At noon the next day, the couple's car arrived in Chuzhou.
Before he could see the Chuzhou city, the old man ordered the guards who were following him to disperse far away. It was okay to have so many people around him when he was traveling in the countryside, but so many knights on the ground in Chuzhou must have looked very conspicuous.
Furthermore, anyone with a quick glance could tell that these knights were riding fine war horses.
There were two large cars, one behind the other, and three or five plainclothes guards were walking beside the cars, just like ordinary rich men.
"Grandpa Huang, Chuzhou is just ahead!" Zhu Yunxi looked at the city walls of Chuzhou from the car and said with a smile, "When my grandson returned to Fengyang to pay homage to his ancestors, he stayed here for a few days. Should we rest here?"
"I remember that you didn't stay here long that year. As soon as you got here, you heard that we had sent Lan Yu to prison. Then you quickly returned to the capital and asked your uncle to open the city gate. You even led someone to kick the Jin Yiwei.
Zhenfu Division, let us go." The old man laughed teasingly, "That will make those old killers completely devoted to you, the Third Master Wu!"
Li Jinglong was driving the car. His face froze when he heard this, and he quickly concentrated on driving as if he hadn't heard anything.
The two old men can say whatever they want about these old things, but if outsiders dare to say anything, do you think the old man will be angry?
"Grandpa Huang, wasn't my grandson young and frivolous at that time?" Zhu Yunxi laughed softly.
"You have been so bold since you were a child!" the old man laughed.
"How can my grandson be brave? Are you just relying on the emperor's favor to act nonsense?" Zhu Yunxi flattered him lightly, "My grandson knows that no matter how much nonsense you make, grandpa, you will tolerate it, so he dares to act boldly!" After saying that, he helped with his own hands.
The old man rubbed his shoulders.
"Go, go away!" The old man laughed and scolded, but he felt very happy.
Then he looked at the tall city wall of Chuzhou, his eyes filled with emotion for a moment.
Zhu Yunxi noticed the change in the old man's expression and whispered, "Grandpa Huang, is this the first city you conquered back then?"
"The beginning of the foundation!" The old man looked a little proud, "At the beginning, we had only 10,000 soldiers and our reputation was not good. After we captured Chuzhou, we not only directly expanded the army to more than 20,000 people, but also had soldiers and food in hand, and our reputation was even better.
Through Huaixi."
"Hehe, before the war in Chuzhou, when people mentioned it, I would only say: Oh, Guo Zixing's son-in-law Zhu Chongba, that man is also a good fighter."
"After the capture of Chuzhou, it will be different when others mention us. Who doesn't look at us differently?" He said, snorting coldly, "Humph, when we led people to set up our own business, his Huaixi general manager Guo Dashuai still kept his family. Wait.
When we capture Chuzhou, he will obediently send us your grandmother!"
Zhu Yunxi's ears were numb from hearing these old events. When he was studying in Wenhua Hall, the most important course was to listen to the bachelor's talk about the old man's journey to start a business.
However, it was rare that the old man was in a good mood now. Zhu Yunxi followed the old man's words and asked, pretending not to understand, "Grandpa Huang, there is something that my grandson has always been confused about. Back then, you were considered the top in the army of King Chuyang (Guo Zixing).
You are such a good person, why do you think of setting up your own business!"
Then he said, "My grandson was in a cold sweat when he listened to the bachelor's speech. When you came out from the King of Chuyang, you handed over all the military power in your hands and took the Huaixi II
Fourteen generals, and then went back to his hometown to recruit hundreds of fellow villagers."
"Ha!" The old man looked proud, "A real man would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of an ox. What's the point of working for others in troubled times? The ancients said that princes, generals and ministers have the guts to do so. If they can do it, why can't we?
Anyway, you just put your head in your waistband and fuck!"
"Even if you die, you have to die in a grand way, worthy of carrying a twenty-pound head on your shoulders? You are already rebelling, why is it that your mother is so cowardly and careless that she might as well farm at home? If you don't have such ambition, what's the point?
