Chapter 52: Captured Chen Shui
In a month after Nan Juan's death, Li Xiao received the imperial title and named Li Xiao as the generalissimo of the Ling, commanding all Chen You's soldiers and horses, garrisoning Chen You, and the Ling army was lost. Rongze, Fanyang, Tianyang three cities suffered heavy losses, according to Ye Xiang's plan, ordered He Feng to cut off the Ling Army's army again, the Ling Army did not increase troops from Zixuan, because of the funeral period of Nanjuan, the human army did not march to the Ling Army, during which Li Xiao flew to the book many times, still did not get a reply, sent people to inquire about the news, and did not return.
On this day, He Dongxu ran to Chen You in embarrassment, saw Li Xiao, knelt down and cried: "Uncle Shi, Ying'er she" swallowed back halfway through the words.
Li Xiao saw He Dongxu stumbling, so he asked anxiously, "Ying'er, what's wrong with him?" β
He Dongxu wiped the tears on his face and stammered: "Ying'er, Ying'er, she was captured by the Three Spirit Army." β
Li Xiao frowned after hearing this, and asked anxiously, "Has the Three Spirit Army broken Dongning?"
He Dongxu said: "That's not it, it's just"
Li Xiao gritted his teeth and scolded in his mouth: "me, a big man, crying, talking, hurry." β
He Dongxu sniffed twice, took a breath and said: "Early this morning, I saw that the peaches had borne fruit, and the weather was very good, so I invited Ying'er to play, the two of us played in the peach garden in Dongning City, and after playing for a while, my sister felt that the garden was too small, and wanted to go out of the city to play in the water to pick peaches, I told Ying'er that I was afraid of danger, but Ying'er didn't listen, he said I" said here and paused.
Li Xiao frowned and said, "What are you talking about, don't be a mother-in-law."
He Dongxu nodded, and then said: "Ying'er said that I am a coward, not as bold as my uncle. β
When Li Xiao heard this, his heart was secretly refreshed, and he said in his heart: "You were originally a coward, when I changed you on the city wall, I found out, it seems that Ying'er still likes heroes in her heart, so I want to be a big hero." Thinking about it, I couldn't help but smile at the corner of my mouth.
He Dongxu continued: "Uncle Shi, are you listening?"
Li Xiao nodded and said, "Hurry up"
He Dongxu said: " Ying'er said that I was a coward, and I wanted to prove that I was not, so I took Ying'er out of the city, and boasted about Haikou and said, if I met the Three Spirit Army, I could also repel it and so on, but I met a small handful of Three Spirit Army not far from the city, led by a sheep-headed giant spirit, that person was very powerful, holding a short knife in his hand, and shook me far away with a flick of his hand, and then captured Ying'er, he also said to me, his name is Guhuo, and he wants to save Ying'er to let Uncle Chen Shui meet, I saw that I couldn't beat him, I didn't go back to Dongning, but came here directly to find Uncle Shiγ β
After hearing this, Li Xiao said angrily: "You are a waste, coward, what are you doing when you go out of the city, what are you boasting about." Saying that, he stretched out his hand to smoke He Dongxu, but after thinking about it: "No wonder this kid is exaggerating in front of women, it is normal, and he has done this himself" So he took his hand back.
Li Xiao said to the attendants: "Go and invite Mr. Ye and Guo Rengui, just say that there is an urgent military situation." β
Li Xiao has met Ye Xiang since he got acquainted, and he talks with Ye Xiang every day, and he has matured a lot, if this matter was put in the past, he would definitely be angry, and now he is the commander of the front line of the people's army, so he is naturally a lot more stable.
Li Xiao ordered He Dongxu to get up, and the two waited for Ye Xiang and Guo Rengui together, and before Guo Rengui entered the door, he shouted: "What's the military situation, is your mouth light, don't you want me to drink?"
When Li Xiao saw Guo Rengui enter the room, he said with a straight face: "Drink a fart wine, there is indeed a military situation, and quickly save people with me." β
Guo Rengui was puzzled: "Where did the military situation come from?
Li Xiao said: "Ying'er was captured by Guhuo, quickly go to Chenshui with me to save people, it's too late." β
Guo Rengui said: "How can you be a woman again, hey, did I say before that if you are sincere to a woman, you will be mistaken by it." β
Li Xiao glared at Guo Rengui, and said in his heart: "You are not talking to that Xiaoyao sister hotly, the two of them are mixed together, so it's okay to talk about me."
Li Xiao didn't know at this time that Guo Rengui and Sister Xiaoyao Li Mengran had a complicated relationship, sometimes good and sometimes bad, good like glue, and when bad water and fire were incompatible, these days the two are incompatible with water and fire, so Guo Rengui will say such words.
Ye Xiang walked to the door, heard the words of Li Xiao and Guo Rengui, Ye Xiang heard the attendant say that the military situation was urgent, so he hurried over, and when he heard that Li Xiao was going to save a woman, he stabilized and walked in with a smoking gun.
Ye Xiang took a puff of cigarette and said, "Who is the general going to save? How to save? Where to save people?"
Li Xiao listened to Ye Xiang's three questions and replied, "I'm going to Chen Shui to save Tian Ying, the daughter of Tian Mu, a scholar of the Cabinet University." β
Ye Xiang asked curiously, "How did the daughter of a scholar get to Chen Shui?"
He Dongxu said: "We were caught by Guhuo while playing outside Dongning City. β
Ye Xiang frowned after hearing this, looked at Li Xiao and said: "There are no people in Dongning, why are there female dependents, this woman?"
Li Xiao knew what Ye Xiang was going to say, so he said: "Mr. Ye, this woman is my sweetheart, she originally went with me to garrison Dongning, but because I was defeated in my sneak attack on Chen Shui, I was separated from me. β
Ye Xiang glanced at He Dongxu, then at Li Xiao, and said, "Why didn't the general take his sweetheart back to Chen You?" β
Guo Rengui shook his head and said: "If you want to pick it up, you have to agree with the woman, this kid is wishful thinking, he almost put his life on the line last time to save Tian Ying, and this time he came again." β
Ye Xiang didn't know why, looked at Guo Rengui and said, "Mr. Guo, what's going on?"
Guo Rengui said: "This woman is the fiancΓ©e of this He Gongzi, the two have a marriage contract for marriage, He Feng and Tian Mu have a very good relationship, and then He Feng was transferred to Dongning, and then lost his wife, Tian Ying learned that he came to Dongning to take care of their father, is it a beautiful guy." He Dongxu asked.
He Dongxu secretly glanced at Li Xiao, and seeing that Li Xiao was indifferent, he nodded and said, "What Mr. Guo said is not too much. β
Guo Rengui said again: "But the last time I remember changing people on the city wall, that girl said that she was going to marry you, General Li" General Li said that the three words were quite serious.
Li Xiao snorted and said: "Don't talk about it, hurry up and save people, it doesn't matter if it's my sweetheart or his fiancΓ©e, no one will come back, no one's is anymore, and besides, the Tian family, like your Guo family, are all important ministers who follow Emperor Han Yuan, so there is no reason not to save it." β
Guo Rengui heard Li Xiao say that they were all important ministers, so he sighed and said: "What kind of important minister am I, the Nan family and the Tian family have hereditary titles, and only my Guo family is lonely." β
Li Xiao hammered Guo Rengui and said, "Moaning without illness, how to save Ying'er now, Mr. Ye, do you want to find a way?"
Ye Xiang shook his head and said: "I don't know anything about Chen Shui's situation, so I can only improvise, the general will count some soldiers and horses, let's go to Chen Shui." β
