Chapter 145: Huang Yao's Life Talisman
Huang Yao took off Ji Yuan's quilt: "What are you sleeping, the two of us are still confused here, you still sleep so soundly." ”
Ji Yuan was disturbed by the two of them, and he was not happy in his heart, and he spoke with a sense of irritability: "You two go out and wait for a while, I will change my clothes and explain to you slowly." ”
Huang Yao and Feng Yanzhi glanced at each other, then turned back to Ji Yuan and said, "Okay, then let's go out and wait, you can do it as soon as possible." ”
Ji Yuan waved his hand at the two of them, and covered the quilt again: "Hurry up and get out!" Change your clothes! ”
After Huang Yao and Feng Yanzhi went out, Ji Yuan put a layer of armor on the outside of his clothes, and in an instant, the whole person became heavy, and a soldier's momentum also came to his face.
He hung his sword carefully at his side before he walked out.
Lifting the curtain of the tent, the two stood outside and could not be idle, surrounded by a group of soldiers, discussing training and camping.
The Northwest Army is stationed in the northwest all the year round, and it is the barrier of the Great Liang Dynasty, blocking the attack of Anda and the Mongols, whether it is in terms of numbers, discipline, and the quality of the soldiers, it is incomparable to the Gu Army.
In the past nearly a month, Huang Yao and Feng Yanzhidu have eaten and lived with the Northwest Army, just to be able to really get familiar with the Northwest Army, to be able to do it under them, and to be able to order and prohibit it.
Therefore, the two of them have been working hard to govern the army this month, and they don't know anything about the outside world, let alone the affairs of Jiangnan Dong Xiaowan, and they don't even know anything about the seal.
Ji Yuan glanced at the two of them, meaning to speak to a place where no one was around.
Huang Yao saw it, patted Feng Yanzhi's shoulder, leaned on his shoulder and said to him, "Let's go over there." ”
After speaking, he lifted his chin in the direction where Ji Yuan was.
The two of them explained to the soldiers around them before they were able to get out.
Ji Yuan suddenly grabbed Huang Yao's shoulder, who was walking outside, and said to the two, "Let's go farther." ”
The three of them walked a little distance side by side, checking that there was no one else around, and then Ji Yuan slowly opened his mouth to explain the matter to them.
"Do you know why the emperor sent you to the southwest?"
Feng Yanzhi's brows furrowed slightly: "Didn't you say to save Uncle Gu?" ”
Huang Yao added: "The order we received is that the rebel party in the southwest will capture Uncle Gu Liuying alive, and the emperor will send our Northwest Army to assist Uncle Gu Liuhui to quell the rebel party and rescue Uncle Gu Liuying." ”
Ji Yuan nodded after hearing this: "Brother Chu and I also heard about these and rushed directly to the southwest. ”
After Ji Yuan said this, he was silent for a while with his back to Huang Yao and Feng Yanzhi, suppressing the sadness in his heart before turning back again.
"When we arrived, General Gu Liuhui had already led all the Gu family troops to fight against the order to rescue General Gu Liuying, and carried 20,000 on the other side with 7,000 soldiers."
"Uncle Gu Liuhui single-handedly took the lives of the two enemy leaders on the opposite side, and the countless swords in his body died on the battlefield."
"When we arrived, General Gu Liuhui had already died with the enemy, and the soldiers of Tujiabao surrendered without a leader."
"It's just....... When we rescued General Gu Liuying, he had already broken his hamstrings, and it would be difficult to walk in the future, let alone march and fight. ”
When Ji Yuan said these words, he kept taking a breath, as if he couldn't say this at all.
"When Brother Chu arrived with me, all that left was to collect the surrender and rectify the affairs of the troops."
After Feng Yanzhi and Huang Yao heard this, tears fell out at once, and then wiped them away, licked their lips, and opened their mouths slightly, looking incredulous.
The horse leather shroud is the best fate for those of them who have been galloping on the battlefield all year round, but they still can't help but sigh, pity, pity.
Especially General Gu Liuying, who was picked on and broke his hamstrings, what a great shame this is, it is unimaginable.
Ji Yuan continued to explain: "In fact, this battle was sent by the Gu family army to resist the order, so the emperor actually ordered you to pick up the battle merits, there is no battle to fight in the southwest for a long time, and the rebels have already gathered under the command of Brother Chu to the Gu family army." ”
Feng Yanzhi and Huang Yao sighed deeply after hearing this.
Huang Yao: "So, Brother Chu wanted Gu Jiajun to receive this honor alone, so he sent you to join us in advance." ”
Feng Yanzhi smiled: "Brother Chu is still so stubborn. ”
"After all, this is good for both the Gu family army and the Northwest Army." Ji Yuan looked at the two of them and spoke slowly.
The Northwest Army does not need to get involved in this muddy water, although it may receive some less rewards, but this inexplicable reward is a shame for the Northwest Army, which thinks highly of itself.
They are invincible in their own wars, so why should they rob others of their merits and cause a commotion.
For Gu Jiajun, the fact that there are 7,000 to 20,000 rebels can make the remaining soldiers of Gu Jiajun glorious for the rest of their lives, and even if they retire from the army and return to their hometowns, they can find a good job.
In this matter, the only bad thing is Chu Shancheng, the emperor wants to use the position of the commander of the Praetorian Guard to lure him to shut up obediently.
But if he came the opposite, what kind of thunder and anger would it cause, and only Chu Shancheng would bear it in the end.
But when Chu Shancheng made this decision, he didn't even think about it, as if he should have done this, so he did it.
He didn't care at all about what imperial orders were difficult to disobey, what military merits were outstanding, and he was the commander of the forbidden army.
The word "gentleman" on Chu Shancheng's body is exactly this kind of unruliness in his bones.
It's not annoying, but admirable.
"yes, I see." Huang Yao nodded, "Then it seems that we don't have to go to the southwest, let's go back to the capital, and go this trip in vain." Huang Yao smiled shyly and touched the hilt of the sword at his side with his fingers.
This is a small habit of Huang Yao, when he is sad, he will touch the hilt of the saber on his side with his fingers, like a symbol of giving himself security.
This sword was once, he was knocked off his horse by the enemy on the battlefield, and Chu Shancheng used this sword to pick out the enemy's hidden arrow that pierced his heart. Later, Chu Shancheng gave him this sword, and Brother Chu said that this sword has a name, called chalcedony, because chalcedony can give people a sense of security. This sword saved his life, and it should be his Huang Yao's life talisman.
Later, when he was confused, doubtful, sad, or lonely, in short, when he felt uncomfortable, he would take his thumb and keep sharpening the hilt of the sword on his head.
Fortunately, the hilt itself is white, otherwise it would have been faded by him.
Feng Yanzhi asked, "What about Brother Chu, why didn't he come with you with the army?" ”
Ji Yuan scratched his head: "I heard that Dong Xiaowan had an accident, so he went to Jiangnan with Weng Xiang, gave me a death order, and immediately took Gu Jiajun to rush back." ”
