Chapter 101: Xiao Gu enters Beijing
There was a ragged woman outside the gate of Ganzhou, who had no identity papers. The soldiers guarding the city gate saw her pitiful, presumably fleeing the famine and coming to Ganzhou to join their relatives, and did not embarrass the woman into the city.
After entering the city, the woman inquired about the location of the Ganzhou General's Mansion, and there was a hateful look in her eyes. All eight people in the ambush Guo Li and his party died that day, and there were only eight corpses when Xiao Gu arrived. Xiao Gu dug a big pit and buried all eight of them. One of them wrote a few words under his body: Princess Woo Xi General... Based on these words, Xiao Gu guessed that the person who killed Murong Wenbo might be the princess and the general of the Xi.
Xiao Gu and Murong Wenbo couldn't talk about deep emotions.
Xiao Gu was sold into the Qinglou since he was a child, and as time passed, Xiao Gu became more and more pitiful. The silver in the Qinglou will not support idlers, and Qingqi like Xiao Gu will naturally be sold at a price. After the geranium came, Xiao Gu understood that the good days were coming to an end. Finally, Skeletal turned fourteen. After changing into fresh clothes, putting on earrings, necklaces, and dressing up, the bustard handed over the first night of Xiao Gu to a fifty-year-old businessman. The Qinglou woman on the grassland, once she breaks her body, will face thousands of riders. Xiao Gu was scared to death, and he felt sick when he saw Shang Jia's big belly. Xiao Gu wants to escape, but where does the grassland flee to?
A son appeared and redeemed himself for Xiao Gu to keep Xiao Gu's innocence. Xiao Gu later learned that this prince was the steward of Murong Mansion, and the entire grassland of Tuyuhun belonged to the Murong family. Xiao Gu thought that he could live a carefree life from now on, and he didn't have to live the same days of worry and fear as before. Unexpectedly, this son was not interested in Xiao Gu at all, and he redeemed her for her, but he liked her appearance and wanted her to serve Murong Xihao, the son of Murong Xihao, the son of Murong Mansion, and use her to win the favor of the son and seek greater power.
Xiao Gu gave up and accepted his fate. How many good people are there in this world? When the young man and woman killed Murong Wenbo, Xiao Gu still had a faint sense of pleasure in his heart, when Murong Wenbo died in his arms, Xiao Gu was sad that there were no relatives around him. Xiao Gu told Murong Wenbo's people about Murong Wenbo's death, and then told Murong Xihao. Who knew that Murong Xihao was surprisingly calm when he heard the news of his death, and he had no intention of avenging Murong Wenbo at all. Xiao Gu set off with Murong Xihao, thinking that something was wrong, and quietly slipped away on the way. Xiao Gu wanted to avenge Murong Wenbo, just to end his previous life. No matter how bad Murong Wenbo was, at least he rescued her from the fire pit. Therefore, Xiao Gu knew that the enemy might be the princess and the general of the west, so he still ran to Ganzhou to look for an opportunity to see if he could avenge Murong Wenbo.
Little Bone takes revenge just to end his former life.
Xiao Gu stayed near the Ganzhou General's Mansion, monitoring the General's Mansion's every move. In the past few days, except for a pair of young boys and girls who have left the palace, few people in the general's mansion have gone out. Occasionally, soldiers would come in and out, and Xiao Gu saw it and hurriedly dodged. Xiao Gu's current appearance is similar to that of a man named Hanako, ragged and unkempt.
……
Guo Li didn't know that there was an enemy outside the mansion, and he was thinking about how to take Ningcheng at the moment. Ningcheng and Rongxian are about the same size and belong to small towns. If there are few enemies in the city, Guo Lida can dig a tunnel by breaking through Saizhou, and wait for the city wall to collapse and attack the city. There are tens of thousands of Tubo army horses outside Ningcheng, and if you want to recover Ningcheng, you must first deal with the Tubo army outside the city.
Li Guangbi finally came with good news and set fire to the grain and grass that had been transported to Ningcheng.
In the Ganzhou General's Mansion, all the soldiers gathered together. These days, there has been a lot of discussion in the army about this general who is seeking the west, what accompanies the sisters every day to have fun, what is as timid as a mouse and does not dare to fight, Jianhu also beat a soldier who spread rumors. Today, General Xi ordered to gather all the generals, I don't know what to do?
