After everyone finished eating fried noodles, Wang Xiaobao also came back. came to Zhu Hongsan and said, "Sir, there is a ferry two miles ahead, which is guarded by more than 20 soldiers of Xinyangwei. It seems that they didn't receive Xinyang and had been breached. ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Lao Wang, you took a hundred people to touch it, and they all killed, and it was possible to get more ships." ”

Wang Xiaobao nodded and took people to work.

Seeing that everyone had eaten, it was almost time to rest. Zhu Hongsan ordered Zhao Guodong to gather his team and rush to the ferry.

When the group came to the ferry, they saw that Wang Xiaobao had finished the battle, and the people guarding the ferry were not elites, they were all veterans. Zhu Hongsan ordered the river to be crossed.

There are only three small boats at this ferry, and only 30 people can be carried at a time. Fortunately, the river is not too wide, and it can run several times in an hour. By noon, all the men and horses had crossed the river.

Because half of the horses were exhausted, Zhu Hongsan ordered all the remaining horses to be handed over to the scouts, led by Wang Xiaobao, and spread out for five miles to report the enemy situation at any time.

Because the rogues are all killing people and setting fires in Xinyang, no one will pay attention to this small team every two or three days. Zhu Hongsan is getting farther and farther away from Xinyang without danger.

Spend the night in the wilderness. The next day, we went on our way. At noon, scout Wang Xiaobao came to report the discovery of the situation, and found a dock fort ten miles in front of the left. The dock fort is not big, and it can have two or three hundred people. What should I do if I ask for an order?

Zhu Hongsan saw that he had been running for two days and two nights, and he was really sleepy. You should find a place to take a break. Ordered Zhao Guodong to take 300 people and Wang Xiaobao's 100 men to capture the dock fort, and then repair the place for a day.

The battle ended quickly, and when Zhu Hongsan came to the front of the dock fort with the rear team, Zhao Guodong had already killed all the adult men in the dock fort, leaving more than 20 people old and weak to wait for Zhu Hongsan's order.

Zhu Hongsan ordered all of them to be killed without looking at it. Now that he is behind enemy lines, his own safety has not been guaranteed, so he has air control for the old and weak.

In the evening, the cooks made a hot meal for the first time, and everyone ate very happily. After eating, they fell asleep. These two days are so tiring. First the Xinyang battle, and then began to run, the spirit was in a tense state, this relaxation everyone couldn't hold on, after all, isn't it an iron man.

This is Ma Rufeng, and the old lady also came out to take care of Ma Jiyuan. Ma Jiyuan originally thought that all the female dependents were dead. I didn't expect that there was another one alive, and when I thought about it, I understood that this was Zhu Hongsan's purpose.

Ma Jiyuan came to Zhu Hongsan angrily and said, "Why did you leave Ruyan's mother alone, and why didn't everyone else bring it?" ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "How can you say that Xinyang is five or six hundred miles away from Huguang, and the journey is tiring. I'm afraid that my father-in-law won't be able to stand it, so I will bring my mother-in-law to serve my father-in-law. As for the other people's sons-in-law, they are really not familiar with each other, and it is really unnecessary to bring them. ”

Ma Jiyuan was speechless by Zhu Hongsan's rhetoric, and his sleeves were thrown out.

Zhu Hongsan was so sleepy that Ma Jiyuan fell asleep as soon as he left. I didn't get up until the afternoon of the next day.

Zhu Hongsan saw that everyone was almost rested, and ordered to hurry immediately. It's only a little more than a hundred miles away from the camp of the Liukou, so it's hard to guarantee that you won't run into them. Just in time for the dark to hurry. Several carts were loaded with wounded soldiers in Wubao, and Ma Rufeng's mother and two children were also assigned a cart. After dark, everyone set off.

There was no light pollution in this era, and at night it was basically absolutely dark except for the moonlight and starlight. But fortunately, none of Zhu Hongsan's people have night blindness, and although they are slow to travel at night, it is better to be safe.

On the fourth day, Zhu Hongsan saw that he was already more than 200 miles away from Liukou, and there should be no problem, so he ordered him to rest at night and hurry during the day.

On the fifth day, on the road, I encountered a group of homeless people, numbering about 200 people. Zhu Hongsan ordered Wang Xiaobao to destroy them. After the incident, Wang Xiaobao brought a few live mouths. It turned out that they were all residents of Xinyang City. After Zhu Hongsan ran away, the rogue entered the city and killed him for three days and three nights. Xinyang was basically burned down, and less than 3,000 of the city's more than 50,000 people survived. Luo Rucai has now led the team north to Kaifeng and defected to Li Zicheng.

Hearing this, Zhu Hongsan was relieved, and Luo Ru left. You don't have to be afraid of anything, Henan has been destroyed, and you may not be able to see people within a radius of 100 miles. There should be no problem.

