Chapter 395: War is about to start
It's the middle of September, and the weather is getting extremely cold. Although it has not snowed yet www.biquge.info the sky is always overcast, and the north wind blows, making people feel as if they have been blown by a knife.
According to the report of the Ming army's spies in the north, the Tatar army has been preparing food and grass and gathering troops, and it will soon be on the border. The guards in all parts of the border were on urgent alert, and the cabinets received them like snowflakes, and the general soldiers everywhere were begging for money and food.
However, the elders of the cabinet did not bother to care about these things, because a bigger thing happened, that is, the emperor ran away. A few days ago, the emperor secretly left the capital, only taking Jiang Bin, Zhang Yong and a few others, and according to the report of Wang Xun, the chief soldier of Datong, the emperor ran to Shanxi.
This almost didn't make the elders angry, but now that the Tatar invasion is imminent, and the emperor has even gone to the border pass, isn't this looking for his own death? It has only been 70 years since the Tumubao Change, and if another emperor is taken away by the barbarians, the face of the Ming Dynasty will be lost.
Just as they were about to urgently send troops to Shanxi, the Tatar army had already set out, and the goal was Datong. Obviously, they also knew the news of the Ming Emperor's place.
However, all these things had little to do with Fang Hong. He still stayed in Taiyuan Mansion, drinking tea, practicing boxing and reading every day, listening to the merchants outside talk about how urgent the war was.
"Fang Hong, do you want your martial arts to improve?" On this day, Yang Jingye suddenly found him and said something like this.
Fang Hong was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what he meant. No matter what kind of martial arts it is, the fundamental purpose is to fight. Only after fighting and fighting can we break through the bottleneck and make progress.
As early as when he was in Jiangxi, Fang Hong sensed that his martial arts had fallen into a dead end. At that time, Yang Jingye told him that if he wanted to break through, he had to go to the battlefield to fight, and now that he was in Tatar, a big war would inevitably break out between the two sides, and if Fang Hong was involved, there might be a chance to break through.
"Okay!" Fang Hong agreed without the slightest hesitation. He will not let go of any opportunity to increase his own strength, although the power obtained by Shinto is strong, but there are too many drawbacks, and only by making the physical body stronger together is the right way.
"In that case, we'll go out tonight. A smile appeared on Yang Jingye's face, the blood and qi in his body were tumbling like a tide, and the momentum of the whole person became fierce. The concept of the serpentine totem that he learned from Fang Hong was condensed and his strength had risen greatly, but he hadn't had a few chances to make a move, and this battle also made him have a fighting spirit.
At night, Yang Jingye led three fierce horses and came out of a forest outside Taiyuan City. By his side, he was following Bodie.
Although Bodi's body looked stronger and younger, he wore far more clothes than Yang Jingye, not only wearing a fur cape, but also a thick leather jacket. However, despite this, his face could not hide his excitement.
He has been hiding in the Lin family for so many days, and he has to help do some rough work every day, how can he stand this. If it weren't for his awe of Fang Hong, he would have quit a long time ago.
Today, Yang Jingye said that he would take him out, not to mention how happy he was.
The two waited for a while at the edge of the woods, and a figure came from a distance. The moon was dim tonight, and I couldn't see the figure of the man clearly, and it felt like a ghost.
"I've been waiting. When he got closer, he realized that it was Fang Hong. He held a yellow skin in his arms and a fox fur cloak on his body, and stood calmly in place.
"You didn't have to wait long, you're in place, right?" Yang Jingye handed the reins of a fierce horse to Fang Hong, and asked in his mouth.
"No, the wai man didn't agree with me leaving, but I left a note, and I'll ask for guilt when I get back. Fang Hong smiled bitterly, in the eyes of the Lin family, he was just an ordinary person who was powerless, and now that he was in chaos, where would he agree to his request.
Yang Jingye also smiled, the old man felt sorry for his grandson, this is also human nature. However, if Lin Jingyuan knew that Fang Hong was going to the battlefield, he would have to chase him back if he left a note.
The two talked for a while, and Fang Hong set his eyes on Bodi. "What are you doing with him? "Although Bodi has learned the art of arching horses since he was a child, he has not been taken seriously by Fang Hong, if he is on the battlefield, it is easy to be dangerous.
"A few days ago, I saw that the boy was diligent, so I took him as an apprentice, and this time I took him there to see the scene. Yang Jingye turned over and got on the horse, shook the reins, and replied casually.
Hearing him say this, Fang Hong noticed that Bodi's footsteps were steady, his breath was long, and he really practiced some kung fu. It seems that this kid can also be regarded as a material for martial arts training, and in such a short period of time, he already has a good appearance.
"Congratulations. Fang Hong complimented Yang Jingye, he knew that Yang Jingye had no concept of family and country, although Bodi was of a different race, he still accepted him as a disciple.
The three mounted their horses and headed northeast. They were going to Datong this time, because according to the news from above, the target of the Tatars this time was Datong.
Taiyuan and Datong are adjacent to each other, however, Datong is closer to the border than Taiyuan, and in the territory of Datong, the number of garrisons is extremely large, with nearly 100,000 people.
They walked for several days and finally arrived at Datong. As soon as you enter this place, a desolate and tragic atmosphere rushes into your face. During the journey, from time to time, some soldiers from the guard post could be seen hurrying on the official road.
The environment here is still very bad, there are few people, and most of them are military households. Many prisoners will also be exiled here, so there are all kinds of instability here.
Caravans will hardly enter or leave this place, because it is so dangerous that you have to worry not only about robbers in the way, but also soldiers in various guards. These soldiers are all soldiers, plus they have seen blood all year round, and their personalities are relatively tough, if they are eyeing you, you can basically prepare for the future.
"In front of us is Yingzhou City, where we will rest at night. "Yingzhou is a county seat, the place is not big, but the city wall is extremely high. In the border cities, this is mostly the case.
Seeing that it was already a little late, Fang Hong nodded, but when they entered the city, they had a little trouble.
"You guys, lead the way!" As soon as they reached the gate of the city, several soldiers surrounded them and watched them with great vigilance.
Now that the war is about to break out, Yingzhou is located at the border, and martial law must be imposed.
Thank you for the meow of the fan sister's stupid meow for the reward, touch the big, thank you
