Chapter 459 - The Great War (1)
Xiao He, who walked out of the big tent, couldn't help but look a little ugly, and Chen Ping, who was following him, hurried up and said, "Lord Xiao, are you worried about the war?" ”
Xiao He nodded and sighed: "Alas! Oh, yes! Xiang Yu is different from the past, and he has 100,000 people in his hands, and his generals are like clouds, and his strategists are raining. I don't know what the outcome of this battle will be! ”
Chen Zhi nodded and said, "What Lord Xiao said is that Xiang Yu in the past had a very high opinion of himself, and he couldn't listen to the advice of others at all. But now, Jiangdong is well organized by him, and the people are prosperous. Besides, there are three places in the world, the pseudo-Xu soldiers are strong and strong, and the national strength is thriving, which is on par with my big man! The outcome of this battle is too much in the balance! ”
...........
In Xingtai City, the Hu people had just sent an envoy to exchange Murong Ke's body for 5,000 cattle and sheep.
In this battle, Daxu lost more than 20,000 soldiers, and the Hu people and Hun shadows who had just been killed were defeated, which can be described as a hard-won victory.
The next day, Xiang Yu personally told the soldiers who died in the battle in front of the three armies, and personally ordered the three armies to take the su su for three days to show silent mourning.
After returning to the big tent, Xiang Yu summoned the general Chinese military officials to the big tent to discuss the matter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now the Hu people and the Xiongnu have all been driven out of the Yellow River. This battle has been fought for half a year, and it's time to move troops back to Korea! What do you think? ”
"Your Majesty! Your Ministers Do Your Duty!"
After a year and a half of fighting, not to mention Wenchen, even the generals feel tired, and it's time to rest. And this big victory is even better, so it's time to recuperate!
Seeing this, Xiang Yu waved his hand and directly ordered to move back to the court the next day, and everyone hurriedly thanked Long En.
At this moment, Guo Deming stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book!"
"Oh? What's the matter with Aiqing? ”
"Your Majesty, in this battle, I have recovered several counties, and now the barbarians have retreated, but I am afraid that a small force of cavalry will attack. Therefore, it is proposed to leave a few generals in the army to garrison to ensure the safety of the people in our territory!"
"Hmmm! Aiqing is too worried! I have already decided on this matter, so I will let Marshal Xue lead 10,000 soldiers to garrison here, so as to protect my Daxu Frontier and at the same time shock the barbarians!"
"Your Majesty Shengming!" When the ministers in the tent heard this, they bowed together.
"Your Majesty......" Xue Li, who was named, suddenly looked embarrassed.
Xiang Yu saw that Xue Li wanted to speak and stopped, and immediately asked, "Is there any difficulty for Xue Aiqing?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has just arrived, and he has been promoted to the commander of the three armies by His Majesty's grace, so that he can display his ambitions. But the minister's qualifications are still shallow, and the minister dares to ask His Majesty to order other generals to be stationed, and Xue Ligan is his deputy!"
Xiang Yu couldn't help but say secretly in his heart: "You guy, you really know how to retreat bravely." It's okay, I'll sell you this face!"
"Alright! Since Aiqing is so humble, I will agree, but I still want Aiqing to recommend someone to be the general here, otherwise Aiqing will not want to excuse him! Xiang Yu said with a smile.
Xue Li hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that General Xu Huang can be in charge!"
As soon as Xue Li's words came out, Xu Huang couldn't sit still, and hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "Marshal Xue, Your Majesty ......"
Xiang Yu looked at Xu Huang and smiled: "Okay! Xu Huang, since Xue Li recommended you as the main general, you don't have to resign! Feng Xu Huang was the general of Anbei, and Xue Li was the general of Anbian, leading 10,000 troops to guard Xingtai. ”
Seeing this, the two hurriedly knelt down to thank him, while Xu Huang was grateful to Xue Li.
…………
At the turn of spring and summer, the evening breeze blows on the face, which is extremely cool.
Xiang Yu left the camp alone and walked to the hillside outside the camp, enjoying the pleasure of the cool breeze blowing on his face.
At this moment, Xiang Yu looked up and saw two figures in the woods in front of him
One of them was Xue Li, and the other was wearing captain's armor, but Xiang Yu couldn't recognize the many captains in the army.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu walked towards the two of them with some curiosity. At this time, I only heard Xue Li say: "Miss Mulan, the war is over, this time you will return to Beijing with the army and return home!" ”
The next moment, I saw the captain in battle armor suddenly took off his helmet, and a piece of silky long hair was suddenly spread out. At this time, Xiang Yu saw the person's face clearly, this captain was obviously a woman!
Xiang Yu first thought of Hua Mulan who had been in Xue Li's army not long ago!
"Humph! Don't think that if you saved me, you can point fingers at me! What if I just stayed here?!" I saw the woman throw her helmet on the ground and mutter.
Seeing this, Xue Li said, "Okay! If you stay here, then I will report this matter to the emperor, and when you see it, will the emperor let you stay in the barracks!"
"You! You! If you have the ability, go and sue! Who's afraid of whom?!"
The woman was a little angry, and it took a long time to squeeze out such a sentence, and then snorted coldly and turned around. I don't care about Xue Li who is yelling behind him.
"Good! You wait, I'll go and tell Your Majesty about your woman disguised as a man and mixed into the barracks, and let Your Majesty punish you!" Xue Li looked at the back of the woman leaving, and his mouth was still unforgiving.
Xiang Yu, who was hiding from listening to the root of the wall, saw this, and couldn't help but have a bad taste and secretly said in his heart: "Xue Aiqing, Xue Aiqing, you cut off my beard, then don't blame me for playing tricks on you!" ”
Xiang Yu thought about it, and suddenly jumped out and said, "Who wants to complain to me?" ”
"Huh?!" The woman was frightened and screamed by Xiang Yu, who suddenly jumped out.
"Your Majesty! Xue Li, see Your Majesty!" Xue Li was also taken aback, and after seeing Xiang Yu who came clearly, he hurriedly saluted.
Hua Mulan also reacted at this time and saluted Xiang Yu together.
"Well, let's get up first! Wait a minute? This, how is this a woman?!" Xiang Yu first deliberately asked the two of them to get up, and then pretended to be surprised.
Xiang Yu's surprise suddenly made Xue Li and Hua Mulan nervous.
Xue Li hurriedly opened his mouth and took the responsibility and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to blame me, blame me!" It was when I was passing through Chikan that I met her, and the minister saw that she was good at martial arts, so he included her in the army. ”
Hua Mulan on the side could only keep her head down at this time and didn't dare to move.
"Haha, Xue Aiqing, you are a hero saving beauty!"
Xiang Yu looked at the frightened two, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, stepped forward and patted Xue Li on the shoulder, and then turned to leave, leaving the two to look at each other on the same ground.
"What's going on? You're going to be fine, right? ”
"It's also your fault that something happened, you didn't want to leave the barracks earlier, but now it's okay, you've been arrested!" Xue Li said that he walked away.
As soon as Mulan stayed where she was, looking at Xue Li who was leaving, the previous horror in her heart disappeared, but was replaced by a burst of joy, and then she actually hummed a little song and followed Xue Li back to the camp with a smile on her face!
