Section 5 People go to the empty building
After Yang Hao finished writing the fold, he read it carefully again, and then sealed the fold. Yang Hao thought about it, and did not use the imperial court post station to send it to Jingshi, but called his confidants and family members, and instructed: "You take a team of family members to send this letter to Jingshi, and hand it over to Fang Congzhe Pavilion Elder, just say that the Liaodong war has been lost, and now how to end it is all up to the Pavilion Elder." ”
The family nodded and said, "Yes, the villain understands." Please rest assured, the villain will definitely hand it over to Fang Ge Lao. ”
Yang Hao looked at the departing family and said secretly in his heart: "This can only be the case!" It's not a pity for Ma Lin to die, it's a pity that the Qilin Tiger of the Liu family, Liu Ting's old general Quanxia knows and don't blame me, someone must come out to stand up to this defeat, otherwise what should I do! ”
At the same time, Liu Yunwei led the Hanwei battalion to the outside of Liaoyang City. I saw that the gate of Liaoyang City was also closed, there were no pedestrians around, and the Ming soldiers on the city wall were being closely defended. Seeing that the Hanwei battalion was approaching the city, the guards hurriedly found the thousand households who were responsible for the defense of the city tower.
Liu Yunwei stationed at the city and shouted loudly: "I am Liu Yunwei, the guerrilla general of Liaoyang, open the city gate quickly!" ”
Seeing this, the thousands of households in the city looked towards the city, only to see the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion lined up outside the city, and a young general rode his horse in front of the formation. The thousand households took a closer look and recognized Liu Yunwei, and immediately said: "It's really a little general, open the city gate quickly!" ”
A hundred households next to him whispered: "My lord, but we received Yang Jingluo's order ......"
Before he finished speaking, the thousand households shouted angrily and scolded: "Don't mention anything to Lao Tzu Yang Jingluo, this is Liaoyang!" Open the city gate for the little general! ”
After a while, the city gate slowly opened, and Liu Yunwei immediately led the army into the city, and after settling the army in the city, Liu Yunwei took Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Li Tianhao, Zhao Kaishan, Wen Poyu and others straight to the General Military Mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Liu Yunwei heard from his family that Xu Wanxin actually went to her parents' house, and then asked what happened specifically, but he couldn't ask why. Liu Yunwei's heart suddenly had an ominous premonition, and he was about to rush to Xu's mansion to see what was going on.
Lu Ying grabbed Liu Yunwei on the side and said, "Big brother, let's send someone to Xu's Mansion to pick up Mrs. back, you can't leave now, there are too many things that need you to decide immediately!" ”
Liu Yunwei nodded, took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said, "I know, I know." After thinking about it, he said, "Po Yu, send someone to Xu's Mansion to bring Mrs. back." ”
Wen Poyu said: "Okay, I'll go in person." ”
Liu Yunwei said again: "Kaishan, Tianhao, Wu Xing, you immediately go and take over the defense of Liaoyang City, and inform the prefect Wang, tell him that I am back, and ask him to find a way to raise food and treat the wounded." ”
Li Tianhao asked: "Big brother, that's the prefect, isn't it a little inappropriate for us to point fingers at Lord Wang like this?" ”
Liu Yunwei looked indifferent and said: "It's okay, I am now the biggest general in Liaoyang City, and the entire Liaoyang generals are in my hands." Now that the Jiannu army is about to overwhelm the border, I don't think Lord Wang will be embarrassed by us, after all, he still has to count on us to guard Liaoyang. ”
All three of them nodded, and immediately went their separate ways.
At this time, Liu Yunwei saw the bodies of his grandfather and father, his face was sad, and he said: "Lu Ying, prepare the mourning hall, I want to mourn for my grandfather and father." ”
Lu Ying thought about it and said with some hesitation: "Big brother, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not." ”
Liu Yunwei looked at Lu Ying a little strangely and said, "Say!" What can't be said between our brothers? ”
Lu Ying slowed down and said, "Big brother, I think the funerals of the old general and the young general should wait for a while." ”
"Why?" Liu Yunwei asked in surprise.
Lu Ying said: "Now that the situation in Liaodong has been corrupted to the extreme, who will take responsibility for this defeat, has the eldest brother thought about it?" ”
Liu Yunwei was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Of course Yang Hao bears the responsibility for the defeat!" But after thinking about it, he said: "No, he Yang Ho should not have the courage to directly bear the responsibility." ”
Lu Ying said: "Yes, so I thought that Yang Hao would definitely push out the responsibility to the maximum, at least a few cushions." ”
Liu Yunwei's face was extremely ugly at this time, and he said, "It seems that I have to think of a way in advance." Hmph, let's fight bloody battles on the battlefield, and when we come back, we must always beware of cold arrows in the dark, which is simply unreasonable! In this case, the grandfather and father really have to wait. ”
Lu Ying also nodded
Liu Yunwei said: "Then first find two pairs of good longevity materials, collect the bodies of my grandfather and father, and see how the situation develops before making a final decision." ”
After that, Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying worked together to deal with some important matters in the backlog of the General Military Mansion.
