Chapter 214: Controversy
In the northern camp, the second elder of the Fang family accompanied Liu Zhengqi to inspect the front line, the situation was not optimistic at this time, Tu'er Hong in front was entangled step by step, and the news from the rear made them even more anxious.
The avenues leading to Wolong City were all sealed, and the Huns paused for a moment after capturing the Beijing Division, and led 30,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the Beijing Division.
Hami personally mobilized an army of 100,000 people, led by the Eagle Eagle, and continuously approached the northern camp.
Most of the nearby towns centered on Jingshi wisely chose to surrender after Hami Thorn put forward the slogan that those who surrender will not be killed. There were occasional sporadic rebels, and under the thunderous suppression of the Huns, no climate could be formed at all.
The Huns had strict military orders, and they did not commit any offense against the surrenderers, but the slightest resistance was immediately the disaster of annihilation, so that in January, they occupied a large area of Han land almost bloodlessly.
And the Tuerhong Department in front of them was not idle, they changed their previous forbearance and retreat, and took the initiative to send troops to provoke every day. These steppe peoples, who are only the Huns, are not under the soldiers of the Pegasus Legion in terms of personal bravery, but they lack experience in large-scale battles.
It's just that with the addition of Tuerhong and his Pegasus Army, the situation has changed greatly, and with 150,000 to 100,000, the two sides have become a stalemate.
However, everyone knows that once the 100,000 golden wolf army of the Eagle arrives, it will be the time for the Huns to launch a general attack.
The Northern Army, by this point, has been isolated and helpless.
The mountains are exhausted, but that's all.
"Commander Xu is here."
One of the sentries suddenly shouted loudly.
The entire barracks suddenly exploded like boiling water.
When Xu Haifeng sent the Xiongnu, he visited the northern camp for the second time, he was kind and kind, but he had no general's frame, and he won the favor of the sergeants. The sentry naturally recognized this great commander Xu who used to be known as the great commander of the Xiongnu.
Countless voices were transmitted in the battalion, and Xu Haifeng's arrival greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers.
"The wind is coming." Fang Lingde said with relief.
Liu Zhengqi had mixed feelings in his heart, he glanced at Zhang Zihua behind him, the latter had a gloomy face and a frown.
"Your Highness, the old minister is out of company." Fang Lingde saluted and walked away quickly.
Although Emperor Han Xian died, the jade seal of the country was forcibly robbed by Cheng Xuanfeng, and at this time it was a crisis, Liu Zhengqi naturally could not ascend the throne, and Fang Lingde is still commensurate with His Royal Highness.
Xu Haifeng once said to Liu Zhengqi before Cheng Xuanfeng fought alone in Beijing, and he had nothing to do with the Liu family in the future.
A moment later, Xu Haifeng came to the Shuai tent under the leadership of Fang Lingde, and Liu Zhengqi and the others had been waiting here for a long time.
"I've seen Your Highness." Xu Haifeng arched his hand lightly, as if the person in front of him was not the prince of the Han Dynasty, but an ordinary person.
Liu Zhengqi smiled reluctantly and said, "Grandmaster Xu is coming from afar, please take a seat." ”
Xu Haifeng nodded slightly and sat down swaggeringly. Seeing that he didn't take Liu Zhengqi in his eyes like this, everyone couldn't help but beat the drum in their hearts. Lin Yixing and Lu Yangming, who were behind him, glanced at each other, and they were even more puzzled.
The old offerant Gao Chengwei frowned slightly, and was about to scold, but he remembered that Xu Haifeng was now a grandmaster, and he was afraid that it would not be his turn to make irresponsible remarks. He closed his mouth and pretended not to see.
"Feng'er, where are you from, Ming'er's injury is okay, right?" Fang Lingde asked.
Xu Haifeng changed his smile and replied respectfully: "Big brother is fine, this little injury has long been healed, please rest assured." ”
Seeing his very different attitudes towards the two, Liu Zhengqi had an evil fire in his heart. But he has suffered a great change, and the city is deep, and it has never been shown on his face at this moment. Just sit silently, just do not know.
Xu Haifeng faced Fang Lingchen and asked bluntly, "Third uncle, what is the situation now?" ”
"Not good." Fang Lingchen sighed: "There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, and the situation is critical. ”
"How much grain and grass is left in the army?" Xu Haifeng was already a veteran of the battlefield at this time, so he naturally knew what grain and grass represented.
Fang Lingchen shook his head and stretched out a finger.
Since the Huns blocked the northern road, the northern Xinjiang camp has never received any supplies, and there is still a month's surplus of food, which is left from between his teeth by Fang Lingchen.
"So, Third Uncle, do you think you can still hold it?"
Fang Lingchen was silent, but his answer was already well known to everyone.
"Third uncle, there is such a sentence in the military book given to you by Jiang Dajunshi, do you remember?" Xu Haifeng asked softly.
"What?"
"If people lose land, people and land will survive; If the land is lost, the people and the land are lost. Xu Haifeng is authentic word by word.
All the people in the tent changed color.
Xu Haifeng's voice was low, but there was a kind of power that made people obey: "Third uncle, I'm leaving." ”
"Let's go?" Fang Lingchen smiled bitterly: "Where can we go?" ”
"Where, it's better than sitting back and waiting." Xu Haifeng said calmly.
"Feng'er, where did you say you were going?" Fang Lingde's eyes turned around on Liu Zhengqi, and he turned around and asked.
"If the two uncles don't give up, the gate of Wolong City will always be open for the Northern Legion." Xu Haifeng said solemnly.
"Is it for the two generals?" A gloomy and stiff voice came to mind in the corner, it was the one-armed Zhang Zihua.
