Jinghong Building

Chapter 357 Three liters of vomiting blood

In order to find the third son of Jing, Duke Ding did not show up for seven days. If the world was peaceful, Lord Quan would like him to never come back, but it is not possible now. Ran’s army is unstoppable and is about to be unable to defend.

Although Lord Quan is good at playing power, he is a civil servant after all. When it comes to war, he is not even a paper talk. At most, he is criticizing the words.

Lord Quan was so anxious that the two people sent by the emperor, Lu Yuncheng, died and Qing'an Bo surrendered. Now not no one in the court has gone to war, but because of the emperor and Liu Shanhe, everyone in the court is in danger. Jinyiwei confiscated this house today and surrounded that house tomorrow. When Liu Shanhe was in power, everyone came to him. Now, let's settle it carefully. There were not many civil and military officials in the court who had nothing to do with him. Lord Quan’s daughter-in-law also had a handkerchief with a wife from the Liu family’s concubine.

Therefore, both civil officials and military generals are worried now, and no one wants to lead troops to fight, for fear that they will be liquidated as soon as they leave.

Originally, Duke Ding could lead his troops himself, but now Duke Ding was all focused on finding children, so the whole adult could not count on them.

In desperation, Lord Quan sent General Ding Wu, the Tiger Cavalry, to lead a 100,000 army to help Yangzhou.

Ding Wu, like Feng Zan, was recruited.

Feng Zan married the princess and became a general. He was entrusted with an important task and was able to lead his troops to attack the King of Jin.

Ding Wu did not have such good luck. Although everyone laughed at Feng Zan for marrying a princess who could be his mother as his wife, if he really gave this opportunity in front of him, how many people wouldn't want it?

For example, Ding Wu.

He was recruited for as long as he sat on the bench.

And he is always one step slower.

For example, when recruiting the amnesty, he was only half a year later than Feng Zan. Feng Zan married the princess, but when he arrived, there was no princess to marry.

For example, when moving the capital, the emperor left Wu'an Hou Lu Pingnan in the capital, giving only five or six thousand people, allowing him to hold back the Jin army and ensure that the emperor moves the capital smoothly.

At that time, many military generals volunteered to be the front guards and were willing to share life and death with the Marquis of Wu'an.

Someone found Ding Wu and asked him to volunteer together. Ding Wu thought about it but refused.

So Ding Wu moved south with his family and mobilized him to stay with Wu'an Hou.

Not only was the entire army not wiped out, but He Ran was also valued. Not to mention Wu'an Hou himself, even his son was already in a high position.

Ding Wu still knew about the military general who mobilized Ding Wu in the comic strip, he was already a third-rank military post.

It has been more than ten years since Ding Wu was recruited, but he is still a fourth-ranked person. He has not been promoted for more than ten years.

This time, Ding Wu volunteered, and he had missed two opportunities. This time, he didn't want to miss the opportunity again.

Lord Quan was not familiar with the generals. After he checked, he found that Ding Wu's resume was similar to Feng Zan. Now that the court was employed, Lord Quan immediately agreed.

If it were Duke Ding, Ding Wu would definitely not have led his troops. However, Duke Ding Wu is not here now, and Ding Wu volunteers again, so this is the matter.

Ding Wu was actually a little worried. He was worried about meeting Feng Zan. When everyone was a bandit, he fought with Feng Zan. Feng Zan was a mad dog and bit him when he saw someone. He instinctively didn't want to go with Feng Zan. Confronted.

Ding Wu breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that he was asked to rush to Yangzhou.

He Xiulong attacked Yangzhou.

Among the generals of the Ran Army, if we talk about fame, except for Fu Yansheng who surrendered later, it would be He Xiulong.

He Xiulong is so famous that even in Jiangnan, where she had never set foot in before, she is still a household name.

But in Ding Wu's view, it's just a sensationalism.

The reason why He Xiulong is famous is because she is a woman.

Things are precious because they are rare, so she is so famous.

There are many people who think like Ding Wu. After all, He Xiulong became famous in Jin. The Jin army fought with her. Feng Zan, who really fought against the imperial army. He Xiulong had never met the imperial army. Therefore, In the eyes of the general, He Xiulong was able to win a battle not because she was so powerful, but because the Jin army was vulnerable.

When these people said these words, they had forgotten who made the court frightened. Even the imperial city left by their ancestors had to be abandoned and ran to Jinling like a betrayal dog.

It's the Jin army!

It is the Jin army that they think is vulnerable now.

