(Xie: Three Yellow Teeth, the magical golden beetle, and the reward of the three brothers Moshaocong.) Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info thanks: Coke plus some ice, Hou Dudu her father, ACXLD and other brothers' tickets. )
The two of them came to stand under the rain-sheltering corridor behind the yamen hall one after the other, Wang Yuan turned around and asked with a smile: "What is so mysterious, but I have to come out alone to speak." ”
Zhao Qing frowned and said, "Dashuai won't really forget about this." The three ladies and more than 100 brothers led the people of Weizhou on the way to come. The lowly is very worried about this. Although we won a big victory last night, most of the thieves fled in defeat, and most of the direction of escape was to the west. Now that it is raining heavily, lightning and thunder, how can the three ladies and the people arrive as soon as possible? It would have been very bad if they had been defeated by the rebels, and even if they hadn't been defeated, they wouldn't have been able to arrive in the early afternoon. Isn't the marshal worried about this? ”
Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he sighed: "It turns out that you want to talk about this." How could Ben Shuai forget about this? It's just that Ben Shuai didn't say it. Ben Shuai is worried that speaking out will make everyone worried. In fact, after the battle, I have been worried that the fleeing rebels will encounter the possibility of the army of Twelve Niang and the people, but I have to arrange the retreat of Yan Taishou and the soldiers and civilians in Pingyuan City before I can deal with this matter. If you don't talk to me about it, I'll ask you for it. After a while, the rain will be a little lighter, and I will personally go to pick up the twelve mothers and the people, you and Tan Ping will take the brothers to protect Yan Taishou and the soldiers and civilians in the city and evacuate Pingyuan City according to the plan just drawn. After I find the twelve mothers, I will take them directly to the south to catch up with you. If we can't meet halfway, we will meet on the bank of the Yellow River. ”
Zhao Qing hurriedly said: "Let the humble post go to pick it up, how can the handsome go in person?" There is also a need for a big handsome here. ”
Wang Yuan shook his head and smiled: "Everything has been arranged, what is there to sit on." You are responsible for keeping the people safe along the way. It's something I have to do personally, and I can't do it before. You have to remember that the responsibility here is even greater, and you have to ensure the safety of all the people, and you must not take it lightly. If something goes wrong, I'm the only one who asks. ”
Zhao Qing knew that the handsome man had made up his mind, and persuasion was useless, so he nodded and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the handsome man will do his best to do his best, and there will be no mistakes." ”
Wang Yuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are very good, not only loyal, but also thoughtful, and Ben Shuai is very satisfied with you." You and Tan Ping are the most trusted people around me, and you two will be necessary for me to reuse in the future. When the rebellion is put down, the commander will recommend you to go to the shepherd side and take charge alone. The two of you have been by my side, and your official promotion is not fast, and I feel guilty in my heart. In short, I, Wang Yuan, can share hardships and prosperity, and will not treat the people around me badly. ”
Zhao Qing hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I haven't thought about it, I just hope to be able to follow the handsome on an errand, and I will benefit a lot from following the handsome." ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "That's it, let's talk about these things later, this matter is settled." I also have to say hello to Yan Taishou, this matter must be made known to him, otherwise he will not know why. ”
When the two returned to the hall, Wang Yuan called Yan Zhenqing, Li Heng, Tan and others aside, told them about the matter, and frankly said that he would immediately set off to pick up Li Xin'er and the people. Yan Zhenqing nodded again and again when he heard this: "It's time to go, it's time to go, Wang Xiangguo should have gone to answer it a long time ago." Mrs. Xian and more than seven or eight thousand people are still on the road, and this matter is a big deal. Otherwise, let's postpone the departure, and wait for Xiangguo to meet the arrival of Mrs. Zun and the people, and then gather together and leave. ”
Wang Yuan waved his hand and said: "Absolutely not, we must not delay the trip here because of them." This is the life of nearly 40,000 soldiers and civilians, and there is no room for the slightest mistake. Yan Taishou must evacuate according to the original plan, and I will find those people on the way and lead them to the Yellow River crossing. Yan Taishou, we all have a great responsibility, the lives of the people are in our hands, we can't trap the people. ”
Yan Zhenqing sighed and nodded: "It seems that it can only be like this." Xia Guan is just worried about one thing, just in case...... What if Madame Zun and the thousands of people were confronted by the fleeing thieves? ”
The crowd was silent, and they couldn't imagine that it would be a tragedy if they encountered a fleeing rebel. Thousands of people, more than 100 guards escorted by Wang Yuan, and Wang Yuan's three wives are afraid that they will not be spared, but it is a high probability that the defeated rebels will be defeated, because a large number of defeated troops will flee to the west, and it is very likely that they will encounter a team of people with a large number of people with a large number of goals, and it is by no means an accident if they do. Everyone understands this, but they all deliberately avoid the topic.
Wang Yuan sighed and smiled: "If you really encounter the rebels, you can only say that it is fate." If thousands of people are afflicted, the lives of the three wives of my royal family will not be more precious than the people. In short, I can only say that I pray that everything will go well, that I will find them and bring them safely to the banks of the Yellow River. ”
Yan Zhenqing sighed, bowed his hand to Wang Yuan respectfully, and said, "Wang Xiangguo, Yan doesn't know what to say." You came here to save Yan, if you let a few Mrs. Zun have three longs and two shorts, then Yan will really feel guilty for a lifetime. ”
After listening to Yan Zhenqing's words, everyone was grim and silent.
