Chapter 51: There is something strange in the Xiang army
Xiangcheng Taishou Mansion, West Flower Hall.
"It's been half a month, isn't General Xue ready to leave?"
Xue Yao looked funny: "Little girl, just let me go?" Don't you think it's too much of a loss? ”
Huaiyu took a sip of tea and was silent.
Xue Yao suddenly approached: "I suddenly feel that being a safe and stable son-in-law in this Xiangcheng is really a beautiful thing in the world!" ”
Huaiyu held a white jade Peicui cup between his five fingers and threw it out, Xue Yao hurriedly took a few steps back and caught the teacup steadily.
"I said that you are a little girl, you fight and kill at every turn, it is really unseemly." He put the teacup back on the table, sat down across from Huaiyu, and chuckled, "Still, I like it." ”
Huaiyu has grown so big, and he has never seen such a shameless person.
"Since you are so leisurely, tell me about the capture of Xinxiang by the Qiang people, the Huyou army and the Qiang people have been holding each other for more than ten years, it stands to reason that the Huyou army should not have been defeated so miserably."
Xue Yao saw that she didn't want to laugh with herself, so she asked about it with a serious face, so she also put away the indecent expression on her face and sighed.
"The Tiger You Army and the Qiang people don't know how many battles they fought, in the past, the Qiang people attacked the city, the front stamina was more than enough and the stamina was insufficient, and they were beaten back by the Tiger You Army again and again, but this time, their offensive was stronger than one time, and my Hu You Army soldiers somehow, on the day of the last big battle, they vomited up and down on a large scale, and it was also my negligence ......"
"With such an obvious conspiracy, General Xue didn't take a closer look at the people in the army?"
Xue Yao smiled bitterly: "These days, I have been secretly investigating with my henchmen, but there are no clues at all. ”
"There is a saying that 'geese have left a voice, and people have left traces', so many soldiers vomit and diarrhea, how can they not find any clues, you, the general of the Tiger Army, have really done more than a little bit of!" A crisp voice came.
Duan Qinqin came in with a plate of snacks and put it in front of Huaiyu: "Na, try it, I made it myself!" ”
A few chicken-like pastries lying quietly on the plate were cute and cute, Huaiyu took one and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and praised: "Not bad, I see, if you really don't like to study medicine with Sister Chi and them in the future, you will open a wine shop in the future, and sell you these strange foods." ”
Duan Qinqin jumped up happily: "Is it really possible?" My greatest wish, in addition to following you into battle to kill the enemy, is to go to the kitchen to make food, and if I can open a wine shop in the future, I will definitely open a prosperous business. ”
Huaiyu saw her yearning, and did not interrupt her, only pushed the plate in front of him in front of Xue Yao.
Xue Yao hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm a big man, but I can't eat these sweet and greasy snacks from your little girl's house." ”
"Cut!"
Duan Qinqin took the plate in front of Xue Yao, "If you want to eat, I won't give it yet!" ”
Huaiyu shook his head and said to Xue Yao: "Qin Qin just said well, 'geese have left traces, people have left sounds', so many soldiers have been recruited to vomit and diarrhea, how can they not find out why?" ”
"I also wondered, the lieutenant generals and generals in the Tiger You Army are all cronies trained by my father for many years, and they are the mainstay of the Tiger You Army, and all the captains are also promoted by me personally, so it is impossible for them to betray me.
"Yuan Jie, the grain and grass superintendent, has been in charge of the baggage in the army for so many years, and he is an old man in the Huyou army, and it is even more impossible for him to do tricks and feet in the grain and grass of the army!"
After Huaiyu heard what he said, he asked: "After Wang Yun leaves the Huyou Army, who is responsible for escorting in the army?" ”
Xue Yao replied: "The Huyou army is stationed in Xinxiang, the grain and grass are desirable nearby, and there is a superintendent Yuan Jie, and it is more than enough to escort the grain and grass, so after Wang Yun returned to Kyoto, the Huyou army did not appoint a new escort for the time being." ”
"In this way, although Wang Yun is an escort in the army, he doesn't seem to have any real power?"
"No, no, no!"
Xue Yao shook his head and said, "Wang Yun is the son of the prime minister, and he is in the army-" Xue Yao suddenly fell silent and looked at Huaiyu with a gloating face, "Could it really be him?" ”
"Or else?" Huaiyu took another sip of tea, "Prime Minister Wang Cheng is a civil official, and the contradiction between the civil official and the military attache of Dayou has been going on for a long time. ”
"Ridiculous!"
Xue Yao slapped his palm on the table and stood up: "This is simply unreasonable!" ”
Huaiyu looked at the angry Xue Yao with some amusement, the person in front of him was born in the army, grew up in the army, and learned the art of war since he was a child, and it is understandable that he doesn't know those treacherous things in the court.
Xue Yao said angrily again: "My Huyou Army soldiers are bloody on the battlefield, and this is how they treat these hundreds of thousands of soldiers?" Besides, the Hu You army is far away in Xinxiang and has no intersection with those literati, why do they want to kill them all like this? It's ridiculous! Ridiculous! ”
"Then General Xue, how are you preparing?"
"How's it going?"
Xue Yao sat back at the table, depressed: "My father has been guarding Xinxiang for decades, I was born in Xinxiang and grew up in Xinxiang, my father died in battle at the age of sixteen, I was ordered to take over my father's seal, and now it has been five years. ”
As he spoke, he poured himself a cup of tea and smiled at Huaiyu: "Speaking of which, my father died on the battlefield on the day General Gu came to borrow grain. ”
"This ......"
Huaiyu felt a pain in her heart, clenched her fists, and stabilized her mind.
"Don't be sad, people are born to die, and my father died more than Mount Tai! I'm so proud of him! ”
Xue Yao showed a smile: "Wang Yun is a talented and knowledgeable person, my father values it very much, and I also respect it very much, with him, the baggage of the Hu You Army is well managed, the soldiers are well fed and clothed, and everyone is very grateful for everything he has done, and because of this, after he left, the escort in the army has not found a suitable person to do it, so it was simply empty first." ”
When Huaiyu heard him say that his father had died five years ago, she felt more sympathy for him, and now she spoke less with a gun and a stick, and she said:
"General Xue is a gentleman and a gentleman, he is all here, and he is full of praise for Wang Yun, which really impresses me! It's just that the sage said, 'Those who attack and rule with chaos will die, those who attack the righteous with evil will die, and those who will attack the obedient with counterattack will die', and now your Huyou army officers and soldiers are desperate in front, but all the supplies behind are hollowed out by villains and become a mess, how can such an army win the battle? ”
Xue Yao was stunned.
Huaiyu said again: "There is a saying that 'knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts', General Xue looks at people's eyes, I really don't dare to compliment." ”
Xue Yao choked, the woman in front of her was obviously still a green little girl who had not grown, how could she say it, she was like an old man who had experienced countless human sufferings.
"You're right!"
Xue Yao said: "How do you understand this? ”
"I should ask you this, how can you not even understand this?"
"Forehead ......"
Xue Yao supported his forehead.
Yuan Jie is an old man in the army, Wang Yun is deeply rooted in the army, no matter who Xue Yao suspects, he doesn't want to suspect the two of them, besides, Wang Yun has already gone back to Kyoto last year, who would have expected that his hand would be stretched out so long?
This is really a fan of the authorities, and the onlookers are clear.
Xue Yao sighed, this Tiger You Army is indeed time to put things in order!
