Chapter 1037: King Jin's temper
Xiao Jiuqi naturally led his troops to wrap the cavalry into dumplings, returned the stolen grain to the people, and buried the killed people on the spot.
The village is not large, only more than 200 households, and in the end, after liquidation, there is actually a small and half of the households.
Xiao Jiuqi was mad, let people throw all the corpses of the cavalry in the north to the west of the pass to demonstrate, without reporting, led the troops to raid a large camp in the north overnight, fought a fierce battle for a day and a night, took the enemy camp, the enemy commander fled in a hurry, and the other deputy generals died under the swords and guns of the big cadres.
There were no prisoners.
All the enemy troops were 'killed'.
Xiao Jiuqi really made a big deal as soon as he went, and sent the telegram back to Shangjing, and the court stared at him with big eyes, and he couldn't boast about it, and the war escalated when he arrived at the place, and there was originally the possibility of peace talks, but now it is gone.
But scolding can't be scolded, more than 200 villages, one-third of the households, if it weren't for Xiao Jiuqi and they happened to pass by, I was afraid that the entire village would be slaughtered.
You can't scold, you can't praise, it's rare to be weird and calm in the court.
The emperor pinched the newspaper sent back by Xiao Jiuqi, and only felt the corners of his forehead throbbing.
The king of Chu stood on the court with his head down, sighing in his heart, all the instructions before leaving were in vain.
He already knew Xiao Jiu's character, how could he see this, as long as he saw it, it would definitely make them pay for their blood debts.
I'm afraid I won't be able to do it this time.
On the first day of stationing, he took people along the defense line outside the pass, understood the terrain, inspected the defense, and asked Yang Xu to take people to go deep into the place to check the enemy's situation, and he took Pei Xiu and Fu Yuanxian to patrol.
The wind and sand outside the gate are very large, and when I go out and come back from this trip, I basically become a sand man, gray-headed, where there is still a trace of tidiness in the past.
Xiao Jiuqi: ......
Spit out the grains of sand in his mouth, sit outside the city gate, hold a piece of grass in his mouth, lie on the ground and look at the scorching sun above his head with his arms on his pillow, but he thought of Fu Yuanling who was far away in Beijing.
Hey, I promised her not to be reckless, but he broke his promise again.
But he really couldn't help it, the scene of the people of Daqian bleeding all over the ground, if he could endure it, would he still be a man?
Will these people guarding the border gates be sad and disappointed when they look at the army of the imperial court and don't ask?
Looking at the children who have lost their parents, some are still waiting to be fed, and they have no idea what is happening. The parents who lost their son, their pale hair, and their desperate eyes made Xiao Jiuqi unable to breathe.
The young and strong young people in the village, in order to protect their families in the village, carried hoes and fought with the enemy, and one by one they fell down and never woke up again.
This is an even more uncomfortable scene than the battle in southern Xinjiang, which was fought on the land of southern Xinjiang, and the soldiers of the great cadres would not kill innocents indiscriminately, so naturally they could not understand such feelings and pain.
But now, after witnessing it with his own eyes, he knows that the battle in the northern Xinjiang will be more brutal than he imagined.
"Lord Wang." Fu Yuanxian came over with a pot of water and sat down, and handed the cowhide kettle over.
Xiao Jiuqi didn't answer.
Fu Yuanxian took out his kettle and poured it, then he also lay on the ground and looked up at the sky, "Lord, have you written a letter to the princess?" ”
Xiao Jiuqi squinted at Fu Yuanxian, "Why are you talking so much nonsense, didn't you see it when you wrote or didn't write the letter?" ”
Fu Yuanxian chuckled, "If the princess knows what the prince looks like now, I'm afraid she will also be uncomfortable with the prince." ”
Xiao Jiuqi felt that Fu Yuanxian really couldn't comfort people, so if he couldn't speak, he should shut up.
He sat up, took the water bag in his hand, and raised his head to take a sip, "Has there been any movement in Northern Xinjiang in the past two days?" ”
"Yang Xu said no."
Xiao Jiuqi snorted coldly, the more he didn't move, the more strange it became, "Strengthen manpower patrols to prevent the enemy from attacking at night." Wait another day, if there is no movement in northern Xinjiang, we will take the initiative to attack. ”
Fu Yuanxian was stunned for a moment, "Don't you wait for the order of the imperial court?" ”
Xiao Jiuqi sneered, "The general will not be subject to the king's life outside." ”
Wait for a fart!
Fu Yuanxian: ......
Every time you come out to fight with the prince, be careful that your liver has to undergo a powerful test.
He looked at the other party very seriously, "Lord Wang, the reinforcements have not arrived, otherwise you should wait." ”
Xiao Jiuqi looked at him expressionlessly, "Say it again?" ”
Fu Yuanxian immediately changed the topic and said: "A few days ago, the village rescued by the prince, forty or fifty young and middle-aged people came to join the army, will they accept it?" ”
Xiao Jiuqi was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, "What are they doing here?" ”
When they came, there were only old and weak women and children left in the village.
"To resist the northern Xinjiang together, it is natural to support the prince." Fu Yuanxian said solemnly.
Xiao Jiuqi took another sip of water, "No, let them go back." ”
There are no more people in the village who can resist it, they are here, and the rest of the people will really be all accounted for in the last raid.
There are many villages outside the west border, and none of these villages are built in the pass, so once the war starts, they will be the first to suffer.
It's not that these villages don't want to be built in the Guannai, but in those days, the people who went out of the Guannai built dwellings outside the Guanai in order to facilitate farming, and the villages were formed year after year.
If people want to withdraw, large tracts of fertile land will fall into the hands of the enemy, and they will have to wait for this season's grain to be harvested before withdrawing.
Xiao Jiuqi looked at the grain storage in the pass, which could only support the army's rations for three months, so this large piece of fertile land outside the pass was very important and could not be abandoned.
In order to keep these grains, after Xiao Jiuqi learned about it, he arranged for people to patrol in shifts, and once the enemy attack was issued, he immediately warned him.
That's why, when he arrived, he didn't have time to write back.
There are too many things, too busy, and in a short period of time, I get a tan when I run under the scorching sun.
At the same time, Fu Yuanling, who went to Beijing, read Xiao Jiuqi's letter, which naturally reported good news and not bad news, Fu Yuanling knew that Xiao Jiuqi was safe at the moment, and at the same time, he was relieved to listen to the imperial court's report, and suddenly felt a headache.
I didn't expect Xiao Jiuqi to encounter such a thing as soon as he went, so I was afraid that this battle would not end as smoothly as in his dream.
Xiao Jiuqi's temperament, how could he kill the people of Daqian in northern Xinjiang and still shake hands with others?
Fortunately, although Xiao Jiuqi is sometimes impulsive, he is not reckless.
Fu Yuanling thought about it and went to the Chu Palace.
The king of Chu was still in the palace, Xu Xiuning welcomed Fu Yuanling into the mansion, looked at her slightly protruding belly, and said in a concerned tone: "You have something to send a message, I will go to you." ”
Fu Yuanling shook his head, "I'm here to find the prince and want to ask something about Northern Xinjiang." ”
Xu Xiuning introduced Fu Yuanling into the room and asked her to sit down, and after she sat down, she said, "The prince hasn't come back yet, you have to wait." I've heard about it this time, don't worry, King Jin will be fine. ”
