The three thousand iron horsemen entered the flock like wolves, and after breaking into the camp of the White Lotus Sect bandits, they seemed to have no hindrance, cutting them into two columns, east and west.

A wide blood mark went from north to south to the city of Yanzhou, and then the leader shot an arrow at the head of the city, and without waiting for Jia Cong to respond, he led the team to the northwest to kill.

"Adult ......"

The soldiers presented the letter carried by the feather arrow with both hands, and Jia Cong hurriedly opened it.

The handwriting in the letter is very familiar to him, and it is the handwriting of his teacher Xu Jin. However, the above content made it difficult for him to accept, Lu Xiaozu went up to take a look, and saw four words in the book: Don't go out of the city!

Burst......

Jia Cong almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and the teacher didn't trust him, a brave and invincible good man?

Lu Xiaozu's original heart was slightly relaxed, but in fact, he didn't really approve of the soldiers and horses in the city going out of the city to counterattack.

Yanzhou was besieged for six days, the soldiers and civilians in the city suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers who could fight were only one thousand or seventeen, and the remaining people seemed to be a large number, but where could they compare with the murderous White Lotus Sect bandits.

Lu Xiaozu was afraid that Jia Cong would make meritorious contributions, and he would kill out of the city regardless of the casualties of the army and civilians, that would be a victory, and he was afraid that every family in Yanzhou City would be vegetarian, and all the people would be sad together.

"Fortunately, Mr. Qingteng has considered it thoroughly......

Lu Xiaozu's muttering was not loud, and he was drowned in the sound of war drums. Jia Cong stood at the head of the city and stretched his neck to look at the battle situation under the city, screaming from time to time as if he was the tip of the arrow of the iron cavalry, and the whole person was in a state of excitement.

Knock knock knock......

Jia Shiyi had already read the order from Xu Jin, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

He seized the enemy's panicked fighter plane and ordered the artillery to be fired again, trying his best to harvest the living force of the White Lotus Sect bandits, and reducing the resistance to the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army.

Woowoowoo......

The eastern, western, and northern sides sounded the horn almost at the same time, and Liu Ke, Xu Jin, and Ren Chengwei's army from the direction of Zou County arrived at the predetermined assembly place at the same time and launched a general attack.

The cavalry cut through the camp of the White Lotus Sect army five times in a row, completely disrupting the enemy's formation, and at the same time disrupting the command of Han Tong, Zhang Chongfang, and Li Duoyang over their men.

It can also be seen from this point that Liu Ke, the king of Zhongshun, is really not a waste, this guy is hidden deep enough!

Five consecutive charges had exhausted the three thousand iron cavalry, and after the last time they cut through the enemy camp, they rushed directly to the city of Yanzhou to rest temporarily.

Jia Cong immediately ordered the crossbowmen to rain arrows and plough the north bank of the moat with artillery fire to create a safer rest environment for the cavalry brothers.

Whether it is Han Tong, Zhang Chongfang, or Li Duoyang, it will be clear why he has been able to go to Yanzhou without hindrance for so many days, it turns out that these are all conspiracies of the imperial court.

They were like turtles in an urn, trapped under the city of Yanzhou. At this time, it was too late to escape, if they hadn't agreed to attack Yanzhou three days ago, there would still be a chance to go elsewhere......

Alas, it's all greed!

Zhang Chongfang suddenly said: "I can't rush out, I can only descend to the court for today's plan, and I still have a chance to live!"

Han Tong saw that the elite infantry of the imperial court had entered the White Lotus Sect camp, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Heaven's will is like this, I, Han Tong, have the talent to pass through the heavens and latitudes, what is the use? If you want to surrender, I can only fight to the death."

He has rebelled many times since the Zhaowu period, and the county officials have killed several of them, and the court will not accept his surrender.

Li Duoyang seemed to choke his neck, and after being angry, he let go of the handle of the knife in his hand. Zhang Chongfang's face was full of defeat, and after a long time, he held the handle of the knife back, and made a color with the person near the left, and suddenly broke out, and slashed at Li Duoyang's neck with a knife.

Almost at the same time, his subordinates also drew their swords and slashed at the people around them, and in just a dozen breaths, they slashed and killed the cronies of Han and Li near the Chinese army.

Li Duoyang's body was separated and fell under the horse. Han Tong is not dead, but there is a sword around his neck, and the person holding the sword is none other than his military advisor Song Jinxing.

Han Tong's face was full of disbelief: "Sir, you ......."

