Chapter 101 Battle (2)
Six groups of scouts were sent out, and these scouts all came back safely, and said that everything was normal and there was no abnormality.
Yun Qing didn't relax because of the scout's return, on the contrary, his mood became more and more heavy. It's just that the military order is like a mountain, and Qin Zhao ordered that he must arrive at the designated place within the specified time. It would be fine if he was attacked on the road, but now he is obviously fine, so there is no time to waste.
Huo Changqing looked at Yunqing's appearance and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Yunqing's talent in fighting is beyond his comparison.
Yun Qing shook his head and said, "No." Yun Qing felt that maybe he was too careful. In any case, Qin Zhao is also the grandson of Marshal Qin. After being a famous general, he should not ignore so many soldiers for personal gain. Even though he thought so, Yun Qing did not relax, and still sent a large number of scouts to spy on the military situation ahead. After making sure that there is no problem ahead, Yunqing ordered the army to move forward. Although the speed slows down, it also reaches the established position within the specified time.
Yuxi sat on a chair and sewed clothes, because she had a big belly, so she sewed very slowly. But don't be in a hurry, just do it slowly.
"Ouch..." The needle poked the finger, and a drop of blood quickly condensed on the finger. Seeing this blood drop, Yuxi's right eyelid kept twitching.
Zijin was startled, she quickly helped Yuxi, and asked, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?" Seeing the blood on Yuxi's hand, Zijin hurriedly called out: "Mother Qu, bring the ointment here , Madam poked her hand."
Mother Qu quickly took the ointment and applied it on Yuxi, saying, "Ma'am, it's fine, it will be fine soon." For beginners, the number of times to poke their hands should not be too much. But Yuxi is a person who is used to needlework, so she rarely pokes her hand.
Yuxi said in a low voice: "My right eyelid has been twitching, I'm afraid the general is in danger." She was at home, so there must be no danger, so something may have happened to Yunqing.
Zijin and Qu's mother both had ugly faces when they heard this. However, Mama Qu had a lot of experience, so she calmed down quickly and said, "Madam, the general has fought so many battles without incident, and he will definitely come back safely this time. You can't scare yourself."
After hearing this, Zi Jin quickly agreed, saying: "Madam, the general will be fine, just rest assured!"
When Yuxi heard this, she lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "Maybe I was thinking too much." Perhaps, the twitching of the right eyelid was not Yunqing's disaster, but hers. Thinking of this, Yu Xi immediately stood up and said, "Call Xu Wu over here."
Yu Xi looked at Xu Wu and said: "During this time, you must pay attention to the safety of the mansion, and do not allow idlers to enter the mansion."
Xu Wu nodded and said: "Madam, don't worry, this subordinate promises not to let a fly fly in." Before leaving, Yun Qing called another 60 people over. Yun Qing was also worried that someone would be unfavorable to Yu Xi when he left. Including the previous forty guards, there are now a total of more than one hundred guards in Yunfu, so many people are enough to protect Yuxi.
On this day, Yu Xi spent in restlessness. As for Yunqing, it was also on this day that he experienced his first major defeat in his life. And this defeat was caused by an error in intelligence. Earlier, Qin Zhao said that there were only 50,000 vanguard troops in Beicap. They sent 60,000, intending to have 60,000 against the enemy's 50,000. They have an advantage in numbers, and they occupy a favorable position, so that they can severely damage the vanguard of the Northern Captivity.
Unexpectedly, Beicap's forward army was not 50,000 at all, but 80,000, and they obviously came prepared. Because of the 80,000 captives in the north, 40,000 were sent to attack Yunqing. Compared with the Northern captivity, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were at a disadvantage in terms of combat power. Today, the strength of the enemy and us is still two to one. This battle was fought particularly fiercely.
From morning to night, the fight continued until the two sides ceased fighting. At this time, Yunqing,
It has been surrounded by the captives.
Looking at the battlefield full of corpses, and looking at Jiang Bo's corpse next to him, Yun Qing's eyes burst into a savage light: "Qin Zhao..." In order to get rid of him, Qin Zhao even killed 20,000 soldiers. It's child's play.
Thinking of this, Yun Qing pulled out his saber, and slashed at the stone with one sword, the washbasin-sized stone was split into two halves.
Huo Changqing said with a sullen face: "Yunqing, now is not the time to be sad. I will ask Qin Zhao for this debt in the future. What we should do now is how to break out." If we don't break out at night, we will definitely be killed tomorrow Not one left.
Seeing that Yunqing still couldn't calm down, Huo Changqing said: "Yunqing, think about Mrs. Han, she is still waiting for you at home with a big belly. If something happens to you, she may not be able to survive. You have the heart to let you Will your child die before birth?"
Yunqing's red eyes finally returned to normal slowly. After a while, he shouted loudly: "Guo Xun, check how many troops are left?" After saying this, he took off the dry food from the horse, gave some of it to Huo Changqing, and then took two rations that were as hard as stones. The pancakes were munching. I don't know what it tastes like for a long time, and I eat it just to fill my stomach and give me the strength to escape.
