Chapter 128: The Old Capital Asks for Food

Lan Ziyi sulked while riding on the horse, this Qi Rongxun is really annoying, Yumu's head is not open, he is unconscious, and he doesn't listen to people, it's a real headache.

At this time, someone behind Lan Ziyi shouted:

"Now that the city is in chaos, Wei Hou is needed to preside over the overall situation, how can Wei Hou go out of the city at this time?"

Lan Ziyi followed the prestige, it turned out that it was the father and son of the Qiu family who urged the horse to catch up, and it was Qiu Wenruo who spoke just now.

Lan Ziyi's face was still full of anger, and when he saw the arrival of the enemy's father and son, he immediately bowed his hands and asked:

"The two gentlemen weren't injured last night."

Before and after coming to Lan Ziyi, the father and son of the Qiu family and Tao Zhutu hugged each other and saluted, and then Qiu Xiaozhi looked at Lan Ziyi slightly and asked:

"Why is Wei Hou's face so pale?"

Qiu Wenruo asked:

"Why was the general who escaped from the camp last night escorted to the Shenji Camp? If you don't kill him, what's the use of keeping him with the prestige of the army?

Also, why did Wei Hou leave the city at this time? ”

Lan Ziyi let out a long sigh and said:

"You think I want to do that?"

Then Lan Ziyi gave the content of the conversation with Qi Rongxun just now to the father and son of the enemy family,

After listening to Lan Ziyi, Qiu Xiaozhi and Qiu Wenruo both stroked their beards and remained silent.

After a while, Qiu Xiaozhi said:

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Wei Hou not to arrest people in the city."

Lan Ziyi looked up at Qiu Xiaozhi and didn't speak,

Qiu Xiao said directly:

"There are many thieves in the city, so it's too dangerous to leave it like this."

Qiu Wenruo on the side said:

"The city has just been robbed, and killing people all over the city at this time will surely make people panic."

Qiu Xiaozhi says:

"Panic is an acceptable outcome, and if there are still people who are secretly in touch with the thieves, then we are in danger."

Qiu Wenruo says:

"If you don't kill those who escaped from the battle last night, what excuse do you have for the people in the city to sit together?"

Qiu Xiaozhi says:

"Which is more important than the excuse or the safety of Yuzhou City?

There is no excuse to clean up the city, since ancient times, if there are enemies who defend the city, they must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, otherwise the future will be endless, and the Wei Hou will not know if he is familiar with the scriptures and history, and there can be no woman's kindness at this time. β€œ

Lan Ziyi listened to the argument between the father and son, and when he saw Qiu Xiaozhi asking himself directly, he took a breath and said:

"I have already negotiated with Qi Rongxun just now, and I will be on the list and will no longer kill people."

Qiu Xiaozhi listened to the "tsk" and said:

"There is no such thing as guarding the city."

Lan Ziyi was slightly unhappy when he heard Qiu Xiaozhi say this, and replied with a frown:

"Last night, the elite of the thieves was wiped out under the city, and the main force of our army still exists.

Now it's not us who defend, it's the thieves who are defending, as long as we take advantage of the situation to annihilate the thieves, it doesn't matter if there is anyone in the city who collaborates with the enemy. β€œ

Qiu Xiaozhi says:

"Wei Hou, although the contemptible people don't understand the army, they also understand the current truth that the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass,

The forbidden army has no baggage, and the treasury in Yuzhou City is now exhausted, and the grain and grass brought by the two battalions of the Beijing army are only enough for their own use, and they consume a lot all the way, how to supply the whole army? Now there are still people in Yuzhou City waiting to be fed, and we will starve to death before we can attack. β€œ

兰子义 says:

"That's why I'm out of town."

Then Lan Ziyi briefly talked about the results of his discussion with Qi Rongxun, and he was going to take people out of the city to ask for food in nearby cities.

After listening to what Lan Ziyi said, Qiu Wenruo said:

"The Beizhen Army and the river ** are indeed closely connected, but Qi Rongxun's intelligence wants to control the current situation in Yuzhou City, it is too difficult.

Wei Hou left the city at this time, what if something happened in the city? β€œ

Qiu Xiaozhi also said:

"Since the Dai Gong led the army to fall into Yanguan, Beizhen has indeed had a close relationship with the non-Jiangdong scholars in the DPRK, and the relationship with the river ** is particularly close, but a few days ago, Wei Hou just participated in the old capital Luo Yingmin in the court, and there was a lot of movement in the court, Wei Hou went to ask for food at this time, will Luo Yingmin give it?"