Song Jinxing asked Han Tong to be tied up and taught it to Zhang Chongfang's subordinates, and then

With a look of shame in his eyes, he said to Han Tong: "I'm sorry for King Ming, I don't want to die yet!"

It is said that 30,000 bandits, how can they resist for an hour or two, but the reality is so dramatic, when the army of the imperial court rushed into the battle, after just half an hour of fighting, the tragic battle expected by Jia Cong did not appear, but was a one-sided harvest.

"Confused? The lower officials have a superficial opinion."

Lu Xiaozu accompanied Jia Cong to watch the encirclement and suppression of the city, and poured a sip of liquor into his mouth. Then he smiled slightly, "Do you remember the state of the White Lotus Sect bandits when they first attacked the city six days ago? It's not an exaggeration to say that they are not afraid of death, but after the two sieges were frustrated, especially after General Eleventh injured the thief leader Han Tong, the faith of the bandits collapsed, and they began to fear death."

"The bandits who are afraid of death are like chickens and dogs in front of the elite of the imperial court, and they are not vulnerable at all. Besides, the right army of the Xiaguan Bandits was in a mess and had no fighting spirit, so it is estimated that there is a big problem within the White Lotus Sect."

As Lü Xiaozu said, the White Lotus Sect's offensive was at its most fierce two days before it arrived at the city of Yanzhou, and after the siege was frustrated on the second day, the will to fight took a sharp turn.

Even if the 30,000 army is pressed on all fronts today, at least one-third of the men and horses will always hesitate.

"Look there, sir......

Jia Cong looked in the direction of Lu Xiaozu's finger, and on the low hill on the right side of the Chinese army in the formation, the Mingzi flag that originally represented Han Tong had been replaced, and was replaced by a white cloth, which seemed to be whose underwear......

Is this going to fall?

Since the Qin Dynasty, the white of the child is to serve the king of the Han Dynasty, and it has been a practice for thousands of years to raise white to surrender.

Lu Xiaozu was overjoyed and said, "Victory, victory, my lord, we have won!"

Compared with Lu Xiaozu's excitement, Jia Cong was unwilling.

There may be many innocent people in the White Lotus Sect who have been deceived, but none of these people here are innocent.

I can't fight before I think of surrendering, it's too late!

"Someone, open the city gate, and go out of the city with Ben to kill the enemy!"

Lu Xiaozu was shocked, and grabbed Jia Cong, who was about to go down to the city, "My lord, why is this?"

"This general eats the food of the imperial court, and it is the responsibility of this general to kill the enemy, Lu Xiaozu, don't stop me."

The soldiers of Rongguo Mansion had already gathered around Jia Cong, and they were about to walk down the city.

Lu Xiaozu was anxious, and lay directly in front of Jia Cong: "My lord, the lower officials know that you are angry because the bandits surrendered, but my lord, you can't do anything to kill and surrender!"

Jia Cong didn't bother to argue with him, and raised his foot to step over, but was hugged by his leg.

"Today, the lower officials can't let the adults out of the city no matter what!"

"Get out of the ......"

"Third Master, look, Mr. Qingteng's army has overwhelmed!"

Jia Shiyi's shout made the stalemate stop the argument between the two, and Lu Xiaozu got up from the ground and returned to the city with Jia Cong.

I saw that the army on the east side had all pressed on and rushed towards the Chinese army of the White Lotus Sect bandits.

"It's not like a surrendered ......"

Lu Xiaozu's eyes widened, his eyes full of disbelief.

In a matter of moments, the front of the soldiers drowned out the bandits on the low hills. When the white flag representing surrender fell, Lu Xiaozu was already stunned.

"This ...... This...... This...... Xu Qingteng actually surrendered, he actually surrendered! Crazy, is he crazy?"

In the face of the brave imperial army, the White Lotus Sect bandits, who had lost their command and fighting spirit, were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they were killed in only half an hour.

Xu Jin was ruthless this time, crossed the loyal and obedient king Liu Ke, and gave a death order as a messenger, and did not surrender to the bandits, and the violators were immediately beheaded!

The four gates of Yanzhou City, which had been closed for six days, finally slowly opened on the afternoon of the first day of the third lunar month to welcome the army into the city.

The people in the city opened their doors one after another, and walked out of the house to enjoy the warm sun.

Xu Jin was just fine, and the look of exhaustion on Liu Ke's face was extremely obvious.

The first thing he did when he returned to Yanzhou Mansion was to ask people to prepare hot water, saying that he wanted to take a good bath.

