Xu Zhengye's patience was running out. He wanted to take Hezhou in one fell swoop, so in addition to Ge Zong, he also ordered Ji Xi, another capable subordinate under his command, to fight together.
Ge Zong received the military talisman and left the camp, feeling very high-spirited, as if the battle had been won.
Seeing Luo Guanlin coming out, he deliberately took the next step slowly and said sarcastically: "You can't help the general capture the city with just a woman's kind words!"
Luo Guanlin's face darkened slightly and he ignored it.
Ge Zong, however, refused to give up: "Mr. Luo has always spoken kindly to Chang Kuo. Could it be that he is an old acquaintance?"
He said "tsk" and said, "It's a pity that Chang Kuo is blocking the way. The general has a great cause and a long-term vision. I'm afraid I won't be able to lose Mr. Luo's friendship as an old friend."
"But it doesn't matter!" he said, stepped forward and patted Luo Guanlin on the shoulder, saying: "When I take the Chang Kuo head back to camp today, sir, you can reunite with your old friend!"
As he said this, he felt that it was funny and burst out laughing.
Luo Guanlin was not angry but smiled, and said in a lukewarm tone: "It seems that General Ge knows that he is inferior to others. He is afraid that if General Ge gets such a good general as Chang Kuo, he will no longer have a foothold in the army."
Ge Zong's smile suddenly froze and his face turned ugly.
"It is a good thing for people to be self-aware, but it is not a long-term solution for General Ge to be so jealous. No wonder even the general said that day..." Luo Guan paused subtly at this point, only shook his head, and did not continue.
Instead of continuing to speak, he turned to his colleagues next to him and smiled knowingly.
"..." Ge Zong's expression changed several times, General? What do you mean? What did the General say about him?
He wanted to ask what was going on, but Luo Guanlin had already walked away. He deliberately stepped forward to ask, but he was afraid that doing so would be too cheap and would make him lose his composure!
But now that the battle was about to begin, he had no time to argue with the opponent, so he could only leave with a frown on his face and a heart-breaking look on his face.
"...Brother Luo's mouth is much more powerful than a knife." The colleague walked beside Luo Guanlin and said at this moment: "He is about to lead troops to attack the city. At this juncture, why should Brother Luo be as familiar with him...I'm afraid that on the battlefield
, he still has this matter in mind."
When he raised his knife to kill someone, he might still be thinking - what on earth did the general say to Luo Guanlin?
When others were slashing him, they might still be thinking - I don't know how Luo Guanlin secretly stirred up discord. Will the general just dislike me?
You should also take the time to think over and over eight hundred times the mistakes you may have made since joining the general's command.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this plan was "insidious", and I couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, those of you who have been imperial censors... you have a vicious mouth and a dark heart."
Faced with the ridicule, Luo Guanlin just sneered: "He himself is unsure. Even if he loses the battle, he can't blame me."
The colleague lowered his voice at the right time: "Brother Luo... really don't want him to win this battle?"
Luo Guanlin did not answer him, but his expression gradually became complicated. He walked for more than ten steps before asking slowly: "Zhongqin, do you think the general has changed a lot now?"
The joking expression on the colleague's face faded, he sighed lightly and did not answer.
"I always think of the days when we were drinking and chatting happily in Jiangdu..." Luo Guanlin felt a little disappointed.
At that time, he was banished from Beijing by the Empress of the Ming Dynasty. He was depressed and unhappy. Only when he met Xu Zhengye and his entourage did he sweep away his depression.
They talked very happily, but they were both dissatisfied with the situation in power after the Ming Dynasty. They often denounced and cursed the chaos of the dynasty after drinking, and thus became each other's confidants.
All in all, the drinking in those days made him very drunk.
What also attracted him was Xu Zhengye's "good brother" whom he met so late and became so close to each other.
The beautiful scene after the success described by the other party made him even more dazzled.
So he was willing to follow the other party to start trouble, sparing no effort, doing his best, and making plans. Along the way, those inciting "letters to the world" and proclamations passed through his hand, and his pen broke several times. Those characters of character
Most of the aloof scribes were persuaded and won over by him, and his words were worn out several times.
Nowadays, there are more and more generals and counselors under the general's command, and the voices are becoming more and more mixed. The general walks around among them, fearing that he will favor one over the other, so he has not called him "good brother" for a long time.
The former confidants and brothers are now just a dry relationship between the lord and his ministers.
Moreover, Ge Zong and his ilk often had disputes with him, or had unfavorable advice. The general would often ignore him intentionally or unintentionally when discussing matters nowadays.
For another example, in the big tent just now, the person who used to talk like a good brother, but now when he hears that he is impatient, he will only raise his hand to tell him to shut up.
