Chapter 198: Reinforcements
This spring came much earlier, at the end of February, when the snow melted and the river thawed.
The gate of Yizhou suddenly opened, and a group of cavalry rushed out of the city gate.
"Oh! Oh! Oh! The people who got up early to watch cheered.
After two wars, the people of Yizhou have become more and more supportive of the county guard, and it seems that fighting means victory.
"Close the door!" Du He lost his usual laughter, watched the knight disappear, and ordered with a serious and calm face!
"From this day onwards! Until they return, the whole city is under martial law! Gongsun Feiyan didn't have the naughtiness of the past, and said without looking back.
"Yes! Subordinates obey! More than a dozen elderly soldiers behind him clasped their fists and took orders.
Although Yizhou is under martial law, it is mainly aimed at the Turks and the people of the Western Regions, and has no impact on the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, despite the hard work of mining, the people of Yizhou are still happy, after all, compared with farming, the mining income is not only stable, but also much higher.
"Bell! Clang! Bang Bang! Alert! On the battlements of the tower, a sentry struck the gong in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Close the door!" Du He, who closed his eyes on the city tower, opened his eyes suddenly, stood up suddenly, looked at the smoke and dust rising in the distance, and ordered with an ugly face. He didn't expect that the army had only been gone for three days, and there would be a situation.
"Don't be an enemy!" Du He secretly said in his heart, if it is an enemy, even the two thousand people in Yizhou now, how can they not hold it.
Yizhou City sits reclining, so whether it is the Turks or the people from Yumen Pass, it seems that they are coming from one direction.
"It's your own people!" After waiting for a while, a figure appeared in the distance, and the sharp-eyed guards began to shout excitedly.
"Be careful, ask clearly!" Du He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and admonished.
Sure enough, after a while, the people who came stopped outside the city gate, waving the banner of the Tang Dynasty and dressed as Tang soldiers.
"Who?" Du He asked impatiently.
"I have seen Shangguan, the last general Cao Yiyong, the commander of Longyou Dao, on the order of the governor, led 3,000 troops to listen to the order." Cao Yiyong rode forward, clenched his fists and said loudly.
"But there is a seal!" Although Du He was relaxed, she was still not careless, and asked with a relaxed attitude.
"Yes!" The person who came immediately sent the seal letter, the paperwork.
"Open the door!" After reading it, Du He was completely relieved.
"Someone again!" Before Cao Yiyong and the others finished entering, smoke and dust rose in the distance.
"What!" Du He's heart tightened, and he grabbed the sword at his waist.
"Not my people!" Cao Yiyong was afraid that Du He would misunderstand, so he waved his hand again and again.
"Come into town!" Seeing that his attitude was sincere, Du He also let down his guard and stretched out his hand.
"Hurry up!" Cao Yiyong was also anxious, and stood aside and greeted the soldiers loudly.
"How is this grandmother!" Gradually seeing the person coming clearly, Du He's face changed wildly, and he whispered to himself.
"Captain! You know someone! A soldier beside Du He asked curiously.
"Open the gates!" Du He was agitated, came to his senses, and shouted loudly.
Du He's reaction simply startled the soldiers around him, and he didn't understand how Du Wei could react so hugely.
"Mother!" Gongsun Feiyan, who had just arrived, jumped up and shouted excitedly as soon as he landed on the top of the city.
It turned out that the person who came was Aunt Gongsun and her party.
"Hey, hey! Du He has seen Aunt Hong and several aunts! Du He was like a slave, nodded and stepped forward to hold the war horse, and greeted with a smile.
"Ouch! The girl has become thinner! Aunt Gongsun, who is like a sister to Gongsun Feiyan, pulled Gongsun Feiyan distressedly and said.
"Why! It's a good place to eat, it's a good place to live, and my daughters have gained weight. Gongsun Feiyan replied embarrassedly.
"That's it! Don't you see anyone else? Aunt Gongsun gently patted Gongsun Feiyan's little hand and said.
"Aunt Hong! Aunt May! ……”
"It turned out to be Du Er! Why don't you see Situ boys! The red-whisked girl was very satisfied with Du He's attitude and asked with a smile.
"Don't blame Aunt Hong! The eldest brother has led people to send troops! Du He hurriedly explained.
"Sending troops so soon?" Red Whisk said with a little surprise.
"The snow melted early this year, and they sent out their troops three days ago!" Duhe went on to explain.
"That's it! Let's come all the way to arrange a place to live! Hongfu said with a frown.
"Okay, okay, Aunt Hong, please!" With this group of people, Du He was simply relieved and happily led the way into the city.
"Mother! I just built a new house, so you might as well stay for the time being. Gongsun Feiyan persuaded.
"What? How many of us can't live in the county guard's mansion? Red Whisk asked curiously.
"The county guard mansion is in disrepair, and Stinky Situ doesn't have time to let people repair it, so he just built a few rooms that he lives in." Gongsun Feiyan explained.
"Mother and Feiyan just live together." Aunt Gongsun said with a smile.
"This ......" Gongsun Feiyan suddenly hesitated.
"What? Could it be that Situ boy didn't arrange a good place for my daughter to live. Aunt Gongsun said upside down.
"No, no, my daughter lives in the county guard's mansion!" Gongsun Feiyan hurriedly grabbed her mother and blurted out.
"What! You live with Situ Boy! Aunt Gongsun opened her eyes wide and asked loudly.
"Mother! You keep quiet, I live with Sister Zheng, and besides, they are all in different rooms. Gongsun Feiyan was so anxious that her face was flushed, she looked around with a weak heart, pulled her mother's arm and shook it.
"That won't do! Lonely men and widows live together, which makes my daughter how to behave in the future, Situ Boy must be responsible. Aunt Gongsun said resolutely and unrelentingly.
"My sister said this, what should I do with my apprentice, she has been married to Situ Boy." When Hongfu heard this, he immediately stopped doing it, and said without giving an inch.
"It's about my daughter's reputation! My sister can't agree with this. Aunt Gongsun will also argue without showing weakness.
"Huh! In this way, my sister has to fight. Red Whisk said with a smile.
"Sister, it's okay to understand it like this!" Aunt Gongsun raised her eyebrows.
"Huh! Not to mention that Liwan and Situ Boy are married, even if they don't, if they were able to elope with their husbands back then, they would definitely be able to come out of the blue! Red Whisk didn't care about revealing his shortcomings.
"Mother! Aunt Hong! Don't argue, how can you force emotional matters. Gongsun Feiyan said with a depressed expression.
"No! Look at your uncompetitive appearance, it's clear that your heart has been hooked! Aunt Gongsun hated that iron could not become steel, and Gongsun Feiyan said with a little forehead.
"Huh! Why should my sister blame the younger generation, isn't there a mother who must have a daughter! The red whisk smiled and persuaded with a smile.
"Humph! Because of this, I can't let her be like me, and I don't have the courage to fight for it. "Aunt Gongsun is not shy about it, after all, many years have passed, and these sisters know it clearly.
