Chapter 869 [868] [No one in the world knows you]
Chapter 869 868 [Who in the world doesn’t know you]
The next day, outside Puqi City.
The wind howls and the flags fly.
Thousands of cavalry slowly left the city. Their military appearance was still solemn and the air of killing was permeated, but the expressions of the soldiers were all gloomy. This situation rarely happened to the Zangfeng Guards. From the day they formed the army in Lingzhou, they
They always maintain high morale. Strict military discipline will not dampen the fighting spirit of this cavalry. One victory after another has given them an invincible and strong temperament.
However, since some time ago, the Zangfeng Guards and even the Beiwei Camp have become angry and disappointed.
Tang Linfen has been comforting his subordinates these days, but even he himself can't figure out what those people in Kyoto are thinking.
They followed Pei Yue across the vast land on the south bank and made great contributions to the court. However, after they achieved a decisive victory in the war and then used negotiations to seek greater results, the Marquis they respected the most was killed by a civil servant.
Taking his place, this made the simple and resigned Lingzhou son furious.
The comfort from Tang Linfen and others seemed to have no effect. In fact, to a certain extent, they were condoning the intensification of those emotions. As Pei Yue's die-hard confidants, these generals looked further ahead. The emperor's move obviously represented the consequences for the DPRK and the Central Government.
The situation that Pei Yue will face will definitely not be easy and comfortable, so what they have to do is to let the people below understand the injustice suffered by the coach.
There is no need to do anything, but it is necessary to remain angry.
The Zangfeng Guards were the front team, and the Beiwei Camp was behind. In the middle were the envoys composed of Princess Qinghe of the Southern Zhou Dynasty and officials from the Ministry of Rites of Daliang. Pei Yue was guarding two carriages and stayed among the Beiwei Camp team.
middle.
Pei Yue looked at the elite cavalry on the left and right and said with a smile: "What are you doing with all these sad faces?"
An old Nanying soldier who had followed him for a long time and experienced the Battle of Qishan Chong said bluntly: "Master Hou, this is not fair!"
Pei Yue said indifferently: "What's unfair?"
The old soldier said angrily: "In this battle, we relied on the Marquis's strategy and charge, so that we could defeat the more than 100,000 troops of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Without the Marquis's hard planning, they could not even defend Jiangling. In the end, the Marquis paid so much, but the credit is
It’s someone else’s, that’s unfair!”
Other veterans nearby nodded vigorously, but because of strict military discipline, they did not make any noise.
Pei Yue looked at the undisguised anger and unwillingness on the old soldier's face and said slowly: "I admit that such a result will indeed make me feel uncomfortable."
He was surrounded by his staunchest supporters, so Pei Yue made no pretense.
The veterans were still very angry, but they looked at the coach with a little more emotion. Even though Pei Yue was now a first-class prince, he still would not be as domineering as some martial artists. On the contrary, he would be the same as before.
These old soldiers regarded them as brothers. Most of the soldiers had not read a few books and could not speak the words reported by the national soldiers, but they could understand the sincerity in Pei Yue's words.
Everyone waited quietly.
Pei Yue continued: "To be honest with you, when the Jiangling Incident happened, I never thought about getting promoted to an official position. I just didn't want our comrades to die tragically under the enemy's sword. I'm very sure you thought the same way, so
Only then are you willing to follow me through life and death. Regardless of those big principles, people have to make simple and direct decisions in life. How can you consider how much benefit you can get in everything, right?"
The anger on everyone's faces gradually faded away, and the old soldier sighed: "What the Marquis said is right, but I still don't feel worthy for the Marquis, and I don't know what I can do to help the Marquis."
Pei Yue smiled and said frankly: "Practice carefully, this is the best way to help me. As long as you are strong enough, if others want to bully me, they have to worry about your mood."
What he said was funny, and the veterans laughed a little sheepishly, and the anger in their hearts gradually turned into another kind of perseverance.
In the carriage that was driving smoothly, Gu Zhen listened to the talk outside, with a touch of tenderness in her eyebrows.
