Daming: From the end of Hongwu

289 Chapter 287 - Ji Gang and the Remnant Army

There are always some secrets in the world that cannot be told to others, everyone has them, no one is an exception, but for Zhu Di, he is different from ordinary people, because he is destined to shine in the history books, and then let the unknown How many generations of people have come to study and yearn for it.

Therefore, his secret is no longer as simple as just his secret.

That is a period of historical truth that countless people want to find out and find out.

But at this moment, for Zhen Wu and other people who lived in the same era as Zhu Di, no one would be curious and want to find out Zhu Di's secrets. For them, they won this battle.

This is enough.

In life and death, they fought for life again.

……

As the sky was getting darker and darker, the exhausted Zhen Wu led his army back to the camp. Cao Xiaoman hurriedly asked people to fetch water and boil the water. to work.

Things after the war were not necessarily easier for him, the right army leader, than during the war.

Wounded soldiers, prisoners, captured materials, camp defense, etc., everything was enough for him to be busy for a long time. Zhen Wu endured the exhaustion of his body, raised his spirit, and Meng Shan, Zheng Heng and others took care of these things.

Before I knew it, the sky was bright again.

Zhen Wu stretched his waist, looked at the light shining through the military tent, and sighed: "The sky is so early now."

"Yeah, the days are getting longer and longer, and it's getting more and more convenient for us to deal with things."

Meng Shan got up and blew out the lights, and also moved his body. This night they were either discussing things in the tent, or went to inspect and count the wounded soldiers, supplies and prisoners. They were already a little dizzy by now.

Zhen Wu looked at Meng Shan's shaky figure, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'm busy now, don't hold on anymore, let the people below do the rest, go back and rest , Waiting until the afternoon, I guess I have to go to His Highness to discuss matters, so it is reasonable to take the time to rest for a while."

Meng Shan and the others didn't try to be brave, they all agreed.

Afterwards, they walked towards the outside of the tent one by one, and when they got outside, Zheng Heng saw Zhen Wu also coming out, and asked curiously: "Is there anything else you need to do, General Right?"

"fine."

After Zhen Wu responded casually, he looked up sadly at the distant sunrise, and muttered softly, "Go to Chen Mao and have a look."

Chen Mao is Chen Heng's son, and he has been in the army with Chen Heng for three years.

Zheng Heng saw the sadness in Zhen Wu's eyes, and sighed, he has been in the army for so many years, he is used to seeing life and death, but the death of a general like him still touched his heart quite a bit.

The general will inevitably die in battle.

This is destiny.

Since ancient times, there have been only a few people who have achieved success and achieved a good death.

They are really like moths, for the fame and titles in the lampshade, they hit their heads and bleed.

Thinking of this, for a while, Zheng Heng felt a little lonely because of his good mood of winning the battle.

Zhen Wu didn't say any more to Zheng Heng and the others, and rode on his horse and headed towards Chen Mao's camp. Along the way, many soldiers began to change their defenses. When they saw Zhen Wu, they all avoided and saluted. In the past, Zhen Wu often I laughed and chatted with them, but today he really didn't have the mood and energy, so he hurried all the way to Chen Mao's camp.

As soon as he arrived here, Zhen Wu found that the atmosphere was a bit different compared to other places.

Here are all Chen Heng's old troops, and these old generals stayed up all night like Zhen Wu, but Zhen Wu was busy with work, but they all crowded here with Chen Mao, giving Chen Heng the first place to leave this world one night.

When these people saw Zhen Wu approaching, they stood up to say hello one by one. Zhen Wu all nodded in response, but their eyes fell on Chen Mao who was coming towards him.

Chen Mao's eyes were red and bloodshot, and his figure seemed to have lost weight overnight.

"General right..." Chen Mao walked to Zhen Wu's side, and just as he called out a title, tears came out of his mouth, and he suppressed all the words that followed him back into his throat.

Zhen Wu sighed, patted him on the shoulder, walked over him, walked to Chen Heng's body, then bent down and lifted off a corner of the white cloth covering Chen Heng's body, and finally looked at Chen Heng carefully. Heng's appearance.

