Chapter 109: Where My Heart Wants

An Dezhong's figure disappeared on the ground, and the originally huge caravan also disappeared, leaving only Xiaojun and Xiaoqiang in a car.

Lian Xiaoqiang leaned on the car until this time and wiped the sweat from her head.

"I kind of get it." He muttered, "Every time I think I've encountered the most unbelievable thing in the world, the next time it's always even more terrifying." ”

Looking back now, when I went to buy grain from the rebel Zhang Qing, I went to buy Yangzhou City from Ma Jiang, and even went to Jiannan Road for revenge, what was it.

With the rebel leader An Dezhong and thousands of rebels, he swaggered through Huainan Province, and then sent to Taiyuan Mansion to reunite his father and son......

Is this something that people can come up with? Let's not say if it's something that people dare to do.....

Lian Xiaoqiang sat on the ground, his eyes were empty, he didn't seem to have any thoughts about this matter, the only thought was, what will happen next time?

What else would even Xiaojun do? What else will you sell and buy? The world?

In the world, his eyes gathered somewhat, as if it was ..... What did you say to Lian Xiaojun? Do a business called the world or something?

He bred his body and looked for Lian Xiaojun, first heard the voice of Xi Xisuo, and then saw Lian Xiaojun opening a letter.....

"This wasn't given to Mrs. by An Dezhong?" Lian Xiaoqiang forgot what she was going to ask, jumped up and stared at her and lowered her voice, "Why did you open it?" ”

Even Xiaojun said: "Madame's letter to An Dezhong has been read by me." ”

"That's to keep you informed." Lian Xiaoqiang said, her expression was a little frightened, An Dezhong was very scary, wouldn't the woman who dared to deal with An Dezhong even more terrifying, "She didn't say that you should read An Dezhong's reply." ”

"If I say I want to see it, Madame will let me see it." Lian Xiaojun said, "I think it's also to know how the business is doing." ”

Forget it, anyway, as long as Lian Xiaojun wants to do something, what's the use of him talking, Lian Xiaoqiang tiptoes, then, what did An Dezhong write?

Lian Xiaojun smiled: "He thanked Mrs. Chu Guo for telling him about his father's illness, and recalled the acquaintance of the two at the beginning, and sighed for a moment like today's chaos and hardship." ”

I really convinced these people, no, these ghosts, they are obviously evil ghosts, and they still have to speak human words, even Xiaoqiang laughed, isn't the chaos and hardship in this world caused by their father and son?

"Could it be that he still has to talk about the absurdity of the court and court officials? Is it just that their father and son are doing it? ”

Lian Xiaojun smiled: "That's not true, An Dezhong is not a stupid person, he won't say these useless words, he, he directly gave Mrs. Chu a promise." ”

What promises? Even Xiaoqiang was curious.

"He said, 'Wait for him to win the world.' Lian Xiaojun tossed the letter into his cuffs and smiled, "Mrs. Chu is still Mrs. Chu Guo." ”

......

......

When An Dezhong stopped to let the horses rest for a while, he also looked back, even Xiaojun's figure had long been gone, and the city here was also shrouded in twilight.

The people and horses all around them became foggy, and there was no sound except the panting of the horses, and the silence was oppressive, like the clouds before the storm.

They are indeed not like merchants, nor are they like ordinary retinues, they have weapons hidden in their horses and clothes, and they all have blood on their bodies, but they did not expect to really come from the territory of Huainan Province, unimpeded.

Along the way, it is inevitable to pass through the city, looking at the crowds surging on the road, the soldiers and horses patrolling, for them, it is like a piece of bloody meat in front of them, I really want to go up and take a bite, and then the lively crowd scatters in all directions, soldiers and horses fight, and the bright spring day is full of blood and corpses...... The thought of this scene makes their blood boil, it is too exciting.

Although An Dezhong also thinks like this from time to time, he is still sober in the end, the first move is not so easy, there is no point in trying to be happy for a while, and secondly, he is always vigilant that this is a trap.....

"Eldest prince, now it seems that this Mrs. Chu is credible." The lieutenant said in a low voice.

They had already walked through Huainan Road and left the place controlled by the Lady of Chu State, as long as they crossed Henan Road in front of them...... Henan Road can even be ignored here, the soldiers and horses there are just putting on a show, and now it can be said that Taiyuan Fuhe East Road is in front of you.

