"Who are you?"
The soldiers at the city gate asked loudly.
The leading cavalry shouted directly, "We are people from Wandu Mountain City. We have something urgent to ask to see the domestic city of Lisa. We hope to report it."
In this era, there was no such position as scholar-officials, it was just people's acquiescence. Of course, the name of scholar-officials in Goguryeo was also given by Yang Qian, and they did not have such a name here.
Generally, someone in the family holds a relatively good official position. As time goes by, some people are dismissed, some are demoted without the chance of being re-elected, and some simply die.
The families of scholar-bureaucrats will also become poor due to these subjective factors.
Moreover, there is no household registration system in Goguryeo, and people generally rely on some identity documents.
The leading guard took out a jade pendant and handed it to the soldier. The soldier took it, looked at it, and waved behind him.
In an instant, the drums beat loudly, and hundreds of soldiers poured out of the city and aimed their halberds at the convoy.
On the city wall, rows of soldiers held javelins and stared at the convoy, as if if the opponent made any movement, what awaited them would be the penetrating damage of the javelins.
The war horses neighed, but the guards did not dare to make any move at this time. There were only a few dozen of them, and the war horses were at a standstill. If they really moved around and were misunderstood, a few lives would not be enough to kill them.
However, the leading guard had seen the world, and a chill came to his forehead.
"No, the inner city has also fallen!"
The guard shouted at the top of his lungs, but in response, two javelins were inserted into his chest, piercing his entire body. Even because of the angle, the war horse was injured.
A general walked out of the city, checked the situation, pulled out the quail-like people in each carriage, and compared them carefully, then said to the soldiers next to him.
"Go and inform the people of Tianshou Division that a family that escaped has been found."
"promise!"
Not long after, Ran Jing received a message that someone in the inner city had thrown himself into a trap.
But Ran Jing's face didn't look much better. No matter how many people ran away, there was only one person who was not caught, and that was the risk of exposure.
What's more, there is another family that has not been found, not seen in Wandu Mountain City, not in Inner City, not in Weina, and not in Iwa City.
There are only two results. One is that this group of people is still in the wild, and the other is that this group of people has arrived at Heshenggu City.
If it is the second result, then the problem is really big.
Ran Jing frowned and thought hard, but still couldn't get the answer he wanted. He had no choice but to use rough methods and sent out scouts to keep searching. However, the land here was too vast. Hundreds of scouts went out, but not even a ripple was made.
"Give the order, in units of ten thousand people, thirty thousand people will set off from Heshenggu City. They will hide on the spot and build ladders within fifty miles of the opponent."
"promise!"
One of his subordinates' eyes widened. These Yang Gan assigned to Ran Jing's Xuanjia Army.
The Xuanjia Army was the elite of the elite, and Yang Qian wasted no time in throwing money and food at the expense of only 50,000 soldiers.
These 50,000 people are professional soldiers, the kind who are out of work. The food they feed alone can feed several counties every year, not to mention the war horses to feed.
If it hadn't been for the fact that armored weapons were already being manufactured on an assembly line, reducing a lot of costs, Yang Qian might have been vomiting blood by now.
The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army came to the military camp and reported it to the generals. Those who knew about it all showed strange expressions.
Because since the establishment of the Xuanjia Army, they have fought in all kinds of battles, even sat on battleships, and many of the Xuanjia Army have even learned to swim.
But the Xuanjia Army has never fought a siege battle, at least so far. Wu Anjun has never been defeated in a battle, and at least so far, even the king has never fought a siege battle.
This made all the Xuanjia Army soldiers here excited. It was their first time to fight a siege. This was a new experience and a new attempt.
There was a "bang" sound.
Ran Jing, who was in Jiashi City, felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
Fei Lian next to him was startled. Looking at the soldiers beside him, he roared angrily.
"You are looking for death. Go and find a doctor for me."
The soldiers were stunned and immediately went to look for the doctor. When the doctor arrived, Fei Lian asked hurriedly.
"Who else knows about General Ran's fainting?"
A hundred people said, "No one knows."
Fei Lian said, "No one can tell anyone what happened today, do you understand?"
Several soldiers looked at each other, nodded, and said, "General, we are from the Polu Army, so we still know military discipline."
Fei Lian nodded, but still solemnly warned them that the current situation is unstable, who knows what will happen.
"Go and call Jinghuai. Gu Weiqi will come to see me."
"promise!"
Seeing the two doctors checking his pulse, Fei Lian hurriedly asked, "Doctor, what do you say?"
The doctor frowned and said, "General Ran thinks too much and becomes ill with worry."
Another doctor hesitated and asked, "I wonder, has General Ran been injured recently?"
Fei Lian said flatly, "It's impossible. I'll be guarding him day and night. If he was injured, I would have called you over."
The doctor sighed and said, "In addition to overthinking, General Ran also suffered from loss of Qi and blood. There must have been blood loss during this period, otherwise a man would lose Qi and blood to such an extent."
