Chapter 62: Beacon Smoke (2)
On the first day of the arrival of the army, he needed to rest, Xiahou'an did not hang the battle flag, and Yuwenyi did not have a call horn.
Tillian carried the medicine box on her back and followed Luo Jia to wander between the camp tents of the wounded soldiers, these wounded soldiers were originally stationed in Jizhou City, and now Xiahou An announced Xie Hengxu Yuan Bo and Li Qi to the tent of the handsome, and the ministers who came with the capital would go to the camp tent of the wounded soldiers to offer condolences.
By the time of the last camp, Tillian finally saw Xie Chengyu, the leader, in a group of courtiers.
Seeing this old man and young man coming in, Xie Chengyu, who was standing at the forefront, had his eyes moved, and when he saw the two of them come forward to salute, he said in a deep voice, "If Doctor Luo has finished reading the soldier's injuries, please come to my camp tent." ”
Tilian secretly rolled her eyes, her second uncle is very good, brave and resourceful gentleman, she is a feudal general who stands up to the sky and sways thousands of armies, and she is a filial son, an enlightened elder, and a dedicated husband in the house. He is good at everything, except for one thing, he is too upright, one is one and two is two, and even now if he wants to find an excuse to see her, he can't make up words that are pleasing to the ear.
Everyone looked at each other, guessing to themselves.
Fortunately, Luo Jia was witty, and he bowed and said gently, "When the grass people return to the camp to get the sick records of the wounded soldiers, they will go to the general's tent to report." ”
Xie Chengyu pursed his lips, nodded 'um', and left first, leaving the ministers to follow him out, while secretly sighing at the astuteness and wisdom of this 'Doctor Luo'.
Xie Chengyu's big tent was in front of the tent, and after Xiahou An came, Xie Hengxu also moved to the back of the tent, and the ministers surrounded the tent where Xiahou An lived in the center.
Di Lian took a look at Xie Chengyu's tent outside the tent, the curtain of the handsome tent was lifted, and from her direction, she could see that Xie Hengxu and the three of them were kneeling in a row in the tent, and Xiahou An was talking about something, because he couldn't see his expression clearly from a distance.
Luo Jia stretched out his hand and dragged her, "Bao Buqi suspects that you are in the camp and deliberately let you see it, don't look at it." ”
With her thick eyelashes lowered, Tillian followed him into Xie Chengyu's tent.
Xie Chengyu sat on the soft couch in the tent, but there was no one else but him.
Di Lian hurriedly took a few steps forward, "Second uncle, how is the situation in the capital?" Did Xiahouan find an opportunity to deal with the Prime Minister and the Xie family? ”
The unsmiling face twitched, Xie Chengyu put the teacup on the small table, and his slightly sharp phoenix eyes showed helplessness and strictness, "Don't talk nonsense, how can you call your majesty by your name!" ”
Don't talk about Dilian, even Luo Jia on the side couldn't help but smile dumbly, is this the point of Dilian's question?
Pursing her lips, Tillian stepped forward and sat at the end of the short couch, frowning and said, "Is there any?" ”
Seeing this, Luo Jia also sat in the chair beside him, and watched his uncle and nephew talk crookedly.
"Emperor An still has to rely on your father in politics now, and he won't mess with us for a while." , Xie Chengyu sat upright, put his hands on his knees, and had the majestic demeanor of a general's golden sword, "Before leaving Beijing, Emperor An asked the eldest prince to act as the government of the court, Prince Ning supervised the country, and your father was the assistant." ”
Prince Ning is the brother of the first emperor, and now the most senior prince in the royal family, it is really reasonable for him to come to supervise the country.
