Minister

Chapter 22

22【Six Years of Jiankang】

In the morning, Wei Chi's back pain improved a bit, although he was still a little uncomfortable, but he was not able to walk with a limp.

"Two more days!" Du Qihuan secretly raised two fingers.

Two days?Wei Chi rubbed his waist, coughed lightly, and turned to look for Hu Yanglin: "Ask Tang He to come over."

At this moment Tang He was leading his men to the rear army, if he said that he had been lazy these few days, he couldn't do it.Rectifying military discipline is a cumbersome job. The sergeants have not eaten well or slept well these few days, and they are inevitably a little impetuous. Tang He was afraid that Wei Chi would catch his pigtails, so he didn't dare to neglect at all, and he has not passed these few days. what a good day.

"Report!" A small soldier ran over: "Mr. Hu Qian is looking for you."

Populus euphratica?A few drops of sweat broke out on Tang He's forehead, and after much deliberation, he felt that there was no excuse, so he had to bite the bullet and go see Wei Chi.

It was still early, and Wei Chi's troops were still preparing. Tang He looked at the little white face from a distance and seemed to be a bit haggard. Although there were some sixteen or seventeen-year-old youths in the Wang family army, this was the only one who was an official. I just think this person is a prostitute and naturally don't take it to heart, but after seeing his methods and style in the past few months, I really feel a little afraid.I was worried about whether I would be troubled before, but I didn't expect that the little boy seemed to be happy to be with me, except for the daily routine business, I didn't say a word to myself, I thought he didn't miss the old grudge... No Thinking about today...□!I will not be afraid of you, the rabbit master!

Tang He straightened his back: "See Wei Shenling."

"Well," Wei Chi nodded: "Is military discipline okay?"

"If you go back to the leader, except for a few infantry who are lagging behind, all the other ministries can arrive on time before setting up camp. So far, no lagging has been found."

It seems that you have done a good job, Wei Chi sighed: "Starting from today, every afternoon, you will bring fifteen people over to help me protect the gun carriage. For the rest of the time, you will continue to act as usual. Okay, there is nothing else to do, go Do your thing."

Wei Chi took the cloak handed over by Chen Hu with his left hand, and patted Tang He's shoulder with his right hand: "The previous work was good, and I hope we can continue to work hard."

Tang He saw Wei Chi walking away majestically with his official airs, and dared not speak out, so he had to silently recite Wei Chi's ancestor 120 times in his heart.

"General Tang..." Hu Yanglin arched his hands: "Why do you have to fight with Wei Canling... After all, he is our boss, if he is not afraid of officials, he is afraid of management. Besides, this is also an extraordinary period. Discord between generals is a taboo..."

Tang He glared at Hu Yanglin: "You have only been with him for a few months? You know how to say good things about him to build relationships?"

Hu Yanglin laughed.

Seeing Populus euphratica smiling but not answering, Tang He drew back his eight-woman temperament: "Brother Hu, you are an honest man, don't you know that my old Tang is also an honest man? It's also a complete sincerity. It's just that I don't like this guy... You haven't been to the Ministry of War, so you don't know about him. Two years ago, he fell in love with the King of Yan. No one in the civil and military courts cares about him. That's a shitty thing. Look at other people's previous Zhou Wuzheng king but don't know the ass-selling things he did later, □, civil servants are so shameless that they have nothing to say!"

Seeing that Populus euphratica's face was a bit ugly, Tang He became more and more proud: "Is it disgusting? I don't know why this person is deceived by some kind of lard. He is willing to be raped by a man. I vomit just thinking about it..."

Hu Yanglin felt that these words were harsh, and it was not easy to contradict him, so he could only shirk and leave.

"Brother Hu, you are an honest man, listen to me bragging with you slowly when you have time in the future..." Tang He remembered that he still had something to do, and although he still had something to say, he didn't dare to delay any longer.

"Yes, General Tang, you are busy." Hu Yanglin forced a smile.

Being a pet, Hu Yanglin was a little disturbed for a while.Although I have never seen a "prostitute" in my life, I feel that Shaohu's demeanor is not like that person. If he really wants to serve others in Israel, why should he be so harsh on himself?I was chased by the Monan cavalry that day, but I didn't see the slightest fear in him. These days, I can see his courage and courage. As a civil servant, he can achieve such achievements in the military camp. Why should he be in Hanlin? When I was doing editorial at the academy, I went to... how about going to be with King Yan?Although I don't know about official career and economics, I also know that people who enter the court and become officials are not allowed to get along with the princes.

