On the 19th of July, the army, which had been recuperating all night, left Feixiang and turned southeast, pursuing the enemy.

Shao Xun received the news temporarily, almost on the same day that he defeated Lu Ping and Li Le, Gou Xi broke Jisang again in Yangping and killed thousands of people.

Both the north and south lines were defeated, and Jisang was indeed exhausted, and it didn't look like he could turn the tables.

At this time, on the post road, the morale of the silver spear army who had won a great battle was high, and every time they saw Shao Xun riding his horse, they spontaneously cheered.

Shao Xun was happy to let them do so.

The private soldier who has spent five years and cultivated with all his heart and soul finally has a little appearance, can go into battle and win battles, and this huge satisfaction is enough to make anyone intoxicated.

The Yamen Army was a little resentful.

In the battle of Feixiang, they took on the task of flanking and did not get any chance to make a move, but only chased the north at the last moment and fought a tailwind battle. And the biggest credit for this battle fell on the Silver Spear Army, which had been looked down upon by them before, so everyone was not convinced, and they were holding back a fire in their hearts.

And if you are unhappy, you will naturally have to vent it.

Three days later, they arrived in Guantao County unimpeded.

There are only more than 1,000 rebels in the city, and the people are panicking.

The auxiliaries spent a day making some simple ladders, and that night they suddenly attacked at night, breaking over the walls and into the city.

The thieves were crushed, and most of them were scattered.

On the 21st, he continued eastward, pursuing all the way without pausing.

On the 23rd, during the march, he got news that Shile went south from the Qing River to rescue Jisang, and more than 10,000 people died for Gou Xi. The two packed up the remnants and rushed to Qinghe.

So the army turned around and headed for the Qing River.

On the 25th, the Yamen army defeated the broken rebel army Kui'an and Taobao, and the two only led dozens of horsemen to run.

On the 26th, Kefu Qinghe County continued to the north, and the pursuit did not stop.

At this time, Liu Yu finally arrived in Yecheng slowly.

The Ye Palace is dilapidated and difficult to live in. Fortunately, there are many empty houses in the city, so it is not impossible to arrange.

"The good palace was burned down by a group of unknown thieves, but I don't know when it will be restored."

"If Yanguo is here, maybe he will go to the mourning and crying."

"Haha, Hikook is an idiot."

"Have you read Yanguo's military report? simply blew Shao Xun into the number one general in the world. ”

"Isn't Gou Dao also playing well? There are more captures, and the results are greater than Shao Xun's. The 50,000 thieves in Jisang were basically scattered. I heard that Jisang Nanben Chiping Muyuan, this is looking for death. Shile led hundreds of horsemen to the north, and did not know where to go. ”

"Unconsciously, the Hebei rebels are finally going to be pacified."

Everyone was noisy and shouting, and their expressions were a little complicated.

Two people who had no family led the troops, and the thief army broke one after another, like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and cleaned up Hebei all over the place.

But before them, Nanyang Wang Mo couldn't control the situation, and slipped away to avoid Xuchang and then to Chang'an. Xin Cai Wang Teng was even more miserable, only one of the four fathers and sons survived, and the family was almost wiped out.

Among the kings, the only one with some ability is probably Fan Yang Wang Yu, but he died violently at the age of thirty-seven, otherwise there would not be so many more heads and tails.

Every time I think of these things, everyone is a little uncomfortable.

Thinking of the fact that Zhang Fang, the number one general in Kansai, also had no family, it was even more uncomfortable.

In this world, how can there be some people who don't know the so-called lowly people?

"Hu Wufu's good news, I have sent someone to Xuchang." Liu Yu, who had been looking at the map before, suddenly raised his head and said.

"Xuchang?" Some people are puzzled.

"Jisang was defeated, and Taifu has left Guandu and returned to Xuchang." Liu Yu explained: "The overall situation of Hebei has been decided, and there will be no changes. ”

"What about us?"

"We can't leave yet." Liu Yu shook his head and said: "There are remnants of the King of Chengdu who are active in Guangping, and Taifu has an order, and he will go north to exterminate it." ”

"That Shao Xun ......"

Liu Yu's face sank.

