Chapter 533: After the War
Before the war here ended, Yin Fu had to go to meet the generals of Jizhou, and avoided talking about their previous "retreat from the war and not participating in the war", just blindly grateful and enveloped.
Yang Tongcai, the commander of Jizhou, was hijacked by the audience on the battlefield and forced to withdraw from the battlefield, and he was always frightened, afraid not of the Jizhou people, but of the revenge of the He Rong people after the war.
Completely contrary to Yang Tongcai's expectations, He Rongren was actually defeated, he saw the opportunity quickly, and ordered to chase down the defeated soldiers, more enthusiastically than other armies.
Yin Fu still didn't ask, didn't investigate, pretended not to know, attributed the credit to Yang Tongcai, and laughed with him.
Finally returned to the camp, Yin Fu was exhausted, and was carried into the tent by the guards, he only refused to drink water, refused to eat, and immediately ordered someone to invite Xu Ji.
Xu Ji came back late, he also found a horse on the battlefield, and accompanied Zhang Shiqing to chase the dead and defeat, although he didn't catch up with any of them, but gathered a group of descendant troops, turned back to the battlefield to help carry the wounded soldiers.
Although this battle was a great victory, the descending army and Yin Fu's Jizhou army also suffered many casualties.
Xu Ji was sweaty, took off his armor outside the tent, and came in to meet Yin Fu.
Yin Fu's complexion regained slightly, looked at Xu Ji and smiled: "After all, he is a young man." ”
Xu Ji squeezed out a smile, "It's just barely supporting." ”
"Please take a seat."
Yin Fu was half-lying on the bed and let out a long sigh, "Mr. Xu is so strict." Unconsciously, Yin Fu, like others, called Xu Ji "Mr.", not "Childe".
"I am not 100% sure, and I dare not publicize it in advance."
"Clearly, of course, you have to be careful with your tactics. What about the Golden Saint Woman? ”
"Haven't come back yet."
"It is said that she brought back the Yizhou Army from Liangnan, and she was not hindered along the way?"
"The general of the fierce army sent his cronies to visit the king of Qiang secretly, which aroused Yang Mengzhi's suspicions, and the two armies were wary of each other, and they heard that the Yizhou army was just borrowing the road, and they did not dare to send troops to intercept it."
Yin Fu nodded again and again, and he roughly understood in his heart, "Mr. Xu will make another miraculous achievement, and the next step will be to pacify Liangzhou, right?" ”
Xu Ji knew that Yin Fu was testing himself, and replied: "Lord Yin is going back to Jizhou?" ”
"Of course, I have to go back to report to the imperial court, not to mention that the soldiers of Jizhou have been homesick for a long time and are looking forward to going back."
"If Lord Yin allows it, I hope to go on the road with the Jizhou army."
Yin Fu was overjoyed, sat up and said, "I can't ask for it, but Mr. Xu doesn't need to stay to help the World Army?" ”
Xu Ji shook his head, "Yang Mengzhi and King Qiang have a disagreement, and the descending army and the fierce army generals will be able to successfully pacify Liangzhou with the power of the new victory." ”
"But the Jizhou army can't just leave."
"If Lord Yin has a heart, it is enough to send troops to the border of Liangzhou with the generals of the fierce army to cheer, I believe that Yang Mengzhi and King Qiang will never dare to fight."
"The Golden Saintess and the fierce army general are very kind to the Jizhou army, and I must help with this little favor. I would also like to ask Mr. Xu to do me a favor. ”
"Lord Yin, please speak."
Yin Fu hesitated for a moment and said: "Mr. Xu concealed the news of the Golden Saintess borrowing troops from everyone, just to attack He Rongren by surprise, but Mr. Xu did not prevent the decisive battle, and many soldiers died as a result - forgive me for being rude, do you feel guilty in Mr. Xu's heart?" ”
Xu Ji thought for a while and replied, "Nothing." ”
Yin Fu nodded, "If you can't completely defeat He Rongren in this battle, there will be troubles in the future, and Mr. Xu did the right thing." It is precisely because Mr. Xu is not ashamed that I want to ask you for help. ”
Yin Fu got out of bed and put on his shoes, raised his hand to signal that Xu Ji didn't have to get up, walked to the door by himself, ordered the guards outside to get a pot of wine, checked the situation by the way, confirmed that no one was eavesdropping, returned to Xu Ji, and said: "Yang Tongcai is a trouble, the generals of Jizhou did not kill him, and left the trouble to me, if Mr. Xu can help me get rid of ......"
