Chapter 583: Zhuoyu (Summoning a Monthly Pass)
"In addition, the two of you will go your separate ways, with the west gate of the city as the central line, and each patrol on one side......" I explained everything in detail.
"Don't worry, general, we will retreat with all our bodies." Xue Rengui made a guarantee, which made me relieved, I don't want these young celebrities to die in this kind of ghost place, Datang still needs them to open up the territory.
"Brother Su, you and I are on top of this city tower, waiting for the enemy's news." I grabbed Su Dingfang's big hand, looked at this famous general and laughed.
Everything is arranged, and the rest is to sit and wait, however, what makes us happy is that today we can finally have a good meal, the porridge mixed with minced meat in the vegetable foam and a large noodle cake will be served, and the stomach will be round, Su Dingfang patted his belly and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Damn, even if Quangai Suwen is here this time, Lao Su will not get up, just lie here and wait for the food, it has been many days, and he finally caught a full meal." ”
"General Su, let the people outside listen to this, and you can't laugh off your big teeth, who makes you lack concentration, seasickness can be dizzy like that, it's strange that you can eat something." Su Dingfang was thick-skinned, deaf to my cynicism, patted his belly and hummed happily, he didn't have time to pay attention to this kind of shameless person who was willing to degenerate, wiped his mouth, took my treasure knife, walked out of the city gate, and looked at the city. By the way, condolences to the soldiers, as for the morale, there is no need to motivate, anyway, one by two seized the capital of Goguryeo, but they have not even seen the bloody soldiers, and the ruffians are excited to rush out of the city to copy the back road of Quangai Suwen and kill it. In this case, no matter how encouraging it is, it will be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
Walked back and forth around the mile-long city wall, and rode a BMW to various important strongholds in the city to check it, as well as the waterway in the south of the city I also carefully observed, and looked, Liu Renliang was personally on duty, sending not five, but ten warships to patrol here in turn, which made me feel a lot more relieved, and said hello to Liu Renliang who was standing on the battleship, and slowly yawned back to the city gate building in Xicheng, looked up at the sky, it was close to the time, and there was still half the night, Let's take it slowly. At this time, Su Dingfang was already lying on his back and falling asleep soundly, this guy is more busy than me, I told two loyal servants to take turns to be on duty beside me, if there is something, wake me up immediately. We'll have to take a nap, too.
---------------------------------------------------- Ke slept for less than an hour before he was woken up by Fang Cheng. "Hurry up, my lord, General Pei is back."
Half-asleep, I suddenly stood up with a snort, and Su Dingfang, who was still asleep over there, also jumped up, and asked loudly and loudly: "General Pei, Pei Xingjian is back?" ”
"Open the city gate, let General Pei in, go quickly!" I rubbed my eyes and lifted my spirits. Together with Su Dingfang, he greeted the city, and after a while, Pei Xingjian, with an excited expression, had already rushed to meet him: "The last general is here to pay the order." ”
"It's good to be back, how's that? How's it going? I helped him by the hand, and went back to the city gate together, and then turned around and told the soldiers to get some hot food to fill their stomachs and rest.
Pei Xingjian first took the water handed by Su Dingfang and poured a mouthful of Fang said to himself: "This time, we have a lot of merit, we are waiting in a place twenty miles away from the city, and we met the army of Goguryeo, the number is no less than 30,000, according to my observation, it should be the elite of Goguryeo, the whole army is silent, and it is slowly moving towards us." ”
"It seems that Quan Gai Suwen is afraid that he is going to fight ruthlessly, but what I am worried about is that their army is more than 30,000." I paced in the room, Pei Xingjian only cares about the area north of the city gate, since there are 30,000 troops here, then, in the south, there will be at least 20,000 people, even if Gaiquan Suwen is stupid, it is impossible to think that he will not attack by the waterway, however, there is no news about Xue Rengui so far, which really makes me very worried.
Su Dingfang heard me say this, and his expression became gloomy, Xue Rengui, although he looks very calm on the surface, but his actual surname is a little arrogant, well, this is not a compliment or belittlement, but a fact. Now what I'm worried about is that if this guy's brain collapses, his head is hot, and he screams and rushes into the army of Goguryeo to the south to kill back and forth, it's good that he can succeed, but if something happens, then the responsibility will fall on my head. Besides, Uncle Li also mentioned to me in private that Xue Rengui has a proud bone in his heart, he has made great achievements and made a name for himself, so he has to polish it well, otherwise, it will be difficult to use it.
