Chapter 640: Leading the Troops to the Battle
In the north city of Xiqi City, above the city tower, Ji Chang, accompanied by Xiqi Wenwu, watched Ji Sheng, Nangong Shi, San Yisheng and others lead 25,000 cavalry soldiers to slowly go away. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Master Hou, do you really have so much confidence in Sheng Gongzi?" Old Doctor San couldn't help but ask Ji Chang in a low voice.
Ji Chang, who glanced sideways at the old doctor, smiled lightly: "Old doctor, I know your concerns. It's just that this time, the Rongliang tribe is obviously prepared, and they must have the confidence, otherwise they wouldn't dare to rebel easily. ”
"Master Hou, if this is the case, then you can't start a war lightly! Once the army is defeated, it will be..." Doctor San was in a hurry.
Ji Chang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Old doctor, it is precisely because of this that I sent Ji Sheng to lead the troops." Because of this rebellion in Xiqi, only he can solve it. With Nangong Shi by his side, the old doctor doesn't have to worry so much. Besides, even if we want to talk, it must be after we win, otherwise why talk to the Rongliang tribe?"
"Then Master Hou, can you count the good luck and culprit of this battle?" Doctor San was a little helpless, and asked with a low sigh.
"There is good luck in the fierce!" Ji Chang took a deep breath before slowly speaking: "I hope that Brother Sheng's trip will go well!"
While the two were talking, suddenly an old servant hurriedly came up to the city tower panting: "Master Hou.. Master Hou, the old lady called you over!"
"Oh, I still have to explain to my mother," Ji Chang patted his head with a slightly helpless smile when he saw this, and then waved his hand lightly to the old servant, turned around and walked towards the city tower first.
The younger son had just returned, and before he had time to see him, he was sent by the eldest son to fight, and the old lady's reaction can be imagined. Ji Sheng is proud of the spring breeze, and he led the troops to the north in high spirits, but Ji Chang is going to 'suffer' from his old mother.
Not to mention how Ji Chang explained to the old lady, on the other hand, after leaving Xiqi City for seven or eight miles, Ji Sheng proposed that he lead 5,000 elite horsemen to set off first, on the grounds that the speed of the army was too slow.
Nangong Shi was not worried that he led the troops alone, so he also followed him and handed over the rear army foot soldiers to San Yisheng.
In front of the slower foot soldiers, San Yisheng rode side by side with a female general in dark red armor and a big red cloak, followed by a warrior who was also riding a horse with a full ear of and armor, and then the army was mighty, waving flags, and walking all the way through the smoke and dust like an earth dragon.
"I really don't understand, Hou Ye is confused, is it nonsense to let Sheng Gongzi lead the troops and let my eldest brother be the deputy marshal?"
San Yisheng on the side smiled lightly: "Miss Ling, Master Hou must have a deep meaning in arranging it like this, let's not guess." After all, Sheng Gongzi is a person who has studied with the old priest, so he must have some outstanding skills, right?"
"Extraordinary? I think he eats, drinks and has fun, but he is a noble son who has no power to tie the chicken. With him like this, going to the battlefield will only become a burden. I only hope that this time, he won't be too rash and listen to my eldest brother in everything. Otherwise, if this battle is lost, it will be..." Nangong Ling, the female general who shook her head and said, had a faint flash of worry in her eyes.
San Yisheng just smiled noncommittally when he heard this, and didn't say anything more. This Nangong Ling is Nangong Shi's sister-in-law, she doesn't love red clothes and arms since she was a child, don't look at her age, she is three or four years older than Ji Sheng, she is only twenty this year, but she has been in the army for several years, has fought more than 20 battles, and is one of the few female generals in the Xiqi army.
It's just that because of this, Nangong Ling has already reached the age when she should get married, but she still hasn't been able to get married. On the one hand, because many of the children of the powerful don't want to marry such a tigress, many powerful people also have a lot of complaints about Nangong Ling, a girl as a military general, and Nangong Ling is also high-spirited, and people who practice martial arts always hope to find a person who is stronger than her in martial arts in the future, and she doesn't want to marry an embroidered pillow.
However, San Yisheng understood that Nangong Ling didn't know Ji Sheng too well, and his thoughts were biased. Ji Sheng was in Xiqi a few years ago, and he also had a lot of contacts with the children of Xiqi's powerful people, although he behaved like a noble son and informal, but San Yisheng was able to mix into a relatively top position among Xiqi's courtiers in the future, and he was still very discerning, and he could vaguely see that Ji Sheng was far from being as simple as he showed. San Yisheng believes that with Hou Ye's prudence, if Ji Sheng does not have the ability to do it, he will never easily send him to lead the army to quell the chaos.
Five thousand cavalry, one man and two horsemen, ten thousand horses galloping, momentum like a dragon, very fast, a short rest halfway, but most of the day, when the sun was about to set, they arrived at one of the destinations of the Yong tribe.
