Chapter 173: The alarm is lifted
Chen Yongfu soon knew that Li Yan refused to come to his barracks, but he didn't plan to dwell on this matter either. His priority now is to get rid of the thieves in Guide Mansion first, and the rest later.
He asked Su Jing to send a message, asking Su Jing to prepare the army's food and grass for two days, and he would go to Germany the day after tomorrow. He didn't ask for much, he didn't even ask for a little more food with the threat of mutiny, how much food could he expect Qi County to provide him?
Su Jing really wanted to agree and send away Chen Yongfu, who made him frightened, first. But the food is in Li Yan's hands, and the county treasury can run horses, so he has to send someone to send a message to Li Yan.
As soon as Li Yan heard that Chen Yongfu would leave the day after tomorrow, he also agreed to give him two days' food. However, he wanted to make sure that Chen Yongfu was really leaving, not entertaining him.
"I'll prepare the food now, but don't give it to him yet, I'll go and meet Su County Ling and Gao Xun." Li Yan commanded.
Li Zhong nodded and said, "There is not much food for two days, as long as they really want to leave, it is okay to give it to them." ”
Li Yan nodded and said, "You continue to monitor and don't let your guard down." I'll go see the Su County Commander now. ”
"Don't worry, they can't turn the sky." Li Mu assured without care.
Li Yan soon took his own soldiers to the county office, and he asked Su Jing to send someone to invite Gao Mingheng over.
After Gao Mingheng came to the back hall, he asked: "Su County Order, please come to Gao, is there something wrong?!" Obviously, Gao Mingheng is still not in a good mood now.
Su Jing hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Gao Xun pressed, and the next one is to report the good news to the patrol press." Vice President Chen informed the people that he would set off early the day after tomorrow to go to Guide Mansion. ”
Gao Mingheng finally got a little interested at this time and asked, "Will you leave the day after tomorrow?" ”
Li Yan hurriedly interjected: "But I'm not sure, Vice General Chen sent someone to say so, but maybe there will be other changes." ”
Gao Mingheng frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "What else can happen?!" The people of Guide Mansion are looking forward to Wang Shi, and the justice of the court is waiting for the good news of recovering the lost territory and exterminating the thieves, what else can happen?! Ben is going to ask for himself. ”
Gao Mingheng is also eager to make contributions, and he has seen many local reports in Kaifeng, including those who have the audacity to hijack the county order, those who raise dead soldiers, and those who take their families and tenants to attack each other. He is here for these things, and this time he can catch up with the official army to exterminate the thieves, then he can also share some credit. Although the power of patrolling the imperial history is quite large, but there are only seven grades, it is still good to be able to rise one more liter.
Li Yan and Su Jing didn't stop them, and watched Gao Mingheng go out in a hurry.
Su Jing asked, "What if Vice General Chen doesn't leave after receiving the grain?" "He's scared, and when the thieves come, there will be walls in the way. However, this Vice General Chen was in the city, and the thin walls of the county government did not bring him any sense of security.
"With the urging of the Guide side and the supervision of Gao Xunpress, Vice General Chen should leave soon. As for whether it is the day after tomorrow, it is unknown. Li Yan soothed: "But please rest assured that the lowly post has been carefully arranged, even if the soldiers under Deputy General Chen want to make trouble, the lowly post can be quickly pacified." ”
"That's good, that's good." Su Jing kept nodding. His greatest wish now is for Chen Yongfu to leave quickly, so that Qixian can restore stability. He didn't want to live a day of such a worrying day, especially after nearly half a year of peace, he wanted to be peaceful all the time.
In the evening, the guerrillas, the generals, who had escaped from the barracks, also ended their wanderings in the city and returned to the barracks, knowing that the soldiers had not become chaotic. Before the mutiny, they naturally did not dare to go to Chen Yongfu, otherwise it was possible to be pushed out to appease the anger of the soldiers. Now that the mutiny did not take place, it would be even better, they did not have to explain to the soldiers, nor did they have to ask Chen Yongfu for their guilt.
After they returned to the barracks, they treated everyone as if the noon food rush had not happened, and everyone was fine. This also reassured the petty officers who took the lead in grabbing military rations, knowing that the matter would not be pursued again. The soldiers were the happiest, having a good meal and a good night's sleep, which was really pleasant. As for being punished, they didn't think about it at all, the sky fell down and they were tall and tall, and there was no such thing as not holding the public accountable, so they weren't worried about being punished at all.
With the supervision of Gao Mingheng and the urging of the Gentry of Guide, Chen Yongfu asked the troops to prepare the next day. And Li Yan also sent the prepared grain to Chen Yongfu as promised, with a total of 200 quintals of various grains. As for the pasture, he didn't grow it here, so he could only give some bean fodder.
Originally, Li Yan wanted to send some people to Suizhou to control the iron ore there. But after this unpleasant quarrel with Chen Yongfu, he didn't dare to let his troops go with Chen Yongfu. If he sends troops, he will not be used as a shield on the front line, or he will be eaten directly by Chen Yongfu. So he planned to wait for Chen Yongfu to withdraw his troops back to Kaifeng, anyway, the iron mine was there, and no one went to mine it, just leave it alone.
Early in the morning of the third day, Chen Yongfu left Qixian with his troops and headed for Suizhou. This time, there was no momentum and spirit when they entered Qixian, and the soldiers were all depressed one by one, because they were getting closer and closer to the battlefield. And the food has become difficult to swallow, they ate almost all the white noodles at one time, so yesterday's meals were basically miscellaneous grains, so that they who had eaten pure fine grains felt that they were eating dog food.
Xiayi County, southern suburbs.
"Brother Wei, are you okay?" Yuan Laoshan came to see a dragon, and he also came to discuss the future behavior.
The last time Yilong fought against Li Yan, he was knocked down by Li Yan's artillery, and his leg was crushed by the war horse, and his bones were broken. It's nothing, just take it slowly. But in the face of so many beautiful women who were snatched up, he couldn't help it. So after a few nights in a row, he broke his vitality and became sick. And the injured leg was also swollen, and I had to lie on the bed.
Yilong said weakly: "It's no big deal, I have already asked Lang Zhong who came to prescribe medicine, just take a few more medicines." ”
Yuan Laoshan looked at the sick dragon, and the swollen injured leg thicker than the two thighs, and felt a little bad. But he still nodded, "That's good." The sentry said that the official army has entered the territory of Guide, and we are going to fight again. ”
"Then let's fight, we have so many brothers, are you still afraid that the official army will not succeed?" A dragon said weakly.
Yuan Laoshan said: "This time we are making a big fuss, not only the soldiers of Henan will suppress us, but even the soldiers of Huaibei will come to suppress us." ”
A dragon grinned and said weakly: "The geese have left a voice, and the people have left a name." We didn't live in vain. Everything will be arranged by Yuan Da, if you can't beat it, you will run, and the officials and soldiers will not work too hard. ”
Yuan Laoshan nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Wei have a good rest, I'll go first." ”
He was a little happy at this time, just taking advantage of this opportunity to swallow a dragon man, then he would be a hero who could compare with Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings of Xiying, and Cao Cao and Luo Rucai.
