Chapter 132: The Red Lady
At the foot of Yuchun Mountain, the sound of fighting like a wave gradually subsided.
Zhu Yijin excitedly ran into the woods where the refugees were resting, and reported to Qin Muhe: "My lord, the rebels have retreated, and only 5,000 men and horses are left to stay five miles away, presumably to prevent us from killing under Yuanzhou City again." ”
The people who escaped from Yuanzhou listened, and couldn't help but let out a burst of cheers for the rest of their lives, tens of thousands of rebels pursued all the way, Qin Mu's men and horses and the young men of the Huanglianshan organization, taking advantage of the terrain, desperately blocked for an afternoon, and now the enemy has finally retreated, and people can finally put down their suspense temporarily.
"Thanks to Lord Qin!"
"Thank you, Lord Qin, for saving your life."
"Lord Qin"
The people around thanked them one after another, and they were sincere, this time they were able to escape with their lives, thanks to Qin Mu leading the army to fight desperately, otherwise it would be difficult for these 20,000 old and weak women and children to escape from the battlefield of blood and fire, and countless rebels would drown them like a flood.
"Fellow villagers, rest assured, the enemy can't be defeated for the time being, you should hurry up and rest, and you will retreat to Wanzai tomorrow morning."
Qin Mu appeased the people, looked at the afterglow of the sunset in Xishan, sat on the stone that had not receded, squinted his eyes and asked Zhu Yijin: "How is the battle situation under Yuanzhou City?" ”
"Back to my lord, Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses once rushed into the west gate, and were driven out again, and now nearly 200,000 troops are surrounding Yuanzhou City, and they are rushing to make siege equipment, and it is estimated that they will launch a fierce attack on Yuanzhou tomorrow."
"What about the city?"
Zhu Yijin replied with some embarrassment: "My lord, the rebels have surrounded Yuanzhou City, and what the situation in the city is can't be spread at all. ”
"Forget it, prepare a pot of hot water for me, I want to take a good shower and sober up."
"Yes, sir."
Qin Mu sat under the tree and rubbed his face, and he could rub a "strong pill" with his hand. After this day's fighting, he is now like a big flower face in Peking Opera.
Next to the woods was a small stream, and on the other side of the stream, sixty or seventy men were scattered in the grass by the stream, and dozens of war horses were grazing with their heads bowed.
A red shadow jumped over the pebbles in the stream, walked briskly towards Qin Mu, and said from afar, "Now you don't have to use the lack of time as an excuse, right?" ”
Qin Mu felt as if he was being targeted by a tiger, his hairs suddenly stood up, and his right hand unconsciously clenched the Juque Sword, but there was one fact that he knew very well. Not to mention the Juque Sword, even if he is given a Heavenly Sword, he can't beat others, and even Li Shi can't, which is fully confirmed by the facts.
"Did you say it, if you weren't blind, you should have seen that there are more than 20,000 mouths waiting to ask the official what he wants to eat, and where did the official get the surplus food for you."
"You're still not a man?" The red lady carried a whip. With an annoyed face, he pressed up to Qin Mu, and Li Shi Huo Ran next to him drew his knife and was about to bite the bullet, Qin Mu waved his hand at him, don't be ashamed. I couldn't finish the trick under someone else's hand just now.
The red lady looked angry, approached Qin Mu, and looked down at Qin Mu sitting on the stone condescendingly, her legs were slender. Heroic and sassy, Qin Mu raised her head, and her vision was almost completely blocked by the towering twin peaks on her chest. Qin Mu secretly swallowed his saliva, and a poem involuntarily appeared in his mind: Looking at the side of the ridge as a front, far and near, it is really close, Qin Mu can even smell a faint smell of fragrant sweat.
The red lady suddenly realized that she was too close, and hurriedly took a step back, her face was slightly red, but fortunately, she was dressed in red, and her face looked red all the time.
"Do you give or don't give?"
"Strange, are you deaf, didn't the official tell you? No. ”
"Why are you like this, are you still a man when you are so stingy?" The red lady was extremely angry, and the whip shook and closed, and it seemed that she had endured it very hard, so she couldn't help but not give him a whip.
"This official is not a man? You say this official is not a man? Qin Mu was furious and stood up suddenly, as if a torch was burning on his head. Don't look at you with a leather whip, even if you add a candle, Lao Tzu is not afraid of you, you are really a queen?
The red lady sneered: "What, do you want to fight again?" Let's find a few more helpers, I think you just can't afford to lose, you can provide 20,000 people with rations, and you still need dozens of us? We helped you stop the enemy, and thirty-two brothers died before and after, and now you don't even give you a stutter, didn't you just whip you? I didn't really try it."
"Shut up!" Qin Mu's old face couldn't hold back, and the sword was withdrawn and withdrawn, looking like he was going berserk.