He knew that this was the last time he saw Chen Heng.

From then on, Chen Heng became an underground man, separating Yin and Yang from them.

After seeing him for the last time, Zhen Wu returned to Chen Mao again. He suppressed the sadness in his heart, paused and said, "Let people from the army come to see your father for the last time in these two days, and then I will Let someone send your father back to Daning for burial."

Chen Mao endured the sound of crying and hummed.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhen Wu said again: "Now that the weather is getting hotter, if your father can't keep it, he must be sent to Daning, not to mention that your mother and the others also need to see your father for the last time. It's just that we are fighting now. It hasn’t stopped, it’s a bit inappropriate for you to send it back in person to handle the funeral affairs, but you don’t have to worry, if you want to send it back in person to bury your father, you can tell me and I will find a way to arrange it for you.”

Chen Mao tried his best to stabilize his mind, he wanted to have fun, shook his head and said: "Thank you, General You, but I think my father definitely doesn't want to see me, because he left the army for his funeral, let alone What's more, Ping An is not dead, how can I go back!"

Chen Mao's voice became more and more harsh after speaking.

Zhen Wu heard Chen Mao's voice full of hatred, and suddenly felt emotional in his heart. People who have never been on the battlefield only look at the battlefield with statistics. They are fighters, but those who have been on the battlefield know that each and every data is a blood feud.

How can blood feud be forgotten? !
Thinking of this, Zhen Wu didn't persuade much, nodded and said: "Since you are determined to do so, then clean up your mood these few days, so as not to affect the future battle, I don't want to see you on the battlefield again."

Chen Mao gritted his teeth heavily and nodded.

Zhen Wu went on to say: "As for the responsibility left by your father, you can take it up for me. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu began to walk outside, but suddenly turned around while walking, and asked again: "I heard your father said before that you have a ten-year-old daughter?"

Chen Mao was taken aback for a moment, and nodded in response without knowing why: "My eldest daughter is now 11 years old."

Zhen Wu nodded suddenly, and said casually: "My memory is wrong, but it's pretty good." After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu ignored Chen Mao, and waved his hand as he walked out, signaling Chen Mao not to worry about it. What should he be busy with?

After Zhen Wu's figure disappeared from the eyes of Chen Mao and the others, Chen Mao was still a little confused by Zhen Wu's last words.

Seeing this, Chen Heng's deputy general next to him patted Chen Mao's head speechlessly: "What are you thinking about, just remember not to randomly assign someone to the eldest niece. Anyway, the eldest niece is still young and has to be filial. You No loss."

"You mean that General You intends to marry me?" Chen Mao asked after he realized it, but then he shook his head and said, "No, General You's eldest son, I remember he was still a baby."

The deputy general didn't bother to explain to Chen Mao, so he said angrily, "Think about it again."

Chen Mao thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized: "Your general's younger brother?"

The deputy general did not answer directly, but shook his head and said: "Okay, don't think about it, at least a few years later, there is nothing to think about, maybe General You just said it casually."

Chen Mao was right when he thought about it, and then put the matter aside for the time being, and stayed by his father's side again with the others.

……

After the war, the Yan army rested for a few days, and then moved again with the momentum of a big victory, and began to march towards Dezhou. Li Jinglong's hundreds of thousands of troops were scattered, and he couldn't gather much in a matter of months. troops.

Naturally, Texas will not have much resistance.

The Yan army went south all the way, like a broken bamboo, crossing the river, Jingzhou, and five days after Li Jinglong fled to Dezhou, he also appeared near the city of Dezhou.

They were extremely victorious, and the entire city of Dezhou was so frightened that it was closed tightly, not daring to let anyone in, and the guards on the city also guarded the gate tremblingly.

At the same time, several scholars who were studying abroad happened to be blocked outside the city, and misfortunes never come singly. Suddenly, heavy rain came at night, and everyone was drenched in chicken soup. The last group of defeated remnants hid here.

Although this group of remnants suffered a defeat, it was not a problem to deal with a few scholars. They directly robbed the group of money, and then beat each of them, and then let these scholars take refuge in the ruined temple out of mercy. rain.

