Chapter 100 Be a man and learn from Xu Zizhang

Bai Xiangcheng killed more than a dozen lieutenants in one breath in the military camp west of the city, and killed more than a dozen Black Eagle cavalry generals on the point platform, and the news spread quickly.

When this was transmitted to the Black Eagle Cavalry Battalion in the east of the city, the main general of the battalion, Zhang Da, and the deputy general, Lu Ji, were shocked.

The two were stunned for a moment, and then Lu Ji said with envy, "No wonder the King of Northern Liao will let him reorganize the army, no wonder he is not afraid of the resistance of the cavalry battalion in the west of the city, if I am given such power of life and death, I can also control the more than 20,000 Black Eagle cavalry in the camp in the west of the city without blowing any effort." ”

"yes!" Zhang Da also opened his mouth and said, "We lost Yanmen Pass, according to military law, we will be beheaded if we are not filled with the army, and the king of Northern Liao, as the chief cadre of the Northern Liao camp, it is not an exaggeration for him to give Bai Xiangcheng such a power of life and death." However, this Baixiang City, I have never heard of it before, this time he only led 800 people to dare to break into the camp in the west of the city with more than 20,000 people, and killed more than 20 generals. ”

"Indeed, even you and I, I'm afraid that even if we get this order, we won't dare to kill like him!" Lu Ji said, "What a demon king! ”

When the two of them got the news that the chief manager was going to rectify the Black Hawk Ride, they also had thoughts of uncooperation in their hearts. After all, the two of them also know very well that once they lose their military power, they can only be lambs to be slaughtered under Ji Qingchen. But when they heard Bai Xiangcheng's bloody methods in the camp in the west of the city, the two discussed it and decided to listen to Ji Qingchen's order to assist Bai Xiangcheng in reorganizing the army, which led to such a relaxed conversation now.

The two knew that Bai Xiangcheng had killed more than 20 people in one go in the military camp west of the city, just to establish his authority. If he goes to the military camp in the east of the city and kills so many people, I am afraid it will also affect the morale of the army. Besides, there are too many generals killed, even if this army is reorganized, the combat effectiveness may be reduced a lot, and this time when they go to the military camp in the east of the city, it is impossible to kill like the military camp in the west of the city, so the two decided to obey the order.

Because the two of them knew that this time they cooperated with Bai Xiang City to reorganize the army, and their military power would definitely be deprived, but as long as they won Bai Xiang Cheng's favor, as long as they started a war with Beirong, they would still have the opportunity to unify the army, and it would not be too late to make meritorious service when the time came.

In fact, whether it is Xu Chong, Lu Ji, Zhang Da, etc. of the Chengxi Cavalry Battalion, in addition to being loyal to their generals, they don't want to lose their military power, just to be able to fight Beirong again, atone for their crimes, and exempt themselves from the crime of losing Yanmen Pass.

With Xiang Ziyu's acquiescence, and with the cooperation of Zhang Da, the chief general of the Chengdong cavalry battalion, and Lu Ji, the deputy general, Bai Xiangcheng led more than 20,000 Black Eagle cavalry to the Chengdong cavalry battalion, and was warmly welcomed by Zhang Da and Lu Ji, and with the cooperation of Zhang Da and Lu Ji, it only took two hours to complete the entire army of the Chengdong Cavalry Battalion, and the two battalions of soldiers and horses were gathered in one place for redistribution, and eleven cavalry battalions were divided into units of 5,000 people. Wang Yin and Liu Qingqing were assigned to the new cavalry battalion as lieutenants, and two of the remaining three battalions were assigned to Zhang Da and Lu Ji, and he himself led a battalion.

In this way, the 55,000 cavalry that Caozhou City could fight was divided up by Baixiang City!

When Bai Xiangcheng bloodily suppressed the resistance of the commander of the Chengxi Cavalry Battalion and cut off the heads of more than 20 generals in one go, Xu Dachun, who was the actual commander of the Chengxi Cavalry Battalion, suddenly collapsed on the chair. He knew what it meant for Bai Xiangcheng to kill these more than twenty generals in one go, which meant that all his henchmen in this cavalry were clear, and his control over this cavalry had reached zero.

Moreover, Bai Xiangcheng, as Ji Qingchen's henchman, dared to treat the generals in his camp like this, which was equivalent to giving him a signal, if he did not cooperate with Ji Qingchen, his fate would be the same as that of this group of generals.

It made him look like ashes!

Suddenly, an unconcealable sadness rose in his heart, and he suddenly felt that he was a little naΓ―ve and ridiculous, the Nine Emperors of Dayan who was Ji Qingchen, the dignified Northern Liao, and the governor of the Northern Liao, the chief manager of the camp in Northern Liao, why did he fight with others?

Oh, yes!

What else does he have besides having an elder brother who used to be the deputy head of the Northern Liao Xingying Camp and is now vacant in the position of Sima of the Northern Liao Metropolitan Governor's Mansion?

I'm so naΓ―ve! Childish and ridiculous!

At this moment, Xu Dachun's heart died, his dream was shattered, and his ideals disappeared!

It's all over for him!

Unconsciously saw two lines of tears flowing from the corners of his eyes!

"Dachun-" Suddenly, someone called his name, Xu Dachun looked up and found that it was his brother Xu Zizhang.

"Big brother-" Xu Dachun's tone was choked, facing his brother, his heart was very painful, but he didn't know what to say.

