Chapter 938 (1/2)
The two men striding towards Xiao Yi, a middle-aged man in his forties and a young man about eighteen years old, are similar in appearance to each other. They look like a father and son.
”Yes, I have seen you.” They are busy bowing and bowing to Xiao Yi. Their movements are almost the same. However, the young man slows down and shows a trace of reluctance on his face. Cheng Yu in the rear all saw in the eye.
Xiao Yi helped the middle-aged man and said hello with a smile, ”Uncle Yao, a Liang, don't be too polite.”
Yao Shu in Xiao Yi's mouth is Yao Yan, the left general beside the king of Zhennan, and a Liang is his eldest son, Yao lianghang.
Yao's family was a courtier of the prince's house in Zhennan, and assisted the Xiao family's master for generations. Yao Yan's father, old master Yao, assisted the old Zhennan king, and Yao Yan assisted the present Zhennan king. It is reasonable to say that Yao lianghang should assist Xiaoyi, the son of Zhennan king. However, zhennanwang has not spoken, and Yao lianghang doesn't look down on Xiao Yi's frivolous and absurd behavior, so the matter has been delayed.
”Prince, you are back at last.” Yao Yan sighed happily, ”I haven't seen you for several years. You've grown tall and grown up.”
”Yao Shu, you're still as good as ever!” Xiao Yi smiles and asks, ”Uncle Yao, what's the situation in the army now?”
At the mention of military affairs, Yao Yan's expression was solemn and said: ”when you go back to shiziye, since the king led 50000 troops to fengjiang City, this barracks is like a loose sand, no one can accept anyone. It's really worrying.”
Xiao Yi frowned slightly. His grandfather died only a few years ago. How could the Zhennan army, which was once banned, look like loose sand? He didn't show it on his face, and nodded: ”the emperor ordered me to come back this time, so that I could temporarily handle the affairs of Southern Xinjiang.”
Yao Yan was overjoyed when he heard the speech: ”that's good, that's good.”
Xiao Yi was the son of Zhennan king. When Zhennan king was not in the army, he was in charge of the military and political affairs of Southern Xinjiang. In addition, with the emperor's edict, he was justified. Now that Xiao Yi is in charge, the army naturally has a backbone.
However, Yao lianghang frowned slightly. He took a look at Xiao Yi and prayed in his heart: I only hope that this dandy son of a dandy will live in peace, and will not make trouble for his father!
The party went on and entered the big white tent in the center.
The tent is very luxurious. It is at least two feet high. The ground is covered with a thick carpet of wolf skin. A complete white tiger skin is laid on the central seat. A big bow is hung behind. Looking at some years, it has been wiped clean.
This big bow was left by the old Zhennan king. He had been fighting with him for many years. Now, although the old Zhennan king is no longer there, the big bow has been left in the army, like a treasure of the town camp.
Xiao Yi's nostalgic eyes stop on the big bow for a moment, and then stride to sit on the main position, while Qian Moyang is standing by.
Xiao Yi looked at Cheng Yu lazily. Cheng Yu immediately took a list of them and politely handed it to Yao Yan. He said, ”please send someone from general Yao to invite all generals to come here...”
Yao Yan took over the list and looked at it roughly. He was surprised: the names of the people on the list are the generals who are staying in the army today. Xiao Yi has just arrived in southern Xinjiang. He can come up with such a list, and it's not bad. It seems that he is not as incompetent and harmless as he shows
Yao Yan calmed down and reported: ”most of the people on this list are in the camp, only two of them are now leading the team out for patrol.” Then he said two names.
”Then let the rest of us gather in the camp in a single stick of incense.” Xiao Yi said carelessly.
”Yes, Prince!” Yao Yan is busy to answer a way, gave the son a look, Yao lianghang immediately takes orders to go.
Cheng Yumo silent place up a incense.
Next, Yao Yan asked about Xiao Yi's status in the Wangdu in recent years, but they couldn't talk about it. As time went on, the officers and men who received the orders came to the big accounts one after another.
They saluted Xiao Yi one by one. Some of them were respectful, some were light and some were casual. Xiao Yi didn't pay attention to them. They just let them sit down one by one.
Gradually, the incense was almost burnt out. After looking around for a circle, Cheng Yu whispered to Xiao Yi: ”shiziye, in addition to those two who went to patrol and defend, there were still two missing.”
”Two more?” Xiao Yi, with a look of displeasure, said arrogantly, ”the son of this world has said a stick of incense, but they have not come back yet. It is clear that they have not taken this son's words to heart!”
Next, a general glanced at Xiao Yi, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. This son of the world is still as before, did not grow up!
At this time, outside the camp came a man in his thirties, dressed in light black armor. As soon as the man entered the account, he clasped his fist and yelled, ”sorry to have kept you waiting.”
