Ten miles east of Jiujiang City, the left army is stationed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The sky was gray, the wind swept the clouds, and the cold wind on the river not far from the barracks carried water vapor, which made the soldiers on the left in the barracks feel more chilly, shivered, and couldn't help hugging tighter.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, several red fires are burning, and a warmth is coming.
Zuo Liangyu was wearing a cotton sateen underwear, half of his body was covered by a quilt, and he was lying on the bed with a withered face, and an old man with a white beard trembled and took his pulse.
Outside the big tent, the eldest son Zuo Mengeng was carrying his hands at this time, anxiously pacing back and forth, time passed slowly in his slow and disorderly footsteps, after a while, the tent door opened a corner, and the old man carried the medical box in his hand, and retreated with a panicked face.
"How is Dashuai's condition? Is it a big deal? Seeing that the doctor came out, Zuo Mengeng hurriedly took two steps forward and asked two questions in a row, and he looked a little out of shape under the anxiety in his heart.
Lao Lang said: "The marshal has been fighting for a long time, there are many old injuries on his body, he has lost his vitality, if he is properly maintained on weekdays, it is not very troublesome, this time because he is tired for days, and he is angry and anxious, and accidentally affects the old disease, this disease, alas, this disease ......" Speaking of this, Lao Langzhong sighed lightly, and his tone became a little hesitant, spitting and spitting.
Seeing this, Zuo Mengeng became even more anxious in his heart, and hurriedly urged: "What's wrong with this disease?" Can you recover? ”
"Back to the little marquis, Dashuai's illness is not serious, it is not light, because the root of the disease is on those old injuries, and the loss of vitality is serious, so it is impossible to recover in a short time.
After taking it, it is conducive to stabilizing the condition, and you must not get angry again, otherwise the condition will be more serious, and even deteriorate rapidly and endanger your life! ”
"Benjue knows."
Hearing that his father had no worries about his life for the time being, Zuo Mengeng exhaled, since his father vomited blood in front of the battle, and after the defeat of the siege and the withdrawal of the army, in the past few days, Zuo Mengeng has been worried, and his heart has suffered from gains and losses, and he is very anxious.
He is also very worried about his father's illness, in case his father has three long and two short, he dare not imagine what the consequences will be, although he is the eldest son of the handsome, but the military qualifications are not enough, usually rely on the prestige of his father to deter those Shaanxi camps, coercion and temptation, do everything to stabilize those generals, without his father, he is a young junior of twenty bells and will definitely not be able to convince the generals, one is not handled well, and then tens of thousands of troops may fall apart in one day. The army collapsed, the Qing monarch failed, and he, as the leader, must have no way to live. This is something he would never dare to think about.
"There's Mr. Law, go down and get the reward."
"Thank you, little marquis!"
After Lao Langzhong went down, Zuo Mengeng paced outside the tent, his heart was worried, according to the doctor's instructions, his father needed to maintain a stable mood in order to stabilize his condition, but it was so difficult to want his father to be in a stable mood. Because my father has a heart disease!
And he knows very well what this heart disease is, if Jiujiang doesn't go down for a day, his father must be like a fish in his throat, and it will be difficult to sleep and eat, but it is not realistic to capture Jiujiang in a short time.
The so-called one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, repeated siege failures, and then by the city's artillery plots, iron cavalry pursuit, the morale of the army is very low, the army complains sharply, if it is not for the father to serve the army for a long time, the authority is deeply rooted in the heart of the army, the sergeant is in awe, there will be chaos.
The Jiujiang City is really too difficult to gnaw, the complete city defense, sharp artillery, muskets, and the defenders who are not afraid of death, all show that this is a fortified city that is difficult to shake, at this moment he is no longer as high-spirited as when he first came out of the division, some are just endless worries, and even, there is even a trace of chagrin and remorse for the reckless behavior at the beginning!
Just when Zuo Meng was suffering more from gains and losses, Zuo Liangyu's cronies opened the curtain and said to him: "Little Marquis, come into the tent quickly, the handsome man has something to say to you." ”
Zuo Mengeng nodded, temporarily put aside his worries, and put his clothes into the account.
"Geng'er come here, sit down and talk."
Zuo Liangyu was lying on the bed, his expression was a little sluggish, and when he saw that his eldest son had entered the tent, he couldn't help but cheer up a little, and casually ordered him to sit down.
"My son doesn't have to sit, is my father feeling better, but what's uncomfortable?"
Zuo Mengeng walked to the bed and replied respectfully.
Zuo Liangyu smiled bitterly: "My father's illness is clear in my father's heart, I'm afraid time is running out!" ”
"Father must never say that!" Zuo Mengeng's nose was sour, and he couldn't help shedding a few tears, and comforted: "Father, Lord is blessed by the gods, and it will be fine." ”
"Idiot, people are inherently dead, what are you afraid of! Since his father tied his hair, he has fought on the battlefield for decades, more than 100 battles of all sizes, life and death have long been seen, but I am afraid that before entering the ground, cough cough, the hegemony has not been achieved, and there is no resentment! When Zuo Liangyu said this, his tiger eyes were slightly wet, and he felt a sense of heroic twilight.
Seeing his father coughing, Zuo Mengeng hurriedly approached his side, stroked his back and said: "I believe that my father's hegemony will be successful, the Qing monarch will be on the side, and the traitorous ministers will definitely be famous in history in the future!" There are still tens of thousands of troops outside the tent, they can't leave their father for a day, and they have to take care of their father's body, they must hold on! ”
"Ahem......" Zuo Liangyu coughed a few more times, and when he heard this, he was quite relieved, and his face finally had some blood.
After drinking the medicine prepared by Lao Langzhong, he was able to get out of bed and walk around, in the past few days of his illness, the left army has been stationed in Chengzi Town, which is fifteen miles away from the east of Jiujiang City, licking and playing with wounds, recuperating and recuperating, during which he did not attack the city again, but only sent cavalry to fetch food everywhere, plus harassment, and forced Jiujiang City to dare not act rashly with tired tactics, and waited for the commander to recover after the whole army attacked again.
"Marshal, there is an urgent military situation!"
"Quick!" Zuo Liangyu put down the celadon bowl containing gruel when he heard this, these days, because of his weak body, he can only eat gruel for every meal.
After a while, a scout who didn't dress up at night hurriedly lifted the curtain and entered, and after seeing Zuo Liangyu, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "Back to the marshal, the imperial court has sent a large army over, and it has now arrived in Anqing, and it will arrive in Jiujiang in a few days." ”
Zuo Liangyu said with a solemn gaze: "Do you know how many people there are, and who leads the army?" ”
The scout said: "According to small speculation, when there are no less than 40,000 land and water troops, including many soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Jingnan, the army is led by the new emperor and the royal driver is personally recruited. ”
Zuo Liangyu was still very dignified when he heard that there was Huang Degong's department in the army that came to help, and when he heard that the army was led by the new emperor and the royal driver was personally recruited, he immediately turned his worries into joy, and couldn't help laughing: "The erector is not self-sufficient, God really helps me!" Is this message reliable? ”
