After Zhu Gaoxu and Qiu Fu defeated Li Jinglong's army of more than 100,000 with 4,000 cavalry, Zhu Di led a large group of men and horses to arrive and set up a ten-mile company camp outside Jinan.
In the first battle of Zhengba Village in Beiping and the first battle of Baigou River in Hebei, Li Jinglong had a total of 800,000 troops, and it is estimated that there will not be more than 300,000 people who can still fight in formations, and the commander fled, and the leading generals fought separately, so it can be said that Zhu Di's strategic purpose has been perfectly achieved.
He set up camp under the city of Jinan, gathered all the generals, and the only thing he discussed was whether to fight Jinan.
Everyone knows the difficulties of attacking Jinan, first, the Yan army did not fight many siege battles and lacked siege equipment; second, the strength of the army is still limited compared to the imperial court, and it is difficult to divide the troops to defend it; Third, although Li Jinglong fled, Ping Bao'er, Wu Jie and other generals were still there, and their headquarters did not suffer much losses in their troops and horses, and it was likely that they would form a counter-encirclement of the Yan army besieging Jinan, or cut off their rear route.
However, there are also some generals who believe that Li Jinglong was defeated first with an army of 500,000 and then with an army of 600,000, and His Royal Highness already has the qualifications to fight against the imperial court.
If there is not enough territory, there will not be enough money and food to recruit troops and horses, and the power will never be able to expand This opinion finally moved Zhu Di, and he decided to fight another battle after the two field victories and take Jinan City.
As a result, the Yan army outside the city of Jinan immediately mobilized and began to build siege equipment in full swing, preparing to attack the city of Jinan.
In Jinan City, Xia Xun searched for two days, but still didn't find the cool girl Xie Yufei, which made Xia Xun hesitate and worry.
He suspected that he might have looked away, and he was worried that it was indeed Peng Ziqi and Xie Yufei who were concerned about him, so they both rushed to him from Shuangyu Island.
In terms of him, the leader of Yanwang's secret spies, he was originally just one of his subordinates, and he played with the hundreds of thousands of troops under the command of Grandpa Cao Guo and even Duke Cao Guo, but now he is no different from an ordinary refugee, sleeping on the same street, eating the same roadside stalls, useless, Peng Ziqi and Xie Yufei, how should the two girls' families be.
Said on the three poles, the worried Xia Xun was exhausted in the city, and suddenly saw a steamed bun shop in front of him, this shop business is particularly prosperous, the crowd of people who buy steamed buns lined up in a long line, Xia Xun was shocked to realize that it was almost noon, faintly felt a little hungry in his belly, he touched the silver money hidden in his waist, and then walked over.
A big man who bought buns shouted angrily: "Damn, I said Mo shopkeeper, you are too dark, yesterday a bun was a penny, and today it has risen to two pennies, why don't you rob it?"
The owner of the steamed bun shop with two whiskers laughed hesitantly: "Xu Laosan, it's no wonder that I don't want to look at it, I have steamed out of this drawer of steamed buns, can I go to sell them in a hurry, there are many people who buy steamed buns, no way, you are from the city, you have a pot and a steamer at home, you want to eat and it's too expensive, then make it yourself." ” "Damn, the Yan army is besieging the city, but it has shaken up your steamed bun seller, I wanted to save trouble, forget it, Lao Tzu won't buy it, let's go home and steam it ourselves" The diner scolded and walked away.
Xia Xun was standing there, listening to these words in his ears, he was stunned for a moment, suddenly trembled, and immediately turned around and hurriedly walked away.
In the past two days, in order to find Xie Yufei, he didn't think much absent-mindedly, and when he heard the conversation between the two people, he suddenly remembered that King Yan was trapped in Jinan, and it seemed that he had been surrounded for several months, and in just a few days, the price of steamed buns doubled Xia Xun didn't have much money on him, and now that he had entered Jinan City by mistake, he had to plan for his own survival first, if the Yan army besieged Jinan for several months, and finally starved to death in the city with him, the supreme leader of the Yan army's secret spies, this result would be too funny Xia Xun hurried to a rice grain store.
Fortunately, at this time, no one has rushed to buy food, perhaps the ordinary people have not yet realized the seriousness of this problem, or they are very optimistic that it will not take a few days for the imperial army to relieve the siege of Jinan, so they are reluctant to take out all the money and buy the grain that has begun to rise in price.
Xia Xun poured everything he had, wanting to exchange it all for grain, but he didn't expect the owner of the rice grain shop to be reluctant to sell, looking at the siege of the Yan army and puzzled, the price of grain could continue to rise, Xia Xun only bought a bag of grain, carrying the grain to the street, but he began to worry about how to store these grains.
He has no place to live in the city, and he sleeps on the streets these days.
After thinking about it for a long time, Xia Xun suddenly remembered the Qiuzi Cave of Changchun Temple, which is said to have been Qiu Chuji's Xiuzhen Secret Cave, the last time he came to Jinan to suppress the White Lotus Sect bandits on a mission from the imperial court, Niu Buye and others had been hiding there, Xia Xun tricked and induced Wang Jingangnu to bring him here, which was the only place Xia Xun thought of where he could hide.
