Chapter 123: The Wilderness

Liaodong's poor military salaries and Pingshuo kings' reinforcements from Jiayuguan arrived in Jinzhou one after another.

At this time, Yu Jingning handed over a copy of the fold and returned to Beijing without hesitation, and said in a roundabout way that the cavalry in his hand was not very good, and he wanted to find his father for support.

The imperial court was busy looking for Tan Qincha all over the world, so he didn't pay much attention to what Yu Zongbing said, and Chen Hui was circling during the period, so it was quickly approved.

In fact, Yu Jiajun had already had his first meal in Jinzhou City.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Yu handed over another letter with this letter, cordially condoled the emperor's mother's well-being, and then asked a question - the amount of military salary doesn't seem to be enough? The people along the way must have eaten a lot of cards, so hurry up and see who has filled their pockets.

Sun Hefeng finally didn't shrink his neck, and dared to ask a few questions, although the volume was not high, but fortunately, he asked a few questions at a very high level, and the whole court was silent, only to hear a sneer

Tian Xin, who was vaguely connotated, was planning to face the dispute in the court at this time, and was thrown over by him with such a big pot, and his hands almost trembled, and he almost didn't catch it.

His godfather Qiu Anren seemed to be very disgusted with his dragging feet, and instructed, if this little thing is still caught, don't stay under my hands.

Tian Xin didn't know whether the eunuch's godfather's instructions wanted him and the military department to fight to the end, or whether he simply turned this matter into a small matter. If you really check all the way according to Sun Hefeng and Yu Jingning's intentions, there are few clean ones in your own henchmen's hands, and they won't be served even by others. So he simply confessed and made up the military salary for the Liaodong front again, and the big thing turned into a small thing.

Although the spring ploughing that dragged on until April finally kicked off, after all, it was still a ready-made silver coin in his hand.

The Liaodong Army, which had food, money and people, immediately built Jinzhou City into an impermeable fortress.

This Jinzhou city wall adopts the method of building Ding Shuncheng, that is, the plum blossom Ding. The back bricks use city bricks or small bricks, generally the city bricks are thick and full of bricks, and the small bricks are five or six into the rough. The thickness of the brickwork is about four feet, and the bricks are pure white plaster. The city is inlaid with ash for a week with the height of the city, such as laying bricks on the outside, and the layer of ash is nearly a foot thick. The center of the city is rammed plain soil, the thickness of the layer is about seven inches, and there are broken bricks and tiles between about three or four inches. Two steps of ash are built on the ground of the city wall, and the thickness of the layer is about four inches. The inside and outside of the city foot ash scatter water two steps, the width is more than three feet, the layer thickness is eight inches, the foot of the outer wall of the city is inlaid with two layers of blue strip stone, the layer thickness is about one foot.

In addition, it was mixed with soy milk foam and wiped the entire city, unless it was the reincarnation of iron rats, no one could drill through the city wall.

The guards were busy repairing the city, and the rest of the sergeants were running around the vast black earth for the whole of April.

Uliangha changed his previous style, did not organize any large-scale siege battles, but began to fight guerrilla warfare with the Heng army as if he had fought the autumn wind in the past.

From time to time, I will harass it, if I can beat it, I will fight it, and if I can't beat it, I will run, and even Yiju City can say that I don't want it. Wu Liangha scattered a group of people on the vast Liaohe Plain, creating a "dotted" pattern, and the Heng army was exhausted.

This situation lasted until the beginning of May, and the heatwave that returned to the soul finally swept back, and the land of Liaodong seemed to have entered summer directly without experiencing spring.

The armor is made of metal, and when the sun shines, it becomes hot, and it becomes a shackle of steel and iron bones on the body, and the hot person is out of breath.

Yu Zhiwei wiped a handful of sweat, the hood on her head was like a headlight cover, and she kept heating up on her head all the time, and she was about to steam her into a cooked steamed bun. The sweat was a little blind, she didn't dare to relax, so she could only wipe it.

She led people to chase after Uliangha and ran for a long time, and after a long time, she drove around the plain. Before he could have a seizure, Uliangha rushed away as if he was running for his life.

Yu Zhiwei almost caught up with his brain as soon as his brain was hot. But this group of people is running too fast, and there is a strangeness in the fast, and it always feels like they want to lead people into some circle. Yu Zhiwei was reluctantly stabilized by the excitement of the blood, and reined in time.

Further on, it might be a trap, waiting for the beast to take the bait.

She looked back and saw Yu Jingning and the people he had brought. She felt that something was wrong, and I was afraid that it was too late.

In the past, although Wuliangha had been slipping people on the Liaohe Plain, he had never slipped away so much.

Yu Zhiwei nodded silently, estimated the number of people around him, and counted more than a thousand.

"The light rider scouts are all out of line." Yu Zhiwei opened his throat and shouted, and soon, six or seven lightly armed cavalrymen came out of the team, one with a clairglass.

Yu Zhiwei instructed: "Go out first to explore the road and find the traces of General Yu." The rest stood by first. ”

The scouts all said, "Yes." The horses galloped out, and Yu Zhiwei and the others rested in place for a while.

This is a strange place, and Yu Zhiwei's sense of direction is not too good, so he doesn't dare to act rashly, so he can only want to fix it.

She took out her handkerchief and wiped the blood from the pear spear.

Along with her, the Uliangha people slipped away by Che Si'er, and this guy was coming up on horseback, as if to report something to her.

Yu Zhiwei raised his head and face, sweat washed out a few marks on his face, and he became a flower face with a wipe of his hand. She smiled almost comically with such a flowery face: "What does Fourth Brother Che want to say, just say it, why bother." ”

Che Si'er licked her teeth and asked, "How much gunpowder and thistle terrestris are left in the girl's gun?" ”

"Not much." Yu Zhiwei wiped the gun and put it in his hand, "Fourth brother Che, don't worry, I know it's save." ”

Without waiting for Che Si'er to say anything more, Yu Zhiwei opened his mouth again and asked, "I don't know much about the roads around here, does Fourth Brother Che know who is the local guard in us, so he can show the way?" ”

Che Si'er said yes, turned around and called out a young soldier in the team, asked a few words, and the little soldier arched his hand towards Yu Zhiwei and said: "Back to the girl's words, there are plains all around, and there is only one hill, called Wanghai Mountain, which is not high." It shouldn't be too far away. ”

Surrounded by a mountain? Yu Zhiwei said in his heart, it's not too far away, and I can't see it, it's probably a small dirt bag, and I don't know what sea I'm looking at.

Yu Zhiwei asked a few more words, thinking that if he couldn't find Yu Jingning, he would simply lead people back to the city, and lead more than a thousand people to stay in this wilderness.

Just as he was thinking about it, one of the scouts who had just stepped forward came back and shouted, "Girl! The group of people we drove just now are back! ”
