Autumn frost with pear sister-in-law to the town, a town found a group of people crazy like running towards a place.
Sister Li quickly grabbed a woman and asked, "what are you going to do?"
Seeing that she couldn't get rid of her sister-in-law Li, the woman who was holding her arm said in a hurry: "the grain is spread out. Everyone has gone to buy grain. Don't pull me. I'm going to buy food, too. "
Li's sister-in-law was overjoyed. She let go of the woman's hand and said to Qiushuang, "let's go and have a look. If there's food to sell, we'll buy some." Two months ago, the grain shops in the town closed. I don't know why the grain shop has reopened.
Qiushuang is a little suspicious. She doesn't have a good intuition. She lowers her voice and says, "I'll ask you later why the grain shop sells grain." It is not surprising that these grain merchants still have grain in their hands. These people hoard grain for a good price. But there must be something wrong with selling grain at this time.
At the gate of the grain shop, there are six long lines, and there are more than 30 yamen messengers nearby to maintain order. Qiushuang and sister-in-law Li also stand in one of the shorter teams.
Looking at dozens of people ahead, Mrs. Li said anxiously, "what if it's our turn and the grain is sold out?" She has two liang silver from Qiushuang in her hand. She is ready to exchange all the silver for grain. In this way, the whole family will be able to stay up until the beginning of spring.
Qiushuang didn't speak. She was afraid to open her mouth and attract others' attention. However, she also hopes to buy some fine grains to improve the food for her girls.
Fortunately, the food was still on sale when it was their turn. When Mrs. Li heard that she could only buy 20 jin of coarse grain for two liang of silver, her eyes widened: "what? One or two silver can only buy 20 jin of grain? Are you robbing? " In general, a kilo of coarse grain is only four or five coppers, but now it's fifty coppers a kilo, which is not the way to rob money.
The man who sold the grain said, "if you don't buy it, go away. Don't delay our business!" If the rebels were not coming to Mai Cheng soon, their owners would not be willing to sell food. The grain will be bought in the new year. It will be a bucket of silver or two.
No matter how angry she was, Mrs. Li could only change her silver into grain. This 40 Jin grain is barely enough for my family for a month.
Qiushuang handed his ingot of ten taels of silver to the man and said, "five taels of silver, white rice, five taels of silver, fine flour." Buy some white rice noodles to improve the girl's food.
The price of coarse grain has gone up, and the price of white rice and fine flour is even higher. Ten taels of silver, but also only for 30 jin of white rice noodles.
Qiushuang doesn't tell them right and wrong. She goes to the grocery store with her grain on her back. In the grocery store, I bought some dried goods such as red dates and soybeans. It was also in the grocery store that Qiushuang finally knew why the grain store opened. It turned out that the northwest army was fighting back, and the meeting was not far away from Lanzhou. Lanzhou city is only a few days away from the wheat city. The boss of the grain shop was worried that the rebels were coming, so he wanted to sell the grain for money and run away.
Hearing the news, Qiushuang breathed a sigh of relief. General Yun finally turned back, so my uncle would get away soon.
Walking out of the grocery store, Mrs. Li said anxiously, "Miss frost, there are two people following us." They put a lot of grain in the basket, but they can't be robbed by these people.
Qiushuang didn't look back and went on. Passing by a butcher's shop, I saw that the butcher was selling meat. At this time, Qiushuang had spent all her money. After thinking about it, she took off the tremella ring from her ear and replaced it with a small piece of meat.
On the way back, they met three gangs of robbers, two of whom were dressed in official clothes. Qiushuang is very resentful about these officials. Seeing that these people dare to rob, she immediately kills them both. As for the other group of hungry dizzy just grab their food autumn frost did not under the cruel hand, only two people dizzy.
Pear sister-in-law scared legs are soft, said: "frost girl, these people will certainly come to." If you want to kill an official and come to the door at the right time, it's not going to affect the whole family.
Qiushuang said calmly: "Sister Li, don't worry. These people are not official, they just wear official clothes." It's also Qiushuang who knows that the northwest army is coming, so she dares to kill. If it's normal, she will be taboo.
Back in the village, Qiushuang told Fu Qingluo the good news: "girl, I'm sure you'll follow me too. Then we'll go to find you..."
Without saying anything, Fu Qingluo shook her head and refused: "no, I can't go to find elder brother." If you go to the elder brother, she will not only lose her freedom, but also her children.
Qiushuang asked, "what shall we do? We don't have much money They have used up more than half of their money.
Fu Qingluo said, "when the northwest army arrives, you will go to find Duoming." She can't walk around like this. Fortunately, duo Ming is not a real anti thief. Otherwise, the elder brother would not recognize her all his life.
The northwest army set out from Yucheng to Wucheng. Without a single soldier, they occupied a large area of Gansu for themselves. However, this good thing ended in Lanzhou city.
