Dispersed the idle people, Qi County Ling and Wu Shigong, the little official who delivered the letter, welcomed them into the inner hall of the county government alone. After the little official eased up, Qi County Ling and Wu Shigong asked the little official to explain the situation of Guide Mansion City to the two of them in detail.

Under the constant questioning of Qi County Ling and Wu Shigong, the little official finally gave a general overview of the situation. He also told Wu Shigong that he had taken advantage of the fact that the chaotic people had not completely blocked the road, and passed through the cracks of the chaotic people to the county seat of Qi County. However, it is estimated that at this time, the road should be completely blocked by the rioters.

While speaking, the little official took out a chicken feather letter with three chicken feathers glued to it from his side and handed it to Qi County Order. Qi County ordered to open the envelope, and there were three small envelopes inside.

Qi Xian Ling took a rough look at the handwriting on the small envelope, and handed the chicken feather letter to Wu Shigong. said: "This is all written to Wu Qianhu." It should be right, it is the handwriting of Lord Fuzun. ”

It should be said that the anger of the quarrel between Qi County Ling and Wu Shigong just now has not completely disappeared, so Qi County Ling does not read these letters, intending to see Wu Shigong's illiterate ugly appearance. It is best to let Wu Shigong come and beg him to read the letter.

Unexpectedly, Wu Shigong opened the small envelope and looked at it one by one. This surprised Qi County, because in the Ming Dynasty, the number of literate military attaches was simply too small. Qi County Ling couldn't help but mock on the side: "I didn't see it, Wu Qianhu is both civil and military!" ”

Wu Shigong replied proudly: "This official is still a talent." ”

When Qi Xianling heard Wu Shigong's words, he immediately laughed and even laughed with tears. It's like hearing the funniest joke on shijie.

Looking at the appearance of Qi County's order, Wu Shigong couldn't help but think in his heart: "This person can't have the seal of Xiucai engraved on his face." I'm really a showman, why hasn't anyone believed in me until now? ”

Wu Shigong didn't care about the Qi County Order, and he began to look at the contents of the letter carefully. Fortunately, these letters are written relatively straightforwardly, and Wu Shigong understands the content of the letters.

These three letters were written by Wu Shigong's three superiors. They are: Lord Fuzun of Guide Mansion, Lord Zhao Ming, the commander of Guide Guard, Old Man Zhao Ming, and Lord of Henan Prison Army, Gonggong Xiao.

In the letter, the Fuzun of Guide Mansion said a great truth. What is for the country and the people, the elimination of violence and peace, the duties of military attachés, these contents.

In the letter of the old man Zhao Ming, he was completely in friendship with Wu Shigongpan. In the letter, he even mentioned that Wu Shigong's apprentice, Tao Xin, and the old man Zhao Ming were still somewhat related. The old man Zhao Ming almost didn't shout: "Come and pull my brother!" ”。 Don't say that in China's humane society, many people will use it, and they will eat this set.

And in Father-in-law Xiao's letter, he completely tore his face in a hurry. He clearly said to Wu Shigong: As long as Wu Shigong takes the men and horses to the rescue of Guide Mansion City, even if there is only one person, he can't even rush into the city and show up under the city wall of Guide Mansion, then Xiao Gonggong will accept his fate. Otherwise, Father-in-law Xiao would not let Wu Shigong go if he was a ghost.

Wu Shigong looked at these letters and frowned tightly. He didn't know that Guide City was now sending rescue letters in all directions. In the city of Guide, all the hairs on the buttocks of all the roosters are about to be plucked clean.

If Wu Shigong really doesn't go to the rescue, as long as Wu Shigong can find a reason to get by afterwards, these bosses can't do anything to Wu Shigong under the principle of not ruling the people.

Wu Shigong thought so in his heart at this time: This was the normal military transfer of his superiors according to normal procedures, and the soldiers of the Thousand Households.

Wu Shigong must understand the truth that military orders are like mountains. If Wu Shigong didn't go to the rescue, Wu Shigong was afraid that his bosses would settle accounts after the fall. At that time, even if he didn't get his head cut off, Wu Shigong, the acting official position of a thousand households, would definitely not be able to keep it. We all know that for the current Wu Shigong, this official position of acting for thousands of households is simply too important.

It should be said that Wu Shigong's current situation is very delicate. He can't make military merits and present his identity to Emperor Chongzhen; And you can't make mistakes in your own errands and let your boss remove you from your official position. It's like walking a tightrope.

However, after considering and understanding these truths, Wu Shigong found that he would have to go to the rescue of Guidefu City. But who do you want to take with you? And how to rescue the city of Defu?

With these recruits, it will definitely not work. These recruits were infantry. Besides, Wu Shigong already knew from the mouth of the little official who sent the letter that the reinforcements led by Gonggong Xiao were all soldiers, and there were more than 3,500 people. In this way, they were still defeated. The four hundred recruits brought over by themselves were simply a dish.

Wu Shigong didn't know at all that although his recruits had only received four or five months of military training, their combat effectiveness was no worse than that of those soldiers led by Gonggong Xiao. It's even a little bit stronger. This can also be seen how inferior the training level of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty was at that time.

Then only the horse team will be used. Then do what Grandpa Xiao said. At that time, Wu Shigong led his horse team, rushed away from the Holy Spirit Society's chaotic people's brigade, and showed his face under the walls of Guide Mansion. As for what to do next? Then we'll talk about it then.

