Yang Jinghui attacked as a team, and a smile flashed at the corner of Ye Chang's mouth.

"When cleaning the battlefield, you may be able to pick up some cattle and horses thrown by the dogs." Gao Shijin said.

The two smiled heartily, and Ye Chang nodded: "This matter...... I have been sleepy for the past few days, so I will sleep for a while, and I will not be disturbed unless it is an urgent business. ”

"There is a shortage of manpower, can these border ambassadors' subordinates also be borrowed?"

"Gao Shi only cares about the envoy, what do you think?"

Bian Lingcheng's subordinates didn't have it, they only felt that cleaning the battlefield was a high-reward job, and after fighting for so long, they didn't dare to really go up to the city, but now they were sent to loot the loot, which was obviously Ye Chang's care for them.

This Xiao Ye Langjun is an interesting person, and when Bian Gong comes back, he will have to say a few kind words for him.

Then they went out of the city to search for any loot. The camp of the dog is the focus of the cleanup, but the dog Rong is from a nomadic background, comes and goes like the wind, and everything is packed up, except for those flags and felt tents, there is very little harvest. So the people began to search around to see if they could find the horses that were left behind.

Ye Chang was sitting at the head of the city, and when he saw the sun gradually rising in the middle of the sky, he felt that it should be about the same.

Sure enough, not long after, a group of people returned in a hurry, and before they entered the city, someone shouted under the city: "Oh no, no, Ambassador Bian...... Ambassador Bian ......"

Ye Chang frowned at the head of the city: "What's wrong?" ”

"Something has happened to Ambassador Bian," the man howled under the city.

It was a subordinate of Bian Lingcheng, Ye Chang sent them out, the purpose was for them to find the bodies of Bian Lingcheng and the others. Hearing this, Ye Chang's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly went down to the city: "What happened, but it fell into the hands of the dog Rong?" ”

"No, it's ...... Dead, all dead"

The man cried and cried, not suspecting Ye Chang at all, Ye Chang gasped, and then calmed down: "Where are you, ...... That's right, right? ”

"It's in the back city, less than a mile from the city, I'm not mistaken"

"Lead the way"

Ye Chang spoke, then turned around, and said to a soldier: "You go and summon General Yang back, just say ...... said that he had found Ambassador Bian, and only told him about the situation here. ”

The soldier was also pale, it was a great achievement to repel the dog Rong and protect the city, but if he lost the main general, more than half of the credit would be lost, and he might be held accountable for it. So he nodded hastily, mounted his horse and galloped away.

Following the team that found the corpse, Ye Chang arrived at the scene, only to see that the scene was a mess, Ye Chang looked around, and then sighed: "Ambassador Bian waited here and was suddenly ambushed, so he didn't even have the strength to fight back...... This must be the result of the Dog Rong Jing situation, yes, presumably after the Dog Rong withdrew last night, he did not give up, and lay down here with the elite, if we went out of the city last night to attack at night, and found that it was an empty camp and pursued, they would inevitably take the opportunity to seize the city from the back city and kill a horse gun."

Everyone who listened to this analysis nodded again and again. Ye Chang got off the horse again, rummaged over Bian Lingcheng's corpse, and then turned out the blood-stained secret music, saw the fire paint on it, he didn't open it, and then said angrily: "If Ambassador Bian hadn't gone out of the city to ask for help, how could he have been poisoned by this - this letter is a secret performance of Ambassador Bian, I don't dare to open it, you are all ambassadors close to Bian, who wants to work hard and send this secret music back to Chang'an?" ”

"I, I"

Several people scrambled to do it.

This is inevitable, as Bian Lingcheng, he still died in the war, and these entourages who came with him had flexible minds, so they naturally wanted to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, even if they did not have the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune, they would never lose their lives.

Ye Chang said: "This matter is very important, I am afraid that it will not be possible to wait for one person, you might as well go back together, and this secret music will be handed over to you." ”

He packed the secret music in a brocade bag, handed it over to a henchman of Bian Lingcheng, and glanced at Ye Ting next to him: "Ye Ting, you take someone to escort them back to Chang'an, and by the way, bring a peace letter back to our Wolong Valley." ”

Ye Ting understood, and led the order to take more than ten horses away. Ye Chang turned his face and looked at the people who were left behind, with a sad look on his face: "Ambassador Bian didn't get help, unfortunately died, and his body has to be buried alive...... Guys help."

He was pretentious here, and Yang Jinghui chased after the traces left by the dog Rong. In the past few days of fierce fighting, there are more than 1,000 corpses of dog Rong, but the main force still exists, and the traces left by more than 10,000 people and horses are very large, so it is easy to be discovered. However, they ran fast, Yang Jinghui chased from morning to noon, and had already reached the foot of Hongji City, and he only captured dozens of horsemen who were injured or sick.

