(happy National Day)
The sky in the afternoon was a bit gloomy, with thick clouds like curtains in the long sky. The cool autumn wind blows from the northwest, the forests in the four fields sway, and the branches and leaves make a slight rustling sound.
Heavy rain is imminent.
There are thousands of boats on the Baigou River, the flags are like waves, and the spears are like forests.
The big ones are like city towers, seven or eight feet high, and they are building boats, which can accommodate hundreds or nearly a thousand people, and they are in the center; Beasts, arrow holes are erected on the parapet of the ship, and the bow is wrapped in cowhide. It is a fighting ship, which can accommodate more than a hundred people, and is arranged on the periphery.
The fleet came with the wind and anchored one by one on the banks of a wide and gentle river. Accompanied by the order from the gate of the school, the sailors fixed the ship and set up the long plank.
Groups of soldiers led mules to disembark from various places.
All of a sudden, the riverside was full of people's voices, and the sound of wearing iron armor and rings was endless.
On the third deck of one of the huge ships, a young general in Mingguang armor stood with his sword in his hand, looking around with calm and domineering eyes. An indestructible aura spread out from him, enveloping thousands of soldiers around him.
Zhu Yin, a military general.
After a while, a cultivator from the Realm Reality flew over from the northern sky, landed on the building where Zhu Yin was, and clasped his fists to report to him: "General Zhu, the guards are closed and there is no sign of mobilizing cavalry to harass our troops ashore!"
Zhu Yin's face remained unchanged: "Where is my Jingqi now?"
The one who answered his question was the lieutenant beside him, who said: "The five thousand elite cavalry who are marching on the shore, echoing the navy, are now at most twenty miles away from Yuanju."
The river bank where the army landed was only more than ten miles away from Yuanju County.
Zhu Yin nodded: "Let Jingqi go to the city of Yuanju and watch the opponent's every move. If the opponent shows signs of sending troops to attack the river, there is no need to report it, just intercept it immediately!"
"Take orders!"
He looked at the cultivator in the real world: "Please take someone to look in the direction of Caozhou. If there are reinforcements there, please report back immediately."
"Don't worry, General Zhu, there will be no trouble." The cultivator in the real world clasped his fists slightly, and then led a group of monks to fly towards the east of Caozhou.
Zhu Yin didn't say much anymore, and continued to stare at the soldiers as they landed with a cold face.
As one of Zhu Wen's most trusted generals, Zhu Yin was entrusted with the important task of leading 50,000 cavalry and 800 soldiers to attack Yuanju this time.
To be able to become Zhu Wen's trusted general, Zhu Yin not only relied on the same surname and family as Zhu Wen, but he had been by Zhu Wen's side as early as when Zhu Wen followed Huang Chao to fight in the north and south.
In the past, Zhu Wen's family worked as servants in Liu Chong's mansion in Xiao County. Zhu Wen, who was not doing business, was idle. Whether it was hunting in the mountains or dancing with a spear, he was a good hand. Gradually, a group of young ruffians gathered around him. .
At that time, Zhu Yin fooled around with Zhu Wen and others. When I was hungry, I sneaked around, and when I was short of money, I went to the mountains to hunt. I didn’t know how many people poked my spine behind my back, and I didn’t get reprimanded and disappointed eyes when I returned home. This is a few years in a flash.
In the eyes of others, they live a carefree life, and they are a group of heartless guys. However, both Zhu Wen and Zhu Yin knew that this kind of life would not last long, and they still had to go on the road of getting married and having children.
It's just that apart from being able to fight, being smart and active, and having more eyes than those rigid peasants, they don't have any serious skills.
If this was placed in peacetime, if Zhu Yin could not turn his prodigal son back in time, it would be a good fate not to go to prison, and in the end he would only end up lonely and old for life. Maybe starving to death at home will not be discovered in time.
Even if the prodigal son turns back, it will be the life of a farmer.
At this time, Huang Chao raised an incident in Xianzhi.
Everyone felt that the opportunity had come.
Zhu Wen said to Zhu Yin and others: "You and I are illiterate, so we only have strength and cleverness. If you want to have a beautiful wife and concubines, you have to join the army or steal. Now the court is incompetent, and corrupt officials are like cow hair. If you and I go to join the army, we don’t have the support of dignitaries, and we don’t have the money to bribe the officials, so it will be difficult to make a good appearance, and we may even be bullied.”

"At present, the imperial dynasty is in turmoil, and wars are everywhere. Wang Xianzhi raised troops in Puzhou, and Huang Chao raised troops in Caozhou. The court soldiers have nothing to do with them. This is our opportunity. Brave men like you and me, if we follow them to become a big thief It's very easy to grab some beautiful women's money. You can live a carefree life and don't have to worry about carrying on the family, wouldn't you be happy?"
These words reached the hearts of Zhu Yin and the others.
That is to say, these people are wild monsters on weekdays, and they are much more courageous than ordinary people. They dare to think and do, and they can't accomplish anything by themselves, so they don't have to be reluctant to part with the crops in the field and the food at home.
A group of scumbags have no worries and no other options. If they want to change their situation, they must find another way out.
They packed their bags, took their sticks, and left the village amidst the ridicule of their fellow villagers and the scolding of their parents. Asking for the way along the way, he walked hundreds of miles with his eyes darkened, and finally found Huang Chao's army.
