So far, the lay people who fled the nunnery have never been inside the camp outside the Luzhou barrier.
In fact, since meeting the sick scholar Huang Fuchao last time, the layman who escaped from the nunnery felt that this person had his own pitiable qualities. Therefore, the desperate tactics that could be seen everywhere in the war were still vicious, but they were equally vicious to this scholar. After taking a closer look, I realized that although the past incident could not be called a reason to do evil at all, it was actually not as contradictory as before.
Speaking of which, Yan Qiye must be blamed for this matter. Everyone in the Xumeng Mansion knew that the lay people in the nunnery were full of economic ideas, whether it was to wait for the weather to prepare for war or to manage farming, or to govern the people for raising crops. There is no one who is not skilled in fighting. There is even a saying in Xu Meng's mansion. If Huang Fuchao is in front and Yuan is behind, then the world can be settled. Although it is said in a loud tone, one can also see that this person has an unattractive appearance and a sharp forehead. There are some ugly scholars who are as ugly as malignant sores. They are not only proficient in fortune-telling and stargazing, but also have good strategies. Even if they are not necessarily talented, they are still rare talents in the world.
It was probably because there were two of them, one taking charge of the front line of the army, and the other taking charge of maintaining the stability of the rear, that the Xu Meng Mansion was able to see many chances of victory in the early years of the war.
However, everything is slightly different, and sometimes it is a thousand miles wrong. If the chance of victory is lost, at least it will lead to a decisive victory, but at worst, the whole game will be lost.
Under such circumstances, how could Yan Qiye allow this nunnery layman who was most popular with him to have even a moment of leisure, even if he had to eat delicacies every day, and often rewarded old medicines, and asked people to bring all kinds of medicines? The rare object almost put the layman in the nunnery under house arrest in the Zhenyue Mansion in the middle of the Eastern Territory of the Great Yuan Dynasty. Every day, all the paperwork flying like snow flakes fell on the shoulders of the layman in the nunnery, so as to overwhelm this already full body. There was not much meat on his upper and lower body, and he looked even more scrawny than a scholar. Even though the latter was so angry that his teeth were itching, he still had no choice but to do his best to Yan Qiye. After the defeat at Wufeng Mountain, he finally defeated half of the Great Yuan Dynasty in the East. After the country settled down, of course many people still complained, but it was much better than at the beginning.
The layman who escaped from the nunnery, who also spent so much effort, seems to have suddenly deteriorated. He eats sparsely and sleeps little. He only eats half a bowl of rice in a hurry every day. He is not an accomplished practitioner. Naturally, his body is getting worse every day. Today, even in Zhenyue Mansion, there are many people with unparalleled talents who can share some political affairs for him, but in such a situation, it is just a drop in the bucket. The shortcomings of the territory under the jurisdiction of Xumeng Mansion are not that the tribes' cavalry are good at fighting, but that there are many tribes that have not escaped from the wilderness on the east road, and in comparison, the number of people engaged in farming is less than that of the main account. The number of common people in Wang Ting's hands accounted for half of the country, and with the rugged mountains rising one after another, money and food were undoubtedly at a disadvantage.
Moreover, because of the successive conquests, which can be described as militaristic actions, some people in the eastern border of the Great Yuan Dynasty were even more destitute. The money and food used to maintain the army outside the Luzhou barrier suddenly shrunk, and it was even to the point of being completely exhausted. This is what a discerning person can see. of urgent need.
The current commander-in-chief of the Royal Court, who is young but not necessarily less calculating than others, also takes a fancy to the weakness of the Xu Meng Mansion. He has tens of thousands of dollars and grains for the war, not to mention that the number of soldiers and horses in the original tribe is quite redundant. However, no one dares to remove it easily. It is not a long-term strategy for the already weak Eastern Territory to bear such a heavy mountain. In addition, the Zhengzhang Royal Court now firmly holds the Luzhou barrier, but The troops and cavalry of Xumeng Mansion are not allowed to cross the Luzhou barrier. The cavalry can easily reach tens of thousands and will undoubtedly overwhelm the Eastern Territory of the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, the word delay chosen by Wen Yu hit the point most.
In recent months, the lay people in the nunnery have been exposed to four bright characters all over their bodies, and they are tired of dealing with them.
But now it feels a lot better. Even if I don’t know whether this sudden turn of events is a disaster or a rare blessing, since I can put out the fire, I don’t care where the water comes from. It is also rare for the lay people in the nunnery to breathe a sigh of relief. If they really endure it like this, they may come back for another year and a half, and they may still owe the Lord of Hell a few years of life.
No one would have guessed that the first place the fuan layman who left Zhenyue Mansion on horseback would be was the forward military formation not far from the Luzhou Barrier.
Huang Fuchao's tent is located in a low-lying valley. Heavy snowfall has not stopped for many days, and the valley has been almost filled up. Even if the soldiers under the tent have been clearing away the snow for days, there is only a pole left.
Both sides of the narrow passage were covered with snow that was as tall as a person. It had been completely frozen under the freezing cold for days and became solid. It became even more crystal clear under the light of the torches along the road. Naturally, someone in the army recognized this ugly scholar because his facial features and peach blossom sores on his forehead were really eye-catching. Therefore, after the layman in the nunnery dismounted his horse for a moment, someone came forward to introduce him to him.
