Chapter 300: The Counterattack of the Guizi (3)
Confused, confused, alas, how to be so impatient! Seeing that Bai Ningye and Bai Suxin had completely fallen out, Nali was caught off guard and was suddenly anxious, in his opinion, Bai Ningye wanted to seize military power is inevitable, but he can't turn his face with Bai Suxin on the spot, he can be comforted with good words first, stabilize Bai Suxin first, and then slowly clean up in the future, there is no need to make trouble to such a point where it is incompatible, now the knives are pulled out, and there is no way back if you want to ease up, at this point, Nali in addition to scolding Bai Ningye in his heart for being naΓ―ve and frivolous, I can only stand up and clean up the mess.
"Presumptuous, draw the sword in front of the king, conspire against the crime, all the soldiers, take down this thief!" Nali flashed out with a stride, blocked in front of the copy, pointed at Bai Suxin, and shouted loudly. Nali has long been the prime minister, in the country of Guizi prestige is very high, he roared, suddenly the generals from the confusion woke up, several quick response of the generals immediately realized that this is a good opportunity to show loyalty in front of the king, how can you let it go, invariably hugged up, seven hands and eight feet to press Bai Suxin to the ground, snatch the knife, press the hands and feet are also busy, three times five divided by two will Bai Suxin subdued on the spot.
"Let go of the old man, let go of the old man, wait for the fool, this thief Qiao Zhao usurped the throne, and his crime should be punished......" Bai Suxin struggled desperately, roaring, how could he be alone, he couldn't break free from the hands of the generals at all, although several of Bai Suxin's henchmen had the heart to come forward to help, but seeing that the situation was not quite right, he didn't dare to act rashly at all, so he could only watch Bai Suxin struggling there.
If you fight a snake, you have to kill it, and if you kill someone, you have to kill it thoroughly! Na Li, who has been in politics for a long time, understands this truth, and seeing that he and Bai Suxin have completely torn his face, he doesn't want Bai Suxin to escape this catastrophe alive, so he doesn't wait for the generals to speak out, and immediately breaks off and says: "Drag it out, cut it off!" β
Nali's move was originally a good intention, but he planned to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer in the future, and at the same time, he also took the charge of killing the general on his own head to protect Bai Ningye's reputation, but Bai Ningye would be wrong, and when he saw that Nali did not discuss with him at all, he gave an order, and suddenly there was a feeling of being ignored in his heart, and without waiting for the generals to act, Bai Ningye snorted coldly and said: "Wait, General Bai is an old minister of the three dynasties, and he is the uncle of the widow in terms of seniority, although his crime is huge, the widow can't bear to add it with a knife and axe, and he is old and confused, The widow spared him one death, but the death penalty could be avoided, and the living crime could not be escaped, so he was dragged out and beaten with fifty military sticks to pay respect. As soon as these words came out, several generals immediately dragged Bai Suxin, who was scolding herself, out of the tent, and went to arrange the punishment without mentioning it.
"Your Majesty, this ......" Nali heard Bai Ningye's words, and immediately became anxious, and was busy to give advice, but Bai Ningye didn't want to listen, in his opinion, Bai Suxin, who has no military power, is just a dog, and it is very easy to clean it up at any time, moreover, at this time, he has just ascended the throne, and he is anxious to establish his prestige, how can he tolerate Nali's advice, he waved his hand to interrupt Nali's words, and said with a straight face: "The will of the widow has been decided, the prime minister does not need to say much, Zhong Aiqing will immediately return to the camp to rectify the soldiers and horses, and wave the army to the royal city early tomorrow morning." As soon as the words fell, he did not give Nari another chance to persuade him, and strode into the back tent.
As soon as Bai Ningye left like this, Nali had no choice but to scold Bai Ningye's naivety in his heart, and then saw that the generals in the big tent were still standing there stupidly, and he was even more annoyed, and paused and said: "Didn't you hear Your Majesty's order, why don't you go and prepare!" The generals who were stunned together came back to their senses, bowed and saluted, withdrew from the Chinese army's tent, and returned to the camp without mentioning it.
