Chapter 103: Pulling the camp north

玉公公 says:

"Only You Go"

Qi Rongxun didn't seem to hear clearly, and asked:

"What did you say, Father-in-law?"

Father-in-law Yu lowered his brows, stared at the group of young people in front of him and said:

"It's only you two battalions going, don't you hear clearly?"

Qi Rongxun asked:

"What about the others?"

玉公公 says:

"Others have their own arrangements."

Lan Ziyi stepped forward and asked:

"Father-in-law, the thieves are fleeing in all directions, erratic, and we can only be controlled by others all the time if we follow behind, so that the thieves can sit and reap the profits of the fishermen with ease......"

Father-in-law Yu didn't wait for Lan Ziyi to finish speaking, and said:

"The imperial court has ordered the military department to transfer the forbidden army north of the river to the south, and now it is assembled in Xu County, and it will go south in a few days, you will pursue it to the north, cross the river from Xiangfan, cut off the passage of the thieves to the south, and annihilate the thieves in Wancheng with the main force of the forbidden army."

After hearing this, Lan Ziyi thought for a moment and said:

"But father-in-law, the East Tiger Battalion has been fighting fiercely for days, with heavy losses, and the personnel have not been replenished, how can we destroy the thieves?"

玉公公 says:

"I'll ask the military department to find a way to replenish the troops of the Jihu Battalion."

At this time, Qi Rongxun asked:

"Since the main force of the forbidden army is heading south, why should we pursue the thieves again?"

玉公公 says:

"As I said just now, I want you to go because I am afraid that the thieves will flee south, so let you block the way of the thieves and join forces with the forbidden army going south to surround the thieves."

Qi Rongxun says:

"Look at the two battalions of soldiers combined, there are only 4,000 soldiers, and there are hundreds of thousands of thieves, how can they be intercepted? Isn't this going to die? ”

Hearing Qi Rongxun say this, Father-in-law Yu raised his chin and waited for him viciously, until he stared at Qi Rongxun and raised his head.

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi sighed softly, Father-in-law Yu came in the middle of the night, and his tone was so tough, it seemed that it would not work if he didn't go north, but it was too hasty to go like this, although Lan Ziyi knew what the main force of the Beijing camp was going to do, but if he pretended to be deaf and dumb about this matter, it would really make people feel aggrieved.

So Lan Ziyi asked:

"Where is Father-in-law Yu going?"

After dealing with Qi Rongxun, Father-in-law Yu relaxed a little, and didn't pay much attention when he heard Lan Ziyi ask, and replied casually:

"I'll go back to Jiangcheng after talking to you."

Lan Ziyi nodded and said:

"It's dark and the road is slippery, the road is dangerous, my father-in-law might as well rest in the camp for the night and leave tomorrow."

Father-in-law Yu shook his head and said absentmindedly:

"No, the king still needs the old man to serve you, and if you don't see me when you wake up, you will suspect that I have something to do with you. Besides, tomorrow the army will ....... ”

Saying this, Father-in-law Yu realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly stopped.

It's just too late, Qi Rongxun grabbed the conversation and asked:

"Dare to ask what the father-in-law's army is going to do tomorrow?"

Father-in-law Yu replied:

"It's nothing, it's just going to move somewhere else."

Qi Rongxun asked:

"Where is the army going?"

Father-in-law Yu was annoyed by Qi Rongxun's question and scolded:

"Why, when you are promoted to Hou Ye, you feel that you are a thing? The movement of the army is naturally led by the commander-in-chief, and you can only carry out orders as a deputy general, what qualifications do you have to ask about this matter? Is this your business? ”

Although Father-in-law Yu was aggressive, Qi Rongxun was not dismissed, but firmly continued to ask:

"The identity of the last general is known to the last general, but the army is dispatched to exterminate the thieves, and now the thieves are monstrous, and they have not been blocked from the south of the Yangtze River to the north of the Yangtze River.

The last general is about to command his men to attack a hundredfold enemy with thousands of people, while the main force of our army wants to conceal his whereabouts.

If it's going to surprise the thief, of course, General Kou Mo has nothing to say, but if he deliberately hides from us to do something extravagant, what is the difference between it and escaping? “

When the fish father-in-law heard this, he was so angry that he scolded:

"Qi Rongxun, do you dare to disobey this prison?"

When Qi Rongxun heard this, he hurriedly knelt down, clasped his fists and said:

"The last general will not dare to disobey his father-in-law."

The deputy general of the Shenji Battalion also knelt down and pleaded:

"The father-in-law supervising the army is representing the emperor, Qi Hou just said an angry word, but in fact, he didn't dare to disobey the order of the supervising army."

Although Lan Ziyi knew that Father-in-law Yu's reprimand was just angry, Father-in-law Yu's accusation was very dangerous.

Just like what the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion said just now, the Gonggong Supervisor Army is to monitor the army on behalf of the emperor.

If there is disobedience between the generals, it can also be explained as a difference of opinion, but disobeying the orders of the supervising army is disobeying the orders of the emperor, that is, rebellion, and it is only a matter of blinking an eye to drag it out and behead it.

Although Lan Ziyi is at odds with Qi Rongxun, if the fire of Father-in-law Yu spreads and affects himself, it will be troublesome.

So Lan Ziyi also knelt down and said:

The father-in-law was angry. Although we are only the deputy general of the prince, it is precisely because of this position that we have to give advice to the prince wholeheartedly. If we don't even know the movement of the main force, then we are too remiss of our duty. ”

Seeing Lan Ziyi kneeling, Wei Qionglou and Tao Zhutu, the father and son of the Qiu family, who came with Lan Ziyi, also knelt down and pleaded.

