Chapter 163 The fifth day of the city closure

Although on the way back to Chang'an, he met people sent by Liang Cheng and had already learned about the situation of Chang'an City, but when he rushed to the Mingde Gate and saw the melee, blood, corpses and the closed city gate with his own eyes, Yan Sheng was even more flustered than he imagined.Even though he was well prepared and understood Yan Qiuer's intentions, Yan Sheng's heartbeat accelerated in panic, and even breathing became difficult for a while.

This is Chang'an City, the place where he and Qiu'er really met and fell in love, and their home, but now the gate of Chang'an City is closed, the city is full of diseases, he can't get in, and outside the city is blood flowing like rivers , Qiuer can't get out.The roar of war drums behind him was in stark contrast to the dead silence on the other side of the city gate, but both sides were walking on thin ice.

This is the fifth day of the closure of Chang'an City. The fighting outside Chang'an City has lasted for a day and a night. Fifteen's calm and composed command really pushed King Huai'an's rebel army back two miles, forcing King Huai'an to send out a signal to inform the reinforcements that he thought he didn't need to show up.

Yan Sheng and his entourage came from the north. When Teng Yu saw that the troops on both sides were fighting, he immediately led the [-] elite soldiers they had brought directly into the rebel army without asking why, while Yan Sheng led the team of Yan Sheng. The family's caravan hurried to the edge of the city gate, where the tense Yan family gathered.

"Aniang, how are you doing?" Yan Sheng got off his horse and strode up to Mrs. Yan with distressed, annoyed, and guilty eyes.

Mrs. Yan was more energetic than the rest of the Yan family. When she saw Yan Sheng, she joked, "As the head of the Yan family, I'm not afraid that Qiu'er will dislike you if you put on such a worthless appearance."

"Qiuer will not." Yan Sheng retorted, and then checked Mrs. Yan from head to toe, from inside to outside, and after confirming that Mrs. Yan was really fine, he was relieved and turned to look at other people Except for the two women, Xiao Niang and Yan Fusheng, who were a little tired, the rest of the people seemed a little tired, and there were some wounded people that Yan Sheng didn't know at all.

Yan Sheng heaved a sigh of relief, and asked Liang Cheng, "How is the situation?"

Finally seeing Yan Sheng, Liang Cheng, who had been worried all the time, finally found the backbone, walked up to Yan Sheng and replied, "My lord, fortunately, there is the former prince's dark guard camp to support, but 100 people lasted for a day and a night, although the The rebels forced back two miles, but lost nearly half of their members."

100 people fought against an army for a day and a night before losing nearly half of the members?Even if he doesn't understand military affairs, Yan Sheng knows what this data represents.

But that's not his concern.

"How's the situation in town?"

Liang Cheng frowned slightly, his face became a little ugly, and said: "Five days ago when His Majesty ordered the closure of the city, he talked with Mr. Wulang, and he told Mr. Wulang that the Yan family will stand outside the city gate as a backup support force, and they can mobilize people from all over the city at any time. Grain, grass and medicinal materials, but... But it has been five days, but Mr. Wulang has never come to the gate of the city again. Someone else has, but Mr. Wulang said that except himself, the rest of the people will ignore the rumors, so his subordinates It was all perfunctory."

After pondering for a moment, Yan Sheng nodded and said, "Since Qiuer asked you to do that, you should do it." But after five days, there is still no prescription to cure the disease?What is Qianwu doing?

Liang Cheng thought for a while, and then said to Yan Sheng: "My lord, Yan Xun is guarding the city wall. If my lord wants to know the situation in the city, maybe I can ask Yan Xun."

Yan Sheng nodded, and immediately raised his breath and leaped onto the wall.

Yan Xun has been guarding Fifteen's side all day and night. Although he doesn't know who this group of black-clothed men who suddenly appeared, since they are not helping the rebels, they are their friends, and they have been observing for a while. Later, Yan Xun discovered that the person code-named Fifteen seemed to be the commander, so he stood by Fifteen's side and blocked the sneak attacks from the rebels for Fifteen several times.Yan Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yan Sheng and Teng Yu.

Suddenly seeing Yan Sheng squatting on the top of the wall, Yan Xun smiled as if he had expected it: "You are back, don't squat on the top of the wall, you will easily become a target."

Yan Sheng jumped off the wall as he said, and asked Yan for a pair of bows and arrows. He set up the bow and shot arrows as if playing, and shot random arrows into the rebels. Yan Sheng didn't care whether he hit or missed.

"How's the situation in the city?" Yan Sheng asked Yan Xun while playing.

Yan Xun gave Yan Sheng a white look, and said, "I told you, don't waste my weapons if you're unhappy, okay? In the state of lockdown, even weapons can only be used in stock."

Yan Sheng continued to play casually. Although it was a game, he still had an [-]% hit rate.

"Don't talk nonsense, how is the city?"

Yan Xun could only reply: "It's not good, the situation is very bad."

Yan Sheng's heart trembled, and the arrow missed.

"Be more specific."

Yan Xun looked at the missed arrow and was extremely surprised.

Although he noticed and heard about Yan Sheng and Yan Qiuer, but because he was too busy, he hadn't seen these two for a long time. Yan Xun never thought that Yan Qiuer's safety could shake Yan Sheng's heart.