When he arrived at the foot of Hongji City, he was originally a little hesitant to continue the pursuit, driven by the utilitarian heart, and finally decided not to rest in Hongji City, but to chase directly. After chasing for another hour, the horsepower was exhausted, and he was about to turn back, but at this moment, he found that the smoke and dust were rising behind him, and the team of men and horses rushed like a wind

Yang Jinghui secretly complained, and he wanted to escape when he turned his horse's head, but after escaping more than 100 steps, when he looked back, he found that the banner stretched out in the smoke and dust was Datang's. He was immediately overjoyed: "It's the emperor's doctor"

It was Huangfu Weiming who came back, and Huangfu Weiming looked proud, looking forward to it, and he was quite complacent. He heard that Yang Jinghui asked to see him, and said to the left and right with a smile: "This Yang Jinghui is bold, he dares to chase the dog Rong here." But now that the main force of the dog has been wiped out by me, and the remnants of the army have fled into the deep ravine of the snow-capped mountains, he can only rejoice in vain. ”

The deputy general next to him, Zhuge Xuan, laughed: "If there is no Huangfu doctor's strategy, there will be no such work - but, Bian Lingcheng's side, he should know at this time, what should he do if he shouts?" ”

"This is Ye Chang and Gao Shi's strategy, I just changed it slightly, if he resents, he will resent Ye Chang." Huangfu Weiming said indifferently: "At most, I will share some credit with him." ”

He didn't think so, but the king next to him frowned.

However, Wang is also a general, and he has been up and down in the officialdom for a long time, so he naturally will not reveal his dissatisfaction.

"Let Yang Jinghui come to see me, I also want to know what happened to the city of Lu Dao, and the eunuch also dared to come to supervise the army, at this time, he was so frightened that he peed his pants? and the boastful Ye Chang, who actually talked about the side policies of the imperial court, thinking that he was familiar with side affairs, and now that he is really experiencing a death war, is he still hard-mouthed. Huangfu Weiming was very interested and ordered.

Yang Jinghui was quickly brought to Huangfu Weiming, and he bowed down and said: "Congratulations to the Huangfu doctor for his victory and return, the doctor's strategy is unparalleled, and his humble position is really admirable." ”

Huangfu Weiming has heard a lot of this kind of praise these days, but when he said it from Yang Jinghui, who has never been convinced, he still felt a little happy. Let Yang Jinghui get up and get on his horse and move forward with him, and then Huangfu Weiming said casually: "In the morning, I fought with the army that Dog Rong withdrew, and it was defeated, I heard the prisoner say that you fought well in Huacheng City, and you also killed the deputy marshal of Dog Rong with a crossbow, this is your strategy, right?" ”

Yang Jinghui's old face was slightly red, if that was his strategy, where did he need to chase and kill the dog Rong now, he said respectfully: "This is Ye Rong's strategy to join the army, lure the dog Rong nobles to gather on the stone, ambush the crossbow, and hit the crossbow with one blow, which is really not a humble achievement." ”

"Oh? It turned out to be Ye Chang's strategy, it seems that he is boastful, but he also has a bit of luck. ”

Yang Jinghui thought that Ye Chang had hardly rested in the city in the past few days, fought bloody battles with the soldiers, and even killed the front line twice, slashing a few dogs who had climbed to the top of the city, and couldn't help but say: "Ye Senjun has never boasted, he has taken the lead in the past few days, with a weak enemy and a strong enemy, and the soldiers are very respectful." ”

"Does he have the skills?" This made Huangfu Weiming a little surprised.

Huangfu Weiming knows Yang Jinghui, this person is meticulous and slightly arrogant, but he commands the battle quite steadily. It was precisely because of this that he arranged Yang Jinghui to Huacheng City, because he felt that with Yang Jinghui's ability, he could defend Huacheng City, and at most the casualties would be greater.

"What about the casualties in the city, the confession of the dog captives is unknown, and it turned into casualties in the city...... Is it heavy or not? ”

"More than 300 soldiers were killed or wounded...... Among them, more than 140 people were killed in the war. ”

"I'm afraid the wounded won't be able to survive this winter......" Wang sighed rarely.

With a total of 1,500 troops, more than 300 casualties and more than one-fifth of the losses, it was indeed relatively heavy. Huangfu Weiming nodded, and was about to speak, but he heard Yang Jinghui say: "Ye Senjun has already made arrangements before the war, except for those who died in battle and those who are really seriously injured, the rest of the situation is fine, Ye Senjun said that if there is no epidemic, they will raise it for two or three months, and they will be able to recover." ”

"Huh?" Huangfu Weiming was stunned: "Is this true?" ”

"Seriously, I also went to the wounded barracks to see it, and the situation in the wounded barracks is very good, and there are few people with gangrene and fever."

