Chapter 689: Coward
Xiao Huaiyu!
It's a magical name, and it's a name that rings all over the world.
This name made the people of Yan full of awe and a sense of security, but it made the people of Wei and Qing restless and fearful.
is such a person, with his own strength, supported the border defense of Yan State, and ensured that the Li people of Yan State were not trampled on by foreign enemies, and it was this person who has been sitting at the border for more than ten years, so that foreign enemies dare not peep into the land of Yan State.
Han Mo's eyes lit up, and almost at the same time, he and Cao Yin turned over and dismounted, and the members of the mission behind him also dismounted.
Xiao Huaiyu saluted and stood up straight.
His physique looked ordinary, not stout, and even a little thin, but this thin figure, standing there, gave people a sense of calmness like a mountain.
His skin was dark, but the bridge of his nose was very straight, his eyebrows were thick, and his eyes were bright and energetic.
The contours of his face are angular, giving a sense of fortitude but calmness.
This is Xiao Huaiyu!!
This is the god of war!
This is the Tiger of the East!
……
Cao Yin had already stepped forward, supported Xiao Huaiyu, and said warmly: "How can the general personally greet him?" Your military affairs are heavy, how can Benhou work to welcome you personally. Don't be polite, don't be polite! ”
Xiao Huaiyu's resolute face was very respectful, and said: "Hou Ye and the mission have been on the road continuously, all the way has been hard, the camp has already been properly arranged, Hou Ye will rest with you for the time being." It's getting late, and tomorrow I will wash the dust for Hou Ye and you. ”
Cao Yin smiled: "There is General Lao!" ”
Xiao Huaiyu turned his head, looked at Han Mo beside Cao Yin, and smiled gently: "This is Han Mo Han's deputy envoy, right?" This time, you escorted the mission, returned triumphantly, worked hard, worked hard! ”
When he said this, it was like a spring breeze, which made Han Mo's heart warm, and he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Han Mo has seen the general!" ”
Xiao Huaiyu said with a smile: "Don't say much, enter the customs and rest!" ”
At that moment, Xiao Huaiyu and his subordinates entered Linyang Pass with the mission, and after more than ten miles of travel, it was the Linyang Pass garrison of the Northwest Army, where the camp tent had already been set up for the mission.
Han Mo ordered the captured Wei scouts to be secretly handed over to the Northwest Army, and although the Northwest Army was a little surprised, they still happily accepted more than a dozen Wei scouts.
After eating the food, the mission went into the camp to rest.
Including Han Mo, the whole mission marched rapidly for days, and it was indeed tired, but when he returned to his own land this time, he was relieved and slept peacefully.
When Han Mo woke up the next day, he only felt energetic, and he rested overnight, but he dispelled all the fatigue.
After leaving the camp, I looked around, and then I saw the continuous northwest military camp, with pennants waving, and the sound of cheering and fighting from time to time, which was the northwest soldiers in training.
When he arrived at the red-sleeved tent, the dark officials had already washed her, and she was sitting on the couch at this time, and the dark officials were drinking porridge for her.
Han Mo stepped forward, took the porridge bowl, and came to feed it in person, and after the dark officials went out, Red Sleeves asked, "Brother, how long will it take for us to go home?" When I get home, can I see my grandfather? ”
Han Mo smiled gently and said, "If grandpa is at home, he can naturally see it." Merely...... He has a lot of affairs, and he doesn't know if he is at home. Seeing that Red Sleeves showed disappointment, he hurriedly said: "But there are still sisters and sisters at home, they must be looking forward to your return." ”
Red Sleeves was silent for a while, and said with some distress: "Why don't I remember these things?" I can't remember that I still have sisters and sisters. ”
Han Mo comforted: "Mo Duo thinks, rest well, and when the illness is cured, everything can be remembered." ”
It's just that Han Mo is really a little conflicted in his heart, he doesn't know whether he wants this girl to remember those dark things in the past and return to the West Flower Hall to continue such a dark life, or to forget the past and start other lives again under his own arrangement.
He frowned, groaning.
Seeing that Han Mo didn't move, Red Sleeves said softly, "Brother, you ...... What's wrong? ”
Han Mo let out an "oh", came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Do you want to see the sea?" ”
"The sea?" The bright eyes of the red sleeves looked at Han Mo with doubts, obviously the word "sea" seemed very unfamiliar in her mind.
"As far as the eye can see, it's all clear water." Han Mo fed Red Sleeves a mouthful of porridge, and said softly: "There is a big ship on the sea, and there are beautiful birds flying on the sea......!" ”
Redsleeves' eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Then when are we going?" ”
Han Mo smiled and said, "When your body recovers, you will definitely be allowed to see the sea." ”
After feeding the rice porridge, under the pitiful pleading of the red sleeves, Han Mo told her a short story, and after persuading her to rest, she came out of the tent, the morning air was refreshing, and the rising sun was also unusually bright.
Han Mo looked into the distance, countless flags were flying in the air, and the continuous sound of weapons in the barracks was endless, and he could clearly hear the reprimands of many generals.
A royal forest guard Pegasus came over, turned over and dismounted, and said: "General, the Hou Ye ordered to come down, rest at the border pass for a day, and set off tomorrow to return to Beijing!" ”
"Where is Master Hou now?"
"The general is accompanying Hou Ye to inspect the barracks." The royal forest guard said: "Master Hou ordered, if the general is resting, he can go to the barracks to observe!" ”
Han Mo naturally would not miss such an opportunity, and being able to see the training status of the Northwest Army under Xiao Huaiyu was naturally something he couldn't ask for.
