Chapter 123: Expedition

Get ready? Are you ready to die? The Xianbei cavalry is so strong, Yang Xiuxin said How can I be an opponent, I am desperate to get military power, but I don't want to die.

Zhao Yi saw Yang Xiu's hesitant expression, and frowned slightly: "At this time, the soldiers have been assembled, and the lieutenant is not going out to order the generals soon, he will go out tomorrow, how can he delay the military plane so much." ”

"I, the county guard of Zhuo County, Guo Xun, died at the hands of this Xianbei cavalry, and the captain will definitely avenge Lord Guo Xun." Zhao Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and seeing that Yang Xiu hadn't gone out yet, Zhao Yi said with a smile: "Isn't Du Wei Mo afraid?" ”

"Adults also despise lowly duties, so let's go to them." Yang Xiu snorted and walked out of the military tent.

After Tai Shici saw Yang Xiu leaving, he asked in disbelief: "My lord, if the army is handed over to Yang Xiu's command, I am afraid that these soldiers will not return." ”

"I heard that Yang Xiu led his troops to fight fiercely with the Xianbei cavalry last time, and before he made contact with the enemy, he was invincible." Dian Wei sighed, although there was no war, the outcome of this battle was already predictable.

If Zhao Yi leads his troops to the expedition, his tricks plus Tai Shi Ci and Dian Wei, the two tiger generals, the odds of victory are not small, if it is Yang Xiu's embroidered pillow, Wen Qin really can't imagine, "How can the march and fight be such a child's play, Yang Xiu is cowardly and cowardly, I am afraid that he will be scared away before he sees the Xianbei cavalry." Wen Qin really couldn't understand how Zhao Yi could use someone like Yang Xiu with such a smart person, didn't he put the lives of soldiers to death.

Zhao Yi didn't care about getting up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the school and have a look." "This Yang Xiu's identity is special, not only because he is the governor of Zhuo County, but more importantly, Yang Xiu is also Zhao Zhong's brother-in-law. And what Zhao said last night made Zhao Yi secretly pay attention. said that Zhao Yi held the military power and didn't want to let go.

So this time Zhao Yi handed over the command to Yang Xiu, and asked about the situation of the Xianbei tribe in Wenqin to scare Yang Xiu, as long as Yang Xiu was afraid and did not dare to lead his troops to the battle, then Zhao Yi would take over the military power again, and the Zhao family would not be able to say anything. This is called what will be taken, and what must be given first.

Yang Xiu simply said two words on the school field, which is nothing more than for the country and the people. And the voice is low, the voice is weak, and the confidence is obviously insufficient, and the response of the soldiers is not very large.

Wen Qin shook his head slightly, the generals of the first army didn't even have the confidence to defeat the enemy, how could the soldiers under his command have the confidence to win. The difference in strength between the two armies is one thing, but what is more important is morale. This Yang Xiu is not the material to be a general at all, even if Zhao Yi pushes Yang Xiu to the position of general, it will be useless.

Zhao Yi did not say anything to the soldiers below when he came to power, but said two words of encouragement to Yang Xiu. Roughly speaking, if Yang Xiu can come back alive from this expedition, he will be a hero. If you die, you are a dead hero.

Let all the soldiers return to the camp and prepare, and set out for the battle tomorrow morning.

Unlike the worried expressions on the faces of Wen Qin and the others, Zhao Yi returned to the mansion leisurely, and his face did not change. Tai Shi Ci and Dian Wei were not as confident as Zhao Yi, and they all said to Zhao Yi: "My lord, although Yang Xiu is a captain, he is in charge of military affairs. But as long as the Lord gives the order, I believe that all the Brotherhoods in the barracks will obey the Lord's orders. "Most of the soldiers in the Zhuo County camp were originally the defenders of Fanyang County, and they were the descendants of Zhao Yi, and they were very convinced of Zhao Yi. To put it mildly, if Zhao Yi rebelled, ten out of ten soldiers would follow Zhao Yi.

With such loyal generals and soldiers, why worry about the big thing, Zhao Yi personally helped the two up: "Don't panic, two generals, I have already planned this matter, and there may not be an hour later, and there will be guests visiting." "Let Tai Shi Ci and Dian Wei wait with peace of mind, don't worry.

Wen Qin, who wanted to go back to the room, stopped when he heard this, but wanted to see if Zhao Yi was really like a god.

After half an hour, the doorman came in: "My lord, Yang Duwei and his wife ask to see you." ”

"Here we are." Zhao Yi took a sip of tea and put the bronze jue on the table: "Please!" At the same time, he motioned for Tai Shici and the others to go to the inner room.

Yang Xiu and Zhao walked into the hall and saw Zhao Yi bowing and saluting when he was sitting on the top seat.

Zhao Yi pretended to be surprised and looked at Yang Xiu and Zhao: "I'm going to go on an expedition tomorrow, why are the virtuous couple here?" ”

"It's not been a day or two since we've known adults, and the concubine will tell the truth." The Zhao family did not talk to Zhao Yi about this issue, and directly said his intention, "The concubine wants to ask the adult to lead the soldiers and horses, and the husband will assist from the side." ”

When Yang Xiu and his wife entered the mansion, Zhao Yi had already guessed their intentions, but there was a surprised expression on his face: "The Xianbei cavalry is on the side, and it is an opportunity for those with aspirations to make contributions." Du Wei Naizhuo County is naturally a talent, and the official is also happy to be idle, why does Mrs. have this idea? ”

Zhao smiled bitterly: "Although the concubine has been a captain for several years, he rarely leads the army to meet the enemy. This time it was against the powerful Xianbei cavalry, and Yang Xiu was an opponent. It is nothing that he died in battle, in case the tired army is wiped out, wouldn't it be Yang Xiu's sin. This was a high-sounding statement, but Zhao Yi didn't take it seriously. Zhao's heart is not big enough to think about the army, she cares about the safety of her husband's life.

