Chapter 115 You can hear it clearly (I want to live for decades 1)
The county seat of Taiping County.
"The alien army is dispatched."
"Run for your life."
Several people who were looking for food outside did not forget to carry their backpacks when they fled, and rushed into the city in a hurry.
The sergeant guarding the gate shouted: "Where is the alien army?"
A commoner gasped, "I don't know, there are so many... all cavalry, they look fierce."
"Quantity!" The basic quality of the sergeant is not bad.
Several people shook their heads.
"I don't know."
Nan He is here.
"Where did those alien cavalry go?"
The reason why he is a general and those are sergeants can be seen from one question.
A commoner pointed to the south and said, "Going south."
Nan He clenched his fists, "Send an order to close the city gates and put the entire city under martial law. No one can go out without permission, otherwise... there will be no guilt in killing."
A sergeant asked: "Fifth brother, the south is the direction of the Ming Dynasty! Why don't you go to the rescue?"
"Do what you're told!"
Nan He returned to the county house and found Yi Niang.
"So, those aliens went to Lang Jun?" Yi Niang looked very calm.
"Yes." Nan He swore with his military qualities that this was the only possibility.
Yi Niang's lips trembled, "Then why don't you go to the rescue?"
Nan He lowered his head, "I can't."
Yi Niang roared: "What are you thinking? Do you want to sit back and watch your husband die in battle?"
Nan He was scolded and left the county house silently.
Walking on the street, the eyes on both sides of the door were filled with disdain.
"This idiot didn't even go to rescue the Ming Mansion."
Amid these looks and curses, Nan He walked to the top of the city and murmured: "When a hundred infantrymen ran there, the battle was already over. But the enemy cavalry was able to change direction and raid the undefended county town.
"
"The only thing I can do at this moment is to defend the county seat for Mr. Lang!"
A sergeant at the top of the city shouted: "There is someone!"
Nan He shouted: "Be alert!"
The sergeants at the top of the city clenched their swords and guns and stared at the dozen or so horsemen.
The cavalry gradually approached.
Someone is raising their hand.
At the top of the city, someone exclaimed, "They are our people!"
Nan He was greatly shocked.
What he was worried about was that Lang Jun would be defeated.
But he also hopes that Lang Jun can escape in time and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.
"Good news!"
shouted the leading cavalryman.
"Open the city gate!"
The city gate is wide open.
Several horses galloped in, and the rest dismounted to report...
"Good news, the Ming government led a death camp to defeat the 800 cavalry of the Vasie tribe!"
boom!
The entire Taiping City was stunned by the news.
Those people opened their doors one after another despite the curfew not being lifted yet.
"Good news! The Ming Dynasty led the death camp to defeat the 800 cavalry of the Vasie tribe!"
…
In the slums in the north of the city, the house that had been opened up was dusty and inconspicuous at all.
But at this moment, the house was filled with murderous intent.
Sun Yu walked out of the side room for the first time and stood on the steps of the main hall, with Wang Zhangyi beside him.
"The city is in chaos."
Sun Yu's tone was very calm.
The dozen or so big men standing below had fire in their eyes.
wildfire.
Sun Yu was very satisfied with this scene and said slowly: "The dog officer took his people to guard the grain road, but the news just came that the foreign cavalry came in overwhelming numbers, ready to cut off the grain road. I judge that the dog officer will definitely die, at this moment
, what can we do?”
Wang Zhangyi bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Sun, what we should do most at this moment is... to cause chaos in the city."
Sun Yu nodded, "Yes, let there be chaos in the city. As long as there is chaos in the city, we can take advantage of the situation... Yeah!"
He glanced at Wang Zhangyi.
Many times, the younger brother used it to block the gun.
Wang Zhangyi coughed dryly, "The dog officer made us suffer heavy casualties, but just when we were suffering heavy casualties, some people were ready to rob our business. This is an opportunity. Once the city is in chaos, we will take advantage of the situation and kill those idiots.
.”
Eliminate dissidents!
Sun Yu nodded, "Well, get ready to take action. I've prepared some good wine for you to come back... to celebrate!"
Everyone responded in a low voice.
The door opens.
Sun Yu looked at his subordinates getting ready to go out, and said with unavoidable complacency: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
But all gangs like anarchy. Only in this state can they become the masters of the city.
