Chapter 791: Pursuing Separately
Chapter 791: Pursuing Separately
The Chu family regards Nuan Yu as a family.
The atmosphere of caring for each other and protecting each other, he occasionally envies. That's what relatives do, General Chu Xiao, like a real father, not Qi Ling, left a pair of children in the capital, and led his own troops to conquer the world.
After all, the capital is full of Qi Jun's eyes and ears.
Once the identity of Nuan Yu or Qi Yan is revealed......
Wei Chen really couldn't imagine how Qi Ling was willing to give up? What he cared about the most shouldn't it be Nuan Yu, Qi Yan, and his closest relative?
The world, the community, is really that important.
If one day, you will win the world, but you will lose your loved ones.
Is it possible to make up for the pain of losing his dearest children by sitting on the dragon chair for a lifetime? Wei Chen thinks that Qi Ling's actions are not prioritized, and the cart is turned upside down.
Both of them are stubborn, and they are both used to controlling, and their temperaments are a little unruly, it is really difficult to listen to one to listen to the other, and it is not a good result to part ways like this, at least for Wei Chen, he can deal with Qi Ling so calmly, which is already a very good temper.
The so-called words are not speculative for more than half a sentence.
Qi Ling had a gloomy face and left quietly as he had come.
Wei Chen knew that he must be chasing General Zhong. He made General Zhong Lao the vanguard, which was indeed intended to restrain Qi Ling.
He is now accompanied by people from the imperial court. Now in the hearts of these people, it is difficult to define whether the rebels in Huaiyang Dao are good or bad. After this battle, all the soldiers were very tired physically and mentally, and they had long lost the fighting spirit when they came, and it became their most hopeful thing to return to the capital safely. Therefore, not only did not everyone complain about the fast march and hurried away, but felt more and more like an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.
At this time, there are still more than 300 miles away from the capital, and you can enter Beijing in four or five days.
At the same time, there are more and more displaced people.
The soldiers often saw the roadside with their eyes open, and looked at their people pitifully. A lot of people can't eat it. Many soldiers saved their rations and used them to help the homeless, but it was still a drop in the bucket.
Vice General Yu is a cold-faced and cold-hearted man.
The reason why he fled overnight was not because of Xia Yan's inaction, but because he felt that there was no way out by Xia Yan's side.
And at that time, it was a good opportunity, he took the opportunity to leave, and there was an excuse to return to Wei Chen.
Unlike Xia Yan, the rumors about Wei Chen in the capital were collected by Deputy General Yu, and then screened, and finally determined that Wei Chen was a big thing, and there were obviously more opportunities to follow Wei Chen than following Xia Yan's side. In addition, Wei Chen married Miss Chu, and Vice General Yu admired General Chu since he was a child, so Deputy General Yu did not hesitate too much, and returned to Wei Chen with his henchmen.
Like Vice Admiral Yu, he pays attention to personal interests in everything.
Half of the food should be saved for each meal.
He looked at the homeless people on both sides of the road, some of them were pulling their families, some were alone, all of them were pale, and their eyes were full of loneliness, as if people were walking towards the end of their lives step by step. He couldn't help but ask Wei Chen, why Qi Jun didn't open a warehouse to release grain, and the treasury didn't allocate money for disaster relief, but watched tens of thousands of people leave their homes and finally die in a foreign land.
Wei Chen smiled coldly.
gave the answer, not that Qi Jun didn't want to open a warehouse to release grain, and didn't want to allocate silver for disaster relief, but that there was no grain in the granary and no silver in the treasury.
On weekdays, the courtiers all looked like dogs, with a look of being the pillars of the Qi country, standing in the main hall, saying plausible truths. Once the real character is moved, it becomes a turtle with a shrunken head.
The grain in the granary was bought and sold privately by corrupt officials eight times out of ten.
I was about to open the warehouse to release grain, but I found that there was not a single grain of rice in the warehouse. And the officials bite each other, and everyone says that they are wronged.
When the treasury usually collects money, it is conscientious. As soon as the silver is about to be used, I start to cry about poverty, which palace has been built this year, and how many new treasures have been added. In short, there is no silver. After listening to this, Deputy General Yu was silent for a long time. Then he even said, what is the use of such a court.
Wei Chen glanced at Deputy General Yu in surprise.
"My lord, although my subordinates are anxious for quick success and want to live a rich life, if the people are dead. The country is no longer a country, where is there a rich life to live. No matter what the adults do, their subordinates will swear allegiance to the death. The subordinates can see that adults do great things...... I just ask my lord to entrust his subordinates with important tasks. ”
Wei Chen didn't nod or shake his head.
Vice General Yu seemed to have received Wei Chen's promise. I started to do things more and more conscientiously.
Compared with Wei Chen's people, Xia Yan's footsteps are faster...... When he was about to escape from Huaiyang Road, he happened to meet the six princes who traveled all the way from the capital. The six princes got the hint of Queen Xia, and they were not in a hurry along the way. It took more than ten days to reach the border of Huaiyang Road.
happened to meet Xia Yan.
And it was Xia Yan who was running for his life, you can imagine how embarrassed Xia Yan was at that time.
Vice General Wang disappeared inexplicably. Vice Admiral Wang slept on the low couch, leaving a large blood stain. This frightened Xia Yan and began to rush desperately, and the soldiers who fled with him were so tired that they almost vomited blood. Xia Yan and a few small leaders had horses to travel, but most of the soldiers did not.
But Xia Yan didn't care about the soldiers at all.
When they met Qi Tianshuo, the soldiers ran away and abandoned their armor......
Queen Xia originally made a wishful thinking to let Qi Tianshuo choose a ready-made credit, but now she had to return to Beijing with Xia Yan to restore her life.
Collect the penalty together.
Xia Yan left two days earlier than Wei Chen, and his marching speed was faster than Wei Chen.
Behind Xia Yan, General Zhong Lao and others chased and beat fiercely.
General Zhong Lao said that Xia Yan was murderous and hurtful, and several women in Huaiyang Road were killed. He is avenging the people under his rule.
Along the way, instead of attracting the common hatred of the people, they were faintly praised.
The people of Huaiyang Road injured a few people, so they took the people and horses to chase after them and asked for an explanation. But they were displaced, and no one paid attention to them.
Looking at Xia Yan and the others, the generals rode horses, but they didn't care about the soldiers at the bottom......
Someone saw the soldier vomiting blood as he ran, and was eventually thrown on the side of the road and left uncollected. Looking at the people and horses of Huaiyang Road again, they are neatly dressed, the soldiers are solemn, the cavalry is in front, the infantry is behind, the steps are neat, and there is no panic. Moreover, the people who came out of Huaiyang were also very generous, and they rescued the suffering along the way, and they gave more than a dozen cars of alms just for food......
Comparing the two, who is good and who is evil.
Wei Chen took the men and horses and walked another way. deliberately staggered with General Zhong Lao and others.
The route of General Zhong Lao and others was set by him. Even Qi Ling couldn't choose a more suitable path than that route.
When Wei Chen was still three days away from the capital.
Xia Yan finally entered the city......