After asking about the enemy's situation, he confessed to Wang Xiaobao to kill him. On the side, Ma Jiyuan said angrily: "The rogues are gone, why do you still want to kill them?" ”

Zhu Hongsan really hated Ma Jiyuan, but for the sake of the Ma family's face, he couldn't make a mistake to him, so he replied patiently: "Who knows if what they said is true or false, what if they are released to attract rogues?" ”

Ma Jiyuan was so angry that he had nothing to say. Zhu Hongsan didn't want to spit on him here, so he rode to the front of the team with his own soldiers, and the back team was handed over to Ma Rufeng to take care of.

Now that they learned that the Liukou had gone north, everyone slowed down. Walk thirty or forty miles a day and rest. In this way, on the fifteenth day, he rushed to Dongjiawu Fort.

After seeing that Dongjiawu Fort was safe and sound, Zhu Hongsan breathed a sigh of relief, if there was anything else in this world that could make Zhu Hongsan worry, it would be Zhu Luo's daughter.

Zhou Yu saw the team from a long distance and greeted him from afar. Seeing that most of the more than 500 people were injured, he hurriedly asked, "Sir, how is it?" There are a lot fewer people. ”

Zhu Hongsan sighed and said, "Don't mention it, it's too dangerous this time." It's good to hang in Xinyang. ”

Zhou Yu said: "It's okay, sir, go in and rest quickly." ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded and asked, "How are you doing these days?" Nothing is wrong, right? ”

Zhou Yu said with a strange face: "It's not a big problem, please ask the chief to take a look at the rest." ”

There is something in the words, Zhu Hongsan was about to ask. Ma Jiyuan on the side shouted: "Isn't this my teacher's dock fort? What did you do to my teacher? ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "It's nothing, just let them go to Lord Yama's for a walk." ”

Ma Jiyuan was completely disappointed in Zhu Hongsan. Originally, after escaping, he also knew that it was a critical moment at that time, and it was really difficult to escape with his female dependents. Although he hates Zhu Hongsan, he is still a little grateful to Zhu Hongsan in his heart, after all, he saved himself, his three sons and two grandsons (Ma Jiyuan didn't know that Liukou was put in by Zhu Hongsan, so he knew that he could hang himself). But now seeing that his teacher and Zhu Hongsan were killed without hatred or grudge, he was really completely disappointed in Zhu Hongsan.

Ma Jiyuan trembled angrily, pointed at Zhu Hongsan and said, "You... You... You are deliberately vicious, and my teacher and you have no grudges and you will kill him all over the house. ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Didn't kill them all, am I such a ruthless person?" I left his daughter-in-law, Mr. Tong also accepted his wife as a house-filler, and the fat man also accepted his daughter-in-law and granddaughter to play a double fly? ”

Tong Yangjia couldn't help but blush when he heard about it on the side. But the shameless fat man didn't blush, and said: "I'm finally back, I'm going to kill two birds with one stone tonight, haha... ”

When Ma Jiyuan heard this group of shameless people say this, his angry eyes rolled and he fainted. Frightened, Ma Rufeng on the side hurriedly beat his back and pinched people.

Zhu Hongsan saw that Ma Jiyuan woke up and said, "As far as you stinky old nine are more exquisite, is your third lady younger than your girl?" Are you too embarrassed to marry into the family? At least I'm a real villain, and you readers are hypocrites. ”

When Zhu Hongsan said this, Ma Jiyuan fainted again, but he didn't have the strength to scold Zhu Hongsan. Let Ma Rufeng help himself back to the back car to rest.

Zhu Hongsan saw Ma Jiyuan leaving, and scolded: "This old thing, not to mention that he is merry and happy, we will jump out and point fingers if we have a little problem." Reading people is really not a good thing. After speaking, he may feel that the blow is too big, and said to Tong Yangjia: "Mr. Tong didn't mean you, you are our own people." ”

Tong Yangjia smiled bitterly and didn't say anything, thinking: "Why does this lord hate readers, it's not okay to fight for the world and leave readers." ”

Thinking of this, Tong Yangjia felt that he should persuade Zhu Hongsan, and stepped forward and said: "Lord, although there are all kinds of scholars, but the great cause of the lord is inseparable from them, and I will ask the lord to treat the scholars well in the future." ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded, arched his hand and said, "Thank you Mr. Tong for teaching, Xiao San will not make this kind of mistake again in the future." ”

Seeing that his lord could listen to his persuasion, Tong Yangjia's pride as a scholar came up again, and he felt that Zhu Hongsan was still good.

Zhu Hongsan said happily in his heart: "I don't know the temper of your readers? It's just that you don't go backwards, you belong to the donkey, give you a few good words, and you think you've met the master. But this is also very good, at least if you fail, you can have a few people martyred," looked at the few people on the side, and thought: "Qian Fat Man definitely can't, Tong Yangjia is not easy to say, Ma Mingyuan can do it, Feng Ziyong is about the same, Ma Jiyuan don't hate himself, he will definitely be martyred at a critical time." ”

I have to say that Zhu Hongsan's eyes are very poisonous, but it's a pity that Feng Ziyong is not around. If he heard Zhu Hongsan's heartfelt words, he would definitely admire the five-body throw. Later, when they went to Guangdong, what these three people did also verified what Zhu Hongsan said.
