Chapter 138: A Winter Story (2)
The snow flies at the border pass, and the snowflakes dye the mountains and fields all over the country soaked in a blanket of silver, and the soldiers are standing guard against the wind and snow, and there are snowflakes on the cold iron armor.
In the depths of the barracks, in a tent,
Several generals were studying the sand table, and the leader was a middle-aged man, his face full of wind and frost, the marks on his armor and the dark red blood lipid stagnation showed his great achievements.
This person is the Marquis of Chengyang, one of the two major military marquis of Yunzhou, a legendary figure who is famous for his outstanding military exploits.
"Master Hou," a general pointed to a place on the sand table and said, "This heavy snow truce, the White Lotus Sect will definitely take this opportunity to replenish logistics, and this is a very suitable granary, when the snow stops, we can destroy this granary first." β
Chengyang Hou nodded slightly, his expression was very serious, and said: "This is indeed a good idea, you can study it from all directions, but what Ben Shuai is most worried about now is when the supplies from the imperial court will arrive, the White Lotus Sect can't afford it, and we can't afford it either!" β
"Hmph, the imperial court," a general said dissatisfiedly: "We are fighting for life and death on the front line, those officials and masters of the imperial court only care about drunk life and dreams one by one, where will they care about our life and death, and the supplies have reached us, and it can be regarded as an eye-opener!" β
In the tent, there was a sudden silence.
Now the actions of the imperial court really chill the soldiers of the three armies.
If it weren't for the imperial court's delay in sending supplies, why would there be a protracted war with the White Lotus Sect here.
Chengyang Hou sighed and said: "This kind of thing, it doesn't matter if our own brothers say a few words, don't talk nonsense outside, if someone hears it, it will be troublesome!" β
"Hmph," a young general muttered: "Some people can't fight, it's very powerful to make small moves behind their backs to fight for power and profit, our Hou Ye is dedicated to the country and loyal, but there are always people who want to blame our Hou Ye for the loss of Longguan......"
"Okay," Chengyang Hou scolded in a deep voice: "Don't say this kind of thing in the future, Longguan is lost, I can't rush to help in time, this responsibility can't be shirked." β
"Why," said one of the generals, "they didn't inform our Chengyang Army of their own plan at all, and now they will blame us if they lose, what is the reason?" β
At this time,
There was a soldier outside the door who reported: "Marshal Qiyu, Lord Qin You, the supervisor of Qintian, asks to see you." β
Chengyang Hou frowned.
In the tent, all the generals had ugly expressions.
"It's Qin Tianjian again, if you don't succeed enough, you have more than enough failures, so you know that you are in the nest!"
"It's really a chicken feather as an arrow, and it doesn't matter if our military comes."
"Master Hou, this Qin You has always been close to Liuhou, and he is trying every means to frame you, I'm afraid it's not good!"
"Lord Hou......"
The Marquis of Chengyang waved his hand, signaled the generals to stay, and left the camp alone.
soon
Chengyang Hou entered a small tent, and as soon as he entered, he saw a white-haired old man in a long robe sitting in a brazier, holding a stick in his hand and fiddling with the charcoal fire.
"Qin Jianzheng, long time no see." Chengyang Hou spoke.
The old man raised his head slowly, his face was clear, his jaw beard fluttered lightly with the night breeze, and the breath on his body revealed an indescribable feeling, he slowly got up, smiled and arched his hand: "If you want to come to Chengyang, you don't welcome this official." β
Chengyang Hou Pingyu said: "Qin Jian Zheng is joking, Ben Hou is quite willing to deal with you, but Qin Jian Zheng has always had some misunderstandings about Ben Hou. β
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, let time tell!" Qin You got up and said, "This official took the liberty to visit because he wanted to say a word of condolences to the Hou Ye!" β
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Chengyang Hou's eyes,
His son Ling Jing died in Linjiang City, although the news had not yet come out, but he already knew about it.
"Eunuch Qin is gloating?" Chengyang Hou said coldly.
Qin You waved his hand and said, "Master Hou misunderstood, this official is here to send some things." β
With that, Qin You took out a few letters and handed them to the Marquis of Chengyang.
Chengyang Hou took the letter and looked at it, it was all some things that Ling Jing died suddenly and didn't have time to deal with.
Chengyang Hou put away the letter, his face remained unchanged, and asked, "Your conditions." β
Qin You said: "First, now that the border war is suspended, Master Hou, I don't want the military to have infighting itself at this stage, and second, Ling Shizi sacrificed his life for the country and died in battle." β
Chengyang Hou pondered for a while and nodded slowly.
"Thank you, Master Hou."
Qin You smiled slightly, turned around and walked out of the tent, and his figure disappeared into the wind and snow.
Seeing Qin You disappear, the Marquis of Chengyang snorted coldly and said towards the empty tent: "Inform the mansion and stop all retaliation against Linjiang City." β
In the tent, there was a sudden slight fluctuation of vitality.
An illusory figure appeared behind the Marquis of Chengyang, and arched his hand: "Master Hou, the prince died in Linjiang City, so forget it?" β
Chengyang Hou narrowed his eyes and said, "Qin You is here in person, and Jing'er has left so many traces that have not been dealt with, so this matter will end here!" β
The illusory figure hesitated: "But, how can Madame explain it?" β
Chengyang Hou thought for a while and said: "Linjiang City can't be liquidated, Qin You's proud protΓ©gΓ© Yang Yunzhi is in Linjiang City, with Yang Yunzhi's means, if I forcibly liquidate now, he can really make the Chengyang Army jump, as for Madame's side, just take the murderer of Jing'er to the mansion." β
"Yes, the subordinates understand," the figure bowed, and suddenly said: "By the way, Master Hou, that thing that doesn't know whether to live or die is called Gu Qi, and he also killed Qi Baiyu's younger brother Qi Qianyu, it is said that Qi Baiyu personally went out of Weishui in order to take revenge." β
"That Gu ...... Gu what? β
"Gu Chop."
"Yes, that kid named Gu Qi, where is he now?" Chengyang Hou asked.
"It's still investigating," the figure said: "Yang Yunzhi blocked the news before, and that kid took advantage of that time to escape, and now we are in control, and we have determined that the kid went to Yunxi!" β
The Marquis of Chengyang pondered for a while and said: "Don't let that kid successfully enter Yunxi, otherwise, Yunxi is very troublesome, if that kid has successfully entered Yunxi, let Qi Baiyu kill him, well, by the way, don't use the power of the government throughout the whole process, so as not to leave unnecessary handles,
In addition, go back and tell Mrs. to rest assured that those people in Linjiang City will be liquidated by Benhou, just when the time is right, I will let the people in the city bury Jing'er! β
"My subordinates understand."
The illusory figure arched its hand and slowly disappeared.
In the empty camp tent, only Chengyang Hou was left, quietly looking at the snowflakes flying outside, he sighed lightly, and muttered: "Jing'er, don't worry, as many as you want, Dad will let them all go down to bury you with you, but Dad can't do it directly now!" β
Chengyang Hou clenched his fists and said coldly: "Liuhou, Qin You, Yang Yunzhi...... You all deserve to die! β
