Chapter 45: Sijun is not afraid of difficult walks
When Liu Fan and others entered the border of Linzhou, Zhang An and Wang Lin brought 10,000 soldiers and horses to greet them.
After the recovery of the capital, Linzhou soon received the news, that day the emperor was full of crying, and the emperor climbed to the highest mountain outside Linzhou barefoot, facing the direction of the capital to worship the ancestors and ancestors.
Tens of thousands of people inside and outside Linzhou followed, first the cry shook the sky, and then said that it was a happy event to celebrate, sang and danced, and the people who took the lead in the capital escaped, they said that they sang and danced all the works made by the emperor, so everyone followed and learned, and then the merchants began to put up lanterns, held various celebrations, fireworks bloomed day and night, and the families donated stacks of rice grain, Linzhou was full of porridge sheds, and anyone ate and drank at will.......
The celebration did not last long, and the news came that Taiyuan Mansion had surrendered to the enemy and Ankang Mountain had captured Hedong Road.
An Shouzhong transferred troops and horses to support Ankang Mountain, An Dezhong's army strengthened the attack on Linzhou, and the soldiers and horses of the father and son condensed and cut off Linzhou and the capital, like an arrow aimed at Linzhou.
The rebels lost the capital, and they are bound to take another capital, Linzhou.
Laughter, singing and dancing disappeared, the colorful shed floats were scattered, the porridge shed was unattended, every household was closed, and countless people outside Linzhou City fled.....
Li Mingyu, the governor of Jiannan Province, and Xiang Yun, who was recuperating from his wounds, also came out, dispatched troops to repel the Andezhong rebels who were surrounded outside Linzhou, and set up three lines of defense in Linzhou, and the military reported three times a day, conveying the movements of the rebels in Hedong Province and pacifying the people.
The news that the family of the capital and the lady of Chu came to Linzhou also came, bringing expectations to the panicked Linzhou.
I have been looking forward to it for a month, and this group has arrived.
"You're finally here." Zhang An and Wang Lin stepped forward together, first excited, and then startled by the embarrassment of the team, "Why so..."
There were more than 3,000 men and horses, but almost all of them were wounded.
As for the people who accompanied them, in addition to the wounded and sick, there were also coffins......
In the face of the ushered soldiers and horses, everyone has a lot to say, but they don't have the strength to say it, and a thousand words are turned into one sentence, "It's too difficult to go this way." ”
There are many rebels and bandits, and you know how difficult the road is.
Zhang An Wang Lin blamed himself in annoyance: "It's all because the news is cut off, if we knew earlier, we will bring more soldiers and horses to meet you." ”
The people from the capital looked at the military camp stationed in the distance behind them, which seemed to have been stationed for a long time......
"Let's not talk about that." Zhang An Wang Lin sent out an invitation, "Come into the camp and rest, the food and meat, hot water, and warm bedding are all ready." ”
Zhang An Wang Lin did not deceive people at this point, a group of people entered the camp, lived in the prepared and complete camp tents, and the horses were taken away to feed the beans and wash.
The old men of the clan drank the hot soup to relieve their fatigue and prepared to wash, Zhang An Wang Lin also prepared new clothes, hats, shoes and socks, but Jiang secretly came in to stop them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think it's better for us to keep this way to see Your Majesty."
Such? Gentlemen in the mirror...... Zhang An and Wang Lin also prepared mirrors, except for refusing to go out to meet them, these two people were very thoughtful about other things..... It was also the first time in so many days that they had seen themselves clearly, more like homeless people than the homeless people they saw on the road.
How can you see the face of heaven like this? Isn't that disrespectful?
"That's what we really are." Jiang said darkly, "We came to Linzhou, and we came to see Your Majesty to let Your Majesty see our sincerity, and see what we have suffered without Your Majesty in the capital." What do we show Your Majesty in a glamorous way? And Your Majesty is very bitter in Linzhou....."
The old men who were able to come here were not stupid, and immediately understood what he meant.
It is not easy for His Majesty to see them, and his heart will remember their merits even more.
