Chapter 1088 Local

Helan Mountain, Rolling Bell Mouth.

The vegetation in the forest swayed, Wang Mancang poked his head out, and raised his binoculars to look down the mountain at Xingqing Fucheng.

When he saw a dragon flag flying over the city, he was refreshed.

Turning around and looking around, I saw the ants-like Yuan army surrounding the city and building an embankment...

After watching like this for a while, Wang Mancang understood what Yuan Jun was doing. He took a piece of hay and bit it in his mouth, and retreated into the forest.

It didn't take long before he got together with a few of his subordinates and used some dry food to escape the most sinister daylight in mid-July.

"Team Zheng, where is that?" A soldier pointed to a high platform in the distant mountains and asked, "Don't tell me the Yuan army's scout horse is over there."

Wang Mancang glanced up and said, "Princess Terrace."

"What princess platform?"

"In the past, when the Mongols attacked Xingqing Mansion, they built dikes outside the city, surrounded the city like a barrel, dug the Yellow River, and soaked the city with water. From September to December, it seemed that the The Xingying Mansion was collapsed. As a result, the Mongols’ own flood embankment collapsed, and all the weapons, food and grass were swept away by the Yellow River. Then they agreed to Xixia’s peace request. The Xixia Emperor sacrificed his daughter.”

This Wang Mancang usually tells stories about meat and vegetables, but today he didn't talk about the princess of Xixia anymore, pointed to the princess platform in the distance, and continued: "Later, the Mongols attacked Xixia again, and Tiemu It’s really good to die, leaving a will to kill all Xixia people. This Xixia princess was also with the army at the time, so she lived in seclusion there, shaved her hair and became a nun, helping Xixia people escape the Mongolian army.”

"Captain, how do you know so many stories about Xi Xia?"

Immediately, a soldier responded on Wang Mancang's behalf: "You don't understand this, do you? Our captain's salary is all used to find women in Xingqing Mansion."

"Shut up you guys."

"No, I think the team is looking for a Xixia nun? Every time I tell a story, there is a Xixia nun. I am afraid that the salary is used as incense money."

"Don't talk nonsense, our team can do this kind of thing? Is he still human?"

Wang Mancang picked up the straw again, patted the soldier casually, and cursed: "You are not a mother. Go, go back and report to General Yang. Don't talk on the way, in case you meet the Yuan army."

"I still want to hear about adultery."

"Tell me a fart, and ask General Yang to give me a good beating..."

A few soldiers of the Tang army quietly turned down from the west side of Helan Mountain, mounted their horses quietly in the dark night, and ran for more than [-] miles in the wilderness to the west, before arriving at the station on the edge of the desert before dawn.

Yang Ben was sitting in the tent, listening to the report from the explorer, and drawing a map with his own hands.

"General."

"I'm back." Yang Ben turned his head to see Wang Mancang, nodded, and said, "Speak."

He is full of rotten problems, and he only treats people well, even if he hates anyone, he will not take the opportunity to embarrass him, but no matter how much he likes anyone, he will not give preferential treatment.

Because he had suffered in the Lu family's army, what he valued most was fairness.

Therefore, even though Wang Mancang was taught a lesson last time, Yang Ben seemed to have forgotten about it afterwards, and neither comforted nor made things difficult afterwards.

This made Wang Mancang feel that the general had a weird temper every time he saw Yang Ben.

In short, he went forward and reported the situation that he found out one by one. At the end, he made a plan and said: "General, the Yuan army surrounded His Majesty to attack with water, should we go to rescue His Majesty?"

Yang Ben acted as if he hadn't heard, took out a piece of paper, wrote a letter, turned his head and asked, "I sent you to meet His Majesty, and report the great achievements in annihilating Dong Wenbing, do you dare to go?"

"Enter Xingqing Mansion?!"

"Don't you dare?"

"Thank you, General." Wang Mancang clasped his fists together and said loudly, "There is no place I dare not go to."

Yang Ben frowned again, obviously he didn't like this subordinate, his face darkened, and he said, "Be serious."

"Yes!"

"Remember, the war situation in the world is to regain Hetao, and the battle situation in Hetao is to fight the battle of Xingqing Mansion, and in the battle of Xingqing Mansion, the chance of victory has appeared, that is, I have defeated Dong Wenbing and captured half of his troops, but Tachaer didn't know. Now, I entrust the chance of victory to your hands, and you will bring it to His Majesty. Can you bear this burden?"

Wang Mancang stared blankly at the beard on Yang Ben's face, thinking of what he was talking about a while ago about the emperor of Xixia having an affair with a widow, he couldn't believe that the general could entrust him with such an errand.

It can be seen that the general also understands, what's the point of talking dirty...

Half a day later, after a rest, Wang Mancang, who was ready, took his small team east again, and was about to cross the encirclement line of the Yuan army and enter Xingqing Mansion.

And Yang Ben had already made arrangements, and soon, the cavalry leading him disappeared into the long yellow sand again.

~~
This night is the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the Hungry Ghost Festival.

In a posthouse not far from Liangzhou City, Yan Yunyun, who was temporarily staying overnight on the way, heard the sound of the door being pushed, turned his head to look, and saw Han Wufei sitting in a wheelchair being pushed by someone, followed by Hao Xiuyang, Asha quiet and nice.

