wait for me to be king

Xie Changfeng lay on the soft couch and looked at the map. Although he was beaten with twenty army sticks, to be honest, this small injury is really nothing to him, but considering that Wang Zhuang's buttocks were swollen after being beaten with ten army sticks So, he naturally couldn't go out immediately.

Xie Changfeng was not overjoyed when he became the general guard of Yanmen Pass. For the past two days, he had been looking at the information that Dingguo Bus delivered to him and the records of previous years. The first thing he checked was the grain and grass storage and storage of Yanmen Pass in each year. The consumption situation, followed by the storage of spirits and medicine, and the third is the record of military supplies such as weapons, armor, and winter clothes.

Then he called Zhao Ping.

"The general's records are very complete. I selected some things from them for horizontal comparison, and found that this year's food consumption has increased a lot compared with previous years. This is nothing, and it is all within the controllable range; It’s a bit early for the cold weather! It’s colder than the same period in previous years, but the winter clothes for the soldiers have not arrived; I checked the information of the last two months again, and the merchants said that the grasslands are rich in grass and water this year, and many tribes have harvested It's better than previous years, if that's the case, it's fine, but there are reports that many tribes have gatherings, this..."

Xie Changfeng put the intelligence, comparison data, horizontal map and border map that he picked out on the table, and looked at Zhao Ping with burning eyes, "Mr. Zhao, before leaving, my father-in-law said that there might be war at the border..."

Zhao Ping nodded, "That's right, the General has already asked the Ministry of War to send more supplies, but..."

He sighed, "General Xie must also know that the government is unstable now, and the food and logistics..."

"Can you open a position?"

"The nearest granary is in Dai County, and it can be reached in two hours." Zhao Ping said softly, "But to open the granary, you must have the general's order and the official document of the local county magistrate."

"Father-in-law left a blank stamped document?" Xie Chang said affirmatively without raising his head, "Just keep it."

Zhao Ping was taken aback, and opened his mouth to say something, but Xie Changfeng said again, "We need to prepare early and start training intensively tomorrow, and at the same time, we need to trouble Mr. Zhao to take people to various warehouses to check, so there must be no vacancies."

"No problem, I'm planning to talk to the general about it!" Zhao Ping was relieved.

"Is Captain Xiao still in charge of the scout battalion?" Xie Changfeng pondered for a moment, then said, "Let him come to see me."

In war, what we fight is military supplies and intelligence news. Xie Changfeng took a deep breath and clenched his fists. As long as there are no problems in these two aspects, he dares to beat the Huns to the point of crying!

From the second day onwards, Qi Yuan wandered around Yanmen Pass all day. He didn't wander around, but just observed secretly. After a few days, he found that Yanmen Pass was becoming more and more tense. They were all stopped by patrolling soldiers, checked and checked, and asked and asked.

The guards of the royal palace who followed him had a bad temper, and refused a few words. Before Qi Yuan could speak, the patrolling captain waved his hands without saying a word, and twenty or so people surrounded them, and directly took out the The guards of the royal palace who spoke rudely pressed down and beat the ten army sticks.

Qi Yuan watched coldly, until the other party left, he said lightly, "If you don't want to stay, just leave."

Immediately, the guards became honest.

Although his face was cut, Qi Yuan felt happy in his heart.

In any case, this world has been his territory that he has worked hard to protect for decades, and there is nothing that makes him happier than seeing soldiers doing their best to defend their home and country.

For this reason, he said to Zhao Ping, who came to apologize, that this was nothing. On the contrary, he also apologized to Zhao Ping, saying that he had caused trouble for the border guards.

After hearing this, Zhao Ping slandered inwardly, knowing that he was in the way and why not get out?

At the same time, he also admired the eldest son of Dai Wangfu. Dai Wang had arrived in Beijing three days ago. It is said that the second son of Dai Wangfu entertained his relatives in colorful clothes in front of the emperor. Set your mind down and stay at Yanmen Pass unhurriedly. Just this kind of mind is enough to make people look at it highly.

