Chapter 526: The rain is hard to come
The fire was raging, and the fire continued unabated after dawn the next day, and the people of Baishui County had already taken advantage of the night to walk for most of the time, and the road was still full of groups of people walking north along the road. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Yang Xingben dragged his tired body back to the county seat, and now he has not closed his eyes for a day and two nights, but he has not felt a little sleepy, and he still has something important to do.
In the courtyard across the street from the county seat of Baishui and the county court lived a very important person, who had to be transferred before noon to the safer state of Yanzhou.
There was a knock on the door, and after a while, the door opened from the inside, and a half-old poked her head out and shouted dissatisfiedly:
"What knock is so rude?"
It was also Yang Xingben who was in an irritable mood, and even knocked on the door involuntarily brought his emotions. However, after the half-old found out that it was Yang Xingben outside the door, she immediately put on a smiling face, who in this whitewater city didn't know that Yang Xingben held the power of life and death?
"It turned out to be a general, and the slave's ears are really covered with lard......"
As he spoke, he hurriedly opened the two black lacquered doors and respectfully invited Yang Xingben in.
Yang Xing didn't plan to go in, so he only asked:
"How are the nobles in the courtyard doing these days?"
"Okay, good, much better, it's strange to say, chickenpox is born in dolls of a few years old, but it's rare to see a noble man like us! The day before yesterday, the low-grade fever subsided, and the amount of food grew longer, and in a few days it will be completely recovered, and the slave and maid ......."
Yang Xingben was impatient to listen to her noise, waved his hand to interrupt it, and said:
"Prepare and prepare, leave for the north in an hour, and serve the nobles well, and there will be a lot of rewards!"
For the sake of safety, Yang Xingben never confided the true identity of the nobles in the courtyard to anyone, and he himself tried to avoid coming here frequently, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Go north, where to go?"
The knew that there was a war outside, but there was a Shenwu army, and everyone was sure that the rebels would not be able to pick up the cheap, but now that she heard the word north from Yang Xingben's mouth, she began to be a little flustered and puzzled.
"Go to Yanzhou, someone will pick you up later. ”
Maybe he realized that his serious expression scared the half-old, so he squeezed out a little smile and explained:
"Strategic shift, the rebels have been jumping in a few days!"
This is the usual rhetoric used by the Shenwu Army to publicize the war situation to the people, but it has been tried repeatedly, and the people are convinced of it, and the half-old patted her chest repeatedly.
"Thank God, the slave maid was scared to death, and the general can rest assured that the slave and maid will be careful to serve the nobleman and not let her suffer the slightest grievance. ”
Yang Xingben was about to turn around and leave, but as if he remembered something, he took out a gold nugget from the skin bag on his waist, turned around and stuffed it into the hands of the half-old.
"Take it, reward you!"
Got the reward, the half-old were overjoyed, and wanted to invite Yang Xingben into the hospital, but where did Yang Xingben still have the time to take care of her?
Seeing the dust rising on the street, the half-old muttered silently: It's really strange, if the noble person he serves is General Yang's outer room, it doesn't look like the situation. It's not an outer room, so what is the relationship?
Women are curious by nature, and the half-aged have been trying to figure out what the identity of the noble person with a trick is, but whether it is in Yang Xingben or the nobleman, she can't figure it out at all.
Weighing the heavy gold ingots in her hand, the curiosity of the half-old became heavier, but as soon as she remembered that General Yang had told her to set off north as soon as possible, she didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurried to pack up the things she needed along the way.
Originally, it was explained that he would leave an hour later, but in less than half an hour, the people sent by Yang Xingben arrived.
The leading ironclad colonel, she also knows, is said to be General Yang's nephew, named Yang Zhen, three years younger than Yang Xingben, the two are similar in age, but they are a whole generation apart.
"Are you ready? Let's go!"
"The general is a little later, the slave still has something, no, I haven't packed it up......"
Yang Zhen's attitude was not a little worse than Yang Xing's, but I saw that his face was cold, and his tone was extremely impatient.
"If you don't leave, the rebels will enter the city, and everything that should be thrown will be thrown away, and you are afraid that there will be no food for you when you arrive in Yanzhou?"
The half-old was frightened, and she didn't care about packing her things, so she hurriedly went inside to invite the nobles out, for fear that it would be too late to leave if she delayed for a while.
In fact, most of Yang Zhen's anger came from his uncle Yang Xingben, and their Yang family had become the culprit pointed out by Qianfu since Yang Guozhong's death, and Yang Xingben not only did not provoke fire in this disaster because he climbed the big tree of Qin and Jin, but rose step by step in this disaster. Yang Zhen has always been obedient to Yang Xing's words, and because of this clan uncle who is three years different from him, he did not suffer, and he obeyed him.
But Yang Zhen is a straight temper, seeing that the clan uncle raised the outer room behind his wife's back, he was already a little disapproving, and now he saw that he was so concerned when the bloody war was imminent, and even sent himself to personally escort him to Yanzhou, which was really intolerable.