Poof, just like azaleas blooming all over the branches, the red lady smiled, and then said with a whole look: "Don't worry, my red lady has clear grievances, you helped us once under Yuanzhou City, helping you stop the enemy is our love for you, we don't owe each other"
"Since you don't owe each other, why are you still coming to me?" Qin Mu went straight in with a single knife and cut off her words.
"You" The red lady really can't wait to whip him again, the two sides have fought side by side, and the enemy retreated, so she turned her face and didn't recognize people, and she didn't even give a bite to eat, can she not be angry.
In this barren mountains and mountains, coupled with so many refugees pouring in, even the rabbits were so frightened that they ran away, where did dozens of people go to find food for a while?
But people are iron, rice is steel, her men and horses fought hard for a day, tired and hungry, the red lady had to come to Qin Mu twice, of course, she didn't seem to realize that her way of asking people was very special:
The first time I came, I didn't agree with a word, and I actually moved my hand to Qin Mu, Li Shi was caught in the whip and his feet were overturned to the ground as soon as he rushed up, and Qin Mu was whipped on his back, although as she said, it didn't use much strength, but there was always no light on this face, right? This second time, she still looks like a queen
Qin Mu glanced at her, turned around and was about to go back to the camp to take a bath, the red shadow flashed, as fast as a ghost blocking in front of him, the majestic twin peaks trembled gently, drumming, and almost burst out
"Don't go first, I'm the first to be wrong, I shouldn't have pumped you." The red lady looked directly at Qin Mu with a pair of apricot eyes, and when she said that she shouldn't have smoked you, it felt like saying that I still smoked you.
Qin Mu couldn't help but stroke his forehead, feeling a little pain in his head, this woman is okay, let's be a big man, and we have to worry about a woman, so we don't have to teach people to look down on us.
"Li Shi, give her something to eat." Qin Mu seemed to be calling Huazi, turned around from the red lady after speaking, and left without looking back.
The red lady looked at his back and snorted dissatisfiedly.
Qin Mu took a hot bath, the whole person felt much more comfortable, and as soon as he picked up the rice bowl, he saw Huo Sheng and Liu Meng both coming in.
While picking up rice, Qin Mu asked repeatedly, "What?" What's wrong again? ”
"My lord, you eat, wait until you finish eating."
"Don't be verbose, let it go if you have a fart."
"My lord, I just received news that Zhang Xianzhong sent Hu Yansan to lead 20,000 horses in the direction of Liujia Village, presumably to attack Ji'an Mansion."
Qin Mu hurriedly swallowed the rice in his mouth, put down the bowl and said, "Is the news accurate?" Yuan Zhou has not yet been taken, Zhang Xianzhong is so anxious to divide his troops to attack Ji'an Mansion? ”
"My lord, I suspect that Zhang Xianzhong lacks food and grass, so he is so anxious to divide his troops to attack Ji'an Mansion, there are not many defenders in Ji'an Mansion, the news that Yuanzhou was besieged spread, the defenders of Ji'an Mansion must be shocked, once Ji'an Mansion is breached, Zhang Xianzhong will be able to get enough food and grass supplies, and even if he does not fight, it will cost tens of thousands of left troops in Yuanzhou City."
"Well, it's possible." Qin Mu groaned, Wu Xueli suffered heavy losses this time, it is estimated that less than 50,000 of the 80,000 horses remained, and there is not much grain and grass in Yuanzhou City, after Zhang Xianzhong got the supplies himself, he didn't need to spend a lot of effort to attack the city, as long as he prevented Wu Xueli from breaking through, he could starve Wu Xueli to death in less than ten days.
Now looking at the whole of Jiangxi, there are no reinforcements to reinforce Yuanzhou, although Wu Xueli is hateful, but from the perspective of the overall situation, Qin Mu can't watch him perish.
Liu Meng continued: "My lord, Ji'an is the barrier of Ganzhou, once Ji'an falls, the northern gateway of Ganzhou will be opened, and now Ganzhou doesn't know what happened, Xiangliancheng's little people, if you can't resist it, won't Ganzhou also fall?" ”
"Have you found out the situation of the 5,000 rebels on the other side?" Qin Mu replied unexpectedly.
"Back to my lord, we caught two rebel spies, and roughly figured it out, after the rebels retreated with tens of thousands of horses, the main reason for leaving these 5,000 people was to prevent us from breaking into Yuanzhou City to cause chaos again, and the leader of the troops was called Li Zhaoguang, who defected to Zhang Xianzhong in Wuchang, and it was he who opened the gate of Wuchang and let Zhang Xianzhong's army enter the city."
"I'm asking how is his camp?"
"Do you want to touch the camp tonight?"