After a while, Guo Xun came over and said, "General, there are still more than 7,600 people." Of the 20,000 people, there are now only more than 7,000 left, and these 7,000 people include many wounded.
After formulating a breakout plan, Huo Changqing said to Yunqing: "I'll break the queen!" The so-called breaking the queen is to slow down the enemy's footsteps, which means that the people who break the queen will die.
Yun Qing said without thinking, "No."
Guo Xun and Yu Cong also refused to agree, and the two competed to stay behind. In the end, it was decided by drawing lots, and Guo Xun took the remaining lot. Guo Xun patted Yu Cong on the shoulder and said, "Protect the general and foster father well." If you stay behind, you will definitely not be able to survive, but if you break out with the general, you may not be able to survive. It is seven or eight days' journey from here to Yucheng, and the journey must not be smooth. I only hope that the general can escape back to Yucheng safely.
Yu Cong nodded heavily, and said, "I will use my life to protect the general and foster father."
In the middle of the night, Yunqing led 7,000 people to break through, leaving behind more than 3,000 corpses, Yunqing jumped out of the encirclement. However, this does not mean that they are safe, because there are still pursuers chasing them. Without going to Yucheng, everywhere is dangerous.
In the early morning, Han Ji was shocked when he got the news that there was a fire in Zhuangzi, and hurried to see Yuxi. When I got outside the inner courtyard, I said to Mother Qu: "I have something important to see my wife."
Mother Qu said: "Madam read the scriptures for most of the night yesterday, and she didn't fall asleep until long ago. If it's not something urgent, I'd better come back later!"
Yuxi's eyelids kept twitching last night, feeling uneasy where she could sleep, so she simply got up and went to the Buddhist hall to chant sutras. After reading for most of the night, I was really tired before I went to bed and fell asleep. Therefore, Mother Qu didn't want to disturb Yuxi's good sleep.
Han Ji said anxiously: "There was a fire in Zhuangzi yesterday, and the granary was burned. All the grain in the granary was burned." Fortunately, not all the grain bought was put in the granary, otherwise blood would really drip up.
Mother Qu's face turned pale, it was no small matter: "I'll call Ma'am right away." These Madams were thinking about emergency food at that time, but they didn't expect to be burned.
After Yuxi heard the news, she got up immediately, put on her clothes and went out without washing up. When she met Han Ji, she asked, "Are there any casualties? How are those children doing now?" The food in the granary There are not many, and you can buy more when you run out of things. If these children are injured in any way, it will be a big problem.
Han Ji looked sad, and said: "The four people guarding the granary were all killed by the arsonist. The other people on the village were disturbed during the fight, so those children are fine." The house where the child lives is In the house built in February, it was a little far away from the granary. Furthermore, it was discovered early, and these people did not have time to do anything to these children. Of course, the main target of these people is the granary, and it would be really mysterious if the target was these children.
Yu Xi clenched her hands into fists, and asked sharply, "Have all the arsonists been caught?"
Han Ji nodded and said: "The people who come here say that they have been caught. Tell Madam how to deal with these people? Madam, do you think we should report to the authorities?"
Yu Xi sneered, and said: "Don't report to the officials, torture them. If torture doesn't work, let them taste the taste of being burned." What Yu Xi meant was to burn these people to death.
Han Ji opened his mouth and said, "Ma'am, is this inappropriate?" Han Ji felt that such a method was too harsh.
Yuxi sneered: "I have to let them know that I, Han Yuxi, was not made by a soft persimmon. If you dare to hit me, I will make them pay back twice." She has swallowed her anger for more than ten years, and she will not bear it anymore, and bear it any longer. , have become Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Han Ji lowered his head and said, "Okay!"
Yuxi thought for a while and said: "You should go there yourself to comfort these children. If there are any who want to go home, let them go home." Some of these children have parents, and most of them are without parents. Orphans with no father and no mother have no place to send them away. So a new problem has arisen, what to do with the security work on Zhuangzi.
Han Ji said: "How about letting these children go back to Yucheng? Those two houses are empty, let these children come back and live there!" Living in Yucheng, the children are a little safer.
Yuxi shook her head and said, "It's not safe to live in Yucheng." In Yucheng, there is no place that can be said to be safe.
The Han family said worriedly: "Ma'am, it's a fluke that the children are safe this time, and it may not be so good luck next time. If they are not brought back, they must be kept safe. However, the Yun family You can't take away the hands of the people." The safety of these children must be considered, but the safety of the wife is more important. If something happened to the wife, they probably would have to be buried with her.
Yuxi thought for a while, and said: "I will solve this matter, you go to Zhuangzi to have a look first." When Han Ji turned around and was about to leave, Yuxi said again: "Talk to Xu Wu and ask him to adjust ten I will go to Zhuangzi with you personally." Who knows if the people behind the scenes are trying to kill the people around her.
After hearing this, Han Ji said to Yuxi, "Thank you, madam." It is a lie to say that you are not afraid of death, and it is estimated that few people pat their chests and say that they are not afraid of death, let alone such a meaningless death. With ten guards following him, it was equivalent to an extra layer of security.