"Huyanglin!" Wei Chi called out.

Hu Yanglin quickly ran a few steps and followed.

"There are still a lot of things to do today, we have to work harder." Wei Chi turned his head and smiled at Populus euphratica, and stroked the broken hair by his ears casually.

He shouldn't be so good-looking... Hu Yanglin's mind buzzed with this sentence.Could it be that King Yan in the capital fell in love with this person? ...Could it be that this person fell in love with that King Yan...?

"Hey, why are you in a daze?" Wei Chi patted Populus euphratica on the chest with the back of his hand.

"Oh!" Hu Yanglin came back to his senses.

"Let's go." Wei Chi turned around and was about to mount his horse.

"Shaohu," Hu Yanglin suddenly grabbed Wei Chi's sleeve: "Why did you come to the Wang Family Army? Isn't it good to be in the Imperial Academy?"

"Huh?" Wei Chi turned around strangely.

Hu Yanglin realized that he had lost his composure for a moment, so he quickly let go.

"Although the Imperial Academy is good, how can it be more enjoyable than galloping on the battlefield?" Wei Chi turned on his horse and laughed heartily: "Why are you so smudged today? Get on the horse quickly, or Staff Officer Du will ask me for tea!"

Is it King Yan?Populus euphratica also got on the horse, and secretly glanced at Wei Chi, is it King Yan?He asked you to stay in the Imperial Academy and you stayed in the Imperial Academy, and he asked you to come to Monan and you came to Monan... Shaohu, Shaohu, is it worth your name?

This day, Du Qihuan's mouth had blisters, which made him ouch.The army marched until the sun set. Wei Chi saw that Du Qihuan was too much to bear, so he prepared to replace him. Ning Yuan, who had been silent all the time, took the initiative to stand up and said that this was a matter of military discipline, and the officer must lead by example. I and the warlord absolutely did not allow Du Qihuan to rest early.

Wei Chi wanted to argue, but Du Qihuan just shook his head: "Don't argue, Ning Shenling's words are reasonable, Wei Chi, you just entered the barracks, so naturally you don't know these rules, so don't embarrass everyone."

The sun completely sank into the mountains, and the army finally took advantage of the last ray of sunlight to set up camp.Wei Chi looked at the cold white flour pancakes handed over by Chen Hu and felt a little unappetizing: "I don't want to eat today..."

"My lord!!!!" Chen Hu bulged his eyes, "No!!!! People are like iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat this meal, how will you get up tomorrow morning!!!!"

Wei Chi had no choice but to pick one at random and prepared to eat it.

"My lord..." Chen Hu took out a bag of sugar: "I went to get it secretly..."

Wei Chi smiled and patted Chen Hu on the shoulder. He really learned from good people and learned from Duan Gong to dance gods...

"Didn't your lord send General Tang to help today? Why are you still so tired?" Chen Hu asked while making the bed.

"Yeah..." Wei Chi thought for a while: "Although it's a good time, but... Mr. Hu Qian is always distracted today, maybe he's tired..."

These men are really useless, Wei Chi sighed, Du Qihuan is just over 40, why is Populus euphratica so tired that his eyes are blind?It will be fine tomorrow morning...

"It was brought by the female prisoner brought back by my lord." Chen Hu made the bed and took out a bottle of medicinal wine.

"Oh, did she say anything?" Wei Chi took the medicine bottle and looked at it.

Chen Hu shook his head.

"Well, you should go and rest too." Wei Chi was a little disappointed, he turned the small bottle upside down, recalled the disgusting smell, thought about it, and threw it into the box at his feet.

Wei Chi got out of bed early the next morning. According to Du Qihuan, this is the last day!Wei Chi was extremely excited when he thought of leaving this valley forever, leaving these shallow ditches forever, and leaving these "flowing trees" with chaotic numbers forever.

"Why does the young man seem to have taken the wrong medicine?" Du Qihuan was in pain all over, pointing to Wei Chi who was alive and kicking, he asked Ning Yuan very puzzled.

Ning Yuan didn't respond to the self-contained checker's poor military rations.

"Aiya... I won't be bothered once Lao Du leaves." Du Qihuan felt dejected.

"Here's a bottle of medicine for you." Wei Chi took his official document, checked the seal, and was about to leave when he saw Du Qihuan lying on a chair dying. After thinking about it, he walked over: "This medicine is okay, but it smells a little bit bad."

"Where did it come from?" Du Qihuan played with this small glass bottle full of exotic customs.

"Ask for that Qi Qige."

"Yo! You are really capable!" Du Qihuan smiled wretchedly.

