Chapter Twenty-Nine: Yicheng
Chapter Twenty-Nine: Yicheng
Yicheng is one hundred and twenty miles south of Xiangyang.
Zhang Xuan stationed tens of thousands of troops here, on the one hand, because it was impossible for Xiangyang Mansion to bear hundreds of thousands of troops, and the more troops were accumulated, the better, and even said that Xiangyang City was so big, and hundreds of thousands of troops were fundamentally undertaken, so Zhang Xuan's army was stationed in Yicheng, which could be regarded as a back road to support Xiangyang.
Obvious echelon arrangement.
It's just that now Yicheng is also threatened by the Qing army.
A Qing cavalry did not stay under the city of Xiangyang. Instead, he suddenly went south with a team of more than 10,000 horses, as if he wanted to hit Yicheng by surprise.
This kind of rapid assault allowed the Qing army to capture many cities of the Ming army. Now I naturally want to do it again.
The person who led the troops was a white flag worship.
Vubai was a close confidant of Dorgon, and he was in the army of Dordor, and he had the nature of a prisoner.
Of course, Dolgon and Dordor's care is very good, the two are brothers, the relationship is deep, and they also support each other politically, without Dolgon's support, Dordor could not have done it, and he was the first of the founding kings in battle. And without the exploits of Dorgon, Dolgon was in Beijing to deal with a lot of affairs. It won't be so handy.
But a politician is a politician.
It's a bit too extravagant to talk about feelings.
Even though Dorgon was so close, Dorgon had Dorgon's men under his command.
Of course, these people can also be regarded as Duoduo's help, but under normal circumstances, they are just ears. Any orders to Dorgon will be carried out, except that the situation in the army will be passed to Dorgon.
Dorgon also acquiesced in such an act.
Such a move is not limited to the Duoduo army, it can be said that it can be found in any major army.
But it's not that Duoduo doesn't have any opinions at all, this time it is that Pai Wubai led Zhengbai and the Han army to ride south. Assault, Duoduo himself knows, the odds are not great, but he still has to let Wu Bai run a trip.
In the midst of the war, there are certainly bloody battles in key positions. But these bloody battles generally have great merit, but there are also many in the war, on the secondary battlefield, regardless of the victory or defeat of the main battlefield, even if it is very hard, there is no merit.
It's like Wu Bai's mission this time.
When he arrived at the foot of Yicheng City, he faced the Cao Ying army that was waiting for him.
Cao Ying's army was arrayed according to the city, Heiyunxiang was commanded under the city, and Luo Rucai stood under the handsome flag at the head of the city, but he saw the dragon flag fluttering, the morale of the soldiers in the city was high, and there were more than 10,000 cavalry guards. Wu Bai naturally didn't dare to slack off, but he didn't dare to quit easily.
The two sides confronted each other under Yicheng, and from time to time the cavalry hedged against each other.
Because Wu Bai did not have many troops in his hands and did not have the heart of a decisive battle, many shocks were just a superficial taste.
However, in the afternoon, Wubai got a message that on the opposite side of Hanshui, there was a large group of Xia soldiers and horses arriving, and the number of people was not known for a while, at least more than 10,000 cavalry.
Faced with such a situation, Wubai immediately made a decision.
Fall back.
Wu Bai dared not to stay here, that is, relying on the advantage of cavalry, he came when he wanted, and left when he wanted.
If the cavalry of the Xia army increased, Wu Bai would not dare to stay any longer. After all, the two sides have already fought each other, and Wu Bai naturally knows that the real Cao Yingjing is not to be underestimated.
After Wubai retreated, there was not much time for Zhang Xuan to come over.
After Zhang Xuan was attacked in Yicheng, he left a large group of men and horses, and crossed the Han River with hundreds of guards, and directly entered the county seat of Yicheng.
The county seat of Yicheng is only four miles away from Hanshui, and with many buildings outside the city, it can be said that Yicheng itself is near the river.
After Zhang Xuan came to Yicheng, he heard that Luo Rucai was at the head of Yicheng City, so he immediately came to see Luo Rucai, and when he saw Luo Rucai, he immediately bowed down and said, "Meet Your Majesty." ”
I saw Luo Rucai wearing armor, shining in the sun. Although his eyes were hidden behind the mask, he couldn't see what his face was, but just where Luo Rucai was standing, Zhang Xuan had a sense of relief. Zhang Xuan rushed over in such a hurry, because he was worried that Luo Yujiao would not be able to cope with it.
