The Fuso are a strange people, for they are probably the most contradictory people in the world—they are extremely aggressive by nature, but they are also very mild; arrogant and self-respecting but polite; Stubbornness and weakness can exist in the same Fuso at the same time; Moreover, the Fuso people, who seem to have a sense of taming in their bones, are not willing to be manipulated at all; They are loyal, but prone to rebellion; They are brave, but they are also very cowardly.

Just like what Hao Mu sees now, to be honest, he can't understand this.

When you take the initiative and launch an attack on a city that you know is full of old and weak women and children, even if it is war, you no longer deserve to be called a glorious warrior. But the leader of the Fuso team still holds this honor. Obviously, the Fusang people attach the most importance to this kind of thing and are the most strict, but in the eyes of the Fusang leader, it seems that attacking the old and weak women and children in the Central Plains does not hinder his glory at all.

That's weird.

Fortunately, Hao Mu has always had a good habit, although this good habit evolved from a bad habit - because he is lazy, so if he can't figure out something, then he simply doesn't think about it. Anyway, I can't figure it out, he's not like he's so smart.

"Haomu, this time, thank you very much."

When Haomu walked to the gate of the city, Zhang Wei, the county commander of Qidong County, and those old men also walked down from the city wall, and as soon as the two sides arrived at one place, Zhang Wei, the county commander, bowed deeply to Haomu, "Thank you for saving the lives of these people in the city." ”

Hao Mu grinned, and scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "It's all a trivial matter, a trivial matter, Zhang County ordered you not to take it to heart." ”

"I didn't say good boy, you." Uncle Wang stepped forward and patted Haomu's body, "What martial arts do you know when you are a baby?" Why didn't I know? You can, I'm afraid this martial arts is not worse than those heroes who come and go. ”

As soon as Uncle Wang finished speaking, those old people surrounded him one after another, praising Hao Mu with nonsense. Hao Mu was surrounded by so many people and praised it? Suddenly he was red-faced, and he didn't dare to speak, so he could only giggle at himself. In the end, it was Grandma Zhang from the east of the city who opened her mouth to help him break the siege, which allowed him to successfully walk out of the crowd.

On the other hand, the fact is indeed as Mu Xiaojiu said, when two of the four troops sent by General Zhang Qizhang rushed to the shore under Mu Xiaojiu's order, the battle over there was stalemate, and the coastal defenders were still faintly at a disadvantage because the battle line was too long.

Fortunately, with the addition of these two new forces, the disadvantages of the war on the shore were quickly alleviated, and even a beautiful counterattack was played, repulsing all the Fusang people who came to attack.

The war was temporarily stopped, Mu Xiaojiu stood not far away, looking at the corpses on the shore in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh a little, raised his hand and beckoned a general next to him, and asked: "This general, I'm afraid this is not the first time that the Fusang people have invaded." ”

The general nodded, and said in a rough voice: "That's right, my lord, since our army was stationed here, the Fuso people have attacked four times, and today is the fifth. The first few times they attacked head-on, but I didn't expect to change their routine this time. ”

As he spoke, he seemed to see Mu Xiaojiu's mood, "My lord, you haven't been on the battlefield much, have you?" To tell the truth, today's Fuso people engaged in such tactics, in fact, the casualties on both sides have been much smaller. This time, the number of losses on both sides is probably less than half of the previous four times. ”

Mu Xiaojiu gasped, "In this way, during this time, on the north bank of the Yangtze River alone, the number of people lost by the army is almost 10,000?" ”

The general frowned and pondered for a while, probably doing addition, and after a while, he nodded, "Yes, almost, it is estimated that there must be about 10,000 people." The previous times it was almost more than 2,000, but this time it was less than 1,000. Alas, it's true to think about it, not to mention our soldiers. I remember that when we came out together, there were seven or eight generals with whom we were drinking, and now there are only five left. ”

In this regard, Mu Xiaojiu could only be silent.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that. My lord, the last general still has some things, and I want to go there to re-arm, so I won't accompany you. The rugged general with a tiger's back hugged Mu Xiaojiu with a fist.

