"Let our army lose more than half, only to try the depth of the Huan army, this lesson is really too painful!" Beihe remembered that the soldiers were now injured, and he couldn't help but hide his sadness.

"Yes, what's even more odious is that we haven't seen this Huanjun commander yet, not even Gao Chi!" Murong Yue thought of this, and was still indignant, this Dahuan's general was inevitably too indifferent to himself.

Just as Beihe and Murong Yue were silent in the hall, Liu Xuan slowly stepped up and reported: "Your Highness, sir, we lost about 70,000 horses last night..."

Beihe and Murong Yue exchanged dark colors, one person's eyes were full of pain, and the other eye was full of comfort, this is not Beihe's responsibility alone, Murong Yue, as the commander-in-chief, should take on the heavy responsibility.

"Go on..."Murong Yue said in a low voice.

"Yes, now the generals have returned to the city with the remnants of the army, General Zhang Tai's iron cavalry lost 10,000, escaped 8,000, General Yu Gongji injured a leg, the doctor said that it may be difficult to go to the battlefield again, and..." Liu Xuan looked up at Murong Yue and Beihe, his face was embarrassed, and he couldn't bear to speak.

"And what?" Beihe didn't look at him, and said coldly.

"The first army that attacked Suijun suffered the heaviest losses, and only 5,000 of the 30,000 horses on the expedition came back, General Huangfu..."Liu Xuan choked up as he spoke, Beihe and Murong Yue trembled when they heard this, Huangfu Hideyoshi is the first fierce general under Beihe, and he is the best at attacking cities, so Beihe handed over Suijun, which was the most difficult to capture, to him.

Beihe walked over and grabbed Liu Xuan's hand. Squeezing a few words out of his throat with difficulty, "What's wrong with him?" ”

Liu Xuan sobbed and trembled: "His cheek was pierced by an arrow, and now... Now that the danger is at stake, I am afraid that I can't protect it..."After saying that, I couldn't help but cry profusely.

Beihe couldn't hold it anymore, held the desk behind him, sat on the ground, and was speechless.

Murong Yue's eyes were even hotter, and he was sad when he propped himself up on the wall with one hand, and it was not terrible to lose the battle. Dead and wounded soldiers are not terrible. The terrible thing is to lose the immortal famous general.

Huangfu Hideyoshi followed the Northern Crane to the east and west for more than ten years, and all the most difficult bones would be handed over to him, and he would be the first to come forward in the most dangerous battles.

For more than ten years. Although Dayan and Dahuan did not have a large-scale battle. However, other ethnic groups in the north repeatedly invaded the border. Dayan has been guarding against the invasion of various ethnic groups over the years. After hundreds of battles, large and small, they finally drove the high chariot to the cold region of Mobei and forced Wusun to withdraw from the Western Regions. And among them is the great military exploits of the emperor Hideyoshi.

If he dies. The loss of a pillar in the Great Yan army will bring great trouble to the southern invasion of Beihe.

After a long time, Liu Xuan saw that the coach was silent, so he had to withdraw quietly, after all, there were still many remnants waiting for him to settle. And Beihe and Murong Yue had nothing else to say except silently regret.

Compared with the wailing in the Yan army, it seems that the Huan army should praise the celebration with his hands, but unfortunately, Yan Sui, who was about to report the victory to the coach, had been waiting outside the courtyard where Xiao Moheng lived for almost half a day. So far, there is still no movement from the Seven Princes.

Thinking that last night's big battle was earth-shattering, and there were a few people in the mausoleum city who could sleep peacefully, I don't know that the seven princes slept very soundly, and now it is six o'clock, and the generals should be back soon, and this highness should also get up. Yan Sui kept muttering outside the courtyard.

