Xu Yunyan led the Xuanwu Gate defenders to kill in the mountains around Tongguan with great momentum, and several generals who were defeated by Xu Yunyan in the capital gathered together.
"How about we gather our troops and go to the disaster-stricken place?"
"Cheng Yaojin, don't be ridiculous. We have no orders and send out troops at will. That is a taboo for military strategists."
Cheng Yaojin didn't buy it anymore and muttered.
"Although it is natural for us to be soldiers and get paid, isn't it the money we spend on the people's support? Now they are affected by the disaster. We didn't think of sending out the army to rescue them before, but now Xu Yunyan has such a good suggestion. Open roads across mountains and build bridges over rivers. This This is what we should do, wouldn’t it allow them to get out of their current predicament better?”
What Cheng Yaojin said made sense and was in line with the actual situation, but other people always felt powerless when looking at him.
But just when they felt powerless here, Chai Shao stood up from his seat.
"General Cheng, what you said makes sense. How about I go see His Majesty and see if we can arrange for us to dispatch. But there will be no surprises after we dispatch. We are the Sixteenth Guards guarding the capital and guarding the Tang Dynasty. If it is true If something goes wrong, we will be blamed for everything."
As soon as Chai Shao finished speaking, Hou Junji said: "What General Chai said is true, but it is always a bit unstable if we don't use manpower. Otherwise, we might as well use some of our manpower to go to the disaster area like the Xuanwu Sect."
We generals can also draw one or two. If we really can't draw generals, let them go to the disaster area and follow Xu Yunyan's arrangements. I guess Xu Yunyan can shout such slogans, and he must have some calculations in his heart. "
Hou Junji worked hard to establish a good image for Xu Yunyan here, but among the generals of the Sixteenth Guards, who was easy to do?
Everyone knew what Hou Junji was doing, and the issue reached a deadlock again.
However, Qin Qiong changed the subject: "Then I will go and ask Your Majesty to arrange it. It will be just and fair."
This sentence makes it reasonable and reasonable whether it has ulterior motives or is really for the country and the people. "
Regardless of the fact that there were no new orders from Chang'an City, Xu Yunyan continued to lead his soldiers towards Tongguan quickly.
They traveled day and night and slept in the open air. Two days later, the Xuanwu Gate defenders finally arrived at the disaster site.
Seeing the landslide blocking the road, Xu Yunyan stopped the marching team, pointed to the road ahead and gave an impassioned speech. Xu Yunyan arranged for the troops to take turns to rest, and the rest began to clean up the landslide.
As for Xu Yunyan? Instead of resting, he rushed to the location of the landslide and was busy with his hands and feet with the soldiers who took turns clearing the landslide.
Xu Yunyan didn't even rest. How could the other soldiers have the heart to rest? Looking at Xu Yunyan who was busy there, he spontaneously came to Xu Yunyan's side.
"General, please rest. You haven't slept for two days. You must not fall down when you go on such an expedition for rescue. If you fall down, what we do may not be as beautiful as you arranged."
Xu Yunyan shook his head, "It's not that I have been holding on here, but the disaster is like a fire. How can I not be anxious?"
"General! One more of you in this scene is not more, and one less of you is not more. If you fall, we really may not be able to do as well as you asked for."
Liu Xiaopeng kept persuading him, and others were also persuading him, just to let him rest more.
However, their persuasion had no effect, and Xu Yunyan still did whatever he needed to do there.
Fortunately, the landslide in this first section was not long, and it took most of a day to clear it, and the entire army moved forward again.
After passing through this section of landslide, there were some sporadic obstacles blocking the road caused by the earthquake. Whether it was a fallen giant tree or a deep ravine, it was simply in front of the elite soldiers of the Xuanwu Gate defenders. It is not a problem that affects their progress, but a good platform for them to show their excellent training style.
Group after group of clans marched quickly on the rugged road, and finally appeared on the outskirts of the disaster area in the early morning of a new day.
Standing on the top of a mountain, looking at the ruined villages and towns ahead, Xu Yunyan's heart was bleeding.
This is a person who has no way to cope with the disaster and must grit his teeth to endure the suffering of life.
I don't know why Xu Yunyan suddenly waved his hand to stop the soldiers who were trying to rush to the rescue, and spoke loudly to them.
"Soldiers, you see, this is what we are protecting. They provide us with military pay and food, and now it is time for us to protect them.
Although we are not related to them, no one can guarantee that if we are hit by a disaster this time, such a situation will not happen in our hometown next time.
I just want to have such a Tang army when such a situation occurs in our hometown, and such a pair of enthusiastic soldiers to help them and rebuild their homes. I don’t want to leave a name in the history of Qing Dynasty, but just want to get this military salary. It goes smoothly, and the food and grass are safe to eat. "
Although what Xu Yunyan said was not very nice, it was still true. The guards nodded hurriedly.
"The general is right!"
The last swarm followed Xu Yunyan and rushed to the nearest village, where the living people were busy building simple shacks, looking for some food to eat, and burying the fellow villagers who died accidentally in the earthquake.
Just when they felt that their power was insignificant and there were still many living people who were trapped under the rubble and could not be rescued, someone suddenly turned to look at the horizon.
"There's someone there!
somebody is coming? Are you here to help us? "
As soon as he said this, he attracted the attention of others.
The others turned to look in the direction where they first noticed someone rushing towards them, and followed his command.
"Tang Jun? Why did Tang Jun come here?"
Suddenly some terrible thoughts appeared in their minds. Every major disaster is followed by a major epidemic. Are they here to block the venue?
But just as they were thinking this, they saw these Tang soldiers rushing towards them and placing their swords, guns, swords and halberds casually beside them, setting up weapon racks one after another. Then he quickly rushed to Jinqian, where he helped them clear the ruins and build houses.
Seeing this, these people cried.
"This... how can this happen? Master! How can we be so virtuous? How can we expect the labor soldier to work so hard for us?"
A living old man in the village spoke there with tears in his eyes.
It's just that when the old man said this with a bit of sincerity and didn't know how to show his kindness, Xu Yunyan came to his side.
But the old man still had some sense and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "General!"
After the ceremony, he waited for Xu Yunyan's order, but Xu Yunyan said with a smile.
"Why should this old man be like this! We are junior soldiers, we may not be his children, but what does this have to do with us?
Which of us are not older and younger? Maybe someone can get involved with the old man and establish a relationship. Can't you let me wait and help the old man get out of the predicament at hand? "
