Dayan first waste material

Rongzhou, Lucheng.

The army traveled from the capital to Lucheng for ten days and nights. During these ten days, there were great changes. Six of the seven cities in Rongzhou were captured, and the people were killed and injured. Now only one Lucheng is still standing.

Lucheng is the largest city in Rongzhou, and it is also the fortress of Rongzhou. If Lucheng is broken, Yongzhou will be behind.

When Mu Huaichuan arrived with an army of 30, Lucheng had just finished a battle. The enemy might have detected the news of the arrival of reinforcements, so they withdrew early.

The 30 troops could not be stationed in the city, but had to camp outside the city. Mu Huaichuan brought Wei Jiuyuan and He Xinyuan to Lucheng, and joined Li Congrong who had retreated to Lucheng from the front line.

Li Congrong was the general who had asked him to lead an army of [-] to support Rongzhou before the Junting Banquet. As for the original soldiers of Rongzhou, they were basically gone.

"You Yushi, you are finally here!"

Li Congrong came out from the government office to greet him, and now the magistrate's office is a temporary military point.

Mu Huaichuan saw that Li Congrong had injuries on his face, which seemed to be injured a few days ago, and he was already recovering. Behind him were two middle-aged men in local official uniforms, who had always been the prefect and supervisor of Lucheng.

The prefect and Jianzhou are both local officials. The prefect is in charge of the military affairs of Rongzhou. Jianzhou is regarded as the prefect's deputy and also has the responsibility of supervision.

Mu Huaichuan clasped his fists at Li Congrong: "General Li, the situation is serious, please tell me about the current situation."

Li Congrong nodded repeatedly, casually introduced the magistrate Wang Mingyou and Jianzhou Tao Fuyong, and led Mu Huaichuan and the others to discuss military matters.

There is a sand table in the lobby of the government office, on which is the defense map of Rongzhou.

Li Congrong frowned, pointed at the sand table and said: "Now there is only Lucheng in Rongzhou, and the other cities have been captured. The Gu clan in southern Xinjiang is not the main force in this war, but the monster clan is, and the monster clan is too powerful. They There are flying monster birds, ferocious tigers and leopards, snake demons and fox demons on the battlefield, etc. There are too many types, and they all have special supernatural powers, it is really difficult to deal with."

Mu Huaichuan also frowned: "What about the people in other cities? Did they evacuate with you?"

Li Congrong nodded slowly: "Yes, there are, but there are so many people in so many cities. Some followed us to Lucheng, and now they have been resettled, and some fled halfway, probably wanting to go to other cities. , Now I don’t know whether I am dead or alive.”

Mu Huaichuan hummed, and asked again: "How long have you been retreating to Lucheng?"

"Three days."

"How many times did the enemy attack during this period?"

"Three times, they came to attack every day. Fortunately, we retreated in time and the damage was not serious. There are still more than 7 soldiers in the city."

Li Congrong took away [-] troops from the capital, and now there are only [-] left. The soldiers who were originally stationed in Rongzhou are probably gone.

Mu Huaichuan's heart was filled with anger, and he said in a deep voice, "That is to say, they are very likely to attack again tomorrow?"

Li Congrong sighed: "I can't be sure, their scouts can fly, so they must have grasped the number of reinforcements on our side, and they may not dare to come."

Mu Huaichuan snorted: "They don't dare to come, so we'll find them."

Li Congrong was startled, and cautiously probed: "You Yushi, what do you mean by that?"

Mu Huaichuan looked at him: "Who is the leader of the enemy army?"

Li Congrong replied immediately: "The leader of the Nanjiang Gu clan is Handa, and the leader of the Yao clan, Hong Ling, is a fox monster. This fox monster is very powerful. When fighting, it can emit charms, making our people still fantasize about it." was killed."

This is the scary thing about the monster race.

Mu Huaichuan nodded: "General Li, we have found out where their camp is on the way here, and I will sneak in with people and kill their leader."

Li Congrong turned pale with shock: "You Yushi, this is too risky."

"General Li, don't worry, I will only take people from the Inspectorate. If the situation is critical, we will be able to escape unscathed."

Li Congrong nodded slowly, and asked casually, "You Yushi, when do you plan to act?"

Mu Huaichuan was taken aback, then subconsciously glanced at Li Congrong, and then replied very casually: "Of course it is after nightfall."

Li Congrong smiled and agreed: "You Yushi, how about I go with you? I am a Xuan-level martial artist, so I should be able to help."

Mu Huaichuan waved his hand: "No need, General Li still stays in the city to stabilize the overall situation."

Li Congrong nodded with a smile: "Alright, your Inspectorate has the style of the Inspectorate. I may not be able to help you if I go there. It would be bad if I made trouble for you. Alas, this time Deputy Envoy Shen did not come?"

Mu Huaichuan frowned slightly: "Why did General Li ask about Deputy Envoy Shen?"

Li Congrong said with a smile: "You Yushi doesn't know something. I was considered a good friend with Mr. Shen in the imperial court. Deputy Shen is the eldest daughter of Mr. Shen. I heard that His Majesty sent people from the Inspectorate to support Rongzhou. Whether the messenger will come or not, this girl is a daughter after all, I am a little worried about her."

Mu Huaichuan was stunned, and said in a deep voice, "Vice Envoy Shen and Zuo Yushi stayed in the capital."

Li Congrong nodded with a smile: "So that's how it is. It's good. You Yushi is exhausted, why don't you have something to eat first?"

"No need, take me to see the wounded. We came from the capital this time. His Majesty gave a lot of good medicine. We need to give medicine to the injured soldiers as soon as possible."

Li Congrong's eyes lit up: "Really? That's great, right Yushi please, I'll lead you there."

Under the leadership of Li Congrong, Mu Huaichuan went to the camp where the remnant soldiers were placed, and distributed what they brought from the capital to the soldiers.

These medicines are the best medicines in the palace, and some are given by His Majesty separately for the seriously injured. Those ointments have a medicinal fragrance and are packed in green jars. They are obviously refined from excellent medicinal materials.

Mu Huaichuan had seen a similar ointment from Shen Sitang before, but it was packed in a small translucent green porcelain bottle, which was particularly delicate, and it seemed that the medicinal fragrance was stronger, and there was even a fresh and pleasant floral fragrance.

Thinking of Shen Sitang, Mu Huaichuan couldn't help but sigh. With Shen Sitang's temperament, she must be scratching her heart if she didn't come to kill the enemy with them this time.

But that's fine too, if she comes with him, he will have to be worried, for fear that she will rush to the front.

If something happened to her, how should he explain to His Majesty, and how should he explain to himself?
What Mu Huaichuan didn't know was that Shen Sitang, who he thought was still in the capital, actually came to Rongzhou a long time ago.

Shen Sitang has Yunchi and rides extremely fast. It took them half a month to reach Rongzhou Lucheng, but she only took ten days to reach Rongzhou, and it took another day to reach Muyang City.

Now Shen Sitang has sneaked into Muyang City, while Yunchi was hidden outside Muyang City. Shen Sitang asked Yunchi to go far away and wait for her, and Yunchi went to find grass to eat by himself.

All the people in Muyang City have been killed, leaving only a few people from the Gu and Yao clans to deal with the aftermath in the city. It is very safe to come to Yunchi.
