Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-Four Difficult to Cook Meals
Because of Yang Hao's words, Zhu Yun's thoughts were touched, she told herself about her life experience, felt sorry for herself and hurt herself, she suddenly had an idea and expressed her wish to serve Yang Hao for the rest of her life.You must know that the maids and maids exclusively used by the male master in this era are half concubines and half maids, which are different from ordinary maids. Zhu Yun has already tactfully expressed her wish to him.
After saying this sentence, Zhu Yun was panicked and shy, and suddenly regretted her abruptness, what if Yang Hao didn't agree?After that, how could she still have the face to appear in front of him, but...but...if the Taiwei agrees... Zhu Yun's heart jumped like a deer.
Unexpectedly, Yang Hao's eyes lit up after hearing her words, he stood up hastily, said something irrelevant to what she wanted to hear, and then walked away.
"Too... Madam... Taiwei... You..."
Zhu Yun was dumbfounded, she just showed her love and scared Taiwei Yang away?Is it really so unbearable?
Yang Hao ran out of the sleeping tent, and suddenly came back, poked his head into the tent, and said with a smile: "Zhu Yun, you should rest earlier, I suddenly remembered a big matter, and I have to deal with it immediately. Then The veal smells very fragrant, let's stew it first, and taste it when I come back."
"Oh, yes..." Zhu Yun immediately showed a happy smile.
Watching Yang Hao run out of the big tent like burning his butt again, Zhu Yun picked up the spoon, stirred it gently in the bowl a few times, and scooped up a spoonful of soup.The soup is clear, the beef is bright red, and there is still a piece of milky white wild onion floating in the soup. Gently put the broth into your mouth, and the mouth is immediately full of fragrance. Zhu Yun's eyes turned into a pair of crescent moons: "Actually... Not only can I kill people, but I'm also very talented in making meals from spoons, as long as I have a chance, I will definitely be able to cook better..."
She took another spoonful of the thick and tangy beef soup into her mouth, then raised her chin, thinking obsessively: "But... did he agree or not? Or... just didn't listen to it at all." go?"
Yang Hao left the sleeping tent, walked quickly to the front of the large tent of the Chinese army, stopped suddenly, raised his eyes to look at the morning that was hanging low in the sky, and took a long breath, feeling refreshed and full of confidence. smooth.
If he is concerned, he is in chaos. Ever since he knew something happened in Fuzhou, he has been obsessed with the pros and cons of leaving and staying, so he has always been hesitant. Now Zhu Yun's words awakened the dreamer, making him suddenly realize I realized that when I thought about the response measures to the Fuzhou Rebellion, I was wrong from the most fundamental starting point.
Those who use soldiers are ruthless, and those who plan are unintentional.At this critical moment, he should remain absolutely calm and allow himself to look down on this crisis from a higher perspective. What he needs to do most now is not to care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, or to weigh the pros and cons of going and staying. Instead, we should consider what measures to take to resolve this unfavorable situation when the opportunity has been lost, reverse the unfavorable situation for him, and take the initiative back into our own hands.
Only by taking the initiative and not letting Zhao Guangyi calculate his every move, then even if he loses for a while, he can gradually change this declining trend. Otherwise, the reaction of every step is under the control of the opponent, and he will only make a wrong step. He made a wrong step and was led by the nose by Zhao Guangyi.When Li Guangrui was surprised to hear that Xiazhou was in a hurry to withdraw his troops, it was under his control, but when Li Guangrui fled to Wuding River, he suddenly set up an ambush to counterattack and killed a carbine, which was beyond his expectations. He was extremely poor and intelligent, and escaped from the sky by taking advantage of the river. Didn't Li Guangrui turn defeat into victory?
Yang Hao was originally good at finding opportunities, creating opportunities and taking the initiative in adversity.Whether he led the 50,000 Han people to flee to Fuzhou with the method of attacking the west, or planned a deadly counter-ambush for Li Jiqian, or provoked the war between Tubo, Huihe and Xiazhou, and restrained Xiazhou from developing Luzhou. Or he was assassinated in the Tang Dynasty, or he planned a strategy to counter Xiao in the prison in Shangjing, and he came back to life after being in a desperate situation.