And His Majesty has suffered a hard time, but they are dressed up brightly, what are they here for? To show off?
They must have a harder life than Your Majesty! Even more embarrassing!
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for reminding me." They held Jiang Yan's hand and were very grateful, not only for his reminder this time, but also for taking care of him along the way.
This Jiang Dian is the housekeeper of Mrs. Chu Guo, and his surname is Jiang, which is completely different from that Jiang Liang, he is much younger and better-looking, this is like Mrs. Chu's person.
The most important thing is that he is not like the self-proclaimed scholar Lao Jiang, who is doing obscene things of abduction and deception, they can go out of Beijing in this trip, I don't know how much money they gave Jiang Liang, when they heard that there was a housekeeper in this trip who was also surnamed Jiang, the belongings placed close to his body were trembling......
But this Jiang Dian didn't ask for a penny from them, he took care of them with grain and grass all the way, the food was not enough to eat, he was hungry himself, he took the soldiers and horses to look around, and spent money to buy food, someone was sick, he looked for medical treatment, and some people died, and he cried more sadly than the man's sons, nephews, and servants.
Of course, they also know very well about Jiang Yan's approach that Mrs. Chu is greedy for money, but she always has to make friends with the family.
That Jiang Liang is a doorman, representing himself, and in the future, if he provokes the anger of the public (almost collecting money for Mrs. Chu Guo), he will be convicted according to the law, and Mrs. Chu Guo will come out to cry and cry without knowing it, and this Jiang Dian is a servant, and what he does can represent the master, and when the time comes, the family members can come out to testify that Mrs. Chu is kind and kind......
No matter what, this Jiang Dian is bent on being good to them, and his purpose is very credible, just to be good to Mrs. Chu Guo, so that's good.
Jiang Yan didn't say this to everyone, and said modestly: "It's just his own idea, as for how to do it, it's up to the old man to make his own decisions." ”
After saying that, he retreated, leaving the old men to discuss by themselves.
The result of the discussion came out not long after, everyone only drank a bowl of hot soup, not only did not wash and change clothes, but also did not rest, and immediately went to Linzhou City.
Zhang An and Wang Lin were very surprised and repeatedly persuaded him, but it was useless.
"Your Majesty is close at hand, and we can't wait for a moment."
"I'm going to die, and I'm going to die in Linzhou City."
They cried and shouted as they climbed into their horses and got into the car, looking like they were going to die here if they weren't allowed to go.
Liu Fan had eaten in the camp tent and was changing out of his dirty clothes to freshen up, when he heard the commotion outside and asked Jiang Dian what was going on.
Jiang Yan sat in the corner and ate Liu Fan's leftover meals, shook his head and said he didn't know: "I haven't taken care of going out to see yet." But unceremoniously judged: "These old men are not easy to serve." ”
How did Jiang Dian be assigned by the lords of the clan to make things difficult along the way, Liu Fan saw it clearly, these old men are indeed not easy to serve, the capital has not experienced war in the final analysis, after the thieves entered the capital, these people gave their gold and silver treasures to Shun and were not mistreated, they did not suffer.
People who have not suffered will not be considerate of others.
Of course, Liu Fan understood Jiang Dark, went out to see it himself, and after listening to the old man's words, he knew their thoughts, just a few small things are not worth embarrassing.
"Since you don't want to rest, you won't rest." "I've already made the trek, and I don't care about trekking for two more days." ”
Seeing that they didn't appreciate it and were no longer polite, Zhang An Wang Lin immediately ordered the camp to escort them, and they had long wanted to go back.
The group ran towards Linzhou City in the twilight.
After two days of trekking day and night, in the early morning of the third day, I finally saw the city gate of Linzhou.
After they entered the territory of Linzhou, there were many people watching and following along the way, standing on the city gate at this time, the crowd was rolling like a cloud, and there was a sea of people outside the city gate.
Zhang An Wang Lin wanted to take the army to accept the crowd's onlookers and cheers, but as soon as he approached Linzhou City, he was snatched away by Hu Aqi, he broke in with a group of soldiers and horses, first knelt down and shouted Mrs. Chu, and then hugged the soldiers who escorted the old men in the capital.
