Chapter 577: The Eve of the Great War (2)

Xu Shiyi originally didn't plan to preach.

Because the relationship between father and son has been very stiff during this time.

But seeing Xu Yingwei washing the feet of his eldest grandson, Xu Shiyi still couldn't hold back after all.

"Youzhen." Xu Shiyi frowned and said, "You are also a general who commands ten thousand armies now, how can you wash the feet of a child?" This is really unseemly, not like words. ”

As a result, before he finished speaking, his ears hurt sharply.

But it was the softest earlobe that was grabbed by his own wife.

"Hey, don't do anything when you say something, Madame let go, it hurts."

"The old lady is a woman, not a gentleman." But Madame finally gave up.

Xu Shiyi hurriedly fled ten steps away, stomped his feet and scolded: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and the sincerity of the husband is not deceiving." ”

"Old thing, I think you have itchy skin, my mother will give you tight skin today." Mrs. Xu was about to chase after her, but Xu Shiyi quickly hid her face and fled.

It's insulting, it's really insulting.

The young Xu Xiaowen giggled again.

"This old thing." As soon as Mrs. Xu turned around after scolding, she turned into a smile when she looked at Xu Yingwei and his son again, "My good grandson, come, grandma hug." ”

"Mother, dad wants to save face, don't pinch his ears in the future."

Xu Yingwei also wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help but laugh.

"What face does he want? Give him face so that he can take a concubine? ”

"Concubine?" Xu Yingwei felt incredible, there was such a thing?

"Before you went home, the old thing read Zhuangzi every day, and only read one sentence: Linggong has three wives, and they bathe together, do you think he wants to take a concubine?"

Xu Yingwei couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Old Madam Xu suddenly said again: "It's you, son, should you take a concubine?" Sanniang has to serve her in-laws at home, you can't have no one around you to take care of your daily life, you have to have a body of yourself who knows cold and hot. ”

Shi Sanniang, who was picking vegetables next to her, couldn't help but have a meal, and her face was not very good-looking.

Xu Yingwei shook his head and said: "Mother, I was about to tell you about this, after the end of this provincial family leave, my son plans to take Sanniang and Xiaowen to Nanjing, Nanjing has a better school, and Xiaowen can directly enter the school to learn a new school." ”

Shi Sanniang's expression relaxed, but Old Madam Xu was full of disappointment, and she couldn't say anything.

However, at this moment, a fast horse galloped from the official road at the entrance of the village.

"There is a decree in the saint, urgently summon Xu to return to Beijing! There is a decree in the saint, urgently summon Xu to return to Beijing to listen to it! ”

A few potatoes in Shi Sanniang's hand fell into the sink again, and this time it won't be Nanjing again.

Xu Yingwei's face also became serious, his provincial family vacation this time was three months, and he was supposed to wait until the Lantern Festival to return to Beijing, but now the saint actually asked him to return to Beijing in advance?

Is this something big happening?

……

In Xinjin, Sichuan.

The Ming army was launching a fierce attack on the low county town of Xinjin.

After more than a year of crusade in the east and west, the rebel armies in Sichuan have been basically pacified by Li Xiangjun, and now Li Xiangjun has joined forces with Qin Liangyu to launch an attack on Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army.

Xinjin County, as the southern barrier of Chengdu, has become the main battlefield of both sides.

However, the resistance of the Great Western Army was extremely tenacious, because Xinjin County was already the last barrier, and once Xinjin County fell, the Ming Dynasty official army could drive straight into Chengdu City.

Qin Liangyu was wearing cotton armor and stood solemnly on the nest car surrounded by Li Xiangjun, Ge Nenniang and other female generals.

Standing on the roof of the five-zhang high nest car, you can take in the entire Xinjin county in front of you from a high position, and you can see the battlefield outside the south gate of Xinjin clearly.

I saw that the native soldiers of the eastern provinces of Sichuan poured under the city wall like a tide, and followed dozens of ladder ants to attack the city.

The southern city wall of Xinjin County is crowded with black and oppressed earth soldiers, really like an ant colony foraging, and the not majestic Xinjin County in front is the prey.

It's just that the prey is still resisting.

Wolf tooth beating, yaksha sage, gold juice ash bottle, and Menghuo oil.

Especially the Menghuo oil, buckets of boiling hot Menghuo oil are poured down, and a few more torches are thrown, and the base of the city wall will fall into a sea of fire in an instant.

Seeing this, Li Xiangjun's pretty face flashed with regret.

Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like people in a spring boudoir dream, their wives and their children, I am afraid that they will no longer be able to wait for the return of their husbands and fathers.

"Girl, don't you think it's cruel?"

Qin Liangyu said faintly: "After a battle, hundreds or even thousands of living people will be gone. ”

"Master, I know." Li Xiangjun bowed his head slightly, and the eyes in his beautiful eyes became firm again, "Since it is a war, it will eventually die, and these soldiers will not die in vain, it is precisely because of their bloody sacrifice that they can exchange for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the peace and contentment of the people." ”

"That's right, Ci is not in charge of the army."

Qin Liangyu's voice gradually became cold.

"If you want to be a good general, you have to be ruthless."

"Before the war starts, you must be as prepared as possible and be as considerate as possible for the soldiers under your command."

"However, as soon as the battle starts, you can't have a living person in your eyes, and all the soldiers are just piles of chips, just cold numbers, understand?"

"Disciples are taught." Li Xiangjun said solemnly.

While the two masters were talking, the native soldiers of eastern Sichuan finally grabbed the city.

