Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 314 Reputation
Ning Wan had a good idea, Tie Shi was discussing with everyone to rescue Anpingwei.

By noon, the military order had been issued, and [-] elite soldiers were dispatched from Hutai City. At tomorrow morning, they would leave the city to repel the besieging barbarians and go directly to Anpingwei.After listening to the order, the officers and soldiers left naturally to prepare their horses and soldiers, and Ning Wan also helped Tie Shi prepare a set of armor and clothes at home.

This day, Tie Shi came back earlier than usual. After dinner, he took his wife and a pair of young children back to the room. The family of four chatted and played for a while, and after putting the two children to sleep, he held his wife's hand. He spoke softly, "Although I want to take away 5000 people, it should be no problem to leave Chen Yong, Mrs. Yang and [-] soldiers, plus the common people defending the city. And I also specifically confessed that if within five days I If there is no news, or the barbarians suddenly attack more fiercely, pour ice and defend the city immediately, and you can always survive this winter."

Ning Wan knew it in her heart, but after a while she asked, "Why are you willing to tell me?"

Tie Shi held his daughter-in-law in his arms, rubbed her head vigorously, and messed up the hair that had been disassembled and combed smoothly, "I didn't want to tell you earlier, but I also gave Chen Yong and Yang a lot of things. Madame. But just now, I suddenly decided not to hide anything from you."

"You understand the current situation outside. Commander Zhou is hateful. He sits and watches Tiger Terrace being besieged indifferently. Not only has he lost his integrity, but he is also a disaster for Liaodong. But I can't see Anpingwei being captured by barbarians like him. And if Anpingwei is not protected, even if we keep Hutai, most of the land in Liaodong will fall into the hands of barbarians. If we only keep Hutai, an isolated city, if the imperial court and the General Army Mansion still don’t arrive after the spring of next year, Hu It will be even more difficult.”

"I dispatched troops this time, after careful planning, the chances of winning are not small: Harlang led [-] soldiers to the south, besieged Hutai for more than two months and lost at least thousands of soldiers, and now the troops are divided into two, with great strength Minus. As for me, I have always had the upper hand when defending the city. Although there are casualties, they are far lighter than the barbarians. I have Chen Yong and Xu Cai who have recently entered the city. In addition, we are waiting for work in the city, and our morale is booming. Fight the barbarians."

"Right now, the barbarians outside Hutai City should have less than [-] soldiers, and most of them are old and weak. They will definitely win. Before the news comes out, I will go to Anping immediately and catch Harlang by surprise. At this time, Anping Wei Neng sent troops to help, and the two armies attacked, and Harlang would definitely be defeated, even though Anpingwei still stayed behind closed doors, but the Yiren might not be wary, and we still had the upper hand."

"The only thing I'm worried about is that Harlang set a trap to lure me out of the city, and divide up the troops to ambush outside the city. The mountains and rivers between Guanhutai and Pingping have a very suitable place for setting an ambush. If I fall into his trap, it will be true. It's hard to get away." Now that Lu Tieshi had told his wife, he didn't hide anything, told her the worst situation in detail, and then told her his plan, "So when I march, I have to divide my troops into two groups. If one way is ambush, the other way is rescued, and the combined forces retreat back to Hutai, that's the case, I also think the chance of winning is [-]-[-]."

Ning Wan listened quietly, and after he clarified all the facts and reasons to herself, she said with a smile: "I think your odds of winning are still more than five or five, you forgot to count the influence of your reputation on the barbarians !"

"Ms. Yang told me that the barbarians have always feared you like a tiger. This time they discussed going south, and none of the princes came from Liaodong. Only Harlan took over this place when he was young and victorious. I thought, I'm afraid the wood Geyin's youngest son is not good at guarding the stove and snatching Harlang's Khan throne, so he used the aggressive method to let him come to Liaodong to borrow your knife to kill people."

Feeling the iron stone move, Ning Wan raised her hand to cover his mouth, "I know I'm just guessing for no reason, but human relationships are interlinked, and our court princes are fighting for the throne, so what difference can barbarian people make? Even if I'm overthinking, it's true that Harlan's men are afraid of you, right? It's even Harlan who has been attacking outside the Tiger Terrace for more than two months, and the dissatisfaction in his heart has now turned into helplessness!"

