Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 144 Secret Report

Satisfaction came back soon, and when he came back, he had two more steamed buns and a chicken leg in his hand, and apologized to the two generals while eating: "I'm sorry two generals, I'm so hungry, what did you two just say!" ”

Hou Junji looked at the picture of Xiangxin sitting down directly with him, but Cheng Yanjin looked at Xiangxin like a baby and said: "The old man said that he would lead the troops to crusade against the Turks, but General Hou said that he would not let me go, what he meant was that the Turks were located on the plateau, and our Tang soldiers could not exert their combat strength, and it would be in vain to go." ”

Only then did he know the content of the quarrel between the two generals, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he said: "We still have to fight, we can't let them bully us, but we let them go because of the terrain!" ”

Cheng Yanjin heard that his words were satisfactorily recognized, and looked at Hou Junji proudly, Hou Junji also said impatiently: "It's still that problem, our soldiers on the plateau are not adaptable, and they will react more or less, how to fight if it affects combat effectiveness!" ”

Xiangxin said while eating steamed buns: "They have already killed a lot of people this time, we fight them, they may not fight us, I mean to make them pay, not necessarily to send troops to fight them!" ”

Hou Junji snorted coldly, ignored him and asked Cheng Yanjin instead: "Old Cheng, you haven't said what has happened to the city in the past few days, I met those Turks on the way, but when they saw us, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and they ran into the mountains and forests without even resisting!" ”

Cheng Yanjin saw that Hou Junji was displeased, and he also knew what he meant, he wanted to hurry back to Chang'an to receive the reward, and he wanted to subdue the Turks, but Hou Junji was not wrong, at least what he said was true, Cheng Yanjin heard Hou Junji's words and immediately said: "When we arrived in Jingzhou, the Turks had already broken the city, and His Royal Highness the Prince's life was hanging by a thread, but fortunately, we arrived in time, and those Turks were like lost dogs, without the power to resist!" ”

Hou Junji was a little shocked, looked at Cheng Yanjin and said, "Isn't it that you are afraid of beating them?" You mean when you see them, they're scared? How is this possible! ”

Cheng Yanjin knew Hou Junji's thoughts, he also had this doubt before, and then he looked at the corpse of the Turks, compared how many he killed after he arrived, and then compared how many he killed before he came, he was surprised to find that the original garrison of less than 5,000 people killed at least 30,000 people, and after he arrived, he only chased and killed more than 10,000 people, although 10,000 people were said to have been poisoned by wasps, but this number is also high and terrifying.

Cheng Yanjin thought for a while and explained: "They should have been frightened by the soldiers of the Prince's Mansion, when the prince left Chang'an, he asked the Mo family for a thousand sets of rattan armor, the rattan armor is not broken, plus the new knife in our hands, facing the Turks is naturally like chopping melons and vegetables, and the Turks are estimated to be because we are all like the soldiers of the Prince's Mansion, so we fled in a hurry!" ”

Hou Junji thought of the neat and invincible teams on the training ground, and couldn't help but sigh: "So that's the case, no wonder the Turks are so afraid, what about those soldiers, I must ask for credit for them!" ”

Cheng Yanjin's eyes were a little gloomy when he heard this, and he sighed and said: "In the end, most of them were killed in battle, leaving less than two hundred people, the rattan armor and knives were put away, and the corpses were burned into ashes and put in the jar. ”

While eating steamed buns, he couldn't help but shed tears, he thought that so many days had passed, he had let go, but every time he heard or mentioned these things, he always felt that it was his own escape, so that everyone had such a big sacrifice, although the soldiers were also satisfied, saying that everyone understood him, and he didn't have much combat effectiveness if he stayed, but he still couldn't help but blame himself in his heart.

Hou Junji also sighed a little, he thought that Jingzhou City was defended by Cheng Biting Jin, but he didn't expect that it was actually relying on this less than 10,000 defenders, Hou Junji turned his head to look at Chengxin and said: "Xiangxin, you just said that you want to fight the Turks, how do you think you should fight?" ”

He thought about it, wiped his tears and said: "It hasn't been long since the winter, and there is not much food left for the Turks, although they have only robbed Yizhou City for a long time, but they want to use these grains as military rations to attack Jingzhou City, as long as we deploy troops on the border, and then send some cavalry who can adapt to the plateau to harass them, think of ways to burn their food, as long as they dare to come out, they will fight them, and if they dare not come out, they will harass them, I believe they will definitely give in!" ”

Hou Junji also nodded, "That's right, the Turks have been trying their best to exchange food with us, in the past, our food was not enough to eat, and we had to exchange with them under pressure, now it seems that they have no source of food, what should we do!" ”

Cheng Yanjin nodded and said: "Leave some soldiers and food, let's prepare to go to the border to guard, as for Chengxin and the prince, go back to Chang'an with those people from Gaochang Kingdom, His Royal Highness the prince has earned enough hearts from the people this time!" ”

Jingzhou City has been stabilized here, and Gao Changguo was also taken hostage under the coercion of Hou Junji.

