Chapter 604: War Family Affairs
Hu Chai and his wife returned to the yamen of the governor of Liangjiang and told their daughter and Tao Ziyun about what they saw in Cangwu Mountain.
Tao Ziyun replied lightly: "The rebel army locked up those officials because they wanted the officers and soldiers to throw a rat into a trap, you don't have to worry, just forget if you can't find him." ”
Hu Chai said as relaxed as possible: "We are not in a hurry, but we will still look for opportunities, out of concern for my father-in-law, I still want to go to Cangwu Mountain with my wife to inquire about the situation." ”
"Okay, go ahead, just be careful. Tao Ziyun has no objection to this father-in-law's plan.
Next, Tao Ziyun continued to engage in disaster relief and dredging the canal, and Hu Chai and his wife went to Cangwu Mountain again.
Hu Chai and his wife arrived in the sky above the edge of Cangwu Mountain, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, there, there was a fierce battle between the officers and soldiers and the rebel army!
It seems that the generals of the rebel army have all descended the mountain to fight, but there are still not as many generals as officers and soldiers, and the generals of both sides are indistinguishable! Fortunately, the formation formed by the soldiers of the rebel army is magical, and the soldiers of the officers and soldiers are besieged with heavy casualties!
Finally, the officers and men sounded the gong and withdrew their troops.
Looking at the retreating officers and soldiers, there was a general of the rebel army, and said angrily: "If they have retreated after defeat, they should no longer come to attack us, I can't imagine that they are shameless and have been defeated again and again, which is really infuriating!"
Zhao Jinlong then said: "If we don't have a good fight with these officers and soldiers, it's better for us to change direction and attack other cities." ”
The generals of the rebel army applauded in approval!
Subsequently, Zhao Jinlong arranged: "Now the troops are divided into three routes, and Zhao Fucai will lead a group of men and horses to attack Changning." Zhao Wenfeng led a team to attack Guiyang, and I led a team to attack Xintian. The rest of the generals returned to Cangwu Mountain to transport grain and grass for us. In the meantime, I have to guard the cottage with my wife. ”
The men and horses who went out on the three routes were dispatched, and after the generals who stayed behind sent them off, they went back to the cottage to prepare grain and grass.
The three cities attacked by the three people, Xintian City attacked by Zhao Jinlong was the closest to Cangwu Mountain, and they were the first to approach the destination.
When Zhao Jinlong's team marched to the naked eye from Xintian City, they began to cautiously carry out Zhao Jinlong's combat deployment.
Their offensive goals. It is not the city gate and the tower that the officers and soldiers are preoccupied with guarding it, but the section of the city wall between the south gate and the west gate!
They select long, large, straight bamboos from the nearby bamboo forest. Chop it down and use it as a siege tool. The rebel soldiers who were in charge of taking the lead in attacking the city, each carrying a large bamboo, rushed to the bottom of the city wall without a sound, and then erected the bamboo pole to the side of the city wall. Climb up the bamboo pole!
The officers and soldiers guarding the walls finally discovered the actions of the rebels. One by one, they shouted, set up their bows and arrows, and shot at the rebels who climbed bamboo poles to attack the city!
The rebels who climbed the bamboo pole had already prepared, and made a spin on the bamboo pole to avoid the arrows that came from it!
The archers of the rebel army under the city lined up in several rows, taking turns to fight back at the officers and soldiers on the city wall, and rows of arrows rained down on the city wall. The officers and soldiers above had to hide behind the battlements to dodge!
Rebel soldiers climbing bamboo poles, along bamboo poles. He stepped onto the city wall one after another, took out the waist knife or long sword he was wearing, and stabbed at the officers and soldiers guarding the city wall! The one who took the lead was actually Zhao Jinlong!
Zhao Jinlong led people to kill all the way, followed the stairs leading to the city, went down to the city, and opened the gate of the city tower!
Zhao Jinlong shouted, and the rebel army outside the city poured into Xintian City from the city gate!
They went straight to the Xintian County Ya and arrested Wang Dingming, the magistrate of the county who was powerful in the court!
Because the rebels have done nothing wrong with the common people, and they have publicized the various aims and purposes of the rebel army to the ordinary people, saying that the rebels want to eliminate the hopeless corrupt officials and establish another credible institution. The feelings of serving the country and the people are moving.
As a result, there were many ordinary people who asked to join the rebel army, which was a good thing that could not be desired, and Zhao Jinlong naturally agreed. Some people exposed Wang Dingming's evil deeds to the rebel army, and at the request of many local people, the rebel army killed Wang Dingming!