Ben Shuai received news that Li Guangbi led his army to burn the grain and grass that Tubo had transported to Ningcheng. Today, the 50,000 troops in Tibet have no food and grass, and the army's morale is unstable. All the soldiers went with Ben Shuai to recover Ningcheng. ”
Only then did the soldiers know that Guo Li had been playing with the idea of the other party's grain and grass.
"Wang Shouzhen obeyed the order: ordered General Wang to lead 30,000 horses from his headquarters to attack the 30,000 soldiers outside the city of Tubo, and he only needed to win and not lose."
Wang Shouzhen received the order. 30,000 against 30,000, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are far better than Tibet.
"Gao Jicoop listened to the order, and ordered General Gao to lead 10,000 elite cavalry to wait for the defeat and retreat of Tubo outside the city, General Gao followed to cover and kill, and must follow into the city when the city gate was opened, and not be in a hurry to strangle."
High coop ordered. This kind of robbery while the fire is hot, and the high chicken coop really likes to do it.
"Mo Yan listened to the order, and ordered you to lead 10,000 Hui soldiers to go around to an ambush fifty miles west of Ningcheng, and attack and cover up when Tubo fled."
Grinding inkstone sip order. Obviously, the errand of beating the water dog, Lord Guo did not take back the people as cannon fodder, and Mo Yan was already very grateful.
The army assembled and set out.
The yellow sand was rolling and the ground shook.
Wang Shouzhen led 30,000 elite cavalry like heavenly soldiers down to the outside of Ningcheng City, and confronted the 30,000 elite cavalry of Tubo.
Battlefield battles are inevitable for both sides.
The Tubo people were short of food and eager to attack, and the Ganzhou soldiers were suppressed by Guo Li for several days, and they had long been holding back their anger. The trumpets of both sides sounded, and the heavens and the earth changed color.
The two sides started a fight outside Ningcheng.
Wang Shouzhen is worthy of being familiar with military books, and the arrangement of troops is not ambiguous at all. Ordered 10,000 troops to step forward to meet the attack, and the other 20,000 troops outflanked from both flanks, and soon the defeat of the Tubo people was revealed. The Tubo people of Ningcheng opened the city gate and 10,000 cavalry came out of the city before they stabilized the formation. Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a group of 1,000 elite horsemen suddenly entered the battlefield. Each of these 1,000 people held a Tang knife, and took advantage of the momentum of the horse's advance to swing the knife and cut it without fighting. Soon, a gap was opened in the formation of the Tibetan army, and the trend of rout was gradually revealed. Gao Jicoop seized the opportunity and ordered 10,000 horsemen in Liangzhou to rush into the gap, tearing a large hole dozens of zhang wide into the Tubo formation.
The Tibetan people are gone.
The Tubo general of Ningcheng, Xi Molang, saw that the tens of thousands of horses under the city were divided and surrounded by the Tang army, and sooner or later they were defeated. Immediately ordered Ming Jin to collect troops and open the city gate, and the high chicken coop bit the tail of the Tubo people, and seized the city gate to enter the city. The Tubo people fled, and tens of thousands of Tang soldiers chased the Tubo soldiers and horses out of Ningcheng for dozens of miles. Along the way, corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed.
Ningcheng recovered!
Simoloen fled for fifty miles, and the shouts of killing behind him gradually disappeared. Simorang was also a famous general in the Tibetan army, and the defeat in this battle was mainly due to the instability of the army that was robbed of grain and grass. Simorang gathered the remnants of the army on the spot, 50,000 Tibetan soldiers, and only more than 7,000 escaped. Simorang always believed that the war in Tibet had achieved its goal when Tuyuhun returned to Tibet. Tuyuhun's rebellion caused the anger of the Tang Dynasty, and an irreparable rift arose between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty. Who knew that the commander Shang Zanlu led an army of 200,000 neither to attack the Tang County nor to retreat, and it was already very difficult to supply after capturing Ningcheng, and the Tang army burned the grain and grass carts twice. All this was over, and Simorang looked at the seven thousand remnants in front of him, thinking that he would face Shang Zandu's wrath when he returned.
Just as Simorang was about to give the order to retreat, a team of men and horses suddenly appeared. The leader is obviously not a Tang soldier.