Lan Ziyi groaned for a long time and said:

"The military affairs are big, I think Luo Taishou, as an old minister, will not be able to distinguish the priorities of things."

Qiu Xiaozhi says:

"It is indeed a gentleman's act not to be a gentleman for private expense, but how many gentlemen are there in this world?

Luo Yingmin is a shady person, and Wei Hou almost cut off his future, how can he give up? Not everyone is as simple as Qi Rongxun. β€œ

Lan Ziyi's anger has not subsided, and now he is irritable when he listens to the father and son of the enemy family, and he turned around and roared in a low voice

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, but you tell me what to do?"

Qiu Wenruo saw Lan Ziyi angry, lowered his head and sighed,

Qiu Wenruo stared at Lan Ziyi for a while and said:

"If Luo Yingmin is really willing to provide food, you don't need to go by Wei Hou himself, just let the Tao family Lang go,

If Luo Yingmin plans to fall into the well, Wei Hou will bring humiliation on himself.

Now the situation in the city is far from being stable, and when the thieves attacked the city, the forbidden army had to obey the orders of the two marquis, and now the loyalty of the forbidden army is also a problem when the foreign enemy goes

At this time, the guards should sit in the city, ban thieves, appease the people, and the most important thing is to use the aftermath of victory to rearrange the defense of the forbidden army, and firmly hold the military power in their hands, which is the best policy. β€œ

Lan Ziyi was already annoyed at this time and couldn't listen to Qiu Xiaozhi's words, and when he remembered the scene of the quarrel with Qi Rongxun just now, he really wanted to get out of the city quickly, and he didn't want to see the annoying faces of this group of fools in the city anymore.

Lan Ziyi waved his hand and said:

"I have already arranged the forbidden army this morning, General Zhuhu and General Zhulu have already entered the camp to lead the troops, Mr. Xiaozhi does not have to worry.

Please have a big food matter, is there any insistence of the imperial court, how can I show my respect for Luo Taishou if I don't go in person? β€œ

Qiu Xiaozhi sighed and said:

"If Luo Yingmin really has the heart to borrow food, he will naturally understand that the current military situation is urgent, and it will not be too late for Weihou to go when the war is over.

I'm afraid that Wei Hou is just for a moment of personal anger and ignores the overall situation. β€œ

Lan Ziyi was told by Qiu Xiaozhi, and with a buzz in his head, he grabbed the reins in his hand.

At this time, everyone had already walked outside the north gate, and Lan Ziyi suddenly stopped his horse, turned his head and glared at Qiu Xiaozhi with a hideous face and said:

"Qiu Xiaozhi, find out your identity, you are just my staff, what qualifications do you have to care about what I do?"

Qiu Xiao looked at Lan Ziyi with a greasy forehead and said:

"I am a reasonable person who can be assisted by Wei Hou, and he knows everything and speaks endlessly, how can Wei Hou be so rigid and self-serving?"

Seeing that his father and Wei Hou were about to quarrel, Qiu Wenruo hurriedly and secretly pulled Qiu Xiaozhi's clothes, suggesting that his father should not say any more.

Lan Ziyi snorted when he heard this, and said:

"Sir, if you think that my place here is too small to accommodate Mr. Dacai, you can go where you want to go, and you don't need to stay here to bend your talents!

You still have to think about how to share my worries, don't keep thinking about blocking me,

I have made up my mind, and I don't need to say more! β€œ

After saying that, Lan Ziyi raised his whip and urged the horse away, and Tao Zhutu and the two soldiers of the Jihu Battalion followed.

Looking at the smoke and dust in the distance, Qiu Xiaozhi shook his head and sighed,

Qiu Wenruo on the side said:

"Wei Hou's blood is too strong, and he still needs to be trained."

Qiu Xiaozhi says:

"It's okay, the jade can't be cut, it's just a bad experience."

Lan Ziyi took Tao Zhutu and the two soldiers of the Tiger Battalion to run wildly all the way, and ran out of Yuzhou City until several other soldiers of the Tiger Battalion sent by Wei Qionglou followed.

Lan Ziyi urged the horse to run for a long time, and the running horse gasped before slowing down.

Thinking about it carefully, Lan Ziyi was indeed a little angry with others just now, originally angry with Qi Rongxun, and what the father and son of the enemy family said is still very reasonable to reflect on.

