Zhao Ming had just lie down and not slept for a long time when he was woken up by Li Zhongming to prepare food for the army.

After Wu Zhaosheng, the Qing army opened its doors to the west, and the Ming army had to take this opportunity. Before the Qing army could react, they quickly headed north and took down Changhua, Huanghua Pass, and Tianmu Mountain.

Zhao Ming didn't sleep much all night, and got up and helped him with work. Suddenly, Ruan Mei's voice came from outside, "Big Man Zhao, come out to help."

When Zhao Ming went out, he saw Taizhou soldiers in the camp were packing the tent. A group of soldiers who had packed their luggage hurriedly finished their breakfast. Each of them brought a few rice balls and lined out of the camp and headed out of the northwest.

In Xincheng County, Wu Zhaosheng's men rushed out of the city gate, and Ma Shiying's soldiers also set out to advance north.

It turned out that Wu Zhaosheng's news leaked. Tu Guobao, the chief general of the Qing army's western front, sent troops south to suppress the rebellion. The troops had already arrived at Yu Qian and fought fiercely with a group of Wu Zhaosheng's troops. The Wu soldiers could not withstand the Qing army, so Zhang Mingzhen had to drive north to fight Tu Guobao.

When Ruan Mei saw Zhao Ming, she hurriedly said, "Hurry up and help me load the grain into the truck!"

Zhao Ming and the civilians put the food, pickles, beans, hay, and various military supplies eaten by the soldiers on a mule cart.

The baggage of the five thousand army was loaded with more than 100 large carts, and the soldiers were all set out in advance. Ruan Mei led a department of more than 300 soldiers, as well as the Huotou Army and the civilians escorted them together.

"The general has an order, and the baggage will be set off immediately, and no mistakes must be made." Suddenly, a chess and card officer came on a horse and conveyed military orders to Ruan Mei.

Ruan Mei nodded, then gathered the soldiers, the fire-headed army, and the civilians together.

As the army took the lead in the camp, the camp was empty, five or six hundred people gathered together, mules and horses stood quietly, snorting from time to time, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Ruan Mei stood in a big cart, and gave a speech to everyone at the top of her voice. She didn't tell her any level. She only emphasized that the baggage should be transported to Yuqian County on schedule, and then summarized loudly, "Everyone has heard the storytelling storytelling, but it will not come to a loss of time, and it will miss the opportunity to fight. Everyone knows the principles of military law. I won't say much. Brothers work harder and transport the baggage to the front. When the commander defeats the Qing army, I ask the commander to give everyone a good meal."

"Abide by the order!" More than 300 soldiers agreed, while the fire-headed soldiers and the civilians giggled.

Ruan Mei waved her hand and said, "Go!"

The officer immediately commanded the civilians to board the cart, waved their whips, and drove the mule cart. The soldiers guarded both sides, and the baggage team rushed to the northwest.

The baggage team walked against Gexi and towards Yu Qian. Because the front line was ahead, nearly 10,000 officials had just rushed towards Yu Qian, so the journey was calm.

As night falls, the stars are shining. In the golden autumn season, the weather is cool. Zhao Ming sat in the cart, but he did not want to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the autumn night, but instead thought about the conversation with Ma Shiying last night absent-mindedly.

Zhao Ming used to be a smart person, otherwise he would not have been able to move bricks. Recently, he seems to have done a lot of things, but he is just a hammer and a stick, without any rules or clues.

Zhao Ming lay in the car, looking at the stars in the sky, thinking, "Although I saved Jiangyin City and the people of Jiading, I also proposed to establish the Tiandihui and the Earth Society and instigated Li Chengdong in advance. It seemed that I had done a lot of things, but I had no power for a long time. Ma Shiying asked me to surrender to the King of Lu or Emperor Longwu. King of Lu is in eastern Zhejiang and is located on the front line of the anti-Qing Dynasty. Resigning to the King of Lu will undoubtedly be more convenient to resist the Qing Dynasty. However, King of Lu is just a state-controlled country, not an emperor, and with the power of King of Lu, it is difficult to fight against the Qing army. I have saved Longwu's life. He is now orthodox, and this person does have hope of fighting against the Qing army."