Seeing that the commanders of the two battalions were kneeling down and pleading for mercy, coupled with the fact that the actions of the main force of the Beijing army were not in harmony with the people's hearts, he was annoyed and angry just now, and he did not have an old face to continue to get angry at this time, so he sighed and said:

"Get up, I'm just saying a few angry words.

The army will march tomorrow and will go to Gangneung. “

Everyone who was kneeling stood up when they heard Father-in-law Yu's instructions, Qi Rongxun hadn't straightened up yet, he was really shocked when he heard Father-in-law Yu's words, and hurriedly asked:

"To Gangneung?"

Lan Ziyi smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that if this was the case, what should have come is still here.

Father-in-law Yu wanted to leave after telling the order, but he didn't expect to say something that shouldn't have been said.

This situation was the last thing he wanted to see, but since he had already said it, he had to make it clear

Father-in-law Yu took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Jiangling was originally occupied by thieves, and now the recovery should of course be surrendered by the prince himself, which is also on behalf of the emperor.

The army followed the prince, this is a must. Tomorrow you will march north, for this is necessary.

There are 90,000 forbidden troops in Xu County, and the encirclement and suppression troops are sufficient this time, so you can only succeed, not fail!

The details of the military will be handed over to you tomorrow by the herald. That's it.

The old man still has something, go first, don't send it. “

With that, Father-in-law Yu put on his cloak and walked out of the tent, leaving a group of people staring at each other, not giving them a chance to continue to inquire about the matter.

After Father-in-law Yu left, Lan Ziyi and the others went back early and instructed his subordinates to prepare.

The next day, after breakfast the soldiers of the two battalions, they left the camp and marched north.

Although the rain was still falling, it was lighter than when they marched in a hurry earlier, and this time Lan Ziyi and they were not in a hurry, after all, they did not have such an order.

From the beginning of the march, Lan Ziyi and the others advanced separately from Qi Rongxun, with the Jihu battalion in front and the Shenji battalion behind.

Of course, the reason for this is that the cavalry and infantry equipment are different, and the marching speed is also different, of course, the main thing is that the thieves are no longer there, and the commanders of the two battalions are dirty, so it is better to be out of sight.

The further north you go, the more you discover the dangers of robbership.

When Lan Ziyi was in Jiangling, his main energy was on the thieves, and he didn't care much about the surrounding people's conditions.

Until now, the main force of the two thieves has walked through this road, and the villages and towns along the way are all broken, everything that is valuable, can be taken away, can be eaten, there is nothing left, and the temples and ancestral halls have been pushed to.

Along the way, I saw many orphans and widows wandering aimlessly in the rain, homeless,

Bodies could be seen every few steps on the side of the road, and only some of them had been killed, many of them had no wounds, but were very emaciated, and they all appeared to have starved to death.

Lan Ziyi and they were riding on horses, although these scenes happened right in front of them, but across the road, it almost became a matter of another world.

When he first saw him, Lan Ziyi also ordered reluctant soldiers to help the old and weak women and children, but later he stopped doing so, because the officers and soldiers were only barely enough for themselves.

Looking at the sight, Lan Ziyi was silent, and he said almost to himself:

"The thieves are just passing by, and there are not many people killed, but why are they so broken?"

On the side, Tao Zhuhu said:

"Every time the thieves go to a place, they have to pull strong men, scavenge grain and grass, and pick a few unlucky chickens and monkeys when they encounter resistance, people do not kill much, but the food is scavenged clean, what do the people eat?"

Peach then receives:

"Judging from the few villages and towns passing by, the thieves robbed everything, like locusts,

For these old and weak, Ding Zhuang in the family has no income if he is gone, and after his things are robbed, he has no food and no clothes, and he can only freeze and starve to death when he flees abroad. “

Lan Ziyi asked:

"What about the official yamen? Why don't you come out and organize disaster relief? ”

Tao Zhulu replied:

"The thieves ran away before they came, and after they came, the officials were all scattered and there was no organization."

Lan Ziyi talked and tried not to think about these things.

He looked back at Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu, although the wounds of the two brothers no longer ooze blood, but they were still far from getting better, and after receiving the order, they also gritted their teeth and got on the horse to accompany Lan Ziyi forward.

Lan Ziyi wanted them to go back to Jiangcheng to recuperate, and when the two insisted on accompanying Lan Ziyi forward, Tao Zhuhu said that Lan Ziyi's hand had been cut, which was enough for his father to clean himself up, and if something happened later, he would not be able to explain.

At this time, Tao Zhuhu asked:

"Wei Hou, Father-in-law Yu has been leading troops for many years, knowing that we are outnumbered, why are you in a hurry to let us go north to pursue the thieves?"

didn't wait for Lan Ziyi to answer, and then Qiu Xiaozhi said:

"Because I want to steal the credit."

Hearing this, Tao Zhuhu turned his head to look, and saw Qiu Xiaozhi and Qiu Wenruo urging the horse over, so he got out of the way.

When the father and son leaned in front of Lan Ziyi, Qiu Xiaozhi said:

"The emperor ordered the Beijing army to go on an expedition, but as a result, King De traveled to the mountains and rivers, delayed the military plane, and the Marquis of Wei suffered a big loss in the front.

Now that a large number of forbidden troops have been mobilized to encircle and suppress, the court has spent several times more money than previously estimated. How does Father-in-law Yu explain? The ministers of the DPRK and China can watch it with fierce eyes.

At this time, let Wei Hou and Qi Hou hurry up to catch up with the last wave of the war, make some money, and go back to make a difference. “