Fei Lian said with a headache on his face, "Then you go get some medicine. By the way, this matter..."
The doctor said directly, "Don't worry, we will not reveal a word about today's matter. We still understand military discipline."
Fei Lian nodded and motioned for everyone to go about their business.
Not long after, a sturdy figure walked in, cupped his hands at Fei Lian and smiled.
"Brother Feilian, are you looking for me for something?"
Fei Lian does not have an official position, and everyone generally treats him as a brother, but whoever wants to use his official position to suppress others, believe it or not, Fei Lian will have an official position the next day, and he will be higher than everyone else.
Fei Lian frowned and said, "Where is Gu Weiqi?"
"He is not in Jiashi City, but in Wandu Mountain City. General Ran is afraid that General Zhu will not be able to deal with it alone."
Fei Lian nodded and took Jing Huai into the bedroom, where he saw Ran Jing sleeping on the bed with a pale face.
Jing Huai was shocked and said, "What, what is going on?"
Fei Lian told the story.
"General Jing, what you have to do now is to pacify the army and make sure nothing goes wrong. By the way, can you command the army? I heard from Ran Jing that an army of tens of thousands of people is setting off. As for where to go, I don't know much about it. clear."
The corners of Jing Huai's mouth twitched fiercely and he smiled bitterly.
"Brother Feilian, you are not a member of the army, so it is reasonable to not know. To mobilize our army, we need your command from the king. The general has neither the power to command nor the power to mobilize troops."
"General Ran is the only one with the power to mobilize troops, but, but..."
As he spoke, he glanced at the unconscious Ran Jing and let out a long sigh, then stepped forward and prepared to take off his armor.
Suddenly, Fei Lian blocked him and frowned, "What are you doing?"
Jing Huai asked curiously, "General Ran has worked so hard, so he naturally needs to disarm, otherwise how uncomfortable would it be to fall asleep?"
Fei Lian shook his head and said, "General Ran said that no matter when and where, no matter whether he is injured or not, he will never disarm himself."
Jing Huai was stunned for a moment and suddenly thought that General Ran was a person with quirks just like Your Majesty. He was relieved when he thought of this.
He walked around and said, "Well, let me go to the army to take charge. Brother Fei Lian, you should find a way to inform your Majesty. Again, without your Majesty's nod, I can only allocate fifty people in the army." "
Jinghuai had already seen that military generals and their like had great power in other places.
But in the frontier army, if you, a general, overstep your bounds, someone will definitely come to persuade you. If you still don't listen, your Majesty will receive the message immediately.
Seriously, it is not impossible to be directly pinned to the ground and tied up by his subordinates. Of course, among these subordinates, there must be Amagariji.
After the two separated, Fei Lian immediately ran to the small room next to him and saw an ordinary-looking man sitting in front of the phone and reading a book.
The other man was fast asleep on the bed.
When the man saw someone coming, he immediately stood up and said in surprise, "Master Fei Lian?"
"Quickly, contact your Majesty, General Ran is unconscious."
"What?"
The people in Tianshou Division were also confused. Was it so sudden?
Fei Lian said hurriedly, "You haven't contacted me yet?"
The man from Tianshou Division frowned, cupped his hands and said, "I want to see General Ran."
"Asshole, you don't believe what I say?"
"Sorry, Lord Fei Lian, this is a rule. I have to see General Ran. This is a rule. If I break the rule, not only will I be held accountable, but my superior will also be held accountable. Lord Fei Lian will not be able to escape." Disconnected."
Fei Lian had no choice but to take the Tianshousi people to the bedroom, and after confirming that Ran Jing was really unconscious.
The people from Amagari Division asked some questions, and then recorded them in their portable books. They quickly came to the room and started to connect.
Yang Qian, who was thousands of miles away, was standing in the hall at this time. Zhang Yumeng dressed Yang Qian, and Yi Lingxue combed Yang Qian's hair and applied some hair oil with her hands, but Yang Qian pushed him away in disgust.
"Yi Lingxue, don't use hair oil next time. I don't like this stuff."
Yang Qian would rather have dry hair than greasy hair.
"Zhang Yumeng, when will you get a hair dryer? It takes half a day to do your hair every day."
Yang Qian said a little depressed.
Long hair is also the reason why people in ancient times seldom washed their hair. After all, every time they wash their hair, they dry it completely, which is impossible in less than half a day.
Do you know how troublesome it was to wash your hair once in ancient times?
Moreover, the hair washing method of the scholar-bureaucrat family is even more disgusting, and the process steps are complicated.
According to the rules of scholar-bureaucrats' families, before washing their hair, qualified families will clean the bathroom, light lamps and incense to create a romantic bathing environment, then prepare various toiletries, and then pour shampoo - Taomi water.
Even though rice water is ordinary, it can make your hair black and shiny. Even Empress Dowager Dou of the Western Han Dynasty praised it for using it.
Of course, there are many other choices, such as saponaria, tea leaves, plant ash, etc.
Some people died, but not completely...