Wang Yuan laughed and said, "What's wrong with you?" Can't you think of the good? It's as if something bad has happened. Well, I won't talk to you any more. You are all pessimistic people, and I am full of confidence, but I am a little uneasy when you say this. Tan Ping, go and prepare the horses, and then pick fifty brothers to follow me, and set off in half an hour. ”
Tan Ping nodded and agreed, and immediately went to prepare, Wang Yuan looked at the sky outside and smiled: "The rain has already decreased a lot, everyone has a lot of things to do, so let's go and prepare." ”
Everyone dispersed with a heavy heart, Wang Yuan turned around and walked to the back hall, and when he came to the corridor, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "Marshal Wang, please stay." ”
Wang Yuan turned around and saw that it was Li Heng, the king of Feng. So he smiled and said, "Is there something wrong with Lord Feng?" ”
Li Heng frowned and said, "Marshal Wang really doesn't go with the big army?" ”
Wang Yuan said: "I can't ignore the people who rushed here, and besides, there are my three wives. The prince was not worried, and followed the large army to the south. On the way, listen to General Yan Taishou Zhao and General Tan. Although you are the prince, you have never experienced such a thing, so it's right to listen to others. ”
Li Heng hurriedly said: "This is natural, but this king means to accompany Marshal Wang to pick up the people who came to meet him." This king also wants to do his part. ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Lord Wang, I have received your wishes, in fact, I understand what you are thinking in your heart." Lord Wang, this trip you followed me to take risks, and I experienced a lot of risks along the way, and my impression of Lord Wang has also changed. To tell you the truth, I have already decided one thing in my heart, which has something to do with the prince. When we return to Chengdu safely, the prince will know about my decision. Until then, I hope that the prince will be able to obey the instructions and work together with everyone to tide over the difficulties in front of me. ”
Li Heng was overjoyed, his intention to go with Wang Yuan was actually to win Wang Yuan's favor. Unexpectedly, although Wang Yuan didn't make it clear, the meaning of his words seemed to be that he had decided to help him compete for the crown prince, and the excitement in Li Heng's heart was indescribable. If you really get Wang Yuan's support, you will have the upper hand in the competition for the crown prince, and the chances of winning are much greater, which is a great joy. For a while, Li Heng was so excited that she was stunned and smirked speechless, not knowing what to say. After he stabilized his mood easily, he found that Wang Yuan had already turned around and strode towards the back hall.
Half an hour later, dozens of cavalry braved the slightest rain curtain to rush out of the west of the plain city. After Wang Yuan led Tan Ping and fifty cavalry guards out of the city, he walked non-stop along the muddy official road after the rain to the west.
Since Gongsun Lan's body has not recovered, it is impossible for Wang Yuan to take her with him. Zhao Qing could only find a big car and let Gongsun Lan go south with the team. Ah Luo wanted to come along, but Wang Yuan considered that Gongsun Lan had no one to serve him, so he could only let Ah Luo stay and take care of Gongsun Lan.
An hour after Wang Yuan's departure, the torrential rain stopped and the sky cleared. When the scorching sun re-emerged from the clouds, the south gate of Plains City was opened, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians began to slowly leave the city. Nearly 40,000 people and soldiers and horses together, together with supplies, grain and grass, and hundreds of simple flatbed carts carrying thousands of old and weak people, the whole team stretched for five or six miles, and began the difficult road to the south on the muddy road after the heavy rain.
……
Wang Yuan led the cavalry to gallop on the official road, because the ground was too dry some time ago, and the dust on the official road was several inches thick. After the rainstorm fell, the official road became a muddy field, and the horses' hooves galloped past, and the mud carried by them splashed everywhere, and all the relatives and guards were covered with dirt and mud. The horses also struggled to run on such roads, and after running for an hour, the men and horses were tired enough, but they could only travel less than twenty miles.
In addition, there is no sign of human beings on this road, the muddy land is empty after the rain, and the ditches and streams caused by the torrential rain are surging, and even if you walk along the official road, you will see many places flooded by the torrential rain, and the fallen trees are impassable in the rapids. Although the rainstorm was a rainstorm, it came too violently and caused great damage. Although Wang Yuan and his party rode horses, they had to spare several times in order to maintain the direction of going west.
All this worries Wang Yuan more than the muddy and difficult road. It is conceivable that Li Xin'er, Qingyun'er and the seven or eight thousand people will not be able to escape the invasion of this rainstorm. And there must be floods and blocked roads on their walking routes. He and his guards had to take a detour, and it was impossible for the people to pass smoothly.
If this is the case, then it poses a very serious problem. If Li Xin'er and the people's team were forced to make a detour, it was likely that their walking direction would deviate from the official road. Under the torrential rain, the official road is actually no different from the surrounding ground, and it is even more difficult to walk. So whether Li Xin'er and they are still going east along the official road is a question that cannot be determined. If they go off the rails, you're likely to pass them by, and you won't be able to find them at all. Although it is located in the plains. But on such a plain, there are a handful of woods in the east and a slope in the west, and the line of sight is so seriously obstructed that unless they are within a very close distance, such as within two or three miles, they cannot be found at all. This will be a big concern.
But even so, Wang Yuan could only lead people along the official road to the west, because following the official road was the most reliable way and the most likely to meet head-on, so Wang Yuan had no choice.
