Chapter 57 Small talk

?Qizhou Prefecture governs the outskirts of Qichang City. The Zhou and Chen armies were still confronting each other from north to south. The Chen army, who had been anxious and striving to attack the city, was exhausted in almost two days. Now, somehow, they stayed silently in the wilderness outside the south suburbs of the city.

The Zhou army, who had been rushing to Qichang to support, was no longer energetic. They stayed in the camp outside the east side of the city and seemed to be closing their eyes and resting. They had no other actions except sending cavalry south from time to time to test.

At the top of Qichang City, several defenders were chatting against the wall. After experiencing the previous ups and downs, they almost "see through the world", so now they have a cold look at the calm battle situation outside the city.

It is a waste of meritorious service in war and rewards. Being able to survive is the greatest benefit. Everyone is now hoping that the enemy and us will continue to consume this way and wait for Chen’s army to use up all the food and supplies to retreat. That will make everyone happy.

No need to fight face to face anymore, wouldn’t it be great if everyone goes back to their own house?

Seeing that the generals were far away from them, they continued to chat, and the topic was about what happened recently: a group of reinforcements came to the camp yesterday. Some people said that the soldiers called a young man in the leadership to be the "Envoy Yuwen".

"Envoy Yuwen? Which Envoy Yuwen?" asked the man who was not good at using his brain. Now there are only three high-ranking officials named Yuwen on the territory of Shannan and Jiangbei, including Envoy Yuwen and Envoy Xiaoyuwen. He couldn't figure out whether others were talking about big or small.

"Of course it's Xiao Yuwen Envoy! He is next door to Bazhou, and Dayuwen Envoy is far away in Xiangzhou." Someone sneered. Bazhou borders west of Qizhou, and it is Xiao Yuwen Envoy who rushed over in a short time.

"Is it the one-legged bronze man Yuwen Wen? What did he do when he came to Qichang?"

"What are you doing? This little Yuwen envoy made Chen Jun in Jiangnan so anxious to jump over the wall and cross the river to our Qichang to siege the city. He must have come to redeem his sins."

"The reinforcements a few days ago have made meritorious contributions. What are he doing now? Could it be that he is here to grab the credit?"

When they were idle, these defenders talked about Xiao Yuwen's envoy. The only person who the people knew about the three high-ranking officials surnamed Yuwen was the "Decisive Battle at the Top of Xiyang" Bazhou Governor Yuwen. As for the other two, they only knew their official positions but did not know the specific names. The one who was the most famous among the people outside the official was naturally the "one-legged bronze man Yuwen Wen".

The rebellion that occurred in Xiyang City, Bazhou Prefecture, on New Year's Eve has long been quelled. The story that the people talked about the most is the "decisive battle at the top of Xiyang". The governor of Bazhou Yuwen and King Chen Shuling of Chen Guoshixing. The one-legged bronze man was rude to the three-point true dragon energy. The name "Yuwen Wen" was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people.

What is the name of Yuwen Xingtai? I don’t know. What is the name of Dayu Wenjun? I don’t know. What is the name of Xiaoyu Wenjun? Yuwen Wen!

Speaking of Yuwen Wen, everyone was excited. It is said that the former name of the second son of the Yuwen family was "Yuwen Evil Wolf". In July last year, in Jiangling, the capital of Liang Kingdom, he was so brave that he was so brave that he was chasing his sword and causing "blood to flow into a river". He was stopped and "drawing his sword and slashing it randomly" made it "blood flowing into a river". It was really outrageous.

Then at the end of the year, this person went to Bazhou to be the envoy. Everyone thought that the people of Bazhou would be destroyed and their families were destroyed and the people were living in poverty. As a result, the "Yuwen Evil Wolf" actually became a good official as if he had changed his personal life.

Not only is it to eliminate the accumulated corruption and rectify the administration, but to make the case clear. This is not a rumor that follows the crowd but a real thing. There are many relatives and friends between the two states bordering Qizhou and Bazhou, so they are well-informed. They all know the changes in Bazhou are real.

