Chapter 28: It Was the Kingdom
Passing through Zhu Yuan Mountain, Jicheng is in sight.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Li Zheng could vaguely see the outline of the city by the trees.
After finding a place near the water source and pressing the camp, so that the soldiers could rest well, Li Zheng called the white wolf and ordered: "Jicheng is in front of us, but we don't know the specific situation of this city now." Today, I glanced at the hill from a distance, and it seemed that there were no soldiers and horses besieging it. Now you take a few people and disguise yourself into Jicheng to find out the news. ”
The white wolf answered the promise
Jicheng, Hanyang Taishou Mansion.
Fu Xie is handling government affairs in the study.
Although the rebels are about to be overwhelmed and the situation is becoming more and more severe, Fu Xie will never give up eating because of choking. What should be done will never be left behind for one reason or another.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Fu Xie put down the brush and raised his head, revealing a dry and haggard face.
The door opened, and a young man in his twenties entered. But it is Fu Xie's son Fu Gan.
Fu Gan held a bowl of ginseng soup and said with a worried face: "Father, you haven't rested for a long time. Looking at the bloodshot in his father's eyes, Fu Gan only hated that he couldn't share his father's worries.
"Hehe," Fu Xie took the ginseng soup, smiled, and said, "It's okay, you don't have to worry." ”
Fu Gan watched Fu Xie drink the ginseng soup, and after a red light appeared on his face, he breathed a sigh of relief, but the melancholy on Fu Gan's face did not lessen.
Just now, the county lieutenant came to the Taishou Mansion, because he really didn't want to disturb the Taishou Mansion who was too tired, and informed Fu Gan of the urgent news ahead, hoping that he would forward it to Fu Xie. But when Fu Gan saw his father's current appearance, he really didn't want him to hear bad news again, and he hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to say it or not.
But who is Fu Xie? Seeing Fu Gan's hesitant appearance, his mind turned, put down the soup bowl, and said, "Anyway, what's the urgent report?" ”
Fu Gan opened his mouth, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Father, the county governor has just sent news that the four counties of Xixian, Wangyuan, Xianqin, and Fengdao have all been lost. ”
Hearing this, the corners of Fu Xie's mouth twitched, and he was silent for a long time before sighing: "It's just expected."
Not to be expected.
At the beginning, Shi Geng contemptible the soldiers of the six counties, making the counties empty, and then the defeat was too sudden, although Fu Xie hurriedly ordered the county magistrates, county orders, and county lieutenants to immediately recruit troops to defend themselves, but in a short period of time, what effect can it have?
Thinking of this, Fu Xie couldn't help but secretly hate Geng.
He had already advised Geng Contempt, but Geng Contempt did not listen, so that the army was defeated, so what could he do?
"Father" Fu Gan opened his mouth, gritted his teeth and said: "There are only more than 1,000 soldiers left in Jicheng, and it is already difficult to preserve, so it is better to "
"Withdraw?!"
Fu Xie glared at him fiercely, and said with a brushing of his sleeves: "Don't mention this!" ”
After a long while, Fu Xie said again: "Tomorrow, you will take your mother to Meiyang, and your father will not go anywhere." ”
The white wolf took five people, pretended to be merchants, swaggered into Jicheng, and lived in a wine shop. The liquor shop was deserted, with no other guests, frustrating the White Wolf's plans to find out the news in the liquor shop.
I couldn't bear anything, I could only open the way with money, and finally got a lot of useful news from the mouth of the shopkeeper of the wine shop, so I didn't delay anymore, and immediately left Jicheng alone and returned to the camp.
"So the rebels haven't completely taken all the cities in Hanyang County?"
After listening to the white wolf's narration, Li Zheng thought for a while and asked.
"But so, Lord." The white wolf said: "But it seems that it's almost the same." ”
Li Zheng bowed slightly, and said: "Thinking about it, Liangzhou is vast after all, and in two months, I'm afraid the rebels are busy packing up the soft persimmons and leaving the nail of Hanyang to the end." ”
At this time, Li Zheng had the bottom in his heart, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
What the situation is in other places, Li Zheng doesn't care, as long as Fu Xie is still there, it's a good thing.
"Lord, the five brothers you brought with you have remained in the city." The white wolf continued: "The subordinates asked them to find out the situation in the city and inquire about the news of the Taishou Mansion. ”
When Li Zheng heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, he looked the white wolf up and down, and said with a smile: "You can think of this, it's not bad!" ”
These people under him, whether it is Zhang Shan or Zhao Wu, or the white wolf and a few others, are actually not talents, and they also have such and such shortcomings, but they didn't expect that now the white wolf actually gave him a surprise.
Li Zheng hadn't taken this into account before, but the white wolf had already done it.
The white wolf was a little embarrassed by Li Zheng's look, and said: "The subordinates are thinking that if the Lord wants to save Fu Xie, at least there must be a safe way out." Besides, that Fu Xie may also have a bull temper, otherwise under the pressure of the rebels, ordinary people would have run away long ago, just like the Lingzhou County Order. Therefore, we have to find out some of Fu Xie's usual habits and the time when I go in and out, so that if things are unfavorable, I can forcibly take Fu Xie away."
"Well said!"
Li Zheng sincerely praised.
This white wolf usually looks ordinary, and he is not as stable as Nuro, but he didn't expect his brain to be quite flexible. It seems that there is still some cultivation value.
After a turn of thoughts, Li Zheng said: "Don't mention whether what you do this time will be successful, but your idea is good." I hope you will use your brain more in everything you do in the future. ”
"Whoa!"
