Chapter 19 The True Purpose
Zhu Hui was stunned, as if he did not expect him to be so keen, and couldn't help asking: "Why do you think so?"
"Because of your tone."
Su Hanshan said, "Between the lines in your words, I always feel like I am about to die, but I I haven’t received any kindness from the Yu family, so I don’t have to die here.”
Zhu Hui smiled and said, “You are too worried. So many of us went out just to save the children of the Yu family, and now. We are already here. If we don’t leave, wouldn’t it be a waste of so many days of bloody battles? ”
Su Hanshan did not answer immediately, but just looked at the people chatting.
Among the dozen or so people, there were a few who answered less and didn’t have too many smiles on their faces. They looked very solemn.
Climbing mountains and wading through rivers, fighting bloody battles to this point, and finally done. No matter how reserved a person is, he shouldn't look like this.
The way they look, it seems that what happened so far is just a prelude, and what they have to face next is the real big thing.
“I guess some of you want to escort the Yu family’s children away, while the other part is the one who wants to stay.”
Su Hanshan said, "And those who are about to leave don't know that the other people will stay."
Zhu Hui said nothing and looked at those people with a look of sadness.
Su Hanshan continued: "But I don't understand, what do you people want to do by staying here, to break up the queen?"
"As long as we enter the desert, they can't find out our details. In the direction of travel, even if we disperse our troops and chase them everywhere, we It will be more successful if we come together to fight."
"Spreading your manpower into two groups will only cause the manpower on the other side to be weaker and more dangerous after all of you are killed. It may bring people on both sides to a tragic end.”
Zhu Hui was silent for a moment, no longer denying it, and said: "It's not just us who will stay. Soon, there will be people coming to join us. Our purpose is not just to break up."
Su Hanshan asked: "Then...who?!"
He suddenly turned his head and looked eastward. There was a figure jumping down from the east roof, and everyone drew their swords.
Zhu Hui took a closer look, but quickly shouted: "Don't do anything, this is one of ours too, a friend of Wu Canjun."
The visitor was about thirty years old, handsome and handsome He has sharp eyes, a high nose bridge, only a little cyan can be seen on the skin on his chin, a clean shaven beard, a slender figure, and a black umbrella in his hand.
"Xiao Shaofan, I have met you all."
After he clasped his fists at everyone, his eyes fell on Su Hanshan and said with a smile, "After we entered the city, we realized that the situation here was not as expected. All the people sent here by the factory have been killed, it must be thanks to this young hero."
Su Hanshan also gave him a fist and announced his name.
"It turns out to be Su Shaoxia."
Xiao Shaofan looked around at everyone and said, "Su Shaoxia guessed right just now. The people here will indeed split up and have their own places to go."
The conversation between Su Hanshan and Zhu Hui was not loud, and the group of people chatting and laughing over there did not hear what the two of them were saying.
This man actually heard it from the rooftop. His internal skills are no small feat.
But the effect of his words is more amazing than his internal strength.
The expressions of Tie Zhu and others changed drastically. Regardless of the pain on their wounds, they stood up in a hurry and asked repeatedly: "What do you mean by splitting up?"
"You are this group. The one who should go.”
Xiao Shaofan took out a road map from his arms and threw it to them.
“The group of people escorting the children of the Yu family to leave must arrive at the grain store that Wu Ning set up in the desert before the ninth day of March. They will be on guard during the day and sleep in the cellar at night until the strong wind and sand weather passes. After that, continue on your way.”
"As for the group of people who should be left behind, we already know it in advance and there is no need for me to repeat it."
Tie Zhu and others looked at each other and looked at the few people sitting at the table. The man who didn't move had his eyes full of surprise.
Dora also frowned: "What is going on? It is the best choice for us to go directly into the desert. There is no need to leave anyone behind."
"Because we don't want to break up."
Zhu Hui said calmly, "We want revenge." There was a sigh from outside the door, and about thirty people walked into the dilapidated courtyard one after another. .
The leading man looked about fifty years old. He was wearing a scarf and a cloth robe. He was thin and had a long white beard.
When everyone saw him, they all saluted and said they would join the army.
Even Dora recognized this man, and his face was quite happy to see an old acquaintance.
This person was Wu Ning, who joined the army in Yu Qian's account. He once sat in the position of Minister of War, which was also the second-in-command of the Ministry of War. He was second only to Yu Qian himself. He was a high-ranking man with great power and scheming skills. Walking around in the army every day.
