The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 726: The rear army eats meat and we drink soup (please double the monthly ticket!)

“General, I hope the city is going up in flames!”

Ding Jiao squinted his eyes and looked far away in the direction of Wangxiangcheng.

 “That’s it, let’s go!”

 After five thousand fine cavalry galloped for two hours, another spy came to report.

“General, Zhuyuan City is bursting with smoke!”

Ding Jiao reined in his horse and stopped, frowning tightly.

 “Bring me the map!”

 Immediately, someone got off his horse and took out the leather roll on his back. The two of them cooperated and quickly unfolded it.

 “General, we are here.”

 The damp smell in the air makes people feel slightly cold.

"The rear army eats meat and we drink soup. I managed to get the job of cleaning up the aftermath. Don't relax. You can't take everything back this time. Pick the useful ones and the expensive ones. Do you understand? Expensive ones!" "Yan Laoer pulled his neck and shouted.

At a guard post near Wangxiang City, I returned to the city for rotation. I discovered something was wrong, so I immediately returned to the guard post and lit up the smoke.

 Man, I was really nervous at that time.

 …

“General, these two border cities are high and strong. How could the Guanzhou Army conquer them two cities in a row?” The deputy general expressed puzzlement.

 “Quick, move faster!”

The attack on Wangxiangcheng was not as smooth as that on Zhuyuan City, but it was finally captured.

At that time, Wangxiang City had just been captured, and there was no time to tie up the living, collect the dead, or load the things into the truck.

The army hurriedly left the city and scattered in all directions to attack other people's garrison posts.

 Fortunately, his eldest brother made a prompt decision and urged the prince to divide his troops and attack the defense posts.

Ding Jiao looked at it for a moment and said coldly: "I only saw smoke rising, but no news came back. The worst-case scenario is that both cities will be captured by the Guanzhou Army."

These peaceful sounds of raindrops were suddenly disrupted by the sound of rushing and rushing.

Ding Jiao thought for a moment, and his expression became even more condensed.

He pointed to a place on the map and continued: "This place is the place that must be passed back to Guanzhou. Once it is confirmed that the people attacking the city are the Guanzhou army led by Yun Yan, we will immediately lead our troops to drive them here. Meet everywhere.”

At this time, Wangxiang City has fallen silent. There are no pedestrians on the street. There are only a few drops of water left after the rain, falling from the eaves onto the stone road, making a crisp sound.

There are some interludes in the middle.

 The lieutenant general pointed to the map to show their current position.

So, the smoke was not lit by Zhuyuan City, but spread one by one by the Xirong Guards...

The stone lions on the city wall still look majestic and solemn, and they still stand tall after being baptized by wind and rain.

"If the prince falls into the hands of Guanzhou and threatens him, it will be easy to break open the city gate." He focused his eyes on the map and ordered in a deep voice: "Vice General Zhou, you lead three thousand troops to cast the Yuan. Vice General Cao, you Lead four thousand people to Wangxiang, and the remaining three thousand people will go here with me."

The city is in chaos.

He is still his eldest brother, sitting in charge of the county government office, and his aura is at its peak.

The old man Wang Xiangcheng sitting next to him was even more imposing than him.

Forced the government servants in Wangxiang City to work, collected corpses, appeased the people, and set up big pots for cooking.

Those who stayed in the city came here to fill their stomachs quickly.

 The clerical assistant of the county government took the register and went to look for the person.

Everyone who is in Jiangji will be taken away.

After killing two yamen servants who were acting erratically and secretly, the county yamen clerk instantly became his eldest brother's caring person, doing whatever he was asked to do. The whole Wangxiang City was buzzing with noise, which was completely different from the atmosphere in Zhuyuan City that day.

The rear army had more time to clear out the two barns of the military camp and the county government office, the armaments warehouse, the gunpowder warehouse... and they also confiscated the residences of several officials, including the eldest man of Wangxiang City. His family was really rich. Thick!

