In the early morning of the 14th, in the Runing Army camp.
The soldiers packed up the horses, inspected the carts, and prepared to line up to set off. Wu Shigong also had a final conversation with Deng Qifan, Xue Yongli and other left-behind officials.
"Originally I didn't want to stay in the camp for a whole day, but I really had no choice but to rest and recuperate! The horses couldn't stand it, and even the humans couldn't stand it! On the way back, dozens of people had been sickened by frostbite. There was no hot food, no
The days of hot water are indeed difficult!" Wu Shigong sighed.
Deng Qifan quickly reported: "Sir! The students have already been ordered to go down. Food and drinks have been prepared in Zhuangzi along the way, so they will not delay the march of Runing's army. It's just that Xue Yong and Sanhe who walked in front are having a hard time. I don't know where they have gone.
It’s over.”
"It snowed so much in the past few days that their road was not easy to walk. I heard that the Shaanxi bandits have also arrived in Ningling County, and that son of a bitch Yu Zilian also took away Yao Liang's militia group. Now Ning
Several hundred people from Ling County, including Qian Qi, are defending. I hope they can hold on. I have ordered a regiment of Yongzi to arrive at Ningling County on the 15th no matter what."
"The old man who always follows you when it comes to money, please feel free to have him around!" Deng Qifan comforted. He was still used to calling the inherent official positions of the Ming Dynasty, and was not used to calling the new official positions invented by Wu Shigong.
"I hope so! Alas!" Wu Shigong sighed.
In fact, the invasion of the camp at this time has completely blocked the connection between Ningling County and Qianhusuo Fortress, and this line of defense has lost its original role. Therefore, if Ningling County is lost, the situation will not be much worse.
But after all, there are more than 800 soldiers of the Runing Army in Ningling County. Besides, it is much better to avoid losing than to lose.
At this time, Han Shi brought Ren Lai Feng over. Ren Lai Feng had been impatient for a long time. He snorted at Wu Shigong twice, and steam came out of his nose.
Wu Shigong slapped Renlai Feng's butt. He laughed and scolded: "You're just impatient! It'll be over soon!" Then he told Xue Yongli: "Uncle Yongli! The Shaanxi bandits on the south road didn't hurt any bones at all, so they will come again at any time.
We have heavy troops in Ye County, and I left Shumo and Chuge there. It shouldn't be a big deal, but it will be troublesome if they take other roads. As long as they don't get close to our Runing Army's territory, they can do whatever they want.
If the Shaanxi bandits attack Nanyang Fucheng or go to Huguang, we will not care about them. But if they enter our Runing mansion, we will give up all of Runan according to the original plan."
Then Wu Shigong said to Deng Qifan: "We need to speed up the evacuation of the people in Runan. Evacuate all the militia groups and village protection teams scattered in the wild to the county town and village. There is no need to keep people outside. We can't send such a small number of people."
It is of no great use. Now our Runing Army can only protect key cities."
"Understood!" Deng Qifan and Xue Yongli both nodded in agreement.
Wu Shigong jumped on Renlaifeng, who immediately jumped a few times happily on the spot. Han Shi also immediately got on a horse next to him and followed Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong waved to the officials, and then entered the march of the Runing Army.
ranks.
Not long after, a shed with a gauze tent in front appeared. Han Shi reminded from the side: "Master! It's the ladies, the young master, and the ladies."
After returning to the camp, Wu Shigong lived in the camp with all the Runing army officers and soldiers. No one went home to visit relatives. So when they heard that the Runing army was setting off today, the family members of the Runing army spontaneously came to see them off.
Liu Yuan, the new housekeeper of the inner house, stood in front of the shed. As soon as he saw Wu Shigong's personal troops approaching, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Shigong, and reminded loudly into the shed: "I'm fine, sir! My ladies are all here."
Liu Yuan was the bandit who was seriously injured when he attacked Li Yaozi. He later stayed in the inner house and was promoted to the second housekeeper. After Wu Shigong released Chang Meng, he gradually became Wu Shigong's chief housekeeper.
After hearing Liu Yuan's reminder, the ladies and children all stood behind the gauze tent, saluted Wu Shigong and said, "Well, husband!" "Best greetings, father!"