”Du Liancheng, don't come to see the son of the world.” Yao Yan eyebrows a frown, discontented to the other side to drink.
Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed and he laughed faintly. Du Liancheng is Xiao Fang's cousin.
”I've met you.” Du Liancheng casually arched his hand and then said with a smile, ”Oh, brother Yi is so big. Uncle, I still remember the first time I saw him, he was still a suckling little hair.” He laughed and said with emotion on his face, ”in this blink of an eye, little hairy has grown into a little fart child. He hasn't seen him for several years, and now he has grown into a little king with tender skin and tender flesh.” He pretended to be warm, but his words showed obvious contempt. If he dares to treat Xiao Yi like this, he naturally relies on his cousin Xiao Fang.Xiao Yi seemed not to understand. He looked at Du Liancheng with a smile and said, ”I didn't expect that general Du remembered his son-in-law so much. But when he had agreed on the time of a incense stick, how could general Du be late for a cup of tea?”
Fu Yunhe sighed for Du Liancheng when he saw Xiao Yi's smile. The fool didn't know he was going to have a bad day!
”I don't have a cup of tea. I'm a little late.” Du Liancheng said with a smile, ”thank you for waiting for a long time.”
”Since general Du has confessed his guilt, he should first accept the thirty army sticks according to military regulations.” Xiao Yi's fingers gently tapped on the armrest and said casually, ”there's nothing good that can be done to correct mistakes. I hope general Du will not violate the military rules and regulations again in the future.”
”What?” Du Liancheng glared round his eyes and couldn't believe his ears. He pointed to Xiao Yi and said angrily, ”do you dare to hit me?”
”You have violated the military regulations. Why can't I beat you?” Xiao Yi's expression changed abruptly. Suddenly, he was fierce, as if he had changed a person. He said, ”come on, drag down the execution!”
Naturally, the soldiers in the barracks did not dare to offend Du Liancheng, a ”Royal relative”, and no one took orders.
Du Liancheng could not help but show his face. He was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, but Xiao Yi gave a sneer. Then Qian Moyang and a bodyguard strode towards him.
”You want to...” He didn't even have a chance to finish his speech. Qian Moyang appeared behind him like a ghost, then kicked him on his back knee and made him kneel down. Then Qian Moyang and the bodyguard held him by one arm from left to right and pulled him out of the tent. Only when Du Liancheng struggled, he exclaimed in horror: ”wanton! bold! Don't you let go of general Ben? ”
The second half of his sentence had already come from outside the tent, and then there was the ”Pa Pa Pa” sound of his staff and the scream of his killing a pig. Even Fu Yunhe felt pain in his buttocks for him. He said in his heart: ah, this general Du is still too stupid and naive. Big brother is a famous smiling tiger. He is insidious and insidious. If he offends him, he still wants to muddle through and dream!
Some people in the camp moved their mouths, but they didn't ask for mercy. Du Liancheng sent the handle to Xiao Yi himself. No wonder Xiao Yi cut him and established himself.
”By the way, there is another general Tang who hasn't arrived.” Xiao Yi leaned back on the tiger leather chair and said languidly, ”since he doesn't want to take the post, he should withdraw. As for the Xuanjia army led by general Tang...” Xiao Yi's eyes swept the crowd for half a circle, and finally fell on Yao liangjuan's body. ”It's taken over by general Yao.”
Yao lianghang looks at Xiao Yi unexpectedly. He didn't expect that Xiao Yi would hand over Xuanjia army to him. But such a good thing, of course, he will not be silly to refuse: ”the end will be ordered!”
The eyes of people in the camp changed instantly when they looked at Xiao Yi. The full name of Tang general Tang Qinghong was promoted by Zhennan king. Now Xiao Yi says to withdraw and withdraw, leaving no room for him. However, he handed the Xuanjia army to Yao Liangzhu. Yao lianghang is the son of Yao Yan, and the king of Zhennan has always valued Yao Yan. Even after Zhennan Wang returns to Luoyue city in the future, he knows about Tang Qinghong and wants to use Tang Qinghong again, he can't withdraw Yao lianghang for no reason.
Tang Qinghong's loss can be said to be doomed!
Zhennan Wang Shizi did a good job, but did the famous dandy really have such a clever way?
People looked at Xiao Yi suspiciously. It should be just a coincidence!
But no matter whether Xiao Yi is intentional or unintentional, at least he has just two sticks or played a certain deterrent force. Those generals who originally despised Xiao Yi secretly warned themselves that they should act carefully and never let people catch mistakes.
Xiao Yi glanced at all the people in the tent. He was young, had no prestige in the army, and had a reputation as a dandy. He had expected that some people would not pay attention to him when he arrived at the camp, and even some people would deliberately embarrass him. So he simply gave them a clean hand without saying a word.
