Chapter 340 Distressed
The weather in early spring has changed very quickly. Yesterday was still sunny and clear, but today there is light rain, lingering and lingering.
Looking at the raindrops slowly falling from the sky, Yuxi frowned. The light rain is okay, but if it rains heavily, it will definitely increase the burden on the soldiers. But this kind of thing is also mutual, it is not easy for them, and it will only be worse for Beiyao.
Xu Wu walked in quickly and said, "Ma'am, 20,000 recruits have arrived, and Weiguo is making arrangements now. The remaining 30,000 recruits should be able to arrive in the future."
Yu Xi looked at Xu Wu with a smile on his face, and was a little puzzled.
Xu Wu hurriedly explained: "General, the recruits recruited this time all brought their own weapons, in addition to strong crossbows!" Xu Wu was worried that he would not be able to defend Yucheng because there were no more weapons in Yucheng. Equipped. Fighting depends not only on people, but also on weapons.
Yu Xi relaxed slightly, and said, "That's good." I'm afraid that the weapons in the hands of these recruits were also confiscated.
Xu Wu told Yuxi about another thing: "Madam, foster father said that you want to match someone for you. This way it will be safer for you to go out. Madam, the person is waiting outside, you can see me!"
Yuxi was a little surprised, and asked, "What is this person's identity?" To be worthy of her side, not only must be trustworthy, but also have high martial arts skills.
Xu Wu lowered his voice and said, "Ma'am, it's the black widow." Yuxi had heard of this name and had this person do things several times, but she had never met her.
When someone walked in, Yuxi looked at it carefully. I saw that the black widow was about thirty years old. He was wearing a white silk plain-faced jacket, a light green horse-faced skirt, a ponytail, and blue-and-white porcelain double hairpins. The appearance is very ordinary, and the eyes are not the slightest wave.
Yuxi felt that the person in front of her was very harmless, so she didn't know why she chose such a name. Yu Xi asked; "What should I call you?"
The woman said: "Ma'am, you can call me Awan." She didn't know how many aliases she used, and this Awan was also said casually by her.
A woman actually named herself a code name like Black Widow, there must be a story in it. However, Yuxi is not a curious person, so she didn't go to the bottom of it. All she needs to know is that Ah Wan can protect her. Yuxi nodded her head and said: "Awan, I will go out later, you can go out with me!" This is the approval for Aguan to follow her.
A Wan nodded and said, "Okay."
It was also at noon that day that Yunqing received an urgent mail from Yucheng. Yun Qingjiang's face was gloomy, he didn't expect Battelle to put them together.
Yunqing immediately asked Gao Song to send someone to send a letter to Feng Dajun, and summoned Feng Dajun back. He can only rest assured if Feng Dajun guards the city of pickaxe. Yucheng is important, as is Pickaxe City.
Cui Mo knew that the Northern captive army had arrived under the walls of Yucheng, and said, "General, Yucheng only has 40,000 horses, and the recruits are not strong enough to fight. We must return immediately."
Yun Qing nodded and said, "You first brought 40,000 people back to Yucheng." He had to make arrangements for the affairs of Haocheng before he could go back.
Cui Mo hesitated, and said: "General, there are only 70,000 people in Pick City, and I took 40,000 away, so it's not safe to keep only 30,000?"
Yun Qing said: "Don't worry about this. There is Tai on Jinzhou City, Du Zheng on Tongguan, and I believe Feng Dajun can make arrangements for Yanzhou City." It's time to beat back the northern captives and come back to take back the territory.
Cui Mo didn't have another word, and turned around to make arrangements.
In the evening, Yunqing went to Han Jianming and told him about the attack by the captive army: "Brother, you should go back to the capital earlier!" If Han Jianming was alone, he would definitely keep Han Jianming behind. But there is still a big family in the capital, and Han Jianming must return to the capital.
Han Jianming said anxiously: "Are Yuxi and the child still in Yucheng? Then they are not very dangerous now?" With this girl's temperament, she will definitely not leave at this critical moment. If the city breaks down, adults and children will die.
Yun Qing said: "Yuxi and the child will be fine.
"
Han Jianming knew that staying here would not help him, so he said, "I am in a state where I am not suitable for a long journey, but I can't stay in Haocheng either. Send me to Henan tomorrow!" After all, he was appointed by the emperor Imperial envoy, this time he came to the northwest to perform official duties. Although the task was not completed, it did not make the situation worse. The emperor couldn't find a name to deal with him.
Yun Qing didn't talk nonsense, and said, "Okay."
Han Jianming hesitated for a while and said, "The imperial court may not agree to your request for the time being. But after you calm down the Yucheng incident, you will have a greater chance of succeeding in submitting the paper." Unless you are forced to, the emperor will not May agree to this.
Yun Qing recalled the news he received at noon, and said: "Yan Wushuang has already captured Jiang Houye alive, and with Yan Wushuang's ability, it won't be long before Liaodong will fall into his hands. Yan Wushuang has endured for more than ten years, for the sake of To avenge the Yan family. Once Yan Wushuang occupies Liaodong, he will definitely lead his troops to the capital. At that time, it is unknown whether the emperor will survive." With Yan Wushuang's temperament, once he invades the capital, he will definitely kill the emperor of.
