Chapter 1596 Attack the City, Remember
"You still want to continue traveling to ambush?" Liu Baihu held up a torch, looked at Qin Sanlang's face and said, "No, no, Qin Baihu, you'd better get some sleep first, otherwise you will die."
He rushed to Ancang County day and night and fought an ambush for another day. Now his face was full of exhaustion and his body was a little swaying. If he didn't rest, he would really die from exhaustion.
After Qin Sanlang heard this, he remembered Xiaoyu's letter to him: Don't just focus on beating the Rong people, and don't worry about me, I can protect myself. But you, don't be too tired, you will die suddenly if you are too tired. I don't want to be a widow.
At the end of the letter, she also drew a strange pattern, like a fish with tears streaming down its face... Well, Qin Sanlang laughed out loud thinking about that pattern, the little fish are always so cute.
When Liu Baihu saw him suddenly laughing, he took a step back in fright and asked hurriedly: "Qin Baihu, are you crazy from exhaustion?"
Otherwise, why did you suddenly giggle? Just like the old lunatic Shi in the county.
Qin Sanlang stopped laughing and said, "Liu Baihu is right. Let's go back and have a sleep first."
Liu Baihu was overjoyed when he heard this and said hurriedly: "That's right. After you have rested, you can continue on your way to kill the soldiers. Let's go back to the county government."
Hundreds of people were rushing towards the county government office.
General Yao Qi was very responsible. He watched the city gate close with his own eyes and bolted it before leaving with his cavalry.
"Qin Baihu is back!" Magistrate Luo had been busy for a day. After sending his family back to the magistrate's house, he returned to the county government office. Seeing Qin Sanlang and the others were back, he was very happy and asked: "Is the Rong people not here?" Will you call back again?"
Qin Sanlang said: "The Rong army that left before will not come back, but there may be Rong troops coming from Long'an Prefecture and rushing to Xing'an Prefecture to support. However, the Rong people's attack on Xing'an Prefecture is considered If a commotion breaks out, General Xu will definitely send troops to help, as long as Magistrate Luo can govern the county behind closed doors before the war ends."
Qin Sanlang was too lazy to answer Magistrate Luo's questions one by one, so he said everything he needed to say at once.
It is common practice in the northwest to govern the county behind closed doors. In order to ensure the safety of the county, the city gates were only opened once every three to five days during wartime to let people in and out. The rest of the time, the county was governed behind closed doors.
Then he said: "Magistrate Luo, bring the food to the soldiers to eat so that they can have a good rest after eating."
"Hey, hey, let the Yamen pick out the food for you." Magistrate Luo immediately asked Team Leader Liu to do it.
Not long after, dozens of government officials came over carrying loads of meat, vegetable porridge and steamed buns.
As soon as it was placed safely, the soldiers rushed over and scooped out the meat and vegetable porridge from the bowl. In just a few blinks, all the food they picked was eaten.
"It's not enough, go pick some more!" Hong Dao shouted loudly. After stuffing the remaining half of the steamed bun into his mouth, he began to take a nap and waited for the new meal. But when the government servants picked out the meal, he But fell asleep.
The same goes for other soldiers. Everyone drank a bowl of meat, vegetables and sorghum porridge and ate a handful of steamed buns before falling asleep from exhaustion.
Magistrate Luo County looked at the soldiers who filled the county government's front yard, corridors, and court halls, and said in embarrassment: "Qin Baihu, this..."
"Don't worry about them, let them sleep. Go get some quilts to cover them, and light a few fires next to them to prevent them from catching cold." After Qin Sanlang drank another bowl of meat, vegetables and sorghum porridge, Asked Magistrate Luo: "How is Mr. Shi San?"
"I'm fine, I just woke up. But you, you need to have a good sleep." Mr. Shi San was also worried about the Rong people attacking the county town, but he didn't want to hold back Qin Sanlang, so he took a tranquilizer. , slept for a day, and regained enough energy, so that I could continue on the road with Qin Sanlang and the others.
