Royal Road - Chapter 335

[Chapter 334]

He couldn’t help but get excited.

Since Shi Le fled from the famine and left Bingzhou, he has not returned to his hometown for seven years.

The old mother who stayed in Wuxiang has long since disappeared.

He also sent people secretly into Bingzhou several times to find them, but his hometown was already empty.

Could it be that the mother had already died in that terrible year of famine?

Shi Le even made the worst plan, but refused to give up.

until today.

Pulling back the curtain suddenly, Shi Lehu’s eyes turned red, he hurried forward, and threw himself at the feet of the old woman sitting in the tent: “Mother, the child is unfilial!” In

a short sentence, his voice choked.

“Laole!” Seeing his son, Wang raised his hand to cover his mouth, trying to block the exclamation, but tears fell first.

The next moment, she burst into tears and hugged Shi Le tightly.

How many villagers have died of starvation. She, an old woman with no strength, can survive and see her beloved son again. Isn’t it the blessing of God and Buddha?

Hearing his mother’s cry, Shi Le’s heart ached, and he couldn’t help shedding tears.

The mother and son hugged and cried for a long time before barely holding back their tears.

Carefully supporting his mother on the soft couch, Shi Le handed over the cloth towel and said softly, “Mother must have suffered a lot over the years. Now that she has come to Yanzhou, the child will definitely let her mother have food and clothing…

” Touching his mind, he paused before continuing, “By the way, what about the rest of the family? Why didn’t you see Ah Hu?”

This Ah Hu, Shi Le’s cousin, has been raised by his mother.

When he left Bingzhou, the boy was only seven or eight years old, and he should be an adult now.

Hearing his son mention Shi Hu, Wang Shi burst into tears again: “Hu was reckless when he was young, wounded people with a slingshot, and was beaten to death…”

Shi Le actually didn’t like this stubborn nephew very much, but after listening to his mother say so , couldn’t help feeling sad, and said quickly: “When I get married and give birth to a child, I will lead it to my mother’s knees. I will not let my mother’s knees be empty.”

Hearing that his son mentioned marrying a wife and having children, Wang Shi suddenly became excited: “I heard people say, how many children did you have died early?”

This is also Shi Le’s heart disease.

In the early years, he was unable to marry a wife. Later, when he led the army and gained status, Shi Le took a few concubines.

But none of the children born survived.

With a long sigh, he nodded: “The war is chaotic, so I can’t get a wife in a hurry. But when Yanzhou settles down, I will definitely marry a woman from an aristocratic family and honor my mother…”

Wang shi seemed to have heard something terrible and died to death. He grabbed his arm: “This, this is the Buddha’s punishment! Lule, you must listen to the mother, and stop being the enemy of the Buddha!”

As soon as these words came out, Shi Le snorted in his heart: “Mother is confused. How could there be a Buddha child?!”

Wang Shi did not listen to this set of words: “If the Buddha child hadn’t rescued Wu Township, my clan and I would have died a long time ago! You still have to raise an army and become an enemy of the Buddha child! Wouldn’t this be perfidious and forgetting justice? Or quickly cast into Bingzhou and worship at the feet of the Buddha!”

How is this possible?

!

No one knows better than Shi Le himself that he has become the mortal enemy of Jin.

The Sima County King alone has killed an unknown number of people, and he has repeatedly confronted Bingzhou’s troops and horses.

If you give up the current foundation and surrender to the state, the most likely thing is to be killed by the other party.

The only place he can stand now is the Han Kingdom.

But why would my mother say that?

Shi Le’s face turned gloomy: “Who told you this? Did someone provoke you to persuade me to surrender?”

Wang’s face suddenly filled with anger: “You still want the Buddha to persuade you to surrender? He will not punish you, It is a great blessing! Only by repaying the sins can we be freed. Don’t get caught in the mud!”

Isn’t this what the officials in Bingzhou told their mother?

Shi Le did not dare to take it lightly. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Mother, you have just come to the camp, so you must be tired. You should rest for two days. My son will come to accompany you later.” As

he spoke, he instructed the servants in the tent to serve, and he walked out. Camp tent.

After a pause, Shi Le suddenly said to the servant beside him, “Who is the one who found the old lady?”

The servant hurriedly said: “The ones who were sent to Shangdang back then. It took a lot of thought to escort the old lady out of Bingzhou.”

“Is there anyone else around the old lady?” Shi Le asked.

“I haven’t seen any strangers,” replied the servant.

It seems that the mother is really not instructed.

However, Shi Le did not feel happy.

Yu Guang swept to the cronies around him, and saw that many people had complicated expressions on their faces.

This is a headache.

Since Shi Le led the “Eighteen Horsemen” to raise troops, his confidants were the Huns, including the Huns, Yuezhi, Tianzhu, and Wuhuan.

And most of these people believe in Buddhism.

What’s more terrible is that in order to avoid the epidemic, he let the medical officials spread the epidemic prevention method of Bingzhou to stabilize the military’s morale.

Since then, the Buddhist son of Bingzhou has become a well-known existence.

Fortunately, many of the Hu Hus had never really been to Bingzhou, and he was not only the Hu people, so he managed to keep the balance.

However, after the battle of Yecheng, Wang Mi’s subordinates and those refugee servants were completely dispersed, and those who followed him back to Yanzhou were all confidants.

