Chapter 396: Years Ago

Before the New Year, Xiao Yuanshan's reinforcements transferred to Jinzhou finally did not have time to arrive, Blue Mountain regardless of the cold weather, wind and snow raging, waved the army to attack Jinzhou City, ten days later, the Jinzhou army that retreated to Jinzhou City finally could not resist, opened Xicheng, and fled in embarrassment. The fall of Jinzhou City www.biquge.info represents the official fall of Jinzhou into the hands of King Ning. The 50,000 reinforcements led by Zhang Aiming, a general under Xiao Yuanshan, could only stop in Changyang County, collect the remnants of the army fleeing from Jinzhou, and build a defensive line.

After the Blue Mountain captured Jinzhou City, it was already exhausted, and it was no longer able to launch a new offensive, the southern army stopped the crazy pace of marching and began training in Jinzhou, and at this time Hu Zequan in Qinzhou had advanced to the city of Qinzhou, and when he walked out of the camp, he could see the banner of Qinzhou City flying high.

And Yizhou, which borders Jinzhou, with the full occupation of Jinzhou by the Blue Mountains, the atmosphere is also tense, and Li Zheng, the eldest son of Yininghou, leads 10,000 elite soldiers to stand by, and the 5,000 elite cavalry commanded by Li Feng, who returned from the grassland, are also under the command of Li Zheng, and they all come to the border of Jinyi to prevent the Blue Mountains from invading Yizhou.

Blue Mountain did not intend to send troops to Yizhou, but his actual means made Yining Hou Li Sizhi more annoyed than the troops entering Yizhou, the southern army drove countless displaced people who lost their homes due to the war to the direction of Yizhou in Jinzhou, and at the border of Jinyi, tens of thousands of refugees dragged their children and daughters, camped under the pass, begged to close the gate every day, and let them enter Yizhou to seek a way to live. Seeing that the haphazardly built shack outside the pass stretched far away, and the sour smell drifted to the pass with the sound of the wind, Li Zheng and Li Feng argued about this matter for the first time.

When Li Feng was in Dingzhou, he had seen how Dingzhou dealt with a large number of displaced people, the first thing was to avoid the generation of plague, like this kind of large number of displaced people living together, the conditions are extremely bad, the most prone to epidemics, now it is winter, the cold temperature can also prevent the epidemic of diseases, but next spring, as soon as the weather warms up, it will inevitably lead to a situation where plague is rampant. Looking at the current situation, the war will continue for a long time, and the Blue Mountains are still driving the displaced people to flee to the direction of Yizhou, making more and more displaced people on the Golden Wing border.

"Brother Zheng, we should open and close the door and let these homeless people in, otherwise these homeless people will freeze to death and starve to death outside in large numbers. And once it is delayed until the beginning of spring next year, the outbreak of plague will be out of control, and then we will want to let them in, but we will not dare, and we will not be able to stop the epidemic of plague in the narrow pass, and then it will spread to the pass, but how is it good? Li Feng said loudly.

Li Zheng, the eldest son of Yi Ninghou, brave and strategic, before Li Qing was born, he was the first person in the young generation of the Li family, he just turned 30 years old this year, he is both civil and military, under the vigorous cultivation of the Li family, he has gradually had a strong domineering. Listening to Li Fengzhou's passionate words, Li Zheng smiled and said: "Second brother, you are in such a hurry, Lan Shan's intentions are sinister, can't you see it?" Although he didn't have troops into Yizhou, but driving these homeless people over, it was more tricky than him bringing the army over, and letting the outcasts enter the customs was a simple thing, as soon as the pass was opened here, it was indeed bento, but do you know what price Yizhou will pay? If you let them in, you have to settle them, not two or three thousand, but tens of thousands, looking at this form, I am afraid that there will be more and more, and if you put these people in Yizhou, if you don't handle them properly, it will cause a big mess. In that case, why should we carry this mess on our backs. Outside the gate is Jinzhou, these people died on the land of Jinzhou, with unkindness on their backs, and the person in the name of brutality is the Blue Mountain, the king of Ning, but not us. ”

"As for what you said about the possible outbreak of plague in next spring, I have sent a message to Yizhou City, asking my father to send a large number of doctors to bring anti-plague medicinal materials to rush here after the New Year, so as to prevent the plague from spreading to the city after the plague really occurs at that time."

"What about these people out there?" Li Feng asked.

"They can only be left to their own devices!" Li Zheng sighed: "I can't save them!" ”

Li Feng felt very uncomfortable, "Brother Zheng, when I was in Dingzhou, I saw that the eldest brother was very welcoming to the homeless, and the eldest brother once said that in the troubled times, what is the most precious is Dingkou, with people, you can cultivate barren land, you can provide a steady stream of soldiers, and you can pay countless taxes. And what we pay is just a small and insignificant price in the early stage. Brother Zheng, I think what the eldest brother said is very reasonable, this is a profitable business! ”

Li Zheng sank his face, for Li Qing, he admired the furnace with a taboo, this younger brother from the second room did something too amazing, so that he can only look up to the mountains now, he is under the vigorous cultivation of the Li family, and he is nearly thirty years old before he can be regarded as a little famous, but this younger brother is now a candidate, famous and famous, now, when the world mentions the Li family, they will immediately talk about Li Qing, and he, the eldest son of the Li family, has been completely forgotten. Li Qing's light was too dazzling, and they were all eclipsed.