Gently bowing his head, Di Lian said, "The eldest prince is still young, and as for Prince Ning, who has not been in the court for many years, he is only playing a nominal role, it seems that Daddy's status in the court has not been shaken, so it's good." Yan Yan raised his eyes and looked at him, "Second uncle, Emperor An summoned Zixu, it should be to punish him for the reason of defending the city uncertainly, if you take the opportunity to let Li Jie replace him." ”
Raising his hand to stop her, Xie Chengyu said with a calm face, "Don't worry too much, although Li Jie knows some art of war, but leading troops to fight is not just talk on paper, really facing such a big battle, he will have to make trouble sooner or later, so it's okay, let Emperor An witness with his own eyes that the honor of the Xie family is not something that can be provoked by such a vain person." The children and grandchildren of the Xie family, as long as they are alive, there is no one who cannot go to the battlefield. ”
Di Lian's heart is stable, what the second uncle said is right, not everyone who understands the art of war can lead soldiers, and not everyone who leads soldiers can win battles, so let the wealth of the Li family be buried in this real gun battle.
Now that Emperor An is close at hand, Di Lian wants to meet Xie Hengxu again, so she has to be cautious.
In order to regain the energy of the other army who had traveled a long distance, the military camp slept very early that night, and Tilian changed into the soldier's costume of the stove fire camp, and carried hot water to Xie Hengxu's tent with another person arranged by Xie Chengyu.
It was late at night, and most of the people in the camp had fallen asleep when Xie Hengxu and Yuan Bo Li Qi had returned from being punished for going to the horse pen to feed the horses.
He looked back at the two people who were delivering water, paused on the more delicate figure, and said loudly, "You stay and take a bath for General Ben." ”
"Yes." Tillian bowed and retreated behind the screen, while the other man bowed out of the tent and waited outside the tent.
After quickly stepping to the screen, Xie Hengxu lowered his voice, "Don't take such a risk, Emperor An is staring very closely, and those who are guarding outside the tent are all his people." After that, he untied the cloak and armor on his body and threw it on the wooden bench on the side, took off his robe and underwear, and looked leisurely.
Tilian kept her head hanging and rolled up her sleeves while whispering, "What did Emperor An say, did he really just punish you for going to the horse ring?" ”
Xie Hengxu only had a pair of black bottoms left on her body, and she sat in the bathtub with long legs, and saw her kneeling beside her and leaning over her head, before she whispered, "Yuan Bo and Li Qi are also being punished to go to the horse circle, the second uncle is the coach, and Li Shot is the deputy marshal." ”
"Sure enough." Tilian whispered, and threw the handkerchief in her hand to him with the water, "Second Uncle thinks that Li Jian will be able to make mistakes as soon as possible if he goes to the battlefield as soon as possible, you can bear with it a little longer, and when he makes a mistake, you will be able to return to his position, and we will not meet in this time." ”
Although he knew that this was helpless, Xie Hengxu couldn't help but feel depressed, reached out and pulled her over the lips and kissed her fiercely, seeing Di Lian glaring at him angrily, he couldn't help but sigh shallowly, "You are not on the edge of the couch, how can I sleep." ”
Angry and laughing, Tillian picked up the water and slapped his face, got up and left without looking back.
Xie Hengxu sat in the bathtub and watched her walk out of the tent, and couldn't help but wipe her face and sigh again with a look of regret.
On the twenty-eighth day of October in the second year of Qianhua, Yuwen Yisheng declared war, Xiahouan hung up the battle flag to meet the battle, and the first battle of the 'Battle of Muwo' that was circulated by later generations was personally led by the generals of the two dynasties.
The status of the Xie family in the Xia Lan Dynasty is not far behind, and the Zhenguo Mansion of the Starfall Dynasty is also a founding noble.
The one who led the troops to battle this time was Xie Chengyu and the princess of Zhenguo.
The battle lasted for three days and three nights, and Tilian followed Luo Jia and several other doctors in the army to run around the camp where the wounded and sick were housed, and every day she witnessed the injuries and sufferings caused by the war, and felt that her heart was not good, except for dressing the wounds of these soldiers who defended their home and country, and comforting them, nothing else could be done.
In his spare time, he thought of Xie Hengxu, who was still in the horse ring, and hoped that he would always serve the horses in the horse circle.
"If Zixu is also injured like this."
Candles were lit in the military tent at night, and Luo Jia and Tilian stood side by side in front of the long table where the herbs were placed, and they couldn't help but look sideways when they heard her muttering to herself.