Han Jianming's expression changed, and he said, "Then I have to go back to the capital quickly." There were only the old and the weak, women and children left at home, and if there was turmoil in the capital, there would be no one to protect them.
Yun Qing said: "You don't have to worry. No matter how much Yan Wushuang complains, he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately." Yan Wushuang will only find revenge on the emperor and the Song family, and will not attack the old and weak women and children frantically.
Han Jianming said worriedly: "The capital is in turmoil, and there is no one in charge at home. I am afraid that some people will take advantage of the situation to rob." The Duke's Mansion is a fat sheep in the eyes of those people. I am afraid that the elderly and children will be hurt by this person.
Yun Qing said calmly: "Don't be in a hurry. If you are really worried, write a letter and ask them to find a safe place to hide, or spend a lot of money to hire guards. If you insist on going back to the capital like this, you may I will throw my life on the road." Having money but not enough ability to protect yourself will indeed be robbed. It's just that everything needs to be done according to one's ability.
Han Jianming knew that Yun Qing was right, he was very weak now, and if he wanted to return to the capital, he would really die on the way. Han Jianming smiled wryly and said, "For the time being, that's the only way to go."
Yun Qing said: "Brother, I will send someone to pick you up when our side is stable." Yuxi likes to think wildly, and it should be better to have relatives by her side.
Han Jianming showed joy and said, "Okay." Although it was not realistic for the whole family to move to the Northwest, Yunqing's words made him feel confident.
Yun Qing had a lot of things at hand, and he delayed a lot of things after talking for such a long time: "Brother, you should have a good rest!" After speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing that Yunqing was about to leave, Han Jianming said in a hoarse voice: "Brother-in-law, Yuxi has suffered a lot since she was a child, I hope you can treat her well." After a few days of comfortable life in her mother's house, she married Yunqing It was a few days of peace and stability. Sometimes Han Jianming felt that Yuxi's luck couldn't be worse. Although the old bald donkey Liaotong is hateful, he does have some skills.
Hearing this, Yun Qing turned around and asked: "Yu Xi said that she has always had a good life in the mansion." Just looking at Yu Xi's temperament, she knew that she had a bad life in her natal family. How can a spoiled girl be so strong and independent. But Yun Yuxi never talked about her hardships in the capital before, but only talked about the kindness Qiu Shi and Han Jianming had treated her. As for Han Jingyan and the old lady's treatment of her, they didn't mention a single word.
Han Jianming was taken aback, and said, "Didn't Yuxi tell you?" After speaking, he smiled wryly and shook his head, "That's right, no matter how hard that girl is, she keeps it in her heart and never tells anyone."
At that moment, Han Jianming talked about all the things that Yuxi had experienced in these years, until Yuxi was almost forced to death by Han Jingyan.
Han Jianming said sadly: "My mother took Yuxi back home, and she didn't say a word for half a month. She was heartbroken by my third uncle." Han Jianming was exaggerating. It's too late for Yuxi to be happy after adopting, so she won't be sad. It's just that at that time, in order not to let people find fault, they hid in the yard and didn't come out.
Yun Qing's eyes were burning, and his fists were creaking. If Han Jingyan was here, he would have been beaten to death by Yun Qing.
Han Jianming said with guilt on his face, "It's because my elder brother didn't take good care of her, otherwise he wouldn't let her suffer so much and suffer so much."
Although Yunqing was angry, he didn't vent his anger on Han Jianming. Han Jingyan is Yuxi's biological father, before adopting, not to mention Han Jianming, even his current mother-in-law, Qiushi, can't take care of her.
Han Jianming thought that the past few years when Yu Xi had been in the Northwest had been full of disasters, and said, "Brother-in-law, Yu Xi has suffered so much, I just hope she can live well in the future."
Yun Qing said: "Don't worry about this big brother, I won't let her suffer any more harm." Although Xi was injured twice, Yun Qing blamed himself, thinking that he didn't protect Yu Xi well. But Yuxi's two injuries were caused by herself, not Yunqing's fault.
Han Jianming nodded and said, "Then I'm relieved." He told Yunqing this purposely, hoping that Yunqing would show more pity for Yuxi.
Gao Song came over and said, "General, Tongguan has sent the battle report."
Han Jianming hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, go get busy!" Yunqing's time is precious now, and he was able to listen to him talk for a long time because he was talking about Yuxi's affairs.
After returning to the study and reading the battle report, Yun Qing looked solemn. He Ye, the general soldier of Henan, sent troops to attack Tongguan. He Ye probably got the news that the northern exiles were planning to attack Yucheng, and knew that he was going back to help Yucheng, so he wanted to take advantage of the chaos.
Gao Song cursed angrily, and said, "He Ye is a bastard. I will kill him if I have a chance in the future." After cursing, he asked, "General, what should we do now?"
Yun Qing put down the battle report and said, "Du Zheng just sent the battle report and didn't say that he would send troops to support him. He should be able to withstand it." Du Zheng now has 50,000 troops on hand, Tongguan is easy to defend but difficult to attack, Yun Qing Not too worried. R8
