Chapter 788: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain
788
It's a hot day in June, and it's like it's on fire.
Just after breakfast, it's already hot and impatient.
Wei Yining was wearing a shirt with a sheer gauze, but the tip of her nose was still slightly sweaty, and Xiao She'er fanned her on the side.
Wei Yining is now pregnant and can't eat cold things, so she only put a big ice in the house, which is full of ice.
"How's it going out there?" Wei Yining asked, "Have all the mung beans been delivered?" ”
"Madam, don't worry, there is Uncle Zhou, they are taking care of it outside! It's so hot, you can't go out, my grandfather has repeatedly told us. Lingzhi said.
It turned out that from today onwards, Zhong Ye would lead soldiers to help the people who were clearing the wasteland to harvest wheat.
Wei Yining then ordered the housekeepers and servants in the house to set up a pot and cook mung bean soup outside, and sent it to the people and soldiers who were busy with the farmers to relieve the heat.
"I don't know if there are enough people outside, it's enough to leave one person to serve me," Wei Yining said, "The rest will go outside to help!" In addition, Xigu is not well from heat stroke, so there is no need to call her. ”
So Lingzhi stayed, and Xiao She'er Futaba and several other mothers-in-law went outside to help.
It was busy until noon, and everyone hastily ate and went back to rest everywhere, because the weather was really hot.
At noon, the treetops did not move, and they screamed weakly, as if they were about to die of heat.
The house was quiet, and no one moved.
A figure flashed by the well in the backyard, looked around carefully, and made sure that no one had opened the paper bag in his hand, and the powder in it fell into the well water, and soon disappeared.
The man left the well as if nothing had happened.
When the sun turns west, the heat dissipates little by little, and the people in the house start to get busy.
Especially the people in the back kitchen, it's time to start preparing dinner.
The freshly drawn well water is cool, and it is used to wash vegetables, wash rice, and boil hot water, and no one notices that anything is wrong.
Zhong Ye had already said that he would not come back for dinner, so Wei Yining didn't have to wait for him.
But after dinner, the people in the house began to feel uncomfortable, mainly because of diarrhea.
Everyone thought it was hot and the food was not clean.
Lingzhi came out of the upper room holding his stomach and said to Zhou Quan: "Uncle and Mrs. Zhou also have abdominal pain, please hurry up and invite a Lang Zhong to come over!" ”
Zhou Quan didn't dare to delay, and endured the discomfort to ask the doctor in person.
And Zhong Ye and the soldiers had just finished their work, and before they had time to eat, a pawn in charge of delivering the message ran into the camp in a panic, shouting: "It's not good, it's not good!" The wheat field of Mihara is on fire! ”
When everyone heard this, they were anxious, knowing that it was the most fertile land in Liangzhou, and the harvest of one season of wheat could solve the food rations of half of the people in Liangzhou.
"Grandpa, let's hurry up and put out the fire!" Zhong Ye's subordinates said one after another: "Sanyuan is only a hundred miles away from here, and if you ride a horse, you will soon be there." ”
Not to mention how Zhong Ye sent troops and generals, just talk about the general's mansion.
Zhou Quan invited Lang Zhong and prescribed an antidiarrheal prescription for everyone to take, but it didn't work very well.
It went on until midnight.
There were moans everywhere in the house, and some people couldn't hold on anymore and lay down completely.
At this moment, a dark figure quietly approached the back door, and after going out of the back door, he drew a mark with lime on the wall, and then turned back.
But before he could go far, he was stopped.
"Xigu, it's so late, what are you doing in the backyard?" It was the butler who spoke.
"It turned out to be Uncle Zhou, I was a little hungry because I didn't eat dinner, so I wanted to come to the back kitchen to find something to eat." Xigu smiled and said a little embarrassed, she has always been honest and inconspicuous.
"Madame called you over," Zhou Quan said, "I have something to ask you." ”
The gates of Liangzhou City were closed after sunset, and the head of the city was guarded by sergeants.
Xu Jingfeng personally led the team, let all the Turkic soldiers talk about the horizontal wood, and quickly and quietly approached Liangzhou City.
Although he couldn't see a hundred miles away, he knew in his heart that the wheat fields of Sanyuan were burning at the moment.
He got the news that Zhong Ye had already gone to fight the fire with the main force, which showed that his plan to divert the tiger from the mountain had been successful.
Next, he is going to besiege Liangzhou City, and there are detailed works in the city that he has arranged before, and he will answer them inside.
Even if Wei Yining is scheming, he has already fallen into his way at this moment, and it is difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river himself.
By the time Zhong Ye woke up, he had already led people to occupy Liangzhou City.
When the time comes, capture Wei Yining alive and escort her to the city to threaten Zhong Ye, doesn't it mean that Zhong Ye loves his wife very much? Let's see where he goes!
If he refuses to submit, then it's nothing, he just took this opportunity to take revenge on Wei Yining, and let those Tartar soldiers spoil her in the city tower.
Who let her harm the Xu family to a situation from which there is no return!
The more Xu Jingfeng thought about it, the more proud he became, as if the happy situation had been presented in front of him.
When they arrived near the city gate, the soldiers defending the city noticed it and immediately panicked.
Xu Jingfeng ordered the Turkic soldiers to start attacking the city, and the defenders on the city were obviously under-armed.
Just when Xu Jingfeng thought that everything was under his control, the counterattack on the city tower suddenly became fierce.
It turned out that reinforcements from the city had arrived.
Leading the troops was Zhong Ye's junior general Xue Wei, who entered the city from the East City Gate by a detour before dark, and the defenders of the other three city gates certainly did not know.
"Write onslaught, don't hesitate!" Xu Jingfeng shouted in Turkic dialect: "Just attack the city!" ”
However, how easy is it to breach the city? I don't know where the detailed work he arranged, and he couldn't pick it up at all.
When the two sides were stalemate, a team of people suddenly rushed behind him, Xu Jingfeng looked back, and his heart immediately cooled half.
The person at the head is tall and bearded, who else is not Zhong Ye?!
"Xu Jingfeng, you dog thief, you can't run away today no matter what." Zhong Ye shouted loudly on his horse: "With your little trick, you still want to calculate me? ”
Although Xu Jingfeng didn't know how Zhong Ye spied on his conspiracy, he knew in his heart that this time he was really done.
However, the trapped beast is still fighting, and he doesn't want to be so obediently captured.
While ordering his men to fight back, he waited for an opportunity to escape.
Zhong Ye sat on his horse with a look of contempt. Seeing that he was trying to escape, he took out a bow and arrow, and an arrow hit Xu Jingfeng's back shoulder, and he fell off his horse and was captured alive.
This battle did not last for two hours, the main reason was that Zhong Ye had already scared the Turkic soldiers out of fear, and this time it was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, which caught them off guard.
