Chapter 338: The right time and place

On the official road from the mall to Zecheng, a team transporting grain and grass is moving forward in an orderly manner. The leader of the generals is Xu Moqing, who has just replaced Yan Guiwan.

In such a hot weather, it was enough to wear bulky armor, but he still had a veil over his face. It is only said to the outside world that General Yan has a sick face and cannot be taken off to show others.

Although everything that should be known is known, what should be guarded against must be guarded. Drama, you have to do it.

Xu Moqing patrolled back and forth in the team, cheering up twelve points of spirit, paying close attention to the grass and trees around him.

In any case, it was his first priority since taking over. Zhu Xinran still refused to rest assured in the end, and still sent Yan Qingbi to him. asked her to follow Xu Moqing's left and right and assist him in completing this mission.

The iron cavalry led by Xu Moqing rushed from Zecheng to the mall, and the speed was so fast that it almost flew up, in order to make time for the return trip.

The elite iron horsemen of thousands of people have a surprising tacit understanding with Xu Moqing. Even Yan Qingbi was full of praise for him, and said that her brother-in-law was a "woman who has eyebrows and does not let women", a natural handsome talent.

Xu Moqing is very clear in his heart, but because the journey is quite smooth, there have been no accidents. On the side of the mall, because the soldiers were left to garrison last time, the defense of the city was strengthened, and the collection of grain and grass was smooth this time.

According to the current speed of hurrying, it will be about three days before we can return to Zecheng. Xu Moqing calculated in his heart that if the transportation of grain and grass went smoothly in this operation, then there would be no more problems with Zecheng's backup supply in a short period of time.

Whether there is a South China Sea in the mall or not, it has not yet been revealed, but if they do not move, it can only mean that the South China Sea is overwhelmed. Before their intelligence capabilities were outnumbered, they had already shown their defeat, proving that the time for Dongliang's counterattack was coming.

Yan Qingbi hit Xu Moqing's side, and opened his mouth several times, but he still didn't know what to call him.

Xu Moqing glanced at her and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Yan Jiang, why don't you call me Yan Jiang to try?" ”

Yan Qingbi was slightly stunned, "Gotcha!" Yan Jiang, it seems that you quite like this title. ”

"Is that your eldest sister?" Xu Moqing kicked the horse's belly slowly, "The situation ahead is okay?" ”

Yan Qingbi raised his finger and pointed to the sky, "What about the enemy soldiers, look at this posture is enough to be encountered, but God, we can't afford to provoke it." ”

"It's going to rain?" Xu Moqing was taken aback, "With such a clear sky, it's actually going to rain?" ”

Yan Qingbi shrugged his shoulders, "General Yan doesn't know, the weather in southern Xinjiang is like this." We have prepared for the moisture-proof of grain and grass. It's just that if it really rains, I'm afraid it won't be one. In that case......"

"How many days have it been going on, and the roads are muddy, affecting the team's progress?"

"Almost!"

Xu Moqing's brain seemed to have been hit by something, "What's the leisurely energy, hurry up and speed up!" He grabbed his horse's belly and ran to the front of the line to give orders.

Yan Qingbi followed behind with a burst of ridicule, His Royal Highness King Yongfeng, who has always been calm and unhurried, and is confident in everything, also has such a frizzy time? It seems that the title of "Yan General" has put him under a lot of pressure!

Heavy rain has fallen in Zecheng. Outside the city, a thin layer of mist appeared on the sea, making those South China Sea warships floating on the sea look a little more mysterious and alienated.

The city was unusually quiet, surrounded by the sound of rain lapping down. The soldiers on duty in the town became more and more unhappy, and the generals who stayed in the command camp also felt tormented.

Yan Guiwan sat at the window, looking at the pouring rain outside, supporting her forehead with one hand, thinking of her husband who performed important tasks for the first time, and the little sister who went together, she couldn't help but worry.

In addition to worrying, still worried!

Li Yunhe sat beside her, spread her legs, and hummed a little song in her mouth, which was a popular folk song in Fengcheng. The sound of rain echoed in the camp, making people miss the distant city.

"Sister Wan is worried about Your Highness? Let's just say that I will go to the mall, but none of you agree. I want that recruit from His Highness to go this way! Li Yunhe pretended to be sophisticated.

Yan Guiwan blinked, "If you go, I'll worry about you too!" ”

Li Yunhe snorted, "Duplicity, pretending to be crazy and stupid!" ”

Yan Di slowly walked over to them and sat down, "Yun He is getting impatient?" Wan'er is pregnant, what are you competing with her? ”

"Hey, I'm no longer your pampered sister Yun? Why don't even Sister Tu talk to me! ”

Yan Guiwan and Yan Tu laughed unconsciously, and Yan Guiwan said: "Sister Yun is still the most favored, and her status has never wavered. ”

"The pregnant one is saying, what do you want to eat today? I'll get the cooks to prepare. ”

"You can eat anything!" Yan Guiwan pulled Yan Di's hand and said coquettishly: Just don't let me drink the decoction anymore, it's bitter to death! ”

Yan Di shook her hand and said simply, "No way!" ”

Zhu Xinran couldn't stop smiling when she saw this, and she also followed, "It seems that this rain is good, and everyone's mood is a lot soothed." ”

Yan Di bowed to her slightly, "After this heavy rain, I'm afraid the weather will be even hotter, and the South China Sea will obviously be unbearable." ”

"I didn't expect that the rainy season would come so quickly this year, and God would help us Dongliang."