Soon, late autumn passed, and time entered November. Perhaps the three county kings returned to the capital and served decoctions in front of the emperor's bed every day, which made the emperor feel happy. Gradually, the emperor's illness improved a little. The winter clothes and ordnance owed by the Ministry of War finally arrived at the border.

Qi Yuan stayed at the border for a month, but he didn't see Xie Changfeng.

This General Xie acted as if he didn't exist. He trained troops at the border all day long, sometimes went out to inspect, and sometimes thanked guests behind closed doors. No one was to be found.

At this moment, he received a letter from King Dai. The letter said that Qi Yuan had stayed at the border for a long time, so long that the other two younger brothers of King Dai began to speak harshly, so he asked Qi Yuan to speed up. back to Beijing.

Qi Yuan pondered for a long time before he recruited the chief guard, whose surname was Yan, he said to the guard, "Father sent me a letter to return to the capital, and you send ten people back to Daijun, and return to the capital with the lady who stayed in the mansion." .”

Guard Yan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, he hesitated and said, "Your Highness..."

"I'll stay for a few more days, at least I'll see General Xie before leaving." Qi Yuan said casually, "Tell Madam, we will meet in Jinyang."

Guard Yan immediately went out to make arrangements after hearing this, Qi Yuan took a deep breath, and it was almost there.

If he remembered correctly, three days after the first snowfall, it was the day when the Xiongnu went south! !

"You kid finally brought me clothes!!"

Guangwu Fort is not big, it is just south of Yanmen Pass, and it is the bridgehead of Yanmen Pass. Wang Zhuang stayed here for nearly two months, and he was almost frozen into a popsicle.

"The weather is so horrible, it's freezing to death!!" He rushed to the carriage, overturned several carts in a row, and nodded when he saw that the carriages were covered with thick leather coats, "This is more or less..."

Xie Changfeng laughed loudly, "Is this enough?"

Wang Zhuang raised his eyebrows, then his eyes lit up, and he rushed to the end of the line, pulled the felt cloth on the cart, and was immediately surprised, "This...is this a burning knife?!"

It turned out that under the thick felt cloth were three large vats of burning knives. Seeing how deep the wheel was pressed, the capacity of the wine vat must be quite large.

"Yeah! Why don't you hurry up and thank you, General?!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhuang turned his head and hugged Xie Changfeng and patted him heavily, "Grandpa Xie, I thank you!!!"

Then he directly took out the jug and asked the coachman to fill him with wine.

Xie Changfeng rolled his eyes, "Wang Zhuang, what are you in a hurry for?! Tell me about the situation in Guangwu Fort first!!"

"Get lost!! You are a fart in front of burning knives!!"

Xie Changfeng: "..."

Captain Xiao, who is in charge of the scout battalion, has been in Ningwu Fort recently, together with Wang Zhuang who forgets everything when he smells alcohol, and Xie Changfeng who has just handed over the supplies, the three gathered in Wang Zhuang's army in Ningwu Fort. In the account, the discussion began.

Colonel Xiao pointed to the map, "I divided up three groups of scouts, heading north, west, and east, and increased the scope of exploration. A team of [-] kilometers will contact each other every two hours. If any party fails to send a message on time In the past half month, there have been fewer and fewer merchants outside Yanmen Pass, almost none, and no traces of the Huns have been found in the east, but there are occasional Xiongnu civilians in the north and west.”

Xie Changfeng looked at the route of the three scouts, "Very well, continue to do this, always remain vigilant, and report any abnormalities immediately."

"Yes, General."

Xie Changfeng stared at Colonel Xiao closely, "I'll give you whatever you need. What I want is very simple. I need to know where the Huns are right away!!"

Captain Xiao's eyes lit up, "Yes, General!"

