Chapter 2089 Conquered
True to his word, Zhu Ping'an immediately ordered Liu Dadao and others to hand over 500 pairs of spare cotton armor to the wolf soldiers.
Touching the brand new and well-made armor, Cen Dalu was still in disbelief. Such good armor was really given to us? !
Real stuff!
The inside is lined with iron sheets, which is not only powerful, but also has excellent defense!
Such good armor, so many armors, this Lord Zhongyuan, who we only met once, actually gave it to us!
"Silly boy, why are you still standing there, why don't you join me in saying thank you to Mr. Zhu." Mrs. Wa Shi saw Cen Dalu giggling on the spot while touching his armor, so she couldn't help but slap him on the back of the head and lectured him.
"Oh, thank you Master Zhu, thank you Master Zhu."
Only then did Cen Dalu react and confirm that the armors that were so good and so numerous really belonged to their wolf soldiers.
At this time, Cen Dalu couldn't help but burst into tears.
Their wolf soldiers were ordered by Governor Zhang Jingzhang to come to the south of the Yangtze River from Guangxi to help the Central Plains people exterminate the Japanese pirates. When they set out from Tianzhou, their local government did not give them a grain of rice, an arrow, or a horse. !
They prepared their own dry food, their own weapons, and their own flattery. They traveled thousands of miles and went through a lot of hardships. They traveled from Wuzhou, passed through Nanxiong, Guangdong, crossed the Dayuling Mountains, and then took a boat to Nanchang, Jiangxi, and transferred to Jiangnan. At one stop, we disembarked in Danyang, Jiangsu Province.
However, as soon as they got off the boat and set foot on the land of Jiangnan, their wolf soldiers were severely splashed with cold water.
Exhausted, they wanted to drink hot soup and have a good sleep before continuing on their way.
To this day, Cen Dalu still remembers the scene when they first got off the boat.
"Hey, we are here to help the people from the Central Plains in the south of the Yangtze River fight the Japanese pirates. We are their reinforcements. They don't even have to wait for us to greet us."
"Haha, no, think about it. When we were in chaos in Tianzhou, our brothers Langbing who returned to Shunzhou came to help us. How did we entertain them? Those fat pigs, fat sheep, fat chickens, and fat ducks were roasted directly. It's dripping with oil. I heard that the food in the Central Plains is so delicious that it can swallow people's tongues."
"Hey hey hey, I'm still a bachelor. What if a woman from the Central Plains falls in love with me while she's cooking for us?"
"Just dream, Dachong. As ugly as you are, how can a woman from the Central Plains fall in love with you?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
The wolf soldiers who had just got off the boat and set foot on the land of Danyang were all very happy. After sitting on the boat for so long, it was damp, cramped, and swaying. Now they have landed. Thinking about the welcome they are about to receive, they are all full of expectations. .
However, they thought about so many scenarios, but they never expected that the county magistrate of Danyang would hide from their wolf soldiers, and the people in Danyang City would also close their doors one by one and not accept their wolf soldiers!
no!
We have come all the way to help you fight against Japanese pirates, are you just treating us like this? ! Not to mention eating the soup from the pot, competing to heat the soup, but not even giving us a sip of cold water? ! Avoid us like snakes and scorpions!
We are here to help you fight against Japanese pirates! We are your rescuers!
It's so chilling for you to be like this.
In the end, I could only give up the idea of resting, drag my exhausted body, and continue to move forward.
"Bah! They are still Danyang people, feel shameful for them! During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Ling relied on 5,000 Danyang infantry to fight 80,000 Xiongnu cavalry for eight days and eight nights. Although he was defeated, he was glorious and became famous in one battle; during the Three Kingdoms period, Danyang became famous. The soldiers are still famous in the world. Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce all recruited soldiers in Danyang to fight for the world! But look at how cowardly they are now! "
The wolf soldiers arrived at the second stop - Suzhou, cursing all the way!
"Danyang County is a small place, and it doesn't have the courage to accept us into the city. This Suzhou City is a famous big city in the world, and it will definitely not be petty."