Finally, Ding Wu was in high spirits at this time. He felt that he did not underestimate He Xiulong, but he would not overestimate He Xiulong.

What a brave general, what a great general, just listen, don't take it seriously.

At the same time, He Xiulong also received news that Ding Wu led his army to help.

While marching, He Xiulong used the time to play the lead to convene an emergency meeting between the combat team.

Just like the five-man group that He Ran lent to Zhou Cangyue, every general now has his own combat team, and no one believes it. The first person to form the combat team was not He Xiulong, but Feng Zan.

Nie Chen was ordered to recruit Feng Zan and then stayed in Feng Zan's army for half a year. After Nie Chen left, Feng Zan felt that his IQ was not enough.

He wrote a letter to Nie Chen, asking Nie Chen to come back and continue to be a military advisor for him. Nie Chen did not come back, but sent him a team of ten people. After several years of running-in, these ten people have now cooperated with Feng Zan. Indivisible.

He Xiulong's group was formed at the same time. At that time, the officials who took the exam came to the army for internship. He Xiulong picked a few of them, constantly running in, increasing and decreasing, and finally fixed them to the current five people.

He Xiulong told everyone that the court sent Ding Wu to help. She had never heard of this person before. Do any of you know him?

A young girl who looked a little dull raised her hand silently: "I know him."

As he said that, the girl took out a thick booklet from the big backpack on her back, turned on one of the pages and read it aloud.

This is Ding Wu's life and several battles he has participated in.

After reading it, the girl slowly stuffed the booklet back into her backpack.

This big backpack was issued to various armies before the southward journey. It is very suitable to use this carrying document during the march.

He Xiulong was obviously very satisfied. She nodded and said, "The last battle Ding Wu participated in was twelve years ago, which means that he had not led troops for a full twelve years, but we cannot slacken in slackness. Think about it carefully, what made a person who has not led a soldier for twelve years volunteer?”

A young man in his twenties said, "It's a belief. He wants to give himself a chance, otherwise he will become General Feng's comparison group."

The previously dull girl nodded: "This is also his last chance, and he will try his best."

He Xiulong dipped his fingers into tea and simply drew a city on the table. Everyone had already remembered the offensive and defensive facilities of Yangzhou Prefecture. He knew at a glance that this was Yangzhou City.

He Xiulong pointed to a place: "Now Ding Wu's army is here. In three days, they will be here. This is also the most suitable place to intercept us."

At this time, Duke Ding of Jinling finally returned to the court. In the past few days, he had almost dug three feet of Jinling City, but he had not even found Jing Laosan's hair.

As early as the day when Duke Ding forced the palace, in order to prevent the emperor and Liu Shanhe from entering the city, he had ordered martial law. Until now, the gates of Jinling City are still closed, and they cannot enter or exit, even if officials from the court enter and exit the city. The door must also be registered.

In other words, the person who kidnapped Jing Laosan had no chance to escape from the city.

Therefore, Dingguo recognized that Jing Laosan was still in Jinling. Of course, he did not find Yuan Mengzhi.

Yuan Mengzhi hired a child to deliver a letter to Jing Laosan. Although he didn't know who made an appointment with Jing Laosan, he could follow the clues when he found the child who delivered the letter.

But I found a bunch of children and asked the servant to identify them one by one. I also mistakenly recognized two of them, but in the end I was not all.

Yan'an Bo waived Yuan Mengzhi's seal money borrowed. Yuan Mengzhi didn't have to pay back the bill. He was ecstatic and had a trend of literary thoughts. In just a few days, he composed a new drama and brought two beautiful concubines to the mansion to arrange the drama, but the door was not out of two. The door is not enough. As for the child who delivered the letter, Yuan Mengzhi has adopted it and can just play a role in the play.

Duke Dingguo could not dig Yuan Mengzhi's house even if he dig three feet into the ground. As for that child, he now painted ink paste every day, even if the Duke's mansion came, he could not recognize him.

As for Yan'an, he was still whispering, very brave and fierce.

What? You said I took the son of Duke Ding?

What a joke, I am so good with Duke Ding, how could I do such a thing?

Duke Ding never dreamed that he thought that the iron wall and wings could not fly. In the eyes of the Beggars' Sect, would he want to leave the city? That's not easy.

Cats have cat paths, dogs have dog paths, and beggars have their own paths.

The city gate was closed, but Zhou Cangyue could come and go freely.

In just a few days, Duke Ding's temples had been dyed with silver stars.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

When Duke Ding learned that Lord Quan had sent Ding Wu to help Yangzhou, Duke Ding was frowning.

