The general said she doesn't take a wife
Chapter 50 Turmoil
As soon as this person mentioned this matter, other generals immediately agreed with him. After a while, [-]% of the generals sitting in the tent said that Guo Wencheng should be invited to attend this meeting.
Bei Chenlong's forehead was throbbing with veins. He suppressed his anger and coldly glanced at the faces of the people in the tent with different expressions, especially those who strongly supported Guo Wencheng and wanted to invite Guo Wencheng out to participate in the discussion. point.
When Yang Jin also took a step forward, bowed and said:
"General, Guo Wencheng has always been loyal to the general. He has been guarding the border with the general for more than ten years. Now the foreign enemies are stalking us. We really shouldn't delay too much time on this matter. If you have any doubts, why not wait until this battle is over. How about inviting Guo Wencheng to the meeting first?"
Bei Chenlong's face darkened completely, his sullen eyes fell on Yang Jin, his silence was like a surging ocean, and he asked coldly:
"Yang Jin, even you think that what happened today is the fault of this general?"
Yang Jin frowned, knowing that his words just now might have touched Bei Chenlong's sensitive nerves, but Guo Wencheng was his close friend, the two of them left Beijing together, and had followed Bei Chenlong on the border for so many years, yet Bei Chenlong treated Guo Wencheng like this Doubt is really chilling.
His best friend was in distress and was under suspicion. Even if Yang Jin knew that such words would offend Bei Chenlong, he couldn't ignore Guo Wencheng's experience, so he bowed again and continued:
"General, my subordinates just think that repelling the barbarians is the most important thing right now. As for Guo Wencheng, we can discuss it later."
Bei Chenlong's gaze fell, he didn't show anything on the face, but a high wall was built in his heart, he waved his hand, and said coldly:
"In that case, well, Yang Jin, go find Guo Wencheng and discuss matters together."
Yang Jin was overjoyed when he heard the words, he thought he would have to spend more time talking, but he never thought that Bei Chenlong would let go so easily, he bowed long and thanked Bei Chenlong:
"My subordinates thank General Guo Wencheng for his generosity!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and went out, taking Bei Chenlong's order to pick up Guo Wencheng.
Guo Wencheng, who was thinking about the current situation in Xingbeiguan in the tent, heard that Yang Jin came to look for him. He was stunned for a moment, and then became confused. When he saw Yang Jin, Guo Wencheng reprimanded Yang Jin angrily:
"madness!"
He was so angry that his face changed color, Yang Jin was really so ungrateful, Bei Chenlong was already suspicious of him, Yang Jin stood up for him at this time, if Bei Chenlong was stalking them, the two of them would suffer together.It's fine for him to be dealt with alone, why did Yang Jin suffer together with him!
Yang Jin didn't change his expression. Of course he understood why Guo Wencheng was so angry, but that couldn't be a reason for him to sit idly by.Bei Chenlong was narrow-minded, even Guo Wencheng, who had been with him for so many years, could doubt him and put him under house arrest. What could he not do?
They had been loyal to Bei Chenlong for more than ten years before, and they could not gain Bei Chenlong's trust. So, even if they lived in peace for the time being, how would they know what would be the next thing that would make them suspicious after a long time?Since Bei Chenlong has never been able to gain the trust, what does it matter if he is now suspected?
Yang Jin shook his head and sighed, allowing Guo Wencheng to reprimand him, and when his anger subsided, he said:
"Bei Chenlong has such a heart, it's hard to win the hearts of the people. You have a sacred destiny, and Bei Chenlong made things difficult for you. It's disrespectful. Brother Guo, why don't you use the situation to take advantage of it!"
Guo Wencheng was shocked when he heard the words, he hurriedly covered Yang Jin's mouth, and shouted anxiously:
"Are you crazy?! How dare you speak wildly?!"
Yang Jin waved away Guo Wencheng's hand, and said with a sullen face:
"I'm not crazy, the crazy person is Bei Chenlong!"
Guo Wencheng jumped up anxiously and flatly refused:
"No, no, no, I'm a subordinate, how can I commit a crime, it's absolutely impossible!"
He didn't do anything right now, and he could prove his innocence. Once he did what Yang Jin said, he really couldn't turn back, and Yang Jin would be implicated.Seeing that Guo Wencheng refused without even thinking about it, Yang Jin felt a little resentful:
"Bei Chenlong has treated you like this, and you are willing to work for him. You don't even know when you are killed by him like this!"
Guo Wencheng refused to listen to persuasion, waved his hand and said:
"Brother Yang, you don't need to say any more, today's matter is caused by His Majesty's edict, the general will not be so confused."
Yang Jin was already trembling with anger. He glared at Guo Wencheng, pointed at his nose, and said angrily:
"He is not confused, you are confused!"
Yang Jin failed to persuade Guo Wencheng in the end, he gritted his teeth helplessly and angrily, and sighed:
"That's all, you go to the tent with me to discuss matters first, the most important thing right now is to repel the barbarians, other things, I will talk to you some other day!"
It has been quite a while since he came out, if there is any further delay, something might happen.
Guo Wencheng didn't argue with him any more, followed Yang Jin to Bei Chenlong's camp, and thanked Bei Chenlong in full view, Bei Chenlong didn't mention the imperial decree, he just said:
"Right now, the barbarian soldiers are showing signs of fatigue. I will take this opportunity to inflict a heavy blow on them. Do you have any good strategies?"
His eyes swept across his face from the crowd, his attitude was indifferent and majestic.
As soon as Guo Wencheng came, the previous generals didn't continue to make trouble. When Bei Chenlong opened his mouth, they were all silent and didn't say a word.
Bei Chenlong snorted coldly in his heart, his expression indifferent.
"This subordinate believes that although the barbarians are showing signs of fatigue, the soldiers of our army have also reached their limit. Active attack may be effective, but there is also a certain risk. If you don't ask your majesty, please ask your majesty to increase troops secretly. At that time, we will Fang’s soldiers will go out to meet the enemy again, and they will be more confident.”
The speaker's position was not very clear, he had not clearly supported Guo Wencheng before, but he might not necessarily be on Bei Chenlong's side.
After he finished speaking, someone responded immediately, saying that what he said was reasonable, Bei Chenlong glanced at them sideways, and said indifferently:
"If His Majesty is willing to increase troops, why is the current situation in Xingbei Pass like this?"
A contemptuous sneer curled up on the corner of his lips, and under the surprised and puzzled eyes of everyone, he continued:
"The general sent scouts out of the customs as early as more than a month ago, and detected a major change in the barbarians. The successful integration of several major tribes had already expected the situation like today, so at that time, the general had already written a letter to the capital, I ask His Majesty to add more troops to the northern border, but everyone present must have heard of His Majesty's reply to Xing Beiguan a few days ago, and His Majesty asked Ben to return to Beijing to report on his duties at such a critical moment!"
Everyone in the audience looked at each other in blank dismay. Everyone in the battalion had indeed heard about the imperial decree. Otherwise, those generals who had made good deals with Guo Wen would not have come to Bei Chenlong to argue. Without knowing it, hearing what Bei Chenlong said at this time, they immediately panicked. Judging from this situation, the emperor really didn't want to send more troops to the northern border.
However, there is not enough troops in the northern border, and the temporary recruits will not be useful in wartime. If there is no additional troops, what should we do?
In fact, Bei Chenlong had already discussed this matter with the military adviser before summoning the generals to come to discuss the matter, so he already had a plan in mind, but this choice was a bit risky and might not pass the public discussion.
He raised his hand, signaling to the generals to be calm, and then said:
"As for the shortage of troops, I have an idea and want to discuss it with you gentlemen."
As soon as Bei Chenlong finished speaking, someone among the generals who had been silent before asked:
"Does the general have a clever plan?"
Hearing this, Bei Chenlong showed a stern smile on his face, waved his hands and said:
"It's not a good calculation. At best, it's a compromise. The general will secretly withdraw 20 troops from Poyan, and rush to Xingbei Pass. In addition, the [-] remnants who returned from Mingzheng's defeat, can we gather all of them?" With an army of [-], encircling the barbarian army from both sides can put great pressure on them."
As soon as this remark came out, the generals were in an uproar. Some of the generals who supported Guo Wencheng earlier raised objections:
"But general, with the [-] troops withdrawn from Poyan, there are only [-] remaining, and [-] barbarians are watching outside Poyan. In this way, once the barbarians find out about the withdrawal of troops in the pass, it will be difficult for Poyan to hold on. It is likely to become the second Mingzheng!"
