Chapter 170 The joy of the old man (for the beaten sister Yu 10)
"Assemble!"
Sheng Zhong shouted at the top of his lungs.
All he could see were fireworks, and his men were screaming in the fireworks.
A fire ox cart rushed towards me crazily. Sheng Zhong rode his horse to avoid it, and then there were screams from behind...a series of...
Shan Hu rushed out of the fireworks, his face was ashen, and shouted: "Go quickly, go quickly!"
Sheng Zhong was led by him and ran back together.
More than ten of Shan Hu's confidants followed closely, and someone asked in a low voice: "Why should we save him?"
Shan Hu glanced at Sheng Zhong, who was galloping ahead, and said, "If he dies here, no matter how big of a fault he is, it will be gone. But who will bear the responsibility for losing this battle? Me!"
Confidants praised: "What a good idea!"
I didn't save you out of kindness, but because I wanted someone to carry the thunder.
Sheng Zhong is the leader of this trip. If he doesn't take the blame, who will take the blame?
"Who leads the enemy army!" Shengzhong turned around and shouted.
Someone said: "They raised a big flag!"
"What word?"
"I can't read!"
Sheng Zhong was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
He tried to look back while he was galloping, and when he heard a snapping sound at the joints of his neck, he couldn't help but be frightened, fearing that his bones would be broken by this move.
Then he saw a big flag.
"It's Yang Ziqi!"
"It's Yang Xuan!"
"It's Yang Gou!"
His subordinates ran faster.
He quickly surpassed Katsuucha and the others.
Their voices were heard in the wind.
"The people from the Waxie tribe suffered from him last time, and they said they were as cunning as foxes."
"Kill this vicious dog next time!"
Someone said with confidence.
"Tang Jun is chasing us."
In an instant all dreams were left behind.
"drive!"
Yang Xuan led his troops to pursue him. At the top of the city, Du Hui was sitting there, motionless.
Xie Ruchu was holding a spear and arranging follow-up matters.
"Treat the wounded."
"Move away the debris blocking the city gate."
"Order the city to boil water, cook some food, and make some. Take out the dried meat, boil the broth, and make some dry pancakes. At least we can't let the reinforcements go hungry and say that I, Zhangyu County, don't know how to be a good person."
"Also, the people in the city gather together and go out of the city to clean up."
Xie Ru's order was the most popular, but he added, "Everything collected, except for the enemy corpses, is piled outside."
Someone asked; "Don't you want to move in?"
Xie Ru scolded: "That's the Taiping Army's military exploits. Let's take it in. Where's your face? Do you want it?"
After finishing the arrangements, he dragged his lame leg to Du Hui's side and sat down heavily and relaxedly.
The two of them leaned against the city wall side by side and remained silent.
After a long time, Du Hui said faintly: "I have thought about many things. I have thought about the reinforcements from Xuanzhou coming, and the sudden appearance of reinforcements from Lin'an. Even if it is just a fantasy, I can comfort myself at least."
Xie Ru smiled and said: "Mingfu never thought that Yang Mingfu would come, right?"
Du Hui nodded and shook his head, "I've thought about it, but I know it's just a fantasy."
"When I saw that it was Yang Ming's house, my mind was empty." Du Hui didn't notice that he had changed his name to Yang Xuan, "Judging from the time, he should have arrived Qingqi and didn't stop for a moment.
, then raided the enemy's grain trucks and used fire ox carts to attack the enemy."
"What a good trick!" Xie Ru praised: "To be honest, when I saw those fire ox carts, I couldn't think of the reason for doing this."
"I didn't expect it." Du Hui smiled bitterly, "He is young and has many tricks. If this continues, in five or ten years, he will be so dazzling. And I..."
Xie Ru looked at him and thought that since Yang Xuan arrived in Chenzhou, Du Hui had been targeting him.
"Mingfu, from now on..."
You targeted Yang Xuan, but Yang Xuan saved you with a backhand. How to settle this score?
If he is ungrateful, the entire army and people in Chenzhou will regard Du Hui as an unkind and unjust beast.
