Chapter 6 Rumors (Lonely to Eternity for the Leader
When he arrived at the first post station, Yun Zheng planned to teach the pursuers behind him a lesson. Ye Sou's tribe had long told him that there were not many pursuers behind him, and a lot of food for those pursuers had been stolen by them. Since
In this way, these people have nothing to fear.
Yunzheng's army moved in the forest and had to set up a post station every hundred miles to repair and replenish food and water. These Jiaozhi people dared to chase into the jungle with bags of dry food on their backs. Such courage made Yunzheng admire him.
.
It seems that the only people who can survive in the forest without food and water are these monkey-like Khmer people. The soles of their feet are almost turning into monkeys. At least Yun Zheng has never seen that person whose soles can form a semicircle.
Picking at the big tree.
The water source for one or two people is easy to deal with. It can be solved by cutting down a kind of tree vine. There are not many vines in that kind. Just use a knife to cut it, and clear water will flow out. It tastes good and sweet.
But the problem of thousands of people drinking water cannot be solved by one or two canes. Even though there are puddles everywhere in the forest, the water is either poisonous or contains parasites. As long as you drink a few sips, it will be done in a short time.
In just a few days, those bugs will hatch in your intestines and stomach. Before long, your belly will become very big, and eventually you will die as the bugs suck all the nutrients out of your body.
Not to mention the water in the forest, even the rain falling from the sky sometimes has problems. In such an environment, Li Rizun even sent troops to chase and kill them, just to let these people die, in order to stop the mouths of the Cochin people, so as not to
Others said he did not rescue his father.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the rainy season is coming. Whenever a panting animal passes by, the trees on both sides of the road seem to be covered with thorns. Countless locusts stretch their bodies to suck some blood and walk under the trees.
The locusts will fall down like raindrops. The leader of the monkey gang is holding an umbrella and can clearly hear the crackling sound.
The elephant has clamped its tail and rolled up its trunk. The rest of the skin is too thick for the leech to bite. As for the horse, the knight must check it carefully every half an hour to prevent the leech from getting through the silk.
Yi ran in and sucked blood.
Yun Zheng wore a fluffy satin dress and a bamboo hat. He hid and looked at the Jiaozhi people who had been following him for six days. For their convenience, he specially made way for them to leave the station.
Sure enough, in less than a stick of incense, the Jiaozhi people came out of the forest one after another. Yun Zheng could hardly tell whether these people were humans or ghosts. After entering the inn, they didn't even have time to check, and they took off their clothes and started crying like ghosts.
He set the dagger on fire and then impatiently began to remove the locusts from his body.
After the Cochin people had dealt with the locusts, they found that there were soldiers holding crossbows standing around them. Because they were covered with green silk cloth, it was impossible to see them unless they looked carefully in the dim light of the evening.
come out.
Crossbow arrows were fired from the opposite side, and the Jiaozhi people who had no defense fell to the ground wailing. Only those Jiaozhi people who had just entered the inn relied on the cover of their companions' bodies to escape naked into the forest.
Wu Shengjun did not pursue him. Those who escaped naked would not be able to survive in the forest. The smiling Yesou collected a large number of weapons, not counting the weapons obtained from Shenglong City, just the weapons here.
It was enough to arm his few tribesmen.
The inn has become a garden for the dead. Wu Shengjun can no longer stay here. The scavengers in the forest are already patrolling around. Boas as thick as buckets slide over silently and start to devour the corpses. Even in the distance,
The crocodile also ran very fast on its broken legs. This was a place where people held a feast. Wu Shengjun didn't want to disturb him. He quickly shook off the locusts on his body and continued eastward along the muddy road.
After walking for three days in a row, no one came to harass him anymore. After Yun Zheng was sure that he had completely gotten rid of those hateful Jiaozhi people, he ordered the entire army to rest in a new post station. He planned to stay there for three days.
, According to the news left behind, the caravan is not far ahead, and Wu Shengjun must stay as a backup for a few days, otherwise this road will not be able to carry so many people moving forward at the same time.
There is wine tonight, not much, only one big mouthful per person, but this is already a preferential treatment. The merchants left a lot of daily necessities in this inn. It seems that they are adjusting their luggage, and there are five more
They could get out of the jungle in six days, so they abandoned all the extra food and belongings. There were ashes of burned corpses on the edge of the post station, and there were traces of incense and candle worship. These merchants also paid a heavy price during this long journey.
For these people, Yun Zheng admires them. At this time, you can no longer say that they are purely for wealth. They are all smart people. Who doesn't know that the value of life far exceeds money?
This business trip was unforgettable for each of them. Not to mention the long journey, just being able to obtain boundless wealth while surrounded by thousands of troops was an affirmation of their own value.
Their glory lies.
Xiaolin's wounds were no longer in the way, but Liang Ji was having a fever. The continuous battles caused all the hidden injuries in this tough man's body to explode. The newly recruited military doctor said that without a year or two of training, there is no hope of recovery.
vitality.
