PS: The general of the Praetorian Guard came to report that Helian Pyran's seven male pets had been eaten by wild beasts to the point that only bones remained. Bo Bo said to open the beast prison immediately and let all the beasts go. The general said that he should load the car and send it farther away, so as not to hurt the pedestrians. Bo Bo was about to say what you are talking about, when he suddenly remembered that Helian Hui only brought a handful of guards, and was on the way at the moment, so he said that there was no need to let go, just poison all of them in the beast prison, and give you a few animal skins.

The man walked away happily.

Helian Bo stood up, walked to the door, and looked at the dark clouds in the sky.

The Han people say that the dragon is in the clouds.

In fact, how can there be beasts in the clouds, even if they are deified.

The clouds are the joy and anger of the heavens. White clouds, yellow clouds, red clouds, dark clouds, and cloudless skies are all God's declaration of His will to the world, but few people really understand.

Helian Bobo understands, because he is the pride of the sky.

At this moment, the dark clouds are rolling, that is, his anger has reached the heavens.

Heaven allowed him bloody revenge.

Helian Bobo carefully scraped the meat on the leg of mutton with a knife, listened to Yao Xuanbao talk about the battle process, and kept interjecting in the middle, asking all the details of interest.

In this defeat, Helian Bobo was unusual, and did not throw any officer into the valley to feed the beasts, and the only punishment was to let Helian Bo kneel outside the palace gate for a whole day, not allowed to eat or drink. When he and Yao Zhanbao ate roasted whole sheep, Helian was already hungry. The smell of barbecue wafted out and got into his nose. The scent carried claws, tickling him inwardly, and he wanted to risk his life to rush in and grab a piece of meat. There are several eunuchs in the palace who he usually takes money to feed fat. It is used to quietly inform the movements of his father and several other brothers, and he is very attentive to meet on weekdays. At this moment, none of them dared to come up. His father was merciful and asked someone to give him a blanket. didn't let him kneel directly on the hard bricks. He tried countless positions to try to make his legs suffer a little less, but no matter how much you moved, the weight of the whole body was always on the calves, and the knees were always going to suffer a great sin. He endured the pain, recalled the whole process of the defeat, and knew that he was the bane of this defeat. If he could think of this clearly, how could his father not think clearly? Thinking of the future and the future of the throne. Thinking that Tongwan City would become another brother's giant mansion, and he was just a minion with the royal family's signboard in the house, he wanted to die on the copper-clad threshold a few steps away.

Yao Anbao sat on the carpet, as if sitting in a thorn bush. The general of the defeated army is not brave enough, and the general of the defeated army whose flag was snatched and insulted by the enemy has no complaint when he is executed, how can he still have the face to eat and drink in front of the emperor? What's more, the main general and prince still knelt outside the door, bearing the shame of defeat alone in hunger and cold. This chief general was indeed not a general, but the three armies were destroyed. Could it be that a basket of generals and lieutenants can stay out of the matter? Every piece of meat and every bowl of wine he swallowed could only make him more uneasy. He was a guest inside the door, and the prince was a prisoner outside the door. This is the emperor's arrangement, but with 10,000 mouths, there are 10,000 explanations. He could imagine how a villain would play with right and wrong, as if he was trying to climb up. deliberately stepped on the prince's head.

After listening to Yao Xuanbao's speech, Helian Bobo threw the shaved leg of lamb on the low table:

"Then I'll ask you. After this battle, do you think our Great Xia is the opponent of the Jin people? ”

