Chapter 67: Return to the Army
Because he needed to wait for reinforcements, he was idle, so Xiao Jingxuan set up a banquet in the conference hall to treat the generals well.
The scale of the banquet is still relatively large, in addition to the commanders of each battalion, there are also partial generals of various rates under their command and several team members who have made great contributions in the battle. There are more than 60 people.
After everyone arrived, Xiao Jingxuan raised his wine glass and drank a glass with the soldiers.
After drinking, Xiao Jingxuan took out a letter from the handsome case and shouted outside the door: "Someone." ”
I saw a guard walk in and kneel down on one knee in front of Xiao Jingxuan.
"This is a merit excerpt, you take it, as well as the heads of the two barbarian emperors and barbarian queens and the barbarian emperor's Daxu to the imperial court, remember, bring a few more people, and remember to publicize it loudly when passing through the town."
"Yes, the last general commands."
After saying that, the guard withdrew with the fold.
Xiao Jingxuan raised his wine glass and said to the surroundings: "Everyone, I have already handed over the excerpt for you to ask for merit, and I will definitely be added to the rank of knight when the time comes." Come, drink. ”
The generals began to drink one after another. At this time, Gongsun Sheng picked up his wine glass and toasted Xiao Jingxuan.
"General, we have no order to go on the expedition, I'm afraid it's not suitable to be too public."
After hearing Gongsun Sheng's words, the hall quickly fell silent. Yes, in this battle, although Great Wei won, Xiao Jingxuan and others did not send troops after all.
Looking at the generals who had come around, Xiao Jingxuan thought about it, and decided to talk to these favorite generals about his heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what you said is right, if we keep a low profile, the imperial court will inevitably turn a blind eye to the matter of us not summoning troops, and vice versa. But I did it anyway, for what? In order to deter Xiaoxiao. ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Jingxuan looked around and continued: "I, Xiao Jingxuan, have blood on my hands, and I have slaughtered many barbarian clans. To be honest, sometimes, I look down on myself, but I have to. Tell me, "Why is that?" ”
Hearing Xiao Jingxuan's question, the crowd began to speak freely.
Some say it is to weaken the strength of the barbarians, others say it is to take revenge. Some say it's for the sake of making a contribution.
Xiao Jingxuan held back a glance at the guy who said that he had made a contribution, and scolded with a smile.
"Damn, in your eyes, is Ben Shuai such a person?"
After speaking, he smiled again. Looking at the generals around him, Xiao Jingxuan explained the reason.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't say anything about the situation in the court, I think you have also heard of it, at this time when the world is about to be chaotic, I want to use iron and blood to warn Xiaoxiao, Dawei, and me and other bloody warriors. No matter who it is, as long as he moves his mind that should not be moved, then Fan Yang's tens of thousands of soldiers will definitely tear them apart. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Jingxuan looked at the generals again, and Xiao Jingxuan picked up the wine bowl on the table.
"For the sake of the court, everyone, please drink this cup to the full."
"."
All the soldiers raised their glasses together and drank this glass of wine.
After drinking the wine in the bowl, the guards beside him poured Xiao Jingxuan full of wine. Xiao Jingxuan began to speak again.
"There are a few people here here, there should be a few people who followed me from Fengzhou, when I first arrived in Fengzhou, I don't know how many people have seen the tragic situation in Fengzhou, the ruins and broken walls, the blood flows like a river, and there are large and small Beijing views.
At that time, I was very angry, as a general, as a Wei person, this is a sea of blood feud. But, to say something that everyone here is not happy about, although the barbarians are cruel, I understand them.
You know why? Because this is a battle of races, this is a battle for survival, there is no right or wrong, only life and death.
In the barbarian grassland, as long as there is a huge snowstorm in winter, then countless cattle and sheep will freeze to death, and in the second year, countless barbarians will inevitably fall into starvation. If they want to avoid starvation, they can only invade south.
And as the defensive side, it will inevitably be treated bloodishly by the barbarians, all for the sake of survival. Therefore, we will go out to the steppe to defend against the enemy, and only in this way can we avoid the slaughter of the people under our rule.
However, we are a little powerless in the face of the barbarians who have lived on horseback since childhood, so we can only use all the methods at our disposal, although cruel but effective.
This is our destiny. As a soldier, you want to protect your family and defend your country. Those who defend are also their own citizens, and the people of other countries, what do they have to do with me? ”
So, the crowd continued to drink again. Now that the three glasses have passed, it stands to reason that the next step is the time for free revelry.
However, Xiao Jingxuan picked up the wine glass again and drank the fourth glass with the soldiers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, whether you are from a wealthy family or from a poor family, I hope that there will be a beginning and an end. Mutually exclusive. ”
The banquet lasted until late, and all the soldiers drank to their heart's content. Many drunken generals were lying in the chamber.
Looking at the ugly generals in the hall, Xiao Jingxuan shook his head, in fact, Xiao Jingxuan still has a lot of words in his heart that he hasn't said, not yet, the time has not come.
In the entire conference hall, it is estimated that only Wei Ming can understand his own thoughts.
