Chapter 26: The Fruits of Hard Work
Today's Wangbei is surging with a sea of joy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The soldiers who have been fighting from the north for more than five years, drenched in the rain of begonia flowers sprinkled on the moon city, passed through the north gate of Wangbei City, and returned to their hometown in the cheers and tears of the people of Wangbei.
The Liang Wangjun and the Tiger Ben Army won a complete victory on both fronts, almost forcing Xingjun's overall forces back for nearly a thousand miles. A series of battles with Xingjun in the past few years, at this time, finally came to an end temporarily.
At present, the Tie clan has gathered the remnants of other tribes on the battlefield in the middle of the Jinhe River in the west, and the Tie clan's main force, the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry, all of them to the capital of Xingjun - Jinshan City.
With the exception of the vast Aono Plain, which controlled most of the vast area outside Geumsan Castle, Xingjun ceded a vast area from west to east. However, this does not mean that the fighting is over. In the eyes of the discerning people, Xingjun just withdrew his fist and wanted to fight again, without much difficulty.
For Xingjun's Beiyan Iron Cavalry, with the help of the wind with iron burning thorns, what is the difference between a hundred miles, a thousand miles, and three thousand miles?
It's been five years, five years, though.
People have heard too much about the soldiers who have stepped into the field, young and old, and have never returned, or even have no bones left. A heart-warming scene like Wangbei today, but it has not been seen for too long.
Either way, it is best to wait for the safe return of fathers, sons, husbands, and brothers, and to spend their days and years of anticipation in the hearts of those who spend their days and years of anticipation.
Even if this may not be the end of the war, it is good for them as it stands......
Compared to those who have already lost their loved ones and are now silently weeping at home, burning incense and remembering bitterly, they are already too lucky and lucky.
......
"Liang Qianhe deserves to be Liang Qianhe, no matter what kind of situation it is, it can reveal magic. A person who doesn't know how to practice is like this...... Powerful. ”
At the top of the tower, among the layers of halberd-wielding armor, one of them said so. He was dressed in heavy armor with dark fish scales, draped in a cyan skush, and his hands were resting on the heavy sword that stood upright on the ground.
Xiao Nuoxing.
As the lord of Wangbei City, he naturally had to be present on this important occasion.
"City Lord Mingjian, before, the battle situation in the middle of the Pinjin River had already become a pot of porridge. The two sides kept reviewing and constantly messing up again. As soon as King Liang arrived, we were forced to find the flaws in Xingjun first! I watched the battle report of the day, and I was already convinced. The king of the town army, worthy of his name. ”
On the side behind Xiao Nuoxing, a man who looked like a scribe praised.
"I have a lot of doubts. ”
Xiao Nuoxing looked at the cheerful crowd below, but his eyes were full of indifference.
"After this victory, Liang Qianhe has already launched a safe passage to the east among the six tribes allied with the Tie Clan......"
After the scribe was stunned for a moment, he also nodded and said: "City Lord, I have also carefully deduced before, if King Liang does not order the withdrawal of the army, but really leads the army eastward and joins General Fang Shuo's Tiger Army...... With King Liang's chest, there is a great possibility that he will achieve a decisive victory in the Qingye Plain!"
"But he withdrew his troops......"
Xiao Nuoxing looked at the scribe and narrowed his eyes.
"yes...... King Liang's intentions, how can I guess it? However, it was always a ...... for the soldiers to return to their villages."
The scribe was saying this, but when he looked up, he saw Xiao Nuoxing's eyes staring coldly, his body trembled suddenly, and he suddenly realized.
With his mind spinning rapidly, the scribe thought of the wording and said cautiously: "The original intention of the city lord is to see ...... The former, right?"
"Zeng Rui, you have followed me for twenty years...... Xiao Nuoxing said slowly, "I started with you as a junior official and have come to this point, what do you rely on?"
Looking at Zeng Rui, who gradually had sweat on his forehead, Xiao Nuoxing said again: "This fierce battle, before and after, our army and Xingjun were on both sides of the Pinjin River, tossing back and forth for a year. How many men and horses have I sent from Wangbei?"
"There are more than 80,000 in total, and more than 200,000 people have been mobilized. The lord of the city has worked hard to save all these powers, and they have been slowly accumulating in the past ten years......" replied the scribe reverently.
"Yes, I saved it!"
Xiao Nuoxing's tone gradually became heavier, "In one year, I have transferred a total of five million stone grains in one year, and the forty granaries in Wangbei are all empty! Twenty-four thousand people have been killed in battle, and half of the 130,000 war horses and mules have died! Not counting the loss of other medicines, ordnance, etc., I have already exhausted the vitality of Wangbei......"
"This ......," the scribe hurriedly wiped his sweat and said, "The city lord has worked hard for the Xingjun war, and it is a ...... that we all see."
"Exhausted...... Scold. Xiao Nuoxing smiled coldly, "Zeng Rui, I'm working hard." But what do you get?"
"This ......" Zeng Rui hesitated.