So everyone in Yu Qian’s old department basically recognized his face. Moreover, when he was an official, he also liked to wear such a cloth robe, and the color remained unchanged.
It is said that shortly after the Battle of Beijing, Wu Ning became seriously ill for several days because he used too many scheming methods and resigned from his post to recuperate.
Unexpectedly, now that Yu Qian is dead, this soldier who has returned to the civilian world will appear in front of them again.
After Wu Ning greeted everyone, he also thanked Su Hanshan, and then said to Xiao Shaofan: "Brother, why are you in such a hurry to tell the truth?"
Xiao Shaofan pointed to the ground with his black umbrella: "They will be there tomorrow. If we want to leave, we must tell you tonight. What difference does it make if it is earlier or later?"
Wu Ning looked at Yu Mian's changing face and knew that this nephew had a lot of thoughts in his heart. , shaking his head secretly in his heart.
"Zhu Hui is right. Those of us who stay in the city do not want to break up the throne, but to take revenge, but not only to avenge our family."
Wu Ning faced Everyone spoke sincerely, "Although the loyalty of the court is symbolized by Your Majesty Yu, are the others just wood and stone puppets under Your Majesty's clothes?"
"They and we are all living people with flesh and blood, hearts and thoughts, families and countries."
"In the incident of seizing the door, the eunuch traitors killed everyone in the capital that day. The corpses of hundreds of officials were lying on top of each other in a horrific manner, waiting to be cleaned. The turmoil implicated the local area, and the number of people killed was countless. "
"Nearly all of the people present were those who had personally experienced the turmoil. "
Zhu Ji, Tie Zhu and others all fell silent.
Although Yu Qian’s kindness and fame are great, he still has the ability and courage to participate in this desperate act, and those who kidnapped Yu’s children were basically those who had positions in the military. of.
They worked hard to finally meet a boss who acted with integrity and carve out a future. However, precisely because they had an official position, they became the fastest group of people to be attacked and massacred after the incident. .
When Tie Zhu escaped from the capital, several of his brothers who were as close as brothers died. His dreams were filled with blood and tears, but he might have been the one with the least blood feud among all the people present. one.
The culprit of the incident can be said to be the Supreme Emperor, Cao Jixiang, military commander Shi Heng, and civil servant Xu Youzhen.
But in the minds of those who knew the inside story, the most unquestionable person who committed the most heinous crimes was the governor of Dongchang, Cao Wubo, who was awarded the title of Zhaowu Bo.
Yu Qian is not ignorant of soldiers, nor is he ignorant of people's hearts. Otherwise, he would not be able to establish a new emperor, lead the government, and stay in power for eight years.
Although he wanted to avoid suspicion and would not do anything to control the palace, there were actually people who were willing to report information to him in every important place inside and outside the imperial city. They could be said to be his eyes and ears.
However, on the day of the incident, Yu Qian failed to receive any news and failed to make any timely response.
The biggest reason lies in the hidden power of Dongchang.
Cao Wubo secretly cultivated dead men and recruited big thieves and lords in the arena. On the day of the Seizing of the Gate incident, he robbed and killed all the people who wanted to report to Yu Qian's family, and also disrupted the palace, making Emperor Jingtai mistakenly believe that Yu Qian wanted to rebel, but missed the last opportunity to ask for help to counterattack.
“Some of us still have some care, but some of us have only hatred left.”
"So when I heard that Uncle Cao Wu was going to use his family and children to set up a trap to lure out Zhongliang's old men, I tried every means to contact the people who were determined to take revenge at all costs, and came up with a plan to use the trick."
Wu Ning He continued, "I calculated astronomy, checked geography, and read local dictionaries. According to records, dating back to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it is determined that there will be a strong wind and sandstorm in the Pingyang City area this year that is different from the past. It will start on the ninth day of March and continue to blow for about seven to ten days."
"The troops were divided. Two routes, one to rob prisoners and one to obstruct the Dongchang troops, are just to make us He pretended that he had fallen into the trap, and naturally delayed their arrival in Pingyang City."
"When they arrived in the city, the wind and sand were blowing hard, and it was difficult to keep their eyes open. No matter how many people there were, they would be in chaos. But we have the snow silk masks prepared in advance, and we are not afraid of the dust. Things that can be seen hundreds of feet long, take advantage of the chaos to pounce..."
Wu Ning took a deep breath when he said this, and his slightly old voice unexpectedly sounded like a golden stone, "With me Wait for the flesh and blood to break through the chaos of swords and guns, and go straight to Uncle Zhaowu!"