There is no doubt that the layman who came to the nunnery without warning in advance was almost split in two by a bright sword light, and then his shoulders were twisted by Lan Xi, who had been following Huang Fuchao all year round. He was only two or three breaths away. For a while, the layman who escaped from the nunnery always felt that if it was too late, the shoulders that had been sitting at his desk for several months would be torn off by the roots. Fortunately, Huang Fuchao still has some conscience, otherwise with the strength of Chou Lishu, it would be very close to him even if he were not in human form.
"I'm also worried that Brother Huang lives at the bottom of this low-lying valley. If he is attacked and cannot be rescued, it would be better to move to another handsome tent. Now it seems that all the worries are in vain." When the layman of the escape monastery bared his teeth, he slowly twisted his shoulders. At that time, Huang Fuchao just walked out in his clothes, his body was steaming with heat and his hair was wet. After sitting down and hearing these words, he shook his head and smiled, his face looked much better than before.
"Come on, Lan Xi does have some skills. But beware of the huge army. What's the use of a woman? It's probably quite difficult to survive for a cup of tea." Huang Fuchao pointed to the flanker outside the handsome tent, his expression and words were indifferent. Feeling that he was a layman in the nunnery, "There are several practitioners sitting there. Although the two armies are currently fighting and the people on the mountain are not allowed to intervene, there must always be means to deal with emergencies. To the west of the valley, there are tens of thousands of people. It is safest to have several soldiers and horses to guard the base. Besides, I have six branches in this handsome tent. Although it is expected that Wen Yu is determined not to go out of the barrier to fight, he still has the ability to protect himself, but it is a pity that there are some Things have changed since Wufeng Mountain, so I have to follow the path of others."
During this meeting, within a few words, the monk who escaped from the nunnery was surprised to find that the scholar's complexion was much more ruddy, and he was more confident when he spoke. He was very different from the previous meeting. His body and bones looked much sharper, so he was naturally a little suspicious. , but immediately felt relieved. After all, if the scholar is here for one more day, the sharp edge of the Xu Meng Mansion will definitely not be blunted much.
"There is some chalcedony in this mountain, as if it was warmed by the hot fire in the earth's veins. It has not dissipated for many years and has been tightly sealed under the commander's tent here. Lan Xi does not know what means he used to take out this square mountain stone. Supplemented by soaking in the mountain spring all day long, I can barely keep my life alive again and again. It is most helpful for cold illnesses, so now I can sit together with lay people and chat."
Many people probably have no way of knowing, and even the lay people who escaped from the nunnery only guessed that this maid, who had never been known to anyone and only held the yellow dragon and green bird flag beside the sick scholar, probably had some skills to get close to her, but she never thought that there was such a thing. He used some tactics, so he hurriedly scanned Lan Xi's face for a moment, but the latter suddenly had a sharp look on his eyebrows. At that moment, the layman who had just almost suffered a big loss coughed twice and did not dare to violate the rules again.
During this trip, both of them actually knew what was going on, but they just couldn't get straight to the point. Moreover, the scholar's condition had improved slightly, and the layman who escaped from the nunnery didn't know whether to talk about it or not, so the two of them just had nothing to do. During the exchange of greetings, the scholar in charge of the Xu Meng Mansion's reserves and handling of government affairs asked the scholar about the recent changes in the situation in the Luzhou fortress. The scholar who commanded half of the country's iron-heeled troops asked the scholar whether the supply of money and food had been in short supply recently. Maybe it sounded strange at first glance. The next two people each perform their own duties, but in fact they have reached the same goal by different routes. They are just trying to obtain the entire Yuan Dynasty for the Xumeng Mansion.
In just a few words, Huang Fuchao learned about a major event not long ago. Someone from the Eastern Islands came across the East China Sea and brought more than ten turtle boats to ask for an audience with Yan Qiye. The order of the pavilion came to help the Xu Meng Mansion. Countless amounts of money and food were transported by more than ten turtle ships. It was at this most critical juncture that it alleviated the urgent needs of the Xu Meng Mansion, thus making the Great Yuan East Territory A slight improvement may not necessarily last for months and years, but no matter how you look at it, it will be stable until next summer, and it will be the same as coming back from the dead.
There is no need to explain the meaning behind it. This is the advantage of talking to smart people.
"Although the Xumeng Mansion has a strong military force, both in terms of number and bravery, they are all superior to the royal court. However, it is a pity that there are less than three households in the east to raise one soldier. There are tens of thousands of cavalry at every turn. The money and food required for the troops and horses, looking at the whole world, Probably there has never been a king
The court is so generous, not to mention that there is no chance of fighting. If the royal court really wants to remain at a stalemate here, I am afraid that even if the weather is good in the coming year and people are forced to farm, there will still be scenes of starvation and insufficient food. "
"He Han of the Royal Court probably doesn't want to see such a scene. Naturally, it would be best to obtain a strong and prosperous Yuan Dynasty instead of a weak and miserable scene. Thinking about it, he is also eager to try it now, but he really wants to do this. If this continues, the Xumeng Mansion will no longer be a match for the royal court."
The scholar just smiled, as if he didn't want to start a fight at all. He squinted his eyes and looked at the endless wind and snow outside the commander's tent, which actually stopped the commander's flag from flying.
For example, the rise and fall of a place may not be possible in a single thought, but the thought turns over and over again like walking on thin ice, and it seems that no matter what you do, it will be wrong.