Subsequently, Zhao Jinlong posted a notice announcing that the rebel army would take over Xintian City. At this point, the team led by Zhao Jinlong stayed in Xintian City to train recruits and manage Xintian City, and when the effect of rest came out, they attacked other cities.
Hu Chai also wanted to see the progress of the other two rebel armies attacking the city, this time, Li Shuishan did not agree: "The other two rebel armies, the place to attack is much farther than coming here, and when they attack the city, it will be tomorrow, and in the evening, we should go back to the Yamen of the Governor of Liangjiang." We might as well sneak into Cangwu Mountain, rely on the shelter of trees and bushes, approach the houses in it, and try to hear if we can hear my father's voice, and if we hear him in any house, we must find a way to get him out in advance no matter what. ”
Hu Chai listened to what his wife said, so he flew with her to the hinterland of Cangwu Mountain, approached the houses in between, and eavesdropped on the sounds in the house.
After all, Hu Chai was blindly looking for a target, and until the evening, they didn't hear a word from Hu Chai's father-in-law, so they had to fly to the Yamen of the Governor of Liangjiang with regret.
When they flew to the yamen of the governor of Liangjiang, it was already late at night, and Hu Chai still found Tao Ziyun and told him what he had seen and heard that day.
Early the next morning, Tao Ziyun took the officers and soldiers and the people to dredge the canal, and Hu Chai, who was too late to go to Cangwu Mountain, brought Lu Qing, the housekeeper of Shanyin Lu Mansion, over.
It turned out that Lu Qing was here to deliver the invitation, and he sent four copies at once.
Tao Ziyun opened it and looked at it, and immediately smiled: "The people of the Lu Mansion have seen too many people get married, and now they are finally going to have a happy event." ”
"This time, it was Lu Yi and Dai Zhi, the eldest prince of Lu, and two of them were friends of the eldest prince of Lu - Zeng Jianren and Feng Ligui, and they then got married, so they invited Master Tao to participate together. Lu Qing said respectfully to Tao Ziyun.
Tao Ziyun thought about it and nodded: "Well, it is written on the invitation that Lu Yi, Zeng Jianren, and Feng Ligui are married to Zhao Xingxi, Yuan Huafang, and Lao Hengcai respectively. When they dated the three girls, we thought that the foundation between them was not working, but we didn't expect that they would still get married. ”
Lu Qing carefully added to Tao Ziyun: "Zeng Jianren and Feng Ligui are good friends of Lu Dagongzi, and they also regard you as a good friend, Master Tao, and they especially instructed the younger one, let Master Tao, you must go to appreciate the light,......"
"Well, it's going to be a few days before the wedding is held, and I'll be sure to find time to get there. Tao Ziyun gave Lu Qing an affirmative answer.
"Master Tao, here's the thing, Dai Idiot and his fiancée, through the flying pigeon, negotiated the marriage, Dai Idiot took the servants in advance, divided into several carriages, and rushed to the order of things. Dai idiot means that you should also go back to the order of things, hold a wedding banquet for his fiancée, and then send them to San'in, and go to San'in to have a wedding banquet. Lu Qing explained to Tao Ziyun with difficulty, and Lu Qing had to work hard to persuade Tao Ziyun to help Dai Idiot handle his and Guo Yin's family affairs.
"Okay, let's go back to the order of things. Tao Ziyun finally agreed to Lu Qing's remarks, and said to Hu Chai: "Father-in-law, don't go to Cangwu Mountain in the near future, stay away from the war, and participate in family affairs, which are more intimate than wars." Father-in-law, can you persuade your mother-in-law to go back to the order together and hold a wedding for Guo Yin?"
Hu Chai was not easy to refuse, so he agreed casually, and then went back to the governor's yamen to persuade his wife to go. Seeing that the matter had been completed, Lu Qing said goodbye to Tao Ziyun and them, drove the carriage, and went back to Shanyin on a mission.
Tao Ziyun handed over the official affairs he wanted to handle to his master Wei Yuan on his behalf, so he gathered his wife, children, and Hu Chai and his wife, and flew straight to the order.
In the order of things, Dai Idiot had already arrived yesterday with a welcoming team.
Tao Ansai was taking the girls to prepare for tomorrow's farewell banquet, saying that the invitation had been sent out.
The next day, the wine delivery was carried out in a familiar way. Everyone's purpose is to make Guo Yin feel that she is the happiest person, this effect, it seems that they have done it, Guo Yin is not good at laughing, but her heart is sweeter than honey.
The day after the wedding wine was held, Tao Ziyun flew to Shanyin with the relatives and friends of Wu Xu, and the welcoming team brought by Dai Idiot. (To be continued......)
