Volume 2 The Rivers and Lakes in the Temple and Outside the Temple Chapter 108 Seeking War (2)
Seeking War (2)
The next day, the first rays of sunlight appeared on the mountain, and Jiang Ming woke up.
He felt a little heavy on his stomach, and when he looked down, Xu Changan had one leg pressed against him. The camp tent was full of the smell of wine, the documents on the table were scattered all over the ground, Xu Changan was untidy, he was sleeping, and there was a trace of saliva hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Ming gently pushed Xu Changan's leg away and walked out, the sun was shining.
The recent grain and grass were all transferred by Xu Changan directly from Shuofang, even if so, no one could withstand staying here for too long.
The morning wind was a little cool, Jiang Ming tightened his clothes, found a small mountain bag, and sat down.
Looking up, the big banner of the word "Yue" on the opposite side was fluttering in the wind, Jiang Ming looked around at no one, hugged his legs, and stared at the city.
It was only at this time that he remembered that he was only an eighteen-year-old boy under many names.
A hand reached out behind him and draped him over a robe.
He was a little moved, but he saw Xu Changan's smiling face.
"Did you think that some girl secretly promised to care about you, but she was disappointed to see me?"
Jiang Ming snorted coldly and shrugged his shoulders, and the robe draped over his shoulders fell to the ground.
Xu Changan was not annoyed, picked it up, took down the long sword on his back, and wrapped it in another layer.
"This is my brother, and he would rather me be cold than let it be cold. Xu Changan was already wearing a robe, and he was trembling.
A cool breeze blew, Jiang Ming had just woken up, his body was cold, and he shivered when he was blown away.
"Take it off, give it to Lao Tzu, put it on!" Jiang Ming gritted his teeth and said these words.
......
Suddenly, there was a commotion from the rear, and the two of them turned their heads at the same time, and there was a black pressure in the rear, like a tumbling dark cloud, Jiang Ming stood up suddenly, looked into the distance, and asked in disbelief: "Enemy attack?"
Xu Changan also stood up and withdrew his hippie smile.
They had run out of food and grass, and they wanted to withdraw their troops, but if an enemy really attacked from the rear, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xu Changan looked into the distance, since he hit Yunmeng Mountain, although the key is still sealed, but after a certain degree of purification, his eyes are clear, and his vision is farther than others.
Even Jiang Ming, who is now a little grandmaster, is comparable to Xu Changan today.
"Refugees?" both said at the same time, with a hint of surprise in their words.
Jiang Ming glanced at Xu Changan in surprise and didn't ask more.
After Xu Changan and Jiang Ming confirmed that the people who came towards Nanfeng City were all unarmed refugees, their hearts relaxed.
However, Jiang Ming's eyes kept looking at the refugees like dark clouds, and the preliminary estimate was that there were about several hundred.
Jiang Ming and Xu Changan's figures flashed, and they immediately ran back to the camp.
Jiang Ming immediately commanded everyone to prepare a defensive posture at this time, and instructed everyone not to harm the refugees, and ordered all the spear heads to be removed.
A series of orders came out of Jiang Ming's mouth, Xu Changan looked at him blankly, where was Jiang Ming at this time still the boy who was just sitting on the mountain bag with his legs crossed?
Jiang Ming finally made the arrangements, even if there were refugees breaking into the camp, he could guarantee that nothing would go wrong.
All his arrangements were for the refugees to break into the camp. He had always felt that all arrangements should be arranged with the worst-case scenario in mind, so that he could not be in danger.
But what Xu Changan and he didn't expect was that the group of refugees directly skipped their camps, they were wearing tattered clothes, their faces were covered with mud, and many of them were already hungry.
Xu Changan and Jiang Ming watched this group of refugees skip the camp and run towards Nanfeng, their hearts full of doubts.
Seeing that the refugees ignored them, the two of them immediately ran to a high place and watched the group of refugees from a distance.
I saw that the group of refugees ran towards Nanfeng City, and they kept chanting something, and it could be seen that they were very excited.
The gate of Nanfeng City slowly opened, and a team of elites cautiously poked their heads out, and they immediately escorted the refugees into the city.
When Xu Changan saw this scene, he immediately asked, "Do you want to send someone to try?"
When Jiang Ming saw this scene, his face was also full of doubts, and finally he slowly shook his head.
"Forget it, we will withdraw to peace tomorrow. ”
Xu Changan was stunned for a moment, and pointed to himself: "I will also follow you to Anhe?"
Jiang Ming glanced at him and said slowly: "After Li Xiaocun returned to Chang'an, he told the story of the war in detail, and the Holy Emperor knew the situation here and sent someone to send a batch of grain and grass over. ”
Xu Changan stared at him twice, and then said: "Do you have paste in your head? If you want to return my grain and grass, I will send someone directly or I will send someone to Shuofang, and you will let a marshal of the dignified Western Route Army escort the grain and grass? Will the soldiers in charge of the escort protect the grain and grass? Or protect me?"
Jiang Ming's face was expressionless, ignoring Xu Changan, and walked out.