What he didn't know was that Xiao Moheng had been planning and working hard since the day before yesterday, and when he sent the last team out last night, he still hadn't closed his eyes for two nights. So when he heard the noise outside Jingling City weakening, he couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep, and before going to bed, he only told Qin Xin, telling him to wake up at six o'clock tomorrow, because he estimated that at that time, everyone who should come back would also come back.

"My lord, Your Highness is awake and let you pass!" Qin Xin walked out and said to Yan Sui.

"Okay, okay...."Finally woke up, Yan Sui said silently in his heart.

Yan Sui walked into the hall, turned left and walked into the study, and saw Xiao Moheng sitting next to the desk, drinking porridge with his head down. Yan Sui then smiled with a smile on his face, bowed to Xiao Moheng, and congratulated loudly: "Your Highness is like a god, and there is no last resort, now the three armies in the east and west have all been victorious, presumably the generals are already waiting for His Highness in the military palace!" ”

Xiao Moheng slowly got up when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Last night's victory, there is no lack of help from adults, so, adults go to the military mansion with me to welcome the army!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Then Xiao Moheng and Yan Sui went out of the house together and got on their horses and rushed to the military camp in Jingling City.

When Xiao Moheng walked outside the military mansion, he heard bursts of laughter inside. Obviously, the generals were talking to each other about the scene of driving away the swallow thieves.

When everyone saw Xiao Moheng's long sleeves in the wind, they came over steadily, and immediately stood in awe, arched their hands and said loudly: "Welcome Your Highness!" ”

Xiao Moheng walked into the hall and gestured to both sides: "The generals have worked hard!" ”

Xiao Moheng walked to the hall and glanced at the general who had returned to the city.

On the left are Hao Zhanwei, Tao Yiran, Zhong Fuyun and Shang Zhi, and on the right are Ling Heng, Chu Yutang and Tian Zigeng. And the generals on the right were naturally sent back by Mu Xiaohe, Gao Chi and Mu Bai to report on their achievements. Because the Yan army retreated to Xiangyang, Gao Chi and Mu Xiaohe had already taken the lead in rushing to camp near Xiangyang.

After a big battle last night, the generals have also seen the ability of the commander Xiao Moheng to arrange the troops. He asked Tao Yiran and Shang Zhi to attack Zhang Tai's general Lin Fu and rescue Liu Ji in the west, and then discussed with Gao Chi and Mu Xiaohe a strategy to invite Jun into the urn, and the two sides surrounded the Yan army, resulting in a crushing defeat of the Yan army, and the commander fled, with most of the dead and wounded. Therefore, the faces of the soldiers in the hall were full of reverence.

Xiao Moheng saw the admiration on the faces of the generals with satisfaction, he fought against the Yan army for the first time, so he had to fight with twelve points of spirit to deal with it, because he had to take advantage of this battle to neutralize the army in the army, these days he kept contacting the generals back and forth, one side to understand the military situation, and the other side to convey the will of the Chinese army.

Although Jiang Mei and Mu Bai made many preparations in Jingling, they had to say that it was the credit of a commander to dispatch generals everywhere so carefully and appropriately, and to fight a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people so beautifully.

"Good. Tell the king about the situation of the armies, and tell the king. Xiao Moheng smiled, seeing that the generals who had returned from the night battle could still be so radiant, Xiao Moheng couldn't help but secretly appreciate.

"Yes!" Hao Zhanwei was the first to list, "Your Highness, General Zhong and I followed the Yan army all the way to the vicinity of Yicheng, until an enemy general rescued that Murong Yue, and the two of us captured about 8,000 Yan troops, killed countless people and horses, and also obtained a lot of baggage and war horses!" ”

"Good! This king heard the sound of the tiger power of the two generals in Jingling City! Xiao Moheng praised from the bottom of his heart, he knew that Hao Zhanwei was a fierce general. And last night a battle. He was fearless in the face of the Yan army coach and chased all the way, which shows his bravery.

