Long live the general

Chapter 98 Battle of Hexi

This hand was so shocking that Mrs. Yang even thought in a trance that the knife was not an ornament...

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining three people knew that this matter could not be fooled, and their faces sank.The tall and thin man rushed towards Mrs. Yang first, intending to kill Mrs. Yang first. In this way, it was just a matter between them and these two women, and it would not involve the previous case of the Yang family.

They were standing between General Huo and Mrs. Yang. If they rushed over, Huo Yi would definitely be too late.

The tall and thin one moves quickly.

But Huo Yi's arrow was faster.

No one could even see where he took out the arrow, but after the sharp whistle in the air, the arrow flashed with a cold light, piercing the tall and thin man's knee.The tall and thin man fell to his knees with a plop, and Mrs. Yang boldly took a step forward, kicking the knife in his hand away.

The other two wanted to make a move, but they were pointed at by Huo Yi's bow, and they were sweating all over, not daring to go any further.

At this time, there was a sound of orderly footsteps from outside the alley, kicking and kicking, which was very shocking.Rows of torches illuminated the entire street brightly. Dozens of cavalry in armor, red cloth clothes, and red-bearded helmets appeared behind Huo Yi.

The Ti Cavalry Squad was previously separated from the Northern Army and was dedicated to maintaining the law and order of Chang'an City. It used to be Huo Yi's subordinate, but now Huo Yi has become a general, and it is also under Huo Yi's jurisdiction in name.

The duty of the general is that the whole of Dai Viet, except for the imperial guards who follow His Majesty the emperor every day in the palace, is under his jurisdiction. This is real power.

On the contrary, Taiwei does not have the power to actually directly control the army. Taiwei is the highest military commander in name, responsible for surveying, evaluation and transfer, and participating in government affairs on behalf of the military.

Captain Tiqi is a young man with a rifle and a long red beard.He raised his helmet with his hand, and saluted Huo Yi: "General Huo, your subordinates are late."

Before Huo Yi shot the arrow, he asked Huo Xiaoman to notify the Tiqi team.

Performing their own duties, maintaining the law and order of Chang'an City is originally the duty of the Tiqi team.

Huo Lingyue walked swaggeringly between the two stiff killers. Broken Dream was still dangling around her waist, and the red blood stains on it were extremely eye-catching.

At this time, the three assassins on the field were lying on the ground, and the remaining two dared not move any more.

These few killers were gone, and they were taken away one by one by the Tiqi team.

The Tiqi team came in a hurry, and then left in a hurry. The three killers lying on the ground were not dead, and Huo Yi and Huo Lingyue spared their lives.

After they left, Huo Yi turned to Madam Yang and asked, "Madam, have you been hunted down?"

"Yes, thank you, General Huo, for your help." This? It was already obvious, Madam Yang knew that General Huo wanted to hear more specific things.

For example, why they were hunted down, but thinking of the remarks made by General Huo and Guo Xie, and just now? The killer also said that General Huo used to train horses in the Guo family, so they must have had a close relationship...

But this General Huo looks like a good guy.

Huo Yi saw that they didn't want to say more, and didn't force him, so he said: "Aside from these five people, are there other people who are chasing you? If there are any, Madam may not be in a very safe situation now."

Mrs. Yang hesitated and said: "There should be none. They chased here from Jiaojun, and there have always been only these five people."

Huo Lingyue observed for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Then Chang'an City, is it safe for my sister?"

Mrs. Yang was shocked when she heard this.

Chang'an City is definitely very dangerous for them, because Guo Xie is in Chang'an City!He hasn't gone to Da Mao yet, and there are still those who follow him.

If Guo Xie finds out what happened tonight, Mrs. Yang and the others will be exposed to Guo Xie's sight.

Mrs. Yang whispered: "In this case, we will find a more secluded inn, and write the paperwork and submit it to the palace tomorrow morning..."

Huo Yi softened his tone and said: "What happened in Chang'an City today, the group of people who chased and killed you must be bold and fearless. They are habitual murderers. You are hiding in ordinary inns , It’s useless. And if something like this happens, it’s better for Madam to go directly to the Tingwei Office to report the case.”

Madam Yang looked at him blankly, her heart was in a mess.

Is she able to go to the Ting Wei Department?Will it solve the problem?

Ordinary people are always afraid of that place, even if she used to be the wife of the county magistrate.

Huo Lingyue said on the sidelines: "Two young ladies, why don't you stay in Huo's mansion temporarily for a night, go to the court office tomorrow morning, and ask Xiaoman to take you there. It's already curfew time, you can't find it From the inn."