In fact, he didn't know much about the situation at the front, and Hu Wufu's good news was exaggerated, and he couldn't believe it all. But when he saw Shao Xun biting the thieves in pursuit, he knew that their casualties in the Battle of Feixiang were not large, so he had the spare strength and confidence to pursue the fleeing enemy, that is to say, they were now a victorious army with high morale......

Obviously, the purpose of consuming Shao Xun was not achieved.

On the contrary, he may have captured a large amount of supplies, captured many defeated soldiers and craftsmen, and his strength was still stronger than before the war, and it was even more difficult to deal with.

"Wait for Taifu's response." Liu Yu sighed.

He was really worried that because this matter was not done well, he would fall out of favor in front of Taifu and let others climb up - Taifu recently admired Pan Tao, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, very much, and had the intention of inviting him into the scene, Liu Yu had a sense of crisis.

Hearing Liu Yu say this, everyone also shut up.

No matter how much intrigue and intrigue you play, will someone's hearty victory work? Thinking of this, I was slightly depressed.

"Shao Xun is near Qinghe now, right?" Liu Yu asked.

"Yes."

"Did he say what he was going to do?"

"Pursue Shile to the north, and vow to kill this fang."

"Huh?" Liu Yu shouted in surprise and said to himself, "Strange." Jisang and Shile were defeated, and the people were scattered. Jisang ran south to Chiping, Shile fled north to Anping, why did Shao Xun abandon Jisang and chase Shile, is Shile's value higher than Jisang? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they were all a little puzzled.

yes, why? Jisang's head is much more valuable than Shile.

"Let him accept it when he sees it, go west to Xiangguo, and block the way for Shi Chao and others to flee north." Liu Yu ordered: "The rest of the armies will follow me north to Guangping and exterminate Sima Ying's old army." ”

"No." The crowd answered.

******

When the good news entered Xuchang, Taifu's health was not good again.

He read and read Hu Wufuzhi's military newspaper again and again, and became more and more unhappy in his heart, and secretly decided: This person will be kicked to Yanzhou this year, and let him be a big zhongzheng who plays tricks all day long, and will never enter the court again for the rest of his life.

"Taifu, at this time, you should be quiet." The chief bookkeeper Guo Xiang sat opposite and reminded softly.

Sima Yue sighed and nodded slightly.

If you win a battle, even if you don't like it anymore, you have to pinch your nose and reward it. After all, the forbidden army would not have been dispatched, and Shao Xun led his division out of "kindness". He even brought his private army with him, and no one could accuse him of wrongdoing, and if you treat him harshly at this time, you can't say anything.

"What did Shao Xun do in Qinghe?" Sima Yue asked suddenly.

"According to Liu Qingsun's investigation, he sent money and grain to collect craftsmen." Guo Xiang replied.

Sima Yue snorted coldly.

Shao Xun really didn't even bother to cover it up. It seems that he is not too interested in chasing down the remnants of the enemy, and more wants to take advantage.

"Write a letter to Wang Yan, the military secretary, and say it like this......" Sima Yue cleared his throat, and after dictating it, he asked Sun Hui, who joined the army, to polish and transcribe it, and send it to Luoyang.

After the letter was sent away, Sima Yue only felt weak for a while, and his head was a little dizzy.

After thinking about it, he said: "Tian Zhen, Bo Sheng, and Li Yun came to Xuchang to see Lonely. ”

"No."

"Yecheng has been restored, who is better to town?" Sima Yue asked again.

He didn't trust the sect king's abilities much anymore. What's more, there is no suitable candidate for the king of the sect to leave the town of Yecheng - even if there is, people may not be willing to go.

"Taifu, maybe you can ask the Book King Sikong for advice." In this matter, Guo Xiang did not dare to express his opinion indiscriminately, so he could only push it to Wang Yan.

Sima Yue nodded.

In fact, he has already been chosen: Zhongshu Ling and Yu and Zhongyu, the younger brother of He Qiao, one of the twenty-four friends of Jinguyuan, known as Qinggan.

Celebrities and celebrities may be able to control Yecheng.

"Gou Dao will be over there, don't procrastinate." Sima Yue said: "Since it has been detected that Ji Sangnan has fled to Chiping, he will wave his army south to search for it. After being caught, there is no need to ask for instructions, and the bones are directly crushed and ashes are scattered. ”

"No." Guo Xiang felt a pang in his heart, Taifu was really ruthless to the enemies who killed his younger brother and nephew, and he really held a grudge.

