Chapter Seventy-Three: Bai Xiao Commands the Soldiers
In the vast grassland, a huge army is stationed.
A royal flag was erected in the center of the camp, with a big white swallow character on it, this is the royal flag of Murong Zhuo, the king of Yan, the imperial court has sent heavy troops to fight the thief, but Murong Zhuo, the king of Yan, is still outside the fortress.
It can be seen that it is full of cavalry, and there are many Hu cavalry in the camp.
Two hundred years have passed, and in order to make a comeback, Dayan will inevitably marry with the major tribes on the grassland, and it can be said that there is a lot of Qianghu blood mixed in Dayan's royal bloodline.
Among them, Murong Ci is the worst, Murong Ci's biological mother is a complete Qiang person, so no matter how many military exploits Murong Ci has made, he is not liked by Murong Zhuo, the king of Yan, because Murong Zhuo is a Han person.
Ge Hong: "Your Majesty, the second prince has already left Taihang with his troops." ”
"Unexpectedly, if this rebel wants to be self-reliant, he will only bring humiliation on himself."
"With the current situation of the second prince, it seems that he can't return to the state, so we should do something early." Ge Hong didn't care about Murong Ci, but he was afraid that Murong Ci would ruin his plans because of this.
Murong Zhuo didn't think he had that kind of ability, he could save Murong Ci's life if he was so far away, "Everything was brought on by him, and I can't save him, it's okay if he dies, so that the army of the imperial court can enter the state as soon as possible." ”
"Your Majesty, don't think so? The mother of the second prince is the only daughter of the patriarch of the largest tribe among the Qiang people, if he has any accidents, it will be difficult for Chebineng to disobey the yang in the end, and the death of the second prince will also affect the morale of our army. ”
Murong Zhuo sighed, "How easy it is to say!" At the beginning, this rebel was willing to withdraw, so there was nothing left, but he went to Taihang Mountain to stand on his own, and now the imperial army has entered Jizhou to encircle and suppress, and we don't have many soldiers and horses that can move on the surface..."
"Your Majesty, I misunderstood the meaning of my subordinates, and my subordinates meant that only the two princes would be protected, and the others would be left to their fate."
At the beginning, Ge Hong made a plan to let Murong Ci retreat all the way to Bingzhou, but now it seems that he can only abandon the car to protect the commander, and there is still a way to keep one person safe.
"Then it's up to you." Murong Zhuo undoubtedly trusted Ge Hong, and this trust even exceeded that of his sons.
Ge Hong was the first to come out of the mountain in the Shenfeng line of the Zongheng family, and he had assisted Murong Zhuo for many years, and he had been deeply rooted and no one could shake him.
What Ge Hong wants is full power, so that he can justifiably mobilize the wolf guards around Murong Ci, which is just to abide by the duty of a courtier.
At this time, Murong Ci was exhausted, and after capturing the Flying Fox, Murong Ci would naturally send people to garrison them, and they would be safe after two or three days.
Since Bai Xiao was not around, Murong Ci casually ordered a general to be stationed, this general was born as a bandit, and Murong Ci was not kind to him in normal times, thinking that he would do his best.
Who would have thought that the person entrusted to him was not a person, this general did not resist much at all, and only guarded for two or three hours, and then directly surrendered the city and changed the court.
You must know that after leaving the Flying Fox, there is a plain outside, and it will be much easier for the imperial court to catch up.
When Murong Ci led the troops into Taihang Mountain, he had to abandon the war horses in the army, and now that there are no war horses in the army, he can't run fast at all!
Without the cavalry of the war horse, it is the phoenix that has fallen to the ground, one by one, and even ordinary soldiers can't run.
Originally, most of the people in the army were Qi people, only a small number of Yan people, Murong Ci in order to stand on his own, he treated those Yan people equally, and those Yan people were naturally dissatisfied in their hearts, but now that there was such a faint move at the critical moment, the army could be said to be full of complaints, neither Yan people nor Qi people were on his side.
On the contrary, Bai Xiao's position is becoming more and more stable, of course, this is inevitably due to Qi Yang's contributions, which have created momentum for Bai Xiao in the army.
It is already a bit of a meritorious master, although Murong Ci does not have a taste in his heart, he can only rely on Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao is now the chief general in the army, and the people below are all watching? The surroundings are still embattled, and the pressure is quite large, "Qi Yang, do you think we can go back to Bingzhou?" ”
"Big brother, are you doubting yourself? Do you want me to find a woman to restore your confidence? ”
"Get out."
Thanks to Qi Yang's presence, otherwise Bai Xiao would have been unable to resist leading people away, and it would not be fun for a person who had never learned the art of war and the way of leading soldiers to lead an army.
