Chapter 328: A Thousand Miles to Meet
It is said that Xu Moqing and Yan Guiwan took a short rest in Liangcheng and decided to leave for Zecheng. Zhu Xianran felt that it was inappropriate, and obstructed them several times, intending to make them wait for a few more days, hoping to look forward to the empress's reply. But Yan Guiwan was anxious, Xu Moqing didn't want to wait any longer, the war in Zecheng was not optimistic, and it was better for them to leave in the morning.
Zhu Xianran knew that he couldn't stop their wives and husbands, and he was also worried about the safety of his sister, so he prepared a good war horse for them, and sent them the most elite escort in an attempt to escort them to Zecheng as soon as possible. But their wives refused to be followed, as long as they came to the war horses and official documents, it was convenient for them to take the official road and official post, which could provide the greatest convenience.
Before leaving, Zhu Xianran set up a banquet to entertain everyone, and everyone gathered in the camp tent of the station.
"The last general has nothing to say, so I hope that His Royal Highness and General Yan can return to Beijing in triumph as soon as possible." Zhu Xianran raised his wine glass and drank it all.
Yan Guiwan and Xu Moqing also raised their glasses and drank the wine in the glass. But Jiuying and An Sheng behind them were both like wilted eggplants, and both of them had a bitter gourd face.
"You two don't drink? Don't give us practice? Yan Guiwan raised an eyebrow at the two of them.
Jiuying reluctantly picked up the wine glass and muttered, "Evening Lord, let me go with you!" ”
"the fart!" Yan Guiwan accentuated his tone, "You take An Sheng and hurry back to Fengcheng for me, take you with me, I'll have to die in trouble!" ”
Jiuying knew very well in her heart that Yan Guiwan was afraid that she and An Sheng would be worried about their lives, and they had already let Qiusheng die, and their wives could no longer let the people around them die.
An Sheng's little head didn't know what he was thinking, so he directly stepped forward and hugged Yan Guiwan's thigh and knelt down, "Sister Wan, I'm ...... I just won't leave you. If you go there, I'll go there, and I'm sure I won't hold you back. ”
Yan Guiwan and Xu Moqing looked at each other, and they both felt a headache. Yan Guiwan deliberately stiffened her face, "An Sheng, if you are so disobedient again, don't say that I kicked you!" ”
"You kick, you kick! kicked to death, just in time to repay my sister's life-saving grace. An Sheng cried and said stubbornly.
Yan Guiwan rubbed his eyebrows, "Jiuying, what are you waiting for, hurry up and pull him up for me!" ”
Jiuying glanced at Yan Guiwan with a white look, and said with a rare contradiction: "Don't pull, I think Ansheng's method is very good!" ”
Xu Moqing looked at the two of them, and looked at Zhu Xianran embarrassedly, "General Xianran, don't blame, they are so young and ignorant, they are all spoiled by their daily life." ”
Zhu Xianran smiled indifferently, "They are all loyal servants." It is a pity that the clever official beside His Highness unfortunately died in Xizhou. She walked up to An Sheng, and lifted An Sheng up with one hand, "Boy, Your Highness asked you to go back to Fengcheng, how much favor is this for you, are you still not satisfied?" Don't mess around here, hear no? ”
It is also strange to say that An Sheng is not afraid of Yan Guiwan or Xu Moqing, but he is very afraid of this Zhu Xianran. Zhu Xianran just said a few words, and he was so scared that he trembled, and nodded vigorously and said yes.
Yan Guiwan laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's still the majesty of General Xianran, I'm ...... They're used to it. ”
"General Yan is laughing, when you put on your armor again, who is not afraid of your demeanor?" Zhu Xianran surrendered.
Yan Guiwan was a little unconfident, "General Xianran, am I okay?" I've ......"