At this time, in the war, there were fewer people who actually died on the battlefield, and more people died from wound infection after the war. Since Ye Chang presided over the war in Huacheng City, how could he tolerate this situation to happen on a large scale, so the wounded barracks was the focus of his pre-war arrangement, not only was the camp full of medicines, but also some of the soldiers he temporarily taught were responsible for cleaning and disinfecting wounds, and even simple sutures and other surgical operations. In addition, the food and sanitation conditions of the wounded barracks were also clearly stipulated by Ye Chang in a detailed charter, one by one, which was clear and easy to operate.

This is also an important reason why Ye Chang was able to capture the hearts of the soldiers in a short period of time, many people originally thought that they would die, but now not only do they not die, but they have not suffered too much, how can they not be grateful to Ye Chang

Hearing Yang Jinghui tell Ye Chang about how to arrange the wounded barracks, Huangfu Weiming patted his head: "Oh, this is not mine, although Ye Chang has a place to talk about the army on paper in military affairs, but there is indeed something unique in dealing with the wounded camp - it is said that he once got the medicine king Sun Zhenren in a dream, presumably because of this ability." I should have thought of this place a long time ago, and using him here is the real right place

Wang rarely came over and said, "It's not too late, we have a lot of casualties this time......

With just one sentence, Huangfu Weiming glared at him fiercely, and Wang rarely knew that he was speechless.

Yang Jinghui took a look, could it be that this time the emperor Fu Weiming's expedition was not very smooth?

After returning to Hongji City, Huangfu Weiming ordered Yang Jinghui to return to Huacheng City to replace Ye Chang back, of course, he also asked Bian Lingcheng to return to Hongji City, but it was late at this time, and the next day, Ye Chang set off from Huacheng City and arrived in Hongji City in the afternoon.

Seeing that only Ye Chang came back, Huangfu Weiming's expression was a little displeased: "What about Ambassador Bian, he is still turning into a city?" ”

Ye Chang lowered his head and didn't speak, and one of Lingcheng's entourage next to him couldn't help but shout angrily: "Huangfu Weiming, you still have the face to mention the ambassador."

"What are you, how can you be allowed to make noise in the army?" Huangfu Weiming suddenly changed color, he didn't do his best, he was happy on the surface, but in fact he was still a little angry in his heart, and he happened to take the opportunity to attack at this time: "Drag it down, give me a baton"

"You have the ability to kill me, anyway, you have already harmed Ambassador Bian, you will not let go of people like me, but unless you kill us all, there will always be people in the court to sue you"

The man was stiff and shouted and made a fuss, and Ye Chang's drooping face showed a hint of a smile, but it was only a flash.

Among Bian Lingcheng's remaining subordinates, this guy has a bad temper and is used to being arrogant, Ye Chang brought this guy with bad breath and endured his complaints along the way, isn't it just for this time

Sure enough, Huangfu Weiming was still angry at first, but when he heard him say "hurt Ambassador Bian", his expression was a little suspicious: "I hurt Ambassador Bian?" Where do you start...... Ye Chang, are you a dumb person, don't you report the situation to me"

"You don't need Ye to join the army to say, Lao Tzu will tell you that the border ambassador is dead, and it is your ...... who fights"

Zhuge Yan signaled to the left and right, and suddenly a sergeant came, clamped the guy, and dragged him out with his mouth covered. Ye Changzhi said that he couldn't be silent anymore, so he came out and knelt on one knee: "Humble and incompetent, I really can't restrain Ambassador Bian, Ambassador Bian...... He went out of the city to ask for help from the imperial doctor, but unfortunately he was robbed by the dogs, so he ...... Death. ”

Huangfu Weiming suddenly heard it like thunder, his face turned pale, and he muttered, "This ...... How can it be? ”

He has calculated everything, with Ye Chang and Yang Jinghui, with the dangers of Huacheng City, and with so many troops, it is not a problem to hold for three or five days. Bian Lingcheng, a eunuch, is as timid as a mouse, as long as he retreats in the city and does not come out, then his life will be worry-free.

But now, although Huacheng City is defended, Bian Lingcheng is dead

He is the commander of this army, and Bian Lingcheng is the supervisor sent by the Son of Heaven to assist him - let Bian Lingcheng die here, and the responsibility for this is not small

"Ye joins the army, what is going on, you can tell me in detail" Zhuge Yan also exclaimed.

"The day before yesterday, the dog Rong attacked the city very urgently, in one day, four times on the head of the city, the city casualties were very heavy, the border prince thought that the dog Rong attacked again, the city is difficult to defend, so he decided to go out of the city at night to ask the emperor for help." Ye Chang said while presenting a letter, which was the one left by Bian Lingcheng: "Bian Gong didn't tell us about it, they left, and we didn't know anything, but the next morning, the dog retreated, and I asked Bian Gong to decide whether to pursue ......or not, and I found out about this General Yang did not report the matter to the Imperial Doctor? ”

Yang Jinghui was sent back to Huacheng City by Huangfu Weiming, how could he have time to report the matter, Huangfu Weiming took the letter, looked at it twice, and felt disgusting and uncomfortable like eating a handful of flies.
