Chapter 69: An Enemy Strikes
I saw Niu Jinxing secretly use his hand to pinch his thigh hard, a sharp pain came, he gritted his teeth and endured, but there was a layer of tears in his eyes, and then, I heard him say sadly, "Generalissimo, my subordinate was originally a rotten person, over the years, thanks to your care, there is everything today, it stands to reason, subordinates should be repaid with death, but now my son is deep in the tiger's den, as a father, I only hope to be able to see him for the last time, but, this is not only what the result is, If the subordinates don't return, please take care of the generalissimo, the generalissimo's kindness can only be repaid in the next life. ”
After saying this, he saw Niu Jinxing kowtow to Li Zicheng three times, and then got up and walked outside the big tent.
"Knock Knock"
"Hey, Lao Niu, Zuo Fu, what are you doing this for, we have been brothers for so many years, the guns and swords and rain have all broken through, what is negotiable about such a trivial matter, don't forget, Delu is your son and my nephew, now my own son and nephew are in trouble, how can I watch it alone, come here, give an order, let Hao Shaoqi take Hao Ying's people and horses, and go to Yulin immediately, I must bring Delu's virtuous nephew back to me, and I will also ask him for a single hair."
is worthy of being Li Zicheng's absolute confidant, Niu Jinxing has already pondered his mind clearly, Niu Jinxing used this hand to force the palace, if it is placed on other leaders, it is likely to not work, because this has some meaning of blackmailing the boss, but Li Zicheng is different.
Although Li Zicheng will be wary of Hao Shaoqi and Li Yan, in essence, the current King Li Chuang is not a leader who really has the heart of an emperor, but a big brother who values feelings and stresses righteousness.
Hearing Li Zicheng's words, Li Yan, who had already breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly stood up and said, "Generalissimo, although there are only more than 20,000 people in Hao Shaoqi's department, and the soldiers are all recruits, but after all, they are among us, the only army that has not attacked the city, if it is transferred like this, when the Ming army comes, we"
As soon as Li Yan's words were said here, he saw Li Zicheng wave his hand and said with a serious face, "I know what you mean, but I also said just now, Delu Xian's nephew is not only Lao Niu's son, but also our son's nephew, now our nephew is in danger, can you let me watch him die, no, it is impossible, even if I Li Zicheng don't want this world, I can't let the world poke my backbone, Xi'an City is here, we can't fight today and we can continue to fight tomorrow, but if Luxian's nephew dies, But it can't be saved anymore, as for the Ming army reinforcements you are worried about, not to mention, we have been in Xi'an for so long, if there are reinforcements, it should have appeared a long time ago, and it will take until now. ”
Seeing Li Zicheng's solemn face, Li Yan could only sigh helplessly and stopped talking, but the sad expression on his face deepened a little.
When the news of Li Zicheng's decision to send troops reached Hao Shaoqi's hands, Hao Shaoqi, who was still a little nervous, suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha, okay, it's finally here, I finally waited for this opportunity, I didn't expect that I, Hao Shaoqi, would have to lead the troops again." ”
Since he defected to Li Zicheng and was named a general, Hao Shaoqi has never led the troops, even if he later relied on Niu Jinxing, and recruited more than 20,000 people, but they are all crooked melons and cracked dates, not to mention the elite, even ordinary soldiers are not as good, except for doing logistics work, it is useless at all, in this way, Hao Shaoqi is not to mention leading the troops.
"Congratulations to the general, General Hexi, with this opportunity to lead the troops, the general is no less than a tiger descending the mountain, the dragon returning to the sea, if the general goes well, maybe he will be able to rise again." Mr. Tong, who had been standing next to Hao Shaoqi, spoke.
"Yes, with this opportunity, I will be able to take the opportunity to expand my power, when the time comes, there is Li Zicheng in front of me, I will develop secretly, and when he fights to the death with the imperial court, it will be the time for me to rise again, and at that time, I want to see what he Li Zicheng will regret." Hearing Mr. Tong's words, Hao Shaoqi spoke.
"The general said well, in fact, we went to attack Yulin this time, it is the best place, after following the general last time, I found that Yulin is really good now, not only the city wall is strong, there are many people, but also easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is really a good place, when we successfully lay down Yulin this time, the general might as well take Yulin as the center, calmly arranged, in order to wait for tomorrow's change." Mr. Tong continued.
