Chapter 234: Tilt

After seeing the two bloody heads that had been hung on the flagpole with the rebel general Jiang Xin, he could only stubbornly hold on to the city. It wasn't until Huang Qiong scolded this until now, and he couldn't tell what he should do, and asked him to immediately go down to the city to organize people to protect the defenders, and he climbed down the pass and did his part well.

Seeing Zhao Wuxian coming over, Huang Qiong, who knew that the rebels' offensive must have been defeated once, stopped Liu Hu from wanting to take the knife in his hand. He didn't ask how the battle was, but said directly: "It's okay, what are the casualties of our army?" What is the morale of the soldiers now? ”

"Lord Wang, although our army is geographically advantageous, the disparity in strength is too great compared to the rebels. The rebels can attack in several waves, and they can replace each other, while our army can only concentrate on fighting them. In this battle, from the time of Mao to the current war, our army did not even eat hot food. ”

"As for the casualties, they are really not light. After several hours of fierce fighting, our army's casualties accounted for 30% of the total strength. However, the biggest problem is that the soldiers are a little too tired. Most of these soldiers were stationed in the interior, and most of them had never been on the battlefield. It is not those veterans of the border army who can march and fight continuously for days and nights without rest. ”

It's just that Zhao Wuxian's following words were hinted at several times by Fan Jian beside Huang Qiong. Although he hesitated several times, he did not fully say it in the end. However, although he only said half of the words, the things he said were enough for Huang Qiong. The meaning of Zhao Wuxian's words has been clearly expressed, the so-called elite of these garrisons in Tiger Prison Pass is compared to the inland guards.

If it is compared with the border army and the four major battalions, it is still a lot worse. However, for these things, Huang Qiong is not good at commenting too much on these things for the time being. The situation of more than 100 years of peace and martial arts in the mainland cannot be changed in a short period of time. The fact that the Tiger Prison Pass garrison has been able to support it until now is actually somewhat beyond Huang Qiong's expectations.

Huang Qiong avoided some sensitive topics, and said, "Don't worry, this king has already arranged for someone to prepare a hot meal." This king has ordered that all the current cattle in the pass be slaughtered, so that the soldiers can eat a meal of beef. If that official dares to get his hands on it, those people above are their role models. ”

After Zhao Wuxian turned around to make arrangements, the soldiers did not hit their teeth for a day, and Huang Qiong, who wanted to lead by example, also did not beat their teeth. At this time, he was also exhausted, so he simply didn't care about his image anymore, and sat on the ground. Turning his head, he looked at Fan Jian, who had not spoken all this time, and his face was a little pale at this time, and smiled: "Mr. Jean was frightened." ”

Born in a wealthy family since childhood, although the family is also a martial arts family. But Fan Jian, who doesn't like to fight and kill since he was a child, is actually pampered. The scene of the fight in the rivers and lakes is not unfamiliar to him. But this kind of bloody scene on the battlefield is the first time he has seen it.

On the battlefield, this kind of scene of tens of thousands of people fighting and fighting can not be compared with the fighting of the rivers and lakes. To be honest, he was a little frightened. However, this somewhat unusual guy, after relieving his breath, felt that these scenes in front of him were not ordinary stimulation.

Hearing Huang Qiong's inquiry, he didn't hide it: "Lord Wang, although I am a little frightened. But the sword, on the contrary, likes this kind of scene a little. The two armies are fighting, and this scene is far more interesting than the fight between the Jianghu people. can train an army of tens of thousands of people into an arm, and I am afraid that there are not a few people who have bothered to do so. ”

This guy gave some alternative answers, and asked Huang Qiong to squirt out all the water that had just been drunk in his mouth. This guy is always so unexpected, if it is a normal person, the first time he sees this kind of battlefield full of corpses, it is not bad not to be scared to pee his pants, he feels stimulated. This guy's taste is not ordinary.

After the arrangement was completed, Zhao Wuwu, who had already turned around and returned, interrupted the conversation between the two people. However, for Zhao Wuxian after returning, Huang Qiong persuaded Huang Qiong to go down to the capital yamen to rest, but Huang Qiong refused directly without thinking about it. No matter how hard Zhao Wuwu persuaded him, at most he agreed to enter the city tower to rest.

His persuasion was fruitless, but he was a little worried about Huang Qiong's body, for fear that something would happen to this prince, and it would be difficult to explain to the emperor and his boss, Zhao Wuxian, dragged Fan Jian, who got along well with him in the Xiao Cavalry Camp, to the side and said, "I said brother, you are different from us." ”

"You are the person next to the prince, let's persuade the prince not to move, why don't you say anything to help persuade him. Look at the prince's face, but it's not ordinary. We are all people who beat the skin on the battlefield, and staying up late is not a big thing. But the prince is a scholar, and he has been pampered in the deep palace since he was a child, where can he resist such a hard time? ”

"You kid, I usually look at you with a big grin, but now I'm more careful. Whether the king's body can withstand the toss, I know more than you do. However, this time, the King of England and the King of Shu were appointed respectively, and Zhengzhou and Ruzhou were disposed of as envoys, which was still unique after Emperor Taizong of our dynasty. How many eyes are watching in this court and palace? ”

"The King of England is different from the King of Shu, he does not have any roots in the court. To gain such the emperor's trust is completely dependent on his willingness to stand up for the ordinary people in the world. Your kid has been in the border army, and it hasn't been long since you were transferred back, and there are some things you don't know. However, there are some things you don't know, but it's better. ”