……
In the depths of the northwest military camp, Xiao Huaiyu was still dressed in military uniform, his expression was calm, and he was accompanying Cao Yin with more than a dozen generals to inspect the camp, and Wu Tianshao, the chief soldier of Linyang Pass, was naturally among them.
Riding through several camps, Cao Yin finally sighed lightly: "The general is well-trained, my northwest son is brave and strong, and there is a general guarding in the northwest, I have no worries!" ”
Xiao Huaiyu said calmly: "The soldiers use their lives to ensure the peace of my Dayan frontier, and the generals will not dare to take credit!" ”
Cao Yin smiled and said, "The generals have always been like this, although they have made outstanding contributions, they have never been willing to admit that they have merits. Looking at the rolling northwest military camp, he finally asked: "How many soldiers and horses have been gathered on the front line of Linyang County now?" ”
The Northwest Army guarded the northern line of the entire Yan Kingdom, from the Zhuanshui Pass in Wu County to the Linyang Pass in Linyang County, a border line of thousands of miles, six passes, and a total of 120,000 Northwest soldiers were stationed.
The strength of the border line, but it is not evenly distributed, Linyang County faces the most important Nanyang County in Qingguo, which is a strategic place, and the garrison is naturally more, in Linyang Pass, the normal number of garrisons remains at about 30,000 people, accounting for a quarter of the total strength of the Northwest Army, and Wu Tianshao, the general soldier of Linyang County, is also the first fierce general under Xiao Huaiyu, Xiao Huaiyu personally promoted from between the ranks, among the six general soldiers, power and influence are in the first place, and it is also the second military figure in the Northwest Military after Xiao Huaiyu.
The Northwest Army has to be mobilized, and Yanjing City has never asked, and almost all the transfers are in Xiao Huaiyu's hands.
It is precisely because the Northwest Army is in Xiao Huaiyu's hands that the Xiao family, which does not occupy much land and is not rich in resources, can be in the first place among the Yan family.
Xiao Huaiyu single-handedly controls the military power, before this, there are naturally countless people who are worried, after all, with such a powerful army, the military power in Xiao Huaiyu's hands is too terrifying.
However, since Xiao Huaiyu became the Tianwei general of the Northwest Army, he has devoted himself to protecting the land and defending the territory, training the army, and in order to reduce the pressure on the country, he has reclaimed wasteland at the border pass, planted grain and wheat, and the army has a forging place and a livestock camp, doing his best to be self-sufficient, and has never had the slightest disrespect to the imperial court.
For more than ten years, the entire Yan Kingdom admires Xiao Huaiyu's character, whether they love him or fear him, from the bottom of their hearts.
The most important thing is that everyone knows that the safety of Yan Guo is all related to Xiao Huaiyu, and only this famous general can protect the safety of Yan Guo when he sits at the border.
Cao Yin looked at the undulating military camp from afar at this time, but he also estimated that there were far more than 30,000 soldiers stationed in Linyang County now.
Xiao Huaiyu listened to Cao Yin's question, and replied: "The last general has secretly transferred 20,000 people from the eastern front line recently, and the troops here are already about 50,000!" ”
Cao Yin nodded and said, "The general is wise." Although I Dayan did not participate in this battle of Weiqing, I ...... It is indispensable to guard against others, and we still have to take precautions as early as possible. ”
"Even if we form an alliance with Qingguo, it is stipulated in the covenant that the Northwest Army of our Yan State will contain the Cang cavalry of Wei State a little, and we still have to do such an alliance." Xiao Huaiyu pondered for a moment before he said unhurriedly.
Wu Tianshao behind him couldn't help but say: "Master Hou, there will be a fact in the end that I am puzzled about, I want to ask Master Hou!" ”
Cao Yin stopped the horse, looked calm, smiled gently, and asked, "What does General Wu want to ask?" ”
"The last general wants to ask, why did the imperial court form an alliance with the Qingguo people this time?" Wu Tianshao's expression was solemn: "Why don't you form an alliance with the Wei State and join forces to attack Qing?" Qingguo seems to be powerful, but in fact it is vulnerable, if it can join forces with Wei, it will definitely be able to level Qingguo and erase Qingguo from the map! ”
Cao Yin frowned slightly, and then smiled: "The saint has his own holy heart, and we are waiting for the courtiers to listen to the holy order, so we don't have to think about it!" ”
Wu Tianshao was not reconciled, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the officials in Yanjing City are used to living a peaceful life, and they have no courage? The previous emperors of my Dayan Dynasty all took the unification of the world as their ideal, why did they sit back and watch such a good opportunity slip away this time? ”
"Shut up!" Xiao Huaiyu's eyes flashed sharply, "If you talk nonsense again, you will be disrespectful to Lord Hou, and military law will be engaged!" ”
Wu Tianshao was naturally extremely jealous of Xiao Huaiyu, although he didn't dare to say anything more, but the look in his eyes was obviously very unwilling.
Cao Yin frowned, looked at the generals of the Northwest Army behind Xiao Huaiyu, but understood in his heart at this time that the generals of the Northwest Army obviously wanted to fight this battle, and they were obviously very dissatisfied with the alliance between the imperial court and Qingguo, and they were obviously very dissatisfied with this battle.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and everyone looked back, only to see Han Mo galloping over, followed by two royal forest soldiers.
"Coward!" Seeing Han Mo galloping over, Wu Tianshao snorted coldly and spit on the ground, and the other generals who followed Xiao Huaiyu were also high-ranking generals in the Northwest Army, all of whom were commanders and partial generals.
