In the mountains southwest of Ruzhou, a cavalry team of nearly seventy people walked slowly in the mountains.
After everyone reached a relatively flat place halfway up the mountain, because it was getting late, they stopped and started to set up camp.
At this time, Luo Zhixue was busy urging various ministries to set up tents and send out sentries.
After finishing all this, Luo Zhixue walked exhaustedly to a huge rock, where Sun Chengcheng's Chinese army camp was temporarily placed.
After seeing Luo Zhixue come in, Sun Chengli was the first to speak: "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Luo, along the way."
Along the way, Luo Zhixue ran before and after arranging marches and camps. Although these things seemed not important and were just trivial things, Sun Chengli knew that these trivial things were equally important.
At least it can make the troops march in an orderly manner and not cause chaos.
In the past, Sun Chengli was actually the one who did these things. Now that Luo Zhixue is doing it for him, Sun Chengli is relieved a lot.
Luo Zhixue said at this time: "How dare you talk about the hardships of serving the general."
Sun Lili said: "With Brother Luo's help, I can worry a lot less. However, Brother Luo, you can't ignore the military strategy just because you are worried about camp affairs. Now we are initially safe. What's the next step?" What to do? Should we continue walking south to the boundary of Nanyang Prefecture, or go to Luanchuan and Lu's in the west? Or should we simply go east to the flat Lushan Mountain? We need to get rid of Brother Luo to make suggestions for these!"
Luo Zhixue said: "General, don't worry, Zhixue has been thinking about this matter for the past two days."
With that said, Luo Zhixue once again took out his hand-drawn map and said: "The location we are in is still quite dangerous now!"
"To the east, there is Ruzhou garrison Chen Zhibang, who is eyeing him. According to the information we got from passing business travelers yesterday, Chen Zhibang in the east not only has troops stationed in Ruzhou and Yiyang, but also has heavy troops stationed in Lushan!"
"He Chen Zhibang wants to guard Ruzhou. Ruzhou is the capital of the state and he must guard it. Yiyang is a city close to the mountains to the west of Ruzhou and he also attaches great importance to it. To the south is the crucial Luyang Pass on the edge of Lushan Mountain. "
"This Luyang Pass must be controlled by the government and army. Otherwise, a large number of rebels from Henan and Nanyang can pass through this pass and wreak havoc in the two places. Instead of being like now, they can only rely on crossing mountains and ridges." You have to climb a mountain to travel between the two places.”
"Looking at Chen Zhibang's posture, he is determined to defend Ruzhou. If we head eastward rashly, it will be easy to get there but not easy to leave. After all, the terrain to the east is flat, and Chen Zhibang has many men under his command. Jingqi, once you are entangled by his cavalry, it will not be easy to escape."
At this time, Sun Chengcheng also said: "It seems that it is impossible to go eastward, and there is Zuo Liangyu in the north, so naturally he cannot go."
In the Henan Prefecture area in the north, Zuo Liangyu's main force is there. The reason why Luo Zhixue and the others appeared in this mountain is because they were driven south by Zuo Liangyu. In the past, when they saw Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and horses, they had to They were running for their lives all the way, not to mention that there were only a few dozen of them now.
For the sake of their own lives, it was naturally impossible for them to walk north back to Henan Prefecture.
At this time, Sun Lili said: "We can't go to the north or east. Should we go to the south or the west?"
Luo Zhixue, however, still shook his head gently: "General, the Lu family in the west is the governor of Henan Province, Xuan Mo, who personally leads the army and is in charge. You can't go there!"
"To the south is Nanyang Prefecture. That place is also a dangerous place with Chen Yongfu in charge. Just like the plains east of Ruzhou, that place has an unobstructed view and is convenient for us to move. But it is also more convenient for the officers and soldiers to move. If we go there, we will easily be attacked by the officers and soldiers. The cavalry bit.”
"And the reason why there are so many Ming troops stationed in the above-mentioned places is because there are many rebels in these places, and the government troops are mobilizing large armies to besiege them step by step. Although we can fish in troubled waters, we will also be affected by the same disaster."
"When the army is encircling and suppressing the rebels, they don't care who you are and what kind of traitor you are. We will fight together when we encounter them!"
Hearing this, Sun Chengcheng's eyebrows were already furrowed: "You can't go to the southeast, southeast, northwest, so what should we do?"
Luo Zhixue raised his head at this time and said: "From the perspective of my subordinates, we are not going anywhere, we will stay in this mountain!"
"General, look, there are huge mountains to the south of Song County and to the west of Ruzhou. This place is not small, and it is big enough for us to hide in it."
"And these places are not deserted places. Although there are fewer people, we can still find some villages. Then, as I told the general before, find a place to rest and take a breath first."
Listening to what Luo Zhixue said, Sun Chengli stared at the map drawn by Luo Zhixue for a long time, and finally said: "This is the only way now!"
After the two discussed it carefully, Lin Dongsheng, Wang Dazhuang, and Xu He also came over one after another to participate. Finally, everyone made a preliminary decision to go to Funiu Mountain to the west of Luyang Pass.
