Volume 1 How Can There Be a Way on Earth in Troubled Times 24 Yongping III.
When Deng She and the others arrived, it was already late.
The county seat of Lulong is not large, and the city gate was closed early in the chaotic season. The red scarf sneaked all the way, and half a figure didn't touch it. Outside the county, there are fertile fields, clear water and streams, and big trees become forests. Looking to the west, in the vast night, the distant mountains are like lines, undulating.
Deng She's army stopped in a wilderness forest more than ten miles outside the county seat. Ordered: No fires, no people, no conversations. From the forest, they could already see the towering walls of Yongping Mansion, lit with lights, and the inhabitants of the city had not yet slept peacefully.
Calling Heguangxiu, Deng She and Yan said: "If you want to come to Yongping here, the city gate has been closed." Can you go in? ”
When it came to the end, Ha Guangxiu was not nervous at all. He was a little proud and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, among the soldiers guarding the city gate in Yongping, there are villains who are familiar with them. also knows that the villain went out of the city with the dog-legged green army. In other words, others dare not guarantee that the villain will definitely open the door when he calls the door. ”
Deng She stared at him for a long time, strange at his relaxed performance. The question was in his heart, and he didn't ask it, he nodded and said, "Time is in a hurry, you enter the city alone, I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of it." Send you a few companions to help you get things done. Summoned Zhao Guo and said, "Brother, pick twenty or thirty heroes who are not afraid of death, take a few old brothers, change into the clothes of the Green Army, and only fill the Goryeo Green Army." You go with him into the city. ”
He also invited Wenhua Kingdom, when he was a horse thief, he was a veteran of Liying. He was the leader of those who entered the city.
Zhao Guo should go. He Guangxiu knew that this was the proper meaning of the question, and there was nothing abnormal, so he patted his chest to express his loyalty: "Go to the soup and go to the fire, and the villain will not dare to delay grandpa's big event." The grandfathers who followed the villain to the city also asked the grandfather to instruct the city gate guards to ask questions, and if they didn't answer, they were all handed over to the villain. ”
His tone and movements are purely natural, without any reluctance, and even more comfortable than Fang Cai. All the generals were suspicious, Wen Huaguo walked in front of him in two steps, he was straightforward, and said what he wanted: "Splash talent!" How can you be so relaxed, dare not have any different ambitions? ”
One sentence frightened He Guangxiu's neck, kowtowed like a drum, and anxiously defended himself: "What did grandpa say this!" What a villain. The villain is disabled, but he is not a person who follows the wind, and he dares to boast of Zhijian. The grandfathers are strong and strong, and they are willing to take in the villain, and the villain is too late to be happy, how dare he do it again? I just can't cut my heart out to show my grandfathers! ”
Wen Huaguo viciously threatened: "Do things honestly, Lao Tzu will reward you with food." Dare to do anything wrong, peeling and extracting the marrow Lao Tzu is also an expert! ”
The soldiers who entered the city had already been chosen. Zhao passed, greeted them one by one, and changed into the color of the green army uniform. Another flag was unfurled, but it was made in the same way as the flag they used as depicted by Ha Mitsu-so.
He Guangxiu said that there were thousands of Koreans in Yongping City, but after Deng She's careful questioning, he realized that it was an exaggeration, and he was talking about the number of Koreans in the entire Yongping Road. However, most of them are in Yongping City. The reason why there are so many Korean people is because Yeongpyeong is not far away, rich and safe; Many Goryeo people who want to go to Dadu to make a fortune, or return to Liaodong from Dadu in frustration, have gathered here.
Before Wen Huaguo, Zhao Guo and the others left, Deng She advised: "When you enter the city this time, you must be careful in everything. Uncle Wen, everything is headed by you. After the deed is completed, the fire is the number, and the success or failure is in one move. ”
Wen Huaguo grinned: "This kind of thing has already been done smoothly." Brother She, you can wait with peace of mind. ”
It takes a certain amount of time to enter the city and contact the Koreans. And it is not easy for 800 people to hide outside. Therefore, Deng She agreed with them that he would start at night the day after tomorrow, and the breakthrough point he chose was the weakest Simon.
Seeing off Wen Huaguo and the others, Deng She felt that this forest was not a suitable place to hide. Send out the horses, look for a better place, and find out the surrounding terrain by the way. There is a hill twenty miles outside Yongping City, which is not high and there are not many trees. Shengsheng is at the bottom of the mountain and near the water, and there are few people around. After hearing the return of the Tanma, Deng She immediately led people and walked up the mountain at night.
When you go up the mountain, you first choose a leeward place to clean it, use the captured and unused green army clothes and flags to spread a thick layer, hang it on a tree, sort out a shelter tent, and ask the tired Mrs. Wang to rest in peace. Then send out the rangers and set up sentry posts. In the end, the area was divided and tied to Chen Hu's various departments. and the distribution of dry rations and the fetching of water.
