Chapter 289: War (3)

As soon as the battle was over, Yun Qing immediately went back to the rear to visit Feng Dajun. Seeing Feng Dajun unconscious on the bed, Yunqing asked Doctor Hou: "How is the injury?"

Doctor Hou said: "It's considered good luck to seal a thousand households. It was only a short distance from death." One of the arrows was only a little away from the mouth, and the other was only a flesh wound.

Yun Qing felt relieved, as long as his life was not in danger.

Doctor Hou said: "If there were more of this hemostatic powder, many soldiers could be saved." What Doctor Hou meant was that he hoped that Yunqing could get some good medicine like this. It was also because of the excellent hemostatic effect that he dared to pull out the arrow so quickly. Otherwise, the blood cannot be stopped, and the arrow will only lead to death if the arrow is pulled out. It has to be said that Master Yang has made great contributions to Yunqing and the people around him.

Yun Qing nodded and said, "I'll try to get as much as possible in the future." When he captures the entire Northwest, he won't have to worry about running out of money to buy medicinal materials. And Master Yang had promised to help him make medicine before, so as long as there are medicinal materials, there is no need to worry about not having a good hemostatic powder.

After confirming that Feng Dajun was fine, Yun Qing also went back to his room. After this battle, Ji Xuan was unable to send a large army to attack them anymore. So, it's safe for now.

Not long after, Gao Song came in and said to Yun Qing: "General, those three archers have made a move, saying that their goal is you, General."

Yun Qing raised his head in surprise and asked, "Their target is me?"

After Gao Song found out about this, he was overjoyed, and said, "Yes, their target is you, General. General, Ji Xuan must have known that you always rushed to the front in every battle, so he sent a sharp archer to hide in the dark. I'm going to take this opportunity to assassinate you." Gao Song despised Ji Xuan very much, a guy with no skills knows how to use these dirty tricks.

Yun Qing's face darkened. For Yun Qing, what he hated the most was the sniping in the back, but thinking about Ji Xuan's character, he was also relieved. Ji Xuan was originally a sinister villain, so it's not surprising that he would do such a thing.

In the evening, Yuan Ying and Cui Mo came to report the situation to Yun Qing. Yuan Ying said: "General, we have killed 1,315 people in this battle and seriously injured 2,681 people." Compared with yesterday, today's casualties are much less. It was also the end of the battle within half a day today, so the casualties were small.

Yun Qing nodded, then turned to Cui Mo and asked, "How many prisoners have been captured this time?" They have too few troops and need to expand their strength.

Cui Mo said: "General, we captured 23,000 people and 783 people." These were all intact, excluding those with minor or serious injuries.

Yun Qing said; "Ask them if they are willing to stay. If they are willing to stay, they will be paid a month's military salary first. If they are not willing to stay, then in Wucheng and other places, let them leave after they are full!"

Cui Mo grunted and said, "General, since you don't want to surrender, you have to waste food if you do anything. If you don't want to stay, just kill them. What if they run back to Lanzhou City?"

Yun Qing said: "When Lanzhou City is captured, they can't stop them from going back." He is not stupid, how could he let these people go back to Lanzhou City now. Once they return to Lanzhou City, even if they don't want to fight anymore, Ji Xuan will force them to defend the city.

Cui Mo asked: "General, why do you make such trouble?"

Yuan Ying couldn't help but interjected, and said, "Cui Mo, these soldiers are not barbarians from the north, how can they be killed? Kill them, and the local army will resist more fiercely in the future." And there are other troubles.

Cui Mo snorted coldly: "Awesome? How can they be so powerful?" As soon as his cavalry came out, these people were nothing.

Yun Qing said: "If they go home to farm, they will be able to pay taxes to support you in the future." Most of these soldiers are the children of civilians. Let them go back, they must have gone home to farm.

Cui Mo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "The general thinks long-term." It was also because he didn't turn his mind for a while, thinking that he would leave after the fight, but he forgot that once the general ruled the entire northwest, these people But they are all the general's subjects.

At nightfall, Yu Cong hurried in and said to Yunqing: "General, there is a letter from Yucheng." After speaking, he presented a stack of letters with both hands.

Yun Qing opened Fu Tianlei's letter first, and after reading it, his expression eased a lot. Fu Tianlei said in the letter that the gold and silver he sent back had been received, and part of it had been distributed to the soldiers, and the pension would also be distributed before the year. Of course, pensions are now only limited to the soldiers who died in battle in Yucheng and Xinping City, and other places have not been implemented yet.

Yu Cong said with a smile: "General, Du Zheng and the others will arrive here in three days and join us." The sooner they arrive, the sooner they will break Lanzhou City.

Yun Qing said: "The day after tomorrow will be Chinese New Year." In other words, the 30,000 people brought by Du Zheng will arrive on the first day of the first lunar month. It is also the first time for the Northwest Army to rush on the road during the New Year's Eve.

Yu Cong said with a smile: "After this battle, every day will be like the Chinese New Year." From now on, every day will be like the New Year.

Yun Qing also showed a smile, these soldiers are willing to rebel with him, isn't it because they believe that he can make them live a better life!

After speaking, Yunqing continued to read the letter. He first read the letters from Huo Changqing, Du Zheng, Xiang Weiguo and others, and finally read Yuxi's letter. Yuxi's letter is very thick, and several other people's letters are not as thick as hers.

After opening the letter, Yunqing felt a lot more relaxed. Because this word is written very powerfully, just by looking at this word, one can tell that Yu Xi is recovering well.