Seeing this, Ye Qi joked: "Sister Zhen'er, do you want me to call him in so that you can avoid seeing him but not being able to see him?"
A shy smile appeared on Gu Zhen's face, and then she counterattacked softly: "Sister Ye, did you sleep well last night?"
Ye Qi was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, you actually spied on me."
Gu Zhen quickly shook her head and said, "No, little sister, it was Taohua who told her. She said that Brother Pei quietly told her."
Ye Qi's cheeks turned red, remembering that the guy sneaked into his room in the middle of the night last night. If it weren't for his bad mood, he would definitely kick him out, huh!
The two were laughing and joking for a while, and suddenly they heard a noise coming from outside the carriage, and then the carriage stopped.
Gu Zhen looked at her with some worry, and Ye Qi said with relief: "It's okay, I'll go out and take a look."
When she opened the car door and stood on the shaft of the car, looking back, she couldn't help but be slightly startled.
I saw several horses galloping towards me, shouting along the road: "Marquis Pei! Marquis Pei!"
Pei Yue recognized that the leading knight was the leader of the personal soldiers of Guo Xing, Marquis of Gongcheng, and was a little surprised because he had told Guo Xing yesterday that the war on the south bank was not yet completely over, and they talked about the most critical moment, so there was no need to go to all the trouble to send him off.
The leader of the soldiers came forward, raised his hands and saluted on his horse, and said: "My Lord Marquis asked this villain to come and deliver the message. Please also ask Marquis Pei to wait for a moment."
Pei Yue asked in confusion: "What does General Guo mean?"
The leader of the soldiers looked at Pei Yue with reverence and said loudly: "My Lord Marquis said that Pei Hou turned the tide this time and set an example for all the border soldiers. He is also a great hero in the hearts of the people in the southern border. Now.
It is the noble character of Marquis Pei to retire regardless of gains and losses after success, but we cannot turn a blind eye."
He paused for a moment and shouted with all his strength: "Today, the whole city is sending you messages. It has nothing to do with fame and wealth, it's all about people's wishes!"
Before he finished speaking, hundreds of war flags were erected on the Puqi city wall a mile away. More than ten knights rushed out of the opened city gate, followed by countless soldiers and even their families.
The people in the city at the mouth.
Pei Yue looked solemn and rode his horse to the back of the team.
Looking up, I saw familiar faces appearing in my sight.
The head coach of Zhennan Camp, Gongcheng Hou Guo Xing.
The head coach of Changping Camp, Pudinghou Chen Huan.
Jiangling City Guardsman, Baoding Bo Cai Qian.
Gu Jie, Gu Fan, Li Jin and more than ten commanders.
Except for the generals such as Gu Cang who had to stay at the garrison, all the regular military officers who participated in the Battle of Jiangling and the Battle of Hanyang came from all over the place and gathered here just to see Pei Yue off.
When they were more than twenty feet apart, everyone dismounted and looked at Pei Yue with smiles on their faces.
Pei Yue jumped off his horse, and thousands of elite cavalry behind him stood in awe.
Looking at the soldiers and civilians who appeared outside the city, Pei Yue's soldiers seemed to suddenly understand the true meaning of their coach's previous words, and everyone puffed up their chests in unison.
The biting wind howled by.
The old voice of Guo Xing, who was over fifty years old, sounded like a war drum.
"We are here today just to see off Marquis Pei!"
Sonorous sounds burst out from everyone's chests, resounding throughout the world from near to far.
"Farewell to Marquis Pei!"
"Farewell to Marquis Pei!"
"Farewell to Marquis Pei!"
Looking at these excited and sincere faces, Pei Yue's thoughts surged in his chest.
He bowed and said softly to himself: "Thank you."
Everyone returned the gift in unison.
Pei Yue looked over one by one, memorizing everyone's faces, then turned around and mounted his horse, heading north.
It is a return journey and a journey.
Let’s look at the alliance leaders who have added more updates~!