"Who told me and Mr. Xu to save her life? Hehehe" Wei Chi smiled even more obscenely and began to brag: "She brought two bottles, one for me and one for Mr. Xu. Your Excellency is not here, you are always taking advantage of it."

"Is it useful?" Du Qihuan unscrewed the plug and sniffed.

"The woman told me that their family has been selling medicines for several lifetimes, and they have a well-known name in Monan. Although the medicine smells a little bit, it does work. I tried it. It's not a good thing. I can give it to you. You?" Wei Chi became addicted to bragging, and by the way, he also tampered with Sol Hahan's family affairs.

Du Qihuan gave Wei Chi a secret look, you little fool, can this kind of bottle be used by ordinary people?People are princesses!princess!Hey... I don't understand, so you can't see it at all?Two days ago, I heard that the princess came to see you, but I didn't expect to give you this medicine... The princess has you in her eyes!Do you really think you want to give it to that old man Xu Yue?Young man, you can't be too slow...

Wang Yunyi was also pondering in his tent: I have to rely on this eldest princess to deal with it when I enter the capital...Young man, you can't be too slow...

Wei Chi pretended to be pure and looked at Du Qihuan's increasingly wretched face and smiled inwardly: She is a woman, and I am also a woman... What you think is useless...

Du Qihuan said it was a day, and it really was a full day!Tossing from morning to night, I was stunned to see the mountain pass vaguely until the sun went down.Fortunately, the closer the Lishan Pass was, the fewer shallow ditches there were. Wei Chi heaved a sigh of relief and encouraged everyone to leave quickly.After setting up the camp, Wei Chi and Du Qihuan began to clean up the "driftwood". These worn out "driftwood" were piled up together, and after Wei Chi checked the numbers one by one, Du Qihuan drew and recorded them.

It's almost midnight after work.

Du Qihuan hammered his waist: "Burn it." If it is to go out of the mountain pass and burn it again, it will become a "beacon fire".

Looking at the raging fire, Wei Chi couldn't help feeling petty: "Twenty thousand taels of silver...my 400-year salary..."

Du Qihuan sighed: "Go back and wash up..."

That night, Wei Chi had a dream of [-] taels of silver, which made his heart beat loudly.Du Qihuan had a dream full of numbers, and he began to hate why he didn't learn some arithmetic back then, and let the young man get all the limelight for nothing today.Xu Yue had already left the mountain pass ahead of time, and his old face was getting haggard by the mountain wind these days. He dreamed of his good grandson, although his son hadn't been able to marry a wife yet.

Wang Yunyi suffered from insomnia. In the middle of the night, he was sitting alone in front of the lamp, and inadvertently began to tremble. Qiao Yunsheng, are you still alive?

Saul Hahan suffered from insomnia. The warmth of the tent could not resist the coldness of the living beings. Is Monan going to perish?What are you doing?It's true that I can't fall out with Wang Yunyi now... But is there any point in lingering like this?

It's the middle of May, and it's about to end... The spring in the grassland has come, although it is late, it has come.

The sun will rise earlier, and the answer to the mystery will eventually be revealed by time.

Before noon, the army finally arrived at the mountain pass. Looking at Xu Yue and others waving at him in the distance, Wei Chi suddenly felt like weeping with joy. He looked back at the gloomy valley, hoping that he would never step into her again in this life. .At this time, Wei Chi was innocent and lovely. He didn't know that fate is the most annoying thing, and people's nightmares often have to be staged in one place many times, and they will intensify.

The innocent and lovely Wei Chi completely relaxed at this moment, he drank the steaming broth contentedly, and gorged on the big meat sticks that made him sick to his stomach before.

Wang Yunyi looked at the sky with a completely different mood. He knew that the day to accept the judgment of fate had arrived.He doesn't believe in gods, but at this moment, he puts down all his dignity and prays... for Qiao Yunsheng, for Wang Jiajun, and for Daqi.

After a short rest, the Wang family's army barely recovered their strength, and they now knew their mission - not to assist King Qin, but to attack Wulanchabu, the capital of Monan.It will take about two days to reach Ulanqab from the mountain pass. Wang Yunyi ordered the mobilization of various ministries:

Those who rush to the tower will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver!

Whoever kills the enemy general will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver!

It was only at this time that Wei Chi had seen the power of money, and the sluggish infantry all regained their spirits, and even many cavalry and artillery were gearing up for a try.

"Wu Bailiang! My ten-year salary!" Wei Chi chatted with Xu Yue while drinking the third bowl of broth.

