Chapter Twenty-Three: Liao Hua Gives Flag
Chapter 23: Wei Yuan received the order to return to the five cities, and Liao Hua Renyi gave up the general's banner
After Wei Yuan withdrew from the big tent, he inspected the casualties of the logistics army with Niu Mang and Han Cheng.
When Wei Yuan informed the two that he had been appointed by Jiang Wei as a temporary acting general, Han Chengzhi's envious eyes lit up: "Congratulations to the general, the general has now entered the eyes of the general, presumably after returning to Chengdu, the general will be promoted day by day, and the last general is now a general." ”
Wei Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Han Hugh made fun of me, Yuan lost grain and grass, used the general's flag privately, and it was a blessing to invite heaven not to be dealt with by military law, how can I be happy?" ”
Niu Mang said abruptly: "The general doesn't know what to do! Our brothers have recaptured the grain and grass, and the general should know that we are also martial arts, so why don't we be transferred to the Chinese army, but it is another idle matter to escort the grain and grass! ”
Wei Yuan said: "Jin Shangxiu has to speak ill of him, the general's move is really to protect the life of the foolish brother, and he must not be quiet." ”
Niu Mang and Han Cheng were very surprised, and asked what it was, Wei Yuan said: "The source privately uses the general flag of Liao Hua, the old flag has not gone and the new flag is not good for the main general, if General Liao Hua learns that the source uses his general flag privately, and kills the source in anger, then the source may not escape his life." Now the general has summoned us back to the Five Cities, which is really saving the source of our lives. ”
Han Cheng said movingly: "In this case, we need to immediately order troops to return to the five cities, why didn't the general leave earlier?" ”
Wei Yuan said: "Now that we and other soldiers have been trapped in successive battles, and many of them are injured, it is not too late to convene tomorrow for the departure of the journey." ”
At this time, Guo Yi stepped forward and said, "Uncle Yudu, the soldiers have been counted." ”
Han Cheng said with a smile: "Called the general, now Liao Dubo has been appointed by the general to temporarily act as a general." ”
Guo Yi was overjoyed and said: "My subordinates don't know, please ask the general to forgive me." Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general. ”
Wei Yuan said: "Ordered by the general, Yuan only temporarily took me and other brothers back to Wuchenger, how can I be happy?" What are the casualties of the soldiers today? ”
Guo Yidao: "General, now our logistics army, there are only 5 out of 30 people, 42 people are seriously injured and unable to fight again, and there are no minor injuries in the whole army." ”
Wei Yuan was silent for a moment, and said: "Make detailed statistics of the wounded and the soldiers who died in battle, and when Yuan returns, the army will apply for a pension to General Wang Ping." ”
"No!"
At this moment, in the camp, suddenly a horse rushed over, and the person on the horse held a small flag and shouted: "Great victory, great victory of our army, General Liao Hua has taken off his wings!" ”
Wei Yuan looked over, only to see that the small flag directly parked the horse in front of the Chinese army's tent and then rushed in, presumably to enter the tent to report.
Wei Yuan's heart moved, and said: "Since the wings have been obtained, presumably the general will directly order us to transport the grain and grass directly to the wings, and we need to prepare in advance." ”
Han Cheng said with a smile: "Now that we have joined the general, no matter where we take the grain and grass, we have no worries. ”
Niu Mang said indignantly: "Niu Mang missed his brother's two battles in a row, and now it is easy to make another meritorious feat with his brother, and he doesn't want Xiahou Ba to be so unbeaten." ”
Wei Yuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, Jin, don't worry, now that the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu are standing side by side, wars are frequent, and there will finally be a time when my brother will show his hand." ”
When the wounded learned that Wei Yuan had taken up the post of temporary acting general and decided to apply for a bereavement to General Wang Ping, the entire wounded camp suddenly burst into joy.
At this time, Niu Mang asked, "Brother, how is your back injury?" ”
Wei Yuan smiled: "Flesh and skin wounds, trivial things." ”
Han Cheng said: "The wounded in the army are mostly fatal due to flesh injuries, and I also ask the general to undress and let us wait to check one or two." ”
Wei Yuan couldn't refuse, so he had to take off his armor with the help of the two, and he saw that the back was already covered with blood, all of which were attached to his underwear.
