Chapter 241: Drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle

When the sky was bright, the horse finally rushed to Yecheng, all the way to Yecheng, Ling Xin pursed his lips and was silent, I don't know if it was because Pei Qiniang's death made him unable to let go, or because there were few people in the village all the way that made him sad in his heart.

The people of Dazhao all regard him as the god of war, and his Ling family has guarded Dazhao for generations, but with a willow eyebrows, she actually let herself capsize the boat three times and twice.

The war dragged on, and the most bitter was the common people, the wheat seedlings in the spring were trampled by the horses' hooves, the houses collapsed, the men directly caught the strong men, and the women were the rewards of the victors.

After so many years of fighting, he knows the suffering, but he knows that it is one thing, and what he sees with his own eyes is another.

After entering Yecheng, he immediately went to visit General Ding.

Yecheng is not a military stronghold than Jiangcheng, the city wall is low and simple, and the old general Ding cannot be found, it turns out that he is leading people to build the city wall.

He leaned against the wall on crutches, and the rising morning sun shone on his old face.

"Old general. ”

Ling Xin shouted, General Ding turned his head, his eyes rolled violently, and the old tears of surprise were rampant, and he didn't even want the crutches in his hand, and only ran in the direction of Ling Xin.

Ling Xin hurriedly walked a few steps quickly and supported his body, "The old general has suffered, the first battle in Jiangzhou, the responsibility lies with me, I am called writing a military report back to Beijing, the old general is taking good care of his body, leave it all to me here." ”

Old General Ding nodded excitedly, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "It's good that Master Hou can come back, with Master Hou here, Jiangzhou will take it back sooner or later." ”

He didn't even ask about the cause and effect of Ling Xin's disappearance, he firmly believed that as long as there was him, Jiangzhou would come back sooner or later.

"I will definitely live up to the trust of the old general. ”

On the low tower of the city, he looked ahead, where many people had been displaced and many villages had been slaughtered, and they were all the people of the Jokhang.

"Collect arrows, stones, and tung oil from the city. ”

He turned around and commanded Chang Shan.

"Yes. ”

The defenders of Yecheng have long been unworthy of the name, but thousands of old and weak soldiers, and the defenders have learned that Jiangzhou has been broken and the whole family has run away overnight, and General Ding Lao is in charge, letting Wang Sui continue to guard Yecheng.

Losing Jiangzhou is already a capital crime, but if you can defend Yecheng, or recover Jiangzhou through Yasukuni, I am afraid that it will still be a credit.

Wang Sui worked harder and harder, although he was injured, he didn't take it seriously at all, and pointed to the map in front of him to show Ling Xin.

"Now that the Beiyan people are standing in Jiangzhou, the next step is ours here, and the terrain of Yecheng is flat......"

He was about to ramble on and on, but Ling Xin interrupted him.

"How many of us are left?"

"Less than 50,000 people. ”

"The Northern Yan people are brave and good at fighting, on the day of the city break in Jiangzhou, the guards at the gate of the city all cut their throats with sharp blades, dozens of masters slashed our people on the city wall, General Chang led people to fight, but unfortunately Jiangzhou was still lost, those masters were really very skilled, the city wall was in chaos, and the other party took advantage of the chaos to attack it. ”

"Come with me to the army. ”

The morning sun is rising, the spring forest is in full bloom, the spring breeze is ten miles, this is an inexhaustible hope, Liu Rumei used her own people to stir up Jiangzhou into chaos, which gave the Beiyan people an opportunity to take advantage of, and now she is seriously injured, and she can't be a demon for the time being, taking advantage of this time to recover Jiangzhou is the best choice.

What's more, Beiyan is also his old friend who led the troops this time, he has fought with his father for half his life, and he has been defeated by his father several times.

The arrow in his hand broke, and he suddenly had countless courage and confidence.

In the eldest princess's mansion, Han Rui has to go to the palace every day, and she is afraid that she will miss the slightest bit of information in the military report in the north, even if the queen mother sends the latest news to the princess's mansion every time, she still has to run once a day.

The Queen Mother comforted her disappointed eyebrows: "Jiangzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it takes time for the flying pigeon to pass on the message, and sometimes no news is the best news." ”

Han Rui nodded: "The terrain of Yecheng is flat, if it is lost again, I am afraid that the capital will be dangerous, and the queen mother must prepare early." ”

She didn't take her eyes off the map in her hand.

Although she is not good at arranging troops, she also knows that Jiangzhou will lose the guarantee of the capital.

For today's plan, only the people of Changshan have found Ling Xin earlier, and only by finding him can Yecheng be stable, and maybe Jiangzhou will be able to come back.

She is now very much looking forward to the news from the north, especially his news, if the north is stable, the capital will be safe.

The Queen Mother frowned, and looked around her palace with infinite pity, "The mourning family has lived in this palace for decades, what can I do to prepare, if it really comes to that day......"

She opened her mouth with difficulty, it was difficult to say, but if the country broke and the blood flowed like a river, the scene would make her tremble just by closing her eyes and thinking about it.

"Queen Mother, it's the son's fault, the capital still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Xishan battalion, it will be fine, but the capital has to prepare early. ”

The Marquis of Huaiyin is about to move, if he rebels with the King of Han, wouldn't it be even worse?

"You mean the King of Han?"

The Queen Mother rubbed her eyebrows, the war in the north was uneven, and the undercurrents in the court were surging, and she was really tired of coping.

But the emperor is still young, and she has to guard the country for him.

"The King of Han can be punished, and more than 100 people in the Yasukuni Houfu Mansion are related to the Marquis of Huaiyin, these two people colluded in private, what if they rebelled?"

King Han has been traveling all over the world, and he wants to get to know a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, if these people in the rivers and lakes make trouble, those people in the camp in Xishan may not be able to resist.

"The Marquis of Huaiyin is really bold, the mourning family spared his life, and he dared to make trouble in the capital. ”

Anger slowly appeared on the Queen Mother's graceful face.

"Okay! I really don't take Jokhang seriously. ”

"Someone, Xuan Zhao Ning Xiang father and son. ”

Autumn leaves took the order and left.

"What does the Queen Mother want?"

Han Rui respectfully offered a cup of ginseng tea, of course she wanted to know what the Queen Mother planned to do with these two people.

Compared with the Queen Mother, her political skills are not mature enough.

The Queen Mother's eyebrows rose sharply, "Don't they want to rebel? ”

This is the best way to draw salary.

"The Queen Mother is wise. ”

Han Rui took a step back and bowed deeply.

"The first emperor went early, and the mourning family had to protect this country even if it was unscrupulous, until the emperor was in power. ”

There was a deep weariness and deep sadness on her face.

Concubine Shu and Yan Ning abolished the crown prince and the king of Qi rebelled one after another, which made her really exhausted, and her son's throne shook and fell again and again.

If she is not careful, the country will overturn, and the burden on her shoulders is too heavy.

"The queen mother has worked hard, and the son has not been able to share your worries, so the son will go to the dining room to make a dessert for the queen mother. ”

The Queen Mother smiled, "The mourning family is waiting." ”

There were all the materials in the imperial dining room, Han Rui was just watching from the side, and the director of the dining room personally cooked a dish of autumn pear paste.

It was estimated that the Queen Mother was almost there, so she went over with the autumn pear paste.
