Chapter 3: The Heroes (Six Ups)

"It's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse! According to rumors, the Great Eclipse is also considered the land of ten thousand times. You won't easily admit defeat just because of a win! Wang Xun shook his head and responded with a smile.

This demeanor had a bit of the flavor of Feng Changqing, which made Xue Jingxian couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Then, he laughed and teased: "I remember that General Wang is not yet twenty years old this year, why is he like an old fox who has lived for many years?!" ”

"Really?" Wang Xun himself couldn't feel the kind of maturity in his body that was not commensurate with his actual age, and grinned, "It is estimated that the wind and sand in Anxi are big, and it is easy for people to look old!" Not to mention this, the big cannibal only cares about running for his life, and the people and horses are not allowed to rest, and their physical strength will definitely not be sustainable. While it's still early, let's hurry up and kill him again! ”

After that, he waved his hand to call the captain Wei Feng, and ordered him to lead twenty light horsemen to "assist" Su Shi, the young master of Mulu City, and escort the prisoners back to the camp for settlement. Then he instructed Fang Ziteng to call the brothers to form a team, and Zhu Wuyi and his people went to pull out all the captured war horses, which looked to have relatively wide skeletons, and kept them for everyone's backup. After everything was almost arranged, he turned his head and made an inviting gesture to Xue Jingxian, and jumped on his mount and set off.

Xue Jingxian watched the whole process almost without blinking, and his affection for Wang Xun became stronger and stronger. In the more than half a year since he was looking for a way in Chang'an, he has seen many children of the family on social occasions. But these people are either high-eyed and low-handed, and they can only point out the country with praise and curiosity, but they can't come up with the slightest rules when they really do things. Either they just blindly eat and wait for death, without any long-term plans in their hearts. And like Wang Xun, who treats people and is humble and organized, he can't pick out one out of a hundred.

"No wonder His Majesty treats this person differently!" Thinking of a rumor he had heard when he was in Chang'an City, Xue Jingxian couldn't help but nod secretly.

It's hard to hide any secrets in the officialdom of the Jingshi, unless the stakes are too big and may cause people to fall to the ground. And Wang Xun's exceptional promotion obviously does not belong to this list. Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor has not paid attention to a noble son for many years, and suddenly he has a blue eye for Wang Xun, and he can't help but attract the special attention of the ministers.

So long before Xue Jingxian left Chang'an, various analyses had already been said to have noses and eyes. But in all the analysis, none of them guessed that the young people who were unusually promoted did have extraordinary skills.

"If you pull him to the prince's side......" The thought immediately became uncontrollable. Staring at Wang Xun up and down, how do you look at it and think it is the best choice.

Even in the gallop of the horse, Wang Xun's six senses are very keen. Noticing the strangeness of Xue Jingxian's smile, he turned around and asked curiously, "What are you doing with your head shaking?" It's not that I can't hold it anymore! Then you have to persevere, this kind of risk-free chase and escape battle is not something that can be encountered every day! ”

"How can it? The six arts of the gentleman, Xue Mou is also involved. Xue Jingxian hurriedly put away his crooked thoughts, smiled and pointed out to the entourage behind him with his hand, "Besides, if I go back now, won't they hate me to death?" ”

The swordsmen had followed Xue Jingxian for so long, and they also knew that although this employer had a bitter mouth, he was actually not a bad person, so he rode a few feet closer and retorted with a smile: "My lord is joking with me again!" I don't know who it is, I had to follow me just now! ”

Xue Jingxian was in a good mood, and he spoke very casually, "A group of things that don't know what to do!" I'm trying to help you find a future! What does it mean to be a swordsman, it is also to fight with people, how can it be like General Wang, fame but take it right away! ”

"How dare we people compare with General Wang!" The swordsmen also admired Wang Xun's martial arts, waved their hands, and loudly expressed their modesty, "People are the blessings accumulated by their ancestors and fathers, unlike me, who were born with a hard life!" ”

"That's not fair to General Wang!" In Xue Jingxian's heart, what he couldn't stand the most was that someone was talking about his bloodline, "He also won this wealth with his ability." If you learn more, you may not be lonely for the rest of your life! ”

"Lord Cheng has good luck! If there is a day when the ancestral tomb smokes, I will definitely invite the adults to drink! The swordsmen arched their hands and smiled perfunctorily. Deep down, the desire to gain fame is much more fervent.

After chasing for more than ten miles like a lightning speed, a large group of routs were found in front of him. After arranging for someone to protect Xue Jingxian, Wang Xun rushed forward on his horse, hammered down with his hand, and swept down the mount like wheat for the enemy troops blocking the horse. The soldiers were so tired that they didn't have the strength to resist at all. Hulala fled in all directions, and the other half was bitten by Fang Ziteng and Zhu Wuyi, and slashed under the horse from behind one after another.

As soon as the battle ended, Xue Jingxian jumped off the horse with his entourage. Scramble to collect the heads of the remnants of the Great Eater. Among this wave of enemy troops, there were very few servants forcibly recruited by the Great Cannibals. Therefore, few people surrendered voluntarily. Xue Jingxian was afraid that Wang Xun would divide his troops to escort the captives again and delay everyone's time, so he simply took the initiative to share his worries. The swordsmen also cut off all the captives who were alive, and tied their heads to their horses.