You must know that Yan Sheng was the kind of person who at the age of 14 even brought a caravan of 30 people and was surrounded by two hundred bandits, he was still calm and could negotiate with the other party calmly. Bad and heartbroken?And still shaken so obviously?Yan Xun suddenly felt that if he could see Yan Sheng like this, he would die without regret.

However, he was surprised, and Yan Xun didn't want to make Yan Sheng worry too much, so he said: "Actually, the ghost doctor Qianwu who was next to Qiu'er studied the disease clearly with the medical officials in the palace three days ago. Over the past few days, the ghost doctor and the medical officers have prepared a few doses of medicine, but they are of no use at all, not to mention a cure, they can't even relieve the symptoms.

The spread of the epidemic is faster than expected, and now it has spread to less than half of Chang'an City. Even though it is still orderly under the leadership of His Highness the Ninth Prince, it is inevitable that people will panic, especially ordinary people. The law and order on the street seems to have deteriorated recently. up.

When I was standing on the city wall yesterday, I saw Mr. Wulang beating someone on Zhuque Street.Mr. Wulang can beat people with his hands, so he must be exhausted physically and mentally. "

After finishing speaking, Yan Xun looked carefully at Yan Sheng's expression, but he couldn't see the slightest wavering.Yan Xun really couldn't guess what Yan Sheng was thinking.

After thinking for a while, Yan Sheng said again: "There is no shortage of food, grass or medicine in the city, but people are panicking, right?"

"Hmm...that's it." Yan Xun looked at Yan Sheng puzzled, the situation was like this, so what?

Yan Sheng handed back the bow and arrow to Yan Xun, jumped up to the wall again, and said: "I feel uneasy because I think that one day, one day, I will run out of food, what should I do? One day, I will run out of medicinal materials? Because Thinking about the future, that's why I'm worried. Tell this to Qiu'er." After speaking, Yan Sheng jumped off the city wall.

one day?Yan Xun pondered these four words over and over again, and then suddenly realized.He couldn't leave the city wall by himself, so he immediately sent someone to look for Yan Qiuer, so that he could tell Yan Qiuer what Yan Sheng said.

After landing, Yan Sheng immediately found Liang Cheng and asked, "Where is the nearest granary of the Yan family?"

Liang Cheng carefully calculated the distance from each place to Chang'an City, and then replied: "If it is the granary of the Yan family, it should be in Puzhou, but the official granary seems to be located thirty miles northeast of Chang'an City."

"How do you open the official granary?" Liang Cheng didn't know what to say, so Yan Sheng was very puzzled by Liang Cheng's words.

Liang Cheng smiled slightly, and said: "The third lady has the token of the first prince in her hand."

Yan Sheng thought for a moment, then said: "Forget it, let someone go to Puzhou to fetch food for Yan's family. It doesn't need to be much, as long as the people trapped in the city know that they will not run out of food."

Liang Cheng responded immediately: "The subordinate immediately sent a letter to Xu Lei."

Yan Sheng stopped Liang Cheng, saying: "Don't use the eagle, even if it won't spread." Saying this, Yan Sheng looked at King Huai'an who was sitting on the horse for a whole day and night.

Liang Cheng followed Yan Sheng's gaze and immediately understood what Yan Sheng meant, but...

"My lord, I'm afraid our people won't be able to get out..."

Yan Sheng turned his head to look at Liang Cheng, the corner of his mouth suddenly raised, and said: "Is there any place in this world that the Yan family caravan wants to go but can't go? Send someone to Luoyang to inform Xu Lei, hurry up, I will only give them five In a few days, five days later, I want to see with my own eyes the grain and grass brought from Puzhou." After saying that, Yan Sheng turned away and went to look for Mrs. Yan.

Liang Cheng was stunned for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing.

They asked their people to break through the siege of the regular army and go to Luoyang to deliver the letter, and then Xu Lei issued an order to the Puzhou grain depot, and then the Yan family caravan in Puzhou sent the grain to Luoyang. Yansheng only gave them five for such a difficult process. days?Sure enough, such a wayward Yan Sheng makes people feel at ease!

So Liang Cheng didn't refute or persuade, and immediately arranged for people to break through the siege.

The battle in front of the city gate lasted for three hours, and King Huai'an was forced to order a retreat, and he retreated ten miles away.

Although it is good to pursue the victory, if this opportunity is missed, King Huai'an's reinforcements will probably arrive soon.

But Teng Yu only brought 1000 people with him. Facing the well-prepared Huai'an King, Teng Yu was not sure of victory. If a small trap appeared in front of him, it would be enough to wipe out their entire army.

Secondly, Teng Yu also wanted to take a long line to catch big fish. There must be many generals colluding with the King of Huai'an. Now he only saw three, and the remaining ones must not be allowed to escape!

Left and right met the messengers of the Yan family before, and they also made some arrangements, which delayed the time and helped to perfect their arrangements.So Teng Yu didn't order the pursuit, and after he arranged for people to clean up the battlefield, he took the rest of the people and set up camp one mile in front of Mingde Gate, making a temporary camp.

The day finally passed peacefully.
