Chapter 279: Fight for the First Place (Two in One)

Li Chengyun's life and death are unknown!

Wen Sheng's face suddenly lost blood, and it took a long time to come back to his senses: "How can this be?" Who sent the letter? Qi Lao and Brother Yun are also in the army, what is the current situation? ”

Ji Nantang said: "You know Jing Jie, who delivered the letter, he rushed back from Baizhou on a fast horse, and he didn't close his eyes for four days and four nights, I told him to go down and rest for a while, and then call him up and ask him carefully when you come." Qi Lao and Yun Daxia did not break through with the main force, leaving them with Cheng Guogong. ”

Jing Jie is a scout captain under Ji Nantang, with good skills, together with Yunlu before, through the relationship of Li Chengyun, he was sent to Lu Datong to listen to it, but in fact, it was to investigate the enemy situation in Baizhou.

Wen Sheng sat down and put "Taiping" on the table beside him.

That's when she realized that her hands were shaking badly.

Qi Qin and Yun Lu stayed by Li Chengyun's side, and Wen Sheng didn't know whether to be more worried or relieved.

After so many days, are they still alive?

Du Yuanpu whispered to her on the side: "Miss Gu, you have always been calm in trouble, so the general told you the news as soon as possible, the general is ordering people to go all out to investigate, we are in Beijing, far water can't quench the thirst, but the soldiers brought out by the general are now under the hands of Master Sima Fu, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, even if you disobey the military order, you will rescue Li Guogong and them first." ”

Wen Sheng took a deep breath, and at this time her head was in a mess, and it was really difficult to calm down.

It has been several days since the main force broke through, and the battle is over, and it is a foregone conclusion whether to live or die after staying, and even what Du Yuanpu said is a glimmer of hope......

Ji Nantang raised his hand to signal. After a while, a bearded man walked in and saluted with his hands crossed. The "general" is Jing Jie.

Du Yuanpu personally moved a chair for him to sit on, and Ji Nantang said: "Miss Gu is here, you can tell everyone the details." ”

Jing Jie was running around for days, and he was so tired that he only bowed to Wen Sheng, with a thick tiredness on his face. Turned to Ji Nantang and said: "General, after the lowly rank followed Yanguo Gong to Baizhou, the battle has not been smooth. Even if Master Fu arrived with reinforcements, the situation did not improve. The combined forces of Dongyi and Lieden changed their previous habit of only attacking rich county towns and retreating after looting, and occupied more than ten counties in the eastern part of Baizhou to confront us. Although there are not as many of us as there are. But it is very difficult to fight a war, which is secondly, according to the humble position, the main thing is that Yan Guogong and Lord Fu each lead an army, and their opinions are not consistent, and Yan Guogong is very unaccustomed to many of Lord Fu's practices in private. ”

The most fearful thing about fighting a war is that the commander's orders are not uniform, and each does its own thing or even hinders each other.

Ji Nantang nodded: "We all know this, you directly said this incident." ”

Du Yuanpu explained to Wen Sheng: "Master Fu asked General Ji before leaving Beijing. The general is based on the characteristics of Hakushu, which is mountainous and swampy, and the terrain is complex. He came up with three ideas: recruit township soldiers on the spot, collect grain and grass on the spot, and send officials at the county and township and even the district level to fight the enemy together. However, after Lord Fu arrived in Baizhou, because of the opposition of Yan Guogong, he only managed to collect grain and grass on the spot, and I heard that because the price of grain was too low, it also aroused a lot of public resentment. ”

Jing Jie yawned a lot, and said forcefully: "Half a month ago, Yan Guogong led a large army to encounter the enemy near Zhuoqing Township, and the two took advantage of the terrain to see-saw, and they couldn't hold each other, so Yan Guogong asked someone to send a letter to Lord Fu stationed at the junction of Zhangbai and Bai, asking him to lead the team to come and attack. As a result, Master Fu did not come, and Cheng Guogong rushed to make peace for the two. ”

Lu Datong thought that Jingjie and others were Li Chengyun's cronies, and the gap between him and Fu Liangji was never hidden from them, so Jingjie knew very well.

Without waiting for Li Chengyun to persuade a few words, Lu Datong said angrily: "He was born in Fuliang Jijing, and he only knows how to soak in places like Guyunfang all day long to have fun, have he led soldiers, has he ever fought, he knows a fart!" How can the Dongyi people be so familiar with the terrain of Baizhou, it is clear that there are spies in the place, those gang of people are afraid of death, wagging their tails and begging for mercy, leading the way for the Dongyi people, I can't wait to kill all these dogs who eat inside and out, Fu Liangji has to recruit them to help fight the war, his brain is broken. ”

Fu Liangji did not obey the order to come, and Lu Datong called a fire against it and ordered the whole army to attack.

