Chapter 100: Returning Safely
Wei Kai was also very depressed at this time, and originally planned to work with the Qin army that attacked the enemy village to pursue the remnants of the grassland coalition army, but he could think that he had just met the Qin army in front of him, so he was forcibly pulled by the Qin army around him at this time, and moved closer to the main force of the Qin army, no matter how he persuaded him, the leading Qin army centurion still ignored it, and just let the soldiers protect Wei Kai in the middle of the team.
"Didn't I explain it? You don't have to take care of me so much, you just need to pass my order to You Jin, and ask him to send an army to pursue the King of Yiqu...", Wei Kai, who was "hostaged" all the way, was also very puzzled in his heart about the abnormality of the Qin army, and only tried his best to explain to the centurion of the Qin army in front of him.
It's a pity that the Qin army around him ignored Wei Kai's many explanations along the way, and after defeating the enemy troops who remained in the way along the way, they did not pursue the situation, greedy for the results, but quickly led Wei Kai to move outside the camp.
Seeing this, Wei Kai was also tired in his heart, and sighed in his heart, it was really Xiucai who met soldiers, and it was reasonable to say that there could be such stubborn soldiers in the Qin army.
Of course, from Wei Kai's point of view, these soldiers were so resolute in escorting themselves outside the camp to get military orders to ensure their own safety.
But now the battle situation has changed, Wei Kai is no longer alone in the Luoshui enemy camp at that time, but also rebelled against Bai Rong and other grassland clans to come to help, and now the top priority is to gather troops as soon as possible to destroy the remnants of the enemy, especially the Yiqu Wang Fa of the grassland tyrant, instead of wasting time like now.
However, no matter what Wei Xingzhong thought, for the Qin army that attacked the enemy camp in Luoshui at night, ensuring Wei Kai's safety was the first goal of the Qin army, and even the only purpose, especially for the Qin general You Jin, who had been supervising the battle on the front line of the Qin army.
Therefore, when the soldiers on the front line came to report, they said that when the soldiers found out that Chen Cang ordered Wei Kai, they had been nervous for a while, and suddenly their whole body relaxed, and then they hurriedly got up to meet Wei Kai.
"Okay, it's almost here, you don't have to protect me so carefully...", seeing that he had been taken out of the camp, Wei Kai said helplessly.
Maybe it was the soldiers of the Qin State who came and went outside the camp, or Wei Kai's sudden reminder, the centurion of the Qin army, who had been silent at the front of the queue, realized that he had arrived at a safe place, so he exhaled a little, and then immediately turned to Wei Kai and pleaded guilty: "If there is any place to offend the adults along the way, I hope that the adults will forgive and forgive the villains for the sake of killing the enemy for the country."
Suddenly, as soon as the centurion's words fell, all the Qin soldiers around knelt down and apologized for the behavior of offending Wei Kai just now, and Wei Kai was also taken aback by the scene in front of him, although he complained in his heart that they were pedantic and did not know how to judge the situation, but he did not threaten them verbally.
After all, the military orders in the Qin army are like mountains, which is what Wei Kai has always hoped for, and their hard work, Wei Xingxing also understands.
So, Wei Kai immediately picked up the centurion in front of him and said: "You are loyal to protect my safety, how can I not understand, besides, you are also acting on orders, I am grateful that you are too late to wait, how can I punish you?" ”。
Hearing Wei Kai's words, the soldiers around him were relieved. Although they were acting on orders, no one in the Qin army knew the power of the adult in front of them, and if there was something offended, it would be a monstrous disaster for them pawns.
Now the adults in front of him don't pursue their rudeness on the road, which is really a blessing, so they hurriedly said in unison: "Lord Xie forgive me for the rude sin."
Between talking and laughing, seeing that the atmosphere was calming down, Wei Kai found that the centurion of the Qin army, who was silent just now, and the leader of the Qin army, touched his big head at this time, with a smirk on his face, I am afraid that he was imagining the reward for protecting Wei Kai's return this time, and the depressed atmosphere that had just accumulated in his heart slowly dissipated, but the young man's heart made Wei Kai couldn't help but step forward and said: "Why didn't you explain the situation earlier just now?" ”。
As soon as the words fell, the centurion of the Qin army realized that Wei Kai had walked in front of him at this time, and recalled Wei Kai's words just now in his mind, and was suddenly frightened, thinking that Wei Kai was going to investigate his rudeness, and was about to kneel down to ask for guilt, but looking at the smile on Wei Kai's face, he suddenly found that he was afraid that he was being teased by the general in front of him, and his originally bent body stiffened, and continued to smirk: "General You once said that my white servant is a stupid person. If the villain on the road responds to the general, I am afraid that he will be ..., and he will not be able to complete the task, then my white servant will be...".
When Wei Kai heard this, he looked at the embarrassed appearance of the big man in front of him, and suddenly felt funny in his heart. However, it was these "stupid people" in the Qin army that the Qin State was able to survive in the cold land of Longxi and resist the attacks of the great eastern power Wei again and again.