A smile curled up at the corner of her mouth: "There will never be anyone who would dare to kill someone in the Huo Mansion."

What she said is well-founded, and Mrs. Yang also has a good impression of Huo Lingyue. If this is what Huo Yi said, she must have traveled as far as she could, but Huo Lingyue seems to have a much higher affinity.

They got into the carriage again, Huo Yi still sat outside with Huo Xiaoman, and Huo Lingyue accompanied Mrs. Yang and Bai Que'er in the carriage. Mrs. Yang thought they would ask something, but when they arrived at Huo's mansion, Huo Yi didn't know what to do. Didn't ask any more questions.

Cong Yunmeng was already asleep, and Huo Yi didn't dare to disturb her.So he asked Uncle Wang to lead the two guests to the guest room, and Huo Lingyue followed suit, standing at the door and talking to them a few words.

"The two sisters should go to bed early after washing up." Huo Lingyue said, "Tomorrow morning, my little uncle will go to court. If you need help, you can come to me directly."

Mrs. Yang shed tears, took her hand and said, "Thank you very much. You have no relatives and no reason, but you are willing to help to such an extent. I really don't know how to repay you? Okay..."

Huo Lingyue said: "It's okay, this? This matter is related to the security of Chang'an City. In fact, it has something to do with my little uncle."

Mrs. Yang hesitated to speak, and asked in a low voice: "I want to ask, have General Huo and Mr. Guo ever had a relationship?"

Huo Lingyue blinked: "Who is Mr. Guo?... Guo Xie?"

She only heard this name when Huo Yi lamented that the imperial power would not go to the countryside.By the way, there are indeed a group of rich officials and wealthy families who are dating Guo Xie recently, but those people, in Huo Lingyue's place, are also nameless.

The few really powerful people, like Prime Minister Zhao Cheng, General Qiu, Zhang Dasinong, etc., didn't care about Guo Xie at all.

Madam Yang looked at her anxiously.

"This? I don't know either." Huo Lingyue said, "Little uncle hasn't told me much about this?"

After she left, Mrs. Yang sat in the room for a long time, Bai Que'er wiped away her tears. Today was a very thrilling day.

"Everything will be fine, we've made it this far." Bai Que'er comforted softly: "Ma'am, rest."

After Huo Lingyue left the guest room, she was not in a hurry to go back to rest, but went straight to Huo Yi.

Huo Yi really hasn't slept yet. He sleeps much better now than before, but he sleeps later than usual, and he always has a bunch of things to deal with.

"Little uncle." Huo Lingyue came over and reported, "They are resting."

"Why don't you go to bed? You can't grow taller if you sleep late." Huo Yi said without raising his head.

Huo Lingyue subconsciously stood on tiptoe. Her little uncle was tall, with a thin waist and long legs, making him look extraordinarily slender.Hearing that her father and mother are both tall, Huo Lingyue has always believed that she can grow tall.

"It was Guo Xie's men who killed them." Huo Lingyue said, "She suspects that you and Guo Xie are on the same team."

Huo Yi thought for a while: "No, Guo Xie pays attention to his reputation now. If someone kills his nephew, he can forgive the murderer magnanimously. Why would he chase and kill two women from thousands of miles away?"

Huo Lingyue: "Could it be that they have something to do with Guo Xie?"

"They are from Jiaojun..." Huo Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know who they are?"

"This lady should be from a good background. Although she is dressed in rags, she behaves politely. They are still a little scared of me, and they didn't tell me too much."

Huo Yi waved his hand: "Forget it, send them to the Tingwei Office tomorrow, and the matter will naturally be clear."

Huo Lingyue came up and said with a smile: "Little uncle, can I go together?"

"No." Huo Yi ruthlessly refused.

Huo Lingyue said, "Then I'll go."

Huo Yi raised his head and stared at her, and Huo Lingyue ran out bouncingly: "The two of them are so dangerous, I know Tingwei Department very well, go and say hello."

The next day, Huo Yi went to court early in the morning. He repeatedly told Huo Lingyue to be careful, and then he was taken to Ziwei Palace in a carriage.

Huo Lingyue took Mrs. Yang and Bai Que'er to the Tingwei Office.

Huo Lingyue's familiarity with the Ting Wei Department stems from several meetings with Zhao Cheng.At the beginning, she hated this place because of Prime Minister Wang's affairs, until Zhao Cheng took the post of Ting Wei, she gradually understood a truth.The Ting Wei Department is just an institution. It is up to its owner to let it play a role in maintaining stability or to use it to form cliques for selfish purposes to confuse black and white.