Yao Anbao had already asked himself this question countless times on the way back. After Yao Qin's demise, he also asked himself countless times in the midst of pain. It's just that his army has not fought with the Beifu soldiers. As soon as Guanzhong was lost, Qin Junshu fell and scattered, and he followed the chief to Daxia. At that time, he was holding his stomach and refusing to accept it, not believing that the southerners had three heads and six arms. This time the real fight, I have to admit that the Beifu soldiers are by no means in vain. Thinking of the bravery and skillful fighting of the leading officers, of the infantry who would rather be trampled into flesh than to cover the withdrawal of their comrades, and of the unshakable phalanx like a mountain, he even felt a sense of jealousy: If only I had such an army under my command. But on second thought, his own soldiers were not bad seeds. Whether it is the Qiang people or the Huns, they all regard death as if they were at home on the battlefield, coming like thunder and lightning, going like wind and rain, bowing and sabers, and perfecting the fire. They did their part. It's just that war is not just a contest between two kinds of soldiers, but also a contest between two kinds of generals. Thinking about the whole battle afterwards, the enemy generals seemed to have calculated every step in advance, while our side was always led by the nose, and there was not even a single accident.

Yao Zhanbao didn't know how to say it so as not to appear to be behind Helian Xuan's slanderous words, separating the father and son. After a long time, I said carefully:

"When it comes to the combat strength of soldiers, we don't lose at all, but if we don't use it well, no matter how strong the soldiers are, they are useless. In this battle, we are underestimating the enemy, so"

Helian Bobo suddenly picked up the leg of mutton bone and tapped it on the desk:

"Fart! Who loves to hear you say this! You are a Qiang person, how can you learn to beat around the bush like the Han people? Where did all the guts you have to kill the leopard? Lao Tzu's soldiers are not strong, you don't need to sue me. I want you to say the general! ”

Yao Anbao was startled, but quickly calmed down and paid tribute to Helian Bobo. People say that he is cruel and shrewd, and now it seems that he lives up to his reputation. In that case, it's better to get straight to the heart:

"In this operation, the Jin army came with a package plan, and every step was calculated in advance. Your Majesty is smart, I heard the last general talk about the whole battle just now, I must have felt it, so I won't be verbose. ”

Bo Bo nodded.

"The general of the Jin army is strong in four words: bold and careful. To say that he was bold is that he dared to use infantry against cavalry. It is said that he is careful, because he obviously surveyed the terrain, found the best battlefield, and carefully designed the way of fighting with frontal resistance and flank assault. With this style of play, the infantry is elite, and they are not afraid of cavalry. ”

Bo Bo nodded.

But what impressed the last general was the young and strong officers of the Jin army. In my opinion, they are brave and strategic, full of momentum, leading the way, fearless in danger, and have the demeanor of a general. With all due respect, there are few such people in our army. If our current generals are not the opponents of Liu Yu's cadres, then I am afraid that our follow-up generals are not the opponents of his next wave of generals. ”

Bo turned his face sideways with interest, and leaned at Yao Zhanbao:

"Then don't spit on. Although to put it bluntly: why is this happening? ”

The time has come for a real test of courage. Yao Zhanbao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and sat up straight:

"His Majesty is harsh in governing the army. The three armies advance and retreat in unison, and this is where the strength lies. But it is precisely because of the harshness of the army. Everyone has the heart to steal life in fear of sin, and has no intention of swaying freely. The generals are timid, conservative, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, and over time, people will become lazy and stupid. On the other hand, some of the methods used by the Jin army to attack us were obviously thought up by middle- and lower-ranking officers. If you want to use it, the general will definitely not be able to take care of so many details. On the battlefield, our men are more courageous than spiritual; Their lives are full of wisdom and wisdom. In this sense, we are inferior to them! ”

Poured it out happily and waited for the reaction.

Helian stared at Yao Zhanbao in a daze, and his voice was gloomy like a dark cloud at the head of Wancheng:

"If you say that, this account is going to be settled on my head?"

Yao Zhanbao admonished himself to hold on. Even if you throw it back into the valley of chasing your life, you can't be cowardly in front of this landslide, and you can't make the Huns think that the Qiang people are soft bones. Thinking of this, I raised my head proudly. Look Straight Ahead:

"Majesty called the minister to say it directly, and the minister said it directly, and the minister's original intention was not to say that Majesty was wrong. Rather, I think we should learn from them! ”

Bo Bo continued to stare at Yao Zhanbao, the knife in his hand. It seems that it will be thrown at the throat of this bold Qiang man at any time. Suddenly, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed:

"Well done! Attaboy! There are really few people in the Great Xia Kingdom who dare to talk to me like this! I think you really have the guts of a leopard. Come. Give Lao Tzu three bowls! ”

Yao Zhanbao secretly let out a sigh, and poured down three bowls in succession, from mouth to stomach, hot and spicy, and the coolness that soaked the whole body forced out a lot.

