Chapter 153: Bloody Return

It snowed for two nights and one day, and the entire capital was covered in snow.

The sky was only a faint light, and the snow that had been shoveled on both sides of the street had accumulated into thick snowdrifts, and new snowflakes had fallen on them, forming ice piles of different shapes.

Thick ice cubes hang on the eaves of the treetops, which reflect colorful light when the morning glow shines.

The weather was cold, the shops were all open late, only a few breakfast stalls were open, and there were many early risers.

When the sound of horses' hooves sounded from the north gate, a group of guests sitting in the shop for breakfast were talking about the latest gossip in the capital.

The crisp sound of horses' hooves mixed with the sound of heavy wheels grinding against the road made everyone look at each other unconsciously.

From the north gate, in the early morning mist, a team of people slowly appeared.

At the head was a tall knight, covered in red armor, holding a spear, and his bright red cloak swaying slightly in the wind, like a flame, and like a thick blood congealing.

The chilling murderous aura makes people feel like their hearts are suffocated just by looking at it.

I couldn't help it, so I quickly looked away.

Then I saw behind me, in the middle of two columns of red-armored knights, the prisoner cart.

The prisoner cart was made of rough steel, and inside sat a big man with a beard, whose animal clothes were already a little tattered, but his eyes were still red.

"Yes, it's a Rouran person!"

After someone shouted, someone else shouted, "It's General Qin!" ”

"General Qin has sent the captives into the city!"

The customers in the stalls poured out, leaning on the side of the road and watching excitedly.

Rouran and the State of Chu have fought for more than a hundred years, and this time Mobei won such a big victory for the first time, and he also captured the prince of the Rouran people!

With a sweep of his eyes, Qin Qi slowed down his horse's pace, retreated to the side of the prisoner car, and said sarcastically: "I sent you to the capital safely, but I don't know how long you can live." ”

What he said was soft, and the big man was shocked when he heard it, and he raised his head and said, "You actually understand our words!" ”

It's so treacherous! He always thought he didn't know, so when he connected with people, he said soft words!

Did he listen to it all!

The big man's face suddenly turned pale.

No wonder, the three carjackings arranged along the way were all avoided by him!

Qin Qi chuckled lightly and said, "One last chance, tell me everything you know, and I can still keep you from dying." ”

Dahan turned his head hatefully and said, "I don't need you, naturally someone will save me!" ”

Qin Qi smiled lightly, pinched the horse's belly, and said, "Go faster, after the errand, let's go eat hot too." ”

The soldiers answered, and the prisoner cart whipped a whip, and a group of people quickly headed for the yamen of the military headquarters.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the yamen of the Ministry of War, he saw the palace envoy Chang Gonggong coming in a hurry, and when he saw Qin Qi, he smiled and said, "General Qin!" ”

Qin Qi took off his helmet and turned over and dismounted, and wanted to hand over his hands, but he greeted Chang Gonggong and said, "Chang Gonggong." ”

"It's been a hard journey, the emperor just received the news, and he postponed the time to disperse the dynasty and ordered me to welcome the general to the court." Chang Gonggong's voice turned low, and he said softly: "The emperor already knows that it is not safe for you to go along the way, and he is very happy to know that the general has arrived, and today, he will be rewarded." ”

Qin Qi also lowered his voice and said, "Thank you father-in-law for your kind words." ”

According to his intentions, he wanted to take everything out of the mouth of this second prince in Mobei, but Chu Yu gave two orders in a row for him to send prisoners to Beijing to show his national prestige.

But obviously some people did not want the second prince to go to Beijing, along the way, he arranged two teams of stand-ins, dodged the trap three times, and was attacked more than a hundred miles ahead, so he simply hurried overnight and entered the city directly when the city gate was opened.

What kind of grand ceremony Chu Yu asked for, entering the city at an auspicious time, cheering all over the city, he couldn't care about it.

If the second prince wants to die at his hands, he will have to be ginseng, and if he dies in the capital, it has nothing to do with him.

Anyway, everything he wanted to know, he already knew.

"Then the general will go to court with me." Chang Gonggong turned around and left.

"That, father-in-law, I still have blood on my body, wait for me to change my clothes?" Qin Qi looked at his body and said with a smile.

"It's okay, just wipe it, wait for the general to explain directly to the court, someone wants to intercept and kill the prisoner car, and the general is bloody." Grandpa Chang glanced at the blood stains splashed with armor and said with a smile.

Otherwise, if there is no imaginary canon, Chu Yu will have a diaphragm in his heart.

Bringing this body of blood and wind and frost to the court, although it will scare some people, but it can show that Qin Qi has had a hard time returning all the way, and Chu Yu will inevitably increase the reward.

"So, thank you, father-in-law." Qin Qi hugged his fists and saluted, then turned over and followed Chang Gonggong to the palace gallop.

"By the way, General Qin may not know that the emperor conferred a seal on General Gu in the court the day before yesterday and sealed General Gu as the Duke of the Kingdom."

In the cold wind, the two horses were close to each other, and Chang Gonggong's voice was not high, enough for Qin Qi to hear.

"Later, the emperor ordered General Gu to pay the money from the raid of the Marquis of Huibei's mansion, and the court was arguing very much at that time, so General Gu made a military order."

"Military orders?" Qin Qi asked.

"Yes, yes, next year's military salary, will use the money after the sale of all the things that the Marquis of Huibei stole this time, he will find his own way to find a way to do less, and the more will also belong to him, if the military salary is insufficient and the soldiers mutiny, he will come to see him." Father-in-law Chang sighed: "General Gu, you are still too young and too anxious. ”

Qin Qi's brows furrowed unconsciously.

Gu Mohan wanted to use the money from Huibei Hou's family to pay the military salary, he knew and agreed.

But the military order ......

If the soldiers mutiny, if someone has a heart to do something inside, it will be a military salary, and it will be produced.

"General Qin, the emperor has always felt that there are too many border troops, you are in Mobei, you can prepare early." Chang Gonggong leaned slightly, moved closer to Qin Qi, and said in a low voice.

Qin Qi helped him up, and a finger-sized gem slipped into Chang's father-in-law's hand, and said softly: "Thank you, father-in-law, Qin remembered." ”

Mobei has a garrison of 100,000 in name, but in fact it is only 70,000, all of which are the old subordinates of the Marquis of Huibei, of which 20,000 followed the prince of Huibei Hou to open the door, and the other 50,000, when the city of Mobei was in turmoil, he first did not move in the camp, and then when he led the troops to attack, he went out of the camp to assist Luo Zhan.

The person who followed the son, he and Luo Zhan directly killed the enemy on the spot, and the rest of them did not move for the time being.

The emperor's decree was that Luo Zhan would go to Qinzhou, and the 30,000 soldiers he brought would stay in Mobei, and then transfer 50,000 troops from General Ye of the Northwest Army, and add 50,000 new soldiers, a total of 130,000 people.

Those recruits, he has never figured out that the emperor meant to re-recruit, or the original 50,000.

If it was the original 50,000, he would rather disband those people on the spot than worry that someone would break into his tent at night.

If the emperor has this in mind, it is the best!
