Go back to the capital!

Of course he wanted to go back. Unfortunately, it's far from time.

Xu Jing sighed secretly in his heart, and glanced at Xu Shiyi: "The battle in Jizhou has not yet been fought, and we must wait for the people to settle down before returning." ”

Xu Shiyi said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and virtuous, and cherishes the people. The son of the world is wise and brave, and he is invincible. There is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the prince, why worry about Jizhou's injustice. ”

Xu Jing couldn't help grinning, and kicked Xu Shiyi lightly: "I am under the banner of the prince to make the officers and soldiers in the army single-minded." Otherwise, where does the wise god come from and is invincible. Don't say such things in the future, if General Gao and General Feng hear it, I'm afraid they will laugh off their big teeth. ”

Xu Shiyi immediately said: "Even under the banner of His Royal Highness the Prince, you can't erase the merits of the prince." The whole army is in the eyes, and every son of the world is the first, charging forward, and the courage is unparalleled. will be brave, without the bravery of the son, how can there be so many big victories? ”

Otherwise, Xu Jing loves to listen to Xu Shiyi!

Xu Shiyi is an honest man, he never meets the horse, and he tells the truth!

Xu Jing glared at the past with a smile: "Go and clean up the battlefield." ”

Xu Shiyi saw that his master was in a good mood, so he took the order with a smile.

After a day's fighting, it was evening. The battlefield is full of corpses, and it will take three or four days to "clean" the battlefield.

The dead, whether they were bandits or soldiers, all had to be dug and buried. The war horses that were killed by random arrows, skinned and boiled meat, were just enough for the soldiers to feast and see the meat.

Actually, horse meat is not very tasty. The food in the barracks was extraordinarily coarse, but it was cooked and salted. Xu Jing, who has always been a picky eater, can now sit on the ground without changing his face, and gnaw a large piece of horse meat with relish in the thick smell of blood and corpses.

The prince of Dingguo and the Marquis of Zhongyong also came. In the army, they are all rough men, and no one can pay attention to them. When the army was marching and fighting, it was impossible to take a shower for ten days and eight days. The prince of Dingguo was mottled with blood all over his body, and the Marquis of Zhongyong was not much better.

Xu Jing smiled and beckoned to the two.

In the past few months, Xu Jing has been in the army, charging forward and killing countless people in every battle. This courage has won the respect of the prince of Dingguo and the loyal and brave marquis.

Moreover, the generals went to the battlefield together, were born and died together, and left their backs to each other. The trust and friendship thus formed is the most honest and deepest.

The prince of Dingguo came over with a smile and sat beside Xu Jing. Marquis Zhongyong sat down opposite Xu Jing unceremoniously. Their own soldiers went to the pot to get the horse meat.

Marquis Zhongyong took out a flat wine jug from his arms, took a sip of horse meat, and gave it to Xu Jing.

Xu Jing also took a big sip and passed it on to the prince of Dingguo. The three of them had a pot of wine and ate a meal of horse meat.

"This is the last bandit in Jizhou." The wound on the arm of the Marquis of Zhongyong was healed, and another one was added to the waist and abdomen. However, this minor injury is nothing at all. At least it didn't affect the Marquis of Zhongyong to drink wine and eat meat: "After this battle, let's go back to the barracks to repair for a while." ”

The prince of Dingguo took over with a smile: "Yes, after so many days of fighting, the soldiers are tired. Let them rest well. ”

"There's not much to fight next. Placing the people to appease people's hearts and minds has his own Royal Highness the Prince. Let's go back to the barracks and get a good night's sleep. ”

The generals only care about the war, how to govern and stabilize the people, that is the prince's heart.

Xu Jing was still inexperienced, thought about it, and asked in a low voice: "Judging from the two generals, how long do we have to stay in Jizhou?" ”

The prince of Dingguo thought for a moment and replied in a low voice: "I have to stay for at least two more months." ”

It is now May, which means that you can only start classes in July and return to the capital in August.

It's going to take another three months to see Sister Moon'er!

Marquis Zhongyong seemed to see through Xu Jing's thoughts, and laughed: "Is the prince worried about his fiancée?" ”

Xu Jing's skin was as thick as a city wall, and he didn't feel embarrassed, so he nodded calmly and admitted: "Yes." If I hadn't come to Jizhou, I would have gotten married on the sixth day of April. Now the wedding date has been postponed for half a year, and it has been changed to the sixth day of October. I have to calculate the time and rush back to the capital early. Can't let her wait any longer. ”

"It's the prince who can't wait!" The prince of Dingguo laughed and teased.

Xu Jing grinned: "It's still General Feng who understands me." ”

The three of them laughed together.

This night, Xu Jing dreamed again.

In the dream, he had wings under his armpits and flew through the air. For some reason, it stopped above a small house. The familiar figure of the crescent sister's sister appeared under the eaves of the porch.

He tried his best to fall, but it was like he was being held up by a thick layer of something, and he couldn't fall down. He shouted loudly and vigorously to Sister Moon, who stood there silently as if she hadn't heard her.

It was as if I was looking at him from a distant time and space.

He reached out to touch her, but his body flew farther and farther uncontrollably, and her figure became smaller and smaller......

Xu Jing woke up suddenly.

There was some warmth at the corners of the eyes.

He reached out and wiped the corners of his eyes vigorously, then covered his undulating chest and muttered in a low voice, "Crescent Moon, what happened to you?" ”

……

Five days later, the army returned to the barracks.

After successive big victories, the three bandits in Jizhou were swept away. The morale of the army is high. The only thing that was not so pleasant was General Murong who had been staying in the barracks.

This time, Xu Jing made great military exploits, and the prince of Dingguo and the Marquis of Zhongyong also made their own military exploits. The morale of the Iron Guard Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion was boosted. The Praetorian Guards, who made a trip, stayed in the barracks, saying that they were guarding the safety of the prince, but in fact they did not achieve anything.

Therefore, the Praetorian Guard looks like a beautiful place, and there are very few opportunities to fight. The harsh words that the Marquis of Zhongyong said behind his back could not be listened to.

Of course, Marquis Zhongyong not only scolded people behind his back, but also never politely in front of General Murong.

On this night, a celebration banquet was held in the barracks, cattle and sheep were slaughtered, and soldiers who were born and died were rewarded.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also held a banquet in the military tent. Those who are qualified to attend the banquet are Xu Jingding, the prince of the country, Zhongyonghou, and General Murong.

The prince has been practicing hard for days, but his spirit is good, and he raised his glass with a smile: "You can't drink alone, so today I will replace wine with tea and salute a few generals." After returning to the capital, we will be rewarded for meritorious deeds. ”

Everyone laughed and thanked them and drank a glass of wine together.

As soon as the wine glass of the Marquis of Zhongyong was put down, the corner of his eye glanced at General Murong who was sitting upright, how could he look at it, and said with a smile: "In this battle, the first merit should be the Praetorian Guard." The Praetorian Guards stayed in the barracks to protect His Highness's safety. When the barracks are stable, the morale of the army is stable. We can win the battle. ”

"In the future, when it comes to meritorious deeds, General Murong will have to be the first."