Bo Bo himself took a sip, then spat out a mouthful of wine, and spoke to the people around him in a deep tone:

"Go, bring in my unsuccessful son."

Helian Chuan knelt for almost a day, stood up, his eyes were black, his legs were weak, and he collapsed all at once. The eunuchs put him in, and when he put him on the ground, he couldn't even kneel well, and could only prostrate, as if Helian Bo and a wolf gave birth to a dog.

Yao Zhanbao saw Helian Bi coming in, and hurriedly got up, but was stopped by Bo Bo. The latter said that I didn't tell you to stand, so you just sat down, could it be that you didn't even pay attention to me in order to please my son?

This sentence was like a golden pendant, pulling Yao Annihilation Leopard back to the ground.

Bo Bo got up and walked over, circled around Helian Bi, and gently kicked him in the ribs with his foot:

"General Helian Xuan, you are very capable! The majestic went out, the lost dog came back, and the loss-making business was done quickly and cleanly. I thought that you would send a good news from Chang'an, and I was also preparing a big banquet for the ministers, read your good news aloud, and use the news of victory to cheer up the monarchs and ministers. ”

Helian lay on the ground and shivered, not daring to say a word.

Bo Bo motioned to the eunuchs and told them to set up a low table and help Helian Hui over. The latter lay on the low table for a long time, gradually relieving in the warmth of the room, the blood slowly flowed to the legs, the person changed from stiff to soft, and felt much more comfortable, but in the face of the various delicacies on the case of his father and Yao Zhanbao, his stomach couldn't help but thunder.

Bo Bo voice is warm, like a loving father:

"Are you hungry?"

Helian Xuan's eyes were suddenly full of tears:

"Yes!"

Bo suddenly pulled down his face, picked up the leg of mutton bone on the desk and threw it over:

"The boss is incompetent, he killed the three armies, and he broke so many people, and you still have the face to say that you are hungry! Lao Tzu sent you out to call you a wolf, but you became a leper dog! Since it's a dog, give Lao Tzu a good bite to the bone! Nibble! ”

Helian was so frightened by this thunderous anger that he sifted through chaff, picked up the cleanly scraped bones and licked them.

Yao Zhanbao really couldn't stand it, picked up a plate of cooked beef on the table that had not been touched, took a pot of wine, put it on Helian Bi's desk, and helped him up. The latter looked at the beef, his Adam's apple scurrying up and down rapidly, and then at his Thor-like father, tears rolling down his eyes and wincing.

Helian Bobo said, Yao Kill Leopard, what are you going to do? I teach my son, is it your turn to come and the mud?

Yao Zhanbao turned around and knelt down:

"Your Majesty sharpens General Helian with his heart, and the minister understands. But victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, how can there be a victorious general in the world? Besides, if His Majesty thinks that the general is guilty, he should also be dealt with according to military law. If you should be killed, you will be killed, and if you should be dismissed, you will be dismissed. How can you insult a military officer like this! Besides, scolding him as a leper dog, so where did His Majesty put himself? ”

Bo was stunned. I didn't know what to do for a while. The Huns did not sympathize with the weak, but absolutely appreciated the strong. This Qiang people, who have been prisoners, prisoners, and food for fierce beasts, are iron-clad and dare to denounce the mighty Emperor of Daxia face to face, but he is really not a mortal. Bo Bo sympathized with each other, and secretly rejoiced that he had a minister. Think about what he meant again: If Helian is a leper dog, wouldn't his mother be a. His father is naturally a male dog, right? Suddenly I felt very funny, and I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The moment he heard this laughter, Helian knew that the blizzard had passed, and immediately used both hands, stuffed the beef into his mouth desperately, broke his tooth wishbone, and swallowed frantically half-chewing and half-chewing.

