Chapter 78 Scared Yourself

The evacuation operation was not over until dawn, because there were too many people. Although the ice surface was wide, Zhou Shixiong did not dare to let too many people go on the ice together, so he could only let it go in batches. Fortunately, the ice layer was more than three meters thick, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago.

"Sir, I'm back." Liu Liangzuo rushed back from Baodi after dawn. It originally took three days to get to Baodi by land, but he actually took two days and two nights to walk back and forth. Zhou Shixiong looked at the exhausted Liu Liangzuo and reached out and patted his shoulder, "Let them all take a rest, and let's set off after they have loaded the food and grass."

Zhou Shixiong has not left. He is not trying to be a guard for the people, but is waiting for Liu Liangzuo to bring him various information. "Thank you, General." Liu Liangzuo was so sleepy that he didn't close his eyes for two days and two nights. Zhou Shixiong asked him to rest and turn around and greet the soldiers who were escorting food and grass, and got into the sled cart and covered his head and fell asleep. Zhou Shixiong had just sent hundreds of robots to help Liu Liangzuo recover from fatigue. It won't be long before Liu Liangzuo will wake up in full spirit.

"Sir, there is a team of cavalry approaching Liyang Town. They said they were from Jizhou to transport grain." A cavalry came to report the news. After hearing this, Zhou Shixiong got on the horse and went over to see him. If it was really a Jizhou person who rushed over to transport grain, Zhou Shixiong would have to explain some things.

"The last general Ma Dengyun pays homage to Governor Zhou and asks Governor to punish him." After looking at the short military general who claimed to be Ma Dengyun, Zhou Shixiong thought, could Ma Gui be a short man, right?

"Get up, don't make so many false articles in the war. Since you come here in person, I will explain some things, let's talk in the room." Zhou Shixiong led Ma Dengyun into the temporary office and sat down and said, "General Ma, this governor will come to investigate the situation in Sanhe City within two days. I don't care if you want to transport grain. I just remind you two things. First, you can only transport grain for one day. If you want to ask for more, you will be able to lead Jiannu to attack Jizhou, and you can find a rope to hang yourself. Second, you are not allowed to burn grain. This governor will leave some of the grain to confuse Jiannu. If you dare to burn grain, I will go to Jizhou to find you. Do you understand?"

Zhou Shixiong didn't even look good at all to Ma Dengyun. Ma Dengyun thought to himself, 'I had suspected that this was a fake governor, must have made him hold a grudge, otherwise how could his face be so dark.' He didn't dare to express his feelings, and he repeatedly agreed, "The Governor ordered his subordinate Guan Linzun to punish him if he had any mistakes." He also understood that Zhou Shixiong only asked him to transport food for one day because he was afraid that he would seduce Jiannu to Jizhou. Jiannu, who was short of food, would definitely attack Jizhou and regain food.

But there must be traces of grain transport. How can we ensure that Jiannu will not find the food transport? Zhou Shixiong was not worried that Jiannu would find their traces. Jiannu would chase after them if he had the ability to see how their war horses without anti-slip horses fought with him at a speed. As for how to solve this problem in Jizhou, Zhou Shixiong came up with a very expensive idea, asking Ma Dengyun to find fabric to cover the car, and even if there is any omission, it would fall into his pocket. Is it okay? Zhou Shixiong ignored it? This is not a problem he had to worry about.

After Liu Liangzuo's 1,000 sled trucks were loaded with food and supplies, Zhou Shixiong once again reminded Ma Dengyun not to forget his orders, and then rode the special sled truck and left Sanhe City and headed towards Liangcheng.

Zhou Shixiong's sled car was particularly wide and pulled by two war horses. The speed and comfort were better than other sled car. This was built by Kuai Fu for Zhou Shixiong to thank Zhou Shixiong for his life-saving grace. Perhaps God was touched by Zhou Shixiong's hard work. Before dark, the heavy snow like goose feathers drifted down, which quickly covered and smoothed the traces left by humans.

"It seems that Ma Dengyun is still a little lucky. He doesn't have to worry about hiding his movements when this snow falls." Zhou Shixiong didn't take God's gift seriously, and only thought it was Ma Dengyun's luck. Ma Dengyun was afraid of death and only transported one day's food and withdrew it back to Jizhou. Huo Cuiguang wanted to send someone to come and transport more, but he blocked it in Jizhou City and refused to let it go, so he saved Huo Cuiguang's life in disguise.

Haoge and Oboi stayed in Tongzhou for one night, and followed his father Khan Huang Taiji's instructions very seriously and set off after dawn. When he left Tongzhou, Haoge and Oboi discussed it and felt that there was no one in the Khan tent vanguard camp, so they threw the words of being careful of the Ming army ambushing, and the whole army rushed to Sanhe City. When the two of them arrived at Liyang Town, they looked at Liyang Town where most of the houses were demolished, and they couldn't figure out who would do such a thing?

"Brother, it seems that this situation is wrong. If the Ming army attacked Sanhe City, how could it leave some of the food? Could it be that they poisoned the food?" Oboi's IQ was not much higher than Haoge. The two of them couldn't figure it out and simply didn't want to go around Sanhe City. They found that Sanhe City was worse than that of Xuanyang Town. All the houses inside were demolished, leaving only a brigade of debris and foreign objects emitting stench.