The battle report of Mingzheng's fall has already been conveyed, and the defeated army will soon arrive at Xingbei Pass, so all the generals present are well aware of the situation.Withdraw troops from Poyan to attack the barbarians outside Xingbei Pass, hold Xingbei Pass, but may lose Poyan, this choice is very difficult and dangerous, no one can guarantee that Poyan can really withstand the endless attacks of barbarians .
After this person raised objections, the generals in the room discussed one after another, with mixed results, some agreed with Bei Chenlong, and some felt that this move was inappropriate.
The smile on the corners of Bei Chenlong's lips did not disappear. He glanced at the person who spoke before, and the smile in his eyes was more meaningful. He nodded and tapped the table with his knuckles, signaling that the generals present should be calm and restless. Then he said:
"Yes, this move is indeed difficult and dangerous, and there are great uncertainties, but if we want to completely repel the barbarians, we must have at least [-] troops drawn from Poyan, otherwise we cannot ensure that we can completely repel the barbarians. The tug-of-war will only increase the consumption of each pass. It is very risky to act like this, but we don't have the confidence to gamble, so there will be another plan."
When Bei Chenlong said that there was a second plan, everyone looked at him, and Yang Jin frowned even more. He always felt that Bei Chenlong's smile was a bit treacherous, and he might be planning something , Thinking of this, Yang Jin felt a little uneasy.
But Bei Chenlong's words had come to this point, and everyone in the room was waiting for him to continue. Yang Jin definitely did not interrupt his reasoning at this time, so Yang Jin only pursed his lips tightly, showing a look of vigilance in his eyes.
"I don't know if you have observed carefully recently." Bei Chenlong asked, throwing a question, and when everyone thought about it for a while, and their eyes showed confusion, he said again just right, "The frequency of barbarians attacking the city outside the pass has become less and less. They are nomadic people on the prairie, and there is no rich rice in Beichen's fields on the prairie, and the food they rely on for survival is the cattle and sheep on the prairie, apart from the grain looted from Beichen."
The generals looked at each other, some didn't understand what Bei Chenlong was trying to elicit by saying these things, Bei Chenlong didn't care about their reactions, he looked very calm, and continued to say calmly:
"The barbarians stationed outside the customs will definitely not drive groups of cattle and sheep to the northern border, so the amount of food they carry with the army must be limited. If they want to maintain such a high-intensity siege frequency, their consumption It won't be smaller than us, how long can the food carried with the army last?"
At this point, among the generals, someone has already comprehended the meaning of Bei Chenlong's words, and took the initiative to speak:
"In this way, there must be food supplies behind the barbarians. As long as we cut off their logistics, then this group of barbarians can only sit and eat. When they can't hold on anymore, they will take the initiative to withdraw!"
This is a very simple and easy-to-understand reason. Anyone who has survived on the battlefield for a period of time will understand the reason. Many, now that Bei Chenlong mentions it, he immediately understands it.
The strength of the two armies is almost the same, and the side with sufficient supplies is more likely to win the battle. This is the experience accumulated by countless ancestors and wars since ancient times.
Bei Chenlong nodded and said with a smile:
"As long as we can try to eliminate the other party's food source, then the barbarians in front of us are just a group of paper tigers who are strong outsiders, so naturally we don't need to draw so many people from Poyan. At that time, we only need to borrow [-] troops from Poyan, plus The [-] soldiers Mingzheng withdrew, our people are enough to drive the barbarians back to the grassland."
As soon as this plan came out, all the generals nodded one after another, thinking that what Bei Chenlong said was reasonable, and this was a relatively feasible plan, which could also reduce the losses in the northern border as much as possible.
While all the generals agreed with this plan, Yang Jin frowned more and more. He always felt that Bei Chenlong hadn't finished speaking. This plan seemed perfect, but if the barbarians really retreated so easily, Why did Bei Chenlong delay this thought until now?
Just as Yang Jin frowned, thinking about what kind of medicine Beichenlong sold in the gourd, someone finally asked the most critical question:
"But general, where do the barbarians get their food, and who are they going to send to destroy the food and grass, and destroy the barbarian army's line of food and grass?"
After the voice fell, all the generals fell silent. They suddenly stopped talking, because they also realized the seriousness of this problem.
In order to cut off the enemy's supplies, there is no doubt that it is necessary to go deep into the enemy's rear and understand the enemy's logistics situation, so as to solve the problem fundamentally, but ordinary soldiers cannot complete such a task at all. The powerful martial arts, I am afraid that he was discovered before he got close enough, and he was executed without hesitation.
This task is not only difficult, but also dangerous. Even if it is successful, those who complete this feat will be recorded in history, but there are too few people who can and are willing to do this.
The generals looked at each other, and no one took the initiative to take up this task. Yang Jin's heart was full of alarm bells, and he subconsciously looked at Guo Wencheng, but seeing Guo Wencheng also looked at Bei Chenlong suspiciously, his eyes gradually became shocked. emerge.
"The subordinates think that for this task, it is more appropriate for General Guo to be the leader of the army."
Suddenly, a voice came out from the middle of the crowd, attracting the attention of the surrounding generals. Bei Chenlong looked over and recognized that the speaker was also a veteran. He had followed Bei Chenlong through life and death for no less than five years. , although not as close as Yang Jin, Guo Wencheng and others, this veteran gradually found his position.
Obviously, the person supported by this veteran was Bei Chenlong. He said what Bei Chenlong wanted to say but didn't say it clearly.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the faces of all the generals became more exciting. Those who had been silent about the battle between Bei Chenlong and Guo Wencheng still did not easily stand in line at this time. The generals in Weici began to express their attitudes and positions, and nodded in support of Guo Wencheng leading the army:
"Yes, the last general also thinks that General Guo is very suitable."
"General Guo is brave and good at fighting, and has great wisdom. He will definitely complete the mission smoothly!"
"The last general also agrees with General Guo to fight..."
Both Yang Jin and Guo Wencheng's expressions changed drastically. Yang Jin thought that even if Bei Chenlong had a grudge against Guo Wencheng, he would not act so quickly. In fact, he still underestimated Bei Chenlong's narrow-mindedness. He confirmed that Guo Wencheng threatened his general position, so he did not do any investigation and directly designed to frame Guo Wencheng.
In order to cut off the enemy's supply, it means that the barbarians have to go deep into the enemy's rear. Even if the barbarians have shown fatigue, it is not necessary to enter the grassland after going deep into the enemy's rear, but this trip is still dangerous. The things that Bei Chenlong thinks are important, the barbarians will naturally strictly control them. Take care, Bei Chenlong did see the crux of the barbarian soldiers, but he happened to be short of someone to complete this task.
Just at this time, Guo Wencheng touched his bottom line.
Even this was not Guo Wencheng's will, but the emperor's intentional separation in order to weaken Bei Chenlong.
Whether it is the emperor or Bei Chenlong, Yang Jin felt unbelievable and uncontrollable fury. Now the enemy is at hand, and the existence of barbarians threatens the entire northern border. They have already occupied Mingzheng, and there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood under their feet. .
They stared at Xingbeiguan and Poyan. At this time, in order to relieve Beichenlong's military power, the emperor tried to alienate Beichenlong and his confidants. However, Beichenlong, because of his own suspicion, easily entered the trap and would not accept anyone. He made a decision arbitrarily, and even at this moment, he still wanted Guo Wencheng to die.
In the eyes of these superiors, the safety of the country and the life and death of the people are more important than the power in their hands. Once it touches their own interests and makes them feel dangerous, no matter how much you have done for them, He has forgotten all about how many great achievements you have made, and only remembers the unforgivable sin you committed.
Yang Jin was so angry that he trembled uncontrollably. He gritted his teeth and opened his eyes wide. At this moment, the generals who had supported Guo Wencheng suddenly seemed to be choked by someone. They were all speechless. Among them, none of them spoke for Guo Wencheng any more, and they all chose to remain silent.
Because they felt the immediate crisis, if they didn't support Bei Chenlong's decision and raise any objection to this matter, then the hero who wants to fight behind the enemy lines in this excellent idea that everyone agrees with might become themselves.No one is really a fool, they all understand what this sacrifice means.
