Hunyuan City is located in the southeast of Datong Mansion, the terrain here is gentle, conducive to cavalry mobility, so it has also become a piece of fat in the eyes of Hou Jin, these days after the Jin army surrounded Hunyuan City, the people in the city are all panicked, Hunyuan Prefecture Governor Jiang Xin ordered the defenders to close the four gates of the defenders on the wall day and night patrol, on the other hand, they urgently sent people to Datong Mansion and the imperial court for help.

But what puzzled Jiang Xin was that although the Houjin army was forced out of the city, it put on a posture of besieging but not attacking, which also made Jiang Xin feel puzzled while being afraid.

In fact, Jiang Xin didn't know that Yue Tuo originally planned to plunder the county capitals around Hunyuan City, and finally planned to gnaw on the fat of Hunyuan City, but Yue Tuo didn't expect to kill a Cheng bite gold halfway, and beat him all over his body with a three-plate axe, and finally had to reluctantly withdraw the army.

Because Yue Tuo ran away too quickly, when Yue Yang sent people into the city to ask for Jiang Xin, Jiang Xin had not yet received the news that Yue Tuo had withdrawn his troops.

At dawn on the second day, Jiang Xin, who was sitting in the inner hall early in the morning and was in a hurry, received a message from the officials, "My lord, a large army has come from outside the city, they are under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and the people who came claim to be the garrison of the Yingzhou Mansion, the guerrilla on the North Road, and the command of Yueyang, the general of Mingwei, want the adults to meet in the city!" ”

"What, the state capital is guarded, General Mingwei Yue Yang? Could it be that reinforcements from the imperial court are coming? Jiang Xin was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it, isn't this Yueyang the garrison of the Yingzhou Mansion with a thousand-pound per mu that was rumored some time ago, why did he come?

Although I feel strange in my heart. But it's not a bad thing to have reinforcements coming, Jiang Xin immediately said: "Someone." Prepare a sedan car immediately. This official wants to go up to the city to have a look! ”

Soon, Jiang Xin had just arrived at the gate of the city in a sedan chair, and the Hunyuan City garrison, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Jiang Xin didn't have time to be polite and asked directly: "6 Garrison, where is the army outside the city?" Take me to see it. ”

The garrison of Hunyuan City immediately took Jiang Xin up to the head of the city, and when Jiang Xin went up to the head of the city, he was taken aback by the scene in front of him, only to see a team of neatly arranged sergeants standing outside the city gate, and the sun and moon flags fluttering in the wind under the morning sun. For one side, a red flag embroidered with a big 'Yue' character is hunting in the wind.

Jiang Xin soon realized that the armor worn by those sergeants outside the city was very different from the armor he usually saw worn by the Ming sergeants. Although in the late Ming Dynasty, the armor of the Ming army had begun to diversify, for example, the Ming army in the south wore cotton armor, and the Ming army in the north wore iron armor and leather armor, but one thing is the same, that is, all the armor of the Ming army is placket. And there is absolutely no such armor that covers the whole body.

And what surprised Jiang Xin even more was that the army under the city was actually covered with iron armor, which was not simple. Although he is not a professional, he also knows that in Daming, if he wants to build such a well-made iron armor covering the whole body, he will definitely not be able to take it without one or two hundred taels of silver. And the thousands of Ming troops under the city actually all wore this kind of armor, and the armor worn by these Ming troops alone was worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

But what surprised Jiang Xin even more was that. Behind this army stood an endless crowd of civilians, densely packed with no end in sight, and a rough estimate of at least tens of thousands of people.

The more he looked at it, the more frightened Jiang Xin became, and quickly poked his head out of the battlement and shouted loudly: "This official is Jiang Xin, the prefect of Hunyuan Prefecture, who is the Lord Yue Garrison under the city?" ”

As Jiang Xin's words fell, a sergeant in black and gray armor slowly rode out of the Ming army below. Although the armor worn by this person was exactly the same as that of the soldiers around him, Jiang Xin could see at a glance that this person had a faint official smell and iron-blooded aura that others did not have.

The person who came raised his head and bowed his hand to Jiang Xin: "Lord Jiang." In the lower is the state capital garrison, Shanxi guerrilla general Yue Yang, this time on the order of Lu Duchen to lead the army to fight with the Tartars, yesterday the official has led the soldiers and the red flag of the Tartars to fight, cut a lot, last night the Tartars have retreated, but left tens of thousands of captive people, but helpless Yue did not have much food and grass in the army, can not feed so many people, in desperation had to ask Jiang Daren to raise one or two. ”

"What, the Tartars have retreated?"

Jiang Xin was stunned when he heard this, seeing that the Yueyang army under the city was only a few thousand people, and he could drive away the murderous Tartar army? When did the Tartars become so vulnerable? He asked the Hunyuan Prefecture garrison on the side and said, "Six adults, have the Tartars outside the city withdrawn?" ”

The guard surnamed 6 wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said weakly: "Lord Prefect, this ...... Xiaguan ...... The lower officials don't know much! ”

Seeing the surprised look on the guard surnamed 6, Jiang Xin was angry, and there was already a trace of coldness in his eyes when he looked at him: "Lord 6, you are really competent as a garrison, I don't even know whether the Tartars will withdraw their troops, I really don't know what the use of the imperial court to raise you people!" ”

Listening to Jiang Xin's words, the cold sweat of the 6 guards broke out more.

