Bright Spring

Countless soldiers cheered when they saw his movements and heard his energetic shouts.

Miao Jin was also shocked suddenly, she felt very miraculous.A dejected team can become elated in an instant!

Suddenly the sky and the earth brightened, and the sun revealed a dazzling sunlight from the dark clouds.Miao Jin looked up in a daze, and saw that the black cloud was surrounded by golden light.

The civil servant Hou Hai's voice suddenly shouted: "A revelation from heaven, this is the luck of the King of Han!"

All the troops looked up at the golden light in the sky!

With a metal rubbing sound, Zhu Gaoxu pulled out his waist knife, which he had hardly used for several months, and tilted it toward the side marching brigade; Run up.The soldiers nearby were splashed with mud and water, but everyone's enthusiasm remained undiminished.

Countless people raised their swords, guns and firecrackers, and shouted at the running King of Han. The shouts echoed in the mountains, shaking the mountains.From time to time, Zhu Gaoxu would shout a word with all his strength.

"My king's typhoid fever is cured! The victory of the Han King's army is just ahead!"

"The army of the King of Han is victorious in every battle, never giving up! This king will never fall!"

Shouts from all sides: "The King of Han is our king..."

Zhu Gaoxu rode alone for more than a mile, and ran back again. He shouted while running, still looking very brave!

But Miaojin understood what his body was like, and she felt cramps in her chest, but she couldn't stop him.There was pain and confusion in her eyes, and she couldn't understand why the man who was so weak not long ago suddenly became like black iron.

He cried helplessly in a daze, grasping Miaojin's painful low moans, the fear and timidity in those inarticulate words seemed to have just happened before his eyes.And now he seemed to be a different person.

Miao Jin feels that she has known Zhu Gaoxu for many years, but still doesn't understand him well...

Originally, Miao Jin thought that Zhu Gaoxu would just put on a show and let things go.But then, Zhu Gaoxu and the guards of the Chinese army, under the flag of the army with the word "Han" written on it, actually rode along in public!

The continuous march of a day will not be less than two and a half hours at least, at least until the afternoon.

Miao Jin silently followed behind Zhu Gaoxu, and saw that he was not slumped on the horse's back, but was riding the horse silently while pressing the handle of the knife with one hand and holding the rein with the other.

The initial uproar and impassioned enthusiasm gradually subsided.The short-lived sunshine has also disappeared, and there is a light rain again, and it is getting heavier and heavier.

At this moment, the burly armored figure was in front of Miao Jin, silent and quiet, but it made her feel a suffocating force even more.The tenacity of patience is as silent as a mountain pressing down on the top.

Occasionally, even Miaojin seemed to believe that there seemed to be divine power, or something invisible but real; otherwise, how could a flesh and blood body last so long?

4 Chapter Eighty

In the yard outside the lobby of the government office in Pingle Mansion, the wind and rain were still blowing.The wind brought light rain to the eaves, and the eaves and thresholds of some office buildings were wet.

There are quite a few officials and several military generals in the lobby. They are either sitting or standing, whispering to each other from time to time, as if they are waiting for something.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but everyone is obviously not waiting for the festive celebration, the atmosphere is not right.

What's more, Wu Gao's official army left Pingle Mansion by crossing the river at midnight on the twelfth three days ago; when Pingle City's troops were very empty, the current army of the Han King's rebel army (Chen Zhen's Ministry) had already approached the city.

The envoy of the rebel army outside the city is in the signing room behind the lobby.None of the officials in the government office clamored to send the envoy to the official army camp, and they were all waiting for the result of the discussion between the magistrate and the envoy inside.

Chen Yongsheng is young, about 30 years old.He became the governor of a government at a young age, entirely because of the chance that Emperor Taizong personally decreed his promotion.

The rebel envoy stood in front of the table. He was a young scribe. He cupped his hands and said, "Master Chen, don't hesitate any longer! As your envoy said before the King of Han, Wu Gao once promised that he would protect the safety of Pingyue Mansion. Did he guarantee it? Wu Gaojun is currently being pursued by the army of the King of Han, fleeing northward in the rain all night..."

Hearing this, Chen Yongcheng faintly showed anger in his eyes.Apparently, it doesn't feel good for anyone to be blatantly deceived.

However, Chen Yongsheng didn't show his anger clearly, he said calmly: "Emperor Taizong has shown kindness to me, I dare not forget it."

Before the words fell to the ground, the messenger immediately said: "The king of Han is also the son of the first emperor. It is because the first emperor was murdered by the villains that the king of Han raised his troops to question the crime! You can't let the first emperor down."