The big men looked at the street with bloodthirsty smiles.
Then their grins turned to astonishment.
The sound of horse hooves suddenly came.
"Good news!"
"The Ming Dynasty led a death battalion to defeat the eight hundred Waxie cavalry!"
"Good news..."
The big men turned around and rushed in. With a bang, someone closed the door and leaned against the door, as if they would die if they looked outside one more time.
Sun Yu stood on the steps, his face suddenly turned red, and then returned to calm.
Wang Zhangyi did not have such a city. He cursed: "It must be fake, look at it!"
"Shut up!" Sun Yu shouted at him, and then slowly walked into the side room.
"It's all gone." Wang Zhangyi waved his hand.
The big men dispersed quietly.
Wang Zhangyi entered the wing and saw Sun Yu standing in front of the window, making a fist with his right hand and beating it heavily on the window sill.
His face looked so ferocious for the first time.
Cursing wildly.
"Dog officer!"
…
Triumphant.
When the death camp returned, everyone in Taiping City came out.
The cheers were deafening.
Nan He knelt down outside the city gate.
"I did not send troops to rescue Lang Jun. It is a death penalty."
Yang Xuan helped him up and said with a smile: "If you send troops, it will be nothing. No matter whether you win or lose, it will be a failure. You are very good."
As soon as he entered the city, the cheers broke out.
"Mingfu!"
Countless hands were waving wildly in the air.
The enthusiastic people almost turned Yang Xuan into a ball of scum. After entering the county house, even Yi Niang almost didn't recognize him.
Yi Niang's tears are the best weapons. After seeing her, Yang Xuan took the initiative to tell the story of the battle.
"Those foreign cavalry looked fierce, but in fact they were extremely poor. They were defeated by my death camp after a few attacks. I was commanding from behind. It was like going on a spring outing outside Chang'an City, and I just had to make a fire to barbecue.
"
Yi Niang burst into tears and smiled, then congratulated Nan Fu Shen again, "It was the slave's fault before."
Nan He returned the gift, "I don't dare."
Yi Niang is the last line of defense around Yang Xuan and the filter around him. Even though Yi Niang is busy in the backyard all day long, everyone from Cao Ying to Wang Lao Er is in his sight.
If someone does something inappropriate, Yi Niang will inform Yang Xuan in time.
You would be wrong to say that Yi Niang is similar to a mirror.
Look at the way Yi Niang looks at Yang Xuan, like an old hen protecting her young.
All this is just her instinct.
Jiang Zhen was also among the welcoming crowd, and he quietly returned to his room.
He took out the letter he was about to send away and took a look at it.
Skip to read: Yang Xuan was defeated and died.
"Why!"
Thinking of Yang Xuan patting him on the shoulder just now, as if to say, "Thank you for your hard work," Jiang Zhen's eyes became a little confused.
He burned the letter and wrote it again.
——The foreign race was defeated.
The hand holding the pen is particularly strong.
Even the eyebrows are more excited.
After a long time, he whispered: "So, will those people think that the Ming Mansion is too powerful? Use more powerful means to deal with him?"
There was more smell and smoke of burning paper in the room.
——The foreign race was defeated and he suffered heavy casualties.
"that is it."
Jiang Zhen felt a little warm on his forehead, raised his head, and the ray of sunshine shone on his face.
…
Lin'an.
"I'm a little uneasy."
Liu Qing was sitting behind the desk. He was always diligent in official matters, but now he let the documents scatter on the desk and ignored them.
Lu Qiang knew the reason for his uneasiness, and he sighed, "There are other grain roads, but this is Chenzhou, and there are countless alien races on the opposite side. Let alone guarding the grain roads, even defending Chenzhou is difficult."
"Mrs. Xu Guogong..." Lu Qiang couldn't say anything unpleasant after all.
"That's a villain!" Liu Qing didn't have such taboos. "Did Your Majesty ask him to fight all the way to Ningxing? It's just a revenge battle. An army of 50,000 is more than enough, but he ordered the local government to guard the grain road. This is
Shameless shirking of responsibility.”
Ningxing is the capital of Northern Liao Dynasty.
Lu Qiang looked blankly into space, "Your Majesty, what I'm afraid of is... that he will be timid before he fights."
