Hello Chang’an

Following this voice, a tall figure rushed towards Cui Jing, hugged Cui Jing tightly, and patted Cui Jing's back heavily with his thick palm.

Hu Cishi and others looked at it with fear. If it were replaced by a thinner one, it would probably cost two ounces of blood.

A Dian quickly let go of Cui Jing and asked excitedly: "Xiao Jing, why are you here! Are you here to see me and Xiao A Li?"

Cui Jing glanced in Chang Suining's direction, nodded, and said in a gentle voice, "Yes."

"Then you're late. Little Ah Li just led us to a huge victory!" A Dian said with bright eyes, showing off.

"Well, I heard about it." Cui Jing praised him seriously: "Senior is very powerful."

A Dian couldn't help but look even more proud, but he was also very polite and took care of others' moods: "Xiao Jing, you are also very powerful!"

He said to Cui Jing with a "you don't have to be disappointed" look: "If there is a next time, we will bring you with us!"

He has a considerate attitude of "If there is another opportunity to be great, let's all be great together."

Cui Jing showed a smile: "Okay, thank you, senior."

Xiao Min and others couldn't help laughing.

Chang Sui Ning asked: "How is Deputy General Jin doing now?"

"Vice Admiral Jin is no longer bleeding!" A Dian said seriously: "The military doctor said that the knife almost hit his heart. Fortunately, the boat was rocking at the time and was not stable, so the stab was a little off!"

Thinking of the traitor, he clenched his fists and said angrily: "It's the boat that helps. If the people are bad, the boat is good!"

His words were not clear enough, so Governor Hu added: "General Ning Yuan, don't worry, Vice General Jin's life is not in danger for the time being."

After finishing speaking, Hu Min suggested that after Vice General Jin regained consciousness, he could be sent to the governor's office in Bianzhou City for treatment, so that he could ask a skilled doctor to use the most suitable medicinal materials.

Of course, this was not just a privilege given to Vice Admiral Jin alone. Hu Min's words meant that all injured soldiers should go to Bianzhou for medical treatment and recuperation.

Governor Hu humbly said that they had nothing else but some money in Bianzhou City.

After all, Bianzhou is also considered a big food producer, so there is no shortage of money and food.

Thinking that the military pay, money and food allocated by the imperial court had always been tight, and every time he pressed for it, Xiao Min was always coldly criticized and questioned by the officials from the capital. When he heard this, tears of envy almost fell from the corner of his mouth.

Despite his heartbeat, Coach Xiao subconsciously looked at Chang Suining, waiting for her to make up her mind.

Chang Suining implicitly asked "Whether it will be too much trouble for Bianzhou". After Hu Lin waved her hands repeatedly, she nodded happily and thanked her repeatedly.

It is certainly something to be happy about when someone takes care of medicine and food.

Xiao Min also thanked her.

Hu Lin sighed and said: "Hu should thank the two generals and all the soldiers on behalf of the people of Bianzhou. It is because of your presence that Bianzhou was saved from this difficulty."

Before he left the city, he told his remaining subordinates to defend Bianzhou City, and at the same time, he also made the people prepare to escape from the city through the rear gate.

Xu's army had no military discipline at all. They would burn, kill, and loot when they entered the city. The soldiers had the duty to live and die with Bianzhou, but the people were innocent.

Now, the people of Bianzhou City no longer have to be forced to leave their homes and become homeless. He can also be lucky enough to return home again and hold his lovely little daughter in his arms.

He is lucky.

But those unfortunate soldiers were destined to never return home. Their heroic souls can only remain on this Bian River forever.

The corpses were fished out, carried up, and placed on the river bank. At a glance, they were particularly shocking.

The weather is getting warmer, so many corpses have no choice but to be buried nearby.

Cui Jing asked his subordinates to help dig the soil together, and He Wuhu and others also took the initiative to help, allowing the exhausted soldiers to rest.

When He Wuhu was waving a shovel and sweating profusely, shepherd's purse came over and asked him politely: "Our general asked me to ask, do you have any wine on you? Can you lend some to our general?"

Drinking was not allowed during the march, and no drinks were prepared in the army.

"Yes!" He Wuhu immediately ordered his brothers to take over the wine bottles he had brought, and gave a flattering but sincere smile to Shepherd's Purse: "The wines brothers brought are all here. Pay tribute to General Ningyuan!"

Hearing the slightly more purposeful word "filial piety" and the voice "We are General Ningyuan", shepherd's purse looked him up and down before picking up two wine bottles: "This is enough, the rest of you guys" Put it away!"

Shepherd's purse ran to the river carrying the wine bottle.

Chang Suining unscrewed the wine bottle and slowly poured the wine on the bank of Bianshui River.

