Liu Wei and the others set off when the mist had just cleared in the early morning, and they had already reached the edge of the outskirts of Beijing when the evening approached.
Looking back at the vaguely familiar scenery in the distance, Ji Nanzheng sighed long, and buried his old face between his wrinkled hands. A white wolf lies on his side
, White Wolf felt his loss, so he got up and sniffed his ears.
Feeling the moist moisture, Ji Nanzheng put down his hands, facing the white wolf's blue eyes, he patted the big guy's forehead, and said: "There is still you, old man
count. "
Ji Chundong who happened to come in from outside the carriage paused for a moment before speaking: "Father, water."
Ji Nanzheng took the water bowl, took a sip, looked at his tall and stable son, and said, "It's almost here, you should go back before dark."
Ji Chundong frowned and remained silent.
Ji Nanzheng patted his son on the shoulder: "You have a military position and a future, you can already be on your own, even if you don't have a foster father, your life will still go on, so, son, no
To send. "
Ji Chundong frowned: "You said that after going back, the family can be reunited, but if I'm not here, is it also called reunion?"
"Then what do you want?" Ji Nanzheng looked into his son's eyes patiently.
Ji Chundong didn't know what to say, there were too many things in Xianyan Kingdom that he couldn't let go of, the newly found tribe, his wolf boy, his friend, his brother, his life-and-death acquaintance
, his fellow warrior, he was born here, grew up here, this is his hometown, he can't follow in the footsteps of his adoptive father, go to another strange land, he is
As an adult, he has his own responsibilities and his own value.
Even Liu Wei didn't mention letting him leave with them, because she knew what it means to return to everyone.
Raising his hand to wipe his face, Ji Chundong got out of the carriage, stood in front of the carriage, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed three times to the old man in the carriage.
The sound was obviously not loud, but it made the surroundings silent.
After getting up, he closed his eyes, pulled his steed, turned over and jumped up, and then whipped his whip, and in an instant, there was only a dusty back.
Liu Wei got off from another carriage, walked slowly to the front of her grandfather's carriage, opened the curtain, and saw inside, her grandfather was pressing her forehead, and her eyes were red.
Liu Wei sat next to the old man, pressed his hand, and comforted him: "It's fate, we will meet again in the end."
The old man with a dry throat forced a smile and said nothing more.
After a short rest, the carriage continued on. Even though it was getting dark now, they still decided to set off overnight, just because everyone in this train team was in front of them.
All go in another direction.
Parting is sad, but reunion is happy.
They are separated from the people here, but will reunite with another group of people.
Therefore, it is still a happy event.
Because of the rush day and night, half a month later, everyone arrived at the pier of Xijin County as they wished.
Liu Wei sent the special products brought from the capital to County Magistrate Song and his master. The wife of County Magistrate Song insisted on keeping Liu Wei for dinner, but Liu Wei shirked that there were still people waiting and left.
After leaving even the last friend, Liu Wei took everyone on board the boat and walked towards the real path for them to return home.
Nine days later, Liu Wei's boat merged with Rong Leng's three boats, and the four big boats headed towards the route that Rong Leng had surveyed in advance.
At this time, it was almost December, and there were light snowflakes floating on the two rivers.
…
Sharp long arrows pierced people's skin, and in the ancient battleship washed by the rain, the blood-stained officer held his arm and yelled at the soldiers in the deck
: "Fire, fire!"
The timid soldier was sweating profusely. He pressed a certain button with trembling hands, but when he heard the bottom of the ship thump, his expression changed drastically, and he cried: "The back cabin is flooded, the gun, the gun powder!
, can't get out..."
"What?" the commander roared in despair, and then heard the hoarse rebels shouting in the distance, hugged his head in pain, and asked the lieutenant beside him: "Have the reinforcements arrived
Are reinforcements here? "
The adjutant was also seriously injured, he shook his head with difficulty, his face was full of death: "No, I didn't come, I didn't come at this time, General, they won't come..."
Of the seven official ships, only three were equipped with weapons. They fought hard for a day and a night, and lost nearly a thousand naval soldiers. Now, the last ship will also be lost, and the last two hundred people will also be lost.
Living!
The iron-clad admiral's eyes were red, and he silently swallowed tears.
His lieutenant forced himself to hold up the last bit of calmness, held the commander's arm, and said: "The boat has been launched, general, you go first!"
"I won't go!" The naval commander looked stubbornly at the rebel ship that was getting closer and closer, and said through gritted teeth: "I joined the army at the age of fourteen, and I have never been a coward in my life! Come on, kill me!"
me! Have the ability to kill Lao Tzu! "
"General, don't be impulsive!" The lieutenant yelled at the next prisoner, his scarlet eyes were full of hatred for the enemy, and his powerlessness towards the successive deaths of his colleagues
: "Qingzhou City has not sent military aid for a long time, so it must have been suppressed by the rebels. General, you need to arrive back to the capital as soon as possible, and report the war situation with the Seventh Prince. Don't forget, the people in the capital have been deceived."