Mu Xiaojiu nodded, "Okay, that general—"

"Hey, what a general is not a general." The general waved his hand, "If General Zhang knew that you called me a general, he might have stripped me of my skin." My name is Xiong Lin, if you don't dislike it, just call me an old bear. ”

After speaking, Xiong Lin didn't grind anymore, turned around and walked towards the shore.

Mu Xiaojiu also knew that he really couldn't help here, so he thought about it and decided to go back to Qidong County first. First, it is because things have changed in the local area, and secondly, I have come to see the current situation over there.

At the same time, the people in Qidong City were being evacuated under the leadership of the county commander Zhang Wei and two generals, Qi Ying and Li Lu. Speaking of which, this invasion of the Fuso people can be regarded as having a good impact - at least many people who were resolutely unwilling to evacuate were so frightened that they were about to leave, and they couldn't stay if they wanted to.

Of course, there are still some who still refuse to leave. As soon as the danger disappeared, these people immediately put away the frightened and frightened look they had just now, put on that arrogant face again, said that they would not leave, and asked to strengthen the guards of Qidong City.

This time, although Qi Ying, Li Lu and the county magistrate Zhang Wei were still helpless against this kind of person, the uncles and aunts couldn't see it, and they picked up the broom lumps and wooden sticks, feather dusters or something in their hands one by one, and they didn't care about the thirty-seven twenty-one, and they greeted those people when they picked them up, and they scolded while scolding:

"I call you Cow! I call you Cow! Little bastard, do you think that if your father and mother die, no one will be able to control you? I'm telling you! Even if your father and mother die, your uncle and I will still be your uncle! What's wrong? What's wrong? You want to fight back, don't you? Come! I'm standing here today, your uncle, and I'll take a fucking look! ”

If you want to say who is the most powerful among these uncles and aunts, then I'm afraid this honor belongs to Uncle Wang. Although it is said that the oldest in the city is Grandma Zhang in the east of the city, the second only to Grandma Zhang is Uncle Wang. In fact, Uncle Wang is not much younger than Grandma Zhang this year, the so-called "uncle" is just a title, there is no way, this old man likes others to call him uncle.

In Qidong City, the county commander Zhang Wei is a big official, representing laws and rules, specializing in handling criminal cases; Uncle Wang is a big man and nosy, acting as an agent for the morality and human feelings in this small county, and is responsible for reconciling civil relations; If there is anything else that these two people can't decide, Grandma Zhang will come forward. However, more often than not, Grandma Zhang, who is not in good health, only acts as a spiritual pillar.

Therefore, Uncle Wang pinched his waist and picked up the wooden stick, how could any of these people dare to fight back? Not only couldn't he fight back, but he was still shouting: "Yes, yes, you are the uncle, you are the uncle!" Uncle! Don't make it? I'm leaving! Can't I go? ”

"I said that you are a little baby, and you don't open the house for three days, and you are angry with me." Carrying a stick and playing around, Uncle Wang stood there a little panting with a wooden stick, and still looked at those who refused to leave with some confusion.

"Let's go, let's go." Grandma Zhang, who had been standing next to her, suddenly opened her mouth: "I didn't speak last time, and I was also lucky, my wife." But this Fuso people have all hit the eyes, and everyone has seen it. If it weren't for Haomu's little baby today, we would all have to throw it here. Property? Silver? Your life is gone, you can't get a single copper! Besides, the adults have all said that they should give you as much as they want, and it's not that they won't give it to you, so you have to hold on to this little thing? One by one, they were blinded by that lard? ”

As soon as Grandma Zhang spoke, everyone stopped talking, only to hear Grandma Zhang continue: "The people in the court have to protect the family and defend the country, but let's just take the pair of tricks in the eye sockets and look there?" We all know that this time is not peaceful, you don't go to the battlefield to fight, can't you help? Seeing that the Fusang people are running faster than rabbits one by one, how can they follow the Central Plains people if they have the strength? Is it in the nest? Li boy, is your brother in the army? And the two members of Lao Mei's family, isn't your eldest son also in the army? If your brother and son are here, you will die in this Qidong County, and let them take their lives to protect you? I'll go home to the old woman, pack up my things, and leave in a while! Whoever doesn't go, I'll let Haomu kidnap him! ”

As she spoke, the cane in Grandma Zhang's hand paused heavily on the ground.

