Chapter 182: What Does Zeng Li Think?

Are there any cavalry units in Yarkand City? Yes.

It was Yunusjiang's personal guard.

It's a pity that the number is not large, only two or three hundred, even if you add some infantry cavalry who took the initiative to find them after the team was scattered, the total number is only five hundred.

These people were either Yunusjiang's henchmen or hardcore Aguba's supporters, and after receiving Yunusjiang's order, they did not hesitate to rush to Dongcheng, which had already been captured by the expeditionary army, as quickly as possible.

These cavalrymen, who rode on war horses and shuttled through the flying cannonballs, had to jump off their horses in the face of the ruins and ruins that were within reach of Dongcheng. Yunusjiang only saw the convenience of the cavalry attack, but forgot that the city full of obstacles was not conducive to the cavalry's charge at all.

More than 300 cavalrymen who arrived first, these Uzbek cavalry, who were good at riding war horses and wielding scimitars, and cutting off the enemy's heads, had no choice but to turn into infantry that only moved on their legs. But more than 300 people still wielded their scimitars in their hands, and bravely resisted the swarming expeditionary army among the ruins and ruins that were so messy that it was difficult to settle down.

The fighting and gunfire in the city continued, but the shouts of killing from the east were getting closer and closer, and soon the figure of the expeditionary army could be seen from the upper floor of the True God Temple. The local True God Cult of Yarkand was dumbfounded, and all they could do was desperately chant the true name of the True God in their hearts and pray for a miracle.

The last rebel soldier who dared to resist fell. The scimitar in his hand was opened by his opponent with a bayonet, and another bayonet took the opportunity to stab him in the ribs, and it was ruthlessly, without mercy, and it was completely submerged. As his strength drained from him, another bayonet plunged deep into his chest.

A stream of blood bubbled up his throat. As if drunk, the whole person staggered a few steps, and then fell headlong on the ruins of the city, which was full of broken bricks and stones.

……

Chenggu County, Liu Fu.

Looking at a small card in her hand, Liu Wanshu finally couldn't bear to lose seven in a row. The eighth hand took a small hand of cards in a sullen manner, and pushed away the dozen or so Western pokers in his hand that were very different from Chinese horse hangings, and straightened up.

Wang Luying, who was sitting opposite Liu Wanshu, smiled lazily and threw the cards in her hand. She and Liu Wanshu are in the same group, and they also lost seven handfuls. It's just that Wang Luying is not competitive, and if she loses, she loses. Anyway, with the monthly money in your hand, there is nowhere to spend it.

Liu Xian is not at home, and the four women in Liu's mansion really don't even go out to the gate a few times a year. Worship God and pray for Buddha to keep Liu Xian safe, and also set up a small temple in the backyard of his home.

"Alas......" Zhang Miaotong also lost the poker. No matter how fun the game is. I've been playing for two years and I'm tired of it. Leisure polishing time is not such a polishing method.

She didn't care about Liu Wanshu's rudeness in front of her. This woman, as soon as there is no man in the middle, the heart of competing for favor and beauty is gone, and she gets along day and night, and the feelings come quickly.

If Liu Xian has been with them from beginning to end in the past two years, you can see if Liu Wanshu dares to be so casual.

For Zhang Miaotong, for Wang Luying. For Wang Biyun and Liu Wanshu, their lives are not only missing and concerned about Liu Xian. If it weren't for the three sisters who were with him, it would really be like a 'hollow valley orchid', lonely and dead.

"Scattered, scattered. After a long morning, I'm going to rest. Wang Biyun stood up. Stretched a long stretch. The rich waist and hip curves set off the clothes in a perfect arc.

Wang Biyun, who was as slender and slender as Liu Wanshu two years ago, didn't know if she had really grown up. Or because Liu Xian is not at home, she has no intention of keeping her figure at all. It has become a lot more charming. Especially in the past year, I have changed my past clothes one after another.

"Smack-" Zhang Miaotong slapped Wang Biyun on the crotch, "Say how many times have you been, it's a big grin." Women want to be more gentle......"

Wang Biyun pursed her mouth and said in a down-to-earth manner: "Who is Wenxiu for?" I don't know when I'll be back. ”

Last year's correspondence was still before the Battle of the Abu River, and the battle situation in southern Xinjiang was not clear at all, but Liu Xian expressed great confidence in the letter, which could be regarded as calming the hearts of the four daughters. Let them be less frightened.

After the game was dispersed, Zhang Miaotong also rested for a while, tossing and turning, just hazy and a little sleepy, vaguely heard the sound of firecrackers, Zhang Miaotong woke up. After a while, I did understand that the sound of firecrackers was coming from outside, and it was getting louder and louder, and finally it sounded in one piece.

This is strange, today is not the New Year's Day, what firecrackers are you setting off?

Get up and call the maid, "You go out and take a look, what's going on outside?" How is it so close to our house? ”

Zhang Miaotong's face is very unsightly, she is not good in her heart, she thinks about the excitement of people outside, and then looks at her own situation, especially this lively and lively also affects her sleep, and her face is gloomy and dripping.

But before the maid could reach the outer courtyard, she saw the porter of the gate trotting all the way to the inner courtyard, panting and shouting as she ran: "Madame is overjoyed! ”

Exultation?

