With this voice, a tall figure pounced on Cui Jing, hugged Cui Jing firmly, and patted Cui Jing's back heavily with a thick palm.

Hu Tingshi and the others were terrified when they saw it, if they changed it to a thinner one, they were afraid that they would have to shoot two taels of blood.

Ah Dian quickly let go of Cui Jing and asked excitedly, "Xiao Jing, why are you here!" Did you come to me and Xiao Li? ”

Cui Jing glanced at Chang Suining's direction, nodded, and said in a gentle voice: "Yes." ”

"Then you're late, Xiao Ah Li just led us to a big victory!" Ah Dian's eyes lit up, and he said in a show-off tone.

"Well, I heard." Cui Jing praised him seriously: "The seniors are very powerful. ”

Ah Dian's expression couldn't help but be more proud, but he was also very polite and conscious of taking care of others' feelings: "Xiaojing, you are also very good!" ”

He said to Cui Jing with a look of "you don't have to be disappointed": "If there is a next time, we will bring you with you!" ”

It looks like "if there is a great opportunity again, everyone will be great together".

Cui Jing showed a hint of a smile: "Okay, thank you seniors." ”

Xiao Min and the others couldn't help laughing.

Chang Suining opened his mouth and asked, "How is Vice General Jin doing now?" ”

"Vice Admiral Jin is no longer bloodless!" Ah Dian changed his color: "The military doctor said that the knife was almost stabbed in the heart, but fortunately, the boat was shaking and unstable at that time, so the stab was a little off!" ”

Thinking of the traitor, he clenched his fists and said angrily: "It's the boat that helps, the people are bad, and the boat is good!" ”

He didn't speak clearly enough, so Hu Tingshi added on the side: "General Ning Yuan, rest assured, Vice General Jin should not be in danger of his life for the time being." ”

After speaking, Hu Ling proposed that after Vice General Jin woke up, he could send people to the Assassin Mansion in Bianzhou City for treatment, so that Lang Zhong, who was skilled in medicine, could use the most symptomatic medicinal materials.

Of course, this is not just the privilege of only giving Vice General Jin one person, the meaning of Hu Ming's words is to let the injured soldiers go to Bianzhou for treatment and recuperation.

Hu Tingshi modestly said that they had nothing else in Bianzhou City, and they had some money.

After all, Bianzhou is also a big grain producer, and there is no shortage of money and grain.

Thinking that the military salaries and food allocated by the imperial court have always been tight, and every time he urges, Xiao Min, who has always been coldly spoken and questioned by officials who come to Beijing, heard the words at this moment, and the corners of his mouth almost shed tears of envy.

Heartbeat is heartbeat, Coach Xiao still subconsciously looked at Chang Suining, waiting for her to make an idea.

Chang Suining implicitly asked, "Will it be too troublesome for Bianzhou", and after Hu Ling waved his hand again and again, he nodded happily and thanked him repeatedly.

Someone is in charge of medicine and rice, of course, it is something to be happy about.

Xiao Min also thanked her with her.

Hu Ling sighed and said: "It was Hu Mou who thanked the two generals and all the soldiers for the people of Bianzhou, and it was because of your presence that Bianzhou was saved from this difficulty." ”

Before he left the city, he told the remaining subordinates to defend Bianzhou City, and at the same time made the people prepare to flee from the back gate.

The Xu army has no military discipline at all, and when entering the city, they must burn, kill and loot, and the soldiers have the duty to live and die with Bianzhou, but the people are innocent.

Now, the people of Bianzhou City do not have to be forced to leave their homes and become homeless refugees, and he can also be fortunate to return home again and hug his lovely little daughter in Bingxue.

He was lucky.

And those unfortunate soldiers are destined to never return home. Their heroic souls can only stay on this piece of water for a long time.

The bodies were salvaged, carried up, and placed on the bank of the river, which was particularly shocking at a glance.

The weather is getting warmer, and so many corpses can only choose to bury them nearby.

Cui Jing asked his subordinates to help dig the soil together, and He Wuhu and others also took the initiative to help, so that those soldiers who were already exhausted could rest.

When He Wuhu was wielding a shovel and sweating profusely, Shepherd's cabbage came over and asked him politely: "Our general asked me to ask, do you have any wine on you?" Can you lend some to our general? ”

Alcohol was not allowed during the march, and there was no drink in the army.

"Yes!" He Wuhu immediately instructed his brothers, took all the wine jugs he brought, and squeezed out a slightly flattering but sincere smile from the shepherd's cabbage: "The wine brought by the brothers is here, all the filial piety to our General Ningyuan!" ”

Hearing the word "filial piety" with a slightly stronger purpose, and the voice of "General Ningyuan", Shepherd's cabbage looked him up and down twice before picking up the two wine jugs: "That's enough, put away the rest!" ”

Shepherd's cabbage ran to the river with the flask.