Yun Zheng was relieved when he heard the news. Wu Shengjun would not be able to move out in the next one or two years. There will be no chance to move out in the future. Those who should go home will go home, and those who should go to business will go home.
Those who ate and waited to die went to eat and wait to die. In short, they could do whatever they wanted. Except for Jiaziying as their personal soldiers, Wu Shengjun really should not exist in this world anymore.
Whether it is the emperor or the courtiers, it is estimated that the arrangement of this army is very troublesome now. They cannot be beaten or scolded, and they cannot afford to provoke them. They are still very worried about sending them out. If these people can disappear automatically, this should be the beginning of the Song Dynasty.
It was a scene that the imperial court was very willing to see.
Everyone knew that they were out of danger, so they gathered in small groups, sipping the meager wine in the bamboo cups and whispering about their future plans.
"My mother, I have fought enough. After returning to Shuzhong, I plan to ask the general for a favor and turn him into a civilian household. This time the reward will not be small. It is enough for me to chew grain. I will find a tree for the rest of my life.
Lie down and eat where there are no bugs."
A man with a roe head and rat eyes raised his foot with satisfaction, killed the locusts on his shoes with a branch in disgust, and said bitterly.
"What Lao San said makes sense. We brothers were able to rise up because we met a good general. The generals in the Song Dynasty changed every five years. Only God knows what will come next time. It is also good to convert to private households as soon as possible.
A good idea is that none of us have military merit. Even if we can't become a high official in the local area, it's still okay to be a policeman and a leader, and it's not bad to live a rich life."
"Idiot!" An older veteran glanced at his companions with disdain and said, "Take money and go back to your hometown? Let's not talk about your poor and crazy relatives at home. Even those village elders can make money in a short time.
You have plundered nothing, and yet you lie down and eat shit, and no one even warms it for you."
The man with the deer head and rat eyes didn't know what horrible scene he thought of and quickly said: "Brother Wen, you are a veteran of Jiazi Camp. In terms of knowledge, you are a hundred times more knowledgeable than our brothers. Why don't you show your brothers a path to fame? Why don't you become a Xiangjun soldier?"
?”
A veteran of Jiazi Camp named Wen rolled his eyes and said, "Think about it, are you competing for the reward you are about to receive in our military camp?"
The three men all shook their heads like wavy drums and said: "Every brother has a reward, but no matter how much, no one will make other people's ideas. But brother, aren't we no longer soldiers? Why?
Are you still in the military camp?"
The man surnamed Wen hated iron and said: "Besides the military camp, there is another place that will not try to steal your money. Let me tell you, I heard from the personal guards serving the general that the general has long disliked you.
The battles were all in disarray. After the commander returned to the court, the generals would mainly take the imperial examination, and the military princes and others would also take the imperial examination and so on.
Our Jiazi camp is easy to say. There are only six or seven hundred people left. We take off our military uniforms and hang out with the generals. Whether they are servants or servants of the family, the arrangements for our children and grandchildren in this life have been taken care of. You idiots
, If you can’t get along with the generals, why can’t you follow the military princes?
Regardless of whether they are generals or military lords, they will be highly valued by the officials after returning to the court, not to mention the military lords who are admitted to the imperial examination. They are noble people with both civil and military skills. The noble people who know the truth are not flattering. What are you going to do?
Even if you can't curry favor with the military prince, why can't you go to the village in Huanzhou? Anyway, where are the families of many brothers? We all still live the same life, they are all wealthy people, that is a good place to live..."
The eunuch Wu Yuntai was strolling around the camp to eat. He liked joking with these rough guys very much. He casually said a few royal allusions and people immediately surrounded him. Such high-level topics were not something that could be encountered all the time.
As they talked, the topic turned to Ban Shi’s future livelihood.
"You are all heroes of our Song Dynasty. If we hadn't fought in a bloody battle this time, it would not have been easy to pacify the south. The official family is an unparalleled king, and he will definitely reward you. You don't even think about it.
Are you going to marry me on horseback?"
"Servant Wu, the Xiang army may not be in good shape. The general looks down on us and says that we won't fight. It's unfair to say that. If we don't know how to fight, who else can fight? Only the general can say this. If
If someone says this, I will definitely fight with him." A man squatted on the ground in frustration.
Wu Yuntai's eyes lit up and he said: "Isn't General Yun's statement inappropriate? In this southern expedition, all the brothers are doing well. As far as our family is concerned, we haven't found anyone who is afraid of the enemy.
When it was time to go into battle, I didn't see a coward. This is a great army. How could the general dislike you? It must be a rumor, it must be a rumor!"
A veteran of the Jiazi camp sneered and said: "The general is right. I followed the general and saw the Qingtang and Xixia people fighting. I have seen what a real elite soldier is, let alone you."
, we are all far behind. This time Lang Junhou competed with the Xixia people in Bianliang City, Tokyo. As a result, even though the weapons were superior, a few brothers still did not come back. The general said, if we don’t have firearms, we will all fight.
