Chapter 146 Life is a process of constant choice
Zhang Song's face turned red when the fireheaded soldier said it. When he lowered his head, he took soap to wash his hands and face.
After washing his hands with ten fingers, he looked the same as the carrot. He finally wiped them with white snow, and then he took his food box to the Huotou Bing.
The buns are as delicious as ever...
However, Zhang Song looked at his companion who was also greedy, but an unknown anger arose in his heart. He kicked one of his companions away, found the driest place to sit down, and ate the buns angrily.
The kicked companion accompanied Zhang Song, the team leader, with a humble smile, and moved aside.
"This is why I was laughed at by the Fire Head Soldier."
Zhang Song sighed, picked up another bun and took it hard.
At this time, the sky ridge was covered with snow, and on the right was the undulating sea. There were only a few seagulls flying on the sea that were not afraid of the cold on the vast sea. The sky was gloomy and it seemed that it was going to snow again.
I asked for a bowl of hot water from the Huotou soldiers, and Zhang Song carefully came to the Huotou soldiers and said, "Brother, I heard that your family is very rich, why are you still here to hang out with these military pay?"
The HuoTou Soldier sneered and said, "Just because I am fighting outside, the family can farm and work and do business with peace of mind. Who is the fucking thinking about getting involved in His Majesty's military pay? Look, even if there is no military pay, I will still treat this big-headed soldier with great pleasure."
Zhang Song shook his head and said, "When Li Hongji came, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty threw the silver on the street and recruited warriors. Unfortunately, the silver was hot at that time, and I wanted to go, but my family would not let it go.
Brother, to be honest, this world is the world of the emperor. What does it have to do with us little people?"
The HuoTou Soldier laughed angrily by Zhang Song's words, glanced at Zhang Song and said, "Everyone said that you people from Shuntian Mansion are smart, so they all have such a smart way.
I heard that Li Hongji could not enter the city at first, but you guys opened the city gate and welcomed Li Hongji in. It is said that the scene was very lively at that time. They were offering wine and food. I heard that there were bitches who were scattering flowers from the second floor.
To be honest, what do you think?
If Li Hongji wants to enter our Chang'an, what will happen? Apart from swords, guns, arrows, cannons, and muskets, we Guanzhong people have nothing else to entertain.
I'll ask you, what will happen to the rich people who offered wine and meat? What will happen to the bitches who sprinkle flowers on the thieves?
Hehehe, little clever can't get on the big table."
Zhang Song stammered his neck and said, "The government has opened three of the nine gates in the capital. They don't even hit Li Hongji. How do you let us ordinary people fight?"
The fire-headed soldier filled the tobacco leaves into the cigarette pot, used a scythe to set off the fire, and whispered: "Since that's the case, you are suffering from Li Hongji, how can you get so much resentment?
The entire capital is like a place where people were buried, and everyone is holding their faces, as if our Lantian owes you five hundred taels of silver.
Since you dared to let Li Hongji enter the city, don’t regret being troubled by others.
I look down on people like you the most."
Zhang Song was speechless when he was scolded, so he had to sigh and said, "Who could have thought that Li Hongji would harm the capital like this?"
The fire-headed soldier laughed and said, "I used to be a bandit, but now I will tell you a truth. The bandit is a bandit. My duty is to rob. It is delusion to expect the wolf not to eat meat.
In order to transform our group of people, our Majesty doesn't want any old bandit in the new army. Even if there are, he can only serve as an auxiliary army. This is the fire-headed soldier. Only in this way can our army be disciplined.
Those guys who have not been transformed are still fucking unchanged until now.”
Zhang Song was thinking about it and wanted to ask more about the Lantian Army, but the Huotou Army carried the empty basket back.
Several rafts suddenly appeared on the sea surface, and the rafts were filled with people. They tried their best to paddle to the sea, and disappeared at sea level in a short while. I don’t know if they were swallowed by the winter waves or escaped from the sky.
Zhang Song believed that these people had little chance of escaping. Just ten days ago, some iron-hulled ships appeared on the sea. These ships were very huge and transported a lot of supplies to the garrisons here in Motianling.
The pork vermicelli I ate today was sent by these boats.
Those bandits want to escape from the sea, probably have no chance.
The next day at dawn, when Zhang Song brought his team into the position again, some black bandits emerged from the forest in the distance, and two women were walking in front of these bandits.
Just as Zhang Song prepared his musket and started his day's work, a team of cavalry suddenly rushed out of the woods. They waved their swords and easily killed the bandits one by one to the ground.
Seeing that the cavalry was about to chase the two women, Zhang Song stood up from the trench in a hurry, raised his gun, and immediately fired the gun, regardless of whether he could shoot. Seeing this, his subordinates also fired one after another, and the gunshots echoed in the empty mountains and forests.
The cavalrymen in black cloaks turned their horses, gave up and continued to pursue the two women, and retracted back into the woods.
"Guanning Iron Cavalry."
Zhang Song, who had emptied his gun, looked at the last cavalry that had penetrated into the woods and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Li Dingguo leaned against a huge chair covered with tiger skin and was drinking sips away. The stove beside him was burning. Zhang Guofeng stood in front of a table and kept sitting with a pencil on it.
A scout in a sheepskin coat hurried in and said to Zhang Guofeng: "General, Guanning Iron Cavalry has appeared, chased a small group of defecting bandits, and then retreated."
Zhang Guofeng said: "How powerful is the Guanning Iron Cavalry?"
The scout said: "They are strong and do not seem to be affected by the blockade."
Zhang Guofeng said to Li Dingguo Highway who was leaning in the chair and napping: "It seems that Wu Sangui and Li Hongji's army logistics are not mixed together. How long can they last in this situation?"
Li Dingguo opened his eyes lazily and looked at Zhang Guofeng and said, "Since he has begun to hunt down the defected bandits, it means that Wu Sangui's patience with Li Hongji has reached its limit.
Next, he will have two choices. One is to take out his own food and share it with Li Hongji. I think this may not be basically the case. So, there is only the second choice, and they are ready to part ways.
There are two choices when we go our separate ways. One is to simply separate from Li Hongji, and the other is to defect to Jiannu.
