Ma Zheng lowered his head and looked at Lu Jubei's head, which fell to the ground and faced the sky. After feeling Wu Nian's eyes, his body trembled slightly.
He knew what he should do at this time, such as begging for mercy or something. But his lips moved for a long time, but in the end he didn't say a word.
Is it too ugly to kneel down and beg for mercy at this time? and. Even if he begs for mercy, Wu Nian may not let him go.
"You're quite brave." Wu Nian smiled, the coldness on his face disappeared, replaced by a little warmth.
"Do you want to die here or fight with the Mengyuan people?" Wu Nian asked.
The pressure that was almost crushing him suddenly dissipated. Ma Zheng felt relaxed, raised his head, and said quickly: "I want to fight the Meng Yuan people."
"You can follow Long Qie from now on." Wu Nian nodded, pointed at Long Qie and said.
"I am the captain. From now on, you and I are both superior and inferior, and we are also brothers." Long Qie also laughed and showed kindness to Ma Zheng.
"Sir Captain." Ma Zheng did not dare to neglect, he clasped his fists and bent down.
"You go back to the barracks and control your soldiers. Long Qie and I will go to the city gate tower to deal with it all night. If there is anything else, we will talk about it tomorrow."
After Wu Nian said something to Ma Zheng, he said: "Retract the troops."
The armored soldiers who surrounded the military camp gathered together after receiving the order and followed Wu Nian to the North City Gate.
"Mr. Lu, you almost led me into the gutter." Ma Zheng looked at Wu Nian who was leaving calmly. The cold sweat he was holding finally shed. He looked down at Lu Jubei's head on the ground and shook his head with a wry smile.
Separatist power?
fart!
How could a person like Wu Nian be able to tolerate sand in his eyes? We don't have any chance at all.
Ma Zheng now no longer has any doubts about Wu Nian's formation killing Captain Meng Yuan and drawing with Wanyan Xian Dou.
He had just faced Wu Nian and felt the pressure.
What kind of person, what kind of momentum he has. Wu Nian is by no means an idle person.
After smiling bitterly, Ma Zheng bent down and collected Lu Jubei's body himself. After all, they were working together, and he would bury Lu Jubei properly.
There was no more trouble after that, and the night passed quickly.
Early the next morning.
The military households in Chengshan Fort got up silently, cooked food silently, and then stayed in their own rooms. No one dared to go out.
Beishan Fort is not far from Chengshan Fort, and military households have all heard of Wu Nian's reputation.
They all had a favorable impression of Wu Nian, who also came from a military household. But after all these days, Chengshanbao and Wu Nian were enemies.
Now that Wu Nian has occupied Chengshan Fort, the military households are a little afraid.
A medium-level house located in Chengshan Fort.
Yan Shan was playing with a machete in the yard. He is fifty-six years old this year, has silver hair, and his body is not as good as before, but his sword skills are becoming more and more powerful.
It’s just that the older you get, the better you become.
He is a retired veteran and has great prestige in Chengshan Fort. Especially now that the officials in Chengshan Fort have escaped.
During the years when Lu Jubei and Ma Zheng occupied Chengshan Fort, they would ask Yan Shan for his opinion if they had anything to do.
Yan Shan felt that Wu Nian might send someone to find him.
He had some expectations for this. He had been a soldier all his life, and when he was getting old, he watched helplessly as the Meng Yuan people went south and occupied Liaodong.
All the generals in Liaodong surrendered, except Wu Nian.
If nothing else, just focus on this. This kid is a hero. It would definitely feel good if I could help this kid.
"Dong dong dong." Yan Shan had just finished a set of sword skills and hadn't had time to rest. There was a rapid knock on the door.
Yan Shan waved his hand and motioned for the family members to go back to the house. He turned around, opened the door, and saw a soldier.
A good soldier wearing iron armor.
"But Yan Shan, Mr. Yan?" the armored soldier asked politely, clasping his fists.
"It's me." Yan Shan nodded.
"I am a soldier of General Wu. He sent me to ask you to go to Baihu Yamen." The armored soldier simply explained his purpose.
"Okay. Wait for me to clean up." Yan Shan smiled on his old face, nodded to the armored soldier, and returned to the house. When he came out, he was wearing a worn-out war jacket, with a steel knife hanging on his waist, and he was full of energy.
Soon after, Yan Shan and the armored soldiers entered the hall of Baihu Yamen. The armored soldiers did not go in, but Yan Shan walked in with his head held high.
Yan Shan glanced around and saw more than a dozen people sitting in the hall. He didn't know three of them, one was Ma Zheng, and the rest were his old brothers.
A prestigious old military household in Chengshan Fort.
"Meet General Wu." Yan Shan raised his head and looked at Wu Nian who was sitting on the main seat, his eyes were a little surprised. Although he knew that Wu Nian was very young, he did not expect to be so young, only in his early twenties.
It’s true that a hero comes from a boy.
"Mr. Yan." Wu Nian was quite polite when facing the old soldier. He stood up, clasped his fists, and then asked him to sit down.
"Everyone is here. Let me tell you the truth." Wu Nian raised his head and looked at everyone, and then introduced: "Ma Zheng won't say more. This is Long Qie, my captain, with a thousand Hu's soldiers. He will be responsible for the defense of Chengshan Fort from now on."
"This is Cao Ding, Mr. Cao. He is in charge of civil affairs."
"Beishan Fort, Chengshan Fort, and Tiancheng Fort. I will use these three hundred-households as my foundation to fight against the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. The ultimate goal is to expel the Tartars and regain Liaodong."
"From now on, there will be no distinction between military households and civilian households in my place. There are only civilian households. As for the fertile farmland outside Chengshan Fort. Since those officials have fled, their fields cannot be left abandoned. I make the decision. Distribute them to you. The original military households of Chengshan Fort. After spring, you can reclaim the land and start farming."
"In addition. There will be certain renovations in the castle, and fifteen thousand people from outside the city will move in. There will be some chaos at the beginning, but I promise that it will settle down soon."
"All of you old gentlemen are old military households and are prestigious people in the fort. I hope you can help me stabilize the people's hearts."
Wu Nian didn't offer any inducements, he just stood up and saluted with fists in his hands. He didn't bring anything else with him except his heart and his sincerity.
The veteran military households were all mature with age, and they all guessed why Wu Nian was looking for them, and they had already been mentally prepared.
Moreover.
Wu Nian was very sincere and distributed fertile land, which was beneficial to military households like them.
All the officials have left, so the fields cannot be left unused.
Isn't it?
Finally, there are also some veteran military households who are very hostile to the Mongolian people. For example, Yanshan.
Yan Shan took a deep breath, stood up, hugged Wu Nian's fists, and said loudly: "It is my duty to do so."
"It is our duty." Seeing this, the other veteran military households also stood up and said seriously.
"Thank you all." Wu Nian was still very sincere and thanked him with clasped fists.
Ma Zheng watched from the sidelines, feeling very emotional. Lu Jubei spent a lot of energy to win over these old military households.
But Wu Nian only used a few sentences.
This person is indeed different.
Lu Jubei was just a civil servant, while Wu Nian was a real general with great prestige.
It would be easy for him to rule Chengshan Fort.
The military households naturally supported him.
