The end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 29 Scholar Chen Liu

It is said that Chen Liu rode on the horse and grasped the reins tightly with both hands. His body was similar to lying on the back of the horse, which was very inconsistent with the way he talked and laughed just now. Moreover, he rode slowly on the horse, and he didn't even walk fast. Seeing that the army in front of him was going further and further, Chen Liu did not dare to run fast.

Wang Shitou next to him shouted, "What's wrong with you? I can't even ride a horse for you. It's really useless. It's a scholar. I'll help you." After saying that, Wang Shitou picked up the whip and hit Chen Liu's horse fiercely. The horse was whipped and immediately hissed. Then he kicked his back and began to run forward.

Chen Liu, who was sitting on the horse's back, suddenly looked pale with shock, and the beads of sweat on his forehead flowed down. His hands grasped the reins on the horse tightly and did not dare to relax at all, but even so, Chen Liu was stunned and did not shout out because of fear.

This makes Wang Shitou next to him admire him a little.

Chen Liu used to be a scholar, and his family was so poor. Of course, he would not come into contact with a war horse, so it was normal not to ride a horse. Even if he became a slave of the Zhao family later, he would not ride a horse. Usually, he rode a small donkey far away and did not ride a horse at all.

This is Chen Liu's first time to ride a horse. In the process of running, he did not fall off the horse, which is already good.

At this time, Wang Shitou quickly caught up and shouted to Chen Liu, "Hahahaha, that's good. I didn't fall down, which makes me admire it." Wang Shishi has no malice, but he shows his likes and dislikes in his heart. Obviously, if he looks down on you, he will tell you directly, and if he admires you, he will tell you directly.

Chen Liu smiled awkwardly, turned his head, tried to make his body close to the horse's back, raised it a little, and said to Wang Shitou, "Let the general laugh. I don't know what this general is called!"

"Me? My name is Wang Shitou. I am the captain of our general's personal guard. All the guards have to let me watch." Wang Shitou opened his mouth and smiled.

When Chen Liu heard this, he said, "You are Captain Wang. You have been looking forward to the name for a long time. Now the general has four battalions and one team. Although Captain Wang, you are only a captain, your status is not lower than that of the four battalion commanders, or even higher than them. The general trusts you very much!"

After listening to this, Wang Shitou became even more happy and began to talk about Chen Liu. Slowly, Wang Shitou didn't know that he and Chen Liu, a weak scholar he had been looking down on before, gradually became a good friend.

......

"Stone, now the general should wait for us for some time. I think we'd better go to see the general quickly!" Chen Liu on one side saw that the time was almost time, so he quickly said to Wang Shitou. Just now, he went through some words to make Wang Shitou's relationship with himself closer and closer, which made him feel that the time was almost time to meet the general.

When Wang Shitou heard it, he said, "Ah!" With a sound, he patted his forehead and said anxiously, "Bail. Just now, the general asked me to take your brother Chen there as soon as possible. I just cared about talking to Brother Chen and forgot it. What should I do?"

Chen Liu smiled and said to Wang Stone, "You don't have to worry about Stone. I'll talk to the general later."

"Haha, thank you, Brother Chen. Let's go!"

Outside Zhaojiabao,

Yu Mingjun was very happy to see that thousands of pieces of grain had been distributed to those land farmers and the drifters. Of course, there were also many land farmers who were a little scared. However, under Yu Mingjun's explanation, he told them that the Zhao family had been removed by their general. They could safely cultivate the land that was already cultivated now, and then Yu Mingjun He also sent down the Tian Deeds of the Zhao family, so that these tenant farmers would no longer work for these large families and let themselves have a good life.

"Big brother, it's been two hours now. It's time for us to leave." Xiaoyang ran to look at Yu Mingjun, who was smiling at those petty farmers and said softly.

Yu Mingjun looked back and said, "Is it time? Well, it's time to let go of the servants of the Zhao family in the yard, and then let's get on the horse and meet the general. You pass the order and gather!"

"Yes, big brother... No, battalion commander, the small one will pass the order." Listening to Yu Mingjun's order, Xiao Yang changed his usual harmonious style with Yu Mingjun, and his face became serious. He no longer called Yu Mingjun as the eldest brother, but the battalion commander, which is also required by Yu Mingjun. In private, he is Xiaoyang's eldest brother, when there is an order, he is the battalion commander.

Xiaoyang took Yu Mingjun's order, hurriedly rode around, and then shouted, "Assemble, all together."

