The grassland looks particularly peaceful under the night
This was not the first time that Xu Xun looked up at the stars in a place like this. In fact, when he looked up at the sky like this two years ago, what he thought about was whether he could go home safely and reunite with his relatives.
The great fear between life and death, if he hadn't come up with such a risky plan himself, and had a veteran like Shenying by his side, plus he has always been extremely capable of hiding himself, so no one would be able to detect it.
He is so bold that he has actually been deeply afraid
He was in the enemy's hinterland. If he wasn't careful, he might lose everything and get himself involved. He couldn't help but be afraid. But what he hated was to follow the instructions of others. In the end, he became a pawn who had to control his life and death. So
, he had to fight life and death again and again, struggling to survive and move forward in the narrow cracks. However, now, this situation has finally changed. The person who needs to survive in the cracks is no longer himself, but replaced by
For others, this change really happened quickly
"Sir, all the sentinels have been sent out."
After coming back to his senses, Xu Xun lowered his neck from the upturned position. Then he realized that his neck was sore and painful because he had been looking too intently. He twisted his neck unnaturally. Then he looked at the person in front of him.
Two very old officers, thinking that they had developed the same habits as his own soldiers these days, unknowingly changed their names, he said thoughtfully: "This time it's over, you
Do you two have any plans?"
Mo Feng and Wei Sheng looked at each other. The former hesitated for a moment and then said: "If you need me, I will do my best. If you don't need it, I will open that bookstore. If the imperial court really restores Wang Taifu's title,
The remaining sets of Xiangminji should be able to be sold anyway.”
"Haha, is your wish so small?" Xu Xun couldn't help laughing, and then said thoughtfully, "You were able to publish a book for Taifu Wang together. This kind of intention is really rare for you, you are not young.
, I won’t force you to continue to serve in the army. I’ll pay you 1,500 taels of silver and you can print a few hundred more sets of the book for me. You don’t have to sell it. I’ll take it to the capital later. It’ll be useful. And you, Wei.
It is indeed dangerous to defeat Zhenyuan Pass, but if it can be connected from Zhenyuan Pass to Qingshui Camp in the east, the pressure supply and so on for you will not be so difficult. The output of the farmland below will be high, and you plan to continue to defend it.
That place?"
This was the first time that Xu Xun told the matter directly in front of the two of them. Therefore, Wei Sheng and Mo Feng were stunned at the same time. After all, Wei Sheng had thought about this in his early years. His eyes lit up and he said with surprise and joy: "
What your lord means is that you want to..."
"It's not me who wants to restore the Hetao, but the emperor wants to restore the Hetao."
Xu Xun smiled slightly and saw that Wei Sheng was in tears for a while. He stopped asking Wei Sheng about his plans and patted the veteran's shoulder, then left the two of them until they were far away. He turned around and glanced
, but saw the figures of the two people dragged by the torch. Although they were a little desolate, they were mostly happy that their ambitions had been rewarded. Facing this scene, he thought for a moment, then summoned a soldier and ordered: "Go and tell Lu Hai
Wait for the guards in the Qing Mansion to see me."
When Lu Hai and others entered Xu Xun's tent, many of them still had mottled bloodstains left on their bodies from the previous battle. Although Ding Guang and Zhang Qin were found to be involved with Anhua King Zhu Chixiu, they initially
They were anxious and uneasy, but they did a good job in the subsequent raid, and only paid the price of ten casualties. Xu Xun praised them very much, and their anxious and uneasy hearts were relieved a little.
, I vaguely felt that Xu Xun’s statement about Po Lu Wei was not just talking nonsense.
"I mentioned to you about the Polu Guards before, are you willing to mobilize the guards from King Qing?"….
Although Lu Hai and others successfully escaped from their own guardhouse under the protection of Zhu Taihang's father, Prince Qinggong, and lived a peaceful life in the palace for decades, the royal guard's job was to provide for the elderly. Although the current Prince Qing is not a man of great talent and strategy, he will be relatively easy-going for the rest of his life. But in the future, if his descendants are to work for the Qing Mansion, no matter whether the master is wise or foolish, it is impossible to say that he is completely willing to do so. The reason why they once got close to Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu was because the prince's manners and polite manners made them feel something after they had not seen their master for a long time.
Therefore, after realizing that everyone was looking at him, Lu Hai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Sir, the guards of the royal palace have been handed down from King Qing for many years. They cannot be dismissed if they are innocent. Your Excellency, please borrow from King Qing." It must have been a huge embarrassment for me to wait out, and when it comes to giving credit, I really can’t say how much merit I have made this time..."
"As long as you are willing, I will naturally have my own way."
Xu Xun nodded slightly, but did not immediately ask for their answer: "You might as well go back and think about it carefully. Please be more careful during the night patrol tonight. After all, this Loop is a haunted place. Don't be careless."
"Yes, sir, please rest assured."
