Chapter 487: Rushing to Taiyuan

*****

Yang Yi 1,000 men and horses rushed to Taiyuan day and night, the wind and snow along the way were like knives, the face was painful, the mountains had been covered with snow, the snow on the road had not passed the horses' hooves, and when they arrived at Yuci, which was not far from Taiyuan Mansion, it was already three days later.\\

The sky finally cleared, the snow reflected the sun, dazzling and painful, Yuci County was relatively small affected by the earthquake, hundreds of houses collapsed, more than 200 people were killed and injured;

On the day of the earthquake, he opened the official warehouse to distribute clothes, quilts, rice and grain, and actively carried out relief, and more than 100 affected households were relatively well resettled.

When Yang Yi led the army into Yuci, it was already evening, and the smoke of cooking everywhere in the city made Yang Yi's hanging heart a little calmer, and he hastily ate food in Yuci, and inquired about the local disaster, Yang Yi set off again, ran north, and arrived at Taiyuan City at the second watch.

Taiping rejuvenation four years, Song Taizong conquered the Northern Han Dynasty when the original Jinyang ancient city was destroyed, the current Taiyuan city is the Taiping rejuvenation of the country in the east of Fenshui to build a new city, the circumference of the new city is eleven miles and 270 steps, build four gates: the east is called Chaoxi, the south is said to be far away; Jinsu in the west; North called Huaide.

Although the scale of the new city cannot be compared with the original old city, it is more strategically located in the north and south of Jinzhong.

The Great Song Dynasty was stationed in Taiyuan with heavy troops, and the Mengqijia Rebellion had threatened Taiyuan City, and when Yang Yier arrived at the South Gate to open a long gate, the city was still brightly lit.

Yang Yi asked people to call the door, but the defenders in the city did not open it, and they had to check Yang Yi's official seal letter. Yang Yi had no choice but to put his official seal into the bamboo basket hanging down at the head of the city, and waited for the defenders of the city to hang the bamboo basket. After Mo Zhaonan, the second general of Hedong, personally verified that it was correct, he ordered the door to be opened.

Rows of torches lit up in the city gate, and Mo Zhaonan's armor was on his body. Hurriedly came out of the city to plead guilty to Yang Yi and said: "Please forgive Senior Yang for the offense of the last general, it is really Meng Qijia, a group of traitors, who pretended to be a forbidden army after seizing a large number of swords, guns and armor of the seventh general. Successively deceived the two gates of Shiling Pass and Chitang Pass, and our army suffered two heavy defeats in succession, and it was the last general who had to be so cautious. ”

Mo Zhaonan was around forty, tall, and his voice was full of anger, Yang Yi glanced at him and said, "General Mo doesn't need to say much. Let me ask you, how is the current injury of the chapter scripture? ”

"Back to Yang University, Zhang Jingluo was smashed and injured in the heart, and the doctors in the city treated him in many ways, but he has not been saved so far."

"You have someone to arrange food and lodging for my thousand soldiers, and in addition, take me to see the envoy of Zhang Jing immediately."

Shuaiji was originally built on a high slope. Now that it has collapsed, the surviving officials have moved to the Criminal Division;

While taking Yang Yi to the Punishment Division, Mo Zhaonan reported to him the current situation in Hedong: "Scholar Yang, Meng Qijia is from the forbidden army and knows a lot about the military formation. After successfully attacking Liu Yijie's seventh general at Shigu Mountain, he went south overnight;

Bypassing Yizhou all the way to the south, pretending to be a forbidden army to deceive Shiling Pass and Chitang Pass one after another, garrisoning two passes and three battalions of men and horses were sneak attacked, and the army was defeated, and a large amount of grain and grass military funds fell into the hands of traitors, and now the rebels have nearly 10,000 people, and cut off the road from Taiyuan to Yizhou;

The traitors are now looting in Yizhou, Dingxiang, Xiurong, Tuhezhai and other places, recruiting troops and horses, according to the scouts in the army, Meng Qijia ordered the rebels to loot first, burned the people's houses, forced the people homeless, Meng Qijia then gave food relief, and recruited young and strong as thieves by the way, which is the speed of development of the thief army is extremely amazing.

Yesterday, General Meng Qing led the sixth general with 4,000 men and horses to the north out of Baijing Village, and was preparing to recapture the two passes of Chitang and Shiling, and open up the road from Taiyuan Mansion to Yizhou. In addition, the first general stationed in Daizhou with 5,000 men, led by General Zhang Shiyong, also urgently went south to prepare to flank the rebels from the north and south. ”

Since ancient times, all rebels will be plundered, burned houses, cut off the people's way of life, so that most of the people in order to survive, they have to join the rebels, this trick is not the first to Meng Qijia, but history has long proved that this trick is very effective, tried and tested.

And this is also the most serious damage to the place, where the thieves pass through, it will often become a scorched earth, and the people's livelihood will be devastated.

Yang Yi heard that the rebel leader Meng Qijia had used this most cruel move, his eyes became cold and abnormal, and before he arrived at the Criminal Division, he resolutely ordered: "General Mo, immediately pass on my order, with Meng Qing's sixth general, before the sun goes down tomorrow, recapture the two passes of Chitang and Shiling, open the passage from Taiyuan to Yizhou, and tell him that even if he fights all the sixth generals, he must complete the task, otherwise I will ask him." ”

"Whoa!"

Mo Zhaonan was shocked in his heart, responded loudly, and immediately sent a fast horse to pass Yang Yi's military order.

Yang Yi continued: "In addition to your second general and fifth general staying behind in Taiyuan Mansion, the rest of the eighth and ninth generals hurriedly prepare, cook on the fourth watch tomorrow morning, and set off for Yizhou on the fifth watch, there must be no mistake." ”

"Whoa!"

