The food problem and the problems of the refugees were temporarily solved, but another problem came again. It turned out that Xiang Siwen's son had been riding a horse to follow Yang Hongzhang and others in the past few days, but the result may have been due to long-term horseback riding, his thighs were worn out a lot, and the house leak happened to rain overnight. As a result, the son of the originally delicate prefect's family became a difficult household who could not ride a horse or walk alone. It is naturally impossible to let him stay, Xiang Siwen was worried that he was not safe in Hejian City, so he entrusted his baby son to Yang Hongzhang, he naturally couldn't talk about a doll thrown here. So he called Yang Sheng over and asked him to ride the same horse with Yang Sheng. Who knew that this son-in-law, who didn't talk much on weekdays and looked mild-mannered, suddenly became anxious, shook his head like a rattle, and resolutely disagreed. At the end, he said to Yang Hongzhang with sobs: "General Yang, my father has repeatedly asked you to take care of me, and you have agreed. Now...... Nowadays......"

Yang Hongzhang looked at him with an angry look, looking at Yang Sheng who was smirking, Yang Hongzhang seemed to understand, it is estimated that this kid has a bad impression of Yang Sheng. When I met Yang Sheng for the first time, I didn't squeeze his father Xiang Siwen, plus Yang Sheng was originally five big and three thick, and he was a rough man at first glance, but he was really incompatible with the son of the prefect's family.

Yang Hongzhang shook his head helplessly, and had to let Yang Sheng take care of the horse, and he himself helped Xiang Gongzi on the horse.

It's just that the problem came out quickly, although Yang Hongzhang felt sorry for his war horse, but Yang Hongzhang also felt sorry for his legs, and occasionally had to get on the horse and rest for a while. At this time, Xiang Gongzi was very nervous, because the two of them inevitably had to be close together. Yang Hongzhang naturally didn't know that he regarded him as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old little brother next door, although this little brother was a little delicate, but now it was the war years, and everyone would pass with each other.

But Xiang Yunfang didn't think so, especially every time the war horse jumped, he would always exclaim for the first time, and then grabbed Yang Hongzhang's shoulders tightly with both hands. caused a burst of contempt from Yang Sheng.

Yang Hongzhang didn't know whether he was deliberately teasing him, or if he really encountered the situation, the reins shook several times, and then he quickly whipped up, and then came to the reins immediately. This frightened Xiang Yunfang, of course, the most embarrassing thing was that no matter how hard he used his hands, his body inevitably clung to Yang Hongzhang's back again and again, and sometimes even hit it hard.

After a few solid collisions, Yang Hongzhang also seemed to notice something unusual, looked back at Xiang Yunfang with a blushing face, and then recalled the soft feeling coming from his back when he stopped the horse before...... Yang Hongzhang's expression became more and more strange.

When Yang Hongzhang looked back like this, Xiang Yunfang, who was already at a loss, was even more embarrassed, and Yang Hongzhang had to pretend to laugh: "Brother, you are too bold, haha, if you encounter a bump in Jiannu, it will be more than that." Well, why don't you come to the front? It's safer that way. ”

Xiang Yunfang shook his head again and again, resolutely disagreeing. Now in this posture, he can also separate his society from Yang Hongzhang with both hands, if he gets to the front, wouldn't he be in Yang Hongzhang's arms?

Yang Hongzhang had no choice but to jump off the horse and tinker with the neighborhood for a while, but he could only put a few burdens on the saddle together, and then let Xiang Yunfang lie down.

Xiang Yunfang still refused, just sat quietly on the horse and refused to move. Now Yang Sheng can't stand it anymore, the dignified young master leads the horse to this little kid, why? You kid still don't want this, you don't want to.

Seeing Yang Sheng's vicious gaze, Xiang Yunfang was so frightened that he shrank his neck, but he was still sitting on the horse without saying a word, tears rolling in his eyes. Looking at this pitiful appearance, Yang Hong sighed helplessly, motioned for Yang Sheng to step aside, and continued to be a groom. Fortunately, there were infantry in Yang Hongzhang's team, followed by many ordinary people, and the speed of the march was not very fast.

The team marched north for another day, in the afternoon of this day, suddenly the scout in front of the warning, and then the whole team was nervous, and soon a group of cavalry in the north rushed over, Yang Hongzhang could no longer care about Sven, and hurriedly jumped on the horse and sat behind Xiang Yunfang, who had been accustomed to Yang Hongzhang's money leading the horse and pedaling, suddenly felt uncomfortable, just wanted to resist, but saw Yang Hongzhang press him on the horse's back, and then heard the wind whistling in his ears, and several feather arrows flew over Yang Hongzhang's head.

"If you don't want to die, be honest!" Yang Hongzhang hugged Xiang Yunfang with one hand and pressed it on the horse's back, grabbed the reins with the other hand, and took the time to take a look at the battlefield situation. Like the previous times, it should be the transport team of the Qing army, but this time the other side is a bit more numerous, there are actually thousands of people, and it seems that they have escaped the reconnaissance of the scouts and are ambushed on both sides of the road. That's where the surprise attack came in. After experiencing the panic of breaking the station, the team gradually stabilized, and Yang Hongzhang rode his horse to the front of the team, at which time the others had begun to organize a musket counterattack. The cavalry on both sides was already less than an arrow away. Xiang Yunfang originally wanted to resist and had no intention of resisting, so he closed his eyes in fright, and honestly lay on the horseback, but Yang Hongzhang's big hand stopped her from the middle and hugged her very hard, it was almost impossible to struggle, Xiang Yunfang quietly turned his head to look at Yang Hongzhang, but found that his eyes were staring at the front with a serious face like eagle eyes.