Then he said: "Magistrate Luo has sent people to Tongyang County to inform Tongyang County Magistrate about the call from the Rong people. Our people have also set off in advance. You have a good sleep and wait until you lead the troops to Tongyang County." In Yang County, their trap should have been dug, so it won't delay you from ambushing the Rong people."
Although Mr. Shi San was a scholar, he was very capable of doing things. Qin Sanlang gave him the task of sending people to the next county to deliver letters in advance. Hearing this, he was half relieved and said: "That's good. I'll go to sleep first." Sleep."
Mr. Shi San said: "Go and sleep in the wing. Magistrate Luo has prepared the room for you."
"Yes." Qin Sanlang nodded and said to Xie Cheng, Yao Zongqi and the others: "You should go and rest as soon as possible. We will get up in four hours and rush on our way."
They have to continue to compete with the Rong people for time. They can just sleep for a while, not for too long, and four hours is enough.
"Hey." Xie Cheng and the others responded and went to sleep in the room assigned to them by Magistrate Luo.
The wing room that Qin Sanlang lived in was in the backyard of the Yamen. It was specially used for guests with official positions. It was relatively quiet. But as soon as he lay down, he thought of Gu Jinli, and his mind was filled with her helpless appearance in Xing'an Mansion. He was so worried. I couldn't fall asleep after closing my eyes for more than a quarter of an hour.
I had no choice but to get up and take a soothing pill before falling asleep.
They went to bed early, at midnight, and four hours later, it was only late at night, but they all got up on time.
The lights in the county government office were brightly lit, and the government officials brought prepared breakfasts to the soldiers, as well as dry food and water for them to take with them on the road.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
"Qin Baihu Order, we will gather on the street in front of the county government office in two quarters of an hour. All colleagues should prepare and set off quickly!" Zhang Tu led the soldiers with a small flag and beat the gongs and shouted, and the entire county government office was cheered by them. Voice.
Two-quarters of an hour later, all the soldiers who could still travel gathered on the street in front of the county government office.
As for the injured soldiers, they were left to recuperate.
Qin Sanlang sat on his horse, overlooking the soldiers standing all over the street, and said only one sentence to them: "Remember how we beat the Rong people yesterday. The Rong people are not terrible. They are also flesh and blood. As long as we If you dare to fight hard, the Rong people will still become the dead souls of our swords!"
"Huhuhu!" After hearing this, the soldiers responded to Qin Sanlang with only three roars.
The loud voice was so loud that Liu Baihu was so excited that he immediately asked Magistrate Luo for orders: "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, Tongyang County is our neighboring county and has always been on good terms with us. Please allow me to lead troops to Tongyang County to fight. Rong people!"
Magistrate Luo's face turned dark, and he suppressed his anger and said: "You are a member of the Ancang County Military Station. If you lead the troops and leave, what will happen to Ancang County?"
Liu County Lieutenant was carried out to see off Qin Sanlang and others. When he heard this, he wanted to strangle Liu Baihu to death.
Please give me some time to calm down.
It doesn't matter if he can't fight, he still likes to seek death. You can die if you want, wait until I pull out another hundred households of the Liu family!
Liu Baihu was scolded by Magistrate Luo and felt aggrieved, so he reluctantly sent Qin Sanlang and others out of the west gate.
After the soldiers left the city gate, Liu Baihu wanted to send them off again, but Qin Sanlang stopped him: "No need to send them off, go back and close the city gate immediately. Don't leave the city gate open, lest lurking soldiers sneak in. "
"What did you say? There are still Rong people lurking in Ancang County. Didn't they leave?" Magistrate Luo trembled when he heard the word "Rong people". These beasts can't stay in Ancang County and cause trouble in another place. go?
Qin Sanlang said: "It is not easy for the Rong people to lurk in Da Chu. There will definitely be some Rong people left behind to continue to inquire about the news. So from now on, we must always be on guard against the Rong people in Da Chu."
Then he said to Liu Baihu: "So you don't need to follow us to Tongyang County to fight against the Rong people. Ancang County is just as important, and the people in the county need you."
