Royal Road - Chapter 288

[Chapter 287 | City]

It was getting dark, and before the gate of Jinyang was locked, a light cavalry rushed into the city.

No one can ride a horse in the city during non-war time, non-Yi Chuan, and even so, they have not abandoned their superb riding skills.

Stuck between riding the horse and rushing on the road, the horse team trotted and entered the governor’s mansion without hindrance.

After the leading knight dismounted, he gave orders to the people around him and walked towards the backyard.

The backyard of the Governor’s Mansion can be called three steps, one post, five steps and one post, but not anyone who wants to enter can enter.

However, there was no need to communicate with him. He strode through the corridor, as if he had returned to his own courtyard, and came to the main courtyard where the envoy lived.

Under the guidance of the attendant, he stepped into the room where the candle was lit.

“You’re back? How’s the boot camp?” Before the case, one person was flipping through the papers and greeted him casually.

Just like the swallow suit on him, there is a sense of comfort and indifference.

After rushing the road for more than half an hour, with a face full of dust and a tired face.

However, with just one glance, his heart fell back to its original place, and it seemed that all the fatigue had vanished.

“The recruits are still available. In three months, they will be able to be pulled out to suppress the bandits.” Yi Yan replied simply.

“Good.” Liang Feng nodded and said to the maid next to him, “Remove General Yi’s armor.” The

two maids immediately led Yi Yan to the screen to remove his armor and wash.

Not long after, Yi Yan walked up to Liang Feng and took a seat on the side seat.

When he began to prepare for the battle, his task became heavier.

It takes a few days to walk around.

The rebuilding of the cavalry battalion took a lot of work.

However, whenever he was done with business, he would go back to the city tirelessly.

After all, there is no war yet, so I can squeeze some leisure time.

When the army is really launched, it will be impossible to be so “discreet”.

The official document seemed to be quite important, but Liang Feng was still doing two things: “Have you eaten? The kitchen made some biscuits today, and the taste is not bad…”

Before he could finish his words, Yi Yan was grumbling in his stomach. stand up.

Liang Feng couldn’t help but glance at him with a smile, and ordered, “Bring some porridge and cakes.”

The meal came very fast.

The porridge is boiled with millet, and some vegetables are added to it.

The pancakes are stacked in a pile on the plate, and they are said to be biscuits, but they are actually no different from pie.

When kneading the dough, add marrow fat, wrap the scallion and white mutton, sprinkle with flax, and bake it.

It just smells fragrant and makes people move.

Logically speaking, there is no such thing as one person eating and one person watching.

What’s more, Liang Feng’s status is extremely high, and it is normal to dare to be rude in front of him.

But Yi Yan didn’t refuse, and just started eating.

A few bites of the pancake is one, and the vegetable porridge is also fast. It is difficult for him to take care of the appearance, which is not bad.

This way of eating is the most appetizing. After dinner, Liang Feng couldn’t help but took a pancake from the plate and took a bite.

When the stuffed meat was in, he laughed: “Looking at how sweet you are eating, I thought this pie was different.”

Then, he handed back the meat pie he had eaten.

Yi Yan took it and ate it cleanly.

In just a moment, all the porridge and cakes were eaten, and the maid on the side offered towel and fragrant tea for him to wipe his hands and rinse his mouth.

With a full stomach and no restraints, Yi Yan’s expression relaxed.

Without disturbing Liang Feng’s work, he quietly changed his posture.

As soon as the wound on his body healed, he was still struggling to run around.

Being in such a quiet room makes one feel tired.

After sitting quietly for a while, I suddenly heard a voice in my ear: “There is a report in Xinling, that chapter is in Liu Yao’s army.”

Yi Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of eyes burst out with murderous intent: “Have you found him?”

“Yeah.” Liang Feng’s expression remained unmoved, “This person has been in Yongzhou before, helping Liu Yao with government affairs. He just returned to Pingyang recently.”

“I will take his life!” Yi Yan said In his voice, there was deep hatred.

When he returned from Jicheng that day, he reported the matter to the lord.

Its intention is also extremely simple, even if he hides in the ends of the earth, he will dig this slave out and smash his corpse into ten thousand pieces!

How can you easily let go of the enemy who almost killed the lord?

!

“There will be a chance.” Liang Feng’s voice was still light.

The cold food powder that time made him suffer a lot, and this despicable villain must not let it go.

But more importantly, Zhang Dian, as Liu Yao’s confidant, may have some deep meaning when he returns to Pingyang at this moment.

The battle in Yuzhou has not been short, and whether to withdraw troops or find another place, there must be a result.

And this news is not good news.

“The Ordnance Factory has also developed a bed crossbow with three bows on the crossbow body, and three iron quills can be fired at a time. The longest range is 700 steps, and the winding time is only half of the big yellow crossbow.” Liang Feng said again.

Hearing this, Yi Yan was refreshed: “The city head is going to change the crossbow machine?”

Such a weapon is naturally a priority for city defense.

Although the current Thunderbolt cannon has an extremely long range and great power, it takes too long to siege a city, usually only one or two rounds are used at a time.

After the enemy is prepared, the deterrent effect is far greater than the actual use.

But the new crossbow is different, enough to play a role in uninterrupted siege battles.

And the range is so long, if the enemy uses siege equipment such as ladders and artillery vehicles, it can also be destroyed by rockets.

Once all the cities and fortresses in Bingzhou are equipped with such a weapon, it will be difficult for the enemy to seize the city.

“Not bad.” Liang Feng put down the document in his hand and sighed softly, “Stay in the party, there is no serious problem. I’m afraid that the disaster will not be in the party.”

Yi Yan naturally knew what Liang Feng was worried about, and whispered: “Xingdao With Yecheng in hand, there will always be a way.”

