Chapter Twenty-Three: Unexpected Results

The rumbling soldiers and horses poured in like a flood from the valley pass, spreading over the vast land.

There were no soldiers and horses fighting, no moats to block them, and the cities were wide open wherever they passed, and the officials and militia knelt down to greet the prime minister.

The original banner on the head of the city was thrown down and replaced with the dragon flag of Ankang Mountain, the banner of the rebel generals, and the military flag of Fanyang, flying high in the spring.

Looking at these new flags at the gate ahead, a group of scouts stopped and turned back.

The scouts galloped through the valley of the town, and at dusk came to a camp where the soldiers and horses were assembled and the banners were fierce.

"Taiyuan Mansion has surrendered to the enemy?" Wu Ya'er was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, and when she heard the news, she was a little surprised, "Didn't you fight?" ”

The scout said: "There was no fighting, as soon as Ankang Mountain entered Guguan, the Taiyuan Mansion officials and generals greeted him." ”

This is unbelievable..... What are you doing? The generals in the tent looked at each other.

"Is this Taiyuan Mansion sick? Why didn't Ankang Mountain vote when he entered Beijing before? ”

"That's not right, there are 30,000 guards in Taiyuan Mansion, and there are two eldest ladies from Southeast Road and Jiannan Road, I heard that they are training soldiers and horses here, and everyone in Taiyuan Mansion is a soldier."

"Why did you surrender to the enemy without any movement?"

These interrogation scouts can't answer for the time being, they pursued Ankang Mountain all the way, and they haven't had time to enter Taiyuan Mansion, and now Ankang Mountain has entered Taiyuan Mansion without resistance, and the original 30,000 guards have also surrendered to the enemy, and it is not so easy for them to enter Taiyuan Mansion to investigate.

It takes time to find out.

Wu Ya'er waved his hand to stop the discussion in the tent: "Why Taiyuan Mansion has surrendered to the enemy now and what happened is not important to us, the important thing is that our original plan has been nullified." ”

The men in the tent recovered from their shock and cursed.

They pursued Ankang Mountain all the way, and the battles between each other were shallow, firstly, their respective soldiers and horses were damaged, and secondly, there was no suitable fighter, when they saw Ankang Mountain coming to Taiyuan Mansion in Hedong Province, they were looking for the opportunity to come.

Although Hedong Province was turbulent, there was no large-scale conquest, and the city was high, and the soldiers, horses, and people were stable.

In particular, there are three famous surnames gathered in Taiyuan Prefecture.

"The daughter of Qi Mountain in the Southeast Province, the daughter of Li Feng'an in Jiannan Province, and the home of Xiang Yun of Longyou Province." Wang Li stretched out his hand and counted his fingers, "Which of these three surnames is famous in Daxia now, which one of them has soldiers and horses, although the family is not them, but it can't be too bad, right?" ”

"That's right, when we didn't get close to Taiyuan Mansion, we heard that the two eldest ladies here in Taiyuan Mansion were training soldiers, and immortals like Mrs. Chu went down to earth, and Taiyuan Mansion also took in countless homeless people." Another man crossed his waist and said, "No matter how you listen to it, it is a solid city, which can be fought and defended. ”

If Ankang Mountain wants to take this city, it will inevitably take a big battle, and when the time comes, they will be able to fight back and forth with the guards of Taiyuan Mansion, and this Taiyuan Mansion will be the place where Ankang Mountain is buried!

But now......

"I don't believe that these 30,000 guards, hundreds of thousands of people in Taiyuan Mansion have voted for that Ankang Mountain." Wang Li shouted, "We have chased all the way, we can't let go of Ankang Mountain like this, wait for me to lead the troops to a battle." ”

There was a shout in the camp, and they all wanted to fight with Ankang Mountain.

Wu Ya'er waved his hand again to interrupt everyone: "It's not that the battle can't be fought, it's just that this battle can't kill Ankang Mountain, and there is no need for this battle if you can't kill Ankang Mountain." ”

He stood up and led everyone out of the tent and looked in the direction of Taiyuan Mansion.

"Ankang Mountain now has Taiyuan Mansion, Hedong Road will also become his bag, he will get supplies immediately, recuperate and accumulate strength, now what we have to do is to return to Hebei Province, collect the entire northern land, and restore and enhance combat strength as soon as possible, so that we can fight with Ankang again."