"Do we still have any warships? Do you want to prepare in advance, if you don't get the last battle, you have to go back to the sea to fight! Yan Guiwan was eager to try, as if she was going to appear next.

Zhu Xinran glanced at her, "Look at the evening, what's the matter, you want to get on the warship and continue to kill the enemy?" ”

"I want to go!" Yan Guiwan said softly.

"Dare to fight back!" Zhu Xinran raised his arm and made a fake gesture to hit her.

Yan Tu looked at Li Yunhe, "We don't have many warships left, and we don't have enough combat experience. But this preparation also has to be made, will you dare to board it when the time comes? ”

"Huh! What would not dare! Li Yunhe stood up and stretched his long waist, "Hurry up and beat Nanhai Xiao'er away, so that I can go back to Fengcheng quickly, I miss my son!" Two generals, don't worry about me yet, let's think more about His Highness who hasn't returned! ”

Zhu Xinran glanced at it, "Hey, I hope Your Highness has nothing to do on the road, the enemy can stop it, how can the weather stop it?" ”

Yan Guiwan patted his chest and packed the ticket, "You can rest assured, Your Highness guarantees that the grain and grass can be transported back in good condition!" ”

Everyone used the expression of "Wang Po sells melons and boasts" to Yan Guiwan, which made her embarrassed again.

At sea, in the camp of the warships of the South China Sea.

The morale of the generals led by Yuan Lang was low, and from the initial victory, it has now become a situation of "undefeated and defeated".

The generals of the two factions had just fought fiercely, and the generals of one faction thought that they should not delay any longer and make fearless sacrifices, but should quickly return to the imperial court, preserve their existing strength, and first retreat to the mainland of the South China Sea and then consider the long term. The generals of one faction think that they have not lost the war, and they can fight again, and they may be able to succeed.

One side scolds the other for being cowardly, and the other scolds the other for being risky and aggressive. The stalemate between the two sides lasted for a long time, and was finally broken by the arrival of this heavy rain.

In this battle, Yuan Lang is very confident, including until this moment, he has not lost the war in the South China Sea in a real sense. But instead of reaping the slightest benefit, it was like falling into a swamp and slowly devouring itself.

He has been in the army for many years, and he has never fought such a "nest" battle, undefeated and defeated? It's aggrieved when he thinks about it, but if he continues to consume it like this, he can also judge what results he will face.

"Zhang Xiao, do you still want to continue fighting?" Yuan Lang asked the young general sitting in the corner.

Zhang Xiao's face was solemn, but he said calmly: "Boss, of course I personally want to continue to fight and have a hearty fight with them." But we can't capture the city several times and three times, and the rear supply is about to be cut off, and the troops are not enough to reach the reinforcements of Dongliang, and it will be disadvantageous for us to continue to consume! ”

"Humph! Isn't it General Zhang who is reluctant to give up the female general opposite? One of the people at the table said.

Zhang Xiao stood up suddenly, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Lao Tzu is not that kind of person! ”

Yuan Lang let out a loud shout and told both of them to shut up tightly. He walked from the cabin to the deck, and his guards were busy taking off his coat and draping it on him. Yuan Lang blocked it, signaling that he didn't need this thing. He walked out in the rain, looking at the misty sea and the invisible Zecheng, and fell into deep thought.

Yuan Lang finally decided to wait until the rain was over before making a decision. But this rain, for five or six days, was intermittent, sometimes drizzling, sometimes pouring rain, sometimes the sun was just showing its head, and the next moment it was full of strong winds and dark clouds.

So much so that Xu Moqing had returned to Zecheng with grain and grass, and there was still no move on this side of the South China Sea.

Seeing Xu Moqing and the others returning safely, Yan Guiwan was really relieved, and he was silent on the surface, and returned to the residence of the two, but it was a different appearance.

"It's going to be a smooth journey, it's raining heavily, and it's a lot of work to take care of, right?" Yan Guiwan held a silk towel in her hand and gently wiped it for Xu Moqing.

Xu Moqing helped her to sit on the couch, "I knew that you were a worried life." Thinking about me every day, can you still eat and sleep well? ”

"No, everyone takes care of me! This rain is not good for you, but it is good for us. The south side of the South China Sea is unusually quiet, and I see that the gas is running out. Yan Guiwan said with a smile.

"Along the way, I also thought that if they didn't make a move, they would really be defeated and defeated. As for me, I still think about the last time I was on the battlefield, killing the enemy head-on, and passing the addiction of being a general. It seems that I can't do it. ”

"Tsk, my brother still has such thoughts! I think it was better to be exempted. ”

As she spoke, she suddenly felt unbearable in her stomach and vomited. panicked, Xu Moqing immediately got up and supported her side.

"When did you start to react so much? I see, this firstborn will have to suffer a little later. Xu Moqing said distressedly.

"I'm not that squeamish, no—" She lowered her head again and vomited.
