As the saying goes, soldiers are the courage of generals, and generals are the soul of soldiers. This man is the banner of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and as the coach, he is the root of the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Xiaoqi Battalion. If you are surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers, let them continue to be embarrassed. That was not only an insult to a third-grade general, but also an insult to the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Xiaoqi battalion.
Just when Huang Qiong was at a loss when facing the stubborn Yudu commander. Fan Jian's lazy voice came from behind him: "Since the King of England has made up his mind, you don't want to stop him. Although we have not been together for a long time, there have been a few days. Have you ever seen the King of England make up his mind? Changed easily? Don’t worry, our prince has your heart in mind."
But before he finished speaking, he felt a sudden chill all over his body. Looking up, he found that the generals of the Xiaoqi camp, including Zhao Wuye and Liu Hu, were looking at him with murderous eyes. Even his own eldest brother, who is now temporarily serving as the King's bodyguard, looks at him with a somewhat unkind look.
Although he was not afraid of the murderous glances from around him, the coldness in these gazes made Fan Jian still swallow his saliva involuntarily and said with a dry smile: "Everyone, since the day our prince arrived at the Xiaoqi Camp, when have you ever seen our prince? , have you ever acted impulsively? If our prince wants to go, he must have a reason to go. Don’t worry, our prince has a sense of proportion. "
Seeing Commander Yu Du, he was so angry at his words that he pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword. He was glaring at him with a look that ate his heart out. Even though Fan Jian had always been bold, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. He quickly smiled and said: "Master Yu, don't look at me like that. I'm very timid, but I can't stand being scared. If you scare me out of trouble, you have to feed me."
But after Fan Jian's joke, he found that the people around him were still glaring at him. Fan Jian scratched his head and realized that if the joke continued, these guys might really eat him alive. He said to the Yu Du commander: "Master Yu, you still need to bring the letter of pardon that the prince gave you." Come on. As long as this pardon is here, the battle cannot be fought today."
"This? The pardon given by the prince is now on the general's body. The prince is generous and considers that most of the rebels are civilians who were brought in, and he cannot bear to kill more. This thought, the general will not dare to forget for a moment. ." Hearing Fan Jian mention the pardon letter, Commander Yu Du said in confusion. He didn't know whether this battle would start or not, what would it have to do with the pardon letter?
He just didn't know why, but he had to say some things that he should say. The King of England was extremely bold, and his staff was also very frivolous. Some words are best left to the front: "Mr. Fan, now the rebels are out in force and have set up their formation outside the pass. You actually told me that this battle can't be fought. Isn't this a big joke?"
"Now that our army is about to take the opportunity to fight, you are so arrogant, and you are suspected of cholera's military morale. On the battlefield, no one can guarantee that no accidents will happen. If something happens to His Royal Highness, who will bear the responsibility? Can you afford it? What evidence do you have to prove that the rebels are ready to be captured?"
"If you hadn't said one, two, three, even if I tried to punish the prince, I would have punished you for ruining the morale of the army and putting the prince in danger. No matter how eloquent you are, I will not believe in treason. The army will surrender easily. You must know that I am not only responsible for this battle, but also responsible for the lives and future of tens of thousands of soldiers in the Xiaoqi Battalion."
Regarding the answer from Commander Yu Du, Fan Jian chuckled and said: "Well, since Mr. Yu is afraid of taking responsibility, then just ask Fan to vouch for it. With the sword's head on his neck as guarantor, this battle cannot be fought at all. Since If the war can’t start, the prince’s safety won’t be a big problem.”
"Jian is still young and has not yet married a wife and has children, so he cherishes his life very much. With Jian's head on his neck as guarantee, Mr. Yu should be relieved. As for the evidence, I'm sorry, Jian can't tell clearly yet. Wait a moment When we get to the battlefield, Master Yu will understand it at a glance. Master Yu, instead of having useless arguments here, we might as well understand it at a glance when we get out of seclusion."
The dispute between the two people made Huang Qiong very dissatisfied. Huang Qiong, who thought this was a waste of time, rudely interrupted the two people who were about to say anything else: "Okay, stop arguing. Since King Jing has already arrived in front of the formation, he doesn't care about this battle. What is the ending, I will definitely see this side."
"With the protection of so many brave soldiers in the Qiaoqi Battalion, it would be a big joke for the rebels to attack me. Sir Yu, I understand your wishes, so you don't need to say anything. Instead of being here Instead of arguing in vain, you might as well do your job. Don't worry, Mr. Fan is someone who cherishes his own life. I am younger than him, and I am not someone who abuses myself."
Huang Qiong, who ignored the two people, took the reins of the horse handed over by Liu Hu, got on the horse again, took the reins with him, raised his head and faced the troops of the Xiaoqi camp in front of him, and said loudly: "This battle is related to the vitality of our great Qi." , will the losses be too great due to this internal strife? It is related to the face and decency of the imperial court, and even more related to whether the famous name of Xiaoqi Camp can be carried forward and prosperous."
"Today, my king goes to the battlefield with you. Even if it is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, I will accompany you. I hope that you can carry forward the glory of the frontier army and defeat the enemy in one battle. For our great Qi, keep a little more vitality. . To bring the imperial court’s face and dignity into full play, and to give full play to the prestige of our Xiaoqi Camp, which has been victorious in every battle since it was founded by the King of Guilin. The Xiaoqi Camp will win, and Da Qi will win.”