The reason why they supported Guo Wencheng before was because they also felt that Bei Chenlong's behavior was too selfish and overbearing, not only disobeying the imperial decree, but also putting Guo Wencheng under house arrest, so they provided support and help to Guo Wencheng within their own reach, but they didn't know such behavior It will only further promote Bei Chenlong's suspicion and anger, until he never wants to let Guo Wencheng go.
In the face of the test of life and death, the loyalty between them had to compromise in the end. If some of them were really willing to go to the enemy's rear, Guo Wencheng might be able to save it temporarily, but no one was willing to sacrifice themselves to help others.
Their reason is very simple, Yang Jin can understand it, but can't agree with it.
Among the generals who expressed their agreement, Yang Jin suddenly raised his voice and said:
"General! This subordinate thinks this is inappropriate!"
Yang Jin's words successfully attracted Bei Chenlong's gaze. Bei Chenlong's eyes were dim and dark, and there seemed to be an inexplicable deep meaning flowing. Yang Jin, who was angry, saw it, but didn't want to pay attention to it.
"The subordinates think that since General Guo has been promoted to the temporary general of the three armies, he should command the battle after the three armies, instead of going deep into the battlefield and being trapped among the enemy groups."
Although the smile on Bei Chenlong's face did not restrain himself, the brilliance in the depths of his pupils became viscous and contained a stern light. He pursed the corners of his lips, and the smile did not reach his eyes, and he asked in an easy-going manner:
"Oh? Then Governor Yang thinks, who is more suitable to fight?"
The words have come to this point, Yang Jinming knew that as long as he opened his mouth, the disaster would be brought to his head, but he did not make a choice to protect himself, but closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the turbid air in Xingbei Pass, without hesitation. said:
"The subordinates would like to ask for orders to leave the customs and fight against the barbarians."
Bei Chenlong's pupils shrank again and again, and finally he laughed wildly. After he had laughed, the smile on his mouth became more mocking. His eyes swept across Guo Wencheng's pale face contemptuously, and suddenly he felt that things became interesting.
In order to protect Guo Wencheng, Yang Jin took the initiative to ask for his order to leave the customs. Of course, Bei Chenlong could not refuse. Yang Jin's official position is not as high as Guo Wencheng's now, and it is true as he said. After Guo Wencheng was promoted by the emperor, if someone is available Next, it's a bit inappropriate to go out of the customs in person.
Maybe this is brotherhood to Yang Jin and Guo Wencheng, but in Bei Chenlong's eyes, they are a typical example of a partnership, knowing that the situation is weak, but still going against him.From the moment Yang Jin said that he would release Guo Wencheng from house arrest, Bei Chenlong concluded that Yang Jin had also betrayed him. Now that Yang Jin tried his best to protect Guo Wencheng, and even abandoned himself, it made him even more vigilant towards Guo Wencheng. Rise to unprecedented heights.
But Yang Jin's pleading made him lose the reason to design Guo Wencheng directly. Even though it made him regret, but at the same time, he found another pleasure, that is, let Guo Wencheng watch the people who are "loyal" to him gradually lose themselves For his proposition, a friend who was sympathetic to him came forward and exchanged his life for his life.
Bei Chenlong wants to force Guo Wencheng, drive him crazy, and force him to rebel, just like the emperor forced Bei Chenlong, using the same method to force Guo Wencheng to lose his mind and expose his flaws, so that he can make it himself, so that Bei Chenlong can clean it up in a legitimate way. his reason.
Although Bei Chenlong is far away at the border, his heart is like a mirror. He can guess clearly what the emperor thinks, but he considers himself not an open-minded person. He is suspicious and selfish, so he admits it.
But he is also full of arrogance. Even if he has led the northern border for so many years, even if the emperor forces him to remove Guo Wencheng, his foundation cannot be shaken. He still has the military power of 30 troops in the northern border, and he can still continue to fight against the emperor. To pose a threat, so cutting off Yang Jin and Guo Wencheng was his choice.
As soon as Yang Jin said this, everyone in the tent turned their eyes to him, but no one commented on it. They glanced at Yang Jin and then at Guo Wencheng, knowing that this time the matter could not end, so None of them want to wade into this muddy water.
Therefore, when everyone chose to remain silent, only Guo Wencheng's face changed suddenly, with a flustered look in his eyes.The smile on Bei Chenlong's face became deeper and deeper, and his eyes were full of joy and clarity. Before Guo Wencheng could speak, he said with a smile:
"Governor Yang puts the overall situation first. He not only sympathizes with the people in the northern border, but also takes care of General Guo. The friendship between the two of them is really touching. I really admire this general. If this is the case, I will immediately order that Governor Yang Lead [-] elite soldiers, go around to the enemy's rear, destroy the enemy's supplies, and wait for the reinforcements from Mingzheng and Poyan to arrive, and immediately go out to meet the enemy!"
The military order has been issued, and it is a foregone conclusion.
Bei Chenlong waved his hand to indicate that the generals could leave the camp, Yang Jin turned his head and left, and Guo Wencheng also walked away. When the generals retreated, they all turned their heads to look at the direction where Yang Jin and Guo Wencheng left, and then helplessly Shake your head and sigh.
Guo Wencheng and Yang Jin had a big fight, and the two almost broke up.
The garrisons of Poyan and Mingzheng did not make Bei Chenlong wait too long. At dusk the next day, a total of [-] reinforcements arrived at Xingbei Pass. Bei Chenlong secretly arranged for the reinforcements to rest for one night. Jin led five thousand soldiers and horses to sneak out of the city, circled a large circle outside the city, avoided the barbarian garrison, and sneaked to the rear.
Yang Jin led his troops to guard the rear of the barbarian soldiers, lying in ambush on both sides of the road with complex terrain. After waiting for half a day, he saw a group of about 5000 barbarian soldiers coming towards the barbarian garrison, pulling a carriage filled with beef and mutton.
When his men approached, Yang Jin immediately ordered to charge, broke into the enemy's ranks, and smashed the barbarians who were escorting the food into pieces.The barbarians quickly reorganized and fought against the army led by Yang Jin. At the same time, they released news that the barbarian garrison outside Xingbei Pass came to support them.
When the barbarians got the news, they immediately dispatched an army of 2 people to increase the number of troops. Inside the Xingbei Pass, Bei Chenlong kept an eye on the movement outside the pass, but when he saw a sudden commotion in the barbarian camp, he ordered the initiative to attack, with a total of 18 troops. All the troops came out, divided into three groups, and attacked the barbarian camp from three directions.
A few days ago, the barbarians had lost nearly 11 troops, and Yang Jin lured another [-] away. The remaining [-] people were guarding Xingbei Pass. They did not expect that the strength of Xingbei Pass had increased, and the Xingbei Pass army suddenly increased in strength Under the impact, they were quickly dispersed, and a large number of casualties began to occur. The Xingbeiguan garrison successfully bit back the barbarians, causing heavy losses to the barbarians.
This battle was still led by Bei Chenlong himself, and Lin Aoxue went out with the army and fought bravely with the team. Every time she made a move with the silver spear in her hand, it would take the lives of one or two barbarians, even the soldiers beside her. One after another fell to the ground and fell off their horses, Lin Aoxue was still walking smoothly among the rebellious army, extremely brave.
The barbarians can naturally see that Lin Aoxue's ability is far superior to others, so there are always no less than ten barbarians around Lin Aoxue. Lin Aoxue has not been absent from every battle in recent days. And secondly, the exhaustion of the mind made her combat ability decline compared to the beginning.
Under the joint attack of the barbarians, Lin Aoxue was accidentally slashed on the arm by the barbarians, and her arm trembled. Fortunately, she finally grasped the silver spear steadily, and did not let go of the weapon. The barbarian shot through.
Lin Aoxue's eyes were sharp, even though she was injured, she still had the momentum like a rainbow, and rushed into the enemy's ranks, ignoring the injury on her arm, and charged among the barbarians, but after a few moves, the barbarians beside her He fell to the ground. In Beichen Kingdom's army, there are few brave generals like Lin Aoxue.
This time, the counterattack battle gained the upper hand from the very beginning. The confidence of Xing Beiguan soldiers increased greatly, and their morale was great. Even the soldiers in the army became more and more brave in killing the enemy. Turned upside down.
The barbarians were defeated, and had no choice but to retreat another ten miles. As for the situation behind the barbarian camp, Lin Aoxue and others did not know.
