Wei and Jin Cooks - Chapter 494
There were many corpses lying down at the city gate of Luoyang. A few birds landed on the corpses. When the scouts approached, they fluttered their wings and flew up, staying on the city wall, turning their heads and staring sharply at these sneaking people. Look.
The further we went in, the more uneasy the scouts felt.
When he was 100 meters away, Rao, a senior scout who had fought with Zhao Hanzhang several times, couldn’t help feeling chills in his heart.
The roads are full of dead bodies, and the shops and residences on both sides are silent. The whole city seems to be a dead city.
“How long…”
“Shut up, divide into two teams, one corporal, you and four of them go west to investigate, I will continue north, and come back once I find the enemy.”
“Yes!”
Half of the southern city was dead silent, and the scouts didn’t drive out until it was almost night. At this time, Ji Yuan had already brought people there and officially joined Zhao Erlang.
Zhao Erlang was afraid of Ji Yuan, and he was very depressed when he saw him. Why did he come so quickly, and he didn’t have time to enter the city to save the emperor.
Zhao Erlang, who wanted to make a contribution to his sister, was very depressed and complained about Xie, “I said earlier that I want to go into the city, but you must not allow it. Now that so many of us are here, the enemy in the city must have discovered us. “
Xie Shi said: “Erlang, don’t worry, I have already cleared the area from here to the southern city gate for 20 miles, and the enemy scouts will not be able to find out about us.”
Zhao Erlang hadn’t spoken yet, but Ji Yuan had already nodded his head approvingly, “Well done.”
He looked at Erlang and said gently: “Erlang, how can you take war for granted, and rush forward when you don’t know anything. If you encounter a trap, wouldn’t your life and the entire army be in danger?”
“But the emperor is still in the city, and my sister said she wants to save the emperor.”
“The emperor wants to save, but I think in the girl’s heart, Erlang must be more important than the emperor. How can he ignore his own safety just because he saves the emperor?”
Zhao Erlang thought for a while and felt that what he said made sense, “Sister does love me.”
Ji Yuan said: “Let’s wait for the scouts. If everything goes well, the girl should almost arrive.”
As soon as the voice fell, a soldier ran in to report, “Mr. Ji, you have sent your troops to twenty miles away.”
Ji Yuan’s eyes brightened, and he got up immediately, “Let’s go, let’s meet the girl.”
Someone else came to report, “Mr. Ji, the county governor, the scout sent out has returned.”
Ji Yuan couldn’t help laughing, “It’s just right.”
Zhao Hanzhang and the others hurried on the road, and finally reached the outskirts of Luoyang before the next day was completely dark.
There were many dead bodies on the road, birds were pecking, and when they heard the sound of horse hooves, they fluttered and flew high in fright. Zhao Hanzhang ran quickly, and they just flew over her head…
The wild dogs and wolves were so frightened that they ran around and slid into the woods.
Bei Gongchun and Fu Tinghan followed closely behind her, and the group saw Ji Yuan and others waiting in front with torches from a distance.
Zhao Hanzhang restrained his horse, dismounted and strode towards Jiyuan.
Zhao Erlang couldn’t hold back anymore, he jumped out from Ji Yuan’s side and ran towards Zhao Hanzhang, “Sister!”
Zhao Hanzhang saw Zhao Erlang clearly, raised his hand and rubbed his head, “It’s not summer yet, why are you so tanned?”
made her almost invisible.
Zhao Erlang said proudly: “Sister, I have killed all the bandits in Nanyang. Our population in Nanyang has increased by nearly 50,000.”
What does this show? It shows that bandits in Nanyang are rampant. What is there to be happy about? Xie Shi slandered beside him.
Zhao Hanzhang patted his shoulder happily, “Good job.”
She smiled and said, “Since the bandits are all wiped out, we should focus on production and construction, especially Nongsang. We must work harder.”
Zhao Erlang complied.
