Chapter 250: Restless
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
The team walked out of twenty miles, and Liu Xuan ordered to rest. He took the time to visit Liu Xiu, and saw that his second sister Liu Yuan and brother-in-law Deng Chen's family were also there, Liu Xiu was holding his little niece and having fun, and his spirit was not bad, Liu Xiu was finally relieved.
He first inquired about Liu Xiu's body, and then warned him to pay more attention to rest. After that, he asked Liu Yuan and Deng Chen about the situation there, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong, and Liu Xuan hurriedly went elsewhere.
He is the commander of the whole army, and there are so many things to deal with that it is naturally impossible to spend all his time with his family.
Deng Chen cooked a small pot of chicken soup, handed it to Liu Xiu, and said, "Ah Xiu, the chicken soup has ginseng slices added to it, you drink more!" ”
Liu Xiu first thanked Deng Chen, and then beckoned everyone to come over and drink together.
Because it's a march to fight, it's impossible for the guys to bring too complete, anyway, they are all a family, and they don't dislike each other, a few people sit around the small pot, each holding a spoon, and you drink chicken soup one bite at a time.
Liu Yuan and Deng Chen didn't take a few sips, Liu Xiu, Liu Boji and a few little dolls all drank a lot. After drinking all the chicken soup in one pot, Deng Chen picked up the empty pot and brushed it. Liu Yuan stood up and raised his eyes to the back.
They had been resting for half an hour, but there were still soldiers and families rushing to the resting place behind them. After looking at it for a while, Liu Yuan sat down again and said, "Ah Xiu, when can we get to Wancheng?" ”
Liu Xiu secretly smiled bitterly, in fact, Jianyang was already very close to Wancheng, at best, it was less than a hundred and fifty miles away, but the speed of their own march was too slow, and they had only walked twenty miles after marching in the morning.
He said: "At the current rate, it is estimated that it will take four or five days to reach Wancheng. ”
As the so-called soldiers are fast, I don't know how many things will happen in the past four or five days.
Liu Yuan sighed lightly and said, "It will take four or five more days?" I thought I'd be able to get to the south tonight! ”
Nan Juju is located between Wancheng and Jianyang, less than 100 miles away from both places.
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "It's good to be able to get together in the south tomorrow!" ”
Speaking of gathering in the south, Liu Xiu suddenly had an idea. At this moment, Deng Chen came back from brushing the pot, still carrying a pheasant in his hand. Seeing this, Liu Yuan smiled and asked, "Husband, where did the pheasant come from?" ”
Deng Chenle said happily: "It was hunted by Ziwei nearby!" We happened to meet just now, and Ziwei asked me to bring the pheasant over and roast it for Ah Xiu to eat! ”
Fu Jun is a well-known marksman, and hunting a pheasant is easy for him.
It happened that the bonfire was still there, Deng Chen added some firewood, shaved the pheasant, bled it, took out the internal organs, put it on a wooden stick, and put it on the bonfire to roast it slowly.
Liu Xiu said to Xuying beside him: "Xuying, you go and find my eldest brother, my eldest brother has been busy all morning, and it is estimated that he hasn't eaten yet!" ”
Xuying agreed, got up and left. It didn't take long, and Xuying really brought Liu Xuan over. Liu Xuan glanced at the roast chicken on the bonfire, swallowed his saliva, and asked, "Ah Xiu, are you looking for me?" ”
"Big brother, Ziwei just hunted a pheasant, so I'm looking for you to come over and eat something!" Liu Xiu said with a smile.
Liu Jiu didn't say that he didn't eat lunch, and he didn't even bother to eat breakfast. Now I smell the aroma of roast chicken, and the five internal organs are beating drums.
He grinned, sat down cross-legged by the campfire, and said, "It's good! Then the big brother is not welcome. As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his bosom and opened it, containing two pieces of bread.
Liu Xiu asked, "Big brother, can you get together in the south tomorrow?" ”
Liu Xuan thought for a while and said, "Almost! Even if it doesn't arrive tomorrow, it will arrive at noon the day after tomorrow at the latest. After a pause, he asked, "Ah Xiu, why did you suddenly mention Nan and get together?" ”
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Big brother, what I think is that after gathering in the south, can we temporarily settle the family members and dependents of the army in the south." ”
Seeing that the eldest brother was frowning and looking at him, Liu Xiu said: "With so many family members and dependents, the marching speed of our army is too slow, and it is too inconvenient to fight!" Liu Xuan said inexplicably: "Haven't we been fighting all the way like this all along?" Bringing family members will affect the speed, but the soldiers have no worries, and because there are family members in the rear, the soldiers are on the battlefield
There is no way to retreat, so you can only fight bravely to kill the enemy. ”
"But ......" Fighting Wancheng is different from fighting other places.
Fighting other cities, only the county soldiers are fighting, their own combat strength is not strong, but the county soldiers are even more rabble, but when they fight Wancheng, they are fighting against the county army, which is a real elite division, how can the two be compared?
Liu Xiu could feel Liu Xiu's nervousness, he laughed, patted Liu Xiu's shoulder, and said with relief: "Ah Xiu, just relax!" There are only a few thousand county troops, and the eldest brother hasn't taken it seriously! ”
As he spoke, he raised his head to look at Deng Chen and asked, "Wei Qing, this pheasant is almost roasted, right?" ”
Deng Chen smiled: "Big brother, you can eat it." ”
Liu Xiu started directly, tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into Liu Xiu's hand, and then he tore off a piece of chicken, rolled it with a cake, and ate it in a big gulp.