Finally, Luo Zhixue said: "Funiu Mountain is close to Lushan County and Nanzhao County. There are many people nearby, which is enough for us to replenish people and materials to cultivate your health and accumulate strength. If necessary, we can directly transfer from these two places Fight out and conquer Ruzhou and Nanyang."
"Even if we are intercepted by officers and soldiers, we can calmly retreat to Funiu Mountain. The terrain in the mountain is complicated, and officers and soldiers dare not enter the mountain rashly. Even if they come in, we can set up an ambush to counterattack."
"If we take a step back, even if the officers and soldiers are coming fiercely and we can't stay in Funiu Mountain any longer, we can continue walking to the mountains to the west and hide in the large group in the Lu family area of Song County."
"Standing troops in Funiu Mountain, we can advance and retreat freely."
When everyone discussed before, they felt that Funiu Mountain was good and decided to go to Funiu Mountain. But now after hearing Luo Zhixue's summary, everyone has become more determined to go to Funiu Mountain.
Sun Chengcheng said: "Okay, this matter is settled, we will go to Funiu Mountain to stay for a while."
After Sun Chengli made the final decision, he planned the marching route for tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to reach the Funiu Mountain area by the day after tomorrow after walking for two more days.
After everything was discussed, everyone dispersed one after another, and Luo Zhixue also dragged his tired body out of the Chinese army camp.
As soon as he left the Chinese military camp, An Yongduo, who was waiting outside, came up to him: "Sir!"
Luo Zhixue nodded slightly: "Well, are everything settled?"
Anyong said: "Sir, Brother Ding and the others have already arranged the tents."
Luo Zhixue nodded slightly: "Where is that girl Yu'er?"
An Yongduo said: "Maybe I have been traveling a lot these past two days. Miss, she has already eaten and gone to bed!"
After Luo Zhixue listened, he realized that it was getting late now, the sun had already set, and the sky became gray and dim.
He estimated that it should be around seven o'clock in the evening.
Although the days are long in summer, it is getting dark at this time.
Luo Zhixue said: "Thank you for your hard work. That little girl must have caused you a lot of trouble."
Anyong said: "It's not troublesome. Miss, she is sensible. No matter whether she is riding a horse or walking along the way, she will not cry or make trouble."
Luo Zhixue didn't find it strange that Lin Yu'er had suffered all the sufferings in the world in her only seven years of life from birth to now. How could she be ignorant!
Before it was completely dark, Luo Zhixue and Anyongduo inspected the military camp again, and at the same time inspected the sentries on one side. After confirming that everything was correct, they returned to the tent that Anyongduo and the others had set up before.
After a simple meal, Luo Zhixue briefly freshened up before lying down.
That night, Luo Zhixue didn't sleep well, and had several dreams in a row.
There was a dream that woke him up immediately!
In his dream, he dreamed that he had become a big rebel, leading an army of refugees to attack cities and territories, and finally fought all the way to the capital. Those officers and soldiers could not stop the offensive of hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, and they soon abandoned their armor. Defeated, his army entered the capital and entered the palace.
However, in the blink of an eye, they discovered that Wu Sangui and the Manchu army had already reached the capital city, and finally broke through the city and came to him. The defeated Luo Zhixue finally watched Wu Sangui come to him and shouted, "How dare you" After snatching my woman, he came over and killed her.
The next moment, Luo Zhixue woke up from his dream!
And my back was already covered in cold sweat!
In this dream, I obviously became Li Zicheng's second. After entering the capital, I was attacked by the coalition forces of Wu Sangui and the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In the end, I was defeated and died.
But so be it.
Why did Wu Sangui say that he robbed his woman?
I look like a centaur who likes broken shoes?
Well, according to later generations' rumors, Chen Yuanyuan, one of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai in the late Ming Dynasty, was very beautiful. Looking back...
Alas, the point is not here. The point is that in my dream, why was I so stupid to lead a group of refugees to attack the capital, and then be killed by Wu Sangui and the Manchu coalition forces?
These are all things that have happened in history, why should I follow in their footsteps?
This shouldn't be the case!
After having a dream, Luo Zhixue thought about it for a long time and finally fell asleep.
After falling asleep, he seemed to be dreaming again. From time to time, incomprehensible words like Qinhuai Bayan, Liu Rushi, Dong Xiaowan, and line up came out of his mouth.
Early the next morning, when Luo Zhixue woke up from his sleep, nothing happened at first, but he soon noticed something was wrong. After looking down and taking a closer look, Luo Zhixue sighed: "You're still too young!"
He still overestimated this body's resistance to the pink skull, and it was just a dream. As for...
After cleaning up, Luo Zhixue walked out of the camp staring at the dark circles. After a simple meal, he started a new day's work and continued to manage the camp affairs.
After walking like this for two more days, Luo Zhixue and the others finally arrived in the Funiu Mountain area.
But after arriving at Funiu Mountain, the sentinel sent back bad news to Sun Chengli and Luo Zhixue.
The Funiu Mountain they were interested in was not a land without an owner, but one with an owner.
And like them, that group was also a gang of thieves. I heard that they went to Funiu Mountain to settle down a few months ago.
After Sun Chengli heard the news from the sentry detective, he could hardly hold back a literate sentence: Could this be the case that heroes think alike?