A few days ago, he suddenly received a secret report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had taken people to Jingzhou, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince guessed that Jingzhou might be raided by the Turks.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty sighed for a while, some people said that the prince was far-sighted, and some people said that the prince was worried.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wasting military funds, although a team of 1,000 people can't spend much food, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really taboo to transfer troops at will like this!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, there was a Adou who transferred Zhuge Liang, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will transfer troops at will, how is this good!"

"Your Majesty, I think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have a reason, he is not a person who does things for no reason, and I hope Your Majesty will see it!"

"Gaochang State is my vassal state, it has paid tribute steadily for many years, and has a close relationship with my Tang Dynasty, how can it be possible to rebel and let the Turks attack Jingzhou City!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, these groundless speculations of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will chill Gaochangguo and other vassal countries!"

One day later, another secret report came, Cheng Yanjin went to Jingzhou with half of the soldiers and horses, Wei Chigong took the other half of the men and horses to Yizhou, and Hou Junji had already arrived at the border of Yizhou.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty slandered Li Chengqian even more.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't let the prince personally conquer, and the war is not a child's house, how can you rely on guessing to march, and this tune is an army of 50,000!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never come up with substantial evidence, and only based on his own groundless speculation, he asked General Cheng to lead troops to support him, if Yizhou suddenly encounters a large army of Turks, what should it be!"

"Your Majesty, General Cheng has been in a hundred battles and already knows that the generals will not be subject to foreign military orders, if he doesn't know any clues, how can he go to Jingzhou for no reason, please let Your Majesty know!"

"Your Majesty, can the crown prince mobilize 50,000 soldiers and horses at will? Cheng Yanjin has followed His Majesty for many years, doesn't His Majesty know what he is like? ”

Two days later, another secret report came back, the Turks really sent troops to Jingzhou, and they came over the mountains, and the garrison of Jingzhou City was empty at this time, and it seemed that the city was about to be broken.

The Manchu civil and military forces were in an uproar again.

"Your Majesty, the Turkic wolf is ambitious, and Gao Changguo is treacherous!"

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is still in Jingzhou City, what should I do, what should I do if His Royal Highness the crown prince is caught!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is far-sighted and has the demeanor of a general, but this move is too risky, I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can leave Jingzhou City before the battle begins!"

"General Cheng has already gone to Jingzhou City, maybe he can reach Jingzhou one step ahead of the Turks!"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be able to return safely!"

Another day passed, and the secret report was belated, and the strange bees outside Jingzhou City blew themselves up and killed 10,000 Turks!

The Manchu Dynasty was stunned.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Jingzhou City may not be invaded by the Turks, these are all made up by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a hurry for success!"

"The minister thinks that this strange bee has never been seen before, maybe this matter is really a lie made up by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for merit!"

"What kind of character is His Royal Highness the Prince, I thought that His Majesty would not know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely not be able to do such a thing!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be able to do it, and the one who follows him is called Satisfactory is not certain!"

"Your Majesty is aware of it, and the minister is willing to believe the secret report of His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Another day later, the secret report came again, and the cavalry of the Turks was in front of Jingzhou City, which was in danger.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this secret report is fake, and the Turks have not sent troops to Jingzhou City at all!"

"Yes, even if the Turks send troops to Jingzhou and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summon that strange wasp to blow him up, 100,000 Turkic soldiers will be wiped out in an instant!"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would swear to defend Jingzhou City, then he will definitely defend the city, and now the most important thing is whether General Cheng has arrived!"

"Your Majesty, don't listen to these sour nonsense, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Jingzhou City are in danger, this matter should be taken seriously!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister heard that His Royal Highness the King of Shu has recently lobbied the squires and rich people outside the city, asking them to distribute grain to the people, and it has been quite effective, so you might as well invite him to the early court to discuss it."

This time, two days later, the secret report arrived in Chang'an City, Jingzhou City was defended, the Turkic army fled in a hurry, and Cheng Yanjin had arrived to clean up the city.

This time is not only the prince's secret report, Cheng Yanjin's secret report is also among them, Cheng Yanjin wrote in great detail, and even ordered someone to bring back a letter, the content of the letter is the number of more than 100 people alive, I hope that people in Chang'an can go to the military department to find the booklet of the soldiers of the East Palace, compare and record, and give the list of dead soldiers to the crown princess, so that she can find someone to send pensions to the families of these people.
