It was already broad daylight, and only my brother Xu Dalang was home. My father and mother were still setting up their defenses.
"We have wiped out this group of people, will anyone come here?" Xu Yue sat at the dinner table, looking at her brother eating rice like a starved ghost and reincarnating, and asked with her chin in her hands.
Xu Dalang swallowed the food in his mouth, then nodded and said: "Yes, it seems that he killed an unusual person. Maybe someone will come to avenge him."
"Who is it? Which one is unusual?" Xu Yue asked worriedly.
Xu Dalang recalled Sun Ji who was hacked to death by him last night, "It was the leader Qian Zong. The riders who surrendered under him said that he was Sun Miao's nephew."
"What?!" Xu Yue was startled. For a moment, she didn't know whether to say that she and others were unlucky, or lament that she and others were very lucky.
Sun Miao's nephew actually led the team to attack the scattered teams that raided the landowners in Wubao.
Okay, it's nice to get a head now, but the situation will be even more dangerous later.
Seeing his sister's worried look, Xu Dalang took a bite of rice and said:
"I have ordered people to go to the county seat this morning to investigate the situation. If the two armies have already fought, we can rest for a few days."
"But if there hasn't been a head-on confrontation, we can't rule out that Sun Miao will not personally lead a team to avenge his nephew."
Xu Yue frowned, "Is it okay to avenge private revenge? Their goal is the entire Youzhou, they should focus on the overall situation..."
Xu Dalang looked at his sister's confused appearance with no sense of military consciousness. He quickly cleaned the rice in the bowl, burped, and held Xu Yue in front of him, telling her how complicated the situation outside was now.
First of all, battles must be fought, but food must also be eaten.
The Jizhou Army marched northward with ferocity, and the Youzhou Army was not a vegetarian. They must have fully reacted by now and were immediately ready to fight back.
In ancient times, wars were fought based on command systems and information gaps.
But now, we are not in a modern era where communication is convenient.
No one knows where Sun Miao's army is now, and it will take some time for the Youzhou Army to counterattack.
During this period of time, if Sun Miao had received news of Sun Ji's death, there was an 80% chance that he would move towards Uburg.
First of all, it is very close to the county seat, and the nearby terrain is open, suitable for large-scale melee battles between many people.
Secondly, maybe they can bypass the main force of the pursuing Youzhou Army and attack Yuyang County directly.
In short, whether it is for public or private reasons, Sun Miao's main force may pass through Gongsun's Wubao.
That was a real army of thousands, which was very different from dealing with Sun Ji.
It is easy to attack Yuyang County and destroy a Uburg to increase supplies.
After listening to what his brother said, Xu Yue's heart that had just half dropped started to rise again.
Xu Erniang walked past the door holding a basin of dirty clothes that Xu Dalang had changed, and scolded in disgust:
"Xu Dalang, can you please stop being so bloody? These clothes are so dirty that I can't even use magic to clean them off!"
Of course, this statement was an exaggeration. She had already washed the clothes cleanly, but during the washing process, she was so bloody that she felt disgusted.
Xu Dalang, who knew he was in the wrong, ignored Xu Erniang's complaints, patted his sister's little head, touched her bruises from staying up all night, and simply hugged her and went to sleep together on the kang.
Seeing her brother's relaxed expression that it was nothing, Xu Yue's heart was a little calmer. In addition, she was so worried that she didn't sleep all night. She fell asleep in her brother's arms without even realizing it.
Xu Erniang looked outside and rolled her eyes angrily. She quickly dried the clothes of her father, mother, and Xu Dalang, and went back to the house to catch up on her sleep.
By the time the two sisters woke up from a deep sleep, Xu Dalang had already left.
At this time, it was already evening, and the Self-Defense Forces on the villagers did not come to summon everyone to pick up stones by the river like yesterday.
Everyone stayed at home and spent the night peacefully.
It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that a fierce cry of murder came vaguely from the direction of the county seat, and everyone was immediately agitated.
The troops sent out to explore the news galloped over on horseback and shouted:
"The Jizhou army is coming! They met the White Horse General Gongsun Zan and started a fight ten miles outside the city!"
As soon as these words came out, people in Wubao were even more panicked.
Shilipo is only two or three miles away from Wubao. What if we have to fight here?
Everyone looked at the Wang family standing on the gate tower. Even Gongsun Yan ran up in person. From the height of the gate tower, he could see at a glance the fluttering flags in the distance, as well as the louder and louder shouts of killing.
Voice.
Ever since he found out last night that Xu Dalang had brought back the head of Sun Miao's nephew Sun Ji, Gongsun Yan felt very upset.
His original intention was just to keep his own Uburg safe, and he never thought of making any contribution in this melee.
But last night was dangerous, and the situation was completely out of his control. The murderous Xu family, with their ferocious looks, was so frightened that he didn't even dare to shout out.
Fortunately, the result was good, Uburg was saved with minimal losses, and weapons, horses, and prisoners were also captured.
But before he could relax, Xu Dalang threw Sun Ji's head in front of him.
At that moment, Gongsun Yan was stunned.
Is this a thirteen-year-old boy?
Is this Xu Dalang really just a young boy?
The second brother and sister are distant relatives in the family. Why does it seem more and more wrong!
But this is not the point now. The point is the army fighting ten miles down the slope ahead.
How could he see that the Youzhou Gongsun Army's flags were missing a few more?
If Sun Miao's Yuan army were to win, then Sun Miao would not be able to directly level his little Uburg!
Gongsun Yan was a little anxious, but seeing that there was no movement from the Wang family, he couldn't help but ask:
"Mrs. Xu, are we just going to sit here and wait for death?"
The youngest son Gongsun Ye sent by the big house was also at the side, clasping his hands and looking worried.
But what he was worried about was what his father would do after the city was destroyed.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Wang.
Wang squinted her eyes slightly and looked at the huge military flag with Yuan characters fluttering in the wind in the distance, her eyes dim and unclear.
There was silence for a long time, until Gongsun Yan couldn't help but ask again. Then she withdrew her gaze, turned to look at the anxious people behind her, and spoke calmly:
"Shen Zhu!"
Shen Zhu stood up immediately at the beginning of the song, "Here you are!"
"Leave half of the troops inside the Uburg to guard the entrance, and send the other half out of the fort to set up an ambush to prevent stray soldiers from entering by mistake."
Shen Zhu nodded and immediately ordered two of his men to carry out Wang's order.
Gongsun Yan had a puzzled face and couldn't help asking Wang: "Is this feasible?"
It is better to hurry up and prepare your carriage and horses, and if the situation goes bad, escape immediately.
Of course, Gongsun Yan was embarrassed to say this directly.
Wang glanced at him lightly, then pulled the heavy wooden box on her back. Without saying a word, she turned around and strode towards the mountain.
"Mrs. Xu, where are you going?" Gongsun Yan asked urgently.
Wang's cold response came from far away in the wind:
