Chapter Forty-Six: The Expedition

In the highest place in Luoyang City, Wang Yue held the long sword in his hand tightly, carefully guarding the front, the man in the dragon robe was very rare, Emperor Han Ling was dressed neatly today, and there was not a single concubine around him, and his expression was relatively serious.

A pair of eyes, just looking at the direction of the Luoyang camp, the emperor is always like this, although he is a faint tyrant, he also has a deep heart, but the degree of depth is different, Wang Yue does not dare to guess at will whether Emperor Han Ling's current mood is good or bad, he is just doing his own thing dutifully, the reason why Emperor Han Ling came here today is because today is the day when his junior brother Xiang Qing set out on the expedition.

The red armor is particularly eye-catching, he stands here and sees clearly, the Luoyang camp is like a tiger entrenched on the yellow earth, looking from afar, the Han soldiers wearing red armor, like a group of ants, methodically poured out from the camp gate of the Luoyang camp, they lined up in a neat queue, and the Changge in their hands was shining in the sun.

The general in the white robe in front of him was Xiang Qing, the general of Zhengxi, Emperor Han Ling squinted his eyes, as if he wanted to see his appearance clearly, but the distance was too far, and it was a black spot in his sight, so he could only give up.

Emperor Han Ling turned his back to Wang Yue and said, "Aren't you going to send him?" ”

Wang Yue saluted and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Your Majesty's safety is more important, and it is enough to see it." ”

Emperor Han Ling waved his hand: "Go, your junior brother will go on an expedition for the first time, and he won't be at ease if he can't see you." ”

Wang Yue wanted to speak and stopped, but he still promised and turned to leave.

After Wang Yue's figure completely disappeared, Emperor Han Ling snorted coldly: "This is the first time, and it is definitely the last time." ”

The meaning of this sentence is quite clear, Wang Yue didn't send Xiang Qing this time, I'm afraid he won't have a chance to see him again in the future.

When going downstairs, Wang Yue saw that the frame of the eldest princess of Yang'an, Liu Na, had just arrived, and when the car stopped, the eldest princess of Yang'an stood tall and stepped on the servant's back and got out of the carriage, but no matter how noble she was, she still looked very funny when she finally became a pig's head, without the demeanor of the eldest princess.

Wang Yue couldn't pretend not to see it, and saluted the eldest princess, the eldest princess leaned up her neck and pretended not to see it, Wang Yue didn't care, he was just curious, the eldest princess usually doesn't come to look for Your Majesty, why did she come here to see Your Majesty today?

The eldest princess of Yang'an did not climb the stairs herself, a soft sedan chair was carried by several strong men, he lay on it and roamed beautifully, the strong men were sweating profusely, and it took a lot of strength to lift the pig-like eldest princess in front of Emperor Han Ling.

The eldest princess of Yang'an saluted to Emperor Han Ling, and Emperor Han Ling also raised his hand to signal her to get up.

The eldest princess just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Emperor Han Ling.

"I know what you want to say, don't worry, even if he quells Xiliang's rebellion, I won't let him return to Luoyang alive."

The eldest princess's pig face was smiling, and it was extremely ugly, so that Emperor Han Ling always turned his back on him, not wanting to look at this pig-like woman, after all, the original Emperor Han Ling was related to this pig, and the current Emperor Han Ling did not, as for the original Emperor Han Ling and the current Emperor Han Ling sharing the same body, that was made up by him.

The eldest princess said happily: "Your Majesty is wise, such traitors should die at the hands of Xiliang's group of thieves." ”

After complimenting Emperor Han Ling, the eldest princess looked in Xiang Qing's direction and sneered: "Hmph, see if you kid dare to go against me, oh yes, you won't have a chance to go against this palace in the future, hahaha." ”

Emperor Han Ling frowned, this eldest princess of Yang'an not only looks like a pig, but her voice is also like a pig's cry, far inferior to the beauties of her harem, not only graceful, can sing and dance, but the laughter is also so exciting, people can't stop.

Emperor Han Ling turned to leave, he tried his best to make a calm and breezy demeanor, but it was obvious that he was not a person who was good at disguising himself, and many people saw him clearly, but they didn't dare to say it.

Hmph, the throne will always be mine, all the beauties, all the gold, silver and jewelry, the whole world! It's all my own! I will never allow anyone to covet my throne, even if you are from the same place as me! Xiliang's thieves can't kill you, then I'm going to kill you myself, you must die!

Anyway, the army of 5,000 people is carefully selected by Xiang Qing, there are many types of troops, scouts, men, combat soldiers, some small number of military doctors with the team, baggage soldiers, etc., all have to be divided by Xiang Qing himself, he arranged Wang Shu in the baggage army, after all, Wang Shu has read, these accounts can also be calculated clearly, Liu Hu is his own guard, Xiang Xu has been by his side, he watched the army pull out, has been looking at the direction of the city gate, he is waiting for his friends to come and see him off.

Although Xiang Qing made an impassioned tirade on the school field that day, it was obvious that it had no effect, and the soldiers couldn't understand his tirade quoting scriptures, so they just didn't buy his account, which made Xiang Qing really a headache.