Huang Qiong's words boosted the morale of the entire army in almost the shortest time. Every one of the soldiers present raised their swords and guns almost simultaneously, shouting that the Xiaoqi camp must win and Daqi must win. Not to mention ordinary sergeants, even more mature and prudent generals also shouted in unison while riding on their horses.
Looking at the shouts in front of him, the troops of the Xiaoqi camp were like landslides and tsunamis, Huang Qiong smiled lightly and said to the commander: "I believe that there are so many loyal and brave warriors in front, so what if the rebels are rampant? With so much There are many loyal and brave soldiers to protect us, but how can a few clowns stand up to me? No problem, order the switch, and I and the entire army will fight together."
Seeing Huang Qiong's firm attitude, Commander Yu Du wanted to persuade him. But Zhao Wusha, who was beside him, quietly tugged on his sleeve and shook his head gently. Seeing Zhao Wusha, he stopped trying to persuade him, and Commander Yu Du could only helplessly shake his head. They could only transfer the five hundred cavalry who followed Huang Qiong to Hulao Pass as guards to protect the prince.
After the city gate was opened and the suspension bridge was lowered, Huang Qiong and his horses were the first to rush out. Behind him, Fan Dao and Liu Hu followed closely with the five hundred cavalrymen who followed Huang Qiong from Xiaoqi Camp to Hulao Pass. In the Hulao Pass behind them, bursts of cannons rang out, and the main force of the Xiaoqi Battalion also came out in sequence.
As soon as Huang Qiong rode out of the city, he saw from a distance King Jing, who was wearing a prince's formal attire and getting out of the sedan with the support of several personal eunuchs. Perhaps the timing was wrong, King Jing did not come up to him after he got off the sedan, but stood beside the sedan, seemingly waiting for him.
Seeing this scene, Huang Qiong hurriedly ran over. Fan Dao and his party behind him couldn't stop him, so they could only bite the bullet and follow with five hundred cavalry. At this time, the main force of the Xiaoqi battalion who had just come out of seclusion behind them had not yet had time to form their formation. The cavalry of the brigade did not even have time to leave the border.
Seeing Huang Qiong heading straight for King Jing, the Yudu commander behind him scratched his head anxiously. Looking at the King of England's Juechen back, the commander in the capital couldn't figure out what the King of England was thinking. Everyone knows that if the emperor selects the princes to lead the army to fight, it is naturally impossible for them to actually lead the army to fight.
What these princes should do more is "coordinate the strategy", and it is the deputy envoys who are more likely to lead the army and put down the rebellion. These people will not go to the real battlefield, and no one dares to let them go. These princes have grown up in the gentle countryside since they were young, and they have lived a life surrounded by red trees and green trees. The fighting on the battlefield is too far away for them.
The vast majority of people have never even seen killing a chicken, let alone killing people. But he is probably the only one who puts himself in danger again and again. If the King of England wanted to show off more in order to appear more in front of the emperor and gain more leverage for himself in the future, his performance in the past few days was enough.
As a prince, he personally took part in the danger and rushed to Hulao Pass where the situation was unknown, and captured and killed the rebellious commander-in-chief Jiang Xin in one fell swoop. With three thousand soldiers guarding Hulao Pass to protect the eastern barrier of the capital, it can be said that they have earned enough face in front of the emperor. If the King of England cares about brotherhood and wants to give King Jing a way out, he ran to this bloody battlefield and beat him to death. I wouldn't believe it.
These two people had never met before yesterday, so how could they talk about brotherhood? What's more, as far as I know, all the princes in the current dynasty wish that all their brothers except themselves would die. I'm afraid there isn't even a little bit of love between brothers. And there will be a brother who meets for the first time and risks running onto this battlefield.
Although I haven't figured out the reason, I have come across it these days. Commander Yu Du, who was somewhat familiar with the smiling tiger-like prince, also knew that there must be a reason why the prince was eager to meet Prince Jing again. At least this prince is by no means the kind of person who is aimless.
As for the exact reason, since the King of England refuses to say it, I am afraid that he will only know it afterwards. Seeing Huang Qiong getting closer and closer to King Jing's back, the commander in the capital could only helplessly shake his head. The only thing he can do now is to always pay attention to the situation ahead and be ready for the entire army to attack.
So that when the rebels do something evil, they can snatch the British king back as soon as possible. It's just that even adults don't know that there is a trace of appreciation in his shaking head. Although what he admired was not Huang Qiong's adventurous spirit, let alone his energy for adventure.
But just the fact that this prince dared to go to the battlefield side by side with the soldiers of the Knight Riding Battalion was enough to gain the true respect of him, a veteran on the battlefield. Just last night when Huang Qiong and the two women were in a quarrel, the commander of the capital had no problem with Zhao, and they talked for almost the whole night.
Commander Yudu must know and master the British King's experience at Hulao Pass. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to do business if the emperor asked him. Although he also knew that the emperor had a surveillance system like the North and South Zhenfu Division, and the military had always been a key surveillance position. This British King may not be able to hide anything he does in the Xiaoqi Camp from the Emperor.
But the problem is, if you need the prelude to be correct, you will definitely get into trouble if you don't know everything about it. So in Tsukuru's conversation last night, he didn't ask the usual detailed questions. After learning about the British king's various experiences in Hulao Pass, even a veteran who had been on the battlefield couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and feel a sense of appreciation in his heart.
