Chapter 217: Abandoning the City and Withdrawing the Army
The King of the South and the King of the North rode to the gate of Shanxian County, the sergeant guarding the gate was unknown, and stepped forward to ask, but because the salute was slow, he was rewarded with a slap in the face, and the guards were stunned for a while, and the two kings walked into Shanxian County surrounded by the white turban sergeants.

The two heavenly kings taught their subordinates a lesson, turned a blind eye, and walked into the city gate and walked about three meters away, but suddenly heard a shout from the left front: "There are spies, over there." "A group of White Turbans, under the command of a captain, chased them into the alley, where someone had just run past, and only saw their backs.
The Northern Heavenly King couldn't help but pull the reins, frowned, and said, "After all, the official army has infiltrated in, and we need to be strictly guarded." ”
"Hmm." Gong Mingzan nodded, he was really unhappy in his heart, what kind of ghost did this Hongtian do, and he made such a mess when the Northern Heavenly King entered the city.
Gong Mingzan patted the horse's buttocks, and walked towards the county government of Shanxian County at the end of the street, the county government guards recognized the Nantian Wang Gong Mingzan, and hurriedly greeted him, all the way inside, and after a while, Hongtian came out to greet him.
Gong Mingzan couldn't help but ask: "I asked you to march to Wuxian first, why didn't you move at all, I don't take my orders seriously." ”
Hongtian looked confused, and said puzzledly: "I didn't receive an order to march to Wuxian, otherwise ......" Otherwise, he wouldn't have to snub Gongming with selfishness.
Gong Mingzan was puzzled: "You have not received an order, what about the messenger I sent." ”
Hongtian became more and more confused, and recalled: "I haven't seen your messenger from the Heavenly King to Shan County in the past few days. ”
Gong Mingzan was taken aback, and said angrily: "Hurry up and send someone to search on the road to Qiyang County and Heshan County." ”
A large group of white turban sergeants hurried out of Shanxian County.
I hurried to the military department, and wrote an order with a transcription in the middle of labor, just waiting for the silver seal of the county Sima to seal, the news that Huo Dashan reported to me was really precious, and the White Turban Army was going to go east and north, not to confront Wang Shi head-on, so that Donghai City was in danger.
On the other side, a sergeant had already invited Lao Bushen to come to the military department, and when he heard that the White Turban Army was preparing to march east to the north, his brows were tightly locked, and he couldn't be happy, so he asked me: "Huo Ling, is this news true?" ”
"It's true, the spy I sent out risked his life to intercept the letters carried by the messengers of the White Turban Army, you see." I took out the letter and handed it to Lao Bushen, who took the letter with a serious face, read it quickly, stood on the spot, and was silent for a long time.
"Hailing County can't be defended, I have already written the order, and I also ask Lord Sima of the county to seal it." I'll give the order to Lao Bushen.
"The White Turban Army is known as a 100,000-strong army, and my Donghai City has less than 10,000 defenders, how can I resist it?" Lao Bushen said worriedly, he walked to the front of the horizontal case of the ministry, took out the silver seal of the county Sima that he carried with him, took the red seal on the horizontal case casually, dipped it with the silver seal, and his eyes stopped on the letter of appointment.
There are only three sentences in the order, and the battalion leader of the Lao Bi Bureau personally inaugurates: abandon Hailing County, withdraw the army quickly, and return to Nanwang County. Lao Bushen pressed the silver seal hard, and the red seal printed on the order was so shocking, like human blood.
"Quickly send a messenger to inform the royal division and ask them to bite the White Turban Army." I said in a hurry, this is not a good idea, it is not easy to ask for people, let alone ask people to ignore life and death.
"There is no need for Nanwang County to defend it, so let's withdraw it." Lao Bu said dejectedly.
"Now the withdrawal from Nanwang County is still too hasty, the large army of the White Turban Army will move east and north, and the speed will not be very fast, but there is no need to hand over the city to the White Turban Army like this." I have already set up the Scout Cavalry Banner, Huo Dashan is honored as the general banner, Huo Baixun has been promoted to captain, Gang Bing, Gang Luo, as long as these people can not die, I will also reward them with the title of captain.