Therefore, many people say that the story of "decisive battle at the top of Xiyang" on New Year's Eve is not believed, but in fact they have become the disseminators of the story and enjoy it. The prefectures in Jiangbei are just ordinary and can easily produce a "celebrity" that doesn't promote it well. Under the spontaneous publicity of the people, the name "One-legged bronze man Yuwen Wen" has accelerated its spread to the surrounding areas.

This Xiao Yuwen envoy is a master who likes to make trouble. Later, he said that there must be snails where there are insects in the water. As long as the snail is destroyed, it can prevent bulging and bloating. The Bazhou Prefecture Ya sent people to collect quicklime everywhere to transport it to Xiyang County. It is said that pouring quicklime on the ditch pond and deserted beaches can destroy snails.

In the beginning of spring, Bazhou also launched a curved plow for arable land. There are also methods of transplanting rice seedlings that make people dazzled. Before everyone could react, they made new trends.

When collecting piglets, as long as they are healthy piglets, the piglets also come to Qizhou to walk around. Many families in Qichang City also sell the extra piglets in their homes and make a lot of money. It is said that Xiao Yuwen envoy built a pig farm outside Xiyang City with thousands of piglets. Everyone calls this one "Pig Tai Sui".

This pig Tai Sui was indeed "Tai Sui". Later, he stirred up the Chen Kingdom in Jiangnan. In April, the war was not satisfied and he led his troops south not long ago. Chen Jun was very upset by the attack but was helpless. In the end, Chen Jun had no choice but to come to Qi Chang for bad luck.

"So, this Xiao Yuwen envoy came to Qi Chang because he felt guilty about coming to help the war." Someone expressed his opinion, and the group of people talked for a long time naturally couldn't explain it. In the end, he still felt that he should treat Yuwen Wen, who led the troops to reinforce Qi Chang with kindness.

Chen Jun, who was across the river in Wuchang, probably wanted to take revenge by the river. Yuwen envoy was not at home to defend, but instead came to Qi Chang to help. Who would get the benefits of such a kind-hearted good neighbor?

"Will this be a sound of attacking the west?" Someone expressed his concern again. He was worried that in order to deal with Yuwen Wen of Bazhou, Chen State deliberately attacked Qizhou, and used this to mobilize Bazhou's troops to aid, and then took advantage of the empty troops of Bazhou to cross the river from Wuchang to the north. If Xiyang City was besieged, it would be a bad idea.

"Didn't the navy control the river? Chen Jun has no courage to come over. I think the envoys have already considered it, so let's not worry about it."

Someone saw that after chatting for a long time, no one came to stop him, so he became more courageous and whispered a secret: Last night, he found something outside the city when he was at night at the city. It seemed that there were troops and horses in the official camp outside the east suburbs of the city were mobilized at night.

"I saw a large group of people mobilized through the moonlight." The man said mysteriously, "Without ignition, he set out toward the east!"

"East? Whatever they go to the east is all mountains. There is no way to go if they want to surround Chen Jun in the south..."

The north of Qizhou is Yizhou, and the north is the Dabie Mountains. The east of Qizhou is the remnant line of the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains. If you walk the official road between the mountains and go east, the only thing you can reach is Jinzhou in the east, which is the territory of the Hezhou General Administration of the Sui State.

The mountain road that advances eastward cannot turn south halfway, so it is impossible for the official army to send troops to the eastward mountain road to encircle the Chenjun camp in the south suburbs of Qichang City.

Starting from Qichang, you can go directly to Guangning in the southeast through the southeast direction of the city. Guangning is located on the edge of the Yangtze River and was ruled by Qizhou. Two years ago, during the melee of Zhou State, it was taken away by Jinzhou in the east. No matter what, if you want to encircle the Chen army and go east, it would be a delusion unless you deal with the Sui army in Jinzhou.
