Chapter Forty-Seven: Born at the Wrong Time
The woods on Tongma Cliff were dense, Qin Zong and others nested in the branches, waiting for no one to come, and waiting for the right not to hear the sound of horses' hooves. People are grass, horses are bits, mosquitoes are buzzing, and their faces are full of small red envelopes.
Suddenly, the scout reported: "General, General Tong is running alone, and there is no trace of the enemy." ”
Qin Zong chewed on the thick and juicy leaves, watched Tong Meng run to the cliff and shouted: "General, please go and chase the cobalt seal quickly!" He refused to come to Tongmaya with me, but turned his horse's head and went straight to Miganling, which is a three-mile road to Miganling! Ask the general to go down from the back hill and get a little closer. Beware of an ambush over there as well. ”
The birds in the mountains were all startled, and another scout shouted: "General, Sen Tejing is chasing General Cao!" It's only two miles away! ”
Qin Zong immediately said: "Everyone is not allowed to move, bow on the string, the knife is out of the sheath, just wait to let General Cao go and shoot Sen Tejing in one fell swoop!" General Tong, please take refuge in the mountains for the time being. ”
Cao Qingyun turned around and stabbed a shot while running, and the gun went straight to the point, but he was dodged by Centejing. Seeing that he was about to reach Tongma Cliff, Sen Tejing laughed wildly on the horse: "Cao Qingyun, there is no way to live in the future, there is Sen Tejing in the future, and the name of General Erjiu should be dead now!" ”
Cao Qingyun didn't answer, but rode his horse forward, and the tip of the spear made eye-catching marks on the sandy land.
Tongma Cliff is surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is only one entrance, the mountain is high and the trees are deep, Sen Tejing watched Cao Qingyun turn over and fall off the horse and flash into the woods, before he could laugh at him, the sky was full of arrows and rain and shot straight at him. There were two more arrow feathers on his right arm at once, and when the spear was raised, his wrist hurt, and an arrow in the front came to shoot him directly under the horse, and the red blood flowed out instantly, and the yellow sand became black sand from a distance.
Tong Meng poked his head out and was full of praise: "Good archery!" What kind of bow did General Qin use? ”
Qin Zong slowly led the horse down the trail and said: "That's my credit, this is General Cao's exhaustion of his physical strength, and the soldiers shot him wounded, so that I can make him shoot through the heart with an arrow." I think the cobalt seal is going to move the rescuers, I'll wait to carry Sen Tejing's head and kill their sharpness! ”
As soon as the words fell, the shouts in front shook the sky, and the scout reported: "General, half a mile ahead, the Yuezhi army is coming, and the soldiers and horses are innumerable in the winding mountain road." ”
Cao Qingyun smiled: "Why not repeat the old tricks? ”
Qin Zong said: "With this intention, the army retreated to the valley and continued to squat!" ”
The crowd either flashed into the mountain path or crouched in the grass, waiting for the army to flash out in front of them.
Both sides here are sure to win, but the next moon branch of the city is losing and retreating. Xie Songzhao and Guihong went back and forth in the army, like entering a no-man's land. Ruan Zeyi is a real scholar, and he has no power to restrain the chicken. Although Xie Songzhao is not proficient in martial arts, he is full of tricks, although he cannot be compared with Lin Huchen Jiangning's generation, but he is far superior to ordinary people.
Ruan Zeyi saw that he was unable to support it, so he had to lead the army back into the camp, no matter how Xie Songzhao called for the battle, but he hung up the exemption card, and it was none of his business.