She looked at the river hidden in the night, listened to the sound of the river flowing slowly, felt the night wind blowing on her face, and stood there quietly for a long time while holding the empty wine bottle.

Cui Jing stood not far away, quietly looking at the vast Bianshui River with her, with a deep and peaceful awe in his eyes.

Fighting during war is the most brutal, but the big hand that really pushes people into the abyss of sorrow often appears after the war is completely over.

Especially as a general, he not only carries sorrow, but also the guilt of being unable to reconcile with himself.

For a long time, Chang Sui Ning didn't say much.

Cui Jing, Xiao Min, Hu Min and others worked together to handle the next affairs, from the placement of wounded soldiers, to the inventory of seized weapons, money and food, to the follow-up repairs of damaged warships, everything was down to detail.

Knowing that he was rich in experience and his ability to handle these post-war matters was no worse than his own, and that it would not be in vain, the tired Chang Suining allowed himself to sit in front of the fire and stay idle for a while.

The night is dark and the stars and moon are high in the sky.

The soldiers were very tired and gathered around to rest in twos and threes.

A Dian sat next to Chang Suining, stirring the fire for her, talking about this and that. Chang Suining bent his legs, folded his hands on his knees, rested his chin on the back of his hands, and looked at the fire. , listened quietly.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a ray of music came to her ears.

Chang Sui Ning turned his head slightly and followed the sound, only to see Cui Jing sitting on the ground not far away, holding a green leaf between her slender fingers and placing it horizontally against her lips.

The young man sat quietly and blew leaves. The sound was clear and distant, swaying in the night wind.

This music is like the sound from outside the sky, seems to be taken from the lake, sea and snow-capped mountains. It is vast and clean. It floats in the air, and together with the moonlight, it cleanses away the remaining **** air in this world, soothes the tired and painful living people, and also provides relief for those who have died. The heroic souls and undead who no longer have to distinguish between enemy and friend find a way home.

The soldiers around listened quietly. Some looked in the direction of their hometown, while others looked at the place where their comrades were buried. They raised their hands to wipe away tears on their scarred faces.

Chang Sui listened quietly and looked at Cui Jing sitting there.

The young man's always cold brows and eyes were particularly calm under the moonlight at this moment. In this calmness, there was the compassion that a military commander never expressed, and there was also the stubborn pursuit of the sign of peace.

A Dian also shed two strings of tears. He didn't understand the quality of the music. He didn't know that the Cui family of Qinghe had been proficient in music theory since childhood and the music was of the highest quality. But he could hear what the music was saying.

They say to those who are awake, don't be sad anymore, move forward, it will get better.

They say to the sleeping people that all the pain is over, let's go and take you home.

When Cui Jing put down the leaf, she stood up and walked towards Chang Suining, only to see that she had fallen asleep leaning on A Dian's shoulder. The girl's tired sleeping face looked particularly peaceful and harmless under the light of the fire, completely different from the general who was carrying a gun during the day to attack the enemy.

Cui Jing did not disturb her and was about to ask Yuan Xiang to get a thick cloak when she saw Yao Ran walking over and gently covering Chang Sui Ning with a blanket.

Seeing that she was sleeping so deeply, even A Dian felt a little worried and reached out to touch her forehead to make sure that she didn't have a fever. Then he felt relieved, held his breath and pursed his lips, without making a sound, and carefully supported her. shoulder and let her sleep on his lap.

His Highness has become a girl now and has become thinner. He must protect His Highness well.

With an attitude of treating everyone equally, A Dian waved to Cui Jing again, gently patted his other idle leg, and invited him to lie down too.

Cui Jing did not lie down, but sat down by the fire.

He whispered: "Senior, go to sleep, I will guard you."

A Dian was already sleepy and confused. After hearing this, he yawned, nodded obediently, and fell asleep leaning against the big tree behind him.

Cui Jing then sat quietly, adding branches to the fire from time to time to keep Chang Sui Ninghe A Dian warm.

…

The army rested here for two days before finishing the post-war affairs.

In the past two days, the battle report here has been sent back to Bianzhou City.

In the governor's house of Bianzhou, the governor's wife felt unbelievable when she heard the news of the great victory. Facing the servant who came to deliver the message, with a look of ecstasy and a sense of madness, her shock turned into one sentence: "... Are you crazy or am I crazy?"

"Madam...what a great victory!"

The governor's wife was stunned: "How can you be so quick?"

One of Hu Lin's aunts also found it unbelievable: "That's right, how did Mr. Lang come to be so capable!"

After speaking, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and quickly made up for it: "I mean...how can ten thousand people defeat Xu Zhengye's one hundred thousand army?"