Seeing that it was already late at night, Xiao Jingxuan returned to the back office to rest with the support of his guards.
For the next few days, all the soldiers were in a state of rest and no training. After all, the war was too hard.
On this day, the scouts who were out on reconnaissance finally brought back the news of the barbarians, and after listening to the scout's report, Xiao Jingxuan finally understood the current situation of the barbarians.
As time passed, the barbarian Khan's court was slaughtered, the barbarian emperor and queen died, and the news of the annihilation of the 10,000 Golden Horde cavalry finally spread throughout the grassland.
On the grassland, in the name of revenge, the six kings began to reorganize their armies for war, and messengers from all walks of life also frequently entered and exited the major kings. Apparently intending to make a move.
As for the barbarian Khan's court, it was even more panicked, first of all, the two princes fought for the position of the barbarian emperor. And the generals of the Khan's court also supported their successors at this time.
Now, the two princes, with the support of their respective supporters, each occupy half of the Khan's court, and they face each other against each other with the original Khan's court as the boundary.
Although both sides are trying their best to exercise restraint at present, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this kind of confrontation will not last long, and a big war is not far off.
As for the Klutai Royal Department and the Woluji Royal Department closest to Xiao Jingxuan, they don't have time to pay attention to themselves for the time being.
Of course, even if they had time, at this special time, they didn't dare to fight with Xiao Jingxuan. so as not to be swallowed up by other forces.
It can be said that today's grassland is a barrel of explosives, which can be detonated at any time.
After getting the news, Xiao Jingxuan ordered to take up the army of Wolf's Head Mountain, bring all the supplies, and march towards Shenzhou.
The materials in Wolf's Head Mountain can be said to be very large. A large number of gold, silver, jewelry, cattle and sheep, too many to count.
The team transporting supplies has been stretching for more than ten miles, which is very spectacular, and this is not counting the materials on the war horses.
Watch the mighty procession drive through the snow. The pride in Xiao Jingxuan's heart came spontaneously.
When the army was halfway through, they ran into Huangfu Song and others who came to meet them. So the two armies converged and marched towards Shenzhou together.
After several days of forced marching, the army finally returned to Shenzhou.
After arriving in Shenzhou, Xiao Jingxuan left some supplies for Shenzhou, and then let some of the cattle, sheep, and furs be transported back to various farms by the camp owners.
Then the armies began to return to their respective stations, and Xiao Jingxuan also returned to Yingzhou with the Chinese army and the personal guard battalion with the carriage transporting supplies.
After arriving in Yingzhou, watching the materials being transported into the warehouse by the army, Ling Huizhi, as the head of the household, and Ding Weiran, the chief of the house, and the chief Shi Ding Weiran, both of them couldn't close their mouths happily.
And after learning that a lot of supplies had been sent to farms in various counties, the two of them almost went crazy with excitement.
After greeting the civil and military forces of Yingzhou, Xiao Jingxuan asked the army to return to the camp, and he returned to the Jiedu envoy's mansion with two hundred personal guards.
The first thing Xiao Jingxuan did when he arrived at the mansion was to convene a meeting, at which Xiao Jingxuan appointed Wei Ming as the right chief of the Jiedu Embassy.
At the same time, Xiao Jingxuan divided the work of the two long histories.
Ding Weiran was in charge of the government affairs of the officials, workers, and rites, while Wei Ming was in charge of the government affairs of the soldiers, households, and Xing rooms.
As for the other vacant positions, they will be promoted after a while. However, now, most of the positions in the Jiedu Embassy have been arranged, and it will not be difficult to run.
After a while, it will be the annual Shangyuan Festival, and Xiao Jingxuan plans to take this opportunity to celebrate well.
After another meeting with the officials, Xiao Jingxuan returned to his room and began to heal.
In the Khan Court before, after the battle with the four masters under the command of the Barbarian Emperor, the injury has not fully recovered. Take advantage of the fact that there is no military affairs in the body now, and quickly recover your body.
Xiao Jingxuan finally recovered from his injuries after three days of retreat, Xiao Jingxuan had broken through to the innate in the Sanyuan Concept before, and now, after a battle with the four masters of the barbarians, although he did not break through the realm, he had a new understanding in martial arts.
Now, after the battle on the battlefield, coupled with the collection of books in the Sanyuan Guanfa Hall, Xiao Jingxuan is finally about to step out of his own way.
Xiao Jingxuan is currently creating his own sword technique, although he has comprehended it when he returned to the realm before, but it is a prototype.
However, now, Xiao Jingxuan has created his own first-style knife method "one knife to cut the world".
Although there is only one style of this set of knife techniques, Xiao Jingxuan believes that when he completely digests the Sanyuanguan collection, he will have more comprehension.
After the retreat was completed, Hins Hsiao inspected the preparations for the Shangyuan Festival.
After reading the preparations for the Shangyuan Festival, Xiao Jingxuan was still quite satisfied.
In addition to feasting Fan Yang's civil and military, he also enjoyed with the people. A grand lantern festival is held in the middle of the city.
