Chapter 380: The Situation Is Grim
After dinner, Shen Hongjun and the others had to go back to the camp. Recently, there have been frequent people coming here on the other side, and they have come over, and they would rather be arrested than go back. Shen Hongjun faintly felt that things were not optimistic, and sent out a few soldiers who could speak more or less Gao Li, and the other side of the Daojiang River inquired about the news, but he still hasn't come back.
What everyone can do now is to strengthen precautions and send people to patrol every night. However, the distance between villages is not short, and there are not enough soldiers stationed there, so there will always be omissions, and maybe someone will sneak over. Now the villages have also sent people to start patrolling, so that even if a few come running occasionally, they will be discovered by the people in the village, and there will not be too much chaos.
"Xue'er, you don't have to think about anything, just be at home with peace of mind. Now that the weather is getting colder, I can't tell if it's going to snow someday. Don't go anywhere, just stay at home, it's too chaotic now. Shen Hongjun instructed Yun Xue before going out.
"Well, I see, you have to be careful yourself. Now that the weather is getting colder, you should pay attention to keeping warm at night. Yun Xue was a little reluctant to let Shen Hongjun go, she was now more and more dependent on Shen Hongjun, and every few days apart, she would miss him. Yun Xue saw that although Shen Hongjun was wearing a cloak, he was not wearing cotton clothes, and thought that he would make cotton clothes for him as soon as possible, so as to save him from freezing.
In terms of Shen Hongjun's identity, these things should be indispensable, and Yun Xue also understands it, but she just can't help but want to make clothes for Shen Hongjun herself. Maybe this is a woman in love, always hoping that every stitch in her sweetheart comes from her own hands.
Shen Hongjun left Yun Zhen behind and let him stay at home for one night. After all, Yun Zhen has just gotten married, and the newlywed Yan'er can't let their young husband and wife always separate. "Go back to camp tomorrow morning, and come back in ten days." Shen Hongjun said to Yun Zhen.
"General Xie." Yun Zhen replied with joy.
Shen Liang accompanied Shen Hongjun to leave the Han family and walked towards the camp.
Yun Xue and the others sent Shen Hongjun away, so they hurriedly plugged the door, and then went back to the house. Yun Zhen is at home today, and Jinxiu naturally doesn't have to live with Yun Xue and them. So, the little couple returned to the east wing with a red face amid everyone's laughter.
When he entered the house, Yun Zhen hugged Jinxiu all of a sudden, "Living outside these days, I feel that life is really difficult." Yun Zhen hugged Jinxiu tightly and muttered in her ear. That group of big men, one by one, slept dishonestly at night, and snoring loudly. I can't sleep at night, and I miss you the most. ”
Jinxiu was held in Yun Zhen's arms, and couldn't help blushing and heartbeating. Three days after the two of them got married, Yun Zhen went back to the barracks, and today was the first time he came back. Xiao Bie is newlywed, not to mention that the two of them were originally newly married. Jinxiu was also thinking about Yun Zhen in her heart, and at this time, she snuggled in Yun Zhen's arms, which was naturally infinitely tender.
"I miss you too, I lived in this house by myself at first, and I felt scared at night. Later, the eldest sister called me into their house, and I was better. But I miss you so much. Jinxiu reached out and hugged Yun Zhen's waist, buried her face in his chest and said.
Yun Zhen was a little excited for a while, bent down to pick up Jinxiu, and hugged her to the kang.
Jinxiu was still a little shy, "Hey, don't mess around." The little blushed like fire.
"Shhhhh Yun Zhen said softly.
On the first day of October, the people sent by Yunlin to Anton returned. At the same time, he also brought news, saying that he also encountered Gao Li people crossing the border along the way. Shen Hongjun only led troops to garrison the section from Linjiang to Changbai County, and did not send troops to garrison other places. Because the water surface of the lower reaches of the Yalu River is open, the river water is also quite deep, unlike the upstream, and you can come by wading. So I didn't take too much precautions at that time, after all, it was just to prevent the other side from stealing food.
Nowadays, many people on the other side of the river do not care about the depth of the river or the cold water temperature, and many of them find a way to start running to the other side of the river. They usually set up wooden rafts and sneak to the opposite bank. Of course, this method may not all be useful, many people are buried at the bottom of the river like this, but it can't stop them from wanting to escape, so there are still many people sneaking over.
"Childe, we came all the way back, from Linjiang to the downstream, many villages were harassed by Gao Li's people. Many Gao Li people entered the village, even smuggled and robbed, and some stole a lot of food, and then hid. If there is such a trouble, the life of the people will be sad again. Among the people who came back, the leader said to Yunlin.
When Yun Lin heard this, he immediately stood up, "Let's go, accompany me to find my cousin, this matter has to be done by him to come forward to the court." It seems that the imperial court is bound to send troops to garrison all parts of the river, otherwise it will be difficult for this side to settle down, and the people's lives will be unstable. ”
Yun Lin talked to Yun Xue for a while, and then took someone out to find Shen Hongjun.
