Chapter 124 Soldiers Return to Southern Border
Mentioning the leader of the army, Ying Keqing couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and began to think.

Those who lead troops back to the southern border for rescue must have a certain status, because not all the garrisons left in each city are troops from one tribe, and troops from different tribes are stationed separately.

If the number of people sent to recruit troops is not enough, there may be a possibility that they will not obey each other. Sitting in front of him, naturally he can't act rashly. Mo Luotang is undoubtedly his most capable military adviser and assistant, so he can't be transferred easily. Besides, the plan to deal with Ye Junyan was planned and arranged by Mo Luotang, and even I don't know what Mo Luotang's plan looks like, and this plan is obviously only Mo Luotang can execute and complete smoothly, It can even be said that Mo Luotang can almost affect the outcome of this battle in the mind of winning the battle.

In this way, neither he nor Mo Luotang could go, and the only people left who could do so were the patriarchs of the other three major tribes.

"It would be great if the high priest is there again." Ying Keqing suddenly thought of the high priest in his heart, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

Mo Luotang heard Ying Keqing's murmur, and said, "But the high priest is now in command in southern Xinjiang, otherwise, the high priest is indeed the best candidate."

The high priest is a sacred existence in southern Xinjiang. His status is second only to the big leader, one person, but although his status is lower than the big leader, his influence and reputation are far beyond the big leader.

It can be said that in southern Xinjiang, the chief is the centralizer of the power center, while the high priest is the common spiritual leader of all subjects, soldiers, tribes, etc. in the country.

Sometimes the high priest's spiritual will or views on things can even influence the direction of the chief's behavior, and judge the chief's actions and behaviors.Therefore, the high priest has been the most respected and respected person in the entire southern border throughout the ages, not one of them.

Ying Keqing listened to Mo Luotang's words, nodded and said, "Well, it seems that only one of the tribal leaders can be selected to take on this task."

Mo Luotang lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "I thought of someone."

Ying Keqing looked at Mo Luotang and said, "I thought about it too, but I don't know if we're thinking about the same person."

Mo Luotang said with great interest: "I don't want you, I will write this person's last name on the palm of my hand to see if it is the same person."

Ying Keqing smiled and nodded, then took the pen from the table, dipped it in ink, and wrote a word on the palm of his hand, then dried the ink, grabbed the palm of his hand, and handed the pen to Mo Luotang, Mo Xiaotang finished writing in the palm of his hand with a brush, and looked at Ying Keqing with a smile.

Ying Keqing also looked at Mo Luotang with a smile, and after the two looked at each other in a tacit understanding, they spread out their palms at the same time, facing each other, and the two looked at the words in each other's palms, and couldn't help laughing loudly , it is obvious that the words in the hands of the two must be the same word.

Not long after, several patriarchs arrived one after another, and to welcome the guests, they told the leaders what happened in southern Xinjiang. After hearing the words, everyone discussed for a while, and was interrupted by Ying Keqing, who said to everyone: "This place The 60 troops need to deal with Zhaoxuan's army and cannot move for the time being, but the southern border must be rescued, so I am going to send a highly respected person to lead our army order and lead the troops back to defend the southern border."

Tuobatu clasped his fists and asked Ying Keqing: "Didn't the chief just say that the 60 troops here cannot be moved? How can we mobilize the troops to return to southern Xinjiang?"

Ying Keqing replied: "I'm going to draw part of the troops from the pools of generals stationed along the way to form an army and transfer them to the southern front. I roughly calculated that there are 23 or more guards in cities. , draw [-] soldiers and horses, and if the number is less than [-], [-] soldiers and horses will be drawn, and those who are less than [-] will not be drawn for the time being. In this way, at least [-] to [-] soldiers and horses can be drawn. The soldiers of Donghai and Xijun are not good. Fighting on the plains, these soldiers and horses should be enough to deal with the attacks from the east and west."

After everyone heard the words, there was another discussion, and Tuobatu continued to ask: "But the troops stationed in various places come from different tribes, so it may be difficult to coordinate them uniformly."

Ying Keqing smiled and said: "That's why I said that you must be a highly respected person to be competent. The high priest is not in the barracks, and there are only a few people who are qualified for this position."

At this time, Tuobatu finally understood what Ying Keqing meant. Ying Keqing wanted to select one of the chiefs of several tribes to take charge of this matter, so he said again: "Then the chieftain must have someone in mind?"

Ying Keqing nodded and said: "Well, Xiaotang is making arrangements to deal with the arrival of Ye Junyan and cannot leave for the time being. Patriarch Tuoba is now the commander-in-chief of the frontline operations, so naturally he can't get away. Patriarch Xiao has been dispatching supplies from the rear, and he can't get away." Get out."

Ying Keqing said, looked at no one, and finally fixed Mu Guang on Ha Bishan, looked at Ha Bishan and said: "As for the patriarch Ha, he is mainly responsible for the investigation. I think The investigation can be handed over to Xiaotang for the time being, I wonder if Patriarch Ha is willing to work hard?"

