Chapter 2 Attacked

The group were resting in the inn, but Gu Zhenhua tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at all. Through chatting, he finally figured out the situation.

He Zhonghou was the accountant of Zhu Chunchen, Duke Chengguo. He originally went to Shanxi to handle the accounts. As a result, Li Zicheng had already proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an, and the Dashun army swept towards Shanxi. They hurried back to Beijing and met themselves halfway.

Moreover, Gu Zhenhua also learned from Lu Yong that He Zhonghou had a son named He Fang, who was the escort of the Duke's Mansion. In the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Tartars entered the pass and plundered, and they collided with the Tartars in Tianjin.

He Fang fought to the death with several guards at that time, Lu Yong and the old man He Zhonghou and others were able to escape from the tiger's mouth. Three days later, when they returned, they only found a few burnt corpses.

Gu Zhenhua's stature was very similar to He Fang. He was hit by a meteorite again, and his body was pitch black, which aroused He Zhonghou's memory, so he saved him desperately.

After figuring out the causes and consequences, Gu Zhenhua felt as if he had fallen into an ice hole in the past few days. He had read history books. It was less than a month since Li Zicheng entered Beijing, and less than two months before the Qing Dynasty entered the pass.

Only at this little time can you do, even if you have been a year or two earlier, you may still have hope, but what else can you change after reaching this point? Is God who lets himself reach this era just to witness the tragedy of history?

In addition to the Jiashen Incident, there are more realistic threats. He Zhonghou and Lu Yong are both people at the Duke Cheng's mansion. In normal times, this is definitely a thick leg that is worth holding it at all costs. But now it is different. Gu Zhenhua clearly remembers that after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, Zhu Chunchen, as a representative of the nobles, was beheaded directly.

It was originally the end of the world, but I got into a bad luck again. This was like giving double insurance to the death penalty. It would be hard to even lose my mind!

Gu Zhenhua had no time to sleep, so he simply sat up and racked his brains to think about a way out. There was no need to think about the Ming Dynasty, and Li Zicheng's big success would definitely not go well. As for the Qing Dynasty, Gu Zhenhua would only feel disgusted when he thought of the shameful pig tail!

Moreover, even if he did things for the Qing Dynasty against his conscience, he would not have a good ending. Take Hong Chengchou as an example. He was so filial, but he ended up in the "Biography of the Two Ministers" and was a dog for the Qing Dynasty. His master spat on him.

After thinking about it, there seems to be only one way out, that is, the Southern Ming Dynasty! The Qing Dynasty did not immediately occupy the entire China when it entered the pass. The military and civilians in the southeast and southwest were still fighting against the enemy. The war continued until the Kangxi period and lasted for decades.

If you surrender to Nanming, rely on your own abilities to form a team and fight against the Qing Dynasty, you will be the best to win. If you can't win, you will flee overseas. In short, you can't be a slave.

When it comes to organizing the team and training the army, Gu Zhenhua is still a little confident. He joined the army at the age of 18 and stayed in the army for five years. Later, because of a conflict with his superiors, he resolutely left the army and relied on his own efforts to establish a real estate company. In less than five years, his value soared to billions.

Thinking of his former majesty, Gu Zhenhua also showed a hint of complacentness. Wolves traveled all over the world to eat meat, and dogs traveled all over the world to eat shit! He was a character, so there was no reason he couldn't survive. A group of uncivilized savages also wanted to fight with him, which was simply a delusion.

Gu Zhenhua kept cheering himself up, and the more he thought about it, the more confident he became. However, if he wanted to realize these long-term plans, the most important thing was to keep his head first, otherwise he would only die before he could succeed.

Now that I go back to the capital, the risk is too great. Li Zicheng will come over with his butt. The best choice is to go south immediately, and the farther away from the place of right and wrong, the better.

Of course, it is best to bring He Zhonghou and Lu Yong and others. First, these people save themselves, and they must not be in danger. Second, they are not familiar with the place. If they can win over a few people to run with them, they will have a team, and Gu Zhenhua gradually has a plan in his mind.