"Collection!!!"

"Stepping..."

"Berion commander, we have released all the family of the Zhao family!"

"Okay, go back and stand in line"

"Get on the horse, let's go!"

"The adults walk slowly, the adults walk slowly..." At this time, the peasants and the exiles who received the grain did not go far. When they were still there, they saw that Yu Mingjun was about to leave, they quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yu Mingjun and others.

After all, in this man-eating society, if an official can open a warehouse and release food, the people will already like him very much.

"General, general, we want to be a soldier. We want to be a soldier. Please accept us and accept us!" At this time, seven or eight young people suddenly ran out of some of the exiles. These people were not strong. Those who were hungry were full of skin and bones. However, if they could eat for a period of time, they would definitely grow big and round.

Although they were weak, they still kept running to Yu Mingjun's team. You should know that Yu Mingjun's team was riding horses. The speed can be imagined. Of course, these people could not catch up, but they did not give up and shouted to Yu Mingjun while running.

Yu Mingjun ran for a while and watched them keep running. Some of them were already pale, and some were so tired that they lay on the ground, but they continued to crawl on the ground.

Yu Mingjun was a little moved by this perseverance, but he did not get Liu Xia's order. He had never heard Liu Xia say that he wanted to collect the exiles, and he didn't know whether he would accept them.

"Bailor, these are all men. I think the battalion commander will take them. Otherwise, I think they will continue to follow. What's more, there are a little less people in our army, and it's time to expand." A soldier from a scout brigade beside Yu Mingjun said to Yu Mingjun.

The other soldiers of the scout brigade also looked at these young people with admiration. After all, there are not many people who want to run with four legs and have been sticking to it, which is enough to show that they are men.

Yu Mingjun hesitated, and then rode his horse forward and asked one of the young people who could still stand, "Why did you join the army?"

The young man who was constantly gasping at this time, his face was a little white and there was no meat all over his body, just like skin and bones. He raised his head and took a deep breath and said to Yu Mingjun, "General, I don't have any idea. I just need a mouthful of food and be able to fight with the general. "

Yu Mingjun was not dissatisfied because the young man did not say it and went to participate for the country and national justice. On the contrary, after listening to this young man's answer, Yu Mingjun appreciates it more. In this world, he doesn't have enough food to eat, and he doesn't talk about defending his family and country. He is starving to death. What ambition is there? This is the most real idea of the contemporary people, because he came from this time when he met Mingjun himself.

The young man looked up with some fear and secretly looked at Yu Mingjun. He wanted to see how Yu Mingjun would react when he heard his words. He was very uneasy and afraid that he would offend the general in bright iron armor because of his words.

Yu Mingjun sighed and said to the eight men, "You are all good. I will accept you. As for whether you can stay, it also depends on the general's intention. Our general is the heroic and invincible general who beat down Zhao Jiabao and then gives you food!"

"You eight, take the eight of them to your own horses. Let's go quickly!"

............

"Chen Liu met the general" Chen Liu came to Liu Xia's side and said to Liu Xia.

At this time, Liu Xia is not alone. After all, Bian Yujing can't ride a horse, and Liu Xia is not worried about letting her ride a horse by herself. Now they still ride one. Seeing Chen Liu's coming, Liu Xia said to a personal guard behind her, "Go on to the order, and the army will stop moving forward and rest for a while."

"Yes"

After Liu Xia finished speaking, he got off the horse, picked up Bian Yujing from the horse at the same time, and then led Chen Liu to an open space beside him.

Liu Xia said, "I remember you are a scholar, right?"

Chen Liu replied, "The general remembers that he is indeed a scholar. Chongzhen has been a scholar for 14 years."

"Why have you been following my army?"

"General, I'm homeless now. I see that the general is also a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. I definitely can't let the people starve, so I followed him up."

Liu Xia didn't expect Chen Liu to answer like this. Originally, there were several kinds of Chen Liu's answers in Liu's heart, but she didn't expect him to say such a sentence, so she asked, "From you helped us enter Zhaojiabao, I can see that you are not an ordinary scholar. I don't know where you will go in the future? "

Chen Liu replied unhurriedly, "I have read the book of sages and have been domestic slaves. Now the general's gang killed the enemy. Naturally, this skin belongs to the general, just to see if the general is willing to stay."

Liu Xia laughed a few times and then said, "Well, you can write for me first!"

Chen Liu hurriedly said to Liu Xia, "I will live up to the general's expectations!"
