Chapter 81: General with Broken Sleeves?
The west wind was howling, and Twilight sat in the pavilion, her face cold.
Yuan Xiu smiled angrily and shouted at the soldiers who wanted to leave: "What didn't you see? Get back! ”
"Didn't see anything!" The soldier's head shook like a rattle, but he didn't come to the pavilion, and as soon as Yuan Xiu shouted, he retreated further.
"Your general is showing me the piece of meat missing from his leg." Twilight covered with frost and stood up.
"Oh, that piece of meat." The soldier was stunned for a moment in the distance, subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the pavilion, then lowered his head again, and thought in pieces, "I didn't see anything!" I didn't see anything......"
Twilight Qing's face turned black again, and he glanced at Yuan Xiu angrily, where did he pick up his own soldiers, he was really stunned!
Yuan Xiu's face was also a little blue, and he smiled awkwardly at Du Qing, and shouted at the pro-soldier: "You are stunned! Mallet get back! What did you just report? ”
"Huh? What's the report? Belch...... What was reported, what was reported, what was reported, ......" The soldier was stunned for a long time, and he couldn't remember what he was reporting for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he sighed, and said from afar, "Report to the general!" Xiao Zheng's head and hands and feet have been found, Taozi has no news, and he is still looking for it! ”
Xiao Zheng was killed in the gang head camp, and the generals guessed that the burial place should not be far from the gang head camp, so they dug the gang head camp three feet into the ground and turned it over, and found it under the firewood pile in the corner of the firewood house, and when the head was dug up, the scene was ...... Don't mention it!
The people in the battalion said that they heard the sound of chopping wood in the backyard the night before, and sometimes there was too much work to do on any day, and there were often things about chopping wood at night, so no one cared. Xiao Zheng was divided into corpses in the gang leader camp, and the group of gang leaders almost blew up the camp, and they were searching for Yan Hao with the army at this time.
As soon as Yuan Xiu heard that it was Xiao Zheng's matter, his eyebrows sank. In the army, they only knew that Hu Yanhao had infiltrated Guancheng and killed people, but they didn't know that he might disguise himself as someone around him. If this matter was known to the officers and men in the army, it was inevitable that everyone would be suspicious and confused, so he strictly banned the matter and only searched for the person first. He already had a plan in his heart to let Yanhao go out of the city, so he just waited tonight to discuss with the old general and explain some future city defense matters.
"Send those who find them to the mourning hall, and continue to look for those who don't find them!"
"Yes!" The pro-soldier got the order, held the military fist and shouted, habitually raised his head, glimpsed the pavilion in the middle of the scene and lowered his head again, hurriedly retreated, and listened to him chatter there all the way, "I didn't see it, I didn't see it......"
Yuan Xiu picked up the wine jug on the table and threw it at the soldier, "Shut your mouth!" ”
With a bang, the jug hit the ground, and the soldier jumped away and ran away with a puff of smoke.
Can't blame him for thinking too much, the scene in the pavilion is too eye-catching-the general stood in front of General Yingrui, stripped down to only a pair of obscene pants, Yingrui sat down, staring at the general's ......
Cough!
I didn't expect the general to be so good! No wonder I heard General Lu say that the general has never even visited the kiln, and the woman's buttocks have never touched it, so he doesn't like to touch it! Is the general good masculine?
The pro-soldier boy who thought he had discovered the general's secret felt that he might as well be knocked out by the wine jug just now!
The general won't kill him in the future, will he?
In the General's Pavilion, Yuan Xiu put on his robe, and when he saw that Twilight's face was still dark, he smiled and said, "Don't pay attention to that kid!" Those boys just practice on weekdays, and they don't do a lot of things like taking a shower and walking birds in the river! Men in the army are informal, and it's worth making a fuss about being shirtless! ”
In the first few years of his military career, he took a shower with the officers and soldiers shirtless, and he got used to it, and he didn't take off his essence tonight!
