Cheng Wuting sent many groups of scouts to investigate, and the Turks really retreated. They threw down tens of thousands of corpses at the foot of the Great Wall and disappeared like a strange wind.

Rao is like this, Cheng Wuting does not dare to relax, dare not slack off, and has no reason to celebrate any victory. His expression was more sad and indignant.

The newly arrived 6,000 fresh troops went to garrison the city defense, and the 800 remnants under Cheng Wuting finally had a respite. Xue Shao took the people of the Three Swords Brigade to comfort them.

The recruits of the Third Brigade, who were tried as hairy boys by the veterans under the command of Evil Come, completely faded away from their previous youth and ignorance after experiencing a Shuozhou offensive and defensive battle and a black sand attack on them, and became the real robe in the minds of the veterans, rather than a recruit pole that was a head shorter than them.

Moreover, the great victory in the Black Desert Raid directly led to the withdrawal of the Turkic troops. Therefore, the veterans began to have extra respect for the people of the Third Brigade, and when they looked at them, they also changed from "looking down" to "looking up".

The guards of the 3rd Brigade clearly felt that their image in the minds of the veterans had changed, and everyone's hearts were filled with a strong sense of pride and honor, and they all took the honor of reporting the name "I am a member of the Three Swords Brigade".

For a time, the Three Knife Brigade became an incomparably loud gold-lettered signboard in Shuozhou City. Even the army led by the newcomer Cheng Qizhi and others was full of the name of the "Three Swords Brigade", and was amazed and worshiped by their deeds.

The Triumphant return of the Three Blades Brigade, everyone has become a supreme glorious hero. It's just that there are seventy people who survived the Three Blades, and it is unlikely that people will remember the names of each of them. But there is a name that everyone in Shuozhou knows very well and talks about every day.

This person is not Xue Shao, the brigade commander of the Three Swords Brigade, nor Xue Chuyu who descended from the gods, but the heroine of the female middle school known as "I have big breasts" - General An!

In places like the Shuozhou front line and the field army brigade, women are absolutely rare, and the occasional sheep seen may be male. The moon slave is young and beautiful, and it is an alternative and strange existence. And if this wonderful flower can fight and not lose to men, plus she has made miraculous achievements on the battlefield, and she is a high-spirited and straightforward woman - she is not famous, it is really unreasonable!

General An of the Three Swords Brigade has become the most shining absolute idol in the entire Shuozhou. There are thousands of guards here, some people may not know Cheng Wuting and some people don't know Xue Shao, but absolutely everyone knows Yue Nu. As long as the moon slave walks into Shuozhou City, it will definitely gather thousands of attention, and the style is so cool that it can't be done.

The moon slave was a little unaccustomed at first, and a little nervous. But then I enjoyed it more and more. In the past, she was just a slave hidden in the boudoir, and she didn't know what the world outside the boudoir was. Now that she has had such an experience, she feels as if she was born to belong to the army. Although this is a world that belongs to men, but she was born with such a character and practiced such skills, if she doesn't make a living in the army, it will definitely be in vain!

It would be nice to be able to stay in the army forever! ——In the heart of the moon slave, there is such a luxury.

But thinking about it, Yue Nu didn't dare to say such a thing to Xue Shao. Although she enjoyed the treatment of a hero made her particularly useful, she never forgot that the moon slave is the moon slave, whether it is carrying tea and pouring water at home or capturing and killing enemy generals in front of the two armies, the moon slave is always just the shadow of the son.

After a little settlement and rest, the city of Shuozhou gradually became peaceful.

The next day, Xue Shao came to visit Cheng Wuting in private. After entering the city yesterday, Xue Shao had already heard some rumors about Li Xiantong, and today he just came to ask for a clear understanding.

Cheng Wuting did not disguise and embellish, and told Xue Shao some of Li Xiantong's words and deeds before and after.

Xue Shao smiled, "This guy is really haunted!" ”

"Li Xiantong is planning to kill his son, isn't the son not shocked or angry?" Cheng Wu was quite surprised.

Xue Shao smiled and said, "If he doesn't do this, I'll be surprised." It's just that I didn't expect that their grandfather and grandson would also hack General Cheng. ”

"yes, I didn't think of that at first." Cheng Wuting's expression suddenly darkened, and he sighed again and smashed his fist on his thigh, "More than 10,000 brothers, only 800 are dead!" - Li Chongyi, that old thief, if he had sent reinforcements a few days earlier, why would my poor brothers be like this?! ”

Xue Shao nodded with his eyebrows furrowed, "Li Chongyi is the chief of the march, and he doesn't dare not send troops to rescue him in a border crisis." But when to send troops, it was all in his thoughts. Judging from the current situation, his mind is very vicious, he seems to want to let General Cheng's subordinates lose their vitality, but not to lose the city and damage the country, so that he can set himself on fire. This old thief embryo is really deep enough! ”

"Old thief, I swear to you!!" Cheng Wuting's eyes were red and thunder was screaming, his fists smashed down angrily, and the coffee table in front of him where the tea was placed was shattered!

"General!!" The lieutenant outside the door somehow hurried in.

"It's all out of the blue, it's none of your business! Go a little farther for me! Cheng Wuting loudly repelled them.

This kind of thing, these generals under his command don't know how to do it. Because not only can they not solve any problems, but they may also leave a lot of shadows and burdens in their hearts. Otherwise, it is very likely to affect the army and unity, and the loyalty of the soldiers to the imperial court.

Just like those robes who know that they will go to the city to kill the enemy without hesitation, even if Cheng Wuting suffers more grievances and bitterness, he will only put it in his own stomach.

