Chapter 40 Chapter 40
Three thousand soldiers, after several days and nights of march, lined up at the ferry on the riverside in the suburbs, waiting for their new commander and their upcoming fate.
In front, the wind is low and the clouds are locked in the river.
The sun has not yet risen, and the river is still gray and there is nothing to see.
He was sent here from the stable Jiankang Suwei Battalion and transformed into soldiers who were about to cross the north.
They naturally heard of Li Mu's great reputation when the governor crossed the river to fight.
He once brought back the Gao family's children in front of the rebels of Linchuan King alone.
In the Battle of Jiangbei against Beixia, he was the vanguard. He won five battles and five victories. The emperor personally rewarded him and he was named Hu Ben.
As for Chongyang Jingya, he beat the prince of the Lu family and finally brought the noble daughter of Gao family back, it was even more well-known.
He is the fastest-risen poor general in the Dayu Army so far. This is all the people standing here today.
But this cannot bring them much confidence and comfort.
With a few thousand people, against 100,000 Liangzhou soldiers and horses, this trip is like hitting a stone with an egg, leaving no return.
From the lowest-level soldiers to the sergeant commander, the commander, the commander, the generals, and the 3,000 people lined up here. Although they were dressed in bright armor and were full of swords and halberds, their eyes that looked towards the north bank of the river were filled with unconcealed fatigue and despair.
Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves was like a drum that was faintly beaten in the army, coming from far to near, into everyone's ears, and also breaking the deadly silence before dawn on the riverside.
The soldiers followed the sound and saw a row of people and horses appear in the direction of Jingkou. The horse's hooves leaped and the flags turned around.
It seemed as if in just a blink of an eye, the group of people had just appeared, and they had penetrated the morning mist in the distance and came in.
A man in armor appeared in everyone's sight with a tall black horse.
He held his hips and a strong war horse under him, and quickly ran to the ferry.
This is a young man, only in his twenties. The morning light is dim, and his grim face is hidden deep in it. However, under the general's captain, his eyes are majestic and he cannot be violated.
He stopped the horse, but he didn't get off, still sitting high above the back of the war horse. Two strict eyes swept across the queue in front of him.
A dragon fighting Xuanhuang momentum came immediately.
Everyone was shocked by the momentum he exuded.
The ferry of three thousand people suddenly became silent.
He looked around. Wherever he looked, the soldiers raised their chests.
His eyes finally fell on the front flag soldiers.
The flag soldier was originally holding the flag and holding the flag. He was shocked and stood up straight, and the flagpole in his hand was straightened.
The flags unfold in the wind, wrapping the river breeze, making a sound of rushing.
The man raised his arms to show the joints in his palms towards the three thousand soldiers.
"I am Li Mu! The governor of the throne to pacify Shu this time! From today on, you will all obey my orders! If the order is implemented, the ban will be stopped! If anyone dares to violate my orders, the military law will be dealt with!"
His voice was teleported from afar with the wind, reaching the ears of everyone at the ferry, full of majesty.
It is a supreme majesty that only those who are tempered by blood can have.
The ferry crossing was silent, everyone held their breath and calmed their breath, raised their heads slightly, and stared at the young man who seemed to suddenly fall from the sky.
"You can hear my words?"
He shouted, as if thunder burst into three feet above his head.
"I heard it!"
Involuntarily, everyone was in unison, and they tried their best to respond in unison.
The response of three thousand people instantly overwhelmed everything, and the sound was like thunder, which shocked a group of gulls for food on the riverside in the distance, flapping their wings and fleeing.
"The officers and soldiers of the Suwei camp have always been despised by the field army. I think you have been ridiculed when you come to fight this time. But you are really not as good as others? No! How come you are born inferior to others when you eat the same stove and the rice. It's just that you haven't given you a chance in the past! Jiangdong has many heroes since ancient times! This trip to the north is an excellent opportunity for you! Although this battle is difficult, the key to using troops is to use troops, and there is no need to be in the crowd! This battle is not without a chance to win!"
"I, Li Mu, are not afraid!"
"I'm here to speak. Anyone who is afraid can leave the list and take off his armor. I will let you go and never stop you!"
After his words fell, the snow was silent all around him.
Everyone's eyes showed a thrilling look, and no one moved.
Li Mu nodded slightly, his expression slowed down, and his eyes flashed over the three thousand solemn soldiers in front of him again.
"Since no one comes out, starting today, you are all my soldiers of Li Mu! I led by Li Mu, no soldiers who are afraid of death, nor are there soldiers who are sent to death! I want you to remember another thing! This time I will take you to Jiangbei, not to die, but to follow me, Li Mu, to make achievements and spread reputation throughout the world!"
"Make a success!"
"Famousness spreads to the world!"
Everyone couldn't suppress their excitement in their hearts. They raised their halberds and swords to shout in unison at this young general who seemed to be born a god of war.
Amid the shouts, the depressed aura that filled the ferry for a moment was swept away, and even the boatmen who had been traveling between the ferry for many years were excited, kneeling on the bow of the boat and bowing to the sky.
The deputy general stepped forward to report the roster, and everyone responded loudly.
After that, the sky was bright and the mist lingering on the river in the distance gradually dissipated.
The soldiers were in high spirits and boarded the ship in a row, in order.
Three thousand soldiers and horses, together with the baggage, were watching the people of Jingkou not far away, and gradually moved away towards Jiangbei.
Luo Shen washed up randomly, put on his clothes, and hurried to the front hall. He saw Lu sitting there, groping, slowly holding a sole of a shoe. A Ting was on the side, and was threading a needle for her. The surroundings were extremely quiet.
Hearing the footsteps, A Ting raised his head: "Sister-in-law, have you gotten up?"
