Chapter 68： i have 1 friend

In He Ruiming's courtyard, several old men soon came, and the leader was He Guangyin, the head of the He family.

"Hui Ming, what's the reason for the commotion just now?"

The yard where He Yuming lived, even his family members were driven out. It was a place for his office, and the He family members would not disturb him at ordinary times. Only when they heard that 100,000 urgent military information was sent to the He House, the He family knew that something was going on.

"Yes, my father. Turdo, the ghost commander of Ulan, led a hundred thousand iron cavalry to bypass our army in the westward expedition and attacked the city of Hantian. The guard Qin Boyi deserved death. It is suspected that he opened the city gate and defected to the enemy. The city of Hantian has been lost. already."

He Ruiming didn't hide anything anymore. The news of the fall of Hantian City could not be concealed, and it would spread to the three houses in Yangzhou at the latest the day after tomorrow.

The war between the Dacheng Dynasty and the Ulan Kingdom has always been fought around the city of Hantian. If the city of Hantian is lost, the Dacheng Dynasty will suffer a **** storm.

The Ulan Iron Cavalry moves quickly, and once it breaks through the border and enters the country, it will soon set off a **** storm. When the Dacheng Dynasty dispatched troops from all directions to arrive, they left again.

The running ability of Wulan Baoju is far greater than that of mountain horses in the Dacheng Dynasty. Even if it is the same horse breed, Dacheng cannot tame it.

This made it impossible to catch up. If the number of troops was not enough, they would be eaten by the Ulan Iron Cavalry.

For the past two hundred years, the only way to do it was to stick to the city of Hantian, constantly reinforce and heighten the city wall, and even built more than 800 li of pass city walls, rolling along with the mountains.

The greatest wish of the emperors of the past dynasties was to sweep across Ulan, to pacify the royal court of the grasslands, to establish unparalleled achievements, and to achieve dynastic hegemony.

The Ulan Kingdom, on the other hand, seldom went deep into the territory of Dacheng. It always regarded the three states in the western border as a pasture. Once it entered the customs and looted it once, everything would be moved away and looted.

"The city of Hantian is lost, and the three states in the western border are afraid that there will be another **** storm."

Patriarch He Guangyin frowned and realized the seriousness of the problem. He walked to a map of Dacheng's territory hanging on the wall, pointed to the map and said:

"The western borders of Rongzhou, Yuzhou, and Ning (Ning) are mountainous, but they are dominated by low hills. According to the previous wars, the Ulan Iron Cavalry can sweep the three states in only three days."

"If that's the case, I'll just repeat the same mistakes, but this time, it may be much more serious."

He Ruiming pointed at Dayuecheng in Ulan and said:

"Dacheng's 200,000 elite army has already arrived outside Dayue City. If I were Turdo, I would definitely choose to cut off the army's supplies, wait until the army runs out of food and grass, and then encircle and destroy it in one fell swoop, and a few of the 200,000 people will survive. "

An old man from the He family asked aloud: "If Dai Tianlan chooses to capture Dayuecheng, get food and grass supplies, and then wait for the Dacheng reinforcements to arrive in the east of Hantiancheng, with such an attack from both inside and outside, wouldn't it be difficult for Turdo to defend Hantiancheng? escape?"

He Ruiming shook his head. Although this clan uncle is good at business, he doesn't know anything about marching and fighting.

"In order to move quickly, the army of the Western Expedition attacked Dayuecheng with only a few days of food and grass. If it was insufficient, it would rely on the follow-up supplies of Hantian City. If the surprise attack was successful and Dayuecheng was successfully captured, it would be no problem.

But now, Hantian City has fallen, and the supply of luggage has been cut off.

The prairie city was undefended, and in order to move quickly, the Western Expedition army did not carry any siege weapons. "

He Ruiming took a sip of tea and continued:

"This is not the worst result. Turdo is known as the ghost handsome, and he has always been ruthless. If I were him and got the news in advance, I would definitely not let the army get supplies in Dayuecheng.

As for Dacheng's reinforcements, it is impossible to count on it in a short time.

This expedition to Ulan has a total of 200,000 elites. Now the three states in the western border plus Yangzhou, the troops and horses are empty, most of them are local garrison, and there are only more than 20,000 people in total.

After two days, the king was furious, raised food and grass, and dispatched a large army to help. The fastest was two months later.

This time, maybe even the central states of Dacheng will be devastated by the war, and Yangzhou will not be spared. "

He Ruiming didn't mention the matter of the national teacher again. In his opinion, the real person Zhiyang, who won the emperor's favor by presenting the elixir of life, was simply a calamity to the country.

Originally, Dacheng's national power became more and more powerful in the past few years, and the emperor's mind gradually changed.

Then suddenly a real person of Zhiyang appeared. He would do whatever the emperor liked. If the emperor wanted to go on an expedition to Ulan, he actively facilitated it. The power of Dacheng's cultivation world and martial arts world, carrying a giant bow and crossbow, and the help of the ministers with the supreme secret method, will surely be able to surprise Ulan and flatten the grassland royal court...'

