Chapter 62: Fear of the Enemy and Cowardice
After saying goodbye to Mao Dechun, Ziren's injury inevitably worsened, and he asked people to help fix the injured leg with a wooden plank, and then set off. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn order to save time, the troops were divided into two routes, and Zhou Daqi and Lei Zhenwei led the troops directly back to Changning Fort to repair the men and horses, replenish food and grass to prepare for the battle. Ma Shinan led a banner of horsemen and went to Liaoyang with him.
Along the way, Ziren thought about it carefully, Liaodong Town had just divided troops to aid Jizhou Town, and it was too much of a coincidence that the Mongolian Tartars gathered troops and horses to attack, and they were worried that they would be hit by the opponent's plan to attack the east and the west, so they hurriedly called Li Rumei and Li Dana to inform the two of their doubts.
After Li Rumei listened, she also faintly felt that something was wrong, and said with a frown: "My Liaodong Town soldiers are only 12 battalions of soldiers, and this time the reinforcements sent Yang Shaoxun, Yang Yuan, and Zu Chengxun three battalions of soldiers, plus Hu Yukun and Li Youming, the strength went to nearly one-third, and if Mengnu came to attack my Liaodong in a big way, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist." ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Dana continued: "The young master is reasonable, why don't I wait for the marshal, let him recall some soldiers and horses, and take precautions as soon as possible." ”
Li Rumei shook her head slightly at this time, and said helplessly: "During the Jiajing period, after the "Gengshu Change" and "Panjiakou Battle", Jizhou Town was repeatedly defeated and the Beijing division was in a hurry, and the imperial court had no choice but to gradually lighten Liaodong and focus on Jizhou. In order to prevent the loss of the capital, those inspectors will never allow my father to transfer troops back to help. ”
Ziren and Li Dana thought about it carefully, and they also felt that they were not sure of transferring troops to help, but they couldn't think of any other way, and they were about to disperse when they heard a woman's voice coming: "I said Da Meizi, this gentleman's injury is not healed yet, can't you let him rest?" ”
"Ruliu, can we not call it a nickname!" Hearing that it was her sister's voice, Li Rumei replied without replying, and then leaned into Ziren's ear and said softly: "Ziren, you don't know, my sister was in a hurry when you were in a coma for a few days, and she stayed by your bedside every day, you married her for the sake of my face, hey~ Ziren, what are you blinking." ”
As soon as the words fell, a malicious voice came from behind him: "Da Meizi, what do you mean by looking at your face, I think your kid has itchy skin!" Li Rumei looked back and saw that Li Ruliu had already drawn her sword. Sister, don't think about it, I mean for the sake of face, let Ziren let you do more in the future. Ruliu put down the sword quickly! Dana, Ziren, I have something to go first, and after arriving in Liaoyang, my house will meet...... "Worried that Li Ruliu didn't know how important it was, Li Rumei said and rode away."
With the experience of the past, Li Dana did not dare to stay for a long time, and got up to tell him under the pretext that he was going to the front to command the troops. Seeing that everyone else was gone, Li Ruliu came up and said with a smile: "Gentleman, you risked your life to save you that day, are you worried that something will happen to others?" ”
Li Ruliu asked so bluntly that Ziren didn't know how to answer for a while, and after touching his eyebrows, he said righteously: "General Li is now the general of my pacesetter battalion, how can I Ding Shouming stand by and watch when my colleagues are in trouble." After finishing speaking, Ziren looked her uniform up and down, and continued: "That's right! Miss Li, it's better for you to change back to your daughter's house in the future. ”
Hearing Ziren say this, Li Ruliu's little face turned red instantly, and she said squirmingly: "That~ Do you like the appearance of people wearing skirts." ”
Li Ruliu met Ziren a few times before, either shouting and beating or shouting to kill, this coldness and anger came, and the goosebumps on Ziren's body immediately rose, and he said forcibly: "Eh~ That's not it." Meng Nu is not an ordinary bandit and grass coward, Brother Rumei and I really have no time to be distracted to take care of it before the two armies, and Miss Li still leaves the barracks early. ”
"I hate you for being in charge! It's my own business. Li Ruliu replied with a pout, and then ran away angrily.
Ziren didn't know what kind of illness this girl was committing, but Liu Guangqiang happened to be nearby, and said loudly: "Uncle ~ No~ Liu Baihu, I bother you to go back and talk to the Li family's aunt, when the Mongolian Tatars retreat, I will come to the door to propose, this daughter's family is still far away from the battlefield." ”
"Whaha, this is easy to say, I will definitely come to drink your wedding wine when the time comes." Seeing that Ziren agreed to the marriage, Liu Guangqiang agreed with a smile.
Then the group concentrated on the road, and finally arrived in Liaoyang in the evening. Ziren is now inconvenient to walk, while asking Li Dana to invite Li Rumei, while choosing a crutch to walk, just a few steps to adapt to the crutches, Li Dana ran back alone, and said with a flickering eye: "Uncle, the young master suffered from the cold on the way back, and now he is in a cold sweat and needs bed rest, Hao Xun will not be able to go for a while." ”
"Li Rumei was still alive before, why is she suddenly sick now?" Ziren muttered in his heart, and then saw Li Dana's embarrassed face, he couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart, and said half-jokingly: "Da Meizi's body is too weak, shouldn't it be that Li Ruliu is scared?" ”
Hearing Ziren make a joke about his young master, Li Dana was not angry, and whispered: "Ziren, your injury is not healed now, it is better to take two days off from patrol." At this point, Dana Li stopped talking again.
Ziren heard a little clue from his words, and felt that something big must have happened, so he didn't bother to continue to ask, and directly took someone to visit the patrol yamen.
Meng Nu was about to detain the border, and Hao Jie had convened the generals yesterday to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy. As a result, everyone seemed to get some rumors, Li Xing and Li Qingqing both said that they were sick and on leave, and the rest of the few who were reluctant to attend only proposed to clear the wilderness and wait for Mongolia to retreat on its own. made it clear that he was afraid of the enemy, and Hao Jie was not upset.
Hearing that Ziren was coming, he hurriedly sent someone to invite him in. Seeing that Ziren had a splint on his foot and multiple scars on his face and hands, he immediately greeted him and asked with concern, "Ziren, how are your injuries?" The war went well. Seeing that Ziren was standing unsteadily, he followed again, "Come and take a seat." ”
"Xie Hao Xun cares." Ziren replied with a fist, and after sitting down, he said calmly: "This battle is quite smooth, more than 300 thieves were killed, another 100 people were captured, and 4,000 taels of silver were found from the mine to offset taxes." However, on the way back, some thieves' comrades blew up the mountain road, and the general was buried by the rocks for a while. ”
Speaking of this time, seeing the worry on Hao Jie's face, Ziren raised a few points, and said loudly: "But don't worry, I heard that the Tartars are coming, and the black and white impermanence will release me back and kill the enemy for the country!" ”
As soon as Hao Jie wanted to start praising him, he heard someone outside the door shouting: "Shenyang Wei has an urgent military intelligence report!" Before the words fell, I saw Sun Shoulian's brother-in-law 'Golden Crown' running in and handing Hao Jie a letter.
After Hao Jie took the letter, his brows instantly furrowed after just a few glances, and when he finished reading the letter, his two eyebrows were almost touching each other.