"Ningwu Castle only has about [-] people. If the Huns go south on a large scale, this place will be unstoppable. Wang Zhuang, I allow you to release the castle and return to Yanmen Pass at the critical moment!!"

Wang Zhuang screamed, he finally let go of the flagon in his hand, "What did you say?!"

Although everyone knew that Fort Ningwu was basically unable to stop the enemy, but there had never been anyone who spoke directly like Xie Changfeng.

"Instead of being chased by the Huns and running back to Yanmen Pass in embarrassment, I would rather be organized and premeditated to counterattack and retreat back to the pass calmly." Xie Changfeng snorted coldly, "If I get too close to the Huns when I retreat, I will Let the soldiers come in? Or just shoot arrows on the top of the city, so that relatives can hurt enemies?!"

"..." Wang Zhuang and Captain Xiao stared blankly at Xie Changfeng, they didn't expect Xie Changfeng to be so straightforward.

Wang Zhuang became angry with embarrassment, "If we really retreat like that, do you really think we will die?!"

Xie Changfeng said flatly, "How about I set up a monument and burn paper money for you in the future?"

"Thank you Changfeng!!"

Wang Zhuang directly overturned the table and punched Xie Changfeng in the face with his fist. Xie Changfeng stood there motionless, his left face turned blue soon, and his eyes were circled black.

Wang Zhuang's face turned red, and he said word by word, "I'd rather die outside the pass than lead people back!!"

Xie Changfeng raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and then raised his hand to punch Wang Zhuang. He aimed at Wang Zhuang's right cheek and right eye, which happened to be symmetrical with himself.

"Really? Are you proud of being trampled on by the Huns' cavalry?" Xie Changfeng grabbed Wang Zhuang's lapel, "If you have the ability, you can come back alive and kill more Huns instead of dying outside!!"

Wang Zhuang opened his mouth and slapped Xie Changfeng's hand for a long time before he slapped Fei Xie Changfeng's hand. He said in a concentrated voice, "My soldiers are all dead, why go back?"

"...You can't bring back just 800 people?!"

Wang Zhuang was about to go mad with anger, "Isn't anyone who guards the fort dead?!"

"So here I am."

Xie Changfeng said calmly, "I said, you do it, understand?"

Wang Zhuang was stunned.

Xie Changfeng smiled. There are still many people in Shanyin County. It is better to organize their defense and retreat in advance than to be driven away by the Huns to the Yanmen Pass city and cry loudly.

Three days later, light snow fell from the sky, and after one night, the sky and the earth were all white.

That night, Colonel Xiao received an urgent report that the soldiers on the North Scouting Camp did not send back the message on time, so he quickly informed Xie Changfeng of the information, Xie Changfeng made a decisive decision, sent a message to Yanmen Pass, and at the same time asked all the garrison personnel of Ningwu Fort to ride lightly on the road, abandon the fort and leave. go.

The Xiongnu who attacked at night found that the people in the castle were empty. At the same time, Xie Changfeng's bowstring was like a full moon, and he fell into Ningwu Castle with a long arrow of sparks. Suddenly, it was like fire meeting oil. Swell up.

Xie Changfeng was accompanied by about twenty soldiers from the scout battalion, most of them were good at bows and arrows, at this moment they shot arrows again and again, and immediately set the entire Ningwu Castle on fire.

Colonel Xiao murmured, "It turns out that the burning knives in these three vats are used for this..."

Xie Changfeng glanced at him, "Of course, alcohol is forbidden in the army, how could I really transport them to drink?!"

Captain Xiao: =口=!

"By the way, didn't that guy Wang Zhuang take away a big pot? Let him lead the army stick by himself when he goes back!"

Captain Xiao: "..."

Everyone has a black history, and Xie Changfeng also has it, but he paid a heavy price for his black history, so now he looks mature and capable, please be patient, if it is indeed a bug, I will modify it, and the others will not spoil La!