For 30 years, Cheng Wuting has always believed that since he is a general in command, he must be responsible for the life and death of his brothers, and he must also shoulder the burden from above.

"General Evil, is really a very pure and good general." Xue Shao praised from the bottom of his heart, "I should take the evil general as an example!" ”

"Don't!" Cheng Wuting waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "Cheng is too dull, and he has been played by those scholars in power all the year round, and he has killed many brothers who don't know how many liver and gall brothers. In the first battle of Shuozhou, the Shuofang army died nine times. My tens of thousands of blood and water brothers are all buried at the foot of the Great Wall. If Lao Cheng could be smarter to see through the sinister intentions of the old thief earlier, and be smarter to respond and take precautions earlier, why is this so? ”

"It's already here, and the general doesn't have to blame himself too much." Xue Shao said, "As the saying goes, it's not too late to make amends. The general still has to look forward to avoid something like this from happening again. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Wuting woke up, "You're right. The dead are gone, and I must be responsible for my brothers who are still alive and not let them go down the path of unjust death. Li Chongyi, that old thief, I must kill him with my own hands and avenge my brothers who died! and Li Xiantong's little miscellaneous pieces, he is not a good thing, just kill the same! ”

Xue Shao smiled and said, "That's right, both of these grandfathers and grandsons deserve to die." But the root cause of all the contradictions is actually not the two of them. Have the generals ever met, and where are they? ”

Cheng Wuting frowned, "Lao Cheng rarely returns to Chang'an once in a few years, people are not in the court, and they rarely know the secrets of the government." only vaguely knew that Li Shangdan, the general of Yulinwei, was in charge of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, which made the queen of heaven quite jealous. The two of them are on the same page, but there is an emperor on them. As a result, they had no choice but to turn the fighting into private, to the field and to the borders. ”

"General Cheng is wise and has excellent insights." Xue Shao said, "It's just a little biased. How can Li Shangdan dare to compete with the diva? ”

"......" Cheng Wuting was slightly stunned, and nodded knowingly, so there was no need to say anything.

Li Shangdan is just a loyal lackey raised by the emperor, and the emperor asks him to bark at whomever he wants, he can only bark at whomever - then in the final analysis, the tragic death of Shuo Fangjun is rooted in the struggle for power between the emperor and the queen of heaven!

There are some things that Xue Shao is not very convenient to tell Cheng Wu Tingming, and it is good that he knows it in his heart. Especially some things between the two saints, for people in this era, they are definitely "political taboos" that they dare not ask about or discuss.

As for the things between the two saints, Xue Shao knew far more than anyone in these eras.

Over the years, Emperor Li Zhi relied heavily on his empress in the strategy of governing the country due to various reasons such as body, personality and talent. Up to now, Wu Zetian has directly represented the emperor in the Linchao Dynasty.

As an emperor, Li Zhi is the only one in the world. Although he is unable to govern the country, it does not mean that he will be willing to give up his imperial power and succumb to others, so he carefully cultivated his queen as the spokesperson of the government, and then he only needs to manage his own queen.

Over the years, Emperor Li Zhi has not only trusted and trusted Empress Wu, but also tried his best to restrain her in various ways to prevent himself from being completely hollowed out.

Politically, the major military affairs of the court, similar to the major events of Pei Xingjian's Northern Expedition with 300,000 troops, must be decided by Li Zhi.

Militarily, Empress Wu wants to get her hands on the Imperial Forest Army? Don't! - Li Shangdan, bite her for me!

In terms of personnel, the appointment power of the prime minister is definitely firmly grasped by Li Zhi, and Hao Chujun has been fighting against Empress Wu in the court for so many years, and he will not retire from the phase unless he is old and dying. As for the other officials, Li Zhida can turn a blind eye. Of course, there is another exception: the Wu family cannot be a big official casually, and if they make mistakes, they must be severely punished and double standards are implemented. Didn't Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi just be picked up? - The queen's maiden relatives want to develop and grow in Li Tang's court, but there is no way!

As for the economy, culture, and life, Li Zhi did not care about small matters, and once it came to major issues of principle, Li Zhi would absolutely not give in. Even for the harem competition, Li Zhi has been manipulating behind his back. Take the tragic death of Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu as an example, if it were not for the acquiescence and instruction of Emperor Li Zhi, would Empress Wu dare to chop off the hands and feet of these two former queens and one of the four concubines who lost power and soak them into the wine jar?

Therefore, don't look at the fact that Empress Wu is now in power, in the final analysis, she is still just a spokesperson for Li Zhi.

This is like Li Zhi is the owner of a company, even if he travels outside all the year round and does not return to the company, the company is still his; Wu Zetian showed up every day to manage all the big and small things in the company, and it looked like he had completely taken over the entire company. But in fact, she is just a CEO, as long as Li Zhi is alive for a day, the company will not be hers for a day!

Xue Shao's few words made Cheng Wuting's heart open, and he suddenly felt a little disheartened.

"We are waiting for a martial artist, and if we die, we will die, but we want to protect the territory and the people and serve the country." Cheng Wuting muttered, "But I don't want to die in political disputes, conspiracies, or at the hands of my own people!" …… Cheng is a brother who died more than 10,000 times, chilling! ”

Xue Shao also sighed lightly, I was also quite chilled, but there was no way to do it. The dispute between the two saints at the highest political level will lead to the emergence of two factions below, and the two factions will suffer casualties due to secret fighting, which is a natural thing.

The 10,000 Shuo Fang army was just a part of the many victims.

If you want to eliminate such negative factors from the root, there is only one way - let the two saints become the only saints!

Who can do this kind of thing?
