Volume 2 Ghost Desert Chapter 12 Xiliang Hussar Command
The loss of the forbidden army in this battle is not very large, and the forbidden army will be full in less than a month, but the Southwest Tiger Guards have suffered great losses, and it is not easy to replenish the troops in a short time, so the Southwest Tiger Guards are currently only 30,000, and the Northeast Dragon Guards have survived nearly 10,000, plus the Northeast Labor Service is only 12,000 people, and the forces here have not been redistributed. But the battalion commander level was all incorporated into the Praetorian Guard by Yang Hua.
The half-orcs broke through from the northeast frontier, so Commander Chen Ming was dismissed and could only retire in Blue City, but he was also really guilty, the war in the Northeast had nearly 50,000 dragon guards lost their lives in his hands, and let the half-orcs go straight to Blue City, so he stayed at the gate of the headquarters and never asked about it.
The reason why there is such a situation is that Yang Hua's planning, as soon as the half-orcs retreated, the forbidden army was fully staffed to Baya City, and then proposed a post-war supplementary adjustment with Baya Xintu, fortunately, Ge Shuce had already received a secret letter from Li Chuan, and the secret letter said: " Today, the government of the Purple Kingdom is divided into three parts, Yang Hua is the only one in power, His Majesty is young, and he must not conflict with it, presumably the doubts in the confidence of the Marquis of Brother Shu who received Li Chuan's secret confidence have finally been put down, Li Chuan emphasized again, my Li family is loyal to the Purple Country and supports the Baya royal family, as long as Your Majesty grows up, everything can be slowly figured out. ”
"Now that the war in the Northeast has been decided, Yang Hua will definitely make a move, as long as it does not endanger the foundation of the Purple Country, you can agree, in addition, I have already arranged for Li Si to join the forbidden army, just when the time is ripe, I will be able to take Yang Hua down in one fell swoop, before Yang Hua and his party are uprooted, do not act rashly, Li Chuan is not in Baya, and the Marquis of Geshu will take care." ”
Ge Shuhou received Li Chuan's secret letter, and he originally had a grudge against Li Chuan's position as a lieutenant of the forbidden army, but Li Chuan's letter was a thorough statement, only loyal to the Purple Country, but not loyal to His Majesty, but after thinking about it carefully, His Majesty has not yet been able to take on the great responsibility, and Li Chuan's saying this does not mean that he will not be loyal to His Majesty in the future.
Yes, Ge Shuhou agreed to Yang Hua's suggestion to increase the establishment of the forbidden army by 50,000, in order to enhance the security of the imperial capital, Ge Shuhou calculated in his heart, Baya still has 5,000 royal guards, it is not too much, and he agreed, and then handed it over to Baya Xintu to stamp the seal, and the matter of replenishment and adjustment of troops was decided.
But there are unforeseen circumstances, Xiliang urgently reported that the hussar commander who guarded Xiliang died of illness, and now the Xiliang base camp is in chaos, and this matter urgently needs Baya to make a decision.
Lu Qi returned to Blue City and first returned to Li's Mansion, but Li Chuan had already rushed to the southwest border to defend it.
At night, Yang Lin came to visit, so he naturally learned the news of Lu Qi's return, and had a secret conversation with Li Si and the others.
"Third brother, I've worked hard for you this time. Yang Lin's facial features are upright, and his skin is a little whiter than that of a woman, if it weren't for Lu Qi knowing that he was a man, he would really think he was a woman.
"Don't mention the past, drink. Lu Qi took three sips of wine in a row, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood.
In Yang Lin's eyes, he thought that he was still haunted by his report.
"Third brother, this time you were exiled to the Northeast, in fact, it was all done by your father, although he did it too much, but you can come back safely Big brother is relieved. Yang Lin explained.