This is a fact, there are no more fighters, you can be brave and not reckless, and everyone responded to the order to pull out the camp.

It's just so hateful, Wang Li gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of Taiyuan Mansion: "I really didn't expect it to be such a Taiyuan Mansion!" ”

Wu Ya'er also had some regrets: "People are not as good as heaven, and it is impossible for everything to be as we expected." ”

Wang Li looked at Wu Ya'er who turned around, and his eyes rolled: "Crow, we are here, why don't we go to the capital, the capital is closer to Taiyuan Mansion, and it is also suitable for recuperation, and I can give him a blow at any time when the time comes." ”

The most important thing is that the lady of Chu has not returned to the capital yet, if they take the first step, wouldn't it be hehe........

Wu Ya'er said: "The capital is not suitable, so I still go to Hebei Province to recuperate." ”

Wang Li snorted twice: "After recuperating and recuperating, you can better protect that woman's capital, right?" ”

"It's the capital that guards us." Wu Ya'er corrected, raised her head and laughed again, "The capital of Mrs. Chu is of course ours." ”

Wang Li looked at Wu Ya'er, who was laughing, and kicked him in the back.

"The capital of the Lady of Chu is yours? Let's say the opposite, I think it should be said that the capital belongs to Mrs. Chu, and you are also Mrs. Chu! ”

......

......

The news of the loss of Taiyuan Mansion soon reached Li Minglou's ears, Li Minglou was still on his way back to Beijing at this time, and the soldiers and horses running back and forth lacked energy, so he needed continuous rest and recuperation, and walked slowly.

She also found it incredulous.

The Taiyuan Mansion in the previous life was not lost, let alone surrendered without a fight.

"How is that possible?" She said, "Didn't you say that Wu Ya'er's army was still following behind to pursue Ankang Mountain? ”

For Taiyuan Mansion, this is the right time and place to fight, just like the previous life, Taiyuan Mansion held the city in the end because of the arrival of Wu Ya'er, and repelled the army of Ankang Mountain.

Fang Er said: "The news from the fourth master is that it was originally going to fight, but the wealthy family of the family was afraid of Ankang Mountain and ran away, messing up the hearts of the army and the people, and there was no one to fight, so the prefect surrendered with soldiers and horses." ”

The wealthy families, Li Minglou understood, when the Taiyuan Mansion was guarding the city in the previous life, the wealthy families also had to run.

She discussed with the government at that time, closed the city gate, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will, and persuaded these wealthy families that there was no way to survive if they ran, and there were soldiers and horses outside. Running out is to die, only stay in the city, as long as the city is not broken, everyone can live.

So these people all stayed, in order to protect their century-old family business, they worked together to defend the city, and finally insisted on until the army of Wu Ya'er came.

This time, it was because there was no oneself, so the government did not persuade these people in advance, and in the end they did not stay?

"I originally thought that Wudu Governor would have a chance to kill Ankang Mountain this time." Fang Er said regretfully, "I didn't expect Taiyuan Mansion to surrender to the enemy." ”

Li Minglou looked up at the sky, so this is because Ankang Mountain shouldn't have died at this time?

The sunlight was scorching suddenly, and Li Minglou's eyes under the black umbrella and black cloth stinged, and she almost screamed in pain, and hurriedly lowered her head.

"Miss is alright?" Fang Er sensed her discomfort, and hurriedly ripped off his cloak with one hand and covered Li Minglou's body, and pressed the black umbrella down with the other.

Walking in the wilderness of Hebei Road, Fang Er wrapped his head and face, not afraid of being recognized as his identity, and took over the umbrella.

Li Minglou closed his eyes and slowly calmed down, adjusted to the pain in his body, and said, "It's okay, let's go back to Beijing soon." ”

In her previous life, the capital was not recovered so early, don't have any accidents, she tightened her grip on the reins, even if her palms were tingling, she would not let go, in this life, as long as she held something, she would never let go.

Fang Er urged the horse, the capital is not far away, when you arrive in the capital, there are tall city houses to cover it, and you can alleviate the pain of the young lady walking under the blue sky and white sun!