Soon, the barbarians regained their momentum, supported those in the rear and would return to the battlefield. The accident was suppressed, and the whole army counterattacked, using the extremely crazy method of injuring one thousand enemies and self-inflicted eight hundred to destroy Beichen's army. They suppressed it again, but in this battle, the barbarians lost more than [-], and Bei Chenlong's army lost less than [-], which can be regarded as a complete victory.
The garrison retreated to Xingbei Pass, and none of the [-] soldiers led by Yang Jin returned, and all died in battle.
After Guo Wencheng returned to Guanzhong, he was devastated, and he no longer had the vigor and vigor of the past.The barbarians retreated, and the battle situation behind the enemy was clear.
Yang Jin died, and even the name tag was left on the battlefield, but could not be retrieved.
Guo Wencheng was so depressed that he knelt under the tower of Xingbeiguan, covered his face and wept bitterly, beat the ground like crazy, remorse and blamed himself, and hit the backs of his hands until they were bloody, but the pain in those hands was far less than the pain in his heart. suffering.
He hates, hates that Bei Chenlong is insidious, suspicious, and cunning like a fox, hates himself for being loyal, stupid, and unsophisticated, and also hates himself for being cowardly and incompetent, for not following his friend's advice to take a chance, and also hates why he had to fight with Yang Jin before he left the customs. An argument.
It was he who personally buried his best friend who had been with him for ten years.
"I'm confused, I'm confused!"
That day when Yang recently took him out of the ban, his words were still ringing in his ears, the reprimand hit his heart like a heavy hammer, tearing his chest cavity to bleed pus, it became a prophecy.
Guo Wencheng prostrated himself on the ground, tears streaming down his face. He was a majestic seven-foot man, and he didn't save a bit of face.
When Lin Aoxue saw Guo Wencheng again, she was in the military medical camp. She had just been stabbed in the arm by a barbarian on the battlefield, so she came to the military medical camp to find Yunyan to bandage and treat her.Although Yunyan is not a military doctor, the wounded soldiers in the battalion are recuperating in the military doctor's camp, so it is not surprising that Yunyan moved here temporarily.
Seeing Lin Aoxue coming, Yunyan put down the things she was busy with, and walked quickly to the door, her thoughts were delicate, almost the moment Lin Aoxue stepped into the door, her eyes were fixed on the knife wound on Lin Aoxue's arm, her eyebrows frowned. Wrinkled, said angrily:
"How did you get hurt?"
Lin Aoxue was not surprised, she waved her hand and said:
"Oh, swords have no eyes on the battlefield, such a cut is nothing, it doesn't matter."
Yun Yan couldn't see that Lin Aoxue was so inattentive to her body. Just as Lin Aoxue finished speaking, Yunyan slapped Lin Aoxue's forehead, stuffing all the latter's rambling words into her throat. gauze, eyes wide open, glaring at Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue belatedly realized that what she said just now offended Yun Yan, she immediately silenced her, with a bit of bewilderment on her face.
"Put your arms out."
Yunyan is fierce.
Lin Aoxue shrank her neck, not daring to disobey, and immediately handed over her injured arm.
Yun Yan couldn't help but cut Lin Aoxue's clothes twice, exposing the wound, Lin Aoxue's heart ached so badly, her eyes turned red, tears were about to fall, she said urgently:
"Ah! Yan'er! How did you cut the clothes! It's enough to mend the edge of the knife, but you can't wear it after cutting it!"
This is the clothes that Yunyan made for her.
Today's battle came suddenly, and the battle has been tense these days. Her military uniform is already tattered and she can't wear it anymore. The battalion's resources are tight, and no new uniforms have been distributed. Lin Aoxue put on the new clothes that Yunyan made for her. Before she was dressed warmly, she was forced to go to the battlefield, but she was accidentally stabbed, and she was already heartbroken, so it was a good thing, Yun Yan directly cut off her sleeves.
Upon hearing this, Yunyan raised her head and saw Lin Aoxue's heartbroken expression again, the little bit of resentment in her heart dissipated instantly, she glared at Lin Aoxue, and said with feigned anger:
"This is the clothes I made, why can't I cut them? You just wait for me, there is a new set in the closet over there, and I will change it later."
Lin Aoxue was sealed by a new set of clothes, she blinked her eyes, looked at her cuffs that had just been cut off, still feeling sorry, so she simply turned her head away and stopped looking.
Seeing her appearance like this, Yun Yan couldn't hold back her expression, the corners of her lips raised involuntarily, when this person didn't open her heart, she put on a stinky face that others owed her money, and she didn't pay for it. After trying my best, I can finally see some emotions that ordinary people have.
She likes such a change in Lin Aoxue, and only in this way can people truly realize that this person is alive in her life, gradually occupying every tiny and short moment in her life.
Even though there is still a long way to go between them, facing Lin Aoxue like this, she feels that everything is worth it.
"Okay, don't get wet on the wound."
Yunyan was very skillful in treating the wound, and in a short while, Lin Aoxue's wound was bandaged up.Lin Aoxue withdrew her hand, looked at her broken cuff, and tentatively asked Yun Yan with a distressed face:
"Yan'er, can you mend this dress?"
Hearing this, Yun Yan was angry and funny, she rolled Lin Aoxue's eyes, and answered her helplessly and dotingly:
"Okay! Make it up!"
It's not difficult to just change the sleeves, why didn't she realize that Lin Aoxue was so stingy before.Lin Aoxue was overjoyed when she got the answer she wanted, and happily changed into new clothes.
The war had just ended, and before Bei Chenlong had time to deal with Guo Wencheng further, Guo Wencheng came to the military medical camp when he was free, and happened to meet Lin Aoxue who had just come out of the military medical camp after bandaging his wounds.
Guo Wencheng stood still in front of her, and after a long silence, he said:
"Lieutenant Lin, Governor Yang is dead."
Lin Aoxue was taken aback for a moment, but didn't recover for a while.
A wry smile appeared on Guo Wencheng's face, then he shook his head and said nothing to Lin Aoxue, only said:
"I was sorry for you when I was in the capital."
The guilt and pain in his heart almost tortured him to the point of madness. His heart was like an ocean. He had always been loyal to Bei Chenlong, but he did not expect to end up like this. Even Yang Jin died. What else could Bei Chenlong not give up? What about?
The reason why he came to Lin Aoxue and apologized to her was because when they went to the capital together, he had gotten closer to the Zongqin Palace because of Lin Aoxue, fearing that she would be bewitched by the Zongqin and deviate from his own way, and would treat Beichenlong unfaithful.
Now that I think about it, Guo Wencheng just wants to laugh at himself, he is just stupid and loyal, not only dragging down Yang Jin, but also implicating Lin Aoxue, or, if Lin Aoxue had the opportunity to stay in the capital, he would not be so trapped in the quagmire Deep, until, can no longer withdraw.
After Guo Wencheng finished speaking, he turned and left under Lin Aoxue's inexplicable gaze.
Lin Aoxue went in without knowing it, and went back to her tent in a daze. Even the joy of seeing Yunyan just now faded away. She closed her eyes and thought about what Guo Wencheng said to her just now, and how the Xingbei Pass has become more and more serious recently. Weird situation.
She has only one county lieutenant, and she is not qualified to participate in important meetings in the army, so she has not received the notice of Yang Jin's secret exit. She thought that Yang Jin, Guo Wencheng and other generals would go out with the army and then withdraw together. It was obviously a good raid, why did they get the news that Yang Jin died in battle after returning?
But she had heard about the imperial decree some time ago, and now she connected all the news, and she also had some guesses in her heart.
Yang Jin was kind to her. When she first entered the barracks, it was mostly Yang Jin who took care of her and provided her with all kinds of help. She did not follow Yang Jin's team to fight once or twice. This person has a kind heart that cares about the country and the people. When the Yong'an incident happened, Yang Jin knelt down and cried bitterly when he saw the tragic situation in Yong'an. At that time, Lin Aoxue knew that Yang Jin was a good person.
He was very kind and kind, and because of this, sooner or later he would have a rift with Bei Chenlong and die at Bei Chenlong's hands.
Lin Aoxue had expected it, but she never expected that this day would come so early.
She let out a long sigh, but shook her head after all, feeling a surge of regret in her heart, but she couldn't do anything about it.
Yang Jin died, and Xing Beiguan lost another good general.
