Chapter 221 escaped again

"Master, there is a group of cavalry in front of us moving quickly, looking at the battle robes, it should be our soldiers, and my subordinates guess that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have come down to pick you up!"

Ye Fei excitedly looked at the team of dozens of people from far and near, and a cloud of dust kicked up wherever they passed.

"Queen Mother!"

Li Chengmu hurriedly stopped the horse, jumped off the horse and ran to Xia Jing, looking up at her with an excited face: "Queen Mother, why are you here?" I didn't tell me first, did I want to surprise my son? ”

Xia Jing's eyes looked at Li Chengmu, it was dark, and the person was stronger, and finally his eyes stayed on his smiling face with big white teeth, and said in a rather disgusted tone: "I haven't seen each other for so long, why are you still so stupid?" ”

"In front of the queen mother, the son wants to keep this pure smile forever and be a filial son, do you like it?" Li Chengmu didn't care at all, and asked for praise with a smile.

The smile on Xia Jing's face couldn't help but expand, and she nodded: "I like it, no matter how you change and grow, you are my little five!" ”

Seeing this kid standing in front of her unharmed, Xia Jing was relieved.

The generals behind Li Chengmu saw that the mother and son were almost interacting, so they stepped forward to salute one after another.

"The last general has seen the queen's mother!"

Xia Jing crossed the faces of several generals and said with a smile: "These days have been hard for everyone, you have been running around with Xiao Wu, and you have worked hard to recover Yingchuan, and you have worked hard!" ”

On behalf of everyone, Long Yutian stepped forward and replied with a fist: "Leading the troops to fight is the duty of the last general, and it should not be praised by the mother!" ”

The guards who followed Xia Jing, several captains also stepped forward to salute Li Chengmu, and the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the team set off again.

When I arrived at the camp outside Yuzhou, it was already twilight.

This night, Li Chengmu arranged a simple dinner party and wanted to wash the dust for Xia Jing, but she refused.

Rushing all the way over, it must be hard, Xia Jing just wanted to lie in bed and didn't want to move, she was tired and had dinner, and went to bed early after washing.

At dawn the next day, Xia Jing was woken up by the sound of horses' hooves, got up and washed up and walked out of the tent.

"Mother, you woke up, how did you sleep last night? Is it customary to stay in the barracks? After Li Chengmu got up, he came over to see if Xia Jing had woken up, but he didn't expect to see Xia Jing walking out as soon as he walked to the tent.

Xia Jing looked at him with a smile and said, "No dreams all night!" ”

"That's good." Li Chengmu glanced at Ye Fei, who was following behind Xia Jing, and found that the maid did not follow, so he asked: "There are many places where it is inconvenient to come to the barracks, and there must be many inconveniences for the queen mother to come out without bringing the maids out, do you need your son to buy two maids to wait for you?" ”

Xia Jing looked down at the costume on her body and refused: "No, do you think the queen mother's dress needs a maid to wait?" ”

Li Chengmu turned around Xia Jing very face-savingly, and his mouth was still slurking: "Tut, the queen mother's upper body is heroic, the women don't let the eyebrows, and the red face is better than the man!" It's just that you don't have to wear this uniform to have someone waiting! ”

The military general who followed behind turned his head, he really didn't want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was usually majestic, looking like a second-class teenager in front of the queen at this time.

Xia Jing didn't dwell on this matter with him, but asked him to lead the way, and everyone went to the king's tent for breakfast together.

After breakfast, Xia Jing had time to understand the current situation.

Long Yutian gave Xia Jing an overview of the current situation, and when he finished, he asked, "What do you think about the current stalemate between the enemy and us?" ”

"The rebels are waiting for work, and they have the city to defend, it stands to reason that they should have the ability to fight with us a few times, and now they are cowering in Yuzhou City, I think they have some scruples."

Xia Jing looked at the generals present as she spoke, and continued to analyze: "The rebels often like to bluff, two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses, they will boast of millions of elite soldiers, and in Yuzhou City, they claim to have stationed 100,000 soldiers and horses, I guess half of the cut, the city is no more than 50,000 at most, so it makes sense that they can't avoid the war!" ”

Long Yutian thought for a moment when he heard this, and asked: "Niangniang's analysis is very correct, but judging from the current situation, it is not a long-term solution for us to only besiege and not attack, and we have been besieged, and the consumption of grain and grass is an astronomical amount, and we can't afford to consume it." ”

Xia Jing looked at him and said, "We can't afford it, and the rebels can't afford it either, their food and grass should be more tight than ours!" ”

Long Yutian: "That's what Niangniang means."

