Chapter 720: Good News
At the end of October, the first snow fell in Yongxi, which made Yongxi, who had been lively for several months, realize that winter had arrived.
In this era, a lot will change when winter comes.
The biggest change is that the battle situation in Liangzhou is cooling down, the intensity of the battle has calmed down, and it may not be long before there will be a truce.
The colder the weather, the less favorable it is for combat.
The Hu people came to plunder, and the reason for the plunder was due to lack of supplies.
Although there has not been much success in the battle so far, and the two armies are in a state of stalemate, but they must have come from afar to be unbearable for the Hu people first.
Therefore, anyone can conclude that it will not be far from the withdrawal of the Hu people.
And Yongxi's judgment of the battle situation, although it cannot be said to be devastating, but the news that the middle and high-level of the sect have been wiped out is still a great morale of the White Lotus Sect thief army.
Not only that, but this move also disrupted its established strategy, causing some radicals to leave its consular area with their troops and go straight to Luyang to kill their sect leader.
This kind of divisive move further weakened the overall strength of the White Lotus Sect army, so much so that when they were unfavorable in battle, its main force was surrounded in the city of Pingyuan Mansion.
In other words, the next step is to wait and kill the White Lotus Sect army in Pingyuan City.
Therefore, the tone set by the Yongxi Dusi was to wait, and it was strictly forbidden for any guard to launch an attack without authorization, Yan Jinsheng now just wanted to shoot the White Lotus Sect army to death in Pingyuan in the safest way.
On the ninth day of November, another heavy snowfall came.
In the main hall of the Chen Mansion, the father and son were sitting opposite each other drinking tea, and in the front yard of the hall were flying snowflakes.
"The snow is really heavy, I don't know how many thieves will freeze to death last night!" Chen Xiaolin put down the teacup, rather gloating.
However, he didn't get a response to his words, Chen Xiaoting was fiddling with the tea leaves with the tea lid, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his head.
I only heard Chen Dayong say: "If the thief dies, he will die, it's a pity that Pingyuan City will be harmed, and he will definitely be harmed by them!" ”
has been blocked for almost half a month, and there is not much food in Pingyuan Mansion, so it can afford tens of thousands of rebels to eat in it.
Regardless of the small door inside, they must have been robbed clean, and maybe even the house was demolished and burned with firewood.
"Fortunately, our Guangde is not a big deal, it has nothing to do with us!" Chen Xiaolin said with a smile.
He was still laughing at this time, and after Chen Dayong glared at his youngest son, he asked his eldest son: "Xiaoting, how long do you think it will take for these thieves to be suppressed?" ”
Chen Xiaoting woke up from his thoughts at this time, but it was difficult for him to answer this question, so he could only vaguely say: "I think it should be soon!" ”
"I haven't been back to Guangde for a long time, and I don't know how those old guys are!" Chen Dayong said in remembrance.
For him, although Luyang City is lively, he is definitely comfortable living in Guangde, because there are his friends for many years.
"Dad, don't worry, Guangde has always been safe, and the uncles are doing well!" Chen Xiaoting said with a smile.
At this moment, Chen Xiaolin's wife, Wang Yuyan, came out of the back hall and said respectfully: "Dad, lunch has been prepared!" ”
Chen Dayong nodded, compared to his eldest daughter-in-law, he still felt that Wang Yuyan was easier to get along with, and Shen Yi, the capital, had brought him too much pressure.
At this time, Chen Dayong glanced at Chen Xiaolin, and then said: "Don't hurry up and help your daughter-in-law, someone can have your child in their belly!" ”
Chen Xiaolin hurriedly got up, came to his wife's side and carefully supported him, although he felt that it was useless to do so, he still did what his father wanted.
"Let's go, let's eat first!" Chen Xiaoting also got up and said.
Chen Dayong nodded again and again, but his face was smiling, the Chen family has developed more and more, and now he is full of children and grandchildren, so naturally he has eaten honey in his heart.
When I came to the back hall, I saw that a large table inside was already full of all kinds of dishes.
Because the Chen family started from the commoners, there are not so many rules in this kind of daily meal, even if Xu Youhui and Zheng Xuan'er are concubines, they can be served.
As a junior, Zheng Xuaner took the initiative to hand the chopsticks to Chen Da with two mouths.
The relationship between Chen Dayong and Zheng Jian is irreversible, so Zheng Xuan'er, the daughter of the old brother, is the most liked by Chen Dayong and his wife.
The adults sat at the big table, and Chen Xiaoting's children were at the table next to them, and the maidservants were led to eat.
…………
Yongxi Dusi Yamen, compared to the previous tense atmosphere, is now much more relaxed inside.
Everyone knows that the current White Lotus Sect anti-thieves are at the end of their crossbows, and now it's time to completely sweep them away.
"On this snowy day, how long can those thieves of the White Lotus Sect last?"
In the back hall of the Yamen of the Dusi Division, a commander initiated a dialogue, and several bigwigs of the Yamen rarely got together in the past few days.
This is not a joke, Yan Jinsheng sent his comrades and servants out in order to urge the guards to fight.
Because there will be no major changes in the front-line battle situation, the bigwigs rushed back to Lu Yang, after all, no one wants to suffer on the front line.
"In my opinion, the thieves will be defeated in November!" Another servant said in a deep voice.
Finally, Yan Jinsheng, who was sitting at the top, raised his head and said with a serious expression: "Everyone, don't be too happy, the Governor's Mansion and the Military Department of the Five Armies can give us a death order!" ”
"The White Lotus Sect must be completely suppressed years ago, otherwise...... Let's take these people again, but we all have to eat hard food! ”
After all these things, Yan Jinsheng no longer has such an optimistic mood, and now he only hopes to have a good year.
So after he said this, the relaxed atmosphere in the room diluted a lot.
As long as the White Lotus Sect is not destroyed for a day, as Yan Jinsheng said, they may all be prisoners.
Moreover, even if the White Lotus Sect could be suppressed within the time limit, the problems exposed by the Yongxi Dusi in this turmoil could make their lives very difficult.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency...... Pingyuan has won a great victory! ”
Hearing this conversation, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed, and Yan Jinsheng stood up directly.
At this time, a hundred households had already rushed in with the paperwork, knelt on the ground and shouted: "My lord, good news has come from Pingyuan, the traitors of the White Lotus Sect have been defeated!" ”
Yan Jinsheng hurriedly took two steps forward, and immediately opened it after taking the paperwork.
Baihu, who knelt in front of him, continued: "Early yesterday morning, there was a civil strife in Pingyuan City, and our army feint...... The army inside the layer collapsed directly, and our army won without a fight! ”
After being besieged for such a long time, with the city severely lacking supplies and hopeless, it was not surprising that the White Lotus Sect had been defeated.
"Yes, yes!" Yan Jinsheng said again and again.
At this time, he had already worked hard to investigate, and those people in the guard did not obey his orders and sent troops to attack the city without authorization.
"My lord, since we are so happy, let's immediately send someone to spread the word to the city!" A conductor next to him said.
Yan Jinsheng nodded and said, "Okay...... Hurry up and do it! ”
Well, now that the White Lotus Sect is suppressed, then his biggest crisis will be lifted, and he is naturally worth rejoicing.
Even Yan Jinsheng had a feeling of rebirth, only to see him put the paperwork aside, and then said to the hundred households in front of him: "Go back and tell the people in the guards, let them not let go of a thief, and quickly recover all the lost cities!" ”
The White Lotus Sect not only occupied one Pingyuan, but there were also a few other county towns, which were also occupied by their small forces.
"Yes!"