Xiao Moheng then moved his gaze to the other side, at this time. Ling Heng, who stood at the top, listed. He arched his hand and said, "Your Highness." After my feint, General Mu Ye burned Liu Xuan to the ground, almost annihilating the Yan army stationed in Yicheng. Obtain countless War Horse Baggage! ”

"Good! General Ling not only defended the city with General Mu Ye, but also assisted the Chinese army in attacking Murong Yue, which was indispensable, and besides, if you hadn't dug a trench outside Jingling City, how could Murong Yue be defeated so miserably? Xiao Moheng said with a smile.

"Your Highness Xie appreciates, but everything is due to His Highness's command!" LING Hengdao,

"Haha..."Xiao Moheng smiled, then looked at Chu Yutang, and said, "General Chu Yutang, quickly tell me how the prince's record is?" ”

Chu Yutang listed proudly and said calmly: "Last night, the prince led us and General Xu Liang of Jiangzhou to attack the Yan army in the north and south, the Yan army suffered heavy casualties, and Xin Zuo also shot and wounded the Yan army's general Huangfu Hideyoshi, and finally we followed the Yan army to attack the city of Guangchang!" ”

Xiao Moheng heard that he had injured Huangfu Hideyoshi, his eyes moved, if Beihe lost a strong general, it would be better to lose 100,000 horses, so he hurriedly asked, "How is Huangfu Hideyoshi injured?" ”

"Back to His Highness, General Xin's arrow hit him in the cheek, and the last general thinks that the chances of survival are not very good!" Chu Yutang replied firmly.

When the generals heard that they had got rid of the emperor Hideyoshi, they were all amazed and happy.

"Haha, I didn't expect that our gentle son would be able to leave no mercy at all when he arrives on the battlefield! Haha...."Xiao Moheng laughed and said, as the commander-in-chief, he understands that whether he captures tens of thousands of prisoners or kills tens of thousands of Yan soldiers, it is not as good as losing Beihe's proudest general, and now Beihe doesn't know how to be sad?

However, after laughing, Xiao Moheng gradually restrained his expression, and finally glanced at Shang Zhi and Tao Yiran, and said: "The two generals defeated Zhang Tai and saved Linfang, which is a great achievement!" "These two people are his personal generals in the Northern Mansion, and they are personally dispatched by him, so he already knows the battle situation.

Tao Yiran and Shang Zhi arched their hands and said: "Thanks to His Highness's strategy!" ”

Xiao Moheng let out a soft "um", then paused, and asked in a deep voice, "What about General Liu?" ”

As soon as his voice fell, several people in the hall jumped with eyebrows, one was Yan Sui, the other was Chu Yutang, both of them were Pei Yun's personal generals, so they were quite worried about this, the two glanced at each other slightly, they were very worried, but they didn't dare to speak out.

Tao Yiran said respectfully: "Back to His Highness, General Liu is waiting outside the hall, but..."Tao Yiran, who was smiling, suddenly became serious, and continued: "Your Highness, General Liu disobeyed His Highness's military order and fought against Zhang Tai without authorization, resulting in a loss of 20,000 troops in Linfang, a loss of 8,000, and a near-loss of Linfang. ”

Tao Yiran finished his brief explanation in a calm tone, even though he was usually optimistic and smiling, in the face of those who disobeyed his master's orders, his face was unprecedentedly indifferent. Liu Ji's doing so was obviously a provocation.

After hearing this, the generals were secretly frightened and silent, the soldiers took obedience to orders as their duty, and Liu Ji's move was tantamount to committing a taboo in the army, 8,000 dead and wounded was not a small number, and it was not an exaggeration to punish him with a capital crime.

Xiao Moheng's face was faint, and there was no anger as others imagined, he was silent for a while, walked to the hall, turned around and said, "Take General Liu!" ”

"Yes!" The guard said loudly.

