Chapter 63: The Fall of the North
After everyone left the house, Ji Ruhuan followed Wu Yuexuan into the house.
General Ji sat on the chair with a pale face, and Li Zhi was removing the gauze on his leg and checking the wound on his leg.
Seeing the two people coming in, he said, "You came just in time, and now that the Daliang army has also retreated, Yue Xuan, I will send a team of men and horses to protect you, and you take Huan'er back to Beijing first." ”
Ji Ruhuan hurriedly answered, "Daddy, if I don't go back, I'll be here with you." ”
General Ji glared at her and scolded, "Be obedient, let you go back, you won't be able to fight, why are you staying here?" ”
Ji Ruhuan's eyes reddened, "I won't make a mess, I'll accompany my father here." ”
Seeing the appearance of his baby daughter, who was becoming more and more sensible, General Ji couldn't bear to continue to scold Ji Ruhuan, and softened his tone and persuaded helplessly, "Huan'er, you are obedient, go back with Yue Xuan, you are here, and your father is distracted." ”
I don't want Wu Yuexuan to also open his mouth and say, "General Ji, don't worry, Ruhuan and I won't cause trouble for you here." ”
General Ji insisted, "This matter is not negotiable, you can clean up and leave early tomorrow morning." ”
was kicked out by his father, Ji Ruhuan frowned and looked at Wu Yuexuan on the side, "What can you do to stay?"
Wu Yuexuan shook his head, "Your father is determined to let us leave Hengyang, if you really don't want to go back, I'll take you out of the city secretly?"
Ji Ruhuan replied in annoyance, "What am I doing secretly out of the city? I just want to accompany my father in Hengyang." ”
Wu Yuexuan spread his hands helplessly, "If you want to stay in Hengyang, then I can't help it." ”
Ji Ruhuan didn't sleep well all night, thinking that he would return to Beijing tomorrow, but his father was still in Hengyang, and he didn't know if there would be danger in the future.
After staying up all night in a daze, I heard the noise outside before dawn.
Ji Ruhuan got up three or two times and got dressed and went out, and as soon as she went out, she ran into Wu Yuexuan, hurried over, pulled her and said anxiously as she walked, "Quick, let's leave immediately." ”
Ji Ruhuan said in surprise, "What's the matter?"
Wu Yuexuan replied as he walked, "Da Liang left a back hand, taking advantage of the fact that the Zhenbei army had gone out, and the garrison of Hengyang was empty, and the siege began early in the morning, and Hengyang only left less than 5,000 people, I am afraid that the city will be broken soon." ”
Ji Ruhuan wanted to break free of Wu Yuexuan's hand, but she couldn't, and said anxiously, "I'm going to find my father." ”
Wu Yuexuan pulled Ji Ruhuan and continued to walk out, and frowned in response, "Don't worry, the general has already left, and specially asked me to come over to call you." ”
When he got out of the gate, Ji Ruhuan breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, he saw that his father was already sitting at the door, and was ordering things, "All the people in the city have been evacuated?"
"It's been a few ways out of town. ”
General Ji responded, "That's good, go and inform the guards at the gate, symbolically guard it, and then retreat, and don't leave a single one." ”
"Yes. ”
Seeing Wu Yuexuan pulling Ji Ruhuan out, General Ji sighed and said, "I didn't expect Da Liang to move so fast, I should have let you leave yesterday, hurry up and get on the horse, we have to leave quickly." ”
Ji Ruhuan was helped on the horse by Wu Yuexuan, and asked, "Don't you want Hengyang?"
General Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he answered, "If you can't hold it, let them take it first, even if it is an empty city, you will always have to return it." ”
Li Zhi on the side opened his mouth and said, "Miss, don't worry, as long as you dare to enter the city, this Da Liang will ......."
"Okay," Li Zhi was interrupted by General Ji before he could finish speaking, "Hurry up and go." ”
At this time, Hengyang has almost become an empty city, only a shout came from the east gate in the distance, it should be that Da Liang has begun to attack the city.
General Ji and his party came out of the city from the south gate, and they didn't dare to stop for a moment, intending to go straight to Youyang, which was closest to Hengyang.
Obviously, Da Liang's target is also the Zhenbei General of Da Ming, after all, their Da Liang's eldest prince died under the guns of General Zhenbei Ji in the first place.
So there were not too many of them, in order to narrow down the goal, they didn't dare to delay all the way, and they tried their best to copy the path that no one took, and finally arrived in Youyang in the evening.
However, this time, General Ji insisted on not letting Ji Ruhuan stay in Youyang longer, and early the next morning, he sent someone to send Wu Yuexuan and Ji Ruhuan to Kyoto.
Even if Ji Ruhuan was unhappy, she had to go back obediently, and indeed she couldn't help much here.
General Ji repeatedly asked, very worried that they would meet the Daliang army that had entered the north, but fortunately, they had a smooth journey and did not meet.
Wu Yuexuan sent Ji Ruhuan to the relative safety of the northern border, and then turned back to the northern border.
Ji Ruhuan did not stop him, these days of getting along, for Wu Yuexuan, Ji Ruhuan also has a new understanding, this person may be a flamboyant and domineering man in Kyoto, but on the battlefield, he is definitely a brave and resourceful general.
In her previous life, she was able to sit in the position of the general soldier of Liaodong at a young age, and she thought it was because of her family background, but now it seems that she still has some real skills.
Ji Ruhuan went all the way back to Kyoto, but it was a different scene when Wu Yuexuan went back to the north.
He went all the way to the north, and there were refugees fleeing south everywhere, and only after inquiring did he know that the Great Liang army entered the north, and began to burn and loot everywhere, and the people in the north were miserable and had to flee south.
Looking at such a scene, Wu Yuexuan felt a little angry with his eldest brother in his heart, Yanmen Pass had not heard of a war, but this northern border had become a Shura field.
If the eldest brother could bring reinforcements without delaying for so long, and could come to support the north early and repel the Great Liang army, this situation would not have occurred.
And what Ji Ruhuan told him before, he didn't believe it too much, but now he has to wonder, obviously there is no war in Yanmen Pass, why has the northern reinforcements been dragged in Yanmen Pass?
If it weren't for the imperial court's order, his eldest brother would never do such a thing.
As soon as he passed through a village, looking at the stumps and broken arms everywhere in the village, and the corpses were all over the field, such a tragic situation, Wu Yuexuan couldn't help but gritted his teeth and scolded, "This group of beasts." ”
Da Liang was hateful, thinking that this miserable scene was caused by those moths in Kyoto who only knew how to fight for power and scheming, Wu Yuexuan hated it even more in his heart.
On the side, Wu Tong said worriedly, "Childe, let's leave quickly, if we meet the Da Liang Army, we will be in trouble." ”
Wu Yuexuan was on fire in his heart, glanced at Wu Tong, and reprimanded, "Wu Tong, this son didn't see that you are such a greedy person who is afraid of death." ”
Wu Tong was full of grievances when he heard this, and said, "The slave is just worried about the son, as long as it is for the son, I am not afraid to let the slave die thousands of times, but the son, we can't die in this kind of place in vain, in the hands of the Daliang Tartar." ”
Wu Yuexuan also knew that he was angry, and replied with a sigh, "Let's go, change the northeast and go to join the eldest brother." ”
There are some things, he thinks he should give his eldest brother a thorough explanation, but he can't because of those moths in Kyoto, the harmful Daming finally lost the entire northern border.