Xu Yue smiled: "Master Wei, don't even think about it. This is not a job you can take on. When you are attacking the city, don't run around. If you eat stray bullets, you will be unlucky."

Hearing this, Wei Chi wiped the corner of his mouth in disapproval. I'll kill everyone. Could it be possible to scare me out of my courage by watching the battle?

Xu Yue saw that Wei Chi was playing tricks on him with his own words, so he didn't try to persuade him much, but just kept his mind on it and took him a little closer.

After lunch, all the officers held a meeting. Wang Yunyi assigned countless tasks and issued countless orders. Wei Chi felt a headache when he heard it, and felt that this general was really not a job done by himself.

The west gate of Ulanqab faces the mountain pass of the Ikezhao Mountains. Of course, there is no reason for the Wang Jiajun to bypass the west gate to open other gates when they come out from here.Speaking of Wulanchabu, it is also quite strange. There is a natural barrier in the west, Ikezhao, guarding the gate for him. There are many small tribal leaders stationed outside the city gates in the south and east. Some economic transactions, and some social activities, when it comes to wartime, it is a terrible field force.Want to attack the city?Dare to ask, how do you attack a group of cavalry rushing around in your artillery formation?Dare I ask a group of archers to shoot cold arrows in the east and west in your infantry battalion, how do you attack?You come with a full set of equipment, heavy cavalry, light cavalry, artillery and infantry?Good idea... Do you think those cannons on the city wall are placed there to look good?There is also one of the prairie iron cavalry in the city - the Golden Army. Behind you are the irascible Juelu people. It only takes three days from their ordering of troops to your front.Yes, there is also the north gate. It is a pity that there is a huge river outside the north gate. This river originates from the Ikezhao Mountains. In addition to providing drinking water for the entire Ulanqab, it can also pour all the people who fell into it intentionally or not. The people rushed clean.It's not a good idea to line up in front of the river.

The four city gates are ready to respond at any time.Even after Wa'ena, the "Heavenly Soldiers" still face huge problems.

Wang Yunyi looked at everyone with confidence: "Send troops!"

"Yes!"

As if this is not a problem, everyone is full of confidence.

The May of the sixth year of Jiankang was a nightmare for the people of Monan. The defenders of Ximen found a mighty army approaching them as if they had wings.

Looking at the big "king" on the military flag, the defense of the city is inexplicable.

"What is that?" He asked his subordinates in surprise.

He was answered by the salvo of cannons.

The artillery of the Royal Army began to bombard indiscriminately, and when the sound of the artillery stopped for a while, the front army had already set up its formation, and the three forwards—Xu Lang, Sun Delong, and Yang Nianru covered the two infantry commanded by Du Yu and Wang Xiaowei. Start approaching the wall.

The defenders, who had barely calmed down from the artillery fire, quickly organized troops to prepare for a counterattack.

How is this going to be?The opponent has a large number of cavalry, and I am afraid that sending troops out by myself will not take advantage of it!

"Fire the cannon! Get the cannon ready!" Now it's all about the cannon!

The city wall of Ulanqab is nearly 20 meters high, and it is the best fortification in Monanxiu. With this height, the power of the artillery can be doubled.Sure enough, under the artillery fire, the troops of the Qi army began to disperse.Shoucheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, as long as he can hold out until the time of support, he is safe from danger.

After a round of artillery fire, the Qi army quickly retreated and assembled by taking advantage of the gap in filling the artillery.Although the Monan artillerymen on the top of the city panicked, they didn't dare to panic. They couldn't wait anymore, so they brought water and poured it on the cannon barrel to make it cool faster.

"City guard! I'm afraid that after another round of cannonballs, these people will rush under the city wall. At that time, the cannonballs will not be able to hit them. What should we do?"

"Damn! It's been half an hour now! Where are the reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements?? Let me go! Go on! Call me up the infantry, call up the archers! Find the chief city guard!! Give him Said to transfer all the people from the North Gate to me!!!"

Outside the city at the south gate, there was a mess... It was like magic soldiers descended from the sky. This group of ferocious people held strange firearms and shot when they saw tribes, even the old and weak, women and children were not spared.

"Monan!!! I'm going to subjugate you today!!!" Qiao Yunsheng looked up to the sky and screamed, "I'm going to subjugate you!!!!"

The author has something to say: Qiao Yunsheng: Hello!You said that you want to overhaul, so you won't delete my play until there is only one line left?

Laoqian: It’s two sentences... Uncle...

Qiao Yunsheng: ………………………………………