Xu Haifeng's eyes were condensed, and the powerful momentum instantly filled the entire handsome tent, and everyone felt it, and everyone was terrified. It's just that although Zhang Zihua's face is pale, there is still incomparable stubbornness and persistence in his eyes.
Slowly dissipating the momentum, Xu Haifeng said lightly: "Wolong City will naturally accommodate the displaced people who have left their hometowns. ”
Liu Zhengzhong was furious, he actually wanted Liu Zhengqi to give up the status of the prince and take refuge under Xu Haifeng's wing as an ordinary person.
"Commander Xu, when the first emperor was alive, he served you well, and it was a rare grace to be among the generals, why once the first emperor passed away, you left all this behind, do you have to be an ungrateful person?" Liu Zhengzhong strode out and asked sharply.
"General Liu, in the past, you were also present in the Battle of Lin'an, right?" Xu Haifeng looked at him without wavering, and he didn't take his words to heart at all.
Liu Zhengzhong said loudly: "Yes, at that time, the old man was serving the side of the first emperor, and he saw the loyalty and courage of the Black Flag Army, but after a few years of absence, it is not what it used to be." ”
"Really?" Xu Haifeng sneered slightly: "May I ask the general, in the battle of Lin'an, how was Xu's meritorious service?" What about the reward? If it weren't for Brother Fang's begging for me, would he end up with nothing? ”
Liu Zhengzhong was suddenly speechless, his face turned red, and it took a long time to relieve, and said: "Even if the emperor is slightly negligent for a while, as a courtier, I can't hold a grudge." What's more, the first emperor Shengming will never serve the general. ”
"Okay......" Xu Haifeng closed his eyes, and his tone became more and more flat: "Then may I ask the general, how should Xu deal with himself now." ”
Liu Zhengzhong's face tightened, and he said solemnly: "If General Xu is loyal, he should escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to break out of the encirclement, contact people with lofty ideals in the world, expel the Tartars, eradicate the internal annihilation, and return my great man to Lang." ”
"Haha......" Xu Haifeng laughed a few times and said loudly: "As the so-called lesson from the past and the teacher of the future, Xu doesn't want to be the second Dong Zirui." ”
"You ......" Liu Zhengqi rose up angrily and glared at Xu Haifeng.
Xu Haifeng confronted him coldly, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Wind." Fang Lingde walked between the two of them, covering each other's sight, he sighed deeply, and said, "Don't forget, in the past, my family is also one of the masterminds." ”
Xu Haifeng frowned slightly, and only said after a while: "Second uncle, third uncle, my aunt is very worried about the two of you in Wolong City, this is the matter, why don't you go to Wolong City with me." ”
Fang Lingde shook his head and said, "The old man is entrusted by the eldest brother to take care of His Highness's safety, so he can't go for the time being." ”
"Second uncle, there is still Brother Zhi waiting in Wolong City, don't you want to see him?"
Fang Lingde's expression moved, but he immediately regained his composure: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, he is in Wolong City, and the old man is very relieved." ”
Xu Haifeng turned his head to look at Fang Lingchen, only to see that his face was also gloomy, and he immediately knew his intentions. He pondered for a while, and finally got up, walked in front of Liu Zhengqi, bent down and saluted, and said, "Minister Xu Haifeng respectfully asks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to move to Wolong City." ”
The gratitude in the eyes of the two elders of the Fang family flashed, and they all knew that Xu Haifeng bowed his head to Liu Zhengqi at this time, all because of his two brothers.
Liu Zhengzhong breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, Xu Haifeng was willing to give in and finally gave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a chance to step down.
Only Zhang Zihua looked at Xu Haifeng, with a faint trace of fear in his eyes. Just now, he unexpectedly caught a faint trace of murderous aura from the latter's eyes. Although it was only a momentary flash, it was so real that he shuddered, and his forehead was immediately covered with fine cold sweat.
"Where is Brother Xu, Li Zhi has been waiting for a long time."
Everyone was shocked at the same time, and suddenly thought of the purpose of Xu Haifeng's trip, and couldn't help but show a worried look.
Xu Haifeng smiled and said, "That kid is in a hurry, and he won't even give me the effort to rest." He turned his head and said to the second elder of the other family: "Second uncle, third uncle, without further ado, you can decide quickly, and the little nephew will take the first step." ”
After speaking, he turned and walked away in a dashing manner, as if waiting for him was an old friend who had not seen him in many ways.
Fang Lingde suddenly said in a loud voice: "Feng'er, I wish you a victory." ”
The voice came from afar, and I don't know if Xu Haifeng could hear it clearly.
"Second uncle, third uncle, thirty miles to the northwest, there is a nephew in front of the horse slope, if the situation is a crisis, you can go."
This is what Xu Haifeng said with the skill of transmitting sound into the secret, among the handsome tents, only the two of them can hear it, the two elders of the Fang family looked at each other, and they couldn't imagine that he even took this into account.
Lu and Lin followed behind, but Xu Haifeng suddenly stopped and turned to the two of them with a deep look. They were taken aback and avoided the salute in unison.
"The two seniors, Xu has something to trust each other."
"Sect Master Xu, please speak."
"Commander, Tuerhong's department has moved again." A herald hurried into the tent and said.
The eyes of the two elders of the Fang family were full of anger, and they didn't say a word and strode away.
When everyone came out, Zhang Zihua, who fell at the end, grabbed the corner of His Royal Highness the Prince's clothes, and gently instructed: "Xu Haifeng has moved to kill, Wolong City is the place of right and wrong, and you can't go." ”
Liu Zhengqi's face turned pale and asked, "Then where to go?" ”
"Out to sea, Kirin Legion."
