Chapter 245 Inside and Outside the Great Wall, Out of the Fortress
At the gate of Wanquan Tucheng, Fang Xing stood by the side, watching the carriages enter with a serious face. sounds of nature
Most of the wounded in the car had frostbite on their feet, but under this medical condition, it was meaningless to persevere, so Fang Xing singled out these people and left them in Wanquan to recuperate.
The wounded soldiers sitting in the carriage looked at Fang Xing gratefully. If someone else led the army, maybe they would go to Xinghe together.
Fang Xing said with a smile: "Everyone don't need to worry, I have already made an agreement with Mr. Ding, and everyone will be properly settled here."
"Mr. Xie Fang!"
"Mr. Fang, thank you very much!"
Most of the sergeants thanked excitedly, but one sergeant looked depressed and said: "Mr. Fang, I wanted to follow my husband to Xinghe to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, but this is so disappointing. I am so angry!"
Fang Xing walked over to comfort him and said, "What's the rush? Daming has many enemies, take good care of his feet, and there will be more opportunities to kill enemies and make meritorious deeds in the future."
Ding Feng said coyly from the side: "Mr. Fang, please don't worry, there is no shortage of Wanquan medicinal materials and doctors."
Fang Xing followed to the earthen house where the sick and injured were housed. Looking at these gray rooms, he felt a little unsettled.
Ding Feng watched the words and told the servants: "Clean up the house quickly, and light the charcoal fire by the way."
Fang Xing nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ding."
Ding Feng smiled apologetically, "No, it should."
Fang Xing stretched out his hand to take a small package from Xin Laoqi, and said calmly: "These brothers will trouble Mr. Ding, here are some treasures, count them as their expenses here."
Ding Feng wanted to refuse, but Fang Xing shook his head and said, "These are Fang's comrades, within the scope of my ability, I will not stand by and watch."
"Mr. Fang, this..."
Ding Feng had done it before, so he wanted to sell it right now, but Fang Xing's face was business-like, which made him feel at a loss.
Fang Xing stuffed the burden over, and then said: "I originally wanted to use the money to go to the grassland to exchange some meat with those herdsmen, but I just thought that my Daming's enemies are their relatives, so forget it."
Nima! In the faint words, evil spirits overflowed.
Fang Xing never thought that the army could be separated from the common people, and that it was just a small group of people doing bad things, this kind of statement was just deceiving himself.
Without the support of those herdsmen, how could the Wacha people have swept across the grassland?
When he saw that it was Ding Feng who sent Fang Xing and the others out in person, the little flag officer who guarded the gate hurriedly lowered his head and tried to shrink his body, trying to avoid Fang Xing's sight.
Fang Xing's gaze swept over without stopping, then he turned around and cupped his hands and said, "Master Ding, please stop, Fang will set off now."
Ding Feng cupped his hands, and after Fang woke up and walked away, he turned around and scolded the Xiaoqi official who stood up again: "What kind of shameful thing looks like shrinking its head!"
Of course, the little flag officer couldn't say that he treated Fang Xing too slowly. In that case, it would be against Ding Feng's attitude just now. He felt that he would be dismissed from his post and become a big soldier again.
But Ding Feng lay down on the bed as soon as he got back to the clinic, his whole body was drenched with sweat.
"The two princes in the Xuan Mansion thought that they could meet both sides, but it was rumored that the emperor's grandson was brave and decisive. Now they are doing well, but when the emperor's grandson gains real power..."
Ding Feng felt that he was very lucky. His body trembled slightly because of fear, and he sneered, "Not only Zheng Heng will be finished by then, but those two will also be unable to escape!"
...
Beiping is also snowing, but it is not as cold as Zhu Di.
Zhu Di moved his sore knee slightly, listening to Zheng Heng's report on the recent situation.
Zheng Heng glanced at Zhu Zhanji, but Zhu Zhanji's expression was natural, even smiling, which made him a little startled.