Chang Suining unscrewed the wine jug and slowly poured the wine on the bank of the Bianshui River.

She looked at the river hidden in the night, listened to the sound of the river flowing slowly, felt the night breeze blowing in her face, and stood here quietly for a long time with an empty wine jug.

Cui Jing stood not far away, quietly looking at the vast Bianshui with her, with a deep and quiet awe in his eyes.

Wartime fighting is the most tragic, but the big hand that really pushes people into the abyss called sorrow often appears after the war is completely over.

Especially as a general, in addition to being sad, he also has the guilt of not being able to reconcile with himself.

For a long time to come, Chang Sui Ning didn't say anything.

Cui Jing, Xiao Min, Hu Ling and others took care of the next affairs together, from the placement of wounded soldiers, to the inventory of captured weapons, money and food, to the follow-up repair of damaged warships.

Knowing that he was experienced and his ability to deal with these post-war matters was no worse than his own, there was no need to use it in vain, so the tired Chang Sui Ning allowed himself to sit in front of the fire and hide in a daze for a while.

The night is dark, and the stars and moon are high.

The soldiers were very tired, and they gathered in a place to rest.

Ah Dian sat next to Chang Suining, setting the fire for her, talking about this, talking about that, Chang Suining bent his legs, folded his hands on his knees, rested his chin on the back of his hand, looked at the fire, and listened quietly.

I don't know how long later, suddenly a ray of music came to her ears.

Chang Sui Ning turned his head slightly, followed the sound and looked, only to see that not far away, Cui Jing was sitting on the ground, holding a green leaf between his slender fingers, which was horizontally attached to his lips.

The young man sat quietly blowing leaves, and his sound was clear and far-reaching, swinging in the night wind.

This music is like the sound of the sky, as if taken from the lake, sea and snow mountains, vast and clean, fluttering, and the moonlight cleanses the remnants of the bloody breath between this heaven and earth, soothes the tired and painful living, and also paves a way home for the heroic souls and the dead who no longer have to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy.

The soldiers listened quietly, some looked in the direction of their hometown, and some looked at the place where their comrades were buried, raised their hands on their scarred faces, and quietly wiped their tears.

Chang Sui listened quietly, and also looked at Cui Jing who was sitting there.

The young man's always cold eyebrows and eyes were now extraordinarily calm under the moonlight, and in this calm, there was a military general who did not resort to the compassion of the mouth, and there was also a stubborn pursuit of the image of peace.

Ah Dian also shed two strings of tears, he didn't know whether the music was good or bad, and he didn't know that the children of Qinghe Cui's family had been proficient in music theory since childhood, and this sound was a superior product, but he could hear what this music was saying.

They say to the awake people, don't be sad, go on, and it will be fine.

They say to the sleepers, "All afflictions are over, go, and take you home."

When Cui Jing put down the leaf, he got up and walked towards Chang Suining, only to see that she had fallen asleep on Ah Dian's shoulder.

The girl's tired sleeping face was particularly quiet and harmless in the light of the fire, and it was like two people who shot and killed the enemy during the day.

Cui Jing didn't disturb her, and was about to ask Yuan Xiang to fetch a thick cloak when she saw Yao Ran coming over and gently draped a blanket over Chang Suining.

Seeing that she was sleeping so deeply, even Ah Dian reached out and touched her forehead a little uneasily, making sure that she did not have a fever, so he put his mind at ease, held his breath and pursed his mouth, without making a sound, carefully supported her shoulders, and let her sleep on her lap.

His Highness has now become a girl and has become thinner, and he has to protect His Highness well.

With an attitude of treating everyone equally, Ah Dian beckoned to Cui Jing again, patted his idle other leg gently, and invited him to lie down as well.

Cui Jing did not lie down, but sat down by the fire.

He whispered, "Senior, sleep, I'll keep watch." ”

Ah Dian was almost sleepy, and when he heard this, he yawned, nodded obediently, and fell asleep against the big tree behind him.

Cui Jing then meditated, adding branches to the fire from time to time to keep Chang Suining and Ah Dian warm.

……

The army rested here for two days before finishing the aftermath of the war.

In the past two days, the battle report here has been transmitted back to Bianzhou City.

In the Bianzhou Assassin's Mansion, Mrs. Assassin Shi heard the news of the great victory, only to feel incredulous, facing the domestic servants who came to pass the word, showing a bit of madness under the ecstasy, thousands of shocks turned into a sentence: "...... Are you crazy or am I crazy? ”

"Madame...... What a victory! ”

Mrs. Thorn Shi was dumbfounded: "How did you do it?" ”

One of Hu Ling's aunts also felt incredible: "That's it, how can Master Lang have such ability!" ”

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but cover his mouth, and hurriedly remedied: "I mean...... How could 10,000 people win against Xu Zhengye's 100,000 army? ”

The soldier who sent the letter also walked in and explained in full: "...... This time, it was General Ning Yuan, and Coach Xiao set up an ambush in Bianshui in advance! ”

"General Ning Yuan?"

