Chapter 572: General Xue has arrived
It is said that the siege of Haocheng came to an end because of the rainy weather, and I don't know what large-scale siege operations the Batu barbarians outside the city are organizing by taking this opportunity. And in any case, this is also a rare leisure time for General Xue these days.
said that in the general's mansion on this day, General Xue was sitting idle, and this free time made him feel a little unaccustomed. No, he was drinking tea in the military and political hall, listening to Qi Shaojin report on some inconsequential state of the military camp.
"For a while, how do you feel so relaxed, and all of a sudden, it seems like everything has disappeared!" General Xue grumbled while drinking tea.
Qi Shaojin said on the side: "The general has always been worried about the army, and he is used to being busy, so when he is free, he feels uncomfortable!"
"It's feeling very boring, this battle is no longer fighting, Fu Xiaowa is no longer making trouble, this day seems to have become tasteless, by the way, I don't know what Fu Xiaowa is doing now?"
Referring to this Fu Xiaowa, General Xue raised a little spirit, this baby, can do good things and bad things, no matter whether good things or bad events are big things, if he didn't stop Batu from attacking the army last time, I am afraid that the supply of Haocheng has been cut off, saying that this is a great merit, plus the original great merit, it is a merit on merit, and the future is really immeasurable.
But that guy turned around and committed a beheading thing, that is, to kidnap the emperor, can this emperor be hijacked casually, this is not the same as putting a knife on the emperor's neck. Don't say how big an official is, even the prime minister, if you offend the emperor, you will be cut off. At the end of the day, there is no one who can offend the royal family. Fortunately, it was His Royal Highness that said please save it. Now he is relegated to a stunned soldier scum, and I don't know where to stay.
Qi Shaojin sighed: "This person is a genius who leads the troops, only a few days of soldiers, he brought a group of remnants of the soldiers to scream, one by one loyal and followed to the soup to fight the fire, with this ability, it is easy to have a place in the army, saying that that day, if it wasn't for Fu Xiaowa kidnapping the emperor and stopping us, I'm afraid that more than 20,000 of us we." It's all going to be buried there!"
"Are those brutes really that strong?" General Xue has been busy with military affairs these days. I haven't heard about that battle in detail.
"It's because Ling Xiang has enough cavalry, and with more than 20,000 of our soldiers, there is a completely sufficient advantage, so that those barbarians are vulnerable. If you really want to fight. More than 20,000 of us will surely be defeated!"
This Qi Shaojin was brought up by General Xue. Qi Shaojin knew very well, and General Xue knew that Qi Shaojin didn't like to talk big or lie. As long as he says it, it is nine points reliable.
After thinking about it, General Xue's face changed greatly: "Then, if you are defeated, the Third Highness and the prince will fall into the hands of these attackers, and the consequences will be even more unimaginable!!"
"Although I don't dare to imagine it, but when I think about it, the last general has to admit that if we went there at that time, then I'm afraid the consequences would really be so strict!" Qi Shaojin said with a solemn face: "Said yes, this Fu Xiaowa is a great wrongful crime!"
General Xue sighed and said: "Alas, it doesn't matter if you are wronged, it doesn't matter if you are not wronged, anyway, it is a big crime to hijack the prince, and it is useless to pursue it now!"
Qi Shaojin said: "The subordinates are just talking, it's good that he hasn't been beheaded anyway, no matter where he is, in the Yuan family or the Xue family, he can always find his own way to appear!"
"What I'm saying is, I don't know what he's doing in the Yuan family, speaking of the Yuan family, I don't know what Yuan Qing's sour scholar is doing for a while, since the siege battle, he hasn't shown up, where is it a little like he is going to come to coerce Haocheng, anyway, there are not many more of him, and less of him!" General Xue said with some indignation.
Qi Shaojin said: "I heard from the spies that General Yuan Qing has been running to the mountains north of the military camp in the past two days, and he doesn't know what he is doing, so he mysteriously took his son Yuan Wenhua to go again early in the morning!"
General Xue was also curious, thinking that Yuan Qing was playing some kind of trick, and the more he guessed, the more he felt like a cat scratching. He doesn't have a few rivals in his life, this Yuan Qing is not even one, speaking of which, he still cares about Yuan Qing's whereabouts very much, otherwise he would not send spies to pay attention to Yuan Qing's movements.
He thought to himself that this idle is also idle, it is better to go to the barracks, and under the pretext of going to inspect and have a chance encounter with Yuan Qing, to see what tricks he is playing.
Thinking of this, he said to Qi Shaojin below: "You pack your things, prepare the carriage, and prepare to go to the barracks!"
Qi Shaojin was stunned.
In other words, the weather on this day was better than yesterday, the rain stopped, but the sky was overcast and the ground was still very muddy.
When I came to the barracks on a muddy road, the horses were covered in mud, and even the carriages were stained with mud. The carriage went all the way to the mountains, and the barracks were next to the mountains, and it was a short time away.
Seeing that there are mud footprints everywhere on the gentle soil slope on the edge of this mountainous area, I know at a glance that this place has been trampled many times before it becomes such a muddy ground, and now it is difficult to find a place to stay when getting off the carriage.
Seeing that on the bare hillside, a cowhide canopy was very eye-catching, and from a distance, you could see what Yuan Qing and his generals were busy on the sand table. As the carriage approached, General Xue and Qi Shaojin jumped down from the carriage, stepped on the muddy hillside, and walked towards the cowhide tent.
