Chapter 936 The Joy of Northern Xinjiang
Taizhou is located in the south of Daliao, with Neizhou in front, Chenzhou on the left, and Longhua Prefecture on the right.

Due to the long-term strategic advantage over Datang, Neizhou is in front of it, so the military and civilians in Taizhou feel a sense of security.

When the news of Northern Xinjiang sending troops to Neizhou came, Taizhou fell silent.

Those who can still maintain the excitement are the scholars.

In the brothel, in the restaurant, they condemned Yang Xuan impassionedly, and vowed that if they could join the army, they would cut off Yang Xuan's dog's head.

"...my generation shall die with a sword. I will live up to the king and the elders in Taizhou who raised us!"

A scholar's eyeballs were red and he was spitting.

"it is good!"

The applause shook the brothel, the prostitutes praised softly, and then raised their glasses to invite them to drink.

——The more they drink, the more commission they get.

"Noisy Nima!"

Someone downstairs shouted and cursed.

"Who's spouting shit?"

A scholar leaned over the window and looked out.

Several riders are galloping to the state.

"Get out of the way!"

Downstairs lobby, this is the place with the lowest consumption, more than ten men are sitting scattered.

Two big men sat side by side, watching the singing and dancing, toasting and drinking cheap wine.

On the table is just a plate of beans, still fried.

"Horse hooves." The man on the left said softly.

"Ok!"

Three riders galloped past the gate, arousing everyone's curiosity.

"This is for the prefecture!"

"It looks like there is an emergency military situation."

The two men sat for a while longer, and later, the news came.

"Neizhou is gone!"

A drunk-faced man entered the lobby and said excitedly, "Neizhou is lost."

"what?"

"Why did you lose it?"

The man laughed, and someone scolded: "Yeah, I invite you to drink, a pot!"

The man salivated at the man, and said, "Yang Xuan led the Northern Frontier Army and broke through Chengyang City a few days ago. Xiao Hongde committed suicide and Zhao Duola was captured."

boom!
The lobby immediately boiled.

"Neizhou is gone, won't I have to face Yang Gou in Taizhou?"

"By God, the old man wants to move!" An old man got up and left in a hurry.

The two men exchanged glances, and one of them said in a low voice: "The Duke broke Neizhou, and the situation is very good. Hurry up and find out the news."

Just as the two wanted to get up, they heard the floor shake, and then more than a dozen scholars came down in a hurry.

"Go home!"

"I'm going to Ningxing to prepare for the imperial examination next year, and I'll leave tomorrow, everyone, let's say goodbye!"

"I also need to go!"

"Then how about...going together?"

"it is good!"

The two spies of Jin Yiwei looked at these scholars in astonishment.

Wasn't it all impassioned before, why is it so bearish now?
Someone sneered: "Who said before that he would go to the battlefield and behead Yang Gou?"

"Bitch!"

The red-eyed scholar sneered, "What's the point of being brave alone? If I can pass the imperial examination, I will be the enemy of ten thousand people!"

"Ha ha!"

The crowd laughed.

"They can leave, but we can't." Someone scolded: "This shitty world."

At this time, if you want to leave Taizhou, it doesn't matter if you really can't get out.

The secret spies of the two Jinyiwei were ecstatic.

"These people panicked when they heard that the Duke of Guo broke Taizhou. Send the news."

This is important news, and it can be remembered as a meritorious service within Jin Yiwei.

Several riders galloped past the gate again.

"What is this?"

People are curious.

The two Jin Yiwei paid the bill, and they didn't forget to finish the wine and pack the remaining beans.

As the two went out, they knocked on the beans.

"They went to the state."

"Yes, I guess there is a military situation."

"Let's go to the city gate to have a look."

"it is good!"

Those who rode to the state, please see the governor Ma Chong.

Ma Chong was furious.

"Xiao Hongde is incompetent! So much so that he lost Neizhou, he immediately went to Ningxing to report and asked for reinforcements, otherwise Taizhou would be hard to protect!"

"My lord, there is news."

His subordinates interrupted Ma Chong's hysteria, he touched the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, "Let them come."

A sergeant came in, "My lord, there are tens of thousands of cavalry outside the city, and the leader is Lin Jun, the governor of Tanzhou."

