Chapter 65 See you again
Jiang Zhen began to train the army in the early morning, and the method that Bai Xiaofu came up with Jiang Zhen came back and discussed it with Zhou Weiyang, Zhou Weiyang's reaction was more excited than Jiang Zhen, this can be regarded as opening a new chapter in the art of war, because time is running out, this work is also handed over to Jiang Zhen for intensive training. Jiang Zhen's return this time is good news, and Zhou Weiyang is here to bring bad news. This time, the Huns will form an alliance with the tribe of your and join forces to attack Daqi, so that although the number of soldiers they can gather is not as large as that of Daqi, they can also compete with Daqi, and this time Daqi will divide soldiers to protect the safety of the two princes, and their chances of victory will be greater. Therefore, this battle is not something that can be solved casually, and it needs to be deployed more carefully.
In the past few days, Jiang Zhen's mind has been on Bai Xiaofu, and the rest of his time has been spent on training the army and deploying the battle situation. If this battle is a head-to-head confrontation between the Hun soldiers and the Great Qi army, then the result is self-evident, and the Great Qi army will achieve the final victory. Therefore, if the Xiongnu want to win this time, they will have to take some unusual paths, disrupt the internal order of the Great Qi army or shake the morale of the army, and at that time their side will be forced to become a passive side.
Jiang Zhen has been training the soldiers with a high spirit since the morning, during this time the soldiers have become accustomed to their wise and powerful generals, smiling and urging them to train in the morning, and then waiting for the letter they were waiting for came, he hurriedly threw them off and left, and then came back triumphantly, always with a smirk. Let them be envious and helpless.
But today's behavior seems to be different, since the sun just crossed the horizon, Jiang Zhen smiled stupidly and waited for Bai Xiaofu's reply, but now the sun is three poles, the big sun hangs overhead, the sun is direct, people can't open their eyes, and the blazing sun shines on people's bodies, making people feel bored. Jiang Zhen's face also became more and more dull as time passed. It made the soldiers standing in front of him feel that getting close to Jiang Zhen seemed to be cooler.
didn't wait for Bai Xiaofu's reply, this was not a good sign for Jiang Zhen, and the various situations in his heart were about to drive him crazy.
Did Bai Xiaofu do something? Why don't you reply to yourself, according to Bai Xiaofu's character, even if something happens, as long as you can reply to yourself, Bai Xiaofu will not write to yourself. Jiang Zhen paced back and forth, completely forgetting that it was time for the soldiers to rest.
At this time, Jiang Zhen's expectation was accompanied by the chirping of an eagle, and he also fell to the ground steadily. Jiang Zhen couldn't wait to untie the note tied to the eagle's talon, and no longer shied away from reading it in front of everyone.
This is all the soldiers, but they feel secretly relieved, and feel that Jiang Zhen should be happy this time.
Jiang Zhen opened the note, this time Bai Xiaofu wrote more words, but Jiang Zhen was not happy at all, and was even full of unknown doubts.
The note reads:
Jiang Xiao has arrived, and we met yesterday. Trust me to do whatever I do for your own good, even if it's not entirely good.
Although Jiang Zhen was confused after reading it, he clearly felt worried and uneasy, and even fearful.
This time, Jiang Zhen did not show his happiness and pride after receiving the letter, but still frowned and looked anxious. At this time, many soldiers were excited, and they felt that their little general's relatives were going to be yellow, and they couldn't help but show a sympathetic look when they looked at Jiang Zhen.
Time passed little by little, Jiang Zhen could only wait anxiously, now it is impossible to have time to go to Bai Xiaofu to ask clearly, Bai Xiaofu has always had one thing to say, never beat around the bush with himself, only this time he didn't say anything, what happened so that Bai Xiaofu couldn't say it directly to himself. Obviously, they are all in such a close relationship now, isn't it obvious that they are not obvious enough, they like Bai Xiaofu and trust Bai Xiaofu completely, no matter what Bai Xiaofu does, he believes it and is understandable. Could it be that Bai Xiaofu still has anything that doesn't trust him?
From noon to evening, Jiang Zhen was in a worried and sad mood, and it was only in the evening that the city gate was opened, and a pair of mighty teams shining with holy light appeared in everyone's field of vision. All the soldiers looked at the people on the horses with expectant eyes, that was a position they could never reach, for such a gap between heaven and earth, they no longer had the feeling of envy, just blindly worshipped, looked up.
After six years, Jiang Zhen saw the people he was familiar with again, I don't know what the reason is, the hatred and hostility in his heart are a little less, he just looked at the two distinguished people in front of him indifferently, and the eagerness and indignation in his heart have softened one by one with the past six years. Of course, there is still an attachment to that position in my heart, but it dilutes my impulsive and impetuous heart.
The crown prince Jiang Yao and the second prince Jiang Xiao, who were sitting on the tall horse, seemed to have changed nothing in the past six years, although they were also left no traces on their faces, they were still at that heroic age, and they were still the same high and invincible. And the former four princes have now become unshaven, and even if they throw themselves into a group of rural villagers, they can't see any difference.
When the horse team reached this group of scumbag soldiers, they stopped, and Zhou Weiyang, who was a general, hurriedly greeted him and said, "Weichen see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Second Prince." The sound was like a bell, and everyone knelt down with Zhou Weiyang's kneeling.