But this time, he was almost in a mess for no other reason, but because his family business was getting bigger and bigger, and his burden was getting heavier. It turned out that he was barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. Being a white man again, he dared to work hard when he should work hard, and gave up when he should give up. However, now that he is in the northwest, with great power, he has more entanglements in his heart, more scruples, and is far less free and easy than before.
Now because of Zhu Yun's words, the haze in Yang Hao's heart disappeared, and he became much brighter.
That night, the generals who had just fallen asleep were called up by Yang Hao in turn, and summoned one by one to the main tent of the Chinese army.Yang Hao held a candle in his hand and talked with them at night by holding a candle. They had heart-to-heart talks one by one, analyzed the current situation, weighed the pros and cons of going and staying, studied various countermeasures, and unified everyone's thinking. When the sky was bright, Yang Hao said dry mouth His tongue was dry, but he also communicated with all the important generals, and his sudden idea became more mature and perfect in the discussion and debate with everyone.
The sun erupted from the east without making a sound, and Zhu Yun, who had fallen asleep on the table, was awakened by a sudden sound of drumming. She opened her eyes and saw that the sky was bright. She got up and went outside the tent to have a look. Seeing the generals from all walks of life rushing to the big tent of the Chinese army with their helmets on, Zhu Yun wondered: "What happened, the Taiwei seems to have stayed up all night and didn't have breakfast, so he summoned all the generals to discuss matters again? "
"oops!"
Zhu Yun suddenly remembered the pot of veal, and hurried back to the tent.She thought that Yang Hao said that he would come back after a while when he said that he would eat later. She had added more firewood to the stove, hoping to stew the beef so crispy and fragrant, and make it for the Taiwei to eat at night. I was so bored that I fell asleep.Zhu Yun hurried to the stove, only to see that the flame under the stove had gone out, only the sparks flickered, it seemed that it didn't take long before it went out.
Lifting the lid of the pot, he saw that the originally clear broth had become cloudy. He scooped up a piece of beef and tasted it. The stew had lost its smooth and delicious feeling. The pot of beef started to worry.
At this moment, two noisy voices reached my ears:
"These fish have to be stewed to eat, and the soup is stewed into a thick milky white, drinking it is the most nourishing."
"It's so weird, stewed fish soup to nourish the body, but eating the whole fish will not nourish the body? Greedy people like to drink soup, lazy people like to sleep, is Miss Zhuyun as greedy as you? If you want me to say, it has to be grilled to eat. Look at this fish, each one is as big as a palm. The scales are scraped and roasted. Aren't your ancestors from Langya? They're not from Jiangnan, so they love soup so much."
"Nonsense, am I thinking for Miss Zhu Yun? Such a handsome woman, if you tell her to burn the fish to a crisp, after eating a fish, her handsome appearance will be completely ruined, and her face will be rubbed like a painted face." It looks like a cat, isn't it pretty?"
"Huh? Old Ka, I heard that something is wrong. Don't you have a crush on Miss Zhuyun? I said that you blocked the river for fishing early in the morning. It's just to please Miss Zhuyun. ?”
"Nonsense! Does my old card need to please women? If I have a crush on someone's girl, I just need to hook my little finger, and she will happily get on the sedan chair without dressing up? Cough! But then again, you Said... If I really mean that, I am worthy of her in this official position, right? I heard that she is the commander's flying feather secret spy, and my old card is the majestic Captain Zuo Guoyi of the Suzhou Army... "
The two of them were still far away, but their voices were already loud, and Zhu Yun's hearing was particularly good. She heard all these words, and Zhu Yun's mouth curled up, revealing a smile that was not a smile.
"Ah! Miss Zhu Yun..."
Kaboka and Zhi Fubao walked to Zhuyun's tent, and saw the eldest girl standing pretty at the opening of the tent, Kaboka's fat black face unexpectedly turned red, and Zhuyun's clear eyes fell on In his hand, Kaboka has a red willow branch, and three palm-sized white fish are tied to the branch. Under the sun, the scales are shining, and the gills of the fish are still moving, very fresh.
Kaboka hurriedly held up the string of fish as if offering a treasure, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhuyun, this is the fish that Lao Ka found from the river early in the morning. I thought that Miss Zhuyun was still injured, so I sent it to the girl. You can change the taste and nourish your body, this fish is very fresh, and the stewed soup is the best."
