Chapter Seventy-Eight: I Don't Know the Long Distance, I Don't Know the Near Front
Chen Er is only eighteen years old this year, he has been alive since he was born as an emperor, he has never experienced the death of the emperor, and he has never thought that the emperor will die.
The emperor should be immortal.
Chen Er looked at the paper falling on the ground, there were words written on the paper, he didn't know the words, but he had a flexible brain: "Could it be fake news?" The road to the capital is controlled by the rebels of Ankang Mountain, in case they deliberately deceive people in order to disturb the people's hearts. ”
Xiang Nan looked at this young man of the same age as himself, who had experienced the loss of his brother and mother in a short period of time, and his family was ruined, but he still had childlike expectations.
"This is news from Liucheng." He said.
Liucheng is the place they rescued before, and the location is convenient to connect the north and south, and they left a group of people there.
Since it was the news sent by his own people, it was true, Chen Er looked dazed, he followed Xiang Nan from Yanxian County to leave, and there was only one direction in his heart to go to the capital, now that the emperor is dead, there is no need to go to the capital, where is his future going?
Xiang Nan has already retracted his mind, looking at the letter fluttering on the ground, there is still a trace of dazedness, he killed out of the camp in Ankang Mountain, climbed out of the steep canyon, no matter how far he detoured, how many circles chased and intercepted, his direction was always towards the capital, the capital was suddenly no longer the direction, where should he go?
The footsteps were chaotic, and a few white-robed soldiers walked in, and they were a little puzzled when they saw one sitting and one standing in the courtyard, silent.
"It's all done, the villagers have packed up." They said, "We can go." ”
Xiang Nan raised his head: "Where to go?" ”
Several people glared: "Wangjun, didn't you already say it?" There are soldiers and horses over there, and there are strong walls, which will receive these villagers. ”
Xiang Nan rubbed his knees, yes, he looked outside the courtyard gate, there were villagers walking around, hearing the footsteps of mule carts, mixed with the barking of chickens and dogs.....
Their goal is to go to the capital beyond the blockage of the rebels in Ankang Mountain, many times they are looking for various paths, rarely passing through the town, and because there are few people, they can only pick up the rebels when they are alone to fight back and rescue, and gradually follow more and more people.
Now there are more than 1,000 people who can safely drive on the main road and escort people who ask for help to the nearest shelter.
As they passed through the village, they repelled a group of stragglers who did not know whether the bandits or the rebels were scattered, and the villagers begged to be taken to Wangjun.
Wangjun is the largest city in this area, and the county guards are on guard against the rebels in Ankang Mountain to take in refugees, and they can also pass by by road.
It's getting more and more dangerous here, so it's safer to leave the city early.
I didn't know how to walk the road ahead in the distance, but the road ahead in front of me was very clear, Xiang Nan stood up: "Let's go." ”
On the red and willow-green earth, the white-robed soldiers and horses galloping in front of the tall city are particularly conspicuous.
The men and horses stopped at the gates and circled and called for the gates, but the gates were closed.
"A certain Xuanwu Dao Xiang Nan." Xiang Nan raised his voice to look at the city wall, "There is an urgent report to enter Beijing, borrow the road." ”
There are generals on the city wall to look at it.
"We're too far away from Xuanwu Dao to know who's who." He said politely.
"We will all be the Xiang clan of Taiyuan Mansion." Chen Er shouted angrily, although he didn't know what the Xiang family was, but Taiyuan Mansion was a very big place, and those who were commensurate with their surnames in that place must be big people.
Wangjun is still too small and remote, and the generals on the city wall are lonely and unheard, pouting: "Taiyuan Mansion is farther away." ”
Xiang Nan was silent, turned his horse's head and pointed to a group of villagers who followed behind him: "These are the people nearby, you can take them in." ”
He stopped talking about entering the city, and ordered everyone to leave.
The generals on the city wall were still unmoved, and the rebels in Ankang Mountain were most accustomed to using the threats of the people to deceive and seize the city.....
Kindness is not for good, and it is likely to kill the people of a city, especially at such a dangerous time.
"My lord, I seem to have heard of this Xiang Nan's name." A lieutenant general suddenly said, thinking about it, thinking about it, and suddenly, "Jiannan Dao!" ”
Hearing the three words of Jiannan Dao, the general also suddenly thought of it, and grabbed the city wall to look at the white-robed young general: "Xiang Nan is the Xiang Nan of the son-in-law of Li Feng'an and Li Dadu Governor of Jiannan Dao?" ”
Xiang Nan tightened the reins and didn't look back, as if he didn't hear the horse leaving, but the city gate opened.
"Items will be, items will be." The general didn't wait for an answer and rushed out with a group of officers and soldiers, "It turned out to be you, look up for a long time." ”
Chen Er stretched out his hand and scratched his head, he was a countryman and didn't know much about the place, but .....
"Jiannan Dao is farther away than Xuanwu Dao and Taiyuan Mansion, right?" He was puzzled, "How do you know who this is?" ”
......
......
The villagers entered the city, and Xiang Nan and others were also invited into the city, although Xiang Nan did not leave the horse, he still refused to enter the city.
"We have important things to do, and it's inconvenient to stay, so please give us some dry food and weapons." Xiang Nan said.
The general of Wangjun thought that he was angry, pulled his arm and sighed: "Xiang General, it's not that I am careful, it is really dangerous, just in Shicai, Fan Yang soldiers came from the camel ridge, there are more than 2,000 people." ”
He stretched out his hand and pointed in one direction, and in the bright sunlight he could see that there were mountains there, faintly like the undulations of a hump.
More than 2,000 people, then this is a regular army, not the previous rangers, Xiang Nan waved his spear: "Go to the battle." ”
The general was taken aback, what he said didn't mean to fight, right?
"Xiang Jun, that's Fan Yangbing." He said again.
"Fan Yangbing is the rebels, and they are the ones who are fighting." Xiangnan Road.
This young man looks handsome, how can he talk with the donkey's lips and the horse's mouth? The general pressed his arm: "There are more than 2,000 of them. He also took the initiative to say, "We need soldiers and horses to defend the city, and we can't use it easily." ”
Xiang Nan smiled: "No need, it's enough for us people." ”
The generals swept through the city gates, all white-robed and lightly armored soldiers, there were only a thousand people, how could it be enough?
"You said that they just appeared here, and there weren't so many Fan Yang soldiers here before, so they must have come from afar." Xiang Nan explained to him, and also to the soldiers, "Their team has not yet rested, they are tired, and we are taking it by surprise when we attack at this time." ”
Xiang Nan stroked the bow and crossbow on his back and broke free of the general's hand.
"Wait for them to rest for the night, that's the real danger, even if you and my soldiers and horses together may not be able to win."
After saying no more, he held a spear at his side, urging the horse to the camel ridge.
"Kill!"
He took the lead, Chen Er followed, and the other white-robed soldiers did not hesitate, and they all held guns and swords to urge the horses.
"Kill!"
With the high drinking, the dust and smoke rolled away, and when the generals came back to their senses, the white-robed soldiers and horses in front of the city gate were gone.
If it weren't for the fact that he looked back and saw the newly arrived refugees with their families and their dogs, the generals would still think they were dreaming.
"The son-in-law of Li Dudu of Jiannan Province is really very human." He looked in the direction of the white-robed soldiers and horses and sighed.