After the mood calmed down, some false etiquette became less important, because he was already confident, even if he bent his spine for a while, he was just lying down and waiting for the moment when the sword was unsheathed.
Jiang Zhen's back was bent, his knees fell heavily on this side of the land, and he knelt down on one knee, like an ordinary soldier to meet the scrutiny of the high rulers.
The crown prince Jiang Yao's face showed a very proud expression, and his eyes were full of greedy desire, this was everything he wanted, and all the courtiers bowed their heads and subordinated, and their eyebrows were lowered and obedient under their wings.
"All the soldiers are exempt from courtesy, you are all meritorious servants of my Great Qi Dynasty, and when you are displayed and evaluated, you will only get the merits and rewards you deserve when you return to Beijing in triumph."
Turning over and dismounting neatly, Jiang Yao reached out and helped up the old general Zhou who was kneeling on the ground, and everyone also stood up with this help, of course, Jiang Zhen also stood up.
Jiang Yao looked at Jiang Zhen with some mockery in his eyes, this morning he sent someone to find out, Jiang Zhen, who has become a second-grade general in only these six years, seems to be his good second brother, which is very unfavorable to himself, so this person must be eliminated, even if he can fight the general, he can't resist the hidden arrows on the battlefield.
Looking at Jiang Zhen with an indifferent face, Jiang Yao even felt a sense of pleasure that he could destroy Jiang Xiao's beloved things with his own hands.
"You're Whitetown." Jiang Yao looked this burly black-faced man up and down, with a hint of determination and banter in his tone.
"Yes." Not a word, no more, no less, but the answer was sonorous and powerful.
Facing Bai Zhen's calm and calm expression, Jiang Yao unintentionally wanted to dodge, obviously a black and thin man but with a pair of terrifying eyes, which were the eyes exercised on the battlefield, killing, life and death were completely ignored, indifferent but majestic, indifferent but ruthless. This is a field that Jiang Yao, who has been staying in the palace all year round to carry out various conspiracies and calculations, and the faint Jiang Yao actually subconsciously retreated, this is not a place he can master, and it may not be as smooth as he imagined.
Jiang Yao's face stiffened for a moment, and then eased up, and he couldn't help but feel angry and resentful towards Bai Zhen.
Jiang Xiao, who was standing behind Jiang Yao, walked to Jiang Zhen's side very kindly, with a humble and gentle smile, and said: "The name of General Bai in the old days, when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation, and it was worthy of being a young general who swept the battlefield on the battlefield. ”
Jiang Zhen looked at Jiang Xiao, who was smiling in front of him, and his worry about Bai Xiaofu was a little heavier, and his anxious mood made him want to pull Jiang Xiaofu's collar and ask clearly, what did this person do to Bai Xiaofu, and why Bai Xiaofu became abnormal. But it can't now, so Jiang Zhen had to suppress the worry in his heart, and bowed slightly to Jiang Xiao and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Royal Highness." ”
There was no flattery, and Jiang Zhen only did his duty as a subordinate to the two princes in front of him.
Jiang Xiao hooked his lips and smiled, as if he was very satisfied with the results he saw. Several people hugged each other and came to the barracks.
When they came to the barracks, several people greeted each other again, even if they had their own thoughts, they also looked at the harmony of the monarch and the ministers. After the greetings, we started talking about political affairs.
Although Zhou Weiyang did not show anything on the surface, he was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and now that he was free, he opened his mouth to mention the war, for fear that these pampered princes would not be able to stand the rush of the journey, and put forward a reasonable request to postpone the war.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, although the war is strong against us now, but the war has not had a result for a day, and the emperor will not be happy for a day, so it is better to settle the war as soon as possible."
Prince Jiang Yao actually thinks the same way, this place doesn't feel so good to himself, he just came to earn a meritorious service, when he arrives, the merit he deserves is added to himself, and now it is naturally better to leave. It's just that he still wanted to woo Bai Zhen before, but now that he knows that he is Jiang Xiao's person, he naturally wants to take the opportunity to get rid of this big trouble, otherwise it will not be so easy to return to the capital and want to eradicate it quietly.
Thinking of Jiang Yao, he smiled and said to Zhou Weiyang: "Lone and Old General Zhou have the same idea, of course, my father ordered me to come to supervise the end of the war as soon as possible, and the war in the past six years is also a big stone on my father and Gu, and now that the war has an eyebrow, my father attaches great importance to it, and he specially ordered Gu to supervise the progress of the war, which cannot be delayed or sloppy." ”
Jiang Yao's words didn't make people feel funny, and he ignored Jiang Xiao, who was sitting under him, and then looked at the second prince as if he hadn't heard it at all, with a shallow smile on his face, and he showed an elegant gentleman in his gestures.
The corners of his smiling lips lightly opened: "Indeed, as the eldest brother said, it is better to end the war earlier, and now is not the time to relax." ”
Jiang Yao looked at Jiang Zhen, who was sitting at the bottom of his hand, and said: "General Bai, General Bai's prestige is now in the capital, and it is spreading loudly, and everyone knows it, I don't know if General Bai is also a pioneer general this time, so that Gu can also see the strength of the general." ”
