The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 374

Mazhuang military station is the nearest military station to Bukui.

This is a small military platform, and it has been relatively deserted for many years.And there are not many transactions.

Last year, I received an imperial envoy, which was considered a major event.Then there is the reception of General Zhenbei this year.

Yang Juntai ordered to know that General Zhenbei is the current Crown Prince.Accompanying His Highness the Crown Prince are Princess Chang'an and Deputy Commander General Ning Guta.

General Ning Guta, who was known by the Military Commander, had been to Mazhuang twice when he was in Bukui.However, every time I didn't stay here, I just stayed for a while, rested for a while, and left.

This time, it was the same. His Royal Highness stayed here for a while, and then moved on.

Even though it was almost two months ago, the Army Taiwan Order still remembers this.

Because this is the most lively time in Mazhuang Juntai for many years.

One after another, a team passed by the Mazhuang every now and then.Some are from Ningguta, some are from Shengjing, some are from Koryo, and some are from the imperial capital.

This is the first time the Military Tailing has seen such a march.It is said that North Vendura in the front has already fought with the Tatars, and there are still troops on the road behind.

In front of a pile of sacks of money, the Military Commander stopped.He squatted down and untied a sack.The food inside flowed out, giving off a musty smell.

Yang Juntai Ling grabbed a handful of corn, and saw that the corn was already moldy.The corn kernels are covered with green hairs.

This was brought by the army passing by here some time ago, and because it was already moldy, it had to be thrown here.

Yang Juntai Ling stood up, looking at the sacks piled up like a hill, he couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken.

It has been transported all the way here, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources it took, but moldy grain was transported to make military rations, how can the soldiers eat it?
After eating this kind of food, people can still be healthy, and how can they go to war?Even if it is fed to livestock, the livestock will not eat.

It's really dark.

This batch of military rations impressed Yang Juntai deeply, not only because of the moldy food, but also because of the people who escorted this batch of rations.

The leader is his Yangmingbao fellow Sun Yuanfei.

The Sun family is a big family in Yangmingbao, Jun Tailing and Sun Yuanfei live in the same village.

However, when Yang Juntailing came out from home, Sun Yuanfei was still a teenager.For this meeting, he was already the guard of Kaiyuan Mansion.

This made Yang Juntai order sigh, time flies.

On that day, Sun Yuanfei stayed with him for one night, and the Military Taiwan Commander even hosted a banquet for Sun Yuanfei.

During the meeting, when talking about this batch of moldy military rations, Sun Yuanfei couldn't help yelling, saying that the higher-ups had a dark heart and actually purchased moldy rations.

After staying for one night, Sun Yuanfei dropped the batch of grain and continued on his way with fodder for the horses.

Sun Yuanfei has already left, and the military commander is still worried about his fellow villagers, wondering if he will be held accountable for this batch of food.

Now, though, he's not worried.It is said that the battle ahead has been won, and the Tatars have already surrendered.The imperial army has also advanced to the North Wendura Grassland.

Now that we have won the battle, everything will be easy to handle.At that time, no matter how reasonable it is, no one will care about these moldy military rations.

Besides, if the 70-year tribute from the North Wendura Grassland is really collected, this little food will be nothing.

Apart from dealing with documents and receiving officials coming and going, there is not much going on at the Military Station in normal times.

Some officials who went to South Wendura to take office a few years ago and this year's military visit are the biggest things.All that remains is that after the battle, the army will return to court.

Yang Juntai ordered the army to win and return to the court as soon as possible. At that time, he can completely relax.

After walking around the pile of sacks for a while, Yang Jun Tailing was ready to go back for dinner.

At this moment, a puff of smoke rose from the official road in the direction of Bu Kui.

It must have been a horse.

Seeing that there are more people coming and going, Yang Juntai Ling is already very experienced.From the smoke and dust, he could tell how many people were coming.

The smoke and dust moved moderately quickly, and from this point alone, Yang Jun Tailing made a judgment: the visitor was on his way at full speed.

Sure enough, within the time of a cup of tea, a horse galloped towards him, and he turned directly into the Military Terrace courtyard.

The person who came to dismount was none other than his fellow villager Sun Yuanfei.

"Master Sun, why are you here?"

Yang Jun Tailing hastily greeted him.

"Hurry up, hurry up and send documents in eight hundred miles."

Eight hundred miles in a hurry?What documents are in such a hurry?
There are also grades for military stations to transmit documents.Important quick pass.It's not important, just go slower.

Faster, there are daily transfers of three hundred miles, four hundred miles, five hundred miles... .Eight hundred miles is the highest level, and it is passed around day and night.

The grade is not set randomly. If it is an unimportant document, if it is set to a high grade, it will be held accountable in the end.For so many years, Mazhuang Army Station has never sent an urgent document for [-] miles.

"Master Sun, are you sure it's [-] miles to rush? This is not a joke."

"Confirmed, this is an urgent official document from General Ning Guta to the Ministry of War. Here, this is a ticket from the Ministry of War."

The fire ticket is the certificate for delivering the document. Only after the fire ticket has been checked by the military station will it start to deliver the document.

The combination of the fire ticket and the official station played a role.

After checking the fire ticket, Yang Juntai did not dare to neglect, he called for someone, and filled out the platoon form at the same time.At this time, the second pillar also came.After a few words from the military platform order, Erzhuzi rode away on horseback.

"My fellow, feed my horse some fodder and get me something to eat. What the hell, I haven't eaten for two days."

"The food is ready. Young Master Sun will go in and eat first. I'll feed your horse and I'll go over to accompany you in a while."

Sun Yuanfei was also polite and went into the house by himself.

