Chapter 37 Yanzhou
Qingzhou watched Wan Zi'an leave her yard, she turned around, her eyes fell on the pair of cotton boots, she sat down silently, picked up the cotton boots, and then sewed them, just hoping that before she returned to Beijing, she could make this pair of cotton boots for Wan Chongshan.
The next day, the first snow fell in Yanzhou after the beginning of winter.
With this snow falling into Yanzhou, it was the news that the emperor of Liao and the Han of the Northern Eagle Kingdom joined forces and led a large army towards Yanzhou.
Yanzhou is an important frontier town, many years of war, before every winter, the Liao people in the north often come to Yanzhou to make trouble, disturb the border people are not happy, even if Qingzhou grew up in Beijing, but also know that Liao and Beiying are located in the desert and grassland, food is scarce, and the rich Central Plains has been longing for a long time.
In the third year of Changde, the Liao general Ye Luming once led an army of 100,000 troops to the south, the defenders of Yanzhou could not resist, let the Liao iron cavalry burn and plunder all the way, approaching the Central Plains from the north, the ministers of the court were helpless, the young king was overwhelmed, and boldly used the young general from the common people, and ordered him to lead 60,000 elite soldiers to the border to resist the enemy.
That battle, enough to make the mountains and rivers discolored, the young general ordered strictly, took the lead, led the army deep into the enemy's territory, won more with less, not only captured the Liao general Ye Luming, but also captured the Liao people tens of thousands of fine war horses, drove the Liao people back to the grassland, it was spring, the young general ordered, ordered people to burn the Liao grassland, only starved the enemy country countless cattle, sheep and horses, so that the Liao country collapsed, and did not dare to attack for several years.
The good news was transmitted back to Beijing, and the emperor Longyan Dayue made an exception in the Beijing division to give the general's mansion, and Jin named him the general of Zhenyuan, took over the frontier, and stationed in Yanzhou.
That year, Wan Chongshan was only twenty-six years old, since he took over Yanzhou, the Wanjia army was strictly disciplined, a total of more than 100 times to repel the Hu people's large and small invasions, each time, Wan Chongshan was personally in battle, every battle, is a horse in the lead, with the soldiers to live and die together, deterring the surrounding countries.
Now, after a few years of recuperation and recuperation, relying on the soldiers' excellent riding skills, the people are fierce, this time and the North Eagle people joined forces, hundreds of thousands of troops to Yanzhou raid the territory, the strength is especially better than Changde for three years, seeing that a big war is imminent, only let the people in Yanzhou City panic, even if there are ten thousand mountains, can think of the Hu people iron horse, but no one is afraid, the disparity between the enemy and our military strength is even more impetuous, not long after the news came, some people in Yanzhou City have quietly packed up the soft, planning to go to the Central Plains for refuge.
When Wan Zi'an heard hundreds of thousands of Hu people riding iron, his face also changed, and he was about to leave Yanzhou without waiting for his luggage to be packed.
"People in Yanzhou City are panicking now, we are my uncle's relatives, where can we go?" When Wan Zi'an came to find him, Qingzhou looked at the man in front of him, although he knew that Wan Zi'an would not listen to what he said, he still opened his mouth to persuade.
The people of Yanzhou know that Wan Zi'an is Wan Chongshan's nephew, if this stall and their husband and wife leave Yanzhou, the people of Yanzhou will inevitably be even more panicked, if the people are in chaos, how will this battle be fought?
"You know what? The Liao cavalry is already brave, and with the help of the Northern Eagle people, the entire Yanzhou City is only 30,000 defenders, can you resist it? ! ”
"The imperial court will send reinforcements....."
"Don't dream," Wan Zi'an sneered, "If you want to live, hurry back to Beijing with me, and if you delay it any longer, when the snow is heavy, no one will want to leave." ”
The light boat did not move.
"You're not leaving?" Wan Zi'an frowned.
Qingzhou's eyes were as bright as water, she didn't speak, only shook her head at Wan Zi'an.
Wan Zi'an's eyes were cold, and he commanded with the servants behind him; "Wait for the young lady to get in the car!"
Hearing this, a servant suddenly stepped forward and wanted to escort Qingzhou into the carriage, but Qingzhou struggled with all his might, "I'm not leaving, you let go of me!" ”
"Chen Qingzhou, do you want to die if you stay?" Seeing this, Wan Zi'an's anger became more and more surging, and he couldn't help but shout.
Qingzhou looked at him, her eyes were clear, clear as autumn water, and Wan Zi'an said word by word: "Uncle will guard Yanzhou." ”
When Wan Zi'an heard this, he sneered, "Okay, you want to die with him, and I will fulfill you." ”
Wan Zi'an put down this sentence, and got into the carriage alone, he didn't look at Qingzhou again, remembered Wanzhong Mountain, which was on the front line, and didn't have any concern, just gave an order, and ordered the convoy to drive out of the general's mansion.
Qingzhou looked at Wan Zi'an's carriage that was gradually moving away, only to feel that his heart was slowly cooling, the enemy was at present, Wan Chongshan and the soldiers were fighting the front line to protect the family and defend the country, but her husband, not only did not help his uncle, but he was unwilling to stay in Yanzhou with her, he left his wife and uncle, and left the general's mansion and Yanzhou like that.