"There are some things I can't tell you. You only need to know that in order to let the emperor know what King Jing did after he became a vassal, it is enough for the people of Zhengzhou to be assassinated, seriously injured and almost killed, and also lost a dearest person. In short, I would like to tell you a word, the King of England is definitely not the kind of clan you imagined, who can only eat, drink and have fun. ”

"The King of England is only eighteen years old, and there are only a few credible people around him, but he has to face such a dangerous situation, how much pressure do you say the King of England has? This time, I handed over the defense of the entire Tiger Prison Pass to you, who was only a captain, how much pressure did he face? You have to know what kind of ending will happen to the King of England when he returns to Jingzhao once the Tiger Prison Pass is lost. ”

"Although you kid is also fought on the battlefield, even the deputy envoy in this tiger prison is not as experienced as you in actual combat. But to be honest, you've never been in command of anything. This time, the King of England broke with convention and convention, boldly appointed a captain, and completely handed over the battle to you. How much risk does he have to take, you kid himself said? ”

"If you really think about the king of England with all your heart, you kid will take out all your skills and fight this battle with your heart. Plug other people's mouths with military exploits, let the emperor and the court see, the vision of the British king is not wrong, and the British king did not choose the wrong person. The King of England has me and Liu Hu to take care of, you do your own thing, don't let the King of England down. ”

"Besides, although the King of England seems to be easy-going, he is very stubborn. When he comes up in this nature, how can you and I persuade him to live? You also saw it just now, who would have imagined that he would kill people as a scholar without hesitation at all? There's still a touch of urbane there? Grandma, don't talk about you, I was shocked, and I thought that the king in front of me had changed someone. ”

"You kid take it easy, don't be that unlucky third person. However, although the British king is young, he still sees people very accurately. Your boy is doing well today, and the King is very satisfied. It is said that Maxima is common, but Bole is not common. But you kid is really not ordinary luck, you met such a discerning person at a young age. ”

"Others may not have such an opportunity in their lifetime, and you kid can encounter it so easily. I said it's okay brother, our prince has always attached great importance to capable people. Otherwise, let's take a gamble, as long as you kid fights this battle, your kid will definitely have a bright future in the future. ”

"Damn, I really don't know what kind of shit luck you kid had, and people with good luck are a little jealous. It's me, a literati, who looks a little red. There are thousands of military attachΓ©s at the rank of captain in this army, but a pie-in-the-sky good thing like your brother is the first one. Speaking of Huang Qiong's attention to Zhao Wuxian, Rao is an open-minded Fan Jian, and he is also a little sour.

"Mr. doesn't need to be red-eyed, it doesn't matter if he has that ability, he is exchanged for being born and dying in the border army. If Mr. has such thoughts, when he goes back, the king will say hello to the military department and send him to the border army for a few years of training. When Mr. has been tempered by the war, he has also practiced this ability, and this king will also give Mr. a chance. ”

Before Zhao Wuxian could reply, Huang Qiong's cold voice came from behind Fan Jian. Hearing the cold voice coming from behind him, Fan Jiangang, who was startled, turned around and saw Huang Qiong's equally cold face, and he was frightened and shrunk his neck and didn't dare to say anything?

And Zhao Wu, who had just learned from Fan Jian that this young prince had been assassinated and almost died because he asked for the lives of the people of Zhengzhou, was still in a trance. After seeing Huang Qiong, he didn't say anything? Just bowed down and went to inspect the defense. After a midnight offensive and defensive battle, although the rebels failed to succeed, the defenders at this pass were also exhausted.

Zhao Wuxian was worried that the rebels would not succeed in the previous strong attack, so they came over in the middle of the night to sneak attack. Therefore, he attaches great importance to the defense of Guanshang, especially after hearing Fan Jian's words about how much pressure the British king should bear, Zhao Wuxian is more concerned about the defense of the city. And there were some things he had to think about.

Although he is subject to rank, there are some things in the DPRK that are not very clear. But in these days, some things are hard to keep secret. Although there are no computers or telephones, the gossip is not slow to spread. In particular, the station of the Xiaoqi Battalion is in Mengjin, which is close to Jingzhao. There are some things that he still knows a little bit about.

For example, for the sake of the northwest disaster relief money and food, the king of England and several unwieldy clans argued in the Wende Hall until the end of the loud reprimand, until these stingy guys finally plucked out some hair for the relief of the victims. He learned some from those who worked on errands in the palace, from the mouths of his former colleagues in the border army.

The assassination of the King of England before, although the emperor has been covering it up. I don't know the real reason, but I don't know nothing. Therefore, for those words in Fan Jian's mouth, Zhao Wuxian at least believed most of them. Zhao Wuxian was not born in a family, and even became an orphan when he was young.

Without his father's kindness, he has a grade on his body, and he completely relied on his own efforts in the border army to fight and fight, one battle after another.

Unlike those children of a family, a person of his origin has an innate compassion for the poor people in his heart.

Fan Jian's words in the second half, although he can't say that he believes all of them, he at least believes them seventy or eighty percent. With this foundation, his heart, which was eager to make contributions, suddenly leaned a lot towards Huang Qiong for a while. At least in his heart, if he wants to find a bigger backer than Yu Du's commander, this British king seems to be a better person.