Alas, the erector can't do anything! Nali stood in the empty Chinese army tent for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile, dragged his feet out of the tent, looked at Bai Suxin, who was being tortured, with a calm face, and went to his big tent without saying a word......
Whether it is the two thousand soldiers and horses who have just been transferred from Wanhe City or the more than 10,000 soldiers in the large camp are nervously sorting out their bags, preparing for a rapid march early tomorrow morning, the whole camp is chaotic, full of busy soldiers of each battalion, only a small camp near the northwest corner of the camp is a dead silence, except for the footsteps of more than a dozen armored warriors who patrol back and forth and the sound of the friction of the iron armor, there is no sound next to itNeedless to say, this is where the former general Bai Suxin is detained.
"Who?" In the darkness, the sound of footsteps alarmed the patrolling sentinels, and an officer who looked like a hundred households held the hilt of the sword at his waist and broke out.
"It's me." A deep voice sounded, and then a thousand household chiefs led three personal guards out of the darkness, looked at the hundred household chiefs with a calm face and said, "Sa Baihu, can't you even hear the old man's voice, huh?" β
"Ah, it's General Baili, why are you here?" Sa Baihu saw the comer clearly by the light of the torch, and hurriedly stepped forward, flattering with a smile on his face, without him, this Baili general who came is not an idle person, Baili Tao, the chief officer of the logistics baggage battalion, although his status in the army is not high, but the authority in his hands is not small, and the supply of the soldiers in the battalion is all in his hands, if he accidentally offends this person, then there will be a big hardship, lack of food and clothing is still a trivial matter, without the supplement of arrows and blades, is it not equivalent to going to the battle array to die, This guy is a cautious eye, and he is a relative of King Qiuzi's class, his identity can be regarded as noble, and no one in the camp dares to offend him easily, not to mention Sa Baihu, even Prime Minister Nali has to give him a little thin face.
"What? Can't the old man come, huh? Bai Litao raised his eyebrows and asked impatiently.
The order received by Sa Baihu was not to allow anyone to visit Bai Suxin in private, but in the face of Bailitao, he didn't dare to say the order directly, so he could only say with a smile: "Hehe, General Baili misunderstood, misunderstood, of course you can come, but, just, that, ah, Your Majesty has an order, that, you know, the small one is very embarrassed, you ...... old"
"Well, I know, the old man just came to see and leave soon, isn't this still possible?" Bai Litao walked to Sa Baihu's side as he spoke, and when he shook his hand, a small cloth bag quietly fell into Sa Baihu's hands.
The cloth bag hand is a heavy feeling, thinking that there are few yellow and white things in it, Sa Baihu is an interesting person, he laughed hehehe, and did not speak, but turned his body to the side, and made a passage. Bai Litao patted Sa Baihu on the shoulder with great satisfaction, and led the three guards to swagger towards the lonely little tent.
A dim oil lamp flickered brightly and dimly at the head of the bed, illuminating the tent that was not a big one, and the lights flickered, and the flickering changes made Bai Suxin's already gloomy mind lying on the marching bed even more annoying, and the stinging sensation from the stick wound on his back made Bai Suxin feel like he wanted to roar wildly, however, for the dignity of the general for many years, Bai Suxin was not allowed to make a moaning girl, no matter how bitter and painful it was, he could only endure it. It's just that the hatred for Bai Ningye and Nari in my heart has become more and more intense.
More than 30 years, more than 30 years of crisscrossing the territory, more than 100 large and small wars, for the survival of the Qiuzi Kingdom, all the things that have been paid in this life, but in the end, he has been treated as a prisoner, Bai Suxin is not reconciled, but now people are swordsmen, and they are fish and meat, what can Bai Suxin do even if he is not satisfied, every time he thinks of Bai Ningye's arrogance in the daytime, Bai Suxin has a sense of bitterness and hatred, and deeply hates that he did not take the opportunity to make a decision a few days ago, if he can be the first to stand on his own, how can he be so miserable now.
