More than two hundred people directly gathered around. They were all strong, with strong legs and feet, and even carried swords.
The leader waved his arm, and more than two hundred people around him stood still.
Wang Hongyu was startled, until he saw clearly the tall, mighty and handsome appearance of the leading warrior, and then he suddenly laughed.
"Brother Wang! You still remember me, brother, right?"
"Remember! You are Zhang Shenwu, Brother Zhang!"
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Shenwu laughed heartily and hugged Wang Hongyu.
"If you don't come out, I will lead my brothers to rob the prison~"
"Don't be ridiculous. Governor Han is a fair man. He will let me out when the matter is cleared up."
Zhang Shenwu's eyes suddenly condensed, and he lowered his voice and said: "Of course I know that Governor Han is reliable, but I heard that a jailer was bribed, so we want to break into the prison to protect your safety."
"This is not Sichuan... Even if it is Sichuan, Brother Zhang must not act on his own initiative."
After all, it was not appropriate to gather wantonly in front of the prison of Baoding Prefecture. They immediately left the city and went to a village to give Wang Hongyu a good refreshment first.
Along the way, Wang Hongyu recalled every detail about Zhang Shenwu in his memory, combined with his own historical reserves, and quickly sorted out his ideas.
Both of his parents were killed, and his master was killed in battle...
However, there are still two senior friends~
His Zhou Dunji was a Jinshi of Wu, a subordinate of Liu Wei, and a former military commander of Yongning.
The second one, Zhang Shenwu, was the champion of martial arts in the Ming Dynasty, a fellow countryman of Liu Wei, and once served as the commander of the Sichuan capital.
More than ten years ago, when I was still young, Zhang Shenwu and Zhou Dunji often went back and forth to take care of me, almost like big brothers.
Zhang Shenwu is now in his early thirties, with an extremely strong figure and a heroic aura that no one can match. He looks very capable just wearing an ordinary dark-colored hood and sleeveless bodyguard.
If he had not been unjustly accused and had been imprisoned for several years, he would have been more heroic and capable in the exquisite armor, and he would have been able to hold the positions of commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief.
Ten years ago, Sichuan capital commander Si Zhang Shenwu and Yongning counselor Zhou Dunji intervened in the civil strife of the chieftain She's family and privately sent troops to quell the rebellion. As a result, they were framed by thieves. A few years later, when the governor of Sichuan resigned, the imperial court officials suddenly attacked the two of them.
, were all sentenced to death, but were saved from death by the rescue of some upright officials.
Zhang Shenwu has been in prison since then. It seems that he has not been released for a long time and has not been granted a position yet.
But what worries me is that they will all die in battle in a year!
During the bloody battle on the Hun River, Zhou Dunji shouted the roar of the Ming Dynasty's army; to rescue Liaochen, Zhang Shenwu went upstream to become Liemin.
He has two of his best friends, so he must change the outcome of their death in battle no matter what!
"Brother Wang, you look worried, it's a bit unlike you~"
"Actually, I have been worried about Brother Zhang and Brother Zhou Dunji."
"Don't worry, I was released at the beginning of the year. The 240 people around me are all demoted veterans and servants of the Sichuan Army. They are now with me to help Liao."
Wang Hongyu looked at the 240 people around him. If his prediction was correct, they were the warriors who followed Zhang Shenwu to the end in history.
"As for Lao Zhou, don't worry. He has come back to work as a guerrilla in Jiliao for two years. I was just about to take you to join him~" Zhang Shenwu and Zhou Dunji were close friends in life and death, plus Wang Hongyu, the three of them
Just like brothers.
"Where is brother Zhou Dunji now?"
"He was in Baoding yesterday. It was he who was going to jail to visit and protect you. He is probably heading north to Zhuozhou now."
So it turned out that yesterday, fortunately, someone rushed to visit the prison, and the clerk Yang Lian was exposed to the fact that Yang Lian and Governor Han had conflicting opinions, and they were blocking the internal and external situation in private, so that he could judge the situation and gain wisdom.
When I heard about Zhuozhou just now, I rolled my eyes and thought of a good idea.
"Let's leave for Zhuozhou now and meet up with Brother Zhou Dunji."
"Okay, he has wanted to see you for a long time!"
"Zhuozhou is the place where Liu, Guan, and Zhang San became sworn brothers. Why don't the three of us also become sworn brothers."
"Hahahaha! I, Zhang Shenwu, have been waiting for a long time!"
...
One day later, in a village in Zhuozhou, Shuntian Prefecture, there was a large peach blossom forest.
Zhou Dunji patted Wang Hongyu on the shoulder and said, "It's only been less than three years, and you've already grown so tall!"
Now they are both tall and look mighty.
When he got closer, he looked carefully. Zhou Dunji was wearing Mingguang armor and looked very energetic. His face was weathered but still heroic, his eyes were bright and his smile was impressive. However, he had experienced injustice in the past few years and was a bit old. He was obviously only in his 30s. Look.
He looks like he is in his 40s...
It has not been easy for him these past few years.
He was originally a general under Liu Wei, but later he was promoted to a general in Yongning, specializing in guarding against the two great chieftains of She and An in the southwest. As a result, he encountered an incident with Zhang Shenwu and was imprisoned and was demoted. Two years ago, he served as a Sichuan soldier to aid the Liao guerrillas. After the disastrous defeat of Saarhu
, and went to Baoding to recruit and train troops.
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, they stopped talking and prepared to say goodbye.
Zhou Dunji has experienced hardships and stories, Zhang Shenwu is the most heroic and majestic, Wang Hongyu is absolutely the most handsome after shaving his beard, kneeling together in front of the incense burner and the wood carvings of Liu Guan and Zhang...
