Chapter 169: One step ahead
"Person Yang, I want to take my younger sister home first. I wonder if it is feasible?" Song Wumian said confidently, but he knew that everything in this royal palace, including his sister Wuli, should be led by Sun Yu, and he could not decide. But he really couldn't bear to let his sister continue to stay in this royal palace.
"This, if I just Ling Mei and some personal belongings, I can make the decision." Yang Qifeng hesitated for a moment. His own adults are not the ones who are tempted by the lust. As long as the money is kept in sight, it should be fine. Besides, the three major families led by the Song family have a lot of funding for the Jianzhou Army. You might as well sell this matter and report it to the adults.
"There is another maid Zheng'er, please ask the adults to open it." Zheng'er has been following her for many years and has been relying on each other for the rest of the day. Song Wuhuang cannot do it. Now that she makes a request, even though she is not aware of advancing and retreating, she doesn't care about so much.
"Well, I will respond to this matter first and report it to the Lord tomorrow. Mr. Song, let's go out." Yang Qifeng nodded. A maid is not a big deal. The war outside has not yet ended, so I have to watch it.
Yang Qifeng carried the sword out of the backyard, and Song Wumian protected Song Wuqian and Zheng'er and walked outside.
"Little Liu Dashan, this is my brother Qiu Zhen. We both make a living under General Deng. Don't worry, these riot soldiers can't leave." Liu Dashan, the head of the head, patted his chest and said. There are still dozens of riot soldiers, all surrounded by groups, and there is no possibility of escaping.
"Okay, the two generals are taking action with righteousness. Yang will be in front of Lord Sun tomorrow to ask for merit for you. Our Jianzhou Army has always been a clear distinction in rewards and punishments. You two are just waiting for good news." Yang Qifeng took a look, and at most a moment, the war could end.
"The word "could not be a general," means that he is old this year, otherwise he will follow the major general out of the city." Qiu Zhen and Liu Dashan quickly bowed and thanked him. I feel relieved with his words, and I will not be in vain tonight.
"Person Yang, I'll take people to put out the fire first." Song Wumian was a little embarrassed. Except for a small number of guards he brought, most of them were posing outside and did not dare to break in. Since that's the case, then go to put out the fire and do your best.
"Okay." Yang Qifeng nodded. The few wing rooms in the front yard were burning. It was not very important, but if the fire was allowed to spread, it might burn to the back yard, and the loss would be great.
"Person Yang, please sit down!" Liu Dashan didn't know where to bring a stool, wiped it clean with his sleeves, and placed it behind Yang Qifeng. Compared to Qiu Zhen, Liu Dashan was a bit awkward.
"Thank you!" Yang Qifeng was not polite and sat down directly. Many people in the battle group in front gave up resisting and were disarmed. The matter had reached the ending stage and would be over in a while.
"What are your plans for the next day?" Yang Qifeng looked at the two of them. They were almost forty years old and it was a bit difficult to go to the battlefield. You might as well ask them what they mean first, and it would be better to mention them to the adults. If these two people hadn't arrived tonight, with the escorts brought by Song Wumian, whether things could be accomplished will be done, and there would be heavy casualties.
"Person Yang, we are all old and are not suitable for rushing on the battlefield. We just want to get a free assignment and get a share of money to support our family." Although Liu Dashan knew that this time he made a lot of contributions,
But you can't be greedy. I don't know what kind of person is. Anyway, the word "Kill God" is more in line with the news that came before.
"Old Liu is right, Captain Yang, we were going to leave the army in less than two years. If the adults don't dislike it, we just want to do something in the yamen, such as being a street patrol constable, we can't fight in the battle formation, but it's easy to deal with the little thief." Qiu Zhen pointed his head straight, Lao Liu was right, and he thought so too.
"Well, I will report this matter to the Lord tomorrow. You will take the prisoners first, and the royal palace must be taken seriously. Without my orders, no one will be allowed to enter and exit until the Lord comes." Yang Qifeng nodded. This kind of thing is easy to deal with. When the Lord takes over the Quanzhou City, there will always be some changes. Arrange a position for the two, but it is only a matter of raising hands.
"Oh, don't worry, Captain Yang, I promise that even a mouse can't get out." Liu Dashan and Qiu Zhen patted their chests and promised that it would be a good night to live a decent life in the rest of their lives.
When the fire was extinguished, Yang Qifeng took everyone out of the palace and personally took people to check it out to confirm that nothing was missing. Naturally, some female relatives were inevitably crying on the road, wanting Yang Qifeng to let them have a way out. Yang Qifeng was not very annoyed, so he simply gathered everyone and asked the princess Song Wuqian to come forward to comfort her first. They were all pitiful people.