Gentlemen!"
"Gentlemen must be willing to take risks. Look at all the heroes and masters throughout the ages. Who has not been like this?"
Zhu Yunxi immediately gave a thumbs up, "Grandpa Huang, that's what you said, but your courage and vision are unprecedented in history? After all, you didn't have any capital at that time!" He said, looking at Li Jinglong, "
dont you agree?"
"Ah, yes!" Li Jinglong quickly turned his head, showing a prostrate smile, and said with a smile, "When I was a young boy studying, every time I read this story about the Supreme Emperor, my blood boiled with pride, and my heart was so excited that I couldn't control myself!"
"The people on the side had some men and horses in their hands, and they must have been thinking about how to preserve their strength. But you, old man, did the opposite and captured Chuzhou, the important town in Huaixi. Hey, maybe in all dynasties, our Ming Dynasty has the most righteous country, you
It’s the most difficult for the elderly to start a business!”
The two of them sang together, making the old man feel so comfortable that he laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared.
"Actually, he was forced to do it!" The old man said with a smile, "Hey, you don't know that Fengyang was called Haozhou at the beginning, and it was Marshal Guo who led his men to defeat it, but the red scarf in the city
The army is not just his Guo family's group."
"Marshuai Guo also had Sun Deya, and later Zhao Jun used Peng Da. There was intrigue all day long. You plotted against me and I plotted against you. I was afraid that one would annihilate the other."
"It's like this above, but the people below are fighting all day long. You robbed me of my food rations and I occupied your barracks. Oh, now that I think about it, they are not rebels, they are just a group of bandits!"
Having said this, the old man looked at the city wall that was getting closer and continued to smile, "Don't think we haven't read any books, but we are discerning."
"The troubled times are coming, and the world is full of wars. Can people like this have any future? Damn Haozhou is such a big place, they are going to be kings in the city. The anger of each and every one of them has not completely subsided.
I haven’t eaten enough steamed buns, so I’m wearing a dragon robe, what’s going on?”
"Then isn't he going to graves and burning toilet paper to fool the ghosts?"
"So we thought, if we don't destroy, we won't establish. If we follow this group of people, we will be beaten into a pot of porridge. We will be robbing all day long. When the Yuan Dynasty's army comes, can we still resist it? Everyone washes their necks and waits.
Get stabbed!"
Zhu Yunxi interjected, "Your knowledge is truly rare in ancient and modern times!"
This is not flattery. Who among ordinary people can have such vision and courage?
The rebellion of the poor was just for the sake of having enough to eat. At that time, they were all precarious. Day by day, who couldn't be happy sometimes?
"This is not just knowledge, we also used some tricks at the time!" The old man smiled proudly, "Do you know what we told Marshal Guo when we wanted to set up our own business?"
Zhu Yunxi sat down next to the old man and listened carefully.
Li Jinglong was driving beside him, looking even more adoring.
"He didn't let me go at that time. If he let me go, he wouldn't have anyone available for him! Not only are we good at fighting, but we are also good people. Several other people in the group also betrayed our reputation!" The old man opened up his chatter and gushed.
Jue said, "But there is really no way out by following them. We have to survive in death!"
"Let's talk to Marshal Guo privately. Marshal, the first few gangs in the city are trying their best to recruit people to join them. We see that we are at a disadvantage, so we have to think of something!"
"Marshuai Guo said, Chongba, what can you do?"
"Commander, you see, the other army leaders are all weak-minded and can't win the battle by pretending to be useless. So you give us some money and some food, and we'll go back to our hometown and get you a few hundred hardcovers."
Later generations will come."
"Those young men are not like these soldiers. They know how to grab things, and they are really brave enough to fight for it. They eat your food, wear your clothes, and take your rewards. Of course they will sacrifice their lives for you."
"If you don't listen to others, just listen to you. Several hundred elite soldiers who dare to fight hard and are obedient can be of great use at critical moments!"