"Miss Zhu Yun, don't listen to him, this broiled fish is the most delicious, and it goes with a cup of good wine..."
"Don't talk, you didn't catch him." Kaboka was furious, and gave his old friend a hard look.
Zhu Yun stretched out her hand to take the fish he handed over, and said softly: "General Ka has a heart, Zhu Yun really doesn't know how to thank the general."
When Kaboka heard her soft voice, his face blushed with excitement, rubbed his hands together and said, "No thanks, no thanks, hehe, a trifle is not a respect."
"Ah!" Zhu Yun whispered, as if she suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I stewed a pot of veal last night, and I couldn't eat it alone. The general is so kind, so I will give the broth back to the general. All right."
"Oh, don't dare to do it, then don't dare to do it."
Kaboka refused repeatedly, and Zhu Yun had already entered the tent without saying anything. Kaboka didn't dare to go in rashly, and just stretched his neck to look at the tent. After a while, Zhu Yun He brought out a mouthful of pottery, and smiled before saying anything: "General Ka, this is Zhu Yun's own stewed broth, it's not hot, general take it back and taste it fresh."
"Oh, this is so embarrassing." Kaboka was still pretending to evade, but Zhi Fubao had already grabbed the pot and hugged it to his chest.
"Woo~~~Woooo~~~" The desolate horn sounded, Zhu Yun listened to it, and said: "Listen to the sound of the horn, could it be that there is some important military?"
Kaboka smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, this is the sound of the horn, and I haven't had breakfast yet, so I won't attack the city so early."
Zhu Yun smiled sweetly: "That's not the case. A country cannot be without a king for a day, and an army cannot be without a commander for a day. The two generals are the generals who lead one side. If there is any rush, the soldiers can't find it." What should the two adults do? Zhu Yun dare not delay the business affairs of the two generals, so please go back."
"Uh..., okay, okay, then I'll go back." Kapoka was reluctant to let go, but he didn't want to be underestimated by Zhu Yun, so he walked back at every step.
The two walked a long way, Zhu Yun's ears moved, and Kaboka said happily: "Hey! You said that Miss Zhu Yun gave me meat soup, did she also have a little affection for me... Hey! How did you drink it?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, the cooking time is too old, the soup is no longer fresh, and the meat is also burnt. How can I eat this?"
"Bullshit! Are you still particular about it? Who is rushing to eat it for you? This is the meat soup that Miss Zhu Yun gave me. Bring it here..."
The two started to fight, and Zhu Yun saw it from a distance, and couldn't help laughing "eating", but then put on a face of resentment: "Oh, why is it such a black charcoal head who knows the goods? Could it be that Mr. Taiwei In your eyes, isn't this girl considered a woman?"
Unhappily returning to the tent, Zhu Yun blinked and suddenly felt sad when he brought up the string of fish: "Should this fish be stewed for him to eat, or should it be roasted?"
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yang Hao looked solemn and straight, after a rather detailed analysis speech, Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "Generals, returning to the division at this time, the far water is hard to rescue, and the near thirsty, and they are galloping all the way. In addition, the soldiers and horses are exhausted, and it is difficult to fight. Moreover, Liangzhou and Suzhou, which we have just recovered, will also be occupied by the Guiyi Army and the Ganzhou Huihe, so that all previous efforts will be wasted. In addition, the Guiyi Army and the Ganzhou Huihe will not be lost. If a good opportunity is chased and intercepted by them all the way, one can imagine the heavy loss. Therefore, Ben Shuai decided, he hits his, and I hit mine.The defense on the eastern front was handed over to Yang Jiye and Zhongfang to command nearby and act cheaply. Our western expeditionary army adhered to the original plan, and at all costs, we must capture Guasha and clean up Ganzhou later, so as to ensure that the western front has no worries.Originally, the commander wanted to wait for the Shazhou uprising, and when the Guazhou army was in turmoil, he would attack Guazhou to avoid casualties as much as possible. , Cao Yangong has confidence in his heart, let alone surrender. Today, our army has begun to step up its offensive, striving to take Guazhou as quickly as possible. If Shazhou cannot be achieved peacefully, it must be taken by force. This time, no matter what happens, the Hexi Corridor Must get through!No one or anything can influence our actions or shake our determination! " "Mu En! Li Huating!" "The end is here!" The two generals clasped their fists and went out, Yang Hao drew his command arrow and shouted sharply: "This commander ordered your