"I also know about your generals. The warriors who followed you to the desert to kill the enemy were used as the hundred households, the general banner, and the small banner, and the strong and strong were selected from the military households to join the army. Among them, those who have been trained hard, went to the desert to practice last year, but they are different from ordinary soldiers, and they are not timid towards the barbarians."

"Therefore, I believe that no matter what the situation you encounter after leaving the city, you will win!" In the past, Ning Wan had a dream telling her every victory of Tieshi in advance. Now the dream is in the past, and it is impossible to rely on it anymore, but today When Tieshi was discussing with everyone, she also thought about it seriously, and finally came to this result from the bottom of her heart, "You will definitely win!"

Lu Tieshi just laughed, "She's really my good daughter-in-law, what she said is not bad at all!"

"Now, wash up quickly and get a good night's sleep!" Ning Wan looked up from his arms with a smile, fetched water to serve him on the kang, and then blew out the candles, "Tomorrow morning, we will make beef and radish stuffing Steamed dumplings to see you off." The tone was very normal, as if every time Tie Shi went out before.

In winter, the sun has not yet come out, and the east side has just been brightened, reflecting on the sky, from east to west, it turns from a light moon white to a dark blue that is almost black, with a small crescent bud hanging on one side, cool and cold. And solemn.

An army of thousands of people had assembled in front of the north gate of Hutai City. In order to give a sudden blow to the barbarians outside the city, they did not raise banners, beat gongs and drums at this time, and even lowered the sound of horseshoes and footsteps. The black armor and the tip of the spear gleamed dimly.

Suddenly, more than a dozen old men ran out from the street, rushed to the front of the army, knelt down and stopped the horse's head, "General Iron Stone! Don't leave our Tiger Terrace!"

Naturally, the military order will not be leaked, but the army is ready to go early in the morning, but it still cannot be hidden from the people in the city.At this moment, Tie Shi was already on the horse, got off the horse and helped everyone up and said: "I am going to rescue Anpingwei, Hutai has Chen Baihu and Mrs. Yang guarding the city, and everyone will be safe!"

Everyone said one after another: "Anpingwei didn't come to send reinforcements to rescue us, so why should we bother with them! We only need to keep Hutai County safe, even if the imperial court orders us all to answer! It's their ruthlessness that came first! It was the people of Hutai who refused to let General Tieshi go!"

Another person said: "Isn't General Tieshi worried that there are too many soldiers and horses in the city and there is not enough food? Our family still has several thousand shi of grain, all of which are donated to be used as military rations!"

"Our family donated 1000 taels of silver!"

Tieshi shook his head before he was about to answer. County magistrate Qian had already stepped forward to stop the people who blocked the horse, "Is General Tieshi saving Anpingwei for food and silver? Anping and Hutai are the gateway to Liaodong, and their lips are dead and their teeth are cold. At this time of national crisis , let’s put aside past suspicions and keep our family and country safe!”

"I am the county magistrate of Hutai, how can I want General Tieshi to leave the city? But Mencius said, 'Being born is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. You can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives for righteousness.' When At this time, I must, like Mencius, give up my life for righteousness, and send General Tieshi out of the city with my father and fellow villagers in Hutai!"

County magistrate Qian is a scholar, and his writing is half-understood by everyone, only "life" and "righteousness" are heard, and he has a southern Hokkien accent, which makes everyone think that some life-and-death juncture is coming. The head catcher Youfu raised his eyes and yelled loudly at the catchers to bring everyone back, so many people burst into tears, "We just want General Tieshi to stay in Hutai County to keep everyone safe!"

It was Mrs. Yang who stood up and said loudly: "I grew up in Hutai. Now I obey the order of General Tieshi and my husband to lead the troops to stay behind. I promise to keep everyone safe! All the villagers, just rest assured!"

Chen Yong stood beside her and said with a smile: "I'm the son-in-law of Hutai City, how can I let a barbarian step into Yue's family!"

Ning Wan also persuaded everyone: "It's not only you who are reluctant to leave the city, but I am also unwilling. It's just that the barbarians have now turned to Anping. If Anping is destroyed, Liaodong will encounter catastrophe, and Hutai will not survive alone." What's more, General Tieshi's battle this time has already been well-planned, and he will defeat the barbarians, why don't you give up? Just go home and sit quietly, and welcome the army when it returns to the city after victory!"

