Chapter 159 Zhou Lao 3 was dumbfounded again
That day, Yuan Niang, who was guarding the corridor outside the girls' school, saw Jiang Li coming out holding the medical books and leading Yi An, and hurried forward to take the heavy books from her hands.
"Madam, this is the letter Madam Liang sent from the city."
"Okay." Jiang Li took the envelope and asked An Ge'er to go to the yard to play with the other boys around him.
He returned to the front hall, picked up the brewed hot tea, took a sip, and then took out the letter in his hand.
Liang's handwriting is elegant and graceful, which is consistent with her personality that is as gentle as a chrysanthemum.
The content of the letter roughly stated that Deputy General Cheng learned that Que Ge'er was on Changsheng Island, and he intended to select the best one from among the Prime Minister's many disciples and send him to Changsheng Island to teach the child.
In the letter, Liang first asked Jiang Li for her opinion. If she was unwilling, the couple would give up the idea.
Jiang Li has always paid attention to her brother's studies, so she would naturally be willing to have a good teacher.
Soon, Jiang Li finished writing a reply and gave it to Yuan Niang: "Send someone to deliver it to the Cheng family and give it to Madam Liang."
"Yes." Yuan Niang took the letter with both hands and walked out of the room.
Hearing the sound of children playing in the yard outside the corridor, Jiang Li got up and went to the corridor. He looked at the two boys, Ang'er and Xing Mu, who got two soft whips from somewhere and whipped the two scarecrows made by Ming Qing in a very formal manner.
My brother's school is not over yet, otherwise, if Jing Ge'er saw this whip, he would definitely have more fun playing with it than his younger brothers.
Aowu squatted beside her legs. Jiang Li reached out and gently stroked its head, asking softly, "Did you go hunting in the mountains today?"
"Awooo~" The big wolf cub howled happily to the sky
Aowu said that Changsheng Island was much more comfortable than living in the village. Not only was the yard large, but he could also freely enter and exit the gate and stroll in the mountains.
Looking at the pet in front of him, Jiang Li felt as if he was in another world. Recalling the first time he met this little cub, it was just a small furry ball.
The spring equinox has passed now, and Jiang Li is curious about the fighting of the rebels in the front, but he doesn't know where the fighting has progressed.
In the middle of the river, Yangzhou City.
In just six months after the capture of Jingzhou, the rebel army grew rapidly. Zhou Chunfeng and Xiao Ce led the army together to attack the city occupied by the Prince of Huai.
Wherever they went, they were invincible, their offensive was fierce, and they defeated the Huai Wang army step by step.
Wang Huai, whose fiefdom had been repeatedly lost, was forced to restrain his generals from slaughtering civilians and try to turn the tide of public sentiment. Even after being occupied by them for half a year, the people of Yangzhou were still living in constant fear.
This was because the people all knew about the brutal acts committed by the Huai Wang army in the past. Most of the people in Yangzhou City fled here from other places last year. Before they could get a firm foothold, Yangzhou City was captured by the Huai Wang army.
When the people heard that the rebels had reached the city gates, they were happy, knowing that the rebels were good people. But they were also frightened and fled, fearing that innocent people would be affected by the fighting. For a time, the city was in chaos, and screams and cries echoed through the thick smoke.
When the Huai Wang army faced the rebel army at the gates of the city, everyone showed fear on their faces, but they had no choice but to fight for their master.
Outside the closed city gate, Zhou Chunfeng rode on a tall horse, with thousands of soldiers following behind him.
Amidst the hail of artillery fire, Zhou Chunfeng and Xiao Chao stared coldly at the Huai Wang generals on the high platform of the city wall.
Because the Huai Army actually captured dozens of innocent civilians in the city as hostages and put knives at their necks to force the rebels to withdraw.
"The rebels claim to be fighting for the people of the world. Today, if you dare to break through the city gate, the people in the city will be harmed by you, the rebels. And these hostages, you'd better think about it!" The general of King Huai made a harsh remark in a loud voice. He bet that the rebels would not dare to do so.