two armies to attack Nancheng immediately and cut off the enemy's waterway." "Obey!" The two of them took the command arrow and clasped their fists out. "Liu Shi, Deng Hong!" "The end is here!" "This commander ordered you two to attack the North City separately. The North City has a relatively high terrain. If it cannot be breached, we must try our best to attract the defenders in the city to create opportunities for Mu En and Li Huating!" "Obey!" "Ai Yihai, this Commander ordered your troops to continue the feint attack on the West City, to prevent the enemy from retreating, and to maneuver Qingqi not to move rashly, and to wait for news from Shazhou at any time for assistance!" "The last general obeys!" Ai Yihai took the arrow and strode out. "The rest of the generals were all dispatched by the commander, and followed the commander to attack the east city. Each battalion took turns to fight, and the enemy in the city was not given a moment's respite!" All the generals responded with a bang, retreated out of the tent like a tide, got on their horses each, brought their own soldiers and guards and galloped back to the main formation. Yang Hao picked up four more letters, which he wrote hastily all night without sleep, and called out: "Dark night!" In response to the sound outside the tent, a person flashed in.An Ye is not a single person, but a group of people. They are a group of people with calm temperament, quick wit, and excellent martial arts, carefully selected from the Feiyu secret spies cultivated by Gu Daji and Gu Zhuyun's father and daughter according to the killer standard. He obeys Yang Hao's orders, and usually cooperates with Ma Yi's people as security guards, and in an emergency, he directly acts according to Yang Hao's instructions. Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "These four secret letters must be handed over directly to Xiazhou Zhongfang, Linzhou Yang Jiye, Shuzhong Tongyu, and Shangjing Xiaohou, all of them!" "Obey!" The dark feather guard didn't say much, took the secret letter and put it in his arms, turned around and left. Yang Hao looked at the big tent that was deserted, and then he let out a sigh of relief. Xiao Chuo is a heroic female heroine with great talent and boldness. Regardless of the personal relationship between the two of them, she will not sit and watch Zhao Guangyi occupy the northwest. Since Zhao Guangyi has made a move on Fuzhou, Xiao Chuo will definitely do something. Doubt, not too public or private, he should send this letter.What Zhongfang and Yang Jiye explained was relatively simple. Yang Hao had already authorized them to do it at a low price according to the situation. In Yang Hao's thinking, all the Zhejia families in Fugu fell into Chizhong's hands, Fuzhou was leaderless, and the Zhejia army became a mess. In front of the Zhao Guanjia who had been preparing for a long time, they might not be able to hold on.But once Fuzhou is lost, Linzhou is in danger of being completely lost, and the imperial soldiers and horses can follow the old Great Wall and go straight to Linzhou in a mighty way. The troops on the eastern front were limited, and without the strong support of the Zhejia Army, Yang Jiye was alone. If he defended the city and fought a war of attrition with the imperial soldiers, the consequences would be extremely dire, so he made the worst assumption: if the government The state has been lost, so we can decisively abandon Linzhou, use Yinzhou and Luzhou as bases, and shrink our troops to retreat to Hengshan.In this way, on the one hand, the front line of the Song army can be lengthened and their logistical burden can be increased; If the prefecture is lost, it is just a Lin prefecture that has lost its strategic role, but it can buy him enough time to calmly open up the Hexi Corridor, take down the five prefectures of Shaguasu, Gansu and Liang, and completely control the entire Hexi in hand.In this case, actively abandoning the defense of Linzhou and concentrating on the second line of defense in Hengshan can reverse the passive situation of insufficient troops on the eastern front and being subject to the imperial court's preemptive strikes. And relying on the dangerous pass of Hengshan Mountain, when the time is right, they can let the horse go to the Central Plains at any time, and then return to the two states of Linfu. This is a good deal. At the same time, because Zhao Guangyi showed his ferocious claws and teeth, he couldn't wait to use troops against the northwest, and the Fuqi he had buried in Shuzhong should also play a role.Now the leader who controls the 100,000 rebels in central Shu is called Zhao Dezhu, but the leaders No. 2, 3 and 4 withdrew from the power center because the original leader died in battle or gradually showed his own inadequacy under the suppression of the court. The leaders who now sit on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th positions are all newly-emerged figures