"Sister Zhang, let's go too?" Uncle Wang asked with some confusion.

Grandma Zhang nodded, "All go, all go, no one stays." I also felt that I couldn't lose my hometown, but it's not like we won't come back. Look at it-" Grandma Zhang raised her left hand and pointed at the soldiers, "Look at these babies, with them, with a young man like Haomu, are you still afraid that you won't be able to come back?" Let's leave today, not because these babies can't beat the Fusang people, but because this place is not suitable for guarding. Then let's go and wait until we win, Qidong County is ours! You've lived so long, you don't understand this? ”

Uncle Wang smiled bitterly, "Yes, Sister Zhang, what you said is true." They little bastards are gone, we old bones are left here, and the soldiers are not at ease, we still have to drag them down. Let's go, let's go......"

As he spoke, as if to set an example, Uncle Wang was the first to take a step and walked in the direction of his house.

……

Although the words were spoken, Uncle Wang was still a little reluctant and disappointed when he looked at this Qidong County. After all, he has lived in this city for so many years, and even the army is on the north bank of the Yangtze River, next to Qidong County. Of course, he will feel reluctant.

Not only him, but every old man looked at Qidong County behind him, and there was reluctance in his eyes. The local complex of the Central Plains people has always been very heavy, and the so-called fallen leaves return to their roots, and how many people want to leave their hometown at such an age?

But these old people also know that they should leave.

Zhang Wei's gaze was different from that of these old men, and there was only relief in his eyes now. Today's last city-wide migration can go so smoothly, in fact, it doesn't have much to do with him, the most important thing is that these old people are very reasonable. Maybe they don't have much education, they haven't read a private school, they don't have a school, but they know what it means to be reasonable and what it means to be lenient.

In contrast, the guys who got into the eyes of the money......

When he thought of these people, Zhang Wei had an urge to vomit, to be honest, when he saw these old men picking up brooms, wooden sticks and feather dusters to beat people just now, Zhang Wei really felt very relieved. If it weren't for many considerations, Zhang Wei himself would have wanted to rush up and fight together.

At this time, Mu Xiaojiu also happened to arrive here.

"Who's coming?" Before Mu Xiaojiu could speak, the two generals, Li Lu and Qi Ying, had already taken the lead in meeting him, with vigilance on their faces. There is no way, Qidong County has just suffered a shocking attack by the Fusang people, and now there is a fast-moving martial arts person in front of the team, and the two of them have to be careless.

When Mu Xiaojiu arrived at the barracks earlier, he did not meet these generals, but directly entered General Zhang Qizhang's camp with a herald, and when Mu Xiaojiu went back to look for it, he did not encounter the team led by these two generals, but shuttled from the path he found when he came, and directly found Zhang Wenchao and Wang Wei. So Qi Ying and Li Lu didn't know Mu Xiaojiu, and they didn't know that he was the envoy sent by the imperial court.

Hao Mu had the heart to step forward to answer, but Mu Xiaojiu had already opened his mouth, "Two generals, I am Mu Xiaojiu, the special envoy of the imperial court, this is my waist card." As he spoke, he shook his hand and took out his envoy's waist card to prove his identity.

Qi Ying and Li Lu stepped forward, first confirmed the authenticity of the waist card, and then immediately turned over and dismounted, kneeling down on one knee, "The last general, Qi Ying and Li Lu, have seen Master Mu. ”

Mu Xiaojiu was taken aback by the fact that the two of them were kneeling on one knee when they dismounted, and hurriedly reached out to help him, "Hurry up, you two, don't be so polite." I just came back from the two generals Zhang and Wang, and the things on the front line along the coast have been dealt with, and I will talk about this slowly when I go back, but I don't know what the situation is now? Didn't the people in Qidong County refuse to leave? ”

While asking, Mu Xiaojiu's heart was actually spitting out, "This is not the same as in the script, shouldn't you say at this time: 'Shu Mo will not be able to give full salute with armor on his body'?" ”

Qi Ying and Li Lu, the two generals, naturally didn't know what Mu Xiaojiu was thinking, and after getting up, they explained to him in a whisper, and Mu Xiaojiu knew what happened.