"My lord, Yang Xiu is still self-aware, and he is not as good as a general when he marches and fights, and this time he happens to follow the adult to learn from his experience." This time, there was something to ask Zhao Yi, and Yang Xiu naturally let go of his attitude. When he said this, Yang Xiu handed over the Duwei Yinxin, who had not been with him for a day, to Zhao Yi again. This means that the military power in his hands has been given back to Zhao Yi.

Looking at the pleading gaze of Yang Xiu and his wife, Zhao Yi put away the seal letter, sighed and nodded: "Since this is the case, the official has no choice but to agree." Looking at Zhao Yi's expression, he seemed to be very reluctant to take on this errand.

Zhao and Yang Xiuju are active people, and asked the subordinate to bring in a small box: "The concubine heard that the adult's life is simple, so she specially brought some supplements to the adult, please smile and accept it." ”

Tonic? Zhao Yi opened a gap in the small box, and the light entered and reflected a yellow, orange and orange light, Zhao Yi accepted the box of money, and the smile on his face was even worse: "Since this is the case, the official is disrespectful." After receiving the money from others, Zhao Yi also said two good words, sent the two out of the house in person, staring at the backs of the two of them drifting apart, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When he entered the house, he took out the gold and silver in a hurry, and the seal was returned to his own hands, and he earned some silver taels. Zhao Yiyan said that this business is good.

Wen Qin and the others walked out of the house and stared at Zhao Yi with a smile on his face: "Zhao Yi, I have seen your insidiousness today. ”

"The word insidious is not enough to describe me, you should say vicious." Zhao Yi was not angry, how could he survive in this troubled world without using some means.

Zhao Yi is not the kind of humble gentleman, and he does not hide what he does. It can be said that he is a real villain. However, Wen Qin also knew that dealing with real villains was often much more reliable than hypocrites. Because you don't know when those sanctimonious guys are going to bite themselves.

"General Wen Qin is so clear about the situation in Xianbei, it can solve the doubts of this official, can he go on the expedition with this official?" Zhao Yi asked Wen Qin. Wen Qin is Nanlou's daughter, if Nanlou learns the news of his daughter's capture, I don't know if he will send someone to rescue him. It's better to take it with you and feel more at ease.

Wen Qinxiu frowned: "Do I have a choice?" ”

Zhao Yi shook his head: "No," then Zhao Yi waved his hand, "Forget it, I can tell you clearly that bringing you into the army is also to spy on you." "There are 2,000 Wuhuan soldiers in Zhao Yi's army, and from the fact that the Wuhuan soldiers concealed Wen Qin's identity, it can be seen that the Wuhuan soldiers are still very loyal to Wen Qin. If Wen Qin fanned the flames in the military camp and instigated the Wuhuan soldiers to rebel against the Zhuojun army, how could it be done.

"Although you are not a good person, your behavior is also fair and fair, and you can be regarded as a good man." Wen Qin was not angry, if she was Zhao Yi, she would also act like this. A general like Zhao Yi has tens of thousands of lives in his hands, so Zhao Yi can't be careless.

Zhao Yi smiled and waved his hand to Dian Wei to send Wen Qin back to rest.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Yi, who was dressed in general armor, accompanied by several generals of Tai Shici, went to the barracks and school. Yang Xiu, who had a respectful face, was waiting for Zhao Yi here early: "General, the soldiers have been assembled." ”

Zhao Yi nodded, walked up to the general platform, and glanced at the soldiers below, Yang Xiu's words to encourage the army yesterday did not have much effect. The sergeants did not have that excited look on their faces, and most of them had blank expressions. The cavalry with such low morale confronted the strong Xianbei cavalry, and the odds of victory were pitiful.

Wen Qin stared at Zhao Yi closely, she wanted to see how Zhao Yi boosted her morale.

"On this expedition, the soldiers have to fight to the death with the Xianbei cavalry, which can be described as nine deaths. But as long as you return victoriously, this officer can guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. This official recently received a report that the Xianbei Kebineng Department invaded the interior of the Southern Xiongnu tribe and plundered a large amount of property, equivalent to two million taels of gold! The officer has decided to incorporate these goods into the military salary. This official and his subordinates will not take a penny! Zhao Yi said the news loudly.

When the 6,000 cavalry and the 10,000 infantry behind them heard the news, their dull faces showed expressions of joy, as if they saw money beckoning to them.

These few short sentences mobilized the enthusiasm of these soldiers, which can be said to be different from before. Wen Qin looked at Zhao Yi's gaze strangely. The heart said that this Zhao Yi is really a genius who marches and fights, and this short sentence is much better than Yang Xiu's tirade yesterday, because Zhao Yi has grasped the inferiority of people. As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food.

At this time, these soldiers were eager to go to the border immediately to fight to the death with the Xianbei cavalry. Gao Shun, Tai Shici and other generals admired Zhao Yi very much.

Dian Wei was a little strange, and muttered in a low voice: "We are inseparable from adults, why don't we know that the imperial court has such a report?" ”

Gao Shun stared at Zhao Yi on the stage with burning eyes: "There is no such report at all, in order to encourage the morale of the army, my lord pretended to lie." That's where adults come in. However, Gao Shun also knew that once these tiger and wolf divisions escaped, not only would they be able to kill the Xianbei cavalry, but I am afraid that the people of the Xianbei tribe would also suffer.

The faces of the sun-lit soldiers were full of golden light, and Zhao Yi waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”