Xia Xun rushed to Changchun Temple with grain, only to see that the gate was closed, and there were two official seals on it.
Because the incense Taoist of Changchun Temple was also a member of the White Lotus Sect, he was arrested by the government at that time, and this Taoist temple was sealed.
Xia Xun didn't move the door, but went straight to the backyard, transported the grain over the wall, carefully hid it, and then went to the second grain and rice shop to continue to buy grain, of course, he didn't forget to buy a few jars of pickles.
When all this was over, Xia Xun sat down on the dusty steps in the backyard of Changchun Guan, thinking about his current behavior, he was like a gray mouse.
Things have developed to this point, it is really not something he can control, Xie Yufei is not in Jinan City, what is the situation now, he doesn't know; There was no news of him in the first two days, and King Yan might not be in a hurry, and it was possible to lose contact for a while in the chaos, but there was no news from him for so long, and King Yan must have thought that he had an accident, and I don't know if he would change his original deployment arrangements.
Originally, he was the director of Yan Wang's "MI6", calling for wind and rain, and his magical powers were vast, but now, he was just an ordinary refugee, all he could do was to use the advantage of a prophetic traverser to store some life-saving food for himself.
And all this because I saw her.
Thank you, you stinky girl, are you here In the Dong Mansion on Furong Street, there is a pole erected in front of the door, which is the sign of Jinshi and the first.
The master of the Dong family is a man.
At this moment, there was a group of people around the horse-tied stake not far from the door.
Dong Hanwen and Dong Gongzi came out of the house, and saw that there were many passers-by and refugees crowded not far from the door, so he frowned unhappily: "What's the matter, these fleeing people, why are they crowded to my door, drive them away?"
Dong Hanwen gave an order, and several evil slaves immediately rushed over and drove people away: "Go away, go away, what are you doing around our door, hurry up and get out, don't go Lao Tzu will hit people with sticks." ” "Slow, slow" As soon as the crowd was blasted away, I suddenly saw a girl kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, although the girl was kneeling on the ground and couldn't see clearly, but the slender waist and hips were exquisite, and the green silk black oil and shiny hair were already shining, Dong Gongzi hurriedly called the house slave and walked forward quickly.
There was a corpse lying on the ground, it was an old man, with a few rags wrapped around his waist and ribs, faintly bloodstained, and it was not known whether he died of illness or serious injuries, and the woman knelt in front of the old man, crying and crying.
When Dong Hanwen saw the dead man, he first frowned in disgust, and then said to the girl with a pleasant face: "Little lady, why are you crying here?"
The girl didn't raise her head, and when she saw someone asking, she lowered her head and sobbed: "The little girl from Texas, who fled to the city with her father, died of her father's injury and illness, and had no money to bury her, so she cried and grieved.
The kind uncle who passed by, who can pay for the funeral of her deceased father for the little woman, the little woman is willing to sell herself, as a slave as a maidservant, as a concubine as a servant, and obey the rules. ” "Oh, it's a filial girl, raise your head and ask my son to take a look."
The girl sobbed and slowly raised her head, Dong Hanwen gasped, her eyes widened, and the whole person seemed to be in a fixed position, unable to move anymore.
As the saying goes, if you are not fine, you are green; Pretty or not, filial piety.
If the daughter's family wears a white dress, she will look particularly handsome, and this girl's posture is even more beautiful, with curved eyebrows, handsome eyes, charming little mouth, and a vegetarian body, pear blossoms with rain "How much" Dong Hanwen was stunned, looked at it for a long time, and blurted out.
The girl seemed to be shy by him, lowered her head slightly, and said faintly: "The slave family sells itself, what do you need money to do, as long as the son takes out the funeral needs for the slave family, the slave family is the son's." ” When Dong Hanwen heard this, his bones were light, and he was almost blown to the sky by the light wind blowing along the street, he stared at the girl's half-cut pink neck that was slightly exposed because of her hanging head, only to feel that the neck was crystal clear, vaguely visible green, soft lines, so beautiful that I couldn't wait to make people take a bite, swallowed and saliva, forced to maintain a clear mind, hehe smiled: "Then, I have to say a price to come out."
The girl said: "The slave family also knows that the Yan army is besieging the city, and there is nowhere to bury people, and the government has regulations that the dead must be incinerated."
When my father died, he had to be cremated, but this coffin always had to be bought, and it could not be incinerated naked. ” "Make, make" Dong Hanwen couldn't wait to pay immediately, hugged this delicate and charming little lady in his arms, rubbed it into his body and kept it warm, now the war is endless, the Daming treasure banknote has depreciated, and now a hundred treasure banknotes, probably can only buy seventy-five things before the war, such a little money, buy such a beauty, you have to wake up with a smile in your dreams.
Look at this little lady's eyebrows and waist, thin neck and straight back, obviously she is still a virgin who guards herself like jade, and she has picked up a treasure Dong Hanwen immediately said: "Little lady, don't worry, you wait, you wait, my son will go back to the house to get the money immediately."
Hey, you dog minions, look at it, look at it, this is the person set by this son."
Dong Hanwen said, and rushed back to the house with his hands dancing, the girl still hung her head, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and no one saw a trace of a smile on her lips, although it was a smile, the smile was cute To be continued:
