In Ansai County, almost the same drama as Pingyang Mansion is being staged.
The difference is that the great drama in Ansai County happened two days earlier than the great drama in Pingyang Mansion, and those who were besieging the isolated city were not the common people and officers and soldiers of the imperial court, but more than a hundred bandits.
When Li Zicheng and Yanran entered the city, the flags on the city top were still waving, but in Ansai City, not even a mouse could be seen, let alone a human.
However, it seems normal to see no rats in the city today. After this year's disaster, almost all the edible living animals have been eaten by people. Rats, no matter how strong their reproductive ability, are.
I saw their shadows after spring started and the weather warmed up.
And after just one night in Ansai City, an urgent military order from Yan'an Prefecture was delivered to Li Zicheng. The next day, Li Zicheng's 4,000th household left two hundred households in Ansai City.
Here, he took four hundred households, more than two thousand people and horses, and headed directly for Pingyang Mansion.
"We found traces of guys like Gao Yingxiang!"
On the march, Yanran seemed to be a little too excited, which made Li Zicheng a little puzzled. He was going to fight, so why did this girl Yanran feel like she was going for a sightseeing tour?
"They have fled into Shanxi and are doing evil in Pingyang Prefecture. I have been ordered from above to rush to Pingyang Prefecture immediately!"
"Where are Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong!" Yanran's eyes flashed: "Have they started to flee?"
"You seem to be very happy?" Li Zicheng frowned: "These guys are pretending to surrender, but secretly they are packing up their belongings and trying to escape. Are they thinking that I, Li Zicheng, am a three-year-old child?"
He said with an evil look on his face: "I have to let them see what the consequences will be if they tease the officers and soldiers!"
Yan Ran deeply believed that it was natural for officers and soldiers to kill thieves. What Li Zicheng said made sense. However, what made her more excited was that Li Zicheng said that this military order was issued directly from Shanxi by Commander Jiang Wan. This meant that,
If she had not returned to Xu Caining, she would have almost 100% contact with Jiang Wan this time.
She is full of curiosity about this man!
They traveled day and night, and the three-day journey was completed in almost two days. Along the way, this team also saw many traces left by the bandits, and even saw a large number of fleeing people, and they headed toward
moving in the same direction.
However, the team's speed did not slow down. The military order Li Zicheng received was to "rush to full strength", so nothing on the road could slow down the team's pace.
When the tall city wall in Pingyang Mansion appeared in Li Zicheng's eyes, Li Zicheng saw the Ming Dynasty flag still waving on the city head, and he felt relieved.
We finally arrived in time, although it seemed that Gao Yingxiang’s troops were not seen around Pingyang Mansion?
The people in the city quickly discovered this troop. Thank God, after more than half a year, although the troops of the 4000th Household were still poorly equipped and their combat power was still uneven, the uniforms and banners were finally unified.
If they were not all in uniform, I am afraid that when the Pingyang Mansion saw this chaotic group of people approaching, the first reaction was not to send people to contact them, but to close the door as a warning and prepare for the defense of the whole city.
Half an hour later, after his identity was verified, Li Zicheng finally entered Pingyang Mansion with Yanran and several personal guards. Of course, the two guards assigned to Yanran by Xu Caining also entered the city with them.
"My lord, I will finally join you!"
As if he wanted everyone in the city to hear it, Li Zicheng saw Jiang Wan standing far away at the door of the residence and loudly reported: "Li Zicheng from the 4000th household led more than 2,000 troops from his headquarters to rush to the aid of Pingyang Mansion.
, the entire army has arrived outside the city and is ready to fight for you at any time!"
"Why are you here!" Jiang Wan smiled slightly, "It's been a hard journey!"
"It's not hard work!" Li Zicheng chuckled and said, "My subordinates were shocked when I heard that your Excellency was here in Pingyang Mansion. I also heard that there were bandits everywhere outside the city of Pingyang Mansion a few days ago?"
"I don't want to either!" Jiang Wan shook her head and looked at Chen Yuan who was smiling and silent beside her with a half-smile: "Please, Mr. Chen, please organize the residents of the city to send hot food to my Nanhai guards immediately. They
I came here at starry night, I'm afraid I'm cold and hungry!"
"Master Han has arranged this!" Chen Yuan said with a slight smile: "Since the Nanhai Guards are here to help my Pingyang Mansion, how can I, Pingyang Mansion, treat me badly? Commander Jiang, don't worry!"
"Come in and talk!"
Jiang Wan waved, and the group of people followed Jiang Wan and walked toward the largest room that was leaking from all directions.
Yanran blinked and followed Li Zicheng without saying a word. Sure enough, none of Jiang Wan's soldiers stopped her until he entered the house.
However, all the guards were left outside the house, including the two guards assigned to her by Xu Caining.
Jiang Wan glanced at Yanran's body. Although she was a little confused, she didn't say anything. She just sat down and spoke.
"Master Chen, please tell Li Qianhu about the situation in Pingyang Mansion!" He said slowly: "With the current situation, there is no need to say those polite words!"
Chen Yuan nodded and told Qian Hu, who seemed to be much older than Jiang Wan, about the fighting situation around Pingyang Mansion. The news from Xizhou had been sent to Pingyang Mansion yesterday, which made Chen Yuan
Even more anxious.
On the contrary, Jiang Wan, who was sitting in the main seat, didn't seem to be so worried. She just stared at the two of them talking, as if she was thinking about something.
Yanran has been sizing up Jiang Wan. This is not the first time she has seen Jiang Wan, but it is the first time that she is so close. Jiang Wan looks like a gentle young man, even a little bookish, even though he has such a...
Wearing a military uniform doesn't seem to be able to diminish his temperament.
However, there is a certain majesty between the brows, which Li Zicheng does not have. This kind of majesty is difficult to describe. Xu Caining also has it, but it is not so obvious. Yan Ran did not feel it on Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui. Compared with this majesty
It seems that the temperament of Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng is more like evil and domineering.
From Xu Caining's mouth, she knew that Jiang Wan had not been very interested in her, and even had a bit of disgust. So, how to give the other party a good first impression under the premise that Jiang Wan had prejudices was to give her a good first impression.
This is something to consider carefully.
She was pondering this matter secretly in her heart, waiting for the opportunity to speak.
And Jiang Wan's eyes seemed to glance over intentionally or unintentionally, which made her heart suddenly beat faster. It was as if all the little thoughts she was pondering in her heart were understood by the other party at this moment.
