Chapter 221: Diametrically Opposite Moods
The big tent of the wolf running army in the army, the silence of death, all the generals stood with their heads down, all of them had a look on their faces, the news of the failure of the sneak attack in Fuyuan had come, and the rows of heads hanging on the main city in the forest made all the generals angry, and the eldest prince was already fierce. For this defeat, everyone is unclear why, it is obvious that Lu Dalin, the Dingzhou guard in Shanglin, has been completely confused, and the spies have not found any signs of Fuyuan sending troops, so where did the troops that annihilated Naji's 3,000 iron cavalry on the side of the craftsman's battalion come out? That's the elite of the Wolf Running Army? How could it be that the whole army was wiped out and not a single one escaped?
Hu He leaned on the tiger skin chair, closed his eyes and didn't say a word, since the heads were hanging one by one in the forest, Hu He leaned there like this, his spirit seemed to collapse all of a sudden, and the whole person seemed to be several years older, and the original inconspicuous wrinkles looked very eye-catching at this time.
"Tiger Shuai, launch a large army, storm the forest, and avenge the eldest prince!" Hauge stepped out in one step, and fell to his knees in the center of the tent with a thud, tears streaming down his face.
"Tiger Shuai, send troops, send troops, pay for blood debts and blood, break through the forest, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!" Many generals knelt down in front of Hu He together.
Hu He slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the general who knelt down under the tent, the muscles on his face twitched, very lightly, and seemed to be talking to himself: "I will not raise troops because of anger, but I lost this battle, and I lost without saying anything." Nokia, has the letter to His Majesty been sent? ”
Nokia took a step forward, raised his head and said, "Hu Shuai, it has been sent out in the morning, and I expect to get a reply tonight at the earliest, and tomorrow at the latest." ”
Hu He nodded, "I have pleaded guilty to Your Majesty, you all go down first, I want to be quiet, quiet!" ”
The generals stood up unwillingly, everyone knew Hu He's surname, and once a decision was made, he would not have changed it.
Just as the generals were about to leave the tent, a low-ranking officer of the Wolf Run Army rushed over, saluted the head of Hu He, and said: "Hu Shuai, someone has come from the forest, and he has sent a coffin, and he said that it is the eldest prince's." ”
Hu Huohuo stood up, and the generals in the tent all shouted loudly, if everyone still had a trace of illusion in their hearts before, now all their thoughts have been shattered, who else can make Dingzhou return the body with such fanfare, except for the eldest prince? Everyone's eyes turned to Hu He together.
Hu He's body shook, he almost fell, his face turned pale, his hands pressed against the tiger case, and he didn't want to speak out for a long time.
"Hu Shuai, Dingzhou killed someone, and sent back the corpse to demonstrate, all these Dingzhou people in the future will be killed for the prince to be buried!" Hauge's eyes were fierce, and he said viciously. Suddenly, all the people in the tent will join in.
Nokia opened his mouth and looked at the crowd in the tent with excitement, so he had to swallow back the words that came to his lips.
"Shut up!" Hu He slammed the big case hard, and with a bang, the generals in the tent were startled, and they had never seen Hu He lose his temper so much. "What do you want to do? The people of Dingzhou returned the body of the eldest prince, no matter what the intention, we have to admit this feeling, Najib was honorably killed in battle, and the other party returned his body, which shows that he still respects him very much, do you want Najib's head to hang high in the city of Shanglinli? We have indeed lost this battle, and we have nothing to say about it, do you still want to export your face? ”
After Hu He finished scolding, he flicked his sleeves and strode out of the tent, and the generals looked at each other for a moment, and then followed out one by one.
Outside the camp of the Wolf Running Army, a group of more than ten people rode on horses, and on a horse-drawn cart accompanying them, dragging a coffin, the first person with long sleeves fluttering, was Ji Sichen, director of the Planning and Analysis Department of the Statistics and Survey Department.
Seeing Hu He personally greet him, Ji Sichen was slightly moved, turned over on his horse, took a few steps forward, and greeted Hu He with a fist salute, "Dingzhou Ji Sichen, I've seen Lord Hu Shuai!" ”
"Do you recognize me?" Hu He looked at this powerless scholar, who was still calm in front of thousands of troops, and couldn't help but sigh that Da Chu was really talented, he was such a person with no reputation, and he also looked neither humble nor arrogant in front of him. "You are very bold, aren't you afraid that I will kill you with a knife in my anger?"
Ji Sichen smiled and said: "The two armies are fighting, life and death have their own destiny, we will send Prince Najib's body to show respect to the tiger marshal, and express our admiration for Prince Najib's generous death, you know, he could have surrendered to survive, if the tiger marshal wanted to kill me, then you are not worthy of the famous tiger marshal." ”
Hu He sneered, "Do you think you can afford me?" ”
Ji Sichen said with a smile: "The prestige of the tiger handsome, we are very clear from top to bottom in Dingzhou, and Li Dashuai also said that the tiger marshal is the first enemy of our Dingzhou Pingding grassland, and the ranking is still above the Bayar Great Khan." ”
Hu He smiled, noncommittal, the provocative meaning in Ji Sichen's words was too obvious, and he didn't bother to respond.
"Prince Najib's body has been returned, and Ji is leaving!" Ji Sichen clenched his fists and turned to leave.
