Chapter 180
"Master, where have you been?"
At the crematorium, the big bastard was used to working at night and sleeping during the day. After burning the three corpses, he didn't feel sleepy at all, and kept waiting for Qin He to come back.
Qin He lay on the bed, took out the magical little notebook from his arms, put a check mark behind the line about Wang Laoqi asking for a son in the tailor shop, and then said slowly: "It's a big noisy matter."
"Business?"
The big bastard tilted his head, not sure why.
"It's not nothing to do." Qin He said again.
The big bastard became even more confused after hearing this, and said: "My godfather told me before that I shouldn't meddle in other people's business. There is no benefit in meddling too much."
"Your godfather still teaches you this?" Qin He glanced at him.
"My godfather has lived for more than four hundred years and has a lot of experience." The big bastard said with a confident face.
"Yes, I have quite a lot of experience." Qin He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, paused and asked, "What else does your godfather say?"
"My godfather said that all living beings in this world have their destiny, and meddling in others' affairs is interfering with heaven's secrets, and will be contaminated by cause and effect." The big bastard did not notice anything unusual about Qin He and said casually.
Qin He frowned slightly, "Cause and effect?"
"That's what godfather said." The big bastard nodded.
"Do you understand cause and effect?" Qin He asked.
The big bastard shook his head and said several words without any further information.
Qin He shook his head. His cultivation path was ultimately shallow.
But he didn't hesitate. As the saying goes, if the soldiers come to block it, if the water comes and the soil comes to cover it, it will be solved.
…
At this moment, the Beijing army camp is outside Baoanzhou City.
Gao Qiqian, the eunuch in charge of the army, held a banquet for all the troops.
The emperor issued an order, and the supervisor Gao Qiqian led his troops to the rescue of Baoan Prefecture. He beheaded more than 500 Dilu people for their meritorious service. He was awarded the title of Prince Shaobao and all his generals were rewarded.
This was naturally a celebration banquet. More than a hundred people from the capital camp, big and small, gathered at the banquet, and the scene was very lively.
"My father-in-law plans the strategy to win a thousand miles!"
"Congratulations, Eunuch, the Holy Heart favors you!"
"..."
All the generals were so drunk that their eyes were dim and they raised their glasses frequently.
Gao Qiqian's face was also glowing red, and he refused to accept anyone who came. He was almost unable to sit still.
But in the audience, there was a person who sat upright and looked at the crooked banquet with a worried expression.
This person is Cao Wenzhao's nephew, Cao Wenming.
Cao Wenming was one of the few civil servants among the generals of the Cao family, and was sent to the capital camp by Cao Wenzhao for communication.
Since the Ming Dynasty established the northern defense line, the army has been roughly divided into two parts.
The first group is the border army, which is stationed on nine sides, reaching the front line of the war with the Dilu and Rong tribes. The leaders are mostly Liaodong generals. The second group is the Beijing camp, which belongs to the emperor's personal soldiers and is stationed in the capital. The leaders are mostly supervisors.
Military eunuch.
The two are clearly distinct from each other, wary of each other, and compete with each other.
Cao Wenzhao defeated Di Lu, and Gao Qiqian, who was huddled behind to watch the fire, immediately traveled 800 miles a day and rushed to the front line of Baoan Prefecture. To put it bluntly, he wanted to grab the credit.
It's a pity that he came a little late and shamelessly reported being beheaded for 500 yuan.
If he had come earlier, he would have been beheaded for ten thousand yuan.
Even so, half of the credit for stabilizing the thin-line defense this time was taken away by Gao Qiqian.
Because rushing to rescue was also a credit, the Emperor of Dali was wary of the border troops who had always been disobedient.
But Cao Wenming didn't care at this moment whether it was reasonable for the Beijing camp to share half of the credit. What he was more concerned about was that the 80,000 troops in the Beijing camp were now in an extremely dangerous situation.
