Chapter 127: Remembering Angelica
Zigui City, a hundred miles away.
Guan Yinping had just had dinner with his father and brother, and then slowly paced to the stable to take care of Xiaobai's food.
Early in the morning of the second day after Jiang Wei and Guan Xing set off, the army received the news that Yu Linwei had broken through the camp of Jiang Qin's army.
Her father, Guan Yu, knew that the time had come to break through, so he immediately combined the three troops of Jingzhou, Shangyong, and Fangling, took the ashes of the wounded soldiers and fallen soldiers, and retreated all the way to the southwest.
Because the original encirclement network of the Wu army was broken, the new arrival had not yet had time to be arranged, so the road was unimpeded. But when he arrived in Yidu, Guan Yu suddenly ordered the whole army to be on alert for passage, and at the same time sent Liao Hua to lead a small number of cavalry to reconnoiter around, and also ordered Guan Ping to make a broken back to protect the slow passage of the army.
Guan Yinping has been by his father's side for a long time, and he also knows a little about martial arts. She knew that Yidu had now been obtained by Soochow, which could be regarded as the second chain, and her father was worried that the army would be attacked by the defenders of Yidu on the way, so he made this arrangement.
Who knew that except for sending a few groups of probe horses, the Wu army did not show the slightest intention of attacking.
The army passed through Yidu without any problems, and finally arrived at Ziguicheng, the last stronghold of the Han Dynasty in Jingzhou, two days ago.
In the original history, Lu Xun sent his generals Li Yi and Xie Jing to lead 3,000 troops, advancing by land and water, defeating the Shu general Zhan Yan and capturing Chen Feng alive.
Zigui clan Wenbu and Deng Kai recruited thousands of Yi soldiers in an attempt to resist the Wu army, but were defeated by Lu Xun's army. Lu Xun sent people to lure him to surrender, and Wenbu finally led his troops to surrender.
After that, the Wu army commanded by Lu Xun was invincible and overwhelming, occupying the Ziguizhi River and Yidao, guarding the mouth of the gorge, and firmly blocking the gate of Guan Yu's retreat to Xishu.
At this time, due to Jiang Weide's birth, the Wu army's encirclement network was broken, and the Wei army went south for two major variables, resulting in Lu Xun having to personally sit in Yidu, and only sent Xie Jing and Li Yibu to make a tentative attack.
At the same time, under Jiang Wei's arrangement, the original garrison of Shu Han in the local area formed a joint force with the Yi soldiers recruited by Wenbu and Deng Kai in advance, so as to avoid the fate of being broken by each one.
Under the strong intervention of Shen Feng, the general of Yulin Weitun, three thousand Hanyi soldiers held on to the city, and finally withstood several attacks by the Wu army.
After more than ten days of perseverance, two days ago, Guan Yu's army finally entered the city!
On the day of entering the city, the county magistrate Zhan Yan, the county lieutenant Chen Feng, as well as the temporary army Shen Feng, the leader of the barbarian soldiers, and the big families in the city, Wenbu, Deng Kai and others came to greet them.
Zhan Yan handed over the command on the spot.
Because Guan Yu was highly respected and famous in the world, he led 5,000 people back to the west smoothly at this time, and the low morale in the city was boosted. The tense heartstrings of the crowd were finally liberated.
But in Guan Yinping's view, although everyone evacuated to a relatively safe place, his father and brother were even busier.
They either got together with the generals in the city to discuss military affairs, or they went around repairing and arranging fortifications.
It was only during dinner that she could meet them.
But she's not all without it.
As far as Guan Yinping is concerned, the biggest business in the past two days is to assist the military doctor Shi Bin to take care of the wounded, and the second is to take care of Xiaobai in the stable.
Because taking care of Xiaobai was entrusted to her by Jiang Wei before leaving, in her heart, this matter may be more important than taking care of the wounded.
That evening, she brought hay and beans to the stable to feed.
Xiaobai ate a few bites casually, still drooping his head, looking like he couldn't keep his spirits up.
Guan Yinping saw that it was not eating very well, so he stroked its huge head and muttered: "Xiaobai Xiaobai, you eat more, if General Jiang comes back and sees that you have lost weight, he will definitely blame me for not taking good care of ......"