After the battlefield was cleaned, there were hundreds of more horses in the team. Even if they are exhausted from running, they can be left in an empty saddle and their stamina can slowly recover.

Wang Xun calculated the time in his heart, and led his brothers to chase westward without hurrying. Constantly change mounts along the way, so that the horses will take turns to recuperate. Because of the appropriate countermeasures, the speed was not affected too much by the distance. Soon, they met the third and fourth groups of defeated soldiers,

As usual, it was Wang Xun who led the Anxi brothers to rush forward to kill, and then Xue Jingxian was responsible for leading people to clean up the battlefield and count the harvest. In the blink of an eye, more than 200 heads were recorded. Combined with the gains of the previous two waves, almost every participant has been able to get more than three. However, Xue Jingxian was not satisfied, and while riding his horse with Wang Xun to continue to pursue the enemy's rout, he proposed with a smile: "I see that the remnants of the great food on this road have been chased by our Anxi army. I didn't have the strength to lift the knife. The next time we meet, just let me take a few people around to the front to intercept them, and you take your brothers to slash and kill them in the back. Let's have a front and back flank ......."

"That's not going to happen!" Before Xue Jingxian finished speaking, Wang Xun hurriedly interrupted with a smile. "Lord Xue doesn't know that there are many things to pay attention to in this pursuit of the north. The enemy must be given a little hope of escaping for their lives, so that they will not fight desperately. If you don't even give hope, I'm afraid that the rabbit will be in a hurry and will bite twice! ”

"Just them? What can you do if you work hard?! Xue Jingxian was full of contempt for the combat power of the Great Cannibal, frowned, and disagreed with Wang Xun's statement.

"Today, the scene in front of the two armies has also been seen. On our side of Anxi, except for the heavy infantry led by General Li and directly smashed the cannibal Chinese army, and the two waves of light cavalry that came forward to support him later suffered heavy casualties, the losses of the other units in the entire battle were minimal. However, after the enemy began to flee for their lives, many brothers accidentally risked their lives because of their meritorious service. ”

"Hmm!" Xue Jingxian looked back and thought about it, and the facts were as Wang Xun said. In today's battle, Feng Changqing almost completely defeated the enemy army with crossbow arrows. There was no hand-to-hand combat between the main forces of the two sides, and of course there would be no losses. But when the enemy commander fled from the battlefield, the Anxi army was eager to expand the victory, but was bitten by some dying and struggling black armor. Although only a few hundred casualties were taken, there were losses after all, which cast a shadow over the previous outright victory.

Feng Changqing was furious about this, and in front of the officers and soldiers of the whole army, he reprimanded several core generals who mishandled the situation. In the subsequent division of troops to chase and escape, Wang Xun behaved extremely carefully. It is better to gain fewer heads than to push the enemy too quickly.

At this point, this person has obtained the true biography of Changqing. He cherished the lives of his soldiers to death. It's not like a fierce general who takes the enemy's head in a joke at all. You must know that Gu Laici is not in charge of the army, killing 3,000 enemies, and losing 800 self-losses is a master of the art of war. Paying any price in order to win should be the best choice for the general.

In the middle of the belly, I suddenly heard Wang Xun sigh with a smile, "Lord Xue, do you think that as long as we can block the enemy army more, even if we lose a few brothers, it will be worth it." But our Anxi Army is just such a little person. Every life is very valuable. Feng Shuai once said that even if one brother is exchanged for a hundred enemies, it is a loss-making deal for us. Wang is not talented, and he dare not forget Feng Shuai's advice! ”

These words could find a lot of resonance in Xue Jingxian's heart, and he nodded, and he said loudly, "That's right!" We are Tang Dynasty men, what are they? I didn't say those words just now, how to fight, everyone still listens to your brother Wang! ”

"After another ride, it's almost time to go back." Looking up at the sun that had set in the west, Wang Xun said with a smile, "I'm afraid that the other brothers have already collected their troops. Once we become alone, it will be the turn of the big cannibals to hunt us down! ”

Seeing that Xue Jingxian had a faint look of unwillingness on his face, he smiled, and he continued to add: "Presumably, it will be difficult for Lord Xue to have the opportunity to personally go into battle to kill the enemy in the future. Today's harvest should be counted in Wang's name, so let's give it all to Lord Xue! It's rare for someone to come from Chang'an, and they can't let you go back empty-handed! ”

"How can this be done! No, no! Xue Jingxian was taken aback by Wang Xun's generosity, and hurriedly waved his hand again and again, "You are willing to let me follow the light, it is already benevolent and righteous." Even if Xue doesn't know how to advance or retreat, he can't rob you of the credit you got in exchange for your life! ”

"Lord Xue doesn't have to be polite!" Wang Xun had the intention to fulfill the other party, and shook his head with a smile, "I have already made a great achievement." is enough to repay the exceptional promotion of the imperial court. Even if you cut off more enemies today, it will be just icing on the cake. Besides, Wang has just been promoted to three levels in a row, even if he has made great contributions at this moment, where can his official position be promoted? ”