"General." A slightly choked voice woke Bai Suxin up from his thoughts, and he tried his best to look up, and he saw Bai Litao's face with pain, his heart suddenly warmed, and he was busy getting up, but it was involved in the injury behind him, and Bai Suxin gasped "ah" in pain.
"The general lie down quickly, the end will be one step late, and the general will suffer." Bai Litao rushed forward, grabbed Bai Suxin's body, and said apologetically.
Bailitao is a new general who has emerged in recent years, although the martial arts are average, but the person is good, and the class of the king of Qiuzi is related to the past, and gradually mixed up some fame in the army, since the Tuoxun war, because of the loss of the turtle general, Bailitao also climbed to the high position of the head of a thousand households, and Bai Suxin is relatively close, although it is not Bai Suxin's henchman, but the relationship is relatively intimate, this time Bai Suxin fell down, the original "love general" who surrounded him all day long None of them showed up, but Bai Litao ran over, which moved Bai Suxin greatly, let Bai Litao help him lie down, and asked in a low voice: "How dare you come here, aren't you afraid of being implicated by old decay?" β
"The last general Su Ri is deeply favored by the general, and now the general is in trouble, how can the last general be put out of it, the last general hates to replace him, the general, you have been wronged." Bai Litao said impassionedly.
Although Bai Suxin was quite grateful for Bai Litao's generosity in his heart, his face was still very calm, and he said lightly: "That's it, the old man should have this calamity in his fate, and that guy dares to usurp the throne, so he will let the old man go, and it is not worth taking a life for the old man." β
Bai Suxin said so, but there was unwillingness in his words, Bai Litao knew this, but he didn't break it, but he leaned into Bai Suxin's ear and whispered: "General, the last general has been arranged to stop, and the general will be saved from danger tonight, and the general is asked to make a decision as soon as possible, and I am afraid of changes later." β
"The old man is not guilty, the old man is not leaving!" Bai Suxin didn't expect Bai Litao to say this, and for a while he couldn't determine whether this was a trap set by Nali and others, so he straightened his face and said calmly.
"General, it's too late if you don't leave, the last general has learned the exact news, after the army goes out tomorrow, someone is going to poison the general, please think twice." Bai Litao hurriedly persuaded him, although his voice was extremely low, the eagerness in his tone was fully revealed.
Bai Suxin has been in the court for a long time, after three dynasties, how could he not know the cruelty and bloodiness of the battle for the throne, thinking of the conflict between Bai Ningye and Nali during the day, he has believed Bai Litao's words for seven or eight points, but he can't understand why Bai Li Tao risked his life to save himself, so he didn't rush to answer, but looked at Bai Li Tao suspiciously, waiting for his explanation.
"General Mingjian, the last general's move is also out of helplessness to save himself, the sister of the last general has clashed with Bai Ningye in the palace many times, at this time he has usurped the throne, once the royal city is captured, how can I accommodate my brother and sister, if the last general does not escape, there is only a dead end, however, now the army is in chaos, the last general fled alone, and where can he flee to, only with the general to go to Wanhe City, and the military power can have a glimmer of vitality." Seeing Bai Suxin's face showing a deep groan, Bai Litao gloomy and explained curtly.
Bai Mingli, the guard of Wanhe City, is Bai Suxin's nephew, and has always been Bai Suxin's confidant, and he can be described as obedient to Bai Suxin, although Wanhe City was transferred away by Bai Ningye 2,000 soldiers and horses, but still has 3,000 heavy soldiers. β
Seeing that Bai Suxin had made up his mind, Bai Litao was overjoyed, nodded heavily, called a personal guard to his side, and ordered the personal guard to exchange clothes and armor with Bai Suxin in a low voice, and the other two personal guards supported Bai Suxin in the middle, swaggered out of the small tent, and walked out without hesitation.
"General Baili, are you leaving?" Sa Baihu, who was guarding not far from the tent, saw Baili Tao walk out of the tent, hurriedly greeted him, nodded and asked.