After all, what Wei seized was war exploits and land, but for the Qin people, it was fate, and it was the qualification to live in the land west of the river.
Seeing this, Wei Xingxing didn't have the intention of joking, and was about to say a few words of relief, but before Wei Kai could speak, he saw a group of people hurrying towards him from a distance.
Wei Kai's eyes opened, and he suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart. If the group of soldiers in front of him just now made Wei Kai helpless, then the group of people who were about to arrive in front of him made Wei Kai completely unable to refute.
"The last general will enter and meet the general."
The neat and uniform appearance made Wei Kai, who was originally going to make excuses, suddenly didn't know what to say, so he could only hurriedly say: "Everyone, please get up, the success of breaking the enemy this time depends on you...".
Along the way, he was anxious to enter the road, and when he saw Wei Kai's appearance in front of him, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, if anything happened to the general Wei Kai in front of him, then he would really die from death.
However, when he thought of the general's words, he suddenly became depressed in his heart, so he retorted viciously with a bad face: "Thanks to the general, we soldiers are really ashamed..."
When Wei Kai heard this, he immediately shouted in his heart, but his face was silent, trying to keep the smile on his face, but secretly he kept glancing at the soldiers of the Qin army around him, intending to let them appease Youjin in front of him together, and said: "It's still the soldiers who should be the first meritorious, especially our general Youjin, who commands properly and has merit in breaking the camp...".
The generals in the surrounding Qin military camp looked at Wei Kai's embarrassed appearance, and immediately laughed one by one, completely ignoring the faint ridicule in his current general Youjin's words just now.
Seeing this, Wei Kai also understood that this matter could not be easily fooled, but when he thought of the sad days in the future, Wei Kai suddenly began to worry in his heart, and he was just about to make a fool of himself, but when he looked up and saw the pleading in Youjin's firm eyes in front of him, Wei Xingzhong suddenly couldn't bear it, so he had to give up.
The popularity of a lie often requires countless lies to cover up, but unfortunately Wei Kai's first lie failed.
Originally, Wei Kai was deceived as an envoy of Wei and knew little about the Central Plains, so as to delay time and win time for the Qin army in Chongquan to transfer troops.
However, the most critical step of this trip was how to make the enemy troops in the Luoshui camp believe that Wei Kai in front of him was the envoy sent by Wei. At that time, Wei Kai used the token of the late minister of Wei, Gongsun Xuan, which made the Bairong patriarch Ganlu Tan and his party believe that he was an envoy sent by Wei, and it was precisely because of this that after making repeated choices, he agreed to the plan of his general Wei Kai.
After all, in You Jin's opinion, with the identity of Sun Xuan, the prime minister of Wei State, even if he can't make the enemy army in the Luoshui battalion completely believe, it is still feasible to delay the time a little, that is, if this plan is implemented by his general Wei Kai himself, it will be difficult for him to make a decision.
But in the eyes of General Ying Qian, Wei Kai's plan was completely nonsense, and he was simply asking for his own death. Others don't know the relationship between the steppe tribes in the north and the Wei State, how can he, a general who leads troops to fight all the year round and always pays attention to the situation in the eastern Wei State?
Xihe County of Wei not only ensured the safety of Anyi, the capital of Wei, from the threat of the Qin people wandering west of the river, but also provided a natural and good place for horse breeding, providing Wei with an excellent source of war horses and bringing wealth from cattle and horse trade.
This was a huge threat to the Qin State, and it was not a threat to the grassland tribes in the north, who had always traded cattle and horses to the Central Plains countries. Not to mention that during Wu Qi's tenure as the guard of Xihe County, he repeatedly attacked outward, trying to expel the steppe tribes in the north and consolidate Wei's position in the land west of the river. Therefore, the people of the grassland hated Wei deeply, but because of the great power of Wei, they had to swallow their anger.
And now that Gongsun Acne is dead, the court of Wei has also undergone great changes, Gongzi Wei, Pang Juan and others have tried their best to suppress the power of the late Xiangguo Gongsun Acne of Wei and eliminate his influence in Wei, of which Hexi is the most important.
The two sides continued to dispatch their own officials to try to take over Xihe County, but it was only because of Wei Wangying that they did not make a big move on the surface, but it is a fact that the power of Gongsun Acne and his faction has been greatly reduced.
So can the people of the grassland still buy the face of the Gongsun Acne faction, which has greatly reduced its power, which is really worrying? After all, even if Wei Kai had the token of Gongsun Acne in his hand, he could only be regarded as a secret envoy, not a Great Wei envoy holding the banner of Wei and fighting a war.
Moreover, the reason why Wei Kai fled to the Qin State is unknown to others, how could he, the son of the Qin State, not know about it? If he is recognized, wouldn't it be a sheep into the mouth of a tiger and give away his life in vain, which is probably one of the reasons why the old King of Qin specially arranged for Wei Kai to take up the position of Chen Cang of Qin and stay away from Liyang.