"Look for two wild dogs and try to see if there are any troubles in the food." Haoge knew the importance of the food. Before sending someone to report the message, he checked whether there was any problem with the food. After catching the wild dog for a long time, he finally confirmed that there was no problem in the storage of grain in Yaoyang Town. The result made the two even more confused. He quickly wrote an urgent report to Huang Taiji, asking him to think about what was wrong.

As for sending people to search for the people, neither of them expected this step. In order to protect the food from any problems, Haoge and Oboi led the 5,000-forward camp to station in Yaoyang Town.

The crazy pursuit that Zhou Shixiong expected did not happen at all. I didn’t know whether to thank God or Haoge and Oboi. Unfortunately, Zhou Shixiong didn’t know that no one was chasing him, and he carefully cleaned up the traces, for fear of being chased by someone. The sled convoy went south until he arrived at Liangcheng Station three days later, and no trace of Jiannu was found.

When he arrived at Liangcheng Station, Zhou Shixiong had already run to the front of the entire escape convoy. When he landed in Liangcheng Station, he frowned. This Qianhuo Office was too small, and it was the limit to let go of ten thousand people. More than 100,000 refugees would definitely not be able to stay. The most fatal thing was that the defenders of Qianhuo Office disappeared, and I don’t know if they had run away or went to the capital to serve the king. "Send orders to the convoys and let them continue to go south to Tianjin." Zhou Shixiong did not dare to let so many sled trucks block the river and immediately ordered the final destination to be changed.

Zhou Shixiong did not plan to go to Tianjin Wei. His troops were all in Shunyi City, so it would be more reliable to go back to Shunyi City. Zhou Shixiong didn't know if his Beijing Governor's brand was useful in Tianjin Wei. He wrote a hand-in-hand order to send people to Tianjin Wei, asking Tianjin Wei to send people to Beitang to receive the batch of food, grass and refugees. As for the precious items, gold, silver and jewelry, of course, they would not be kept for Tianjin Wei's people, and he would personally escort them back to Beijing.

"Mingfu, you will bring these hundred brothers to send the people and food to Tianjin Guards, and keep the news about Tianjin Guards for the time being." Zhou Shixiong left 100 soldiers who were seriously injured to Liu Liangzuo and asked him to take the people to Tianjin Guards. He led more than 1,000 central troops and guards to escort nearly 100 sled cars to the northwest. Since it had been heavy snow for two consecutive days, the sled cars could still drive on land, but it was not as easy as it was on the ice. Zhou Shixiong ordered the soldiers to ride horses to escort supplies, but the speed of the journey did not slow down much.

On the seventh day of Shunyi City, Man Gui and a group of generals observed the enemy situation on the crumbling South Gate Tower. Two huge gaps occupying a small half of the city wall, and sent a strong call to the Later Jin army. Come on, come on!

"Mr. Man, I guess Jiannu will come today. Do you have any arrangements?" Wu Weiying probably took some advantage yesterday, but there was no testimony from the head of the army. Wu Weiying didn't want to say much. She got up early this morning and thought she would fight. She was the first to ask Man Gui for a fight.

"Don't worry, Wuhou, I remember that the military books say "one drum, two drums, and two drums," I am a rough man and I don't understand literature and ink, and I believe Wuhou understands it." Man Gui couldn't say that he could not read. He had the opportunity to learn writing after becoming an official, and now he is a person who recognizes words.

"Mr. Man said that he was just one-on-one motivation and encouragement, but he was not aware of his life, but how could he have never read a book for generations?

"Yes, that's it. If Jiannu dares to attack the city, General You will be able to build the inner wall for many days. As long as you wipe out the sharpness of Jiannu, you won't let Wu Hou do it at that time." Man Gui's idea was both simple and effective. He just wanted to implement Zhou Shixiong's dragging technique and drag Jiannu under Shunyi City. If Jiannu sieges the city, use the city defense to destroy the strength and morale of Jiannu. If Jiannu doesn't attack, it's better. Everyone see who can tolerate it.

"Governor Sun and General You, today's battle mainly depends on the performance of the two. If the battle is determined, the achievements of the two masters will naturally belong to the two adults." Let the cavalry keep their strength to get the bargain, and of course the distribution of military merits should be given to the infantry more. Wu Weiying, Hei Yunlong and Xue Bao had no objection, and the three cavalry commanders only hoped that Jiannu would attack quickly.

Although Dai Shan and Amin worked together to launch the general attack, of course the entire army would not rush up. Even if the gap in Shunyi City was wider than the city gate, it would not be more than 10,000 troops. The two of them picked out two thousand elite soldiers of the Yala and mixed them into a 4,000 strong attack vanguard battalion. Heshuotu and Guermahun were commanded, and they were responsible for breaking the defense of the Ming army. The remaining troops were parked in an arrow outside the city. As long as the vanguard battalion occupied the gap, they would then press forward and take down Shunyi City in one fell swoop.

In addition to the elite soldiers, the meaning of the armored soldiers was also the meaning of the armored soldiers, which means that they were all cavalrymen with armor. Since the Ming army did not arrange troops at the gap, the first wave of attack of the Pioneer Battalion was paving the way, and used wooden boards to pounce on the gap to facilitate the cavalry behind the rear. The Ming army shot a few arrows weakly, causing single-digit casualties to the heavy armored Zhuyala, and the wooden boardwalk outside the gap was paved.

Heshuotu twisted his waist, and the tingling on his back reminded him of the humiliation he suffered yesterday, and said to Guermahun, "I'll rush first, you'll be behind you." After that, Heshuotu didn't care whether Guermahun agreed or not, and jumped into the horse as soon as he lifted the reins.
