Zhou Simin was talking to his maid Xiaoman, but Uncle Zheng rushed over.

"Uncle Zheng is in such a hurry, what happened?"

"Reply to the words of the young master, I will come back to get the silver knife of the ginseng."

"Oh, too, I forgot to remind me just now, so please don't let Uncle Zheng go for another trip."

"Uh... Young Master, the whistleman saw that the whistleman was injured, so he didn't want to accept it. After the slave persuaded him, the whistleman should divide half of the old ginseng with the young master. Then the slave came back to get the silver sword."

Zhou Simin's eyes flashed suddenly after hearing this, and he said, "It's a person who is interested. Go."

"Oh." Uncle Zheng replied softly.

....

The next morning.

When Wu Zheng went out to get on the carriage, he saw Zhou Simin.

After the ginseng incident, Wu Zheng nodded politely to Zhou Simin.

Zhou Simin also returned the gift with his head.

Although there was no dialogue, the atmosphere was much more harmonious.

Zhou Simin's carriage did not follow him far away, but followed Wu Zheng's carriage.

Two carriages, one in front and one behind, continued to move south.

Soon, he had passed Wujiang County and entered the boundary of Zhenze County.

On this day, Wu Zheng used the same trick again.

Choose from the defeated soldiers and deserters on both sides of the road who are strong and have a good mental state.

It is a subsidy of 2 taels of cash per month.

At the end of the day, there were already fifty or sixty people behind Wu Zheng.

Although it was only half of the number of people at that time, as long as you didn’t encounter a large group of enemies, there should be no problem in protecting yourself.

Wu fought for the victory but did not conquer the strong men, but only conquered the defeated soldiers. There was a reason for desertion.

First, although Wu Zheng had the experience of leading troops as a physical master, he had no time to train strong men. Moreover, compared with strong men, these defeated soldiers and deserters were regular soldiers after all. From their glamorous clothes, they could see that they did not fire a single shot and collapsed because they were afraid of escaping with the chief officer.

Therefore, in Wu Zheng's view, as long as they train well and give them confidence, they can still make a difference.

As for Wu Zheng's shameless forced recruitment of riot soldiers, Zhou Simin did not accuse him again this time, but there was contempt in his eyes, which Wu Zheng could still feel.

However, Wu Zheng didn't care about Zhou Simin's contempt. It was meaningless to have a dispute with a wealthy son who grew up in a greenhouse.

Wu Zheng was too lazy to explain.

....

The next day.

After walking for a long time, Xiao An came forward to report and went sixty miles further before entering the boundary of Jiaxing Prefecture, Zhejiang.

Wu Zheng was sure that entering Zhejiang would be close to home.

Zhou Simin also seemed very happy, after all, Jiaxing Mansion is closer to Hangzhou.

The group began to speed up, and they were just returning home.

But after turning a corner on the official road.

An accident happened.

Wu Zheng immediately discovered that the refugees who had been traveling south began to rush back.

"Xiao Anzi, go and see what happened?" Wu Zheng said loudly.

Xiao An pulled someone from the refugees running back and asked sternly: "What's wrong?"

The refugee opened his misty eyes and shook his head at a loss, "I don't know, I run back when I see people, so I just run with me."

Xiao An was so amused that he let go of the man, but just kicked the man in the ass, venting his anger.

Then he ran forward dozens of feet away, and at this time he saw a group of Ming military uniforms rushing here.

He met the soldier who was ahead and pulled him to the front and asked sternly, "What happened?"

The soldier took a few breaths and replied, "Brother, run away, the Tartars are coming."

As he said that, he broke free from Xiao An's hand and continued to escape.

Wu Zheng saw the group of Ming troops running towards him from afar, and then his expression changed and ordered Erhan: "Erhan, bring people to block them, no one is allowed to let go."

Wu Zheng understood very well that these defeated soldiers were like waves, like big waves eroding sand, taking away dozens of people around him who had finally gathered.

Panic and escape are contagious. One passes two, two passes ten, ten means a hundred.

When Erhan heard the order, he kicked the soldiers beside him, and drove them to gather on the official road like a duck.

Fortunately, they are all Ming army, so the dozens of Wu Zheng's subordinates are not afraid of their compatriots.

After a while, a three-story wall in front and back was erected, blocking the incoming defeated soldiers.

But suddenly I was blocked and the crowd was in high spirits.

All kinds of swear words filled the process and couldn't bear to hear them.

Wu Zheng got out of the carriage, stood in the carriage, shouting loudly: "I am the chief guard of General Jiading, who are you in charge? Go forward and answer."

A man with a strong face and a strong body came out and replied: "I have met Chen Sheng, the chief bannerman of the Qianhu, the Jinshan Guard Office, I wonder why he blocked our way?"

Wu Zheng asked, "Where are your hundred households, thousands of households?"

The chief flag replied angrily: "I've run away long ago."

Wu Zheng was depressed, what is this?

"Chen Sheng, why did he flee?"

"There are Tartars behind it." Chen Sheng replied, "Sir, you can run away too, if you don't run away, you won't be able to escape."

“How many people are there?”

"I don't know, I only saw a dark place."

Wu Zheng said angrily: "Even if your chief officer escapes, as the general flag, how can you escape without even knowing the number of enemies?"

Chen Sheng also said angrily: "A hundred households, thousands of households have fled. Why should I blame me? Get out of here quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being disrespectful."

As they spoke, the two defeated soldiers heard Chen Sheng dared to fight Wu like this. After becoming more courageous, they drew out their swords and pointed at the soldiers blocking the road.

Wu Zheng knew very well that if this situation could not suppress the situation, the situation would lead to a fight.

When you fall, you don’t need an enemy to attack, and you will collapse.

So he shouted loudly: "Erhan, kill them."

Erhan waved his sword, and the sword light flashed, and his two heads rolled down.

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was stunned, Wu Zheng shouted loudly, "Those who dare to escape, kill them!"

Chen Sheng was furious and scolded Wu Zheng: "Your ancestor, what do you want to do?"

Chen Sheng was really worried, and he also understood that this situation could not be fought.

Once there is a fight, there is no way to survive.

Wu Zheng glared at each other and cursed: "As the general flag, you will collapse before the battle. According to the law, you will be killed immediately."

Chen Sheng was so angry that he laughed, "I said everything, there are the Tartars behind him, and we have few people who can't beat it."

"If you haven't fought, how could you not beat me? I crawled out of the sea of ​​blood in Jiading, killed dozens of Tartars, and none of the soldiers under my command were as cowardly as you. Look at you who are big and thick, you are not as good as a woman... Come on, take off your military uniform and crawl through my official crotch, and I will let you escape."

Chen Sheng was so angry that he was stunned for a while, and cried out, "Sir, the Ming Dynasty is dead, why are you still sticking to?"