At this time, the soldier who reported the news also came in and explained completely: "...This time it is General Ningyuan who and Commander Xiao set up an ambush in Bianshui in advance!"

"General Ningyuan?"

"Coach Xiao..."

How could General Ningyuan and Coach Xiao suddenly appear in Bianshui? Didn't they mean that they had been chasing from behind and had been unable to catch up? !

"...How could this be?"

The news soon spread back to Luoyang. The military advisor in Li Xian's tent was extremely surprised when he heard this and couldn't help but change his expression.

The Xuance Army guarding outside Luoyang City had begun to celebrate the news of the victory over Bianshui. Even though the credit was not theirs, they did not hesitate to praise the soldiers who won the battle.

Winning the war is a good thing, and the fact that Bianzhou City is safe is the greatest relief to them who are not allowed to send troops to help.

They don't care about credit, or in other words, as a Xuance Army, when have they ever lacked credit?

Of course they are not lacking, but some are lacking.

Li Xian sat in the tent for a long time. After repeatedly confirming that the news was correct, his eyes finally darkened.

He was still waiting for the news that Bianzhou could not hold on anymore and begged him to send troops, but who knew that what was waiting for him was the "good news" that Xu Jun was defeated...

Xiao Min and the girl from the Chang family actually set up an ambush in Bianshui in advance, just waiting for Xu Zhengye to fall into the trap... But he knew nothing about such an important plan, and was kept in the dark from beginning to end. .

"My subordinates have confirmed it..." The military advisor returned to the tent and whispered: "The Xu army was not repulsed, but all surrendered."

"What about Xu Zhengye?" Li Xian raised his eyes and looked at the military advisor.

"Xu Zhengye has been killed." The military advisor lowered his eyes and said, "It is said that it was General Ning Yuan who killed him with his own hands. This matter has been spread."

Li Xian narrowed his eyes slightly and let out an indistinguishable laugh.

"What a great General Ningyuan, he is truly a hero from a young man..." He whispered: "The article that was regarded as a piece of arrogant talk by all the officials... actually came true."

Such arrogant and unrealistic lies can come true. Now, she is afraid that she will be regarded as a real general by the people.

With such a remarkable achievement in eliminating Thief Xu in one fell swoop, no one in the court dared to laugh at her, and no one in the court had the right to criticize her faults.

But he was destined to become a joke.

Xu Zhengye was not defeated briefly, but was completely eliminated in one fell swoop...

Therefore, he didn't even have a chance to pursue him. He stood still in Luoyang from beginning to end, which became a complete joke.

Li Xian sat there without much emotion on his face.

The chatter and celebrations outside the tent were particularly harsh in his ears, as if they were mocking him for not getting anything from this trip.

The military advisor said at the right time: "...The general was ordered to guard Luoyang. Now that Luoyang is safe, the general's trip is considered a success... If the general can successfully take charge of the Xuance Army, the opportunity to make achievements will be in the future, so there is no need to care about the gains and losses at this time."

Li Xian came back to his senses and smiled: "What the military advisor said makes sense."

He doesn't need to care about the immediate success.

He just... didn't understand why all the good luck belonged to those people, but he never had the opportunity to show his ambition and be seen by the world.

He had been waiting for too many years, and finally waited for this opportunity, but his plan failed again, and he inevitably felt like he was being tricked by the world.

But the military advisor was right. As long as he could take charge of the Xuance Army and become the new general of the Xuance Army, he would not have to worry about not having the opportunity to show off his talents.

The news of Cui Jing's accident has secretly spread in the capital. Soon, the saint will issue an order to take over the position of general of Xuance Army, and he is the only candidate whom the saint can trust.

Thinking of this, Li Xian calmed down.

He said with a smile: "I asked you to prepare wine. The soldiers and I congratulated each other on the great victory of Bianshui."

The military advisor responded with a smile.

The woman in blue next to Li Xian knelt down and grinded. Li Xian wrote a congratulatory letter in his own hand and prepared to send it to Xiao Min and Chang Sui Ning.

However, as soon as the letter was put into the envelope, I heard that Vice General Yu had returned to camp and asked for a meeting outside.

Li Xian's eyes moved slightly, his smile not diminishing: "Please come in quickly."

Lieutenant General Yu led a thousand light cavalry and left the camp for many days in the name of patrol.

But Li Xian didn't intend to blame him at the moment, he just wanted to hear a brief explanation from the other party - as the future commander of Xuance Army, why might he be more generous at this time?

Soon, Lieutenant General Yu, who had entered the tent and saluted, did give an explanation.

But this explanation was completely beyond Li Xian's expectation.

Good night, sweet dreams~ (Tonight, Xiao Cui will blow leaves to help you sleep)