How many of these people will remember who they lost in this battle because of their mother’s words?

No matter how strict the military discipline was and blocked the mouths of Youyou, it couldn’t stop the mother who gave birth to him and raised him!

But if things go on like this, if everyone starts to fear that Buddha in Bingzhou, how will the battle be fought?

Will he not move his foundation?

!

“The old lady came to Yanzhou for the first time, let her take good care of her, and don’t let her go out to work. Send all the women in the inner courtyard to relieve the boredom with the old lady.” Shi Le made a decisive decision.

He will provide for his mother well, but don’t appear in front of outsiders.

Alas, if only I could pick her up earlier, why did she believe these rhetoric.

Taking another look at the cronies on both sides of the guard, Shi Le stopped speaking and strode out of the tent.

However, this painstaking effort was not as useful as expected.

A few days later, there was wind in the army.

The reason why Yecheng was defeated was precisely because the general offended the Buddha, causing the gods to descend from heaven and destroy the camp at night.

And this is not the first time that he has been defeated in front of Bingzhou soldiers and horses.

When the generals attacked Yecheng, they were also driven away by the light cavalry of the Buddha.

In Jizhou, he was killed to the point of being killed, and he fled in embarrassment.

This is not the most terrifying. Some people even say that the severe drought in Yanzhou occurred because of disrespect to the Buddha.

Otherwise, how could Yecheng grow crops?

It is said that the harvest in Bingzhou is better, which is no different from the harvest year!

Faced with this wave of rumors, Shi Le couldn’t find a way to deal with it.

Against Bingzhou, he has indeed never won a battle.

This is his weakness. Besides, many things circulating in the army are said to have come from the old lady.

Whether this matter is true or false cannot be concluded, but the law does not blame the public, let alone add fuel to the fire.

If only we could win a battle.

As long as one battle, it will be able to turn things around!

When Shile was in a turmoil, a military order came from the Han state.

Bingzhou had the intention of attacking Pingyang, and ordered Shi Le to lead his troops to help.

※

“The drought has not receded, and there is no guarantee of summer harvests in various places. Now Yuzhou and Yanzhou are full of hungry people who are waiting for food. Even if they are recaptured, they will only increase their burden. However, Shile has been defeated, and the Huns have to stick to Yongzhou and Qinzhou. , isn’t it the time to start the army?” Zhang Bin talked eloquently on the staff seat of Sibing.

The generals here, who has no strategic vision?

Linghu Sheng had already twisted his beard and said, “Zhang Canjun refers to… Pingyang?”

“Exactly!” Zhang Bin didn’t give a shit, and asked his subordinates to reveal the map, “Now that Luoyang has been settled, Li Shi is also safe. Divide into three routes, take Sizhou directly, and we are very sure to conquer the two counties! Not to mention that Pingyang is located in the flank of Bingzhou, it is just Hedong Yanchi, so people have to take it!”

Above the map, both Binh Duong and Ha Dong are marked in bright red.

At this time, the generals are talking about it one after another.

Who does not know the importance of Hedong Salt Pond?

It can be said that in the past, the Huns and the pseudo-Han were able to raise tens of thousands of troops, and there was no shortage of food and grass, and 90% of them depended on the sale of salt.

Logically speaking, Hedong’s troops should not be small, but it happens that Yongzhou also has Yanchi, so Hedong is no longer the only reliance.

Occupying Chang’an, the main force of the Huns went west, wanting to stick to the two states of Yong and Qin.

In this old capital of Pingyang, the defense is also slack, and coupled with the severe drought, it is surprisingly empty.

“The last general is willing to lead the troops!” Li Jun had already shouted loudly.

General Yi is now out of Yecheng, and he may not be able to come back to participate in the war.

This time to attack Pingyang, it is very likely that the soldiers and horses who stayed behind Jinyang will be used.

He also had a year of training with his troops, and with the full support of the Governor’s Office, it was not impossible to capture Pingyang.

If you really let him participate in this battle, he will definitely make a great contribution!

Hearing Li Jun speak, Linghu Kuang couldn’t sit still.

Regardless of the fact that his uncle was by his side, he shouted loudly: “The last general is willing to lead the army!” The

young man was already fighting, but Linghu Sheng was more serious, thought for a moment, and asked, “Hedong is the Xiongnu salt warehouse, and there are many others. The family has good fields. I am afraid that troops will be sent to help. The enemy army in Yongzhou is nothing, but what if Shi Le was ordered to come to help?”

He knew very well that this stone thief was strong and cunning.

Even if they lost a game in Yecheng, it might not hurt their roots.

Just by looking at the people who escaped from Yi Yan’s hands a few times, you can tell that he is an extremely difficult character.

If there is such a strong enemy to help, maybe it will bring changes to the war situation.

However, Zhang Bin smiled slightly: “This, General Linghu doesn’t have to worry too much. The lord has already made arrangements.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

It seems that the lord has considered it very carefully, and it is inevitable for the two counties!

“If this is the case, the last general is willing to lead the troops to advance from Lishi.” Linghu Sheng made a decisive decision and clasped his fists.

Seeing the generals eager to try, Zhang Bin’s lips curled into a small smile.

This time, the attack on Pingyang and Hedong was naturally planned, and the battle of Yecheng was one of them.

As for the Shile thief, it is time to make a break.
