Ouyang Ming's response
After the outpost investigation, it was found that the Northern Yan people, who had finally captured the Nanling Mountain Road last night, had quietly turned back the same way.
They only rested overnight in the abandoned camp of the border army in Daqian Town, and then decisively gave up and continued to attack Bei'ancheng.
Chang Da excitedly conveyed these latest news to Jiang Chen, and while the spit Xingzi was flying vigorously, his two thick eyebrows were also flying up and down.
Jiang Chen nodded, but he didn't seem so happy, or he had expected such a result, so he was not as overjoyed as Chang Da at all.
Of course, he also knew very well in his heart that among so many possible outcomes, this result was definitely the most ideal and one of the lowest probabilities.
But this has become a fact after all, Jiang Chen has to thank Han Yuyang, who commanded the army to attack the city in Liaocheng, and also has to thank Cangtian for his favor.
If it was just that day, Ouyang Ming would definitely come to the city, and then it would be a diametrically opposite scene, and Jiang Chen would secretly breathe a sigh of relief for this.
Now that the Beiyan people have retreated, the clouds hanging over Bei'an City can finally disappear, and no one will shed blood and sacrifice, and the people will not be terrified.
Jiang Chen said: "Ouyang Ming's willingness to withdraw his troops back is enough to show that the battle situation on the Liaocheng side is very unfavorable to Northern Yan. We have to thank Han Yuyang and their Qishan Iron Cavalry, if it weren't for the huge pressure on the Northern Yan people caused by their three military lives, this siege on our side would not be so easy to solve. ”
Chang Da nodded approvingly.
"Yes, I will always keep this favor in my heart, and I will definitely find a chance to repay it one day."
At this point, Jiang Chen began to explain some follow-up affairs to Chang Da, such as asking Chang Da to properly arrange a place for the brothers of the border army in the town, and to find a good doctor in the city for careful treatment for those who were injured.
Of course, those warriors who gave their lives to fight against strong enemies on the Nanling Mountain Road, Jiang Chen will never forget them.
He told Chang Da to write down the names of these warriors and make a list to keep, and in the future he would take the list to the court to ask for merit, although it did not mean much to the dead.
But warriors should be treated as warriors deserve, not to mention that their families and relatives also need to be compensated, and their future lives need to be guaranteed.
Chang Da wrote down all the things Jiang Chen explained and promised to do it truthfully.
After chatting about business, Jiang Chen said: "By the way, you still need to be careful on the side of Nanling Mountain Road, it is not impossible for the enemy to go and return, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years." ”
"Then, you accompany me to the Spring Breeze Tower today, and I want to meet the Oiran beauty in your mouth."
Chang Da's eyes lit up suddenly, "If the adult has this thought, then Chang is naturally willing to accompany him to the end." ”
"Then let's go now."
Jiang Chen stretched out his hand and patted Chang Da's shoulder gently, looking like he was in a pretty good mood, this is also a matter of course, after such a tragic battle, it is not easy to wait for the hard-won peace today, and anyone will feel much more relaxed.
However, Changda felt a little embarrassed at this time.
"My lord, this ...... Shall we wait a little longer? The folds on Changda's forehead were tightly pressed together, making him look much older than before.
"Why wait?" Jiang Chen asked in surprise.
"My lord, the kind of place in Chunfeng Tower will only open at night to welcome guests, and now it is only an hour before the light of day, do you think you can wait any longer?"
Chang Da said it very tactfully, I guess this Master Jiang must have never visited the Qinglou, seeing that his face is still so young, he must be immature in this event.
Thinking of this, Chang Da couldn't help but feel some sense of superiority in his heart, don't look at Lord Jiang's miraculous ability to lead troops to fight, which makes people feel unfathomable, but after all, people will always have shortcomings, and he must not be compared with our old man in terms of seeking pleasure and having fun.
"Oh, you're reminding me, I'm in a bit of a hurry." Jiang Chen said with a sudden realization.
Since he couldn't go to Chunfeng Tower for the time being, Jiang Chen asked Chang Da to take him to taste the local breakfast, and by the way, he also learned about the customs of Bei'an.
Chang Da was very enthusiastic, after all, this Bei'an City was his territory, so he was also extremely enthusiastic to introduce Jiang Chen to the various situations in the city, whether it was food, scenery or folk customs, all of them were like treasures.
After a while, the two came to a teahouse that didn't look very big, and when the shopkeeper saw Chang Da's face, he brought all the refreshments to the table without saying a word.
Chang Da smiled slightly: "My lord is laughing, our Bei'an is a small border city, so it can't compare to the prosperity of Beijing, and I don't know if adults can eat it." ”
"But these on the table are all authentic delicacies in Bei'an, and you can't taste them if you want to change them to Jingshi!"
Jiang Chen nodded, picked up the chopsticks and tasted them casually.
Served on a half-palm-sized plate, these snacks come in a variety of small portions, but they allow you to enjoy as many flavors as possible.
"Yes, you usually eat so much at one meal?"
Chang Da hurriedly explained: "No, no, I usually come out for breakfast, and I have to bring dozens of brothers, but I accompanied the adults today, so I didn't let them follow." Those rough people are too noisy, and I'm afraid they're disturbing the adults' Yaxing. ”
As he spoke, one of his subordinates hurried up to the second floor, holding a letter in his hand, looking very important.
Chang Da glared at him and said, "If you have anything to do and then speak, you will be embarrassed in front of Master Jiang when you are in a panic!" ”
The subordinate turned pale and hurriedly bowed his head, looking very ashamed.
"This letter was found in the camp on the South Ridge Mountain Road?" Jiang Chen stopped the chopsticks in his hand and asked.
"My lord, that's true. This was deliberately left by the Beiyan people, and it seems that it should be specially for adults. ”
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, he knew that this was Ouyang Ming's reply to him, so he asked this subordinate to quickly open it for him.
When the letter was unfolded, there was no text in it, but the pattern of Ouyang Ying's battle banner was drawn on the paper, that is, the pattern of the sun surrounded by three fire wings.
Chang Da was puzzled, so he could only ask Jiang Chen: "What does this Zhenguo Wu military of Beiyan mean by leaving this letter?" ”
Jiang Chen smiled: "He wants to say that he will come back sooner or later." ”