Seeing that there was no response on the city wall, Yue Yang asked again: "Lord Jiang, did you hear what this official said?" The grain and grass carried by our army is not much, and it is not enough to support the needs of these people, and I wonder if Lord Jiang can allocate some grain and grass to the official, but the official is grateful. ”

"Well...... this" Jiang Xin hesitated for a moment before he said loudly to the city: "Lord Yue, you don't know, there is not much grain and grass left in Hunyuan City, I am afraid that it will not be able to support the needs of tens of thousands of people." Why don't you go back to the nearest state capital and ask? ”

Hearing Jiang Xin's resignation, a trace of displeasure flashed in Yue Yang's eyes under the city, "Lord Jiang, this official led the army to risk death to relieve the siege of Hunyuan City, but you are not even willing to allocate some grain and grass, this is not the way of hospitality." In this case, the official also said the ugly things in front, if you are not willing to allocate even a little grain and grass, then the official has to lead the troops to retreat. The Tartars have just retreated, and you can't be sure when they'll come back, so you'll have to do it yourself! ”

If Jiang Xin was prevaricating in every way just now, then Yue Yang's words were a naked threat. Jiang Xin's face couldn't help but flash a trace of blue after hearing this, and he said angrily in a low voice: "This vulgar martial artist dares to threaten this official, and I will see that this official will not join him in the future." ”

After listening to Jiang Xin's words, the faces of the 6 guards on the side were not very good-looking, because Jiang Xin's words just now scolded him too.

6 A hint of disapproval flashed in the guard's eyes, and he was also very disdainful of Jiang Xin's stinginess, and they had finally relieved the siege of Hunyuan City, so you have to express it, you don't even want to give people a little food, which is too much to say. Thinking of this, he said in a low voice: "My lord, what Lord Yue outside said also has some truth, now the Tartars are only temporarily retreating, and no one knows when they will come back, why do you want to hand over Lord Yue for a little food and grass?" ”

"This ...... All right! ”

Jiang Xin thought about it and felt that the words of the 6 garrisons also made some sense, if he offended others too hard now, if he killed the Tartars again, he might really have to ask for others, and it would not be good for him to really pull out a dime. Thinking of this, he nodded reluctantly, and said to the city: "Lord Yue, since this is the case, the official is willing to offer five hundred stones of grain and grass, and if there is more, the official will not be there." ”

"It's too picky."

Hearing this, even the 6 garrisons on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, five hundred stone grain and grass was just enough for thousands of troops under the city to eat for a few days, but there were still tens of thousands of people outside, shouldn't they eat? This is too picky, isn't it?

Wu Chengfeng, who was standing behind Yue Yang, couldn't listen anymore, and said viciously: "Lord Yue, let's work hard to relieve them, but this Hunyuan prefect is so unreasonable, according to his humble duties, let's just knock the city gate open and drive those tens of thousands of people into Hunyuan City, I want to see what that dog official does?" ”

"That's it......" Yue Yang sighed and said: "If we drive these people away like Hunyuan City, tens of thousands of people who have no food and clothing will easily cause a riot, and at that time it will be the people on this side who will suffer, so what is the difference between us and Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng!" Forget it, there is not much food and grass in the army at present, let's withdraw the army as soon as we receive the grain and grass, we will not mix in the troubled waters this time. ”

After this battle, Yue Yang's dislike for Jiang Xin deepened, and after receiving the 500 stone of grain and grass, he soon led the army and tens of thousands of people to embark on the journey home.

Hunyuan Prefecture is not far from the capital of Yingzhou, but it is not close, with tens of thousands of people's army walked for seven or eight days to Wuli Village, during this period due to the lack of food in the army, Yueyang also did his best when passing through some county seats, which reluctantly returned to Wuli Village with the army.

After this battle, Yue Yang also once again realized the importance of grain and grass when the army fought outside, no wonder countless military strategists throughout the ages have praised grain and grass as the first element of stabilizing the army in the war book, if the leader has no food in the army, no matter how strong your army is, it will become a soft-footed shrimp, and even collapse without a fight.

Yue Yang led the army back to Yingzhou Mansion, which also relieved the people of Yingzhou Mansion and Wulizhai who were worried these days. In these days when Yue Yang was away, the whole Yingzhou Mansion hung their hearts in their throats, for fear that one day the Tartars would suddenly come to the city, but God forbid, Lord Yue finally came back, and they finally put the hanging heart back in their stomachs.

It's not just the people of Yingzhou who put their hearts down, but also Yueyang. During the time he was away, what he was most worried about was that there would be a Houjin army that suddenly came out of nowhere and suddenly appeared around Wulizhai, which would be fatal to Wulizhai without the slightest defense.

"The next step should be to build a castle in Wulizhai, otherwise even if Wulizhai is built well, there will be no sense of security!" Yue Yang secretly made up his mind in his heart......
