Chapter 883: The Death of Filial Piety
At the west gate of Jinman County, when Qi Chi sighed and sighed, hundreds of civil officials and generals who came to greet Jia Huan were also unspeakably emotional.
By the time we were this morning, many people had lost hope. And now, before the beginning of the afternoon, what they are waiting for is a hearty victory! Baye Gu Xiaode, who had besieged Jinman County for almost three months, was beaten and fled in panic like a lost dog. There are no more ups and downs in life than this!
And Jia Huan's request for help and the merits of pacifying the North Court, why do you need to say more?
At this time, Hu Chi stepped forward and reminded: "Dashuai, it's not too early. Jia should be invited to the governor's palace for dinner. ”
Qi Chi came out of his emotional emotion and said, "It should be so." ”
Hu Chi bowed to Jia Huan again, and said with a smile: "See you again today, it's like a world away, and your demeanor is better than in the past!" Congratulations! ”
He was very afraid that Jia Huan, a person who kills rich businessmen like cattle and sheep, will ascend to power and govern. However, now that Jia Huan has relieved the siege of Jinman, it is equivalent to saving his life. He is Hu Chi, a generation of big businessmen, rich and rivals the country, don't understand this reason?
He will no longer speak ill of Jia Huan, and he will no longer stand on the opposite side of Jia Huan.
Jia Huan was slightly surprised by Hu Chi's words, which were an attitude of gratitude in estrangement. The perception of him seems to have disappeared. nodded and smiled: "Brother Hu is too famous." "He and King Hu Qian first met in Jiujiang. King Hu Qian is the forerunner of Qi Dashuai and will explore the way to the capital. I don't know how Mr. Longjiang is doing in Jiangnan?
With Hu Chi taking the lead, others stepped forward to greet Jia Huan. This is the heartfelt support and gratitude of the civil and military officials, military and civilian officials of Jinman County. Qi Chi twisted his beard and smiled, not urging, waiting for Jia Huan to finish talking to everyone.
Jia Huan chatted with his colleagues in the Shogunate of the Governor of Qi one by one. When I saw Zeng Jigao, I was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zeng Jigao to go out of the city to greet him, and said politely: "Brother Zeng is good!" ”
He and Zeng Jigao were once known as the shogunate duo. But because of the incident of playing Shule, it was very unpleasant. Zeng Jigao's character is arrogant and self-serving. Of course, Zeng Jigao is indeed very level.
The strategy of the entire Western Regions was planned and operated by him! He was the mastermind of the Governor of Qi. And after the defeat of the Poplar River, he made the most correct decision, and he won today. The army called him "Zeng Junshi". It's a great honor.
Commanding 100,000 troops, competing on the battlefield, defeating the enemy, Zeng Jigao's talent!
He recognized Zeng Jigao's strength. But it will not give in to its temper. It can't be that Zeng Jigao was wrong, so he had a knot with him. He's going to apologize instead, right? Zeng Jigao had a cold relationship with him. Last year, he returned to Qiuzi since Shule, and Zeng Jigao never welcomed him.
Zeng Ji was in his forties, with a slightly short stature and a stiff expression, and he bowed in return, saying: "Brother Jia decided the Beiting in the first battle, and the credit lies in Sheji!" ”
His temper, even if he admires Jia Huan, he won't say it! Since Broken Leaf led his army over 2,000 miles and defeated Hu Cai, what kind of level is this? His admiration is not something to be ashamed of.
Jia Huan laughed. This is to congratulate him. He can roughly grasp Zeng Jigao's psychological state. Feel at ease.
Full of congratulations, not as good as Zeng Jigao's words!
…
…
At the beginning of March, spring has arrived. The ice and snow melt, the earth rejuvenates, and the white clouds and blue sky. The color of the grassland turns green. Vibrant.
After the war, various aftermath work in the three counties of Beiting was carried out in an orderly manner under the organization of the Governor's Office. Treatment, rest, and reward for the army. The people live in peace and the people's livelihood is restored.
In the past few days, every family wore filial piety clothes to bid farewell to their relatives. Even more miserable, entire villages were slaughtered.
