Looking at the women who were so thin from starvation, and the dozen men who were still staring at the women with green eyes even though they were caught by their own side, Pang Gang stamped his feet bitterly, what the hell is this?
What kind of world is this?
Pang Gang thought for a while and said helplessly: "Hao Dayong, give these women some dry food and water, let them eat something first."
"Master Jun, you must not abandon us. If you abandon us, we will not be able to survive." When several women saw Pang Gang say this, they thought that the other party was going to abandon them, so they quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
: "Master Jun, just accept us. We can do any job. Just accept us and you will show mercy."
Seeing these women knelt down and kowtowed, and the faces of the sergeants beside him also showed unbearable expressions, Pang Gang said in embarrassment: "It's not that I don't want to take you in, it's that women are not allowed in the military camp, and besides, I
We are going to fight, how can I take you with me?"
"Master Jun, please show mercy and save us." At this time, the women could no longer say anything. They just knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Pang Gang thought for a while and said: "In this way, I will assign you to the supply camp at the back, and you will help there. After this battle is over, you can decide for yourself whether to follow us to Qingzhou or go home to blog. You
Now take them to the supply camp and tell Wang Mazi to let him settle these women and not bully them, you know?" Pang Gang said the last words to Shi Bowen behind him.
"Yes, sir." After Shi Bowen obeyed the order, he immediately took these women to the supply camp behind.
"Sir, what should we do with these people?" After Shi Bowen took a few women down, Hao Da asked, pointing to the dozens of hungry people who were still surrounded by soldiers.
After listening to Hao Dayong's words, Pang Gang's eyes shot out a cold light: "There is no need for such people to remain in the world who harm their fellow sisters and eat them alive."
Pang Gang has always had a generous attitude towards the hungry people, but he caught his own compatriots and ate them in order to survive, which violated Pang Gang's moral bottom line. For such people and things
Pang Gang has only one way to deal with them, and that is to "kill"
The team continued to move forward, but there were dozens more bloody corpses on the side of the road...
Just when Pang Gang was desperately rushing to Baoding, Lu Xiangsheng, who had gone through so much trouble to get to Baoding, was at the end of his rope.
When Lu Xiangsheng arrived at Baoding, Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, closed the city gate tightly and did not allow any of his troops to enter the city. He refused to provide food and grass on the grounds that there was no food in the city. He only ordered people to throw thousands of taels of silver from the city to let him
The army went to buy food, but the villages around Baoding are now deserted. Where did you ask Lu Xiangsheng to buy food? At this moment, Xuanda's soldiers were already digging bark and grass roots everywhere to feed themselves. From time to time, there were even reports of soldiers starving to death.
news
This news made Lu Xiangsheng so sad and angry that he led tens of thousands of troops to resist the Qing soldiers. The soldiers did not ask for rewards from the court, they just wanted to have a good meal. However, even this small request was not met, which made
Lu Xiangsheng felt grief-stricken and indignant. His heart was full of grief, anger and gloom, and he tried his best not to let the tears roll down from the corners of his eyes.
In the big tent, Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of Xuan Da, shouted angrily: "Is it possible that our Ming Dynasty will perish in the hands of these people? I don't believe it..."
Lu Xiangsheng turned his face abruptly and shook his head to Yang Guozhu, not letting him continue. At this moment, the shadow of Dongchang Fanzi came to his mind. He was not worried about himself, but worried that his love would say
He made some dissatisfaction with the imperial court and was reported to the capital by someone. He took a step in front of Yang Guozhu and said: "General Yang, there are some things you should not say nonsense about the imperial court. Please don't pay attention to the imperial court. Just do your duty."
If things were to go otherwise, just like Pang Gang, he would not leave sadly in the end..."
When Yang Guozhu mentioned Pang Gang, he also sighed and said: "Speaking of Pang Gang's Qingzhou weapons, their weapons are sharp, and their soldiers are well-trained. They can be regarded as the first-class powerful army of our Ming Dynasty. If they can be used well, they will be the pillars of the country.
But some people just can’t tolerate him.”
Mentioning Pang Gang, Lu Xiangsheng also nodded and said: "Yes, Pang Gang is talented. He can both train troops and fight. What's rare is that he is also very proficient in civil affairs. I heard that he is now running a good business in Qingzhou, Shandong.
Prosperous, but a pity. As you said, if this person is used well, he will be the pillar of the country. If he is not used well, he will be..."
At this point, Lu Xiangsheng stopped talking and just sighed softly. Pang Gang's heroic but unruly face seemed to appear in his mind.
Just when the two of them were relatively speechless, there was a noise in front of the big tent, and then a figure stumbled in. Lu Xiangsheng saw that it was his own general Zhou Siyong. At this time, Zhou Siyong did not care.