"Well, I'm leaving, Sa Baihu can be loyal to his duties, he is really a model in the army, this general will not forget Sa Baihu's feelings, if you need it in the future, just say it, General Ben can't lose you." Bai Li Tao smiled and put his hand on Sa Baihu's shoulder, blocking it aside, and laughed nonsense in his mouth.
Sa Baihu had obtained Bailitao's cloth bag before, and had already secretly seen the connotation - a small half-bag of jewelry, which is worth hundreds of times, and his heart is bubbling with beauty at this time, and when he heard Bailitao say it so politely, he was even more excited, how could he pay attention to whether the three inconspicuous guards were original and genuine, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "General Baili is polite, his subordinates are just doing their duty, and they should not be praised by General Baili." β
"The duty is good, the most rare thing in the world is the word duty, hehe, Sa Baihu can do his job, and it is not far from the promotion of thousands of households, the general camp has prepared wine and food, and so Sa Baihu is on duty, and how about a few bottles of wine in the general's camp?" Bai Litao peeked at his two guards and saw that Bai Suxin had already walked into the darkness, so he stopped pulling and pulling with Sa Baihu, patted Sa Baihu on the shoulder with a smile, dropped a sentence, shook his body and walked away.
"You must go, you must go, hehe, General Baili, you are good to go." Sa Baihu nodded again and again flattered, and sent Bai Litao away with a flattering face, not thinking of entering the account to see if Bai Suxin was still in the tent......
On the twelfth day of the seventh month of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, at four o'clock at the end, the weather was as hot as a flowing fire, although the meandering Tarim River was on the edge of the barracks, it did not reduce the heat in the barracks at all, but because of the steaming of the water, the heat in the barracks added a little more stuffiness, however, for the Tang officers and soldiers who were engaged in intense training, this heat was nothing compared to the suffering suffered in the training - since the end of May, they were ordered to mobilize to the Puchang front line in Daxizhou, Yizhou, and Yangzhou (the capital Loulan, A total of more than 6,700 officers and soldiers of the garrison battalion in the twelve counties of the three prefectures have been suffering in this military camp for a month and a half, from the most basic horse steps, training queues to marksmanship, archery, and equestrian skills, all of which have been practiced. Those who can complete the relevant assessment can join the regular army - the salary of the regular army is more than three times that of the officers and soldiers of the same level of the garrison battalion, this is not counting, even the cotton fields are also much more than the garrison officers and soldiers, and there are many more opportunities for promotion, as for the opportunity to study in the military academy is only enjoyed by the regular army, in order to have a good future to run, it is nothing to suffer some suffering, especially for the people outside the Saiwai, suffering is originally an ordinary thing, since everyone is brave to fight for the first, no one is willing to lag behind, Not to mention that it was just a hot day, even if it was under the knife, it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers for training.
It was very hot, Liu Qi stood expressionlessly under the scorching sun, letting the sweat flow all over the ground, but his body never moved at all, standing tall on the small high platform of the martial arts arena, like a mountain that does not move, however, his heart is by no means calm - in the eyes of outsiders, he is only in his early twenties, he is already in the high position of the Yizhou town guard, and can become the commander-in-chief of the eastern front of the Tang Army in Anxi, Liu Qi can definitely be regarded as a young man, however, this is not what Liu Qi wants, for Liu Qi, Being able to fight on the battlefield is the true character of a general, especially being able to fight with the new generation of the Tang Dynasty God His Royal Highness King Yue is the most desirable thing in life, but now the robes are in full swing, but he can only train the reserve soldiers in this military camp, which really makes Liu Qi very unhappy and depressed - according to the predetermined battle plan, Liu Qi's eastern front troops are just virtual soldiers, just for the purpose of leading, and there are no relevant arrangements for the battlefield, which makes Liu Qi, who is eager to fight, depressed to the extreme, and the partial plan is top secret. He is the only one in the whole army who knows, and every time he faces the requests of his generals to fight, Liu Qi can only bear the bitterness of having no war to fight in his own heart, and when he trains the army, he is extremely strict.