After a while, Wu Xing, Li Tianhao, and Zhao Kaishan rushed back, and Liu Yunwei asked, "How are things going?" ”
Zhao Kaishan said: "We have fully taken over the defense of the city. ”
Wu Xing added: "Our brothers are further counting the soldiers, money and food in the city, and reorganizing the guards guarding the city. ”
Liu Yunwei asked, "What about the prefect's mansion?" ”
Li Tianhao replied: "Big brother, don't worry, I will go to Lord Wang's mansion in person." Lord Wang agreed very much with the eldest brother's move, and had already sent people to do it separately. ”
Liu Yunwei was slightly relieved after hearing this, and said, "That's good." ”
At this moment, I saw Wen Poyu running in in a panic, and everyone was surprised. Wen Poyu walked into the house quickly and said, "Big brother, it's not good, the young lady is not in the Xu Mansion!" ”
Liu Yunwei was shocked after hearing this, and he didn't know why he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, but he actually felt a chill, and a cold sweat broke out all over his body.
The others were also shocked, and Lu Ying said anxiously on the side: "Tell me quickly, what's going on!" ”
Wen Poyu hurriedly said: "After I arrived at the Xu Mansion, I saw that the head of the Xu Mansion, Master Xu, and the young lady were not in the mansion, and even Qiao Ling was not in the mansion. I asked the housekeeper, and the housekeeper said that the young lady had indeed returned to the house the day before yesterday, but then she didn't know what happened, so she took all the members of the Xu family to Shenyang with Master Xu. ”
Liu Yunwei was shocked, stood up suddenly, and suddenly shuddered when he remembered the nightmare that night, and said in a lost voice: "What are they going to Shenyang for!" Then Shenyang City can't even enter us, how can they enter the city! ”
Zhao Kaishan also exclaimed: "Now there are Tartars around Shenyang, what are they doing in Shenyang, madam!" It's too dangerous! ”
Li Tianhao asked: "It is estimated that the young lady is concerned about the safety of her eldest brother and wants to go to Shenyang to inquire about the battle situation on the front line." By the way, the housekeeper said that he didn't say how long they had been gone, madam? ”
"Less than two days, less than two days ago!"
Lu Ying hurriedly said: "Big brother, send someone to chase after you, it's still too late!" ”
Liu Yunwei is even more anxious, he is already in a state of confusion at this moment, his grandfather and father have died on the battlefield, and his wife and father-in-law are his last relatives in Liaodong, so nothing must happen!
Thinking of this, Liu Yunwei was about to gather the iron cavalry to personally lead the troops to chase after him, and everyone saw this and dissuaded him. Wen Poyu said: "Big brother, at this time, you must sit in Liaoyang to wait for the situation to change, or I will take someone there." ”
But where was Liu Yunwei willing to listen, he still insisted on going to Xu Wanxin and others in person. Lu Ying looked anxious, grabbed Liu Yunwei, and said, "Big brother, you have to calm down at this time, you know?" Now that the situation in Liaodong has been completely eroded, you can't mess up your mind because of your children's personal feelings! If you can't hold it, will Liaoyang still be able to defend it? What do you want the soldiers who have followed you all the way to fight bloodily? How can the spirits of the old general and the young general rest in heaven! ”
Lu Ying's words hit Liu Yunwei's heart like a stick, Liu Yunwei sorted out his complicated thoughts, took a few deep breaths, and said: "It's messy if I care." ”
After slowing down, Liu Yunwei's eyes were slightly red and said to Wen Poyu: "Poyu, you personally take someone to find it." Remember, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death! ”
Wen Poyu nodded solemnly and said, "Big brother, don't worry, I won't come back if I can't find the young lady!" After saying that, Wen Poyu turned around and mobilized his troops and horses.
After Wen Poyu left, Liu Yunwei thought about it again and said: "Lu Ying, you wrote a letter in detail about the battle, to show that the soldiers did not take a step back in the face of the Jiannu army, which was several times their size, and that they retreated after the soldiers fought bloodily and inflicted heavy losses on the Jiannu. I asked Yuan Mingxuan to go to Beijing in person and hand over the letter to Li Linbin and Master Li, hoping to help us clarify the facts. Even if Yang Ho wants to reverse black and white, I have to argue a few points! Otherwise, the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers will be shed in vain! ”
Lu Ying said: "Okay, I'll write it right away." ”
At this time, Zhao Kaishan looked around and said, "But big brother, after we come back, has anyone seen Yuan Mingxuan Yuan?" ”
Everyone was stunned after hearing this, it was true! As soon as everyone came back, they were busy with important matters such as Liaoyang's defense, and at the same time they were busy looking for Xu Wanxin, and no one really paid attention to where Yuan Mingxuan's people went.
Liu Yunwei was about to send someone to look for him, when he saw Yuan Mingxuan hurriedly running in from outside. Seeing this situation, Liu Yunwei's heart suddenly plucked again, and his heart beat violently, this Lord Yuan had never lost his temper like this when Jiannu raised troops, what was the big deal?
I saw Yuan Mingxuan's anxious face, and he ran towards Liu Yunwei quickly. Due to the violent running, Yuan Mingxuan was already sweating, and before he entered the house, he looked at Liu Yunwei and shouted: "Little general, quickly pack your bags and go back to Sichuan with your cronies!" Come on! Let's go! ”
The crowd was shocked when they heard this.
