Chapter 43: Deviating to Tiger Mountain

In the blue sky, the incandescent sunlight makes people dare not look at it. The clouds seem to have been melted and disappeared without a trace.

But there was a trace of heat on the ground, and it was as hot as a steamer.

Zhao Shouzheng stood in the shade, and the boy next to him was still jogging, but his face was still covered in sweat, not knowing whether it was scared or hot.

"Zeng Yiben is the Zengren who likes to massacre the city?!"

"Yes." The intelligence officer nodded and said, "I heard that Chaozhou is in chaos. They gathered several pirates in Penghu, with a number of 50,000. Now they have captured Nan'ao Island and are preparing to go up along the Han River and take Chaozhou City straight!"

"The government troops on Nan'ao Island are so vulnerable?" Zhao Shouzheng exclaimed first, then waved his hand and said, "When I didn't say it."

Then he asked quickly, "What's going on in the city now?"

"The dragons have no heads and are in chaos." The intelligence officer said: "I heard that even the most basic thing is to guard or escape, there is no way to unify the opinions. When the villain passed by, he saw the wealthy families and people who were fleeing, they were already lined up in a long queue."

"That's how..." Zhao Shouzheng said silently, and kept wiping his sweat with a hand towel... In fact, he didn't know what to ask. How could a scholar who grew up in a peaceful and prosperous place have seen such a scene?

Fortunately, the two old gentlemen Xu and Wu were escorted. Both of them had resisted the Japanese. The former was also the chief military advisor of the Japanese. They had seen scenes that were ten times more critical than this. Where did they go?

The two carefully asked about the enemy's equipment, wherever they came from, training status, food carried, and how they were doing.

After all the questions were made, the intelligence officer was asked to go down first.

I saw Mr. Zhao still sweating profusely and standing there with a pale face.

Xu Wei shook his palm-shaped fan and smiled, "Boss, are you scared silly?"

"Oh, it seems that the city is in danger." Zhao Shouzheng came to his senses and took a dry towel to continue wiping his sweat.

"What should we do? Retreat the Zhao'an County?" Xu Wei smiled teasingly, "It's a good idea. Zeng Yiben was to recruit people, and the rabbit didn't eat grass by his nest."

"Remove...Is this appropriate?" Zhao Shouzheng asked in a daze.

"Why is it not suitable? Don't you know that Zeng Renmao likes to massacre the city the most? Now when you go to Chaozhou, don't you light lanterns in the pit - seeking death?" Xu Wei said with a smile.

"What do you think of Mr. Wu?" Zhao Shouzheng asked Wu Chengen again.

"If you want to retreat, you have to retreat at this time. If we move forward, we will enter Chaozhou Prefecture. If we retreat again, we will be called to escape in the last battle and leave our post without permission." Wu Chengen said.

"Where are you retreating now?" Zhao Shouzheng asked back.

"At most, it can only be considered a cringe and being scolded a few words, and a few pieces of meat are indispensable." Wu Chengen, the aide, was much more qualified, and thought for Mr. Zhao: "Chaozhou is so chaotic now. Dongweng shouldn't have wade into this muddy water. It's too dangerous. Those pirates don't care whether you are the top scorer or the most rank official. The prefect who was killed in Fujian and Guangdong cannot count both hands."

After a pause, he said, "And don't you know the Dongweng of the Ming Dynasty? Doing too many mistakes will make a good mistake. Once you stick to the stains of Chaozhou's fallen spots, you will not be able to wash them off in the future, and your career will end."

"Well..." Zhao Shouzheng nodded, covered his face with a veil, raised his head and said weakly: "Let me think about it, I think about it."

"But you have to think about it." Xu Wei crossed his legs, drank the iced wine leisurely, and dragged the Kunqu opera tone and said, "One step in heaven, one step in hell!"

"I want to pee when you said..." Zhao Shouzheng looked at him helplessly, walked into the deep forest and urinated.

"You should say less." The writer glared at his wife and said, "Young Master Zhao spent a lot of money to support you, not for you to let you play his father like a monkey."

"Hey, I'm doing it for his own good." Xu Wei smiled heartlessly: "His son can give him hundreds of helpers, and we can also help him with advice, but he has to get the idea."

As he said that, he drank the wine in his glass and said, "If you really enter Chaozhou, there will be many places that are difficult to choose. Where will you go? If he doesn't have the awareness, he will return to the county town as soon as possible to benefit others and yourself. At this age, we don't have to be tired as a dog in the hot weather."

"Oh..." The words were rough and the author was speechless.

The two of them talked for a while before they saw Mr. Zhao coming out of the woods with a pale face.

"What, is this a lax?" the lonely painter smiled.

Wu Chengen glared at him and hurriedly met him and said, "Dongweng, I'm going to order a turn around now?"

"No turning back." Zhao Shouzheng shook his head, and said in a weak way: "Let's go to Chaozhou."

"Ah?" Wu Chengen was shocked and said, "Go to Chaozhou?"

"Or what?" Zhao Shouzheng smiled miserably and said, "If I go back, I will never be hard in my life."

"What?" Wu Chengen was stunned and thought to himself, "Where is this?

"Call everyone over, I have something to say." Mr. Zhao forced himself to inspire.

"Uh..." Wu Chengen wanted to persuade him again.

"Go quickly!" the painter urged.

"Oh, OK." The writer had to do it.

~~

After a while, except for the guards, all five hundred people accompanied him arrived.