"Except for fear, he is just timid before fighting." Liu Qing said coldly: "If the food route is cut off, Zhang Chumao can withdraw his troops on the grounds of lack of food. You are a slut, he is such a scumbag.
Can’t Chang’an understand the trick?”
Lu Qiang smiled bitterly, "Of course Chang'an can understand it, but...it is said that Your Majesty and the four surnames of the family are now in a good relationship. Xu Guogong is the son-in-law of the Yang family in Yingchuan. He has been guarding southern Xinjiang these years."
"The Southern Zhou Dynasty was afraid that the Tang Dynasty would send troops to attack, so how could they dare to take action? So Southern Xinjiang was singing and dancing to bring peace. But even so, Zhang Chumao was still able to flourish. It can be seen that all the achievements are not as good as the nepotism, Gan Te Niang!" Liu Qing scolded.
Lu Qiang sighed, "The Jiedushi has been in Xuanzhou, why not let the Jiedushi send troops to retaliate? Instead, he sent a strong foreigner and a middle-aged man. Alas!"
Liu Qing shook his head, "Jiedushi has been insisting on sticking to the northern border and trying his best not to attack. Chang'an has a lot of criticism of him. Besides... it's a credit to the fact that he didn't get it right this time. I don't know what the four surnames of the family have achieved with His Majesty, but they can actually do it."
To operate Zhang Chumaolai...this is to look for opportunities to make achievements."
"But what about Datang?" Lu Qiang was rarely depressed.
"Datang..." Liu Qing was just about to speak when there was a noise outside.
"Envoy!" A petty official rushed in regardless of the rules, his face was pale, "The cavalry of the Vaxie tribe raided the Taiping grain road."
Liu Qingqiang calmed down and asked, "How many troops are there?"
"Say it's a thousand."
Liu Qing stood up suddenly, "Yang Xuan only has 500 death camps in his hands. I..." He slapped his forehead, "I should have given him more armor and weapons if I had known better. It's too late to regret it. Someone is coming, and I'm going to send him a horse."
Gather together and I will go to the rescue myself."
Lu Qiang stood up and said, "Go to the official position."
Liu Qing shook his head and said as he walked out: "He can feel the danger, but I am so numb that he wants to exchange his knowledge for armor and weapons. I did not do a good job as a superior officer, so that... it is my fault,
It’s up to me to save it.”
The soldiers and horses in the city quickly gathered.
Liu Qing was fully clothed in military uniform and coughing in the cold wind.
"You are optimistic about Lin'an, I will go there now."
The city gate slowly opened.
Several horses came galloping.
"Good news!"
Um!
Liu Qing was startled and shouted: "Bring him in."
The knights approached and shouted loudly: "Good news! Taiping Yang Ming's mansion led a death camp to defeat a thousand knights of the Vasie tribe!"
Liu Qing's body shook, "Who?"
The sergeant's face was slightly cut open by the cold wind, but he said happily: "Taiping Yangming Mansion."
Liu Qing closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he cursed: "What are you waiting for? Spread the good news throughout Chenzhou, go quickly!"
"yes!"
"Wait!" Liu Qing stopped Lu Qiang and whispered: "Just say that he defeated two thousand riders, huh?"
Do you understand?
Lu Qiang understood, "I understand."
"Defeat two thousand riders!"
Immediately the good news began to spread.
"Good news! Taiping Yang Ming's mansion led a death battalion to defeat the 2,000 horsemen of the Vaxie tribe!"
The fast horse went straight to the front line.
…
Fifty thousand troops gathered in Taoxian County, where the Jiedushi Envoy was stationed in Northern Xinjiang, and packed Taoxian County into a swamp.
In the Jiedushi Yamen, Northern Xinjiang Jiedushi Huang Chunhui was sitting on his knees. His old face was covered with wrinkles, which reminded people of the bark of an old tree. His eyes were drooped, as if he would fall asleep in the next moment.
The generals below looked at this scene and smiled bitterly.
Lieutenant General Zhang Du stood outside the door, with fire in his eyes. He was only over 20 years old, and he became a lieutenant general based on his military merit. If Huang Chunhui had not been able to hold on in the past few years, he swore that he would definitely become a general.
Inside, Judge Wu Lin said with a smile: "The army still needs to rest, there is no need to worry."
