Chapter 203: Urgent Report
A little time in Kaifeng Mansion is a rare leisure time for Wanyankang. Lu Chengfeng's arrival made Wan Yankang more free, and he introduced several subordinates who were responsible for finding people to Lu Chengfeng, and explained that Lu Chengfeng would be solely responsible for this matter in the future.
In this way, in addition to the necessary martial arts cultivation every day, Wan Yankang chatted with Lu Chengfeng and his son every day, tasted poetry and painting, and traveled beautifully.
Happy days always pass very quickly, and after Yan Kang's life, he may not be able to enjoy a few days of happiness. On the fifth day of Lu Chengfeng's arrival in Kaifeng Mansion, an urgent report came from Pegasus in northern Xinjiang, and when Yan Kang opened the letter, his face immediately sank like water.
"Someone, prepare a horse for me!" Wan Yankang crumpled the letter into shreds of paper and immediately gave the order.
"Order!" The guards in the palace knew the temper of the master, and did not dare to say a word, and immediately ran to the back stable.
Wan Yankang called the housekeeper and Lu Chengfeng, and explained that he had something important to do, and he wanted to leave immediately, and all the affairs in the house after he left were mainly Lu Chengfeng.
Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Lu Chengfeng said with concern: "Senior brother, if it is useful to Lu, just open your voice!" ”
Wan Yankang shook his head lightly and smiled: "Senior brother, I understand the kindness of my heart, there is a little mess in Northern Xinjiang, and it is not a big deal." With that, he took his belongings, packed two changes of clothes, and flew on his horse, galloping away to the Northlands.
"Tian Dali and the tiger and leopard brothers killed people, and they should be beheaded according to the law, but Xu did not dare to be proficient. The city is unstable, the morale of the army is floating, I hope you will return quickly! ”
The content of the Pegasus urgent letter kept emerging in Wan Yankang's heart, and he urged the horse fast, and the oncoming wind could not blow the anxiety in his heart at all.
Although Xu Daosheng is a literati, he is also proficient in military affairs, and for more than ten years, he has worked very well with Wu Shiman and other military generals, and the divine soldiers and cadets are all students taught by him. Wan Yankang handed over White Horse City to Xu Daosheng before leaving, he was very relieved, he felt that even if he was a hands-off shopkeeper for a year and a half, nothing could go wrong.
How do you know that this has only been a month away, and such a thing has happened!
Damn Tian Dali!
Damn Wanyan Tiger, Wanyan Leopard!
What a disaster these three fools have caused! Wan Yankang slapped the horse and galloped, while constantly scolding angrily in his heart.
In army building, the spirit of the army is the most important thing, and the fluctuating spirit of the army is really a major matter of great importance. The messenger Pegasus galloped from White Horse City to Kaifeng Mansion, traveling day and night, exhausting several horses and spending eight days. Wan Yankang was in a hurry, and he hurried away, during which he repeatedly dismounted and galloped, giving the horses rest, and so on, five days later, when it was about to fall at night, he finally rushed to White Horse City.
Wanyan Kang rode his horse to two hundred feet below the White Horse City, and found that the city gate was closed, and his heart was even tighter. In order to facilitate trade, he ordered the gates of White Horse to be closed at one hour after nightfall during non-war periods. In this way, those merchants who came in a hurry, if they were only a little short of time, would be spared from sleeping outside the city.
This humane policy ushered in the chorus of businessmen from all over the world, and according to the previous rules, White Horse City should not be closed at this time. Now that things are abnormal, Wan Yankang is worried that there will be changes in the city, so he did not approach the door. He turned over and dismounted, sneaked under the city wall, and made the gecko swim against the wall, and entered the city without a sound.
After Yan Kang entered the city, he sneaked around and observed, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The situation in the city is mostly the same, with the commercial areas brightly lit and the residential areas sparkling.
If there is a difference, there are more sergeants patrolling the streets, and the density of patrols is higher.
After observing the establishment, Yan Kang withdrew and went to the center of the city.
With the sound of beating and watching, the time was approaching, and in the courtyard of the East Wing of the Young Marshal's Mansion in White Horse City, there was still a room with lights on. Xu Daosheng sat in front of the desk, holding a wolf pen, sketching on the paper one by one.
"Teacher, it's cold in the north, so you have to put on some clothes."
A familiar voice came, Xu Daosheng was taken aback, and when he looked back, he saw that Yan Kang was holding a mink fur and put it on himself.
"If your sneaky kung fu is used to be a thief, you will definitely not run away in the world!" Xu Daosheng took a sip angrily, he tied the door to the room and wrote alone in the room, and only after finishing Yan Kang's work could he open the door silently.
"If I want to be a big thief, then I must be a thief all over the world!" Wan Yankang gently hugged Xu Daosheng and joked with a smile.
Xu Daosheng stood up, turned his head to face Yan Kang, stretched out his hand and nodded his forehead and scolded: "You are the shopkeeper, you went out merry and happy by yourself, and lost such a big mess as a teacher." If you want to be a thief, you can't do it if you want to be a flower thief! ”
Wan Yankang stretched out his finger and said in a shhhed voice: "Teacher, this late midnight, flower picking thief or something, you can't talk nonsense, it will ruin the reputation of the students." ”
After Yan Kang's gag, Xu Daosheng's original heart was more than half anxious, he threw the wolf pen on the table, and said lazily: "Since you, the main master, are back, don't bother me with headaches." ”
Wan Yankang knew that Xu Daosheng was going to talk about business, so he brought over a chair, sat on the opposite side, and put away his smile: "Teacher, what's the situation?" ”
Xu Daosheng sat down and began to talk about what had happened recently.