It just so happened that Shen Hongjun had just returned from elsewhere and was sitting in his room talking to a few generals. Seeing that someone was leading Yun Lin in, he knew that Yun Lin had something to look for him, so he let those generals go out.
"Why do you have time to come to me today?" Shen Hongjun asked Yunlin to sit down, and then asked.
"Cousin, the person I sent to Anton has returned, saying that the situation outside is not very good. I'll come and see if there's anything I can do to help you. Yun Lin sat on the chair and looked at Shen Hongjun. I'm afraid this matter is not small, Dongyi is attacking Gao Li at this time, and the plan is not small. ”
"Well, the guy I sent out to inquire has also returned. The news they brought back was that in August, Dongyi began to attack Gaoli. This time, Dongyi sent a lot of troops, about 100,000 people, so they quickly captured most of Gaoli's territory. At this time, the capital of Gaoli has been captured, and it is coming north little by little. ”
"Gao Li's new king was covered by some people and fled, but it is unknown where he went. The rest of the officials and others also fled in all directions, without the backbone, and the cities everywhere also had no intention of resisting. Dongyi's army successfully captured many places. It seems that it will not take more than a month to reach the riverside. Shen Hongjun said that he also had a headache.
Gao Li was not very big, and the attack of the Dongyi people did not meet the stubborn resistance of the Gao Li court. On the contrary, it was Gao Li's people who rose up to resist when the Dongyi people attacked. In some places, even if the city is captured, the resistance of the people is greater than the loss of the siege. That's why it delayed the pace of Dongyi's attack to the north. But without the leadership of the imperial court, it is still not possible to rely on the people alone. Therefore, Dongyi's army is still coming north.
"I've written to the court asking for reinforcements. However, the villages along the river are scattered, and the troops are also scattered, which is not the best policy. Once the Dongyi army attacks, there are only a few hundred people, and it will not be used at all. Shen Hongjun said worriedly. However, at this time, the situation was unclear, and the imperial court may not be willing to send troops. Even if you really send troops, it's only one or two thousand people, so you may not be able to use it. ”
"Cousin, do you want me to help with this?" Yun Lin pondered for a long time before he said. "Otherwise, I'll send someone back to deliver the letter, it's better to just wait passively."
"Your current identity is too implicated, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it, and it's not easy to directly meddle in these things. I think it's up to me to do it. Shen Hongjun shook his head, not intending to let Yunlin interfere. Listen to my advice, take someone back to Beijing quickly, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous here. You are my aunt's only son, and you can't afford to miss anything. ”
"When I came back, I just wanted to stay at home for a while longer, and then take all my family to the capital. Now that these things have happened, the eldest sister won't go with me at all. Cousin, I'm reluctant to leave here. Yunlin was very embarrassed.
"Whether you want to give it up or not, you have to go. In case of a sudden war, if you make a mistake, what will you do with your aunt? You are my aunt's only support, she is not in good health now, if you have anything to do with it, she is afraid that it will be even worse. Shen Hongjun looked at Yunlin very seriously, "You know your identity yourself, and you have a lot to do with you." Your aunt and uncle value you and have high hopes for you, so don't let them down. ”
Yun Lin was silent, and only breathed a sigh of relief after a while, "Cousin, you just let me stay here for a few more days." Didn't you say that it would take a month for Dongyi's army to get here? Then I still have time, and I want to spend a few more days with my family. ”
Shen Hongjun looked at Yun Lin's eyes full of hope, but he had to be ruthless. "I'm afraid this won't work, since I learned that the situation here is not good, I sent someone back to Beijing to report the news. My aunt had already received the news at this time, and maybe someone would pick you up in the next few days. When someone from the capital comes, you can go back, this is not the place you should be after all. ”
Yun Lin was a little frustrated, "Cousin, did you say that I would have a chance to come back in the future?" ”
"I don't know about this, but I will take the Han family to the capital. Although it will not work for the time being, I will take them into Beijing with me when there is a result of this matter. It would be good for you to reunite in the capital at that time, so you don't need to worry about this. Shen Hongjun was also a little uncomfortable when he saw Yun Lin like this, so he said his plan very surely, which could be regarded as a reassurance for Yun Lin.
"Yunlin, my cousin advises you, no matter how reluctant you are to the Han family, don't show it in front of your uncle. After all, you are not a child of the Han family, and your uncle will not like you to have too close contact with the Han family. If you are always like this, I am afraid that in the future, there will be trouble. Shen Hongjun couldn't help but persuade a few more words.
Yun Lin's expression was even more obscure, "Cousin, I know this. After returning to Beijing, I didn't dare to mention the Han family, and I just sent someone to send something inconsequential. But the Han family has raised me for more than ten years, how can I forget the love of these ten years? This time, I was willful, begging my mother so hard that I could come back once. Later, I will remember. "After dinner, Shen Hongjun and the others have to go back to the camp. Recently, there have been frequent people coming here on the other side, and they have come over, and they would rather be arrested than go back. Shen Hongjun faintly felt that things were not optimistic, and sent out a few soldiers who could speak more or less Gao Li, and the other side of the Daojiang River inquired about the news, but he still hasn't come back.
