Chapter 514: Drums and Flutes Dance 2
Under the first battle, Mo Yuwei was caught off guard by a sneak attack successfully, 500,000 iron cavalry were like entering a no-man's land, the rejection horse in front of the camp was directly broken by the iron hooves of Tianma, after the soldiers rushed into the camp, there were still many Mo Yuwei who didn't know what was going on, even if they knew the opponent's attack in a hurry, it was too late to counterattack.
In this battle, the loss of the Mo Yu Guard was very serious, not only the Mo Yu Wei who came to transport the baggage lost a lot, but the original Mo Yu Wei died a lot.
Back in the city, Wu Qiutian ignored the people around him, but had been waiting for Tong Mo, who had returned with his troops.
500,000 versus millions, such a battle is not something that ordinary generals can take.
After Tong Mo returned, the battle situation was basically stable, the Praetorian Guards lost 300,000 horses, and many people were seriously injured.
Wu Qiutian reported the situation to the Hou Mansion for the first time, and then tried to get the benefits from the hands of the chief steward Mu Suiyu, which was the honor that those dead soldiers should have, as the main general, Wu Qiutian had the responsibility and obligation to ask for credit for them.
After going to see the soldiers who were resting and encouraged, Wu Qiutian called Sun Yishan, Zhang Chao and others over, and said straight to the point: "This time I brought two million soldiers out from the Hou Mansion, although I didn't let you participate in the battle this time, but you and Tong Mo are both Pao Ze brothers, I have already reported the situation to the chief steward, the chief steward may ask you about the actual situation, I hope you can help Tong Mo talk at that time." ”
Zhang Chao said with a smile: "What the general said, his subordinates will naturally obey their fate, Mo said that Tong Mo's army lost a lot of people this time, but it didn't lose so many people, and we won't tear it down ourselves." ”
Sun Yishan frowned and didn't speak, he is an honest man, so although he is an old qualification in the army, he is the kind of old qualification that does not enter the oil and salt, and the reason why he has not been able to improve his status is that he is not very good at being a man.
He has an upright temperament, what to say, offended Dan Qiusheng, the commander of the forbidden army, if it weren't for the fact that he really had a set of leading troops, I was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to keep the position of the vanguard general of the forbidden army.
Wu Qiutian looked at Sun Yishan: "General Sun, what do you think?"
Sun Yishan said: "If the chief steward asks, his subordinates will naturally know everything and say everything. ”
Zhang Chao quietly pushed Sun Yishan with his elbow: "General Tong Mo killed the enemy bravely, and the great general Wu Qiutian commanded well, Old Sun, don't tell the chief steward about those bloody things, if you don't know how to report, according to me, report to the chief steward." ”
Wu Qiutian waved his hand: "Zhang Chao, you don't need to teach him how to speak, the chief steward is not stupid, if we say the same thing, it will only make the chief steward feel that we are not trustworthy." Sun Yishan, I'll tell you clearly! This time, all of you have all kinds of reluctance in your hearts, and I don't want to hold you accountable today, but I want to take credit for those dead brothers. Wu Qiutian has no merit of size, and this war was able to achieve a small victory, entirely because Tong Mo led his soldiers to fight to the death, of course, several of you have also contributed a lot, I mean, do you understand?"
Sun Yishan didn't speak, he naturally understood, and he also knew that Wu Qiutian was for their good, but he always felt that it was a bad thing to deceive Hou Ye, and he couldn't say how bad it was.
Wu Qiutian didn't speak, just looked at him.
Honest people sometimes make people anxious, because honest people always can't turn around, he doesn't have any opinions on Sun Yishan, but likes the honesty of this honest man most of the time, but now this kind of honesty is not what he wants.
Under the forced gaze, Sun Yishan finally nodded reluctantly.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Mu Suiyu to find a few people with the sound transmission jade plate, and after asking about the situation, he specially asked Sun Yishan if Wu Qiutian had any explanation.
This time, Sun Yishan was finally smarter, and he insisted that the general didn't say anything, and he also wanted to capture traces to help Wu Qiutian speak, but he didn't say it in the end, because he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, and in the end it would backfire.
Mo Yuwei experienced a big defeat, Mo Zhai was in a very bad mood, and after informing Mo Cangqiong of the news, the emperor was furious, and within a few days, an envoy came to Mo Yuwei's current camp with the token seal of Mo Cangqiong.
Half a month passed, a mysterious man shrouded in armor came to the Mo Yuwei camp with the jade plate of the ink firmament in his hand, walked straight to the camp of the Demon Emperor, and jumped Mo Zhai who was in front of the table.
As soon as he saw the jade plate, Mo Zhai knelt down on one knee: "I've seen my lord." ”
"Mo Zhai, tens of millions of Mo Yuwei lost eighty percent of the battle, are you guilty?" came a woman's cold voice from the armor.
Mo Zhai was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the person sent by the Great Emperor Mo Cangqiong turned out to be a woman.
The woman's voice was very good, but Mo Zhai was not in the mood to enjoy this wonderful voice at this time, because he knew that what he was about to face was the punishment of the Great Emperor.
