Boss Chen is indeed on fire, because he is a thousand commanders of Jinyiwei in Taiyuan, and together with another Zhao commander, he is in charge of more than 2,000 Jinyiwei secret agents in Bingzhou.
The eldest of the family came with an urgent order, which was concise and to the point, that is, to mobilize the Jinyi Guard in Bingzhou, urgently assemble and rush to the Jingcheng Pass, occupy it, and block the passage that the Niangzi Pass guards will send troops to block and ambush Gao Rou who is about to enter the Jingzhou through the well path.
It's going to be a tough battle.
But in the blink of an eye, the small courtyard behind this restaurant was crowded with dozens of people, looking at the clothes, some were market merchants, some were peddlers and pawns, some were family slaves, and there were even beggars on the side of the street.
But at this time, they didn't have the professional expressions they had before, they all had a resolute face.
Shopkeeper Chen glanced at these subordinates majestically, and said to them: "The commander sent an urgent order from Lord Xu Jie, ordering those of us who have not used swords and guns for many years to pick up swords and guns again, and within two days, we must rush to Jingcheng Pass, hold the cliff pass, and receive the arrival of our army." β
At this time, the wife had already released the carrier pigeons hidden in those meat pigeons one by one, and conveyed such military orders to all parts of the state.
Looking at the carrier pigeon flying into the blue sky, the shopkeeper Chen said with a resolute face: "This time, it will be a very tragic life-and-death war, we will face the attack of Gao Rou's bastard tens of thousands of troops, we are in the hinterland of the enemy, there is no baggage supplies, no reinforcements, no reinforcements from the people, we have nothing." β
At this time, a fat businessman stepped forward: "But we have a loyal heart and a hard life, a thousand masters, let's set off now." β
Shopkeeper Chen's eyes were hot, and he grabbed the businessman's hand: "Lao Liu, you can not go this time." β
Lao Liu stiffened his neck and asked, "Why?" β
Shopkeeper Chen said: "I know that your wife has just passed away, leaving you a son who is less than a full moon, and he is our hope, so you can not go." β
When he mentioned his wife who had just passed, this old Liu's eyes turned red, and when he mentioned that he also had a full moon son, a kind of concern and warmth permeated the whole body and mind. But he took a deep breath and straightened his chest: "I can have today, from a homeless person who is about to starve to death, I can have a son, inherit my surname, I can return to my hometown in the future, and go to worship the tombs of my ancestors for me, this is the kindness of the lord, I firmly believe that the world that the lord said at the beginning, although I may not see the situation of that world, but I firmly believe that my son will see, the lord said, in that world, the peasants no longer pay taxes and get subsidies, and the dukes will get the corresponding remuneration for participating in the work, Education is no longer the patent of the clan's power, the people can also get free education and get happy and wise, officials are called public servants, not high up to the top to do power, but trembling to serve the people, the people are wronged by the law, not by virtue of the preferences of the superiors, merchants gather wealth for the circulation of things, farmers and craftsmen produce for the purpose of increasing social wealth. The government levies reasonable taxes, not to fatten the officials and emperors, but to build schools, so that children like you in the world can have a school, to repair the roads of the whole world so that people can travel conveniently, in order to build water conservancy, so that people can have land to plant, work, new clothes to wear, and enough to eat. β
As he spoke, this Boss Liu was already in tears: "Originally, I thought that this was just a dream that could be given to us, but after our efforts for so long, I saw that this dream was being realized step by step, of course, although this dream is constantly approaching, but it has not really been realized, although I will die, but I still firmly believe that this dream will eventually come true." Then he turned around and faced all kinds of brothers, and said with a resolute face: "I firmly believe in realizing our dreams." β
All the brothers burst into tears together, and all the brothers said in a low voice: "I firmly believe in realizing our dreams." β
Boss Chen turned around and grabbed his wife: "Let's go, we will definitely die there, I will entrust Lao Liu's children to you, and I will entrust the parents, wives and children of all our brothers to you, please." Boss Chen actually made his wife fall to his knees.
The wife, who was already in tears, knelt down for her husband: "You can go with confidence, I firmly believe that as long as I have a breath of air, as long as the lord is still there, our days will be fine." β
Boss Chen stood up, threw off the apron on his body, picked up the war knife that had been hidden for a long time, and said to the brothers who were all over the yard: "Within two days, we must rush to the mouth of the Jingcheng Cliff, we must block Gao Rou's impact at all costs, brothers, follow me." Then without glancing at the smiling and rainy wife, several people strode out of their courtyard and walked towards the bloody battlefield.
The feast of a wealthy family was being held happily, but the sumptuous feast stopped in the middle of the feast, which made the master furious, and sent a few house slaves to catch the cook who had been invited with a lot of money, but a few house slaves turned around after a while, and reported to their master, the cook who was hired with a lot of money, left his rich remuneration, and just said goodbye with a kitchen knife.
Taishou of Xihe County, Bingzhou, was reading the sage scriptures in the study, and when he reached out to touch the teacup, he found that the tea was already cold, so he frowned and whispered to his most obedient servant outside: "Serve tea." β
But there was no response.
This servant is well-behaved and smart, even in the middle of the night, when he needs it, as long as he coughs, he will immediately appear in front of him, why is there no news at this time?
A merchant was handing over money to a merchant in the state, and when the two sides were counting the money, the merchant's servant suddenly lay in his ear and whispered, and the merchant who was collecting money suddenly dropped a pile of steel coins, turned around and ran out of the house, jumped directly on a war horse without a saddle, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
A thriving restaurant, the cool hall is full of diners, but when a diner needs to settle the bill, he finds that no one answers, according to the simple meaning, he goes to the back to find the host to settle, only to find that the building is already empty.
Such strange things are constantly being staged in various parts of the state. But on the thoroughfare of Bingzhou, people on war horses, donkeys, or simply galloping on foot, all galloped eastward desperately, and these people had only one goal - the Jingcheng Pass.
