Chapter 012: Mystery
The rain began to fall at a moment's notice, and when it was dawn, the rain began to become more rapid, and the river swelled, hitting a huge cliff in the river not far ahead, the Fish Cliff, like a cow's roar.
In fact, she also knew that if Yang Hao was still alive, she would be on the grassland on the south bank with her, but Yang Hao's trace disappeared from here, so she subconsciously came here, just hoping that the wisp of thought in the dark could get closer to him.
The river turned a turbid yellow due to the turbulent current, wrapped in mud and sand, broken wood, hitting the cliff bank, and then whirling around, continuing to rush downstream, standing on the cliff and watching the river roar, it didn't take long to be dizzy, and there was a feeling that my feet were moving fast, as if I was standing on the deck of a huge ship, riding the wind and waves.
The rain was so heavy that the army could not move, and the search was also disturbed, and now they could only wait for the heavy rain to stop, the only consolation was that this rain was not good for their own side, and it was also not conducive to the enemy's actions, if Yang Hao had already broken through, it was not suitable for the enemy to launch an offensive now.
After standing for a long time, a tall man in a cloak quietly climbed the reef, looking at Zheziyu standing silently on the cliff, the rain washed her robe, and quickly rolled to the ground, like countless tears.
The man sighed softly and muttered in a low voice: "I really don't understand, I obviously love him very much, but I have to pretend that I don't care, and I don't know what I'm thinking." Men, three wives and four concubines are common, not to mention that he is a dignified prince all the way, and he has no wives and concubines, isn't that sick? Dugu Jialuo and Wu Cao, compared to your means, Yang Jian and Li Zhi are not hunting wild food everywhere, and they are full of resentment, how can they still get harmony and happiness between husband and wife.
Aren't you so jealous of your pet, what does this have to do with him? It's good now, his whereabouts are unknown, you don't think about pouring tea and dinner, and you are restless in sleeping, alas! This sister of mine, who is younger than my son, is really spoiled by me......"
Zhen Ziyu suddenly turned her head, and the rain flowed down her porcelain-like delicate and white cheeks, and a few strands of green silk stuck to her cheeks. ”
A gust of wind came, Zhe Yuxun shuddered for a moment, stepped forward and said, "Oh, I didn't say anything, little sister, go back and eat something." ”
Excerpt Ziyu shook his head: "I'm not hungry, is there any news?" ”
Zhi Yuxun frowned and sighed: "Not yet." ”
Zheziyu looked at the river stupidly, and suddenly said, "Big brother, I suddenly remembered that the eldest sister was here." ”
Zhe Yuxun's face darkened, and he said: "When the eldest sister got married, you were not born yet, and you haven't seen her a few times since you were a child, why did you suddenly remember her?" ”
The eldest sister of the Zhe family is one year older than Zhe Yuxun, when she first married Yang Jiye, Yang Jiye was still from Linzhou, and she had not yet supported the Han family, so she could often go back to her parents' home. I haven't been in touch for more than ten years, and now her whereabouts are unknown, and she is likely to have died in the chaos, and Zhe Yuxun is not in a good mood when he thinks about it, but he didn't expect that his little sister remembered his sister at this time.
Zheziyu looked at the leisurely river and said in a low voice: "Yang Jiye has helped protect the Han Kingdom, and over the years, he has cut off contact with Linzhou and our prefecture, and finally ended up on the battlefield with a halberd, and even the family died in the chaos, and even the bones could not be found. I often wonder, will my sister blame him? Maybe...... I care too much about gains and losses, my eldest sister loves him deeply, and I can live and die with the man I love, I guess...... When the eldest sister is necked with a knife and a gun, she must have no complaints. Although she can't live a long life, she has been a loving husband and wife for more than 20 years, and she should have no regrets in this life......"
Fold Yuxun's brows locked into a big pimple: "Little sister, don't think about this, the wind and rain are getting more and more urgent, go back and eat something, Yang Hao...... Yang Hao crossed the Meridian Valley, crossed the Langchuan River, survived the assassination of Jinling, and sent the Khitan to coincide with the rebellion of King De, which time was not a bloody storm, but he broke through, this kid's life is very big, and he may not have suffered a danger. ”
At this moment, Zhang 13 hurriedly ran over and shouted from afar: "Miss! Ran to the nearest place to see the folded Yuxun, and hurriedly shouted again: "Dashuai." ”
Zhi Yuxun glanced at him and said, "Panicked, what's the matter?" ”
Zhang 13 said: "Well...... there is news coming from the wind." ”
Zhi Yuxun hurriedly said: "What's the news?" ”
Zhang Shisan laughed dryly and said, "I haven't found anything yet." ”
Zhi Yuxun said unhappily: "There is no news, what news are you in a hurry to report." ”
Zhang Shisan said curtly: "When the eldest lady was rushing to the turbidity wheel river, she had already ordered to go down and report the news regularly, no matter if there was anything to discover......