"You know, it's scary for you to come here on Ghost Festival."

Han Wufei opened his mouth, but was unable to speak.

Hao Xiuyang smiled and said: "There is an old Taoist, so you don't have to be afraid of Mr. Yan."

When they got close, Yan Yunyun saw clearly that Han Wufei's face was covered with bruises, his nose was completely bruised and his face was swollen, so he shook his head involuntarily.

Hao Xiuyang sighed again: "Don't blame him, Li Bing, those soldiers, and you are still alive, it's all thanks to him doing it right now."

"Where is the real gold man?"

"I don't know. But there is an urgent message from the Shixiazi Great Wall Garrison that our army has wiped out Dong Wenbing's troops."

"Really?"

"I don't dare to come to see you if you're not really an old Taoist." Hao Xiuyang smiled, patted Han Wufei's shoulder, and said: "You official, you know how to give up and get it. If you don't want it, why don't you give it to the old Taoist?" Be a disciple."

Yan Yunyun agreed with Hao Xiuyang's words.

She saw very early on that Han Wufei had a detached heart, and if he married her, he would not be confused by the words of the world.

When he met the enemy in Qilian Mountain, because she was awake, he followed her arrangement; when he met the enemy in Shangchuan Town, because she was unconscious, he made a decisive decision.

Regarding the two matters of bringing back Basiba and sending away the real gold, although Han Wufei was still reticent, Yan Yunyun could feel his love for her.

After everyone left, she stepped forward to help Han Wufei to sit down and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Are you well?"

"All right."

"I'm fine. Seeing Yuan Jun catching up, I dropped the real gold, jumped to the mountain stream, fell down, and was found after two days. The person you captured so hard was lost by me like this ..."

"Officer." Yan Yunyun shook his hand and said, "I've been thinking about one thing these days."

"what?"

"I was thinking, among those men who liked me, I chose the most extraordinary one."

Han Wufei was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer. After a while, he said, "I have studied medicine for more than [-] years, and my medical skills are very poor. I can't cure your illness. I broke my leg and couldn't cure it even in the mountain stream... ..."

For Han Wufei, who is not very capable and is traveling with his wife for the first time, he thinks that he must have made a mistake on this trip.

It can be said that it is a serious crime to let go of real gold.

Presumably Zhenjin felt the same way when he lost Ba Siba in Riyue Mountain. Han Wufei felt that his mistake was more serious.

But fortunately, his mistakes have been made up for and tolerated.So I breathed a sigh of relief, and my mentality improved, and I learned lessons and gained benefits.

"Madam must never say that I am extraordinary. My talent is extremely poor, but it is my luck." Han Wufei commented on himself in this way, and added a sweet saying at the end, "I am very lucky to be favored by Madam. "

He is clearly more confident.

……

In the next few days, Hao Xiuyang was nothing more than arguing with Ba Siba every day, and Yan Yunyun soon became busy after recovering from a serious illness.

They took a rest in Liangzhou, restocked their money and goods, and prepared to go to Xining Prefecture to continue their unfinished errands and contact the Tubo tribes.

Compared to the beginning, they lost a lot, but they are more confident, because this time they still have Basiba in their hands.

The trip will take place only after the war on the shore of Qinghai Lake comes to an end.

Somewhat unexpectedly, news came from Song He that Cui Bin, the Zhenfu general in front of Zhenjin's account, intends to surrender.

When the news arrived at the Liangzhou government office, all civil and military personnel became embarrassed.

"What does Cui Bin mean? As long as His Majesty promises, will he lead his troops to surrender?"

"Yes."

"What's the difficulty? General Song can send a letter to ask His Majesty."

"The difficulty is that Xingqing Mansion is surrounded by the Yuan army. General Song is still sending people to break through the siege to deliver the letter. At the same time, he is also afraid that Cui Bin and Brother Zhao will get the news and cause another disturbance."

"There will be no waves of rebirth." Yan Yunyun pondered: "But it is inevitable to wait and see... The surrender of Tubo has already begun, and when Tacha'er's [-] army came, it was a little delayed. In this way, I will immediately enter Hehuang again , hold them steady."

A group of Liangzhou officials looked at Yan Yunyun, and only then secretly admired him.

As an ordinary official, there is no need to go to Hehuang first at this time. If His Majesty loses in Xingqing Mansion, he will easily encounter danger again.It can be seen from this that Yan Shangshu has absolute confidence in His Majesty.

Maybe the founders of the country do things so recklessly...

~~
Time shifted from mid-July to late, and the situation in northern Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, and the Western Regions obviously had its own changes.

Taken individually, the situation appears to be quite peaceful.

In Ansai City and Xiazhou, brothers Yang Wen'an and Yang Wenzhong felt that Zhang Jue's attack was not violent;

In Xingqing Mansion, Tacha'er's [-] troops surrounded Li Xia and Li Zengbo, and they were already able to "kill them with time";
In Qinghai, although Cui Bin and Zhao Ageben wanted to join Xintang, they were still hesitant and wanted to see the progress of the situation;

In the Western Regions, the main force of the Yuan army may be destroying Gaochang City...

Only when some people look at all these together, can they see that the Yuan army's military deployment has been interrupted, and it cannot be smoothly connected...