As time went on, more and more Ming troops grabbed the city, and the Great Western Army finally collapsed.

"Mother, handsome, the thieves have collapsed!" Ge Nenniang immediately shouted excitedly.

Accompanied by Ge Nenniang's shout, a huge cheer also sounded on the head of the city of Xinjin County in front.

Li Xiangjun let out a sigh of relief and said to Qin Liangyu: "Master, the next thing is to fight with Zhang Thief." ”

"The thief may run, this thief has always been very alert, and he will decisively open when he sees that the situation is wrong." Qin Liangyu was worried that Zhang Xianzhong would mention that he would go to northern Sichuan to escape.

While talking, a fast horse galloped from the direction of Meizhou.

In the distance, I heard the messenger on horseback shouting: "Urgent, Nanjing!" ”

"Nanjing Express?!" Qin Liangyu's face changed slightly, and he immediately took Li Xiangjun and got off the nest car quickly.

After reading the urgent delivery, Li Xiangjun's face suddenly became solemn, and he turned his head and asked Qin Liangyu: "Master, what should I do?" ”

Qin Liangyu pondered for a while and said: "Pass the order, give up Xinjin County, and the whole army will withdraw to Pengshankou to hold on!" ”

"Huh? Abandon Xinjin and withdraw to Pengshankou to hold on? Ge Nenniang was stunned and said, "Why is this?" It's not easy to hit Xinjin County, and then you can directly hit Chengdu, why give up? ”

"Young girl!" Li Xiangjun's pretty face sank slightly, and reprimanded, "This is a military order." ”

"Yes." Ge Nenniang agreed, and turned around and left very depressed.

Qin Liangyu and Li Xiangjun turned their gaze to the northeast at the same time.

Da Ming is finally about to start the Northern Expedition.

It's a pity that the two of them can't catch up.

……

Chengdu, the former Shu Palace, the carrier hall.

Sun Kewang [Zhang Kewang] knelt on the hall with a disgraced face.

Zhang Xianzhong held a horsewhip in his hand, and was whipping wildly on Sun Kewang's body with his head covered with his face covered.

"Fool, thief, you idiot, 70,000 troops, Lao Tzu's 70,000 army will let you be buried like this, why don't you give me death, go to death, you idiot!"

Zhang Xianzhong scolded while whipping.

Sun Kewang was beaten to the point that he didn't dare to say anything.

Ai Nengqi and Liu Wenxiu wanted to persuade, but they didn't dare to persuade.

Wang Zhaoling sneered, he had long looked at Sun Kewang unpleasantly.

After smoking for a long time and getting tired, Zhang Xianzhong was finally willing to stop.

"Prime Minister, give the order quickly." Zhang Xianzhong gasped and instructed Wang Zhaoling, "Li Xiangjun's little girl's soldiers are too strong, and Lao Tzu will go to northern Sichuan to avoid the limelight for the time being." ”

"There are children from Dingguo in northern Sichuan, and they are safe to live."

"However, Lao Tzu will be killed sooner or later."

"At that time, not only will we have to recapture Chengdu, but we will also have to capture Li Xiangjun's little girl's skin alive."

After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "Lao Tzu has to kill Li Xiangjun's little girl." ”

"Command." Wang Zhaoling received the will, and when he was about to go out, he saw Li Dingguo walking in in a hurry.

"Father!" Li Dingguo entered the main hall, immediately knelt on his knees, and pleaded guilty to Zhang Xianzhong, "The son-in-law was late to save the car, so that my father was frightened and was sentenced to death." ”

"Dingguo boy, why are you here?"

Zhang Xianzhong was shocked: "Could it be that the north of Sichuan is lost?" ”

"Father, the north of Sichuan is safe." Li Dingguo said, "Erchen heard that Chengdu was in danger, so he specially led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to escort him. ”

"That's good, it's good that northern Sichuan hasn't lost it." Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, as long as northern Sichuan was not lost, the Great Western Army would not be homeless, and there would be no need to be a rogue.

To tell the truth, Zhang Xianzhong is really fed up with being a rogue.

I haven't enjoyed a comfortable life before, so I don't feel anything, but in the past few years, I have been used to living a stable life in Chengdu, and Zhang Xianzhong really doesn't want to run around anymore.

Li Dingguo said: "Father, what is the situation now?" ”

"Now......" Zhang Xianzhong was not knowing how to speak, when a eunuch suddenly came in.

"Long live the Ming army, the Ming army has suddenly retreated." The eunuch screamed, "Tanma reported that the Ming army that had just captured the county seat of Xinjin suddenly retreated to Pengshan Pass, and the Ming army had already retreated!" ”

"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Xianzhong was immediately stunned when he heard this.

I've been fighting for most of my life, and I've never experienced anything like this.

The fat that has been eaten in his mouth, Ming Jun is still willing to spit it out?

Or, what tricks is Li Xiangjun's little girly playing?

In the past half a year, Zhang Xianzhong really scared Li Xiangjun, you said that you are a famous prostitute in Qinhuai, you don't blow Xiao well in the Qinhuai River, what kind of battle did you come to Sichuan? What kind of ability is it to bully our old Zhang.

In the end, Zhang Xianzhong decided to let Li Dingguo go to Xinjin County to have a look.

"Dingguo, you take the people from your headquarters to Xinjin County to see the situation."

Zhang Xianzhong said: "If the Ming army really retreats, you can stay there." ”

"Son's command." Li Dingguo didn't say half a word of nonsense, and left after receiving the will.
