be sure to protect Sister Qian later!"

Yu Chuer nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Third Master!"

Wang Zhong turned his head to Wang Qian'er again and said, "Follow me closely!"

"En!" Wang Qian'er had a solemn face, but her eyes were full of eagerness to try.

Wang Zhong pulled the reins, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and shouted: "Drive!" Immediately, the horse galloped, like an arrow leaving the string, charging towards the bandits.

Wang Qian'er was holding a steel long spear, and Chang Wu, who was holding a cooked copper stick, followed on horseback. On the left and right were Yu Chuer and several guards on horseback, all of whom were holding long-handled plain knives.

But Wang Zhong, holding a pair of four-foot-long copper maces, rushed into the rogues like a tiger into a pack of wolves. The copper maces flew, and each of the rogues immediately seemed to be hit by a galloping horse. The same thing flew out, blood staining the sky, but in an instant, a passage was plowed among the rogues, and the speed of the horse gradually slowed down.

Although Wang Qian'er is a girl, with a steel gun in her hand, she is as nimble as a snake and as fast as lightning. Every time the steel gun in her hand stabs out, it will leave a blood hole on the rogue's body.

Several people used Wang Zhong as their spearhead, and fought in and out among the hundreds of rogues, but after a few charges, the rest of the rogues were frightened and fled in all directions screaming in terror, and they dispersed , two by two, chasing and killing the remaining rogues.

But in just one cup of tea, the one or two hundred bandits who suddenly killed were completely dispersed, some died, some fled, and some timid ones directly dropped their weapons, knelt down on the ground, and chose to surrender.

Standing on the shaft of the chariot, leaning on the bucket, Pinlan looked forward to seeing the heroic posture, following Wang Zhong in and out among the thieves several times, and Wang Qian'er, who shot out like a dragon, all of a sudden, unexpectedly A little lost.

Another cup of tea, the battle was completely over, the scattered bandits fled into the forest one after another, Wang Zhong and others stopped chasing them, and those who surrendered were handed over their weapons and kowtowed for mercy.

Looking at these 'rogues' carrying bags, tall, short, fat, thin, old and weak, Wang Zhong is not a murderer, so naturally he would not kill them, he only surrendered their weapons.

After asking about the origins of this group of rogues, they were given two choices.

"My official is Wang Zhong, the general judge of Quanzhou. Now I will give you two choices. Either I will send you to Jinling and let the Jinling Yamen deal with you, or follow me to Quanzhou. When I arrive in Quanzhou, I will arrange for you! Help you Settled down in Quanzhou."

"Sir, what about our crimes?" a bold prisoner asked boldly.

"Good question! You have all violated the laws of the country, but this year you were all innocent people who were coerced by rebels. You were only bewitched by the thieves to make a big mistake. Now that you have repented, I will give you a chance to reform yourselves. , but I am willing that anyone who is sentenced to Quanzhou by Ben Tong will be able to settle in Quanzhou after a year of work and rest, and let the past go."

"A friendly reminder to you all: during the work and rest period in Quanzhou, there will be two cooked meals and one gruel a day, and two sets of clothes in spring and summer!"

"Two dry meals a day, and clothes?" The rogues who were kneeling on the ground looked up at Wang Zhong one after another: "Is what the Lord Tongju said true?"

"Ben Tong's judgment is full of promises, and there is no falsehood!" Wang Zhong said loudly.
