I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 726 Defection

The army of the Northern Expedition bypassed Huizhou, and the target was Xinzhou, where the Jiang family was located.

Zhang Min did not leave the capital. He did not plan to lead the army in this battle, but sent reliable generals, and the Jiang family assisted them.

The Jiang family gave birth to a queen. After the queen gave birth to a son-in-law, the Jiang family was completely tied to Zhang Min's boat. The Jiang family had no way out and could only do their best to prepare for the battle.

The wind of summer welcomes the arrival of autumn. It is obviously the harvest season, but no people appear in the fields.

The Northern Expeditionary Army would not give Zhang's soldiers and horses a chance to plunder food. After taking Xinzhou in this battle, they accelerated their advance and tried their best to keep the people's food for a year.

They are afraid of comparing everything. The Northern Expedition Army has strict discipline. They never disturb the people when they pass by the village. They will exchange vegetables with the local people. The people even got the posters of the Northern Expedition Army. Compared with the Jiang family soldiers who are like bandits, the Northern Expedition Army has won the hearts of the people. , Yang Xixuan's Northern Expedition has taken another big step forward.

That night, while resting at night, Ziheng roasted a rabbit in front of him. The rabbit was bought from a child.

Ziheng sniffed, "It smells so good."

Ming Jiao cut a piece with a knife and tore off the rabbit leg after confirming that it was cooked. "Taste my craftsmanship."

Ziheng thanked him for taking the rabbit leg, and gave him a thumbs up after tasting it carefully, "It not only smells good, but also tastes very good."

Ming Jiao divided the rabbits in front of him, "I have practiced this skill for a while. When I was young, it was difficult to eat meat in the barracks, so I had to figure out a way by myself. I often led people to dig rabbit holes."

The foolish king is in power and deducts food and salaries harshly, let alone the days of troubled times, especially during the two years of drought, he was so hungry that he couldn't sleep every night.

Ziheng said, "Based on this calculation, I really have never suffered."

When he fled the capital at a young age, he was protected by his parents. Except for being frightened, he never went hungry. After he settled down, his parents never let him suffer.

Ming Jiao said enviously, "The two gentlemen are capable. After all, the people of Ruizhou seem to have never experienced troubled times."

Ruizhou's life is hard when the emperor is in power, and in troubled times, Yang Xixuan quickly took power, and the people of Ruizhou seem to have fallen into a nest of blessings, who can't stand it!

Ziheng was delighted, "My mother said that luck is also a skill."

Ming Jiao read it silently, "Mr. is right, luck is indeed a skill."

Han Chenhui was even more unwilling to say anything, so he dug out the beggar chicken from the fire pit. There was no lotus leaf to wrap it, so he could only use other non-toxic leaves to replace it. Although it didn't have the fragrance of lotus leaves, the taste of the chicken was not bad with enough ingredients.

The Northern Expeditionary Army was resting while walking, which was extremely consuming of food and grass. However, the military rations accumulated over the years were enough to consume, and it seemed that the autumn harvest was about to come again. This year, the Southern Expedition had a bumper harvest, and the Northern Expeditionary Army did not have to worry about food and grass at all.

The actions of the Northern Expeditionary Army were quickly reported to Zhang Min, Zhang Min wanted to vomit blood, what did Yang Xixuan's Northern Expeditionary Army show off?Show off your wealth?
Zhang Min didn't know at all that the advancing speed of the Northern Expeditionary Army was calculated, and the calculation of the autumn harvest season had to wait for news from Nanzhou and Jeju.

This is a cooperation between the inside and the outside, and with the hidden soldiers and horses in Binzhou, although it can't win Nanzhou, it can force Zhang Min to move his troops north.

In Jeju City at this time, the air was filled with tension. As night fell, some people in the city avoided the patrolling soldiers and horses, and touched the granary where the grain and grass were stored.

In several barracks outside the city, under the cover of night, a few capable soldiers secretly rubbed the keys to the arsenal, and some soldiers even stole a lot of food and hid it, waiting for the opportunity to act.

The time to act soon came. After autumn, there was an autumn rain and then a cold one. It rained heavily at night, and the sound of the rain covered up many sounds.

Yang Xixuan's spies joined Xiao Jiu, and the spies quickly passed on the news, and all the barracks took action.

The night was dark and windy and it was raining. It was a perfect killing night. All the northern soldiers guarding the barracks were killed, and all the soldiers loyal to the Min family were also captured.

The gate of the barracks was opened, and the selected soldiers followed Xiao Jiu into Jeju City. Their goal was food and grass. There was not much food and grass in the barracks, and it was not enough to support their escape. The food and grass in Jeju City was their goal.

The spies in the city had already put down the guards of the granary, put the bags of grain and grass on the horse and covered them with coir raincoats, and then quickly left the city.

The guards at the city gate didn't seem to be aware of it. When the patrolling soldiers found something was wrong, they found out after investigating that all the soldiers guarding the city were poisoned and unconscious.

They hurriedly fired signal flares into the sky, but unfortunately it was already too late, the soldiers and horses outside the city had already assembled, and the heavy rain wet every southern soldier. At this moment, they not only wanted to go home, but also returned with glory.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the sound of rain could no longer hide the sound. When the northern soldiers in Jeju City reacted, more than 2 soldiers and horses swept every barracks. When the strategy of laboring soldiers controlled the southern soldiers, they also trained the southern soldiers. , Soldiers with faith in their hearts fight twice as much.

The shouts of killing were heard in Jeju City, and suddenly the sound of gunpowder explosion sounded, and the people woke up from their dreams.

At Yang Zhanpeng's house, Mrs. Wei hugged her son tightly, she panicked, Jeju city and Nanzhou are the safest places, why there was a cry of killing.

Shui Shi rushed in with his clothes covered in water, his expression was agitated and a little crazy, "The Northern Expeditionary Army is here, us."

Wei Shi interrupted her mother-in-law, "We really want to hide."

Then he signaled all the women in the room to go down, only the mother-in-law was left, Wei Shi sternly said, "You want to kill us?"

Shui Shi realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, but her excitement still did not subside, "I was wrong, but since the Southern Army is here, we can follow."

Her daughter is the princess, her son-in-law is Lord Hou, she is the princess's mother, Yang Huang will not embarrass her because of her daughter's face, if she wants to see her daughter, she must see her daughter.

Seeing her mother-in-law's crazy appearance, Mrs. Wei lowered her eyes. The glory and wealth represented by her aunt hangs over her mother-in-law. These years, her mother-in-law has long lost the patience to wait. Hearing the sound of heavy rain, Mrs. Wei raised her hand to touch her son's forehead, Going out in the rain in this weather, my son couldn't bear it.

And it's just a war outside, who knows who will win?
Wei Shi snorted coldly, "Then we can't go out until it's over."

Shui Shi's reason came back, now is indeed not the time to go out, she didn't go back to her room, she was also afraid.

As time passed, the shouts of killing became farther and farther away. Wei Shi felt relieved. She didn't think it was a good time to leave. Shui Shi couldn't accept it. All gone.

Shui Shi asked hopefully, "Did you win?"

Wei sneered, "Jeju City is heavily guarded, what do you think?"

Shui Shi panicked, "Don't you say that Emperor Yang's army is the strongest?"

Wei Shi is more foresighted, she thinks this matter is not simple, obviously Emperor Yang's Northern Expedition army is advancing towards Xinzhou, how could it suddenly break into Jeju?