in the past two years. In the past few years, using the financial resources, material resources, manpower and information secretly supported by Yang Hao, Tong Yu and Wang Peng, who are also the machetes, Liuhe Tietou, who has outstanding achievements in the Central Shu Rebel Army, stands out, and has become the second and third figure in the Central Shu Rebel Army.Number four is a farmer who just joined the rebel army last spring. His name is Wang Xiaobo. He quickly became the leader of the rebel army because of his bravery in combat, his righteousness, and his repeated military exploits. Because in the past two years, the military operations of the Shu government to suppress the rebels have become more and more frequent. After several defeats, Zhao Dezhu lacked confidence and began to retreat to Bazhou, Wenchuan, and Weizhou in the middle of Shu. You can immediately retreat to the territory of the Tubo people, and you can avoid being eaten up by the imperial soldiers and horses in one fell swoop.However, being confined to this corner also limited the development of the rebel army and its influence in Shu, and the shortage of ordnance, food and grass became increasingly scarce. Since Pan Mei was ordered to sweep across the south of the Yangtze River at that time and wiped out the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River who had not yet formed a climate, Yang Hao did not interfere with the movement of the rebel army to retreat westward to Mount Qingcheng, and kept in touch with Xiaoliu. He was secretly notified of the news of which cities he found had a large amount of food, grass, and military equipment, so that if the rebels had the help of God, they would always gain in every battle. He went to robbery, and the team survived. Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, now is the time to use this army.Yang Hao instructed Xiaoliu and Tietou to persuade Zhao Dezhu to lead an army in the secret letter to attack Maozhou, Long'an, Brazil, Mianzhu and other places in the north from Jizongguan, or go out from Taoguan in the south to raid Pengzhou, Shuzhou, Gongzhou, and Meizhou, when necessary, troops will come to the city of Chengdu, and beat Zhao Guangyi well. Once the center of Shu shakes, the pressure on Hexi will be relieved. Moreover, although there are many rebels, they claim to have an army of 100,000, but they are a mob. The old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled can only stand guard and watch, and those who can only wave flags, shout and set up seedlings to make a fuss. Yes, if not tempered.This team will not be useful in the future. However, the leader of this rebel army is Zhao Dezhu, the shopkeeper of the salt well, Zhao Dezhu. Sixth, if you can't control him, then get rid of him and completely control this rebel army in your own hands.He was also worried about whether Xiao Liu could complete his mission. Standing silently and pondering for a long time, Yang Hao finally felt a little hungry in his stomach. At this moment, he remembered the pot of veal stewed by Zhu Yun. Just as he was about to eat a bowl, he heard the drums roar, and the siege battle started again , Yang Hao's spirit was lifted, he stretched out his hand to take off the cloak draped on the handsome chair, and said in a vibrating voice: "Come on, follow the commander to supervise the battle!" Zhu Yun finally decided to grill the fish and eat it. She removed the scales of the fish, removed the internal organs, cleaned it, and then lit a fire under the stove, set up fish skewers and carefully grilled it. The curtain was lifted to facilitate the smoke. , the sun slanted in from the tent opening, and shone on the fish skewers. As the heat baked, the fish gradually took on a golden color, and drops of fish oil dripped into the fire, burning sizzlingly. Zhu Yun couldn't help smiling when she saw it, and praised herself complacently: "I really have a talent for cooking with a spoon." At this moment, the war drums rumbled, and the people outside shouted and neighed, creating a hustle and bustle. Zhu Yun was astonished, and hurriedly raised the fish roe stand, away from the fire, then got up and walked out of the tent, only to see the officers and soldiers of each battalion being hurriedly mobilized, a group of hundreds of ordnance soldiers pushing huge siege equipment, shouting horns The son marched towards Guazhou City step by step; thousands of soldiers wearing the military uniforms of Xiazhou, Liangzhou, and Suzhou, led camels carrying whirlwind cannons, and pulled carts of stone cannons. Rush out of the camp.There is also a large bed crossbow carried by four people, there are more than two hundred pieces, and the clusters of arrows as thick as spears are slanting upwards, shining in the cold light in the sun.The archer carried a box of arrows and trotted forward... Judging from this scene, it was a powerful offensive that had never been used in the siege two days ago. Zhu