After Ji Xuan got the news of the northwest rebellion, he quickly mobilized 100000 troops to Lanzhou to defend Lanzhou City, and sent Chen Wei to attack Nancheng. Chen Wei, who was scolded as a waste by Yun Qing and Feng Dajun, was extremely fierce this time. Within three days, nearly half of the volunteers in Nancheng were killed and wounded.
Yang Duoming is a little worried. If it goes on like this, the south city will be broken in three days. At that time, they really have to flee to Shu.
Yan Xi, a confidant in his heart, was very strange. He said suspiciously: "the soldiers of the imperial court are now brave. Why did they not only hold their hands, but also show incompetence before?" Yan Xi can't understand.
Yang Duoming was silent for a long time and said, "we were cheated by Ji Xuan. It's not that Ji Xuan can't exterminate the rebel army. He's dragging it on purpose. It's the drunk man's intention not to drink. "
Yan Xi asked, "who is Ji Xuan's goal?" Who has such a big face that Ji Xuan deserves to play such a big game of chess.
Yang Duoming said: "his target is Yunqing. If you can get rid of Yunqing, then the northwest is really his world. " The northwest army is like a sharp sword hanging over Ji Xuan's head. Once he has a bad heart, this sword will soon kill him.
Yan Xi said anxiously: "Ji Xuan, the leader of the army, mobilized 100000 troops from Shaanxi to Lanzhou city. Not counting Chen Wei's troops, but the people and horses in Lanzhou City, the total number is 134000. Yunqing has only 30000 troops. Can he fight? " Four to one, who loses and who wins still have doubts!
Yang Duoming was lost in thought.
But Shen Xiaomao said anxiously: "the great leader, Chen Wei's troops are about to break the south city. We can't wait here to die!"
Yang Duoming shook his head and said, "we must send someone to send these messages to Yunqing." If cloud engine is not prepared, it will suffer a great loss.
Yan Xi said with a headache: "big boss, now we can't protect ourselves. Where can we send messages to Yunqing?"
Yang Duoming said: "in any case, we must send the message to Yunqing." If Yunqing fails this time, he may not get revenge in his life. So, even if he is struggling to die, he will send this message to Yunqing to let Yunqing know.
Yan Xi shook his head and said: "big boss, it's not practical. We are hundreds of miles away from Yunqing, and the road is blocked. When our news arrives, the day lily will be cold. "
Yang Duoming didn't say a word, because Yan Xi was right.
Yunqing is not a radical person. Even if he is rebellious this time, he is not eager to occupy the chassis to expand his strength, but to fight steadily. Therefore, every time he sent a large number of scouts to the front to explore the way. In this way, there will naturally be some delay.
Cui Mo felt that Yun Qing was too careful and said, "general, these local troops are counsellors." These local armies either run away or surrender. What's to worry about.
Cloud engine looked at Cui Mo and said: "the terrain ahead is complex. If someone is ambushing there, we will definitely suffer a big loss." Although their northwest army has a strong fighting capacity, it is still invincible and can attack without fail.
As a general, I naturally hope to win. However, it would be better if we could reduce casualties while winning battles, and cloud engine has done a good job in this aspect.
Cui Mo couldn't help muttering to Yuan Ying: "the general is too careful."
Yuan Ying glared at Cui Mo and said, "general, it's not careful. It's safe. It's responsible for 30000 soldiers." There was no ambush, and they were only delayed for half a day. But once there is an ambush, scouts can detect it and reduce unnecessary casualties.
Cui Mo disdains a way: "those people have not started to fight to run, where come ambush?" The local army is vulnerable. When they hear their name, they run away. They dare to ambush. They are joking!
Yuan Ying was too lazy to argue with Cui Mo and said, "just do what the general says. Otherwise, when you are beaten, don't say brother, I didn't remind you. " Cloud engine fire, in addition to Huo Changqing, no one dry intercession.
Cui Mo also muttered a few words, how dare not listen to cloud Qing. Once the military order is violated, it's light to hit the staff. I'm afraid the general will cut off his head directly. To live a good life and lose one's life is a real injustice.
Facts have proved that Yunqing's caution is right. Twelve scouts were sent out, and one came back and was seriously injured.
Yunqing heard that the scouts said there was an ambush in Gaojialing, but he didn't jump his brow. He asked, "how many soldiers and horses have you found in the ambush?" Even in case of emergency, as a leading general, he should not be in a hurry, not in a hurry, not in a mess.
The scoundrel shook his head and said, "it's not clear, but there are a lot of people watching." When they found an ambush, the men sent after them. Thanks to the protection of the other eleven brothers, he escaped. Otherwise, he would have been killed and injured.
Cloud engine immediately ordered the army to stop: "ready to fight." Just because they don't move forward doesn't mean those people don't fight.
Cui Mo knew the news, immediately scared out of a cold sweat: "Damn, I didn't expect there was an ambush." If the scouts didn't get information, the army entered the ambush circle, and the consequences were unimaginable.