Yin Xianglan said: "Master Hou, you can order someone to get fire on the arrow and shoot it into the Yuezhi camp." It's just that in this way, it is difficult to control the Yuezhi army's turmoil and fleeing. ”
Xie Songzhao said: "It's okay, release the rocket first, and then surrender, and if you don't surrender, you will be killed on the spot." ”
Yin Xianglan looked at the little soldier who was shrinking under his banner on the opposite side and said, "Good." ”
Ruan Zeyi paced back and forth in the tent, irritable, who would have thought of such a bad way to become a teacher, the loss of troops would be small, and his own life would not be guaranteed...... That's it! After thinking about it, the ambush soldiers on Miganling should have something to gain, and hurriedly recruited the small soldiers and said, "Is there good news from Miganling?" ”
The little soldier shook his head vigorously and said, "No, no! If you have subordinates, you will definitely report to you as soon as possible. ”
Ruan Zeyi let go of the collar of the little soldier, turned his head and sighed: "I was born at the wrong time." If you were born in a prosperous age, why not! In the end, he gritted his teeth, and he didn't know who he hated.
Wen Huai bandaged the wound on his arm, lifted the curtain and came in: "Joining the army, there are constant calls outside the camp, why don't you fight?" ”
Ruan Zeyi pointed at him irritably and scolded: "Tremble, tremble! One day to know the battle! No Tricks! Who is in the city who is making suggestions, where is Qin Zong, I don't know anything now! Cente Jing and Cobalt Knot Seal are also outside and haven't come back! And that Se Jianhe knew all day long, but he was so happy that he wanted to go to Miganling to set up an ambush, and he didn't ask people to send a message back if he succeeded or failed, what a group of wine bags and rice bags! ”
Wen Huai lowered his head and didn't dare to squeak, after listening to him scold, he just wanted to say something, but the soldiers rushed in and shouted: "They set fire to the camp!" ”
Ruan Zeyi overturned the case and rushed down, clasped the shoulders of the little soldier and said, "Who burned the camp?!" Yes! ”
"It's the Watta Army that shot stray arrows, and it's full of fire!" The little soldier said with a crying tone.
Wen Huai opened the curtain and saw that the camp in front of him was full of fire, and there was no living water here, so it was a fool's dream to extinguish the fire. Ruan Zeyi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, pushed the little soldier aside, and shouted: "Use sand to fight the fire!" No water! A bunch of idiots! ”
When the fire was soaring, Xie Songzhao shouted through the gate of the camp: "The soldiers of the Yuezhi are willing to surrender at this time, so they will not hurt a single soldier, if they resist stubbornly, they will not blame the ruthlessness of the swords of my Great Zhou soldiers!" ”
The fire was urgent, no one paid attention to him, Xie Song patted his horse and swayed left and right in front of the camp, and kept shouting: "What you are sitting in the camp is just the meticulous work of my Great Zhou, do you still expect him to help you seize the country of my Great Zhou?" Don't you believe it? Look, since I shouted to him in front of the battle, can you still be invincible? ”
Some soldiers began to stop their movements and stared at Ruan Zeyi vigilantly, Ruan Zeyi was so angry that he turned around and drew his sword, and shouted from Xie Songzhao across the camp gate: "Who are you?" How dare you bewitch the public with such a gossip! Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and this time and that time are different. You have slandered me as a fine worker! Child, your milk stinks and doesn't dry! Have you forgotten why I was expelled from Yandu? You are hypocrites! ”
Xie Songzhao said: "Good you Ruan Zhixian!" Let you be fine, I didn't expect you to taste the sweetness and want to be the king of yourself! Dare to lead troops to attack, do you know that you can't learn at home, and get a big axe in front of Luban! Since you are from Yandu, I am the son of the original Marquis of Zhengxi, and I am now the Marquis of Zhengxi! Why don't you know me? Claiming that I am a scholar?! ”
Ruan Zeyi muttered to himself, "Xie Heng's son...... Xie Songzhao?! ”
Xie Songzhao pointed at Ruan Zeyi with a horsewhip and said, "Ruan Zhixian, how do you want to be round?!" ”
Ruan Zeyi roared: "Don't talk nonsense! In the first year of Chengde, you were raised by Xie Heng in the mansion, how could we know each other?! ”
Xie Song smiled and said, "Ruan Zeyi! How could I slander you with red lips and white teeth! At the Qionglin banquet in the first year of Chengde, I handed you flowers! ”
"Master Hou, I'm back in the city. Sejanh returned with the remnants. The generals are catching up. Mrs. Yin said to let them go back. ”
When everyone returned to the city, Yin Xianglan had already prepared a banquet and rewarded the three armies.