This is the case in many cases. When an objective existence appears, there is no distinction between black and white, right or wrong. It is human nature that adds color to it and changes it.

Including the imperial court, power, the throne... It all depends on who controls them.

Outside the Tingwei Office, Mrs. Yang and Bai Que'er were going through the process, and they would soon be promoted to handle the case.Huo Lingyue proposed to listen in, but the current Ting Wei was very embarrassed and did not agree to her.

The current Tingwei used to be Zhao Cheng's subordinate, of course he knew this high-profile girl from the Huo family, but it was one thing to be favored by the emperor, but it was another thing to be involved in official affairs.

"Then let me listen in."

Zhou Yunshen suddenly appeared, nodded to Huo Lingyue, and then said to Wei Ting: "Can I go in and listen?"

He is now the real prince. Although he is the adopted son of the emperor, he has the blood of the Zhou family and has the right to inherit. This position is not to be discounted.

Tingwei had no choice but to let him in, and Zhou Yunshen took Huo Lingyue into the Tingwei's office.

After Huo Yi came down to court, Zhou Zhenyan took his general to the apse logically.

Zhou Zhenzhen was in a good mood. Just two days ago, Qiu Hongguang sent the battle report from the front line. They set out from Wushao Ridge, crossed the entire Hexi Corridor all the way, went deep into the Huns' court in the desert, and beheaded the Zhelang King. , slipped away from King Hunxie and King Xiutu, and captured Zhao Pingan who had defected to the enemy back then.

This army beheaded nearly [-] enemy troops, with relatively small losses. It was a truly complete victory and a battle in which the cavalry blitz technique was brought to the extreme.

The battle report has been sent back, and Qiu Hongguang will soon lead his troops back to Chang'an.

Zhou Zhenyan had already thought about how to reward Qiu Hongguang.

He was in a great mood, and said: "You are right, General Qiu will not disappoint me, wait? When he comes back, I can also seal him."

Just now? His Majesty the Emperor has already read this part of the battle report at the court. For Zhou Zhenyan, this? Not only is this a successful battle, but it also symbolizes the smooth progress of the third battle plan of the Battle of Hexi, and the next step can be started The decisive battle of the Battle of Hexi.

After the victory in the decisive battle, he will be able to obtain the strategically important Hexi Corridor.

Zhou Zhenzhen was so happy that he even showed Huo Yi the battle report in the apse.

Huo Yi knew this when he saw the handwriting and words. The battle report was not written by Qiu Hongguang, it should be written by Li Feng.

The content in the battle report is similar to what Zhou Zhenyan said, but compared to His Majesty the Emperor who has never been on the battlefield, Huo Yi is more aware of how rare such a result is.If before meeting Qiu Hongguang, someone said that he could lead [-] light cavalry across the desert, make such great achievements in battle under the eyes of the Xiongnu royal court, and even retreat with all his body, Huo Yi must have felt that the other party was dreaming.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Huo Yi said: "Qiu Hongguang's advantage lies not only in his speed, but also in his ability to predict. For the ever-changing battlefield, this ability to predict can give him an advantage over the enemy."

At first, he felt that Qiu Hongguang could be cultivated, but he never thought that Qiu Hongguang could grow to such a degree.

Zhou Zhenzhen nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly said: "Huo Qing, Xiumu, you and Xiaoyue went hunting yesterday?"

Huo Yi: "Yes, I went out to play with her."

"Are you having fun?" Zhou Zhenyan asked nonchalantly.

Huo Yi smiled, knowing that what His Majesty wanted to ask was not this, he explained: "We had a good time. When we came back, we encountered a little accident, so we met a lady."

"Madam?" Zhou Zhenyan opened his mouth: "What accident?"

"Your Majesty, do you know what Guo Xie did in Chang'an City recently?" Huo Yi asked.

Zhou Zhenxian shook his head. He is the king of a country in Dayue. No matter how powerful Guo Xie is, his reputation spreads all over the world, and it is difficult for his behavior to reach his ears.

There would have been no connection between them.

Huo Yi then told him about Guo Xie and Mrs. Yang one by one.

Guo Xie already had a reputation in Jiaojun, and he was called a sage of the country.In the previous relocation order, the local officials wrote Guo Xie's name on it, so Guo Xie dragged his family to Chang'an.And many officials and gentry in Chang'an City, regardless of whether they had heard his name or not, all rushed to make friends with him, and became famous for a while.

It sounds like it is a matter of a righteous and benevolent knight-errant, but under these good reputations, there are two women who were hunted all the way and almost died in Chang'an City.