"Second brother!" Li Zheng said coldly: "What is the situation in Dingzhou, can we compare with Yizhou, they have a large amount of land for the displaced people to cultivate, what about our side?" It is their consistent policy to attract displaced people into Dingzhou, so they have a complete system to ensure the orderly entry of these displaced people. If we open the door casually and let these people in, it will not only harm us, but also harm these displaced people, if these people arrive in Yizhou and find that they still can't survive, what will they do? They will rebel, they will rob houses, they will become robbers, and at that time, will we raise the butcher's knife against them again? ”

Li Feng was speechless, Li Zheng was reasonable, but looking at the distress and wailing of the displaced people under the gate every day, he really couldn't bear it in his heart.

"Second brother, Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, you, you are still too young, it seems that the blood of the barbarian has not hardened your heart! In troubled times, human life is like a mustard, you learn slowly! Li Zheng said.

Years ago, a series of battles on the battlefield in the Central Plains finally stopped, it seems that all parties are preparing to spend the New Year in peace, and wait until the weather warms up next year.

And in the north, Lu Fengchun finally captured Shunzhou, Shunzhou was lost, and the Zeng army who was trapped in various passes in the territory immediately lost their fighting spirit, either switched and surrendered, or abandoned the pass and fled, the whole territory of Shunzhou finally fell into the hands of the Lu family, but Lu Fengchun, who was on the front line, couldn't be happy, their blitzkrieg plan was completely bankrupt, Shunzhou alone fought for several months, with such a long time of preparation, the next target Shenzhou may be several times more difficult, looking at the land of ice and snow, Lu Fengchun was extremely heavy.

The loss of Shunzhou did not make the Zeng clan panic, being able to resist the Lu clan in Shunzhou for so long has already made them overjoyed, with months of preparation time, now they have built a stronger and stronger defense line in Shenzhou, as long as it can be dragged on, the Lu clan will inevitably be defeated, Zeng Qingfeng thought hatefully in his heart. He knew that Li Qing in the West had already assembled the most powerful troops under his command on the border of Luzhou, and perhaps next year, when these wolf-like barbarian iron cavalry broke through to the north, it would be the day of Zeng's counterattack.

Today is the day of the fall of Shunzhou and Quanzhou, but Zeng Qingfeng has no sentimentality, because just today, the advance team of the sailors under Li Qing's command arrived safely in Anshun Port. His son Zeng Yifan has gone to Anshun Port on his behalf to welcome this reinforcement army that has come from thousands of miles away.

The Izumo, a large ship of 5,000 materials, slowly sailed into the port of Anshun, and behind him, there were more than ten warships of 3,000 materials, and there were countless warships of 1,000 materials and various support ships, Zheng Zhiyuan stood on the top of the Izumo, leaning over and looking at the countless welcoming people in Anshun Port, and his heart could not help but be full of pride.

Zeng Yifan, the young master of the Zeng family, looked at the tall Izumo with envy, today Zheng Zhiyuan specially asked his soldiers to wear new armor in order to set up the score, at this time, rows of sailors lined up in a neat queue, standing on both sides of the ship's side with their hands behind their backs, on the deck several layers high, rows of sailors in uniform stood proudly, which was very good-looking.

"It's worthy of annihilating the strong army of the Bozhou Navy Division in one battle!" Zeng Yifan sighed, he was over forty years old, his body was slightly obese, his eyes were overly drunk and slightly puffy, but there was no lack of shrewdness and ability, seeing the Izumo slowly sailing into the port, he waved his hand violently, and suddenly in the port, dozens of big drums sounded in unison, and all kinds of gongs and drums went into battle together, which was very lively.

Zeng Yifan, on the other hand, took a big stride, walked out of the temporary shed to shelter from the wind and snow, and walked towards the pier.

Zheng Zhiyuan led his soldiers to stride down the Izumo and met Zeng Yifan.

"Zhenxi is under the command of Li Dashuai, Zheng Zhiyuan, the first team of the Fuzhou Navy Division, I have seen Lord Zeng!" Zheng Zhiyuan snapped and gave a military salute.

Zeng Yifan laughed and stepped forward to hold Zheng Zhiyuan's hands, Zheng Zhiyuan was tall, and he could only look up at him, looking Zheng Zhiyuan up and down for a long time, before he sighed: "Sure enough, the heroic force is extraordinary, no wonder under one blow, the old dog of Zhong Xiang was wiped out, admire, admire!" ”

Zheng Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing in his heart, annihilating Zhong Xiang, he didn't know how much effort he had spent, and he had a fart relationship with his heroic and extraordinary, not to mention, was he heroic and extraordinary? Touching the face, the dark skin is rough and stabbing the hand.

"It's just a fluke!" Zheng Zhiyuan said.

"The soldiers are in danger, how can I be lucky, General Zheng is too modest, come on, I have prepared a little wine in the shed to wash the dust for General Zheng, please. Please! Zeng Yifan said.

"Lord Zeng, the soldiers under the command of the last general have not eaten yet, and the last general does not dare to eat first, Li Dashuai has set the rules and regulations back then, and those who have not eaten are never allowed to eat first." Zheng Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Zeng Yifan was stunned, Dingzhou still had this rule, and nodded, "General Zheng, don't worry, I have already arranged it, at this time, the hot meal, wine and meat are being sent to the brothers on the warship, and General Zheng can only drink it with confidence." ”