Only then did the common people understand, they got out of the way, and they all knelt down and prayed to heaven: "The army will surely win!"

With an order from Tie Shi, the gate of the city was opened with a bang, and the banner with the word "Lu" was raised high. Thousands of people rushed out of Hutai like a dragon entering the sea, and headed for the camp of the barbarians.At this time, the battle drums were beating from the top of the city, and there was a sound of killing on the snow in the wasteland.

Ning Wan stood on the city wall, and in less than half an hour, Tie Shi defeated the barbarians outside Hutai City, left the battlefield to Mrs. Chen Yongyang, and led the troops to Anpingwei, silently chanting in her heart over and over again: "I believe you will win!"

Mrs. Yang did not go home even after entering the city, so she first went to Dejufeng to talk to Ning Wan, "Mrs. Lu, just rest assured, after this battle, the barbarians lost thousands of soldiers, and General Tieshi didn't have to worry about someone getting stabbed behind him when he went to Anpingwei. Harlang is a yellow-mouthed child, and within three months of going south, the strength of the army has been reduced by half, and the morale has dropped early, so he must not be the opponent of General Iron Stone!"

Ning Wan smiled, "It must be Tie Shi who asked you to persuade me, but I understand all these reasons, so there is no need. You are tired all day, go back and rest."

"I'm not tired!" Mrs. Yang shook her head triumphantly, "Although I'm not as strong as Chen Yong in terms of strength, I have more stamina than him!" Ning Wan didn't believe it, so she hurriedly said, "Really! Let's go out together After hunting and horse racing for several days in a row, he is already tired, and I am not tired yet!"

"Why are you still so strong!" Ning Wan smiled when she recalled the old story of their martial arts competition to recruit relatives, "Besides, don't call Chen Baihu by his name directly outside, but call him Baihu or Sir, or call him by his name. Well, lest others hear the joke."

"People in Duolun call it like that, so no one laughs at it!" But Mrs. Yang is still the most willing to listen to Mrs. Lu's words, "He doesn't have any words yet, so you can help him make one."

"I'm not a husband, how can I give someone a name?" Ning Wan originally wanted her to ask County Magistrate Qian for help, but thought that it would be even worse if County Magistrate Qian dropped his book bag and gave Chen Yong a sour name. Then he changed his words again: "Forget it, since Duo Lun is like this, you don't need to change it, just be more careful when you are in Hutai."

"Yes, my father and mother also talk about me all day long."

Ning Wan was puzzled, "You are the most admirable woman in Hutai City now, how could your father and mother still talk about you?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Yang was also a little embarrassed, "I asked Chen Yong to bring me footwashing water that day, and my father heard it."

Needless to say, they did the same in Toronto.Ning Wan asked her quietly, "Is your mother-in-law not angry when she hears that?"

"No! My mother-in-law said that it was lucky for Chen Yong to marry me, so let him treat me better!"

Ning Wan couldn't help but said: "I think you've hit the jackpot too, but a fool has a fool's fortune!" Miss Yang almost became an old girl when she couldn't get married in Hutai County. The family has become Bao'er, not only helping the Chen family to manage the affairs of the hundred households, but also giving birth to two sons, no wonder the old lady of the Chen family likes her.

"We both often say thank you too."

"This is your fate, I'm just building a bridge." Ning Wan said and pushed Mrs. Yang away, "Hurry up and go home, let Chen Baihu bring you some water to wash your feet and scald your feet to rest earlier rest."

"You're making fun of me!" Mrs. Yang said without hesitation, "I don't believe that General Tieshi didn't bring you water to wash your feet!"

This made Ning Wan's face turn red with embarrassment, "Go, go, I won't talk to you anymore!"

But Mrs. Yang has lived in Duolun for several years, and she doesn't blush when she says anything, "If you don't say it, you must have it! Before General Tieshi left, he told Chen Yong and I to take care of you. It’s the first time I saw him gossip like this—tsk tsk, it’s not just about serving water for washing feet!” After all, she was afraid that Madam Lu would be annoyed, so she ran away in a few steps after speaking.
