Chapter 760: Spring Rain Jade Gate Pass
As the roof was leaking, the boat was exposed to the wind on its head. Looking at the black line that approached quickly in the sky, Cheng Qun's face slowly cooled down. "Kill the horse! Use the horse as a base!"
Liu Hanqing shook slightly, bowed his head silently, turned away, and a moment later, the sound of a roar came from the cavalry. As the officers shouted harshly, steel knives were raised, and the cavalry killed their war horses in a burst of crying.
The black line became clear in the eyes of Jinwu Guard. The flying flag of the Northern Expedition Army and the Double Wolf Flag of the Mongolian tent soldiers fluttered in the wind. About two miles away from Banqiaogou, Jamukha's 10,000 cavalrymen stopped and began to rectify the formation. The battle was about to begin.
"Beat the drum!" Cheng Qun pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted loudly.
The drum sounded, and when the shouting was accompanied by the war drum, Jamuha held the starry eyes in his left hand and three feather arrows in his right hand, and the first to rush out of the array.
The last battle in the north officially began, but at this time, Yumen Pass, far away from Yizhou, was in a quiet and peaceful state. Yumen Pass, which had just ushered in the first rain, rejuvenated its vitality. The sky in the north is always much later than in the south. Standing on the wall of Yumen Pass, you can see that the snow on the top of the mountain is still wearing it like a white felt hat on the top of the mountain. When you go down, you can see that the green color has covered the originally withered yellow earth. The new green eyes stubbornly emerged from the soil and the cracks of the rocks. The weak figure in the head happily swayed in the wind for a long winter. At this time, they sucked the rain and dew hungrily. The rain washed the earth, and the originally withered yellow earth was full of vitality...
Wan Shichang squatted on the ground, staring at the eyes of a few of the eyes that had just been exposed, with smiles in his eyes.
"Old Han, this rain is well underway. As the saying goes, chun rain is as expensive as oil. After this rain, you can start chun farming outside the pass. I think this year will be a great harvest." Wan Shichang raised Han Xiao and looked at the side.
Han Xiao smiled and said, "That's a must. The land outside the pass is fertile. I haven't planted it well for years. Now that I don't fight anymore, the people can finally farm. Lao Wan, the governor wants to step onto the Central Plains, but the more money and food, the more it is."
"I think Cheng Qun hasn't had much time at this time." Wan Shichang sighed: "It's a pity that we didn't participate in such a big show, and it's a pity that we think we're not going to participate in."
Han Xiao disagreed. The former garrison of Guangchang was a show of his performance in Han Hai's leadership of the Mongolian cavalry to raid Yizhou. He led the local town army to defend Guangchang, an important military-industry town in Yizhou. Therefore, he was appreciated by Yun Zhao and became a general of the cavalry. After the expansion, Guangchang Camp was stationed in Yumen Pass. Considering Han Xiao's lack of ability, Yun Zhao appointed Wan Shichang as the deputy general of Guangchang Camp to assist Han Xiao in guarding the first pass in the north.
Han Xiao is not the kind of person who is more aware than the sky. He is already satisfied with the garrison of a small county to become a general of the Northern Expedition Army. Han Xiao was a little scared about the battlefield. Although he finally took the battle in Guangchang, to be honest, Han Xiao was almost scared. It was an outbreak after being forced to a dead end. When he finally survived from the hellish battlefield, he would never want to experience a second such battle.
Therefore, Yun Zhao was very happy to send him to guard Yumen Pass. Yumen Pass is the largest gate in the north. It is unnecessary to say that he is garrisoning here. More importantly, Yumen Pass has lost the most basic defensive role of the largest gate in the north. The surrender of the Mongolians to the Northern Expedition Army has greatly reduced the importance of Yumen Pass. Now the garrison of Yumen Pass is more to deter some small Mongolian tribes or small groups of horse bandits who have never surrendered outside Yumen Pass. I believe that as time goes by, these small tribes and horse bandits will disappear.
Han Xiao, who had nothing to do at Yumen Pass, mobilized his soldiers and began to farm on the vast land outside the Pass and reclaimed a large amount of fields. After this chun rain, it was just enough to sow seeds.
Wan Shichang strongly opposed Han Xiao's use of the regular army to military farming, but Han Xiao was the main general. He could not resist the other party and could only discuss with him that at least half of the time must be spent on military training every month, and other times can be used for military farming.
Han Xiao actually knew his weight. He was really willing but not capable of commanding the army that had more than 10,000 people outside Yumen. Without Wan Shichang, he was afraid that he would be in trouble. So he readily agreed to Wan Shichang. One of the two focused on training the army, and the other was busy farming, each with his own place, and they got along very well.