"Oh!"

Ma Chong was stunned, and said with a sneer, "Lin Jun and Xiao Hongde are both Lin Ya's people, it must be a step too late to rescue them! They are galloping all the way, probably short of food and grass, and they are here to ask for help."

An official said with a smile: "This person is like a bereaved dog. If he is turned away, he will inevitably be criticized..."

"The old man is not afraid of any criticism, but he is worried that he will send troops to loot the village!" Ma Chong patted his forehead, "He came just in time, let's ask about the battle situation."

"My lord, let's go and meet him!" said the official.

Ma Chong shook his head, "There is no lack of etiquette. The old man will go in person and not give him an excuse."

Later, Ma Chong took the civil and military officials outside the city.

More than ten thousand cavalry lined up in awe.

In front is Lin Jun.

"Meet Mr. Lin!"

Ma Chong cupped his hands.

"I've seen Mr. Mashi."

Lin Jun cupped his hands and took a step forward.

Ma Chong asked knowingly, pointing to the cavalry, "Mr. Lin, this is..."

The cavalrymen were silent, but there was a sense of depression in their eyes.

This is, the long journey has failed!

Lin Jun said with a cold face, "Beijiang attacked Neizhou, and I led the reinforcements. Who knew that Neizhou had already fallen when we arrived. In order to hurry, I didn't have much food and grass with me, so I came to your place to borrow some food and grass. Make it easy."

"Is it lost?"

Ma Chong looked stunned, as if all the scouts who had reported to him earlier had died.

"Yes, Chengyang fell, and I was one step late." Lin Jun looked annoyed.

"Hey!"

Ma Chong looked anxious, "Please."

"Please."

Naturally, it is impossible for all the more than [-] cavalry to enter the city, and most of them camped outside the city.

When the two arrived at the state, Ma Chong asked Lin Jun to go to the lobby to talk about the current situation.

"After Yang Xuan led the army to break through Chengyang, he was preparing his troops. Our scouts bypassed Chengyang and saw a continuous train of trains coming from northern Xinjiang. There are still many troops."

Ma Chong's face suddenly changed, "This is, you want to hit me in Taizhou?"

"Maybe it's Chenzhou." Lin Jun said calmly.

"When Neizhou is lost, I, Taizhou, will bear the brunt of it. Hitting Chenzhou is a detour. My Taizhou strikes from the side and back, which can make him feel heartbroken." Ma Chong said dissatisfied: "Does Mr. Lin think that this old man doesn't know how to fight? "

Lin Jun shook his head, "I just need food and grass, and I will pay with money later."

"Food and grass are easy to talk about, but the old man has some requests, Mr. Lin has a look..."

"Say."

"Your subordinates came here from Tanzhou. I think it's a journey of wind and rain, how hard it is? You can rest in my Taizhou for a while, don't refuse!"

Ma Chong stood up, "If you refuse, you will not give me face!"

Lin Jun said with a cold face, "I still have to beware of Chenzhou attacking Tanzhou."

"Who doesn't know that Prime Minister Lin has sent elite soldiers and generals to envoy Lin? If Chen Zhou dares to send troops, he will definitely meet in Tanzhou and die, that's it!"

Ma Chong said: "Give Lin Shijun three days of food and grass."

In three days, you won't be able to reach Tanzhou!
Lin Jun's face was livid, "What a mashijun!"

Ma Chong said with a smile: "If Taizhou is breached, Tanzhou will be even more lonely, isn't it good?"

Lin Jun flicked his sleeves, "If that's the case, I don't want it anymore."

Ma Chong was anxious, so he went to pull Lin Jun.

Lin Jun strode forward, he pulled his body, and fell forward inexplicably.

Bah!
Ma Chong, fainted.

"Your Majesty!"

No one saw that the man behind Lin Jun withdrew his right hand.

The doctor will come soon.

After some diagnosis and treatment, Ma Chong could not be revived.

The officials and generals panicked.

"Lin Shijun, you must not leave!"

"If Shijun Lin leaves, and Yang Gou's army strikes, Taizhou will be in danger!"

"For the sake of the overall situation, please let Shijun Lin stay!"

After asking three times and four times, Lin Jun reluctantly agreed.

Immediately, the army entered the city, faintly controlling the whole city.

