Chapter 708 Ready to go (please subscribe!)
………………

Because today is the day when Zhang Twelve sent troops to the north, this can be regarded as a big event for the Zhang family.

Therefore, not only Zhang Twelve's women, but also the servants in the mansion, Zhang Guogong and the old lady also got up early.

Zhang Twelve didn't need to worry about the things he was going to take on the road this time. His women had already packed them up in advance, and handed over the burden to Lu San who was going to go with him.

In fact, going north this time, there are difficulties, and there may be many dangers, but in Zhang Twelve's view, it is for ordinary people, but in his eyes, this time going north is not difficult at all, it is extremely easy!

So not only did he not want to bring these women, for fear of becoming a burden to him, he also didn't want to bring other servants or people who were close to him, so as to save himself from being distracted and unsafe.

So when Lu Yuner and Zhang Tangwen mentioned it, they were all rejected by Zhang Twelve.

As for Lu San, he has been with Zhang Twelve since he came out of Liangzhou. Whether he went to Taizhou, Jingzhou, or went south to Dianyang, Quzhou and now Jinling, he always accompanied Zhang Twelve.

Following Zhang Twelve, he was never afraid, but he was not by Zhang Twelve's side when Zhang Twelve had an accident last time, which made him blame himself very much.

So when Zhang Twelve set off this time, Lu San had to follow whatever he said.

At first, Zhang Twelve naturally refused, but a few women disagreed, saying that you would not take us, but Lu San had to take us with him, right?
After all, Lu San is a servant, and he is very good at serving people. This time, he went to Jingzhou and trekked all the way. I am afraid that there will be many days of eating and sleeping in the open. With a servant like Lu San beside Zhang Twelve, the women You can also rest assured.

In the end, Zhang Guogong also came forward and said that Zhang Twelve would take Lu San with him. Zhang Twelve had no choice but to agree, but he secretly swore in his heart that he must be more careful this time when he went north. Those who go north with him can return safely!
Because behind them is the same as themselves, with relatives, lovers, and many people who are eagerly waiting for their triumphant return!

Because Zhang Twelve was about to leave after breakfast, this breakfast was prepared quite richly, but everyone was obviously not focused on eating. During the meal, they talked to each other, especially those female 3s who were still last night. Zhang Twelve was almost tired of hearing what he told Zhang Twelve on the bed.

But at this time, he didn't dare to say more, he just nodded.

He can still understand the feelings of the women at the moment.

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

After eating, Zhang Twelve came out of the door surrounded by a group of people reluctantly.

And outside the door, there are already a thousand officers and soldiers sitting on the horses, ready to go!

Because Zhang Twelve was planning a quick battle this time, he felt that the siege of the city would not be too difficult for him, and the only time delay might be the long distance from Jinling to Jingzhou.

That's why he equipped every officer and soldier with horses, because it was a long journey, not far away. If these officers and soldiers were allowed to walk again, they might not be able to reach Jingzhou in a while, and it was a waste of time!

However, among the officers and soldiers in Jinling City, there are still a small number of cavalry.

Because the city walls of Jinling were relatively solid, there was no war in Jinling, and there was no need to send troops out to fight, so there were not many cavalry in the city, only infantry were needed, and it was enough to deal with the task of defending the city at critical moments.

Therefore, it is not easy to gather a thousand war horses. There are only one or two hundred cavalry in the Jinling Guard General's Mansion, and there are only one or two hundred war horses. Fantastic effort!
Lu Sanpi went to many escort shops or martial arts fields in Jinling City, and went to many surrounding villages, thinking that he could find one more horse. Fortunately, everyone knew that Zhang Twelve was going north to crusade against Jingzhou. This is also very supported.

I heard that Zhang Twelve needed war horses to go north, so without a word, they all sent out their own horses, and Lu Sanpi wanted to pay them money according to Zhang Twelve's statement. Bobei went up for us common people, if he wants his money again, what will we do?

When Lu Sanpi heard it, he was also very emotional. It seems that Zhang Twelve really has the will of the people, and he just waits for him to win and return in triumph!

In less than two days, a thousand horses were ready.

In fact, it cannot be said that all of the thousand horses are war horses. The proportion of war horses in the middle is only one or two hundred horses from the general's mansion, and more of them are horses used as foot power in ordinary people's homes.

This kind is still good, what's more, what's more, the riders are not horses, but donkeys and mules!
Because when I went to the countryside to collect horses, although the common people tried their best to cooperate, a thousand horses was indeed not a small amount, and the common people's families were not rich, so few people would raise horses.

On the contrary, donkeys and mules are relatively common in farmers’ homes. After all, donkeys and mules can not only be used as legs, pull carts and transport goods, but also can do a lot of farm work in the usual fields, and donkeys and mules can also be competent!

Therefore, of the thousand officers and soldiers led by Zhang Twelve, one or two hundred rode real war horses, three or four hundred rode ordinary horses collected from the people, and the rest rode donkeys and horses. Mules, from a distance, the regular army has become like a motley army!
But Zhang Twelve didn't care about this, because he let everyone ride their mounts to travel instead of fighting, so the difference between mules, donkeys and war horses is not too big, as long as they don't delay walking!

"Uncle Zhang!"

