Chapter 547 Huang Zhong's Surprise Attack Part [-] ([-]-word chapter, two more in one)

Chang'an Station.

"Sir, thank you Lord Long En!" Yi Ji knelt down on the ground, arched his hands slightly above his head, and respectfully took the imperial decree from eunuch Zhang Yu's hand.

For so many days, what he has been waiting for is this imperial decree.

Today's imperial court is not as influential as before. The princes of the world are separated, and most of them hold heavy soldiers. They ignore the imperial decree. However, it is undeniable that the influence of the 400-year-old Han Dynasty is still the Han Dynasty.

As the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, under the sacred will, no matter whether it is respected or not, it must first be supported by public opinion.

Just like today's Hanzhong.

Mu Jing issued a policy from the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, which was far different from the policy promulgated by the imperial court. The people who respected the court were always more than those who respected the Marquis of Ming. influence, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This is also the reason why Yiji ventured into Chang'an.

"Message Yi, Your Majesty asked this servant to warn you that since the imperial decree has been issued, you should go back and return to your command as soon as possible. Chang'an is not a place to stay for a long time, so you should do it yourself!"

When the eunuch Zhang Yu put the imperial decree in Yiji's palm, he suddenly bowed his head, and whispered something that only Yiji could hear in Yiji's ear.

"Thank you Zhang Changshi for your reminder!"

Hearing this, Yi Ji raised his head suddenly, his pupils dilated slightly, but his expression quickly returned to normal, and he replied in a low voice, then took out a gold bar from his clothes, and stuffed it into Zhang Yu's hand without leaving a trace.

During this trip to Chang'an, Mu Jing was prepared to bleed heavily. In order for Yi Ji to take care of it, he arranged for a lot of people to send money. If he hadn't been doing the work these days, he wouldn't be able to stay safely in the station.

Although the eunuchs in the court are out of ten regular servants

"The servant girl will return to the palace!"

Zhang Yu hid the gold bar in his sleeve with a smile, turned and left.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang Changshi!"

Yiji has done enough etiquette, at least he can make Zhang Yu very happy.

After Zhang Yu left, Yi Ji's complexion immediately changed a little. He firmly held the imperial decree in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Come on!"

"Master Yi!"

More than a dozen people who were protecting outside the hall surrounded them.

"Go and prepare dry food for the horses immediately, we will leave Chang'an immediately!" Yi Ji said.

"Leave now?"

Marquis Ye Su frowned slightly when he heard the words: "My lord, judging by the current sky, I'm afraid it's almost nightfall, and the city gate will probably be closed soon. From here to the city gate, we have at least an hour or so, and there is no time to leave the city." ah!"

"Must leave immediately!"

Yiji held the imperial decree firmly, and Zhang Yu would not remind him for no reason that there must be some accident, so he did not dare to stay for a while. After obtaining the imperial decree, half of the task was completed, and the other half was for him to take the imperial decree safely. Going back is to completely leave this mission.

He paced back and forth, silent for a long time, then stopped, his face became more and more firm, and said in a deep voice: "Although this matter has been accomplished, but there are many nights and dreams, the emperor allows it, not the imperial court. The only way to kill us is to destroy us, we are in danger, I don’t care what method you use, we must leave Chang’an immediately, even if we can’t leave Chang’an immediately, we must leave the station, we cannot give them a chance to attack!”

"Understood!"

Ye Su trembled when he heard the words, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of the city now. We don't have many contacts in Chang'an, and we won't be able to clear the city gate in a short time. But since the post station can't stay, we can change it first." place, wait for tomorrow morning, leave the city early in the morning!"

"Arrange immediately!"

Yiji nodded.

…………

……

Hanzhong.

A spring plowing battle is in full swing.

"Master Minghou is really a good person!"

"I also gave us farm tools and seeds. I thought that this year would definitely not be able to catch up with the spring plowing, and I was afraid I would starve. I didn't expect Master Minghou to be so generous!"

"If there had been a benevolent and righteous person like Lord Minghou who was in charge of the house, why should we believe in the Five Dou Rice Sect!"