Xia Jing raised her eyebrows at everyone, "Let's just besiege and not attack, the crops in the crops outside the city are almost ripe, and they will be harvested in a few days, and we don't have to wait for these few days, from the afternoon onwards, we will first divide a part of the soldiers out to harvest the rice in the field and the wheat in the field." ”

Long Yutian suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at Xia Jing excitedly: "What Niangniang means is that there is not much grain and grass in the city, and the rebels must be more anxious than anyone else when they see the grain that is about to mature being harvested by us. If they go out of the city, we will take the opportunity to beat the water dogs and take Yuzhou City by the way. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful, mother's plan is wonderful!"

——

Next, the rebels in Yuzhou City found that the 'persuasion' action that had not stopped in the past few days had not stopped, and in the middle of noon, more than a dozen horsemen returned and never came to change shifts.

"What's going on?"

"Haha. What else can it be, it must have been persuaded under the city for a few days, and seeing that we were indifferent, they gave up! ”

"Gave up so easily?"

"That is, after a few days, my voice should be hoarse, and we don't bird them, we should all watch the show, they can't hold on, of course they give up!"

Some rebels didn't believe it, thinking that the imperial soldiers and horses had just gone back to rest at noon, and they would definitely come to the city on time in the afternoon to tell interesting and new things in the imperial court barracks!

Only this time it disappointed them!

The court soldiers did not come to the city again, and some sharp-eyed rebels found that in the farmland in the distance, there were many court soldiers busy with something?

It was only after a long time that they saw the clearings that had been harvested, and they reacted.

"Blanch! They gave up to persuade them to surrender, and they went to harvest grain! ”

"Hurry up and report to the general, the soldiers and horses outside the city have gone to our rice fields to bring trouble to food! Damn, there wasn't much grain and grass in the city, but now the food outside the city is about to ripen, but the enemy army has taken the lead, how can it be good? ”

"Bang!"

In the Yuzhou Mansion, Lu Leshan punched the table, and the table was shaken by the impact and moved a little, and the tea in the tea cup on the table spilled out.

"Too much deception!"

The staff asked worriedly, "General, what should we do now?" ”

Withdrawing from Jiankang to Yuzhou, I was thinking about how I could enjoy a happy life for a year, but I didn't want the autumn harvest to be over, and the imperial court soldiers and horses chased after me again.

When Lu Leshan heard this, he turned his head suddenly, stared at him coldly, and asked, "Why didn't you remind General Ben to erect a wall to clear the field a few days ago?" As a staff member, can't you even think of things that General Ben can't think of? Or are you just a fucking rice bucket that eats dry rice? ”

When the staff heard his words, their faces turned pale and pale, this matter was not considered by him, but did he need to be so faceless?

Lu Leshan looked at the alternating blue and white faces of his staff, snorted coldly, pursed his lips and said nothing!

I'm so angry with him!

Thinking of the large farmland outside the city, a large amount of grain was snatched away by the imperial court soldiers and horses in such an open manner, he panicked!

"Fuck, who's more like a thief!"

His lieutenant general then asked, "General, are we going to let them go out to harvest the grain that should belong to us?" ”

The staff stood by and nodded desperately, yes, what's the difference between this and a robbery?

Lu Leshan calmed down his emotions: "How long can the grain and grass in our city last?" ”

The adjutant general and the staff looked at each other, and the adjutant general replied: "About ten days, half a month at most!" ”

Originally, the grain and grass in the city could last until the autumn harvest, but due to the sudden arrival of the imperial court, they were caught off guard, and the grain outside the city was too late to be harvested.

Lu Leshan frowned: "Observe for two days first." ”

Even if the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are divided, half of them will go to the autumn harvest, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are not something they can fight against.

Come to think of it, it's a dead end!

I don't know what to use to deal with it, otherwise, he will also flee to Runan with his team?

Although his stomach turned thousands of times, Lu Leshan did not panic at all, so that the deputy general and staff couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a while?

In the next few days, Lu Leshan had one more thing every day, and this one thing was to persist from morning to sunset.

As for what happened, it was natural to sit in the gate tower every day, watching the autumn harvest outside the city.

Watching the soldiers and horses of the imperial court harvest one hill after another, Lu Leshan's heart was dripping blood, those are all food, they are all life-saving food!

"When will reinforcements from Wuping, Ningping, Nanton, and Ruyang arrive?"