"Mo Zhai confesses!" he didn't dare to have the slightest rebuttal mind, and he might be able to get a chance to atone for his sins by honestly admitting his guilt.
The mysterious man in the armor raised his hand, walked to the main seat and sat down: "As the deputy commander of Mo Yuwei, can't you even take a small Pingyang City?" Xue Wei, the guard of Pingyang City, is just an old guy, and you have no ability to deal with him, don't you want to do it?"
Mo Zhai was indeed a little ashamed of this, he felt guilty for losing so many troops.
However, he boldly raised his head and said, "My lord, the guard of Pingyang City this time is not Xue Wei at all, but Wu Qiutian, whose reputation has spread across the six continents. On the first day he came, he beheaded more than 300 members of Xue Wei's family, Xue Wei and his son were greedy for a lot of money, and the people of Pingyang City hated their father and son. This Wu Qiutian's methods are really good, some time ago he attacked Pingyang City, but he didn't expect Wu Qiutian to come to a counter-raid. The subordinates are stupid, and this is the way of the other party. ”
The woman in the armor suddenly took off her peep, revealing a beautiful face, and frowned slightly: "Wu Qiutian, it turned out to be a think-tank type figure in his Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion, second only to Mu Suiyu, in this case, you will not be unjust if you lose this battle." ”
Mo Zhai was stunned at first sight, but unfortunately he didn't dare to let himself look at it anymore, the identity of the woman in front of him made him dare not look at it more.
The woman continued: "Since this is the case, your intelligence is not enough to be comparable to Wu Qiutian, from today onwards, the entire Moyuwei camp will be under my command, I want to see if this Wu Qiutian is as smart as the legend says." ”
Mo Zhai could only nod, it was not a big problem to hand over the military power, what he was most afraid of was that he would be transferred, and he had to know the position of the deputy commander of Mo Yuwei, but there were many people staring at it.
The Great Emperor is not alone with the Great Commander, in addition to the Great Commander, there are many people who want to insert people into Mo Yuwei, and even the Great Emperor himself turns a blind eye to these things.
"Please also ask your subordinates to give a chance to atone for their sins, and your subordinates will definitely bring back the head of Wu Qiutian's Xiang to pay tribute to the dead souls of the brothers. Mo Zhai swore authentically.
The woman smiled like a flower: "This is not necessary, if that kind of smart person can be used by me, it will be the blessing of my Great Xia, don't kill it first, and only those who can't be used by me should be killed." ”
Mo Zhai nodded, and immediately went out to arrange a place for the woman and the two maids to stay.
It was the messenger who came, not to mention the identity of this woman, just by virtue of the fact that she was holding the token of Mo Cangqiong, it was enough for Mo Zhai to pack a new tent for this woman to live in.
Early in the morning of the second day, the woman found Mo Zhai and said: "You are now on strict precautions in the camp, I will go out, I am not very good at leading the troops, and you still have to do the work of leading the troops, but you have to remember to be on guard at any time, not to let your people play there." ”
After saying it very politely, the woman left.
Mo Zhai didn't know where she went, only that this woman was going in the direction of Pingyang City.
Wu Qiutian was looking at the clouds in the sky in the General's Mansion, enjoying the scorching sun, when the little guy suddenly ran over out of breath, grabbed the teapot on the table and poured a few sips of water and said, "General, someone outside is looking for you, saying that it is your old friend." ”
This kid's performance was very rude, and Wu Qiutian didn't want to say anything, after all, they were all newly recruited from the General's Mansion, and they were just Xiaomin who didn't know what the rules were.
Seeing that there was some eagerness in the little guy's eyes, Wu Qiutian couldn't help but ask: "What old people? I am in Pingyang City, and there seems to be no old people." ”
"Girl, a very beautiful girl with two pretty girls. The little guy's eyes obviously said, don't pretend, general, everyone is a man, why pretend.
Many of the subordinates in the mansion had great respect for Wu Qiutian, because they felt that it was difficult to find such a young general who was so capable and cared about his subordinates.
Some people even proposed to join the Praetorian Guard, the rules of the Praetorian Guard are very strict, and it is impossible for ordinary people to become a member of the Praetorian Guard, so Wu Qiutian did not agree, but only promised to let these young people with enthusiasm be able to join the defender array of Pingyang City in the future.
Wu Qiutian not only snorted: "I said why are you so anxious, it turns out that you have seen beautiful girls, okay, let them in!" General Ben also wants to see what the woman who can make Li Xiaoer's heart beat faster is what it looks like." ”
Not long after, the little maid led several women in, the first girl, dressed in a green cloud dress, and her snow-white wrists were exposed to the air, looking very feminine.
Not only the little guy, but also Wu Qiutian's casual glance, they all looked a little sluggish, and their lower bodies were hot, and they couldn't wait to get rid of their clothes and pounce on this woman to enjoy themselves.
Not long after this thought arose, he forcibly suppressed it, and silently recited the spell of the soul suppression technique to slowly calm his state of mind.
The woman walked up to Wu Qiutian and said a blessing: "The little woman has seen the general." ”