The candle flame was dim, swaying on her face, Luo Jia was stunned, and for a moment her apricot eyes moved and lowered her eyes, and her subordinates kept tinkering with the medicine that was ground into powder, and said with a faint smile, "He is also protected by countless soldiers before going to battle, don't you worry about it, don't even you trust his ability?" ”
Qing's eyes blinked slightly, Di Lian glanced at him, and then continued to pound the herbs, and said lightly, "The sword on the battlefield has no eyes, unless it is an iron wall, otherwise anyone will be injured." ”
Luo Jia sighed, threw the porcelain jar containing the medicinal powder aside, and looked at her side face with one hand on the case and the other on the waist, "I said, since you always have to pay some price if you want to be in a position and a person, you want him to continue to lead the Xie family army, but you don't want him to go to the battlefield, aren't you dreaming?" ”
Tillian gave him a blank look and continued to pound the medicine, "I'm just saying it casually. ”
"You don't have to waste about fighting and killing like fighting." With his hands around his arms, Luo Jia raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's focus on the strategy you are good at, that Na Ji, you took the trouble to send her to the palace, what is the use at the moment?" Xiahou Anyuan is in Beiguan, and she can only be placed in the palace as a vase. ”
Di Lian didn't care, and raised her eyebrows, "Xiahou'an is now in Beiguan, but it's not that he won't return to Beijing." ”
"This is exactly what I can't figure out, you want Xiahou An's life, in that case, why bother sending Na Ji into the palace in one fell swoop? Figure what? Luo Jia rolled his eyes and looked confused.
Gently hooking her lips, Tilian said, "If he can return to Beijing safely, Naki can distract his thoughts, and before Xiahou An dies, he can at least give birth to a dragon heir." ”
"There are now three princes in the palace, the eldest son of the emperor is also an orthodox descendant, and now he is twelve years old, he is Xiahou Anyong, he is the rightful successor, Naji gave birth to a young son, what's the use?"
"Naturally useful." , Putting down the work in her hand, Tilian turned to look at him, her shallow eyes were clear and waveless, "Once Xiahou is in peace and the eldest son of the emperor does not succeed to the throne, then Queen Su will listen to the government, and she will not let my father control the government." They can be allies in the face of a common crisis, but if the Su family is dominant, they will not be able to tolerate the Xie family and the Zuo Xiangfu. ”
Luo Jia looked at her quietly and sighed lightly, "Therefore, you powerful families are the most terrifying, one moment you are still walking side by side, and the next moment you will have to fight to the death." ”
Di Lian smiled lightly, "Born in your family and grew up in the whirlpool, fighting for power has become the only way for every family to survive, fight or die?" ”
Luo Jia pursed his lips and muttered, "Naturally, I don't want to die." Then he added, "What about Naki?" You want her to give birth to a prince, is it to make their mother and son a puppet? ”
"The Su family has been infected in the power for more than a hundred years, their family is not as outsiders say, it is an elegant and noble scholarly family, if Xiahou Linyun succeeds to the throne, in order to prevent trouble, the Su family will not let Emperor An's other son live, and the Xie family can't support the prince of their own foreign clan because of the fight with the Su family, if Na Ji gives birth to a dragon son, she has no background and no foundation, she can only rely on us, as long as the Su family dares to remove the other two sons of Emperor An, we can form an alliance with their foreign clan and push Na Ji's son to the throne."
Luo Jia only felt a burst of coldness, and couldn't help stroking his arm and shaking his head, "I'm really right, the most poisonous woman's heart is the most poisonous woman's heart!" ”
Tilian smiled clearly, and said indifferently, "In short, what Naki wants is the honor of Wushang, let her be the queen mother of a dynasty, enough honor, right?" Now that she has fulfilled her wish, she should repay me as a deal. ”
Luo Jia stretched out an index finger and pointed at Di Lian, squinted his eyes and said, "People say that Jiang Luoxiu plans to serve the world, but he is reborn Zhuge , you really deserve to be his daughter!" ”
Tillian bent her eyebrows and whispered, "Thank you for the compliment." ”