Could it be that the palace of the emperor's grandson is already this deep?
Lowering his head, Zheng Heng said: "The Wacha army is wandering on the front line of Xinghe. The minister has ordered the soldiers of the Xuanfu to prepare for the battle. At the same time, he sent 3,000 people to Xinghe to test and clear the way for our army."
Zhu Di nodded, and then said, "I see."
After Zheng Heng stepped back, Zhu Zhanji let go of his hand, but he crushed a luggage list in his hand into waste paper.
"Zhanji, what do you think?"
Zhu Di asked suddenly.
Zhu Zhanji hurriedly restrained his mind, and replied: "Grandfather, grandson still thinks that the enemy of Xinghe is nothing to fear. When our army sets out, the enemy will inevitably be frightened by the news, and Xinghe's front line will naturally be empty."
Zhu Zhanji said with piercing eyes: "Grandfather, can you let Fang Xing's troops go back first?"
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Didn't you already write a letter?"
Zhu Zhanji hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The troops are dispatched in such weather, and my grandson is worried that the department will not be able to withstand the wind and snow, so I wrote a letter to order them to come back without authorization, and I also ask the emperor to forgive me."
"Why!"
Zhu Di sighed, "Get up now."
Zhu Zhanji got up, and heard Zhu Di say: "Xinghe had Shacheng to attack the enemy before, and then there was a perfect rescue. It can be called a sharp sword for our Ming Dynasty to go deep into the grassland! Do you think Mahamu doesn't know this truth? "
Zhu Zhanji changed his expression and said, "Grandfather, will Mahamu invade on a large scale?"
If Mahamu's entire army raided, it would be difficult for the small Xinghe Fort to block the opponent's front, and Fang Xing's 3,000 people would only last a little longer.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji hoped that Fang Xing would come back quickly after receiving his letter, but Zhu Di said quietly: "Zhanji, your Zhao Wangshu has lived in Beiping for a long time, and Zheng Heng is also a veteran. This assignment is not bad!"
Zhu Zhanji bowed his head and said yes, but he thought of Zhao Wang's gloomyness in his heart.
This King Zhao is also a wonderful flower, his original wife's family is not prominent, so he divorced her on the grounds of childlessness, and immediately married Mu Sheng's daughter.
This move made Zhao Wang not only marry the Duke of Qian, but also have a relationship with Zhang Fu, the British Duke, killing two birds with one stone!
And Mu Sheng's move was also a bit of a fool's errand, which made the prince at that time very unhappy.
Walking out of the Nuan Pavilion, Zhu Zhanji looked into the distance, feeling confused.
Brother Dehua, have you turned around yet?
...
As the north wind whistled, outside the Great Wall, the field of vision was all white.
But in this place where thousands of mountains and birds are flying and thousands of people are gone, a group of people slowly left Yehu Ridge.
Yehu Ridge has always been a battleground for military strategists. After ten miles down, there is a plain.
Fang Xing pulled back the cloth covering his face, his eyebrows were all white.
"We have reached the grassland!"
Even if it is a withered yellow grass covered with snow, it still makes people feel excited.
"Finally, I don't have to wade through muddy water!"
Lin Qun'an's pale complexion finally got better, and Meng Jiao also regained some energy, yelling to speed up.
Only Wang He, this guy's skinny horse can no longer carry him. In the end, he had the cheek to sneak into the supply camp, and settled himself in bags of grain, not only did not need to walk, but it was also very warm.
Seeing the high-spirited Wang He, Fang Xing frowned and said, "Wang Supervisor, once you enter the grassland, you may be attacked by the enemy at any time, so you should go to the luggage."
"Mr. Fang, don't scare our family!"
Wang He looked around, shook his head and said, "At this moment, the Wacha people should probably be drinking kumiss and beating their wives in their tents! How could they come out and attack us?"
Fang Xing took out the binoculars to look around, and ordered: "Old Seven, let the brothers clean up the muskets, arrange the weapons, and spread out the formation."