"Okay, that's right, the yellow-haired boy was so angry last time that I was not light, this time I will bring the army over, I must fulfill my promise, let him regret it for life." Hao Shaoqi clenched his fists and said
"Sister, sister, sister, come out quickly, I have something big to tell you, hurry up, hurry up." In the Forbidden City, in the back garden, on a path leading to the fish-viewing platform, a little girl was holding her skirt and trotting quickly, followed by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, but she still couldn't catch up with her.
"Hahaha, hey, it's really you everywhere, I finally came out to breathe, you chased after me again, let's say, what is the big deal this time, is it the young lady of the Li Mansion who met someone unladylike, or the son of the Zhou Mansion who robbed the people's daughter, aren't these all things that you want to do for the heavens, how did you find me here today, do you want me to help you do something!"
Zhu Weiyuan, who was sitting on the fish viewing platform, gently pinched the fish food in the delicate small bowl in her hand, grabbed a little from time to time, and threw it into the fish pond, which caused the colorful carp inside to rush and scramble, and said softly without even moving.
Hearing her sister's words, Zhu Weier, who was so tired that she couldn't even breathe, suddenly blushed and said, "What's the matter, how can I recruit you for this little thing, I have solved it myself, this time it is really a big thing, it is about Sister You, I just heard someone say, it seems that my father has just publicly announced in the court, I want to choose a horse for you, the Ministry of Rites has already begun to operate, didn't I come to you as soon as I got the news?" ”
As soon as Zhu Weier's words were finished, she heard a "poof", and after a closer look, it turned out to be the delicate small bowl that her sister was holding in her hand, which fell into the fish pond, but her sister sat there like a fool, and did not move for a long time.
'Choose a horse, do you really need to be in such a hurry, the current major affairs of the court can't be dealt with, my father is still thinking about this matter, do you really want to marry me out so eagerly for a clueless thing, but, what can I do, as the daughter of my father, what else can I do except receive the order, the princesses of the past dynasties, which one is not like this, it's just that why my heart is so sour, so uncomfortable. ’
Seeing the sad expression on her sister's face, Zhu Wei'er also felt uncomfortable in her heart, and immediately took Zhu Weiyuan's hand and said, "Sister, you say, do you want to tell Brother Shi about this, he promised to come back to pick you up, if we tell him, he is so smart, he will definitely think of a way." ”
"Ah, no, no, no, don't tell him, his current situation must be very difficult, going to that remote courtyard alone, a barren place, it will definitely not be good, if you tell him about it, he will definitely be very embarrassed, forget it, let's look at the will of God, if God makes us fateless, no matter how we toss, what can we change." Zhu Weiyuan seemed to be saying to Zhu Weier, and she seemed to be muttering to herself, but the declining expression was the same as the sunset that was about to set on the horizon, so poignant, so sad, and at the same time so helpless.
"My lord, my lord, it's not good, the scouts in front have sent information, saying that there is a large army coming towards us, and it is less than thirty miles away from our county seat, please prepare early." Just threw down the brush in his hand, Shi Lei was about to rest for a while, when he suddenly heard the door 'bang' and someone knocked it open, and then, he saw Chitu breaking in with an anxious face, and shouted loudly.
"Bang Bang"
With a rapid sound of the bell, all the people of Yulin City were stunned, but soon, the street was suddenly jumped by the people who woke up, and all the people of Yulin remembered what this bell represented, although it has not been remembered for many years, but the people of Yulin will not forget its sound.
Although those displaced people did not know about this bell, when they saw the reaction of the locals in Yulin, they also understood the meaning of this bell, which was the invasion of foreign enemies.
Although no one knew what the enemy was, they stayed at home and kept the door tightly closed to avoid the enemy's damage.
"Let's talk about it, Chitu, tell me all the information you know, so that everyone can hear what is going on, and who is coming to attack our Yulin." In the county hall of the county government, Shi Lei and a group of henchmen sat together to discuss.
"There are about 20,000 of them, most of them are infantry, only a small number of cavalry, so, I'm sure they are not from the grassland, they should be people from the Guannei, judging from their clothes, it is quite mixed, at first I thought it was people who broke into the army, but these people don't look like it, if it weren't for the number of people, I thought they were a group of bandits." Hearing Shi Lei's words, Chitu told all the information he knew in detail.