As soon as Zhang Twelve went out, the officers and soldiers saw that they all jumped off their horses. They all looked at Zhang Twelve and shouted loudly in unison.

Outside Zhang's house, many people had already come here. They heard that Zhang Twelve led his troops to go north early this morning, and they all ran here spontaneously to see him off.

Hearing the shouts of the officers and soldiers, these people seemed to be infected, and they also shouted at the same time!

"Uncle Zhang!"

"Uncle Zhang!!"

The sound shook the sky and circled around.

Seeing this scene, not to mention the Zhang family, even Zhang Twelve himself was a little moved by the battle.

It seems that if a person wants to win the support of the whole world, he must sincerely serve the people and do practical things for the people!
And those who just talk about it, but in fact not only do not serve the people, but also search for the people's fat and anointment every day, will not get the support of the people in the end!

If someone regards ordinary people as fools, then he is a real fool!
Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Zhang Twelve understands this truth, but Tang Yizhi probably doesn't understand it very well!
If Tang Yizhi could cherish the people after taking office, he wouldn't have accumulated so much public anger!

Feeling moved, Zhang Twelve stretched out his hand and pressed down, motioning for everyone to calm down.

More than 1000 officers and soldiers and the surrounding people saw Zhang Twelve's hand gesture, and then they calmed down. They stared at Zhang Twelve with burning eyes, wanting to hear what Zhang Twelve would say next.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Zhang Twelve said slowly: "First of all, thank you for coming to practice for Zhang! I think everyone is as eager as I am. I wish I could go to Jingzhou now and kill Tang Yizhi with my hands. Revenge for the first emperor, revenge for King Xiang, and revenge for those brothers and sisters who were persecuted to death by Tang Yizhi! Everyone said, is it right?"

"Yes!"

As soon as Zhang Twelve finished speaking, fierce echoes broke out among the people.

Seeing everyone's blushing faces, Zhang Twelve pressed his hands down, and then continued: "But Zhang, please rest assured that this trip to the north will only succeed, not fail! Everyone knows why ?"

"…………"

Zhang Twelve's words were confident and domineering, and the common people and officers and soldiers were undoubtedly excited. However, they still didn't know why Zhang Twelve was so confident.

In fact, they believe in Zhang Twelve. Many people worship Zhang Twelve blindly. They don't really know much about Zhang Twelve. , they don't really know much about it.

Therefore, although some people particularly support Zhang Twelve's approach of going north, they are still a little worried. This way north, let alone Jingzhou, even the few cities along the way are enough for Zhang Twelve and the others to look at—he only brought 1000 yuan. A team of people, and looking at the mounts under the crotch, it is undoubtedly more like a motley army. Is such an army really capable of fighting?
Moreover, there are more than [-] officers and soldiers defending the city. Even if Zhang Twelve and the others don't need to attack the city, but just fight each other directly, everyone must have the combat effectiveness of one against ten!

So when they heard Zhang Twelve's question, they all raised their heads, and they really wanted to hear why Zhang Twelve was so confident!

Zhang Twelve looked at everyone's eyes full of hope, and then smiled and said slowly: "Because justice must win! And I, we, justice!"

"Justice wins!!!"

After Zhang Twelve finished speaking, everyone was stunned for about a few seconds. Who knew who was the first to react and took the lead, and then yelled out. The others, not to be outdone, immediately followed suit!

"Justice shall prevail!"

This sentence made their blood boil suddenly, they are justice, how can they be invincible?
………………

The atmosphere was almost exaggerated, and Zhang Twelve knew it was time to leave.

Looking back at Lu San, Lu San understood, and walked over leading a horse.

The overall coat color of this horse is yellow, and the whole body is thin, but the muscles are clearly visible, and it is a good horse at a glance!
This horse is called Huang Puma, and it is indeed not an ordinary person. Although this horse is thin, it is full of strength, and its legs are particularly good. It is especially suitable for marching and fighting. It is said to be able to travel hundreds of miles a day!
There is no such a good horse in Jinling City. This horse was Mo Li when he went south from Jingzhou. Duke Mo was worried that his daughter would have to travel through mountains and rivers, so he chose such a good horse for Mo Li to ride. .

And Mo Li was able to go all the way south, finally arrived at Yunxi in the Yue Kingdom, and found Zhang Twelve. This yellow pussy did make a lot of contributions!

As for Huang Piao, Lu San had already made preparations, put on the saddle, hung up the stirrups, put on the luan bell on the horse, and everything was ready.

Zhang Twelve talked for a while next to Zhang Guogong and the old lady, and then bid farewell to the six women. He didn't feel it before, but now he suddenly felt a little sad.

After finishing his work, he got on his horse, stepped on the stirrup, and shouted loudly, "Let's go!"

"Set off!!!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Twelve's yellow pussy horse was the first to bear the brunt and rushed out, while other officers and soldiers also rode their mounts and followed Zhang Twelve towards the city gate.

Seeing her grandson driving away on horseback, the old lady couldn't help crying.

Seeing this, the other women added a lot of sadness, with tears in their eyes, bit their lips lightly, unable to say anything, they all went forward to persuade the old lady.

Amorous feelings have hurt parting since ancient times, probably like this!
