1203 Follow-up
If you want to be noble before men, you must suffer later! This truth remains unchanged through the ages!
When he woke up this time, after spending time with his wife and daughter, Xiao Han soon fell asleep again.
Unlike the last time, this time he slept for two days and one night.
And just when Xiao Han was asleep, the outside world was still changing, and a lot of things were still quietly happening.
The invading thieves were defeated and fled, but the war could not be regarded as a complete end.
From noon on this day, except for the newly joined Wang Wuyi and his entourage rangers, the other Yangzhou city soldiers almost all the troops were dispatched, and after leaving the city, they chased and killed all the way in the direction of the thieves' escape.
It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord!
can achieve the position of the governor of Yangzhou, Cui Jingzhi is definitely not a straw bag, on the contrary, he is still an extremely intelligent person.
It's just that there was a thorn on the top of his head before, and Cui Jingzhi can only watch many things, not do them!
Now that the top of his head was suddenly empty, he was like a good horse who had loosened the reins, and even his vision became broader.
Wang Wu's statement and the investigation of his cronies have already determined one point: the defeat of the thieves who attacked this time is already a foregone conclusion!
But now the problem is: many villages and even small towns outside, they don't know all this, and they are still under intense defense!
So Cui Jingzhi, who had been asleep for a while, woke up and quickly thought: If he sent troops to search for the traces of thieves at this time, and at the same time notified all cities and counties along the way, then when these state capitals wrote after the war, should they take him with them?
So, in order to grab the credit...... Ahem, it's to rescue the brother city that is still in dire straits as soon as possible! Under Cui Jingzhi's order, the only remaining soldiers in the city were scattered like beans in a dustpan, and they were all scattered!
For a time, the soldiers who were stimulated by the big victory were like chicken-blooded soldiers filling the mountains and fields outside the city, not to mention, they really caught a few frightened thieves, and then returned to the city with great power.
There is no doubt that after the soldiers who caught the thieves returned to the city, they all became heroes in the limelight! The cheers were even louder than last night's!
This kind of treatment, and countless people who have seen it are itching, secretly summed it up, and followed out of the city to arrest people!
Later, even Wang Wu, who was resting in the post house, couldn't sit still, gritted their teeth, and didn't wait to beg Xiao Han, they joined the government soldiers in advance, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to get a little more military merit.
As for the words that he said at the beginning that he would never go to the battlefield again? What the? Did he say that?
All day today, the entire Yangzhou city is inexplicably busy, the soldiers are busy, the government is busy, and the people are also busy!
In the morning, countless people rushed out of the city.
In the evening, the men came back in the dark.
It's just that, unlike the excitement when they went, their faces were a little pale at this time!
Even a lot of old people with long beards still have a little filth hanging on their beards, as if they have just vomited?
"Brother An, I can't walk!"
In the procession back to the city, the bamboo pole followed behind Wang Chong'an with soft steps, and the whole person was as if he had been drained of his spirit, sick, as if he could fall to the ground in the next step.
Thirty miles, he walked for half a day!
What kind of donkey cart, ox cart, he saw it, but not only did it have a ticket, but even the ticket was full! Even more often, even the children are crowded on the back of the donkey, and the poor donkey is tired and screams, how can there be a place for him to sit?
Don't think about rubbing the car, let's go!
When they finally got to the place, they sat on the ground with a bamboo pole and said to eat first, and the eight-treasure porridge they took at home was fragrant!
But damn Wang Chong'an, if it is not such a little distance, they can enjoy food on the battlefield while singing praises to the Hou Ye's merits!
Okay, the bamboo pole couldn't scare him, and he dragged him to the battlefield, but after seeing everything on the battlefield......
Hey, and enjoy the food?
As soon as they saw the red and white porridge mixed in the jar, they almost vomited all the bitter gall on the spot! It is estimated that long after that, they will both have a deep fear of red and white objects.
Xiao Han and they didn't have the time to clean up, and Cui Jingzhi was busy grabbing the merit and forgot about it, so this Shura land has been quietly displayed here, so that those who rushed to see the most real battlefield! also has a more intuitive understanding of Xiao Han's victory!
The battlefield was kept here for many days, until Yang Wenwen was rewarded, and then he mobilized the village bravery, dug down the explosion crater, and then buried all the corpses in it.
The pit where 10,000 people were buried was filled up, and the dried blood stains were shoveled away, but later I heard from the nearby villagers that when this valley was cloudy or at night, there would be a terrible scream, as if there were powerful ghosts asking for their lives!
And the vendors passing by also proved that they did hear strange movements as they passed through here! It's creepy!
Under such two confirmations, this nearest road to Yangzhou City soon became sparsely populated, and in the end, it was completely abandoned!
Those who rushed to Yangzhou would rather take a detour of more than ten miles from the east than cross this valley!
Even if Xiao Han later stood up and clarified, saying that it was just a night or a cloudy day, and the wind whistled when the north wind blew through the valley, no one would believe it!
A good land has finally lost its population and has become a world of jackals and foxes.
Of course, these are all later words, so I won't mention them here.
Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty!
Cui Jingzhi's eight-hundred-mile expedited has not yet arrived in Luoyang, and Xiaohai, the palace attendant, already holds a secret letter about the Battle of Yangzhou!
Lowering his head and carefully identifying the logo of the secret letter, Xiao Hai's heart immediately froze, and he didn't care about the palace ban in the middle of the night, and hurriedly ran towards the emperor's bedroom.
"Erlang, it's not early, it's time to rest!"
In the warm dormitory, the eldest grandson slowly walked from behind Su Sha to Li Shimin, who was still buried in the case, and called softly.
"Oh? Guanyin is here? What time is it? Li Shimin heard the voice of the eldest grandson, and finally raised his head from the pile of recitals and smiled reluctantly.
"It's already early days, Erlang hurry up and rest, tomorrow will be early." The eldest grandson whispered as he stretched out his hand and gently massaged Li Shimin's temples.
My husband has always had a headache, especially after he ascended the throne as the emperor, the headache became more and more severe, and many imperial doctors, including Sun Simiao, said that it was caused by fatigue and needed to recuperate.
However, the eldest grandson himself also knows that as the king of a country, his husband's major affairs in the world are all tied to him alone, so how can he recuperate?