Yun hurriedly stopped a school lieutenant who was passing by in a hurry, and asked: "The siege started so early today? The three armies don't need to use it." Meal?" The school lieutenant shouted loudly: "The commander-in-chief has ordered that each army attack the city in turn, not to give the defenders in the city a moment's respite. If they want to eat, each battalion has to take turns to come." "Drive! Drive! Give way, let's not stop this general from returning to camp!" Ai Yihai held the reins in one hand, opened his arms, and had a big knife in his waist. While shouting arrogantly, he led his guards, who were more than a hundred horse bandits, galloping past the horse with whips and whips. Behind the buttocks stirred up yellow sand in the sky. With a sound of "Huh~~", a mighty wind blows towards the face, carrying the dust and sand raised by the war horse, like a sandstorm blowing, Zhu Yun covered her eyes with her hands, and waited for the wind and sand to blow over her eyes before opening her eyes. Look, just now the school lieutenant has run away, Zhu Yunyao snorted and reprimanded softly: "This Ai Yihai, behaves like a gangster, why is he still acting like a horse bandit..." She shook her head disapprovingly, turned back and walked back to the tent. After a while, she heard an angry scream from the tent: "My fish! Damn Ai Yihai!" On the same morning, the ancient city of Dunhuang was also busy. The majestic Qilian Mountains lie in the south, the vast Lop Nur lies in the west, the rugged Beisai Mountains lie in the north, and the Sanwei Mountains stand in the east with steep peaks and rocks. In the middle is Dunhuang, Shazhou, the base camp of the Guiyi Army. There are nine major families in Dunhuang, Shazhou. They are local clans born on the specific land of Dunhuang. Among them, the family with the longest history can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. Since the Han Dynasty, they have been officials in Shazhou for a long time. , naturally formed a strong family power, like a camel thorn with well-developed roots, firmly controlling this desert oasis, monopolizing the political and economic lifeline of the Dunhuang area for a long time. The nine clans are Zhang, Suo, Cao, Yin, Li, Si, Yan, An, and Linghu. Early in the morning, all the "heads" of the major families in Dunhuang were invited by the Zhang family. The Zhang family was over eighty years old, and Zhang Chengxian, who had been out of the world for a long time, suddenly posted a post, inviting the heads of all the families to come to the mansion When we get together, who can not give this face?
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yang Hao looked solemn and straight, after a rather detailed analysis speech, Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "Generals, returning to the division at this time, the far water is hard to rescue, and the near thirsty, and they are galloping all the way.

Because in the past two years, the military operations of the Shu government to suppress the rebels have become more and more frequent. After several defeats, Zhao Dezhu lacked confidence and began to retreat to Bazhou, Wenchuan, and Weizhou in the middle of Shu. You can immediately retreat to the territory of the Tubo people, and you can avoid being eaten up by the imperial soldiers and horses in one fell swoop.However, being confined to this corner also limited the development of the rebel army and its influence in Shu, and the shortage of ordnance, food and grass became increasingly scarce. Since Pan Mei was ordered to sweep across the south of the Yangtze River at that time and wiped out the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River who had not yet formed a climate, Yang Hao did not interfere with the movement of the rebel army to retreat westward to Mount Qingcheng, and kept in touch with Xiaoliu. He was secretly notified of the news of which cities he found had a large amount of food, grass, and military equipment, so that if the rebels had the help of God, they would always gain in every battle. He went to robbery, and the team survived. Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, now is the time to use this army.Yang Hao instructed Xiaoliu and Tietou to persuade Zhao Dezhu to lead an army in the secret letter to attack Maozhou, Long'an, Brazil, Mianzhu and other places in the north from Jizongguan, or go out from Taoguan in the south to raid Pengzhou, Shuzhou, Gongzhou, and Meizhou, when necessary, troops will come to the city of Chengdu, and beat Zhao Guangyi well. Once the center of Shu shakes, the pressure on Hexi will be relieved. Moreover, although there are many rebels, they claim to have an army of 100,000, but they are a mob. The old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled can only stand guard and watch, and those who can only wave flags, shout and set up seedlings to make a fuss. Yes, if not tempered.This team will not be useful in the