"Dear sisters, Lord Sun from Jianzhou is my elder brother's friend, you are all here with peace of mind. We are just women and children. During his lifetime, the prince was somewhat affectionate with Lord Sun, and we would never end up miserable. You are all here with peace of mind. Now there will be chaos outside. What can you do when you go out? At least it is much safer here." Song Wuqian was a nobleman from the royal palace before. After all, she came forward, so naturally someone believed that the female family members who were originally thrusting and quieted down and went back to wait for the news.
When everyone left the palace, Yang Qifeng personally took the lockdown and explained to Liu Dashan and Qiu Zhen, so he must not be careless.
"The fire in the Prince's Mansion tonight is strange. Do you know why Mr. Song?" Yang Qifeng still didn't expect why the fire was burning, otherwise it would not be so easy tonight.
"I'm asking Zheng'er to set fire. I've been on guard against this day. I've let Zheng'er light firewood behind the room. As long as they rush into the palace, we'll light the fire. Although we don't know what it's useful, it's better than no one knows." Song Wuqiu, who was following Song Wumian, said softly. Since the palace was closed that day, they have cut off contact with the outside world. They have to make some preparations. If something happens, they have to spread the news. This setting fire is the best way.
"The princess is a good method, I admire him." Yang Qifeng shook his head. Fortunately, she didn't give birth to a son, otherwise they would not have been able to enter Quanzhou.
"I dare not be called the princess. Now I just want to restore my freedom and live some peaceful life. Brother, have you ever forgotten about Wanghailou?" Song Wuqi finally left the palace, and she never wanted to hear this title again. Now I hope everyone will forget her identity and let her start a new life.
"Little sister, you and my family should also remind you? You can take away the industry of Wanghailou at any time." Now, Song Wumian has the final say in the Song family.
Even if his father Song Lian is here, he has no choice. Because he has always been doing the work of contacting Jianzhou. With this contribution, he is now the most prestigious person in the three major families.
At this time, Zhang Shuo, who came from Putian, was in a hurry in the military camp. Just now, the military advisor told him that his father had never beaten the boy named Sun and died on the spot. He was really old.
"Major General, we have to withdraw quickly, otherwise we won't leave tomorrow." The military advisor was Zhuge Xuan, a western teacher who was young. He claimed to be a descendant of the Zhuge clan of Nanyang, and he came from the same clan as Zhuge Kongming, and he had a high reputation. Zhang Shuo was a useless man who obeyed him and followed his advice. Since he came to the Han River, he had camped and had no intention of crossing the river. In his words, as long as they restrained the army on the other side, his father Zhang Hansi would definitely win, and he never thought he would die directly.
"That's what we have to call General Gan. We will go back to Putian tomorrow morning, but can we defend our staff?" Zhang Shuo led a central army of 4,000 people, and the Forward Battalion was the commander of Gan Yue. Although this person has some talent, he always doesn't appreciate Zhang Shuo, but he has a lot of contact with his second brother. This time, he is also the military advisor's idea, because he is afraid that he will collude with the second brother in the city and do something that is unfavorable to him.
"I can't wait for tomorrow, and leave tonight, quietly. According to my plan, the other party will definitely cross the river early tomorrow morning, and we will not be able to leave at that time." Zhuge Xuan was still a little sensible. The other party would definitely increase his manpower tonight and cross the river early tomorrow morning.
"Then we have to call General Gan, otherwise I will be afraid that I will not be able to defend Putian if there are fewer people." Zhang Shuo was puzzled. They only had 6,000 people left. The old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city could be ignored. If the two thousand people in Gan Yue were defeated, they would not be able to defend even if they returned to the city.
"If four thousand people can't defend, six thousand people can defend? How long will it last? Ten days or one month? As long as the other party surrounds and does not fight, we will inevitably lose our footsteps." Zhuge Xuan's heart was clear. This city could not be defended, and the other party could constantly obtain food, grass and supplies. However, they were trapped in the city and did not dare to leave the city. There was no difference between Gan Yue's in and not in the city. The key was to find a way out.
"What should I do? Please teach me how to do it." Although Zhang Shuo is not very talented, he has always been very polite to Zhuge Xuan, so he can only rely on him for this matter.
"Let Gan Yue stop the other side here for a while, we will try to surrender to the State of Nanyue. I will go to Fuzhou to meet Qian Renjun, the governor of Zhangwu, and ask him to send troops to Putian County." Zhuge Xuan knew very well that the State of Nanyue had been coveting Quanzhou for a long time, but he was not determined to lead to the joint efforts of the Southern Tang and the Qingyuan Army. But if he took the initiative to surrender, they should not give up this opportunity. Moreover, it was the Southern Tang who broke the balance here, and they were in the right way.
"Then please sir, I will arrange for the withdrawal of troops." Zhang Shuo is not a fool. With his strength, it will inevitably be difficult to protect himself. Only by seeking the country of Nanyue is the only way out.
The entire camp's torches and tents remained the same. Zhang Shuo led his 4,000 troops to retreat quietly, throwing away a lot of supplies, just asking for a quick return to Putian.
