Volume 1 Liaodong Shock

Chapter 5 Collecting Troops and Asking for the Future

Section 7 Bad news came

The next day, Liu Yunwei was discussing with Yuan Mingxuan about the matter of inquiring about Jiannu's movements, when Lu Ying knocked on the door and walked in, and after saying hello to Yuan Mingxuan, he handed the written letter to Liu Yunwei and said: "Big brother, I have finished writing the letter, do you need to change it like this?" ”

Liu Yunwei took the letter and looked at it, and saw that the letter described in detail the entire process of the Eastern Route Army's battle, especially when it was written that the Hanwei battalion was fighting hard in the face of the main force of Jiannu so that more than half of the casualties were lost, he was very satisfied, and said: "Very good, it's decided, send someone to the Beijing Division." ”

Lu Ying nodded, and was about to take the letter to arrange, but heard Yuan Mingxuan say: "Wait! Little General, I will personally send this letter to the Beijing Division. ”

Liu Yunwei looked at Yuan Mingxuan a little strangely and said, "What does Lord Yuan mean by this?" Now that the situation in Liaodong is so severe, I need Lord Yuan to help me deal with the intelligence affairs related to Jiannu, this matter of sending a letter can be sent to a reliable person, why did Lord Yuan go by himself? ”

Yuan Mingxuan said: "Little general, then Yang Hao has already sent someone to send the recital of this battle to the Beijing Division, what did he write in Sonata Li?" What eye medicine did you give us? We don't know, so I want to go to Jingshi in person to send a trip, so I can find out the situation in time, and if there is really any change, I can deal with the following in time, after all, I still have some relationship in Beizhen Fusi before. ”

Liu Yunwei also felt reasonable when he heard it, after all, Yuan Mingxuan's relationship in Jingshi was incomparable to those subordinates, and he was hesitating when he heard Lu Ying say: "Big brother, I think what Lord Yuan said is reasonable, if there is really a change in Jingshi, Lord Yuan can also inform us in time to make plans early." ”

"Okay." Liu Yunwei said: "Then there is Master Lao Yuan to run." ”

"That's as it should be."

Yuan Mingxuan took the letter and said: "The young general should not be delayed, I will leave immediately!" ”

Liu Yunwei said: "It's okay, then I'll send someone to escort Lord Yuan." ”

On the same day, Yuan Mingxuan rushed to Beijing with a team of family members, while Liu Yunwei took Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, and Li Tianhao to continue to rectify the soldiers, horses, money and food in Liaoyang City.

At this time, in Liaoyang City, in addition to the remaining more than 2,000 soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion, there were more than 3,000 local guards in Liaoyang, and more than 2,000 surviving soldiers and civilians of the Eastern Route Army, these are all the troops of Liaoyang. In addition, because the people of Liaoyang donated a lot of grain and grass before the war. So the supply is quite enough for a while.

As early as when everyone just returned to Liaoyang, Wu Xing, Li Tianhao, and Zhao Kaishan counted the generals in the city one by one, and fully grasped the defensive strength of Liaoyang City. In the next two days, Liu Yunwei personally inspected the soldiers of various thousands of households in the city, and also had the most intuitive understanding of the guards in the city.

On this day, Liu Yunwei summoned Lu Ying, Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao, and Wu Xing to discuss the integration of troops. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Yunwei said: "The guards in Liaoyang City are also okay, although they are not as good as our Hanwei battalion, but at least they are much stronger than the guards in other places. ”

Everyone thought so, Zhao Kaishan also said: "Big brother, don't forget that there are more than 2,000 people, they are all men who have been on the battlefield and killed Tartars, now is the time to use people, we can also make good use of them." ”

Liu Yunwei nodded and said, "That's right, so I want to organize more than 2,000 people into the guards in order to strengthen the defense of Liaoyang City; And our Hanwei battalion is used as an attack force. ”

Lu Ying said: "What the eldest brother said is reasonable, we can't just defend the city, but also have the strength to fight back, otherwise there is no hope of being trapped in the lonely city." ”

Everyone agrees very much: now that the dynasty has defeated Liaodong, there are no available troops, once Liaoyang is besieged by Jiannu, it is almost certain that there will be no reinforcements to relieve the siege, everything can only rely on themselves!

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a rush of running outside the house, and then everyone saw Wen Poyu push the door directly in, and several people in the house stood up one after another. I saw that Wen Poyu's body looked exhausted, and he was very excited, and his always resolute face was full of tears!

When Liu Yunwei saw Wen Poyu's appearance, he seemed to understand something, he only felt that his blood was about to coagulate, he felt that it was extremely difficult to breathe, and his heart seemed to be about to jump out of his chest.

Lu Ying and the others also looked at Wen Poyu in surprise, and when they saw that he came back alone, they all guessed in their hearts, but no one dared to say anything at this time, for fear of stimulating Liu Yunwei.

Wen Poyu didn't say a word, walked in front of Liu Yunwei and knelt down directly, and couldn't control his emotions anymore and cried directly.

Liu Yunwei sat down on the chair in a dejected manner, his face turned pale, and he said after a while: "Where is she?" ”

"Big brother, I'm useless, I didn't bring my wife back, you can take my marching method!" Wen Poyu was in pain at this time, and just knelt on the ground and cried.