Yang Yi rushed to the Criminal Division, did not have time to ask about the disaster in Taiyuan City, and went straight to Zhang Kai's place to recuperate, he and Zhang Kai fought side by side in the northwest, and when dealing with Western Xia, the two cooperated tacitly, and killed the Empress Dowager Liang and defeated again and again, and formed a deep friendship.

With Zhang Qi's talent, if it weren't for this accident, how could Meng Qijia be arrogant until now?

The Great Song Dynasty has always been very vigilant against local generals, and the garrisons in various places usually have to have orders from above to fight in their own defense areas;

Since Zhang Kai was transferred to the Hedong Road Economic Envoy, he also served as the commander of the Hedong Road Soldiers and Horses, and the commander-in-chief of Hedong military affairs, but now he is unconscious, and there are seventy or eighty thousand troops in the entire Hedong sky, but he cannot respond in time, so that Meng Qijia can sit big in a short period of time and wreak havoc on the entire territory of Yizhou.

God really bless the Great Song.

The smell of herbs in Zhang Qi's room was strong, and there were two Lang Zhong guarding in front of the bed, Yang Yi hurriedly walked in, and just as they were about to stop it, they signaled for Mo Zhaonan to get out of the way.

Yang Yi personally stepped forward to help Zhang Kai carefully diagnose the pulse and check the injury, Zhang Kai broke two muscles and bones in his chest, but the real reason for his unconscious should be the congestion in the lungs, which made him short of breath and lack of oxygen, which in turn led to the weakening of myocardial contractility, insufficient blood supply to the body, and the whole person was on the edge of life and death.

After Yang Yi's diagnosis, he immediately prescribed a blood house and stasis soup for the symptoms: three coins each for angelica and raw land, four coins for peach kernels, three coins for safflower, two coins each for citrus aurantium and red peony, one dollar for Bupleurum chinensis, two dollars for licorice, one and a half dollars for bellflower, one and a half dollars for Chuanxiong, and three dollars for hyssop.

Another dose of medicine for the treatment of fractures, supplemented by the technique of gold needle puncture and blood flow, was demonstrated to the two Lang Zhong one by one, and after the two Lang Zhong learned his identity, they did not dare to slack off and wrote down his words carefully.

As soon as Yang Yi came out of Zhang Ji's ward, he couldn't help but take a long breath, and the generals such as Xiang Chaoran and Mo Zhaonan asked about Zhang Qi's condition.

Yang Yi shook his head and said: "If you can disperse blood and stasis at that time, it probably won't be a big problem, but now it has been stasis for a few days, the longer it drags on, the more difficult it is to treat, although good medicine is applied now, but the key depends on Zhang Jinglu's own body's recovery ability, the best result is at least a few months of bed recuperation, if it is ......"

Yang Yi didn't say anything, but his solemn expression was enough to show that Zhang Qi might leave at any time.

Whether it is to govern the army or to govern the government, Zhang Kai's ability is very outstanding, the new party has only been in power for a few years, and the talent training has not kept up with the needs of development.

Once Zhang Qi is gone, the Great Song Dynasty is preparing to fight Yanyun, and there will be no suitable candidate to sit in the north. For Da Song, this is a great loss, and now he can only pray to God to bless Zhang Qi.

There are not many officials in the Criminal Division, such as the Taiyuan Prefect, the General Judgment, the Record of Joining the Army, etc., all went down to provide disaster relief, and when the Shuai Si built on the slope collapsed, many officials were killed and injured.

The little official brought the meal, and Yang Yi asked while eating: "Lord Xiang, has the number of casualties in Taiyuan Mansion been counted now?" How is the relief going? Have all the affected people been properly resettled? ”

Xiang Chaoran cautiously replied: "Scholar Yang Daxue, a total of more than 600 houses have collapsed in Taiyuan City, and even more houses have collapsed in various villages and towns, and the preliminary statistics have reached more than 2,000, but most of the collapsed outside the city are adobe houses or thatched houses, and the number of casualties is not as serious as in the city, and the results of the statistics in the past few days are 1,243 casualties in the city, 1,121 casualties in each village, and some people are missing. ”

"How many people are missing?"

"More than 400 people are still missing."

Yang Yi's brows wrinkled again, this ice and snow, it has been several days, as long as it is missing, it can basically be counted in the death count;

Taiyuan was originally stationed with heavy troops, four or five days have passed, and so many people are missing, which shows that the progress of the search and rescue work is very unsatisfactory, because most of the current houses are bamboo and wood structures, which are not as difficult to pry open as the reinforced concrete of later generations.

"Immediately let all the young people in their own jurisdiction to carry out a thorough cleaning of the collapsed houses in parts, and find all the missing people as soon as possible. At the same time, in accordance with the original system of protecting armor, a joint defense team was organized to maintain local law and order, arrest lawlessness, and prevent rebellion. ”

Xiang Chaoran said hesitantly: "Scholar Yang, the armor protection law has been abolished for more than a year, and now you are organizing armor protection ...... without authorization."

"Just do what I say." Yang Yi was even more dissatisfied with Xiang Chaoran, and said in a deep voice: "The system is dead, people are alive, you don't care about him, and getting through the difficulties in front of you is the first priority." ”

"Yes, this is what the next official will do." Xiang Chaoran saw that Yang Yi's face was not good, and he didn't dare to contradict it again, so he hurriedly ordered his officials to do it.

Yang Yi then said to Mo Zhaonan: "You pass on my military order again, the eighth general does not have to go out tomorrow, stay and join the disaster relief work with the fifth general." ”

Mo Zhaonan said worriedly: "My lord, all the armies have gone to the disaster relief, what if there is a rebellion in the place?" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