"Seventh brother, drink a bowl of tea and take a rest." Just when Liu Qi was thinking about it, an officer dressed in the uniform of Liang Cao joining the army held a bowl of herbal tea, walked up to the small high platform with a certain demeanor, stood behind Liu Qi, and asked softly.
There is only one person in the Manchurian military camp who can call Liu Qi "Seventh Brother", that is Qu Feiyan, who was specially approved by Li Zhen, the king of Yue, to join the army as the chief logistics officer of the Tang Army on the Eastern Front, as for why Li Zhen, the king of Yue, is like this, although Liu Qi faintly guessed it, but he didn't dare to say anything, every time he faced Qu Feiyan's tenderness, Liu Qi always seemed a little helpless, and it was the same at this time, as soon as he heard Qu Feiyan greet, the flow of sweat on Liu Qi's forehead suddenly accelerated by three points, and he turned his head a little stiffly, A shy smile appeared on a black face, and he said innocently: "It's okay, I'm not tired, it's hot, Qu and Qu join the army, it's better to go back to the camp and rest." β
Liu Qi's words became quieter and quieter, but the flush on his face became bigger and bigger, such a twisted look, how could there be a trace of a general, just like a stupid boy on the street, Qu Feiyan was also infected with a blush, lowered his head, stuffed the tea bowl in his hand into Liu Qi's hand, and ran down the small high platform as if flying, leaving Liu Qi standing there stupidly, looking at Qu Feiyan's back and stunned.
"Oh, oh, yes, yes......" A group of officers and soldiers are all young people, and they respect Liu Qi, a young general, very much on weekdays, but the big guys are all at a troublesome age, seeing that General Liu, who was not smiling in the past, became demented, and immediately made a fuss, laughing on the martial arts field, but Liu Qi was annoyed by the laughter, turned around, and roared angrily: "What are you laughing at? Laughing, each of them practiced for half an hour. β
It's good that Liu Qi didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, the officers and soldiers who were all in the martial arts arena laughed loudly, laughing crookedly, which made Liu Qi very embarrassed, and just wanted to sink his face to drink, and suddenly saw a group of officers walking out of the crowd, the first person was the prince Shi Moli, who didn't care about the officers and soldiers who were very presumptuous anymore, and hurriedly jumped off the small high platform, and greeted him in three steps and two steps, and said loudly: "Mo Changshi, why are you here?" β
Mo Li gently shook the feather fan in his hand, and said happily: "Well, the horse step is here after half an hour of training." β
As soon as he heard Mo Li's words, it was full of ridicule, Liu Qi put down his hand holding the tea bowl, and he didn't hold it, he shook his head with a wry smile, and simply didn't explain, and his embarrassing appearance suddenly caused the audience to laugh again.
"Drink it quickly, this is a piece of Miss Qu's heart, I really want to sprinkle it, I'm afraid that your horse step will not only have to practice for half an hour." Mo Li looked at Liu Qi with interest for a while, and joked with a smile.
"Hehe...... Liu Qi was made out of temper by Mo Li, smirked a few times, dried the tea, handed the bowl to the guards behind him, glanced at Mo Li, who was smiling, and said: "The military advisor has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so there must be a task here?" But there's a battle to be fought? β
Mo Li didn't answer directly, just shook the feather fan in his hand with a smile, and said lightly: "Let's go, let's go into the tent." As soon as the words fell, he led a group of generals to the Chinese army's tent.
As soon as Mo Li left, a group of officers of the garrison battalion immediately surrounded Liu Qi's regiment, and they asked for a battle with nonsense, which made Liu Qi dizzy, and he had to sink his face and order loudly: "If you don't go to training, the officers on duty in the Chinese army will register all those who leave their posts without permission, and each person will be punished for one hour." As soon as these words came out, all the officers immediately scattered, Liu Qi smiled, and no matter how the generals muttered in their hearts, they hurried to the big tent of the Chinese army......