Zhen Ziyu turned around and walked over, cut off his words, and said, "I ordered him." Thirteen, you say more carefully, which part is the news from which part, tell me the details. ”
Zhang 13 said: "It's the news from the brother of the 'dive' character department with the wind, I just issued an order yesterday, and the news didn't come so quickly." However, when the eldest lady came from the grassland, she had already issued an order, telling them to contact the remnants of the Seventh Clan of the Dang Xiang, with Huerji as the center, and cut off the entire grassland section as the news, and reported it every day. Yesterday because of our hasty march here, the messengers did not find us until dawn, and they have not found anything to do so now. However, the messenger brought a large number of carrier pigeons, and the next contact was much faster. ”
"No news? Nothing happening? ”
After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhe Ziyu's charming moth eyebrows frowned slightly: "Tens of thousands of troops trekking across the grassland, how can there be no news?" ”
Zhang 13 thought that the eldest lady was blaming the intelligence officers who did not do their best, and he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart, but Zhi Yuxun was already aware of it, and asked anxiously: "Little sister, what do you mean?" ”
"There is no news, it is also news, our estimates, I'm afraid there is a deviation, what does Li Guangrui's old fox want to do?"
The brother and sister glanced at each other, their eyes showed fear......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ heavy rain, the road of the loess city was simply slippery step by step, and the city wall ambushed by the soldiers guarding the front turned into a pile of sticky yellow mud.
Although there are no cutting tools and time is limited, large trees cannot be felled, but the trunks and branches of those small trees are spread on the ground, and the light and brittle large trees that have been demolished from the collapsed houses and eaten by mosquitoes have been dried up. Several rain shelters were erected to concentrate the arrows.
And Yang Hao was standing in front of a half-collapsed city wall at this time, looking at the enemy camp opposite with a suspicious face. After a long time, Yang Hao instructed: "Quickly find Commander Li, I have something to discuss with him." ”
Mu Yu immediately rushed over, and after a while, Commander Li walked to Yang Hao's side, and said loudly: "Captain, what are your orders?" ”
Yang Hao looked at the enemy camp silently, and said slowly: "Commander Li, the enemy army is chasing and killing all the way, and I can't wait, but there was no movement before the rain last night, do you think it's a little strange?" ”
Li commanded: "The captain is suspicious, right? Fighting at night, it is not easy to deploy troops, and we are under siege, with nowhere to escape, what are they anxious about? Hey, I think they want to wait until dawn and then wipe us out in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect God to help, there was a torrential rain, please see, within 300 steps ahead, it has become yellow mud soup, and the mud feet are trapped, and it is difficult for them to rush over. ”
Yang Hao sighed lightly and said, "Yes, they want to rush over, it's really difficult, if we want to rush out, it's also difficult." ”
Commander Li had a bitter look on his face, and sighed softly: "This point, I have also thought of it, but there is an advantage, there must be a disadvantage, the enemy army is far superior to me, and this ancient city is not able to be defended. It's always good to delay a little longer now, we don't have to escape very far, as long as General Zhe arrives, he will definitely be able to find us before we run out of food, and then we will turn the corner. ”
Yang Hao's clothes were wet, poured by the heavy rain, cold and sticky, but his heart was very irritable, like a nameless karmic fire burning, there was always a feeling of irritability, he suddenly took off his robe, stood in the wind and rain with his bare back, the rainstorm rushed, and his mind was a little clearer. He pointed to the enemy camp and said: "We are waiting for reinforcements, and they don't know, why don't we stand still and give up several opportunities that can seriously defeat our army?" When General Zhe arrives, will they still have a chance to annihilate me? I, Yang Hao, am a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, and now I am in front of them, and reinforcements are ready to arrive at any time, why do they feel so angry? ”
Yang Hao stepped on the branches in the mud under his feet and walked around, becoming more and more uneasy: "Now that it is raining heavily, our only sharp weapon to defend the city is no longer used, the soldiers are outnumbered, if the enemy strikes with all his strength, our army will die, what are they waiting for?" A left-behind army with the belief that it will die, is it still afraid of this rain? They have a large number of tents, and if these tents of cowhide and sheepskin are taken and spread on the ground, will these three hundred paces of yellow mud road not be as smooth as walking on the ground? ”
Commander Li looked at Yang Hao with wide eyes, and an inexplicable fear slowly appeared in his eyes: "Tai Wei...... What does the captain mean? ”
Yang Hao suddenly stopped, raised his head to the sky, faced the heavy rain, looked at the gradually clear complexion of the sky, and said in a deep voice: "The rain is about to stop, wait until the rain stops, see the strength of the enemy's offensive, my guess is ...... It's basically certain! ”
