I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 733 The Silent Gaze

The prairie army attacked in two ways. Li Yongyan was guarding Shuozhou. He stood on the city wall and looked at the white grassland.

Patriarch Li also rushed over from Jingzhou. Patriarch Li was wearing a thick cloak, no matter how strong the cold wind was, he didn't feel cold. When he saw his son put down the binoculars, he stretched out his hand to take it, and saw a vast expanse of whiteness.

Li Yongyan frowned, "Father, according to the speed of the prairie cavalry, they should have arrived, but the scouts sent out didn't find anything."

Patriarch Li touched his chin, "It seems that one of the two armies is false, and the real goal is Rongzhou."

Shuozhou has always been a border fortress, and the defense facilities of the border town are complete. Shuozhou soldiers have fulfilled their experience on the grasslands. On the contrary, Rongzhou is a newly built state city, and Hulechi thinks Rongzhou is easier to succeed.

Li Yongyan twitched the corners of his mouth, "The emperor spent so much effort to build Rongzhou, Rongzhou is not a soft persimmon."

Patriarch Li stroked his beard, "Just to test the loyalty of the surrendered tribe."

Li Yongyan hummed, he looked into the distance and talked about the Northern Expedition, "The speed of the Northern Expedition exceeded my expectations."

The head of the Li family was even more surprised, "The emperor actually has a secret road leading to Binzhou, and the combination of this hand and the outside world is very beautiful."

Li Yongyan, "That's right, Zhang Min didn't dare to use the southern soldiers to instigate the defection of the southern soldiers."

The head of the Li family sneered, "Zhang Min is short of food and grass, he doesn't trust the southern soldiers, his officials will definitely withhold the southern soldiers' food and grass, and the originally loyal soldiers will also feel resentful, just watch, the southern soldiers will defect for the second time .”

There was another defection, and the southern soldiers gathered by Zhang Min were completely abolished. It was really beautiful to sow dissension.

Li Yongyan lowered his voice, "The emperor's scheming makes people fearful."

The head of the Li family can take it easy, "As long as the emperor has a heart and our Li family is honest, the emperor will not treat the Li family badly."

Li Yongyan smiled, and the wind became stronger at this time, "Father, let's go down the city wall."

The owner of the Li family hummed, "Recently, more people have been sent to watch the grassland. We also need to prevent the two armies of Hu Lechi from being real."

Li Yongyan, "Yes."

At this time, in Rongzhou City, due to the changes in the grassland, the schools in the city were closed, and the villages were under martial law. All the livestock were raised in captivity, fed with hay every day, and the villagers were not allowed to leave the village.

Soldiers from various tribes are also participating in the battle and are patrolling around the state city.

Xiao Ma already got the list of spies in his hand, he didn't kill the others immediately, he wanted to see how many people would jump out.

Hulechina did not personally lead the army to attack Rongzhou, he was in another army.

This time, Hulechina is waiting, waiting for a snowstorm. According to the news from the weather forecast, there will be a heavy snowfall in the near future.

In Hulechina's camp, in front of him was a bowl of broth, which was quite large, but the pancakes in his hand were only the size of a palm, and the leader didn't have much food, let alone the soldiers and clansmen.

So this time the food grab must be successful. After drinking the broth, Hule China read the letters sent by the Warin tribe. The life in the grassland is not easy, and the life of the tribes in the northeast is also sad.

Although the tribes in the Northeast occupied a lot of land, the people in the Northeast fled to death after the war, and there were not many people farming, so the tribes in the Northeast didn't get much food.

After reading the letter, Hule China sneered, "He even borrowed food from me."

He is still short of food, if he can't get enough food this winter, the grassland tribes will definitely fall apart, and some tribes will even regret that they broke off cooperation with Yang Xixuan, and what's more, they will seek refuge with Yang Xixuan.

Hulechi's grassland, which was finally unified, will be difficult to reunify once it falls apart.

The cold wind blew the tent, Hu Lechi shivered from the cold, and then thought of the sweater and trousers made of wool, Hu Lechi's face became more and more gloomy.

He has sold cheap wool for many years, but he has never seen Yang Xixuan use the wool. He also thought that Yang Xixuan was trying to win him over. Now that his face was swollen from the beating, Yang Xixuan laughed at him privately.

The change in the grassland was not kept secret, and Zhang Min, who was always paying attention, got the news first, and Zhang Min's gloomy face rarely had a smile.

Zhang Min had high expectations for Hulechina, and he waited for the return of the Northern Expeditionary Army because of the tyrannical forces in the grassland.

Zhang Min was in a good mood, and the officials under him were rarely relaxed. Even if the shadow of death from typhoid fever persisted, the officials rarely rested for two days.

Firewood was burning in Yang Zhanpeng's room to keep warm. He had a fever recently. Fortunately, he had been hiding medicine all along, so he managed to get over it.

Although he survived, he also left sequelae. He was undernourished and has not recovered since the cough started, and the cough sounded intermittently in the room.

Yang Zhanpeng's chest felt better after drinking the hot water. If he could run, he really wanted to run. At this moment, he regretted changing his post. If he had led troops to fight, he would have faked his death and escaped.

Once a person is sick, his heart will be extremely fragile. Yang Zhanpeng wants to go home, misses his sister, and sometimes thinks of his eldest son Zhenyuan and Fang Xiu. Every time he thinks of his eldest son, he wonders if he is going to die. That's why I think of my eldest son.

That's right, in Yang Zhanpeng's heart, the eldest son is already dead, so how can the younger child have the ability to live?
Yang Zhanpeng also misses his mother. In Jeju City at this time, the Yang family is an official family member, which means that the gap between them and the common people is getting deeper and deeper. In the past, the neighbors had contacts, but now the common people are avoiding the Yang family.

The common people wished that the Northern Expeditionary Army would take down Jeju City, which was obviously the city where Zhang Min was in charge, but there was still hunger in private, and the trading of human flesh had never stopped.

Don't the people really hate him?Unfortunately, the arrival of Zhang Min did not give the people of Jeju much hope. Instead, there is a complete sales chain for buying and selling human flesh, and the accumulated despair is only waiting to explode.

The gate of Yang's Mansion was tightly closed, and the people in the alley knew Yang's Mansion. Every time Wei went out, he had to bear the scrutiny of the people. This kind of look made people feel fear.

Wei Shi was terrified. She was afraid that once Jeju got out of control, the Yang Mansion would become the target of the common people. She seemed to hear the sound of sharpening knives.

The winter was cold and oppressive, and the patrolling soldiers in Jeju City hurriedly walked. Not only Wei felt that the people's eyes were wrong, but the soldiers also felt it.

The common people had no food, they were skinny from hunger, and their emaciated eyes were silent. They stared at the soldiers, the officials and their families in the city.

The silent gaze greatly exaggerated the fear, and some officials already wanted to withdraw to Nanzhou.

This means abandoning Jeju. This proposal was not passed, and the significance of Jeju is great.

In Yang's mansion, Mrs. Wei guarded her son every step of the way. She was really terrified. Today, the neighbor suddenly called her and threw something over. A mouse's head made her vomit on the spot.

Wei Shi was terrified, she was the only person in charge of the family, if there was chaos in Jeju, she couldn't protect her son at all, Wei Shi looked at the house where her mother-in-law lived, recently her mother-in-law became more and more ill.

Wei Shi pursed her lips, mother-in-law cannot die, mother-in-law needs to prove her identity, and only by proving the identity of their family can they escape the danger.