"Wait, I have something to ask!" Hu He suddenly spoke.
Ji Sichen was slightly surprised, "Hu Shuai, please speak!" ”
"I sneaked up on the craftsman camp, and I have already concealed Lu Dalin and Fuyuan Yang's sword, and there are no troops in these two places, and you still have soldiers from Dingzhou to set up an ambush in the craftsman camp? How did you see through my plan? ”
Ji Sichen laughed, "Hu Shuai underestimated us in Dingzhou, and didn't hide it from Hu Shuai, in the battle to annihilate Prince Najib, the regular army of Dingzhou did not send a single soldier, but I was the director of the Dingzhou Statistical Survey Department Qingfeng who was in command, and the department under his jurisdiction was only more than 500 guards plus craftsmen and craftsmen. ”
Hu He's eyes contracted, "That's it?" Can you tell us more about the situation? ”
Ji Sichen nodded: "Sure enough, when I came, the director told me that if Hu Shuai inquired, he might as well tell him bluntly!" I didn't expect Hu Shuai to really ask this question. "At the moment, the details of the battle of the general's master battalion are not very detailed, and they will be talked about with Huhe one by one.
After listening to the battle situation, Hu He remained motionless for a long time, then nodded and said: "Director Qingfeng, a weak woman, it is really a good means, okay, I remember her!" ”
Ji Sichen said with a smile: "Director Qingfeng said that if Hu Shuai asks about the details of this battle, you can tell him, and at the same time, there is a sentence that I will give to Hu Shuai." ”
"What?"
"The grassland barbarians, they dare to play tricks with my Huanghuang Dachu, so don't get an axe in the class, or a knife and a gun, and compete with my Dingzhou Erlang! If such a big gift is given, the breeze will not let it go, and it will be accepted one by one! Although it was a relayment of Qingfeng's words, the disdain on Ji Sichen's face was still clear.
Choking at the sound of drawing knives, a group of generals were furious, and they pulled out their sheaths one after another, waiting for Hu He's order, they were going to cut this unashamed Dingzhou envoy into meat sauce.
Hu He's face was uncertain, looked at Ji Sichen, sneered and waved his hand: "You go, tell Director Qingfeng, the chess is still open, although Hu has a small setback, but it does not hinder the overall situation, it is always at the end of the game that you can know who wins and who loses, and at this time you get carried away, it is too early to be complacent!" ”
Seeing Ji Sichen and his party disappear from view, Huhe Gujing Bubo's face finally showed sadness, and he walked to the carriage with difficulty, and waved his hand: "Open the coffin!" ”
The lid of the coffin was slowly removed, and Najib's dead body was presented in front of Hu He's eyes, the wounds on his body were shocking, and the blood had already dried up, looking at the eyes that were glaring, Hu He's eyes finally fell into tears, stretched out his hand, closed his eyes for Najib, and said: "Send the prince back to the camp, and the whole army will mourn!" ”
All the flags of the Wolf Running Army, the helmets of the soldiers were wrapped with white cloths, the three armies mourned, held a funeral for Najib, and Lu Dalin peeked again and again in the forest, wanting to attack again, but Huhe was very strict in guarding, and there was no gap in the end.
Unlike the three armies of the wolf running army camp, there is a lot of jubilation in the forest, the war has not yet started, and such a great victory has been achieved, how can it not be inspiring, this time it is not a figure of the level of Wanyan Bulu, even the Qingbu nobleman Haningshou can not be compared with it, that is the eldest son of the newly established emperor of the Yuanwu Empire, placed in Dachu, that is His Royal Highness the Prince.
Lu Dalin set up a banquet in Shanglin, and invited Shang Haibo and Qingfeng, who came to join the army in Shanglin, and Li Qing also sent a personal escort Tang Hu from Shahe Town to celebrate.
Lu Dalin was beaming with joy, as a landlord, he stood up with a glass of wine, and said loudly: "Everyone, we want to congratulate Li Shuai for the first glass of wine, and I hope that under the leadership of Li Shuai, we will pacify the barbarians and make immortal achievements!" The generals stood up and responded in unison: "Congratulations to Li Shuai!" ”
Lu Dalin smiled and said to Tang Hu: "General Tang, Li Shuai is not here, you are Li Shuai's personal guard, this glass of wine, please drink it on your behalf!" ”
Tang Hu waved his hand again and again, "General Lu, I will be a guard, this wine can't be replaced." As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the breeze. Qingfeng lowered his eyebrows and pretended not to see, but Shang Haibo's heart on the side sank, Tang Hu didn't know the trick of this, but his action couldn't hide it from the people in the hall, as the personal guard of the handsome, wouldn't he be telling the people in the hall that the most representative of the handsome here is Qingfeng?
Immediately said: "Huzi, you are here today on behalf of Dashuai, of course, you can be regarded as a stand-in for Dashuai, why can't you drink it?" Drink! ”
Tang Hu was very in awe of Shang Haibo, and immediately said: "Since you have joined the army and said that you can drink it, then Huzi will drink it!" He looked up and poured a large glass of wine into his mouth, but not a drop was spilled, and there was a cheer in the hall.
"The second glass of wine, but I want to pay tribute to Director Qingfeng!" Lu Dalin looked around and said. Raise the wine glass in your hand to the breeze.