In the middle of the night, the hungry scholars saw that all the remnants of the army had fallen asleep, so they dared to gasp for breath. One of them complained in a low voice: "This group of dead Qiuba, how come they don't know how to fight the Yan army? What's the matter with bullying us scholars in the ruined temple."

These scholars were taken aback by this sentence, and quickly looked towards the remnant army on the other side, seeing that the remnant army did not respond and were all asleep, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

One complained: "Hey, please be careful with your words, if the soldiers hear this, they don't know how to deal with us."

The scholar named Hezhi rolled his eyes: "You are timid, so what do you think we should do now? We have been robbed of our money and can't enter Dezhou City. How can we go back to Dongchang?"

The man spread his hands, sighed and said, "What else can I do, I said earlier that we should go south to study, but you are lucky, you know that there is a war here, but you still encourage us to come here. Let’s get down to this situation.”

"Zerun, what you said is inappropriate. Although I advocated it at the time, you also agreed. Now I am ashamed to blame me. If I really complain, I would like to blame you. If you are not kind-hearted , insist on bringing that broom star, how could we be so unlucky."

In short, these words did not hide from others, and they were clearly conveyed to the ears of all the scholars.

For a moment, all the scholars looked at a scholar who had been quietly leaning against the temple wall. The scholar was sitting a little distance from the others, which was enough to see that the scholar was not well-known. In the situation where he was excluded, he was a bit tall, with a broad back and long arms, not like a scholar, but more like a soldier.

At this moment, he was watched by all the scholars, not only did he not feel timid and flustered, but a disdainful arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said strangely: "Yes, yes, it is all my fault, Ji Gang. It was me, Ji Gang, who made the Yan army win the battle, and scared the city of Dezhou tightly." Shut up, it was me, Ji Gang, who made it rain from God again, causing you to hide in the ruined temple and be robbed, but you are so courageous, why were you the first one to take out money and send it to the military masters just now! There is him Mother's face said me."

He Zhi was immediately annoyed by the words: "You deviant and expelled from the school, how can you be a hero if you know current affairs."

"Hehe." Ji Gang disdained to speak, and responded with a mocking smile.

But this made He Zhi break his defense even more. Just as he was about to refute, Ze Run hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said: "Everyone is a fallen person in the end of the world, so stop arguing. If you have this skill, why don't you discuss it, and what to do next."

"What else can we do? Let's sneak away when the rain subsides." He Zhi said angrily.

But Ze Run frowned: "We don't have any property, so it's easy to sneak away, but what about after that?"

At this time, Ji Gang suddenly said: "I have a way."

"How?" Zerun asked.

The others also looked at Ji Gang for a while.

Ji Gang looked sideways at the sleeping remnant soldiers, pouted his lips at the weapons beside them, grinned fiercely and said: "Isn't there a knife, and they are sleeping, why don't we grab the knife and take advantage of their deep sleep? , kill them with one knife, with such money, maybe you can take their heads to the King of Yan to ask for a reward."

Between the sky and the earth outside, there was a flash of thunder.

These words fell with the thunder, which shocked all the scholars.

They looked at Ji Gang in shock, and at this moment they even felt that Ji Gang's smile seemed bloody.

How can this be a scholar!
It is not an exaggeration to say that they are bandits. How can it be so easy to say that killing people and taking money is so easy.

And at this time, on the other side of the remnant army, the sergeant in charge of night watch opened his fake eyes at this moment, and he suddenly echoed Ji Gang.

"It is indeed a good way."

The sound seemed to explode out of thin air, reaching the ears of the scholars, and their minds couldn't be at peace for a long time. They all looked to the other side in astonishment, and saw the remnant army guarding the night grinning at them Waiting, as if waiting for them to go over and fight him.

Aren't those remnants all asleep? !

How could anyone listen to their small talk without saying a word? !
The scholars were shocked by this incident, and then the next moment, they saw the defender holding the waist knife out of its sheath, and then heavily inserted it into the sheath.

The groaning of the waist knife was accompanied by the cold snort of the night watch sergeant, instantly making their hair stand on end, each of them held their breath in fright, and looked at the night watch sergeant in fear.