"The terrain of Zhuoqing Township is complicated, and several of us persuaded Yan Guogong not to rush in, but as a result, the army and the enemy briefly clashed, captured and killed nearly 1,000 people on the other side, and regained dozens of miles of lost land to the east, Yan Guogong was very proud, saying that if he had known that the enemy here was the Dongyi army that Yanshan had put together haphazardly, he would not need Fu Liangji to send people at all, and he would have been able to clean it all up. Immediately led the Chinese army to chase at full speed and plunged into the enemy's ambush. ”

"Can you see clearly, is it really Dongyi people?"

Jing Jie replied with certainty: "Indeed, General." They are not as tall as the Ledden people, it is easy to distinguish, the total number of enemy troops is thirty or forty thousand, it should be the main force sent by Dongyi, after we fell into the siege, the enemy army was killed from the heights on both sides, and soon the Chinese army was killed through, and people continued to fall in the middle of the arrow, Cheng Guogong said that if even the marshal failed to rush out, the morale of our army must be exhausted to the end, under the rout, the whole army is likely to be annihilated, he asked Yan Guogong to go first, and he left the broken back. ”

Jing Jie was not sleepy when he said this, and his face showed admiration.

Ji Jiajun's people have always only recognized strength, not background, not to say that Li Chengyun is only the emperor's nephew, even the former second prince served as a supervisor, and he gave orders in front of them, and he couldn't make them happy and convinced.

At that time, Qi Lao and Yun Daxia stayed to protect Cheng Guogong, and Nie Xinhou and a few of them protected Yan Guogong to break through, Lao Nie rushed to the front with a handsome flag, and was killed by the other party's boss condescending with an arrow, and he took over the flag. It has been defeated for dozens of miles before the Duke of Luyan Guo can collect the army, and he thinks that this matter must be reported to the general as soon as possible, so he asked Lao Peng to stay and watch, and rode back to the capital on a fast horse. ”

"What does the opposing coach look like?" Wen Sheng finally regained his senses and asked Jing Jie.

Jing Jie's expression was a little weird: "The person who shot Lao Nie was surrounded by a group of Dongyi people, and his status should not be low, so I guessed that he was the boss, and the man had a grimace mask on his face, and he couldn't see what he looked like." I only know that the figure is an adult man. ”

He didn't say it explicitly, but it was just this description, and everyone in the room knew who he was thinking. Ghost Boy!

If the notorious Dongyi spy leader Ghost Boy is the enemy commander this time, then it is no wonder that the enemy army is so familiar with the terrain of Baizhou.

After Jing Jie finished speaking, Ji Nantang asked him to go down and rest.

This time, the army led by Lu Datong was defeated, and the number of casualties was initially estimated to be more than 30,000, and even the people sent by Ji Nantang were damaged. And the already grim shape of Baizhou has been even worse after this defeat.

Ji Nantang felt sorry for his subordinates, but in front of Wen Sheng. He didn't show it, but said: "If the Duke of Yan Guo doesn't bother to conceal the news, within three days, the imperial court should receive the battle report and his plea." I estimate the day after tomorrow at the latest. I can have Cheng Guogong's exact news here. Don't worry too much about it first, Ji people have their own natural appearance, and Cheng Guogong and Yun Daxia may be able to escape this catastrophe. ”

Although he said comforting words to the other party, these people in the room, except for Wen Sheng, are all veterans of the battlefield, and they all know it: Qi Qin, Yunlu, a musician, a martial arts master, if you get out quickly. There is still a glimmer of life, and Lee carries it. After this situation is left behind, there is basically no need to have illusions.

Wen Sheng nodded: "Then I'll go back and talk to the master first, I'll stay here in the next two days, and there will be a big competition in the pavilion tomorrow and the next two days, I'll try to come back as early as possible and wait for news." ”

She is still in a mess in her heart, only thinking that she can't alarm Li Chengyun's wife and children now, and she will talk about it when she has a quasi-letter. In the same way, Master Wang Xi also had to hide the affairs of Qi Lao.

She has never believed in gods and Buddhas, but now she can't help but want to find a place to worship on the pillar of incense.

Ji Nantang also saw that Wen Sheng was in turmoil, she said that she wanted to go back to Xuanyin Pavilion to find Bian Qingchuan, so he called the captain of the personal army surnamed Chen over and told him to send Wen Sheng back.

Wen Sheng said goodbye to everyone, and it wasn't until she got into the carriage that she suddenly had a thought, neither Ji Nantang nor Du Yuanpu was in front of her at this time, so she had to ask Captain Chen quietly: "This time, you should send General Ji to Baizhou, right?" ”

Even in Beijing, Ji Nantang does not have a maid and wife around him to serve the diet and daily life, and it is still the same as in the army, which is handled by the pro-soldiers, and the captain in front of him is the cronie of the cronies, so Wen Sheng has this question.

