On the early morning of the [-]th, in the camp of the Runing Army.

The soldiers packed up the horses, checked the carts, and prepared to set off in formation.And Wu Shigong also had a final conversation with left-behind officials such as Deng Qifan and Xue Yongli.

"At first I didn't want to stay in the big camp for a day. But there is no other way. I can't take a break! Horses can't bear it, even people can't bear it! On the way back, dozens of people have been frostbitten and sick. There is no hot food, no The days of hot water are really hard!" Wu Shigong sighed.

Deng Qifan hurriedly reported: "My lord! The students have already ordered them to go down. Food and beverages are prepared in Zhuangzi along the way, so that the march of the Runing Army will not be delayed. Xue Yong and Sanhe who walked past are a little bit more difficult. I don't know where they all went. here."

"The snow fell too hard a few days ago, and their road is not easy. I heard that the Shaanxi bandits have also arrived in Ningling County, and that son-of-a-bitch Yu Zilian even took Yao Liang's militia away. Now Ning Qian Qi's several hundred people in Ling County are defending. I hope they can hold on. I have already ordered a regiment of Yongzi to rush to Ningling County on the [-]th anyway."

"Qian Ba ​​is an old man who always follows your lord, so feel free to have him around!" Deng Qifan comforted.He is still used to addressing the inherent official titles of the Ming Dynasty, not the new official titles invented by Wu Shigong.

"I hope so! Oh——!" Wu Shigong sighed.

In fact, the intrusion into the camp at this time has completely blocked the connection between Ningling County and the Qianhusuo Fortress, and this line of defense has also lost its original function.Therefore, if Ningling County is really lost, the situation will not be much worse.But after all, there are more than 800 soldiers of the Runing Army in Ningling County.Besides, it is much better not to lose than to lose.

At this moment, Han Shi brought Renlaikan over, and Renlaikuang had grown impatient for a long time. It snorted at Wu Shigong twice, and the nose was steaming.

Wu Shigong slapped Renlai Crazy's ass.Smiling and cursing: "You are impatient! It will be ready soon!" Then he confessed to Xue Yongli: "Uncle Yongli! The Shaanxi bandits on the South Road didn't hurt their bones at all. So they will come again at any time. Ye County has our heavy troops , I left Shumo and Zuge there again, it shouldn’t be a big deal, but it would be troublesome if they go by other ways. As long as they don’t get close to our Runing Army’s territory, it’s still okay for this group of Shaanxi bandits to attack Nanyang Fucheng. Xiahuguang, we don’t care about him. But if they enter our Runing Mansion, according to the original plan, we will give up all of Runan.”

Then Wu Shigong said to Deng Qifan: "We must speed up the evacuation of the people in Runan, and withdraw all the militia groups and village guards scattered in the wild to the county town and Zhuangzi. There is no need to keep people outside. With such a small number of people, it is impossible to send them out." What a great use. Now our Runing Army can only defend key cities to the death."

"Understood!" Both Deng Qifan and Xue Yongli nodded in agreement.

Wu Shigong jumped on Renlaikuang, Renlaikuang immediately jumped a few times happily, Han Shi also immediately got on a poor horse beside him and followed Wu Shigong.Wu Shigong waved to those officials, and then entered the marching ranks of the Runing Army.

Not long after.A shed with a gauze tent in front appeared.Han Shi reminded: "Master! It's the wives, young masters, and ladies."

After returning to the camp, Wu Shigong lived in the camp with all the officers and soldiers of the Runing Army.No one went home to visit relatives.So when they heard that the Runing Army was leaving today, the family members of the Runing Army spontaneously came to see him off.

Liu Yuan, the new housekeeper of the inner house, stood in front of the shed.As soon as he saw Wu Shigong's personal troops approaching, he knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Shigong, and reminded loudly to the shed: "Master is well! The ladies are all here."

Liu Yuan was the Zhao'an bandit who was seriously injured while beating Li Yaozi. Later, he stayed in the inner house and was promoted to the second housekeeper.After Wu Shigong released Chang Meng, he became Wu Shigong's chief housekeeper step by step.