Du Hui shook his head.
Get up and start taking off your clothes.
"Hey! Mingfu!"
Xie Ru struggled to stand up and said, "There are many people in the city. Take it off when you go back."
Du Hui ignored him and quickly took off his coat.
Keep taking it off.
In the end, he was naked with his upper body naked, but his lower body was left on.
He just walked down the city and walked outside the city.
"Mingfu!"
"Mingfu is in good health!"
"yes!"
A group of people are bragging.
But no matter how good your body is, it can’t be half-fruited, right?
The common people were cleaning up the battlefield and throwing the corpses of enemy soldiers together.
"The cow is dead!"
"This end won't work either."
Cheers came and went.
Until reinforcements come back.
Yang Xuan came on horseback. When he saw a half-naked man in front of him with his head bowed, he frowned and said, "You are naked in broad daylight. How shameless is it?"
The old thief nodded, "I probably don't want it anymore."
Wang Laoer said: "Maybe it's hot."
So hot!
Yang Xuan had a cold face, feeling that this was Du Hui's attempt to intimidate him.
He dismounted and went over.
The half-fruited person raised his head and saluted.
"I have offended you many times in the past. Please forgive Yang Ming Mansion."
Plop!
Du Hui knelt down.
The grace of saving life is greater than heaven!
The gold under a man's knees must also be put aside.
Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment.
He swore he was just stunned for a moment, but a thought flashed through his mind.
It’s so cool!
Then he smiled and helped Du Hui up, "Why is Du Ming's house like this? Get up quickly."
Du Hui lowered his head, "I am so ashamed."
Yang Xuan stretched out his hand, "clothes."
Xie Ru handed over the clothes, and Yang Xuan put them on Du Hui.
There are at least hundreds of people outside the city watching here at the moment.
Du Hui used to target Yang Xuan, but now he pleads guilty. How does Yang Xuan react?
Is it old grudges that are hard to get rid of, or what?
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Look forward!"
Then two county magistrates marched into the city.
"Yang Mingfu has such a broad mind." Xie Ru praised.
After entering the county house, the two of them sat down opposite each other.
Du Hui said calmly: "When the Yang Ming Mansion came to Chenzhou, someone looked for me. I wanted to return to Guanzhong, but I couldn't find anyone to help me. The man said that as long as I take action against the Yang Ming Mansion,
They will naturally clear things up for me later."
"Who?" Yang Xuan knew who it was, so he still asked.
"A family with four surnames."
Yang Xuan nodded, "As expected."
Du Hui suddenly felt a little sad and laughed at himself: "I only offended Shangguan back then, so I ended up in this mess. The Yang Ming Mansion offended four members of the family, but they did it calmly. I am ashamed."
Yang Xuan was mentally prepared for this if he did big things.
Xie Ru came in and said with a smile: "There are a lot of dead cows outside the city, and there is a lot of dried meat. But I haven't eaten fresh beef for a long time. Today, thanks to Yang Ming's house, let's have a beef feast.
.”
Du Hui smiled and said: "That's fine."
Xie Ru turned around and ordered: "Have them cook the beef in a big pot and cut it into pieces."
What a waste of natural resources!
Yang Xuan said: "Wait a minute."
"Yang Ming's Mansion..." Xie Ru turned around.
"This method seems natural, but it tastes extremely boring."
"Does Yang Mingfu still know how to cook?"
Yang Xuan said humbly: "I know a little bit."
He got up and went outside the county.
The cauldron has been set up at this moment.
"Get me some spices."
Yang Xuan asked for some seasonings and then made a large pot of beef.
"Get the slices in."
A jar of wine and several large plates of beef slices.
It's so delicious... Du Hui ate a piece, looked at Yang Xuan intently, and then took off his chopsticks like flying.
Later, the three of them finished eating.
Du Hui opened his mouth and burped, and said awkwardly: "I've been very hungry these days."
I am definitely not greedy.
"Yes!" Xie Ru rubbed his belly and tried to get up, but had some difficulty. "It's the same with lower officials."
Only Yang Xuan remained as usual.