The author has something to say: I finished writing, barely an hour late, I tried my best, and finally I can go back to sleep with peace of mind
Routine comments please accept please click!
Bei Chenlong's forehead was throbbing with veins. He suppressed his anger and coldly glanced at the faces of the people in the tent with different expressions, especially those who strongly supported Guo Wencheng and wanted to invite Guo Wencheng out to participate in the discussion. point.
When Yang Jin also took a step forward, bowed and said:
"General, Guo Wencheng has always been loyal to the general. He has been guarding the border with the general for more than ten years. Now the foreign enemies are stalking us. We really shouldn't delay too much time on this matter. If you have any doubts, why not wait until this battle is over. How about inviting Guo Wencheng to the meeting first?"
Bei Chenlong's face darkened completely, his sullen eyes fell on Yang Jin, his silence was like a surging ocean, and he asked coldly:
"Yang Jin, even you think that what happened today is the fault of this general?"
Yang Jin frowned, knowing that his words just now might have touched Bei Chenlong's sensitive nerves, but Guo Wencheng was his close friend, the two of them left Beijing together, and had followed Bei Chenlong on the border for so many years, yet Bei Chenlong treated Guo Wencheng like this Doubt is really chilling.
His best friend was in distress and was under suspicion. Even if Yang Jin knew that such words would offend Bei Chenlong, he couldn't ignore Guo Wencheng's experience, so he bowed again and continued:
"General, my subordinates just think that repelling the barbarians is the most important thing right now. As for Guo Wencheng, we can discuss it later."
Bei Chenlong's gaze fell, he didn't show anything on the face, but a high wall was built in his heart, he waved his hand, and said coldly:
"In that case, well, Yang Jin, go find Guo Wencheng and discuss matters together."
Yang Jin was overjoyed when he heard the words, he thought he would have to spend more time talking, but he never thought that Bei Chenlong would let go so easily, he bowed long and thanked Bei Chenlong:
"My subordinates thank General Guo Wencheng for his generosity!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and went out, taking Bei Chenlong's order to pick up Guo Wencheng.
Guo Wencheng, who was thinking about the current situation in Xingbeiguan in the tent, heard that Yang Jin came to look for him. He was stunned for a moment, and then became confused. When he saw Yang Jin, Guo Wencheng reprimanded Yang Jin angrily:
"madness!"
He was so angry that his face changed color, Yang Jin was really so ungrateful, Bei Chenlong was already suspicious of him, Yang Jin stood up for him at this time, if Bei Chenlong was stalking them, the two of them would suffer together.It's fine for him to be dealt with alone, why did Yang Jin suffer together with him!
Yang Jin didn't change his expression. Of course he understood why Guo Wencheng was so angry, but that couldn't be a reason for him to sit idly by.Bei Chenlong was narrow-minded, even Guo Wencheng, who had been with him for so many years, could doubt him and put him under house arrest. What could he not do?
They had been loyal to Bei Chenlong for more than ten years before, and they could not gain Bei Chenlong's trust. So, even if they lived in peace for the time being, how would they know what would be the next thing that would make them suspicious after a long time?Since Bei Chenlong has never been able to gain the trust, what does it matter if he is now suspected?
Yang Jin shook his head and sighed, allowing Guo Wencheng to reprimand him, and when his anger subsided, he said:
"Bei Chenlong has such a heart, it's hard to win the hearts of the people. You have a sacred destiny, and Bei Chenlong made things difficult for you. It's disrespectful. Brother Guo, why don't you use the situation to take advantage of it!"
Guo Wencheng was shocked when he heard the words, he hurriedly covered Yang Jin's mouth, and shouted anxiously:
"Are you crazy?! How dare you speak wildly?!"
Yang Jin waved away Guo Wencheng's hand, and said with a sullen face:
"I'm not crazy, the crazy person is Bei Chenlong!"
Guo Wencheng jumped up anxiously and flatly refused:
"No, no, no, I'm a subordinate, how can I commit a crime, it's absolutely impossible!"
He didn't do anything right now, and he could prove his innocence. Once he did what Yang Jin said, he really couldn't turn back, and Yang Jin would be implicated.Seeing that Guo Wencheng refused without even thinking about it, Yang Jin felt a little resentful:
"Bei Chenlong has treated you like this, and you are willing to work for him. You don't even know when you are killed by him like this!"
Guo Wencheng refused to listen to persuasion, waved his hand and said:
"Brother Yang, you don't need to say any more, today's matter is caused by His Majesty's edict, the general will not be so confused."
Yang Jin was already trembling with anger. He glared at Guo Wencheng, pointed at his nose, and said angrily:
"He is not confused, you are confused!"
Yang Jin failed to persuade Guo Wencheng in the end, he gritted his teeth helplessly and angrily, and sighed:
"That's all, you go to the tent with me to discuss matters first, the most important thing right now is to repel the barbarians, other things, I will talk to you some other day!"
It has been quite a while since he came out, if there is any further delay, something might happen.
Guo Wencheng didn't argue with him any more, followed Yang Jin to Bei Chenlong's camp, and thanked Bei Chenlong in full view, Bei Chenlong didn't mention the imperial decree, he just said:
"Right now, the barbarian soldiers are showing signs of fatigue. I will take this opportunity to inflict a heavy blow on them. Do you have any good strategies?"
His eyes swept across his face from the crowd, his attitude was indifferent and majestic.
As soon as Guo Wencheng came, the previous generals didn't continue to make trouble. When Bei Chenlong opened his mouth, they were all silent and didn't say a word.
Bei Chenlong snorted coldly in his heart, his expression indifferent.
"This subordinate believes that although the barbarians are showing signs of fatigue, the soldiers of our army have also reached their limit. Active attack may be effective, but there is also a certain risk. If you don't ask your majesty, please ask your majesty to increase troops secretly. At that time, we will Fang’s soldiers will go out to meet the enemy again, and they will be more confident.”
The speaker's position was not very clear, he had not clearly supported Guo Wencheng before, but he might not necessarily be on Bei Chenlong's side.
After he finished speaking, someone responded immediately, saying that what he said was reasonable, Bei Chenlong glanced at them sideways, and said indifferently:
"If His Majesty is willing to increase troops, why is the current situation in Xingbei Pass like this?"
A contemptuous sneer curled up on the corner of his lips, and under the surprised and puzzled eyes of everyone, he continued:
"The general sent scouts out of the customs as early as more than a month ago, and detected a major change in the barbarians. The successful integration of several major tribes had already expected the situation like today, so at that time, the general had already written a letter to the capital, I ask His Majesty to add more troops to the northern border, but everyone present must have heard of His Majesty's reply to Xing Beiguan a few days ago, and His Majesty asked Ben to return to Beijing to report on his duties at such a critical moment!"
Everyone in the audience looked at each other in blank dismay. Everyone in the battalion had indeed heard about the imperial decree. Otherwise, those generals who had made good deals with Guo Wen would not have come to Bei Chenlong to argue. Without knowing it, hearing what Bei Chenlong said at this time, they immediately panicked. Judging from this situation, the emperor really didn't want to send more troops to the northern border.
However, there is not enough troops in the northern border, and the temporary recruits will not be useful in wartime. If there is no additional troops, what should we do?
In fact, Bei Chenlong had already discussed this matter with the military adviser before summoning the generals to come to discuss the matter, so he already had a plan in mind, but this choice was a bit risky and might not pass the public discussion.
He raised his hand, signaling to the generals to be calm, and then said:
"As for the shortage of troops, I have an idea and want to discuss it with you gentlemen."
As soon as Bei Chenlong finished speaking, someone among the generals who had been silent before asked:
"Does the general have a clever plan?"
Hearing this, Bei Chenlong showed a stern smile on his face, waved his hands and said:
"It's not a good calculation. At best, it's a compromise. The general will secretly withdraw 20 troops from Poyan, and rush to Xingbei Pass. In addition, the [-] remnants who returned from Mingzheng's defeat, can we gather all of them?" With an army of [-], encircling the barbarian army from both sides can put great pressure on them."
As soon as this remark came out, the generals were in an uproar. Some of the generals who supported Guo Wencheng earlier raised objections:
"But general, with the [-] troops withdrawn from Poyan, there are only [-] remaining, and [-] barbarians are watching outside Poyan. In this way, once the barbarians find out about the withdrawal of troops in the pass, it will be difficult for Poyan to hold on. It is likely to become the second Mingzheng!"