Ha Bishan looked at Ying Keqing, then at Mo Luotang, and he understood in his heart that Ying Keqing was an eyesore to him, and he didn't want to stay in the army for a long time, but there was no good reason, and he had something in his heart. With the matter of Donghai and Xijun, can Ying Keqing seize this opportunity and make good use of it for a while?

What's more, Mo Luotang will be in the army again in his heart. If Ha Bishan stays, he will inevitably be at odds with him everywhere, making it more difficult for the army to unite as one, so taking the opportunity to transfer Ha Bishan away can be said to be a disservice to Mo Luotang According to Tang and Ying Keqing, it is the most beneficial way.

Well, although I knew in my heart that Ying Keqing was trying to remove Mo Luotang's obstacle, I found an excuse to transfer myself back to defend the southern border. Although I knew it, I couldn't find a reason to refuse. There is no flaw to follow.If you refuse, it is out of character and you will be criticized by other patriarchs.

In desperation, Ha Bishan had no choice but to answer with his fists clasped: "Everyone in southern Xinjiang is responsible for guarding the frontier and securing the land. Ha Bishan was wrongly loved by the chief and entrusted with a heavy responsibility. There is no reason not to."

Hearing this, Ying Keqing exchanged glances with Mo Luotang, then nodded with satisfaction at Ha Bishan, and said, "Well, it is a blessing for the patriarch Kazakhstan to think so, and it is also a blessing for me. I will hand over the handbook to Patriarch Ha, and hope that Patriarch Ha will make good use of it so as to live up to the expectations of his subjects and my expectations." Ying Keqing said, and took a handwritten letter from the table beside him, and handed it to Ha Must be good.

Ha Bishan stepped forward, took the letter, bowed respectfully to Ying Keqing and said, "Ha Bishan is willing to shed his blood for the southern Xinjiang, and he will never fail the trust of the people and the great leader."

After Ying Keqing nodded in satisfaction, he dismissed the crowd and ordered Ha Bishan to go back and make preparations before leaving as soon as possible so as not to delay the battle.

And after the meeting ended, after Mo Luotang returned to his tent, he never left the tent again, and he would not let others in. I don't know what Mo Luotang was doing inside, and only after it was dark did Mo Luotang quietly walk out of the tent. , avoiding everyone's sight, left the barracks, and sneaked towards Zhaoxuan's army.Until the early morning of the second day, Mo Luotang was still not seen returning to the camp.

On the second day, at noon, Ha Bishan prepared everything, took a team of followers, and started galloping towards the southern border.

Along the way, every time they passed a city, they would enter the city according to Ying Keqing's handbook, draw part of the army, and follow him all the way back to the southern border.

At the beginning, when there were only 2 or [-] people, because they were drawn from one or two cities, there was relatively little friction with each other, and there were no conflicts. The integration of soldiers and horses of multiple tribes, coupled with the fact that they have guarded different cities for many days, and under the control of different commanders, their behaviors and habits are somewhat different, soon Lu Xun began to have disagreements internally. Good at restraining everyone, presumably everyone has already started fighting among themselves halfway.

Although Ha Bishan has enough prestige and authority to convince everyone, but even so, the speed of the march is still greatly reduced. The original plan was to arrive in southern Xinjiang in about five days, but now it seems that it will take more than seven days at the earliest Yes, this made Ha Bishan feel faintly worried about this.

On the same day, Ye Junyan and his party were mighty, and they had already covered a lot of distance. In about two days, they would reach the front line and join the army, and they would travel until evening.When the army came to a mountain depression, Ye Junyan saw that the sky was going to be dark, so he decided to camp again to rest, and then set off on the road tomorrow morning.

So the army began to camp on the spot, collecting materials, lighting fires, carrying water, and cooking.Looking at the busy soldiers, Ye Junyan couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief. He walked alone to a river not far from the camp, looked down at the reflection in the water, and began to meditate.

Gu Xin saw Ye Junyan standing here alone from a distance, and knew that the heavy state affairs had weighed on Ye Junyan's heart for a long time, but as a leader, even if he was worried and worried, Ye Junyan didn't dare to show it too much , if the king of a country, as the spiritual leader, is worried about the worries shown, then he will believe in other people, and he will have no hope for the country, so everyone can be confused, but Duduye must not be confused Yes, even if you are confused, you have to pretend to be strong and fearless. This is the tragedy and responsibility of the leader.

Gu Xinning gently walked not far behind Ye Junyan, and stood quietly behind Ye Junyan, not saying a word, not making a sound, just standing silently, accompanying, watching, Gu Xinning knew Ye Junyan Junyan already felt his own existence, but Ye Junyan also didn't speak, didn't make a sound, didn't turn around, as if he was the only one left in the world, standing there lonely and desolate.

Gu Xinning has already stood quietly behind Ye Junyan, she knows that whatever she says in her heart will not help Ye Junyan, Ye Junyan needs neither encouragement nor comfort, any encouragement or comfort At this moment, it seems like a blow and ridicule to Ye Junyan's self-confidence and dignity.

So the only thing Ye Junyan needs now is someone to support and accompany silently by his side, and this is precisely the only thing Gu Xinning can do for Ye Junyan at present.