He is like a god in his military skills, and even his cooking skills are extraordinary.
Du Hui coughed dryly, "Yang Ming's house is noble?"
Why did Lao Du ask this? Yang Xuan said, "Sixteen."
"Young man has a bright future!"
Du Hui looked at him with something wrong in his eyes.
What is this old thing going to do?
Yang Xuan felt like he was a commodity and Du Hui was commenting on him.
"Did Yang Mingfu ever marry a wife?"
"Never."
"What a pity that the young hero is alone!"
Du Hui said seriously: "I have a virgin girl in my family who is thirteen years old. She is beautiful, virtuous and virtuous. I think Yang Ming Mansion is a good match. Who is in charge in the Yang Ming Mansion family? I will look after you when I turn around.
I'm looking for a matchmaker."
The woman takes the initiative to propose marriage.
What the hell!
How shameless!
The old thief outside had a twitching cheek.
Mingfu, let’s save some face! Xie Ru looked at his immediate superior with a blank expression.
Yang Xuan coughed dryly and said, "That's it, but I don't have that thought at the moment."
He really wanted to say that I have the one I love. Although such a private life-long matter is not a big problem at the moment, Zhou Ning is born in the Zhou family. How can she deal with herself if others gossip about her?
When you love someone, you will consider him or her from all aspects, consciously or unconsciously.
Every wrinkle on Du Hui's face was filled with the happiness of his father-in-law, "I think this marriage is quite suitable. Is there a woman in the Yang Ming Mansion? Please send someone to take a look."
This is called looking at each other.
Otherwise, who would be willing to marry blindly and dumbly?
Yang Xuanru sat on pins and needles, "Let's talk about it..."
He glanced at the old thief outside the door.
The old thief said understandingly: "Lang Jun, there are still important things to do in Taiping."
"Hey! Look at me, I forgot and drank." Yang Xuan stood up and handed over his hands, "There are still things to do in Taiping, so I will go back and we will meet again next time."
"Hey! Don't leave Yang Ming's house! How many people have come to ask for my daughter, but I just don't like it. I don't like this... Yang Ming's house, Yang Ming's house?"
Yang Xuan ran away with his men in a hurry.
"Yang Ming Mansion comes and goes like the wind!"
There was a sergeant at the top of the city praising Yang Xuan's speed.
Another person said: "Yang Ming Mansion saved my whole Zhangyu County and just had a quick meal and left. How noble and honorable this is."
For a time, Yang Xuan's reputation was unprecedentedly good in Zhangyu County.
…
"Look at the good thing you did, do it again!"
After the reinforcements set off, Liu Qing roared more.
The people outside the door left with satisfaction.
"I don't know what happened."
Lu Qiang was also a little restless, "Mingfu, please send someone to Taoxian County to report the news."
"There's no rush." Liu Qing sat down and said tiredly: "It's just a few days over there. Let's wait until we get the news before reporting it."
Lu Qiang smiled bitterly, "Once Zhang Yu is lost, my deployment in Chenzhou will be disrupted."
"What's terrible is that from now on, the three major ministries will think that I, Chen Zhou, am a soft persimmon, and everyone wants to pinch me." Liu Qing said with a cold face, "There will be many people who will impeach me later. I don't love the old man, but I can't.
I’m worried that no one will clean up this mess.”
The two were silent for a long time. Lu Qiang stood up and said, "I'm going to go take a look at the city defense."
Liu Qing nodded, "That's right. Be careful of the enemy's surprise attack."
Lu Qiang went to the top of the city and told the general to be more vigilant.
"The cavalry is coming."
Lu Qiang was shocked and looked up.
More than ten horses came galloping.
That's amazingly fast.
"He's one of ours."
The reinforcement scouts have returned.
These scouts set out with the reinforcements, and from the time they set out until now, it was not enough for them to make a round trip. In other words, they got the news on the way.
Lu Qiang walked down the city, suppressing the confusion in his heart, and waited for the scouts to come closer and asked: "How is Zhang Yu?"
The scout grinned, and Lu Qiang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Could it be...