Since then, Zhu Yin and his gang have become robbers, killing people without blinking an eye.
Soon they discovered that they were really suitable for this job.
So a group of fellow countrymen raped and plundered silver and did all kinds of crimes. They drank in big bowls and divided gold and silver in big scales. They really lived happily.
It's just that when fighting north and south, it is inevitable to be displaced, and sometimes flee in a hurry after losing a battle, no different from a bereaved dog.
The fellow countrymen around me died in battle one by one, and many of them belonged to different generals, and they gradually lost their news. It is not known whether they died in that stinking ditch, whether their bodies were buried and burned, or were eaten by wild dogs.
However, they have no way of turning back. They are thieves for a day and they will be thieves for life. Even if they escape to the countryside, they will be arrested by the officials.
The dead don't think about these things, and the status of those who can live for a long time has risen, and it is not so easy to let go of wine and sex.
Many times, Zhu Yin would also think, when will this kind of hasty and robbery days be the end. How will he die, will his family know that he is dead, even if they know, dare to build a grave for him and set up a spiritual place.
Zhu Wen became the envoy of the Xuanwu Army when he could hardly find his companions who left the village together wearing commoner clothes and carrying sticks in anxiety and excitement. And Zhu Yin also transformed himself into an official of the imperial court. With a clear confession, he can return to his hometown in fine clothes and become prominent in the village.
Running north and south, the soles of the shoes are worn out, bloody battles all day long, and there is no tomorrow after today, and the life of not daring to go back to see his parents all day long, so it has nothing to do with him.
He is a serious fourth-rank general of the imperial court, standing at a height that was unimaginable no matter what he was young.
He glorified his ancestors, and the first thing he did when he returned to his hometown was to repair his ancestors' tombs and hold a feast for his fellow villagers.
From then on, he could stand upright in front of his parents, spend a lot of money in front of his fellow countrymen, and be praised and flattered by everyone.
He became a role model in the village, the threshold of his family was stepped on, everyone he saw had a kind and envious smile on his face, and he was followed by countless young people.
A man should be like this.
Zhu Yin is very clear that he can have everything today, three points depend on himself, rely on the bloody fights in the past, three points depend on luck, he did not die in the chaos, and the remaining four points depend on Zhu Wen, who led He changed from a thief to a court official.
He is loyal to Zhu Wen with all his heart, and he will not allow anyone to deprive him of his current status, identity and glory.
Therefore, Zhu Yin always took the initiative to ask for orders whenever he went to war, and he was often the vanguard.
Zhu Wen said that King An was a threat, and there could only be one prince in the Central Plains and the North.
Zhu Yin led the army to Yuanju.
Even if the opponent is the most prestigious prince in the dynasty, a victorious general who has rarely fought in the world, this time Zhu Yin is obliged. Regardless of whether he is guilty or not, he must play.
Zhu Yin met King An.
After Huang Chao broke through Chang'an in the early years, he used troops on all sides to expand the scope of control, and then various feudal towns gathered Qin Wang. After they captured Dengzhou City, he followed Zhu Wen to Xuzhou to inquire about the enemy's situation, and met King An who also came to inquire about the enemy's situation in a tea shed.
At that time Zhu Wen fought against Li Ye.
This experience made Zhu Yin understand King An's strength better than others.
But he wasn't afraid.
It's like when I took a package with only a change of clothes, followed Zhu Wen and others with a stick, and resolutely walked out of the village.
Zhu Yin had no choice.
First fight the Tianping army, and then the Pinglu army.
For Zhu Wen, even more myself.
"Report! General Zhu, enemy reinforcements are found in the direction of Caozhou!"
Halfway through the landing of the army, a monk who had gone to the east to investigate rushed back.
Zhu Yin lowered his brows and narrowed his eyes: "How many people are there?"
"It's about 15,000 steps, and it came out of Caozhou City!"
Zhu Yin pondered.
Caozhou City is only more than forty miles away from Yuanju County. If the soldiers and horses there march in a hurry, it will only take half a day to arrive.
Zhu Yin glanced at the army assembled by the river, and ordered: "Let the Jingqi stop staring at the injustice, and go to harass and intercept Caozhou soldiers and horses!"
Now nearly 20,000 people have landed on the shore, which is enough to form a defensive formation to deal with the enemy's impact under normal circumstances.
No, it's not defense. If the defenders of Yuanju dare to come over, Zhu Yin has the confidence to defeat them with their soldiers and horses, which are no more than ten thousand.
It's good if the other party doesn't come, but if they come, they will die.
In this way, Zhu Yin was able to capture Yuanju county with little effort.
Just when Zhu Yin was thinking about the possible battle situation, he suddenly frowned and looked towards the south bank of Baigou.
He sensed a powerful cultivation fluctuation coming from there.
However, it is not a large number of strong men, but only three or five monks.
Before Zhu Yin was aware of the more detailed situation, there was also a powerful fluctuation in cultivation from a hill in the northwest direction deep in the north bank of Baigou.
The same is four or five breaths.
Zhu Yin's eyes gradually darkened.
Relying on the military general's cultivation base, it is not difficult for him to judge that the fluctuations in the cultivation base of the south bank are quite different from those of the north bank, but they come from two different sects.
He is very familiar with one of them.
