Chapter 92: Pinglan Inn (Fourth Watch)

"Good! General Ling, we will proceed as planned, you will lead the troops to Jiangxia, and I will stay in Yuncheng. Just in case Xu Xiaoyuan. Mu Xiaohe made up his mind.

"Obey the order, but the son of the world, now the 20,000 soldiers and horses I brought from Jiangzhou have been folded by 5,000, and Yuncheng only has 5,000 soldiers, so there are only 20,000 horses at present, and this force is not easy to distribute!" Ling Heng looked worried, he had to deal with Liancheng'an and attack the city, at least 15,000 men and horses, but how could the 5,000 men and horses in Yuncheng resist Xu Xiaoyuan's army?

Mu Xiaohe chuckled: "Just give me five thousand soldiers and horses." ”

"Shizi...."

"Needless to say, I have my own measure!" Mu Xiaohe interrupted him with a smile.

Ling Heng was not easy to refute, but he was bitter in his heart, Mu Shizi came by the emperor's order, in case of a mistake, how could he afford it. But there is no better way at the moment, and when he saw Mu Xiaohe looking confident, he could only agree to him. Every move on the battlefield was a dangerous move, and Ling Heng knew this well, so he had no other choice.

That night, Ling Heng gathered men and horses to prepare grain, grass and warships, and went down the river early tomorrow morning.

And Mu Xiaohe was tired of the saddle horse because he was in a hurry for several days, so he rested early under the service of initiation. Fortunately, initiation will not only serve people, but also make dim sum, so Mu Xiaohe also feels comfortable. But when she remembered that Jiang Mei had stuffed all the right-hand men around her to herself, she couldn't help but feel guilty and worried.

When Mu Xiaohe had gradually fallen asleep, Jiang Mei and the four of them had already found a post station along the road to rest. Dongsung, as the only man, took on the burden of taking care of the three women. Because of the cold night and the cold weather, they stayed in the hotel very late, and the station of the post station refused to serve them, so the work of fetching water and other work was handed over to Dongcheng.

Early the next morning, the three of them began to hurry again. At noon, the four of Jiang Mei finally arrived at the foot of Jingling City. Jiang Mei got off the horse, looked at the towering city gate, there was a trace of joy in her heart, finally came back, after many years, finally returned to her own territory, she was full of pride, here she can do whatever she wants, so she is even more chic and casual.

But suddenly, she turned her head, but saw Hua Ying looking at the word "Jingling" with tears streaming down her face. In an instant, her heart twitched, and her eyes ached.

Jiang Mei let out a long sigh and walked to Hua Ying's side, "Hua Ying......."

"Does Miss Jiang know about the loss of Xiangyang fourteen years ago?" Hua Ying intercepted her words and said sadly,

Jiang Mei stood still, looked up at the city gate, and after a moment of silence, Fang said two words: "I know...."

"That girl must know that the Yun family will be slaughtered by the Yan army......"

“…… Know. Jiang Mei's voice was a little weak,

"Miss Jiang, Jingling is very close to Xiangyang, right?" Hua Ying approached her, almost crying.

Jiang Mei lowered her eyes and replied indifferently: "Xiangyang is in the north of Jingling, and it is about a day's journey to the fast horse." ”

"I just want to see my father's ......" Hua Ying's voice was so low that only two people could hear her, she covered her mouth and choked up, "And the girl who grew up with me...... Where he died... I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future... Miss Jiang, I ......" Hua Ying's eyes flowed with tears, and her eyebrows were full of hope.

"Good ......" Jiang Mei's heart was unbearable, Hua Ying's simple wish, even if it was a little dangerous, she still decided to fulfill her wish.

"When we settle down in the city, I will send someone to escort you to Xiangyang..."After Jiang Mei said this, she was the first to enter the city gate with her head held high.

So, the others followed. After entering the city, several people got on their horses again and walked slowly.

"Miss, where are we going?" Dongcheng, who was riding on horseback, looked at the vast crowd and asked.

Jingling originally belonged to Xiangyang, 14 years ago after Dayan captured Xiangyang, the Dahuan army retreated to Jingling, since then, Jingling has been the forefront of Dahuan against Dayan, but also the location of the exchange and distribution of goods between the two countries, so the crowd is dense, more and more prosperous.

"Dongcheng, you go and inquire where is the largest inn in Jingling? After inquiring, we will move in. Jiang Mei raised her head and said, not dragging mud and water.

Early this morning, she asked Dongcheng to buy a horse at the post station, and now she is riding a horse slowly and swinging, so comfortable. Of course, she only dared to sit on the horse and walk slowly, and did not dare to run on a horse at all.

Dong Cheng answered, and then dismounted and went to ask. After a while, he led Jiang Mei and the three of them to the largest inn in Jingling, Pinglan Inn. The name of the inn here is taken from the meaning of calming the war and calming the world. It is a portrayal of the wishes of the people of Dahuan who come from south to north. Pinglan Inn is a two-storey wooden loft building with a simple and magnificent style, which is located along the Han River, which is convenient for travelers to stay and rest.

"When do you think this battle will last?" In the Pinglan Inn, a middle-aged man in a gray robe sighed with a frown.

A younger man sitting across from him replied lazily, "We still do our business no matter how long it lasts." ”

The middle-aged man didn't care about him when he saw him, so he didn't pay attention to him at all.

When an old man at the next table heard this, he interjected, "To do business, the world needs to be peaceful, the Yan thief has already stationed troops in Xiangyang, and I will attack Jingling in a few days!" After he finished speaking, he continued to eat the noodles in the bowl, his tone was a little helpless, and there was a black package beside him, which showed that he was preparing to leave Jingling.

Another middle-aged man next door to him continued: "It's only been peaceful for fourteen years, and now it's going to fight again, this General Yuan is a good swallow thief, and he has a good fight with his own people, hey..."

"But no, these Yidi barbarians have occupied the Central Plains of my Dahuan, and now they still want to swallow half of the southern country, if they want to attack Jingling, they will step on us first!" A young man in a black shirt said indignantly.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "pop...", and a tall man with a full mouth of beard stood up and yelled at the man in black shirt: "You dare to call our big swallow disciples Yidi barbarians!" His eyes glared angrily, so he didn't know how to fight. The black-shirted man was taken aback, but he was not intimidated, and replied with his head held high: "Isn't it a bandit that you forcibly occupy our land and kill our ancestors?" ”

The inn was frozen by this tense atmosphere for a while, and many people from Dahuan surrounded the big Yan man, thinking that he must not be allowed to act in Jingling City.

The big Yan man looked at those people with contempt, he didn't pay attention to them at all, thinking that if he didn't teach them a lesson, they wouldn't know how powerful Da Yan was, so he puffed out his cheeks, dragged the black-shirted man with both hands, and lifted him up, "You beg for mercy now, grandpa, I'll let you down..."
