Horse on the World

Chapter 224 Completely Opposite Mood

The big tent of the wolf running army was deadly silent, and all the generals stood with their heads bowed, all of them looked sad. The news that they had sneaked into Fuyuan and failed to attack, there were rows of soldiers hanging on the main city of Shanglin The first level made all the generals burn with anger, and the eldest prince is definitely in danger.No one knew about this failure, so it is obvious that Lu Dalin, the guard of Dingzhou in Shanglin, was completely confused, and the spies did not find any signs of sending troops from Fuyuan. Where did Ji Sanqian cavalry's troops come from?That's the elite of the wolf running army?How could it be possible that the entire army was wiped out and none of them escaped back?
Hu He leaned on the tiger-skin chair, closed his eyes and said nothing, ever since the heads were hanging in the upper forest, Hu He had been leaning there like this, his spirit seemed to have collapsed all of a sudden, and his whole body seemed to be It seems to be several years old, and the originally inconspicuous wrinkles look particularly eye-catching at this time.

"Commander Tiger, mobilize the army, storm the forest, and avenge the prince!" Hauge stepped forward, knelt down in the middle of the big tent with a puff, and burst into tears.

"Commander Tiger, send out troops, send out troops, pay with blood, break through Shanglin, and leave no dogs behind!" Many generals knelt down in front of Hu He.

Hu He slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the general who was kneeling under the tent, the muscles on his face twitched, very lightly, and seemed to be talking to himself: "The general will not raise troops because of anger. In the first battle, I was defeated, and I lost nothing to say. Nuoqia, have you sent the letter to His Majesty?"

Nuoqia took a knee step forward, raised his head and said, "Hushuai, I sent it out early in the morning. I expect to get a reply by tonight at the earliest, and tomorrow at the latest."

Hu He nodded, "I have apologized to His Majesty, you all go down first, I want to be quiet, quiet!"

The generals stood up unwillingly, everyone knew Hu Hyuk's character, once a decision was made, he would not change it at all.

Just when the generals were about to leave their tents, a low-ranking officer of the Wolf Running Army rushed over, saluted Hu He, who was at the top, and said, "Commander Hu, there are people coming from the upper forest, here they are, here they are A coffin came and said, it belonged to the eldest prince."

Hurriedly stood up, and the generals in the tent shouted loudly. If we said that everyone still had a little fantasy in their hearts before, all their ideas have been shattered now, and Dingzhou can make such a big fanfare. Besides the eldest prince, who else could return the corpse?All eyes turned to Hu Hyuk.

Hu He's body swayed, almost fell down, his face became pale, and he held the tiger case with both hands, unwilling to make a sound for a long time.

"Hushuai, Dingzhou killed people and sent back their bodies for demonstration. All future Dingzhou people will be killed and buried with the prince!" Hauge said viciously with fierce eyes.For a while, all the generals in the account agreed.

Nuo Qia opened his mouth, seeing the excitement in the tent, he had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips.

"Shut up!" Hu He beat the big case vigorously, and with a bang, all the generals in the tent were startled, never saw Hu He lose such a big temper. "What do you want to do? The people of Dingzhou sent back the body of the eldest prince. No matter what the intention is, we must accept it. Najib died in battle with honor. The other party returned his body, which shows that he still respects him very much." , do you think that Najib’s head is also hanging high on the top of Shanglinli City? We have indeed lost this battle, and we have nothing to say about the loss. Do you want to export your face too?”

After Hu He yelled and cursed, he flicked his sleeves and strode out of the tent. All the generals looked at each other for a moment, and followed them one by one.

Outside the camp of the Wolf Running Army, a group of more than ten people were riding on horseback, accompanied by a horse-drawn cart, dragging a coffin, and the leader with long sleeves was Ji Sichen, director of the Planning and Analysis Department of the Statistics and Investigation Department. .

Seeing Hu He coming out to greet him in person, Ji Sichen was slightly moved, got on his horse, took a few steps forward, and saluted Hu He, "Ji Sichen of Dingzhou, I have met Lord Hu Shuai!"

"Do you recognize me?" Hu He looked at this helpless scholar, who still had a calm demeanor in front of thousands of troops, and couldn't help sighing secretly that Da Chuguo really has talents, and it's just such a famous man A person who is not humble in front of him is also an expression of neither humble nor overbearing. "You are very courageous, aren't you afraid that I will kill you with a knife in my anger?"

Ji Sichen smiled, and said: "The two armies are fighting, and life and death are the fate of each other. We should send Prince Najib's body to show respect to Commander Hu, and express admiration for Prince Najib's generosity to die. You know, he could have Surrender in order to survive, if Hu Shuai wants to kill me, then you are not worthy of being the famous Hu Shuai."

Hu Hyuk sneered, "Do you think highly of me?"

Ji Sichen said with a smile: "Hu Shuai's reputation is well known to everyone in Dingzhou. Marshal Li also said that Hu Shuai is our number one enemy in Dingzhou's pacification of the grasslands, ranking above Bayar Khan."

Hu He chuckled, noncommittal, the provocative meaning in Ji Sichen's words was too obvious, he didn't even bother to respond.