Fortunately, the two people who came out to pick up trouble today were not the grandfather's, which made Xiao Yi feel very happy. It seems that the people brought out by his grandfather are still clear. Even if some of them have some conflicts with him, they still have very strict rules and etiquette.
Now, let's talk about the general's face. I have just arrived in southern Xinjiang. I am not very clear about the current military situation. Please tell me about the war situation between our army and Nanman. ”
Speaking of this problem, the faces of the people in the camp are not very good-looking.
”Shizi ye,” or Yao Yan said first, ”now the southern Xinjiang has lost three cities: Xingyang, Fengyin and Xiajiang. The two cities have been slaughtered by those Southern barbarians, and no one can survive!” As he said this, his face became more and more dignified, and his eyebrows wrinkled tightly.
Xiao Yi's face was as deep as water and asked, ”who is the commander of Nanman? Who broke the three cities of Xingyang, Fengyin and fell back, and which army of the southern barbarians slaughtered the city? ”
”At present, the main division of Nanman is kuilang, the great prince of Nanman, and the tiger army and the eagle division break through Xingyang city. More than a month ago, the tiger army took the lead in attacking Xingyang city. The garrison of Xingyang city dispatched personnel in time and combined with the military strength of the whole city, which was just enough to keep Xingyang city. It was not until the eagle division and the tiger army joined forces and attacked the city together. Fortunately, Xingyang city was on the defensive. They sent the people out of the city to escape first. As for the soldiers in Xingyang City, all the soldiers were killed and no one survived. ”At this point, the atmosphere in the whole camp became solemn and sad, and the air was almost breathless.
”Later, the great prince of Nanman called the leopard army to attack Fengyin and fall back to the two cities. It's hateful that the guards of those two cities saw that the Nanman was so fierce that they abandoned the city and fled. Finally, the two cities were slaughtered by nanmanzi, and most of the people were pushed into the pit by them and buried alive to death.” Yao Yan's face was heavy and his expression was sad and indignant. ”When we received the military report, it was already late. We only saw two empty cities and a mass grave. Fortunately, the king led his army to resist the attack of the southern barbarians in fengjiang city at the critical moment. Otherwise, fengjiang city might have the same fate However, five days ago, another news came from fengjiang city that a vanguard battalion of our army was ambushed by the enemy during the battle with the eagle division, and no one survived. What is more hateful is that they have cut off the heads of several officers and soldiers of our army and threw them into fengjiang city to insult them wantonly
”Damn it!” Xiao Yi snapped down the table, shaking the tea cup on the table.
Killing, slaughtering, burying alive and cutting off the head are really inhuman!
All the people in the camp were full of blood and indignation. I really want to go to the battlefield and fight with Nanman now.
”The southern barbarians are hateful, and the two guards who fled from the city deserve to die.” Xiao Yimu killed the airway.
People have the same feeling. If the two guards did not abandon the city to escape, where would the two cities fall so quickly and the common people would not die so miserably? The two guards definitely deserve to die!
”Where are the two guards now?” Xiao Yi's face looks like frost.
”If you go back to the son of heaven, you should guard against Xiang Cheng and fall back to guard against Yin. Song Tianfang has long been captured and guarded by decent people.” Yao Yan replied.
”Big brother, what do you keep them for?” Fu Yunhe said angrily to Xiao Yi, ”it's good to kill them directly, and keep them to waste rice.”
Yao Yan said with a wry smile: ”I thought I would like to wait for the king to come back, but I didn't expect that the king's stalemate with the Nanman army in fengjiang city has come to this day.”
”Don't wait for my father to come. Pull it out and push it to the front of the army and do it on the spot! ” Xiao Yi waved his hand at will and said, ”pass on the order of my son of heaven, call the whole army together, and behead all the officers and men in front of them, so as to shock the army!”
”Yes, Prince.” Yao Yan should do it now. He wanted to dispose of the two men for a long time, but because the LORD did not return, he was delayed until now.
The bugle of the barracks blared, and the torches lit up almost half of the sky, making the whole camp like day.
The soldiers went out of the tent and gathered in the broad arena. They looked up at the high platform in front of them. There were two people kneeling on the ground. They were only wearing dirty white midcoats, and their heads were covered with black cloth covers. Behind them stood two soldiers with big swords.
The soldiers were whispering and whispering, not knowing what had happened?
”When the son of heaven arrives, general Yao arrives, Vice General Liu...” Until a sound of loud singing sound sounded, the field was quiet.
The soldiers raised their eyes and saw a young man in silver and white armor marching forward. The bright light of fire fell on the young man's delicate eyebrows and eyes. It seemed that there was a faint brilliance flowing in the young man's paintings.
The two soldiers on the stage took off the black cloth covers of the two men kneeling on the ground under the sign of Yao Yan. The two men were stuffed with a piece of gray cloth in their mouths. Their faces were frightened and their mouths were ”babbling” but could not say a word.
