Chapter 26: Hard Stubble
"Can the death penalty be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped?"
As if he had heard a joke, Xiang Ju'an couldn't help but sneer, slowly moved in front of Guan Jiyu, and said, "Why do you think that I will exempt him from the death penalty?" ”
He said this without haste or impatience, but it revealed a majesty that could not be offended.
Obviously, Guan Jiyu's words in a hurry provoked his authority that held the power of life and death!
Guan Jiyu was speechless, pursed his lips, and couldn't say a word.
She was too anxious to say what was in her heart without thinking, at this moment she was shocked and regretful, she didn't dare to look directly at Xiang Ju'an's sharp eyes, she was really remorseful in her heart, obviously she just wanted Jiang Yingnian to go, but she inadvertently seemed to really anger Xiang Ju'an.
Xiang Ju'an's words fell lightly from the top of her head, and smashed on her heart word by word: "The mistakes he made, a small life is not enough to kill." ”
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water, pouring down from the top of her head, making her cold.
Guan Jiyu's mind was blank, she looked at Helan beside her, he also looked helpless, and could only cast helpless eyes at her.
She could only kneel silently and make a final request: "My subordinates don't dare to defend themselves, and they don't dare to expect you to spare him and let him go, but I beg you to give him a chance to make up ......for his mistakes."
Jiang Yingnian was kicked by Xiang Ju'an one after another, and his heart was not happy, but seeing Xiang Ju'an's unrelenting and self-respecting appearance at this time, his heart was even more angry.
Guan Jiyu knelt on the ground and pleaded with him, he didn't have an attitude for a long time, isn't this insulting? Jiang Yingnian finally couldn't help but break out.
He endured the pain and got up from the ground, and was about to pull Guan Jiyu up, saying: "Don't beg him, he really wants me to die, no matter how you kneel to him, he won't let me go." He grabbed Guan Jiyu's arm and continued: "Let's go, I don't believe it, can't you kill the Lone Army if you are not in his army?" Anyway, we have already reached the northern border area, and he doesn't look down on us, so we will kill all the way by ourselves, and kill a few count! ”
Jiang Yingnian's face was full of stubbornness, and he clearly had an attitude that he didn't want to do it, and he loved whoever he loved.
"Enough trouble!" Guan Jiyu shook off his hand fiercely, glared at him angrily, and said, "What kind of place do you think this is?!" This is not Nanqin, this is not the place where you are willful. ”
Xiang Ju'an watched Jiang Yingnian's series of actions coldly, clapped his hands, and said, "What an unruly son of a family, has he played in front of me?" She's right, what kind of place are you? ”
"If you want to go, then you can't leave until I overnod." Xiang Ju'an was born tall, although he looked at each other at the level of Jiang Yingnian, but his figure was much more burly than Jiang Yingnian.
Crush everyone in terms of momentum.
He grabbed Jiang Yingnian's collar, looked him into his eyes and said coldly: "Before I nod, you don't want to leave here half a step, otherwise I will kill you now." ”
Jiang Yingnian was not afraid of his threat, stared straight into his eyes, and said, "Anyway, you were going to kill me, didn't you?" Is there a difference between killing now and waiting to kill? ”
The cold sweat on Guan Jiyu's head flowed, she was so helpless that she thought to herself, thinking that this person was really afraid that her life would be long, for fear that she would not be able to provoke Xiang Ju'an? This blatant provocation is clearly looking for death!
Xiang Ju'an has been fighting horses for half his life, what kind of soldier has he never seen?
But it's the first time he's seen a hard stubble like Jiang Yingnian!
Xiang Ju'an, who was still full of anger just now, only had playfulness left on his face at the moment, and he began to take interest in the presumptuous and unruly young man in front of him.
Interestingly, there is no fierce horse in this world that he can't tame.
This wild horse in front of him, who has just arrived and is trying to challenge his authority, must give some color to see!
"Get out of the way to the main city of Zeyun Pass!" Xiang Ju'an sat back on his chair and said, "Since you are not used to staying in front of the battle, then go back to guard the city gate." ”
"How's that going to work?" Jiang Yingnian habitually wanted to talk back again, and when he saw Guan Jiyu turn around with an expression of wanting to eat him, he shut up.
Xiang Ju'an's words mean sparing his life, when the hussar general gives him face, he has to accept it when he sees it, otherwise he will be shameless.
"Subordinates obey."
Jiang Yingnian was reluctant to clench her fists and had to respond first.
For all military affairs in the army, Xiang Ju'an knows everything.
He has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, and he has long practiced the ability to strategize, even if he is often angry, it is the inaction of the people below that makes him unhappy.
As for the judgment of the situation on the battlefield, when to defend and when to attack, he naturally has already been confident.
This new group of young people, he used it very easily, just the people of the vanguard team, in just seven days, the original free range of activities of the lonely army was forced back dozens of miles!
Almost every day, he could receive the good news from the front, Chen Zhang couldn't hide his joy, and said to Xiang Ju'an: "General, if we can work harder, the tip of our knife can reach the Yanjiang promenade!" ”
The Yanjiang Promenade is located between the country of Guyi and the country of Heli in the west, for many years people have not had an accurate definition of this place, the Yanjiang promenade is more like a three-way intersection in the topography, two short and one long three route directions just point to the country of Guyi, the country of Helu and the current Xuli Dynasty.
It has never been clearly divided into the territory of any one nation, but it has been forcibly possessed by the lonely people who love to plunder.