He can still understand the meaning of Li Zheng's words, and knowing that the lord's opinion of him has changed, his heart immediately became excited: "His subordinates will not let the lord down!" ”
"I hope so." Li Zheng bowed slightly, and said, "You go down first, let the soldiers have a good rest." Tomorrow I will personally go into the city to visit this prince! ”
In the early morning of mid-June, the sky is cloudless and the air is fresh.
Li Zheng washed up by the stream, listened to the birds in the mountains, breathed in the delicious air in the mountains and forests, and only felt refreshed.
Today, he is going to go to the city to visit Fu Xie, the prince of Hanyang Mansion, to see if he can move this person with a three-inch tongue and evacuate Jicheng before the rebels come to the city.
However, thinking of some records about Fu Xie's life in his memory, as well as some rumors about Fu Xie that he heard after coming to this era, Li Zheng actually did not have hope for this trip.
If he wants to withdraw, Fu Xie has a chance, just like the unknown county magistrate in Lingzhou, he ran away early, where is the need for others to persuade him?
Now in this situation, Fu Xie is clearly unwilling to withdraw.
A person like him has made up his mind in his heart, and it is almost impossible to change it.
Shaking his head slightly, Li Zheng sighed in his heart.
People are different from each other, and people like Fu Xie will go down in history. And what about the county magistrate in Lingzhou? What the hell?!
But it's not bad to see Fu Xie in advance, he has a familiar face, and when the time is right, saving him won't cause unnecessary misunderstandings, right?
Just thinking about it, suddenly, Li Zheng paused, and his eyes froze.
On the ground, there was a slight tremor!
The keen senses clearly felt that this vibration was getting stronger and stronger.
Li Zheng frowned, could it be an earthquake?
Wrong!
At this moment, the white wolf also leaned down, put his ears on the ground, stood up after a while, and hurriedly said to Li Zheng: "Lord, there is a large group of cavalry approaching in this direction!" ”
Brigade cavalry!
Li Zheng's heart suddenly brightened!
"No, it's a rebel!"
In an instant, Li Zheng understood. Now in Liangzhou, in addition to the rebels, who has a brigade of cavalry?!
"Let's go, go to the top of the mountain!"
Li Zheng took the lead and quickly climbed towards the top of the mountain.
Standing on the top of the mountain, feeling the increasingly strong vibration coming from his feet, and looking at the black line on the edge of his eyes that was getting thicker and thicker, and was undulating, Li Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Originally, I wanted to go into the city today to meet Fu Xie, but now it seems that it is impossible.
When the rebels arrived, looking at the scale, it was tens of thousands.
Tens of thousands of horses can completely surround Jicheng, and it is difficult to save Fu Xie!
Li Zheng pursed his lips, and his eyes gradually sharpened.
No matter what, Fu Xie must be saved. Even if there are thousands of troops, how can they not break through?!
In his heart, Li Zheng waved his hand, took the white wolf down the top of the mountain, and returned to the camp.
"Suit your armor and get ready to go!"
When he arrived at the camp, Li Zheng let out a loud shout, turned around and entered the cave where he lived, put on his armor, hung his sword, and walked out with a blood dragon spear.
Sixty-two horsemen each led their horses, lined up neatly, and when they saw Li Zheng coming out, they looked at him in unison.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time we have traveled hundreds of miles and come here for only one purpose, and that is to rescue Fu Xie, the Taishou of Hanyang." Li Zheng raised his eyebrows, his face full of fierceness: "Just now, tens of thousands of troops galloped towards Jicheng, to rescue one of the ten thousand troops - let me ask you, are you afraid?!" ”
"Don't be afraid!"
"Haha, good!"
Li Zheng shouted: "The people of our Shenzhou grassland, fighting the heavens and the earth, what are you afraid of?!" The traitor is nothing but a rabble, and I regard him as a chicken and a dog, and he will collapse at the touch of a button! Now, follow me down the mountain, listen to my orders, and act when the opportunity arises! ”
"Whoa!"
After this period of mountain marching, the cavalry under Li Zheng's command has gradually adapted, although it is not said to be like a fish in water, but it is much easier to travel through the mountains.
Soon, a group of dozens of horsemen went down to Zhuyuan Mountain, and Li Zheng led the men and horses to hide in the woods.
Standing under a big tree, Li Zheng pointed to a hill in the distance and said to the white wolf: "Let's go up to that hill later, pay attention to hide our figures, so that no one can find out." ”
The hill is the closest to Jicheng and the only place where you can hide your tracks. After the hill, it is a flat river.
The group quietly arrived at the back of the hill and asked his soldiers to press it temporarily, while Li Zheng and the white wolf quietly touched the top of the hill and crawled down.
The geographical location of this hill is very advantageous, at least for Li Zheng now. On the top of the hill, the field of vision is extremely wide, and the west and south walls of Jicheng are all in sight.
When Li Zheng led people to touch the hill and hid it, the rebels had already approached the city.
On the hillock, at a glance, I saw that there were dense and towering people's heads and horses. The spears are like forests, the swords are like frost, and in the sun, they shimmer with a cold light.
The most eye-catching thing is a big banner in the array of ten thousand armies.
Li Zheng stared at it, but it was a big 'king' word!
Kingdom!
Li Zheng reacted instantly.
It seems that the commander of these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses is the Longxi Kingdom who claims to be the general of the United Nations and was pushed by Han Sui and others as the leader!
