Chapter 574: Turning North
The decree is very clear.
The southern army was urgently transferred north as the vanguard army to defeat the rebellion, of which Yue Fei was the main commander and Bai Qing was the supervising army.
Originally, Bai Qing still thought that after the failure of the Northern Expedition, Gao Quanye should be able to figure it out that defeating Gao Quanwu was not an overnight thing, but needed to be slowly figured out, after all, the forces he had at the moment could be called a hundred battles, and they could be defeated by just a few tens of thousands of people, not to mention that there were a number of peerless generals, but he never thought that Gao Quanye obviously felt that this defeat made him lose face, and he directly pulled the southern army over.
Bai Qing sighed lightly.
Originally, I wanted to go home to accompany Xiao Wu to give birth, but I received such an order, who knows how many months it will take to come back!
The reason why he did not wait for Bai Qing to return to Beijing, but directly sent people along the way to find his traces and convey his will was to let him go directly to northern Xinjiang without returning to Beijing.
Who made him Baiqing, he is one of Gao Quanye's most trusted people, sometimes this holy family is long, and it is also a troublesome thing!
Bai Qing showed a struggling look on his face, and after a long time, he let out a breath helplessly, and said to the knight: "Go back and tell Your Majesty, I have received the will, and I will go to the northern frontier immediately!" ”
"Xianggong, before we left, Marshal Yue asked us to tell you that she had already taken the first step and would be waiting for you in Xijin Mansion!" The rider said respectfully to Bai Qing.
"I know, I'm tired!" After Bai Qing finished speaking, he waved his hand, and then a guard came over and rewarded the rider with ten taels of silver, so that the rider hurriedly thanked him!
Wait until the rider leaves. Bai Qingcai looked at Fang Jinzhi with a somewhat heavy look on his face: "I originally wanted to go back to Beijing." It's just that in this situation, there is no way to be with you! ”
Hear Bai Qing's words. Fang Jinzhi couldn't help but be surprised, after being by Bai Qing's side for so long, she could naturally hear the meaning of Bai Qing's words, and hurriedly said to Bai Qing: "What is Xianggong talking about, where Xianggong is, I will naturally follow ......"
It's just that before she finished her words, she interrupted Bai Qing: "I'm going to fight, what is the matter if you follow it, in case you get hurt and knock it." Doesn't it make me feel guilty, besides, I still need you to go back to Beijing and tell Xiao Wu and them that I can't go back! ”
"The concubine body is not the kind of person who has not been on the battlefield, besides, on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, if the official does not have a powerful guard by his side, how can he let the concubine body and others feel at ease, I think Xiao Wu and they should also be able to understand the choice of the concubine!" Fang Jinzhi argued with Bai Qing a little unconvinced, with a pair of eyes of different colors. It was full of anxious looks.
Hearing Fang Jinzhi's words, Bai Qing suddenly chuckled, and then stroked Fang Jinzhi's satin-like long hair with his hand: "When, I'm an official." It's up to you to protect you! Like I said, if I hurt you somewhere, I'm going to be bad! ”
In full view. To make such an intimate move, although it is very useful in my heart. But Fang Jinzhi's face still subconsciously flew a touch of crimson.
And the guards around them. also stood aside with interest, leaving room for Bai Qing and Fang Jinzhi.
Although Fang Jinzhi repeatedly requested, Bai Qing's attitude was very resolute, and after resting for one night at the post station in front, he finally sent someone to send Fang Jinzhi, who was reluctant to give up, back to the imperial capital.
"I must pass my apologies to them!" Looking at the figure of Fang Jinzhi and his party in the distance, Bai Qing thought silently in his heart.
According to his order, he was ready to change his course and go directly north, heading towards Xijin Mansion.
Xijin Mansion, that is, the capital of later generations, is now located in Hezhong Mansion, the distance from Xijin Mansion is really not close, if you rely on this carriage, if you want to think of Xijin Mansion, you have to drive away for a month or two, so after sending Fang Jinzhi away, Bai Qing and the remaining few guards went to the nearby post station, asked for a few horses, and then quickly whipped straight in the direction of Xijin Mansion.
Although it has been more than three years since the Great Qi destroyed the Liao State, it is obvious that the rule of the former Liao State is still different from that of the Central Plains, which can be clearly felt by Bai Qing and others after passing through Taiyuan Mansion.
In the past three or four years, the officials of Daqi have also continued to migrate people from the Central Plains, and the towns have been much more lively than before, but Bai Qing can still feel the hatred in the eyes of those original Liao people when they look at the Han people.
It turned out that the nomadic empire that stood in the north had become a place for horses to raise in Daqi after it fell apart.
Some hatred will take more than ten years to slowly dissolve, Bai Qing sighed in his heart.
Along the way, he also saw that many shirtless men, under the whipping of the officials, sweated like rain in the cold day doing all kinds of heavy work, these laborers, that is, the soldiers of the Liao State who surrendered or were captured, they were originally invincible, at this time they have become yellow and thin, in front of the Han people they looked down on at the beginning, bowed their heads, because those who dared to resist have died in this long period of labor.
These people, only after the end of a day's tiredness, from their sleep to recall the prosperity of the Liao country.
Bai Qing didn't have time to sympathize with these people, because he knew very well that if the Qi State was defeated, the fate of those Han people would not be much better than them.
So what he has to do is to avoid this situation as much as possible, if nothing else, just so that the tragic events of the Han people in the history books will not be repeated.
He has never forgotten that a country named Jin is still in the northeast, salivating over the fat of the Central Plains, and just waiting for Daqi to show a trace of fatigue, it will open its bloody mouth and bite it hard.
After passing through Datong Mansion all the way, Xijin Mansion is already in sight, this way, it can be said that Bai Qing has walked the longest time since he came to this era, and along the way, he has also been accustomed to seeing the world.
A few people ate and slept in the open, and after this journey, almost everyone's faces looked a lot haggard.
It was only a little more than a hundred miles away from Xijin Mansion, Bai Qing and those guards stopped their journey for a while, and after looking for a post station to take a hot bath, they slept beautifully.
The next day, the group that had resumed their usual high spirits returned to the road after a full meal.
Gradually, he could already see the outline of the city of Xijin Mansion, Bai Qing and the guards glanced at each other, urged the horses to whip up, and accelerated their speed again.
In the distance of vision, a huge flag with the word "Yue" is flying in the wind.
Xijin Mansion has finally arrived......