"Dachun, our brother has been determined to fight hard since he was a child, to worship the general Fenghou, to study literature for his brother, to be a high school jinshi, to worship Prime Minister Pei Cheng as a teacher, and you have studied martial arts hard, from a small soldier to a deputy general of the first army now, God is not thin on our brothers, what else do we have to ask for?" Xu Zihou said earnestly, "This defeat of Yanmen was originally due to the internal struggle for power and profit in our Northern Liao Xingying and the delay of the fighters, and they passed the buck to each other at the critical juncture, and they were unwilling to lose more soldiers and horses in their hands, and wanted to preserve their strength, which led to the loss of the city gate." ”

"This crime is very big, and it may lead to death." Xu Zizhang said in an awe-inspiring tone, "But as Dayan's man, we must bear this charge, if we don't carry our brothers, we will be sorry for the soldiers who died in battle, and sorry for the people in Liaozhou, Yunzhou, Shangzhou and other places." ”

"Big brother, I know what you mean." Xu Dachun was enlightened by his brother, his face was full of spirit again, and he said in a resolute tone.

"Yes! That's right! Xu Zizhang said arrogantly, "You have to remember that no matter where you go, our brothers must be responsible." ”

Xu Dachun nodded slightly.

Xu Zizhang walked to the chair in front of Xu Dachun and sat down, and continued, "At the beginning, our brother made an oath at his mother's grave, saying that he would kill the Northern Barbarians, guard Dayan, and pay homage to the marquis. It's a pity that in the past few years, our brother's official has become bigger and bigger, and he forgot the content of the original oath, and only remembered to pay homage to the prime minister. It's our brother who has gone wrong, and it's time to turn back. ”

"Because of the defeat in the battle of Yanmen, we retreated to Caozhou City, so there will be this time when the King of Northern Liao arrived in Caozhou, wanted to rectify the Black Eagle Cavalry, and wanted to continue to fight with Beirong, and Brother Wei heard that the King of Northern Liao fought with the Beirong cavalry outside the city today, and killed the deputy general of Beirong with yellow flags, Tuobani, and annihilated 800 Yellow Banner elite cavalry, this courage and courage are not comparable to our brothers." Xu Zizhang said, "You have liked knives and guns since you were a child, and you are good at bows and horse salvos, you are a person born for the battlefield, and you have been dragged down by your brother in the past few years!" If it weren't for my brother in order to obtain the weight of the prime minister, he would have to go to the Northern Liao Xing Camp to be the deputy manager, and let you compete with Xiang Ziyu for military power, let you accumulate your own strength, let you participate in the internal struggle and waste your military merits, I am afraid that with your bravery, I am afraid that the current reputation is not under Xiang Ziyu! ”

"Big brother, don't say it, we are brothers, the eldest brother is the father, how can Da Chun blame the eldest brother? This is all done by Da Chun willingly, and it has nothing to do with the eldest brother. Xu Dachun said a little moved, he didn't expect his brother, who had always regarded himself as a dignified brother, to say this today.

"Stupid-" Xu Zizhang scolded, but his words were full of love and pity, "I know that Lu Dao said such stupid things." Da Chun, what the eldest brother said today, do you have to remember the Dao, you have to remember it in your heart, and you must also listen to what the eldest brother says and do. ”

"Big brother, please speak!" Xu Dachun said solemnly.

"Brother Wei is the prime minister's student, no matter what the prime minister does, he wants to support the prince, brother Wei can only follow him in the future, this teacher-student friendship is inseparable. But you are different, if you don't have a brother, you don't belong to any prince's faction, and your identity is very innocent. According to the observation of his brother, the king of Northern Liao is deeply valued by His Majesty, and he is also a talented prince with warp and weft in his chest, and his future future is limitless. This time he went north to Caozhou to fight against Beirong, and there was a shortage of brave and loyal generals around him, this is an opportunity for you, so I hope you can ask for the forgiveness of the King of Northern Liao and follow him in the future. Xu Zizhang said earnestly.

"Big brother, this-what do you mean, as the saying goes, only when brothers work together can they break gold, and now that the king of Northern Liao is hostile to our brother, how can Da Chun go against his brother for his own future?" Xu Dachun shouted loudly, dissatisfied with Xu Zizhang's persuasion.

"Y-why are you so confused!" Xu Zizhang said angrily, "Why don't you understand what it means to be a brother?" ”

"What do you mean, big brother?" Seeing that his brother was angry, Xu Dachun suddenly lost his temper and asked in a low voice.

"No matter who our brother is to be the marquis in the future, he will be able to honor his ancestors and fulfill the vow he made at his mother's grave. But now the princes in the court are fighting endlessly for the position of the prince, if our brothers assist a prince at the same time, what will happen if the competition for the prince fails? We're both going to die. But wouldn't it be safer if our brothers were to separate and each of us assisted in his own choice? Xu Zizhang explained in a low voice.

Xu Dachun didn't speak, but was silent for a long time, and then said, "Thank you for the teachings of the eldest brother, Dachun listened to the eldest brother, and in the future, he will follow the side of the King of Northern Liao and assist him with all his heart." ”

"Yes!" Xu Zizhang was very satisfied that Xu Dachun could understand his hard work, and continued, "Remember, if you follow the King of Northern Liao, once you are an enemy of your brother, you must focus on the overall situation, and you must not make trouble for the sake of your brother's righteousness. ”

Xu Dachun didn't speak, but was silent for a moment, and nodded slowly, it was very difficult for him to turn against each other or kill each other, but for the sake of his brother's oath in front of his mother's grave, he had no choice.

Seeing that his younger brother agreed to his request, Xu Zizhang's serious face showed a relieved smile.

"Alright, tonight in the hall, and not the same as before. For my brother to go, you can prepare yourself! Remember, apologize to Your Highness for your incident in the cavalry camp west of the city today, and obtain his forgiveness. Xu Zizhang said, and after Xu Dachun nodded slightly, he got up and left.