Jiang Cunzhong, the general of Zuowei, said with lightning eyes, "Since we want revenge, we should launch a thunderous assault instead of waiting for the enemy to be prepared before confronting the enemy with a large army. Isn't that stupid?"
Wu Lin coughed dryly and said, "Xu Guogong has his own opinions and cannot overstep them."
This statement implies: You are just a lieutenant general, can you also interfere with the overall situation?
Jiang Cunzhong sneered, "Bei Liao is becoming more and more domineering now. If the army does not move, it will be a sign of weakness."
Wu Lin smiled, "Of course, Xu Guogong... and Zhongcheng will take charge of these matters."
Huang Chunhui was the military governor of Northern Xinjiang and held the post of censor Zhongcheng.
Someone came outside and reported, "Zhongcheng, the army has been dispatched."
Then a general came and said, "The Duke ordered his subordinates to inform Zhongcheng that fighter planes have appeared and the army has left the city."
Huang Chunhui opened his eyes and said blankly: "Oh! Got it."
There was more contempt in the general's eyes, and he resigned casually.
After the general left, Jiang Cunzhong said angrily: "That's rude! Also, Zhongcheng, Beiliao has already accumulated a large army on the opposite side. What does he mean by sending troops now?"
Huang Chunhui coughed dryly, muttered a few words, and ordered: "Everyone is ordered to guard the city. In addition, prepare more medicinal materials in the city. When the doctors are ready... everyone goes."
On the fifth day, a group of scouts rushed into Taoxian County.
"Zhongcheng, the vanguard has been defeated and the army has turned back."
Huang Chunhui yelled, "Be prepared to respond. We will send out intensive scouts. In addition, we have sent orders to all places and still can't get out."
"As you command!"
A group of generals and officials went out with red faces.
Not ashamed!
"Yeah, he's furious!" Jiang Cunzhong said angrily: "He should have attacked a long time ago, but he looked forward and backward, hesitated, and was too timid to fight... He could only bite the bullet and attack after the enemy troops gathered. This is not... special. !”
The army is back.
Zhang Chumao, Duke of Xu State, came to Jiedushi Yamen.
"The enemy army was powerful and the forwards were incompetent, so they were defeated. I saw that the situation was wrong, so in order to preserve my strength, I could only lead my troops to retreat slowly. The enemy army did not dare to press forward."
Huang Chunhui's dazed old eyes looked more tired, "Really?"
Zhang Chumao looked at him, "Of course."
Huang Chunhui sighed: "That's it. By the way, where are the enemy troops?"
"Zhongcheng, the enemy is besieging the city." Outside, a sergeant was reporting loudly.
"Oh!" Huang Chunhui ordered: "It's still the same sentence, stick to it."
Zhang Du was gritting his teeth outside the door. He wanted to come in several times, but was stopped.
Jiang Cunzhong suppressed his anger and said: "Zhongcheng, at least go out of the city and rush to suppress the enemy's morale."
Huang Chunhui coughed dryly, and there seemed to be phlegm in his throat, and said vaguely: "Hold on! Hey! It's freezing cold, why are the army surrounding the city? Why don't we go home to warm ourselves by the fire, and get some mutton to eat by the way."
Veins popped out on everyone's foreheads.
However, everyone's eyes avoided Zhang Chumao.
Zhang Chumao stood up and said, "I'm back."
"Oh!" Huang Chunhui raised his eyes and said blankly: "Master Xu! Go slowly, I won't send you away."
After Zhang Chumao left, the lobby was completely silent.
Someone outside said: "He said before that he would retreat calmly and that the enemy would not dare to press forward. But what is outside the city at this moment?"
The word shameless echoed in everyone's mouth, but they couldn't say it out.
The Duke of Xu, Zhang Chumao, was not alone. Behind him stood a family of four surnames, and even the emperor, who was very close to the four surnames of the family at the moment.
Anyone who dares to offend Zhang Chumao is offending that huge group.
The Northern Liao army besieged the city, and the people in the city were frightened.
But somehow, the Liao army withdrew on the second day.
Jiang Cunzhong watched the Liao army withdraw from the city, and asked in confusion: "Why is this? Did Zhongcheng say... why not go home and roast the mutton?"
Zhang Chumao lived quite happily in the city, and even had a singer.
The singing and dancing are charming, and the beauties around you are intoxicating.
