Chapter 209.Xia Zhijie
Yang Jue's life has taught countless proud protégés, and among them, Rong Tianyu and Xia Zhijie are the most prominent, but unfortunately because of the Shenhuo case, Rong Tianyu finally encountered misfortune and was personally defeated under the conspiracy, but Xia Zhijie is different, he found some clues very early, and these hidden clues all pointed to himself and the Shenhuo Army behind him, so when he was still young, he chose to leave Yang Jue, who had been teaching him, in the midst of everyone's criticism, and then rode his horse westward alone, until many years later, he came from distant Huizhou, and he was at that timeIt seems to have become an indispensable pillar of the country for Huaxu.
Different from Dahua, Xia Zhijie on Hua Xu's side really realized what it means to respect, from Tian Khan to the people of Li below, everyone admires him very much, not only because he has Yang Jue's exquisite art of war and tactics, but also because he has been praised countless times because of his personality, so he is also very fond of the people of this land and water, even if he is just a kid from Danzhou, but in his heart, Hua Xu has become the only home in his heart。
Over the years, Xia Zhijie has made immortal achievements for Hua Xu, and he has successively recovered many tribes that were originally divided for Hua Xu's imperial court, so that Hua Xu, who was originally scattered, shouted to the world with a new look, and personally pushed Hua Xu, a civilization that almost ceased to exist, to the extent that it can almost be compared with Dahua, so for Xia Zhijie, he is the invincible god of war in the hearts of Hua Xu people, and the belief in Hua Xu people's hearts.
But there is no absolute, because he is too good, which will inevitably make Xia Zhijie always on the cusp, after all, because of his too outstanding achievements, it will inevitably touch the interests of some people, which also makes him extremely uncomfortable, but even as a courtier, then in his heart, Hua Xu's rise is the first priority, not like his senior brother Rong Tianyu blindly following the general trend, and finally ending up with such a tragic ending, so he is mostly disdainful of the conspiracy decisions that are almost painless to him on weekdays, but this time the decision made him feel sad。
The Great Tent of Huaxu in the Gobi Desert.
"General Xia, there are less than eighty miles of land at the moment, we are about to enter the boundary of this Mingdu, the four passes of Huizhou that we occupied before, it didn't take much effort, but this Mingdu has two passes of Longpan and Fengxia, these two passes are not easy to attack, and we have suffered losses in the hands of Zhenxi Houfu back then. ”
A big man with a beard and a beard said with a furrowed brow.
"Yes, General Xia, don't talk about the two passes of Longpan Pass and Fengxia Pass, just say that the nearest Siwu Pass from us at this moment, if we want to take it easily, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, at the moment our army is fighting day after day, although our army has won a big victory, but I can't be happy in my heart, General Xia, you also know, this time in order to be able to take Huizhou in one fell swoop, I have already overdrawn our five-year military rations to the imperial court in advance, but now just from our Yulin incident to the present, our biggest difficulty at present is still in the supply of grain and grass, I am the grain and grass supervisor in the army, and I am quite clear about the rations for this march, I am afraid that we can see from the existing rations, We won't be able to hold out for long in this battle, even if our army is brave again, but if this ration can't keep up, then the time of the rout will be in a moment's rest, not to mention even if we finally forcibly capture Longpan, Fengxia, Siwu Sanguan and Mingdu, we still have to face the reinforcements that Dahua is about to arrive, according to the spies' report, this time Lu Feng's guy is determined to eat us, this time Lu Feng sent Yang Jue to personally supervise the battle, General Xia, do you have better attention to this, now we are really in the situation of burning our eyebrows. ”
Another old man with a slightly pale face reflected anxiously.
"Okay, I see, do you guys have anything else to report to me?"
I saw a middle-aged man with an extremely powerful face sitting in the middle of the tent at this moment, he opened his eyes angrily, just looked at the generals in the tent directly, and then asked seriously, and this person is the person who has been mythologized by the people, Xia Zhijie, the eagle of the desert.
"General Xia, I also have some situations here, and I still need your side to decide. ”
I saw another white-faced general and said:
"Right now, we have been on the expedition for a few months, in order to win the first four levels, the brothers have been fighting with the soldiers of the Dahua Protectorate many times, and most of the weapons of these soldiers are bad in these several sieges, rotten and rotten, when will this imperial court approve the batch of ordnance that I declared to the general last time, General Xia, you see that this sword is curled, and there is no way to fight..."
After the white-faced general finished speaking, he put on a sad face and looked at the middle-aged man who was called General Xia by the generals.
"Humph!"
Hearing this, I saw Xia Zhijie's angry face crawling all over his face in an instant, and then he slapped his palm to the handle of his chair, and then gritted his teeth and said:
"These rats, I, Xia Zhijie, have been marching in armor for 20 years, and it is the first time that I have fought so hotly!"
I saw Xia Zhijie scolding loudly, then looked at the white-faced general who was talking about armor and ordnance just now and continued:
"General Fang, the batch of weapons you mentioned, I have already ordered the herald to hand over the documents I applied for back to the imperial court, and now it is almost more than enough, and if this delay is not approved, there must be rats doing ghosts, you don't have to worry, I will write another book later, and then order someone to return to the imperial court quickly and present it to the Khan in person." ”
After Xia Zhijie explained the doubts of this general, he looked at the old general who raised the issue of grain and grass, and said:
"And General Lin, about the problem of our grain and grass that you just reported to me, according to the order, the Khan has now known our difficulties, and is sending people to step up the collection of available grain in the country, and then will send people to personally press to the front line within a few days, so these days there is still General Laurin is thinking of a way, for everyone to insist on it, this battle is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me Hua Xu, we must not be for these trivial chores, and let us miss the opportunity, General Lin Lao You have also seen, now everyone has difficulties, we still need to overcome it together, and then insist on persevering, and then think of a way。 ”
Xia Zhijie said in a low voice to General Lin of the grain and grass supervisor.
"It's... Ay... Okay, I'll do my best, I just hope that General Xia can urge the Khan side again, otherwise it will be too late when there is no rice to put in the pot..."
I saw that General Lin hesitated, then gritted his teeth and nodded, and then sighed deeply.
Lack of food and grass is a taboo in the march, Xia Zhijie is actually very clear about this, but he is helpless, because in the imperial court, some people have long looked at him unpleasantly, and they have long wanted to put him together, and there are many ministers in charge of the national grain collection, but what better way can he do?
Xia Zhijie didn't, at least for a moment, he couldn't think of a better way to solve the current problem of the shortage of food and grass for the army. Seeing that everyone in the tent was mourning and complaining, he was even more resentful and angry.
"Those rats, we are here to fight bloodily, for my Hua Xu to live and die, and these eunuchs, all kinds of obstacles are simply hateful. ”
After Xia Zhijie finished scolding, he exhaled deeply.
"Report!"
And just when everyone was worried, a herald hurriedly ran in, and then quickly knelt in front of Xia Zhijie and reported loudly.
"Say!"
Xia Zhijie glanced at the herald, and then asked.
"General Xia, General Jiang has arrived, and he is waiting outside the tent at the moment. ”
The herald reported quickly.
After hearing the herald's report, Xia Zhijie was obviously surprised by the news reported by the herald, and then he was instantly overjoyed.
"Great, as soon as Jiang Gen arrives, the breakthrough of this Longpan Second Pass is just around the corner, quickly, you all come out of the account with me to meet Jiang Gen." ”
After Xia Zhijie finished speaking, he took the lead in stepping out.