Zhao Hanzhang then looked at Ji Yuan and asked, “When did Mr. Ji arrive?”
“Kung fu with the front and back feet of the girl.”
Zhao Hanzhang knew that most of the soldiers he brought were infantry, so he was slower than her, so she didn’t mind. She asked Zeng Yue, Huang An and others to settle the soldiers first, and Fu Tinghan and Fu Tinghan went to the main tent first, and asked after sitting down, “Luoyang What’s the situation now?”
Zhao Erlang lowered his head and said in a depressed mood, “Sister, I haven’t had time to go in and save the emperor.”
Xie Shi said: “The scout who went to investigate has returned.”
We also caught three enemy scouts who came to scout, and the rest were all dead.
Zhao Hanzhang said: “Let our scout come up and talk back first.”
“Yes.”
“The south of the city is empty, there are only dead corpses, no sound of people is heard, and every door is open. It should be caused by the slaughter and looting of the rebel army.”
Zhao Hanzhang pursed his lips and asked, “How is the palace?”
“The enemy troops are all gathered at the gate of the palace,” the scout said, “There are about 20,000 people in two camps on the left and right.”
“Twenty thousand people?” Zhao Hanzhang frowned, “Didn’t it mean that Liu Cong brought 20,000 people and Wang Mi brought 30,000 people? Where are the rest?”
Ji Yuan and Xie Shi looked at each other and said nothing.
“Check!” Zhao Hanzhang said: “Find out the remaining 30,000 people.”
she asked, “Can the palace hold on?”
The scout said: “I have looked carefully at the palace wall. There are archers on the palace wall, and there are a lot of people. The palace gate is closed and there is no damage.”
Zhao Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, she looked up and looked outside, “It’s getting dark.”
Ji Yuan: “It should be fine tonight, but now that they have reached the gate of the palace, how can we save people?”
Zhao Hanzhang is also thinking: “How about the people in other parts of the city?”
“The door is closed, and the rank and file cannot be detected.”
Zhao Hanzhang said: “Pull up the captured enemy scouts.”
are two Han people, Zhao Hanzhang knew at a glance, “Are you from Wang Mi?”
The scout did not speak.
Zhao Hanzhang understood and asked, “Who will ask them for me?”
Immediately, one person came out and cupped his hands: “I would like to ask questions on behalf of the envoy.”
Zhao Hanzhang narrowed his eyes, “Yuan Li?”
“Yes!”
Zhao Hanzhang was silent for a while and then nodded: “Okay, take them down, don’t kill them.”
“Yes.”
Yuan Li immediately had the two of them dragged down, and he followed him out. After a while, screams were heard outside.
Zhao Hanzhang turned a deaf ear and said to Xie Shi: “Buy the pot and make rice. From yesterday to today, we have been busy all day, and the soldiers are all sleepy, so let them feed the horses too.”
Xie Shi bowed and replied, “Yes.”
Fu Tinghan also got up, “I’m going to see the logistics.”
Zhao Hanzhang nodded, “I am afraid that the battle of Luoyang will be difficult to resolve quickly, we must ensure that there is sufficient food and grass.”
Fu Tinghan understood, “I will figure it out as soon as possible. At that time, Mr. Ji will need to raise food and grass.”
Ji Yuan said that there is no problem.
Fu Tinghan turned around and went out, seeing Yuan Li in execution, he frowned, turned his head away without looking, and turned to leave.
Yuan Li just turned around and saw Fu Tinghan, he wiped the blood on his face, and felt the smell of iron in his mouth, so he spat on the ground, took out a knife, and said to the two scouts. : “Do you know what this is?”
“This is the knife I use for self-defense. Once I accidentally stabbed my fingernail into my fingernail and I was in pain. Only then did I know that the knife has such a use…”
Fu An followed Fu Tinghan closely and couldn’t help complaining: “Langjun, that Yuanli is disrespectful to you, why does the girl still use him?”