Bo Bo said slow down, don't choke!

There was both reproach and love in his voice, although it was still cold. After all, I can't hide my father's concern. Although he may be the most cold-blooded father in the world.

The superintendent said and looked at the looks, and there was no need to be instructed, and he had already sent hot food and soup in a row.

Yao Zhenbao really relaxed. With righteous indignation, he stood up to defend Helian Bi. I didn't mean to leave a way back for myself, but when I thought about it later, I was secretly glad that there was this section. Helian will not hold a grudge against himself. Looking at Helian Xuan's windswept appearance, he thought of the fallen soldiers who had been buried in the bones at this moment. suddenly felt that the world was so uneven: Helian Bobo's son, who had no way to command and commanded the army, was child's play. After burying so many officers and soldiers, running home was just kneeling for half a day, starving for half a day, and being scolded by his father for a few words.

But Helian Bo's warmth only lasted until Helian was full. When the latter had his first full burp, he smiled and said to Yao Zhanbao:

"Exterminate the leopard, I think you have a lot of sense. I used to run the army, but it was too harsh. I'm going to start changing it today. First, I will let go of the wild beasts, and eradicate the valley of life, and from now on, the guilty soldiers will no longer feed the wild beasts. ”

This is truly a meritorious act.

Yao Annihilation Leopard was about to thank him, but he heard Bo Bo gritting his teeth and saying gloomily:

"But as a host, I can't let a guest, even a beast guest, go hungry!"

After saying that, he turned his face away and looked gloomily at Helian Xuan, who collapsed on the carpet the moment he met his father's eyes, as if he wanted to scream but could not make a sound.

Yao Zhanbao was terrified, he never expected that Bo Bo would suddenly change his face, let alone that he would be vicious enough to treat his own son like this. I was about to stop loudly, but I heard Bo Bo say something else:

"You little brute, you secretly raise men; It's just enough to raise him, and he even took him to the army; It's just a matter of going, and even taking the battle array as a child's play, let that little white face take the lead! I'm going to clean up the portal for you today! ”

Helian understood that he was not feeding himself to the wolf, so he relaxed first; Then he realized that the male pets in his family were about to die in the belly of the beast, and he was sad and sobbed. Enraged, he drew his knife and struck at his son's back. Yao Zhanbao pounced to protect Helian Xuan, and was very unlucky to take a few hits.

Yao Zhanbao was in a complicated mood. This defeat, the extermination of the leopard battalion was almost exhausted, this account, of course, must be recorded on Helian Xuan's head, especially when he first let Niu Wei take the lead, and then lost his mind because of Niu Wei's death, and pounced on the trap of the Jin army like a mad cow. But after all, the man is just a pillow person, not a person under the account, and Helian Biao's guilt cannot be passed on to them. Besides, the men in the family did not participate in military affairs, and it was too cruel to feed them to wild beasts. However, today has been contradicted many times, and this time, it can no longer be reversed.

Helian Bobo summoned the general of the Praetorian Guard, told him to take people to raid Helian Bi, and escorted all the men except his family into the palace for strict interrogation, and found out that those who had a bed with Helian Bi were all thrown into the valley of chasing life, and they were fed to the beasts today.

Bo Bo's order was clear, and the raid was not a great effort. About two hours later, all the non-relatives of the Helian family were escorted. The interrogation is not difficult, and the male pet will be fed to the wolf, and first two men with beautiful faces are paralyzed on the ground, which is about the same as surrendering. The rest of the people pointed out one after another, and none of the men slipped through the net, and all of them surfaced.

When all five of them were escorted to Helian Bobo, the latter found that four of the boys, who were sixteen or seventeen, had fair faces, eyebrows and eyes, and if they were to be painted with grease and powdered and dressed in women's clothes, they would not be inferior to the most beautiful girls in Bobo's palace. But the fifth is an ordinary man, not even handsome. At this moment, Zhang Huang was frightened, and he even looked a little obscene.

Bo asked Helian Pyro. Do you want such a man too?

Helian lowered his head and did not speak.