"I look north, I have exhausted my troops and horses, and I have sent the newly completed students of Huolin Academy and most of the personal soldiers around me to the battlefield. But in the end, this mess ...... I still need King Liang to clean it up! A lot of the hard work I have done is in the eyes of the king of Fengyuan City...... Can you see it?"
The scribe Khan was raining down, and he could no longer speak.
Xiao Nuoxing turned around and patted Zeng Rui's shoulder, "The king can't see ......"
"If you can't take advantage of the victory and completely defeat Xingjun, in the current war situation, the king can only see the exploits of King Liang...... Perhaps, the king will send me some kindness and give me a reward that will have no effect in the future...... I vomited blood to get this, you say, is it enough?"
Ignoring the trembling scribes, he picked up his heavy sword and walked down the wall.
"Of course, not enough. ”
......
Looking north to the west of the city, outside the city gate, there were several long queues of people who wanted to enter the city.
A young man with a hat and a young man full of heroic spirit were moving their feet forward with the procession.
"They have all gone through the West Gate, and there are still so many people...... "The young man said with a little distress.
"It's already good, if the army of Dongzhou is still playing with Xingjun, we will have to be blocked outside the checkpoint on the other side of the Blue River now. The young man smiled as he picked up his hat.
"Yu Xin, you use this word well!" the young man raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Haha, play house...... Yes, yes, that's right!"
He waved his hand and said arrogantly: "It's all a bunch of stupid people, what kind of Liang King, Wind Demon and the like, fight hard!
Yu Xin was helpless on the side, narrowed his eyes and stretched out his hand to his mouth, "Nine knives, be quiet......"
The young man's neck was crossed, "I'm quiet enough, okay!"
The guys in front turned their heads ferociously.
"Hey, you little red guy, why are you talking nonsense here! When you enter the city, you say this again, be careful of being beaten and crying and go home to find your father!"
"Huh~" The young man widened his eyes and rolled up his sleeves.
"Yu Xin, don't stop me! You guys, draw a line, I'm going to ask you to recognize your father!"
Yu Xin looked bitter, and held him down with all his hands and feet, "You can stop for a while......
Then, he bowed down and hugged his fists at the few people in front of him, and said with a smile: "Brothers, don't be angry, Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wuji......"
Seeing that Yu Xin was still reasonable, after the few people glared at the young man called Jiudao a few times, they didn't say anything more and continued to walk forward.
"Nine knives......" Yu Xin sighed, "Tell me about you, you have caused trouble all the way after you have walked all the way! Let the prince know that you must not be hung up and beaten?"
"I don't care. The boy waved his hand.
After a while, he put his hand on his chin and thought, "But it hurts a little......
"Hahaha!" Yu Xin cheered.
"When we see him, don't sue!"
"Naturally not! Our friendship is as strong as steel!" Yu Xin looked at Jiudao with a caring smile.
"Hahaha!" Nine Knives laughed.
"But I'll tell you the truth...... Nine Blades, if the prince takes the initiative to ask, I will say everything. ”
"Huh?!"
"Hahaha!" Yu Xin cheered.
Jiudao pursed his lips and nodded at him, "Brother, you don't pay attention to it......"
Yu Xin spread his hands and made a helpless expression, "Now it's what the prince said! How can I disobey the order, right?"
"Okay, good, hello......" Jiudao pointed at him, making a threatening gesture, "When I say the final word, I will settle accounts with you again!
"Hehe, I'm afraid that when the time comes, you won't be able to bear it. Yu Xin turned the hat with his hand and smiled.
"Hmph, Uncle Ben has always been convinced by virtue, and he is worthy of his word!"
"Yes, yes, when the prince sees that you have achieved such an achievement after two years of training abroad, he will be very pleased......"
"Hey, I'm finally in the city gate, Yu Xin...... Shall we go find some wine to drink?"
"The prince will definitely add another stick to your head......"
"Hey, Yu Xin...... You see, the bricks of this city are much better than the bricks fired in our earth-breaking kiln. In a few years, let's bring some people over and move around?"
"Who's going to pay for it?"
"My father. ”
"Who's going to pay for the car?"
"My father. ”
"Who can drive the road here from thousands of miles away, and then call a man and a car to pull the bricks over?"
"My father. ”
"Master, it's under the bow. ”
......
"Huh! Yu Xin...... Look here, look here!"
"What's wrong again?"
Nine knives pointed at him, "Look here, there are still people carving words in the city gate!"
He stared at the brick, argued carefully, and read word by word:
"Watch me cut you down...... Hahaha! Who carved this? so ugly!"
Yu Xin also glanced at it.
Suddenly, he stood still for a moment, and the corner of his eye flashed!
"Nine knives, look carefully, this person is a ...... who has practiced knives"
"Oh?"
Nine knives raised eyebrows, and then fixed their eyes to take a closer look.
Slowly, a smile of surprise appeared on his face.
"Knife intent!"
"And...... It still feels a little familiar. ”
Then, Nine Blades shook his head with disgust.
"However, his knife technique is too bad......"