"This is a statement without any real evidence or conclusive facts. As officials, we obey the orders of the Guangxi chief envoy, and the chief envoy obeys the orders of the imperial court. The rank and order are orderly, and people and ministers have their duties." Chen Yongsheng frowned.

The messenger hurriedly shook his head and said: "If you wait for the King of Han's army to enter the city, Mr. Chen's answer like this may not be good at both ends...Mr. Chen, you must continue to be disturbed by it!"

Chen Yongsheng said: "You go back first. I will discuss with my colleagues in Pingyue Mansion."

The envoy persuaded again: "Prefect Chen, you must not be confused..."

Chen Yongsheng raised his hand to stop the envoy, and said: "General Chen, please wait for the news at the south gate. Don't take this word with you."

After seeing off the envoy, Chen Yongsheng walked to the lobby.All the civil and military men gathered around one after another, impatiently asking: "How does Tang Zun feel?"

Chen Yongsheng said: "I am an official of the Ming Dynasty, and I only take orders from the imperial court and the Guangxi chief envoy. How can I be coerced by the rebels?"

Everyone looked heavy after hearing this, and the lobby was very quiet.

Chen Yongsheng looked around, and then said: "I am receiving the salary of the imperial court, and I will never surrender! Unless I am tied up and taken to ask for credit..." He paused, "It's just a word from Pingle City.

At this moment, Yiqi ran over from the crop field next to the main road, and the muddy water was splashed in all directions by the horse's hooves.The knight ran up to Wu Gao, got off his horse, walked up quickly to salute, but didn't make a sound.

Wu Gao understood, bent down and listened to his ear, and heard the knight whispering: "Chen Yongsheng, the prefect of Pingle Prefecture, was kidnapped by the Chengwu! The group of bullying people directly dedicated the city to the rebels. The last general originally wanted to enter the city. I went to the city to urge the army rations and medicinal materials, but when I learned of this situation, I couldn’t make it.”

Wu Gao's pupils shrank for a while, but his face didn't show any expression. He was stunned for a while before he said coldly: "This commander knows."

The knight cupped his fists and bowed, and returned to the side of the horse.

After a while, another military commander came, and Zhi Li asked: "Marshal, it's not even noon, and at least 2000 people are left behind! How should we deal with them?"

How else can I deal with it?Wu Gao knew in his heart that he had to leave it alone, whipping and urging those who were sick would be of no avail; it was difficult for the army to march in the mud, why can't they be carried away?

Now that Pingyue Mansion has fallen, those sick soldiers will surely become captives, and they will even become enemy soldiers in the near future!

Wu Gao was silent for a while, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "There are some villages nearby, send people to gather people on the road to the village, and first recuperate their illnesses. Tell them to go north and return to the army when they are well."

The general clasped his fists and said, "The last general has orders!"

Wu Gao raised his head, looking at the countless raindrops hitting his face, he immediately wanted to scold God!

Wu Gao, who has fought many battles, understands that it is so difficult to win a battle when facing a powerful enemy.Not only can you not make mistakes, luck is also very important...

At noon, all the troops of the army rested on the spot, and everyone drank some cold water from the water bag and ate some dry food.

The generals came to the central army and surrounded Wu Gao.Wu Gao's son-in-law, Geng Hao, finally couldn't help but take the lead in persuading him: "Marshal, let's wait for the rain to stop before leaving!"

For a while, many people seconded their proposals one after another.When the generals saw their troops struggling in the mud, most of them didn't want to continue marching in the rain.

However, some generals raised objections: "When will the rain stop? This morning we thought it would be sunny, but it started raining again after walking for a while. Besides, the rebels were also marching in the rain when scouts detected it; if we stop , Yangshuo County will be occupied by the rebels."

"Let the rebels occupy that broken county..." "Let's rest for a couple of days, so we can wait for Pingyuefu City to bring the medicinal materials to appease the soldiers..."

At this moment, Wu Gao finally said, "Pingle City has surrendered to the rebels outside the city."

After hearing this, the generals were in an uproar, and someone asked, "Where did the rebels in Pingle City come from?"

Another person next to him immediately said in a decisive tone: "The rebel vanguard we defeated in Luorong County. At that time, although the government and army won a big victory, they could not destroy them; at this moment, those people regained their strength. Followed to Pingle Mansion."

A general scolded and waved his fist at the same time: "These defeated generals are defeated, I knew I would drive them all out before leaving!"
