Chapter 270: The Passing Year is Unfavorable

As I have said before, Xiao Yan'er made An Yi unexpected, and it is far from the previous ones.

After the Liao army took Lanzhou City, Han Guangde moved all the camps in the northwest to this northwest fortified city that originally belonged to the Han people.

Guo Muer, on the orders of Empress Xiao, added 7,000 dragon horsemen from Liaojing, plus the original 3,000 people in total, a total of more than 10,000 people, and then counting the men and horses in Lanzhou City, as well as the soldiers who returned to the team after the epidemic in the rear recovered, the total number of people added up to more than 80,000 people.

These seventy or eighty thousand brave Khitan soldiers were spread out by Han Guangde in an orderly manner to the south of Lanzhou City, relying on this camp on both sides of the Sushui River, and the joint camp that stretched for hundreds of miles was carried by their generalissimo all day long, and they did not relax the tight string in their hearts for a moment, and waited for Xiao Yan'er's order to pursue south.

merely

After three days in a row, Xiao Yan'er had no intention of ordering the army to open at all.

This made the generalissimo Han Guangde, who was eager to take advantage of the victory, be very anxious, and sent people to ask for the queen mother's decree for several days, but he was sent back by Empress Xiao for several days, until finally he couldn't bear it anymore and went to Lanzhou City to find Xiao Yan'er in person.

Although Xiao Yan'er is not a general who is proficient in the art of war, how can she not know the simple truth of "taking advantage of your illness to kill you"?

The reason why she did not order the whole army to pursue was mainly because she had other calculations in her heart.

Just as Xiao Yan'er said on the horse when she was held hostage by An Yi before, Tongguan, the Xia army in An Yi's hands must not be able to enter, because the agreement she reached with King Yong Gao Cixiang is that all the north of Tongguan will be returned to the Liao Dynasty, and Xiao Yan'er's condition is to wipe out the small 90,000 Xia army in Lanzhou City, which is a great threat to King Yong.

So in any case, Tongguan is not a life gate for Anyi, but a dead end that has been drawn long ago.

Of course, everyone is a businessman, and everyone's abacus beads are knocking, and King Yong also has an eye in his heart.

According to his thoughts, he only needs to order the gate of this Tong Pass to be closed, and first wait for King Wu's army to enter, which will be a close door for King Gao Cixun, and you Gao Cixun will never go back to the northwest with a bang, right? That's really as King Yong wants, the gate of Tongguan is open for him at any time, just so that Xiao Yan'er can serve it.

Secondly, the Xia army of An Yi was also blocked by the closed gate of Tongguan to face the Liao army.

That's right, I'm kind enough to talk to you Xiao Yan'er, the north of Tongguan is all yours, but as for what is on the ground, it's up to you Liao Dynasty to clean it up yourself.

After the loss of Lanzhou, An Yi took these horses to reorganize and counterattack the Liao army is basically a fool's dream, so King Yong thinks that there are two results at most.

First, An Yi was quickly killed, Tongguan became the new border of Liaoxia, and King Yong could be regarded as losing more than half of King De's wings, and the remaining remnants were no longer enough to compete with him.

In other words, the comfort is strong enough, take these horses and Xiao Yan'er to fight to the end, and finally retreat to Sichuan,

Such a situation is also within the calculation of King Yong, when the time comes, the King of Wu in the Guannei will take down King De, and the edict will be issued, then you will be a traitor who gathers in Sichuan and Shu, and he will be kind and kind to the Liao army together with the defeated Liao army.

Therefore, it seems that if it continues to develop like this, the dead end of comfort and this army must be a certainty, but it is only a matter of time.

And King Yong knows that An Yi himself is not a soft persimmon, Xiao Yan'er wants to get the northwest she promised her, it will also take a lot of twists and turns, and it will not even be possible to lose her own family foundation, in the end, King Yong will clear the pass and then lead the army out of the pass, then she will be a bamboo basket to draw water.

Gao Cixiang is indeed in vain The queen put all the pots and pans of her family on him, and he does have enough scheming, although he looks like a big smoker, but the plan thrown out of his head can really be described seamlessly.

It's just that there is always a mistake in Baimi

Where's the sparseness? He didn't realize that his opponent was Xiao Yan'er, the Empress Dowager of Daliao Chengtian, a woman who had been holding the queen's gorgeous phoenix crown since she was fourteen years old, and then stepped on the throne of the queen mother step by step.

Xiao Yan'er has reached an agreement with King Yong through that grandfather-in-law, and has never set her goal north of Tongguan.