Zhang Chumao drank wine, hugged the beauty, and said: "This battle is unfavorable for the forwards. We will clearly note it in the military report and send it to Chang'an immediately."
"Yes." Chang Shi responded.
Unless appointed by the superiors, the chief historian is usually the general who conquers the territory on his own, and this chief historian is Zhang Chumao's confidant. He said softly: "My lord, Huang Chunhui seems to be very old, but this man has been in charge of northern Xinjiang for several years.
There has never been a big mistake, so be careful this time he slanders you in private."
There was a hint of murderous intent in Zhang Chumao's eyes, "He doesn't have the guts, otherwise I will kill him later in life."
Chang Shi sighed, "It's a pity that the food route was not cut off, otherwise the withdrawal would have been easy."
Zhang Chumao sneered, "He Zun went to inspect the grain road, but there was no news."
Chang Shi smiled and said: "I think Mr. He came here for his own reasons."
Zhang Chumao suddenly pushed the beauty in his arms away, "Get out!"
The singers resigned, Zhang Chumao's eyes were cold and stern, "This matter must be done as soon as possible... That's all. If I don't rush back to Chang'an in time, I'm afraid there will be villains who spread rumors behind my back and cause trouble. So, quickly draw up a document to report victory."
Go back to Chang'an and ask for permission to go back."
Chang Shi agreed, but he had some doubts, "My lord, some of Huang Chunhui's men are restless. If they... say some strange things behind their backs..."
Zhang Chumao sneered, "I'll go there tomorrow and see who dares to comment!"
The next day, Zhang Chumao went to the Jiedushi Mansion.
Huang Chunhui was still sitting there listening to the officials reporting on matters, as if he was wandering outside.
"Huang Zhongcheng!"
Huang Chunhui raised his eyes and looked blankly, "Mr. Xu Guogong!"
Zhang Chumao sat down, glanced at the officials present, and said in a deep voice: "This battle is not going well for the forward, and the general was dealt with by me. Then the Northern Liao army covered up the attack, and I led the army to intercept... Huang Zhongcheng, what do you think?"
Isn’t this a blatant lie about military information?
Jiang Cunzhong's eyes became filled with anger.
"Oh!" Huang Chunhui coughed dryly, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
Everyone was stunned, then the follower said: "Eat chicken."
Huang Chunhui smiled and said: "But the one that makes me so noisy recently that I can't sleep well?"
"yes."
Everyone looked at each other, wondering whether the old gentleman was confused or was mocking someone.
Zhang Chumao sneered, stood up suddenly and said: "Beijing has been unable to defend itself all these years, and it's useless. Chang'an has been waiting for good news for a long time!"
"Good news!"
Before he finished speaking, a clerk rushed in from outside, with such a happy look on his face!
"Zhongcheng, there is good news."
"Let the messenger come in."
A sergeant entered the lobby and saluted.
"I've met Zhongcheng."
Huang Chunhui nodded, "Read it."
The sergeant shouted loudly as he reported the victory: "Chenzhou reported victory. Yang Xuan, the magistrate of Taiping County in Chenzhou, led a death battalion of 400 people to guard the grain road and defeated the 2,000 cavalrymen of the Waxie tribe!"
Huang Chunhui snorted and said calmly: "Why didn't I hear you clearly? I'm old and my ears don't work anymore. Say it again! Louder!"
He was the governor of Northern Xinjiang. Xuanzhou, Chenzhou, and Weizhou were all under his command, but he had no power of appointment. Therefore, Chenzhou must come here to report his victory.
The sergeant was startled, thinking that I was very loud just now! Even a deaf person can hear it, right?
But you can't disobey your orders.
The sergeant raised his voice and shouted almost like a roar: "Good news! Good news! Good news from Chenzhou. Yang Xuan, the magistrate of Taiping County in Chenzhou, led a death battalion of 400 people to guard the grain road and defeated the 2,000 horsemen of the Waxie tribe!"
"I heard you clearly this time." Huang Chunhui smiled, looked at everyone, and asked softly, "Did you hear everything clearly?"
"Listen clearly." Everyone agreed in a loud voice.
Zhang Chumao clenched his fists!
…
Thanks to Brother Cheng. It will only be put on the shelves after the rebellion, and everything will begin... to rise!