"Where is she?"

Liu Yunwei asked again, at this time, Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Li Tianhao, and Zhao Kaishan were all full of tears, and Wen Poyu almost cried and collapsed to the ground, and said after a while: "Madame and Master Xu are in the middle hall." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yunwei suddenly got up and ran directly towards the middle hall, and several people in the room also followed quickly. After a while, everyone came to the middle hall, only to see that in addition to Liu Ling and Liu Zhao's longevity materials in the middle hall, there was a body covered with a white cloth. Next to Xu Mingwei's body, there were only two packages on the table, and Xu Wanxin's body was not seen.

Liu Yunwei's eyes were already red at this time, his hands were clenched tightly into fists, he turned his head to look at Wen Poyu, and asked with difficulty, "Where is she!" ”

Wen Poyu was speechless, tears flowed down his eyes, and he raised his trembling hand and pointed to the two packages. Liu Yunwei looked in the direction of Wen Poyu's finger, and suddenly fell to the ground as if he had been struck by lightning.

Lu Ying, Wu Xing and others were shocked, hurriedly stepped forward and pinched the middle of the person, and after being busy for a while, they saw that Liu Yunwei still didn't wake up, so they set it up together, hurriedly sent it back to the room, and hurriedly sent someone to ask for a doctor.

After a while, the family invited Lang Zhong over. The doctor was busy for a while before he woke up Liu Yunwei. Liu Yunwei, who woke up, had tears in his eyes, lay on the bed and coughed violently a few times, and then slammed to the side of the bed, and spit out a mouthful of black blood.

The people around were so shocked that they almost fainted, at this juncture, if Liu Yunwei, as the chief general of Liaoyang, fell, it would be equivalent to the sky falling in Liaoyang City!

Wu Xing, who was closer, hurriedly stepped forward to wipe the corners of Liu Yunwei's mouth, and slowly helped him down to lie down.

Zhao Kaishan cried loudly: "What are you doing in a daze!" Gather your troops and horses to find the Tartars for revenge! ”

Li Tianhao and Wen Poyu also responded, and the three of them said that they were going to go out. Fortunately, Wu Xing calmed down and stopped the three of them, and received: "What are you going to do?" Let's see what the big brother says first! ”

Lu Ying was also numb in her heart at this time, and when she saw that Zhao Kaishan and the others had lost their minds, they also shouted angrily: "When is this happening, don't make trouble for the eldest brother anymore!" Now go to the Tartars, do you know that you are deliberately giving the Tartars war exploits! ”

Zhao Kaishan and the three of them calmed down a little when they were yelled at by Lu Ying, and they couldn't stop crying on the side.

At this time, Wu Xing saw Liu Yunwei lying on the bed with his eyes lost, and asked Lang Zhongdao: "Doctor, how is my eldest brother's health?" Is it a big deal? ”

Lang Zhong said: "The generals don't need to worry, the little general is angry, it is not a big deal to vomit this mouthful of blood just now, but you still need to recuperate." I'm going to prescribe a few pairs of medicines that smooth the qi and invigorate the blood, and a few generals have to give it to the junior general on time. ”

After listening to Lang Zhong's words, everyone calmed down a little, thanked Lang Zhong one after another, and then arranged for the family to send the doctor away.

At this time, Liu Yunwei said very weakly: "Po Yu, what the hell is going on, you can make it clear!" ”

Wen Poyu wiped away his tears and said, "Big brother, I led people to chase all the way towards Shenyang, and I didn't find any trace of my wife along the way. Seeing that we were about to arrive in Shenyang, we found Xu Fuzi in the ruins of a village outside Shenyang, and Xu Fuzi and dozens of family members had already died on the spot. I found the fragments of armor left behind by the Tartars at the scene, and I am sure they met Jiannu. ”

Everyone was resentful when they heard this, and their angry faces were almost about to explode.

"What about her?" Liu Yunwei asked with a trembling voice.

Wen Poyu cried and said, "I didn't find my wife's body at that time, and I was lucky. But then I found that a courtyard in the village had been destroyed by fire, and when I looked inside, I found two bodies that had been burned to the point of only bones, presumably Mrs. and Qiao Ling had set themselves on fire in order to avoid humiliation. By the way, I found this next to one of the bones. ”

After speaking, Wen Poyu took out a dagger from his arms. Liu Yunwei naturally recognized that this was the token he gave Xu Wanxin when he first met her.

At this time, Liu Yunwei could no longer suppress the sadness in his heart, and cried loudly: "Wanxin! Why don't you listen to me! Why do you have to go out of the city? ”

And the crowd wept profusely.

In the first battle of Liaodong, Liu Yunwei not only lost his grandfather and father, but now even his wife and father-in-law are also suffering, and the hatred for Jiannu in his heart has reached the point of no return. After crying for a while, Liu Yunwei slowly stopped crying, looked at the dagger in his hand and sat up with difficulty, and said: "Recruit new soldiers in the name of the General Military Mansion, I want to reorganize the Hanwei battalion, and I want to destroy the Jiannu!" I want this vile inferior race to cease to exist! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a subordinate outside the door to report: "The little general is not good, someone outside the door has come, saying that it is a golden messenger and asking to see the little general." ”
