【180 Chapter Four】

It was midnight, and the frost and wind invaded.Chi Heng went back to the house, the house was newly tidied up, and all the belongings inside were brand new, and he opened the door to go in, when he heard a loud voice: "Brother Chi."

Standing in the center of the room is Xin Que, full of heroic spirit.

Chi Heng helped his forehead.

Xin Que quickly ran over to help him to bed, and said dissatisfiedly, "Brother, you didn't call me for the celebration banquet—forget it, I know the reason, isn't it because I belong to the Yizhou Army? You are all from the Qianyuan Army— —Two days ago, I was busy fighting and didn't talk to my eldest brother!"

You know you still pout?Chi Heng lay flat on the bed and said with a smile: "Po Jing said that you are doing well these days."

Xin Que said proudly: "That's right, the number of enemy troops killed is the first."

"Okay! What kind of reward do you want!"

Xin Que wrinkled his nose, and grinned: "It's right to kill the enemy for the eldest brother, what else do you want to reward, the eldest brother will send me more elite soldiers in the future, and, brother Po always tells me not to do this or that, I'm very restrained, I want to follow Big Brother——When I was leaving, Liang Huzi said: These five thousand soldiers are for Brother Chi, if I want to go back, I will go back, and if I don't want to go back, I will follow Brother Chi—so, don't Always treat me like an outsider!" After saying that, he fell onto the bed with a thud, turned over, and lay down on the pillow excitedly, looking at Chi Heng anxiously.

Chi Heng couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that Liang Qianlie never thought of going back when Xin Que was sent here, so he raised his hand and patted the back of his head: "It's not free to follow the elder brother, how is it doing in the Qianyuan army? Did you have any conflicts with anyone? Did Jing Shuo explain anything when he left?"

"Brother Jing asked me to stand still and wait for him to come back."

"Following the Qianyuan army, is it better than following General Liang? For example, what is the difference in fighting, what is the difference in generals, and, uh..." Chi Heng racked his brains and was at a loss for words.

"It's so different. Liang Huzi used to not let me do anything for fear that I would make a mistake. Now Brother Po loves to let me play the vanguard. Any enemy general with strong martial arts will let me go. I can fight with great strength." Xin Que broke Finger said, "There is also Brother Rong, who gives me the best weapons, and Brother Jing, with him in my team, I have won countless battles and have never gone wrong. By the way, there is also General Shi—he , he doesn't talk to me much."

Chi Heng smiled: "Then who do you think is the best?"

"Big brother is the best."

Chi Heng was ashamed, what's wrong with the eldest brother, did he hit him lightly enough or scold him not hard enough?He really couldn't figure out how Xin Que had identified him. After thinking about it, could it be because Xin Que always carried him on his back and gave him food when he was a child?This is too easy!

Xin Que asked enthusiastically again: "Brother, why didn't Brother Qu come back?"

"He went back to his hometown to practice swords."

Xin Que frowned, and said with a serious expression: "Brother, you are now the leader of the Qianyuan Army, he should follow Big Brother the most, how can he appear for a while and disappear for a while?"

Xin Que was eloquent, Chi Heng answered without a word, and soon fell asleep, next to Xin Que was like a big stove.

Because of Xin Que's words, Chi Heng dreamed of Yan Xing. Yan Xingfei practiced his sword in the withered bushes. Sword shadow.Yan Xing swept the fine snow in the red and white sword shadows, and then slowly fell on the branches, reflecting a clear and full moon, wearing a long dress and fluttering, as if ascending to a fairy.

After waking up, Chi Heng immediately repaired a letter and sent it to the Yan Mansion in Shuzhou, urging Yan Xing to come back.

Chi Heng didn't stop, because there are still three cities in Ningzhou that are still owned by Zheng Yi.

He divided the Qianyuan Army into three branches, and they will march today.

A group led by Shi Wei, a group headed by Huo Chi, and a group headed by Cen Po Jing Rongyue, piercing these three cities like three sharp arrows.The three attacking directions are also different. Cen Pojing and Rong Yue are attacking the northeast of Ningzhou, which is bounded by Shuzhou, and they still need to resist Feng Zhencang's attack; Anzhou occupied by Zheng Yi bordered on it; Chi Hengte handed over Xin Que to Shi Wei. Shi Wei attacked in the northwest and was adjacent to Sizhou, so he fought with Ma Xingzhi.

After the three armies were exhausted, there were very few people left in the general's mansion.

Suddenly lively, suddenly deserted, Chi Heng found Ji Ce, who was lying on the recliner, with a book covering his face and one hand covering the book. The warm sun of early winter shone on his hands, thin and fair.Chi Heng stood for a while, and with a movement of Ji Ce's hand, he slowly pulled down the scroll, revealing a handsome face: "You don't make a sound when you come, what are you doing standing there?"

"I'm not stupid, who will match your pretending to sleep?"

Ji Ce raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What's the matter?"

When the waiter brought the tea, a faint smell of medicine spread out, and Chi Heng poured out a cup, with a thick blue color: "What kind of tea are you drinking?"

"A tea ground from soothing herbs."

"Didn't sleep well? I have a friend who is good at medicine. He will be here in two days. Let him feel your pulse." Chi Heng brought tea to Ji Ce, "The three armies have all been dispatched. Do you have any suggestions for dispatching my soldiers?" ?”

