Wu Siyuan and Jiang Xuesong climbed up a nearby hill.
As soon as they stood firm, the two of them turned back to look at the twists and turns of the Hun River behind them, feeling somewhat familiar in each other's eyes.
Crossing this river almost means that the Japanese pirates were once again driven into the sea and the entire country was recovered.
"Is your waist injury okay?" Wu Siyuan asked.
"General, please don't worry," Jiang Xuesong reached out and pressed the bloody bandage around his waist, shaking his head carelessly.
"This subordinate is just a flesh wound, nothing serious. I believe that it will take a few days to recover as before. No matter where the general wants to attack, I will continue to fight and fight, and I will never fall into the trap of the general."
Prestige."
"It's fine." Wu Siyuan nodded.
But in the coming battle, I'm afraid it won't be their turn to take action.
Jiang Xuesong was a general on the front line and was relatively ill-informed, but his responses were by no means slow.
When he saw the general's gloomy expression, he immediately frowned.
"General, did Wangcheng send someone again?"
Wu Siyuan did not answer, but smiled, his plain smile full of sadness.
"It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense."
Jiang Xuesong ignored the wound on his waist and was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed.
"We have been starving and fighting to the death here in the east. We have shed so much blood and died so many brothers. The Royal City behind us has never bothered or cared about it. Now that we have finally driven the enemy into the sea, they hurried over to prepare to squeeze us away and grab us.
Did you achieve victory in battle?"
"It's tolerable, but what can't be tolerated!"
Ah.
Wu Siyuan laughed dryly, "This is not the first time. Why are you so excited? Be careful that the wound will open again."
"General," Jiang Xuesong couldn't help but open his eyes wide, "can you still bear this?"
Wu Siyuan spread his hands freely and said, "Eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor are our duties as ministers."
Confused!
If Jiang Xuesong hadn't reacted quickly, these two words would have almost been spat out in front of Shang Feng.
"General," he looked around a few times, and when he saw no one was around, he quietly lowered his voice.
"We are the only brothers here, so I will tell you the truth. Since the king is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust. Otherwise, after fighting the Japanese pirates, we will go back to Li Chengde and the others..."
Today, the military strength on the east coast accounts for one-third of the entire Baekje. And after these days of fighting, Wu Siyuan's men, from generals to small soldiers, are as good as wolves and tigers.
Comparable.
As long as he is willing to defeat the Japanese pirates and directly return to the court, as long as Yun Chui does not interfere, it is estimated that Baekje will soon change its dynasty and no longer have the surname Li.
Wu Siyuan didn't say anything immediately, but just looked at his beloved general in front of him with a cold look in his eyes.
"The ancients said that thunder, rain, and dew are all due to your kindness. This is what I have learned and believed in since childhood."
"I can treat it as if I haven't heard what you just said. I won't mention it again in the future, otherwise I will be severely punished."
After talking about it, Wu Siyuan's voice became more and more fierce.
"Did you hear me?"
"Yes!" Jiang Xuesong was stunned for a while before finally agreeing.
Wu Siyuan nodded and raised his hand to signal Jiang Xuesong to look at the surrounding scenery.
"look……"
This was originally a fertile wilderness, and the crops grown could feed countless cattle, sheep, and people.
However, after these years of war, everything in front of us is desolate and covered with ditches and ravines used to defend the enemy. At first glance, it looks like the marks carved by the years on the face of an old man.
well.
He sighed softly.
"Personal honor is a small matter, but people's survival is a big deal. Now our country has long been in dire straits. If the war can be over as soon as possible, we should do our best to end it as soon as possible. As for the rest, forget it."
Jiang Xuesong was speechless, but after a while he managed to squeeze out another sentence.
"General, we can let the king let go and let the people recuperate, but have you ever thought about whether the king will let us go?"
Wu Siyuan's body suddenly froze there.
He stood motionless, like a statue.
He didn't know how long it took before he came back to his senses, but he ignored Jiang Xuesong's question.
"Is Zijin back?"
Seeing that the general was avoiding him, Jiang Xuesong could only sigh helplessly.
"Go back to the general. Calculate the distance between this place and Tara Town. As expected, Old Cheng will be back soon."
"Yeah." Wu Siyuan nodded.
Tara Town?
As he read the name of this place, he suddenly felt like laughing.
Tara means yellow grassland in Baekje.
However, Wu Siyuan once studied in Yunchui, and it is said that Tie Lekai Lun, Jiu Tang Nao Ren, and Prince Nan Feng were his classmates.
From Baekje to Xingji City, in addition to taking the waterway of Jinlongtan, the land route usually passes through Jiuyuan Racecourse, which is Jiuyuan County.
In addition, while studying abroad in Xingji City, Wu Siyuan also accompanied Emperor Changxing to the Ruinan Racecourse in Ruinan County for autumn hunting.
Both Guwon Racecourse and Seonan Racecourse are extremely vast, occupying almost an entire county, and can be said to be wider than the entire Baekje Peninsula.
However, they are too embarrassed to say that they are grasslands.
But the small town of Tara over there actually claims to be a grassland.
He is really a frog in the well, I don’t know what to say.
hehe.
Thinking of this, Wu Siyuan gently shook his head.
It would have been okay if he had never left Baekje before him, but after he hit Yunchui, he realized how big the outside world was.
The Baekje in front of me is too small for me.
Just leave it to Li Chengde and the others to play in the well.
Just as I was thinking about it, the clatter of horse hooves sounded.
Cheng Zijin is back.
"I have met the young master." He stepped forward and saluted.
The three of them were all acquaintances, and even when Wu Siyuan was studying abroad in Yunchui, Cheng Zijin had always been his personal guard.
Therefore, he spoke casually in private, and usually called Wu Siyuan a prince instead of a general.
Wu Siyuan nodded and handed over a glass of water, "Just come back. Let's drink some water first."
"Thank you, sir."
After a while, Wu Siyuan asked: "Have you met His Highness Prince Ning in Yunchui?"
Cheng Zijin nodded repeatedly, "Back to the young master, my subordinates met His Highness Prince Ning in person. The process was very smooth. All the Xingluo battalions treated each other with courtesy and did not obstruct my subordinates in any way. However..."
Speaking of this, his face looked a little strange.
"But what?" Jiang Xuesong asked quickly.
He is a big-headed soldier, the kind who never keeps his temper.
hehe.
Cheng Zijin smiled, "When my subordinates saw His Highness Prince Ning, he and a group of military advisors were treating a war horse, which was covered in blood and medicinal powder..."
"horse?"
Wu Siyuan had Ren Ning's detailed information, so he naturally knew his mount.
"The dark horse chases the wind, right? How could it be injured?"
"Sir, it's not a black horse." Cheng Zijin shook his head, "It's a white horse, called Bai Yu. I heard it a few times and it seems to be the mount of Xiao Qianchang, the fifth battalion of Xingluo Forward."
"That's it." Wu Siyuan understood.
He also understands Xiao Gang.
After all, Xiao Zheng guarded Jinlongtan tightly and the capital of Baekje never fell into the hands of Japanese pirates. He can be regarded as having made great contributions.
Hum hum.
Jiang Xuesong sneered. He raised his head and glanced in the direction of the capital, feeling even more unhappy in his heart.
"Damn it, they are all for the king. Why are the differences between people so big?"
One side cares about his subordinates and even their mounts, while the other side never cares about the life and death of his subordinates, and even focuses on grabbing the credit from below...
Wu Siyuan listened, but remained silent. When he raised his head and looked in the direction of Tara Town, his eyes became more determined.