Yang Juntai ordered the horse to be fed, and when he entered the house, he saw Sun Yuanfei gobbling it up.

"Master Sun, what happened. Are you in such a hurry?"

"What the hell, we were defeated, completely defeated by the Tatars, completely defeated. If these idiots had listened to Jia Huaiyuan, why would they be like this?"

Jia Huaiyuan and Yang Juntai Ling are naturally no strangers.It is said that this time because of his opposition to the war, he was dismissed from his fame and his job as a civilian.

"Haven't the Tatars surrendered? How could it be so?"

"Where did they surrender? It was just a false surrender. The Tatars lured the enemy deep, so they were completely defeated."

"How could an army of 15 be defeated so easily?"

"Fucking 15 army, not even [-], it's just empty pay."

"Have a drink."

"Forget it, I won't drink anymore. If I come back alive in the future, I will come to your place to drink again."

"Are you going back?"

"The team was broken up. I have to go back and gather the team. They are all soldiers from my hometown. I brought them out. If I go home by myself, how can I see my father and fellow villagers? I always try my best. It doesn't matter how much I get back." How much."

After Sun Yuanfei finished eating, he waited for a while, only to leave when he saw that the horse had finished eating the fodder.

Before getting on the horse, he stopped again.

"Fellow man, think about it for yourself. The Tatars have already chased to the South Vendura Grassland, and it is estimated that Bukui will not be able to hold it. In the past two days, the troops have been withdrawing one after another. You are not safe here anymore." .”

After speaking, Sun Yuanfei got on his horse.He galloped in the direction of Bukui again.

Looking at Sun Yuanfei's back, Yang Juntai Ling couldn't help smiling wryly.

I really want to run for my life, but the army hasn't retreated yet, if I leave first, wouldn't I be looking for death?
These military men can't beat the Tatars. If they take it out on me, it's still a piece of cake.

Forget it, let it be.

Young Master Sun ate the original food, so Yang Juntai Ling had no choice but to cook some more hastily.

After eating, I saw that there were continuous teams withdrawing.

They said they were withdrawing, but they were actually fleeing for their lives.Teams have lost their helmets and armor, and their flags are in disarray.Many people even changed their uniforms.

When he arrived at the military platform, he galloped past the official road without stopping.

Yang Juntai Ling was puzzled at first, but he understood after thinking about it.Now the Tatars have arrived in South Vendura, and they are not far from here. Naturally, these people should escape as far away as possible.

When it was getting dark, General Ning Guta Han Tiankui came.After drinking some tea in the military platform, we continued to retreat south.

The deputy commander ran away, so what about the head coach?Why didn't the prince and princess see it?

Yang Juntai wanted to ask someone to ask, but felt that he was unnecessary.

There are some things that should not be asked nonsense. Now that they are defeated, everyone is in a bad mood. If I am not careful, I will be used as a punching bag, but I am asking for trouble.

From the second day onwards, no group of people withdrew back, and all those who came were scattered soldiers.When we arrived at Juntai, we rummaged around looking for food.

Fortunately, Yang Juntai Ling had been prepared to hide food and valuables, and he hid himself from time to time, which was considered to have escaped the military disaster.

Although he escaped here, I am afraid that the people along the way to the south will suffer.

It wasn't until the fifth day that the number of retreating troops decreased. On this day, only a dozen or so soldiers passed.

Yang Juntai ordered to know that the living people were basically evacuated.

In the past few days, he has been paying attention and observing, but he has not found the team of the prince and princess.

Could it be that the prince and princess have already..., he didn't dare to think about it.

However, he then raised hope in his heart.

Maybe they made up and escaped, I didn't recognize it.

Fellow villager Sun Yuanfei didn't come back either, which made him worry all the time.The only thing that gave him some comfort was that the Tatars didn't come after them either.

What made him a little strange was that the people from the Bukui Mansion Corps didn't seem to withdraw either.

Could it be that the whole army was wiped out?If the Tatars captured Bukui, why didn't there be any of them?

Yang Jun Tailing decided that when someone retreats, he must inquire.If the Tatars occupied Bukui, they should have fled.

When it was getting dark, Yiqi came and walked unhurriedly. He was also neatly dressed and looked calm.

When we got closer, we knew each other.It was Jia Lian, commander of the first battalion of the Bukui Mansion Corps.

"Yang Jun Tai Ling, I'm here to disturb you again. I'm going back to the imperial capital, and I'll stay with you tonight. I brought some food and wine. We'll have a good drink later."

"Battle Commander Jia, I am very happy that you come to live with me. However, if the Tatars come, I can't protect you."

"What? The Tatars are coming? Hahaha, Commander Yang Juntai, you are worrying too much. They can't come."

"Why can't you come? Didn't you take all of Bu Kui?"

"They want to divination Kui? It's just a dream. In Erdaojiang, let our army regiment beat us up and leave more than 3000 dead bodies. They dare not come again. If you dare to fight with our army regiment, you are just courting death!"

"The 15 army has been defeated. With only a few members of your army regiment, can you defeat the Tatars?"

"It can't be said to be defeated. Anyway, Bu Kui is safe. You are also safe here."

God, what is going on here?Why am I getting more and more confused?

Although Yang Juntai Ling was still suspicious in his heart, he calmed down when he saw Jia Lian's calm look.

Just as the two were about to enter the house for a drink, a horse galloped into the yard.

One of them got off his horse, in rags and unkempt, took two quick steps, and immediately hugged Jia Lian's thigh.

"Second brother Lian, help me."

Jia Lian was a little strange, but felt that the voice was familiar.

A closer look, can not help but be surprised.

"Brother Pan, why are you here?"