"I'm not an assassin." Xu Ji smiled, and then added: "No longer an assassin." ”
"Mr. Xu doesn't have to do it himself, just help me come up with an idea. If there is no accident, Yang Tongcai will return to Jizhou with me, this person is greedy and incompetent, if he wins the military power, the situation in Jizhou will be even more irreparable, but the imperial court ...... Alas, don't mention it. But Yang Tongcai is not guilty, I am a little ...... I can't bear it. ”
Xu Ji said with a smile: "This matter is in a hurry, and we will talk about it after we hit the road, and Lord Yin must not show dissatisfaction." ”
"Don't worry, I still understand this truth, Yang Tongcai shouldn't have the slightest doubt about me." Yin Fu sighed again, "I'm really ...... to do this kind of thing I can't help it, and I hope Mr. Xu doesn't misunderstand what I mean. ”
"No, it won't."
The guards sent wine in, Xu Ji got up to say goodbye, Yin Fu knew that he didn't drink well, and he didn't force him to stay, so he sent it to the door and said, "Mr. Xu will also go to Liangzhou together, right?" ”
"Liangzhou doesn't need me, I will go to Bingzhou the day after tomorrow, I won't go too fast, Lord Yin can catch up with me."
Yin Fu was taken aback, and invited Xu Ji back to the tent, "Although He Rongren was defeated, Qinzhou is still in chaos, Mr. Xu is on the road alone, how can he be safe?" ”
"General Tang must be willing to give me a ride."
"Oh. But the Golden Saintess ......," Yin Fu smiled, "Mr. Xu has his own ideas. After Mr. Xu sets the route, be sure to let me know. ”
Xu Ji gave up his hand and said goodbye for the second time.
The soldiers who pursued He Rongren returned to the camp one after another, and captured a lot, but failed to catch Shan Yu's mother and son, and it is said that the eldest wife left the king to supervise the army, and returned to the outside with her young son.
Rao is like this, He Rongren still suffered heavy losses, even more than the defeat of Jingzhou, and it is estimated that they will not dare to enter the fortress again in a few years.
Yang Mengjun and Tie Fei came back together and immediately arranged a celebration banquet, but the Golden Holy Maiden did not return to the camp together, but went directly back to the rear valley to visit the young brother who had not been seen for a long time.
Tie Fei and Xu Ji reunited, and the first sentence said: "Mr. Xu deceived us again." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xu Ji said in surprise.
"The ancient road is not easy to walk, and it has not been repaired, did Mr. Xu already know about it?" Iron Eagle asked with a smile, not angry.
Xu Ji also smiled: "General Tie Er overestimated my ability, I have never been to Liangzhou, but I have only read the records of the ancient road in the book, how can I know the road conditions over there?" ”
"In that case, how does Mr. Xu know that we are still in Liangnan, let the Golden Holy Maiden go and invite him?"
"I don't know if the ancient road is smooth or not, but I know that General Tie Er is unwilling, and after getting the grain and grass, he may not be in a hurry to return to Yizhou."
Tie Fei was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Those who know me, Mr. Xu." ”
"Lucky guess."
Tie Fei has always been haunted by the defeat of Hanzhou, and always feels that it has nothing to do with his venture into Qinzhou, so after borrowing grain and grass from Liangnan, he did not rush to leave, but in the name of building roads, he paused and did not leave, and sent scouts from afar to inquire about the movements of He Rongren in Qinzhou.
As soon as the golden saintess arrived, explaining the situation in Liangbei, Tie Ying was immediately moved, and soon decided to lead the army north.