Zhu Xianran stared at her firmly, "My mother said that the person she admires the most in her life is your mother Yan Leran. You are her daughter, the child that my mother watched as she grew up. My mother can't be wrong, Yan Jiang will definitely be able to rebuild her majesty! ”
Yan Guiwan was moved, "Mother......" she paused, "For so many years, the Zhu family has been supporting the Yan family behind the back, and my aunt and I both know it." ”
Zhu Xianran chuckled lightly, "Hey, General Yan is serious." She gave Yan Guiwan and Xu Moqing a deep look, "This time, I hope that the two of you will save my sister from fire and water." The situation in Zecheng is far more severe than when the Yang Department of Xizhou invaded our Liangcheng back then. ”
"General Xian Ran is serious, with Yan Di and Li Yunhe here, General Xinran will definitely be fine. I'm just trying to go over and do my part. ”
Xu Moqing looked at the sky outside, "General Xianran, it's not early, we're on the road." See you in the next day, I hope it will be in Fengcheng! He glanced at the two with drooping faces, "Let's ask General Xianran to escort them back to Kyoto." ”
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, General Yan!"
Xu Moqing and Yan Guiwan went on the road again, this time the destination was Zecheng, but this time the purpose was for their home and country. Thousands of miles of double riding, rain or shine, wives and husbands are concentric, and they are invincible.
Jiuying and An Sheng looked at their distant backs and stood in a daze for a long time. Zhu Xianran walked to their side, "Okay, don't look any further, I have prepared the carriage and horses for you, and you can also go back to Kyoto." ”
"General Xie Zhu." Jiuying took An Sheng to thank him.
Zhu Xianran patted An Sheng's shoulder, "Boy, Kyoto is no better than Liangcheng, you go, you have to listen to Jiuying's words in everything, don't be troublesome for your late sister." Do you understand? ”
"I understand." An Sheng nodded heavily.
"Let's go!"
Jiuying and An Sheng bowed to Zhu Xianran again and left in the opposite direction. They went back to Kyoto, and Jiuying took Qiusheng home first.
On the third day after Yan Guiwan and Xu Moqing left Liangcheng, in the station of Xizhou Liuxiaguan, Yang Xia held the information he had just gotten, lowered his eyebrows, and hummed.
"Master Hou, but as you wish?" Ge Hua asked.
Yang Xia handed the letterhead to Ge Hua, "I finally went, and the speed was faster than I imagined." ”
Ge Hua sighed a few times, "Master Hou, there are no eyes on the battlefield, where can you be so obedient?" ”
"If she dies in battle, it can be regarded as following her ambition, and she can die on the battlefield, which can glorify her ancestors." Yang Xia strolled through the school yard of the station, "I naturally don't want her to die, I just hope that soon, I can hear the news that she will become a general again." ”
"I really don't understand that the ambition of the little one is so important? Women, after all, it's better to be in the boudoir. ”
Yang Xia Danfeng's eyes swept away, "In Dongliang, they still think that it is better for men to stay in the boudoir." If you want to do nothing for a lifetime, are you willing? ”
"That won't work!"
"Isn't that the end of it!" Yang Xia walked out of the station and looked at the east side of Liuxia Pass, "Yan Guiwan, don't die!" ”
Ge Hua followed behind him, smirking innocently, "Master Hou, no, Yan Niangzi is blessed with a great life." ”
"Okay, let's go see how Qiqi is practicing? That kid, I haven't cleaned up lately! ”
……
Yan Di and Li Yunhe led the army to rush On the way to Zecheng, the winding and majestic procession was mighty.
Li Yunhe rode a white war horse, holding a bridle from the rear of the team to the front. Obviously, the weather is less than March, and it is still a little warm and cold in Fengcheng, but the further south you go, the more warm and stuffy you feel. The thick armor on the soldiers made their feelings even stronger.
Li Yunhe inspected the team and ran to Yan Di's side, "General, the momentum of the soldiers is not high!" ”
Yan Tu closed his lips tightly, his expression was serious, and he immediately called the two people around him to join the army.
"Where are we now?"
"General, we have reached most of the journey, and we will soon reach the territory of the mall." As soon as he joined the army, he replied truthfully.