"Someone wants to meet you, and it's said that he has a close relationship with one of your old friends. ”
Xu Changan was stunned for a moment: "The old man, is it still very related?" He touched his head, it seemed that he could only go with Jiang Ming once, anyway, Shuofang was guarded by an old military doctor, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.
As long as the old military doctor is not transferred away for a day and does not take the initiative to attack for a day, Chuijiang and Shuo will be safe and sound.
In that case, let's meet this mysterious man.
......
When they returned to Anhe, a middle-aged man stood at the gate of the city.
Xu Changan looked at it from a distance, and there was a familiar feeling in the eyebrows and eyes of the smiling middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man nodded towards Jiang Ming, and then turned to Xu Changan.
smiled slightly, clasped his hands into fists and thanked him: "The trip to the Northern Barbarians is in a hurry, and I will have time to see the prince in the future." If the prince knew what the prince had done, he would have been deeply comforted. ”
Xu Changan was stunned for a moment, a little surprised in his heart, and then asked cautiously: "You see my father?"
The middle-aged man nodded: "I am Chen Ping, the grain delivery officer of the Xu family's army, and I personally witnessed the prince and the Holy Emperor conquering the four seas and establishing this huge dynasty!"
Xu Changan immediately helped him up, hugged his hands excitedly and asked, "Then do you know where my father went?
Chen Ping thought carefully and finally shook his head.
"Since the world was pacified, the last general has never seen the prince, but there is a gentleman surnamed Shi by his side. ”
Xu Changan let go of him, his eyes were full of apologies, for his gaffe.
Chen Ping patted him lightly on the shoulder, sighed and said, "Don't worry about the prince, a character like the prince, when the time comes, he will naturally appear." ”
Jiang Ming looked at the two of them, patted his head, and then said, "Why don't you just stand here and talk, let's go in and talk about it." ”
So saying, the three of them entered the city.
Anhe is not big, but like Shuofang, it has become a military town.
I don't know if the Holy Emperor knew in advance that Yuezhou would rebel, so he built three important military towns on its side.
After some arrangements and repairs, Jiang Ming took Xu Changan and Chen Ping into Anhe's General's Mansion and sat down in a divided manner.
Chen Ping took a deep breath, clasped his hands into fists and said: "The last general, Chen Ping, came to deliver grain by the order of the Holy Emperor, and now the carts, horses, grain and grass are all in the city, I don't know where the marshal wants to put the grain and grass?"
Jiang Ming thought for a while, and slowly spit out three words in his mouth: "Sifang Mountain." ”
Not only Chen Ping was surprised, but even Xu Changan was surprised.
The granary of this Sifang Mountain was attacked by Liu Chenglang, so he placed grain and grass on the Sifang Mountain again, wouldn't it......
Jiang Ming smiled mysteriously: "Fiction is real, reality is fiction, Liu Chenglang will definitely not guess, and we only saw a group of refugees entering Nanfeng not long ago, it is estimated that it is enough for him to be busy for a while." ”
When Chen Ping heard the word "refugee", he kept repeating it in his mouth, as if he was thinking.
Suddenly, his face was full of joy, and he slapped the table and laughed: "I know!"
Looking at the eyes of Xu Changan and Jiang Ming, he said slowly: "On the way to come, I received the news that He Jiangqiao, the righteous son of He Huiming, the ancestor of the He family, defected into Vietnam, I have been thinking, what do you want a deputy capital Yushi to do in this Yuedi, and now I can finally guess one or two points." ”
The more he explained, the more confused Xu Changan and Jiang Ming became.
Chen Ping stroked his carefully trimmed beard, and then said slowly: "The two marshals don't know, this He Jiangqiao is a person who can excel, especially in dealing with internal affairs, if it weren't for his identity as the righteous son of the He family, how could he be just a deputy capital with no real power?"
"If he is born in white, the worst is one of the six Shangshu!"
Jiang Ming nodded slowly: "So, there is a problem within Yuezhou?"
Chen Ping stood up and looked at the two young marshals.
"Think about it carefully, the Han family is quite serious in leviing taxes in Vietnam, and only people fled before, how can there be refugees pouring in now?"
Jiang Ming's eyes lit up before he wanted to speak, and another voice sounded: "The people are complaining, and I am afraid that there will be a civil uprising, so this is acting?"
Chen Ping glanced at Xu Changan in surprise, nodded and said: "Now that the war is in turmoil, the soldiers are coming to the city, and the city must be closed, and they let the refugees in, just to tell the people that the world outside is not good, and they use it to appease the people." ”
Xu Changan took a breath of cool air: "The scheming is really deep!" and then immediately asked: "Is there any solution then?"
Chen Ping shook his head and said: "The last general's ability is limited, and it is a great fortune to be able to help the two marshals, where is there any way." ”
Xu Changan had to look at Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming also shook his head: "I can only watch them for the time being, if I rashly stop the 'refugees', it will help them even more." ”
Chen Ping nodded: "What the marshal said is right, no matter how realistic the play is, it is a play after all, and when it is recognized, it will be self-defeating." ”
March is coming, asking for all kinds of tickets.