Bo pressed the tip of his knife against a boy's neck. You said!

The boy was sweating profusely and said he had a good job. The host loved it. What stunt? He is very good at using his tongue. The master asked us to learn from him, but we were not satisfied with how we learned from him, and always said that his tongue was incomparable.

There was a faint sense of jealousy.

Bo Bo was confused at first, not understanding what the tongue meant. But I instantly remembered that I was in the harem and enjoyed this kind of service of the concubine, and I suddenly understood. When I understood it, I felt sick. He couldn't imagine how a man could tolerate that part of himself being taken in another man's mouth!

A sinister smile appeared on his face again.

"Come on, cut off this person's tongue for me first, and then send him to the Valley of Pursuit!"

A foul smell suddenly rose from the air.

The person was incontinent.

Bo Bo looked at the puddle of yellow water on the ground, covered his nose and waved. Let these people who are already half-paralyzed with fright be escorted down. They did not struggle, and turned away obediently, and one of the young men kept turning to look at Helian Xuan, his eyes changed from resentful to vicious, and when he was about to go out, he suddenly shouted bitterly:

"Master, we are going to die, and you don't want to say a word when you see death?"

The soldier who escorted him struck him in the mouth with a knife, knocking out several teeth in an instant. His voice was quickly drowned out in a mouth full of blood.

Helian fell to the ground and cried silently.

Helian Bobo sneered and kicked him:

"To tell the truth, if you dare to say a word and let them go, it is the sin of the son, and the son is willing to die for them. I admire you for daring to take responsibility, maybe you can repay them and forgive them, and you can save your life. All of them were castrated into the palace. But you pee and take a look at your current face as a soft egg, who doesn't feel disgusted when you see it? The one who sleeps with you is going to die. You don't even have the courage to intercede, who will mess with you? That's it. Don't want to have a great future! ”

After saying the decree, Helian was dismissed from his current military position, deprived of the prince, and sent to the fortress on the far north border, where he was convicted for a year to see the after-effects. Don't go home, let's go!

Helian cried and said that the sons and daughters could not see the prince and concubine, but couldn't they even see the queen mother?

Bo said with a cold face that if your mother knew about your dirty deeds, she would be angry. Hurry up and get out of here, don't linger for a moment!

After Helian left, the air in the room froze for a long time. Helian was furious, as if he had exhausted the inventory in his stomach, and he had an appetite again, and he munched on the roast sheep with great interest. Yao Zhanbao had to admire his ability to quickly change his mood.

After a while, he put the knife on the desk:

"Exterminate the leopard, do you know why I let my unlucky son go out and suffer for a year?"

Yao Zhanbao didn't expect to suddenly ask such a question, and honestly said that the minister didn't understand.

Bo laughed.

"You must think that I am too my own son. In fact, how can I not hurt my own flesh and bones? The Han people say that the heavens will descend on the Si people, but my son, I think he can't afford to take on the big responsibility. said that he had been tempered for a year, that is, he was tempered for ten years, and he was also played by Liu Yu when he was released. But the Han people's set of shame and almost courage can be used on him. I let him go out for a year, and then let him lead the troops to take revenge after a year, then he will definitely do it with all his life, and then he will vent all his hatred on the head of the Jin army, and with a good hand like you to help him, he will definitely make a name for himself! ”

Yao Zhanbao secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart. In the end, it is the Emperor of Great Xia, full of strategy, and a small action actually has a big background.

"Your Majesty, the blessing of Great Xia, but the minister doesn't understand, why do you have to wait another year?"

Bo sighed.

"I didn't want to delay it for so long. This time, Chiyang was defeated, and the three armies were injured. Just retraining an elite team will not be enough in less than a year. This time, my strategy was originally to take the momentum of the cage, trap the Jin army in Guanzhong, and then gradually oppress until the siege of Chang'an. My good son has been defeated, the cage has been broken, if the Jin army wins the Jin army, not only will I not be able to take Chang'an, but I will also have to defend Tongwan. Even if they don't come, Wang Maide and they will be alone on the Eastern Front, and they will be under a lot of pressure. Therefore, I have ordered all the armies along the Guanzhong line to withdraw to the border. ”

Speaking of this, he took a sip of wine, gargled his mouth, and spit into the brazier in front of him.