The battle report of Mingzheng's fall has already been conveyed, and the defeated army will soon arrive at Xingbei Pass, so all the generals present are well aware of the situation.Withdraw troops from Poyan to attack the barbarians outside Xingbei Pass, hold Xingbei Pass, but may lose Poyan, this choice is very difficult and dangerous, no one can guarantee that Poyan can really withstand the endless attacks of barbarians .
After this person raised objections, the generals in the room discussed one after another, with mixed results, some agreed with Bei Chenlong, and some felt that this move was inappropriate.
The smile on the corners of Bei Chenlong's lips did not disappear. He glanced at the person who spoke before, and the smile in his eyes was more meaningful. He nodded and tapped the table with his knuckles, signaling that the generals present should be calm and restless. Then he said:
"Yes, this move is indeed difficult and dangerous, and there are great uncertainties, but if we want to completely repel the barbarians, we must have at least [-] troops drawn from Poyan, otherwise we cannot ensure that we can completely repel the barbarians. The tug-of-war will only increase the consumption of each pass. It is very risky to act like this, but we don't have the confidence to gamble, so there will be another plan."
When Bei Chenlong said that there was a second plan, everyone looked at him, and Yang Jin frowned even more. He always felt that Bei Chenlong's smile was a bit treacherous, and he might be planning something , Thinking of this, Yang Jin felt a little uneasy.
But Bei Chenlong's words had come to this point, and everyone in the room was waiting for him to continue. Yang Jin definitely did not interrupt his reasoning at this time, so Yang Jin only pursed his lips tightly, showing a look of vigilance in his eyes.
"I don't know if you have observed carefully recently." Bei Chenlong asked, throwing a question, and when everyone thought about it for a while, and their eyes showed confusion, he said again just right, "The frequency of barbarians attacking the city outside the pass has become less and less. They are nomadic people on the prairie, and there is no rich rice in Beichen's fields on the prairie, and the food they rely on for survival is the cattle and sheep on the prairie, apart from the grain looted from Beichen."
The generals looked at each other, some didn't understand what Bei Chenlong was trying to elicit by saying these things, Bei Chenlong didn't care about their reactions, he looked very calm, and continued to say calmly:
"The barbarians stationed outside the customs will definitely not drive groups of cattle and sheep to the northern border, so the amount of food they carry with the army must be limited. If they want to maintain such a high-intensity siege frequency, their consumption It won't be smaller than us, how long can the food carried with the army last?"
At this point, among the generals, someone has already comprehended the meaning of Bei Chenlong's words, and took the initiative to speak:
"In this way, there must be food supplies behind the barbarians. As long as we cut off their logistics, then this group of barbarians can only sit and eat. When they can't hold on anymore, they will take the initiative to withdraw!"
This is a very simple and easy-to-understand reason. Anyone who has survived on the battlefield for a period of time will understand the reason. Many, now that Bei Chenlong mentions it, he immediately understands it.
The strength of the two armies is almost the same, and the side with sufficient supplies is more likely to win the battle. This is the experience accumulated by countless ancestors and wars since ancient times.
Bei Chenlong nodded and said with a smile:
"As long as we can try to eliminate the other party's food source, then the barbarians in front of us are just a group of paper tigers who are strong outsiders, so naturally we don't need to draw so many people from Poyan. At that time, we only need to borrow [-] troops from Poyan, plus The [-] soldiers Mingzheng withdrew, our people are enough to drive the barbarians back to the grassland."
As soon as this plan came out, all the generals nodded one after another, thinking that what Bei Chenlong said was reasonable, and this was a relatively feasible plan, which could also reduce the losses in the northern border as much as possible.
While all the generals agreed with this plan, Yang Jin frowned more and more. He always felt that Bei Chenlong hadn't finished speaking. This plan seemed perfect, but if the barbarians really retreated so easily, Why did Bei Chenlong delay this thought until now?
Just as Yang Jin frowned, thinking about what kind of medicine Beichenlong sold in the gourd, someone finally asked the most critical question:
"But general, where do the barbarians get their food, and who are they going to send to destroy the food and grass, and destroy the barbarian army's line of food and grass?"
After the voice fell, all the generals fell silent. They suddenly stopped talking, because they also realized the seriousness of this problem.
In order to cut off the enemy's supplies, there is no doubt that it is necessary to go deep into the enemy's rear and understand the enemy's logistics situation, so as to solve the problem fundamentally, but ordinary soldiers cannot complete such a task at all. The powerful martial arts, I am afraid that he was discovered before he got close enough, and he was executed without hesitation.
This task is not only difficult, but also dangerous. Even if it is successful, those who complete this feat will be recorded in history, but there are too few people who can and are willing to do this.
The generals looked at each other, and no one took the initiative to take up this task. Yang Jin's heart was full of alarm bells, and he subconsciously looked at Guo Wencheng, but seeing Guo Wencheng also looked at Bei Chenlong suspiciously, his eyes gradually became shocked. emerge.
"The subordinates think that for this task, it is more appropriate for General Guo to be the leader of the army."
Suddenly, a voice came out from the middle of the crowd, attracting the attention of the surrounding generals. Bei Chenlong looked over and recognized that the speaker was also a veteran. He had followed Bei Chenlong through life and death for no less than five years. , although not as close as Yang Jin, Guo Wencheng and others, this veteran gradually found his position.
Obviously, the person supported by this veteran was Bei Chenlong. He said what Bei Chenlong wanted to say but didn't say it clearly.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the faces of all the generals became more exciting. Those who had been silent about the battle between Bei Chenlong and Guo Wencheng still did not easily stand in line at this time. The generals in Weici began to express their attitudes and positions, and nodded in support of Guo Wencheng leading the army:
"Yes, the last general also thinks that General Guo is very suitable."
"General Guo is brave and good at fighting, and has great wisdom. He will definitely complete the mission smoothly!"
"The last general also agrees with General Guo to fight..."
Both Yang Jin and Guo Wencheng's expressions changed drastically. Yang Jin thought that even if Bei Chenlong had a grudge against Guo Wencheng, he would not act so quickly. In fact, he still underestimated Bei Chenlong's narrow-mindedness. He confirmed that Guo Wencheng threatened his general position, so he did not do any investigation and directly designed to frame Guo Wencheng.
In order to cut off the enemy's supply, it means that the barbarians have to go deep into the enemy's rear. Even if the barbarians have shown fatigue, it is not necessary to enter the grassland after going deep into the enemy's rear, but this trip is still dangerous. The things that Bei Chenlong thinks are important, the barbarians will naturally strictly control them. Take care, Bei Chenlong did see the crux of the barbarian soldiers, but he happened to be short of someone to complete this task.
Just at this time, Guo Wencheng touched his bottom line.
Even this was not Guo Wencheng's will, but the emperor's intentional separation in order to weaken Bei Chenlong.
Whether it is the emperor or Bei Chenlong, Yang Jin felt unbelievable and uncontrollable fury. Now the enemy is at hand, and the existence of barbarians threatens the entire northern border. They have already occupied Mingzheng, and there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood under their feet. .
They stared at Xingbeiguan and Poyan. At this time, in order to relieve Beichenlong's military power, the emperor tried to alienate Beichenlong and his confidants. However, Beichenlong, because of his own suspicion, easily entered the trap and would not accept anyone. He made a decision arbitrarily, and even at this moment, he still wanted Guo Wencheng to die.
In the eyes of these superiors, the safety of the country and the life and death of the people are more important than the power in their hands. Once it touches their own interests and makes them feel dangerous, no matter how much you have done for them, He has forgotten all about how many great achievements you have made, and only remembers the unforgivable sin you committed.
Yang Jin was so angry that he trembled uncontrollably. He gritted his teeth and opened his eyes wide. At this moment, the generals who had supported Guo Wencheng suddenly seemed to be choked by someone. They were all speechless. Among them, none of them spoke for Guo Wencheng any more, and they all chose to remain silent.
Because they felt the immediate crisis, if they didn't support Bei Chenlong's decision and raise any objection to this matter, then the hero who wants to fight behind the enemy lines in this excellent idea that everyone agrees with might become themselves.No one is really a fool, they all understand what this sacrifice means.