The "husband" left home early in the morning and sent troops to fight. At this moment, people didn't know where they had arrived, but they just woke up.
Toward Lu, who was considerate everywhere, Luo Shen couldn't help but be embarrassed. He called Ajia and whispered: "It's really not good for me. I slept so late. Even the husband couldn't even leave early in the morning."
Before Lu said, Ah Ting robbed, "Em and I took my brother out this morning. My brother said that he had said goodbye to his sister-in-law last night. My sister-in-law slept late and was tired. She told me not to quarrel with you."
Lu nodded with a smile: "But it's just delivered to the door. As long as you feel, you don't have to be stubborn."
Luo Shen slowly let out a sigh, thought for a while, and said, "A family, I want to go to the ferry entrance."
When Luo Shen took A Ting to the ferry, the last warship full of soldiers had sailed towards the middle of the river.
The waves by the river are rolling snow, and the waves are rippling.
Many people from Jingkou were still immersed in the excitement that had been a moment ago, gathered on the riverside and discussed it.
The Luo Shen's face covered his curtains. With the support of his followers, he looked at the middle of the river near the ferry for a moment, suppressed his faint loss and called Ah Ting to go home. When he turned around, he saw a high carriage coming from the opposite side.
The high pedestal was equipped with a roof of the tent, carried by eight big men with yellow turbans, and a woman sat on it. The woman was covered with gauze, showing only a pair of gorgeous eyes, and her figure was hidden in the tent, appearing and looking sacred, and she looked inviolable. behind her, dozens of male and female believers followed, calling and surging, surging and walking towards this side.
Locals all know that this woman is a female Tianshi trained by the Tianshi. It is rumored that she looks like a fairy and has a profound Taoist Dharma. When she saw her passing by, believers would worship on the side of the road. Those who do not believe in it also gave way to it.
Gao did not follow the sect of the Tianshi, which is now highly praised, so Luo Shen naturally would not pay special attention to this so-called "female Tianshi". Seeing her grand show, she took a look and then got on the car parked by the roadside and left.
The woman sitting in Gaoyu looked upright from behind the veil and looked at the car that was gradually moving forward. After a moment, she leaned down and whispered to a young man beside her who was following her tightly guarding her: "Fengzhi, she is the daughter of Gao, who made the Shen family shameless, Xiao Yongjia, that day? As expected, she is a shrew like that bitch!"
The man whispered: "Sister, don't be fooled! Don't say that we can't afford to offend Gao now, even Li Mu is not a vegetarian. Although he has left today, there must be arrangements. The leader sent us here, and the most urgent task is to develop believers. Don't offend him, it's a big deal for the leader."
A gloomy flashed through the woman's eyes and stopped talking. Seeing the believers beside the Taoist worshipping her, she continued to raise her head and make her noble appearance that she should have.
Lu is a person who can't rest. If there is nothing to do every day, he will spin the yarn when he has time.
The same is true now.
The daily life of Luo Shen was also doing nothing except reading and painting as a pastime. Because he had often accompanied Lu to watch her spinning, he gradually became interested. Now that he had nothing to do, he learned it.
It was quite difficult at the beginning. She could not spin continuous threads. Even if it was rubbed out, it was different in thickness and broke by pulling it.
When Aju saw that she had learned spinning, she thought she was just greedy for fun. She would be fine if she was excited after spinning for a few days, so she didn't say anything at first.
Later, I found out that Luo Shen seemed to have a strong momentum with the yarn. Not only did he light the lamp during the day, but he even practiced at night. When he lay down, he also complained about his back and back pain, and showed himself the delicate palms that had been stained with red marks by the yarn. He felt distressed and I don’t know how many times he persuaded him.
But Luo Shen was not convinced. If he didn't believe he couldn't spin a thread that could be used, he insisted on gritting his teeth and persevering.
Aju couldn't help but watch her busyness from the side, feeling distressed.
After five or six days, she was really asked to spin a long yarn.
Luo Shen himself was very proud and showed it to Lu. Lu praised her for her good spinning. Luo Shen was happy. He planned to do his best to spin more threads with his own hands, and then slowly learn to weave cloth in the future and make a piece of clothes.
On the tenth day after Li Mu left, when Luo Shen decided to be a woman who could spin and weave cloth, Jiang Tao came to visit Luo Shen and suggested that she move to her own manor.
In addition to the guards that were originally found in the manor, Li Mu also arranged a trustworthy guard before leaving. If she traveled, she would never leave her to ensure her safety.
In addition, people will come to watch at night by shifts.
But Jiang Tao said that because the number of refugees from the north who went south was increasing, for the sake of proper reasons, it would be better for her to live in the manor.
This is also something Li Mu told Jiang Tao to pay attention to before leaving.
Luo Shen knew that his identity was different from ordinary people after all. Li Mu was not at home, and all three of them were women. The manor was of high quality and was indeed more suitable for living than the Li family.
I guess he made such a arrangement out of caution, so he did not object. But he asked Lu and A Ting to live with him.
Asting is happy.
Lu was originally a little worried.
In addition to being more accustomed to living at home, she may also be discussed behind her back about borrowing all her daughter-in-law. But she also knew that Luo Shen spoke out like this out of sincerity. Moreover, she was grateful that she did not go back to Jiankang immediately while her son left home to fight. However, after a little hesitation, she agreed.
The God of Luo was very happy and asked Aju to send someone to send news, clean up the house, and planned to move over in the next two days.
The next day, the God of Luo asked someone to pack some luggage and prepare to move. While busy, an uninvited guest came to Li Mu's house.
In fact, she cannot be called an uninvited guest.
Because when she was wearing gorgeous clothes and leading the servants behind her to appear in front of the Goddess of Luo, after a brief surprise, the rest was joy.
"My mother! Why are you here?"