After thinking about it all night, a glimmer of light had just appeared in Dongfang. Slap... The knock on the door came, and Gu Zhenhua hurried to open the door. The old man He Zhonghou stood at the door, and he was still holding a brown dress in his hand.

When the old man saw Gu Zhenhua, he smiled and said, "It's all because of the old man's carelessness. He forgot to prepare clothes for you. This one is Lu Yong's. If you don't dislike it, just change it quickly."

Only then did Gu Zhenhua notice his clothes. The originally exquisite handmade suit had long been smoked black and could not tell his original appearance at all. Some parts were even exposed. Fortunately, He Zhonghou and the others did not notice his strange costumes.

"Thank you, Mr., for your trouble."

"Don't be old, sir. If you don't see me, please call me Uncle Six, as it will be pleasant."

"Yes, thank you Uncle Six."

Gu Zhenhua took the clothes and hurried back to the room, tearing off the original torn clothes. But just as he was changing his clothes, he suddenly felt a little strange. Although the clothes were burned, there was no scar at all, and the muscles were fuller and stronger. His arms were thicker, and his chest muscles were more obvious. The neat eight-pack abdominal muscles were even more powerful than the bodybuilding champion. Looking down, it was bigger and longer than before. Gu Zhenhua's eyes suddenly lit up. It seemed that time traveling was not without benefits.

At least you are younger, more energetic, and more guaranteed to be happy. However, if you want to enjoy a good life, you should first get rid of the dangers in front of you. If you can't save your life, everything is nonsense!

Gu Zhenhua hurriedly changed his clothes, and the original ragged clothes were all round, so he was about to throw them away. But Gu Zhenhua hesitated for a moment and hurriedly flipped through his pockets of clothes. Sure enough, he found a pen, two versions of antibiotics, a few painkillers, a compass, and half a pack of cigarettes.

Gu Zhenhua carefully stuffed all into his arms. Although these things were inconspicuous in later generations, they might be life-saving things in the late Ming Dynasty, especially medicines, which would be worth ten thousand yuan.

Gu Zhenhua hurriedly flipped over again, fearing that something useful was left behind, but he found another military dagger on the trouser leg. This was the prize he received when he was in the army. Only three people in a regiment got it. He used the best alloy steel, which was extremely sharp, and Gu Zhenhua also liked it very much.

"Old guy, I didn't have the chance to go to the battlefield in the past, I'm afraid I'll have the chance to drink blood this time!" Gu Zhenhua tied the dagger to his calves, squatted down and tried it to ensure that he could pull it out as quickly as possible.

Everything was collected, and the remaining ragged clothes were of no value. Gu Zhenhua threw them away without hesitation. When he got outside, Lu Yong and the others had already prepared and were about to set off.

"Zhenhua, can you ride a horse?"

"Yes, but not very proficient."

Lu Yong said indifferently: "Just be able to ride, we have to leave quickly."

As he spoke, Lu Yong pointed to a big green horse next to him: "It's a coincidence that he said it. I didn't expect that there would be horse dealers in this small town. This horse is a bit wild. I don't know if you can subdue Zhenhua. If it doesn't work, just ride my horse and leave this green horse to me."

"Brother Lu, the man, can't be said to be impossible!"

Gu Zhenhua walked to the side of the horse in a few steps. While the horse was not paying attention, he pressed the saddle with one hand, stepped on the stirrup with one foot, and flew to sit steadily on the horse's back. The movement was done in one go without a trace of stagnation and hesitation.

Lu Yong was an expert, and immediately applauded, and the others also showed a look of praise. In fact, Lu Yong gave Gu Zhenhua a new horse, and had his own plans to test Gu Zhenhua's ability. When the war was in chaos and he could lose his head at any time, no one had the heart to save a waste snack. Don't look at Gu Zhenhua and He Fang looking very similar, if it was dragged down by others because of him, Lu Yong would not be able to explain it.

Now seeing that Gu Zhenhua is good at riding skills, Lu Yong is also very satisfied and turns over to the horse. At this time, the waiter also ran out, carrying more than a dozen oil paper bags in his hand, and everything contained dry food. Each person had a bag. After they were packed, everyone rode their horses and set off quickly along the road.