After the pacification of the North Garden, the mountain pass leading from the Tianshan Mountains to Gaochang also resumed communication, and a large number of materials were transported by the people from Qiuzi and Gaochang.
The wounds of war in a short time will not heal, but together they are getting better.
But that doesn't mean the atmosphere of war is relaxing! It's just a climax to an epilogue. Shen Qian and Yang Dayan pursued the culprit and did not return to Gu Xiaode. Le Bai led an army of 8,000 people, crossed the desert, and went north out of Shatuo Prefecture, preparing to sweep away 200,000 people from the old camp of the ancient tribe of Baye on the grassland south of Jinshan.
Jia Huan had already sent a letter to Gongyue City, ordering Yang Ji to capture Gongyue City and destroy the Tuqi Shi people. This credit was awarded to Yang Ji by Jia Huan. As a reward for their loyalty.
In the mansion in the west section of the main street of Jinman County, when Jia Huan was dealing with the government affairs of the Broken Leaves and Broken Leaves Chuan area, Qian Huai said outside the study: "Third master, Qi Dashuai sent someone to invite you to discuss things. ”
"Oh?" Jia Huan put down the brush and said, "This is the past for me." ”
He was about to talk to Qi Dashuai, and when Shen Qian came back from arresting Baye Gu Xiaode, he would move the Western Regions Political Secretary and the Governor's Mansion to Broken Leaves! Qiuzi's geographical location determines that it cannot control the vast Western Regions and exert its influence.
…
…
The moon black geese flew high, and fled in the night.
On March 1, Baye Gu Xiaode fled with about 3,000 cavalry from Jinman County, crossed the desert, and fled to the old camp of the Shatuo people, the eastern section of the Ulungu River. He did not flee to the grasslands south of Jinshan. It was easy for Zhou Jun to make a detour and intercept it in advance.
However...
The Zhou army did divide its troops. However, there was a fierce general in the chasing Zhou army, who repeatedly won more with less. The morale of his subordinates, which was originally not high, became more and more depressed. Every night, someone took advantage of the moonlight to escape.
On the sixth day of the first month of March, the night on the grassland is slowly coming. In March, the night is still cold. The deep blue sky, a lonely moon hangs high.
Several bonfires burned. Baye Gu Xiaode sat by the campfire, covered in blood, some of his and some of others. He was skilled in martial arts, and killed many Zhou troops when he rushed into battle. The clothes were in tatters. The fine armor has long been lost. The horses were overwhelmed.
One of the soldiers handed over the water bag, "Chief, you take a saliva." ”
Baye Gu Xiaode didn't seem to hear it, and looked at the fire blankly. Many memories come to mind.
…
…
In the steppe at night, a group of cavalry dressed in red clothes galloped. The sound of hooves was like thunder. A big flag with the word "Shen" fluttered in the wind.
At this time, the sentry in front came back and reported: "General Shen, the team of Baye Gu Xiaode has been found in front. It's at the foot of a hillside forty miles away. ”
Shen Qian raised the silver spear, stopped the marching team, and said, "Rest for half an hour." Two thousand horsemen dismounted and fed their horses to rest.
This pursuit, as long as it is held. The horses they brought with them will definitely be able to catch up with Baye Gu Xiaode. Shen Qian was very cautious, and before the battle, he would definitely let the soldiers maintain sufficient physical strength.
Shen Qian sat on the ground, drinking water, chewing the biscuit food handed by Uncle Xu, looking at the dark blue night sky and chanting: "General Yi Xihuo, this expedition has been here for many years!" ”
Yang Dayan grinned when he heard this. He followed Shen Qian for a long time, and only then did he know that Shen Erye was born in the two rankings. Who can see this?