This legendary empress dowager will never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for civil strife in Great Xia, and she has only one goal, and it is also very clear, that is, the core center of Great Xia - Wang Jing!

Xiao Yan'er thought very clearly in her heart, what is the northwest and what Tongguan, but in the end, it will still be at the negotiation table for a long time, only the soldiers will come to the king's capital, so no matter who is in power and who is the emperor in Great Xia, what she wants, what this behemoth has to give,

Therefore, from beginning to end, the Empress Dowager Chengtian did not regard Tongguan as her destination.

It's just that she also knows the significance of this Tongguan to Daxia, no matter how King Yong and King De fight behind closed doors, what kind of fight they become, this door will definitely not be open to her.

Of course, Xiao Yan'er knew that she was not lonely, because she also wanted to enter outside the door, and he was comfortable.

Xia Jun's breakthrough in Lanzhou City also gave her a good inspiration for a while.

That is to let An Yi be the key to open the way for him, and shake the northwest gate that runs them across the splendid Central Plains.

It is precisely because of this that Xiao Yan'er did not move for three days, just because she didn't want to force An Yi to turn around and fight with herself, but to give him enough space and time to pry open this heavy red lacquered wood and copper nail gate for herself.

merely

She waited like this, but she was still in high spirits and planned to ambush her in the Sushuichuan Gorge to give her a pot of comfort, and pounced.

An Yi is also a person who can endure his temperament, as if he was sure that Xiao Yan'er would come, and commanded Xia Jun to wait in Sushui River for a day and a half.

However, Xiao Yan'er originally fought with the idea that the enemy would not move and I would not move, and the two of them thought about it as if they were facing each other in the air, you stared at me and I waited for you, and no one had the intention of moving.

It's just that in this extraordinary period, no matter how good the temperament is, people can't stand this kind of torment, and when it comes to the early morning of the next day, An Yi really can't hold back anymore, and orders Jiang Shang to withdraw and return to Sichuan with Shu soldiers and horses, and then leave Liao Ying's Shaanxi army to retreat to Xi'an.

Eventful times, there will always be no people to stop,

Just when the two armies of soldiers and horses parted ways on the north bank of the Sushuichuan Gorge under the leadership of Jiang Shang, An Yi and Liao Ying respectively, An Xin suddenly ran to the comfortable camp in a panic.

"Brother! Oh no! Sister Siyi has been spitting out black blood! ”

"What?!"

An Yi threw the wolf pen that was writing something in his hand on the table, ignoring the ink spots everywhere in the letters on the case, followed by his sister and ran in the direction of Liu Siyi's big tent, while asking An Xin anxiously: "When is it?" What about the Li court's verdict? ”

An Xin followed closely behind her brother, and just shook her head and said: "When I was going to visit the tent this morning, I saw that Sister Siyi had already opened her eyes, you must know that she has been in a coma since Lanzhou. I originally wanted to send Ning'er to tell you quickly, but I didn't know that Sister Siyi had not opened her eyes and had not yet half a cup of tea, so she had been spitting black blood under the bed, a big stall, and the Li Yuan sentence was not in the account, I asked the guards outside who didn't know where he went, I really had no choice but to let Ning'er and Juan'er take care of it first, so I hurried to find you! ”

Originally, he was upset and distraught after spending two days in the Sushuichuan Gorge, but this morning he heard the bad news of Liu Siyi, and he was even more anxious.

And what An Yi is most worried about is that this mouth spitting black blood, isn't it contaminated with the symptoms of the previous epidemic? But when Li Quan asked him to choose, he chose to treat cold and fever with a prescription!

Now Li Quan, the only one in the entire camp who can save Liu Siyi, doesn't know where he went, An Yi is worried that he won't find out that he used the wrong method for Liu Siyi, and he is afraid that An Yi will be angry with him and slip away.

If this is the case, when Jiang Shang takes Liu Siyi and rushes back to Chengdu day and night, where can he still be alive?

An Yi's head was sweating with white hair, and he didn't pay attention to the front, and took his sister and the two of them to turn around the camp and bump into Jin Mingyin!

"Oops! I said can you look at it....... Yo, Brother Yi, hehe, I didn't see you when I walked too fast, didn't I hit anywhere? ”

To be honest, Jin Mingyin is wearing a full body of armor, and it hurts enough to slam it on the comfortable plain brocade robe, and there is a feeling of turning over the river and the sea in his stomach.

But An Yi couldn't care so much now, frowning and grinning and rubbing his stomach, he pulled Jin Mingyin over, "Go to Jiang Shang and tell him that the whole camp is blocked and martial law, and then you take the men and horses of the Xiao Riding Battalion to find me that court sentenced Li Quan, even if you tie him up, you have to tie him back to me!" ”

"Yes, yes, understood!"