Hui people?
Ximolang knew that there were many Hui people in the capital of Tubo. I didn't expect to encounter an ambush by the Hui people today. The 7,000 remnants of the soldiers who had just been gathered were discouraged and had no fighting spirit, and Simorang, under the escort of his personal guards, opened a bloody road and went straight to Qinghai, and the poor remaining Tubo soldiers were slaughtered by the Hui people.
In this battle, 50,000 people were killed in Tibet, 3,822 people were killed in the Tang Dynasty, and 5,634 people were injured.
The great victory of Ningcheng spread throughout Ganzhou with the wind. People have pasted red paper cages on their doors to show their joy, and shops and liquor stores have found the big red lanterns that are hung for the New Year, and the huge lanterns are swaying in the wind and full of joy.
The atmosphere in the Assassin's Mansion is completely different from the lively scene outside.
Song Eniang, the daughter of the assassin history, returned to Chang'an today, and it was inevitable that she would be sad and light when she left the house. Song Eniang has been married to Li Linfu of the Li family in Guanzhong for many years, and the reason for this return to visit relatives is that Li Linfu has a concubine in Xinna, Song E's motherhood is not enough to return to her mother's house in Ganzhou a year ago, and the daughter who married out of the water family can't stay for a long time. Thorn Shi only has one daughter, Song Eniang, and no one dares to gossip about how long she lives. Song Eniang has always been worried that Tubo will come to invade the instability of Ganzhou, and only then did she hear the report of Ningcheng's victory, so she left with confidence.
The mother's family is always the mother's family, and the family in Chang'an City still needs to face it. Song Eniang said goodbye to her mother and got into the carriage, and went out of the city with the maid Xiaohuan, the coachman Niu San, and seven or eight guards. Through the curtain, you can feel the lively scene outside, Song Eniang obviously felt the bump in the body, and then suddenly heard Xiaohuan exclaim.
"Xiaohuan, go down and see what's going on?" Song Eniang asked.
"Miss, there is a person lying on the road, Niu San didn't see it, and the carriage and horse ran over the man's legs." Xiaohuan looked down at the "person" lying on the ground, "It's a man named Hanako." Xiaohuan saw the man's ragged and pale face.
Song Eniang got out of the car and saw the name of Xiaohuan called Huazi. Obviously unconscious, the carriage ran over his leg and did not react.
"Alive." Xiaohuan put his hand under the man's nose and sniffed.
"Get into the carriage and find a Lang Zhong to have a look." Song Eniang is kind-hearted.
"Miss, the time to travel is very tight, and I can't get to Wuwei after a delay, so I'm going to sleep in the open tonight."
Song Eniang was really embarrassed. It's not my intention to leave behind, and I don't know each other on the road.
"Saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and carry people into the car first."
The guards worked together to lift the man into the carriage and lay him on one side. The space in the carriage is wide, and Song Eniang and Xiaohuan sit on the other side. Xiaohuan had the courage to stroke the hair on the front of the man's forehead, only to realize that it was a woman.
"Miss, it's a girl."
"Find a man and see what disease she has?"
"Miss has a good heart, and there will be good rewards in the future." Small loops.
Good news? Song Eniang smiled bitterly, her husband Li Linfu didn't even say hello to her concubine, and she clearly took her own main house as a thing. Seeing the fox spirit enter the door, Song Eniang was helpless.
"Langzhong, someone in the car is in a coma, I don't know what disease he has?"
Lang Zhong took the pulse and diagnosed, "If you are hungry, just drink rice porridge for a few days." ”
"Lang Zhong, this person's leg has been crushed, there is no problem, right?"
"It's okay, the bones are fine. Just rest for a few days. ”
After reading Langzhong, Song Eniang instructed Xiaohuan to buy rice porridge and feed it to the man along the way. The man could only drink a few sips with his teeth closed, and Song Eniang saw that the man was still unconscious, so she had to take it with her.
From Ganzhou to the east, the scenery on the side of the road is desolate all the way, in the twilight of spring, the barren trees on both sides of the road occasionally show a little tender green, fortunately, the post road between Ganzhou and Wuwei is still quite smooth, the day is not dark, the Song family convoy arrived in Wuwei County.
"Miss, the man is awake." The girl Xiaohuan said happily.