"But although the Jin army won this battle, it doesn't mean that it will be smooth after that. On the contrary, their difficulties will increase. I got a secret report that the Jin army seemed to have had infighting before. It is not clear what kind of infighting will be involved at the moment. But the secret agent has noticed that the Jin army generals Wang Zhenwei and Shen Tianzi have not shown up for some days. It is said that it was Wang Zhenwei who commanded Shen Tianzi and Fu Hongzhi to deal with you, but this time it was Fu Hong who led the army to fight. Wang and Shen are not in harmony, I also knew this before, whether they did it this time is still to be confirmed by the next investigation, but my intuition is that their internal discord is very strict. As for Liu Yu, I believe in Wang Maide's judgment, he left Guanzhong in a hurry this time and returned to Jiangdong, presumably because his backyard was unstable. When he goes, everyone in the world knows that he will definitely usurp the throne, and then he will have to stabilize the army, gather people's hearts, and establish rules and regulations. Moreover, I thought that in order to stabilize Jiangdong, he would not send elite soldiers to Guanzhong at this juncture, at most he would make personnel adjustments. If this continues, the morale of the Jin army in Guanzhong will be sluggish, the combat strength will be damaged, and internal strife will occur after the failure to keep it even. In my opinion, this Chiyang victory is the last time they have enjoyed victory since they sent out their troops. Until this winter, we are still like this year, taking advantage of the cold winter to send troops, and once again surround a cage, it will not work Liu Yizhen can escape from my palm! ”

Yao Zhanbao's blood surged, sat up straight, and clenched his fists with both hands:

"Your Majesty's ambition is far away, and the minister's broken bones should also be reciprocated. The minister will go back to train the army, and when the time comes, he will definitely risk the arrow stone himself and make a precursor for His Majesty!"

After Yao Anbao left, Helian Bobo drank alone for a while. The roar of a beast could be heard faintly in the distance. He fell backwards, his hands on the roof.

The roof was designed by Han craftsmen, which was completely different from the idea of the Huns setting up tents. The tents of the Huns, all the wooden sticks were gathered into a shelf, and everyone worked together to support a dome; In the Han people's houses, all the wood supports each other, but also restricts each other. A piece was set aside on the top of the Huns' tent, and the sky could always be seen; The Han people's house has a heavy roof and does not see the light of day. The tents of the Huns were set up on the grass, just to ward off the cold and make a layer of skin; The houses of the Han people were paved with bricks and stones, and even the soil did not stain them.

But if you are used to living in Han Chinese houses, and then live in Hun tents, you will feel that the latter is too rough. The trade-offs between the pros and cons seem to be difficult to describe.

Let him go, the Huns Helian Bo is full of power, that is, to use the power of the Huns to seize the treasures of the Han people.

The general of the Praetorian Guard came to report that Helian Bi's seven male pets had been eaten by wild beasts to the bones. Bo Bo said to open the beast prison immediately and let all the beasts go. The general said that he should load the car and send it farther away, so as not to hurt the pedestrians. Bo Bo was about to say what you are talking about, when he suddenly remembered that Helian Hui only brought a handful of guards, and was on the way at the moment, so he said that there was no need to let go, just poison all of them in the beast prison, and give you a few animal skins.

The man walked away happily.

Helian Bo stood up, walked to the door, and looked at the dark clouds in the sky.

The Han people say that the dragon is in the clouds.

In fact, how can there be beasts in the clouds, even if they are deified.

The clouds are the joy and anger of the heavens. White clouds, yellow clouds, red clouds, dark clouds, and cloudless skies are all God's declaration of His will to the world, but few people really understand.

Helian Bobo understands, because he is the pride of the sky.

At this moment, the dark clouds are rolling, that is, his anger has reached the heavens.

Heaven allowed him bloody revenge. (To be continued......)