The reason why they supported Guo Wencheng before was because they also felt that Bei Chenlong's behavior was too selfish and overbearing, not only disobeying the imperial decree, but also putting Guo Wencheng under house arrest, so they provided support and help to Guo Wencheng within their own reach, but they didn't know such behavior It will only further promote Bei Chenlong's suspicion and anger, until he never wants to let Guo Wencheng go.
In the face of the test of life and death, the loyalty between them had to compromise in the end. If some of them were really willing to go to the enemy's rear, Guo Wencheng might be able to save it temporarily, but no one was willing to sacrifice themselves to help others.
Their reason is very simple, Yang Jin can understand it, but can't agree with it.
Among the generals who expressed their agreement, Yang Jin suddenly raised his voice and said:
"General! This subordinate thinks this is inappropriate!"
Yang Jin's words successfully attracted Bei Chenlong's gaze. Bei Chenlong's eyes were dim and dark, and there seemed to be an inexplicable deep meaning flowing. Yang Jin, who was angry, saw it, but didn't want to pay attention to it.
"The subordinates think that since General Guo has been promoted to the temporary general of the three armies, he should command the battle after the three armies, instead of going deep into the battlefield and being trapped among the enemy groups."
Although the smile on Bei Chenlong's face did not restrain himself, the brilliance in the depths of his pupils became viscous and contained a stern light. He pursed the corners of his lips, and the smile did not reach his eyes, and he asked in an easy-going manner:
"Oh? Then Governor Yang thinks, who is more suitable to fight?"
The words have come to this point, Yang Jinming knew that as long as he opened his mouth, the disaster would be brought to his head, but he did not make a choice to protect himself, but closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the turbid air in Xingbei Pass, without hesitation. said:
"The subordinates would like to ask for orders to leave the customs and fight against the barbarians."
Bei Chenlong's pupils shrank again and again, and finally he laughed wildly. After he had laughed, the smile on his mouth became more mocking. His eyes swept across Guo Wencheng's pale face contemptuously, and suddenly he felt that things became interesting.
In order to protect Guo Wencheng, Yang Jin took the initiative to ask for his order to leave the customs. Of course, Bei Chenlong could not refuse. Yang Jin's official position is not as high as Guo Wencheng's now, and it is true as he said. After Guo Wencheng was promoted by the emperor, if someone is available Next, it's a bit inappropriate to go out of the customs in person.
Maybe this is brotherhood to Yang Jin and Guo Wencheng, but in Bei Chenlong's eyes, they are a typical example of a partnership, knowing that the situation is weak, but still going against him.From the moment Yang Jin said that he would release Guo Wencheng from house arrest, Bei Chenlong concluded that Yang Jin had also betrayed him. Now that Yang Jin tried his best to protect Guo Wencheng, and even abandoned himself, it made him even more vigilant towards Guo Wencheng. Rise to unprecedented heights.
But Yang Jin's pleading made him lose the reason to design Guo Wencheng directly. Even though it made him regret, but at the same time, he found another pleasure, that is, let Guo Wencheng watch the people who are "loyal" to him gradually lose themselves For his proposition, a friend who was sympathetic to him came forward and exchanged his life for his life.
Bei Chenlong wants to force Guo Wencheng, drive him crazy, and force him to rebel, just like the emperor forced Bei Chenlong, using the same method to force Guo Wencheng to lose his mind and expose his flaws, so that he can make it himself, so that Bei Chenlong can clean it up in a legitimate way. his reason.
Although Bei Chenlong is far away at the border, his heart is like a mirror. He can guess clearly what the emperor thinks, but he considers himself not an open-minded person. He is suspicious and selfish, so he admits it.
But he is also full of arrogance. Even if he has led the northern border for so many years, even if the emperor forces him to remove Guo Wencheng, his foundation cannot be shaken. He still has the military power of 30 troops in the northern border, and he can still continue to fight against the emperor. To pose a threat, so cutting off Yang Jin and Guo Wencheng was his choice.
As soon as Yang Jin said this, everyone in the tent turned their eyes to him, but no one commented on it. They glanced at Yang Jin and then at Guo Wencheng, knowing that this time the matter could not end, so None of them want to wade into this muddy water.
Therefore, when everyone chose to remain silent, only Guo Wencheng's face changed suddenly, with a flustered look in his eyes.The smile on Bei Chenlong's face became deeper and deeper, and his eyes were full of joy and clarity. Before Guo Wencheng could speak, he said with a smile:
"Governor Yang puts the overall situation first. He not only sympathizes with the people in the northern border, but also takes care of General Guo. The friendship between the two of them is really touching. I really admire this general. If this is the case, I will immediately order that Governor Yang Lead [-] elite soldiers, go around to the enemy's rear, destroy the enemy's supplies, and wait for the reinforcements from Mingzheng and Poyan to arrive, and immediately go out to meet the enemy!"
The military order has been issued, and it is a foregone conclusion.
Bei Chenlong waved his hand to indicate that the generals could leave the camp, Yang Jin turned his head and left, and Guo Wencheng also walked away. When the generals retreated, they all turned their heads to look at the direction where Yang Jin and Guo Wencheng left, and then helplessly Shake your head and sigh.
Guo Wencheng and Yang Jin had a big fight, and the two almost broke up.
The garrisons of Poyan and Mingzheng did not make Bei Chenlong wait too long. At dusk the next day, a total of [-] reinforcements arrived at Xingbei Pass. Bei Chenlong secretly arranged for the reinforcements to rest for one night. Jin led five thousand soldiers and horses to sneak out of the city, circled a large circle outside the city, avoided the barbarian garrison, and sneaked to the rear.
Yang Jin led his troops to guard the rear of the barbarian soldiers, lying in ambush on both sides of the road with complex terrain. After waiting for half a day, he saw a group of about 5000 barbarian soldiers coming towards the barbarian garrison, pulling a carriage filled with beef and mutton.
When his men approached, Yang Jin immediately ordered to charge, broke into the enemy's ranks, and smashed the barbarians who were escorting the food into pieces.The barbarians quickly reorganized and fought against the army led by Yang Jin. At the same time, they released news that the barbarian garrison outside Xingbei Pass came to support them.
When the barbarians got the news, they immediately dispatched an army of 2 people to increase the number of troops. Inside the Xingbei Pass, Bei Chenlong kept an eye on the movement outside the pass, but when he saw a sudden commotion in the barbarian camp, he ordered the initiative to attack, with a total of 18 troops. All the troops came out, divided into three groups, and attacked the barbarian camp from three directions.
A few days ago, the barbarians had lost nearly 11 troops, and Yang Jin lured another [-] away. The remaining [-] people were guarding Xingbei Pass. They did not expect that the strength of Xingbei Pass had increased, and the Xingbei Pass army suddenly increased in strength Under the impact, they were quickly dispersed, and a large number of casualties began to occur. The Xingbeiguan garrison successfully bit back the barbarians, causing heavy losses to the barbarians.
This battle was still led by Bei Chenlong himself, and Lin Aoxue went out with the army and fought bravely with the team. Every time she made a move with the silver spear in her hand, it would take the lives of one or two barbarians, even the soldiers beside her. One after another fell to the ground and fell off their horses, Lin Aoxue was still walking smoothly among the rebellious army, extremely brave.
The barbarians can naturally see that Lin Aoxue's ability is far superior to others, so there are always no less than ten barbarians around Lin Aoxue. Lin Aoxue has not been absent from every battle in recent days. And secondly, the exhaustion of the mind made her combat ability decline compared to the beginning.
Under the joint attack of the barbarians, Lin Aoxue was accidentally slashed on the arm by the barbarians, and her arm trembled. Fortunately, she finally grasped the silver spear steadily, and did not let go of the weapon. The barbarian shot through.
Lin Aoxue's eyes were sharp, even though she was injured, she still had the momentum like a rainbow, and rushed into the enemy's ranks, ignoring the injury on her arm, and charged among the barbarians, but after a few moves, the barbarians beside her He fell to the ground. In Beichen Kingdom's army, there are few brave generals like Lin Aoxue.
This time, the counterattack battle gained the upper hand from the very beginning. The confidence of Xing Beiguan soldiers increased greatly, and their morale was great. Even the soldiers in the army became more and more brave in killing the enemy. Turned upside down.
The barbarians were defeated, and had no choice but to retreat another ten miles. As for the situation behind the barbarian camp, Lin Aoxue and others did not know.