Alas, they are all out of town, and it is useless to think about so much.

Earlier, in the city, Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu had been mixed into the forbidden army, so there should be no problems in doing so. The most important thing at the moment is to think about how to get food from Luo Yingmin.

Lan Ziyi took a group of people to hurry up and rushed to Xu County that night.

After learning that it was Lan Ziyi who came, the county order of Xu County was quite polite, and he entertained Lan Ziyi and them well in the evening.

However, when Lan Ziyi proposed to ask Xu County to transport grain and supplies to Yuzhou City, the county decree said that Xu County had no surplus grain in order to supply the Nuonuo Battle of the Northern Expedition at the beginning of the year, and there was no written document from the imperial court or a holy decree requiring Xu County to provide grain, so he did not agree to Lan Ziyi.

Lan Ziyi talked to the county order for a long time about the urgency of the military situation, there was no food in Yuzhou City, and the forbidden army and the people were in danger, but the county order just listened and laughed, and still refused for the reason just now.

Hearing this kind of news, Lan Ziyi was of course disappointed, but Lan Ziyi did not give up, and asked the county order where the surrounding prefectures and counties had food for the military.

The county order said that the entire river ** was already empty, and it was impossible to supply the officials and troops of Yuzhou. Even if there is, there is no will of the imperial court, and no one dares to take food privately.

In the end, the county order couldn't help Lan Ziyi's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he said to Lan Ziyi:

"Xia Guan is just a seven-grade county order, and he can't manage anything, Wei Hou really asked for grain to either go to the capital, or go to the old capital to find Luo Taishou, Xia Guan is really powerless."

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he understood that there was no hope of finding food in Xu County, so he went to the guest room to rest after a few polite words with the county order.

Sleepless night.

At dawn the next day, as soon as the city gate was opened, Lan Ziyi led people to hurry away, and traveled on the road for two days, arriving at the old capital in the evening of the fourth day.

Originally, Lan Ziyi looked at the sun and thought that the gate of the old capital should not be closed, but he didn't expect the city gate to be closed urgently when Lan Ziyi and they first arrived in the city.

Lan Ziyi and the others were blocked outside the city, and Tao Zhutu craned his neck and shouted to the defenders of the city:

"Why did you close the gates of the city before the sun set?"

The defenders of the city shouted:

"The thieves went north, and the river thieves got up when they heard the wind,

In order to prevent traitors and villains from taking the opportunity to make trouble, they must close the city gate as soon as possible to eliminate hidden dangers. β€œ

Peach Chase Rabbit shouted:

"Here is the vanguard commander Weiting Hou Lan Ziyi, not a thief,

Open the city gate quickly, the guard has something important to discuss with you Luo Taishou. β€œ

The defenders replied:

"It's too dark for us to see who you are,

It is taboo to open the city gate at night, and if you officers and soldiers do not understand, if there is anything important, wait until the city gate is opened tomorrow. β€œ

Tao Zhutu still wanted to shout, but was stopped by Lan Ziyi,

兰子义 says:

"The city gate is closed, and it must not be opened without permission, forget it."

摃追兔 says:

"But before the sun sets, why did they close the gates?"

兰子义 says:

"Thieves are strong, it doesn't hurt to be careful."

Peach Rabbit asked:

"And what about tonight?"

兰子义 says:

"Let's camp."

So that night, Lan Ziyi and his party camped outside the gate of the old capital, because they were in a hurry, Lan Ziyi and they did not bring camping equipment, so many people had to shrink under the city and gnaw dry food, and spent the night with the cold wind in the middle of the night.

By the next day, the sun had shone on the whole city, and the gates of the old capital were still not opened.

The peach rabbit was greatly annoyed, and shouted to the tower of the city gate:

"It's already dawn, why don't you open the door yet?"

The defenders of the gates replied:

"You are stubborn, I am afraid that you are gangsters, and we cannot open the city gates."

Peach Rabbit scolded:

"Are you blind? We are the official army, and next to it is Weiting Hou Lan Ziyi, ask you Luo Taishou to come out and see, where did the villains come from? β€œ

The defender replied:

"We don't know any Wei Tinghou, but we are just forbidden to rape and put an end to chaos on the orders of Taishou!"

Tao Zhutu still wanted to scold, but was pulled by Lan Ziyi, and when he turned around, he found that Lan Ziyi bit his lip and said:

"Luo Yingmin holds a grudge, I really humiliated myself!"