"I heard that Master Minghou also sent soldiers to help some families without males to farm!"

"Old Li, you don't have to complain about Minghou's soldiers. Your boss died in World War II. It was a war. There is nothing you can do. Now they send people to help you farm, or your whole family will starve to death!"

"Seventh Aunt, I heard that your family's grain is free!"

"..."

In the midst of the fervent spring plowing, the common people were of course the main force, but with the help of tens of thousands of soldiers, they cultivated the fields faster and completed the sowing before the spring plowing, which changed the impression of the common people on the Mujun army again.

In the world war, no matter what excuses the invaders have, they will eventually bring about war and will not be supported by the local people.

Just like in Hanzhong today, when Zhang Lu was defeated, the people may not have any reaction, but the shepherd army invaded strongly and brought war, and the people complained.

But now, with Mujing's spring plowing operation, he does not hesitate to use military power to cultivate for the people. This behavior has opened up the acceptance of many people. The people will always be the most innocent group of people. If it can make their lives better, they will support whoever is the master of the house.

"The [-] acres must all be planted with rice!"

Outside Nanzheng City, in a basin, countless people are working. Mujing stood on the side hillside, looked over, and said firmly: "This may be the most fertile place in Nanzheng. If it is abandoned, That would be a pity!"

"But half of this land belongs to the Xu family in the city!"

Liu Ling whispered beside him: "Although the Xu family was convicted for supporting Zhang Lu, they did not confiscate the family and exterminate the family, but the family head and several family heads were escorted to prison. The family has no leader, and the hearts of the people are bright, so it is unintentional." Farm!"

"If they don't plant it, we will plant it!"

Mu Jing was so indifferent.

"In this way, will it arouse the resentment of the major families, after all, farming is their root, and we have taken their world, how can they let it go so easily!"

"I don't want to rob them. If they don't plant this year, we will borrow it and plant it. If they want to go back and plant it, we can just return it to them next year!"

Mu Jing waved his hand: "If you have any opinions, let them come to me, I just haven't had time to determine the laws of Hanzhong!"

"Okay, I'll arrange for people to reclaim it!"

Liu Ling nodded.

It was Mujing's strength that made the spring plowing easier this time. If it was replaced by a second person, it might not be able to achieve this level.

"Recently, the people of Nanzheng have been mobilized in sevens and eighties. There are farming scenes outside and inside the city. Are we running out of farm tools and food seeds?"

Mu Jing suddenly asked.

"Shangyong sent people to fetch some, and Xicheng took some. Fangling, Anyang, and Chenggu also followed suit and sent people to ask for it. We only have a few left, but the blacksmith workshop in the city is still being built. Farm tools are not high-tech, and there are discarded weapons to forge, but the speed is very fast!"

Liu Ling said.

"That's good!" Mu Jing breathed a sigh of relief. In order to guide the cultivation, he went into battle this time shirtless, but it is undeniable that he has seen the cultivation technology of this era, backward, extremely backward, if he hadn't delayed at all Spring plowing is not allowed, and he can't spare his hands for the time being. He even wants to go to the battle to improve it himself. With such cultivation, the yield is so small that it can be said that he has reached a point of insanity. Food and clothing, if it is neglected for a year without planting, it will indirectly mean that many people will die in the coming winter.

"As for grain seeds, Tang Mengdao has been insane these days!"

Liu Ling said in a low voice: "He took out two large granaries in Nanzheng City. I heard that the gentry and gentry in the city hated him to the bone. He was shot three times in the past few days. If it weren't for the elite soldiers sent by the prince Protection, I'm afraid he's already under some people's crossbow arrows!"

"Those who want to kill me must have the ability!"

Mu Jing sneered and said, "Ye Zhi!"

"exist!"

"Tell Tang Ming, not only Nanzheng, Shangyongxicheng and other places, but he will also go there, as much grain as he can get out, and first meet the grain planting needs of the local people!"

"promise!"

Ye Zhi, a small Nongcao official, bowed his hands and saluted, then turned around to deliver the order.