"You only want me to suggest it after you've posted it?"

Chi Heng smiled: "I had to find you two days ago, the arrow is on the string, I have to send it - I originally hoped that you could lead Cen Pojing, so that he and Rong Yue could be divided into two teams, but , I'm afraid you don't have that kind of thought."

Ji Ce sighed: "It's true that I don't have the intention to fight north and south."

"Then stay with me and make Dingjun County well." As the base of the Qianyuan Army, of course it is also a top priority. Many internal affairs make Chi Heng stretched, and winter is coming soon. The more invincible the front, the more invincible the rear. Feel more empty.He can dispatch troops and generals, but he is still very impatient with various chores.

"I just need to fiddle with the General's Mansion."

Just as he was talking, a group of people came in carrying shovels and hoeing saplings, saying that they were going to plant trees for the general's mansion. Ji Ce jumped up and followed behind to give pointers.Seeing that he was very busy, Chi Heng was very relieved.This side hall was originally the yard of a concubine of the old owner, so there are a lot of flowers and trees, one corner of the yard is full of trees more than ten feet long, and there are no leaves in winter, and the branches stretch out.

Seeing Chi Heng's frowning, the gardener said, "This yard was originally called Peach Blossom Court, and these are all peach trees, which bloom very well in spring."

"It's all cut!"

The gardener was surprised and said, "This is a very rare rouge peach, very rare."

"Cut it off! There can't be peach blossoms in the mansion!"

Seeing Chi Heng's solemn expression, the gardener hastily ordered to dig up all the peach trees, and then said cautiously: "I brought here wintersweet, cycads, camellias, roses, plantains, wisterias, red-leaved plums, white magnolias, and pomegranate trees." , cedar, cypress, citrus, gladiolus... I wonder if the general has any orders?"

"Just listen to Deputy Envoy Ji!"

Ji Ce on the side smiled faintly: "But I love peach blossoms the most... Let's go, let's just look at your face as a joke. Just leave the General's Mansion to me, and keep it in an elegant and pleasant way. Don't spoil it."

"as long as you are happy!"

Chi Heng has too many things to do. He doesn't lead troops to fight, but everything is closely related to fighting.

Ji Ce turned the entire General's Mansion upside down.There are only a dozen or so people in total, and it can only be said to be a toss, not a big project.When Chi Heng met, sometimes he was making people dig a pond, sometimes he was building a rockery, and sometimes he stood there and wrote a plaque there. Ji Ce's own courtyard is called "Yun Yinju", and by the way, he broke Cen, Jingrongyue, Huoqi and others. It's all inscribed.

Chi Heng asked curiously, "Why isn't General Shi Wei's courtyard?"

"Shi Wei knows how to ask questions by himself."

Every time the sun sets, Chi Heng will go to live in seclusion in the clouds. The yard after tidying up is indeed pleasing to the eye, quiet and clear, dense and dense, although there is no green in the yard, and the thin snow falling on the stones is very charming.Chi Heng spent more and more time inquiring about military affairs, and Ji Ce gradually turned his attention to it.

When encountering some internal affairs, Chi Heng sent people directly to Yun to live in seclusion.

By the end of October, good news spread frequently, and Ningzhou was completely breached, and even Lingcheng, which lived in a remote corner, was captured by Shi Wei in one fell swoop.Much faster than expected, Chi Heng happily ran to tell Ji Ce, and then said: "November is too cold to fight anymore, let them garrison on the spot first!"

Ji Ce thought: "It's all for the others, one of Rong Yue or Cen Pojing has to come back, the two of them just stay there and waste it."

"Will Rong Yue come back?"

"Cen Pojing is more than brave, but poor in intelligence and strategy. He has no capable people under his command." Ji Ce thought for a while, "It's a pity that Wen Yunbai returned to Duan Di... Yuanzhou should be a little bit disturbed, Chi Yihui They didn't move after a while?"

"In October, the Southwest King aggressively attacked Yuanzhou."

Ji Ce smiled: "No wonder you are so calm, let them spend first. If Duan Di can't resist the Southwest King this time, we can easily take it down."

"Duan Die will last until March next year at most."

Ji Ce smiled: "Let them fight, we can grab the territory with Zheng Yi recklessly. What about Yizhou? How about Liang Qianlie? I guess it should be evenly matched with Feng Zhencang. Feng Zhencang is not bad, back then With so many cities, why Yan Luan chose to start from Yizhou instead of Shuzhou is because Feng Zhencang is very tenacious, we can only choose Yizhou, which is strong outside but capable in the middle."

Chi Heng was silent.

Ji Ce sighed, stepped forward and pinched his face: "It's like this again, what can we do with the dead man, after a hundred years, it will be a handful of loess, and we will see each other sooner or later!"

Chi Heng looked outside the high wall.

The most painful and difficult time has passed.It took him a whole year to forget, but a year later, because he wanted to persuade different people, he opened the wound again and again, running from Leizhou to Stonezhou, from Stonezhou to Kuzi County, and again. When he ran to Yuanzhou, where no one else could see, blood dripped into his bones.Finally, as the dust gradually fell, he wanted to bury that name again, seal it up, never mention it again, let the wound scab and heal slowly, and "a hundred years later", the body and all the memories will age, decay, become dust, and become old together. cigarette.
