Chapter 1088: Civil Strife
"It's a beautiful night over here." Song Sheng asked the guards to lift the curtain of the tent, put the tables and chairs in front of the door, and looked at the starry sky outside while drinking a little wine.
He was drinking, when he suddenly heard someone laugh and said, "General Song, why don't you sleep at night and drink here alone?" ”
"Wei Guogong? I have seen Wei Guogong. Why did you get up at this time? Song Sheng immediately got up and said when he heard this voice.
"I couldn't sleep, I woke up half an hour ago, thinking that I would send troops to fight the camp of the Xilu early tomorrow morning, so I thought about it." Xu Huizu smiled: "General Song, why do you want to be so angry with me? You're older than me, just call me Huizu. Besides, you have made a lot of contributions in this battle, at least you can be crowned an earl, not far from me, and even above me. My title is inherited from my father, but yours earned it yourself. ”
"General Xu, please." Song Sheng ordered the guards to bring another wine glass and a chair and said to him.
Xu Huizu sighed, but he was not humble, sat down and began to drink. He took a sip and said, "Well, this wine is good, but it's a little spicy." ”
"I asked Inuko to bring shochu from the capital. In this place, I always feel that drinking rice wine is not strong enough, so I brew my own soju and drink it, and some merchants sell it to the Western Fan and Mongolians, all of which are five or six times more profitable. Sometimes I drink milk wine made by the Western people, but it is not strong enough. Song Sheng smiled.
"You're in luck. During this expedition to the west, His Majesty strictly forbade soldiers to bring alcohol, and from time to time he sent people to check the wine along the way, and many people's wine was confiscated. Xu Huizu said with a smile.
Song Sheng smiled and didn't speak. It wasn't all luck on his part. At that time, Song Xuan's guard was also found, but Cao Xing put all the wine brought by the guards in his car, and the guards didn't dare to offend Cao Xing, so they asked for three or four bottles of wine and went back to pay for it. Of course, there is also an element of luck, because the guards who come to check the left and right guards of the palace army are all guards, not the imperial history, and if the imperial history is the imperial history, it will not be able to pass the test.
"Today we will send troops to attack the camp of Silu and this acropolis. Xilu did not leave many cannons in the wall and the city, and there were only 50,000 soldiers, so they could be taken down in one fell swoop. ”
"After conquering this place, there will be no Xilu in the entire Yiwu Basin, and although the battle is not over, we can also start preparing for the after-war events." Xu Huizu said.
"Tomorrow, His Royal Highness King Qin will be able to lead the soldiers to come here?" Song Sheng asked. Because of the great losses in defending Yiwu City before, the soldiers under the command of King Qin have not been fighting much during this period of time to cultivate, but it has also made Shang Bing's military exploits less. It was the final battle of besieging the camp in Xiyu, and Xu Huizu decided to let the guards under the command of the King of Qin participate in the battle.
"Yes." Xu Huizu said: "This afternoon, the pigeon has passed a book to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin replied that he has brought troops to come, and he should come here before noon." ”
"That's good." Song Sheng said: "We can't let His Royal Highness King Qin fail this battle. ”
The two of them drank for a while, and Xu Huizu suddenly frowned, as if he was thinking about something. Seeing this, Song Sheng hurriedly said, "General Xu, what's the matter?" ”
"This," Xu Huizu hesitated for a moment and said, "That's it, you will know about this sooner or later." His Majesty made an arrangement. It was intended to take advantage of these captured Western soldiers. He then told Song Sheng about the plan Yun Xi had just made this afternoon.
"Is that okay? So many captives were released as long as they wanted to believe in Buddhism? No way, no way! Song Sheng immediately said excitedly: "It's not that I'm against Your Majesty. How many of our Han people and other people who returned to His Royal Highness King Qin were killed by Xilu all the way before? And drive the people to siege the city? The soldiers hated the Xilu very much, and they wanted to kill them all, so it would definitely not work if they were released like this! Even His Highness can't hold it down. ”
"It's not an immediate release, but you still have to do hard labor to redeem yourself with money. His Majesty plans to build a few cities in the Western Regions, and it is estimated that he will use them to build the cities for labor, and then release them after the cities are completed. Xu Huizu explained.
"That's pretty much it! But the worst of them must be put to death! Song Sheng said.
"Of course the most heinous sinners should be put to death. It's just that you don't think that Your Majesty's plan, um," he wanted to say that he was short-sighted, but he didn't dare to comment on the emperor's plan like this, Xu Huizu couldn't find a more euphemistic word for a while, and he was stuck.
"General Xu, where do you think His Majesty's plan is better to make some changes?" Song Sheng understood what he meant when he saw that he was so entangled, and asked.
Xu Huizu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to express his opinion. It is also a good opportunity to clear your thoughts and prepare for admonishing Yunxi.
But at this moment, a soldier on duty at night suddenly ran out of the tent, saw the general soldier of the army and a deputy general drinking here, and was stunned before saluting and saying: "I have seen General Xu, General Song." ”
"What happened?" When Xu Huizu saw him in such a hurry, he knew that it must be a big deal.
"General Xu, General Song, Xiyu is fighting in his own camp, and the flames are soaring, what should I do?" The man said.
"What? They are all prisoners and dare to make trouble? Guarding them tonight is Chang Jizong's government guards, right? ordered him to suppress it, and after suppressing it, he killed a group of people. Xu Huizu said.
"General Xu, it was not the prisoners of the prisoner camp who made trouble, but the fire in the camp of the western captive that had been surrounded but not yet captured, and the commander felt that it was wrong to send people to investigate, only to find out that they had started a fight. Dare to ask the general how to dispose of it. The soldier on duty said.
"So?" Xu Huizu was surprised at first, but then his face calmed down and said to Song Sheng: "This must be a fight between those who are willing to surrender and those who are unwilling to surrender." ”
"I think so too. What does General Xu think about disposing of it? Song Sheng said.
"Immediately, of course! If they wait for dawn to decide the winner, those who do not want to surrender will win, and there will be casualties if they want to enter the camp; Now the casualties will be minimized. ”
Xu Huizu immediately turned his head and said to the person on duty: "You go and give the order immediately, so that the surrounding guards will enter the camp immediately." Be careful not to hurt your own people. ”
The man was commanded. However, Song Sheng said: "What about His Royal Highness King Qin?" ”
"There are still cities that have not been attacked, let His Royal Highness the King of Qin lead troops to attack the city tomorrow."
Xu Huizu immediately stood up and said to him: "Anyway, I can't sleep, come with me to take a look?" ”
"I don't dare to ask for it." Song Sheng also stood up with a smile and walked out with him.
Xu Huizu did not expect that this seemingly ordinary internal riot would turn things upside down again, and the history of the entire Central Asia would be rewritten again.
