One Two One Untitled

On the ninth day of the sixth month, early in the morning, forty miles outside Wuliang Town...
It was rare to rain last night, and the disrepaired official road was rushing to muddy. On this muddy and difficult official road, the soldiers in the Forty-one Hall in front of the Palace were panting heavily, stepping on the bumpy official road with messy steps, walking on the bumpy official road, and heading towards the destination ahead with a nervous look on their faces...
As the head coach, Shi Zongjie also looked at the soldiers' haggard and nervous and frightened expressions in his heart, and felt increasingly uneasy...
Two days ago, Shi Zongjie finally decided to send troops to Wuliang Town. After all, the army's food and grass now depends on Zhao Yuanji to help. If he doesn't listen to him, the 80,000 Palace Front Office who went to fight this time would probably starve to death here before he could fight with the thieves...
This was a last resort. At the same time, Shi Zongjie also tasted the consequences of his "benevolence" towards refugees in the past.
After serving the porridge that day, he sent the food and left the three women. When the army set off on the second day, tens of thousands of hungry refugees were posing with great desire and expectation, hoping to get some food from this "teacher of benevolence and righteousness"...
As a result, when the refugees called him "General Benevolent and righteous" and "Living Bodhisattva", Shi Zongjie was very excited. When he was soft-hearted, he began to feed porridge and food again. No matter how Gu Qian advised him, it was useless. He even had a big fight with him...
Then what happened was as Gu Qian had expected before. Wherever his army followed, the group of refugees would follow. When he was about to enter Heyuan, a total of 100,000 refugees followed his army to wait for food and relief...
At this time, Shi Zongjie felt the situation was serious and regretted it. Gu Qian advised him to use military power to disperse the refugees, but his kind-hearted personality could not bear to drive these refugees away. Gu Qian was so angry that he turned around and left.
When they entered the territory of Caizhou, the military rations carried by the Palace Front Office were almost gone. When the refugees saw that they could no longer get food, they were afraid that Zhao Yuanji and the thieves would come to kill him, so they fled in all directions...
When Shi Zongjie came to Caizhou, he learned that the situation in Heyuan was already extremely serious. Gaoyang and Wuliang Town fell one after another, and the pseudo-Chang bandits had formed a cross-strait encirclement of Caizhou, and a war was about to begin.
As the army's food and grass were about to be exhausted, Shi Zongjie had to ask Zhao Yuanji to allocate grain to solve the urgent needs and stabilize the morale of the army. However, Zhao Yuanji was indeed as treacherous as Gu Qian said. Except for verbally agreeing to his request, he did not send a grain of grain for more than ten days. Until the military rations in front of the palace were completely exhausted, there was no sign of Zhao Yuanji delivering food. Shi Zongjie was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan...
In the crisis, Gu Qian stepped forward again, argued with Zhao Yuanji, and even bought a coffin and carried it to the gate of the Governor's Office of Caizhou. Finally, he had no choice but to reach an agreement with Zhao Yuanji: half of the troops in the front office of the Palace strengthen the Caizhou defense line, and asked Shi Zongjie's army to attack Wuliang Town as soon as possible to lift the face threat from the pseudo-chang to Caizhou. Shi Zongjie then led a 40,000 army to start a battle to the Wuliang Town Fortress in the northwest. In fact, what would happen to this battle, Shi Zongjie really didn't dare to think about it...
"Stir~ squirt~"
A harsh wooden shaft turned to break Shi Zongjie's contemplation. He quickly looked back and saw a mule cart dragging siege equipment sinking into a mud pit. A bunch of soldiers around him were gritting their teeth and pushing it out with all their strength. But no matter how hard they tried, the wheels of the mule cart just swayed back and forth, without any sign of getting out of the pit.
Seeing this, Shi Zongjie immediately jumped off the horse, called out a few soldiers, and pushed the wheels with all his strength...
“One or two, hey~~”
“One or two, hey~~”
Everyone shouted loud slogans, and after working together, they finally pulled the car out of the pit. The mules and horses neighed and continued to carry the heavy siege equipment forward...
"Huh~"
Shi Zongjie let out a heavy breath, patted his palms covered with mud stains, looked at the mule cart away, and smiled comfortably.
The principle of "sharing joys and sorrows with the soldiers at any time" has been firmly imprinted in Shi Zongjie's mind. He has indeed done this for several months. He believes that only in this way can he be loved and respected by the soldiers...
However, what Shi Zongjie didn't know was that during the war, what really allowed the soldiers to support was a powerful general who could lead them to achieve success on the battlefield and achieve victory, rather than a Confucian scholar who only knew how to ask about his well-being. Whether Shi Zongjie was a Confucian scholar or a powerful general would be immediately known...
Shi Zongjie closed his eyes and said in his heart: "Ruyuan, have you seen it? I have changed, I have become less cowardly than before, and I have become brave enough to face and challenge all difficulties. Will you be satisfied with me like this?"
...
"Aoah~"
“Woo~~”
"Aoah~"
Five broken manors more than 20 miles away from the army in front of the palace, Luo Song's five thousand "Qingfeng Camp" soldiers were urging by the horn. The astonishing momentum made Zhu Song and Zong Sheng, who surrendered to the fortress of Wuliang Town, were also shocked. They widened their eyes and looked at the group of wild young and strong men who were licking blood on the blade fortress, licked their dry lips together, and their Adam's apples kept rolling up and down.