"Isn't it due to the eldest brother's informant?" Lu Qi said sarcastically: "The president is wise and martial, born wise, far-sighted, morally noble, lenient to others, loyal to the Great Purple Country, wholeheartedly only for the sake of the Baya royal family, and is sincerely loved by the soldiers of the whole army, so that he can give birth to such a good-looking son, right?"
Yang Lin smiled helplessly when he heard this: "Third brother, how can I be sarcastic about my brother, I have my own difficulties, and it is inconvenient to explain to you for the time being." ”
"I won't say much and I won't ask much, I'll ask you two things," Lu Qi said coldly.
Lu Qi came back this time for only two things, one is Baya Xinyu, and the other is Baya Xinyu.
The historical record official is to record all kinds of large and small political affairs that happened in the Purple Country, as well as the things that various political officials and generals have done, and then give a certain evaluation.
Yang Lin, as a historian, naturally involves these.
Li Si interjected at this time: "Third brother, this matter has nothing to do with the eldest brother, don't shallow our brotherhood." ”
When Lu Qi heard this, he drank a few glasses of white wine and stopped talking.
"Big brother, don't care too much, he has experienced too much during this time, and you also know what kind of temperament he has, he suffered this humiliation for no reason, how can his arrogant character be willing, but today is also a drunken gaffe. Although Li Si said that he had dark skin, he really had a black face and a white face when he was a kind guy.
"Second brother, I understand this, but I never thought that my father would have such an idea, but I never had such intentions, and I hope that the second brother and third brother will believe me. Yang Lin said these words on his handsome face, because he was really worried that there would be a rift in the relationship between the three brothers.
"Big brother, you don't know what the relationship between the three of us is, we naturally believe you. Li Si hurriedly said, and continued: "I don't know how you wrote the history of the Northeast Commander this time?"
"Chen Ming, the commander of the Northeast, led an army of 60,000 to defend the Northeast, the half-orcs waved a million troops to invade the border of the Purple Country, and the Northeast commander led the army to resist the half-orcs in Wuyang, the two places of the Twin Peaks, although they were defeated in Wuyang, but the Twin Peaks blocked the half-beast army for ten days, and it was generally meritorious. But the Purple Kingdom treats the commander who has guarded the frontier for many years so coldly, and it is not easy for me to write. Yang Lin said with a wry smile.
"What does the eldest brother think of the current situation?" asked Li Si again.
"After this war, the Purple Country suffered huge losses, but fortunately, the orcs did not ask for compensation, and as long as the three northeastern provinces and Princess Xinyu were obtained, the Purple Kingdom would be able to recover in three or five years, but this battle finally made the Purple Kingdom lose face, and if the three northeastern provinces could not be recovered in the hands of the new emperor, they were afraid that the people's hearts would be lost. Yang Lin made a slight analysis.
"Big brother, little brother has something to ask for, I want to serve in the army, would you like to help me?" Lu Qi looked at Yang Lin while he was drinking.
Yang Lin was surprised when he heard Lu Qi say that he wanted to join the army, Lu Qi stayed at the gate of Blue City all the year round, and rarely communicated with people, he had never heard him say this, and Li Si also looked at him in surprise.
"Big brother, do you know what my little brother has gone through? The flames of war are burning around me, and I have watched living people die in front of me, and I can't do anything about it, I think how good it would be if I had the ability to save them. Lu Qi was a little lonely when he spoke.
"And this time I have experienced life and death, life is more important than anything else, but if you want to live well, you must have enough confidence, so I want to join the army, but I have no interest in being a big soldier, I heard that the position of commander of the Xiliang Hussar is vacant, I don't know if the eldest brother is willing to help me?"
"Third brother, do you know the situation in Xiliang? Although it is said that the hussar commander and the border commander have the same position, but Xiliang only has 8,000 Xiliang iron cavalry guards, and the Xiliang family has 36 large and small, if the Leng family and the Liang clan pacify the civil strife, only these 8,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, once they come to invade the land of Xiliang, it will be more auspicious. Yang Lin was shocked.