Liang Feng nodded and said, “I’m tired of running around for the past few days?

” road.

Liang Feng smiled and didn’t ask further: “I haven’t played the piano for a long time, why don’t you listen to me play a song?”

Yi Yan nodded immediately.

Liang Feng got up and walked into the room.

Don’t change places, just sit by the piano table and play ancient songs.

The sound of music is gurgling, like a mountain and flowing water, and a light boat crosses the gorge.

Yi Yan also walked into the room, leaned on the couch, and listened to the soothing melody, his eyelids became heavy after a while.

I struggled several times, but didn’t break free.

Seeing that the other party was getting more sleepy, Liang Feng stopped the sound of the piano and said with a smile, “If you are sleepy, just take a rest.”

After all, Yi Yan couldn’t support it after running for a few days, nodded, took off his coat, and lay down. on the couch.

But his eyes were forced not to close.

The meaning is self-evident.

Liang Feng had been busy all day, and a smile appeared on his lips.

He got up and blew out the candles in the room, took off his robe, and lay down on the couch.

It was cold in winter, and because of his frail body, he often had cold hands and feet, but the person beside him was like a large furnace, radiating heat from the inside out.

After adjusting his posture comfortably, Liang Feng let the other side hold him and closed his eyes.

※

“The sky wants to bring disaster, the country will not be the country.” Liu Yao looked at the sun wheel in the sky and let out a sigh.

I saw that the sun hanging above the sky was missing a large piece.

The shadow is like a sun-devouring monster, bit by bit nibbling away at the source of all things.

The sky was dark, and the drums were blaring.

There have been three solar eclipses in a row in the last year, but no one will get used to it.

On the contrary, because of the frequent occurrence of visions, he was even more frightened.

In comparison, Liu Yao, the guy who once took advantage of the solar eclipse to capture the city, seems to be calm.

I just feel that these frequent solar eclipses are not a sign that God is going to die?

On the side, a clear voice said: “Sima Shi’s position is not right, and he will be punished by heaven. This vision is a good omen for me, the emperor.”

Liu Yao turned his head and looked at the extraordinary scholar beside him.

This son’s name is Zhang Dian, and he is the staff member he has just received.

Thanks to Zhang Dian’s advice, Liu Yaocai broke Chang’an twice and sealed the king of Qin within a year.

For such a confidant, Liu Yao naturally takes it seriously.

Therefore, at this moment, he was transferred back to Pingyang.

“Shuya’s words are not bad. With this vision, the Jin army must be panicked. Your Majesty should be able to break through Luoyang in one fell swoop when he sends troops this time!”

The battle in Yuzhou has been going on for more than two months.

Wang Mi’s commotion is really not small.

Qingzhou once changed hands, and Yanzhou also won most of them.

However, the state of Jin invited Xianbei from the Duanbu of Youzhou, and nearly defeated Wang Mi’s army.

Fortunately, Youzhou cavalry didn’t come much, and they didn’t get much benefit, so they evacuated after only one month.

Wang Mi, a cunning and cunning fellow, saw that he was stationing troops at the border of Jingyu, and let Cao Yi continue to harass Qingzhou, forcing Gou Xi to return to defense.

This is not to withdraw troops, but to prepare for the war, which is finally appropriate.

After two months of fierce fighting, Gou Xi’s troops and horses were damaged a lot, and they were all exhausted.

And Henan County and Xingyang County, the hinterland of Sizhou, which is adjacent to Yuzhou, are also greatly affected.

The entire Jin Kingdom is like beating a hundred drums with all their might, as long as they hit with a heavy hammer, they can be smashed!

Luoyang, the capital of the Son of Heaven, is their goal!

It was precisely because the war was imminent that Liu Yao recruited Zhang Dian back.

But he was not the only one who came along.

“Then Di Qiang, is it available?” Liu Yao asked.

Shi Le had built quite a few miscellaneous hu camps in Yongzhou before, and among them was a group of Qiang hus who called themselves Di people.

Although it is a small group, there are 20,000 households, of which there are 8,000 soldiers who can fight.

For such a well-informed fellow, Liu Yao naturally wanted to treat him favorably, so he named him General of Ningxi and commanded more than 20,000 Di Qiang soldiers.

And such a military force was moved to Pingyang by him.

The purpose is to plunder the head power in this war!

“That Pu Hong is very brave and has the style of a general, and all the Di Qiang who have served are obeying orders. How could he miss the opportunity to reward him with His Highness?” Zhang Dian replied with a smile.

Indeed, for these newly surrendered Di Qiang Za Hu, the most important thing is to please Liu Yao, the new master, and obtain military exploits as soon as possible.

It’s just that they never thought of the direction they were going to attack in this war.

Hearing what Zhang Dian said, Liu Yao also smiled: “But in this battle, it is better to be cautious. Shuya, you can send troops with Pu Hong’s troops. It’s okay if you can’t defeat Shangdang, but you must hold back the troops of Bingzhou!”

Hearing this, Zhang Dian hesitated for a moment.

But soon, his expression calmed down: “Xiaguan will take care of Bingzhou for His Highness!”

He had some old grudges with the sick seedling, but the other party might not know his identity.

After all, Bingzhou is a hurdle that the Han state cannot get around. If he can make contributions to the party, let alone Liu Yao, even Liu Yuan should give him a high look.

His goal is not just to join the army and Sima.

There is no one in the Han Dynasty, and there is always a chance to ascend.

It would be even better if Liu Yao could be chosen to be the emperor… I had a lot of thoughts in

my mind, but Zhang Dian’s face was still awe-inspiring.

Looking at the other party’s serious expression, Liu Yao nodded with satisfaction: “This battle is the decisive game…”