Besides, it doesn't hurt to take off your essence, the army is full of rough men, and there can still be women!
"Alright, don't stretch your face, kid. Xiao Zheng's body has been found, let's go to the mourning hall to take a look. "Yuan Xiudao.
Twilight didn't say a word, got up and walked out of the pavilion.
Yuan Xiu came out from behind her, and the two of them went to the mourning hall together.
The mourning hall is located in the side hall, and the plain white lamps and candles illuminate two large coffins, one is empty, and the other has been put into the head, hands and feet. A lean face, flesh and blood covered with loess color, once riding a horse to kill the enemy with a bloody smile, now the gray head and hands and feet put together a pair of incomplete white bones, loyal soul died in the city.
When Yuan Xiu came out of the mourning hall, he stood at the door with his hands in his hands, took a deep breath of the night wind, and the night wind in the northwest was as strong as a knife, cutting people's throats and intestines. There was the sound of the young man's footsteps behind him, and he didn't look back, just looking at the desert outside the pass.
She was right, there was a missing person in the Lu camp, and the army searched everywhere for the bodies of Taozi and Xiao Zheng tonight, but the soldier in the Lu camp could no longer be found.
Ten years in the northwest, the years are eventful, 100,000 soldiers buried their bones at the border, that year, he almost stayed in the yellow sand desert, unable to return, and since then he has guarded the country with his bones.
That year, he was a year older than her, seventeen, and the most enthusiastic age of many sons. Everyone in the world said that he raided the Ledan tooth tent with 8,000 cavalry, annihilated 30,000 Ledan's cavalry, and killed the prince of Touta, but he did not know that there were 20,000 soldiers who went out with him, and they were buried in the black wind of the desert, and the yellow sand was a grave, and the bones were difficult to return. The world doesn't know that the 8,000 cavalry almost buried their bones in the desert, it was he who sat on the yellow sand with a smile, cut meat and drank blood, which boosted morale, and lasted for that day, and finally came to a desperate place to survive.
The army rested in the water source for three days, he had a fever for three days, and on the day of the raid on the tent of Ledan, he was wounded and rushed to the front, and killed the prince of Touta with an arrow, and the morale was boiling, and the Ledin army was in chaos, and after that victory, he returned to Guancheng and recuperated for three whole months.
He came back, but there were too many soldiers who could not come back, and the desert was full of heroes' graves, accompanied by the twilight of the mountain, looking at the country from afar.
"At this time, there is still good wine!" Yuan Xiu smiled and glanced at Twilight.
He didn't know why he told this kid about the past, Xu She is another figure who has been regarded as a legend in the army in the Northwest Army over the years, and the hero is lonely, probably ...... I guess there's some sympathy. If others don't understand, maybe she can understand.
"You stay in the mansion for two more days, and then you will come back when Hu Yanhao is released out of the city." Yuan Xiudao. Qingzhou Mountain, Hucha Grassland, and the General's Mansion, she defeated Hu Yanhao three times, and with Hu Yanhao's temperament, she will not let her go. As long as he remains in Guancheng, he can't let her out of the General's Mansion, Hu Yanhao is good at attacking in the dark, and he needs to prevent her from being in danger.
Twilight had expected this, and she only nodded.
"It's the third watch, go back and rest, it'll be busy in a few days." Yuan Xiu asked Dui Qing to rest, but he stood outside the mourning hall with his hands in his hands, as if he had no intention of resting.
Twilight glanced at him, the moonlight was covered with yellow sand, the white candle was cold, the man was holding his hand, and he could see that the sky was bright and iron-clad in the night. He is the son of the Yuan family, the son of the scholar clan, according to the law of Daxing, the son of the scholar clan does not enter the hall from the military camp, and can still seek officials in the court. With the nobility of his identity, he didn't need to come to this bitter cold place to kill the enemy and defend the country, he just needed to live that prosperous and comfortable life in Shengjing, and he was extremely rich in this life. But wealth and nobility can't destroy the man's ambition to serve the country.