Zhao Ming sat up from the car and sighed in his heart, "The best situation is that King Lu obeys Emperor Longwu, but this is basically impossible. Now King Lu attacks Yuhang again, and his reputation is greatly enhanced, and he is afraid that it will intensify the dispute between Tang and Lu. This country's regent, one emperor, is good enough, but two of them appear together, and the fate of the Ming Dynasty is really not good."

Zhao Ming thought for a while, "It's really hard to choose between the two, but the biggest problem at this time of the Ming Dynasty should be that the imperial power is weak, the central government loses its control over the local area, the warlords are everywhere, and a unified center is lost. In this way, helping the King of Lu can only aggravate the division, and I have nothing to do with the King of Lu, but only a small soldier under Zhang Mingzhen. There is not only Zheng Sen, but also the people on Zhoushan Island on Longwu, and his uncle Yang Wencong is also in Fujian. The most important thing is that I have saved Longwu's life. With these relationships, if I defect to Longwu, I will be able to promote it in an extraordinary way. In this way, if I have a status, I can recruit soldiers and horses, and use Ma Shiying's two thousand soldiers as the foundation, and then ask Zheng Sen to borrow some money and grain to open up the situation."

Sitting in the cart, Zhao Ming frowned and thought for a long time, and finally had a plan in his mind.

Since he decided to surrender to Longwu, Zhao Ming would be a fire-headed army with peace of mind and was not prepared to reveal his identity to Zhang Mingzhen. However, even if he wanted to show it now, he would not be able to see Zhang Mingzhen.

"When I arrived at Yu Qian, I went to Huzhou to ask Wu Yi for money and food!" Zhao Ming was lying in the car. Although he was very sleepy, he just couldn't sleep.

Next to him, Li Zhongming snored. Last night, he thought Zhao Ming was going to be a deserter, and was worried that he would be implicated and did not sleep all night.

At the third update, the baggage team was driving torches and continued to rush forward. The civilians and soldiers were both motivated to cheer and continued to drive the car.

The baggage team advanced along the banks of Geshui, and the surrounding mountains and forests were silent, with occasional sounds of one or two night owls.

Suddenly, Zhao Ming heard a strange sound. Li Zhongming, who was sleeping beside him, suddenly widened his eyes and rolled down the car. At the same time, he kicked Zhao Ming out of the mule cart and shouted, "There is an ambush!"

"Swoosh swish swish swish~" A sound of arrows breaking through the air came, and countless rockets came overwhelmed, instantly filled with mule carts. The soldiers and civilians on them, the soldiers guarding on both sides, were immediately shot by the rockets, and the howlings were connected.

The mule and horse were shot by rockets, and the mule cart was pulled on fire and the road was suddenly in chaos.

Zhao Ming rolled to the side of the road and saw the big cart he had just been riding on fire. The baggage team was caught off guard by the sudden attack. Seeing that the momentum was not good, Ruan Mei flipped off the mule cart, rolled and jumped into the Geshui.

Although Wang Dana was fat, he was quick to move. He was buzzing and ran very fast, and jumped into the river.

In the mountains and forests on the side of the baggage team, ambush rockets fired volleys, and the sound of bird guns "bang bang bang bang" sounded, and I don't know how many people were.

Zhao Ming rolled to a mule cart or two, and a soldier was shot and fell beside him. He hurriedly picked up the soldier's bird gun and loaded it in a hurry. Just as he was about to fire the gun, Li Zhongming suddenly appeared, "Big man, don't you run away yet."

Escape was not Zhao Ming's style. He fired a shot and asked loudly, "What should I do with the baggage?"

Li Zhongming pulled him up and left, "I'm gone, so why bother with the baggage? Go away quickly."

Seeing this, Zhao Ming was angry and followed Li Zhongming to the river and plunged into the river.

Everyone jumped into the river and then had a wave of dog paddles. They barely swam ashore. When they turned their heads and looked at the other side, nearly a thousand torches rushed to the riverside all over the mountains.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming couldn't help but say in an atmosphere: "My mother, suddenly a group of people came out to cut off the grain! These Qing generals have indeed seen the Three Kingdoms."