Niu Mang wanted to take off his underwear, but was stopped by Han Cheng, Han Cheng said: "You need to dye it with hot water before you can take it off, otherwise the skin and flesh on the back will be torn down when you remove the clothes." ”
So Guo Yi took hot water, wet Wei Yuan's shirt and then untied it, only to see Wei Yuan's whip marks vertical and horizontal, oozing blood everywhere, and many places had already suppurated, which was miserable.
Han Cheng sighed: "Seriously injured by this, the general can still drive thousands of miles without changing his face, and he is really a god." ”
At this moment, a herald suddenly rushed to the tent and shouted, "Who is Liao Yuan? ”
Wei Yuan stood up and said, "A certain family is Liao Yuan, I don't know what the official is calling?" ”
The commander looked Wei Yuan up and down and said, "The general has an order, Liao Yuan immediately returned to the five cities with his soldiers to relieve food, there must be no mistake." ”
"No!" Wei Yuan replied.
At this time, Niu Mang couldn't help muttering: "The general is unreasonable, my brother has not rested for a few battles, and his injuries have not recovered, why is he so calling?" ”
Wei Yuan reprimanded: "Jin Shang, don't complain, even if the general has an order, we will follow the order." Then he bowed to the commander and said, "My brother is reckless, and please don't be surprised." ”
Seeing that Wei Yuan bowed down and saluted with great sincerity, the commander couldn't help but smile and said, "It's okay, how can I be that narrow-minded person." ”
Then the commander said: "The general knows that you and others have fought several battles," stretched out his hand and pointed back: "The best medical officer in the army has been sent to treat you, and you have been given ten ox carts to transport the wounded." ”
Wei Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and arched his hand and said, "Please ask the commander to thank the general for Yuan." ”
The commander nodded in response, and then said, "After you have been treated, set off immediately, the general's order cannot be violated." ”
Wei Yuan nodded yes.
At this time, Jiang Wei was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army and said with a smile: "The wings have been taken, and half of the victory in this conquest of our Shu Kingdom has been won." This battle should be the first merit. ”
Jiang Xuan arched his hand and said: "General, since General Liao Hua has taken Weiying, should our army recall General Li Hui and order the Qiang people to join us in Weiying?" ”
Jiang Wei said: "No, now Li Hui not only can't join our army, but should hurry up to Moth." ”
Then Jiang Wei shouted: "Order Li Hui to immediately rush to the moth with the men and horses he brought with him, and entangle Guo Huai's subordinates, so that he cannot come to the wings to help." ”
"No!" Immediately, an officer came out to answer the line.
"Order the King Hu of the Qiang Clan in Mozi Mountain to immediately select the elite of the clan and reinforce Li Hui, so that Guo Huai must not leave the moth to cover a step."
"No!"
"Order the Chinese army, the whole army must arrive within two days, and those who delay the military aircraft will be killed!"
"No!"
"Order the Qiang Hu King, immediately order the Qiang tribe to go to Weiyi to join our army."
"No!"
"Order General Wang Ping to immediately move all the population of the occupied city to Shu."
"No!"
……
Two days passed quickly, Liao Hua personally led the army to welcome Jiang Wei into the city, and saw Jiang Wei leading the crowd to fight horses from a distance, and bowed his hand and said: "The last general Liao Hua, welcome the general." ”
Jiang Wei laughed and said: "Yuan Jian doesn't need to be polite, this trip took it as Wing Jian City in two days, and Yuan Jian really made a lot of contributions." ”
Liao Hua said with a smile: "Fortunately, thanks to the general's clever plan, the soldiers are brave." ”
Jiang Wei smiled: "Yuan is too modest. ”
Liao Hua said: "The general has worked hard all the way, please go into the city to rest for a while." ”
Jiang Wei stretched out his hand and said, "Yuan Jian and enter the city with me." ”
Liao Hua responded, so he turned on his horse and entered the city with Jiang Wei. The generals followed and did not mention it.
Walking to the big tent of the Chinese army, Jiang Wei sat on the main seat and asked, "Yuan Jian, how is the situation of the wings now?" ”
Liao Hua said: "Now the situation is still good, Xiahou Ba saw that our army had taken the wings, so he retreated fifty miles back to the village in Lingtong."