In full view of everyone, Wu Shigong also nodded to the head of the family and said: "My husband is away on war, and my wives also need to worry about home affairs. It is difficult to stay at home during the New Year. I will wait for my husband to win the battle before returning to reunite with the whole family."
Li Xin, the representative of the inner house, immediately replied: "Everything is well at home! Please rest assured, husband! I hope that your husband will return in triumph as soon as possible, and I will prepare a small amount of wine to welcome him and wash away his dust."
Wu Shigong nodded solemnly, but thought in his heart: "How come meeting your family has turned into a grand ceremony? It's really awkward!"
But at this moment, the tough-looking Wu Chengying came out from behind the curtain, and the woman who was serving him from behind also came out and grabbed Wu Chengying's arm. Wu Chengying looked around and immediately found Wu Shigong, and then he was happy
He shouted loudly to Wu Shigong: "Father! Cuckoo--!"
Seeing his son, although it was impossible for him to dismount, Wu Shigong couldn't help but make a face to him. This made Wu Chengying even happier. While he struggled to get rid of his mother-in-law's pull, he didn't know where to take it out.
The small wooden sword was used to chop and kill Wu Shigong, causing the soldiers around him to laugh.
Seeing his second brother being naughty, Wu Shigong's children also appeared from behind the curtain, shouting to attract their father's attention.
Wu Shigong could only stop, dismount and go to the children, touch his head here and there and twist his cheeks. After playing around for a while, he reluctantly left and returned to the team.
But just when Wu Shigong got on his horse, he saw Tao Xin waving in the dark. Wu Shigong looked back and saw Xiaojie crawling back behind the gauze tent like a frightened rabbit.
"Fuck!" Wu Shigong felt uncomfortable again. He immediately said to Tao Xin angrily: "Xiao Xinzi! Are you too young to go to the battlefield and are you afraid? Do you want to leave you at home and be intimate with others?
"
"It's okay!" Unexpectedly, Tao Xin didn't hear the irony in Wu Shigong's words, "I am the Qianhu of the Qianhu Office in Ningling County. If there is trouble there, who will go if I don't go?"
Wu Shigong was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. It was such an eye-opener for him to meet such a stupid apprentice! The most irritating thing was that he actually showed off his excellence in front of his white body and wanted to use his official position of Qianhu to pressure him.
Himself? So Wu Shigong raised his riding crop and pretended to whip him. Unexpectedly, a cry of surprise came from behind him. Wu Shigong looked back, and at some point Xiaojie got out of the gauze tent again.
Wu Shigong was suddenly discouraged. He could only sigh: "Girls are outgoing!"
The team gradually left the camp. Wu Shigong was suddenly surprised. Both sides of the road were full of people seeing him off. Most of those people were family members of soldiers from the Runing Army. When they heard that the Runing Army was setting off again this morning, they came to the camp early in the morning.
People were waiting on both sides of the road outside the camp.
When these family members saw their own family members in the team, they heard greetings from time to time. And the soldiers of the Runing Army who were called by their families also responded in low voices. It was only because of the discipline of the march that they did not dare to leave.
own queue.
When Wu Shigong appeared, all the family members immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Shigong. When Wu Shigong saw him, he quickly ordered: "Hurry up and help those folks up. Don't let them freeze in the snow."
Wu Shigong and his soldiers simply dismounted and walked to greet the people on the roadside. From time to time, he met a few people he knew, and Wu Shigong stopped to chat with them.
An old man said to Wu Shigong: "Sir, you must win the battle this time!"
Wu Shigong understood what the old man meant, so he replied loudly: "Old man, I am taking my sons and sons to protect my family and the country! Not only do I want to win the war, but I also want to bring all my sons and sons back home safely."
Wu Shigong's promise immediately spread among the relatives. As if the promise was magical, they all believed it, so bursts of cheers came from both sides of the road.
Zhou Junwu, who was once again treated coldly, huddled behind Wu Shigong's personal troops. When he saw the lively scene in front of him, and thought of the nearly 20,000 strong troops under Wu Shigong's control, he immediately frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