After the decision was made, Wu Shigong immediately said goodbye to Qi County, and he was now going to take his horseback guards and rush back to the fortress of Qianhusuo, to gather all the horse teams that he could use, and to rescue the city of Defu.

Before leaving the county seat, Wu Shigong called Zhou Xun over alone and asked him to lead the 150 soldiers to assume the command of the county town.

Wu Shigong was afraid, in case he left, if Qi Xianling and Li Lu were blindly commanding, Zhou Xun's identity would not be able to suppress the two of them. Don't talk about the Qi County Order, Li Lu is still the old commander of Zhou Xun's Soldiers and Horses Division in Nancheng.

Wu Shigong Zuihou instructed Zhou Xun: In case of the worst situation, Zhou Xun should also gather these soldiers and bring them back to the fortress of Qianhusu as much as possible. For Wu Shigong now, every soldier under his command is his heart.

When leaving the county seat, Wu Shigong unceremoniously "borrowed" the dozen or so horses of Li Lu's own soldiers. When he set off, he also brought one more person, that is, Chang Meng, who was sent by Wu Shigong to buy fetal supplements for his pregnant wives, and was later trapped in the county town with Wu Shigong.

That Chang Meng wanted to go back with Wu Shigong. Since Shumo returned to Wu Shigong's side, Chang Meng felt that his status in the dog-legged world had been greatly threatened, so he was at odds with Shumo everywhere.

Of course, Wu Shigong didn't know Chang Meng's careful thoughts, but since Chang Meng was kind enough to accompany him, there was no need for him to hurt his dog's heart.

When they returned to the fortress of Qianhusuo, although Wu Shigong and the others were cautious, they didn't even see the shadow of a single rebel. It was when I passed by the town under the fortress of Senhesuo that I saw that the town was destroyed by those chaotic people. What's more, most of the green seedlings in the fields that Wu Shigong and Yao Yuanwai worked so hard to save were also destroyed by those rioters. This made Wu Shigong feel distressed.

After seeing Wu Shigong and them come back, there was a sound of jubilation in the fortress of Qianhusuo. When the Holy Spirit Society rebelled, the military households of Senhesu, the town and the nearby residents all hid in the fortress of Senhesu.

But these Holy Spirit Society rebels saw the appearance of the fortress of Qianhusuo, and they only burned and looted it in the town, and they did not get close to the fortress of Qianhusuo, so that Xue Yongli did not fire a single shot.

However, the people hiding in the fortress of Senhesho are still a little worried after all. Now that Wu Shigong, the backbone, is back, they are basically relieved.

Avoiding those cheering people, Wu Shigong called Xue Yongli and several leaders of the horse team aside, and explained to them the situation in Guide Mansion City and his own plans.

Seeing that Wu Shigong had already made up his mind, Xue Yongli didn't say anything more. He just discussed with Wu Shigong: get the horse team ready and set off in the middle of the night today. In the early hours of the morning, you can rush to the city of Guide, and rush to the city of Guide while the Holy Spirit will have breakfast and the defense is the emptiest.

Xue Yongli and several leaders of the horse team went down to make arrangements, and Wu Shigong also returned to his inner house.

As soon as they saw Wu Shigong, Wu Shigong's four wives were so happy that tears came down. Wu Shigong comforted them again and again, and hugged them with both hands, but he couldn't hold them.

It was kept warm until it was time for dinner, and these ladies thought that Wu Shigong would not leave again after he returned. The family just talked and laughed sweetly.

But when dinner was over, Wu Shigong said that after midnight, when he had to lead the horse team to rescue the city of Guide, the faces of these ladies changed.

After being alone in the bedroom for a little midnight, Wu Shigong left the inner house lightly. He heard the sound of a window opening behind him. Wu Shigong didn't look back, gritted his teeth and walked forward. I thought to myself, "This is my home, and I'm going to defend it." ”

On the school field of the fortress of the Thousand Households, all the members of the horse team have been assembled. However, Yang Rusong, who was on the side, was arguing about something relentlessly.

Because the number of saddles on the horses was not enough, there were still more than a dozen people in the horse team who could not set off together this time, and Yang Rusong was one of the members of the horse team who stayed behind. But he was very unconvinced, and clamored to set off together.

Wu Shigong walked up to Yang Rusong, patted his head with a smile, and said, "You are the future of the horse team, and I will definitely take you to fight next time." ”

Shumo on the side, because he had also been trained by the horse team after he came back, so he also set off together this time. Shumo thought in his heart: "Since Yang Rusong wants to fight, then replace me." I'm still going to have to fight. ”

It can be seen here that the location of the fortress was quite elaborate at that time. If the enemy does not conquer the fortress of Qianhusuo, whether they attack the county seat of Qixian Ling, or attack the city of Guide, they must send a large force to guard this fortress of Qianhusuo.

Otherwise, the reinforcements in the fortress of Sennoso can stab these enemies in the back at any time. And those chaotic people of the Holy Spirit Society led by Master Mu didn't have this military common sense at all. Therefore, they did not even place spies here in the fortress of Qianhusuo, so they attacked the city of Defu in such a big way.

Wu Shigong led the horse team, basically leading the horses, and walked for most of the night. Because, they all have to save horsepower and prepare for the battle in the early morning.

When they came to the back of a small hill closest to the camp of the Holy Spirit Society, the dawn of the morning shone through. There was silence all around, except for a few birds singing.

The dawn is quiet here!
