Chapter 1586 Siege【8】
This third master of the Shi family is none other than the younger brother of the prefect of Linhe Prefecture.
He was a scholar himself, but when he traveled to the northwest, he saw that there were too few people in the northwest who could read and write, so he opened an academy here and taught the people in the northwest to read. This teaching lasted for nearly twenty years.
My wife is also from the northwest, but because the northwest is too chaotic, Mr. Shi San is worried about the safety of his wife and children, so he has long sent his wife and children to the capital to settle down.
This time, the family members saw that Long'an Mansion was about to be in danger and did not want him to die in the northwest for the sake of the academy, so they sent people to take him back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at Shijiazhuang to rest, he was captured by the soldiers lurking inside.
This arrest lasted more than two months, and all the nurses and bodyguards hired by Shi Jiayang were killed.
Because Mr. Shi San was the master, the Rong people thought he was useful, so they did not kill him, but tortured him.
Mr. Shi San's body is covered with scars. He has endured so hard that he is now skinny and skinny, with the skin on his face drooping.
However, after learning that Qin Sanlang and others had killed thousands of households in Jinzhang, he became energetic again.
He was not afraid of the heads of thousands of households in the golden account held by Qin Sanlang, so he grabbed Qin Sanlang's hand and said: "Young man, kill well! If the soldiers of Chu are like you, why worry about the army being immortal? Why worry about it?" Is the country in jeopardy?"
As he said that, he actually started crying.
Although he is not from the northwest, he has stayed in the northwest for half his life. He has seen with his own eyes that the northwest has changed from an impregnable place to a place trampled by the army. You can imagine the pain and frustration in his heart.
This was also the reason why he was reluctant to listen to his brother and move to the capital.
Just because he believed that the northwest would become like this because the emperor killed Wei Guogong and his family.
Qin Sanlang was not used to being grabbed by strangers, so he withdrew his hand and said, "Master Shi San, don't be sad. The anti-Japanese army from the south is coming towards the northwest. We will definitely be able to take back the land occupied by the soldiers."
"It's difficult~" Mr. Shi San sighed and wiped his tears.
"Doctor Dai, look at Master Shi San's injuries." Qin Sanlang had no time to comfort Master Shi San. After calling Doctor Dai to look at his injuries, he immediately asked Xie Cheng: "Are the Rong people in Zhuangzi clean?"
The blood sprayed on Xie Cheng's body had not yet dried. After wiping his face, he said: "A total of 1,031 people, all of them have been cleaned up. The Rong people who were stunned by the poison were also beheaded by the soldiers. Don't worry. .”
It is a custom to kill enemies on the battlefield. When cleaning the battlefield, you will give the enemy a last-ditch blow. Either chop off the head with a knife or pierce the heart with a knife to ensure that the enemy is completely dead.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Baihu rushed in with people and shouted: "Sanlang is not good, the Rong people have begun to gather!"
Liu Baihu did not follow to attack Shijiazhuang, but instead took his soldiers to stand sentry outside to prevent the Rong people lurking near Shijiazhuang from coming to rescue after the situation here was exposed.
But the nearby Rong people were dispatched, but they were not here to rescue them. Instead, they were running towards the county seat of Guanlu County.
"The soldiers are out?" Qin Sanlang was surprised and asked quickly: "Are you going to attack Guanlu County or go straight to Xing'an Prefecture?!"
Going to the county seat of Guanlu County is the same road as going to Xing'an Prefecture.
"I'm not sure, but I saw a large number of Rong people suddenly appearing and heading towards the county seat." Liu Baihu thought of the Rong people marching as densely as ants, and was frightened. He said in a trembling voice: "Sanlang, there are so many Rong people." Ah, I’m afraid there are still people lurking in other places, and Xing’an Mansion will be doomed this time!”
Qin Sanlang's face turned dark when he heard this.
He received two letters from Xiaoyu.
The first letter said that she had arrived at Leijiazhuangzi in Guishi Town and that everything was safe, so she asked him not to worry.
The second letter said that Lei Jia Zhuangzi was being targeted by the Rong. She followed Gao Lei to Xing'an Mansion and told him not to worry. Even if they were separated, she could still find them with the help of the Lei Jia caravan. he.
When the war is approaching, it is right for Xiaoyu to follow Gao Lei and hide in Xing'an Mansion.
Just because the Rong army will burn down the villages, towns and counties they pass by when they march. If Xiaoyu and the others continue to stay in Zhuangzi, their final fate will only be worse.
When going to Xing'an Prefecture, at least it will be blocked by a towering city wall and guarded by soldiers from the Fucheng garrison camp, so it will be safer.
But since Xiaoyu has already gone to Xing'an Mansion, he must rush there. If Xing'an Mansion cannot be defended, he can take her to escape... He will not let Xiaoyu face the war alone!
Qin Sanlang's heart ached when he thought of the danger Xiaoyu might encounter.
After a while, he said: "Liu Baihu, take your soldiers to stay and guard. After you have dealt with the matter in Shijiazhuang, you can lead your troops to rescue the people in other villages."
They have only cleaned up a dozen villages and villages these days, but there are too many villages in Guanlu County, and the people in those villages have probably been harmed by the soldiers.
It would be nice to let Liu Baihu stay and help.
When they turn back again, just take Liu Baihu with them.
Then he said: "Brother Xie, please count the soldiers immediately. In two quarters of an hour, we will take a shortcut to the county seat. If the soldiers attack the county seat, we will help defend the county seat first. If the soldiers bypass the county seat and go straight to Xing'an Prefecture, we will Hurry up and rush in front of them, and unite soldiers from various counties along the way to break up the ambush."
Master Shi San's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he grabbed Qin Sanlang and asked, "Young man, what did you say? Do you know how to block an ambush?"
Blocking an ambush is actually to use the advantages of terrain, traps, time, etc. to conduct small ambush again and again when the troops are scarce.
Such an ambush cannot kill all the enemy troops, but it can delay the enemy's attack.
As long as the enemy's attack is delayed, Da Chu's reinforcements can arrive, and Xing'an Mansion may be saved!
Qin Sanlang nodded: "Well, my uncles at home are soldiers. I have read some military books since I was a child, so I know how to fight."
Master Shi San was overjoyed, and his eyes were shining when he saw Qin Sanlang: "Okay, okay, if all the young families in Dachu are like you, why worry about the immortality of the army!"
Hong Dao: "..."
Here we go again, you’ve already praised me twice.
Then he looked at Qin Sanlang and reported: "Sir, the injured soldiers have been settled."
Lurking in Shijiazhuang were thousands of households with golden accounts and thousands of Rong soldiers. Although they were helped by poison, more than a dozen soldiers were killed or injured.
Qin Sanlang nodded, looked at Liu Baihu and said, "Please leave the injured soldiers to Liu Baihu."
After saying that, he handed the heads of thousands of households in the golden account to Hong Dao and asked him to install them.
He wiped his face with a cloth and was about to leave, but Master Shi San said: "Wait, take me with you, I can help you!"
Liu Baihu frowned and said: "You are just a teacher, what can you do to help Qin Baihu? It's better to stay in Zhuangzi and take care of yourself, and then set off to the capital after the war."
Don't make any more trouble, okay? !
Master Shi San ignored Liu Baihu, only looked at Qin Sanlang and said: "Young man, you are only a hundred households. Even if you can reach the next county ahead of the Rong people, the magistrate and hundred households of that county can listen to you." ? Maybe I will kick you out. But if you take me with you, the situation will be different. The adults along the way will also help you for the sake of the Shi family and Mr. Yao. "