"Coach Shaw ......"

General Ning Yuan and Boss Xiao, how could they suddenly appear in Bianshui, didn't they say that they had been chasing in the rear and had not been able to catch up for a long time?!

“…… How so? ”

The news also quickly spread back to Luoyang, and the military advisor in Li Xian's tent was extremely surprised when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but change his color.

The Xuan Ce army, which was guarding outside Luoyang City, had begun to celebrate the news of the victory in Bianshui, even if the credit was not theirs, but they did not hesitate to praise the soldiers who won the battle.

Winning the battle is a good thing, and the safe and sound of Bianzhou City is the greatest relief to them who are not allowed to send troops to help.

They don't care about the credit, or rather, as the Xuance Army, when did they lack credit?

Of course, they are not lacking, but there are people who are lacking.

Li Xian sat in the tent for a long time, and after repeatedly confirming that the news was correct, his eyes finally sank by two points.

He was still waiting for the news that Bianzhou couldn't support it and begged him to send troops, but who knew that what he was waiting for was the "good news" of the defeat of the Xu army......

Xiao Min and the girl from the Chang family actually set up an ambush in Bianshui early, just waiting for Xu Zhengye to throw himself into the net...... And he knew nothing about such an urgent plan, and was kept in the dark from beginning to end.

"The subordinates have confirmed the ......" The military advisor returned to the tent and said in a low voice: "The Xu army was not repulsed, but all surrendered. ”

"What about Xu Zhengye?" Li Xian raised his eyes to look at the military advisor.

"Xu Zhengye has been killed." The military advisor lowered his eyes and said, "It is reported that it was General Ning Yuan who killed him with his own hands, and the matter has spread. ”

Li Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, and let out a laugh that was indistinguishable from anger.

"What a general Ning Yuan, he is really a hero out of a young man...... he said in a low voice: "The article that was regarded by hundreds of officials as full of arrogant words...... It turned out to be a reality. ”

Such arrogant and unrealistic words can come true, and now, she is afraid that she will be regarded as a real star by the people.

In such a way, no one in the court dared to laugh at her, and no one was qualified to talk about her mistakes.

And he is destined to become a joke.

Xu Zhengye was not repulsed for a short time, but completely wiped out in one fell swoop......

Therefore, he didn't even have a chance to pursue, and his immobility in Luoyang from beginning to end became a complete joke.

Li Xian sat there, not showing much emotion on his face.

The chattering and congratulatory voices outside the tent fell on his ears very harshly, as if mocking him for gaining nothing from this trip.

The military advisor said at the right time: "...... The general was ordered to guard Luoyang, and now Luoyang is safe, and the general's trip is considered a success...... After that, if the general can successfully take charge of the Xuance Army, the opportunity for meritorious service is still in the future, and there is really no need to care about the gains and losses of this moment. ”

Li Xian came back to his senses and smiled: "What the military advisor said is reasonable. ”

He doesn't have to care about the momentary success.

He just...... I don't understand why all the good luck belongs to those people, and he has always had a rare chance to show his ambitions and be seen by the world.

He waited for too many years, and finally waited for this opportunity, but the plan fell through again, and he inevitably felt that he was being tricked by the world.

But the military advisor is right, as long as he can take charge of the Xuance Army and become the new general of the Xuance Army, he will not worry about not having the opportunity to show his talents.

The news of Cui Jing's accident has secretly spread in Beijing, and soon, the sage will definitely issue an order to let people take over the position of general of the Xuan Ce army, and he is the only person the sage can trust.

Thinking of this, Li Xian calmed down.

He said with a smile: "Let people prepare wine, and I will congratulate the soldiers on the victory of Bianshui." ”

The military advisor responded with a smile.

The blue-clothed woman beside Li Xian knelt and grinded, and Li Xian personally wrote a letter of congratulations, ready to be sent to Xiao Min and Chang Suining.

However, as soon as the letter was put into the envelope, he heard that Vice General Yu had returned to the camp and asked to see him outside.

Li Xian's eyes moved slightly, and his smile did not decrease: "Please come in quickly." ”

Adjutant General Yu had previously led 1,000 light cavalry and left the camp for many days in the name of patrolling.

But Li Xian didn't intend to blame at the moment, just wait for the other party to explain a little bit - as the future commander of the Xuance Army, why should he be more generous at this time?

Soon, Deputy General Yu, who saluted in the account, did give an explanation.

But this explanation was not at all expected by Li Xian.

Good night, good dreams~ (Tonight by Xiao Cui blowing leaves to help sleep)