……

In the evening, Mu Jing returned to the city. He was a little tired and drank several sips of bitter dry tea before recovering a lot of energy. That's when Xi Zhi came to his door.

"The news just came back from Chang'an!"

Xi Zhicai handed Mu Jing a copy of the news from Jing Wusi.

Although Jing Wusi fell into the quagmire in Nanyang, and now he has not figured out the reason why the news cannot be delivered, but in the Guanzhong area, the progress is very fast. Whether it is Chang'an or Luoyang, they have set up strongholds, and the news is transmitted very quickly. .

"Successful?" Mu Jing opened the small bamboo tube, took out the information inside, glanced at it, and sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth: "I just said that Liu Xie is not the master of security!"

If Liu Xie hadn't had the heart to fight against Dong Zhuo, he would not have allowed him to surrender so easily.

"I've never worried about the Son of Heaven, but I'm still worried, whether Dong Zhuo will backtrack!"

"No way?" Mu Jing frowned.

"Hard to say!"

"Even if he backtracks, he has only been in charge of the court for a short time now, and Situ Wangyun's generation will not allow him to trample on the face of the court. What else can he do?"

"If it is said that it is irreparable, I will definitely think of a family plan!"

"Kill Yiji?" Mu Jing's eyes widened.

"Not impossible!"

"Who will Jingwu Division send to Chang'an?"

"Tan Zong has no news during this period. I use your name to pass on the order of Jing Wusi to send the most elite people. It should be led by Shi A. The most powerful fighters under Jing Wusi's command are under his control. !"

"So good!"

Mu Jing nodded, his eyes were far away, and a bright light burst out: "Now it depends on whether Yiji's reaction is fast enough. If he doesn't stay and returns quickly, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

"As long as he can get out of Chang'an, everything will be fine!" Xi Zhicai said: "Once they get into the Qinling Mountains, the sky is high and the sea is wide, even if they have great ability, they can still chase it out!"

"You should pay close attention to this matter. If it's really impossible, send troops to snatch people!"

"Ok!"

"What about the news from Nanyang?"

"There is still no news, only Huang Zhong sent a letter. He has already left the Dongshan plank road, which means that he has entered Nanyang. As for whether Nanxiang can survive until his reinforcements arrive, we can only wait for the news and see the good luck!"

Xi Zhicai is also worried about this, but Nanyang and Hanzhong seem to be adjacent, but the roads are different, and the transmission of news is too slow, so they can only worry here.

..............................

……

Nanxiang County.

The brutality of the war was shocking. The city and the city looked like a bloody hell. The delicate blood had completely dyed the land red. There was no time to clean up the corpses that could be seen everywhere. There was only war, only fighting.

on the city head.

Cai Yan sits in town like Mount Tai.

Fighting hard for several days, seeing the soldiers fall one by one, Cai Yan seemed to have walked through hell once, which made her mind more firm. She always stood on the top of the city, where all the soldiers could see. It seems to be a battle flag, a battle flag that will not fall.

"It seems that they can't break through our Nanxiang today!"

In the evening, when the sound of gold ringing outside the city sounded, all the soldiers on the top of the city breathed a sigh of relief. Fighting spirit is one thing, but combat effectiveness is another. physical strength.

After a day of fighting, at least more than 100 soldiers were lost in the city, and the comrades fell forever, making all the soldiers extremely disappointed.

Cai Yan stood up slowly: "Boys, congratulations, we have lasted another day. I firmly believe that my husband will lead the reinforcements back. Please continue to support me. If the city is broken, I will fulfill my duty." His promise shall die before you."

She would say this sentence twice a day, once when the battle started, and again when the troops were withdrawn, but in the hearts of countless soldiers, each time was deafening.

"We will defend Nanxiang to the death!"

"We will defend Nanxiang to the death!"

The morale that had fallen was once again cheered up.

Zhou Cang stood beside him. He had at least four bandaged wounds on his body, but he ignored them in vain. His eyes were always firm. He was not only grateful to Cai Yan, but also respected from the bottom of his heart.