When the deputy general heard the question, he was slightly stunned, looked at the extremely arrogant imperial court soldiers and horses outside the city, and replied: "The following counties have heard about the situation in Yuzhou City, they are all in the emergency autumn harvest, and when the grain harvest is finished, they may come to the aid of Yuzhou City. ”

When Lu Leshan heard this, even if he was angry in his heart, he couldn't do anything, and now he didn't even dare to open the gate of Yuzhou, how could he reprimand the officials in the county below?

Yuzhou City is thinking about how to save itself, and Xia Jing outside the city is also thinking about how to give the city a salary, accelerate or force them to go out of the city to fight!

After pondering for a long time, Xia Jing decided to go to the city to explore the reality and then make plans.

Autumn is high and cool, and the moon is bright and starry at night.

Xia Jing quickly climbed the city wall, climbed into the city of Yuzhou, determined the approximate location of the mansion, and ran towards the direction of the mansion.

Feng Zhang was trapped in Yuzhou City, bored, and even more lonely in the middle of the night, sitting on the roof admiring the moon, but never thought that someone on the roof in the distance was floating at high speed.

Looking at the other party's agile skills, Feng Zhang's eyes lit up and he became interested, and threw the wine jug in his hand to the ground, and the person shot out like a sharp arrow.

It was only after chasing for a long time that Feng Zhang found that he was not wearing a night robe, and the moon-white wide-sleeved robe on his body was speeding under the moon.

Turning into the backyard of the mansion again, Xia Jing found the study with ease.

This time was different from the last time she came, only Lu Leshan was drinking alone in the study.

From Xia Jing's point of view, Lu Leshan was already drunk, but he was still eating and drinking, and at the same time, he had to curse from time to time.

As for who to scold, it must be the soldiers and horses of the imperial court who caused the current predicament, as well as the main generals of the imperial soldiers and horses, especially Li Chengmu, the commander-in-chief.

Xia Jing stood outside the house and plucked out her ears, she didn't expect a big man to have such a powerful mouth, she was ashamed of herself.

"You like to hear men swear?"

Although the abrupt male voice was very quiet, it still startled Xia Jing, and she turned around suddenly, and saw that the male god standing under the osmanthus tree had come down to survive the catastrophe.

Xia Jing shook her head slightly, quickly moved in front of him, and looked at the man's dress, which could only be described by the word Sao Bao.

"Who are you?"

Feng Zhang raised his hand and smoothed the hair on both sides, slightly hooking his lips: "People watching the play under the moon!" ”

Xia Jing didn't expect him to answer like this, she glanced at him with a little surprise, clasped her hands on her chest, thought for a while, and asked seriously: "Are you Wu Gang who cut trees in Guanghan Palace?" ”

"Wu Gang?"

Feng Zhang never expected Xia Jing to ask him like this, he swept Xia Jing Miaoman's figure, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and a charming smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth: "Why does the girl think that I am from Guanghan Palace?" ”

Xia Jing's eyelids jumped, and she replied without thinking: "Because Fairy Chang'e came to the mortal world today, you must have chased Fairy Chang'e to the mortal world." ”

When Feng Zhang heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, this woman is really shameless, isn't this a disguised praise of herself as Fairy Chang'e?

"Why don't you speak, is it because I said it!"

Xia Jing didn't let him go, as soon as she opened her mouth, she could tell that he was the mysterious man she met on the night she visited the palace.

It's just that tonight he didn't wear a night coat or a mask, so she saw his face, which was really fascinating!

Feng Zhang nodded along with her: "The girl is so smart, you guessed this matter, but I have been chasing Fairy Chang'e, but she has never accepted me, does the girl have a good plan to let the fairy accept me?" ”

Xia Jing sighed, bounced away the osmanthus that fell on his shoulder, and said with a little hatred: "Look at you, you take cutting down trees as your mission, but it's a pity that you are so dedicated to your post and love your industry, but the fairy doesn't like to smell the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and the smell of osmanthus around you has to make the fairy 108,000 miles away from you." ”

Feng Zhang glanced at Xia Jing a little uncertainly, looking at Xia Jing, who was not very bright, he suspected that there was something wrong with her brain.

But he still stayed away from the osmanthus tree and stood upwind of the osmanthus flower, "That's okay, right?" ”

Xia Jing nodded: "Well, yes, no matter how strong the wind is, I can fly you into the sky as a kite!" ”

Feng Zhang: "."

Xia Jing leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Hey, how old are you?" ”

Feng Zhang: "I don't know! ”

"Oh, you've been cutting down trees for years, you must be too old to even have a good memory!" Xia Jing shook her head, jumped up to the roof again.

Feng Zhang looked at the distant back and slapped his forehead suddenly, he hadn't figured out who this woman was? What does it look like?

"She escaped again!"
