The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 301 Goodbye is not the best

When the running female general and Geng Qing, who was being carried on his back, ran quickly across the blood-stained field, an army of 6 people from south to north was rushing in from the other direction, winding its way to Mozhou On the road to the west of the field, the banner of Liang character fluttered and fluttered in the wind, and the riders rushing around were passing information back and forth, and fell into the hands of Ge Congzhou, Zhang Quanyi, Li Si'an and others like snowflakes.

"The Khitan people went back and forth, asking Yang's envoy for a Khitan woman?"

"Regardless of whether it is a woman or not, last night's battle was missed, and today I happened to be together with Yang Recruiter to deal with Yelu Abaoji, and the humiliation of the previous three battles will be avenged."

The robust Li Si'an rode on horseback with a loud shout, and galloped to the front, ordering more than a thousand cavalry to go ahead and rush to the right flank of the large army. Under Ge Congzhou's nodding instruction, Pang Shigu ordered another The soldiers and horses go to the left flank. If the battle ahead has started, the two cavalry can enter the battlefield to support the friendly army.

The wind blows to the field, sixty miles away from the reinforcements, the Khitan and Liang armies are facing each other, and the 8 people on both sides faintly begin to mobilize. Will be timid, narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to call for Lingqi, and gave the order to prepare for the battle.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The sound of war drums was sounded by the soldiers on the drum carts at the rear. Under the rhythmic beat of the drums, groups of soldiers formed formations under the command of their own generals, and shields stood on the ground to form a shield wall, reflecting the morning sun. Stretch out.

"Really want to fight?" Liu Po ​​heard the sound of the drum and rode over from the rear. When he saw the Khitan's movement, he stopped asking, but turned around and went back to let the archers penetrate the spear formation.

"I don't believe in the Khitan people. Their bodies are still made of iron. We are tired, and they are also weak. I really want to fight. If I don't want this life, I will rush over and pull Yelu Abaoji off the horse—"

It was Wang Yanzhang who spoke. He was wearing only half of his armor, and his exposed left arm was bandaged. He was shot by the arrow in the scuffle last night.

When the array was interspersed and assembled, the Dragon Army was deployed as cavalry on the right flank. The 1000 cavalry suffered more than 5000 casualties last night.

Inside, there were more than a hundred guards from the green forest, who straddled behind the cavalry and rode together. Among them, Jiuyu, who rode alone on a horse, stood next to Yang Huaixiong, with a gloomy and terrifying face, staring at the opposite Khitan formation. The former Khitan leader named Yelu Abaoji.

"When the fight starts later, you just lead your troops to charge there, and our family will take this opportunity to capture this person alive."

Yang Huaixiong turned his head to look at him: "Are you sure?"

Qingcong was on the horse, but Jiuyu didn't speak. In the army formation, if he wanted to capture the opponent's general alive, the risk was extremely high. Even he couldn't guarantee it. After all, there were too many people. Killed.

"get ready!"

Yang Huaixiong on the side said softly, the Yanyue he was carrying was slowly deflected, the blade hit the ground heavily, and the sound of the war drums in the distance had begun to change its rhythm and become hasty, which was a signal that the battle was about to start.

When Liang Jun's array began to move forward slowly, there was a sudden loud noise, which exploded from behind, suppressing the sound of war drums and Khitan's horns on the opposite side.

The sound of drums and horns stopped abruptly, and Yelu Abaoji raised his eyes to look in front of Liang Jun's formation, wondering what was going on with the loud noise.The soldiers and generals in Liang's army were also taken aback, Yang Shihou hurriedly sent his cavalry to take a look behind, and after a while, Kuaima came back with excitement on his face.

"The recruiter is the supervisor! The supervisor is back, and there is a Khitan woman beside him."

As the sound spread, the soldiers of the Chinese Army's large formation suddenly cheered, not because Geng Qing was so happy to be back, but because he didn't have to fight this battle.

As the news spread, the Longxiang Army on the right flank was also very happy when they heard the news. While Jiuyu was excitedly galloping his horse towards the center formation, several figures were hurrying through the rows of square formations. Come to the front.

"Recruit envoy!"

Geng Qing looked exhausted, endured the pain in his back and asked the soldiers to put him on the ground. At the same time, the Khitan woman who came with him ran to the opposite side. Wang Yanzhang raised his gun to stop him, but was interrupted by Geng Qing : "Let her go."

"Supervisor, what does this mean?"

"She should be Yelu Abaoji's woman. If I don't return it to him, I'm afraid this battle will not be spared." On the way, Geng Qing had already made up his mind. Seeing the anxious expression of the woman, he probably already understood the identity of the other party. This battle is inevitable. After all, the hatred for taking a wife is very great. The opponent will not give up just because of fatigue. Once the battle starts, the outcome is unpredictable. It is not worth the loss to gain a soldier's life for a woman.

"Let's stop this battle first, let the soldiers have a good rest, even if Yelu Abaoji is repelled, we will hardly get any real benefits, we must not cross Youzhou to occupy the territory of the Khitan people, why not take this opportunity to fight for the enemy Do something later."

"Follower?" Yang Shihou knew the ability of this supervisor, so he must have a plan in mind, so he didn't say any more, "If the supervisor said so, then Yang will let it go."

"Thank you!"

