Ten days later.
Xia Chu, who was separated in three ways, was the first to meet up with Gu Weiyi. Chiyi's speed was one of the reasons, but the most critical point was that Gu Weiyi had only just arrived from Xia Chu and was based on Yigang. Just took back the city of Dan Chang.
This is really no wonder that Gu Weiyi's efficiency is too low. There are not many people left in Yuefeng to guard Jicheng to Yigan, but they cannot withstand the poison array cast by these people.
People in the Western Region didn't care about the lives of the people in the city, but Gu Weiyi didn't dare to act rashly.
He really wanted to take back the city, but he also didn't want to take back dead cities for quick success.
Therefore, the situation was so deadlocked that Xia Chu only took ten days to rush to Danchang to meet him.
The arrival of Chu Xia allowed Gu Jiajun to display its true power.
People from the Western Regions spread poison in the city. Xia Chu left Bian Ding with Gu's army and went into the city alone to find out the source and then use medicine to cure it. Gu Weiyi then sent his army to follow up. Where could the people from the Western Regions still be invincible? retreat.
The efficiency is so fast that it can be called the highest in history.
Apart from Xia Chu's expert detoxification skills, it was also because the people in the city were extremely cooperative and eager to return to the Xiao Kingdom. The army and the people were united, so it would be effortless to face the Western Region, which was short of manpower.
While the army was reorganizing in the city, Gu Weiyi looked at the young man beside him and couldn't help but lower his eyes and sigh.
Xia Chu arrived last night, entered the city late at night, returned to camp at dawn, and attacked the city at dawn.
It only took less than an hour to take back Linshun, and he was in a stalemate here for almost half a month.
Originally, he was not as good as the Marquis, which already made him feel angry, but he didn't expect that I couldn't compare, not even his son. It was a waste that he joined the army at the age of ten and spent half his life in the army, but he couldn't compare with a young man who had never reached the championship.
"You still look so sad when you take back Linshun, Mr. Gu..." Xia Chu paused for a moment. In the past, Mr. Gu had the habit of shouting, and he almost blurted out. He pursed his lips and continued: "It's... General Gu."
Gu Weiyi grimaced: "Are you kidding me?"
Hearing this, Xia Chu burst out into a smile: "It's a smile, not a joke on you. Let's leave quickly. Before the regent has received the news, we can collect a few more seats smoothly."
Gu Weiyi frowned and looked at him. After a long journey and not sleeping the night before, Xia Chu's face was very pale. He couldn't help but feel distressed and advised: "You should take a nap before setting off."
Xia Chu stubbornly shook his head. The more he did now, the less he would lose. He didn't want to miss any time.
"I order you to rest by the order of the general." Gu Weiyi put on a straight face. Seeing Xia Chu raise his eyebrows, he turned his head and snorted: "Don't think that you are now a little marquis and you are not a swordsman." , you can disobey orders. Since you are in our army, rest if you are told to. If you disobey orders, I will slap you with my own hands."
Xia Chu stared at his serious look and suddenly smiled and said, "Yes."
Gu Weiyi turned his head and saw the smile on his lips, blowing his beard and scolding with eyes wide open: "Why are you smiling?"
Xia Chu turned her back to him and waved as she walked: "I finally know why you couldn't chase my mother back then."
…
Xia Chu took a nap in an ordinary bed and breakfast with Diandian in his arms, not forgetting to tell Bian to wake him up after an hour.
Bian Ding had already fallen asleep for a while when he entered the city, so he simply stayed by his side.
Xia Chu was so tired that he couldn't sleep for a while. Looking at Bian Ding who was meditating and adjusting his breath under the couch, he asked him: "Have you made any progress in Qing Gong?"
Although Bian Ding was very dissatisfied with his inhumane training, he had to admit that there was indeed some progress, but he still couldn't help complaining: "Who uses this method to improve Qinggong."
After all, for martial arts, Qinggong cannot deliver a fatal blow, and it consumes both the body and the body. It not only consumes a lot of physical strength, but also consumes serious internal energy.
If you have the time to specialize in a unique martial arts skill, it is much better than spending your mind and body practicing this light skill.
Xia Chu rubbed the bits of fur in her arms, and the warmth emanating from its body gradually made her sleepy. She replied as if she was dreaming: "Really? That's how my Qinggong came out..."
Dreaming back to those days on the mountain, he would fly back and forth to Zilan Mountain a hundred times every day.
Bian Ding was startled after hearing what he said. He originally thought that the young master was young and had great qinggong.
Why is it that he is gifted with great talent and has the guidance of an expert, but he never thought that it was only through hard work that he could achieve it
He turned around and saw that Xia Chu had fallen asleep.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Xia Chu was tricking him or whether what he said was true...
Things were going quite smoothly on Xia Chu's side, but things were very unfavorable on Old General Zhao's side.
Originally, General Zhao planned to advance into Fengwu City before the Mongolian army arrived, use Fengwu as a stronghold to meet the Mongolian army head-on, and defeat them in one fell swoop.
Ke Li Fei also received the message from Bayar, and after discussing with Shi Fuqiu, she gave up the attack on Chang'an, broke camp and set off towards Fengwu.
The Shi Jiajun and the Mongolian army were actually about to converge, forcing the Zhao Jiajun, who was about to arrive at Fengwu, to camp in the suburbs.
For a while, I didn't dare to enter the city.
The stalemate here is extremely unfavorable to the Zhao army. Food and grass are already in short supply. They originally planned to enter the closed dock to solve their urgent needs, but the Mongolian army and the Shi army were outflanked. Entering the city would be self-destruction.
Now, to be honest, Xiao Zimu couldn't afford any extra military pay.
There is money in the account of the Ministry of Accounts, but there is not a penny in the treasury.
It wasn't that Xu Wanjun was guarding and stealing, but that Concubine Li had arranged for people to steal it secretly every day as early as the day Xiao Yanjun was crowned prince.
At that time, Xu Wanjun, together with Taifu Wu and the others, claimed to be ill and refused to go to court. In addition, Concubine Li strictly ordered not to spread the news, so Xu Wanjun naturally knew nothing about it.
Fortunately, Xu Wanjun did not go to court in those days, so he escaped the disaster. Otherwise, he would have found out about the secret theft of public funds, and Concubine Li would have definitely silenced him.
Therefore, whether Xu Wanjun was there or not actually meant little.
Later, there was a palace change, and naturally no one would take stock of the treasury at that time.
Although Xiao Zimu and others knew that Concubine Li had never been content with herself, they did not expect that she could be so far-sighted when Xiao Yanjun was canonized.
In order to rebel, sufficient silver was prepared.
Until Xia Chu and others left the capital, Xiao Zimu was preparing to rebuild Qingxin Palace, and was also planning to allocate some official silver from the treasury to rescue the people of Chang'an who had been plundered, so he ordered Xu Wanjun to get the money.
After opening the cash box at the Ministry of Finance, I found that it was filled with heavy stones...
Xu Wanjun was completely dumbfounded. He was so stunned that he almost hung himself from the beam all day and night.
When the news came back to the Xu Mansion, Xu Wenlan was naturally frightened. He went to the palace on his father's behalf to explain the facts to Xiao Zimu, and was willing to take the responsibility for his father and use up all the family wealth in an instant.
After Xiao Zimu heard the whole story, he knew that Xu Wanjun was not to blame.
But since the Ministry of Revenue has no money, the renovation of Qingxin Hall can be put on hold, and the people of Chang'an can endure it for a while.
But those who fight cannot go to the battlefield hungry...
