At this point, two strong guards walked up to him carrying a large halberd. He Wuji stretched out one hand and took the scepter in his hand. He saw nine on it.
A bunch of feathers were hung on a big halberd, swinging in the wind. Everyone in the hall was in awe, because they all knew the origin of this big halberd.
I heard He Wuji loudly say: "This is the spurge I used when I founded the righteousness. It was passed down to me by my uncle, General Liu Laozhi. In order not to implicate me, my mother committed suicide on the eve of the revolt and left her last words to me."
I killed thieves to serve the country. Later, after the establishment of justice was successful, the imperial court gave me the banner of Su Wu, the Han Dynasty envoy of the Nine Regiments. I hung it on this halberd and named it Su Wu Jie. Today, why should I personally bear the banner of Su Wu Jie to quell the rebellion for the country?
Be loyal and avenge the fallen soldiers!"
All the generals excitedly pounded their chests with their fists and shouted: "Revenge, revenge, revenge!" Even Deng Qianzhi, Yin Chan and other civil servants were affected by this, shouting for revenge, even naked
Wang Hong, who had only one foot, also stamped his feet rhythmically and shouted, "Kill the thief."
Zhang Shao still frowned slightly and said nothing.
He Wuji looked at Zhang Shao, with a flash of displeasure on his face, and said, "Zhang Canjun, is there anything else you want to say?"
Zhang Shao sighed: "The current Yangtze River is in the dry season. If Zhennan wants to use naval warships to raid Nankang and catch the enemy by surprise, speed is the first priority. But when traveling in dry waterways, speed is not the best."
But if you can't get up quickly, I'm afraid it's not as fast as going directly by land. In my humble opinion, Zhennan's loyalty and bravery are unparalleled, and the morale of our army can be used. However, if we want to succeed in the counterattack, we need a more careful plan. In my humble opinion,
It would be safer to contact Liu Daogui in Jingzhou and join forces to attack Nankang. Moreover, although Yuzhang has 5,000 men and horses, as the seat of the state government, they cannot all be dispatched. At least 2,000 men and horses must be left to help defend.
"
He Wuji raised his lips in dissatisfaction and said, "I have my own plan for this, where is Xie Bao?"
A military general in his thirties stepped out of the queue and performed a military salute: "General Xie Bao, waiting for the commander's military orders!"
He Wuji nodded: "Xie Bao, you were the head of the Xie family back then. The monsters and thieves rose up and your whole family was in trouble. At that time, you came to join the army alone. Over the years, you have been with me through life and death, and you have made countless contributions. You are also my most trusted person."
Lieutenant General."
Xie Bao gritted his teeth: "The Xie family was my employer back then. The owner of the village has always taken care of my family for generations, taught me martial arts, married me and had children. Xie Bao was incompetent and failed to protect the owner of the village. Their whole family died tragically.
, but there was nothing I could do. In comparison, my family's disaster did not make me sad so much. I made it clear at that time that I had nothing else to seek in this life, I was only willing to fight to the death with the monsters and thieves, for the old owner of the village, and for me.
The whole family wants revenge! This time Zhennan is going to attack the monster thieves, and Xie Bao is willing to be the vanguard!"
He Wuji shook his head with satisfaction: "Very good, Xie Bao, your momentum is very strong, but this battle requires not only courage, but also strategy. Your desire for revenge is too strong, and you can easily fall into the trap of a monster."
It's a thief's plan, so when I call you this time, I won't be the vanguard like before."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Xie Bao's eyes, and he gritted his teeth: "If the commander-in-chief does not let the general be the vanguard, then the general will be willing to lead his troops and follow the Chinese army forward, or go along the river to protect the flanks of the army."
He Wuji smiled and waved his hand: "No, Xie Bao, I want to give you a more important task this time, which is to guard Yuzhang City."
Xie Bao's eyes widened, then he shook his head and said, "Commander, do you want me to leave my general behind to look after my family? I don't want to. Since the beginning of the army, my general has always charged into battle, but he has never stayed behind to guard the rear."
He Wuji said sternly: "Xie Bao, this mission is very important. It is by no means an ordinary left-behind. Look at the fall of Nankang this time. The demon thieves used cunning tactics to attack and destroyed the city in one fell swoop. Even Zhu Chaoshi, who had experienced hundreds of battles, was
There is no way to prepare for it. This Yuzhang is the seat of the state government. If the demon thieves know that the army is attacking, they may try to come here. The families of our soldiers and the officials of the governor's office are all here. Their safety, life and death, are all in our hands.
is you."
He Wuji spoke extremely seriously, his eyes sparkling as he looked directly at Xie Bao.
Xie Bao murmured to himself: "Listen to what the commander said, this responsibility is really heavy. Back then, demon thieves attacked Zhuangzi and killed the old owner, and my subordinates also fell into the hands of thieves because of their family members.
Most of them collapsed, and in the end I had no choice but to come to the commander alone. I understand that staying at the rear this time is a more important responsibility than playing as a forward. As long as I, Xie Bao, am alive, I will definitely live and die with Yuzhang!"
He Wuji stepped forward and took Xie Bao's hand: "Brother, I want you to live well, guard Yuzhang, and don't say anything about living or dying with the city. Also, Wei Shunzhi in the rear, I have ordered him to
We are speeding up and moving closer to the front. If you are attacked by the enemy, don't attack. You must defend the city, get in touch with Shunzi, and work together to defeat the thieves!"
Xie Bao said in a deep voice: "Commander, please feel free to go out on the expedition. I have five hundred elite soldiers around me now. They are all soldiers who have been with me for many years. They are enough to guard Yuzhang City."
He Wuji frowned slightly and turned to Wang Hong: "Wang Nankang, you lost your troops and lost your territory. This is a capital crime. However, for the sake of risking your own life to report military intelligence, I will exempt you from the death penalty for the time being. You are Liu
The chariots and horses of the shogunate will be handed over to him from now on."
Wang Hong burst into tears with excitement and said loudly: "Thank you so much for Zhennan's kindness in not killing. I will definitely do my best to repay your kindness."
He Wuji said coldly: "This is not my kindness, but the country is in trouble. Now is the time to employ people. Although you have lost ground, you have done your best. Now I will give you a chance to make amends. This mansion
I am going to lead the expedition to Nankang, and it is up to you to stay at the military headquarters here. You need to quickly recruit militiamen to assist General Xie Bao in defending the city, and provide necessary military supplies for Wei Shunzhi's reinforcements. Also, shrink
The troops collecting grain from various places must gather in Yuzhang within ten months, then organize their equipment, bring grain and grass, and support the front line. Even if I capture Nankang, I will still have to face the counterattack of the Lu and Xu armies. There must be no chaos in the rear.
!”
Wang Hong nodded repeatedly: "I will definitely assist General Xie and guard Yuzhang together. The army ahead needs food and people. I will never miss any military information."
He Wuji nodded: "Don't let me down again this time. Shunzi's actions are still too slow. According to my military order, he should have met here yesterday, but now he still tells me that the military rations are not available.
Wait for three days, huh, in three days, I have reached Nankang. Deng Changshi, please issue another strict order in my name. Tell him that the military situation is urgent now and that he should not worry about any food requisition matters. Quickly
Come to Yuzhang, and then join forces to come to Nankang, otherwise, he won’t even have a share in pacifying Lingnan!”