Xiang Yunfang suddenly felt that this was actually quite good, at least not like himself riding a horse and worrying about being hurt by the bow and arrow of the Qing soldiers. And at the beginning of the battle, the annoying Yang Sheng had already gathered around Yang Hongzhang with dozens of people. Xiang Yunfang's small eyes rolled around, and found that Yang Sheng was also looking ahead with a serious face, and from their expressions, Xiang Yunfang knew that this time the enemy was not simple. And this feeling of being protected is special and good! Although the big hand on that belly is annoying.

After the cavalry in front struggled to block the charge of the Qing cavalry, the artillery behind finally broke the battle, and with the firing of artillery, the Qing cavalry on the opposite side obviously did not expect that the Ming army, which had always looked casual, had so many muskets and artillery.

Despite this, these Qing troops seem to be very tenacious, and they still did not retreat after being attacked by muskets and receiving several rounds of palm thunder, which made Yang Hongzhang in the team frown, it was not normal to encounter such a large-scale Qing army on the Eastern Front now, and it was even more unexpected to be so tenacious.

Just when Yang Hongzhang was thinking about how to reduce casualties as much as possible and quickly repel the enemy, a noise suddenly broke out in the ranks, followed by cheers, and then the Qing army on the other side retreated after a short period of stunnedness.

Where is Yang Hongzhang willing to let go, he chased out first, and then more than a thousand cavalry followed closely behind, because nearly half of the cavalry had flintlock guns, so the pursuit was also fearless.

This time it was bitter to Xiang Yunfang on horseback, she was still pressed on the back of the horse by Yang Hongzhang, and Yang Hongzhang seemed to have completely forgotten that there was such a person on the horse. was almost hit by the inexplicable surprise attack of the Qing army, and now it is not his style to take advantage of the enemy's retreat.

After chasing out for five or six miles, Yang Sheng and others stopped Yang Hongzhang, Yang Hongzhang felt that his left hand was extremely sore, and when he looked down, it turned out that there was still someone in the crook of his arm. So he smiled apologetically at Xiang Yunfang, and then let him go, Xiang Yunfang was suddenly let go and almost fell down unsteadily, his throat tightened and coughed a few times before he straightened up, but found that Yang Hongzhang's breath sprayed directly on the back of his neck, and his face suddenly turned into a red apple.

Yang Hongzhang didn't care about Xiang Yunfang's twisting, turned his horse's head and led the cavalry and infantry to converge. When I came to the place where the large army stayed, I found that it was Gao Keng who chased after him from behind, maybe it was the Qing army that saw the Ming army and reinforcements, so they gave up the attack.

Yang Hongzhang was also very surprised that Gaokeng had brought more than 1,000 people and a large amount of grain and grass. It turned out that Hejian City also got the news of the Baoding battlefield, and after getting Yang Hongzhang's request for grain and grass, Gao Keng was unwilling to sit and wait in Hejian City, so he escorted Yue Tuo to follow in a hurry. Throw Hauge, who had been unconscious, into the river.

Gao Keng is a smart person, now there is no possibility of war in the river, Yang Hongzhang is very likely to go north directly to the capital this time, when he is not by his side, the emperor is unbearable to blame, on the contrary, if he and Yang Hongzhang appear in the capital for the first time to rescue, and then offer Yue Tuo will naturally be a smash hit, as a part of the prison army.

Yang Hongzhang didn't guess Gao Keng's thoughts, but he found the carriage of Gao Keng, so after greeting for a while, he asked Gao Keng to ask for a carriage Originally, I heard that Yang Hongzhang wanted a carriage, and thought that this guy was tired of riding a horse these days, and wanted him to ride in the same car with him, but Yang Hongzhang was the son of Xiang Siwen.

Gao Keng's impression of Xiang Siwen, the prefect, is not good or bad, and he didn't embarrass him when he came out to ask Siwen, if Xiang Siwen himself is there, he Gao Keng has no opinion.

But Xiang Siwen's son asked for a carriage, and he was naturally a hundred unwilling. Originally, he felt that it was strange for Xiang Siwen to entrust his son to Yang Hongzhang, and he clearly felt that he was planning to coexist with himself and the city with the safety of his shoulders, but now he saw that this proud general actually inhaled to himself in a low voice for the sake of a prefect, and the little good feeling he had for Xiang Siwen was gone.

It's just that Yang Hongzhang has a sincere attitude, but he hasn't spoken well with his partner these days, so he simply gave up the carriage to Xiang Yunfang, and he rode a horse side by side with Yang Hongzhang.

With a separate carriage, Xiang Yunfang finally showed a smile on his face, but when Yang Hongzhang sent her into the carriage, he looked at her with very strange and complicated eyes, just like this, Xiang Yunfang felt that this guy might have seen the problem, and couldn't help complaining about his father, how could he give himself to such a group of men, fortunately, Yang Hongzhang This guy is not like Yang Sheng! Xiang Yunfang suddenly felt that his father's real intention was not what his father said about the current chaotic situation, Yang Hongzhang was brave and good at fighting and was more able to protect himself than he was a civil official, and his father didn't want to create an opportunity to get along with Ya Chao and night......
