Chapter 60: The Autumn Rain Choice
"Rong Hua, what are you looking at? So happy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xie Yun walked into his tent, and seeing the joy on his face that couldn't be hidden, he couldn't help but ask.
"Father." Xie Ronghua called, handed Xie Yun the reply letter from Xie Muyan that he had just received in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is the news from my sister, Lingzhen is still alive and is now with my sister." ”
"Really?" Xie Yun listened to his words, took the letter excitedly, and after reading it, he said with tears: "God bless my son, this is really good news, I'll tell Yunzhi now." With that, he rushed out of the tent.
Xie Ronghua looked at his back, still smiling, he took out another letter, and asked him if he knew a woman named Yan Xining, she saved Lingzhen, his hand slowly brushed the name that he hadn't seen for a long time, he had secretly sent someone to look for her in Luoyang, but he didn't get any news of her, it turned out that she went to Chang'an.
Yan Xining, we will see you again soon.
****************
Chen Luo's Fufeng army besieged Luoyang for a long time and did not take it, and heard that Xie Yun's army went north to the Central Plains, after receiving Xie Yun's handwritten letter that he was the leader of the alliance, he repeatedly decided to take Luoyang with all his might, regardless of Xie Yun, he was afraid that his army would stop Xie Yun, and the granary would be recaptured by the Luoyang army, and his gains would outweigh the losses.
Half a month after the Wei army set off from Jinyang, it suddenly rained in the sky, and it rained for several days without interruption.
In the camp tent of the marshal, Xie Yun walked back and forth, looked at the rain curtain outside the camp worriedly, turned around and frowned and said to everyone: "I don't know when this rain will fall, there is not much grain and grass left with us, God is not giving us a hint that the teacher is ......" He stubbornly choked the word unfavorable back into his mouth.
Everyone's faces were also solemn, and Pei Zhi said slowly: "Now that the weather is bad, the seal is sealed, and Wei Changsheng's troops are in danger, and it is really not easy to take it. He paused, continued: "Although we have an agreement with the Khitan, but the barbarian people, insatiable, mercenary, not trustworthy, recently in the army has been rumored that they attacked Jinyang, most of the families in the army are in Jinyang, the military spirit has been a little loose, this rain has no signs of stopping, in my opinion, it is better for us to go back to Jinyang first, stabilize Jinyang, and then try to seek other plots." ”
All the soldiers agreed with Pei Zhi's opinion, believing that such a weight was a foolproof strategy.
"Nope." Xie Ronghua suddenly objected: "Now there are green seedlings everywhere here, if the grain is really broken, you can still cook grain syrup and eat it, are the living still afraid of starving to death?" Wei Changsheng is very impatient and can be captured in one battle, Zhan Zimao and Khitan are very close on the surface, but they are actually suspicious of each other in their hearts. If he dares to go south to copy our Jinyang, isn't he afraid that the Khitan will copy his Mayi! At the beginning, we raised an uprising, and the intention was to enter Chang'an first at all costs and command the world. Now that I have encountered a little trouble, I think that the class teacher will return to Jinyang, so I am not afraid of cooling the hearts of the righteous army? ”
"Rong Hua, what you said is serious." Pei Zhi seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Xie Ronghua's resolute opposition, and flicked his sleeves and said: "If you don't return to Jinyang, you will continue to stay here to hide from the rain, if you don't advance or retreat, if Jinyang is really lost, can you guarantee that the army will not mutiny?" Will the army really disperse if it returns to Jinyang? The marshal has led the army for many years and has a very high prestige, how can he let the army collapse when he says it, but you are too young to understand the priority of things, and you are really easy to do bad things if you blindly rush forward. ”
Xie Ronghua saw that he was oppressing people with seniority, gritted his teeth, stopped talking, and only looked at Xie Yun.
"Who knows how long this rain will end? At this time of the year, it would be more than a month. Shi Xu Wenying, the leader of the left army, said sideways.
"yes, yes, it's better to be steady." Everyone agreed.
"Yunzhi, tell me what you think." Xie Yun looked at Xie Yunzhi, who had not said a word.
"I agree with Rong Hua, you can't just quit the army." Xie Yunzhi frowned and said softly.
"The march is the most taboo and hesitant, look at Qin Qiming's experience, if he took Chang'an at that time, he was ......" Xie Ronghua clenched his fists, trying his best to keep his tone calm.
"Your father is not a brave and unscrupulous man like Qin Qiming." Pei Zhi smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Xie Ronghua's words.
"Forget it, let's talk about it here." Xie Yun came forward to calm down the controversy and told everyone the final decision: "Let's return to Jinyang first, then Zhan Zimao won't clean up first, I always feel bottomless." ”
"Then, when did the marshal decide to pull out?" Cui Jianyun asked out loud.
"Now that we have made a decision, Zuo Santong will leave this afternoon. The right three are ready to leave early tomorrow morning. Soldiers are fast. Xie Yun replied.
The autumn rain seemed to be responding to Pei Zhi's words, it was falling heavier and heavier, and the wind blew the rain into a long silk thread, and the sky quickly darkened under the dark clouds.
Xie Ronghua stood in a corner of the barracks, watching the soldiers of the Left Third Commander retreat in a group in the direction they came, their feet stepping in the puddle, making a roaring sound of wading through the water, like the footsteps of fate, kicking on his heart. He finally couldn't hold back the depression in his heart, and slammed his fist on the trunk of the tree next to him, and the blood mixed with the rain slowly flowed down between his fingers.
"Childe......" Qin Luo looked at Xie Ronghua like this and whispered comfort.
Xie Ronghua suddenly strode forward, he found Cui Jianyun and asked him to stop the retreating soldiers, Cui Jianyun had the heart to persuade him: "General, the marshal of the camp has already been dissatisfied with you, if I stop now, I'm afraid it will ......."
"What the consequences are, I will bear it with all my might, and on the marshal's side, I will definitely persuade him to withdraw the military order." Xie Ronghua said in a deep voice.
In the heavy rain, Xie Ronghua walked to Xie Yun's residence, and there were four guards in robes standing outside the tent, and when they saw Xie Ronghua, they said softly: "General, the marshal has already slept, and he said that he would leave early tomorrow!" ”
Xie Ronghua didn't say much, knelt on his knees outside the tent, and said loudly to Xie Yun in the tent: "Father, I know that you haven't rested yet, but you just don't want to see me, and my son is willing to kneel outside the tent until my father sees me." ”
There was no movement in the tent, the heavy rain was pouring down, Xie Ronghua's whole body was already soaked, the rain slid down his cheeks, he just clenched his fists, stared at the big tent with a pair of phoenix eyes, straightened his back and knelt silently, time passed slowly in the sound of the rain, the guards outside the big tent looked at Xie Ronghua and sighed lowly.
Finally, Xie Yun walked out of the tent, looked at his son kneeling in the rain, and sighed: "Ronghua, why are you so troubled." ”