"Prince Najib's body has been returned, and Ji will leave now!" Ji Sichen clasped his fists, and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute, I have something to ask!" Hu He suddenly said.

Ji Sichen was slightly surprised, "Shu Shuai, please tell me!"

"I have sneaked into the craftsman's camp, and I have already deceived Lu Dalin and Fuyuan Yang Yidao. Neither of these two places sent troops. The soldiers from Dingzhou set up an ambush in the craftsman's camp? How did you see through my strategy?"

Ji Sichen laughed, "Hu Shuai underestimated our Dingzhou too much. To tell you the truth, Hu Shuai said that in the battle to annihilate Prince Najib, the Dingzhou regular army did not dispatch a single soldier. It was only me, Director Qingfeng of the Statistics and Investigation Department of Dingzhou, who was in charge." Commander, the department under his jurisdiction is no more than five hundred guards plus craftsmen battalion craftsmen."

Hu Hyuk narrowed his eyes, "That's it? Can you tell me more about the situation at that time?"

Ji Sichen nodded: "That's right. When I came here, the director told me that if Commander Hu asks you, you can tell me directly! I never thought that Commander Hu would ask such a question." Now, the details of the battle in the craftsman's battalion are detailed, one by one. Talk to Hu He.

After listening to the situation of the battle, Hu He stayed motionless for a while, Fang nodded and said: "Director Qingfeng, a weak woman, is really a good way, okay, I will remember her!"

Ji Sichen said with a smile: "Director Qingfeng said that if Hu Shuai asks about the details of this battle, you can tell him. At the same time, there is a sentence that I will give Hu Shuai a gift."

"What?"

"A mere prairie barbarian dares to play tricks with me, Huanghuang Dachu, so don't play tricks. You should fight with my son from Dingzhou with open swords and guns! If you give such a big gift, Qingfeng will do his part and will surely win the battle!" Smile and accept!" Even though he was repeating Qingfeng's words, the disdain on Ji Sichen's face was still evident.

There was a sound of drawing out their knives, and all the generals were furious, they pulled out their sheaths one after another, and waited for Hu He's order to chop this brazen envoy of Dingzhou into meat paste.

Hu He's face was uncertain, he looked at Ji Sichen, waved his hands with a sneer and said, "Let's go, tell Director Qingfeng that the game is still open, although Hu has a small setback, but it doesn't affect the overall situation, it has to come to the end of the game. Only then can we know who will win and who will lose, so it’s too early to be complacent at this moment!"

Seeing Ji Sichen and his group disappear from sight, Huhe Gujing Bubo's face finally revealed a look of sadness. He walked to the carriage with difficulty and waved: "Open the coffin!"

The coffin lid was slowly removed, and Najib's dead body appeared in front of Hu He. The wounds on his body were shocking, and the blood had already drained. Looking at those staring eyes, Hu He's eyes finally fell. Tears came, he stretched out his hand, closed his eyes for Najib, and said: "Send the prince back to the camp, the whole army mourns!"

All the flags of the Wolf Running Army and the helmets of the soldiers were wrapped in white cloth. The three armies mourned and held a funeral for Najib. Lu Dalin peeped in the forest again and again. .

Unlike the mourning of the three armies in the Wolf Running Army camp, the upper forest was full of joy. The great victory had not yet begun, how could it not be inspiring, this time the killing was not at the level of Wanyan Bulu Even Han Ningshou, a nobleman from Qingbu, can't compare with him. He is the eldest son of the newly established Emperor Yuanwu Empire. If he is placed in Dachu, he will be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Lu Dalin held a banquet in Shanglin, and invited Shang Haibo and Qingfeng, who had specially rushed to Shanglin, to join the army, and Li Qing also sent a personal guard Tang Hu from Shahe Town to celebrate.

Lu Dalin was beaming with joy. As a landlord, he stood up with a glass of wine and said loudly: "Everyone, we want to congratulate Li Shuai on the first glass of wine. May we, under Li Shuai's leadership, calm down the barbarians and make an indelible contribution!" All the generals stood up abruptly and echoed in unison: "Congratulations to Shuai Li!"

Lu Dalin smiled and said to Tang Hu: "General Tang, Li Shuai is not here, you are Li Shuai's personal bodyguard, this glass of wine, please drink it for me!"

Tang Hu waved his hands again and again, "General Lu, I'm just a bodyguard, this wine is irreplaceable." While speaking, his eyes were on Qingfeng.Qingfeng lowered his brows and pretended not to see him, but Shang Haibo's heart sank. Tang Hu didn't know the key to this, but his action couldn't be hidden from the caring people in the hall. Isn't the handsome bodyguard telling the people in the hall that Qingfeng is the most representative of the handsome here?

Immediately said: "Huzi, you are here on behalf of the commander-in-chief today, so of course you can be regarded as the commander-in-chief's substitute, why can't you drink it? Drink!"

Tang Hu was in awe of Shang Haibo, and immediately said: "Since he joined the army and said he can drink it, then the tiger will drink it!" He raised his head and poured a large glass of wine into his mouth, but didn't spill a drop. There was a burst of applause in the hall.

"For the second glass of wine, I want to respect Director Qingfeng!" Lu Dalin looked around and said.He raised his wine glass to the breeze.