Cai Yan's being able to go to the top of the city has already helped him a lot, and now he has been standing on the top of the city like before for several days, like an Optimus Prime, supporting the battlefield in Nanxiang.

He took a deep breath and drank in a low voice: "Soldiers, clean up the battlefield immediately, then eat and rest, and maintain your strength. Tomorrow will be another hard battle. The lord is in Hanzhong to find a way for us to survive. Madam sits at the head of the city in person. We must not live up to this." Trust, even if you fall, you must fall after they withdraw their troops!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers moved quickly.

……

outside the city.

"It's been three full days, and they're clearly on their last breath. Why can't we break through Nanxiang City?"

The morale of the Nanyang army was getting lower and lower, and the captain, Lei Bo, was furious in the camp.

During the strong attack in the past few days, he almost lost more than [-] soldiers and under the city wall, but he was still unable to step into the city.

"Master Captain, the defenders in the city are too tenacious, and..."

Chen Lan was covered in blood, bowed her head down, and said in a low voice: "The military spirit of this city is indestructible!"

"The military spirit is indestructible?"

Lei Bo shouted angrily: "With their mere thousands of troops, how can they be indestructible?"

"In the past few days, some fresh troops have been found on the city wall. Although these people are all newcomers, they are not good at fighting, and there are many people who are in a hurry, but if you look around, they must be young and strong in the city. With such fighting spirit, we can see that Nanxiang City is united as one, unless we can drive them out, even if we break through the city wall, it will still be difficult to break through the city's defense!"

Chen Lan explained: "The most important thing is that Mrs. Minghou personally sits on the top of the city. Unless we can shoot down this flag that boosts the morale of the city, otherwise this will be a skyfall, and we will not be able to get past it!"

Even if it was an enemy, he had to admire that Mrs. Ming Hou's fearless fighting spirit, keeping tens of thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city.

"Damn, damn!"

Lei Bo's eyes widened like copper bells, and there was resignation in his eyes: "It's abominable for such a small girl to have such power!"

In this battle, they paid so much, mobilized the entire Nanyang County's military force, exhausted Nanyang's strategic reserves, but were blocked under Nanxiang. He really didn't understand. No, why is there such a fighting spirit in the city to resist.

He thought that the casualties in the city were not inferior to him, but the city still blocked it.

"Report!"

Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes came from outside the camp, and a voice shouted.

"What's going on?" Lei Bo raised his head and looked outside the camp gate.

"Lord Captain, urgent report from Nanyang!"

"Pass it in!"

"Yes!"

A messenger with a command flag on his body walked in quickly, knelt down, saluted with both hands, and said impatiently: "Master Captain, the champion was attacked by an unknown enemy, and all the generals who stayed behind were slaughtered. Food and grass are stored in the city." All lost!"

"what?"

Lei Bo stood up abruptly, his eyes blood congealed, and he said coldly: "When did it happen?"

"Two days ago!"

........................

……

Nanyang County.

Dongshan.

This mountain range stretches to the west of Nanyang, goes straight into Hanzhong, and connects two counties. The plank road is built along the mountainside, one mountain is connected to another mountain. Along the plank road, you can take a lot of wrong roads, and the road is easier and flatter.

A troop was stationed at the foot of the mountain.

"General, the latest marching map discovered by the scouts!"

"Put it away, all the marching maps in Dongshan must be kept well, they will be the basis for opening up mountain roads in the future!"

"promise!"

"Yang Feng, have the scouts who went to Nanxiang to inquire come back?" Huang Zhong asked while biting a piece of dry food as hard as iron.

"not yet!"

Yang Feng thought for a while: "But there should be news before tomorrow morning!"

"Then let's rest here overnight, wait for their news to arrive, and then make plans!"

Huang Zhong looked at the golden crow falling from the sky, and the afterglow of the setting sun was still shining on the sky. He took a deep breath, had an idea in his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Although soldiers are expensive and fast, we need to preserve enough combat power for long-distance raids. The soldiers immediately bury the pot and make a meal, and then rest!"

"promise!"

The generals handed over their orders and began to arrange for the soldiers to camp and rest.