After Wan Yan Kang left White Horse City, about half a month later, the two brothers Wan Yan Hu and Wan Yan Leopard came to White Horse City together, claiming that they wanted to join the army.
These two lived in Zhao Wangfu for a few years when they were young, and they also studied with Xu Daosheng, so they have a bit of friendship between teachers and students. This time in White Horse City, the two respectfully came to meet Xu Daosheng, explained their intentions, and brought a handwritten letter from King Rong Wanyan Hongxi.
Wan Yan Hongxi said that his two sons were stubborn and sent to White Horse City, hoping that Wan Yan Kang, the eldest brother, could help to discipline and discipline the two brothers, so that the tiger and leopard brothers could polish their temperament, so that his uncle was naturally grateful.
If the two brothers Yan Hu and Wan Yan Leopard are stubborn by nature, they will be a little wronged. These two people are not like other princes and grandsons in the central capital, bullying men and women all day long, fighting cocks and lackeys. The lives of the two brothers, Wanyan Hu and Wanyan Leopard, are very simple, and they generally do three things all day long.
Eat and sleep and beat beanie!
Eat, these two people are full foodies, and it is not a problem for one person to eat three or five people. If it is an ordinary family, it is necessary to feed these two people, but the fact that the amount of food is not a matter for Rongwangfu. If you eat, sleep well, when these two brothers reach adulthood, they are already a long tiger's back and bear waist, and anyone who looks at it must boast of a sentence: What a fierce embryo!
It's good to be able to eat and sleep, but it's not so pleasant to hit beans!
The two brothers' mothers died early, and they didn't deal with their stepmothers when they were young, and when Wanyan Hongxi went to Mongolia, he was very uneasy to send them to Zhao Wangfu for a few years. After Yan Hongxi took the two brothers back to King Rong's mansion, there have been riots in the mansion since then, and the two brothers have been beating beans for three days.
Who is Doudou? A half-brother can be Doudou, a stepmother's maid can be Doudou, and the guards who obey the stepmother's orders in the house can also be Doudou. If it weren't for the extreme importance of filial piety in these years, the two would not dare to be too presumptuous, and Princess Rong might have played the role of Doudou a few times.
Every time he finished beating Doudou, Wanyan Hongxi had to teach the tiger and leopard brothers a hard lesson, wanting them not to do it again. But when these two people reach the age of fifteen, the general guards in the house, ten or eight together, can capture these two concubines.
After another two or three years, the two of them have grown up completely, and there is almost no one to control!
When Wan Yan Hongxi learned that Wan Yan Kang was building a city in the Northland two years earlier, he had the idea of throwing these two stupid sons to White Horse City. But at that time, the new construction of White Horse City was still unknown, and if something happened, Wanyan Hongxi was still heartbroken after all.
Until Wan Yankang won the battle of the Tata tribe!
Wanyan Hongxi and Wanyan Honglie proclaimed Mongolia together in his early years, and he was familiar with almost all the famous tribes on the steppe. In his impression, the warriors of these tribes of Tamu are brave enough, and the other party's 20,000 elite cavalry is coming, and with the combat power of the golden soldiers, there are no more than 50,000 elite soldiers.
How do you know that Wan Yankang only relied on more than 10,000 recruits, not only defending White Horse City, but also defeating and losing the incoming offenders.
When the news of this great victory reached the ears of the dignitaries and nobles of the Jin Kingdom, many people couldn't believe it at first, and only thought that it was the result of the great battle of Wanyan Kangkua.
What everyone thinks is that victory should be victory, it may be that Wan Yankang, the little white face, is lucky, and somehow killed the Khan of the Tamu tribe, but the actual situation may only kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000 yourself.
The military situation reported by Wan Yankang was that the enemy was defeated by 20,000 horsemen, and more than half of the White Horse City was damaged, so he asked the imperial court to replenish his soldiers and horses. Wan Yankang has already exaggerated his own battle losses by saying this, and he is worried that everyone in the DPRK and China will cause all kinds of incidents if they think that their army is too strong.
After the emperor finished Yan Jing's report, he was also very happy, and put aside the suspicion that Wan Yankang might not be his own grandson, and gathered for a civil and military banquet for three days.
Of course, after the feast, when Wanyan Honglie mentioned Wanyan Kang's request to replenish the soldiers and horses for White Horse City again, the emperor Lao'er began to hold Wanyan Honglie's hand, and said miserably how the treasury was empty and how the various fronts were tight.
In the end, Wan Yanjing symbolically allocated thousands of people's money and food, plus 100 taels of gold, to encourage Wan Yankang to make persistent efforts in White Horse City and make some achievements.
Wanyan Honglie knew that because of Wanyankang's life experience, his father and son had fallen out of favor. Wan Yan Kang's identity could not be verified for a day, Hugh said that there was no hope of inheriting the unification, and Wan Yan Honglie's father and son would not want to reap any benefits in front of the emperor in the future.
But Wanyan Hongxi is happy, his eldest nephew is so good, White Horse City has gained a firm foothold in the grassland, and at this time, throwing the two stupid sons over, personal safety will definitely not be a problem.
For this reason, His Royal Highness King Rong also personally paid out of his pocket and sent excellent armor enough to equip 2,000 people.
Wanyan Hu and Wanyan Leopard came to White Horse City with a batch of equipment, and were naturally welcomed by the city's civil and military mezzanine.
But it was a trouble for these two brothers to join the army.
In Xu Daosheng's mind, most of the two brothers also brought the task of investigating the reality of White Horse City, and as Wanyan Hongxi said, he would never want to put the two in the barracks to polish.
Facing the hoband and leopard brothers who were full of interest, Xu Daosheng said with a smile: "Such a major event can only be decided when the young marshal returns." ”