Even though he was a civil servant, Cao Wenming was a member of the generals of the Cao family, and he cherished the styles and temperaments of the Dilu generals.
Although Archie is injured, does he really have no ability to fight back?
Di Lu's meticulous work is spread all over Dali, and Brother Aqi definitely knows when the Beijing camp reaches the front line.
And Brother Aqi is famous for his bravery in battle, quick action, and face-to-face toughness. There is probably no opponent in the world.
Xuanfu is only a hundred miles away from here, and the cavalry can reach it in half a day.
More importantly, Aqige's infantry suffered heavy casualties, but the cavalry retained considerable strength.
Before his uncle Cao Wenzhao chased Di Lu's defeated army, he repeatedly warned Cao Wenming to remind Gao Qiqian that Brother Aqi still had the power to counterattack, so he must tighten his camp to prevent Di Lu's counterattack.
However, it had been three days since Gao Qiqian arrived at the gate of Baoan Prefecture, and the camp he had set up was almost useless and was just to fool people.
Tonight the whole army was drunk.
What if Di Lu sent out a surprise force to attack at this time?
With Di Lu's fighting power, it doesn't require too many, a few thousand people is enough.
The uncle on the front line only brought the remaining three thousand cavalry, and there was no way he could completely target Di Lu.
Is that the result?
Thinking of this, Cao Wenming shuddered, and hurriedly raised his hands to Gao Qiqian and said: "Eunuch, I think the banquet is almost over, why don't all the generals return to their camps to prevent Di Lu from raiding."
"Di Lu raids, how is it possible, hahaha~" Gao Qiqian was stunned and laughed.
"Hahaha, that's right."
"Nearly half of the Dilu were killed or injured, and they had no food and grass. How could they make a surprise attack?"
"It's not enough that they are eating people in Xuanzhou City. It's just a joke."
When the generals heard this, they also laughed.
A general slapped the table and said, "If we don't attack Xuanfu, Brother Aqi, even if he burns high incense, still dares to come to Baoan Prefecture, he is seeking death!"
"That's right, we have four battalions of the Beijing army, fifty thousand infantry, and thirty thousand cavalry. Each one of us can drown Archie with just a spit of spit." Some generals agreed.
When Cao Wenming heard this, his face turned red and white, and he had the urge to flip the table.
Gao Qiqian smiled and said: "My dear nephew, you are a civil servant, and you may not know much about military matters. As the saying goes, the troops and horses must go ahead with food and grass before they move. Brother Aqi's preparations for entering the customs this time were insufficient. He suffered a disastrous defeat a few days ago and most of the food and grass were burned. , the day is already in jeopardy, my dear nephew, I can drink with peace of mind, but I won’t come home until I’m drunk today!”
"But father-in-law, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case." Cao Wenming insisted.
"Nephew Cao Xian, don't worry. My father-in-law knows the soldiers. Just keep your heart in your stomach. Come and drink!" Another general brought a glass of wine directly to Cao Wenming.
Cao Wenming had no choice but to pick up the cup and deal with him first.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that the atmosphere tonight was not right and something was going to happen.
This person, sometimes feels surprisingly accurate and does not need too many reasons.
"Rumble..."
No matter what he was afraid of, at this moment, there was a muffled vibration on the ground beneath his feet. It was very slight at first and almost imperceptible, but it soon became clear.
Then a frightened Tanma rushed in and shouted: "The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking! Brother Aqi personally led five thousand cavalry to attack! We are only three miles away from the camp!"
The sound of some shrill reports instantly silenced the banquet, and the muffled vibration that was not obvious at first became extremely clear immediately.
Gao Qiqian was stunned, and the next moment he screamed: "Quick, defend! Defense! Defense!"
"Go back to camp and call everyone out!"
"Hurry! Hurry!"
The generals woke up immediately from the wine and rushed to their respective camps, rolling and crawling.
Chapter completed!