This is not the evil way of harming the country, but what is it?

"Hui Ming, since you think the situation is so critical, what can the He family do for you? The He family has made great achievements for generations, and has always taken protecting the family and the country as its own responsibility. There are hundreds of He family martyrs in the Martyrs' Temple, and Don't be afraid of more."

Patriarch He Guangyin sighed, patted the armrest of the Grand Master's chair, and said harshly.

He Ruiming knelt down and said: "Father, my son is not filial. I have been working outside for all these years, and I have never served you for a day. Today, the country is in crisis. As a war officer in Yangzhou, my son is actually in charge of the military situation in the four states.

In this situation, Baer will contact the four states and organize the township army to go to Hantian City as quickly as possible. Then, they recruited a large number of food, grass, and supplies, ordered their soldiers, and then chose the opportunity to respond to the army in the west, retreating to harass the Ulan Iron Cavalry, and delaying the enemy's marching speed.

However, even though the child is in an official position, he is still a low-key person. Most of these matters involve the squires, landlords, wealthy and powerful people from all over the world, and he also asks his father to climb up and help the child. "

He Guangyin nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "The He family can take out 50,000 taels of silver and 500 people from the township group as an example, and then write the script of the four states' wealthy families to help you.

It's just that, raising the banner of the township army this time, I understand that you don't want to humiliate the lintel of the He family. "

"My son, thank you very much, my father. My son will be the first and the soldier, and he will die. He does not seek meritorious service, but only seeks to live in the Martyrs' Shrine after his death, so as to set an example for future generations of his family."

"Okay, okay. The silver taels will be ready early tomorrow morning. Your eldest brother is in charge of the hometown in the countryside. The villagers will obey him. The pigeons will pass the book in a while, and they will be able to bring people tomorrow afternoon. I will support you first. Great momentum."

He Guangyin nodded, feeling that the old eyes were a little obscure, as if sand had entered.

"The boy went to see the Yangzhou prefect overnight. This time, he organized a township army and raised supplies. He had to rely on him a lot."

After everyone negotiated properly, the old men went down to work on their own. He Guangyin, leaning on crutches, stood at the entrance of the small courtyard, and muttered to himself, "The mansion needs to buy more white cloth, and more fragrant wax and candles. I'm afraid it won't be enough soon."

Unconsciously, the old tears fell, but they were only secretly wiped away. He Jiaerlang didn't know how much he was going to die this time.

Yunsu heard from the beginning to the end, and felt that this He Yuming was still very responsible and capable. He was in the military department, but he did not have much corrupt officialdom, but had the courage to serve the country with loyalty.

The He family has such a family style, the head of the family is wise, and there is such a mainstay as He Ruming, no wonder he has an extraordinary momentum.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Last night, the security of the entire Yangming Mansion was much more heavily guarded. The number of soldiers on the night curfew patrol was doubled.

Since dawn, many small groups of soldiers and horses have arrived one after another. These soldiers are dressed in shabby clothes. Most of them are on foot. There are very few horses.

These are the soldiers who were mobilized from the nearby county town after receiving the order from He Ruiming yesterday.

As time went on, more and more people came. From the soldiers at the beginning to the villagers and civilians at the back, they all came one after another. There were actually more than 800 people in the Hundred People's Regiment, some even without weapons.

The empty school ground outside the city soon became lively. He Ruiming's deputy general of the Imperial Guard personally led people to sit in the town. After a while, the smoke was everywhere, but he was cooking in a pot.

On both sides of the Tuo River, there are also many horses galloping, and many children of the rivers and lakes are coming.

Yunsu wandered outside the He Mansion, and saw that there were many more people coming in and out, and official documents from all over the place were also being delivered.

"This gentleman, where are you coming to?"

A person from the He family who looked like a master, stood at the door as a deacon, saw Yunsu strolling in, stopped at the foot of the steps, and looked at the gate of the He residence. Feeling extraordinary, he took the initiative to go down the steps and asked with hands.

"Su is here to meet a friend."

"Sir, please forgive me. There are many important military affairs in the mansion today. It's not good to invite you in directly. I dare to ask you who you want to see, and who is the man in charge of the old man. You can pass it on on your behalf."

"Why don't you say anything."

When the steward heard that he was looking for the young master, he immediately believed it. Only the young master who had learned to be rich and only had so many extraordinary friends.

After a while, He Buyu walked out quickly, and when he saw Yunsu from a distance, he raised his brows and saluted:

"Sure enough, Mr. Su is here. Please follow the distant mountains into the mansion to show the friendship of the landlord."

Why not speak, the word is far away.

"He's busy with everything today, so Su won't bother you anymore. Why don't you and I find a tea house for a chat."

"Hahaha, that's fine too."