Soon, the barbarians regained their momentum, supported those in the rear and would return to the battlefield. The accident was suppressed, and the whole army counterattacked, using the extremely crazy method of injuring one thousand enemies and self-inflicted eight hundred to destroy Beichen's army. They suppressed it again, but in this battle, the barbarians lost more than [-], and Bei Chenlong's army lost less than [-], which can be regarded as a complete victory.
The garrison retreated to Xingbei Pass, and none of the [-] soldiers led by Yang Jin returned, and all died in battle.
After Guo Wencheng returned to Guanzhong, he was devastated, and he no longer had the vigor and vigor of the past.The barbarians retreated, and the battle situation behind the enemy was clear.
Yang Jin died, and even the name tag was left on the battlefield, but could not be retrieved.
Guo Wencheng was so depressed that he knelt under the tower of Xingbeiguan, covered his face and wept bitterly, beat the ground like crazy, remorse and blamed himself, and hit the backs of his hands until they were bloody, but the pain in those hands was far less than the pain in his heart. suffering.
He hates, hates that Bei Chenlong is insidious, suspicious, and cunning like a fox, hates himself for being loyal, stupid, and unsophisticated, and also hates himself for being cowardly and incompetent, for not following his friend's advice to take a chance, and also hates why he had to fight with Yang Jin before he left the customs. An argument.
It was he who personally buried his best friend who had been with him for ten years.
"I'm confused, I'm confused!"
That day when Yang recently took him out of the ban, his words were still ringing in his ears, the reprimand hit his heart like a heavy hammer, tearing his chest cavity to bleed pus, it became a prophecy.
Guo Wencheng prostrated himself on the ground, tears streaming down his face. He was a majestic seven-foot man, and he didn't save a bit of face.
When Lin Aoxue saw Guo Wencheng again, she was in the military medical camp. She had just been stabbed in the arm by a barbarian on the battlefield, so she came to the military medical camp to find Yunyan to bandage and treat her.Although Yunyan is not a military doctor, the wounded soldiers in the battalion are recuperating in the military doctor's camp, so it is not surprising that Yunyan moved here temporarily.
Seeing Lin Aoxue coming, Yunyan put down the things she was busy with, and walked quickly to the door, her thoughts were delicate, almost the moment Lin Aoxue stepped into the door, her eyes were fixed on the knife wound on Lin Aoxue's arm, her eyebrows frowned. Wrinkled, said angrily:
"How did you get hurt?"
Lin Aoxue was not surprised, she waved her hand and said:
"Oh, swords have no eyes on the battlefield, such a cut is nothing, it doesn't matter."
Yun Yan couldn't see that Lin Aoxue was so inattentive to her body. Just as Lin Aoxue finished speaking, Yunyan slapped Lin Aoxue's forehead, stuffing all the latter's rambling words into her throat. gauze, eyes wide open, glaring at Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue belatedly realized that what she said just now offended Yun Yan, she immediately silenced her, with a bit of bewilderment on her face.
"Put your arms out."
Yunyan is fierce.
Lin Aoxue shrank her neck, not daring to disobey, and immediately handed over her injured arm.
Yun Yan couldn't help but cut Lin Aoxue's clothes twice, exposing the wound, Lin Aoxue's heart ached so badly, her eyes turned red, tears were about to fall, she said urgently:
"Ah! Yan'er! How did you cut the clothes! It's enough to mend the edge of the knife, but you can't wear it after cutting it!"
This is the clothes that Yunyan made for her.
Today's battle came suddenly, and the battle has been tense these days. Her military uniform is already tattered and she can't wear it anymore. The battalion's resources are tight, and no new uniforms have been distributed. Lin Aoxue put on the new clothes that Yunyan made for her. Before she was dressed warmly, she was forced to go to the battlefield, but she was accidentally stabbed, and she was already heartbroken, so it was a good thing, Yun Yan directly cut off her sleeves.
Upon hearing this, Yunyan raised her head and saw Lin Aoxue's heartbroken expression again, the little bit of resentment in her heart dissipated instantly, she glared at Lin Aoxue, and said with feigned anger:
"This is the clothes I made, why can't I cut them? You just wait for me, there is a new set in the closet over there, and I will change it later."
Lin Aoxue was sealed by a new set of clothes, she blinked her eyes, looked at her cuffs that had just been cut off, still feeling sorry, so she simply turned her head away and stopped looking.
Seeing her appearance like this, Yun Yan couldn't hold back her expression, the corners of her lips raised involuntarily, when this person didn't open her heart, she put on a stinky face that others owed her money, and she didn't pay for it. After trying my best, I can finally see some emotions that ordinary people have.
She likes such a change in Lin Aoxue, and only in this way can people truly realize that this person is alive in her life, gradually occupying every tiny and short moment in her life.
Even though there is still a long way to go between them, facing Lin Aoxue like this, she feels that everything is worth it.
"Okay, don't get wet on the wound."
Yunyan was very skillful in treating the wound, and in a short while, Lin Aoxue's wound was bandaged up.Lin Aoxue withdrew her hand, looked at her broken cuff, and tentatively asked Yun Yan with a distressed face:
"Yan'er, can you mend this dress?"
Hearing this, Yun Yan was angry and funny, she rolled Lin Aoxue's eyes, and answered her helplessly and dotingly:
"Okay! Make it up!"
It's not difficult to just change the sleeves, why didn't she realize that Lin Aoxue was so stingy before.Lin Aoxue was overjoyed when she got the answer she wanted, and happily changed into new clothes.
The war had just ended, and before Bei Chenlong had time to deal with Guo Wencheng further, Guo Wencheng came to the military medical camp when he was free, and happened to meet Lin Aoxue who had just come out of the military medical camp after bandaging his wounds.
Guo Wencheng stood still in front of her, and after a long silence, he said:
"Lieutenant Lin, Governor Yang is dead."
Lin Aoxue was taken aback for a moment, but didn't recover for a while.
A wry smile appeared on Guo Wencheng's face, then he shook his head and said nothing to Lin Aoxue, only said:
"I was sorry for you when I was in the capital."
The guilt and pain in his heart almost tortured him to the point of madness. His heart was like an ocean. He had always been loyal to Bei Chenlong, but he did not expect to end up like this. Even Yang Jin died. What else could Bei Chenlong not give up? What about?
The reason why he came to Lin Aoxue and apologized to her was because when they went to the capital together, he had gotten closer to the Zongqin Palace because of Lin Aoxue, fearing that she would be bewitched by the Zongqin and deviate from his own way, and would treat Beichenlong unfaithful.
Now that I think about it, Guo Wencheng just wants to laugh at himself, he is just stupid and loyal, not only dragging down Yang Jin, but also implicating Lin Aoxue, or, if Lin Aoxue had the opportunity to stay in the capital, he would not be so trapped in the quagmire Deep, until, can no longer withdraw.
After Guo Wencheng finished speaking, he turned and left under Lin Aoxue's inexplicable gaze.
Lin Aoxue went in without knowing it, and went back to her tent in a daze. Even the joy of seeing Yunyan just now faded away. She closed her eyes and thought about what Guo Wencheng said to her just now, and how the Xingbei Pass has become more and more serious recently. Weird situation.
She has only one county lieutenant, and she is not qualified to participate in important meetings in the army, so she has not received the notice of Yang Jin's secret exit. She thought that Yang Jin, Guo Wencheng and other generals would go out with the army and then withdraw together. It was obviously a good raid, why did they get the news that Yang Jin died in battle after returning?
But she had heard about the imperial decree some time ago, and now she connected all the news, and she also had some guesses in her heart.
Yang Jin was kind to her. When she first entered the barracks, it was mostly Yang Jin who took care of her and provided her with all kinds of help. She did not follow Yang Jin's team to fight once or twice. This person has a kind heart that cares about the country and the people. When the Yong'an incident happened, Yang Jin knelt down and cried bitterly when he saw the tragic situation in Yong'an. At that time, Lin Aoxue knew that Yang Jin was a good person.
He was very kind and kind, and because of this, sooner or later he would have a rift with Bei Chenlong and die at Bei Chenlong's hands.
Lin Aoxue had expected it, but she never expected that this day would come so early.
She let out a long sigh, but shook her head after all, feeling a surge of regret in her heart, but she couldn't do anything about it.
Yang Jin died, and Xing Beiguan lost another good general.
The author has something to say: I finished writing, barely an hour late, I tried my best, and finally I can go back to sleep with peace of mind