"Why don't I go?" Su Dingfang also couldn't sit still, stood up and said to me, Xue Rengui is also an iron buddy with us, and it is not a matter of leaving him alone outside and there has been no news so far, just when I was about to nod and agree, Fang Cheng ran in again: "Childe, the person is back, General Xue is back, and he also captured a Goguryeo man." ”
"What?!" My face is green,! I'm afraid this guy is about the same as I imagined. "How many people came back with him?" I asked. Fang Cheng tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "There are only sixty people, and there are no subordinates to count them." ”
"That means that there are dozens of fewer soldiers in my Tang Dynasty, and I have added dead souls for nothing!" There was no hint of joy on my face, and my face darkened: "Let's go, let's go and see." ”
Pei Xingjian on the side saw that my face was wrong, a little inexplicable, but Su Dingfang might be similar to what I thought, and he also walked down the city tower with his old face and behind my buttocks, sure enough, Xue Rengui's robe was stained with dots of blood, although there was not much change in his expression, but it could be seen from his excited eyes that he was playing very comfortably this time.
But behind him, only a little more than half of the hundred elite horsemen who came back with him remained. I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart, I wanted to slap it over, I thought about it for a long time before I could hold back my anger, many soldiers were still injured, although one or two expressions were excited and excited, but this made me feel even more sad, the thirty or so students who were still alive were gone, this is a seedling, these are the backbone of the army I have cultivated for the future of Datang!
"General, the last general came to pay the order, we caught a live mouth of the Goguryeo people, I'm afraid that the official is not small......" Xue Rengui didn't finish speaking, I nodded expressionlessly: "Hold the people first." Pei Xingjian, you go to interrogate, and General Xue will come with me. ”
Xue Rengui looked incomprehensible, and after returning to the city gate building and sitting on the couch, I glanced at Su Dingfang, forget it, let me be the wicked.
---------------------------------------------------- "Xue Rengui, you repeat the order that the official ordered you!" I looked directly at Xue Rengui and said coldly.
Xue Rengui couldn't help but be stunned: "My lord instructed me and General Pei to investigate the twenty miles west of the city, and if there is an enemy attacking, report ......back immediately" Xue Rengui's voice suddenly became much smaller, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"Then Ben will ask you, but you are acting according to the plan?!"
Xue Rengui opened his mouth to speak, and saw my face as cold as frost, and retracted when the words came to his mouth, but his expression seemed to be dissatisfied with my merit, but was treated with a cold face.
"Let me ask you again, when you went out, how many of my Datang Military Academy students did you bring, and now that you come back, how many are left?" I was furious in my heart, if it weren't for the love of Zhuyue, I would probably have scolded, I turned my back and stopped looking at him, and asked softly.
Xue Rengui froze for a moment, glanced at my silhouette, and then he realized what he had done, and stood up suddenly, clasped his fists and bowed his hands, with a look of shame: "The last general led a hundred people, and those who returned to the camp are only more than sixty, Master!" It is the students who are arrogant and arrogant, and the students ......"
I sighed and waved my hand to signal him to get up: "Your ability, I know better than anyone else, you are a good student, a good seedling, in the future, your achievements, polish more, I am afraid that it is no less than the famous generals of the dynasty, but it is a little self-sufficient." To put it more ugly, it's called hubris! You don't have to nod, I know that your Xue family is a family of famous generals, and you have the ambition to revive your family, which is good, but you have to remember one thing, caring for your subordinates, and being good at accepting other people's ideas and advice, can make you go further on this road......"
I said a lot of things in a deep voice, and although there was a gun and a stick in the words, I was 100% for his good. It can be seen from the way he looked ashamed and listened to the training, he accepted my opinion, Xue Rengui is older than me, but, I am in the academy, I am his teacher, on the battlefield, I am his superior, he is even more raised by me, it can be said that without me, maybe sooner or later his beautiful jade will burst into brilliant light, but who knows when?
