Gu Hongyi came out of the Zhizhou Yamen with a complicated mood, and outside the door, the generals under him, led by Yan Qi, saw him come out and greeted him.

Gu Hongyi saw the indignation on everyone's faces, and raised his hands, not angry and arrogant.

Yan Qi didn't hide his doubts, and he didn't care about the fact that he was still in the Zhizhou Yamen, and said at the moment: "General, this matter is unfair. ”

Gu Hongyi swept over the people present and asked, "You also think so?" ”

Everyone nodded. One of them said: "General, we have been defending the city for nearly three months, and more than half of our brothers have been killed or wounded, but now we are waiting for us like this, and we are not convinced." ”

Gu Hongyi shook his head: "The affairs of the court, you and I are on the border, there is no need to talk about it, and I can't resist the meaning of those bigwigs." Since you have eaten this military ration, it is within your duty to defend the border and defend the country! Dead and wounded brothers, the imperial court's pension money will come down soon, and we who are alive ......" Gu Hongyi choked up for a while, "We who are alive still have things to do...... Now that everyone has gone to various places, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see you again afterwards, I only hope that you can remember Xingzhou, remember these dead comrades, and always remember that you are a soldier......"

Gu Hongyi said for a while, everyone was extremely convinced of him on weekdays, and he didn't say anything more now, Gu Hongyi patted Yan Qi on the shoulder: "The name is not like Xingzhou, you go to the camera to act." Then he looked at them and laughed, "Brothers, take care from now on!" ”

Gu Hongyi said this, returned to the camp, and after a simple handover, he had already taken his guards to Guide Mansion.

Yan Qi and the others did not leave immediately. Three days later, Tang Tong led the 500 Jingbian army back to Xingzhou, and before having a long talk with Qin Ruihe, he met with Yan Qi and others.

Tang Tong also stayed in the Anguo Army before going to Jingbian Army, and the relationship between the two was good.

In front of the small pavilion that was simply built outside Xingzhou City, Tang Tong jumped off his horse and greeted him.

Seeing this, Yan Qi also dismounted. Neither of them expected to bump into such a place.

Tang Tong clenched his fists: "I have seen the general in my humble position." ”

Yan Qi's eyes puffed: "Are you sarcastic about me?" ”

Tang Tong put away his playfulness and said angrily: "I wanted to have a drink together after I came back, but I didn't want to leave before I entered the city." ”

"Ben General didn't expect that your kid would end up on such a good errand when he came back." Yan Qi looked like Lao Tzu was envious, laughed, pulled Tang Tong aside, and said in a low voice: "The Anguo Army will be rebuilt sooner or later, I think your kid is lucky, although I have given you a commander of the Armed Forces Division, I think it won't be long before this Anguo Army commander falls on you!" ”

When Yan Qi said this, he laughed, and was sincerely happy: "It's not easy for us people to do something, you kid can have a little heart and don't talk about it." ”

Tang Tong nodded and said, "Daimyo's side, you have to worry about it, although the soldiers will not be able to burn there for a while and a half, but the bandit trouble has always been very serious...... The situation is more dire than ours...... Officials and bandits collude, you should be careful. ”

Yan Qi nodded: "Those guys in Liangshanbo almost came over this time, according to this, I'm afraid they have done a large part of the expansion." Speaking of this, Yan Qi paused and laughed, "Let's not talk about these things, I'm a small and famous commander of the Armed Forces Division, and I can't get involved in these things." What's more, over the years, I have never fallen behind in the matter of protecting my life......"

This is a bit of a joke. Tang Tong didn't mean to take a look, and said: "The situation has not been good these years, you and I are here, and many things can no longer be the master!" ”

The cold winter wind swept from between the dead branches of the aspen, blowing the hot pain on the face, the military horses snorted, exhaled the heat, hunted with flags, and killed indescribably!

On the ruined city wall in the distance, traces of construction can be seen everywhere, black marks from burning oil splashed on fire, traces of falling stones from rolling wood, and traces of collision of arrows......

Tang Tong took his gaze and came back, and Yan Qi on the side had already turned over and got on his horse......

"Take care ......"

"Take care ......"

By the moat, all the willows planted in previous years had been cut down, and Tang Tong looked at the scorched earth in front of him, but he also thought that a heavy snow could fall......

Tang Tong exhaled a breath of heat, turned over his horse, and entered the city!

In front of the Zhizhou Yamen, Qin Ruihe was already waiting for him.

Tang Tong dismounted from a distance and hurried up to meet him.

Qin Ruihe greeted him with a smile: "General Tang has arrived, follow me in." ”

Tang Tong hugged his fists and saw it, and the two entered the door one after the other, and after sitting down, Tang Tong opened his mouth: "General Qin asked him to bring a letter to my lord." ”

Qin Ruihe nodded: "There is General Lao." How about Ruiqing? Before the war, I received a letter from home, and the letter mentioned that Ruiqing had not been to the house for a long time, and my mother was very worried. ”

Tang Tong stood up and said: "Since the founding of the Jingbian Army, it has been conducting guerrilla operations in the border areas, and there is no effective defense area, so it is not convenient to write letters...... At the beginning of the battle, General Qin led his troops to the Daimyo's side, but he didn't get in touch with him for a long time! This letter was bumped into at the Maojin ferry a month ago, and the general instructed the lowly to send the letter, but he never found the post station......"

Qin Ruihe smiled, didn't say anything more, and said, "You and General Yan have already met outside the city, so you must already know the imperial court's arrangements for you, right?" ”

Tang Tong nodded: "I already know." ”

"Well, if that's the case, I won't be verbose. From today onwards, the defense of Xingzhou will be handed over to you......"

"My lord, this ......"

"It's nothing, I have received a message earlier, the new Zhizhou has already arrived in Xingzhou, and he should be able to reach Xingzhou tomorrow!"

"My lord, do you want this?"

"Go to Xiliang." Qin Ruihe said a word and said with a smile: "The preacher of the Liangwang Mansion." ”

Tang Tong's brows furrowed.

Qin Ruihe shook his head: "The letter from home has already mentioned it, this matter is reasonable, many things are inconvenient to talk about at the moment, and it must no longer be a secret after a while...... I'm afraid it's not as simple as it is on the surface......"

Tang Tong nodded: "I know it." ”

Qin Ruihe smiled, waved his hand and said, "The general doesn't need to be so polite, you have worked with Ruiqing, you should know that neither he nor I like these false courtesies...... It's just that because of the occasion, I have to be restrained...... He ran to the barracks, but I had to carry it every day, and it was also hard. ”

After talking for a while, Qin Ruihe saw that it was getting late, got up and said: "If you don't mind, let's have dinner with me, this time there are many things that need to be told to the general, after tomorrow, the general may not have time......"

Tang Tong got up and responded: "Dare not obey ...... order"