Captain Chen was quite angry when he heard this: "Who knows! It's like this, what did you do earlier? Besides, where is the imperial court still having troops to adjust? I won't ask our general to take these hundreds of people from his house to Baizhou, and maybe we will arrange another supervisor to give you a finger at you, and this battle will be ......."

He finally remembered that the object of his complaint was a girl's house, so he quickly closed his mouth and swallowed the word "fart" on the side of his mouth.

Wen Sheng sighed, there is nothing in all aspects that is not a headache.

Speechless all the way, the car arrived at the Xuanyin Pavilion, Wen Sheng got out of the carriage and thanked Captain Chen, hurriedly greeted the guards, and entered the pavilion and went straight to Lejun Hall.

Running back and forth all night, it was already the middle of the night, and the lights were still on in the Lejun Hall.

Bian Qingchuan rarely didn't drink, and was sitting under the light polishing a pair of new drumsticks. Next to him was an open copy of "Qingshan Drum Language", which Wen Sheng specially copied back from Yingtian Pagoda.

Seeing the master's careless appearance, Wen Sheng knew that he was not at ease with himself, so he casually found something to do and waited for her to come back.

Bian Qingchuan heard the movement, looked up, and said, "I'm back." Then he got up and went to bed.

Wen Sheng's heart was sour, he walked over quickly, squatted down in front of Bian Qingchuan, buried his face in his knees, and said angrily: "Master." ”

Bian Qingchuan heard the obvious crying sound from this "master", and couldn't help but be startled. He sat back where he was, raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and landed on top of Wen Sheng's head: "What's wrong?" Zhong Tianzheng, that kid bullied you? ”

Wen Sheng didn't move, she still buried her head, her voice was very low, Bian Qingchuan needed to prick up his ears to hear clearly: "The army of the imperial court fought a big defeat in Baizhou, and tens of thousands of people died, Cheng Guogong, Qi Lao, and Brother Yun were all fierce. ”

Bian Qingchuan was secretly taken aback, but he quickly calmed down, gently touched the little apprentice's hair like black satin under the light, and comforted her: "There are always many people who die in war. Ours, the enemy's, no one wants to, but it has to be. ”

Wen Sheng asked in a sullen voice: "Master was in the army back then, did he see too much of such things?" ”

Bian Qingchuan sighed: "Everyone has wives and children, relatives and friends, and when it comes to the battlefield, human life is not valuable, but if it has to be fought, I would rather die than the enemy." ”

Wen Sheng sniffed, there is a master, you can let her rely on it, let her confide, although it can't change the cruel ending, I still feel a lot better in my heart.

"Master, this time in the big competition, I will do my best to fight for the first place."

"Then go for it." Bian Qingchuan paused, he didn't feel that the apprentice was talking big and bragging, he just thought: It turned out that it wasn't Zhong Tianzheng's kid who bullied her, but she was going to bully Zhong Tianzheng.

Wen Sheng muttered: "Originally, I thought that as long as I could go to Baizhou, it didn't matter if I wasn't the captain, but if something like this happened, I don't know if it would be too late, and if it was too late, I would do my best to avenge them." ”

So the captain should take it in his own hands.

Although I don't know how much power the cabinet will give to the so-called captain, it is better than being tied up and being managed by others.

Bian Qingchuan patted her on the shoulder: "Since you have an idea, let's go and wash your face, rest early, recuperate enough, and win tomorrow." Tomorrow, Master will go to the Tongle Platform to cheer you on. ”

Wen Sheng let out a "hmm", wiped his face, and stood up.

Bian Qingchuan had a noticeable wet mark on his knee.

He didn't care, but Wen Sheng was a little embarrassed, and said to Bian Qingchuan: "Master, I'll wash your clothes tomorrow." ”

Bian Qingchuan had already picked up the copy of "Qingshan Drum Language", and when he heard the words, he didn't look up, and let out a faint "um".

Seeing that he didn't react, Wen Sheng pouted, turned around and walked outside, everyone walked to the door, retreated again, and said, "Master, you are so good!" ”

Bian Qingchuan looked up at her: "Don't go yet?" ”

Wen Sheng responded, this time he really left.

Bian Qingchuan withdrew his gaze from the swaying curtain and concentrated on the "Qingshan Drum Language" in his hand.

The lines of delicate small characters on the paper are delicate and beautiful, like a group of immortals wearing dark clothes dancing in the snow, just looking at it makes people unable to take their eyes off.

The apprentice who can write such a good stroke is about to go to the battlefield.

At this time, Baizhou has become a Shura field, and a victory or defeat often needs to be filled with the bones of tens of thousands of people, but between life and death, there may not be no miracles.

Hopefully, miracles will happen to the people she cares about. (To be continued......)