Why Buyu took Yunsu to a tea garden in the city called 'Yanhuilai', which was built on a mountain. There were all kinds of tea trees planted in the garden, most of them were black tea trees, pavilions, pavilions, and small bridges. Running water, very elegant.

"Mr. Su, the most famous Yangming black tea from Yan's return is Yangming black tea. Please taste it."

The two chose an outdoor tea seat, with a stone table and a stone platform, surrounded by tea trees, some of which were in bloom, and the scent of camellias was somewhat different from that of potpourri, which was extraordinarily unique.

The cement stove and the tea set are brought up, so why not make tea and divide the tea in person?

"Good tea, drink Yang black tea at the foot of Yangming Mountain, good tea, good water and good mountains."

The two had a few drinks and chatted a few words about the recent situation.

"I really didn't expect that Yuan Shan would be able to drink Yanghong with Mr. Su before leaving. It's no regrets."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"Mr. Su is not an outsider either. I wanted to come and hear it in the city. The city of Hantian fell, and my 200,000 elites were trapped outside the gate. Now the situation is rotten, my third uncle decided to command the township army to go to reinforce and support."

He Buyu sighed and said:

"My He family has been loyal for generations and has passed down its merits for a hundred years. This time, in order to help my third uncle, I intend to set an example for the four weeks. In addition to donating a large amount of silver, I also sent out eight hundred township regiments to train soldiers, and there are more than 80 clan children. People, except for those who left the heirs, all the houses have passed away.

I haven't been doing my job properly these years, and I've become a rebel among scholars.

Originally, I was afraid of life and death and did not dare to enter the capital to participate in the palace examination, but I also thought about the greatness of the world, there are countless capable people, and there are also ministers who can rule the world like the Prime Minister Wang.

This time, it was different. "

"Do you want to go too?"

"I want to go, but I have to go."

He Buyu continued: "I became famous when I was young, and after I learned about Yuan, I became even more fascinated by the hexagrams, hexagrams, and Yaos.

After meeting Mr. Su, I figured out a lot of things, but instead, I became more relaxed and calm.

This time, the national disaster is on the horizon, and the Ulan iron cavalry is coming day and night, but it is absolutely impossible to avoid and retreat. I am willing to learn from the ancients and learn martial arts to fight the enemy. "

Yun Suda measured He Buyu, there was no infuriating flow in his body, indicating that at least he did not have internal strength, his limbs were relatively well-developed and strong, his palms were somewhat calloused, and his steps were steady, which should be traces left by practicing marksmanship and swords all year round.

"Can you be sure that you will be able to join the army with a pen?"

"Speaking of which, Mr. Su don't want to joke. On the literary side, I have read thousands of books since I was a child, many of them are military books and tricks, and have family backgrounds. I am not unfamiliar with marching and fighting.

On the side of martial arts, although the meridians are not smooth, and there is no suitable internal strength to practice, but he has practiced the military formation martial arts handed down by the He family again and again, and three or five people are not afraid of it.

If he goes into battle to kill the enemy, with a pair of refined treasure armor and a long spear of more than ten feet, he will have the confidence to pull a few Wulan children to back up Yunsu smiled lightly, poured tea, and said:

"Although the future is uncertain, misfortune and fortune depend on each other. Since you are both civil and military, you can go if you want. Your appearance is not a sign of short-lived, and there may be some noble people to help you.

A person's life is full of ill-fated and changeable fortunes.

If you go to Beijing to take the exam and become an official in the imperial examination, you may be killed by a traitor in the court.

However, if you choose to join the army, the murderous intentions are overwhelming, the cause and effect are intertwined, the fortune is entangled, and the fortune of the dynasty affects the personal fortune. On the contrary, there may be more variables, and it is also possible to change one's life in one fell swoop. "

"Hahaha, it turns out that Mr. Su sees it this way, and it's the same as what he thinks below, and the hexagrams are also obscure. If you die on the battlefield this time, I don't know if I will meet Mr. Su after 18 years. If he was lucky enough not to die, He would not be greedy for pomp, and would still go back to the academy to teach."

He Buyu could see it openly, as if he had let go of a heavy burden in his heart for many years, and became more free and easy.

Yunsu also understands his feelings. He became famous at a young age, and he was a high school student. He was originally the most promising junior in the entire He family. As a result, he studied hexagrams and calculus, and was afraid of going to Beijing to take the exam. Although he was hiding in Yuyang City to teach, he was not necessarily There is no guilt, fetters, and unwillingness to the family and relatives.

He Buyu was a typical person before, the more he knew, the more he was afraid of, and the more miserable and tiring his life was.

Now that the national disaster is on the horizon, it is the best time for him to be ashamed.

Going to Beijing to take the exam, studying will kill people, it is better to fight the enemy and pull a few backs, not only will not disgrace the family, but also can protect the family and the country, how happy it is.

Yunsu poured him a cup of tea and smiled:

"Don't worry, Su also has a friend who will also travel west this time. Maybe you have a chance to meet him."
