Chapter 42 The Three Princes Arrived
Jiang Zhen looked at General Zhou like this, and did not salute General Zhou again, Yin Yan saw that this situation was inappropriate, so he kept glancing at Jiang Zhen. Jiang Zhen also seemed to not see Yin Yan's eyes, straightened his waist and stood without saying a word. However, General Zhou now has these other thoughts in his heart, so he didn't notice Jiang Zhen's inappropriate behavior.
Old General Zhou raised his hand and patted Jiang Zhen's shoulder to relieve the inexplicable emotions in his heart, and said, "Zhuangshi, on behalf of the people of Daqi, I would like to express my gratitude to the strongman. ”
Jiang Zhen didn't stay so cold all the time, and said to General Zhou: "General Zhou, the grass people just did their part, and they can't stand this praise." After speaking, thinking about it, General Zhou arched his hand.
General Zhou was very satisfied with Jiang Zhen's behavior and conversation when he relaxed, and said to Jiang Zhen: "The old man just appreciates talents like Bai Zhuangshi, and it is good to ask Bai Zhuangshi to be the deputy general of the team from now on." ”
General Zhou's words were not small, everyone heard them, and at this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Zhen. The third prince Jiang Jie gritted his teeth secretly on the side, the arrival of his incomparably noble prince now seems to be less valuable than a dirty country villager, and this time he only took on a small position of grain and grass escort, but now this white town is more popular.
General Zhou didn't notice Jiang Jie's emotions, and he was very displeased with the behavior of the three princes who had to follow this expedition, and he wasted a lot of time on the way because he wanted to satisfy the vanity of the three princes. He was already concerned about the war, and in the end, he was worn out by the third prince and lost his temper at all.
General Zhou said to Jiang Zhen again: "I will report to Shengshangru at any time on the merits of the strong man at the border pass, and I believe that the military order of the strong man as the deputy general will not change." ”
At this time, Jiang Jie couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and stepped forward and said to General Zhou: "General Zhou, this prince came to the border pass so that the people of this pass can live a comfortable life. ”
Old General Zhou frowned, thinking about how to refuse, now the war is not optimistic, if he brings this third prince again, not to mention anything else, at least he will arrange a team of the most elite soldiers to protect this third prince. After all, this is the prince, and although he has tens of millions of dislikes and dissatisfactions, he can't show it.
"The Three Princes, you can come to support these soldiers the most, these soldiers all remember the good of the Three Princes in their hearts, the Three Princes on the battlefield or don't go, the battlefield is silent, in case the Three Princes are injured, we will all feel guilty for not protecting the Three Princes."
Jiang Jie sneered in his heart, thinking that the old fox was blocking himself and not allowing himself to make meritorious contributions, and this old fox didn't know that it was someone from the same line among his brothers, and if he dared to stop me, I wouldn't let you succeed.
On his face, he said sincerely: "General Zhou, where is this saying, the country is in trouble and the husband is responsible." As he spoke, he quietly glanced at Jiang Zhen who was standing on the side.
"What's more, it's the prince Lone, and Lone should also take on his share of responsibility. Old General Zhou still fulfilled Lone's mind. Besides, Lone's mother is also a secretary of the Ministry of War, and Lone has been strictly taught martial arts and the art of war since he was a child, and he has also been taught by the master in these aspects. As he spoke, he arched his hand towards General Zhou.
Being bowed by the prince is not something that General Zhou can afford, he is not the prince's teacher, he can't accept the prince's courtesy, but this is not something he can control, Jiang Jie has to force him like this, he can only compromise: "The third prince is like this, I will report to the emperor that the three princes are going to go with the army, and it is not too late for the emperor to allow the three princes to go on the expedition with the army." After speaking, without waiting for the third prince to refuse, he bowed to the third prince and left in a hurry.
Old General Zhou can't do this, but he also knows that the current saint may not let his son go out with the army, not to mention the danger of this expedition, but depending on which prince the superior attaches the most importance to now, he can also know that the emperor will not give his son, who has his own small calculations and added a lot of blockages to himself before leaving, a chance. However, even if the emperor gave him a chance, the war would not be as urgent as it is now, and he would definitely be able to send someone to protect the three princes.
Seeing the back of General Zhou leaving in a hurry, Jiang Jie was angry in the back, and he was about to lose control of his expression: Wait, the old immortal, Lone will impress you.
The battle was not delayed by the arrival of reinforcements, and three days later the enemy launched a new attack. This time, the enemy wants to eradicate them in one fell swoop, after all, it is indeed a bit aggrieved that they can't overcome it when they have always been in an advantageous situation. This time, the enemy was fully dispatched, and the Xiongnu's general Wumu Chaha also went out in person, which was bound to exterminate the remnants of the Great Qi army, but what he didn't expect was that when he had been hesitating, the reinforcements of the Great Qi had already arrived.