She sighed suddenly: "Actually, it's not just you...... That night, I saw my second brother and his figure disappear into the night, as if even my heart was emptied...... If I were a man, I... I will summon up the courage to follow me, and I am willing to live and die with these righteous brothers, and share the weal and woe. ”
After spending a long time, Guan Yinping finished feeding the beans in his hand, took a handful of hay, squatted on the ground and fed it carefully.
"Xiaobai, do you know, in Gangneung before, the city was full of men who wanted to talk to me, but it was annoying to look at. But he ......"
Guan Yinping said this, and a red cloud suddenly floated on his cheeks:
"I don't know where they are now, I pray to the heavens every day, hoping that they can return safely, and if they can do so, I am willing to die to repay ......"
The girl is fifteen or sixteen years old, which is the age when love first blossoms. She and Jiang Wei have not known each other for a long time, but in these ten days of sharing weal and woe, Jiang Wei's calm, brave, and old-fashioned image has been deeply imprinted in her heart, so after a short separation, she has this worry and some longing, but she has no love affair and does not know it.
She instinctively felt that these things were not good to talk to others. Fortunately, there was no one in the stable, Guan Yinping treated Xiaobai as half Jiang Wei, and babbled about it, anyway, it would understand.
The war dragged on, and it was far from over. The city is also full of chaos and chaos, and it seems that there is no paradise at all.
It is only at this time, in this place, that her mood is relaxed.
I don't know how long it took, Xiaobai finally finished eating.
Guan Yinping cleaned up, and was about to say goodbye to Xiaobai, when he suddenly heard a warning sound of "dangdang" from the direction of the city gate.
"Did the Wu thieves come to attack the city?" Guan Yinping was anxious, turned around and walked out of the stable. But seeing the crowd of pedestrians on the road, everyone was excited, and they all walked in the direction of the city gate.
She recognized many of the faces as former soldiers who had returned west that day, and in a hurry, she grabbed a small soldier and asked, "May I ask what is happening ahead?" ”
The little soldier said excitedly: "Doesn't the girl know yet? It is said that General Jiang and the little general are back! ”
"Ahh At first hearing the news, Guan Yinping only felt that his heart was skipping a beat, and he was stunned in place, looking incredulous.
It wasn't until the little soldier hurriedly broke away that she came to her senses.
At this moment, Guan Yinping could no longer suppress the worries and thoughts of these days, and the big tears once again flowed uncontrollably.
Only this time, there was no longer the slightest fear or uneasiness in her heart, but instead she was full of joy and excitement.
She raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, and then took a quick step and ran briskly towards the city gate.
******
However, it was said that Jiang Wei and his entourage passed through more than 100 miles of forest roads, and finally at sunset, they could rush to Zigui County.
The tiger's mouth was born, and he returned to the land of the Han family at this moment, Jiang Wei's excitement and joy could not be suppressed, and he worked hard to tear the Wu military robe on his body.
Seeing this, everyone laughed loudly, drew gourds one after another, took off the Wu military robe on their bodies and threw them to the ground, revealing the crimson Han military robe underneath.
After another half an hour, Zigui City was already in sight.
Seeing that the banner of the Han family was still hanging at the head of the city, everyone couldn't care about fatigue, and while galloping on horseback, they all shouted loudly:
"Dahan Wansheng!"
"Dahan Wansheng!"
"Dahan Wansheng!"
Because of the chaos in Jingzhou, Ziguicheng has long been in a state of war readiness, and the four doors are usually closed, and they will not open the door when they are idle.
Everyone naturally knew this rule, and even if they were eager to return home, they had to ride to the city gate and slow down and dismount.
On this day, the guard of the city was Liao Hua, and he saw everyone returning safely from afar, and he was so excited that he danced with his hands, responded loudly, and rushed into the city to report.
At this time, the people outside the city gate could also feel the excitement and turmoil in the city through the thick walls. looked at each other, and suddenly a strong sense of pride swelled up, and the corners of their mouths could not be controlled.
Jiang Wei looked at the dusty comrades-in-arms around him and laughed heartily, and couldn't help but secretly wonder: "This trip is finally a success!" ”
His heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly thought, "I don't know who will be the first to come out to greet him." ”
Just as he was thinking, with the sound of "crunching", the city gate slowly opened, revealing a gap for one person to pass, and a figure had already flashed out.