The Yanjiang promenade is like a piece of fragrant bread, and the three countries surrounding it, no matter which side occupies this place, can have the most superior border defense periphery overnight, and can probe the military vision to the depths.
It's just that the Xuli Dynasty is the farthest away, and there is almost no energy to stretch out its hand so far in these years, and the Heeliu Kingdom has not participated in the war for decades, and the successive monarchs of Heeliu seem to advocate "fighting far away and enjoying peace", not clashing with neighboring countries, not having disputes over interests, trying their best to improve the relationship between countries, and protecting the peaceful life of the people of Heeliu.
The meaning of Chen Zhang's words, Xiang Ju'an didn't understand.
In the past, the front line had never been stretched so far, and most of the meaning of the DPRK and China was to defend and expel foreign enemies from harassment, rather than wasting troops to capture any territory.
With Xiang Ju'an's heart, it is not that he did not think about attacking the Yanjiang Corridor. However, there are often too many opposing voices in the court, when the first emperor was there, he rejected his request to capture the Yanjiang promenade, and later after Emperor Shu succeeded to the throne, although he did not explicitly veto this proposition, but also had a vague attitude, and was reluctant to allocate troops to help the border pass.
Xiang Ju'an sometimes felt that he had more than enough heart and insufficient strength, but after all, he was a courtier and had to be appointed by the king of a country, and over time, this matter was put on hold.
He would never have thought that the Yanjiang Corridor, which was regarded as a delusion in the past, was now close in front of him!
This group of people from the family camp is simply a surprise gift from God!
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, Xiang Ju'an only gave them a chance to experience, and did not keep an eye on them, who would have thought that they would go forward bravely and fight so far in just seven days.
Yanjiang Promenade......
Yanjiang promenade!
Xiang Ju'an has always sought stability, but at this moment, this huge temptation is in front of him, and he has to face it. He admitted this temptation and succeeded in shaking his heart that had been obedient to the court for many years.
Xiang Ju'an was not disloyal, he just wanted to sit more dignified in this position.
Anyway, since Emperor Shu succeeded to the throne, he has never made it clear that he can't capture the Yanjiang Corridor, right?
Xiang Ju'an felt like a gambler at the moment, and he decided to make a desperate bet and put all his chips on the Yanjiang promenade.
He has never been a border general who is only content to be guarded, which is not good. He Xiang Ju'an is an upright wolf clan in the north, he has his ambitions, he wants to be a veritable hussar general, and fight for more territory for this Xuli Dynasty.
The Yanjiang Promenade is not anyone's territory, the lonely country can occupy it, everyone can occupy it, why can't he take it?
The Chinese military ministers of the dynasty, including Emperor Shu, were almost afraid and unwilling to give him support, so he would rely on himself!
This is not aggression, this is fighting.
Thinking of this, Xiang Ju Anxin already had a plan.
"Pass the order, early tomorrow morning, the whole army will attack and capture the Yanjiang Corridor!"
Since Jiang Yingnian was reprimanded by Xiang Ju'an and returned to Zhiyun Pass to guard the gate, the affairs of the front line have nothing to do with him.
Guan Jiyu and Helan Yan's team walked all the way to the forefront and bravely resisted the enemy's pursuit, and with the cooperation of the second team of archers, they drove the Lone Shan army to almost their own territory. For so many days, Jiang Yingnian has not heard much of these good news.
He was itching, and couldn't help but sigh that if he hadn't willfully disobeyed military orders without consideration, then he must have been in these comforting battles now!
The job of guarding the gate is really not something he can do, boring, like a door god, no! It's like a stump at all, and Jiang Yingnian is about to go crazy.
Before dawn, Jiang Yingnian came to the city gate as usual to change shifts, just after guarding the time without a stick of incense, he heard the footsteps of the soldiers in the city neatly, Xiang Ju'an walked at the front of the team, wearing a golden beast iron armor, wearing a dark pigment pattern robe, with a red velvet flying belt hanging from it, holding the frost knife that he almost never left in his hand, and riding his unique mount - Ba Hu.
It was like a whole army dispatching in formation.
When Xiang Ju'an passed by the city gate, he saw Jiang Yingnian who was on duty, he pulled the reins in his hand, and Ba Hu immediately stopped.
He didn't even look at Jiang Yingnian, and only asked, "How are you guarding the door?" Isn't it much more comfortable than in front of the battle? ”
Jiang Yingnian told truthfully: "It's not as comfortable as before the battle, and the muscles and bones in my body have not had a chance to open these days, and I am uncomfortable to death." ”
Xiang Ju'an sneered and said, "If you still want to be comfortable, hurry up and get a horse for yourself to catch up!" ”
Jiang Yingnian was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted to Xiang Ju'an's meaning.
It seems that his anger has almost disappeared.
"Huh! Here it is! Jiang Yingnian was overjoyed and hurriedly ran to the main city.
He ran back to his lodgings to get his bow, and then hurried to the stables in search of his horses.
The horse he rode in battle before had been ridden away by Qu Yin, and the soldiers of the whole army had already picked up the good horses in the stable. Jiang Yingnian looked at the stable, not to mention a good horse, it was almost his turn to choose, and at this time there was only one horse left in it that no one wanted.
"Good brother, it seems that the two of us have similar experiences, and we are both annoying masters." Jiang Yingnian stroked his horse's mane and sighed: "But it doesn't matter, we will let them know soon, what is meant by strength not being exposed!" ”