"Big brother, younger brother knows that although you are a small historian, I also know that you want to avoid suspicion of your father, but you are resourceful, but you have been hiding and unwilling to show it, you analyze and plan for the two brothers, and both of us know your intentions, but since I want to go to Xiliang, I am naturally prepared, and you also know that the civil strife in the Xiliang family was caused by me, so... ”
Before Lu Qi finished speaking, Li Si interrupted from the side: "So you can't go to Xiliang, if they come back to their senses and see through the plan, you will be the first target of their revenge." ”
"Second brother, this is a bad statement, the Purple Country suffered from the Northeast War, and it will not be able to recover in three or five years, if Xiliang makes trouble again, it will be even more difficult, if it is because of my Xiliang family's large-scale attack on the Purple Country, I will become a sinner. Therefore, I think that if Xiliang invades, I will only dare to use this oil head to invade the territory of Xiliang, and secondly, since I can let him have civil strife, I will naturally have a way to subdue them. Lu Qi shook his head and explained.
"I didn't expect you to be so courageous, third brother, but you are only eighteen this year, how can you be worthy of the position of hussar commander? This has never been done since the establishment of the Purple Country. Yang Lin said.
"This time is different from the past, big brother, although the position of hussar commander is still being discussed, but everyone knows that without the approval of President Yang Hua and Brother Shu Ce, the hussar commander would not have been decided so quickly. Lu Qi said another glass of wine, and continued: "But the longer this matter drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Yu Xiliang, the president leads Yang Hua to worry that it is not the person he can control who is in charge, and Brother Shu Ce of Li Guo also thinks the same way, but I am different, you also said that I am not old and embarrassed, so if you recommend me, Brother Shu Ce will not disagree, and Yang Hua will not object." ”
Seeing that Lu Qi had already thought about everything, Yang Lin was even more surprised, thinking to himself, the third brother's trip to the Northeast had become far-sighted, but he was really happy for him from the bottom of his heart, and the third brother would also be a figure in the future if he could have such an opinion.
"This matter will be proposed to me tomorrow. ”
"Thank you, big brother, happy tonight, come, do it. ”
It didn't go away until late at night when I was drunk.
When Lu Qi woke up, it was already the afternoon of the second day, he touched his head, which was still a little heavy, shook his head to get rid of sleepiness, and then remembered what he discussed with Yang Lin yesterday, I don't know how it was today.
And the two things that I wanted to ask Yang Lin yesterday were also mistaken!
Suddenly, he was told that Yang Hua and Ge Shuce did not approve of letting Lu Qi become the commander of the Xiliang Hussars, and wanted to expel him from the territory of the Purple Kingdom on the charge of returning to Beijing without permission.
Outside the Purple Country, Xiliang can't go, let alone the northeast, and the eastern temple is a good place, but how could Yang Hua let him go? As for the southwest is Li Chuan's territory, it can't let him go to enjoy the blessings, so Lu Qi was expelled from the desert outside the Yumen Pass in the north.
Lu Qi heard this bad news like a bolt from the blue, and was stunned on the spot, this is completely different from what I expected, how can my life be so bad?
Immediately wanted to question Yang Lin and Li Si, but the two disappeared out of thin air as if they couldn't find it, Lu Qi sat on the threshold of Li Mansion, sorted out his thoughts from beginning to end, and finally let him discover the shocking secret.
"It turns out that everyone treats me as a fool Lu Qi, hehe, what Blue City Sanxiu, what Purple Alliance leader, all of them are playing with me, haha, I don't wonder others, who made me Lu Qi a person who has a mother and no father since he was a child. ”
"Teasing me today, Lu Qi's humiliation will be returned a hundred times in the future!" Lu Qi's empty eyes lit up with a fierce look.
PS: The first volume of the Northeast War will bring out the main line of this book, the second volume, Lu Qi entered the ghost desert alone, what kind of adventure will there be?