"We met the envoy from Zhangyu County on the road."
A rider came up from behind. He looked extremely tired and even had scars on his face.
"I say goodbye. Five days ago, the enemy attacked the city fiercely. When Zhang Yu saw the city being destroyed, Taiping Yang Ming Mansion led 500 cavalry to come to the rescue. They defeated the enemy in one battle and I, Zhang Yu, turned the corner."
"Five hundred riders..."
Lu Qiang thought to himself that no matter how crazy 500 cavalry were, they couldn't defeat more than 10,000 enemy troops, right?
But this is not the place to talk.
"Let's go to Zhouse!"
Everyone hurriedly entered the state house.
Liu Qing had already received the news, but at this moment he was sitting calmly in the hall.
Lu Qiang came in with a messenger.
"Your Majesty, good news!"
"Calm down!" Liu Qing frowned.
As expected, the emperor was calm and unhurried, and everyone could not help but secretly praise him.
The messenger told what happened.
When he heard that the fire ox cart was attacking the enemy, Liu Qing lost his composure. He accidentally twisted off a few long beards and his eyelids jumped in pain.
"Then the Taiping Army pursued them all the way, and the enemy troops were killed and injured everywhere!"
The messenger said with great joy.
Lu Qiang praised: "What a great Yang Zitai! What a great Yang Xuan!"
Liu Qing said with a straight face: "When I valued him at first, how many people were jealous because of it? You said I was partial. During the crisis in Zhangyu County, more than ten thousand enemy troops gathered, but he resolutely went to the rescue with only 500 cavalry.
, put all the conflicts in the past behind, how can I not be partial to Yang Zitai like this!"
The five county magistrates are in trouble... Lu Qiang smiled and said, "Yes!"
Liu Qing felt relieved and inevitably showed signs of fatigue.
Liu Qing hasn't slept well these past few days... Lu Qiang handed over his hand and said, "You have worked hard these past few days, please rest."
Liu Qing shook his head, "My mind is full of things at the moment, and I can't sleep even if I go back and lie down. By the way, I'll send a messenger to Taoxian County immediately to report this matter."
"yes!"
"In addition, Zhang Yu County suffered heavy casualties this time. Please ask Huang Xianggong of Tao County for instructions to recruit warriors to supplement Zhang Yu County."
"yes."
Han Li went out.
Liu Qing relaxed and said with a smile: "Yang Xuan is very generous and ambitious this time, but we can't let him run away in vain, otherwise he will definitely come to fight against the autumn wind next time."
Lu Qiang asked: "Does the envoy want to donate generously?"
"I'm so poor!" Liu Qing said with a smile, "Give him three thousand kilograms of dried meat and give him a hundred crossbows."
"It's not a small gesture."
"He suffered a loss." Liu Qing said calmly: "But if you want to make progress, you have to suffer a loss, and you have to be able to suffer a loss. Otherwise, how can I recommend him in the future?"
Lu Qiang understood, "You are too young."
Liu Qing sneered, "Look at those people with five surnames in their families. Look at those powerful children. They are already high-ranking officials and well-paid at a young age."
"They will reincarnate." Lu Qiang smiled bitterly.
"They will be reincarnated, and we can only go up step by step."
Liu Qing looked at him and said slowly: "Old Lu, the Tang Dynasty has been clamoring for a prosperous age in recent years, but underneath the prosperous age there are blood, tears, and countless refugees.
The people are wailing, the emperor is singing and dancing, but I always feel something is wrong, and I am afraid that one day this so-called prosperous age will be destroyed, and the higher I stand, the harder I will fall."
Lu Qiang was silent for a long time, "Yes! Any knowledgeable person can see the current problems of the Tang Dynasty. But above us are emperors and a family with five surnames. Who will listen to our shouts?"
"If they don't listen, we will make our voices louder and louder!"
"Your Majesty's wishes..."
"Let more outstanding young people stand higher and higher. When we grow old, they will take care of the Tang Dynasty and our home on our behalf."
Liu Qing said softly: "Their voices are loud, let them shout at the top of their lungs for this Tang Dynasty!"