"Say we're rebels." The other lieutenant sneered in a low voice, "None of these guards are black-hearted, and they are all for themselves. ”

An Dezhong said: "Who else can you do if you don't do it for yourself?" Human. However, the woman Mrs. Chu is treacherous and crazy, and now is not the time to let down her vigilance. ”

He looked ahead, and the ground was gradually covered with night.

"Not on her own territory, Mrs. Chu is better to do it, she refuses to leave the capital, and arrests the emperor's officials, at this time, if there is some movement outside the capital, it is not impossible to make a meritorious contribution and deter the emperor."

The lieutenants nodded, although they had already passed Huainan Road, the matter was still unbelievable and suspicious.

"The eldest son." An adjutant general asked the doubts in his heart, "In that case, why do you take such a big risk.....

An Dezhong took a sip and gritted his teeth to look at the night ahead: "Naturally, it's because if this matter is true, it will be in our great interests." ”

He scolded An Qingzhong fiercely in his heart, he was not satisfied with King Zheng, and he still wanted to be the emperor, he really regarded his eldest brother as a dead man!

If An Kangshan dies of illness, or no matter how he dies, the more than 80,000 soldiers and horses left behind after death are seized by An Qingzhong, then he can really only be a dead man!

An Dezhong's heart was on fire, and he asked other soldiers and horses for news, of course he couldn't just bring a few thousand soldiers and horses, and then tied his life to Lian Xiaojun, after learning about Taiyuan Mansion, in addition to him walking from Huainan Road, other places, from Jiangnan Road and even from Southeast Road, he also arranged for people and horses to sneak.

The lieutenants questioned the scouts, but did not receive any news for the time being.

The road is far away and there are few soldiers and horses, it is estimated that the journey is not smooth, and An Dezhong can't control it, as long as he can ensure that the people he brings with him can smoothly and arrive at Taiyuan Mansion as soon as possible, it will be successful.

"Pull out the camp."

At the sound of an order, the night floated, and the people and horses spread out on the ground like thick ink.

......

......

The night sky of midspring is dotted with stars, and there are sparks on the dark earth in Hebei Province from time to time.

Swords and arrows flew wildly, and the fortress was ablaze, and people kept falling on it, either with fire, or being slashed by someone, and the screams hit the ground with a muffled thumping sound, and the screams were either more tragic or disappeared in an instant.

The horn of the retreat sounded, and the crowds on the ground receded like a tide, and the door of the fort opened, and groups of soldiers and horses rushed out, and torches illuminated the corpses scattered on the ground.

These corpses have no military robes and look like ordinary people, but the weapons scattered are not for the people to have.

"My lord, this is the military flag of the Shi Dynasty."

"These people are wearing military robes."

As the search continued, there were voices reporting, and the general headed by him had a gloomy face and waved his hand: "The thief actually went out of Jian'an Prefecture!" Pursue! ”

A group of Zhenwu troops carried firelight and scattered around to search and pursue.

In the night without firelight, a group of people ran wildly and jumped into the undulating ravines of the hills.

When the day was bright, the weeds in the ravine shook, and a few birdsongs sounded, and when a few birdsongs were heard in the distance, groups of people hiding under the grass leaned out.

The grass was wrapped around their heads and bodies, and the shadows cast on their faces obscured them, some drank water, some ate dry food, and some vomited blood... The curse also sounded chaotically: "This damn Zhenwu Army!" "It's wrong, it should be called the Crow Army!".

More than a dozen people gathered a tall man standing on the ravine overlooking it, and he was in a trance as long as the ravine stretched, and how long the people and horses swayed and hid in it.....

These men were also undressed and had grass on their heads, and the rising sun cast shadows on them.

"Governor." A scout approached and saluted the tall man, "The garrison here has not pursued again, and has retreated to the fort." ”

This person is the Shi Dynasty who was named the envoy of Fanyang Festival after Ankang Mountain ascended the throne, and the most trusted general of Ankang Mountain, who once led 80,000 troops.

It's just that now after a series of losses, wild boars were killed in battle, and Fanyang County of Hebei Province was lost, and now they can only hide in Jian'an Prefecture with a few soldiers and horses.

Shi Chao looked ahead and thought for a moment: "Take back the soldiers and horses, let's take a detour." ”

At the sound of the order, the grass shook, the footsteps of horses neighed, and the shaking ravines were dusty.

Standing on the high fortress, it seems that you can also see the smoke and dust rising from the sky....