Gu Zhenhua focused all his attention on these big green horses. He used to ride horses to have fun, but he might have to rely on war horses to survive in the future.

drive!

The big green horse spread its legs and ran very fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, it surpassed all the other war horses and grabbed the first place. It was not satisfied and its speed became faster and faster. Gradually, the big green horse seemed to know that it was a young man on his back, becoming more and more bold, kicking his back legs and constantly jumping upwards, wanting to throw Gu Zhenhua down.

When Gu Zhenhua encountered such a fierce horse for the first time, he could only try his best to grab the reins and press them tightly on the horse's back. However, the horse almost lifted Gu Zhenhua to the ground several times.

At this moment, the guards behind also saw the problem. Sun Cheng hurriedly beat the war horse, chased after him, and shouted loudly: "Brother Gu, relax your body, don't use brute force."

"Don't just beg your horse's belly, follow the rhythm of the war horse and use the force to use it!"

Through the sound of the wind, Sun Cheng's words finally came. Gu Zhenhua also woke up a little, relaxed his legs, and his body gradually rose and fell with the war horse. After all, the war horse is also a flesh and blood body. Every time he explodes, he must accumulate strength first. Gu Zhenhua gradually understood its rules and followed the strength of the war horse, and he was indeed much more relaxed.

After running for a while, Gu Zhenhua became more and more relaxed on the horse's back: "Thank you Brother Sun for reminding me that your method is really effective!"

"It turns out that I have been on the horse's back for more than ten years, with my fingernails growing hair, I'm a veteran!" Sun Cheng laughed and said, "Brother Gu, you have to be cruel to deal with beasts. If you are wild, you have to beat it hard. If you are afraid of it, you will listen to you!"

Gu Zhenhua on the horse nodded excitedly, seized the opportunity, waved his big fist, and hit the horse's head with three punches, punching the flesh. The big green horse was also full of stars and kept crying, and he never dared to be arrogant again.

The big green horse finally became honest and began to obey Gu Zhenhua's orders. Gu Zhenhua also followed the speed of the war horse and bowed to Lao Sun.

"Brother Sun, your riding skills are indeed amazing. I rely on your guidance!"

When Lao Sun heard this, he laughed: "Brother Gu, if you want to talk about my riding skills, I was trained at the border and I am definitely one of the best in the Duke's Mansion. But I don't have the ability to teach a few knights in a few words. After all, I am very smart, and I can understand it at all!"

"Brother Sun, I didn't expect you to be a warrior who guards the border for the country. What I admire most is the good man who kills the enemy and serves the country. If there was no border army to live, there would be no peace in the world. It's just that it's a pity that those literati dared to slander the warriors. They didn't think about it. They could sing the wind and the moon, but they didn't rely on vulgarity, otherwise the beauty in their arms would have long become a plaything for foreign races!"

"Well said!" Sun Cheng laughed and said, "Brother said this to my heart. If everyone in the world can really think like me, even if we brothers die on the battlefield, we will still have a smile on our faces!"

The more Gu Zhenhua and Sun Cheng talked, the more enthusiastic they became. Sun Cheng has been in the border army, and Gu Zhenhua has served in the army for many years. Although time and space are different, the blood in the soldiers' bones is still the same. The more they talk, the happier they are, and they have the intention of meeting each other too late.

Among the guards, Sun Cheng's status is second only to Lu Yong. Gu Zhenhua has a good relationship with him, and other guards have accepted him, and everyone is becoming more and more familiar with him.

After walking for a morning, people were trapped and horses were exhausted. Everyone got off their war horses and sat on the side of the road to gnaw dry food. Gu Zhenhua and Sun Cheng sat on the bluestone beside the woods, chewing steamed buns.

After eating three steamed buns in a row, Gu Zhenhua lowered his head to get the water bag, but at this moment, he suddenly found three black dots shot out from the woods and came straight for them.

"Not good!" Gu Zhenhua suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly shouted: "There is an enemy!"

While he was talking, he held Lao Sun down, and the two of them fell to the ground. An arrow shot overhead and landed on the bluestone, causing a spark to burst out.
