Chapter 169: It's a Talent! I want it!
"Hehe," after listening to Gao Changgong's report, Yuwen Shihong said with a relaxed smile:
"This Dugu Yongye is really a stubborn stone that deserves its name!"
"A civilian official, he actually has the calmness and strategy to resist the invasion of the army, he is a talent!"
"I want to Zhao An! Use it for me! ”
Hearing this, Gao Changgong smiled bitterly:
"Your Majesty doesn't know, this Dugu Yongye is not only famous in the Qi Kingdom, but also in the forbidden army of our Zhou State, and it is also well-known!"
"Earlier, our army conquered the Yangtze River, and this Luozhou is also a must-pass place!"
"At that time, I also blamed our army for underestimating the enemy, and only took Luozhou with 10,000, but Luozhou was under siege for three whole months, and even had the strength to continue to hold on!"
"Even the last general can't figure out how this Dugu Yongye did it!"
As soon as he heard this, Yuwen Shihong's eyes lit up and he wanted to surrender this person:
"Then, do you know if this person has also done evil deeds such as looting the people like Hezhou Taishou?"
Yuwen Shihong thought to himself, if he survived in this way, then it didn't matter if he killed this person.
saw Gao Changgong shake his head:
"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, Dugu Yongye has a very good reputation among the people of Luozhou, but whenever asked, the people of Luozhou are all praised!"
"It is precisely because of his true love for the people that when Luozhou was besieged, the people spontaneously harvested the millet that was still half a month away from harvesting in advance, and gave it all to Dugu Yongye to help him defend the city!"
"What the people are afraid of is that after the city is lost, they will also lose this magistrate who really cares about them, and they will have a bleak life in the future."
"Dugu Yongye thanked the people of the city for their help at that time, and after the army of our Zhou State retreated from the siege, he gave the people all the ten thousand stone polished rice that was used as a reward for him in the Qi Dynasty to repay it."
"In short, fame!"
"Tut-tut," Yuwen Shihong praised without reservation:
"This is the way to be an official for a long time, much better than those who have a small belly!"
"Continue to besiege Luoju! No need to siege the city! I managed to! ”
"Heartbeat!"
"Yes! Your Majesty! Gao Changgong took the order and left.
Because Luozhou is the only place to go east, the 100,000 army was blocked outside the city of Luozhou, and there was no way to open eastward!
You can only camp on the spot and wait for the military order to fight!
None of the defenders of Luozhou came forward, and the fire gun army completely lost its power, although the sound of the fire gun was loud, but the sound was loud and frightening to death.
In the current situation, everyone in the army can perceive the stalemate in between, and I am afraid that it will be a long time to stalemate!
On the other side, Yang Shuang had already counted the ears captured in the battle dozens of times.
The ears that had been freshly cut off from the skulls of the enemy were now withered and blackened.
"Oh, he's still counting, hehe, I can't count anymore, count what he's doing." Yang Shuang's colleague and partner Han Baohu came over with a smile and shared with Yang Shuang the millet porridge he had cooked and a small piece of salted meat.
"Huh? Isn't the salted meat all reserved for the people of Hezhou? Where did you get this? Yang Shuang asked straightly, and at the same time wrapped the pile of "loot" in a cloth pocket and put it aside.
"Don't tell me that you really scattered it all to the hungry people in Hezhou?" Han Baohu was a little surprised, and then he teased him in a mocking voice:
"You are too sincere, and Your Majesty didn't say that you would pay it all."
"I've been in Hezhou for so long, and the people from Sinong Temple haven't moved at all, and they have left your brother in Hezhou, which means that the subsequent grain and grass will have to be replenished for some time."
"Look, your brother has used brown rice and brown millet as military rations, and all we ate earlier was polished rice, what does this mean? It means that we will not be able to eat well for a long time, and the good estimates will all fall into the mouths of the hungry, so we must not keep some for ourselves. ”
Yang Shuang hasn't eaten salt for a few days, although he can eat enough rice by eating millet, but he can't make it hard to come all over.
Seeing that there was salted meat, he didn't bother to talk to Han Baohu any more, so he immediately took a few big bites.
"Eh, take it easy! I haven't eaten it yet! Han Baohu hurriedly stretched out his hand to protect the salted meat.
"Naigong (your grandfather and me) haven't been able to eat salt for several days, and now my arms and legs are as soft as mud, you can eat less, and you will be relieved of me, a hungry soldier."
Han Baohu laughed, when the siege of Hezhou fell into a stalemate earlier, Yang Shuang was greatly stimulated by the people in the city being thrown from the upper floors, and called people everywhere overnight to dig dog holes with him, trying to break the strict defense of Hezhou from the inside.
Almost no one paid attention to him, but Han Baohu was very moved by Yang Shuang's soft-hearted and bloody nature, why didn't he feel the same way?
Immediately, his brain was hot, and he nodded in agreement.
Fortunately, His Majesty didn't know why, he was very concerned about Yang Shuang's life and death, and forcibly broke into the city gate when the ten of them dug the dog hole and drilled into the city faced the siege of the pursuers.
This is why he narrowly escaped the siege and saved his life.
Thinking back on the past, Han Baohu said faintly afraid:
"Brother Yang, you can't act like that in the future, this time it's a big fate, let's save a small life, maybe next time it's really ......"
"Whew, it's not fate," Yang Shuang slurped the thick millet porridge, swallowed a few mouthfuls of heat, and then said with a grin:
"Your Majesty understands me very well, he knows that I should cooperate inside and outside, so he came so timely, you may not believe it, Your Majesty is quite important to me!"
"I'm smack!" Han Baohu really didn't believe it, so he got up and left the tent after two dislikes, too lazy to take care of Yang Shuang, a bragging goods.
"What I said is true, I can follow the royal driver, or the emperor himself named it!"
"Before I set out, I talked to the emperor in private!"
Yang Shuang was anxious to prove himself to the best friend of life and death, and Han Baohu had already left.
"Hmph."
Yang Shuang touched his precious cloth pocket, which contained a full fifty ears, which he cut off with his own hands after killing the enemy with his own hands.
One ear can be exchanged for a hundred dollars for a reward, and a hundred can be exchanged for another promotion!
Promoted from a soldier to a battalion!
After promotion, he will be able to wear a sword "legally"!
He wants to use the money he got from his ears to build a unique sword for himself!
Han Baohu was bored and shuttled through the tents, thinking about getting some salted meat from other colleagues, so as not to make his body weak because he didn't have salted meat.
Walking and walking, the soldiers in the other camps saw through the purpose at a glance, and the curtain was only half lifted before it was blasted out.
He read swear words in pieces, and after a while, the "meat robbery" failed, but he saw a carriage galloping on the dirt road in the distance.
Behind the carriage was a team of hundreds of palace guards?
He wondered if the bacon was moving again, so he hurriedly wanted to go over and inquire first.
After the carriage stopped, it was a very familiar face that walked down from above—
Friend Yang Shuang's ...... Brother and sister-in-law?
"What are women doing on the battlefield?" Han Baohu scratched his head and was puzzled.