I heard Liu Yuan's reminder.The wives and children all stood up behind the gauze tent and saluted Wu Shigong: "Hi, my husband is well!" "Greetings to my lord father!"

Wu Shigong nodded as the head of the family in front of everyone, and said: "I am going to fight for my husband. The family affairs also need to be taken care of by my wives. It is difficult to stay at home this New Year. I will come back and reunite with my family after winning a battle for my husband."

Li Xin, the representative in the inner house, immediately replied with a blessing: "Everything is fine at home! Please rest assured, my husband! I hope that my husband will return in triumph as soon as possible, and I will also prepare thin wine to cleanse my husband."

Wu Shigong nodded solemnly, but thought in his heart: "How come the family has turned into a grand ceremony? It's really awkward!"

But at this moment, the thick-headed Wu Chengying came out from behind the gauze tent, and the woman who was serving him also came out and grabbed Wu Chengying's arm.Wu Chengying searched left and right, and immediately found Wu Shigong, and then he happily shouted to Wu Shigong: "Father, cluck cluck!"

Seeing his son, although it was impossible to get off the horse, Wu Shigong still couldn't help making a face at him.This made Wu Chengying even more joyful. While he was struggling to break free from his mother-in-law, he didn't know where to take out a small wooden knife, and he hacked at Wu Shigong, causing the soldiers around him to laugh .

And seeing his second brother come out to be naughty, Wu Shigong's children also appeared from behind the gauze tent, clamoring to get his father's attention.

Wu Shigong could only stop, got off the horse and came to the children, touched his head eastward and twisted his cheek westward.After playing around for a while, I reluctantly left and returned to the team.

But when Wu Shigong got on the horse, he saw Tao Xin waving his hands in secret. Wu Shigong looked back and saw Xiao Jie crawling back behind the gauze curtain like a frightened rabbit.

"Grass!" Wu Shigong felt uncomfortable again.He immediately said to Tao Xin in a strange manner, "Little Xinzi! Are you too young to be afraid of going to the battlefield? Do you want to leave you at home and have sex with others?"

"It's okay!" Unexpectedly, Tao Xin didn't hear the sarcasm in Wu Shigong's words at all, "I am the Qianhu of the Qianhu Office in Ningling County. If there is trouble there, who will I go to if I don't?"

Wu Shigong was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood, it was an eye-opener to meet such a stupid apprentice himself!The most irritating thing is that he is still showing off his excellence in front of his white body, trying to use that official position of thousands of households to suppress himself?So Wu Shigong raised his horsewhip, pretending to beat him, but he didn't expect an exclamation from behind, Wu Shigong looked back, at some point Xiaojie got out of the gauze again.

Wu Shigong was suddenly discouraged.I can only sigh: "Girls are extroverted!"

The team gradually left the camp.Wu Shigong was startled suddenly, both sides of the road were full of people seeing him off.Most of those people were family members of the soldiers of the Runing Army. When they heard that the Runing Army was going out again this morning, they waited on both sides of the road outside the camp early in the morning.

When these family members saw their own family members in the team, they greeted each other from time to time.And those Runing Army soldiers who were called by their family also responded in a low voice.It was only because of the discipline of marching that they dared not leave their ranks.

And when Wu Shigong appeared, those family members immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Shigong.When Wu Shigong saw it, he quickly ordered: "Help up those folks quickly. Don't let them freeze to death on the snow."

Wu Shigong and his soldiers got off their horses and greeted the people on the side of the road on foot.From time to time, he bumped into a few people he knew, and Wu Shigong stopped to chat with them.

An old man said to Wu Shigong: "My lord, you must win the battle this time!"

Wu Shigong understood the meaning of the old man, so he replied loudly: "Old man, I took my sons and daughters to defend our home and country! Not only to win the battle, but also to bring all the sons and daughters home safely."

Wu Shigong's promise immediately spread among those relatives.As if the promise had magical powers, they all believed in it, so bursts of cheers came from both sides of the road.

Zhou Junwu, who received the cold reception again, shrank behind Wu Shigong's personal soldiers. Seeing the lively scene in front of him, he thought of the nearly [-] strong army in Wu Shigong's hands, and immediately frowned, wondering what he was thinking. . (To be continued..)
