Chapter 575: Liwei
"Bai Xianggong, it's hard work all the way!"
"Yue Shuai's words are serious, the matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king is the duty of my generation, what is hard or not!"
Outside Xijin Mansion, Yue Fei took a cadre of generals under his command and went out to greet Bai Qing, and after the two of them met, they immediately exchanged pleasantries.
It seems that he has been accustomed to Yue Fei's fluttering clothes for nearly a year, and after changing into a military uniform again, Bai Qing has a feeling of being out of place, and it took a while to completely dispel this feeling.
"Please!"
Yue Fei stretched out his hand to Bai Qingyi and leaned sideways to make a gesture of please.
"Yue Shuai, please!" Bai Qing also made the same move, and the two of them were a little polite, then looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the city of Xijin Mansion in front of them.
And the generals behind Yue Fei also followed in the footsteps of the two together with the guards behind Bai Qing.
If a year ago, the generals behind Yue Fei were still a little contemptuous when they looked at Bai Qing, then less than two years later, Bai Qing's current status can only be looked up to.
However, although Bai Qing's skills are not worth mentioning in the eyes of those generals, they have a look of admiration for Bai Qing in their hearts, after all, he can do things on the march and fight as a literati, and he has rarely tasted defeat, which is enough to show that he is extraordinary.
What's more, the scale of Bai Qing's fights can be called not small.
As soon as they entered the city gate, some civil officials also hurried over, met Bai Qing and Yue Fei, and looked at Bai Qing's eyes. Full of flattery.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that this Xijin Mansion is a large city of the original Jin Kingdom. After returning to the Great Qi, in order to consolidate the rule. Daqi also sent some more capable officials to come, but in any case, compared to the Central Plains, this is a cold border land, seeing the arrival of the official book, they naturally want to curry favor with Bai Qing, in order to get out of this place as soon as possible.
For the psychology of these people, just by looking at it, Bai Qing already understood a lot. However, he didn't pay much attention to it, and calmly accepted these people's sycophants.
The group sat down in the yamen of the prefect of Xijin Mansion, among which Bai Qing and Yue Fei each sat in the first place, and on the left were the generals of the Southern Army, such as Niu Gao, Zhang Xian, Wang Gui, Xu Qing, etc., sitting in a row, and on the right, they were the officials of Xijin Mansion.
"This official has just arrived, I don't know what the current battle situation is?" Bai Qing looked at Yue Fei. Shen Sheng asked.
"The Northern Expeditionary Army suffered a big defeat, and there is not one in ten, presumably the general situation, Bai Xianggong should have heard of it. At present, except for the deputy marshal Han Shizhong, who is detained in the prison, the rest of the surviving soldiers have been withdrawn to the area of Dading Mansion! ”
"Anyway. Although they were defeated, these soldiers could be regarded as spilling their blood for the imperial court. When the time comes, we should look at it together! Bai Qing pondered for a moment and said to Yue Fei.
"What Bai Xianggong said is extremely true. It coincides with our wishes! Hearing Bai Qing's words, Yue Fei and the other generals nodded, Bai Qing said this to their hearts.
You must know that this victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and these generals have also climbed up from the bottom, and they know this helplessness very well.
"I wonder when the army will be launched?" Bai Qing asked in a deep voice to Yue Fei again.
"At present, my southern army is only coming over with the back army, the middle army, and the left and right armies, but there are only forty or fifty thousand people, and more than half of the army is still on the way, and it will take at least seven or eight days to rest and recuperate!" Yue Fei said to Bai Qing.
After receiving the order, in order to prevent the rebels from going all the way south and causing the situation to deteriorate, Yue Fei set off first with those teams with strong mobility, and rushed to this Xijin Mansion day and night, while the other slower ones came over one after another.
"What happened to the grain and grass?" Bai Qing looked at the prefect of Xijin Mansion again and asked him.
With the urgency of Yue Fei's departure, he definitely won't carry too much baggage on the way, most of them will be brought by the follow-up teams, and the supplies in the past few days will naturally fall on Xijin Mansion, which is a common practice.
"Back to Shangcha, after getting the will of the imperial court, the lower officials immediately urgently prepared grain and grass in the whole mansion, but you also know that this Xijin Mansion is a new annex, and all things are naturally not as rich as the Central Plains, so ......" The prefect of the Xijin Mansion opened his mouth and cried to Bai Qing.
Hearing the prefect's words, Bai Qing's face suddenly sank, and he reprimanded mercilessly: "Although this Xijin Mansion is only newly attached, it has been four years, and for such a long time, you are still crying poor with this official?" You don't want to think about it, what a big deal this Northern Expedition is, if something goes wrong and you miss the Northern Expedition, you have a few heads that are enough to cut off, and now you are still doing this with this official! ”
"Damn it! Damn it! Hearing Bai Qing's reprimand, the prefect was so frightened that he knelt on the ground all of a sudden, kowtowed to Bai Qing in a panic, and shouted repeatedly.
Originally, I thought that Bai Qing looked like he was not in his prime, he was miserable and poor, maybe after winning a little sympathy, he would be able to fool the past, but who knew that Bai Qing did not care about his face, which made him feel like stealing chickens and rice.
Seeing that they were carefully serving the prefect on weekdays, the other prefects were all sitting there, their faces were silent, their faces were also very pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down from time to time.
As for Yue Fei and the others, they had long been quite unhappy with these guys' yang and yin violations, and after seeing this scene, they were naturally all comfortable, sitting there and drinking tea by themselves.
"Five days, I will only give you five days, if you can't prepare the baggage required by the army within five days, then you don't have to be the prefect, and someone more capable can do it!" Bai Qing stretched out a palm towards the prefect and said coldly.
"Xiaguan...... The subordinate obeys the order! The prefect had already touched his head and was bleeding, so he naturally didn't dare to touch his head again, kneeling there and answering with a promise, and waited until Bai Qing waved his hand impatiently at him, and then retreated in a hurry with a group of prefects like an amnesty.
"I haven't seen you for many days, Bai Xianggong has a good temper, so I lit a fire first!" Yue Feimei looked at Bai Qing for a while before chuckling and teasing.
"Hmph, these guys, I've seen a lot of methods, you don't give them a little bitter taste, let them know how good you are, they have 10,000 reasons to prevaricate, a bunch of moths!" Bai Qing said with some hatred that iron is not made of steel.
"No way, the officials here, who doesn't have any complaints in their hearts!" Yue Fei chuckled twice, "Don't be spoiled by these boring people, tonight, our Southern Army will hold a banquet to wash the dust for Bai Xianggong, and I hope that Bai Xianggong will not shirk it......"