Now that Luo Rucai is in good health, he couldn't be more at ease.
When Zhang Xuan transferred troops north to Dahong Mountain, he transferred his own headquarters, plus the surrender of the army, and did not move Luo Rucai's guards.
Most of Luo Rucai's Chinese army are Cao Ying's veterans. Experienced. There is also the support of a strong city, as long as the army's morale is stable, even if the 100,000 army besieges the city, Zhang Xuan is not worried.
"Okay, it's good that you're here." Luo Rucai said: "Now that the big thing is over. Let's go back. ”
Zhang Xuan was stunned in his heart, from Luo Rucai's tone, he felt a sense of weakness, and then looked at Luo Yujiao standing behind Luo Rucai, Luo Yujiao's face was not very good, Zhang Xuan felt that there was a feeling of forced laughter. His heart thumped.
immediately followed behind to escort Luo Rucai back to Yicheng County, that is, where Luo Rucai was in Yicheng.
Luo Rucai was riding on a horse, and his mount had followed Luo Ru for several years, and he had already had the same heart. Luo Rucai didn't drive at all, and it naturally walked up, Yicheng County is not too big, but it will be a moment to the county office.
Luo Rucai directly rode into the back hall of the county government.
Luo Yujiao immediately stepped forward and said, "Dad." It's here. ”
"Oh." Luo Rucai spoke, and as soon as the whole person was relieved, it seemed that he was about to fall off the horse, Zhang Xuan immediately stepped forward and helped Luo Yujiao up.
Zhang Xuan just made contact with Luo Rucai's body, and immediately felt very light, very light.
When Zhang Xuan went into battle, he was also wearing armor, and he understood the weight of the armor best, just after weighing it, he knew that Luo Rucai's armor was wrong, and when he tried it again, he immediately understood that it was a piece of paper armor. It's extremely thin, but it's extremely finely done.
If you don't get started, you can detect it.
Zhang Xuan and Luo Yujiao put Luo Rucai on the bed, and Li Zhengfang was already waiting there.
Immediately diagnosed and treated Luo Rucai, Li Zhengfang took a pulse, and immediately stripped off all the clothes on Luo Rucai's body, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but shed tears when he saw Luo Rucai's body.
I saw that Luo Rucai was covered with layers of old scars, and there were almost no intact places, and that's it. Now Luo Rucai's body is extremely thin, the muscles in his body have dissipated, the whole thin is extremely thin, the skin is sagging, and there are large age spots.
Is this Heroic Twilight?
No matter what big heroes you are, no matter how many heroes you have, you can't escape today.
Thinking of Luo Rucai's treatment of himself, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, and felt that all the barriers had dissipated for a while. Just raise your head slightly to keep the tears from flowing.
It's just that Luo Yujiao couldn't help sobbing.
Zhang Xuan stopped Luo Yujiao's body, patted him lightly and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
The two of them didn't dare to speak, so they watched Li Zhengfang use the needle from three steps away.
Li Zhengfang's technique was very fast, but in a moment, he inserted silver needles into Luo Rucai's body, as if a layer of silver long hair had grown out of thin air. And after the needle, Li Zhengfang didn't dare to slack off, and his hands moved extremely fast, brushing over these silver needles.
It's like playing some instrument. All kinds of techniques that Zhang Xuan couldn't say were used one by one, but after a while, Li Zhengfang was sweating profusely. Only then did he slow down his movements and re-diagnose Luo Rucai's pulse. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Du Zhong, collect the needle." ”
Du Zhong immediately agreed, came to Luo Rucai's side, and carefully put away Luo Rucai's silver needles one by one, very carefully, the order and severity were also different.
And licorice immediately stepped forward and presented a damp cloth, and Li Zhengfang wiped his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Yujiao immediately went over and covered Luo Rucai with a quilt.
Zhang Xuan asked Li Zhengfang in a low voice and said, "Doctor Li, Your Majesty's illness." ”
Li Zhengfang sighed and said: "If Your Majesty recuperates in Nanjing, I can still ensure that Your Majesty can enjoy a long life, but now I am terminally ill and there is no cure." I'm just using the Great Tonic herbs to replenish His Majesty's vitality, and then use it to stimulate it. Forced tonic. But for how long it will last, I can't guarantee it. Please also ask the prince to prepare in advance. ”
Zhang Xuan understood the meaning of Li Zheng's dialect very well, if it were not for the support of the entire Great Xia, Luo Rucai would have prepared for the future.
