Chapter 560: Hope
The two also had a hunch and hurriedly asked for details.
Wang Yan said: "This must have been done by someone sent by Pan Zihao." He learned of the mutiny in the imperial city and knew that Dajing was dead, so he took revenge frantically. ”
Huo Fei said: "He has taken refuge in Anguo." ”
Very affirmative tone.
Wang Yan nodded in agreement.
Zhang Jinyan exclaimed: "The grain and grass ahead ......"
Wang Yan sighed: "I'm afraid it's all ruined." ”
Although the abolition of the emperor was perverse, there were people who were loyal to Dajing in both the officialdom and the army, and as long as Pan Zihao was in the name of reviving Dajing and exterminating the rebellious party, he could drive them to be spies and burn military rations.
And Xuanwu Pass has been short of food for a long time, and Pan Zihao was ordered by the abolition emperor to harm the loyal and righteous duke, and cut off the grain and grass armament of the loyal and righteous duke. Now that the follow-up military rations have been burned, not to mention that it is difficult to raise a large amount of grain and grass in a hurry, even if there is grain in the official warehouse now, it will not be transported for ten days and a half months, and far water will not quench the thirst of the near.
After Zhang Jinyan figured it out, he said in fear: "Then my father is not in danger?" Cousin, you quickly find a way to save your father and Uncle Suzaku! You want to! Aren't you the smartest? He grabbed Wang Yan's arms and shook them vigorously.
Wang Yan comforted him in a deep voice: "Cousin, don't panic. There were also grain and grass supplies in the rear, and in order to prevent the villain from making trouble, my cousin immediately turned back to meet them and personally escorted them to northern Xinjiang. My brother is in front to check out the spies for you. ”
Zhang Jinyan said: "My brother takes the order. ”
After thinking about it, he said, "It's too late!" When he thought of his father and thousands of soldiers in danger, his eyes turned red.
Wang Yan turned to Huo Fei and said, "Please also ask the general to order an immediate pull-out, speed up the march, and send a vanguard team to open the way; While you and I are marching, we are raising grain and grass from the states and counties along the way, and we can raise as much as we can. ”
He was afraid that the Suzaku King would not be able to hold on. In order to save time, now we can only take grain on the spot, raise a little bit and send it to the frontier first, let the soldiers last for a day, and wait until the successor army food is transported, which can be regarded as surviving this catastrophe. Moreover, he also wanted to rush to Xuanwu Pass as soon as possible to meet with the Vermilion Bird King, to see if he could find another way, such as attacking instead of defending, or taking grain and grass from the enemy, rather than sitting back and waiting to die.
Huo Fei nodded in response, "Yes." ”
Turn around and pass the military order, pull out!
Wang Yan turned to look at the southeast and thought, "There is still one hope: Li Hanyao!" In front of him, a slender figure wearing a rich peony flower phoenix tail skirt embroidered on a navy blue background appeared in front of him, captivating the country and the city, and the elegance was peerless. This was his first official meeting with Li Hanyao in the Splendid Hall after returning from seven years of travel.
That impression is unforgettable!
He said to himself, "Don't let me down! ”
At the beginning, "Li Hanyao" promised in public at the Qianyuan Palace: to support 1.5 million quintals of military rations and 1.5 million sets of military uniforms in northern Xinjiang.
Will she keep her promise?
Jiangnan is far from the northwest and farther than the capital, Wang Yan should not have extravagant hopes for her, and there is a basis for hoping for what happens.
First of all, according to his judgment, Li Hanyao's idea of donating military rations should be a strategy set before entering Beijing, rather than a temporary idea, in order to make a name for the Li family. Therefore, the food should be ready, and there is no need to spend time and effort raising it. The Li family will not let go of this opportunity to gain fame, and will never break their word.
Secondly, he didn't know about Li Hanyao and Guanqi's exchange of identities, in his heart, Li Hanyao had already left the capital at the end of last year, and there was enough time to arrange transportation, which made up for the disadvantages of the long distance.
In the end, at the Qianyang Palace, Li Hanyao refused to tell the ministers when and where to hand over the grain and grass, saying that he was afraid that someone would destroy it. Somehow, he always felt that Li Hanyao's move had a deep meaning, or could give him an unexpected surprise.
