Chapter 456: A Tooth for a Tooth, an Eye for an Eye (2nd Watch)
Speaking of a certain man, the corners of Xu Jing's mouth softened slightly, and said, "No matter what you call him, I don't know what position he will be transferred to when he comes back this time."
However, he should not stay in the army, even if you call him General Xiao, it won't be long. ”
After knowing the tragic past of Xiao Yi's grandfather's family, she finally understood why this man was unwilling to stay in the army.
But it is precisely because of the affairs of his maternal grandfather's family that whenever the country is in trouble, he will not hesitate to stand up and defend the country.
"Is that so?"
Cheng Qingqing blinked, she didn't know much about Xiao Yi's family, but it didn't prevent her from worshiping Xiao Yi, "But with General Xiao's exploits on the battlefield, even if he doesn't stay in the army, the rewards he will receive will definitely not be less!"
I've been hearing rumors from people outside in the past two days that after he comes back this time, he is likely to be transferred back to the Privy Council, and maybe our Da Chu will usher in the youngest prime minister! ”
As Cheng Qingqing said, Xiao Yi has made supreme achievements this time.
After King Ling was safely brought back to Xijing, the Jiang family lost the last chance to take King Ling away.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Jiang family, the Jiang family wanted to hide the news at first, but later their soldiers could not see King Ling for a long time, and the people spread the news that King Ling had arrived in Xijing, so this matter could not be concealed completely.
After that, the morale of the Jiang family's soldiers was greatly reduced, and during that time, Liang Guogong and they almost broke their city gates, and in the end, Jiang Shaoyan came to the front line in person, which could be regarded as defending.
In this way, the two sides were in a stalemate for more than two months, but what no one expected was that during this period, Xiao Yishen unknowingly sent a team of elite soldiers out of the fortress to negotiate with the Dadan tribe.
At that time, Jiang Shaoyan had already returned to Yizhou, and their attention was focused on the imperial army outside, how did they know that Xiao Yi was directly a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye, they could cooperate with foreign races, why couldn't they? What's more, they can give much more chips than they do.
In the end, Xiao Yi proposed that Da Chu resume free trade with Saiwai in the future, and gave the Dadan clan great preferential treatment in trade, and then analyzed with them who was more likely to win between them and the Jiang family, the leader of the Dadan clan finally favored them, agreed to cooperate with them, and gave them as a cover, so that they could directly attack the Jiang family's current base camp - Yizhou through their territory.
By the time Jiang Shaoyan found out that their backyard was on fire, the elite soldiers sent by Xiao Yi had already broken into the mansion where he was, and the elite soldiers around Jiang Shaoyan hurriedly covered him to escape.
When the front-line soldiers learned of this situation, they were greatly attacked, and the defense of the city for several months had made them physically and mentally exhausted, and they were instantly defeated, and the army of the imperial court attacked quickly, capturing Jiang Chaoda, the envoy of Beiting Jiedu, and Zhou Guangsheng, the envoy of Lu Jiedu, as well as most of the Jiang family.
Xu Jing received the news of the great victory of the imperial army as early as half a month ago, and in just a few days after that, this news, along with Xiao Yi's name, spread all over Dachu.
These days, the people have a new look, and there is a lot more laughter and talking in the streets.
Even the displaced people outside the city sang and danced all night to celebrate, and nothing was more inspiring than the news of peace.
Cheng Qingqing said, and suddenly said: "The war is obviously over, why haven't you heard the news of the return of the imperial army for a long time?" Sister Jing, in the letter General Xiao recently gave you, did you say when he would come back? ”
Xu Jing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you think that winning the war means that everything is over?" The aftermath of the war—dealing with enemy troops, rehousing prisoners, pacifying the people, recovering and rebuilding lost territories, and so on—took no less time and effort than fighting a war.
And ......"
Moreover, the most troublesome thing is that although they have captured most of the Jiang family, the most important Jiang Shaoyan and his sons have not been able to find their traces so far.
Among the missing people, there is Jiang Yu.
Although in today's situation, they can't set off any storms, but if they don't eradicate the roots, they will eventually have endless troubles.
This is also the reason why Princess Ling wanted to send King Ling away no matter what.
As long as one of the remnants of the Jiang family is still in exile, King Ling will be closely monitored, and until he dies, he will not be able to be free again.
It's just that this matter is now a secret in the army, Xu Jing didn't say it to Cheng Qingqing in detail, and smiled lightly: "That's it, anyway, they will come back sooner or later, let's just wait with peace of mind."
Now that the imperial court won't let us make medicine for the time being, let's hurry up and finish settling the accounts for this time, and I will return to Xijing with a long smile in a few days. ”
Hearing that Xu Jing was going back to Xijing, Cheng Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart, and pouted: "Sister Jing is gone, Chen Hu and they are just afraid of crying, in the past six months, thanks to Sister Jing, Anping County has solved the case faster than ever, and even people from nearby counties have come to us to learn from it, which can make them proud." ”
Xu Jing squinted at her.
The one who wants to cry the most should be this girl.
She flicked her forehead lightly, put her attention back to the ledger in her hand, and said: "Okay, I won't come back if I don't go back, if you want me and Changxiao, just hurry up and help me train those little apprentices, when you want to go to Xijing, you can go to Xijing, and if you want to stay in Anping County, stay in Anping County, how free and how free." ”
When Cheng Qingqing heard this, she couldn't help but yearn for it.
There is no fettered at all, and there is freedom in the future, and there is no need to worry about money.
She couldn't wait.
Seven days later, Xu Jing packed up her things, took Xiao Huai'an with her, and left Anping County and began to return to Xijing in the reluctant farewell of the Cheng brothers and sisters and the county government.
It has been more than a month since I last returned to Beijing, Xiao Huaian was a little excited, and kept pestering Xu Jing to ask if he could see Daddy when he went back this time.
In the end, he was tired of asking, and leaned on Shen Niang's arms and fell asleep.
Shen Niang lovingly wiped the beads of sweat that had just played around above Xiao Huai'an's head, and said: "Lang Jun left in April when the grass grew and the warbler flew, and now the leaves have turned yellow, a few days ago, the old slave saw that Xiao Langjun was secretly painting Lang Jun's portrait, and the old slave saw it, and said with an embarrassed face, he was afraid that he would forget Daddy's appearance and wanted to paint it, but he didn't paint it well now, and painted Daddy ugly, so that the old slave must help him keep it secret, don't tell Mrs. and Lang Jun."
The old slave's heart ached in an instant. ”
With such a well-behaved doll, who can not hurt?
Xu Jing couldn't help but look at Xiao Huai'an with gentle eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly: "Come on, the father he misses will be back soon." ”
"But, ma'am......"
Chunyang suddenly said a little worried: "Lang Jun used to send a letter home to his wife in half a month, but now it has been half a month since his wife last received a letter from Lang Jun's family. ”
Xu Jing's brows suddenly frowned slightly.
In the past, when the war was tense, Xiao Yi wrote a letter to her once a month.
Later, the war was a little easier, so I sent it back every half a month.
It stands to reason that now that the war is over, he should have more time for other things.
Xu Jing was silent for a moment and said, "Xu is Langjun has things to do, so don't think too much." ”
After a day and a night of journey, their carriage finally arrived outside Xijing City.
However, just as they were heading towards the gate of Xijing City, the carriage suddenly stopped suddenly, and a series of panicked screams rang out outside at the same time.
It's the voice of other pedestrians on the same road! (End of chapter)