"Zhou Dunji! This year there are two out of thirty, Ming Dynasty Wu Jinshi!"
"Zhang Shenwu! If you are thirty-one this year, you will be the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty!"
"Wang Hongyu! He is nineteen years old this year and is a member of the Ming Dynasty Military Academy!"
"I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day! But I want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day!"
"Zhou Dunji vows to share weal and woe with his brothers, to accompany him throughout his life, to accompany him in life and death, and to never leave him."
"Zhang Shenwu vows to share weal and woe with his brothers, to accompany him throughout his life, to accompany him in life and death, and to never leave him."
"Me too."
This sworn oath was arranged by the eldest brother Zhou Dunji and the second brother Zhang Shenwu. Although I don't know everything about the oath, I am the same, so I can make everything go smoothly.
After finishing speaking, before Wang Hongyu could stand up, he suddenly felt his left shoulder being lightly tapped by a pair of calloused hands.
"I, Zhou Dunji, swear to protect Wang Hongyu to the death~"
?
Suddenly, a pair of big, calloused hands slapped me on my right shoulder.
"I, Zhang Shenwu, swear to protect Wang Hongyu to the death~"
?!
Wang Hongyu raised his head in disbelief, and after a while he said: "I, Wang Hongyu, swear to death..."
"No~" they both interrupted him in unison.
?!!
Why is this?
Why did you stop your third brother from saying that I will protect you to the death?
I can't let you die in Liaodong!
Wang Hongyu couldn't help but ask loudly.
The impatient Zhang Shenwu laughed first and scratched his head. Zhou Dunji scratched his head and smiled as if he was not being kind.
The two of them looked the same, but Wang Hongyu looked very different...
They said in unison, looking very formal: "Because the third brother must be different..."
!!!
"Because the third brother is different!" the two said loudly.
Wang Hongyu's eyes suddenly felt a little hot. He held the hands of his eldest and second brother and stuttered: "I..."
Zhang Shenwu spoke very quickly and grabbed the words: "Not only because the third brother is a close disciple of General Liu Wei, but also because you are a genius."
Zhou Dunji said in a slightly deep voice: "Not only because you are a descendant of the founding marquis, but because you are originally a low-level warrior and the successor of us Sichuan Army veterans!"
Tears dripped in Taoyuan, and the goal of saving the eldest and second brothers and reversing the bloody battle in Hunhe was extremely firm in my heart.
...
After the three sworn alliances, Wang Hongyu bluntly stated that he would stay in Zhou Dunji's army.
"Third brother, don't you go to the capital first?"
"There is still half a year before the martial arts test. I should stay in the army to assist my eldest brother and my second brother. Our troops are also going to Tongzhou, which is not far from the capital." Wang Hongyu actually knew that Wanli still had three months to live.
, this year is full of major events, so you must not miss the opportunity.
Zhang Shenwu said quickly: "The three of us brothers have all been in prison and have been wronged. In this case, let's work together and become famous all over the world!"
Zhou Dunji's kind smile paused slightly, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "Let the Sichuan Army's reputation be resounding throughout the world again!"
Wang Hongyu said loudly: "Beat Nurhachi and avenge Master Liu Ting and the Sichuan Army soldiers!"
Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong manager, is still in office. If he can be retained and Yuan Yingtai is prevented from taking office, he will have a good chance of beating up Jiannu and avenging Liu Wei and others.
Therefore, I must take advantage of the situation to make trouble, make friends with Wei Zhongxian, divide the Donglin Party, keep Xiong Tingbi, stop Yuan Yingtai, unite the Zhejiang soldiers and the Baigan soldiers, and then develop my own strength, achieve great achievements, become a high official, and do a great cause~
"Brother, does he know where Shizhu Qin Liangyu's white-poled soldiers are?"
"Oh? She and I just met in Baoding, and now we are going to Tongzhou first."
"What's the relationship between the white-pole soldiers and our department?"
When he asked this question, Zhang Shenwu looked at Zhou Dunji with a secret smile, as if he had some story to tell. Zhou Dunji was stunned for a moment before replying: "Both of us are from Sichuan. When the old general Liu Wei put down the Bozhou Rebellion, he also supported Qin Liangyu
, so the two armies have good relations."
Wang Hongyu's eyes lit up and he knew something: "Very good. If we work together, and unite other powerful armies, and cooperate with Xiong Tingbi's strategy, we will be able to accomplish something great."
Zhou Dunji introduced: "I am now serving as the guerrilla general to aid the Liao Dynasty. According to the order of Xiong Tingbi on the Liaodong Economic Strategy, I summoned some of the old Sichuan Army troops to aid the Liao Dynasty. Tongzhou has gathered many reinforcements, which can be used as a good starting point."
"A good starting point~" is a good saying.
Zhang Shenwu added: "I have gathered veterans and servants here, and Xiong Jinglue has planned to use me as a guerrilla. The third brother does not have a position yet. With his status as a military officer, he can take up a position in the army first."
Zhou Dunji nodded slowly. Of course, he must give his third brother the position, but the veterans must also be convinced: "I very much agree, but I must also give you some small tests in the military, so that the veterans can recognize you."
"That's natural."
"Tomorrow we will go north to Shuntian Mansion and pass through Liangxiang to collect military rations. We have encountered trouble in this matter. You can start training from here~"
"What happened?"
"Liangxiang County promised to provide us with a batch of military rations, but now it suddenly changed its mind."
Wang Hongyu's eyes lit up. First, someone refused to give the Sichuan soldiers food, and then there was the historical incident of Zhejiang soldiers fighting with white pole weapons. There is something fishy in this.
The guy behind the scenes is quite shady. It’s a pity that he met me, Wang Hongyu~ This chapter has been completed!