Tong Meng said: "Mrs. Yin, why don't you beat the water dogs?" ”
Yin Xianglan said with a smile: "Lord Hou's shouting in the city is something that Ruan Zeyi can't argue, it will be difficult to win a fierce one, but it will be easy to win the crowd." This time it's up to Sejan to do what he does. The generals, the concubines, wanted to sew back Sentejing's head for him, and then hang it on the city wall to weathered his corpse. ”
Cao Qingyun said: "It's all up to Mrs. to decide, I'm a rough person, I have no objection." ”
Tong Meng bit the flesh and said, "Wouldn't it be too ruthless?" As far as I know, in the past 10 years of warfare, there has not been a ...... of weathering the corpses of enemy generals."
Cao Qingyun said: "That's because you are lonely and unheard, a few days ago, Nanjun hung one, Li Wucian of Chen State." ”
Tong Meng swallowed the fat and said, "That'...... Then according to what Madame said, I am also a rough man, and I am from the same school as him, the same. ”
The crowd laughed again.
Yin Xianglan said: "You don't have to worry about it in the past two days, let's also learn from Zhuge Kongming and wait for an east wind." ”
Yandu, Jingning Hou Mansion.
Marquis Jingning's wife Xia Ning slapped the table angrily: "He has a good future, why do you want to transfer him back to Yandu to be a civil official?!" Wouldn't it be good to let us Shen Yu be the Lady of Destiny in the future? ”
Jingning Hou Yu Luonian said: "Mrs. Fate? A bright future? Madame! It's been too long since you've fought with the goblins in Yandu, and you've forgotten what Yandu is like, right? ”
Xia Ning said: "Why don't I know? But now it's different! The Marquis of the West has been conquered for a thousand years, Xie Shizi is a civil official again, and Chengjue can't lead troops! Haonan was ordered by the prince to guard the northern frontier and make meritorious contributions, you have to stop this, I don't understand! ”
Yu Luonian sighed: "This ...... Alas...... Madam, since ancient times, the emperor has been so affectionate, today he can transfer Xie Hao to the north of Xinjiang, and someone will replace him in the future! The royal family will never let the Xie family send another expedition to the West, even if he is a rare general! Haven't you seen it for so many years? ”
Xia Ning was slightly startled and said, "Haonan, he will definitely come back?" Even if you don't do it? ”
Yu Luonian bowed his head and said, "It will definitely be." And ah, Shen Yu, it's good that she is married closer, I can go to her birthday every year, and if she is wronged, I can still carry a stick to the door to support her. If it's far away...... I can't get enough of it. ”
Xia Ning said: "I also feel sorry for her, but I think she can have a fate...... Alas! I thought that the prince would leave him in northern Xinjiang if he wanted the support of the military......"
Yu Luonian said: "This attention will not belong to the prince, the prince has always been benevolent, and the art of checks and balances will be much gentler, which is quite ......"
Xia Ning suddenly got up and said, "You are not allowed to make a move!" You know? If you make a move, if Haonan thinks that it was you who caused him to become a civil official, then how will the two of them live in the future? ”
Yu Luonian smiled bitterly: "Madam, I'm afraid this can't be as you wish." This idea should be Yin Beichen, sharp and straight to the point, this is Yang Mou. I have to come forward to let Xie Haonan return to Yandu to take office, what is the reason? Isn't it that I am reluctant to marry my daughter far away from Northern Xinjiang? If the name of the prince's benevolence is preserved, Yin Beichen will only force me to come forward......"
Xia Ning vomited and said: "It's not as good as he wants!" ”
Yu Luonian said: "For the sake of Linjian and our family, we must let Haonan return to Yandu." Madam, this matter must not be explained to Shen Yu, she has always been thoughtful, and it may be difficult for the two of them to live in peace after knowing it. ”