Looking at Master Zhao Er, he had washed his face and was dressed neatly again. He was wearing a fifth-rank blue official robe and a black gauze hat on his head. He stood steadily on a big stone.

He first asked Wu Chengen to introduce the shocking changes of Chaozhou Prefecture, and then said in a deep voice:

"To be honest, I just heard this news, and I wanted to turn around and run away. But then I thought, I was a co-magistrate of Chaozhou Prefecture. Now the prefect is missing. As usual, he is the acting prefect and leads the people to fight against the pirates. If I escape at the battle, even if the court is lucky, I will not be able to rest in my life."

"The only way to die is to die forever. I have made a difficult decision. I have to fulfill my responsibilities and go to Chaozhou!" He paused and took a deep breath and said to everyone: "But you are different. You are not officials of the court, and you have nothing to do with Chaozhou. You don't have to take this risk. Especially the scholars, doctors, farmers, and merchants among you are all precious talents. Sacrifice is a huge loss, so please ask them all back."

"What did the master say? We are the young master's slaves, how can we abandon the master and run away?" a group of managers shouted.

"Master, if you leave me behind, what kind of face will we have to see the teacher again?" The readers also shouted.

"Since you want to defend the city, we need to contribute our strength!" The medical staff at Jiangnan Hospital said with confidence: "Save death and help the wounded is the duty of our doctors. How can we not save the death?"

"We, we..." The group of people from Jiangnan Agricultural College really didn't know what reason to look for, so they just fooled: "If they don't leave, we won't leave either. Otherwise, they will discriminate against us!"

"What's the use of you and the group of people who teach people to farm? "Zhao Erye was speechless.

"We can make explosives with nitrate!" Who knew that they would set it one by one. "And they can also cook manure..."

When Mr. Zhao remembered the strong smell of Kunshan Agricultural College, he couldn't help feeling disgusted, thinking that the thing was indeed a powerful weapon to defend the city.

As a result, he persuaded him for a long time, but not one of them went back, so he had to bow to everyone and said solemnly: "I, Zhao Shouzheng, thank you for your kind help. If you pass this luckily, you will definitely be rewarded in the future!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be amazed. How generous would it be to send the second master's kindness?

Xu Wei and Wu Chengen stood in the distance, watching Zhao Shouzheng mobilize everyone's emotions, the latter couldn't help but nod in relief.

What is more valuable than bravery is that he is obviously afraid but he still insists on doing it...

"The game of chess in Chaozhou is alive." Xu Wei also showed a rare smile and said to the writer: "I won't go to the city with you."

"Where are you going?" the writer asked hurriedly.

"Chaoyang County." Xu Wenchang said lightly.

"You are going to find Lin Dao?" Wu Chengen looked at him in surprise.

"Why don't that be? Wait until the government army comes to rescue it? The government army must be able to survive?" Xu Wenchang rolled his eyes and said.

Not to mention the slow-moving official army, they can reach Chaozhou City in the Year of the Monkey and Horses in the Year of the Monkey. Even if they can quickly complete the assembly and reach the border of Chaozhou Prefecture, it is still a matter of whether they can live in Jieyang County.

For historical reasons, the entire Chaozhou Prefecture has a very distrustful attitude towards the government and the army. In fact, this is not a fault with the people, it is all done by the government and the army themselves.

At this time, the Guangdong army launched a large-scale entry into Chaozhou, which would definitely cause them to panic, and they believed that the official army came to avenge the prefect Li. If the conflicts were further intensified, it would even lead to another ten-year chaos! No one could bear this responsibility!

"You can still wait for Zhao Hao." The writer didn't want his wife to take risks.

"A joke, don't you say he's thousands of miles away now. Even if he's right in front of you, will he dare to lead the army into Chaozhou Prefecture?" Xu Wei raised his beard and said proudly: "This time I will lift the siege of Chaozhou without any effort, so that the boy will look down on us."

"Oh, you said you are all the same, why are you still so angry?" Wu Chengen said depressedly.

"Only garlic, it's even more spicy!" Xu Wei rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, don't persuade me, I'll urge me to update!"

"There is no pot that can be opened and the pot that can be opened." The writer was stabbed in a weak spot and dared not speak again.

~~

At this time, after Mr. Zhao finished speaking, he came over to ask for advice from both of them.

"Two gentlemen, what should we do after we arrive in Chaozhou?" Zhao Shouzheng asked very politely.

"So you have no idea. It sounded like Zhizhu was holding it just now." Xu Wei sneered.

"Hehe, aren't there two gentlemen here?" Zhao Shouzheng scratched his head and smiled, "To be honest, when my son went north, he said, "Dad, don't mess around when you encounter difficulties. Remember to ask Lao Wu if you don't decide anything, and Lao Wu doesn't decide to ask Lao Xu."

"Oh, hahaha." Xu Wei was very happy when he heard this and laughed: "It's a good thing that kid still knows, don't bother me with small things."

"Yes, it's not easy. Now there's something big about asking for advice from Mr. Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly smiled and said, "I don't know if Mr. will come out?"

"Just listen to Lao Wu. Although he has mediocre qualifications, he has brought the village hero to fight against the Japanese for many years, and he still has some experience." Then Xu Wei said lightly: "Then wait for me to come and save you!"

When Wu Chengen looked at Xu Wei saying this, his whole body seemed to be glowing. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. This should be what Zhao Hao called "performance personality". He liked to show off, and the bigger the stage, the more excited it became...