Then, the generals saw Liu Ji walk in calmly, he didn't raise his head, just lowered his head slightly, slowly walked to the hall, then landed on his knees, and said slowly: "Liu Ji has seen His Royal Highness, Liu Ji disobeyed the military order, please punish Your Highness!" Liu Ji's tone was light, he knew that he couldn't escape this hurdle, compared to Xiao Moheng's big victory last night, he was arrogant and underestimated the enemy, so that he failed miserably, he no longer had any face to see the main general, and he couldn't go back to explain to Pei Yun.

Except for Yan Sui and Chu Yutang, all the generals looked at Xiao Moheng fixedly, waiting for his decision, when His Majesty let the Seven Princes go on the expedition, he was given the right to "fake Huangyue", which means that he can kill the generals and hold the power of life and death. Even if he wants to kill this Liu Ji today, it is possible.

Xiao Moheng was silent for a long time, which made Chu Yutang on the side anxious, he secretly glanced at Yan Sui a few times, only to see Yan Sui shook his head at him, signaling him not to make a sound, Chu Yutang had no choice but to lower his eyes and sigh secretly. In fact, Yan Sui didn't let him intercede in order to help Liu Ji, who doesn't know that the crime of disobeying military orders can be beheaded, once someone pleads, it is difficult to guarantee that Xiao Moheng will not be angry. And the reason why Xiao Moheng was silent was also to see the reaction of the generals.

Obviously, Xiao Moheng saw the answer he wanted, so his heart was relieved, Pei Yun gave him a favor before, and Shangjuan recommended him as the governor of the capital, and now he has to return the courtesy.

Xiao Moheng first said angrily: "General Liu, you disobeyed the military order first, resulting in the death and injury of the soldiers, and this king has to punish you!" ”

Yan Sui and Chu Yutang raised their throats in their hearts, for fear that Xiao Moheng would want to cut him off quickly, and they both stared at Liu Ji nervously.

And Liu Ji just bowed his head and knelt on the ground from beginning to end, without saying a word.

"I order you to return the talisman, and immediately demote to a commoner, never to use it!" Xiao Moheng said calmly, without a trace of expression on his face.

Yan Sui and Chu Yutang first breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they could save a life, but then they were also secretly sad, as soon as Liu Ji left, all the important towns in Jingzhou fell into the hands of Xiao Moheng, and the results of Pei Yun's battle in Pingxi were lost.

But no matter what, fortunately, Xiao Moheng didn't take the opportunity to kill Liu Ji, and it was fortunate that he left a life. But he thought about it, what is the use of killing a person who has no real power, as long as he gets rid of his military power, Xiao Moheng's goal will be achieved, but on the grounds of the lives of eight thousand soldiers, Yan Sui has to admire the methods of the Seventh Prince. However, this is the schemer, who has to be sacrificed if necessary.

"Thank Your Highness for your forgiveness!" The corners of Liu Ji's mouth pulled out a trace of hatred, but this hatred was more about hating himself, who called himself to give him an excuse to punish him. Now that he has lost his military power, he has already made the Pei family lose a strong help, if Pei Yun is not sick, how can Jingzhou have a place for him Xiao Moheng to stay? Now Liu Ji can only sigh secretly.

"Stand down!"

"Yes!" Liu Ji replied lightly, then picked up his clothes, didn't look at everyone in the hall, turned around and exited the lobby.

After he left, Xiao Moheng let out a breath and said proudly: "Rank general, in this battle, we not only want to force back Beihe's advance, but also take advantage of the victory to pursue and recapture Xiangyang, which belongs to our Dahuan, are you willing to go to Xiangyang with this king?" Xiao Moheng's voice was loud and his expression was solemn.

"I'm willing!" The generals replied in unison, and the shouts resounded throughout the military palace. As long as the recapture of Xiangyang is mentioned, as long as the Central Plains of Beiding is mentioned, everyone is full of indignation and momentum.

"Good! Then please let your soldiers rest for a day, and go to Yicheng with me early tomorrow morning! ”

"Yes!" (To be continued......)