It would be false to say that I am not disappointed.
"I understand Brother Luo's mood..." The minister sighed: "It's like Brother Luo was originally assigned to his wife, but now he sees that his husband has made a fortune and has numerous concubines. These concubines have their own agendas and are used to flattery.
, but this husband is a figure like Chen Shimei, and he can no longer see the wretched wife in his eyes..."
Luo Guanlin, the wife of Chao Nang, couldn't bear to listen and interrupted with a dark face: "...Stop talking nonsense!"
Ridiculous, is he such a jealous person?
His face was solemn: "That's not what I care about!"
What he cares about is whether that person is still the person he regarded as his confidant.
"I understand..." the colleague sighed: "It's just that now that we are on this road, there is no possibility of turning back. It is useless to think too much. Brother Luo, let's focus on the future."
This is naturally a statement of high emotional intelligence.
To put it more bluntly, it must be - the uncooked rice has been cooked, so don't be pretentious. Running away in the middle will lead to a dead end.
Luo Guanlin stopped talking, but his heart became increasingly depressed.
At this time, horns and war drums sounded on the battlefield.
Luo Guanlin paused and turned his head to look in the direction of the military field.
The general has repeatedly confirmed that there are only more than 10,000 troops brought by Chang Kuo in Hezhou City... Hezhou will definitely not be saved in this battle.
Ge Zong must retaliate. The last time he failed to attack the city, he thought he had lost face. After capturing Hezhou, he would not be able to treat the captured troops and the people in the city well.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And most of those soldiers are untutored and have become accustomed to wanton looting and looting after seizing the city... All of this has the tacit approval of the general.
He was very disapproving of this and repeatedly proposed to the general to control the army. However, the general told him that most of these soldiers were recruited by force. If they were not allowed to get some benefits in the war, the people would be disorganized and their morale would be low.
, this battle will be difficult to fight.
In other words, this tacit consent was the bait Xu Zhengye used to motivate his soldiers to attack the city vigorously.
When Luo Guanlin faced those unruffled eyes, he felt that there were thousands of words stuck in his throat and he could not say any more.
What are the people doing wrong? If they are not wrong, why should they become the prey of this "great cause" and let others snatch and bully them?
Along the way, looking back at the places they passed, there were refugees everywhere and complaints...
The general also comforted him that to achieve a great cause, one must make sacrifices and make sacrifices. If the great cause is accomplished in the future, everything will be fine when the world is peaceful and everything is in order.
Will it get better?
But what we see now is that everything is getting worse, and it is getting worse because of them.
He opposed women being in power and hated the many perverse actions of the Ming dynasty. He was eager for someone to correct all of this and restore orthodoxy and peace to the world. When he met Xu Zhengye, he thought he had found that person.
But at this time, aside from Xu Zhengye's many actions that did not care about the life and death of the people, he even began to doubt whether Xu Zhengye would really support the crown prince to ascend the throne and support the Li family as he had originally said?
Did he... choose the wrong letter by mistake?
The answer to this question was too heavy, and now that he had reached this point, he almost didn't dare to think about it further.
Accompanied by the sound of thunder and drums, the army quickly left the camp. Looking from a distance, they looked like long snakes and ferocious beasts wandering between the sky and the earth. They were menacing, with their fangs wide open, and they plundered and killed their prey.
…
The enemy troops arrived very quickly, but Hezhou City had been in a state of war preparation recently and was able to gather troops quickly.
A scout reported that there were 100,000 enemy troops, led by Ge Zong and Ji Xi.
"...One hundred thousand is one hundred thousand. We also have fifty thousand. If one kills two, it won't be a big problem!" A tall man in armor who stood up straight raised his sword and shouted loudly.
There is also a more confident one: "I can kill three!"
The one who was not confident felt relieved: "Then I'll kill one...you kill one for me, and then I'll give you a basket of eggs that I laid at home."
After saying this, there was even loud laughter everywhere.
These are mostly soldiers who have been recently recruited from the city. A few days ago, most of them were just ordinary people.
However, the spirit of jointly retreating from the enemy in Hezhou City was very strong, so no one retreated in the face of the powerful enemy.
Chang Kuo was the first to mount his horse.
Chang Sui Ning also got on his horse, looked at Yun Hui who had become tense when he heard about Ji Xi just now, and said, "Let's go and take revenge."
Governor Yun and the eldest son of the Yun family both died at the hands of Ji Xi.
Yun Hui pursed his lips, nodded to her, then mounted his horse and headed towards the city gate.
On the way, he suddenly turned around and asked Chang Suining: "Do you think we can win?"
Chang Sui Ning didn't squint his eyes: "Okay."
