Chapter 229 Park
From beginning to end, Jiang Yu did not say a word. He had heard about the dead place in Jia Rong's mouth since he was a child. He had heard the old man in the clan that how many people died in the vast desert. He dared not persuade or did not want Jia Rong to lead the army into that area.
Zhang Zhi scratched his head and said, "If it doesn't work, we have to rush hard. As long as we can return to Jincheng, we don't have to be afraid of anything. At that time, we will definitely beat these bastards."
"Zhang Zhi, have you got in touch with Jincheng?" Jia Rong asked.
Zhang Zhi's face turned red and said, "Not yet. The scouts sent out have not come back."
Jia Rong stared at the map for a long time, slowly got up and said, "Let's retreat in this direction." The direction of Jia Rong's finger is like the dead place that several people just said.
Jiang Yu's face changed and he advised, "General, no. As long as we hold back the enemy's pace, the general can return to Jincheng first. Don't take this big risk, general. The old man in the humble clan said that this desert is dangerous and dangerous. If you are not careful, you will die."
Originally, Jiang Yu wanted to say that no one could get out, but he never said it.
Jia Rong said with a wry smile, "Do you think I'm the one who left my brother behind? Even if I die, I will die together."
Jiang Yu and Zhang Zhi only felt the blood surging. The weight of Jia Rong's words was so heavy that they needed to repay them all their lives. Therefore, when Jia Rong was in danger in the future, they never questioned Jia Rong's order, and they did not frown even if they were in great danger.
Jia Rong waved his hand to stop the trend of Zhang Zhi and Jiang Yu's persuasion. He said lightly, "This matter has been settled. There is no need to repeat. Tell the brothers below to bring water and fill all the things that can hold water. It still needs to pass through this place to enter the desert." Jia Rong's hand rested on Pu Yu.
Jiang Yu went away with a bitter face. Zhang Zhi also stared at the map. The first time he came into contact with this kind of thing, he was very curious, especially on a small map, he could find Jincheng Wuwei and distant counties such as Bingzhou.
The "Geng" flag in the mouth of the scout was getting closer and closer to Jia Rong and his party. It stopped only five miles away from Jia Rongjun and set up camp in an orderly manner. On the road that was not very wide, he put a dense refuse horse and couldn't bear to look directly at it.
In fact, the place to camp is the only way for Jia Rong and others to return to Jincheng.
After listening to the news brought back by the scout, Jia Rong strengthened the idea of the whole army to enter the desert. Now they are surrounded on three sides, and all the enemy will complete the encirclement within two hours. If they don't leave now, it will be too late when the enemy complete the encirclement. At that time, even if they want to leave, there is no way.
After seeing with his own eyes that this team of about 1,500 people, Jia Rong took the opportunity to order the whole army to retreat in the direction of the desert. At first glance, this army with the "Geng" flag was a well-trained person. The soldiers's weapons were not inferior to that of ordinary Xiliang soldiers. It must not be a problem to pester these more than 500 people. Teng Xiangqi, the enemy's general is Geng Yan, the magistrate of Pu Yu County. Pu Yu County is also on the border of Wuwei. To the east is the vast Gobi Desert. Under the difficult living conditions, the endurance of the soldiers is far superior to ordinary people, and the quality of the soldiers is naturally much higher.
Hearing Ma Teng's report, Jia Rong's eyes lit up. Geng Yan was the magistrate of Park County. In this way, the soldiers of Park County must have been transferred.
Seeing Jia Rong leading the army to leave, Geng Yan did not mean to stop him. In his opinion, Jia Rong was already a prey in the encirclement, and it was impossible to escape anyway. All he had to do was to guard the road to Jincheng.
What Cheng Qiu and Geng Yan didn't expect was that Jia Rong led the cavalry to run to the northeast, just passing by the army led by Cheng Qiu.
In shock, Chengqiu immediately led the soldiers to closely follow Jia Rong. As long as he did not go out of Wuwei County, Jia Rong was the turtle in the urn.
However, Jia Rong has been famous in Liangzhou for a long time. It is rumored that he is a famous general of the Han Dynasty, which should not be underestimated. Jia Rong's past achievements are even more popular all over the world.
After two days of continuous escape and fighting, the number of soldiers under his command has been sharply reduced to 500. Some seriously injured soldiers have been killed in the battlefield. Although it has reduced the burden of the army, it has made Jia Rong more guilty about this matter. The death of these soldiers is actually completely avoidable, just because of a momentary negligence.
Jia Rongjun, who was determined to escape, could not catch up with the infantry of Chengqiu. All the complicated items were abandoned, the burden of the cavalry was greatly reduced, and the injuries of the sick were almost healed. The marching speed became faster, making the ambitious Chengqiu lead the army to rise up and chase.
All the soldiers in Pu Yu County were taken away by Geng Yan. No one thought that Jia Rong would change the march route and go straight to Pu Yu.
Park said that it is a county town, but it is not. Backed by the desert, the climate is bad, and few people are willing to settle here. What is worth people's nostalgia is that it has not been affected by the war, and the people can have a stable life.
When Jia Rong arrived with the army, the gate of Pu Yu County opened, and the people came and went between the gates. There was no preparation for Park to break into the inland. When Jia Rong led the army to rush into Pu Yu County, the soldiers guarding the gate were able to react.