"Your Excellency." The scout said in a loud voice, "Shi Chaobing has appeared. ”

The general asked, "Have you come to us?" ”

The scout shook his head, "They're gone." ”

The adjutant generals were eager to wait for an order to pursue, but the general withdrew his gaze and said, "Order everywhere, the city is under martial law, and the people will take refuge in the city for the time being." ”

The scout responded, and one of the lieutenants came back to his senses and shouted, "Aren't we going to pursue?" ”

This is defending, not attacking.

When did they see the rebels but not attack?

That's the rebels! Delivered to your door!

The general looked at the lieutenant generals and said: "There is an order from above, the city must be strictly guarded recently, if there are rebels, dare to violate and kill without mercy, if they retreat, they will not be pursued." ”

The lieutenants obeyed the military orders, but their faces were still full of doubts, there is no contradiction between strictly guarding the city and chasing down the rebels, why?

It was not only the lieutenant generals who were puzzled, hearing that the defenders here did not chase after them, Shi Chao also stopped with a solemn expression.

"It's not like the Raven Army." A general said, "Governor, I just said, there is a problem with this matter!" ”

Not long ago, a merchant from Yanhaidao sent them a message, saying that Ankang Mountain was seriously ill, Mrs. Chu was going to fight Taiyuan Mansion, and Shandong's soldiers and horses were mobilized.

The news was shocking, and after retiring to Jian'an Prefecture, they felt like they were cut off from the outside world.

"Yes, how could His Majesty the Great Emperor be seriously ill? It's a trap! Another general said in a low voice, "The merchants from Yanhai Road are not necessarily reliable, but they are close to Yizhou, and Yizhou is the territory of the Zhenwu Army. ”

Shi Chao disagreed with this sentence, not because the merchant was unreliable, but because the emperor could be seriously ill.

Ankang Mountain, no one knows better than him, he looks majestic, but in fact, he is physically and mentally sick, he has rotten sores on his body, and he is easily manic mentally.

"Actually, we haven't been to Hebei for a long time." A scout said, "Hebei Province has been different recently, the government is operating, and the righteous children of Wu Ya'er are divided into cities, and all places are resettled and homeless, farming, and strict law and discipline, and fighting is not allowed." ”

This really doesn't look like the Raven Army Zhenwu Army!

In the past, they only fought wars, and they didn't pay attention to defending the city, and when they encountered rebels, they all fought to the death, and they didn't treat the city as their own, and they could burn it if they could give it up, and they didn't care how many cities they occupied, as long as there were rebels in the territory, what was the use of occupying the city, let alone raising the people and supporting the government......

In addition to not robbing or killing civilians, Wu Ya'er's soldiers and horses are no different from the rebels!

No, it's more rebels than rebels, at least many rebels still like to rob cities and defend cities to hoard grain and grass.

These words made everyone whisper for a while, what's wrong with Zhenwujun? The feeling of putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot.....

Shi Chao's face was solemn and solemn, but it faded away.

"It's not surprising, because he's going to raise the city and govern the people." He said, "We must straighten out the government and reassure the people, so that we can hoard power, and once people want to hoard power, they will be less courageous, and they will be reluctant to fight to death." ”

Everyone nodded, and this was understood.

"But what is Wu Ya'er doing this? He's got enough. ”

Shi Chao had a hint of ridicule on his lips: "Because the emperor is going back to Beijing, Wu Ya'er has begun to prepare for the way back." ”

After another round of discussion, they couldn't come up with anything, so let's discuss the most crucial issue.

Is Ankang Mountain really sick? Are they really going to rush back to Taiyuan Mansion?

Shi Chao looked in the direction of Taiyuan Mansion, let's talk about it now, Ankang Mountain's serious illness was just an introduction, so he took this step in one breath.

Regardless of whether Ankang Mountain is really sick or fake, Ankang Mountain is really going to die, it's good, it doesn't matter if he doesn't die.

He must return to Taiyuan Mansion.

He can't be trapped in Jian'an State, and if he is trapped here all the time, he will be like a fish in a dry pool of water, and he will die soon.

Only when he returns to Taiyuan Mansion and regains control of more than 80,000 soldiers and horses can he really turn over and regain his prosperity.

"Our purpose is just to get by." Shi Chao gave an order, "Avoid the city checkpoints, scatter the troops and horses, encounter pursuit, do not fight, everyone go to Taiyuan Mansion as quickly as possible!" ”