Liao Hua replied: "After our army took the wings, from time to time there were Qiang people who came to join us, and now our army has accepted more than 4,000 Qiang people, but most of them are old and weak, women and children. ”
Jiang Wei said: "Can King Hu of the Qiang people come?" ”
Liao Hua said: "King Hu has not yet come. ”
At this time, a tanma sang into the tent, bowed to the ground, and said: "General Yu, the general of the Wei State and the general of the expedition to the west, Xiahou Xuan, with an army of 10,000 has arrived in Fenglin fifty miles away. The Wei general Xiahou Ba has already joined with it. ”
Jiang Wei sighed: "Coming so fast? Then he ordered: "Investigate and report again!" ”
"No!" After the horse retreated, Jiang Wei paced back and forth in the tent for a few steps, and asked the generals in the tent: "The thief will come, I don't know if you have a plan?" ”
Jiang Xuan arched his hand and said: "General, the last general thinks that we should take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Wei army to go to call for a battle to explore the truth." ”
Jiang Wei waved his hand and said, "That Xiahou Xuan's uncle and nephew have been in war for a long time, and they must take precautions." ”
Liu Liang arched his hand and said: "What the general said is extremely true, but when the Wei army first came, the last general thought that it was necessary to investigate. I am willing to take my headquarters to fight for the battle to find out the truth. ”
At this time, Tan Ming also arched his hand and said: "General, the last general is also willing to go." ”
Jiang Wei said: "In this case, you can wait for the two of you to take a trip." I will take it with a large army. ”
"No!"
After Liu and Tan left the military tent, Jiang Wei ordered: "The herald orders to order 3,000 soldiers, and the generals will go out of the city with me to meet the two after half an hour." ”
"No!" The generals bowed their hands in unison.
"Alright, let the generals disperse for the time being."
"No!"
Liao Hua was about to turn around and exit, but was called by Jiang Wei
"Yuan Jian will stay for the time being."
Liao Hua was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What else does the general command?" ”
Jiang Wei pointed to the couch beside him and said, "Yuan Jian will sit down for the time being and listen to a certain talk." ”
Liao Hua then knelt on the couch and said, "The general, please do your best." ”
Jiang Wei took out a package from the soldiers behind him and put it on the desk, opened it and said, "Yuan Jian knows what this is?" ”
Liao Hua glanced at it, and saw that the bloodstained item changed color and said: "General, is this a new general?" How did it become like this? ”
Jiang Wei sighed: "Yuan Jian, don't panic, listen to a certain way" and then told Huang Feng's grain and grass that was robbed Wei Yuan borrowed the flag to take back the grain and grass, and then said: "The old flag has not gone and the new flag has seen the light of day, and it will be unfavorable to the owner of the flag." I saw that Liao Yuan was bold and reckless, and I wanted to cut it as the Yuanjian sacrifice flag, but it was really meritorious to recapture the grain and grass array and kill the enemy, so I temporarily spared his life. If Yuan Jian's heart is not smooth, a certain person will take the head of that guy as the flag of Yuan Jian. ”
Liao Hua said with a smile: "I can't imagine that a little name can make the children make such a meritorious achievement, and they feel honored." As for why there is such trouble in this matter," Liao Hua paused for a moment, and then said, "Although my old flag is broken, it can still be used. As for this new flag, I look at Liao Yuan, who is really a rare general in my Shu country. But it is my Liao surname junior, since this is the case, then I will take back this flag for the time being, please tell the kid, let him fight for my Shu country, and if he is a general in the future, I will personally give this flag to him. ”
Liao Hua finished speaking in one breath and said with a smile: "In this way, this flag is not mine, so why not talk about it?" ”
Jiang Wei exclaimed: "When the ancestor was there, it was often said that Yuan Jian was a good general of the Shu Kingdom, and today I know that what the ancestor said is unpredictable." ”
Liao Hua said with a smile: "The general has won the award, but in fact, it is difficult for the general to be able to resist the general." ”
Jiang Weileng said: "Why did Yuan Jian say this? ”
Liao Hua said with a smile: "If the general doesn't appreciate this Liao Yuan, why did Hua only see the general's flag today and not his head?" ”
Jiang Wei laughed when he heard this, and said, "Those who know my heart, Yuan Jian also." ”