future. However, the leader of this rebel army is Zhao Dezhu, the shopkeeper of the salt well, Zhao Dezhu. Sixth, if you can't control him, then get rid of him and completely control this rebel army in your own hands.He was also worried about whether Xiao Liu could complete his mission. Standing silently and pondering for a long time, Yang Hao finally felt a little hungry in his stomach. At this moment, he remembered the pot of veal stewed by Zhu Yun. Just as he was about to eat a bowl, he heard the drums roar, and the siege battle started again , Yang Hao's spirit was lifted, he stretched out his hand to take off the cloak draped on the handsome chair, and said in a vibrating voice: "Come on, follow the commander to supervise the battle!" Zhu Yun finally decided to grill the fish and eat it. She removed the scales of the fish, removed the internal organs, cleaned it, and then lit a fire under the stove, set up fish skewers and carefully grilled it. The curtain was lifted to facilitate the smoke. , the sun slanted in from the tent opening, and shone on the fish skewers. As the heat baked, the fish gradually took on a golden color, and drops of fish oil dripped into the fire, burning sizzlingly. Zhu Yun couldn't help smiling when she saw it, and praised herself complacently: "I really have a talent for cooking with a spoon." At this moment, the war drums rumbled, and the people outside shouted and neighed, creating a hustle and bustle. Zhu Yun was astonished, and hurriedly raised the fish roe stand, away from the fire, then got up and walked out of the tent, only to see the officers and soldiers of each battalion being hurriedly mobilized, a group of hundreds of ordnance soldiers pushing huge siege equipment, shouting horns The son marched towards Guazhou City step by step; thousands of soldiers wearing the military uniforms of Xiazhou, Liangzhou, and Suzhou, led camels carrying whirlwind cannons, and pulled carts of stone cannons. Rush out of the camp.There is also a large bed crossbow carried by four people, there are more than two hundred pieces, and the clusters of arrows as thick as spears are slanting upwards, shining in the cold light in the sun.The archer carried a box of arrows and trotted forward... Judging from this scene, it was a powerful offensive that had never been used in the siege two days ago. Zhu Yun hurriedly stopped a school lieutenant who was passing by in a hurry, and asked: "The siege started so early today? The three armies don't need to use it." Meal?" The school lieutenant shouted loudly: "The commander-in-chief has ordered that each army attack the city in turn, not to give the defenders in the city a moment's respite. If they want to eat, each battalion has to take turns to come." "Drive! Drive! Give way, let's not stop this general from returning to camp!" Ai Yihai held the reins in one hand, opened his arms, and had a big knife in his waist. While shouting arrogantly, he led his guards, who were more than a hundred horse bandits, galloping past the horse with whips and whips. Behind the buttocks stirred up yellow sand in the sky. With a sound of "Huh~~", a mighty wind blows towards the face, carrying the dust and sand raised by the war horse, like a sandstorm blowing, Zhu Yun covered her eyes with her hands, and waited for the wind and sand to blow over her eyes before opening her eyes. Look, just now the school lieutenant has run away, Zhu Yunyao snorted and reprimanded softly: "This Ai Yihai, behaves like a gangster, why is he still acting like a horse bandit..." She shook her head disapprovingly, turned back and walked back to the tent. After a while, she heard an angry scream from the tent: "My fish! Damn Ai Yihai!" On the same morning, the ancient city of Dunhuang was also busy. The majestic Qilian Mountains lie in the south, the vast Lop Nur lies in the west, the rugged Beisai Mountains lie in the north, and the Sanwei Mountains stand in the east with steep peaks and rocks. In the middle is Dunhuang, Shazhou, the base camp of the Guiyi Army. There are nine major families in Dunhuang, Shazhou. They are local clans born on the specific land of Dunhuang. Among them, the family with the longest history can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. Since the Han Dynasty, they have been officials in Shazhou for a long time. , naturally formed a strong family power, like a camel thorn with well-developed roots, firmly controlling this desert oasis, monopolizing the political and economic lifeline of the Dunhuang area for a long time. The nine clans are Zhang, Suo, Cao, Yin, Li, Si, Yan, An, and Linghu. Early in the morning, all the "heads" of the major families in Dunhuang were invited by the Zhang family. The Zhang family was over eighty years old, and Zhang Chengxian, who had been out of the world for a long time, suddenly posted a post, inviting the heads of all the families to come to the mansion When we get together, who can not give this face?
