Chapter 90: Why should a prince be subservient?
When Liu Jizong rushed towards Quanyang City without stopping, regardless of the wounds on his body that had not healed, the scouts sent out the day before yesterday had already turned back to join the army.
"General. The scout reported through the carriage.
"Tell me quickly, what is the situation in Quanyang City now!" The weak body did not reduce Wu Hou's momentum, he urged impatiently, because the words were too urgent, it would inevitably affect the injury, and a snorting pain came from his nose.
"The army was defeated and the city was burned. After the scout spit out four words, he hung his head and rode his horse with him, and he didn't dare to say more.
There was a dead silence in the carriage.
"General?" the scout leaned over to inquire about movement in the car, and finally lifted the curtain and glanced at him offended after several calls went unanswered.
This sight frightened the scout's guts, and his body hurriedly shrank back, and he accidentally couldn't stop his movements and immediately fell off his horse, but he didn't care about the bleeding from his head, and opened his mouth stuffed with mud and shouted: "Someone! Someone! The general has fainted! Come on!"
The marching army immediately stopped, and after some scrambling, Liu Jizong woke up slowly, but it seemed that his breath was much weaker, he raised his eyes and saw the food in the carriage, and then turned his head to see that even Huang Huaien was here.
The general was severely injured and did not heal, and suddenly his heart was attacked, so he fainted. The madman reverently performed the Buddhist rites to the palace officials and retreated.
When the monk got out of the car, he saw that the scout was still trembling in front of the carriage, and he looked like he was waiting for the drop, so he walked over and said comfortingly: "You get up, Wuhou is fine, if he sends a message to let you in later, try to avoid the important and say it lightly." ā
"Thanks... Xie Gaosheng. The scout cried with joy, after all, Liu Jizong passed out and died, if he really wanted to blame him, he would definitely be unable to blame him.
Huang Huaien in the car was full of concern: "Does Liu Wuhou feel better now? If you want to sprinkle the family to say that this bumpy road doesn't look like it is for people to walk, the grass soldier still doesn't open his eyes to stimulate you, where is the appearance of the current one conducive to recuperation, how can you wave the army with the sprinkle family to attack Beiyi at that time, it is better to stop and rest for half a dead day as the sprinkler family said." ā
In fact, Huang Gonggong had a brain fever when he was promised the first work by Liu Jizong, and now he regrets it when he thinks about it, he is used to running in the capital, where can he stand a long-distance expedition.
What's more, he figured out some things along the way: in today's imperial court, how can the saints who fought for their lives rely on the big tree of Wei Qiansui, and besides, when he went to Quanyang, he faced the main force of the Mongolian people, and the sword was not allowed to die without eyes, and he also talked about the glory and wealth of a fart!
So the more Eunuch Huang thought about it, the more panicked he became, and the more he walked, the more he was embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to turn around and go back to Beijing immediately, but the words were released again, and his face couldn't be pulled down, so the idea could be delayed.
Liu Jizong ignored Huang Huaien's broken words and called out: "Are people still waiting outside?"
"Yes!" replied hurriedly outside the car.
"Come in and answer. ā
After a while, the scout nervously knelt down in front of Liu Jizong.
Wu Hou leaned on the couch and moved his waist with difficulty, panting hard and asked, "Have you seen Qiu Yanbin withdraw from Quanyang City?"
The scout was sweating profusely, for fear that Liu Jizong would faint again, and he couldn't think of anything else to say, so he had to hum softly: "When I went to the humble position, the whole city was blocked by fire, and I didn't find out the news of General Qiu and his military camp. ā
Liu Jizong's lips trembled violently, his eyes were about to fall, Huang Huaien was afraid that he would not be able to breathe this breath and helped him rub his back, Wuhou finally eased up, and finally collapsed heavily and said in despair: "There are 10,000 horses left in Quanyang City, no matter how much it is damaged, it will not be traceless, Yanbin..."
"It seems that the Mongols can't enter the city because of the fire, and now they are camping outside the city, and they should want to cross the city after the fire is extinguished. The scout felt that he couldn't afford to dwell too much on the city's demise, and reported the rest of the situation directly.
Unexpectedly, Huang Huaien, who didn't react much when he heard the city break, became excited at this time: "What are you talking about! There are still Mongolian people outside the city!"
"It's... It'sā" The scout was confused.
As a result, it was okay not to agree, and when he heard the scout's answer, Huang Huaien was even more excited and scolded in front of Liu Jizong: "Qiu Yanbin is really good, if he can't defend the city, Quanyang understands him with fewer enemies and more sprinklers, and he has done such a rebellious thing as burning the city, but he didn't expect to burn the entire city and not block the Mongolian people back." ā
"Lord Huang, General Qiu is now more and less auspicious, why do you have to embarrass him?" Liu Jizong said unhappily.