Xu Jin ignored the old man's complaints, to be honest, this time he made the little apprentice and this prince not lightly, the family was dignified and noble, and he was mobilized by his own letter to follow the butt of the bandits, and went around in Yanzhou Mansion for six or seven days, can he not be tired?

"Teacher's ......"

Jia Cong doesn't feel aggrieved now, and the teacher is afraid that he will inevitably be impeached by the DPRK and China when he returns to Beijing this time, and if he can't get the credit, he will have to make a fuss.

It's normal for a military general to do it, but it's the first time that Liuyuan Wenkui has done this.

At this time, where could Jia Cong take care of his grievances of being used as a chess piece, and hurriedly helped the tired Xu Jin to sit down, just wanted to say about the killing, but saw Xu Jin smiling and waving his hand.

"I'll talk about other things later, you immediately arrange for someone to go to Qujia Town at the foot of the mountain to transport the grain."

"Huh? Food?"

I saw Xu Jin nodded, and whispered in Jia Cong's ear, "It's all the food of the Kong family, which is enough for Yanzhou disaster relief."

How rich the Qufu Kong family is, it can be seen from what Xu Jin obtained.

A full 110,000 stone of grain, just to transport the grain to Yanzhou City, Jia Cong arranged for an army of 3,000 to escort more than 10,000 young people to carry it overnight.

After the four gates were opened, the gentry in the city, according to Jia Cong's instructions, organized Qingzhuang to dispose of tens of thousands of corpses inside and outside the city overnight.

The weather is clear, it's already March, and as the temperature rises, if the corpses are not disposed of, the plague will soon break out.

"There is no shortage of food for the time being, medicinal materials must be sent quickly, after the great war and disaster, it is very likely that an epidemic will break out, you hurry up to Wenjingzhong, and let the household department send the imperial doctor and medicinal materials over."

Xu Jin handed a written official document to Lu Xiaozu and rubbed his brows. The fatigue of two consecutive days made him very tired, but the officials of Yanzhou City were almost wiped out by Liu Ke, except for Hong Shixing, who was busy disposing of corpses outside the city, he and Lu Xiaozu were the only ones who could do things.

As for Liu Ke, the king of Zhongshun, and Jia Cong, the little apprentice, they are both half-in government affairs, and it would be good if they didn't add to the chaos.

Lu Xiaozu spread out a prepared book of music in front of Xu Jin, bowed down and asked, "My lord, the lower official has prepared the battle report, can you take ......a look?"

Well......

Xu Jin looked at it roughly and added a few lines of words.

"Report it truthfully, you can't hide it, since this official dares to kill and surrender, he is ready to be impeached. If it can be exchanged for the long-term peace and stability of Shandong, what if the official just gives up this black gauze hat?"

On March 3, the weather was new, and there were many beautiful people by the water in Chang'an.

The state is thick and true, and the texture is delicate and even.

Embroidered Luo clothes shine in the late spring, and the golden peacock and silver unicorn are worn.

Since the end of February, the heavy snow in Gyeonggi has stopped, and the warm sun has been warm for several days, and God has finally given the people of the capital the breath of early spring.

The carriages on the official road in the south of the city are one after another, the big Bao'en Temple in the south of the city has *** today, there are many believers in the city's large and small people to go to the meeting, that is, the Rongguo Mansion that guards the door has two carriages to the big Bao'en Temple.

"Phew!"

The carriage came to a halt abruptly, and a moment later the coachman hurried the carriage to the side of the road and gave way to the side.

Mrs. Xing lifted the curtain and looked at it, frowning: "What's the matter? Who is such a big shelf that makes the people of our house retreat aside?"

The leader of the pro-soldiers who escorted him to Bao'en Temple hugged his fists and said, "Back to the master's mother, it is the red silk messenger, and it is six hundred miles of urgency!"

Although Mrs. Xing was born in a small family, she had also been married to Rongguo Mansion for several years, so she naturally understood what the red silk messenger represented.

She suddenly remembered Jia Yu and Jia Lian who went to Jiangnan and Jia Cong in Shandong, and hurriedly ordered: "It's from the south, you quickly arrange someone to inquire, where is the 600 miles urgent, but it has something to do with our family."

"The subordinates obey the order, so let's arrange it."

The soldiers retreated, and in a short time the sound of horses' hooves galloped past the carriage.

Madame Xing lifted the curtain of the car a little, only to see several light armored cavalrymen carrying a golden dragon flag with a red background on their backs, speeding over.