Yu Xi's letter didn't write anything particularly important, it was about her own recovery and the matter of Zao Zao and Liu Er. At the end of the letter, Yu Xi told him to reply.

After reading the letter, Yun Qing smiled and wrote back.

After the battle was over, the two sides fell into a stalemate. However, Nancheng was not so lucky. It took Chen Wei nine days, nearly three days longer than before, to finally break through Nancheng.

After Peng Lianggong told Jun Yuanbo to stop, he fled for his life with 2,000 troops. Jun Yuanbo didn't refuse, so he took the remaining 5,000 remnants to prepare for the final battle with Chen Wei.

Yang Duoming said: "Brother Yuanbo, Chen Wei has more than 50,000 soldiers and horses. You are sending yourself to death like this." Yang Duoming did not flee with Peng Lianggong, but stayed behind on his own initiative.

Jun Yuanbo said: "Could it be that he fled to Shu, like the Generalissimo?" Is it safe to flee to Shu? Don't be stupid, it's not safe to flee to Shu. How could the Governor-General of Shuzhong let them go! Moreover, the road from Nancheng to Shu is difficult and dangerous, and whether they can reach Shu safely is a problem.

Yang Duoming said: "No, the Northwest Army has already rebelled. Let's avoid Chen Wei first, hide in the mountains, wait for the Northwest Army to attack, and then go to the Northwest Army." Yang Duoming also respects Jun Yuanbo Character, I don't want to see him sacrifice in vain.

Jun Yuanbo shook his head and said: "Yunqing's strong generals are like Yun, and they look down on us." Although Yunqing has rebelled now and belongs to a traitor, but he is a regular army after all, so how can he be seen as a wild way out? of.

Yang Duoming said: "If Yunqing occupies the northwest, he must recruit troops. When the time comes, you will directly join the army. With Brother Jun's martial arts skills, are you afraid that you will not have a bright future?" It's time for Jun Yuanbo to join the army as an ordinary person.

Knowing that Yang Duoming was doing his best, Jun Yuanbo said, "Brother, I accept your love. However, I can't leave these brothers behind."

Yang Duoming said: "Brother Jun, if you don't leave, you will just die one more person." Whether Jun Yuanbo leaves or not, the fate of these remnants is already doomed.

Jun Yuanbo shook his head and said, "Brother Yang, I appreciate your kindness. Before Chen Wei comes over, you should go!" There are many mountains and forests near Nancheng, and Yang Duoming took his men and horses to hide in the mountains for a while. It was not easy for Chen Wei to find him. Of course, it was also because the rebellion of the Northwest Army gave them a chance. Otherwise, if Chen Wei sent tens of thousands of people to search the mountain, it would be useless for them to hide in the mountain.

Seeing that the persuasion was unsuccessful, Yang Duoming stopped persuading him. He clasped his fists at Jun Yuanbo and said, "Brother Jun, I hope we will meet later." He hoped that Jun Yuanbo would escape this disaster.

Jun Yuanbo also clasped his fists together and said, "Take care."

Yang Duoming left Nancheng with a group of his subordinates. Before that, Yang Duoming thought that the rebel army would not be successful, so he had already made various preparations. After escaping from Nancheng, the group of them quickly entered a mountain. There is a cave in this mountain, which can accommodate one or two hundred people. It was discovered by one of Yang Duoming's subordinates. Yang Duoming sent people to store some food here before, but because he was afraid of being discovered, he didn't store much, only enough for their group to eat for about half a month. Of course, the premise is that you can't let go of your belly to eat.

Yan Xi asked: "The master, what should we do if Yunqing fails?" Their current situation can be said to be desperate.

Shen Xiaomao said: "Yunqing failed, we will return to the old business at worst. Don't you think you are the boss?" They have more than ninety people, and when the time comes, they can recruit some more people and they can still live comfortably.

Yang Duoming said: "If Yunqing fails, we will have no choice but to flee to the end of the world." Yunqing's failure unexpectedly means that Ji Xuan will no longer have any worries, and by then, the Northwest will be a different world.

Shen Xiaomao said: "I hope Yunqing can win."

Yan Xi thought too much, and said, "The boss, even if Yunqing wins, will he accept us? I heard that he killed a lot of bandits and horse thieves!"

Yang Duoming said: "If Yunqing wins, I will seek refuge with Mrs. Yun." He must have no future if he seeks refuge with Yunqing. It's better to go and seek refuge with Mrs. Yun, maybe you can find a way out!

Yan Xi fell into deep thought.

Shen Xiaomao said: "The head of the family, Mrs. Yun is famous, but she is a woman after all. What can be done by relying on a woman?"

Yang Duoming said: "My situation is very complicated, and I can't explain it clearly. But you are different from me. You can join the army at that time." The reputation of the Northwest Army has always been very good. It's just the Northwest Army, and it's not something you just accept if you want to vote for it.

Yan Xi said: "Wherever you go, the boss, we will go there!" How could they leave the boss and go to their own future!

Yang Duoming said with a smile: "What are you fighting for now? I don't know if Yunqing can win!" Although Yang Duoming has confidence in Yunqing, the disparity in the strength of the two sides is too great, and he is not sure that he will win. .

Yan Xi was silent for a while, and said: "General, let's go out and see if we can find some food." I don't know how long I will stay in the mountains, and the stored food can't be moved, so let's not move it!

Yang Duoming stood up and said, "Let's go together." Even though it was winter, there was always something to eat in this deep mountain.

ps: Sorry, I have something to do tomorrow, the update at noon will be later. R8