Jin Mingyin naturally knew in his heart that when An Yi's face became like this, whatever he said was what he said, and it would be over if he did it, don't talk too much,

He said in his heart that Li Quan was also unlucky, and he didn't know how to annoy Brother Yi like this, so he turned around and ran towards Jiang Shang with a few personal soldiers behind him.

When An Yi hurriedly walked into Liu Siyi's camp with her sister An Xin, Liu Siyi was already in a deep coma, next to Ning Er was holding a steaming copper basin, while Zhou Juan'er was sitting on the edge of the bed, scooping warm water with the silk handkerchief in her hand, and carefully wiped the black and brown blood stains on Liu Siyi's mouth.

"How's it going?"

An Yi looked at the two big stalls of black blood in front of Liu Siyi's bed, and his left eyelid jumped twice suddenly.

Ning Er on the side owed to An Yi, and Zhou Juan'er also raised her head and shook him when she heard his voice, and replied, "I just got up and vomited these two mouthfuls of blood, and now I'm in a coma again." ”

Anyi's brows are twisted like a twist, watching his weak sweetheart on the bed being tormented by illness, but he is helpless, this feeling may be the most tormenting,

He beckoned to Zhou Juan'er and said, "Juan'er, let Xin'er take over from you, you come out with me, I have something to ask you." ”

Zhou Juan'er let out a light "um", handed the silk handkerchief in her hand to An Xin, who stepped forward, and then followed An Yi out of the tent.

"Juan'er, let me ask you, have you ever been infected with the epidemic before? What you said last time, are you accurate? ”

An Yi's voice was also with a hint of urgency, but Zhou Juan'er raised the three fingers of her right hand high, and swore with a straight face: "I, Zhou Juan'er, swear to the sky, and never lie to my uncle, not to mention that Mrs. is my savior, if she is really infected with the epidemic, how can I hide it and not report it?" Before, even when the envoy of the Zhao Yuan asked his wife for her pulse, he said that her wife did not have any signs of the epidemic. ”

An Yi felt that she was indeed a little too anxious, which made the little girl feel that she was suspicious of her, so she couldn't help but press her hand, signaling that she didn't have to swear an oath.

"I understand this, I just want to confirm Siyi's condition, don't think about it."

Zhou Juan'er didn't take it too seriously, and explained to An Yi with worry: "But uncle, you know, once the epidemic thing encounters cold and heat, it is difficult to distinguish at all, even when the envoy of Zhao Yuan was there, without any symptoms, he didn't dare to pat his chest to guarantee that anyone would be healthy and unharmed." ”

An Yi nodded after listening to it for a while, at that time, Chongzheng appointed him to accept the epidemic response, I'm afraid he is not unclear about this, if he can easily distinguish the patients, then what did Meng Qi and their Snapdragon Wei do at that time?

However, he still asked as if with a hint of luck: "Juan'er, let me ask you, when you finally found the epidemic and cold and heat problems in the Tai Hospital, was there such a thing as Siyi........ That is, I mean a patient with pure cold fever, a disease that vomits black blood from the mouth? ”

"At that time...... It was ......"

Zhou Juan'er muttered in her mouth, and quietly glanced at An Yiyi's face with her eyes, as if she was a little difficult to speak.

But An Yi saw her stumbling appearance in his eyes, and waved his hand at her to signal that she didn't have to hide it.

"It's okay, you just tell the truth."

"Okay."

Zhou Juan'er nodded, "At that time, all the patients in the Tai Hospital who caused cold and fever after the epidemic were all ...... in the end."

She looked up again and glanced cautiously at An Yi,

"In the end, they all died without exception, and at the beginning, Zhao Yuan asked them to judge whether the patients with cold and fever were pure cold and fever, which was mainly based on whether the tongue coating was yellow and the mouth was black blood."

At this time, after hearing this, An Yi could feel that his chest was like a big stone slab, and every breath seemed to exhaust the strength of his whole body.

"However, it can't be said that as long as it is spitting black blood in the mouth, it must be an epidemic, after all, this kind of thing was not good for the envoy of Zhao Yuan at that time, and the cold and fever were ......."

Zhou Juan'er also noticed that An Yi's face was even more ugly, but she began to regret that she was stunned and told An Yi like that, she was going to explain something more not to let the situation get so bad, or not to let An Yi think that the situation had become very bad, but was interrupted by An Yi waving her hand,

"Okay Juan'er, I understand in my heart, thank you."
