Chapter 81: Be Your God
After the army of King Qi arrived in Guanzhong, he fought several battles with the rebels of Zhang Sha, each with its own victory or defeat.
However, the Hu people of the Di nationality have lived in Guanzhong for a long time, and they know the local terrain well, and there is an endless supply of grain, grass and military materials.
Later, Xie Zhao, the general of Zhenxi, arrived with the emperor's order, which caused the king of Qi to be uneven, and the two did not listen to each other, and they were even drilled by Zhang Sha.
King Qi was repeatedly defeated, and in a fit of rage, he forcibly ordered Xie Zhao to beat him with twenty military sticks, Xie Zhao was already wounded in battle, and then he lay directly on the sickbed and could not fight.
Although the main control of the war fell into the hands of the king of Qi again, the king of Qi was not a good general after all, and in the face of the brave and good Zhang Sha, he had to lead the army to flee.
Xiao Qingyan rushed to Guanzhong day and night, contacted his second brother Xiao Qingyu, and after learning about these military information, he gave Xiao Qingyu a suggestion.
"Second brother, the king of Qi wants to escape back to Qi County, this matter is a foregone conclusion, but you can't retreat, good generals are born in troubled times, you are a natural general, King Qi left this mess in Guanzhong, it is a good opportunity for you to become famous in a fight, good wind with strength, second brother, you should take advantage of the situation to soar and earn the benefits of military power for our Xiao family, as the foundation of gaining a foothold in Jiangnan."
The two met in an inn in the town, Xiao Qingyu put down the teacup and got up, wandering and pacing in the house, ape arms and bee waists, and every step of his heroic posture made people feel the vigorous strength in him.
Xiao Qingyan knew from a long time ago that this second brother would become the most powerful backbone of the Xiao family. In troubled times, military power is important.
Xiao Qingyu suddenly turned around: "Jiulang, I coincide with your thoughts, I also want to stay and fight with Zhang Sha, but I didn't have command right before, and I can't call the shots on the battlefield, and the King of Qi will not leave the army to me after that, I only have five hundred private soldiers in my hands, no soldiers and horses, no grain and grass, how can I fight this battle?" ”
Even if he left behind with his five hundred private soldiers without authorization, and could go back alive in the future, the King of Qi would no longer be able to tolerate him.
"Second brother, let me ask you, are you sure that you will win the battle with Zhang Sha?"
Xiao Qingyu stroked the newly emerging cyan stubble on his chin and said: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is no such thing as winning a war with troops, but I have been pondering for the past few days, unless God really favors Zhang Sha and suddenly a surprise soldier from the sky helps him, otherwise if I am the leader of the troops, within seven battles, I will let him fart with his tail between his legs!" ”
Xiao Qingyan smiled, the self-confidence and boldness of this military person made her feel very kind.
"Second brother, I don't know if the sky will help Zhang Sha, but this time, I want to be your day." Arrogant and conceited.
Xiao Qingyu smiled dumbly: "You? To be my day? ”
He disagreed.
Xiao Qingyan raised her eyebrows, her second brother was too precocious, in his twenties, his sons were ten years old, and she knew that in the eyes of his second brother, she was almost a child.
She lowered her eyes and turned the cup, and said leisurely: "Second brother, if you ask to see King Qi in private, you will say that Yang Xun is unpopular in the court, King Zhao is dominant, and King Qi is the only hope for the Kuang Fu Jin family.
"But if you are allowed to stay and try, if you lose, everyone will understand that the king of Qi has done his best to quell the rebellion, and will not blame him, if he really wins, the prestige of the king of Qi is great, and he can take advantage of the situation to convene the state capitals, enter Luojing in the name of King Qin, kill Yang Xun, and capture the king of Zhao."
Xiao Qingyu couldn't help sweating on his back, his handsome face was flushed, even he heard these words, how could a person like King Qi who was so happy be indifferent?
"But......" Xiao Qingyu was still worried, "The reason why King Qi retreated in a hurry was because he wanted to stop the loss in time and preserve his strength, and he would not be willing to leave the army to me." ”
The black jade wrench in Xiao Qingyan's hand gently tapped the rim of the cup, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
"Second brother, do you dare to make a military order against the king?"
Xiao Qingyu raised his sword eyebrows lightly: "What do you say?" ”
Xiao Qingyan smiled lightly on his lips, dangerous and confusing: "Please allow the King of Qi to allow you to stay and fight with Zhang Sha, if you lose, you will be responsible for the military expenses you will spend." ”
"What?" Xiao Qingyu twisted his eyebrows, "Jiulang, do you know how much military money is spent on this?" ”
Even if you sell him, you can't make it up.
Xiao Qingyan raised his chin to look at him: "Didn't the second brother say that Zhang Sha's fart will be allowed to flow within the seven battles?" ”
"I ......" Xiao Qingyu said in a loud voice, "Jiulang, you don't know the King of Qi, I'm afraid that once I open this mouth, even if I win, I still have to pay for this military expense." ”
Xiao Qingyan's rich eyelashes drooped, and his eyes were slightly cold: "Second brother, my uncle and grandfather died under Zhang Shachao's saber, and the Xiao family's wealth was also looted, so this account can't be just settled." ”
"......" Xiao Qingyu scratched his eyebrows and feet, his deep eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean, let Zhang Sha bear it for me?" ”
Xiao Qingyan smiled but did not speak.
Two days later.
Xiao Qingyan led his horse and stood on the mountain, watching King Qi lead his troops to leave.
Nie Yao was also a person from the army, and at a glance, he roughly estimated that the King of Qi took about 10,000 soldiers and horses with him.
Qian Fengxi said: "The second son has become?" ”
The king of Qi brought 100,000 soldiers and horses, and after several defeats, he lost 30,000 percent, and now he took 10,000, and what he could leave for Xiao Qingyu was 60,000, and Zhang Sha had 80,000 soldiers.
Since the second brother swears that he has enough self-confidence, Xiao Qingyan doesn't need to worry about how he fights, just ......
She looked at the big tent of the military camp that was still in place, and there was a clear boundary in the middle of the tent, with King Qi's army on one side and Xie Zhao's on the other.
If the second brother can obey Xie Zhao's orders and the two armies work together, the Zhang Sha Rebellion will soon be quelled, but most of the final credit will be attributed to Xie Zhao, because Xie Zhao leads the imperial order of the imperial court.
The second brother is not only busy in vain, but also makes King Qi's hopes disappointed, and King Qi will never spare the second brother.
Xie Zhao has been saying that he is sick and does not move after being beaten with a military stick, and the Xie family ...... You also want to take advantage of the situation, right?
……
"The fourth uncle is seriously injured so much, I'm afraid I can't lead the troops anymore."
In the handsome tent, Xie Xingzhi looked at Xie Zhao lying on the couch with a smile.
Xie Zhao was sweating profusely, his lips trembled, and his voice was empty: "You, what did you use for me?" ”
He was beaten by the twenty military sticks of the King of Qi, and he deliberately took advantage of the situation, but before Xie Xingzhi came, he had already raised a lot better, but as soon as Xie Xingzhi came, he gave him some kind of ghost medicine with care, and he began to have a hot pain behind him, his head was dizzy, and he was empty.
There are only two uncles and nephews in the tent, and they don't need to worry about talking.
Xie Xingzhi played with the porcelain bottle in his hand: "Poison." ”
"What?!" Xie Zhao roared and stared at his teeth, pulling the swollen wound, and immediately fell down, sweat wetting his thin shirt.