It’s not that Ding Wu is not good, but he has been idle for too long.

Iron tools have been idle for a long time, and they have to apply oil when they need to be used, even worse.

It’s not impossible for Ding Wu to go to war, but he can’t be the head coach.

Ding Guogong said, "Ding Wu, at most he will be a deputy general and let him lead the troops. This is nonsense."

Even though Lord Quan had already lost his emotions, his eyes were also dark. Obviously, these words from Duke Ding were very uncomfortable to hear.

I am a civil servant, and the military generals in the court cannot be controlled at all. Finally, someone volunteered. I saw that his resume was also good, so I sent him out.

You don't care about anything and just act as a hand-off manager, but now you are sarcastic. Are you afraid that I will take away your power?

Lord Quan did not hide his emotions, so he shook his face on the spot.

Duke Ding felt a little regretful. The reason why he cooperated with Lord Quan was because he was unwilling to deal with those civil servants. He killed Liu Shanhe, and the mess left by Liu Shanhe could only be solved by civil servants.

Therefore, Duke Ding must cooperate with Lord Quan, after all, Lord Quan and Liu Shanhe are political enemies.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, uniting all forces that can be united.

Within at least two or three years, Duke Ding did not want to offend Lord Quan severely.

He apologized to Lord Quan. Lord Quan had a lot of them, but he didn't remember them in his heart, but asked him what to do next.

Dingguo Duke pondered for a while: "He Ran sent He Xiulong to attack Yangzhou Prefecture. Don't underestimate He Xiulong. At a young age, he has experienced many battles, and has more victory than defeats. With her record, she is enough to beat 90% of the generals in the court. , such a person, let alone Ding Wu, is not her opponent even if he has three or four."

The eyes of the adults were red: "Can we all die in Yangzhou?"

Duke Ding closed his eyes and when he opened it again, he had already made up his mind: "I'll go there myself."

Lord Quan was secretly happy, but his face was not revealed, and he said something about what to do if you left the court.

In the end, Duke Ding led another 50,000 troops to Yangzhou.

The news that Duke Ding personally led his troops to show off against He Xiulong almost overnight spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Some people even secretly hope that the news will reach the capital soon, so that the painter He Yamin would release a new comic strip overnight.

After receiving the news, He Xiulong's vanguard troops immediately delivered the news to He Xiulong.

He Xiulong picked up the corner of his mouth, OK, let's compete on the battlefield.

In Xuzhou, He Ran also received news that Dingguo Duke personally led his troops to help Yangzhou.

Xiaoli was worried: "Duke Ding fought against the Tartars and climbed out of the dead, unlike other second-generation ancestors."

Although He Xiulong is experienced in many battles, she is too young compared to Duke Ding.

A female general in her early twenties is in her prime and energetic, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage on the battlefield.

Xiaoli’s concerns are not the same as He Ran. This time she went south, she walked with He Xiulong for more than a month, and she has been silently observing He Xiulong.

Since He Xiulong and Fu Yansheng replaced the defense, He Xiulong stationed in Sanhe. For a whole year, He Xiulong has been training troops in Sanhe, occasionally going to the mountains to suppress bandits and train in actual combat.

He Ran gave He Xiulong plenty of time and a superior environment, allowing her to settle down and achieve a better self and a more sophisticated army.

He Xiulong did not disappoint He Ran. She gave He Ran a refreshing feeling. Compared to the iron-blooded general who was invincible on the battlefield in Jin Dynasty, He Xiulong is now familiar with military books and calm and restrained. She showed outstanding command skills. No less than any military general who has been famous for many years.

He Ran has confidence in her.

He Ran is also confident of this, such as the right time, the right place, and the harmonious people.

But He Ran feels that people will always encounter some ups and downs in their lives. This is the case with the young He Xiulong, and of course the older Duke Dingguo should do so.

He Ran was also worried about the enemy of Duke Dingguo.

So Duke Ding, who was marching quickly to Yangzhou, finally received news from Jing Laosan.

Jing Laosan was actually captured by Zhou Cangyue.

Jing Laosan, who had been hiding like a treasure for more than ten years, was being tortured by Zhou Cangyue in a small dark room!

He Ran felt sorry for his old father, so he deliberately found a **** ear and threw it in front of him.

As for whom this ear belongs to, it is not Jing Laosan anyway.

But Duke Ding didn't know.

Duke Ding just learned about Jing Laosan's situation and was anxious. When he saw that ear again, he could no longer control it and vomited a mouthful of blood.
