Volume 1 Chapter 16: Night Talk Outside the City
In the end, Emperor Yun Shen of Xia still agreed to track down the responsibility of Suitai's disrepair and loss of function, and the officials from the martial arts in the DPRK and China were naturally strongly opposed, but Xu Kuang, the Duke of Hu, not only did not defend his sister-in-law, but tried his best to appease the court, and finally the big eunuch Wang De took the guards directly into the Yamen of the Ministry of War to take away Xu Yan, just when Daxing in Kyoto was in a storm.
Lingzhou Prefecture Dingyuan City Border Army Barracks.
Outside the camp, a group of cavalry galloped towards the camp from afar, and only stopped at the entrance of the camp.
As soon as he stopped, a man was thrown to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust
"Ahemβahem," the dust that flew up made the person who was thrown down cough several times.
But the knight who led the team turned over and dismounted without a glance, and walked straight towards the camp.
The man was immediately pulled up from the ground. "Get up! Get up! Don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead for me, you dog! Get up! Hurry up! The man said impatiently as he shoved the man forward.
The crowd walked for a while, and came to a stop in front of a large tent. At the curtain of the big tent stood two guards with halberds in their hands!
The leading general lowered his head and clenched his fists and shouted at the big tent.
"Return to the commander, the last general will come back to return the military order!"
But there was an echo in the big tent, and it wasn't until a stick of incense that the word cold came from the tent
"Come in!" This great general has come and led the people into the tent!
As soon as he entered the big tent, Qin Yu saw that there were two generals in the account who were discussing something around this map, one of them was the middle-aged general on the execution ground that day, Han Boxian, the commander of the border army who Lao Ding admired very much.
Before the man could do anything, the soldier behind him shouted. "Kneel," the scabbard struck the man on the popliteal socket, and the man screamed in pain, and fell to his knees as soon as his legs went limp.
"It's coming," Han Boxian said lightly. But his eyes swept over the man,
But Han Boxian said to the general: "How is the battle!" β
"Returning to the general, that group of Xihu cavalry has been completely annihilated by our army! Now, General Hu is leading people to clean up the battlefield, and the special general will come and return the military order." Present with both hands.
"Good! Worthy of being my Great Xia soldier! Han Boxian stretched out his hand and took the military order.
"In the evening, I will order the slaughter of lambs for the soldiers, prepare fine wine, and reward the soldiers well!"
"General Xie!" The general hurriedly clenched his fists and thanked him. When he looked up, he saw Han Boxian and gave him a look. He hurriedly said again.
"The last general has another report, General Hu ordered the last general to bring this person to the commander to decide, this person is the Xihu general who was accidentally captured by our army. General Hu said that he should be beheaded in front of the officers and men of the three armies to show the prestige of our border army! β
But Han Boxian just said lightly: "Okay, you guys go first, you will have your own decision." When the general heard this, he could only take the rest of the people and others to withdraw from the big tent first.
In this big tent, only Qin Yu and Han Boxian were left, and a military general beside him.
I saw Han Boxian suddenly walk up to the man and stop, looking at the man with a serious and cold face, and the peaceful middle-aged general who stood on the execution ground that day was like two people.
The man only felt a burst of pressing blood, coming towards him, and the murderous pressure pressed the man and couldn't breathe, but the man still straightened his waist hard. showed a strange smile, and seeing the man laughing, Han Boxian lost his momentum and turned back to the general. Said coldly to the man!
"With your ability, those cubs in the Xiao Cavalry Camp still can't catch you, anyway, what's the matter with the rush to see me in this way!"
"Han Boxian, are you trying to lure Xihu to come and rob the city! You can't do this! "That person came up and broke what Han Boxian had been planning! didn't wait for Han Boxian to speak, so he said again: "Don't be sloppy with me, this is not the combat style of the border army, it's just a small group of Hu cavalry attacking and harassing the county below, so you will scatter the whole army and leave a whole army to garrison Dingyuan!" Isn't that obvious enough! β
"Obviously, even if he knew, he wouldn't help it!" After a pause, Han Boxian said again.
"I ordered the county governor of Lingwu County to draft an official document stating that he was aware of the Xihu movement. Lingwu County is stepping up preparations for armaments to prevent the invasion of Xihu, but the county guards lack food and grass, and it is difficult to raise funds under the rule of the county. The county lieutenant sent a total of three waves of messengers, but only one wave of messengers arrived in the state capital! β
"So, you're going to put the battlefield in Lingwu County?" The man asked
"Nope! Lingwu's piece of meat is too small to feed a hungry wolf, and I have already escorted two whole battalions of soldiers under my command to escort the military rations and go in the direction of Lingwu,"
The man couldn't help but be furious when he heard this!
"Han Boxian, you dare to use Dingyuan as bait, I don't agree!"
"Why do you have to agree, your current identity is not a Xia person, but a Hu person! A Hu person's opinion, why should Ben Shuai care! He waved his hand again. Just a prisoner, smelting steel collided with Ben Shuai, and someone dragged Ben Shuai down! Shut up! β
Two soldiers walked in from outside the account, and the man was about to drag him out! The man was dragged out in the end, but he didn't say anything, just stared at Han Boxian's face.
After the man was taken away, only Han Boxian and the general beside him were left in the tent.
"General! Is it really decided! With our fight, it is possible that the entire northwestern border state will fall! Over the years, tens of thousands of our brothers have died on the battlefield, isn't it just to defend the land and the people! We're a dozen! How to be worthy of the brothers and the people who died in battle! β
"Ben Shuai has already explained why this policy is implemented, this policy is successful, there will be no more war in the northwest in a hundred years, what about sacrificing something for the sake of the plan, you are a general! Command an army! But look at the present! Narrow-minded! And what is the ability to lead an army! β
"But,......" the general still wanted to argue. was directly interrupted.
"Needless to say! Pass the order, early tomorrow morning, the whole army will pull out the camp and leave for Gyeongwon! More words! and dismiss you from the army! β
Seeing this scene, the general didn't dare to say anything more. I had to reply respectfully, turned around and walked out of the military tent, and gave the order! Seeing that the general walked out of the military tent, Han Boxian sat back on the handsome seat, pondered, and saw the old man today, he couldn't help but recall many dusty memories of the past, and for a long time Han Boxian raised his hand to support his forehead and sighed softly.
"Brother Qin, I don't know if what I'm doing is right or not, tens of thousands of troops from Xihu have invaded my border pass, how can I solve the situation! There are few soldiers and generals around me, and I am restricted everywhere, and I have worked hard to support it for so many years, and it should be a head! Alas, if it weren't for that incident back then, Brother Qin would have led the army to wipe out Xihu a long time ago! β
Speaking of this, Han Boxian's tone was grim.
"Then let me, junior brother, settle this Xihu for Brother Qin!"