But this was his speculation after all.
He will not pin his hopes on Li Hanyao. Joining forces with Li Hanyao is a long-term strategy, planning the overall situation, and the future, and it is certainly better to work now; No, and there was no decisive influence on his layout.
Therefore, he didn't tell Huo Fei and Zhang Jinyan about this fire-like hope, so as to save his expectations and be hit harder.
He's on his own, looking for another way!
He said to Zhang Jinyan again: "Send a letter back to Beijing for my brother and horse, please Xie Xiang raise grain and grass at all costs, and ask the White Tiger King to speed up the production of motor vehicles, transport grain and grass to the northwest, and rescue hundreds of thousands of soldiers." My cousin took your people back to answer him, and then sent an eight-hundred-mile expedited military post to deliver a letter back to Beijing. I still have something to give to my cousin, you send a cronie back to Xie Xiang, and a letter. ”
The speed of motor vehicles is several times that of horse-drawn carriages, and Anguo does not know the news of their successful development, which is their hope.
Zhang Jinyan said: "Yes! ”
Turned and galloped out of the tent.
Wang Yan began to write secret letters, and released ten carrier pigeons in a row, for fear that if there was a mistake, the military situation would be delayed.
After the release, the army marched out.
Zhang Jinyan led the Xuanwu army to turn around and run back and forth.
When Wang Yan and the others set off, Mrs. Yu came to find her, saying that her daughter Yu Yue had run away from home, leaving only a letter, saying that she would go to northern Xinjiang with Mrs. Su (that is, Liang Chaoyun).
Yu Lian was stunned after reading the letter.
Yu Yue learned some medical skills from a female doctor in Guannei since she was a child, and when she saw Liang Chaoyun with 300 doctors with the army, she also had to go to the border to save the dead and help the wounded.
Wang Yan was busy asking Liang Chaoyun.
Liang Chaoyun brought Yu Yue, who was hiding in the team, and persuaded her not to be impulsive, but to go home with her parents.
Wang Yan saw that the little girl was only fourteen or fifteen years old, looking gentle and demure, but the words she said were not demure, she insisted on going to Northern Xinjiang, and said: "Lord Liang has died on the battlefield, Sister Liang also left behind her gentleness and wealth, and went to Northern Xinjiang to save the life and help the wounded, my sister is not as good as Lord Liang and Sister Liang, and she can also do her meager strength." ”
Mrs. Yu: "......"
This daughter has fallen into evil.
Wang Yan's heart moved, thinking of Li Hanyao, and secretly thought: "If there are more women in the world who come out to do things, it won't seem that she is deviant, and her situation will not be too difficult in the future." I just don't know what this Yu girl's heart is, don't think about going to Northern Xinjiang to play, right? After thinking about it, he solemnly asked Yu Yue: "Miss Yu, although the doctors in the army only save the dead and help the wounded, they are not without danger to their lives; Also, saving the dead and helping the wounded, saving all the soldiers in the army, there is a difference between men and women, do you really think about it? ”
Yu Yue didn't dare to look at his eyes, lowered her eyes and said firmly: "The little girl has thought about it!" ”
Yu Lian asked her daughter, "Do you really want to go?" ”
Yu Yue said: "My daughter must follow Sister Liang, don't try to stop my daughter." ”
Zhao Xi muttered, "Follow Sister Liang? I think it's following Brother Wang. ”
Liang Chaoyun on the side heard this, hurriedly turned her elbow, and glanced at her again, for fear of being heard, so that she could not talk nonsense.
Just listen to Yu Lian said: "Then let's go." ”
Yu Yue blinked and looked at her father in disbelief, "Daddy really agreed?" ”
Yu Lian nodded and said, "Daddy wants to guard Lingyun Pass, so you will go to the frontier on behalf of Daddy." If you can save more soldiers' lives, you can also afford to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in person. It's not in vain that your father raised you, and it's not worse than your son. ”
Yu Yue was overjoyed and said: "My daughter will never disgrace her father!" ”
Then he knelt down and kowtowed, saying goodbye to his parents.
She became the youngest doctor on the trip.
Wang Yan in turn assured Yu Lian and Mrs. Yu: "Please rest assured that General Yu and Mrs. Yu will do their best to protect Yu Weiniang." ”