Or Cao Cao is more powerful, he wrote out a reward and punishment system overnight, marking in detail what kind of merit gets what kind of reward, what kind of mistake receives what degree of punishment, in front of Xiang Qing in front of all the soldiers, let the heralds of each battalion read through this reward and punishment system table, the soldiers felt that this Xiang Qing was a bit of a general.

Xi Zhicai also trained Wang Shu to the devil, which made Wang Shu miserable, obviously Xi Zhicai could calculate the accounts at a glance, but he had to carefully compare them for a long time to come up with the answer, but if there is anything different from Xi Zhicai, then he must be wrong, he will be tortured by Liu Hu, but it can be regarded as a little growth.

Xiang Qing doesn't have any confidence in his heart, the generals under his hands are all battle-hardened warriors, their disbelief is written on their faces, Xiang Qing sees it in his eyes, and he is anxious, Cao Cao has to give him psychological counseling every day, so that he can stay calm, otherwise he will be tossing and turning at night and can't sleep at night.

Finally, Xiang Qing saw two familiar figures, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai, followed by more than 20 people, some people Xiang Qing knew the face but couldn't name it, and some people didn't know it at all, but Xiang Qing knew that these were all guards in Cao's mansion.

Xiang Qing turned over and dismounted, Cao Cao laughed, and the two ran to each other.

"Hahaha, for my brother, I wish General Zhengxi a victory and a triumphant return."

Xiang Qing smiled awkwardly: "I don't know if I can do it, big brother, don't be joking." ”

Cao Cao lightly punched Xiang Qing in the chest, and said with a smile: "The dignified general of the expedition to the west, the army of five thousand tigers and wolves under his command, how can he be depressed!" You have to remember that those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away, but you will go out on behalf of my Han Dynasty, don't lose the face of the Han Dynasty, you have to show the momentum of the overlord, so that those arrogant soldiers can obey your orders and go to the soup for you, do you understand? ”

Cao Cao got out of the way again, and there were more than 20 majestic Cao Mansion guards standing neatly behind him, and Xiang Qing knew at a glance that these 20 people were the most loyal and brave guards.

Cao Cao pointed at this group of people and said: "Junhe, these are the most powerful under my hands, I will hand them all over to you, and I can rest assured that they will protect you when you go to Xiliang." ”

Xiang Qing waved his hand and said, "Big brother, this can't be helped, I took them away, what about the safety of Cao Mansion?" No, no, never. ”

Cao Cao said with a big grin: "Why not! There are so many guards in Cao Mansion, what do you say if you are a general who conquers the west and don't have your own personal troops, so it was decided. Then he turned back to the guards and said, "Are you all willing to follow General Xiang!" ”

The guards replied in unison, "I am willing." ”

Xiang Qing also saw a familiar figure in the crowd, it was Yun Cheng who returned from injury, and Promise, these two brothers have good swordsmanship, some of these guards were selected by Cao Cao, but Yun Cheng promised to come, just to repay the grace of saving his life.

Xi Zhicai also stepped forward and made a marked Confucian salute and said: "General, the lord has high hopes for you, and Zhicai has also sorted out some judgments on the situation in Xiliang and told Wang Shu how to break the situation, so that he can tell you on the road, I hope it can help you." ”

Xiang Qing heard Xi Zhicai's name for Cao Cao, he and Cao Cao looked at each other and smiled, everyone tacitly knew that Cao Cao's personality charm was indeed great, and Xiang Qing would involuntarily have a feeling of wanting to obey, he was born a leader.

The two exchanged pleasantries again, and just as they were about to wave goodbye, they saw that Wang Yue had already run over in a hurry.

Xiang Qing smiled and said, "Senior brother, Your Majesty has allowed you to come and see me off?" ”

Wang Yue didn't pant when he ran over, and patted Xiang Qing's shoulder as usual: "A general who is about to go to battle, straighten your waist." Seeing Xiang Qing raising his head and his majestic appearance, Wang Yue nodded with satisfaction: "Your Majesty has allowed me to send you, and I don't have much time, so I won't talk nonsense." ”

"Nanxi can't go out of the city in the palace, she wrote a letter for me to hand it over to you, don't worry, with me, no one in the palace will bully her."

Wang Yue handed the letter to Xiang Qing, and even smelled the fragrance on the envelope, Xiang Qing carefully put the letter away, and then Wang Yue handed over a jade pendant.

"This is my talisman, it has always blessed me, it is dangerous for you to go to Xiliang, I will rest assured that I am there."

Without waiting for Xiang Qing to speak, Wang Yue had already broken Xiang Qing's hand and put the jade pendant on his hand, Xiang Qing could still feel the body temperature on the jade pendant, Xiang Qing put the jade on his neck, stuffed it into the armor, patted it carefully, and instantly felt a lot more relieved.

Then Yuan Shao also took Xu You over to say goodbye, after all, now Yuan Shao is barely one of Xiang Qing's friends, after Cao Cao came back, the three of them plus Xi Zhicai and Xu You drank together, but Xi Zhicai and Xu You played some word games, Xu You was extremely embarrassed, and that time was not very pleasant.

Xiang Qing waved goodbye to everyone one by one, his heart was much calmer, and everyone watched Xiang Qing's figure gradually move away, and they all turned around and went back to the city.

All the way straight to Xiliang, Xiang Qing unconsciously hummed a small song: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet......"