Yun Hui held the reins: "Then do you think we will die?"
Chang Suining replied casually: "Maybe."
Yun Hui wanted to sigh: "...Why don't you answer something auspicious?"
Chang Suining finally turned to look at him: "Why don't you ask something auspicious?"
Meeting those eyes, Yun Hui felt guilty for a moment, that's right, what was he asking?
The city gate was already visible in the distance. He thought for a while and finally asked another question that was not unlucky.
"Are you...really a woman?"
Although he already had an answer, the shock that this incident brought to him increased over time. Inexplicably, he still wanted to ask it himself.
Chang Suining: "Is this important?"
Yun Hui was silent for a moment and said: "That's right, it's not important... I've just never seen a woman who looks like you, so..."
"What should a woman look like?" The girl on horseback looked forward and said in a casual tone: "All living beings are different, and people are supposed to be different. Women are not the same mold. Everyone should grow up according to that mold."
She said: "It's not that the model called a woman is what I should be. It's that what I am is what a woman is."
Everyone should only use themselves as the standard.
"I am like that." She looked back and said, "They are like that too."
Yun Hui also looked back subconsciously. He saw his mother-in-law and the team of women behind her.
There are thousands of people in this team.
They also wore similar armor, their hair was tied tightly, and they also had weapons in their hands.
All this happened three days ago when a woman in the city, who was always known for her toughness, was sewing armor with others. The more she sewed, the more uncomfortable she became, and several needles in her hand broke.
After frowning and thinking for a long time, he stood up and put the armor on himself. He looked at the water tank and suddenly became enlightened - Hey, this feels right!
So he went to the governor's office and recommended himself to join the army.
The person in charge of recruitment asked her to go home, but she refused. More and more people gathered, and the news reached Yun Hui's ears.
When the woman saw Yun Hui, she began to recommend herself. She claimed to be capable of literature and martial arts.
The reason for her strength is that she has been carrying dung, cutting firewood and feeding pigs for ten years. She has developed a lot of strength by beating children and men. It would be a waste not to kill the enemy.
What makes her literate is that she has never failed in scolding with her neighbors. She can scold people loudly and in many ways. She cursed the enemy soldiers in front of the battle line for three hundred rounds, and was so angry that the enemy soldiers who were not able to withstand it were not there.
Next words.
Yun Hui didn't know what to do after hearing this. He had never seen such a man of literary and military skills.
A man stood by and reminded the woman that going to the battlefield was different, as it would kill people.
Unexpectedly, the woman's waist straightened up even more - she was not even afraid of giving birth, so why was she afraid of this?
Historically, giving birth to a child has been the biggest gate to hell for a woman. I don’t know how many women die every year due to childbirth. When it comes to the saying that “people are mortal,” why have I never seen anyone say to women, “Giving children is mortal, so don’t give birth as soon as possible.”
” words?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! You will always die if you live. The more she kills on the battlefield, the better her chances of winning!
When someone tried to persuade her to leave, Chang Suining appeared.
She took the initiative and accepted this woman who was capable of both literature and martial arts.
This is where this "women's army" of thousands of people came from.
They were trained by Chang Suining himself. During the process, they also learned that the young man who trained them was actually a girl, which gave them even more confidence.
At this moment, they followed Mrs. Yun's family in an orderly formation, and they already seemed to be in a state of nascent military strength.
The defending army quickly and methodically completed the deployment of defenses and stood ready.
Ge Zong led his army to approach quickly and approached the city. During the confrontation, with a desire to avenge his past humiliation, he named Chang Kuo to challenge him: "General Chang Kuo, do you dare to challenge me in a duel?"
"You are nothing but a basket of dung, and you still need us, General Chang, to pick it up!" On top of the city tower, an armored woman echoed without saying anything: "There is always urine without a mirror, take a look at it, even you are worthy."
!”
Chang Kuo looked over in amazement. He was a master. The person opposite who likes to be scolded was in luck today.
Along with the curse, the woman let out a "ho, bah".
This wasn't just a sound, it was a physical attack.
The woman's spit followed the wind and sprayed on Ge Zong's upturned face.
Ge Zong wiped his face and turned red with anger.
She is still a woman! How unlucky!
What he hates the most in his life are these women who are restless and want to change the world. You must know that it is women he is against!
He suddenly lost interest in fighting Chang Kuo, and Chang Kuoyuan had no intention of agreeing. Such people had no martial virtue at first glance. If he jumped off the tower here, they would swarm him and tie him up.
Who can he ask to reason with the lotus pods that are full of holes?
Ge Zong had ordered an attack on the city. Seeing Chang Kuo raising his hand, Yun Hui immediately ordered: "Fire arrows!"
