Chapter 1288 Prefer to travel to Hushan

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the clear blue sky, the incandescent sunlight makes people afraid to look at it.  The clouds also seemed to be baked away and disappeared without a trace.

    There was still a trace of heat on the ground, and it was as sultry as a steamer.

    Zhao Shouzheng was standing in the shade. The child next to him was huffing and fanning, but his face was still covered in sweat. He didn't know whether it was from fear or heat.

    "Zeng Yiben, is that Zeng Rentu who likes to massacre cities?!"

    "Yes." The intelligence officer nodded and said: "I heard that there is chaos in Chaozhou. They have gathered several groups of pirates in Penghu. Their number is said to be 50,000. They have captured Nan'ao Island and are preparing to go up the Han River and take Chaozhou directly.  City!"

    "Are the officers and soldiers of Nan'ao Island so vulnerable?" Zhao Shouzheng first exclaimed, then waved his hand and said, "Pretend I didn't say that."

    Then he quickly asked: "What's the situation in the city now?"

    "The group is leaderless and in chaos." The intelligence officer said: "I heard that even the most basic question is whether to defend or flee. When the villain passed by, he saw that the fleeing rich and common people had formed a long queue.  .¡±

    "That's it" Zhao Shouzheng remained silent and kept wiping his sweat with a towel.  .  In fact, he didn't know what to ask. How could a scholar who grew up in the prosperous land of Taiping have ever seen such a battle?

    Fortunately, we have two old gentlemen, Xu and Wu, to escort us. Both of them have fought against Japanese invaders. The former was also the chief military advisor in the fight against Japanese invaders. He has seen scenes ten times more dangerous than this.  Where is this?

    The two of them carefully inquired about the enemy's equipment, origin, training situation, food carried, and the movements of Lin Daogan, etc.

    After all the questions were answered, the intelligence officer was asked to go down first.

    I saw Mr. Zhao standing there still dripping with sweat and looking pale.

    Xu Wei shook his cattail leaf fan and said with a smile: "My boss, are you scared to death?"

    "Oh, it seems the city is in danger." Zhao Shouzheng finally came to his senses, took a dry towel and continued to wipe his sweat.

    "Then what should we do? Withdraw to Zhao'an County?" Xu Wei said with a teasing smile: "It's a good idea. Zeng originally wanted to recruit people from An, but the rabbits still don't eat the grass around the nest."

    "Is it appropriate to withdraw?" Zhao Shouzheng asked in a daze.

    "Why is it inappropriate? Don't you also know that Zeng Rentu likes to massacre cities the most? Now when you go to Chaozhou, don't you light a lantern in a manhole and seek death?" Xu Wei said with a smile.

    "What do you think, Mr. Wu?" Zhao Shouzheng asked Wu Chengen again.

    "If we want to retreat, we have to retreat now. If we go further, we will enter Chaozhou Prefecture. If we retreat further, it will be called fleeing and leaving the post without permission." Wu Chengen said.

    "What about retreating now?" Zhao Shouzheng asked rhetorically.

    "The most I can do now is to shrink back and be scolded a few times. I won't lose a few pieces of meat." Wu Cheng'en, a staff member, was much more qualified. He thought for Mr. Zhao and said: "Chaozhou is in such chaos now. Dong Weng really shouldn't have done it."  It's too dangerous to wade through this muddy water. Those pirates don't care whether you are the top scholar or not, or what rank you are. You can't count the number of prefects killed in Fujian and Guangdong with both hands."

    After a pause, he continued: "And don't you know that the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty doesn't know? The more you do, the more mistakes you make, and the more you don't do, the better. Once the stain of Chaozhou's fall is stained, it will never be washed away in the future, and your career will be over.  "

    "Well" Zhao Shouzheng nodded, covered his face with a handkerchief, raised his head and said weakly: "Let me think about it, let me think about it."

    "But you have to think about it carefully." Xu Wei crossed his legs, drank ice-cold wine in his spare time, and sang in a Kunqu opera tune: "One step to heaven, one step to hell!"

    "You said I want to pee" Zhao Shouzheng looked at him helplessly and walked deep into the forest to pee.

    "You should say less." The writer glared at his wife and said, "Mr. Zhao spent a lot of money to support you, not just for you to treat his father like a monkey."

    "Hey, I'm doing this for his own good." Xu Wei smiled heartlessly: "His son can provide him with hundreds of helpers, and we can also help him with suggestions, but he has to come up with the ideas."

    As he spoke, he drank the wine in the cup and said: "If we really enter Chaozhou, there will be many difficult choices. Where is this? If he doesn't have that consciousness, he can return to the county seat as soon as possible to benefit others and himself. We are here  Despite your age, you don¡¯t have to be exhausted in the hot weather.¡±

    "Alas" These words were so crude that the writer was speechless.

    The two talked for a while, and then they saw Mr. Zhao coming out of the woods with a pale face.

    "What, is this a case of constipation?" Gudan Painter said with a smile.

    Wu Chengen glared at him and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Dong Weng, do you want me to order him to turn around now?"

    "I won't turn around." Zhao Shouzheng shook his head and said weakly: "?Spicy!  Xu Wei rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, stop trying to persuade me. If you try to persuade me again, I will urge you to update!"  "

    "There is no need to open a pot and lift it." The writer was stabbed in his weakness and did not dare to say anything.

    ??~~

    At this time, after Mr. Zhao finished speaking, he came over to the two of them to ask for advice.

    "Two gentlemen, how should we draw up a charter after we arrive in Chaozhou?" Zhao Shouzheng asked very politely.

    "It turns out you have no idea. It sounded like you had the pearl of wisdom in your hands just now." Xu Wei said with a smile.

    "Hehe, aren't there two gentlemen here?" Zhao Shouzheng scratched his head and said with a smile: "To be honest, when my son went north, he said, father, when you encounter difficulties, don't mess around, remember that everything cannot be decided.  Lao Wu, Lao Wu will ask Lao Xu."

    "Oh, hahaha." Xu Wei was very happy when he heard the words, and laughed: "Thankfully, that kid also knows not to bother me with trivial matters."

    "Yes, it's not easy. Now I finally have something important to ask Mr. Ji." Zhao Shou hurriedly smiled and said, "I wonder how Mr. Ji will work out?"

    "Just listen to Lao Wu. Although his qualifications are mediocre, he has led his countrymen to fight against the Japanese for many years, and he still has some experience." Xu Wei said lightly: "Then just wait for me to save you!"

    When Wu Chengen looked at Xu Wei and said this, his whole body seemed to be glowing.  I couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly. This should be what Zhao Hao calls a "performing personality". He likes to be in the limelight. The bigger the stage, the more excited he is

    ps. Sorry everyone, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are a lot of things to be busy with.  It's almost eight o'clock when I get home today, and I have to hurry up and finish writing a chapter.  Try to write early tomorrow.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