The banquet was grand and cheerful, the table was set up outside the tent, and people kept joining, all of them were generals who had just returned, nearly two watch days, Tang Weitian appeared, covered in blood, everywhere he went, he greeted each other with cheers, he accepted it calmly, entered the tent to meet the main general, and drank wine with a bowl in his hand.
After drinking three bowls of wine in a row, Tang Weitian scolded a dirty word, and everyone was stunned, not understanding why he was angry, and then saw him fall to the ground and faint.
The blood on Tang Weitian's body is not all someone else's.
Lang Zhong was summoned, and after careful inspection, he said that although General Tang was injured, it was not serious, and he fainted because he was too tired and drank too quickly.
At this end of the banquet, Yang Mengjun sent the iron eagle out of the camp, and then ordered the camp to be cleaned up and the wounded to be housed.
Yang Mengjun left Xu Ji and explained to him alone: "The Golden Holy Maiden is worried about the young king, so she will go first, she said that Mr. Xu will not blame, and said...... He also said that Mr. Xu understood what she meant. ”
"Understood." Xu Ji smiled.
Yang Mengjun looked confused, obviously he didn't understand, but he didn't want to ask again, so he said: "I'm going to take the troops back to Liangzhou to quell the chaos, does Mr. Xu think it's okay?" What are the odds? ”
"The sooner you get back to cooling, the higher the odds of winning, not to mention that you are nine out of ten, but also seven or eight percent sure."
Yang Mengjun nodded again and again, "With Mr. Xu's words, I feel much more at ease." Tomorrow, I will reorganize the team and lead some people to Liangzhou first, and Mr. Xu will go with me. ”
"The general of the fierce army will win here, I will not go, I will rest for a day, and I will go to Bingzhou."
"Mr. Xu has made this great contribution, and the Yang family of Liangzhou has not repaid it, why do you have to leave?" Yang Mengjun was very surprised.
"This is the credit of General Tan Wusense, I'm just giving a boost. The situation in Bingzhou is critical, King Jin is my sworn brother, King Liang is my old friend, I have to rush to quell the war as soon as possible. ”
Yang Mengjun nodded and said, "It's really Mr. Xu, it's a pity, the Golden Saintess, ......."
"She stays here, if the fierce army general can provide a place to live in Liangzhou, she must be willing to accept it."
"Absolutely." Yang Mengjun blurted out, doubting in his heart, but he didn't want to ask more.
After saying goodbye to Yang Mengjun, Xu Ji went to visit Tang Weitian again.
Tang Weitian had woken up, without a coat, with a lot of cloth wrapped around his body, he was sitting on the bed drinking and eating meat, and when he saw Xu Ji, he smiled and said: "Why don't you drink alcohol or eat meat, then don't you starve to death?" Heal the wound to eat more, Childe said right? ”
"Yes." Xu Ji agreed.
Tang Weitian pushed the wine and meat, Xu Ji shook his head, watched him eat for a while, and said, "The day after tomorrow, you will follow me on the road." ”
"Hmm." Tang Weitian replied with a sullen head.
"How many people do you think would be willing to go with you?"
Tang Weitian raised his head and thought for a while, "If it is as little as one thousand eight hundred, as much as two or three thousand." The Yizhou soldiers who came with me died a lot, or there could be more. ”
"You try to find as many people as possible, and prepare enough food and grass and food."
"Okay." Tang Weitian continued to drink, and after a long time, he looked up and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"You have to keep it a secret before I can tell you."
Tang Weitian put down the bowl and meat, closed his lips tightly, and shook his head vigorously, indicating that he would never leak secrets.
"Xijing."
"Huh?" Tang Weitian was taken aback.
"Qinzhou is empty, first-come, first-served, this is your chance to be alone."
"Alone? Hehe, do I have what it takes? ”
"Further back, can you think that you will be a general?"
"I can't think of it. Okay, Childe said to take Xijing, let's go and take Xijing! Tang was thriving for the will of heaven, and there was no hesitation.