Shen Qianxing's handsome face, the handsome young general, saw Yang Dayan smiling, and said with a smile: "Big eyes, did Ziyu tell you?" Our goal is not to finish the battle of Beiting, but to fight Mobei and destroy Zhuhu! ”
Yang Dayan is a Tiele person, but Shule returns to Zhou, that is, Zhou Min. Xi Han customs, wearing Han clothes, using Chinese characters, that is, Han people. Yang shook his head and said, "The third master is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, so tell us something." ”
Shen Qian looked up at the starry sky and took a deep breath. Under the whole world, it is not the king's land! On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister! Wherever the Zhou ride goes, it is the Han land. Thousands of years from now, will people remember that he led his troops to fight here?
"Big eyes, I'll see you later."
Yang patted his chest with big eyes.
…
…
Half an hour, just a little fatigue was eliminated, and it passed quickly.
The cavalry of the Zhou army mounted their horses and slaughtered the temporary camp of Baye Guxiaode. Forty miles is not far for cavalry.
In the dark of the night, the war broke out short and intense. Under the protection of his own soldiers, Baye Gu Xiaode escaped again. This time, he only had more than a dozen people left. Yang Dayan led 200 elite Zhou troops and pursued closely.
Dawn is coming. The green grassland is like a green blanket. The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast.
"Phew...!"
Baye Kohyod reined in the horses. The last five guards around him all rushed over and hurriedly came back, "Chief..."
Baye Gu Xiaode was seventeen years old at the time, his blue hufu was in tatters, and his body was tall and full of masculinity. was originally a handsome and beautiful boy, but now it's like walking in the mud. He panted and said, "Run!" The person Zhou Jun wants to kill is me. ”
His horse couldn't hold it anymore.
At the end of one's resources!
On the edge of the sky, the cavalry of the Zhou army was galloping rapidly. It's like it's getting bigger and bigger. Before the guards here could persuade a few words, Yang Dayan had already led his troops to kill.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The five guards of Baye Kotaka fell in response. The Zhou army quickly formed an arc-shaped encirclement.
Yang slowly retracted his bow with big eyes, stationed in the morning breeze, and grinned: "Baye Gu Xiaode, you can't escape!" ”
Baye Gu Xiaode did not make a sound, and silently pulled out the long sword at his waist. He didn't actually understand Yang Dayan's Chinese. However, from the other party's expression, he can understand the other party's meaning. He was already prey.
How many times, he's a hunter! Now it has fallen into such an end and ending. He was not reconciled.
"Drive!" Baye Kotaka urged the horse to step forward and carry out the final fight. He was once king! Never surrender!
Yang Dayan added up the speed of the horse, brandished his mace, and swept with a stick. Baye Ko Xiaode flew out like a rag bag.
The seven-day chase ended.
"Tie it up."
…
…
At about ten o'clock in the morning, Jia Huan arrived at the Governor's Mansion and was led by Qi Chi's old servant to Qi Chi's study. The soldiers, scribes, and slaves he met along the way all bowed, "I've seen Jia Yuanjun!" ”
The study room is exquisitely furnished and elegant. In the corner of the wall, a blue and white porcelain vase contains flowers. The inkstone of the golden beast rests a brush.
Qi Chi was dressed in gray shirt and civilian clothes, and made a gesture with a smile: "Ziyu, please take a seat." As he spoke, he walked out from behind the desk and sat down with Jia Huan on the sandalwood table and chair. The old servant served tea.
Before Qi Chi could speak, when he was greeting Jia Huan, a messenger reported at the door: "Report to the marshal, Jia Envoy, General Shen captured Baye Gu Xiaode alive on the grassland west of Shatuo Prefecture!" ”
Qi Chi was slightly stunned, then laughed, and said approvingly: "Good, good!" ”
Jia Huan also smiled slightly. His order to Shen Qian: If you can capture it alive, try to capture it alive! How many Han people were slaughtered by this person?
Qi Chi twisted his beard and said to Jia Huan in a deep voice: "Ziyu, this person is very angry, and I plan to execute it publicly." What about Ziyu's opinion. ”
Jia Huan agreed, and said succinctly: "Ling Chi." ”
Don't ask why such torture is used. Baye Gu Xiaode, he must end his sinful life in this way! His blood can't wash away the unspeakable sins! Verbal criticism, plant Lian, this is a must!
Remember: Heaven is good, and China has a reason to do it!