"Mall?" Yan Tu pondered for a moment, "Zecheng's military quartermaster is here as the rear?" ”
"That's right. This mall is the largest city in the south of our Dongliang, the economy in the city is prosperous, before the two countries were at war, many people from the South China Sea were happy to come here to do business with us. ”
Li Yunhe suddenly thought of something, and said: "I remember that the Nian family seems to have made a fortune in the mall. ”
A member of the army echoed: "What General Li said is extremely true, and it is indeed the place where the family made its fortune that year. ”
Yan Di waved his hand, "Let's stop at the mall." Let everyone take a short rest, and then go straight to Zecheng in one go. The generals below agreed one after another.
For a while, everyone retreated slightly, and only Li Yunhe was by Yan Di's side, and she said worriedly: "Yunhe, according to the current situation, the further south you go, the hotter the weather becomes, and our soldiers are obviously not adaptable." When they first came out of Fengcheng, they were all in high spirits, but now they are already discouraged. ”
"That's true, plus the rush a few days ago was too fierce, even if you rush to Zecheng, it's not good to fight immediately. The battle news sent by General Xinran was also urgent, as if it was ......"
"Siege." Yan Di said clearly, "Not only that, there are many waterways outside Zecheng, and Nanhai Xiaoer is good at waterway warfare, and that is our weakness." ”
Li Yunhe sighed, "Sister Tu, I have one more concern. ”
"Speak!"
"I'm afraid that the weather is hot, and our soldiers will get dysentery again! If that's the case, you'll be doomed! ”
"Exactly what I thought."
Yan Di's palms oozed sweat, this was the first time she had led the troops to the battle. Before going to Liangcheng, it was Xu Zhongqing who was in charge of the overall situation, and all she needed to do was to carry out the order. When Xu Zhongqing ascended to the throne, she was only in the Imperial Forest Army, and her scope of activities was only Kyoto and the Imperial City.
This time it was different, if it weren't for Zecheng's heavy casualties, the empress would not have let her out and personally went to southern Xinjiang to suppress it. Yan Tu was sent here to show the whole country its determination to resist the South China Sea.
Li Yunhe saw Yan Di's worries and comforted: "Sister Tu, don't worry, the deputy generals, general soldiers, army members, and commanders who follow are not experienced in a hundred battles. There is also General Xinran ahead, and soon King Yongfeng and General Yan will come, and we will definitely win. ”
At the mention of Xu Moqing and Yan Guiwan, Yan Di suddenly relaxed, and Li Yunhe's face also had a smile.
"Your Highness and the late sister are really, their wives always create such surprises. Two years ago, when they said they were going on a long trip, they didn't even say hello, and the two of them left in a hurry. If I hadn't chased Qingying and Qingbi outside Fengcheng, I was afraid that I wouldn't even be able to see that side. ”
"But no, it's fortunate that Sister Tu brought Qingying Qingbi over, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to see that side."
"Hey, those two kids, blame me......"
"Life and death are fateful." Li Yunhe said in a deep voice.
Yan Di looked at the road ahead, "This time, fighting with Yunhe and Sister Wan will not be in vain." With your comrades, Yan Di feels that it is worth it. ”
At this time, on the official road to Zecheng, two war horses marched together. The two men on the horse were almost lying on the horseback, and they waved the whip in their hands, and with a sound, the more and more tender green branches and leaves on both sides of the shock trembled, and the flies, insects, and little beasts nesting in the grass fled one after another. These two people have a kind of momentum to die.
Finally, after making a detour, the two slowed down their horses. Yan Guiwan gasped for breath, and then asked, "Brother, are you right, is it really a mall in front?" ”
Xu Moqing held his forehead and said with an embarrassed smile: "Eh, it should be." The officials in the official post along the way pointed out the road to us very clearly, and I can't make a mistake. ”
Yan Gui saw that he was a little weak-hearted, and ruthlessly debunked it, "If you delay the trip, when you return to Fengcheng, my brother will go to the palace to ask for guilt." ”
"Are you looking forward to it?"
"Looking forward to it?" She pulled the seat under her to Xu Moqing's side, "I'm looking forward to changing into armor as soon as possible!" ”
