Chapter 113 The road to Ganzhou is cold and windy
February of the Chang'an calendar.
Chang Long, who rushed to Ganzhou in the starry night, finally arrived in Jincheng, Ganzhou with the Yilong camp in the middle of the night in the middle of the snow.
Jincheng, the capital of Ganzhou, plugged with the ancient city, has been the northwest gateway of Chang'an Mansion since the previous dynasty, and has been guarded by heavy troops all the year round, and the garrison is directly governed by Chang'an Mansion. Now, the Menghu Iron Cavalry has been wreaking havoc in Ganbei, the whole territory of Ganzhou can be fought the army has been basically defeated, only the Jincheng defenders still have combat strength, it is still complete, if it is not for Changdan's strict order, I am afraid that the Jincheng defenders are also difficult to preserve.
Thick snow covered the ridges outside the city, and a cleared path led straight to the city gate, the weather was clear, the moonlight was cold, and the guards had already received the report from the sentinels, so they hurried out of the city to pick up the young master.
"General Li, what if the marshal blames?" The adjutant general was still uneasy about Chang Dan's private mobilization of troops without the Tiger Talisman Seal Letter, and asked in panic.
"You and I have been fighting for decades, and now our temples are starry, even if we are fighting against foreign enemies, why do we need to care who we obey?" Pharmacist Li leaned on his long sword and sighed.
The deputy general thought about it, so he put his mind at ease and waited for Chang Dan's arrival.
Pharmacist Li was very relieved, his lieutenant was worried about this problem, not why the white-lettered banner was flying on the city's head.
The snow had subsided, and the soldiers had once again cleared the road.
Soon the fire appeared, and an army drove in.
Pharmacist Li hurried up to catch up.
"Ganzhou Battalion Staff General Li Yaoshi, see the young master." Pharmacist Li knelt on one knee and saluted with his fists folded.
"Old general, please get up." Before Chang Dan could see his face clearly, he had already received such a great gift, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted and helped the person in front of him.
"Young master, please." Pharmacist Li straightened up, raised his head and chest, and said loudly.
Chang Dan shook the snow on his body, and only by the light of the fire could he see Pharmacist Li's face clearly, his eyebrows and beards were all white, his hair was mottled, he was dressed in scale armor, white robe and long sword, his face was like Pan An's old man, very handsome, and he couldn't believe that he was the one who killed on the battlefield.
"The old general has been waiting for a long time, please." Chang Dan was very respectful, he knew that this old general, like the martyred general in Tingzhou, even his father had to pay a little respect, not to mention a junior like himself. These people can take out some merit casually, and it is a major matter to protect the family and defend the country.
Pharmacist Li stroked his long beard and said secretly: Tiger father has no dog......
The group entered the city as they spoke.
Jincheng, General's Palace.
Pharmacist Li prepared a reception banquet.
"Come, young master, prepare a little thin wine to catch the wind for you." Pharmacist Li raised his glass and invited.
Chang Dan hesitated slightly, but still picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Li Bi on the side frowned, ten vigilant.
"Young master don't have to be nervous." Pharmacist Li saw through Chang Dan's mind and said with a smile.
"Now, let's talk about the war." Chang Dan was very worried, after all, Menghu had already reached the doorstep, how could he still have the heart to drink, and he couldn't wait to order troops to fight now.
When Pharmacist Li heard this, his face sank, and he slowly put down his wine glass and sighed softly.
"What is the young master worried about?" Pharmacist Li asked.
Chang Dan was stunned for a moment, this still needs to be asked, what can you worry about when the soldiers are in the city?
"Is the young master worried about the loss of his family business or his life?" Pharmacist Li suddenly asked, staring at Chang Dan.
Chang Dan understood, it seems that the old general misunderstood himself.
"Hahaha, the old general really has the world in mind, so I'm relieved." Chang Dan laughed and said.
Pharmacist Li was stunned, and asked himself, didn't I misunderstand this kid......
"What did the young master say about this?" Pharmacist Li asked.
"I am not here to supervise the battle, but to personally defeat the invading enemy!" Chang Dan said, his tone became tougher.
Pharmacist Li looked at the hairy boy in front of him, happy and worried, happy and worried, after all, the battlefield is full of real knives and real guns.
"Does the young master have a strategy to break the enemy?" Seeing that Chang Dan was determined to do so, Pharmacist Li also spoke bluntly.
"Nope." Chang Dan blinked his eyes and looked at Pharmacist Li with a bookish expression.
This almost choked Pharmacist Li, crying and laughing, thinking that you are not teasing me.
"Okay, the journey is tiring, the young master should rest first, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow, how about it?" Pharmacist Li smiled helplessly.
"Okay, I'm sleepy." Chang Dan yawned, picked up the saber on the table, and followed Pharmacist Li to his residence. As soon as he went out, he turned around and nodded at Li Bi, Li Bi clenched his fists and signaled to understand.
The simple reception banquet was stirred up by Chang Dan and Li Yaoshi, Li Bi didn't eat a bite, and now that the two of them are gone, he swept away the food on the table like a storm, wiped his mouth, got up and left in the surprised eyes of those subordinates, and did not forget to carry a few fruits in his arms when he left.
After leaving the General's Mansion, Li Bi quickly rushed to the Yilong Camp station.
The clouds cover the moon, the snowflakes are filled, and the wind is like a knife, as if it is about to be carved on a person's face. Li Bi couldn't care about the pain anymore. He was going to set off tonight, leading the army north, reconnoitring the enemy, and at the same time collecting the stragglers along the way, and, in response to the remnants of the Suzhou battalion retreating south, a few days ago on the way to get a line report, saying that a part of the Suzhou battalion had withdrawn from Luling, Chang Dan gave an order at that time, they must be taken back, at that time Li Bijue was unnecessary, but Chang Dan said, each of them is a hero, they are worthy of us, we can't be sorry for them.