The maid was in a trance, and the porter said breathlessly, "Congratulations to Madame!" Someone came from the master's side, saying that it was a great victory in Xinjiang! ”

"The master is in a place called Yarkand, and in the first battle, he broke the main force of the Agubai rebellion, captured thousands of Kokand soldiers, and now he has taken the entire Yarkand, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Kashgar, the nest of the rebel army."

The news spread to the maid's mouth through the gatehouse, and then into Zhang Miaotong's ears. Rao is Zhang Miaotong has always asked him to be calm when facing major events, and he pays attention to his housewife's demeanor, and he can't help but sit up from the bed with his eyes shining.

"The folks outside knew about it, and they were all very happy, and they fired guns all the way from the county seat to the front of our mansion......"

"What about people from Xinjiang? Spread it in. Eagerly stirring the handkerchief in her hand, Zhang Miaotong felt that her heart was about to jump out of her heart.

"The slave and maid will rush it."

But it was the person who delivered the news who was stumped by the people in the county seat, but the news spread from the county seat to the Liu Mansion in Shuangxi Tiejiashan first.

The sound of firecrackers outside was even livelier than Chinese New Year's Eve. Tiejiashan is Liu Xian's old nest. No one here is proud of him.

About an hour later, Wang Luying, Liu Wanshu, and Wang Biyun all arrived at Zhang Miaotong early, and heard the maid's hurried footsteps, "Madam, it's Fan Debiao, he's here!" ”

Old acquaintances.

Picking up the curtain and coming in, Fan Debiao's face was full of wind and frost, and his face was full of brilliance, holding a letter box in his hand.

Zhang Miaotong's hands trembled a little, but he didn't open it immediately, but looked at Fan Debiao aggressively, "How is the master?" Did you fall into any diseases? ”

"Nope. Adults are in good health. The winter in southern Xinjiang is much warmer than in Qinghai, not much colder than in Hanzhong. ”

The four girls breathed a sigh of relief in unison. In the past two years, they have been worried about Liu Xian's military victory or defeat, and whether Liu Xianam's health is healthy. Especially this year, in their eyes, the place in Xinjiang is a barren place, like a sword, and they are really worried about Liu Xian's body.

“………… The lord first defeated Aguba's sneak attack, and then retreated step by step, luring Aguba's army to the trap, and struck out in one fell swoop to cut off the logistics line of the chaotic army. Aguba fought hard under the city of Guman for four days and had to retreat. Along the way, the lord led the cavalry to attack all the time, tired and chaotic army, and finally succeeded in a battle on the bank of the Abu River. Aguba fled in a hurry with only a thousand cavalry......"

"In this battle, our army captured more than 4,000 people with only prisoners, of which Kokand soldiers accounted for more than eighty percent. More than 5,700 Western fast guns were seized. Aguba's new army was completely annihilated, and the main force of the Yunus River was also lost. Together with the surrender of Akmu, Aguba's main force was almost completely annihilated. ”

Subsequently, the adults recruited the local natives of Xinjiang as soldiers, and Liankeqipan and Hashrap, and Aksai Chin surrendered. In February, the main force was concentrated to conquer Shache, and the city was pulled out in two days. The enemy chieftain Yunusjiang was given the head, and now the troops are inserted into Kashgar, if nothing else, it will be no problem to wipe out the entire southern Xinjiang this year. It's not hopeless to take the northern frontier......"

Fan Debiao said happily, and Zhang Miaotong's four daughters listened to it with mixed joy and sorrow. Especially at the end, Fan Debiao said that it is not hopeless to level southern Xinjiang this year, and even take northern Xinjiang, and the house has become a lake of tears.

"So, next year, the master will be able to go home?"

Zhang Miaotong was afraid that what she heard was an illusion, so she asked Fan Debiao repeatedly. After receiving an affirmative answer, the lake of tears expands in a straight line towards the sea of tears.

That night, the entire Tiejia Mountain was lit up. In Chenggu County, everyone has a share in the county order and the rich people in the countryside, and they are vying to deliver congratulatory gifts to Liu's mansion. The next day, this range expanded to the whole of Hanzhong, and then the whole of southern Shaanxi and the whole of Shaanxi, and there was continuous joy for half a month.

Zhang Shoudai, who had been promoted to governor of Henan, was a few days later than Hanzhong received the news of the good news. Hiding alone in the study, drinking a little wine, patting his knees, he smiled and said: "I don't know how the three families of Xianghuai and Chu feel after hearing such good news?" ”

He really wanted to see if the faces of Zeng Li and the others at the moment had turned into a palette like breaking the dye shop!

I thought I had a clever plan back then, but I didn't expect it to achieve my niece's son-in-law's great reputation, right?

Liu Xian did not just put down the rebellion in Xinjiang, but Aguba, a native of Kokand, had elevated the overall nature of the incident to a foreign invasion. Liu Xian not only pacified the rebellion, but also defended the border and the country!

It is especially worth pointing out that Liu Xian entered Xinjiang alone, with less than 6,000 soldiers and no more than 500,000 salaries.

And what about the Xianghuai Army, which was responsible for exterminating the Twist Army in the hinterland of the Central Plains? With the full support of the imperial court, he asked for money and food, but he never got the head of the thief, causing the Twist Army to rush southwest into Yunnan-Guichuan and connect with Shizhi......

"Hahaha, hahaha......" Zhang Shoudai's laughter in the study was so hearty. (To be continued) R655