These scholars have no life experience and can be naive.

But those remnants are not fools.

They didn't kill the scholars cruelly, and they didn't tie up the scholars, but it was absolutely impossible not to leave the night watchman behind.

The night watchman had been listening to the scholars chatting and didn't want to talk to them at first, but they turned their minds on him, so he had no choice but to warn the scholars.

Lest these scholars really play up crooked ideas, not only killing their own lives, but also delaying their rest.

And this warning from the night watchman was very effective, causing those scholars to be terrified all night and dare not make any wrong ideas. Even after the rain stopped, no one dared to slip away.

On the second day, after three poles in the sun, the rest of the remnants woke up one by one. They simply ate something, and then planned to flee south again.

However, before leaving, the night watchman and the other remnants talked about what the scholars discussed last night.

A grumpy remnant army let out a hey and said, "This damn thing is still fighting less."

After finishing speaking, he greeted his brothers, rushed to the scholar again and started punching and kicking.

The scholar was hungry and beaten last night, and now he stayed up all night and was beaten and kicked again. The psychological defense line of each was broken in an instant, crying for mercy, only Ji Gang shut his mouth tightly and said nothing Even if several scholars betrayed him, saying that it was his attention last night that allowed him to be taken care of by more remnants of the army, he still kept his mouth shut, but hatred was projected in his eyes.

This hatred is aimed at the remnants of the army, at the scholars, and at this world.

However, coincidentally, when the scholar was being beaten, there was a burst of fast and chaotic footsteps outside the ruined temple. These people were wearing Yan army scout armor. After entering the ruined temple, they saw this The scene is all stunned.

Afterwards, the leader of the Yan army scout laughed, and he turned his head to his brothers and said: "I didn't think so, I met a few remnants of the army, the brothers copied the guys, chopped them up and took them back, please reward them."

As soon as his voice fell, there was a constant sound of drawing swords when the Yan army's elite scouts were neutral.

In the awe-inspiring light of the sword, the eyes of the scouts were fearless and fearless, appearing extremely sturdy and terrifying.

Ji Gang was beaten and crawled on the ground, looking at these well-trained scouts in embarrassment, envy suddenly burst out in his eyes, and the remnants who were still arrogant just now were frightened when they saw the elite of the Yan army Abandon the knife and surrender directly.

The leader of the Yan army's scouts looked a little disappointed.

He just wanted to abandon these people, but then he thought about it, this place is very close to Dezhou City, maybe these people are useful.

So, with a big wave of his hand, he said, "Tie them all up and take them back, let our hundred households see if it's useful."

"Yes." The other scouts took the lead.

Then, the scouts neatly linked up all the people in the ruined temple, and all the people went back to the camp majestically.

It's just that this encounter made the scholars even more terrified, they muttered bitterly in their hearts, no matter what bad luck happened to them.

But this is where it is.

On the way, Yan Jun's scouts disliked the slow walking of the scholars, and threatened them viciously: "If you keep talking about your mother, I will kill you with one knife."

The scholars were almost scared to death by these words.

……

When a group of people entered the Yan Army barracks, it happened that Zhu Di led Zhen Wu out of the camp slowly, and the group of scouts quickly dodged. At this time, the scholar named He Zhi looked at Zhen Wu suspiciously. Wu, the more you look at it, the more familiar it becomes.

After he thought that Zhen Wu might be his only life-saving straw, he quickly shouted to test: "Brother Huang Qian, with Bai..."

These scouts, the remnant army and several other scholars all looked at Hezhi for a while, but Hezhi still shouted loudly as if he didn't notice it.

Zhen Wu was talking next to Zhu Di at the moment, when he suddenly heard someone calling Huang Qian, he turned around in a daze.

Huang Qian was his usual pseudonym, and Yu Bai was his pseudonym.

After Zhen Wu turned his head, he saw at a glance that one of the embarrassed scholars was calling Huang Qian's name. He looked carefully, and gradually remembered, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He has dealt with only a few scholars in his life, but he didn't expect to meet them here today.
