Chapter 37: Changes (2)
On weekdays, the gate of the military palace is not guarded, but now that there is a war, there are eight guards with knives, guarding the gate with a sinister face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The military mansion was only ten miles away from Ying County, and Lu Chengkong ran to the door, already panting and sweating profusely. He has followed Lu Liang in and out of the military palace since he was a child, and most of the soldiers in the palace know him. So he didn't care about the guards at the door, and ran towards the house with his head buried.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he only heard the sound of "brushing", and a guard pulled out the Tang knife on his waist and said angrily: "Who are you?" Miscellaneous people are not allowed to enter! ā
Lu Chengkong looked at it fixedly, only to feel that these eight soldiers were quite eye-catching, and they were definitely not from the military government of Yingxian County, and secretly thought: "It must be an urgent military situation, and the government soldiers from all over the country have come here to assemble." ā
"I ...... I am ......" He explained while looking into the house, but when he saw Pang An not far away, he immediately shouted loudly: "Pang An, Pang An!" ā
Pang An was already the commander of the military palace, and when he saw that it was Lu Chengkong, he walked over quickly, explained a few words to the guards, and then led him into the military palace.
"Is there a war in Nangang?" Lu Chengkong saw that there was no one around, and hurriedly asked.
Pang An shook his head and said, "This is a secret in the army, how can I tell you?" ā
"You...... Say it quickly! Lu Chengkong saw that Pang An deliberately didn't say anything, and he was even more anxious to stomp his feet.
Seeing Lu Chengkong's impatient appearance, Pang An also turned his head to look around, and after making sure that there was no one, he whispered: "Cui Xiliang has indeed rebelled, and he has already attacked Nangang City a few days ago. ā
Lu Chengkong didn't ask Cui Xiliang the reason for the rebellion, he only thought about the scene of the battle between the two sides, and asked, "When are we going to send troops?" ā
Pang An said: "Is fighting child's play? Lingzhou and Yingxian do not have the right to transfer troops, and our government soldiers have to wait for Chang'an's military orders here before they can fight. ā
Lu Chengkong asked again: "How many people are there in Cui Xiliang?" ā
Pang An sighed and said, "I learned from the army this morning that Cui Xiliang led five hundred people to revolt in Xiangshan, and it only took two days to capture Xiangxian and Fengxian. There were less than a hundred defenders in these two places, and after Trixilian broke the city......" Pang An said here, and stopped again.
"Tell me about it!" Seeing this, Lu Chengkong became anxious.
Pang An frowned and said: "Today's words, you must not say them, otherwise it will disturb the morale of the army, if it reaches the ears of others, you and I will be dealt with by military law." Seeing that Lu Chengkong nodded vigorously, he continued: "Cui Xiliang captured Xiangxian and Feng County, not only opened the grain depot of the county government and distributed it to the people, but also recruited thousands of strong soldiers, and their morale should be in full swing at this time. ā
Lu Chengkong asked, "What about Nangang?" I...... In the teahouse, I saw a lot of people who fled from Nangang, they said that the rebels were strong and strong, and there were some officials in Nangang, but they all surrendered Cui Xiliang? ā
Pang An sighed and said: "Hey, we are just just a district government soldier, as for the surrender, you must not say it, otherwise it will mess up the morale of the army, but you will be killed!" ā
As he was talking, a soldier came to Pang An's side and whispered a few words to him. Pang An frowned slightly, and instructed Lu Chengkong: "Chengkong, the military situation is urgent, you go back quickly, don't run around!" After saying that, he ignored him and walked quickly towards the house.
Lu Chengkong had to come to Lu Liang's room, but he was nowhere to be seen. At this time, there was a war in Nangang, and looking at the nervous expressions of everyone in the military mansion, Lu Chengkong became restless again, pacing back and forth in the room.
For some reason, as soon as Lu Chengkong heard that there was a war, his heart was both nervous and expectant, and there seemed to be a force surging in his chest......
After only a moment, Lu Liang pushed the door into the house, saw Lu Chengkong's restless appearance, and asked, "Chengkong...... What are you doing here? ā
Lu Chengkong pressed his chest, took a deep breath, and asked, "But there was a war in Nangang?" ā
Lu Liang patted Lu Chengkong's shoulder, motioned for him to sit down, and said, "It's not just that there is a war...... turned around, sighed, and said, "Hey...... Nangang has been occupied by Cui Xiliang. ā
Lu Chengkong's eyes widened: "What...... How so? ā
Lu Liang took off his coat, picked up the dagger on the table and put it on his waist, and said: "Cui Xiliang has been recruiting troops for a while, but the people of Nangang have not found out, how did they expect that when he attacked the city, there were thousands of soldiers and horses...... He had succeeded in a sudden night attack three days earlier. ā
"What about the casualties in Nangang?"
"More than half of the county."
"Nangang County Order, but abandon the city and flee? But the other officials have demoted Tracylian? They ......"
"Shut up!" Lu Liang shouted loudly after hearing this, hurriedly walked to the door, poked his head out to investigate, and after making sure that there was no one, he immediately retreated to the room, closed the door tightly, stared at his eyes, lowered his voice, and reproached: "Don't talk nonsense about such surrenders!" If someone listens to it......" As he spoke, his tone became soft, and he said: "In a few months, you will enter Beijing in advance, and your father will not accompany you, you ......" Before he finished speaking, he heard a man ride to the door and shouted: "Lu Liang, Lu Liang!" ā
Lu Liang hurriedly opened the door and saw that it was from the Yamen of Yingxian County.
As soon as this person saw Lu Liang, he hurriedly said: "Captain Aodu has an order, everyone will go to the county office immediately, there must be no mistake!" ā
After Lu Liang responded, he immediately put on his coat and said to Lu Chengkong urgently: "You go back first." ā
Seeing that Pang An and Lu Liang were both anxious, Lu Chengkong expected that the military situation in Dingnangang was already urgent, and Cui Xiliang was by no means an idle person.
But the more this happened, the more inexplicable excitement he felt in his heart.
Lu Chengkong sat alone in the room, and he could already hear the "bang, bang, bang" heartbeat in his chest.
His heart was beating faster, and a crack had cracked in his chest.
At this moment, the power that had been pressed in the bottom of my heart and hidden for I don't know how long it had been hidden, burst open and occupied the entire chest.
ā¦ā¦
It wasn't until the evening that Lu Liang hurried back home.
Lu Chengkong hurriedly asked, "But Chang'an's military order has arrived?" ā
"The military order has arrived in Ying County in the afternoon." Lu Liang answered, and hurriedly went to the room to pack his bags.
As soon as the military order arrives, it means that the soldiers are about to go to battle.
Lu Liang lifted the burden, and while ********, he explained: "The military situation is urgent, and all the soldiers will rush to Nangang now!" When he looked at his son, his tone calmed down, and said: "Although Cui Xiliang has captured Nangang, it is still difficult to become a climate for a while, and Yingxian and Lingzhou should be safe." I don't know how long this battle will take. Chengkong, you haven't been far away since you were a child, if you haven't come back in a few months, go to this ...... in Chang'an Along the way, learn to take care of yourself. ā
Although Lu Chengkong was still unspeakably awkward when facing Lu Liang, he couldn't help but care at the moment: "You ...... Be careful! ā
"Don't worry, I've got my own measure." Lu Liang stopped, paused for a moment, and said earnestly: "Chengkong, you have reached the age of a weak crown, you are a man, and you must distinguish everything clearly. This time the opportunity to go to Beijing to catch the exam is rare, but don't be distracted by a mere thief, and you don't have to worry about your father. With that, he patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and then went out of the door and hurried towards the county seat.