He didn't finish talking about that war, but the most dangerous thing was that after he cut his flesh, he would lose water and blood, and if he survived, he could only say that he should not die. The rumored god of war in the world also had dangers and those difficult years.
Ten years at the border, he sharpened the aristocratic reserved and squeamish, ate and slept with the soldiers, bathed in a river, grinded out a high-spirited and heroic spirit, thirsty for Hu Lu blood, killed the enemy on the battlefield and laughed, the soldiers defended the family and the country, no matter where he was the grave!
She has few people to admire, and Yuan Xiu should be one of them.
Dusk Qing went down the stone steps, walked three steps and stopped, and when she turned around and saw that Yuan Xiu was still standing outside the mourning hall, she couldn't help but say, "General." ”
"Huh?" Yuan Xiu was stunned for a moment and turned his head.
"I once handled a case where a family member of the family reported to the police and suspected that someone in the family had been killed by a thief. He quickly searched for the thief's house, but found only the man's head, hands and feet in the house, and the rest of his body was not found by digging three feet into the ground. Later, the thief confessed, he cut the body into small pieces and cooked, some of which were thrown out to feed the wild dogs, and then because there were too many, he put them in the pot and fried them, and sent them to the neighbors. ”
In fact, this is a case she handled in her previous life, and after the case was solved, her group of colleagues no longer ate the meals sent by their neighbors, especially meat dishes.
Yuan Xiu: "......"
So?
What did she mean by this?
"There are many murderers in the world, and there is not only one general who has eaten human flesh under unknown circumstances."
“……”
"The people ate one plate, but the general only ate one bite."
“……”
The yellow wind blew, and Yuan Xiu lowered his head and coughed, "Thank you." ”
He finally understood, she was comforting him, but ...... What a relief like no other.
"No thanks." Twilight nodded, lightly.
"Ahem!" Yuan Xiu lowered his head and coughed even more.
"Qi He is still in the mansion, if the general is cold, look for a military doctor, and the last general will return first." With that, Twilight turned and walked away, never looking back.
Outside the mourning hall, the man raised his head for a long time and looked in the direction she left, with a smile on his lips.
This kid is such a treasure!
Quirky treasure.
Taozi's body was found in the early hours of the morning, he had been to the horse farm the evening before, Yuan Xiu suspected that he was killed near the horse farm, so the army sent people to dig the ground to find him. The horse farm covers a wide area, and the people who followed behind it filled it in, until it was almost dawn, and the body of Taozi was dug up under a stable in the horse farm.
Hu Yanhao was extremely clever and cunning, and the grass on the horse farm was turned too much to be easily discovered, so he actually chose the bottom of the stable as the place to hide the corpse.
When the corpse was dug up, everyone was shocked, the face of the corpse was covered with yellow mud, a thick layer of black and black, and the wind blew, and the bloody smell was blowing in the nose. The face of the corpse was gone, and it was sunken in a piece, filled with yellow mud, like a face without eyebrows. The person was carried to the general's mansion, and the scar on the left abdomen of Yuan Xiutong's body recognized the person as Taozi, and the wound was cut by the scimitar of the Hu people.
Early in the morning of this day, when the soldiers were practicing, the military horn sounded the entire Guancheng, and the funeral report was sent from the general's mansion, and the doors of the mansion were wide open on all sides.
General Gu Lao led the generals of Jialan Guancheng to come to mourn, Yuan Xiu stood in the mourning hall in a white robe, swore blood, and vowed to record this blood debt on the head of Di Ren and send troops to fight Di!
The generals asked for battle, Yuan Xiu personally ordered Lu Da and Wang Weihai to be two generals, and ordered the two to return to the camp to prepare for the war, and after Taozi and Xiao Zheng were buried, they sent troops to fight for Di.
Three days after the troops were dispatched, Twilight Qing, as the general of Shiguan City, was not called to fight, and she did not ask for battle, because she knew in her heart that this battle was just to let Yanhao out of the pass. Even the three days of the mourning were just to give Hu Yanhao time to blend in with the army that was about to go out of the customs to fight.