Everyone has passed, and there is a faint sound in the ears

There was a burst of shouting: "Six hundred miles of urgency, Shandong is a great victory, the official army is a great victory, and 30,000 White Lotus bandits are all punished in Yanzhou!"

Crash!

The curtain of a carriage behind was suddenly opened, and Daiyu looked in the direction where the voice came from, but unfortunately the red silk messenger had turned into a black dot and headed straight for the capital.

"Second sister, I seem to have heard the victory in Yanzhou......

Yingchun's face was already full of surprise, and he took Daiyu's hand and said, "That's right, it's Brother Cong...... Yanzhou victory!"

If you say what is the place that Yingchun and Daiyu are most concerned about these days, it must be Yanzhou City, where Jia Cong is located.

The old lady was hurt by the sudden fright, and even with Jia Jing's assurance these days, she still lingered on the sickbed.

In the end, he is old, and after thinking about it for several days, he has only been a little more energetic.

Today, Mrs. Xing took two girls out to the *** of Dabao'en Temple, one is to pray for the old lady, and the other is to ask for peace and blessing for several gentlemen in Rongguo Mansion.

"Second sister, why don't we talk to my eldest aunt and go back to Beijing first."

Daiyu now wants to know the specific situation in Yanzhou, where do you still have the heart to go to what ***.

But I saw an old lady getting down from the carriage in front of her, and she approached Houfu and said, "Second girl, Miss Lin, Mrs. said that she has arranged for someone to go back to Beijing to inquire about the news, so don't worry about the two girls."

Yingchun winked at Daiyu and teased Daiyu with a red face.

The team in front of them resumed normal driving, and the two lowered the curtain and chatted in the carriage.

The atmosphere in Rongguo Mansion is a little depressing these days, and even Baoyu doesn't dare to make noise in Rongxi Hall.

The old lady leaned on the pillow, and the mandarin duck fed her the decoction in the small bowl, and after rinsing her mouth, the old lady ate a sweet plum, which finally relieved the bitterness in her mouth.

"This Imperial Doctor Yang's medicine is getting more and more bitter, and it hasn't worked for several days, so stop it."

The mandarin duck waited for the old lady to run out of medicine, cleaned up the bed, and then said with a smile: "Good medicine is bitter, Yinu maid sees that you have been much better in the past two days. Imperial Doctor Yang also said yesterday that the old lady was too worried this time, whether it was decoction or acupuncture, it was just a cure, so you still have to relax. When the third master's letter arrives, the slave dares to guarantee that the old lady will definitely be cured."

The old lady listened to the mandarin duck's long words of comfort, and said with a smile: "Every time you say these words over and over again, you will not change a new word. You, let's go to Dongfu and ask Jing'er first, and see if there is any news from the DPRK. This Yanzhou is besieged, and Brother Cong has not sent a word home so far, I really can't let go of this heart."

If it was before, where would the old lady care so much about Jia Cong, the grandson.

But now it's different, after so many things, the old lady can see very clearly, that is, his eldest son can be crowned the marquis, and they are inextricably linked with Jia Cong.

And she has a feeling that the future of this grandson is limitless.

The two generations of emperors valued it, and the Emperor Taishang personally selected famous people as teachers for him, which was to cultivate henchmen for the future emperor.

The prince's companions Jia Jing and Jia Yu didn't have this treatment, so it was not good that the Jia family would have a third grandfather.

Not long after the mandarin duck came out of Rongxi Hall, before he walked to the side door, he saw Rong's grandmother Qin Keqing walking over with a happy face.

"Slave maid to Grandma Rong please ......"

"Don't be busy saluting, take me to the ancestors, there is a great event!"

Qin Keqing raised the letter in his hand, changed his previous steadyness, pulled the mandarin duck to Rongxi Hall again and again, and said to him again: "The Red Silk Messenger sent good news in six hundred miles urgently, Yanzhou was victorious, and the White Lotus Sect was punished by all the bandits. Third Uncle Cong asked the Red Silk messenger to return the letter a little bit, and my grandfather was still in the palace, so he just asked his own soldiers to send the letter back."

After reading the letter sent back by Jia Cong, the old lady's originally pale face flushed red, and she coughed again and again.

The mandarin duck and Qin Keqing fed water and stroked their chests and backs, and finally relieved them.

"Slave maid, go and ask the imperial doctor......

The old lady stopped the mandarin duck: "I'm fine,

I'm fine. Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, you write a letter on my behalf and send it to Shandong......

?Pass?? Referral ticket?