What is so good about this woman, it actually made Yang Xingben distracted during the bloody battle, and Yang Zhen knew that he could not participate in this battle, and he was even more depressed.
If ordinary people seem to be able to avoid participating in the upcoming battle of defeat and get the beauty to escort the beauty to Yanzhou, it is unwanted. But for Yang Zhen, he is the most unwilling. In his opinion, the eldest husband should sacrifice his life to serve the country, and the horse leather shrouded his body, so that he would not die in vain.
However, being angry is angry, and Yang Zhen can also see that this is Yang Xingben deliberately taking care of himself, and he doesn't want him to give his life in the battle that he must lose. Thinking of this, the original bulging anger in his stomach was released, he is not a person who doesn't know what to do. Soon, the half-aged led a yellow cedar girl out, and the skirt swayed with the footsteps, like a fairy.
Yang Zhen immediately scolded the two with a cold face.
"Do you think this is an outing? Wear silk and satin, for fear that people will not come to rob you? If you flee, you have to look like you are fleeing......
This frightened the half-old again, and said with a crying voice:
"Oh my mother, isn't it a strategic shift? Why did it become a refugee? Could it be that the Shenwu Army can't beat those grasshoppers after the autumn?"
Yang Zhen was unwilling to entangle with this annoying mother-in-law, so he only ordered someone to take out two of the most ordinary uniforms in the private sector from his backpack and hand them over.
"Put it on!"
The half-old didn't want to change, and wanted to cry, but the girl who followed her grabbed her and persuaded softly:
"What this general said is very reasonable, it's better to wear ordinary clothes when going out during the war, otherwise you will really be coveted by arrests!"
Yang Zhen is just a military marquis in the army, and he is still 108,000 miles away from the general, and it is the first time he has been called a general, and he can't help but feel a little embarrassed, but seeing her so reasonable, he can't help but feel a little more good in his heart, and he is not as disgusted as before.
"Okay, just listen to the nobleman!"
Before the words fell, the courtyard door snapped shut, locking Yang Zhen outside.
The half-old accepts people's money and loyalty, and she has never disobeyed the girl's words, so she had to pinch her nose and put the clothes that still smelled of sweat outside, and she was almost smoked by the sour smell and vomited on the spot. To her surprise, the noble man did not hesitate to change into clothes that smelled of sweat.
"The old woman is really convinced!"
But the girl smiled, and did not answer, but secretly thought that she had experienced more dangers than she was now, and what was there to fear? As soon as she thought of this, her eyes looked south, and she wondered what the situation of that person was......
On the third day of the raging fire, the pontoon bridge was built, the Beiluo water was finally frozen, and the Yan army crossed the river in a big way.
After the Yan army crossed the river, it crushed the Tang army blocking the west bank of the Beiluoshui River and crushed it to pieces. The fierce battle did not last even a day, and the Tang army, after leaving behind thousands of corpses, finally escaped cleanly.
However, Sun Xiaozhe did not have the slightest joy after the victory in the battle, and what he got was a whitewater city that fell into a sea of fire. After crossing the river, the soldiers of the Yan army did not even have a place to live, so they had to demolish the camp on the east bank and re-camp on the west bank.
The mystery that tortured Sun Xiaozhe for three days and three nights was about to be revealed, and he took more than 1,000 cavalry to personally rush to the place where the fire would not be extinguished for three days, that is, Tongguancang, thirty miles west of Baishui City.
Looking at the raging fire, Sun Xiaozhe wanted to cry without tears, and his face was burned by the heat wave, but he didn't realize it.
Zhang Tongru asked whether to continue to pursue the Tang Dynasty soldiers and civilians to the north, Sun Xiaozhe gritted his teeth, his eyes almost erupted with fire, and he squeezed out three words.
"Go back to Chang'an!"
Returning to Chang'an is the most rational choice, without those millions of stone grain, even if the soldiers and civilians of Feng Yijun are chased and annihilated, what will it do?
However, Sun Xiaozhe was not completely without harvest, and actually picked up the unburned grain in the ashes and ruins, although it was half-baked and half-cooked by the fire, but after all, it could be eaten and eaten.
For this kind of overheated grain, Sun Xiaozhe is also like a treasure, and he is so excited that people dig and dig in the ruins. It's just that it took three full days of hard work, and it only collected tens of thousands of stones, which is a drop in the bucket for an army of 200,000.
After tossing ten days of hard work, Sun Xiaozhe finally took the army to embark on the road back to Chang'an, and then sent someone to take the first step, Pegasus to the camp outside Chang'an City to report the victory, only said that Feng Yi's battle was a complete victory, and 5 million stones of grain were seized.
The main general of the Yan army outside Chang'an City was worried about the burning of the grain storage camp in Wannian County, and seeing that there was no rice in the army, the news of the seizure of 5 million stones of grain was sent back in time, and it was like rain and sunny weather!
