"I didn't expect you to have such a tender moment in the middle of your life, I thought I was wrong!" Yan Li teased.
"There are many things that I don't want to do, but I have to. He can't do what he wants, let alone me, an ordinary person." Yan Li also felt the desolation in the words. They are the same kind of people, a kind of people who have been abandoned by fate!
"Auntie, this is for you." The little boy ran back again, put the rabbit lamp into Rong Changan's hand, and hurried back. From afar, he saw his parents waving to her.
Even in the capital city, the Lantern Festival is very lively, and it was already late when they returned to the inn.
The next day, when the group was about to leave, they found that Yan Li was missing. Rong Changan sent guards to see what was going on.
After a while the guard came back, "General, he is sick and very hot. Shall I go to a doctor?"
"go quickly!"
Yan Li rarely got sick, but this time he was seriously ill, with a persistent high fever. The doctor changed the medicine three times, and finally the fever subsided on the afternoon of the third day, but Yan Li's pale face showed that he had just recovered from a serious illness and was very weak.
"General, I'm fine, I can go!" Rong Changan looked at Yan Li's expression, worried about his body.
"Yan Yushi, take a good rest. Let's start after you recover."
"I'm really fine. I'm in good health." It implies that he has martial arts in his body, and the wind and cold are ready to go.
Rong Changan hesitated for a while, "Let's go tomorrow, and you should rest well today." Yan Li insisted, she was also eager to know the situation of Tongguan City, so she decided to set off the next day.
A few days later, Rong Changan and her deputy Song Qiang arrived at Tongguan City at the same time, and saw the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere. The bustling city in the past is now full of chaos. There were corpses everywhere, men, women, old people and children, and some severed limbs belonged to no one knew, and more seriously, the contents of the stomach were spilled all over the place, which was horrible.
Yan Li's identity is quite special, and he has seen many fights on the battlefield, but he was still shocked by the tragedy in this city. The destruction of the country and the destruction of the city, the calamity of massacring the city, is nothing more than that!
Rong Changan and her subordinates were very sad. She and the people they defended desperately were slaughtered mercilessly in this way. What a heart of iron and blood! They don't treat people as human beings at all, they are not as good as animals! Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, she must teach the enemy a lesson that she will never forget in her life, and come to condolences to these dead heroic spirits.
A few days ago, they were still looking at the warm picture of Fanghe Deng's family reunited to live and work in peace and contentment. What they saw today was a hell on earth where corpses were scattered all over the place. The huge gap was even more shocking. Rong Changan and her subordinates all swore in their hearts.
"The general who protects the country has arrived, where is the garrison?"
Song Qiang's loud voice resounded through the streets and alleys, and after a while, a soldier came out and led them to the government office.
The government office was also badly damaged, food and valuables were looted, and there was almost no food in the whole city. The leader of the garrison is Li Dajun, who is very heroic with a wolf waist and a tiger back. He was born as a commoner and has no backing. After the large army retreated, he was asked to stay and clean up the mess.
"What's going on? Why is it so tragic?" Rong Changan stared at Li Dajun with wide eyes.
Li Dajun was overwhelmed by Rong Changan's majesty, "Report to the general, they have abandoned the city! The large army has received the king's order, abandoned the city and retreated."
"Is it His Majesty's will?" Rong Changan asked even though he knew that no one would dare to falsely preach the imperial decree.
"yes."
"Then why didn't you leave? They arranged for you to stay?" Yan Li's focus was here, everyone left, and it was strange that he didn't leave.
"My home is here, where can I go?" His expression was very desolate, yes, he wanted to leave too, but this was his home, his home was gone, and he was alone wherever he went.
"So that's how it is. Let me explain it in detail." Although it was cruel, Rong Changan still wanted to know the specific situation.
"It's like this, General. That day we knew in advance that the enemy army was going to attack, and the army had already retreated. We garrisons grew up here, and there was no place to retreat, so the army let us stay. Those who died were those we resisted The garrison and organized civilians. Those who survived were hidden by us.”
"The enemy army is here to rob and search, and they don't pay attention to those who don't resist. Our food has been robbed! If you don't come, we will starve to death! I really didn't expect that, come here It turned out to be you, General Rong, we have hope when you come."
Li Dajun's eyes were full of excitement and hope, completely different from the despair just now.
After Li Dajun finished talking about the battle, the room was speechless for a while, and everyone was immersed in the great sorrow. A city abandoned by the monarch, a group of irregular troops abandoned by the country, and a group of old, weak, sick and disabled. This is really a dilemma!
Li Dajun knelt down in front of Rong Changan excitedly, and said earnestly, "General, you will definitely not give up on us, right? You will definitely save us, right? We have nothing left, and our food has also been robbed." gone."
"I beg you, save the people in the city? They are old and young, and without the help of the army, they will definitely die. I beg you!" After finishing speaking, he kowtowed three times to Rong Changan. There was a thumping sound, and the blood dripping from his head was unresolved.
Rong Chang'an and Yan Li looked at each other, "Li Dajun, you should tidy up your head first, don't kneel and kneel when you have nothing to do. The people must be saved, but a proper strategy is needed. You can introduce it to my deputy general Song Qiang first. As for the situation outside, I will discuss the specific regulations with the deputy commander.”
Li Dajun grinned and said with a smile, "Yes. Vice General Song, please follow me."
There were only two people left in the room, Rong Changan turned around and looked at Yan Li firmly, "I must save the people in this city, will you complete your mission?"
Yan Li immediately understood what she was asking, "The mission His Majesty entrusted to me must be completed. But you are my boss, General. If the boss wants to save people, I have to cooperate, don't I? I'm just a small A small deputy commander, not the commander in chief." Yan Li smiled slyly, like an old fox.
"Vice Marshal Yan, you are really talented!" Rong Changan also felt relieved, as long as he didn't stop Jiuxing. As for what His Majesty said, we will think of a way at that time, and the military orders abroad will not be accepted.
"I want the garrison to gather all the active labor forces in the vicinity. They are familiar with the vicinity, and let them lead the way and gather the people together, so that it is convenient to take care of them.
Too many people have died, and the rest have met me, let them live well!
The most troublesome thing is food, they have no food, this is really a problem, how about...
"No." Yan Li did not wait for Rong Changan to finish speaking, and resolutely refused, leaving no room for her to discuss.
"In that case you are resisting the decree, don't you want to live? Another way."
"Don't you think that is the most convenient and quickest way?"
"Look, it's the fastest way at the moment, but it will bring you endless troubles in the future, no." Yan Li also became stubborn, not giving in at all because Rong Changan was the coach and the woman.
Rong Chang'an was the same, after all, they were opposites in name.