Xiao Chao gritted his teeth in anger and said angrily, "Old Zhou, what are you waiting for? Let's attack the city. If Yangzhou falls into the hands of Prince Huai, the people inside will also have a hard time."
Zhou Chunfeng certainly knew that it was not that he was afraid to fight, nor was he afraid of being criticized, he was just waiting.
Looking at the nearly ten children on the high platform of the city wall, he gritted his teeth and held back. Among them were many young and strong men, all of whom were scared to death.
However, in the eyes of the Huai Army, his waiting was cowardice, fear, and terror.
The generals of the Huai King on the city wall had fought Zhou Chunfeng many times. The other party still remembered that Zhou Chunfeng was once a small soldier under his command who was begging for a living. He admired him very much at the time, but he turned out to be a traitor to the Huai King's army.
"Zhou Chunfeng!" General Huai loudly called out the names of the people under the city wall.
However, following the words of the Huaiwang general, Zhou Laosan, who was also held hostage on the city wall, was stunned for a while and looked down.
Before, he felt that the person looked familiar, but he never dared to imagine that the person was actually Zhou Chunfeng.
How can it be!
If Zhou Chunfeng had not been conscripted by the imperial court, he should have been serving Wang Jun and been slaughtered like a leek long ago.
How did he end up in the rebel army and become a general?
Is this still the Zhou Chunfeng he knew before?
He thought that he had fled to Yangzhou City with his wife and children based on his memories of his previous life because he knew that although Yangzhou City had fallen into the hands of Prince Huai, the Prince Huai's army had changed its previous brutality and spared the people in the city.
As long as they live peacefully in the city for a few years, they can make plans when the world is pacified.
"Zhou Chunfeng, you have fought against our Huai Army many times, but today, do you dare to fight?"
Xiao Chao was almost amused by the people on the city wall: "Hey~, I have such a bad temper, Lao Zhou, you are not really going soft, are you?"
If Yangzhou City cannot be captured, the strategy of attacking Jinling City cannot be carried out.
Zhou Chunfeng held his breath, glanced at the people beside him, and looked up at the generals of King Huai on the city wall. He was calm and seemed to have a hint of playfulness in his expression.
Zhou Chunfeng's silence gradually made the people on the city wall notice something was wrong.
"Zhou Chunfeng, don't even think about taking Yangzhou City—ah!" As soon as the Huai Wang general finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his neck. He covered his neck in disbelief and gasped in shock.
Only then did Xiao Chao notice that under the tiles of the city wall, Ming Yi and other guards were descending from above like nimble black swallows.
The Huai Wang general was hit by a dart on the back of his neck. When he turned around, he was caught off guard and his neck was cut off in front of him.
"what!!!"
All of a sudden, the Huai Army soldiers on the city wall who were preparing for battle reacted. Even though there were many Huai Army soldiers on the city wall, they were no match for Ming Yi and his men on the narrow city wall.
The guards acted separately, rescuing the hostages in front while fighting with the Huai Army that continued to pour onto the city walls.
The sounds of killing, wailing, and fighting that came to their ears scared the hostages so much that their faces turned pale and they all huddled together and squatted on the ground. Only Zhou Laosan was so scared that he stood frozen in place.
When Xiao Chao saw the scene on the city wall, he had nothing to understand, so he said that since Lao Zhou was so patient, he must have a trick up his sleeve.
"Haha~, let's go and kill them!"
Zhou Chunfeng curled his lips slightly, proudly drew the long sword from his waist, and said with great momentum: "Attack the city!"
At his command, the rebels rushed towards the city gate like a flood, and the shouts of killing resounded through the sky, making it difficult to look directly at them.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhou Laosan would never have believed that the person being supported by the soldiers under the city wall was Zhou Chunfeng.
Bang, bang, bang!
The wooden stakes quickly broke through the city gate, and the Huai Army in the city had to rush out to fight.
"kill!"
However, no matter how many Huai troops emerged from the city, they were no match for the insurgents, who were at the peak of their powers.
It seemed that in an instant, the Huai Army in the city was overthrown, and the flags hanging high on the city walls were quickly replaced with the flags of the rebel army!