The gold and silver were all being pulled out in boxes. The gold and silver jewelry on the women's house was clacked down. They didn't even take care of the fine fabrics in the south. They threw them into the car in the rain and waited for them to be bundled. Just cover it with a big raincloth and that's it. I don't know what it will look like when it's shipped back.

After this incident, Yan Laoer discovered that the rear army was more bandit than bandit. I'm afraid they didn't perform well in Zhuyuan City. They were familiar with each other once and twice. In Wangxiang City, they were more relaxed and started really neat.

 He felt from the bottom of his heart that Yan Ziqi still had a lot to learn from Houjun.

 Then his eldest brother did something very explosive.

He, he, he, forced people from other villages and towns to work as transporters, and wrote serious announcements and stamped them with the seal of the great master.

Being a transporter is not included, you also have to let people bring their own transportation means, that is to say, they have to bring their own oxen, donkeys, mules and carts. If you don’t have one, just a shoulder pole and two baskets...

There are more than one iron mine near Wangxiang City. The rear army not only found iron, but also a small amount of copper!

That’s copper!

 What happened to the lack of copper in the imperial court? The price of copper remained high.

If anyone is found to have privately made copper utensils among the people, they can be taken back directly and beaten first before being charged with a crime.

There should be a copper mine in Xizhou, but the King of Qi kept it a secret. Otherwise, he was rich, and he could just guard a copper mine and enjoy the good fortune of his life.

 The main task of the civilian workers is to transport these copper and iron ores.

By the time the prince came back from the defense post, the city was in order.

Since there were many people and things going back to Guanzhou, Shi Yunyan temporarily changed the retreat route. Instead of returning from the original route, he chose to take a detour outside the Guanzhou.

As the younger brother of his eldest brother, Yan Laoer enjoys a lot of bad treatment... no, fake... no, oops, in short, it's just a different treatment.

They, Yan Ziqi, were not assigned any tasks and could just wander around.

  In other words, just do something.

Yan Laoer sent people around to check for deficiencies and make up for them.

 Finally, I found that I still had to pick the remnants of other people’s rear troops.

No, he just took over the task of dealing with the aftermath.

 First, we must continue to guard the city gate to prevent anyone from leaving the city to report news.

 The second is to light the beacon tower at the appointed time.

 In his brother’s words, even if the smoke smoke was lit at the former guard station and it was not clear because of the rain, don’t bet on anything and be fully prepared to be safe.

The reason why Yan Laoer was able to grab this job was because they and Yan Ziqi were experienced in walking outside the customs. After going out of the customs several times, they never got lost.

Because of his brother's strong sense of direction, Yan Huaiwen told him several times to catch up early and not to delay.

The feeling of worry and worry overflowed on his face.

Yan Laoer is very sensible and nods his head like garlic.

He knew it, and his brother was still pointing him to lead the way.

His brother is good at everything, but his sense of direction is extremely poor. However, he is shy and never lets others know. If the prince still maintains the attitude of asking for advice humbly in everything, then his eldest brother is very likely to be led into a ditch by the army. …

"Qi Da, didn't I say that we are short on time, so I won't offload this." Yan Laoer looked helpless, and asked why he didn't see the three brothers of the Qi family just now. These three people are doing the work for several others, and they are the main force. When I came, it turned out that I was going to unload the bed crossbow on the city wall.

Qi Da Hanhan scratched his head and whispered: "Aren't you curious? It didn't take us much effort to dismantle it. It's just that... we accidentally broke this pole."

 Not a family, don’t enter the same house.

Yan Laoer: My eldest brother always shocks me in various ways!

Yan Huaiwen: I have a headache. My Tianyou always misses those three melons and two jujubes. I want to give you a taste of what it means to really sweep the city!

 Waiter: I'm crying, I don't have enough time to run to Wangxiang City, so I can only light a beacon tower randomly to confuse the enemy's sight.