Wan Shichang was very happy to see his eyes breaking through the ground. Han Xiao was able to work hard. In a few months, outside Yumen Pass, lush crops will grow on the large area of land that had been soaked in the blood of countless generations of Mongolians and Yue people. After autumn, Yumen Pass does not need to transport grain from Luning Mansion, and can even transport grain to the pass. This can be considered a great achievement! In one winter, Han Xiao reclaimed hundreds of thousands of acres of land.
Han Xiao's happiness was even more than Wan Shichang. He had no ambition to be a minister and a minister. He could do this and felt that he was glorious. The rest was to enjoy life well, give birth to a lot of babies, and enjoy the joy of family life. He had brought the whole family to Yumen Pass.
"Lao Wan, tell me, why did Princess Yaerdan suddenly come to us for inspection at this time?" Han Xiao was a little puzzled, "Some time ago, Mr. Wan and Mr. Yao Qian also caught fire and hurried out of the gate. What is this for?"
Wan Shichang looked at Han Xiao strangely, "I said to Lao Han, are you now spending all your thoughts on the land reclamation, and you don't have time to think about anything else?"
"What's the matter?" Han Xiao was stunned, as if he had remembered something, "You mean, it's related to the one in Eagle Beak Rock?"
"What do you think?" Wan Shichang asked back angrily. His colleague, in some ways, was really an idiot.
"In order to subdue the Mongolian tribe and marry the Mongolian Yuan, the governor agreed to marry Yaerdan as his wife. Lao Han, but you know that our governor and General Yan Miaomiao had a engagement, but something went wrong. General Yan ran away in anger, and the wedding was delayed. Now Xingling has announced the engagement between the governor and Princess Yaerdan. Tell me, what will General Yan do if he is so angry?" Wan Shichang poked the wet ground with his fingers, poking small holes out of the ground.
Han Xiao silenced. Yan Miaomiao's temper is now well-known in the Northern Army. In the northern region, no one dares not give the governor face. Only General Yan is ready for the wedding. Xingling has been busy for several months, but in the end the bride ran away. Han Xiao thought about it now, but he dared not imagine the governor's angry look.
"Then, what did Princess Nayaldan come to do? They aren't their rivals?" Han Xiao looked like a curious baby.
"What kind of person is Princess Yardan? That was the former Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty!" Wan Shichang sighed: "She is not an ordinary person, and her mind is something that we mortals can guess. I think that Princess Yardan's trip may come to resolve this grudge."
Han Xiao didn't believe it very much, "Take it serious? Lao Wan, my wife and concubines in my family always make a fuss. I am still a small general of Youqi. The two of them fought for the governor's wife. Maybe in the future..." Han Xiao lowered his voice, "Maybe the queen will be the queen in the future. Do you think they will be able to reconcile?"
Wan Shichang laughed, "I dare not say General Yan, but Princess Yardan, since she has come, she must want to calm General Yan's anger. I will say first that the minds of such characters are not something we can choose."
"Even if Princess Yardan is tolerant, General Yan, General Yan's temper is not a playful person, and his kung fu is also terrifying. Have you heard that Jiang Xu, the number one brave general of our Northern Expedition Army, was knocked down by General Yan in one move."
"It's not that exaggerating!" Wan Shichang shrugged, "I heard about this. General Yan suddenly attacked him, but later I heard General Yao and others say that when he really fights, Jiang Xu is no match. I heard Yan Xiaoyi and others say that the governor's fighting skills were all done immediately, which was learned when he was a horse bandit in Yingzuiyan. General Yan was still half the master of the governor!"
"Now, I'm worried that the two of you will meet seriously. If you have a disagreement, you will start to fight. Lao Wan, I'll tell you that this time they are on our field. No matter what happens to one, we will be finished!" Han Xiao was worried.
"The gods fight, you mortal cāo's heart, haven't you seen the person who sent the letter say that General Wu Fan also came with him? Who is General Wu Fan? That's the commander of the governor's personal guard. Why did the governor send him here? Wasn't he just guarding against this?" Wan Shichang said disdainfully, "You keep your heart in your stomach. General Wu is here. Even if there is anything, it's not our turn to push the jar."
Han Xiao was stunned and nodded repeatedly, "I feel relieved if I say yes, and if I say yes, I feel relieved."
As he spoke, Wan Shichang suddenly stood up from the ground, patted the floating soil on his body, and rubbed his hands, "Old Han, here you come!"
"Here, what's here?" Han Xiao didn't finish his sentence, and suddenly realized that this time he left the city ten miles, wasn't it just to welcome that person? He turned around suddenly and looked at the end of his sight. Teams of cavalry appeared in his eyes, and in the middle was a huge carriage pulled by four god-horse white horses.
Yaerdan arrived at Yumen Pass, and the guards guarded by the carriage were Yun Zhao's personal guards, Wu Fan. The guards guards of Yaerdan came to Yumen Pass. All the guards from Yun Zhao's personal guard camp were from Yaerdan's own guards, and she did not bring any of them.
