Chapter 232: Response
.Chapter 232: Reaction
Life in Anqing is not easy, and life in the border troops stationed outside Anqing City is even worse. The wounded soldiers in the camp have basically recovered and have returned to normal training, but the shortage of food and grass has made Yao Meng and Ding Jian frown all day long.
"Wang Qiang, you go to Anqing again and ask for some food from General Yun. Tomorrow, the camp will be cut off!" Ding Jian looked at Wang Qiang and said. Ding Jian's handsome face had been completely destroyed, with a huge scar on half of his face, and he was blinded for another night. In terms of appearance, he really can stop the child from crying at night now...
Wang Qiang said angrily: "What's the use of going? I told you the last time I came back that Anqing would have no food. Now General Lian Yun only drinks a bowl of porridge every day, and everyone has lost weight. Where can I get food for us?"
Wang Qiang is a relatively special figure among the Lucheng border army. Yao Meng and Ding Jian have always been afraid of Wang Qiang's father's death. Among the remaining Lucheng border army, there are many old subordinates of Wang Min, and Wang Qiang is obviously also worried about them. Although the two sides are now stirring in the same pot, they always feel a little out of place between each other.
Yao Meng waved his hand and stopped the two of them from arguing: "Wang Qiang is right, there is nothing to do in Anqing City. Ding Jian, we have to think about our own ways. It is not a big deal to rely on others to help us!"
Ding Jian said deflatedly: "What can I think about now? Could it be that I can rush my troops to rob Tuotuo? I'm afraid that that guy is poorer than us?"
Wang Qiang's eyes lit up: "General Ding has a good idea. Let's go and grab Tutuo. Even if you can't grab some war horses, you can still kill them to satisfy your hunger!"
"Shut up!" Yao Meng scolded: "Do you think war is a joke? Tuotuo is in this way, so why don't we beware of us? Besides, the soldiers are so hungry that they are powerless. How can they fight? They all become soft-legged crabs. Do you want your brothers to die!"
After saying something, both of them were both down.
The door of the tent was lifted, and a small school came in, "General Yao and General An Qingyun are visiting."
"Yun Zhao? What is he here to do at this time?" Yao Meng stood up.
"Did he come alone or..." Ding Jian said excitedly.
The school looked happy, "General Yun brought two carriages, two carriages in total."
"That's great!" Ding Jian rubbed his hands and said, "Brothers, go a little further, dig some wild vegetables and bark back, and let them last for a few days together. Wang Qiang, didn't you say that Anqing has no food? Why are there two carts of food in Yunzhao? "
Wang Qiang looked gloomy, "Is this a big deal? General Yun saved it from the cracks of his teeth! Think about it yourself, may Anqing have surplus food?"
"What are you fighting for? Shut up and don't let Yun Zhao see our jokes!" Yao Meng shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone will come with me to welcome Yun Zhao!"
The three of them walked out. At the gate of the camp, the soldiers guarding the gate had opened the camp gate and two carriages had already driven in. Under the command of a small school, the soldiers were smiling and carrying bags of food down. Many soldiers around were greeting Yun Zhao, and their tone was full of gratitude. Yun Zhao, who had turned over and dismounted, led his big dark horse, walked into the camp, and waved his hands to the soldiers with a smile.
"General Yun, thank you, thank you, this is really a timely help!" Yao Meng snatched up a few steps and bowed to Yun Zhao. Yun Zhao smiled and held Yao Meng's hand, "It's all a family, why bother with each other? General Yao, but please rest assured, if I eat something from Anqing border army in one bite, I will never pull down the border army in Lucheng."
"Thank you, General Yun. This kind of affection will be rewarded in the future!" Yao Meng said seriously.
Yun Zhao smiled faintly, "General Yao, I'm here today and I have important matters to discuss!"
"Please, please talk in the account!" Yao Meng reached out and Yun Zhao came here in person, of course, not to send two trucks of food, but what he called important matter was probably to reorganize his own army, right? Yao Meng thought in his heart that this was absolutely impossible. But what if Yun Zhao threatened himself with the loss of food?
Several people walked into the tent, and Yun Zhao said to Jiang Xu who was following him: "Go and guard the tent door. No one is allowed to approach within ten steps."
"Yes, General!" Jiang Xu responded in a buzzing voice, and stood outside the tent with his Modao.
Seeing Yun Zhao's behavior like this, Yao Meng and Ding Jian both looked heavy, only Wang Qiang smiled happily, "Uncle Yun, you have lost a little more weight." He greeted him affectionately.
Yun Zhao touched Wang Qiang's head and smiled and said, "It's better to be thinner. Be thinner and energetic!"
"General Yun, I wonder what's important about you coming here in person this time?" Yao Meng asked, then turned to look at Wang Qiang, "Wang Qiang, why don't you pour General Yun a cup of hot water?"
"Oh!" Wang Qiang quickly walked to the fire at the corner of the tent, picked up the copper jar, and poured hot water into a bamboo cup.
"General Yao, I wonder what your plans are for the future?" Yun Zhao asked.
As expected, Yao Meng said in his heart, looking at Yun Zhao, he said sincerely: "General Yun, I'm going to tell you, we will definitely not go back to the Sima family in Tanzhou. We want to stay in Anqing until the arrival of reinforcements. When we were in Tanzhou, we heard that the commander of the army was Mr. Feng. We are going to join him at that time. Mr. Feng is our old boss and will definitely take us in."
Yun Zhao took the hot water brought by Wang Qiang and took a sip carefully: "If you ask something inappropriately, don't be surprised, two, will General Feng forgive you?"
Yao Meng lowered his head sadly, and Ding Jian turned his head to the side. After a while, Yao Meng said, "We did something wrong, but in the end we did not defile the military flag of the Lucheng border army. The old general Feng was loyal and righteous, so he would definitely ignore the past and take us in."
"I believe in the loyalty of Old General Feng, but I'm afraid he will be too loyal and righteous!" Yun Zhao said slowly.
"What does General Yun mean?" Ding Jian turned his head to look at Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao took out a roll of paper from his arms, "A few days ago, I sent a detailed work to touch Huining. The streets and alleys of Huining were covered with these things. My people brought a few pictures back. Please take a closer look!"
Yao Meng looked at Yun Zhao for no reason, took it from him, spread it out and took a few glances, and his face changed drastically. Ding Jian, who was on the side, stood up suddenly, walked behind Yao Meng, and looked down at the announcement with the seal of the prefect.
"Bastard, turn black and white, pointing to a deer as a horse, Sima Ren, are you still a human being?" Ding Jian's face was pale, "If we hadn't been fighting for you in Fengkou to stop the Mongolian army, your Tanzhou army would have ended up being destroyed. Brother Yao, is this what we got? Is that?"
Yao Meng sat there blankly, and the announcement in his hand fell silently on the ground. It was Sima Ren announced the court's punishment for the border troops of Lucheng in the name of the prefect.
Yun Zhao was sitting quietly watching the two of them. Ding Jian jumped in the tent and cursed, while Yao Meng sat there silently, but his clenched fists made a cradle sound, showing his inner uneasiness.
Ding Jian jumped for a while and suddenly remembered something. He squatted down suddenly, picked up the announcement, looked at the lines of black words on it, and murmured: "Sin and family, sin and family." He raised his head and looked at Yun Zhao, "General Yun, what does this mean? Sin and family, what does this mean? You must know that since you sent someone to Huining, you must know how our family is doing now, right? Tell me, how are they doing?"
Yun Zhao sighed: "General Ding Jian, do you really want to know?"
"Of course I want to know." Ding Jian said anxiously.
"Your family is gone, your wife gave birth early because of this incident and died of dysfunction. Your father-in-law went crazy and her mother-in-law hanged herself. There was only one old servant begging on the streets of Huining with your newly born son." Yun Zhao said slowly and word by word.
Ding Jian shook his body, almost fell down, staring at Yun Zhao, "You lied to me!"
Yun Zhao did not answer him, looking at Yao Meng, "General Yao, I regret to tell you that your son was killed on the spot because he drew his sword when the Tanzhou soldiers refused to arrest him. Your wife died on the pillar. General Qu Lu's only son was taken to work as a coolie, and General Wang Zhuang's wife was sent to the sect to act as a military prostitute!"
Ding Jian screamed, pulled out the knife with a choke, turned around and rushed out.
"Jiang Xu, catch him!" Yun Zhao shouted.
Jiang Xu, who was outside the tent, stepped in, and opened his arms, hugged Ding Jian in the waist. Ding Jian struggled desperately: "Let go, let go, I want to kill Sima Ren, the turtle son, let go!"
Seeing that Jiang Xu had already controlled Ding Jian, Yun Zhao was a little worried about Yao Meng, who had not spoken so far.
"Retribution, retribution!" Yao Meng suddenly laughed bitterly. The hehe laughter not only scared Wang Qiang on the side, but even the semi-crazy Ding Jian was so scared that he stopped struggling.
"Brother Yao, Brother Yao, are you okay?" Ding Jian shouted loudly: "Let me go. Let me go!" Jiang Xu let go of his hand, Ding Jian rushed to Yao Meng and supported Yao Meng.
"Ding Jian, this is really retribution!" He opened his mouth and spurted out blood, and he fell to the sky!
The people in the tent pinched the people and poured hot water again, which finally woke Yao Meng, who had fainted from anger. Yao Meng, who had just recovered from injury, could withstand such a blow. He felt his whole body was sore and weak, and he had no strength. He turned his head and looked at Yun Zhao: "General Yun, since you have already investigated so clearly, you must have made some arrangements, right?"
Yun Zhao nodded, "Sometimes ago, I have sent Yan Xiaoyi to lead a team of elite troops to sneak into Huining to see if I can rescue your family. To be honest, I have no confidence at all. I can only do my best and leave my destiny!"