"Yes, yes, the big city is definitely grand."
The wolf soldiers arrived at Suzhou City with their extremely tired bodies full of expectations.
But!
However, the prefect of Suzhou strictly ordered the city gates to be closed tightly, and they were not allowed to enter the city, and ordered them to set up tents outside the city.
Damn it!
In the cold winter, the cold wind is howling and snowflakes are falling. You let us set up a tent outside to rest! This, this is your way of hospitality!
"My lord, we have been waiting for the savages from the southwest to conquer Susong for a long time. We have come all the way to help the king's army destroy the Japanese. Now we are trapped and exhausted. We just want a shelter from the wind and snow and a place to rest for one night. That's enough. "
"Please rest assured, Lord Magistrate, we Biqiu will do no harm and will never disturb a single person in your area."
Mrs. Wa's stepped forward and clasped her fists.
"Under the old system of our ancestors, no matter where the wolf soldiers are being recruited, they are not allowed to enter the city!" Suzhou Prefect insisted.
"What kind of old system is this?! There is actually an old system specifically for our wolf soldiers? Where are the other guest soldiers? When we heard that the Shandong Lancers were coming, you were so enthusiastic?!"
"That's unreasonable! Didn't you invite our wolf soldiers?! Is this how you treat the reinforcements?!"
"Quit it. Since you don't welcome us, why should we lick our faces and work hard for you? Quit it, go home, let's go back to our hometown! I really think Grandpa Xihan came to work for you to fight the Japanese pirates!"
The vast number of wolf soldiers broke through their defenses for a while. Their bodies were tired, cold, and chilled, and their hearts were filled with anger, anger, and grievance. They shouted excitedly to go home.
There are even many wolf soldiers waving weapons and clamoring to break into Suzhou City. If you don't let them in, I insist on going in!
"How dare you! You think we in Suzhou are easy to bully, but let me tell you, there are 40,000 Japanese pirates lying dead under our city. Do you want to keep company with them?!"
When the Suzhou soldiers on the city heard the noise of the wolf soldiers, they waved their weapons and showed off to the wolf soldiers below the city their glorious record of killing 40,000 Japanese pirates in Suzhou City, severely destroying the majesty of the wolf soldiers.
"Bah! It was obviously the Zhejiang Army that killed the Japanese pirates. Why are you so proud of yourselves? If it weren't for the Zhejiang Army, you would have been captured by the Japanese pirates!"
The wolf soldiers had heard about the Battle of Suzhou on the way here, until the protagonist of this battle was the Zhejiang Army. If it hadn't been for the Zhejiang Army, Suzhou would have fallen to the Japanese pirates just like Jiaxing, but they actually had the nerve to brag about it.
In the end, Mrs. Wa's prestige was enough to suppress the wolf soldiers who broke through the defenses and made a fuss. She also waited for Zhang Jing's envoy and persuaded the Suzhou magistrate to open the city gate before allowing the wolf soldiers to enter the city. The scope of their activities was also limited to the city. military camp.
Along the way, I didn’t know how much I had suffered, like feeling chilled and rolling my eyes.
The local people in Jiangnan also discriminated against them, saying that they wore black turbans and white turbans, just like the dead wearing mourning.
This was the first time they had encountered such generosity and kindness from Zhu Pingan.
"Master Zhu, you are the first person that I, Cen Dalu, admired after arriving in the Central Plains. Before, I judged a gentleman with a villain's heart. I was just a fledgling, and I was blind to the mountains. I apologize to you again. I am a barbarian. , I can’t speak, but I, Cen Dalu, swear to God that from now on, whenever your lord gives orders, whether it’s going to the Mountain of Swords or going down into the Sea of Fire, I, Cen Dalu, will do whatever I can. If I disobey, I will be pierced by thousands of arrows and die badly!”
Cen Dalu's eyes were red, he knelt down on one knee with his fists clasped, completely impressed by Zhu Pingan. (End of chapter)