Therefore, when the general of the Qin State, Ying Qian, who came to the rescue of Pinyang non-stop, learned that Wei Kai went to the enemy camp alone and disguised himself as a Wei envoy, he was instantly shocked, and pointed at Youjin who came to answer and scolded: "You are so protective of the general, let him mess around? If anything happens to Wei Kai, Hugh blames General Ben for being ruthless."
After hearing the general Ying Qian in front of him say this, he was already worried in his heart, and he was even more remorseful in his heart, so he hurriedly told Ying Qian about his plans when Wei Kai left.
I thought that my plan with the general might make the general in front of him lose his anger, but when he learned that Wei Kai used Gongsun Acne's hand to deceive the enemy, he was even more annoyed in his heart and said: "You are not as stable as your brother You Da, and you are not the most courageous general under Wei Kai, can you know why Wei Kai only took you this time, and the other generals did not object?" ”
As soon as Ying Qian said this, You Jin was suddenly confused in his heart, for this time his general only took him alone, in fact, he was also very puzzled in his heart, at that time, it was just that Wei Kai valued him, so he was very grateful, but now...
Ying Qian looked at Youjin, who was stunned on the spot, and sighed in his heart, so he said: "That's because among the generals, you are the youngest." Although Wei Kai has won many military exploits, after all, he is a young man, and if these people follow him closely, they will definitely hinder him in the long run.
I think that when you left Chen Cang, all of you in Chen Cang must have told you a thousand things.
Moreover, we think that your Youyou clan is a well-known loyal and virtuous clan since my Mu Gong, and we must be willing to sacrifice my life for righteousness in my Qin country. Otherwise, with your two brothers, who are just young generals, how can you take the position of captain in the Battle of Shaoliang, and later you will transfer 2,000 elites from our army to merge under your command.
All this is for you to wait for a good assistance to protect Wei Kai, but now you know it...".
When I heard this, I became more and more frightened, and I regretted my previous decision even more, so I hurriedly asked for guilt.
Ying Qian looked at Yu Jin, who was blaming himself in front of him, and he couldn't continue to punish him. After all, although there is a mistake in this matter, the main reason is that Wei Kai is too arbitrary, and the matter has already happened, the top priority is to destroy the enemy in front of him and protect Wei Kai's safety, as for how to punish it is a matter after the war.
So he continued: "The Qin State has been in decline for a hundred years, and the You clan, which arose from Mu Gong, has now declined. It's not easy to usher in an opportunity now, and these old Qin people want to seize this opportunity, do you know? ”。
"The end will understand".
"Well, you don't have to blame yourself too much. If it weren't for you and others discovering the enemy of Luoshui's sneak attack, my Qin country would be in danger. If Wei Kai is safe, I will forgive you and the others", Ying Qian patted the shoulder of Youjin in front of him and said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Qian immediately ordered the defenders of Pinyang County, who had not yet had time to repair, to slowly touch the enemy camp in Luoshui while it was night, and wait for the middle of the night to launch an attack on the enemy camp.
Now that Wei Kai has returned safe and sound, You Jin is also greatly relieved in his heart, and when he thinks of the general's pious words, his heart suddenly becomes nervous, thinking that he must look at the general in front of him in the future, and he will not dare to let him take such a risk in the future.
Wei Kai saw Youjin's cautious appearance as if facing a great enemy, and of course he understood in his heart that he had deceived before, so that his image in Youjin's heart would be lost, and he was afraid that he would never be allowed to do anything out of the ordinary in the future, and he would be stared at to death, just like when Chen Cang, Wang Pi, a local minister of Qin, always persuaded himself.
Alas, it was really self-inflicted, Wei Kai, who returned to the camp of the Qin army, saw that You Jin, who was the main general, kept giving orders, but he was like a person who had nothing to do, so he could only sit on the sidelines, looking completely ignored, and suddenly regretted in his heart.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard an urgent report from outside the tent that an envoy from Bai Rong had come to tell Lord Wei Wuji about something important, and Wei Kai's heart suddenly tightened, and he had bad thoughts.
"Biography", looking at his own general Wei Kai who was suspicious on his face, he replied immediately without thinking about it.
The general in front of him plotted against the Bairong clan of the eight countries of the grassland, and he also learned about it from his general Wei Kai, and he was very shocked in his heart at that time.
After all, it was not easy to deceive the eight countries of the grassland with falsehood and chaos and delay time for the Qin army, but I didn't expect that I could empty the gloves and disintegrate the enemy, and I suddenly admired Wei Kai to the extreme.
However, it is also very important to admire and admire in my heart, and not to easily let my general immediately see himself, so Wei Kai wanted to lead his troops to contract with the Bairong clan in an attempt to exterminate the King of Yiqu, but he categorically refused without thinking about it, so he sent other battalion generals to lead his troops.