Damn it! "
The commander clenched his fists bitterly: "Seventh prince, Rong Su, he's no good. He only knows how to talk about state affairs with civil servants all day long, and change some trivial and bullshit national policies. The queen is in the capital."
Well, that bitch privately stationed millions of rebel soldiers, and launched it in one fell swoop, causing the three continents in the south of the Yangtze River to be held hostage, and the fire was burning to the brows.
Together with that bitch, they sing and dance together. What's the use of telling a mentally handicapped man who doesn't even have a long brain? I'm afraid that if he turned his head and brought all the civil and military officials with him, he would turn his back and abandon his armor! "
What the commander said is the truth. Their Haidong Army has always guarded the left side of the two rivers. To the east of Fengzhou, Liaozhou and Nanzhou are located below Fengzhou.
Songzhou, one of the three prefectures, received enemy reports that a large number of pirates had entered Liangjiang, making the people in the prefectures along the river miserable and strewn with corpses.
The Haidong Army was taken aback when they heard the words, because the navy guards the boat fortress, and I don't know why thousands of pirates popped up in Songzhou in the middle of the two rivers for no reason
But when they led troops to support, there were traitors in the rear, and half of the barracks died of poisoning. In the end, the only remaining members of the Haidong Army were those who led troops into Songzhou to subdue the pirates.
When these elites returned to the barracks, the culprits, who had been punished for a long time, wiped them out and struggled on the East China Sea for nearly eight days. Today is the ninth day.
With all the information integrated, only the Haidong Army knew that sneak attacks, traps, traps, and everything was a good thing done by the mother of a country under the imperial power.
And within these nine days, the three continents in the south of the Yangtze River, led by Songzhou, followed by Fengzhou, followed by Nanzhou, were successively captured by the enemy.
The last possibility for the Haidong Army to survive is the reinforcements from the Qingzhou Prefecture. Qingzhou Prefecture is different from other prefectural capitals. The surname Fu in Qingzhou has the final say, especially when Fu Zichen returned to Qingzhou.
Later, it has already become the Dinghai Shenzhen of Qingzhou Prefecture.
The Haidong army believed in the ability of the man who is the pillar of the country, so he asked him for help, but they lasted until the end. Seeing that the last ship was about to be killed by the enemy, the rescue of Qingzhou government was still on the way.
not here.
The lieutenant general is right, they haven't arrived yet, there is only one possibility, Qingzhou has also fallen.
The enemy is well aware of their armament fortress, someone on the other side has a weapon, and they are caught off guard. It's not that soldiers are approaching the city, and no one can react. War, actually
Already close at hand.
Just like those rich and powerful families in the capital, they were born in Taiping, they were rich and luxurious. At this time, they didn't even know anything about the fall of several states in the south of the Yangtze River, let alone how to deal with it.
The commander of the Haidong Army didn't want to leave. He thought it was useless to leave. The invasion of the powerful enemy was fast and fierce, and no one was given time to react. Is it useful to report to the capital now? Albatron
The capable officers and generals are divided into frontier fortresses. They guard between the borders of the two countries, guarding against the invasion of the enemy's horses. At this time, should the border guards be dispatched to Jiangnan to fight? Did not say
Can the army lead the navy? In other words, even if they really let go of the frontier and came to help, if something goes wrong and the frontier is attacked by other countries, who will take charge of the overall situation.
Internal and external troubles, the distribution of national forces has never been easily moved, and far away water cannot save near fire. When the imperial court really orders troops to enter Liangjiang, I am afraid that the seven states in the south of the Yangtze River will have already died.
It's all wiped out.
The leader of the Haidong Army thought about all the things that had happened, and quickly formed a plan in his mind. He pushed the lieutenant general and said, "The battle report must be upheld, you go."
"General!" the lieutenant yelled.
The commander had already grasped the longbow in his hand, closed his eyes fiercely, and said, "I'll cover for you, let's go!"
"General!" The lieutenant general was already crying, and his blood-stained face was washed away by his tears, making him even more embarrassed.
There was a "boom", and at this moment, the enemy's artillery fire sounded again.
On the flat sea area not far away, Yue Dansheng used Liu Wei's self-made object called a telescope to look at the two burning ships in the distance. He frowned and planned to go to the ship.
cabin to go.
As soon as he walked to the door, he bumped into Rong Leng head-on. His face was deep and his eyes were sharp and sharp.
Yue Dansheng subconsciously said: "There seems to be a naval battle ahead..."
Rong Leng's voice was cold and clear: "I heard the sound of artillery fire." As he spoke, he took the binoculars and looked at them for a while. When he put them down, his face was as dark as ink: "It's a warship of the Haidong Army."
Yue Dansheng was about to ask again.
Rong Leng has coldly ordered the boatman in the main cabin: "Set sail at full speed, go fast!"