"General Nangong!" "The patriarch of the Yong clan, an old man with a white beard but a good spirit, but with a worried look between his eyebrows, came to greet him with some high-ranking members of the Yong clan. He recognized Nangong Shi at a glance, but Ji Sheng, who was dressed in white and jade and didn't even wear armor next to Nangong Shi, was automatically ignored by him.
"Master Yong!" Nangong Shi, who stepped off the horse and politely returned the salute, turned around and introduced Ji Sheng on the side: "Boss, let me introduce you, this is the younger brother of my family's marquis, Ji Sheng's son." ”
When the patriarch of the Yong clan heard this, he immediately looked at Ji Sheng in surprise, and then hurriedly said, "The old man has seen Sheng Gongzi!"
The two sides exchanged pleasantries, and Ji Sheng and Nangong Shi took a small number of attendants and soldiers to go to their tribe under the greeting of the patriarch of the Yong clan. And the five thousand cavalry, naturally, are also people from the Yong tribe who prepare food and lodging.
The Yong tribe, like a semi-nomadic tribe, had many yurts, as well as wooden, adobe and stone houses.
Along the way, Ji Sheng noticed that there were some wounded soldiers tents in the tribe, and some painful moans could be faintly heard, and there were many men and women wearing coarse linen clothes or white robes coming and going, changing the medicine and treating those wounded soldiers.
"Boss, it seems that you fought before, and the damage was not small!" Nangong Shi also noticed this scene, and couldn't help frowning.
The patriarch of the Yong clan couldn't help but sigh: "Yes! My Yong tribe, the young and strong have lost two or three percent, and the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties! The wolf cavalry of the Rong tribe is really too powerful. ”
"Why should the old man grow the enemy's ambition and destroy his own prestige? No matter how powerful the wolf cavalry is, it is still a human being. As long as you are human, you are not invincible," Ji Sheng smiled indifferently and casually.
As soon as he heard Ji Sheng's words, a burly man beside the patriarch of the Yong clan suddenly snorted slightly dissatisfied: "Young Master Sheng, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk! The wolf cavalry of the Rong clan, if it is really so easy to deal with, how can we ask Xiqi for help?"
"Yonghu, don't be rude to Sheng Gongzi!" the patriarch of the Yong clan frowned and scolded.
Ji Sheng, who didn't care about smiling, noticed a white shadow walking out of a wounded soldier's tent not far away, and was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, in this Yong tribe, there is such a stunning temperament. And the tall woman in the white Luo skirt also walked slowly over to this side, nodded to the patriarch of the Yong clan, and said in a slightly cold and calm tone: "Patriarch!"
"Master Sheng, General Nangong, let me introduce to you, this is Concubine Yun, and she is the high priest of my Yong tribe," the Yong tribe was not the slightest dissatisfied with the woman's attitude, but smiled and was busy with Ji Sheng and Nangong Shidao.
When Nangong Shi saw Concubine Yun, she couldn't help but stare in amazement, and subconsciously swallowed her saliva.
Ji Sheng reacted, and he didn't mind that the burly man Yonghu who was in the high-level of the Yong tribe who was respectfully saluting Concubine Yun gritted his teeth and glared at him and Nangong Shi with dissatisfaction, and smiled lightly and gestured to Concubine Yun: "Concubine Yun!"
"Concubine Yun, these two are the son of Ji Sheng, the source of Xiqi's troops, General Nangong. Prince Ji Sheng is the younger brother of Xibohou," said Lian, the patriarch of the Yong clan.
Concubine Yun glanced at Ji Sheng in surprise, but still only slightly bowed: "Concubine Yun has seen Gongzi Sheng!"
"Concubine Yun doesn't have to be polite!" Ji Sheng raised his hand slightly, and looked at Concubine Yun with a light smile, but he was slightly surprised in his heart. Unexpectedly, in the mere Yong tribe, there would be a monk at the level of returning to the void earth immortal, no wonder she was able to become the high priest of the Yong tribe at a young age.
Under the polite greeting of the patriarch of the Yong clan, the group soon came to the hall of the Yong tribe's deliberations and sat down as the host and guest. Originally, the patriarch of the Yong clan was ready to let Ji Sheng sit on the main seat. After all, as the chief of the two hundred princes in the West, Xibohou came with his own brother, who was almost equivalent to the envoy of the Son of Heaven, so he naturally couldn't be lazy. However, Ji Sheng didn't like to be so ostentatious, so he just smiled and politely refused, but sat with Nangong Shi in the first two guest seats on the left.
On the opposite side, the high-level of the Yong tribe sat opposite Ji Sheng, and the first person sitting on the right side was the high priest Concubine Yun.
"Boss, let's talk about the military situation first! The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, I want to hear what you know about the situation of the Rongliang tribe, as well as their composition this time, what powerful generals there are," after everyone sat down, Ji Sheng simply asked directly.