Shang complained to Lu Xiangsheng, but Sheng ecstatically shouted to the video: "Captain, I am so happy!"
"What happy event?" Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Zhou Siyong accusingly, but still asked calmly
"Sir, some Ye Bushou from Qingzhou just arrived. They said they came from Hejian Prefecture. Their master, General Dingguo, is leading an army and a large amount of food and grass to Baoding."
"What, Pang Gang is here again"
Hearing this news, Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Guozhu were both shocked. This Pang just left after having a falling out with Gao Qiqian last month. Why is he here again? Isn't he afraid that Gao Qiqian will frame him again?
"Are you sure you heard correctly?" Lu Xiangsheng stood up, his eyes as big as bells.
"Commander, I heard you right, the general is in the camp now. The general will bring them immediately." After Zhou Siyong said this, he walked out in a hurry, and soon he brought the three night guards to the camp.
Come in if you don't accept it
After entering the big tent, the leader Ye Bushou said loudly: "The foreign affairs committee of Ye Bushou under General Dingguo, a villain, met Governor Lu in the past."
"No courtesy." At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng had no time to pay attention to this, and asked anxiously: "Your name is Gu Chen. Let me ask you, where is your general now?"
"Reporting to the Governor, my general is currently traveling overnight from Hejian Prefecture to Baoding. He is expected to arrive tomorrow. My general has also brought a large amount of food and grass, which is enough to solve the food shortage crisis of the army."
Gu Chen's voice was so loud that not only Lu Xiangsheng heard it, but many soldiers and generals outside the tent also heard it clearly.
Soon, news spread that Pang Gang had arrived and brought a large amount of food and grass with the army, which immediately caused a strong sensation among the officers and soldiers of Xuanda University.
Pang Gang was about to come, and General Dingguo, who was so angry that he beat up the high-ranking supervisors and then left angrily, was back again. This news shocked the entire camp.
Shanxi Commander-in-Chief Hu Dawei and more than a dozen Xuanda generals rushed to the camp and asked what happened. After receiving Gu Chen's affirmative answer, bursts of cheers rang out throughout the camp.
That night, the entire Xuanda military camp was full of cheers, and all the soldiers were talking about the upcoming arrival of Pang Gang and the grain and grass he had escorted.
Early on the next morning, some soldiers spontaneously looked at Dayingkou. Looking at the anxious eyes of everyone, Lu Xiangsheng seemed calm on the surface, but he was also extremely anxious in his heart. After all, the news had spread. If Pang Gang could not make it on time today,
The impact on the morale and morale of the army will be unparalleled. I am afraid that this army will be dispersed.
Time gradually falls in love with you. At noon, just when everyone was looking forward to it, billowing smoke and dust came from the front, and the shadow of an army gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Here we are, General Pang's troops are here."
More than a dozen Ye Buzuo, who had gone out to inquire about the news a long time ago, came back galloping to beat their horses, shouting incessantly.
After about a meal, a large army marched into the camp in neat formation. Pang Gang was at the front of the team. When Pang Gang entered the camp, Lu Xiangsheng also led the generals to respond.
Pang Gang quickly jumped off his horse, gave Lu Xiangsheng a military salute, and said loudly: "Captain Lu, the last general Pang Gang is here again."
"You...you, I don't even know whether I should scold you or praise you."
Looking at Pang Gang saluting in front of him, Lu Xiangsheng had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know what to say. It stands to reason that Pang Gang left the army regardless of military discipline and should be executed according to military discipline. However, General Lu Xiangsheng also knew from his heart that Pang Gang had no choice but to do so.
, otherwise he will only be killed by Gao Qiqian if he continues to stay in the army. What's more, he also brought the food and grass that the entire army was in short supply. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is his savior.
Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's trouble, the generals came over to persuade him, "Captain Lu and Commander Pang were forced to do so. Besides, the life-saving food and grass brought by Commander Pang this time can be considered as outweighing the merits and demerits."
After hearing what the generals said, Lu Xiangsheng did not want to criticize Pang Gang harshly and asked: "Pang Gang, how much food and grass did you spend this time?"
Pang Gang smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. The last general brought more than 4,000 stones of food and grass, enough to feed the whole army for a month."
"What, are you serious?" Lu Xiangsheng's voice was trembling.
Pang Gang said seriously: "How dare you deceive the governor about such a big matter? Commander, please take a look."
Following the direction of Pang Gang's finger, large carts were driven into the camp one after another. All the carts were piled full. Lu Xiangsheng and the soldiers were very happy. With these grains, all the brothers could open their stomachs.
time to eat
Looking at the soldiers who were in a daze and jumping for joy, Pang Gang laughed and said: "Captain Lu, all the soldiers, I will let the general serve as a host today and treat everyone to a full meal. Everyone is open to eating."
"Long live, long live"
The cheers in the camp soared into the sky... (To be continued)