"Where is this?" The man asked.
"The girl was unconscious on the side of the road, and the young lady passed by and saved you." Xiaohuan hid the part where the carriage ran over his legs.
"Xiao Gu thanked Miss for saving her life," Xiao Gu made a gesture to get up, but he couldn't exert any strength in his body.
"The girl quickly lay down and drank the porridge first, and the doctor said that the girl fainted because of excessive hunger." Xiao Gu took out the rice porridge that had not yet been drunk.
"The rice porridge is cold, so drink it when it's hot." Song Eniang said.
Just when Xiaohuan was holding the rice porridge to heat it, Xiaogu was not in good spirits, and felt that the world was spinning and falling asleep. This sleep went to Liangzhou. Xiaohuan didn't wait for the young lady's orders, took the hot rice porridge, and fed Xiao Gu to drink it one bite at a time. Xiao Gu hadn't eaten for many days, but he felt that the rice porridge was soft and delicious, and when he wanted to eat it again, the bowl in Xiao Huan's hand was already empty.
"Girl, don't worry, I'll come back later. Where is the girl? Xiaohuan saw that Xiaogu still wanted to eat, and hurriedly said.
Xiao Gu was asked, where was he sold into the Qinglou family since he was a child has long disappeared from memory.
"Ningcheng. Before the city was broken, one person escaped. Xiao Gu suddenly thought of Ning Cheng, and no one would doubt it when he said this.
Ningcheng has been broken for a long time, and it is well known that there is no living mouth in the city. At this moment, Xiao Gu said that he was from Ningcheng, and Song Eniang signaled Xiao Huan not to continue asking. Behind every sad person is a sad story, why bother to uncover the scars?
"Little Bone, what are your plans for the future?"
"Miss Xiao Gu Meng rescued, Xiao Gu swore to follow Miss to the death." Xiao Gu has already learned from Xiaohuan that Song Eniang is the eldest lady of the imperial history of the court. I went out this time because the lord of the family took another wife and concubine.
After Xiao Gu was washed, his appearance was better than Xiao Huan, and Song Eniang saw that Xiao Gu had a pitiful background and stayed to be a maid.
Within a few days, the Song family's convoy passed from Lanzhou to Liangzhou, and Xiao Gu learned more news. Guo Lining won a great victory in the city, destroying 50,000 enemies. Song Eniang's husband is the imperial history of the court and China, and he can impeach hundreds of officials. Xiao Gu's mind is alive, it is impossible to take revenge alone, and if you want to take revenge, you need to cling to a larger force. And Li Yushi in front of him has become an excellent choice for Xiao Gu. Listening to Xiaohuan, the master likes glamorous women. The concubine who had just been included in the room was originally a woman from the Qinglou, and the old man was afraid that Song Eniang would be angry, so he simply didn't even say hello.
There is only one day's journey from Chang'an, and Song Eniang has no joy at all. When I returned to Chang'an City, I had to face those bad things again. People often say that everything is prosperous at home, and there is chaos in the inner house, where is there a good mood? Song Eniang ordered to stay in Liangzhou for a day to rest, and rushed to Chang'an early after a day.
The small bones are lively, April in Guanzhong is full of spring breath, and the fields on both sides of the road are planted with unknown crops, which is completely different from the scenery on the grassland. Xiaohuan said that Chang'an City is extremely large and has a large population, and when Xiao Gu was in Murong Mansion, he heard that Chang'an City was the largest city, and he was about to arrive in Chang'an, and he was inexplicably excited.
Arrive in Fuchu at dusk that day. Li Linfu personally greeted him outside the gate of the mansion and gave Song Eniang enough face. Although he accepted a concubine, Li Linfu's actions showed that the lord still valued his wife Song Eniang very much, which made Song Eniang satisfied. Xiao Gu got out of the carriage and looked at the house in front of him. It's a strange place to the bones.
"Ma'am, who is this?" Li Linfu suddenly saw a stunning woman get down from the carriage.
"Little Bone, I've seen the master." Song Eniang commanded. "Master, this is Xiao Gu, the woman in distress rescued on the road."
"Xiao Gu has seen the master." The small bones owe the body slightly.
The fragrant breeze came to his nose, and Li Linfu was suddenly in a good mood and took Song Eniang's hand and entered the house.