That night, everyone was heavily guarded from top to bottom, but Xu Xun, who was sleeping in plain clothes, had a rare and peaceful sleep. When the soldiers pushed him awake early in the morning, he couldn't help but turn over. After complaining for a few words, he suddenly woke up with a start and turned over to sit up. He immediately asked: "What time is it? Also, are Jiang Bin and others back?"
"Sir, it's still early. It's just that time, because Jiang Guerzhi came back, so I had to wake you up."
"Well, it's an important matter, and you did a good job."
When he learned that Jiang Bin was finally back, Xu Xun didn't bother to wash up and straightened his hair casually. He stood up, picked up the gray cloak and put it on his body. He immediately strode out and walked out of the simple military tent. He saw Jiang Bin standing under the still dark sky, with an expression of anxiety mixed with joy on his face.
"Jiang Bin"
"Uncle Ping Bei, I have returned from humble duty." Jiang Bin rushed over in three steps and two steps. Just as he was about to kneel down and salute, he saw a pair of hands holding him tightly. The worry that he had been circling all the way at night was suddenly thrown away. He took a deep breath and then whispered, "Huo Si opened his mouth and said that he can agree to be included, but this kind of thing cannot be said in vain. He must meet the Lord. Of course, the time and place are up to you, Lord."
At this point, Jiang Bin paused for a moment, and then he said calmly: "Huo Sibo originally said that there was a big gift to give to the adults, and it was the daughter of the little prince. As a result, Ulus Boluot immediately jumped up. I had a huge quarrel with him, so the matter didn't end up being a humble job. At that time, I didn't know whether their quarrel was real or fake. Plus, I didn't want to cause trouble, so I didn't dare to get involved rashly. Please forgive me."
Fire Sieve actually planned to give Princess Tululetu to him? Xu Xun almost choked. When Jiang Bin said this, Ulus Boluot firmly opposed it, and he just breathed a sigh of relief. Dayanhan Batumeng Ke has such a daughter, who is said to be a pearl on the grassland. If she falls into the hands of wise people like them, she will have to fight fiercely for the sake of face. Since Urus Borot at least cherishes the relationship between brother and sister. If you love me, you will probably send the person back, so that you can at least have peace for a while.
"Forgive me, I should just pretend to be stupid at this time. If I bring that woman back, it will really be a big trouble. It's great. I can go away safely, come back safely, and bring back such a good news.
, your contribution this time is not small.”
Hearing that Xu Xun didn't care about such a Mongolian princess, Jiang Bin immediately felt relieved - he originally thought that Xu Xun was not lewd, but maybe he wanted to bring the person back to the capital to present to the emperor. Knowing that the most important thing for this achievement was to go to the fire screening
He served as a messenger there, but this one could not be counted as the first of those extraordinary achievements, so he thanked him, but he was still a little unsure in his heart until Xu Xun sent an order to Qiu Yue to lead his troops back to Xingwu Camp to report to Yang Yiqing.
It was only after he led his troops back to Pinglu City that he gave up completely...
It seems impossible to fight another tough battle
Ever since Xu Xun led his troops across the river, General Rongsheng of Pinglu City had been in a state of uncertainty, especially when the imperial supervisor Zhang Yonggonggong from Ningxia City sent a messenger on this day.
But he didn't say anything to him at all, and just stayed in Pinglu City. He became even more uneasy. Fortunately, he was looking forward to the stars and the moon. Not long after noon the next day, he learned that a large wave appeared on the other side of the Yellow River.
His own soldiers and horses were under the banner of Ningxia Town. After he went to the city in person to see it, he recognized the flag language that Xu Xun had informed him before. He immediately sent an order for someone to build a pontoon bridge, and also ordered someone to notify the people sent by Zhang Yong.
that messenger
However, when Xu Xun and his party had just come over from the pontoon, before he could say a word, Zhang Yong's messenger rushed forward. After bowing, he said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Eunuch Zhang
Order your subordinates to send a message."
After presenting a letter to Xu Xun with both hands, he lowered his head and said: "In addition, there is another good news for you to know. Xing'anbo's letter came from the capital. Your wife gave birth to a daughter successfully. Mother and daughter are safe."
Xu Xun was holding the letter and was about to open it and read it immediately. When he heard these words, he immediately raised his head, his face was filled with surprise and joy. The officers around him were all sharp-eyed and alert, and they all congratulated one after another.
They had already received the news, but this time Rongsheng, who was beaten to the punch, hurriedly came forward to express his joy. Xu Xun, who was overjoyed, ordered him to go to the market and buy all the eggs he could buy, making them into a wedding cake.
Danfen sent the soldiers who were accompanying him on this expedition to wait until they sat down at the General's Mansion before he opened Zhang Yong's letter and read it. However, just after he glanced at it, he jumped up in shock.
What kind of tricks is Zhang Yong playing with? This is not how he plays with fire (to be continued)