Deserters have begun to appear in the army, and it is normal for everyone to be afraid of death.
Bai Xiao still wishes more people would leave? The road ahead is a dangerous road of no return, and you can live well if you leave.
But Bai Xiao never thought that the Nightmare Wolf Guard would have such a problem, and it was even more serious that he mutinied, broke into Murong Ci's camp, and directly robbed Murong Ci.
It was too late for Bai Xiao to know, Bai Xiao was patrolling the front camp at that time, and they left from the back camp, which was premeditated.
Bai Xiao can only stabilize the army's morale now, don't rob the boss, the next road is even more difficult.
Qi Yang also went down and walked around, "Big brother, this should be my senior brother's ghost?" ”
"I don't care who did it, Murong Ci has been robbed, how can I take this soldier!"
"It's just in control of the army!" Qi Yang was optimistic.
Bai Xiao: "It's not that I don't want military power, it feels good to be followed and worshipped, but I also want to save my life!" ”
"Big brother, don't forget that you are a child of the Bai family, and you have been ordered by the emperor, you will have no excuse to lead the troops to kill them all, and it will be easier for us to return to Bingzhou alive."
came out of Qi Yang's mouth, but it became a good thing.
Bai Xiao can still be fooled by him, if Du Ang's mind is so easy to guess, he will not be the general of the dynasty.
But he could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Bai Xiao still wrote a letter to Du Ang, saying that his imperial order could not be stopped.
After Du Ang received the letter, he immediately found Du Yun, with the intention of taking the school examination, "Yun'er, what do you think of this letter?" ”
"Bai Xiao can't have the emperor's order, otherwise we don't know about it."
"Not necessarily, Bai Xiao is a member of the Xuanwu Division."
"How is this possible? It is impossible for the Bai family to join the Xuanwu Division. "This is simply incredible in Du Yun's opinion, even if Xuanwu Si attacks the Bai family, it is much more reliable than this.
Du Yun's reaction at this time was not at all unexpected by Du Ang, and Du Ang was also shocked when he knew it, "This is the royal family, when you think you know very well, in fact, you don't know at all, and it will always be just the tip of the iceberg." ”
"Shall we continue the pursuit, then?"
"My father has not received any imperial orders and can only continue to pursue, but we can't kill him, but in addition to explaining to His Majesty, we must also explain to the people of the world, so we ordered the soldiers of the counties and counties along the way to intercept and kill."
Jiang is still old and spicy, and Du Yun at this time is especially obedient to his father.
In one thing and two methods, Du Ang wants to save face, and he will not suffer on either side.
However, this left Bai Xiao and the others with a glimmer of life, Bai Xiao obviously had an easier path to take, but he chose the most difficult path.
He is not a good person, but he is not a bad person, and he will give everything for the sake of the people he cherishes.
The government soldiers of those counties, although they received Du Ang's death order, but they were also yang and yin, they were originally people who were messing around, and a few were willing to work hard.
The pressure on Bai Xiao's side is much less, but he is facing another problem, there is no food in the army.
When I left Taihang Mountain, I was in a hurry, and I was patronizing to get those belongings, who cares about what grain and grass! Are you hungry now?
I have been drinking porridge since yesterday, and Bai Xiao can still lead by example, but I am afraid that I will not even be able to drink porridge in two days.
Bai Xiao immediately summoned a few henchmen to discuss the matter, is the flame high for everyone to gather firewood?
Jiao Meng blurted out directly, "Grab the grain." ”
The military discipline of the state army is a little worse, although it does not kill people and set fires, but it still happens from time to time to grab something.
Luo Jun: "Absolutely not, aren't we rich?" We can buy food from the common people. ”
Guan Qian doesn't like to use his brains, but it doesn't mean that he has no brains, after all, he has eaten a few more years than Luo Jun, "Luo Jun, don't be whimsical, we are anti-thieves now, who dares to sell it to us!" ”
"Then pay a high price, money can make the devil grind." What Luo Jun said was really childish.
Lu Qin was born as a postal supervisor, so he knows the local affairs best, "It's not okay to pay a high price, the grain seller is considered to collude with the thief, and no one will die for that money." ”
Qi Yang: "We can only grab food, how can we be right, we have to be a thief, just throw some money when we leave, and let the people mistakenly think that we fell unintentionally." ”
It seems that he can only grab food, and Bai Xiao also understands that there is no other choice at all, "Remember for me, you can't kill people no matter what." ”
"Whoa."
Qi Yang added, "You can hit people." ”
"Whoa." This one was noticeably louder than the one just now.
Ordinary people are also lethal, and it is not good if there are casualties, and no one wants to sit idly by.