Jia Rong immediately ordered the gate to be closed. A team of cavalry appeared on the not wide streets of Park County to appease the frightened people, but did not cause disturbance. The ordinary people still lived as before. The difference was that they were not allowed to go out of the gate.
What the people care about is not the rulers, as long as their normal life is not disrupted and they can survive.
The soldiers of the county government office wisely chose to surrender. In order to ask for credit, the soldiers attentively took Jia Rong and others to the warehouse in Puqi County.
On both sides of Puqi County are the Great Wall. The towering Great Wall clamps Puqi County in the middle. Puqi said that it is a county, which is actually similar to Guansai, but it is backed by the desert, there is no enemy invasion, and its strategic significance is not as high as Yanmen Guanyumenguan and other fortresses.
After ordering Jiang Yu, Ma Teng and others to do the supply work, Jia Rong led Zhang Zhi to the Great Wall. Even if future generations had seen the Great Wall, Jia Rong couldn't help marveling at this huge project again. Unlike the Great Wall seen in later generations, it was original.
With a thickness of five or six meters wide and a wall seven or eight meters high, Jia Rong's blood is boiling.
With such a fortress, even if Cheng Qiu leads 10,000 soldiers, he can only look at the wall and sigh.
However, the grain reserve of Puqi County does not allow Jia Rong's army to be stationed here. The monthly food and fodder supplies of the barren Puqi County are provided by the state pastoral government. According to the soldiers in the city, the state pastoral government transports food and fodder every three months, and when Geng Yan took away the grain and fodder in the city when he led the army away, so that Jia Rong's idea of guarding Piao fell. Empty.
In fact, Jia Rong is very depressed. What's the use of Geng Yan's army stationing in this place where birds don't shit? Invincible people come outside, and there is no worry about chaos inside. It doesn't make any sense.
Jia Rong had just occupied Pu Yu for only half a day. The smoke and dust flew outside Pu Yu City, and Cheng Qiu arrived with his army.
Looking at Jia Rong who appeared at the head of the city, Cheng Qiu was relieved. As long as Jia Rong was in Pu, he immediately ordered the soldiers to camp outside the city. The soldiers under Cheng Qiu also breathed a sigh of breath. The chase these days exhausted them out.
Jia Rong came forward to comfort the troops outside the city. Now, Jia Rong doesn't want these brothers who follow him to suffer any more losses.
People are boundless. The 10,000 army led by Cheng Qiu is particularly spectacular from Jia Rong's perspective, giving people a feeling of falling into the enemy's ocean. However, with the Great Wall as the backer, Jia Rong has unprecedented peace of mind.
"Zhang Zhi, you lead the soldiers to completely seal the city gate. You are not allowed to go out without my order. If there is any abnormal movement, cut it first and then play!" Park Yu has always been Geng Yan's nest. There are certainly many people who are loyal to him in the city. If he comes to work together, such a loss is what Jia Rong doesn't want to see.
The next day, after burying the pot to make rice, Cheng Qiujun still did not mean to attack Pu Yu, but stationed outside Pu Yu City.
Jia Rong naturally knew what their idea was. Cheng Qiu expected that Jia Rong would not lead the army into the desert, and Geng Yan also knew that there was not much food and fodder in the city. As long as it was surrounded, Jia Rongjun would collapse without fighting.
Even the cavalry was exhausted after running for a long time. Cheng Qiu only besieged and did not attack, which was Jia Rong's most happy opinion. Only the patrolling soldiers were left, and most of the soldiers had a good rest.
After three days of recuperation, the soldiers have recovered from fatigue.
Jia Rong has collected enough water bags and dry food, mainly dried meat, and all of them are paid to buy the people in the city. Anyway, what Jia Rong lacks most is money. Money can be earned. The people are happy to trade with Jia Rongjun. When the people see that this army is not as domineering as the soldiers they have seen before, they will hurry. The things that were hurried to move home were taken out again.
These cavalrymen are rich and never bargain when buying things. They are all rich. In the past few days, the market in the city has prospered compared with the past, and both sides are very happy.
Jia Rong came to Wei Fu's room alone. After a few days of rest, Wei Fu's face was much better and she was much more energetic. The relationship between the two warmed up in this escape.
A woman can spare her life for herself. Jia Rongruo still doesn't understand that it is a piece of wood, and Wei Fu is also a rare woman in the world. Both her appearance and heart are very good. In later generations, it is definitely a few streets away from her followers. Jia Rong, an unknown poor boy, can be favored by Wei Fu. I'm so happy that I can't close my mouth when I sleep.
"Fuer, how are you feeling?" Jia Rong said softly, with a rare gentle voice.
Wei Fu bit her red lip and said, "Brother, it's nothing serious. I can get out of bed and walk."
Wei Fu didn't know at all how big the lip biting action was for Jia Rong's **.
Jia Rong felt that his heart was beating at a high speed, and his blood was surging, which was more exciting than hearing the war drums on the battlefield.
He resisted the throbbing in his heart and said, "That's good, that's good."
Please accept the popularity. Let's work hard together. Although the daily update of the cliff is not so awesome, and the ability is limited, I hope you can forgive me. The cliff will work hard!
