Fangyang City Head.
Qi Xingyun looked at Luo Fengtang, and there seemed to be something in his eyes.
"I asked him why he secretly took away the gunpowder and fireworks from the firearms barracks. He said he had received instructions from above to make fireworks to celebrate the victory over Fangyang. Do I want fireworks?!" Qi Xingyun asked softly.
But this soft sound was undoubtedly like thunder, exploding in Luo Fengtang's ears.
Qi Xingyun looked at Luo Fengtang's face and continued: "I know that the general is quite busy on weekdays and is involved in military affairs. He is responsible for one battle after another and is in charge of an army of 200,000. It is normal that he did not see some places. I do not blame you. the meaning of."
"You have to patrol outside the camp every night, personally inspect all the horse-rejecting stakes and horse traps, and check the passwords with each team of patrolling scouts, open sentries, and secret sentries in person before you can rest assured. I understand all of this. See it in your eyes.”
Luo Fengtang quickly stood up and said, "I will definitely investigate this matter strictly."
"You sit down first." Qi Xingyun gestured to Luo Fengtang to sit down and not to express his position in such a hurry.
He looked at Luo Fengtang and said: "What I want is not fireworks, but victory. The battle situation is ever-changing. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. Before you win, you can't be arrogant."
"This is what I want to say today."
Qi Xingyun talked about Taizong's Northern Expedition, of course, not only to talk about Taizong, but also to talk about a situation that everyone believed was a must-win situation, which also had the possibility of losing.
"I will obey the holy instructions." The generals hurriedly bowed their heads and said.
Luo Fengtang stood up and said, "I will go down now to thoroughly investigate what the emperor said and correct the unhealthy trends."
"It's not too late to go after dinner, there's no need to be in such a hurry." Qi Xingyun stopped Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang pointed to the wine pot with a smile and said: "The emperor once advised me not to drink too much, and also made an agreement with me to go straight to Anyi and have a drink before it is too late. I will keep this in mind. When will we have this meal?" It’s never too late to drink again after Yifu.”
Jiang Wulang awkwardly raised his wine glass in the air. It was neither drinking nor not drinking at this time.
Luo Fengtang took the order and left, without even eating, he began to convey the holy metaphors.
Luo Fengtang is a human being, not a god. He will also make mistakes, mistakes, and injuries.
Qi Xingyun is the most laid-back person in the military camp. With his picky eyes, he can naturally see some problems.
Because of the conversation between the emperor and Luo Fengtang, the banquet turned into a banquet with food but no wine. Everyone knew that it was not the time to celebrate yet.
Qi Xingyun returned to the camp and was about to meet Zuo Mingde when Jiang Wulang hurried to the camp and said, "Your Majesty, General Luo, please turn back to Aries City!"
Qi Xingyun looked at Jiang Wulang and asked, "Has there been a change in the military situation on the front line?"
Jiang Wulang nodded and said, "Yes, General Qin Qing of the Han Dynasty led troops from Anyi Prefecture to support him. He has almost arrived at the north bank of Tongtian River. He is cutting wood, building ships and building bridges in the upper reaches, preparing to cross the river and rush to help Fang Yang!"
"The military situation is urgent. Please hurry up and move to Aries City. General He Anyi is operating in Aries City, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Qi Xingyun nodded, signaled Wang Yun to pack his bags, and asked, "Why did General Qin Qing suddenly send troops from Anyi Prefecture?"
Jiang Wulang handed over two military reports and said: "General Qin Qing was ordered to come to Fang Yang's aid, and General He Anyi's military report has also arrived in Aries City and has just been delivered."
"The Han troops have withdrawn near Aries City, I'm afraid they may rush to rescue Fang Yang!"
Qi Xingyun asked hesitantly: "If I leave like this, will the morale of the Qi soldiers be affected?"
Jiang Wulang shook his head and said: "The general said no, and the news is temporarily blocked. The general went to Tongtian River in person to intercept the Han army going south. He said that in case Fangyang was defeated, the emperor could gather the remaining troops in Aries City."
"A portion of the National Guard Army, totaling 20,000 people, will escort the Emperor back to Aries City."
Qi Xingyun's heart tightened.
Isn't it a bit embarrassing for me to run away like this?
He came to witness the victory of the Battle of Fang Yang, but the current military situation made it necessary for him to leave. It would be a lie to say that he was not uncomfortable.
I feel like a deserter.
Seeing that Qi Xingyun was still hesitating, Jiang Wulang hurriedly said: "The emperor has proven his bravery. No one will think that the emperor is timid because of battle. How do you say that word?"
"Oh! Yes! Strategic shift! Yes, yes, yes. That's the word."
Qi Xingyun stared at Jiang Wulang in shock. Did Jiang Wulang learn how to tease others? !
Qi Xingyun looked at the huge map of Kanyu and said, "If you ask someone to organize the army, I will leave the front line immediately."
"Don't give the Han people any chance of victory!"
Qi Xingyun is not a fool, he will not delay business for the sake of face. For the sake of victory, face is something that should be lost.
He didn't know how to set up a formation, and the situation on the battlefield took a sudden turn. He continued to stay here to give the Han people a chance.
Qi Xingyun didn't bother to see Zuo Mingde and returned to Aries City. Wang Yun jumped up and down to pack his things, and his bodyguard carried the box and got into the car.
He had already packed his things and was waiting to leave.
Just when Qi Xingyun was about to get into the car, Jiang Wulang rushed in from outside and said: "Qin Qing has withdrawn his troops. He fled towards the direction of Anyi Mansion. The general chased him for more than ten miles, fearing that there was a scam. , sent out scouts, Qin Qing's army is marching towards Anyi Mansion."
Qi Xingyun scratched his head, looked at Jiang Wulang and asked blankly: "Is this Qin Qing here for a day trip? What is he doing?"
Jiang Wulang looked at the emperor's large and small bags and said helplessly: "Then Qin Qing was also fooled. The nearby tribes took the money, reneged on their promises, and rushed to Anyi Mansion. Qin Qing could only retreat. .”
"Your Majesty, can we leave yet?" the guard stuck his head out of the car window and asked.
Qi Xingyun looked at Jiang Wulang doubtfully, waiting for the generals to give him some advice.
To go or not to go, that is the question.
"What are Qin Qing playing?" Qi Xingyun stood on the driver's seat and looked at the rushing Tongtian River in the distance with confusion.
Qi Xingyun didn't know what Qin Qing was doing, and Luo Fengtang couldn't figure it out either. He passed the ship that had been prepared long ago, crossed the Tongtian River, and went straight to the Han army camp.
But Luo Fengtang jumped into the air. Just when he was wondering, Tan Ma reported back the direction in which the Han soldiers were retreating.
After he led the army in pursuit for ten miles, he found that the enemy's army was not dispersed. This was a retreat, not a collapse.
Luo Fengtang stopped the army and horses in time, signaled the scouts to continue the investigation, and then returned to the Han army camp.
At this time, the deputy general had finished organizing all the camps. He said with a puzzled face: "Some things of the Han army have been sent to the camp. The emperor already knows the reason for the retreat of the Han army. Qin Qing was captured because of Anyi Mansion. The tribesmen on the fringes of the Liao Kingdom plundered and returned to rescue them.”