Di Wang's tooth tent is south of the Urkut grassland, Lu Da and Wang Weihai led the troops to kill the Di tribe, and the Rong army, the Una army and the Yue army stationed on the edge of the Urkut grassland moved when they heard the wind, and sent out 50,000 troops to cut off the back road of Lu Da and Wang Weihai, but they didn't want Yuan Xiu to lead a strange army to suddenly appear behind them, and Lu Da and Wang Weihai, who were going to kill the Di tribe, suddenly turned around, and the two armies surrounded and wrapped the 50,000 Wuhu coalition army into dumplings!
The Di tribe could have come to the rescue when they heard the wind, but the king of Di was seriously ill, and the queen did not allow the king's army to go out in order to prevent chaos in the king's tent, and ordered to guard the king's tent. The four sons of Lao Di Wang fought for the throne, some people stood on the main side, some people did not approve, and a round of quarrels wiped out the fighters.
In this battle, the Northwest Army killed more than 30,000 people of the Wuhu coalition army and captured 5,000 people.
When the army returned, the whole army of Guancheng was boiling, and the captured 5,000 Hu soldiers were imprisoned in the underground cells of Wengcheng outside Guan. That night, five people were raised and sent to the General's Mansion at night.
Outside the study room in the mansion, Twilight Qing looked at the five Hu soldiers who were tied up, and turned her head to look at Yuan Xiu.
Yuan Xiu led her into the inner room of the study, turned around and said, "Hu Yanhao has taken advantage of the chaos to get out and went to the direction of the Ledan tribe. ”
"Ledane?" Hu Yanhao is not easy to find out in the army, but if someone escapes during the war, that person must be Hu Yanhao! It's just that there is chaos in wartime, and it is not easy to find out if anyone has escaped among the tens of thousands of troops, and Du Qing doesn't know what method Yuan Xiu used, but since he said this, he naturally has a military report.
It's just that Hu Yanhao is not Di Ren? Why go to Le Dane?
"His mother is a Ledan, there is a lot of friction among the Wuhu tribes in the grassland, there are warrior competitions every five years, and the losing tribes have to sacrifice cattle, sheep and women to the winners, Hu Yanhao and his mother are the female slaves who were given to King Di by Ledan. He has half of the Ledan's blood, although he was born to a slave girl, but he has been quite heroic under the tent of King Di over the years, and King Di let him lead the tribe with 20,000 fine horsemen. King Ledin is ambitious, and he has long swallowed the heart of Di Ren, and he has shown favor to Hu Yanhao over the years, and the two have been very close to each other in private. ”
I see.
"With Hu Yanhao's temperament, he should have an idea with King Ledan. King Di is seriously ill, the four sons take the throne, he has the defeat of Qingzhou Mountain, if he returns at this time, he will be excluded and condemned. When he went to Le Dan, he wanted to join forces with King Le Dan and take the throne of King Di. "Twilight said.
"That's right." Yuan Xiu smiled, "He and King Ledan are both staring at the Di tribe, even if they know that they have ghosts, they will still cooperate." ”
"What is the general's plan?" Twilight asked. Since Yuan Xiu found Hu Yanhao who had escaped on the battlefield, he did not kill him and let him go, so he had a bigger plan.
Yuan Xiu looked at the five Hu soldiers, his eyebrows seemed to melt into the cold wind, he snorted, and said, "How he got into the Great General's Mansion, I will get mixed up with him!" ”
Twilight Qing also looked at the five Hu soldiers, probably knowing Yuan Xiu's plan. But, only five people?
"Hu Yanhao is cunning and suspicious, and it is easy to do bad things when there are too many people." Yuan Xiu turned his head to look at her, there seemed to be a bright light in his eyes, and asked, "Do you dare to follow me into the tiger's den and walk on it?" ”――