In the past three days, Jiang Jie would walk around the barracks every day wearing the prince's clothes, and personally taught the soldiers how to train, showing the approachable side of the superior. When the enemy army attacked that day, Jiang Jie was also guiding this team of elite soldiers to train as usual. These elite soldiers are the most elite in this team, most of them have experienced the baptism of the battlefield, whether it is combat experience or physical fitness, they are first-class, that needs Jiang Jie's teaching, but General Zhou Lao sees that Jiang Jie is not tired of this, and he is also happy to be idle, anyway, these soldiers under his command will not let Jiang Jie teach badly, Jiang Jie will teach him if he wants to.
The soldiers patrolling the city wall stood on the city wall and shouted down: "Report to General Zhou, the enemy army is coming." ”
"How many?"
"Five thousand cavalry and twenty thousand infantry."
"All the soldiers obeyed the order and prepared to go out of the city to meet the battle."
The shout of "yes" shook the sky, indicating the menacing and confident nature of this war.
Although the document to make Jiang Zhen a deputy general has not yet come down, Jiang Zhen has assumed the responsibilities of the deputy general in advance. Jiang Zhen rode his horse and followed behind General Zhou and Yin Yan, and walked out of the city gate with great momentum.
The other 8,000 cavalry also followed the three out of the city gate, but one of the cavalry was blocked by the third prince Jiang Jie, Jiang Jie took away the cavalry's war horse, raised his leg and jumped on the war horse and followed everyone out of the city.
The confrontation between the two armies goes without saying that their behavior in terms of momentum is magnificent. A gust of wind swept the yellow sand towards the two armies, but when it approached the ranks of the two armies, it automatically gave way to the way, reducing its strength, and finally only the wind blew through the empty area left between the two armies. The yellow sand covered the sky, and the howling wind still could not stop the arrogance and morale of the two armies.
When Wu Mu Chaha saw Old General Zhou, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "Old General Zhou hasn't seen you for a long time, your old man still remembers my dead brother, he was killed by you with your own hands." But this is not the case, and I, Ebony Chahad, will take your head in memory of my dead brother and our dead warrior. ”
As soon as General Zhou was about to answer Wumu Chaha's words, he saw Wumu Chaha look at his rear with a sarcastic and calculating smile. General Zhou frowned and looked at the rear, and saw Jiang Jie wearing a gorgeous costume and riding a horse towards him, the golden Huang Zihua dress made Jiang Jie extremely noble, and also made Jiang Jie very conspicuous in the crowd.
General Zhou Lao saw this situation and heard a "bang" in his heart, and he was completely planted on the ground, and it was too late for General Zhou to withdraw his troops now, but he didn't want to take Jiang Jie with him this time, Jiang Jie came out privately, so he didn't arrange anyone to protect Jiang Jie now. Besides, this Wumu tribesman is already brave and good at fighting, and he can only be equal to the strength of the other party when he brings out all the soldiers this time, and the chance of winning is only fifty percent, but now there is a big accident of Jiang Jie, and now he is not even sure of the fifty percent chance of winning. Even if General Zhou is heartbroken now, there is no way out now, so he has to face the current situation calmly.
When Jiang Zhen saw that the person who came was Jiang Jie, his brows furrowed deeply, and he slandered Jiang Jie as a stupid pig in his heart. Jiang Jie is indeed very burly, and his martial arts have been practiced since he was a child, but this person is arrogant, complacent, self-righteous, and knows that the warriors who taught him respect him, and the one who dares to really train Jiang Jie as an ordinary person. Jiang Jie is a person who is jealous of his ability, the reason why he has been able to practice martial arts for so many years depends on the continuous boasting of others, the emperor's appreciation, and the queen mother's boasting, these are the driving forces for him to move forward, but in the face of the real cruel battlefield, his shortcomings will be exposed, and all the swords on the battlefield will not be child's play in training, and no one will not attack you if you are the prince, and even because you are the prince, the enemy will want to take your life even more. Jiang Zhen looked at Jiang Jie's stupid appearance and really didn't want to admit that he had the same blood as them.
Jiang Jiece immediately stepped forward and unceremoniously occupied the position where the main general was to stay. He took out his arrogant momentum and said to Wumu Chaha: "Thief, do you know who Lone is?" You thief dare to invade my Daqi, I really don't know whether to live or die, look at how I lead our Daqi"
Wumu Chaha laughed when he heard Jiang Jie's words, "I have long heard that the noble body of the third prince loves Aimin and personally escorts the wolf grass to the border pass, and it is also my luck to see it today." After saying that, he laughed happily. The other generals who followed Umu Chaha also laughed.
