Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 160: Grain and Grass (5)

After dividing the prisoners, Ling Jingyang estimated that the whole army was in Heishiling for one day, and it was another day in Yimaling, and the grain and grass brought to eat were seventy-seven, eighty-eight, anyway, so much grain was captured, and he ordered to eat the grain and grass of the rebels in Yimaling.

As for Niu Guangtian, he was kicked away and told him to roll back to Datong City, Niu Guangtian thought he had heard it wrong, Ling Jingyang didn't kill him, and gave him a pack horse and ten days of dry food.

He led the pack horse to Datong City, Li Daoli felt that Ling Jingyang had a bodhisattva heart, but Ling Jingyang shrugged his shoulders with Li Daoli.

"This person is a man, and we may become friends in the future."

Li Daoli rested for half a day in Yimaling, and in the evening of the same day, he led the troops to Wei County, and Li Guo gave him the task of setting off for Yanmen Pass, Li Daoli's department served as the right wing of the rear battalion, and he had to rush back to Wei County to prepare for the army to march.

He waved goodbye to Ling Jingyang.

"Listen to Jingyang, see you at Yanmen."

Ling Jingyang also waved his hand, and the two were temporarily separated, and Ling Jingyang led the troops to rest in Yima Ridge.

......

In Wei County, Li Guo received information from Dong Daqi, saying that Ling Jingyang was fighting fiercely with the rebels in Heishiling and asked for rapid reinforcements.

Li Guo ordered 5,000 soldiers, ready to support Ling Jingyang, less than ten miles away from Wei County, Leng Rutie rushed back with his troops, and told him that General Ling defeated the rebels in Yimaling, captured 3,000 stone grain, and when the battalion went to Yanmen Pass and passed through Yimaling, he could bring these grains and grass with him.

Li Guo was overjoyed, it was only three days, Ling Jingyang raised 3,000 grain for the army, in order to protect the grain and grass, he deliberately asked Zhang Neng to lead the forward army to Yimaling, and also liberated Ling Jingyang to garrison Yimaling and waste time.

Li Daoli returned the next morning, along with his friend Ma Kai.

Five days ago, he went to the vicinity of Yanmen Pass, lost half of the soldiers' lives, and finally came back with first-hand information about Yanmen Pass.

Ma Kai was out of breath and said to Li Guo: "Our army is fighting for Yanmen Pass with the Qing army, and I also ask the general to set off quickly, if it is too late, Yanmen Pass will be lost." ”

In an uproar, Li Ran came together, lifted the horse armor with one hand, and said, "Which soldiers and horses are stationed at Yanmen Pass?" ”

"I don't know."

Li Guo asked again, which Qing army is attacking Yanmen Pass, Ma Kai still shook his head, he took his subordinates, just approached Yanmen Pass, was chased and killed by Qing army scouts, and finally got rid of the Qing army's pursuit and killing, watching from a distance in Yanmen Pass, the Qing army brought seven Hongyi cannons, fifty general cannons, and many cloud ladders to storm Yanmen Pass.

Li Guo held his chin in his right hand and said, "There are Hongyi cannons, as well as dozens of general cannons, which should be the main force of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army." ”

He and Gao Yigong gave an order, and I ordered all the troops to start this afternoon, pass by Yimaling, and the whole army rushed to Yanmen Pass.

With Li Guo's order, the soldiers and civilians of Wei County mobilized one after another, brought weapons and baggage to Yanmen Pass, and there were not many firearms in the rear camp, only more than 20 small artillery such as tiger squat guns, which were ordered by Li Guo to move forward together.

In the afternoon, Wei County became empty, only Leng Rutie led his troops to garrison here, and the other troops and horses left Wei County under the leadership of Li Guo.

Leng Rutie ordered the city gate to be closed and waited for Ling Jingyang to return, Ling Jingyang thought that he could take his subordinates to rest in Yimaling for two days, but Zhang Neng came with the forward army a day earlier.

Ling Jingyang was eager to give grain and grass to Zhang Neng, he could lead the troops to other places to raise grain and grass, Zhang Neng was also very generous, and asked Ling Jingyang to bring 800 stone of grain as dry food on the road.

Five hundred stone of grain, nearly 80,000 kilograms, Ling Jingyang's entire army is only more than 1,500 people, he thought about it, there are no horses and ox carts and other tools in the army, each soldier carries more than 50 kilograms of grain and grass to walk, no need for the rebels to attack, the whole army will also be exhausted, he thanked Zhang Neng kindly, only two hundred stone of grain is enough.

Zhang Neng then gave Ling Jingyang two hundred stones of grain, and Ling Jingyang also told him that there were rebels in Lingqiu City in the northwest, Zhang Neng said with a smile: "I will lead the troops to pull out this group of fangs, you hurry up and raise grain and grass." ”

Ling Jingyang said goodbye to Zhang Neng, retreated to Wei County with the troops, retreated to Heishiling, and rested here for a long time, he happened to see Li Guo leading the soldiers and civilians of the rear camp on the high slope, and went to the south in a mighty way, Ling Jingyang sighed a little, this is the general who led the troops.

The rear battalion advanced with great force, and after Ling Jingyang rested for half a day in Heishiling, he also rushed to Wei County with his troops at full speed.

At this time, the cavalry battalion and artillery battalion also returned to Wei County, and the heads of the four major families also returned to Wei County, they had a wide range of contacts in Shanxi, in order to buy grain, they mixed the grain trade in it under the guise of doing other businesses, and successfully brought a lot of trade to Ling Jingyang.

But because of the rush of time, many businesses are only halfway through, and they have to wait until the next time they are negotiating, and the four major families hope that Ling Jingyang will come back sooner, and after reporting to him, they will continue to discuss the second time so as to earn more silver.

Ling Jingyang returned to Wei County and came to the room where he lived before, he thought that Wen Yuanyang was retreating with the logistics camp, but he saw Wen Yuanyang in the room, waiting for him to come back with his hands on his cheeks.

He said to his soldiers: "Where is Dong Daqi?" ”

Dong Daqi was cleaning the house next door, and when he heard Ling Jingyang calling his name, he hurriedly trotted over.

"General, where is the general?"

He asked Dong Daqi with a gloomy face: "Why didn't Miss Wen go to Yanmen Pass?" ”

Dong Daqi's mind was full of white water, but he didn't ignore Wen Yuanyang, he looked at Wen Yuanyang sitting in the room in armor, with an incredulous expression.

"General, before the last general, I asked Miss Wen and the Wen family to go to Yanmen Pass temporarily, I saw her go out of the city with the Wen family, why did she go back to the city again?"

Dong Daqi did make proper arrangements for Wen Yuanyang, but he didn't expect Wen Yuanyang to come back halfway, and the Wen family covered for her one after another, so that she successfully returned to the city and waited for Ling Jingyang to return.

Ling Jingyang was not angry and asked Dong Daqi to roll down, he came to the room alone, Wen Yuanyang was startled by the sound of opening the door, and the next second he saw that it was Ling Jingyang coming back, and his heart jumped excitedly.

"Official, the slave family has been waiting for you these days."

As soon as Wen Yuanyang spoke, Ling Jingyang felt that his heart was crisp, this is really a stunner in the world, he just wanted to talk to Wen Yuanyang, and a voice sounded outside the door again.

This time it was not Dong Daqi, it was the four major families who came to visit, and among the four of them there was Wenbu Question, Wen Yuanyang saw that Wenbu Title was also coming, and hid his face and left, Ling Jingyang was not angry, after all, the four families brought him real benefits.