After resting for nearly an hour at noon, the army set out on its way and continued on its way.
To cut a long story short, the next day, the march was a little faster, and before it was dark, they finally arrived in the south.
Nanjuju is not a city, but it is one of the most fertile areas in Nanyang, and it is also an important grain production area in Nanyang. The county government has a fortress here in Nanjuju, and hundreds of county troops are stationed, but when the army of the Zhutiandu Department arrives in Nanjuju, the fortress is already empty, and there is not a single garrison left, and even the hoarded food is not taken care of
left, all thrown in the fortress, and now naturally they have all become the spoils of the Pillar Heavenly Capital.
When Liu Xuan and others entered the fortress to inspect, they found that there were really a lot of materials hoarded inside, in addition to food, there were weapons, armor, bows and crossbows, etc., and when the county army fled the fortress, these materials did not have time to take away. Liu Ji, who was following Liu Xuan, grinned and said, "Big brother, this county army has no other skills, and the ability to escape is a top trick." When we fought with the county soldiers, the county soldiers at least dared to fight with us, and the county soldiers were better and ran better than their mothers
The rabbits are fast! ”
When everyone around heard this, they all laughed. Liu Xuan also looked proud, and ordered slowly: "Tonight, let the family and dependents live in the fortress, and the soldiers of our army will be stationed around the fortress!" ”
"Yes! General! The surrounding generals stepped in to receive the order.
Because Liu Xiu was injured, now his identity has become a family member, and he lives in the fortress with his second sister and younger sister.
There was nothing to say that night, and early the next morning, the Zhutian Capital Department set off, left the south and gathered, and continued to march north.
From the south to Wancheng, it will be closer. According to Liu Xuan's plan, he can arrive at Xiaochang'an tonight, and he can arrive in Wancheng tomorrow.
Xiao Chang'an is near Wancheng, is a land and water wharf, shipping is prosperous, business is prosperous, the name of Xiao Chang'an is also derived from this.
After the small Chang'an gathering, and then go north for more than ten miles, it is Wancheng.
Zhutiandubu's journey in the morning was quite smooth, but in the afternoon, when he was about to get close to Xiao Chang'an, it suddenly rained heavily, and the roadside became muddy. In this case, the Zhutian Capital Department could not continue to rush at all. If it is just a simple army marching, then it is good to say, even if the road is muddy, it can move forward in the rain, the key is that the Zhutiandu Department carries a large number of family members, and the family members carry a large number of baggage and belongings, large and small in the team
There were a lot of cars, some pulled by horses, some pulled by oxen, and some pulled by people, and the cars got stuck in the quagmire and couldn't pull them out.
Seeing that he really couldn't leave, Liu Xuan decisively ordered the whole army to rest and avoid the torrential rain for the time being.
This heavy rain lasted for more than half an hour, and after the heavy rain passed, the Zhutian Capital Department set off again.
The heavy rain stopped, but the mud on the road could not disappear for a short time, and the speed of the procession was extremely slow.
Liu Xiu sat in the carriage, and her body kept shaking with the carriage.
Distraught, he lifted the curtain and looked outside, the sky was gloomy, and looking into the distance, it was hazy. He slowly frowned, looked out of the car, and remained motionless for a long time.
Liu Boji leaned over curiously, looked outside, didn't see anything unusual, she asked, "Third brother, what's wrong?" ”
"Looks like it's going to fog!" Liu Xiu muttered, he moved to the window, poked his head out, and said, "Xuying! ”
"General!" Xuying, who was sitting next to the carriage, came over.
Liu Xiu asked, "Can Zizhang and the second situation be nearby?" ”
Xu Ying raised his eyes and looked around, shook his head and said, "Captain Ma and Captain Cho should be in front. General, shall I go and find the two of them? Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "No need. "He has already explained everything that should be explained, even if he finds Ma Wu and Choshi now, he has nothing to say, but at this time, his heart is up and down, and he always feels that he has to do it
Good things happen.
He said faintly: "First heavy rain, then heavy fog, today's journey is too unsmooth." ”
Xuying smiled: "General, the general has already said that we can successfully arrive at Xiaochang'an tonight." ”
As long as you arrive at Xiaochang'an, Wancheng will be close at hand. An army of 20,000 attacked a county army of about 5,000 people, no matter how you look at it, your own side has the advantage.
The corners of Liu Xiu's mouth hooked, and she didn't speak again.
The fog was only hazy at first, but as time went by, the fog became bigger and bigger, and as far as the eye could see, the place three meters away was basically white, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Liu Xiu couldn't sit still in the carriage, he stood up and walked out of the carriage. Seeing this, Liu Boji and Xu Xiling asked at the same time: "Where is the third brother (lord)?" ”
He sighed and said, "You guys are sitting in the car, I feel a little stuffy, go outside and have a look!" ”
Seeing Liu Xiu come out of the carriage, Xuying, Xufei, and Xuting immediately urged their horses forward, and asked suspiciously, "General?" ”
"Give me a horse, and I'll go ahead and see!"
"But General, your body ......"
"It's all right, lend me the horse."
Xufei turned over and dismounted, and handed the reins of the war horse to Liu Xiu. The latter took it, and it was with the help of Void Fei that he rode on horseback. He urged the horse forward, Xu Ying and Xu Ting glanced at each other, leaving Xu Fei, and the two of them rode to follow Liu Xiu and walked forward together.