He was a little scared, for the first time he felt that it was not a good thing to be a staff member by Taifu's side, but he was reluctant to give up the wonderful taste of power, and he hesitated for a while.

The letter of Xuchang's "overlord" was delivered to the highest standard, changing horses all the way without changing people, and it was presented to Wang Yan's desk just after nightfall the next day.

Guo Xiang took some personal goods with him, attached some of his new annotations to the Zhuangzi, and sent them over.

After Wang Yan read it, he was noncommittal and handed it to his daughter Wang Huifeng to put away.

Wang Jingfeng sat bored and yawned.

Wang Yan glanced at her with disgust and scolded: "Except for her appearance, she is really useless." ”

Wang Jingfeng didn't know which unwarranted disaster he had suffered, so he was stunned for a while, and his mouth pursed.

Wang Yan turned his head and sighed.

Wang Huifengzai carefully read the letter, and there was no expression on his cold face.

Wang Yan secretly admired, in the end, she was the crown princess, she had a bit of bearing, but unfortunately she was not a man, it was a pity.

"What do you think?" Wang Yan asked.

Wang Huifeng shook his head and said, "My daughter is a woman, how can I participate in major events?" ”

"I'm going to hear what you have to say." Wang Yan said patiently.

Wang Huifeng pondered for a moment and said: "Shao Xun's sharp edge, such as Zhang Fang of the Haofu, overshadows the light of many scholars, which will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of the celebrities of the Yuefu. Taifu himself didn't want to pay Shao Xun again, and it was almost impossible for Tai Shou to take his position. Then, you can only give gold silk rewards and knighthoods. ”

"Hmm." Wang Yan stroked his beard lightly and nodded.

In fact, he felt that Sima Yue was too narrow-minded, which was not conducive to his control. Once someone is hated by him, it is really a chicken feather, and it is too ugly.

Sometimes, Wang Yan wanted to go to Xuchang to give Sima Yue some treatment and let him take it easy.

The old man still wants to rely on you to make a profit, don't mess around.

"To put it fairly, Shao Xun's merits are not up to the county marquis, unless he catches Jisang. But I heard that Ji Sang ran to Chiping, which was where Gou Xi's army was stationed, and this credit must have been missed by him. Therefore, the pavilion marquis and the townsman have reached the top. Wang Huifeng continued: "However, now that the Quartet is troublesome, it may be indiscriminately sealed. Even if Gou Xi catches Jisang, he will seal up to a county marquis at most in the past, but now he can't say for sure, there may be a county marquis. Then, as Shao Xun, who is the second in battle, Feng Tinghou can't say anything. ”

In fact, in the early years of the Dynasty, Du Yu had the merit of destroying Wu Dingce, and he also sealed a county marquis.

Of course, this is normal.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the titles were generally stingy and strict. The further back it goes, the looser it becomes, and in the later period of the dynasty, it is often indiscriminately sealed, and ordinary things are also.

"Hu Wufuzhi said that Shao Xun is a good soldier, what do you think?" Wang Yan asked again.

"My daughter doesn't know anything about the military." Wang Huifeng shook his head and said, "But Shao Xun ran hundreds of miles to attack Liu Qiao, and killed five thousand Xianbei in Chang'an, he is not like such a mediocre person. This attack on Jisang, it is also true that he broke the edge, and his silver spear private soldier should have some combat power. ”

Wang Yan stroked his beard and walked around the room for a long time.

Wang Jingfeng stretched out boredly, and his beautiful figure was undoubtedly revealed.

Wang Huifeng sat quietly, gently fiddling with the letters.

Wang Yan stopped.

To be honest, he was a little moved.

It is still a bit difficult to be powerful in Luoyang, to play with authority, and without the support of troops who can fight.

Taifu doesn't want Shao Xun, can I win it over in private?

He was hesitant about this idea, because Shao Xun seemed to be a bit difficult to control and too domineering.

But his fame in the forbidden army is very loud, Wang Yan saw it with his own eyes.

At the same time, he can also fight and win battles, which is even more rare - I have to say that Shao Xun has struggled for five years, and with his outstanding performance, he has lived a huge united front value, and even Wang Yan began to fight his idea.

"Let's find out the tone of the Taifu first." Wang Yan made up his mind.