Immediately, Lin Jun's army ordered out of the city, and thousands of cavalry were dispatched to various places. In the name of strengthening defense, they took control of the entire Taizhou.

After everything was done, Lin Jun walked out of the state house.

"Mr. Lin, many people in the city are handling directions." An official came to ask for instructions.

"Where are you going?" Lin Jun asked.

"Going to the north, Ningxing has the most people."

"Stop it, no one is allowed to leave!"

"Yes!"

Standing on the street, Lin Jun suddenly smiled, "Who would have thought that Ma Chong would fall like this, by the way, will he wake up?"

"Two days." said the man behind him.

Lin Jun nodded.

"Let him sleep forever!"

……

Peach County.

Widow Luo packed up her things.

"Duke conquered Jinshan City?"

She has been back for a few days, and maids still come to ask her this question every day.

"Yes."

Wu Luo sat by the bed, looking at everything in the room, feeling a little strange.

This time, I will never come back again.

She was suddenly a little dazed.

What are you doing at home?

Marriage is impossible to marry.

Go home and live in seclusion!
In this way, I will spend the rest of my life with Ye Niang.

Send away the person who gave birth to you, and the rest of your life is free.

Hey!
It seems very comfortable!

Footsteps came and went to Zhou Ning.

"Miss!"

Zhou Ning's belly is not small, and the voice of the maid who told her has lowered a lot.

"What's the matter?"

Zhou Ning was looking at the account book. On the mat beside him, A Liang was lying with the swordsman and Fugui, all asleep.

Hearing the sound, the swordsman wagged his tail, Fugui lazily opened his eyes, and closed them again when he saw that he was an acquaintance.

The maid said: "Your Majesty is back."

She saw that Zhou Ning's eyes suddenly burst into splendor, as if... the feeling of suddenly getting something she loved.

"A Liang!"

Zhou Ning patted his son gently.

A Liang slowly opened his eyes, his dark pupils remained motionless, for a while, "Mother."

"Get up, Ni Aye is back."

The backyard is already boiling.

"Say it's a great victory!"

"My lord goes out to fight, how can I lose?"

Aunt Guan shouted: "Be more polite, be careful when you go out."

She turned her head, and at some point, Yiniang appeared under the eaves, with a rare smile.

"Yiniang, Mr. Lang is back." For some reason, Aunt Guan had an idea in her heart.

"Yeah! I'm back!"

Yiniang's eyes became softer.

But in Jiedushi's mansion, Liu Qinggang met the envoy.

"Neizhou is destroyed?"

Liu Qing reached out and twirled his beard, even though he knew that Yang Xuan's purpose of this expedition was to capture Neizhou, he still couldn't believe it.

"Yes."

After being confirmed, Liu Qing froze for a moment, then slowly looked at Song Zhen.

"The old man thought we would have to wait for a while. It looks like it's getting cloudy this day, maybe it will snow. Once it snows, it will be difficult to transport food and grass, so we have to retreat. When attacking and attacking, we should retreat this year and come back next year." It is difficult to attack."

Song Zhen clapped the case, "I didn't expect it to be so fast, it really is Zitai, it really is Qin Guogong, hahahaha!"

The former Titan of the Tang Dynasty laughed wantonly and was extremely happy.

"Go, go and meet."

Liu Qing was overjoyed, and immediately led the officials out of the city to meet him.

After leaving the Jiedu Mission's Mansion, the people on the street couldn't help being surprised when they saw Liu Qing and others.

"What's going on here?"

It's not a big deal, it's impossible to dispatch so many officials.

"Look at... Liu Sima's cheeks are full of joy, like a groom."

"Song Gong is also quite happy to see it, it must be a happy event!"

The people were curious and followed behind without incident. Not long after, a huge tail was dragged behind Liu Qing.

"Could it be that the Duke is back?"

an old man asked.

"Maybe!"

"But that's Neizhou! How can it be so fast!"

"Yes! Neizhou is the scourge of my northern border. In those years, the Northern Liao army stationed troops in Neizhou and frequently harassed northern Xinjiang. How many farmers were killed and how many travelers were killed, it still makes me grit my teeth when I think about it."