Huang Huaien sneered: "It's possible to die for fear of crime." ā
"Commander Huang!" Liu Jizong was furious when he heard that the eunuchs were biting Qiu Yanbin to death, and he directly addressed him by his position, "General Qiu can resist three or four times more Mongolian people and hold on to today, which is already considered to be the limit! The defeat is imminent, is it possible to give the city to Beiyi in full force? The act of burning the city at least leaves the enemy in place and cannot move, I hope you will be cautious!"
Huang Huaien was stunned by the fierceness all of a sudden, people like him are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, if you retreat a foot, he will dare to enter, in the past, Liu Jizong tried to be patient for the sake of the overall situation, but now Qiu Yanbin's whereabouts are unknown, and all his temper has already been exhausted.
"When he set off, he had already instructed the good people to take the first step, and he should be back soon, and he will see what the situation will be by then. Liu Jizong didn't want to argue about Qiu Yanbin's merits and demerits, he only hoped that Bai Luofeng could come back as soon as possible and bring him good news.
"Hmph! Then the Sprinkle family will do as the general says. Huang Huaien stalemate for a moment and chose to retreat, not to mention that Liu Jizong's marquis with a different surname is there, even at this moment in the army, his status is higher than himself, he is just temporarily ordered to be a commander, even if it is 10,000 people, according to the regulations, in fact, the official position is not as good as Liu Jizong's supervisor.
"You, go down. Liu Jizong tiredly sent away the scouts, and then summoned the adjutant general and ordered: "Let everyone continue to move and speed up the march to Quanyang City, since that group of Mongolian people dare to camp in front of the city, the general will outflank them from the rear and see where they run!"
"No!" There was another voice of opposition beside him, Huang Huaien stared at Liu Jizong with red ears and said: "Since the Mongolian people want to cross the city, we should detour back to the south gate of Quanyang, and enter the city as soon as the fire falls, and continue to borrow the city tower to resist the Mongolian cavalry, this is the safest way!"
"The safest way for Commander Huang is actually the most afraid of death. Liu Jizong smiled and said with a smile, how could he not see through what the dead eunuch was fighting in his heart, it was nothing more than worrying about the head-on conflict with the Mongolian people and encountering accidents, and he wanted to retreat into the city in order to be stable.
Huang Huaien was pierced and argued angrily: "Why are the Sprinkle family afraid of death! If the Sprinkle family is afraid of death, how can they come here from thousands of miles away! However, Liu Wuhou's method is really reckless, in case the fire in the city is extinguished when we arrive, and the Mongolian people are attacked by enemy dogs and jump over the wall in a hurry and go south! Then who will guarantee the safety of His Majesty in Kyoto!"
"The fire didn't go out so quickly. Liu Jizong said coldly.
"Ah!" Huang Huaien said sarcastically as if he heard a big joke: "Wuhou is not in Quanyang, how do you know when the fire will dissipate? ā
"You dare!" Liu Jizong was furious, and slapped his big hand on the desk.
"Why don't you dare to be a Sprinkle family! surnamed Liu, don't think you have much ability, if it weren't for the reinforcements of the Sprinkle family, you think you would be able to get out of Wuzhou County and be here in this spirit?!" Since you have torn your face, there is no need to be angry, Huang Huaien also slapped him and said: "Behind the Sprinkle family is Lord Wei! After the Sprinkle family returns to Beijing, he will immediately play the emperor: You are the one who put Wuzhou County in danger! It is your people who have burned down the entire Quanyang City! Then it will be interesting to see if your title can be kept!"
"Do you really want to go back?" Liu Jizong's tone lowered.
Huang Huaien was angry, how could he notice the change in Liu Jizong's eyes, and said even more majestically: "What's the matter? You're scared now, it's too late!
After speaking, the man got up to lift the curtain.
"Come on, tie up this eunuch to Ben Hou!" Liu Jizong pointed at Huang Huaien and said sharply to the deputy general.
"The surname is Liu!
"Why don't I dare!" Wu Hou directly stretched out his hand and slapped him, only to hit Lord Huang with gold stars in the eyes, "If Ben Hou is injured, he will have the courage to step on his head! Ben Hou killed so many people in the Northern Expedition back then, and I am afraid that you will not succeed as a mere eunuch!"
After that, he turned his head and scolded the adjutant general: "What do you do! Don't do it yet! What does it have to do with the general? Do you want me to draw the knife myself?!"
When did the adjutant general see General Liu Jizong have such a hooligan look, he was so frightened that he drew his sword and escorted people out.
Liu Jizong ignored Huang Huaien's resentful gaze before he went out, he leaned on the fox fur that was tightened and fell into thought: Is it that the people who follow him will not end well, like Li Baisong's dead bones because of respect for him, like Qiu Yanbin because he believes that he has left without news...
"Stick to Quanyang, what kind of labor is guarding him!" The general's gaze changed from hazy to suddenly clever, as if time had returned to his youthful moment, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face: "From Quanyang City to Bucheng, it is a great situation, and you have to guard the northern pass!