Geng Qing arched his hands at him, looked across to see the Khitan woman who had already run to the middle of the Liang army, was grabbed by Yelu Abaoji who came on horseback, lifted her onto the horse's back, and sat in his arms, happily hugging the woman Rubbing his face, as if the woman had said something, he looked towards Liang Jun and put the scimitar back into its sheath.

"Han man, Abaoji, thank you for your kindness!" The Khitan chief raised his fist and pressed it to his chest, showing Geng Qing his respect.

Afterwards, he laughed heartily, galloped back to the formation, and shouted: "Khitan warriors, Abaoji has found his Yue Liduo, there is no need to fight anymore, let's go home—"

Under the countless vigilant eyes of Liang Jun, the mighty cavalry stripped from the formation one by one, and galloped towards the north in an orderly manner like a torrent.

"Han official, Yue Liduo remembers your kindness, if you are dissatisfied with your court, you can come to Khitan!"

The retreating torrent is going away, Yue Liduo is riding a war horse with a crisp voice, laughing boldly a few times, and yelling: "Drive!" With a shake of the rein, she followed her husband with the horse's belly and gradually disappeared into the dense team Among the cavalry of the team.

Do you want to make a difference after leaving?
Geng Qing smiled and shook his head, while a figure approached, "That Khitan woman chased you? It seems that you have a good relationship."

It was Jiuyu who came over, and when he found this way, his face had returned to its previous cold look.Geng Qing looked away, smiled and said:
"I still can't convince her with my three-inch tongue?" He paused, looked at Jiuyu's face, and Chen Hu, Zhao Long and Li Biao who came running behind, "I'm worrying you, Let's go, there is one more business to do."

Apart from rescuing Hebei, he came to the north to ask Xie Tong face to face. Geng Qing almost lost a brother because of his estrangement.

As for the ending of the battle here at this time, I will leave it to Yang Shihou and Ge Congzhou who rushed over. The latter just arrived two hours later. Hearing that the Khitan has withdrawn and returned to the north, he sighed regretfully , but he avoided a fight, he didn't say anything, but he heard that the Khitan woman was Yelu Abaoji's wife, so it was a pity to let her go like this.

Of course, it's not good for him to say that in front of Geng Qing. The two of them would be a little awkward after all when they met each other.

"Yang recruits envoys, I will trouble you with this matter, Qing wants to go to the rear to meet the inspector's right servant."

Back at the barracks, in the tent, Geng Qing truthfully proposed to Yang Shihou his thoughts about going later, and said with a smile: "It's not much use for me to stay here, it's better to meet friends."

Geng Qing and Xie Tong were friends in Chang'an in the early years, most of the people knew it well, and they would not stop them.On the contrary, Zhang Quanyi got up and chased out of the big tent, and said in a low voice: "Supervisor, Mr. Xie has been in poor health for a long time. He looks very bad when he is in a lowly position in the army. Go over and persuade him, and ask Liang Wang to general Mr. Xie." Transfer back to Bianzhou to recuperate."

Geng Qing frowned, but still nodded, "Do you know what's wrong with him?"

"Typhoid fever. It lasted for a long time. Once I saw him coughing up blood."

Hearing this, Geng Qing frowned even more, and after expressing that he knew what was in his mind, he took Jiuyu and others, gathered more than a hundred guards, and left the barracks, heading south all the way to another barracks in the south of Mozhou.

Arrived there in the afternoon, but was in vain. He didn't see Xie Tong, but heard from the general Wang Jingren who stayed here that Xie Tong fainted and fell to the ground after hearing the Khitan's withdrawal, and was sent to Mozhou to recuperate. .

"This is Ming"

Geng Qing sighed, and soon after, he went back on the road, turned the direction he came from, and rushed to Mozhou, which is Liu Rengong's territory. At this time, the two sides are still friendly troops. As long as they don't bring soldiers and horses, the other party will not be too difficult. When we arrived and entered the city, it was already dark.

After inquiring about the location of the post house, he hurried over there. Geng Qing saw the long street in the dark night, and a white lantern was hung on the gate of the post house, with a big word "Dian" written on it, and his heart skipped a beat. His body trembled slightly, he got off his horse in a panic, and Jiuyu and the others quickly followed.

"Brother Ziming"

Geng Qing rushed into the gate of the posthouse, and at the same time called out in a low voice, he grabbed the posthouse clerk who was coming towards him, "The inspector's right servant has shot."

The clerk shook his head with difficulty, feeling depressed, and pointed to the courtyard in front of him.

"Not yet. However, the right servant shoots, first let the humble staff and others get things ready"

Before he finished speaking, Geng Qing pushed him away, quickly walked around the Fengshui wall, rushed straight to the building in front, and pushed the door open with a 'bang'.

The room is deserted and clear, the altar has been placed in the middle, the altar table is covered with a black cloth, and the empty brazier is also prepared in front of the futon. On the right side of the room, on the wooden bed with white curtains, a lone figure is faintly seen lying in it, as if listening to Hearing the sound of pushing the door, he moved with difficulty.

"Cough, don't come in."

His bloodless face turned slightly, his eyes looked out of the tent with dull and cloudy eyes, a vague figure was slowly approaching, and a familiar voice sounded softly outside the tent.

"Ziming. It's me, Ji Chang."

Cough!

Xie Tong on the bed coughed twice excitedly, looked at the curtain that was slowly opened, but subconsciously turned over, and went into the bed, not looking at Geng Qing who walked to the window.

Not seeing him for many years, he didn't want his friends to see him like this.