"At the time when an official took office, he said before leaving that Northern Liao's troubles lay in Beiliao, and that Beiliao's biggest threat to Northern Xinjiang was Neizhou. If Neizhou cannot be captured, Beijiang will always face the iron heels of Beiliao, and there will be no peace forever. .”

"No, you have to be careful when you go out of the city these years. Even if the Duke won Nangui City, every time I go out to farm, I am always worried that the Neizhou Northern Liao Army will raid. When planting a field, I have to look up to the north from time to time. , ready to run at any time. These days are really difficult!"

"You are so good at farming, and our businessmen are not much better."

"You can at least escape on horseback. Let's rely on a pair of legs. Where are we going?"

"Run? People ran away, but all the goods were lost. This bankrupt, life is worse than death!"

When everyone turned around, they saw a middle-aged man in a shabby gray robe smiling wryly. He was holding a girl by the hand. The girl looked a little thin, and suddenly sniffed her nose. is hungry.

But the girl is sensible and doesn't say anything.

The man glanced at the Hoto stall, counted the money on him, and sighed.

The farmer coughed dryly, "The bankrupt you mentioned, can't it be me?"

The man nodded and picked up the baby girl.

"hungry?"

"Not hungry!" The girl shook her head bluntly, but asked, "Aye, can you still do business?"

"No." The middle-aged man smiled wryly, "If we are robbed again, our family will be heavily in debt. Aye is afraid, and would rather work as a coolie to support you than go into business again."

"When I grow up, I will support Aye."

Tears flickered in the eyes of the middle-aged man, he choked up and nodded, "Okay."

When everyone left the city, someone said, "It seems to be snowing."

The middle-aged man looked up, and saw some snowflakes falling from the sky.

This year, I'm afraid it won't work.

Da da da!
Amidst the sound of horseshoes, more than a hundred riders came galloping.

Rein in your horse.

"Where is the Duke?"

Liu Qing asked.

The cavalryman said, "The Duke will arrive later."

Immediately someone began to maintain order.

Soon, the brigade of cavalry came.

When everyone saw the big flag, they couldn't help cheering.

"It's good to be back!"

The old farmer's words got everyone's approval.

Yang Xuan stepped forward, dismounted and walked over.

Liu Qing said loudly: "Congratulations to the Duke."

People salute.

Yang Xuan smiled and supported Liu Qing, "I'm going on an expedition abroad, and the northern border depends on you waiting, it's hard work."

Liu Qing asked loudly: "Dare to ask the Duke, how is this trip?"

Knowing what he meant, Yang Xuan also raised his voice.

"Neizhou belongs to Northern Xinjiang!"

Everyone was startled.

The old farmer jumped up suddenly, "Long live!"

A person always feels that there is a long sword hanging on his head, and suddenly the long sword is kicked away by someone. The feeling of relief drives the people crazy.

"Wan Sheng!"

"The Duke is mighty!"

The middle-aged man hugged his daughter and stood there blankly.

The girl didn't know why everyone was happy, but she found her father was crying.She stretched out her little hand to wipe away the tears on her father's face, "Aye, don't cry!"

"Okay, don't cry!"

The man put her down, gave Yang Xuan a deep bow, then picked her up again, and hurried into the city.

When he arrived at the Hoto stall, the man put down his daughter, "A bowl of Hoto."

The stall owner glanced at him.

The man took out a copper coin and carefully placed it on the table.

The stall owner was so sophisticated that he could tell at a glance that he was a poor man.How can the poor be willing to buy food outside!
"Aye, I'm not hungry!"

The girl is very sensible.

"I'm hungry."

"But...but the family is poor! No money!"

"Aye's going to make money."

"Aren't you afraid of being robbed?"

"I will not do it again."

"Ah! Then I want to eat Hoto."

"good to eat!"

When the Hoto was ready, the girl brought it over, and the girl looked up at her father, "Aye, you eat."

"it is good."

The man took a bite and passed it to his daughter, "Aye is full."

Da da da!
Yang Guogong has entered the city.

He waved all the way, responding to the cheers of the people on both sides.

Suddenly, a man stood up from a side stall and turned around abruptly.

The guards focused their attention on him.

The little girl followed suit and looked back at the man.

The man kneels.

Seriously kowtow.

a bit!
twice...

……

Ask for a ticket!