After more than ten days of dust, Mrs. Wang was much haggard. No matter how much Deng She took care of her, the trek of the horses also made her unbearable. The ears were frozen, and the hands were sharpened, grinding out several red blisters.
As soon as she lay down, she felt sore all over, especially the friction of her thighs and saddle, which made it painful. Since Dongshengzhou broke, she has never taken a bath. Sniff it yourself, and the smell on your body can't even hide the spices in the sachet.
Obviously she was very sleepy, but when she rested all of a sudden, she couldn't sleep. I thought I could finally rest for two days before the siege; I pity my delicate skin for a moment; I suddenly thought of how to compensate for the fatigue of these days after falling into Yongping; Suddenly, I looked forward to the scene of 100,000 people entering the capital.
The night was getting darker, and there was silence under the orders of the troops outside the tent. The sound of the stream flowing in small pieces at the bottom of the mountain, accompanied by the wind, reached her ears. She itched and wanted to take a shower. Restrained this impulse, she is not the kind of woman who does not focus on the big picture.
She vaguely heard Deng She discussing the details of the siege with a few hundred households in a low voice.
I couldn't help but think that Dunshe was considerate ,—— loyal to her along the way. She is simply satisfied with Deng She, not only loyal and considerate, but also different from the brine men like Wen Huaguo whom she despises, and her speech and demeanor are very elegant. This is an indelible trace of Deng She's education in her previous life, of course she doesn't know, it comes down to Deng She's private school when she was a child.
Unfortunately, he is not my family slave. Finally, she thought regretfully.
However, when he returned to Shangdu, he could beg his husband to take him as a slave. Thinking of this, she was in a good mood, and before long, she fell asleep. - Will Dunsher agree? She didn't think about it at all. In her opinion, only a fool would refuse his kindness.
Sunrise and sunset.
In two days, Dunsher slept only three hours. As the appointed date approached, the pressure grew heavier. He was worried about the safety of Wen Huaguo and Zhao Guo, and he was worried about whether the siege would be smooth or not.
He is not the only one who is nervous, Brother Huang Donkey and Luo Guoqi are more nervous than him. At lunchtime, Brother Huang Donkey and Luo Guoqi were calculating the siege process back and forth on the ground; Deng She saw with his own eyes that the two of them put the big bread in their hands and did not eat it, but faced each other, and ate the two pieces of soil in their right hands, and they didn't notice it.
Chen Hu was as taciturn as ever, and his calmness made Deng She very envious. The most relaxed is Monk Li. Eat and sleep, wake up and eat. Strange to say, since the plan to capture Yongping was set, Monk Li has a lot of points, and he is no longer like before, picking his nose and eyes, and targeting him everywhere. Speaking to the answer, occasionally a little respectful.
Dunshe knew he couldn't show his uneasiness. With the support of Madame Wang, nominally, he is currently the supreme governor of the 800 people. His uneasiness will only shake the morale of the army. So, most of the time, he leaned against the tree and closed his eyes.
Day 3.
In the afternoon, Deng She sent out a tour to investigate outside Yongping City. The city was calm as usual, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Residents who were farming outside the city played rude jokes with each other and returned with hoes in twos and threes. In times of war, the gates of the city were closed early. Before dusk, the gates were shut.
Deng She ordered the army to eat dry food and prepare swords and guns. Wait patiently until it gets dark, leave a few teams of people behind, and protect Mrs. Wang. He set off an hour earlier than his son.
Looking closely, the Yongping city wall shows that it has only been thickened and thickened for a long time, and the fresh soil quality is completely different from the old city wall, divided into two colors. There is a river outside the city, which goes around the city, it is not deep, and it is artificially wide. On the tower of the city, a large flag hung high, slowly rolling in the wind. The city was pitch black, and there was no sound.
Lying two or three miles outside the city, Deng She stared intently at the city gate in front of him.
The cold air was thin, and a few torches appeared and disappeared on the city wall, passed through the west gate, and gradually walked away. He is the watchman of the night. Eight hundred brothers, without saying a word, half-crouched on the ground with their mounts, and the occasional soft spurt of the horses, which were at once softly pacified by their masters.
The moon is in the middle of the moon, the time of the child.
The sweat on Deng She's body came out, his mouth was dry, and he subconsciously clenched the handle of the gun, let go, and clenched it again. Chen Hu was by his side, didn't speak, and helped him block the wind.
A moment later, the gates were swarthy, and there was still no sound.
Monk Li looked up at the dark clouds in the dense sky, shrunk his neck, and muttered: "It's gloomy all the way, this ghost weather." If you want to go down, hurry up, it's better than such torture. ”
It seemed that a shout came from inside the city gates, and it was not really heard. Deng She listened intently, and there was a loud bang, and hundreds of people shouted together. With the sound of death's screams, the gate of the city suddenly opened. Inside the gates, first at one point, then with torches. Bright, a avenue exhibited in Yongping City.
At this time, Deng She calmed down. He jumped up, got on his horse, raised his gun, looked back, and shouted: "Take the city, Daqing for three days." Wine, meat, and money are shared by everyone. ”