This is an intelligence network that I have laid out, which can be scattered in Donghai City, Nanwang County, and Hailing County, and it is difficult to do it no matter how far and wide it is, and it is necessary to step up the training of detectives and cavalry, and train secret agents, which is a slow and meticulous work.
Lao Bushen said: "We are going to fight a decisive battle to defend the city, and we can prepare in advance in the next few days." Lao Bushen's mind had already stayed on the East China Sea City, pondering how to give the White Turban Army a painful blow on the city wall, Lao Bushen left the military department, went to the Taishou Mansion, and met the third lady and Lao Feng's son.
In the military department, there is a holographic map of Donghai County, I stayed in front of the map, did not look away for a long time, stared at the mountains and rivers above and fell into a deep thought, how the White Turban Army will attack this time, if I knew the attack plan of the White Turban Army, it would be great.
A sergeant came in from outside and reported: "See the general, Miss Lao Qianying is outside to see the general." ”
"Oh," I came back to my senses, anyway, there was no good solution, so I walked out of the department, the military department is a confidential place in the army, Lao Qianying did not dare to exceed the rules, not allowed, although it is the respected status of the daughter of the Taishou of Donghai County, still standing in front of the gate and waiting quietly.
She wore a blue silk skirt and a pair of white pointed scalp boots on her feet, gentle and gorgeous, dignified and playful, and when she saw me appear, she immediately smiled and said softly: "I want to go to Dalang Lake to play, can you accompany me?" ”
"To Big Wave Lake?" There are still a few miles away from Dalang Lake, and it will take more than half a day to go back this time.
"Isn't it convenient?" Lao Qianying suddenly lost interest and asked.
"No, you wait for me, I'll arrange it." I turned around and called Huo Dashan to me, and told him to let Gao Jili bring a team of people to follow me to Dalang Lake, and at the same time, ask Huo Dashan to monitor the surroundings of Dalang Lake.
Lao Qianying wants to go to the shore of Dalang Lake to see the purple flowers of the bellflower bloom, before the White Turban Army did not make trouble in Donghai County, every summer she has to go to the Big Wave Lake to live for a few days, watch the purple flowers of the bellflower bloom, cruise on the Big Wave Lake, this time, the time has not been completely missed, she thought about going to see it again, seems to forget the threat of the White Turban Army.
She came in her family's luxurious canopy carriage, and she still took the carriage to Dalang Lake, and she sat in the carriage, and I rode on the right side of the carriage, and when I went out of the city, she lifted the curtain and said to me, "Do you know the purple flowers of the bellflower?" ”
I don't know anything about flowers, I shook my head.
She said: "There are patches of bellflower purple flowers on the shore of Dalang Lake, all of them are beautiful when they are in full bloom, I have to go to see them every year, this year I thought I would miss it, but I didn't expect to have a chance, it won't cause you trouble, you seem to have something on your mind." ”
I shook my head against my will and said, "It's okay, don't worry, there will be no trouble." "Although I walked out of the military department, my mind has not yet been withdrawn from the operational layout.
She believed it and said, "I have a purple floor-length silk dress, which is a skirt for the winter, and when it comes to winter, I will wear it to you, and it looks very good." ”
I said, "That's because of what you're wearing, and everything you wear looks good." But I was muttering in my heart: Actually, it looks best if you don't wear it.
She smiled and said, "Really? ”
I nodded, and yes.
She said, "Let me ask you a question, what do you think love is? ”
I looked at Lao Qianying's face, she was looking at me brightly, looking expectant, I couldn't help but say: "Love is unconsciously embarked on the road of lovesickness, love is able to clearly reflect the unforgettable bits and pieces of the past in my mind, maybe many years have passed, still remember that person, remember that love, one night, meet in a dream, you don't want to let go, but she disappeared without a trace, scared and helpless you were woken up, but found that it was a dream, so you couldn't sleep."