Li Minglou, who was galloping, turned his head sideways and asked, "Four masters, did they leave Taiyuan Mansion and return to Jiannan Road or Shannan Road?" Did the people of the Xiang family go to Linzhou? ”

"The four masters, they are still with the people of the Xiang family, they don't seem to go to Linzhou." Fang Er said, "I'm going to Huainan Road to find Xiang Nan." ”

Li Minglou didn't care where the people of the Xiang family went, but what was unexpected was Li Fengjing and Li Mingqi: "You still have to be with the Xiang family?" ”

Originally, when Xiang Yun formed an alliance with Qi Shan and sent Miss Qi to Taiyuan Mansion, they refused to leave because they were fighting for Taiyuan Mansion, but now Taiyuan Mansion is gone, and they still have to be with the Xiang family.

"Miss, are you going to stop them?" Fang Er asked, "Both the Xuanwu Dao side and the Zhongqi side can go and pick them up." ”

Then escort them back to Jiannan Province or Shannan Province.

Li Minglou shook his head: "No, let's see what they want to do, it's okay to follow the Xiang family, at least it's safe." ”

Xiang's life is good, he will not be defeated or die now.

......

......

"Is this a good fate or a bad fate?"

In the Yali of Yangzhou City Road, Huainan Road, Chen Er stood by the window and sighed.

"I didn't expect Ankang Mountain to go to Taiyuan Mansion, but fortunately, there are two eldest ladies in your family who are guarded by soldiers and horses, and they escaped smoothly."

Otherwise, the first thing Ankang Mountain did when it entered the city would inevitably slaughter the Xiang clan.

"What's so unexpected?" Xiang Nandao, "Do you think, Ankang Mountain went out of Beijing, fought against Wu Ya'er, failed, you can't go to the north, you can't go back to the capital, of course, you can only go west, the nearest is Taiyuan Mansion." ”

Chen Er's sigh vanished, and he turned his head to stare at the white-clothed Xiang Nan who was lying on the beauty couch.

This beauty couch is exactly the same as the one in Mrs. Chu's residence, but it was not moved from Mrs. Chu's residence.

When he first came to Yangzhou City, Xiang Nan and his old acquaintance Song Observation made each other look at each other with tears in his eyes, and Xiang Nan sincerely asked everyone to clean up the house without being polite, he lived in the residence of Mrs. Chu Guo, and Song Observer, who couldn't wipe his tears, grabbed Xiang Nan and sent him into the courtyard on the other side, and Mrs. Chu Guo's residence did not allow them to set foot at all.

However, the officials of the Dao Ya did not disrespect Xiang Nan, and they tried their best to buy the things that Mrs. Chu Guo had.

What kind of bead curtain gauze tent beauty couch, flower burner incense white jade chess, Chen Er always felt that he was going to become a woman in it, Xiang Nan was like a fish in water.

"What are you doing lying down? Pick up your family. Chen Er said angrily, "Haven't you finished reading the letter yet?" What do you want? ”

Xiang Nan looked at the letter sent from home: "I'm wondering why Taiyuan Mansion has become like this. It was me who was wrong. ”

Chen Er was puzzled: "Your mistake is that you didn't tell your family in advance, tell Taiyuan Mansion, and be vigilant against Ankang Mountain?" ”

It's useless.

"The prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture took the initiative to surrender to the enemy, and he didn't fight."

Xiang Nan shook his head: "The reason why Taiyuan Mansion has become like this is that the prefect's defection to the enemy is not the main reason. ”

He lowered his head and looked at the letter, the letter was not only from the old lady, but also from his father and mother, as well as from Li Mingqi and Qi Acheng.

They asked the same question in the letter this time, they have done so much, why has Taiyuan Mansion become like this?

Because they're doing it wrong.

Chen Er was even more puzzled, those two eldest ladies had done well enough, but there was still a mistake? What's wrong?

Xiang Nandao: "The mistake is to hope for others. ”

What do you mean? Chen Er wanted to ask again, but Xiang Nan said again: "I was also wrong." ”

With that, he jumped up, the letters in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and he walked barefoot to the table and shouted: "Pen and ink are waiting!" ”

Chen Er rolled up his sleeves and walked to the table with the clanging armor and weapons he touched: "You don't need to write a letter, the family will take it and say it to your face......

Before he finished his words, he saw Xiang Nan pick up the pen and write down the words "Mrs. Chu .....".

"Ahh

Chen Er shouted, he was also wrong, when did it happen, the first person in Xiang Nan's heart was still her!