Luo Song was wearing an iron armored battle robe, on the horse's back, and glanced at the soldiers of the Qingfeng Camp with wolf-like eyes, raised the silver spear in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Brothers! You are the tiger and wolf Iron Division brought out by me, Luo Song. In just two years, you have fought all over Heyuan, making those incompetent officers and soldiers frightened when they heard the name of the Qingfeng Camp. Even the elite aces of the Great Zhou and the Thunder Army were beaten to the knees and surrendered by us!"
"Aoah~"
When the five thousand Qingfeng Camp soldiers heard this, they roared wildly again. A man with black skin and an iron tower even tore open the armor on his chest, and a pair of thick iron fists kept hitting his chest, making an extremely terrifying roar, as wild as a gorilla in heat...
Zhu Song and Zong Shengwen, who were beside them, and the soldiers of the Thunder Army affiliated battalion who surrendered behind them, after hearing Luo Song's words, lowered their heads awkwardly amid the intense voices of the Qingfeng Camp soldiers. It was not that they were willing to surrender, but that the commander Wei Yang and his direct troops had become prisoners in the thief ranks. What can these soldiers of the affiliated battalion do?
Luo Song pressed his hand and slowly calmed down the emotions of the Qingfeng Camp soldiers who were in a madness and continued to say loudly: "The scholars called us thieves, and the people regarded us like beasts. No matter where they went, they would be secretly poked their backs and scolded them, so that we could not stand in the sun with pride.
However, who is the culprit of all this? It is the inhumane levy and levy of the Zhao family! It is the bloody way for the aristocratic family to take human life! It is the indifference and ruthlessness of the Great Zhou royal family! It is because of these borers that eat people and do not spit bones that force us to even survive become a luxury!
In order to survive, we have to become the most inconvenient existence in the eyes of the world! All of this is their force! We have to pick up weapons to tear the entire dirty and twisted world into pieces! Brothers, you are soldiers of Qingfeng Camp!
What is the Qing Peak! Being indomitable, standing proudly on the top of the mountains, looking down at the people under your feet! No one can climb up to your head, you are all the most powerful warriors!"
"Aoah~"
"Qingfeng Camp~"
"Aoah~"
"Qingfeng Camp~"
Inspired by Luo Song's passionate words, the atmosphere of the Five Thousand Tigers and Wolves was ignited to the extreme, and the endless shouts echoed in the entire broken manor until they penetrated into the sky and merged with the heaven and earth.
Who would be born as a thief? Who would be an enemy of the whole world? It was just because he couldn't survive anymore. In the years of severe drought, the court was indifferent, and the scholars still exploited him and robbed the land he had worked hard. Everyone had to sell their children for a full meal. His wife became a slut with the husband who could do the best. His husband was squeezed by the government and could not lift his back. Even so, everyone still couldn't survive...
What are the people asking for? Just a full meal. What else can it happen if even the qualification to live like a dog is deprived? What else is there to be terrible? Apart from the path of rebellion, are there any other choices...
Many Qingfeng camp soldiers shouted with tears in their eyes, empathizing with every word Luo Song said, wishing to cut down Zhao Yuanji and the damn scholars' families into a pool of blood immediately...
Luo Song waved his hand again to suppress the ignorant emotions of the generals, his eyes turned cold, and he pointed to the south and said loudly to them: "Soldiers, now, another group of soldiers who are ignorant of the sky and earth have come to Caizhou! They claim to be the imperial palace front office, from the Shendu, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They are arrogant and like those scholars, they think they are superior to others.
Their head coach was named Shi Zongjie, a famous family member in Suzhou, Jiangnan. He is now appointed as the general of the rebellion by the Dog Emperor of the Great Zhou.
There are many people in them. According to the Ma Lai newspaper, there are 80,000 people. This time there are as many as 40,000 people coming to Wuliang Town, and you only have 5,000 people. Facing eight times your enemies, are you confident of defeating them? Are you confident of defeating the arrogant and domineering Beijing Army this time!"
"I'm afraid of him!" The man with a dark skin like an iron tower shouted loudly, "Even the Thunder Army was beaten to a mess by us. How could it be scary for just tens of thousands of Beijing soldiers who didn't know the fire of the beacon! Kill him, capture Shi Zongjie's little face alive, and give a warning to the group of dog officials in Caizhou!"
“Good saying it~”
"Aoah~"
The black man's words soon gained the recognition of all the generals, and shouts echoed over the Pozhuang again.
"Okay, the whole army obeys the order!" Luo Song saw that his morale had been pushed to the top, his eyes suddenly curled and he shouted sternly, "You can go halfway, block this pitiful and sad palace front office, and completely tear the face of the Great Zhou Dynasty! Qingfeng Camp, yell, go to the expedition~"
“Woo~~”
"Aoah~"
Dozens of horns sounded, and the five thousand Qingfeng camps' wolf howls in hand holding spears, swords and shields, stepped out of the manor, lined up neat arrays and slowly headed southward.
"You three thousand people..." Luo Song came to Zhu Song and Zongsheng who were already stunned, and said to them with a blank expression: "When Shi Zongjie's troops are defeated, remember to lead their troops to encircle them and try to capture a few prisoners. Remember to remember that I want you to bring Shi Zongjie to me alive. Do you understand?"
"I understand, understand..."