"I've finally seen you."
"Oh my God, brother, I thought we would never see each other again."
They cried and laughed and beat their chests like long-lost brothers, even though none of them seemed to know anyone.
"We are brothers." Hu Aqi shouted, holding the banner of the Zhenwu Army in his hand, "We are all Zhenwu Army." ”
Mrs. Chu and Wudu Governor are husband and wife, and their soldiers and horses are naturally a family, and Hu Aqi's duty in the army is to guard the city gate, without their permission, the army really cannot enter the city.
They took over these people with confidence, and when they approached the gate of Linzhou, they blocked the road, and only let Liu Fan and the others move forward.
Liu Fan straightened his clothes, although he didn't wash and rest, he still changed into clean clothes, wiped his hair and tied it neatly, after all, he was a face saint.
But others are not so particular, and some even tear their already dirty clothes even more, some people pretend that they can't walk and fall and roll in the mud, and some people lose their shoes......
The people guarding outside the gate of Linzhou City saw a group of beggars coming, they were barefoot, their hair was unkempt, some injured their arms, some coughed while walking, coughing like shrimps, and some were holding spirit cards.....
The crowd, who were supposed to cheer, fell silent, lest they shout out to death the living.
But shouts rang out from the streets.
"But Mrs. Guo from Mashi Street?"
"Ah, that's Old Lady Wu from Beiqiaotou!"
"Uncle Condition! Uncle Condition! I'm from your Zhuangzi, sir, I didn't expect me to see you again. ”
At the beginning, many people fled from the capital, and it is not surprising that they know these clans in the capital.
Some shouted in surprise, some shouted with joy, and some cried with grief, although the people did not know who these old men were...... The beggars are all the same, and their faces can't be seen clearly, but these famous family stories are still lively to hear.
The old men who were crying and coughing did not respond, nor did they look at whether these people who called out their names were old acquaintances, and it didn't matter if they were old acquaintances, this matter was what they arranged for people to do.
Along the way, before they met the emperor, their fame had spread all over the world.
They were eager to crawl on the ground more slowly and let their family's reputation spread more widely, but seeing His Majesty's heavy responsibility still brought them back to their senses, and they followed Liu Fan step by step, looking slow or quickly entering the city.
The old man entered the city, and then there were soldiers, who were better than the previous ones, at least not to the point of dying, but still like beggars.
Their robes were tattered, with blood stains on their bodies, and there were also blood stains on their weapons, not at all mighty, a little embarrassed, a little rustic, and the onlookers still shouted "Heroes!" "These are the heroes who regained the capital." "This is a hero who came from the capital to overcome obstacles."
There were also people who cried out in grief and indignation: "There were 10,000 people, but now they are the only ones who have survived." ”
.....
.....
Hu Aqi looked at a loyal and honest man standing beside him: "When you set off, there were really 10,000 people?" ”
Hu Aqi didn't know Jiang Di, but he knew him immediately when he saw his smiling face...... It's exactly the same as that Jiang Ming.,At first glance, it's a bad guy.。
Jiang smiled honestly: "Of course not." He sighed again, "Madame is understaffed, and she can only find three thousand." ”
It's strange to believe you, Hu Aqi sneered, did he want to cry and deceive his soldiers and horses?
Jiang smiled darkly, approached him and lowered his voice: "Isn't this to let everyone know that Madame attaches great importance to Linzhou, and 10,000 soldiers and horses will open the way." ”
It sounds like it, but ...... Hu Aqi looked at the surname Jiang, and then looked at the people watching around, and always felt that Mrs. Chu Guo's attention to Linzhou was not felt by everyone, but was frightened.
10,000 soldiers and horses, the brave soldiers who can recover the capital, escorting these people from the capital to Linzhou, there are more than 3,000 left, and some of the old men have become spirit cards, and the living ones look like they are going to die.....
This journey is more difficult than recovering the capital?!
Can you still walk this way? 2k reading web
