Retrograde

Chapter 79 Unperfect ending

The heart of defense is indispensable, and the verbal promise does not explain anything, so even if the barbarians have been negotiated, Song Jun does not mean to relax their guard at all. At least they will not rush to retreat until the people who listen to the situation of the barbarians come back and give a clear answer from the court.

During this period, Wang Chong also discussed this matter with his powerful generals. Xu Jinghong, a teenager, was also able to participate in such an important military for the first time, which shows that Wang Chong valued his cultivation and importance.

"Do you think there is something wrong with the sudden transformation of the barbarians?" Wang Chong raised his concerns.

Among the generals, many people only knew how to lead the army to fight, and it was really difficult for them to see whether the matter was true or not, so these people's eyes stayed on several governors and Yun Lan, with a special identity, waiting for them to give an opinion.

Yun Lan was not in a hurry to give his opinion. Instead, Xiang Cang said first: "The last general thinks that this matter is not so simple, but I'm afraid it's a barbarian's delay plan! They saw that we successfully took down the Black Mountain Cliff and were worried that we would even take down the immortals, so they wanted to delay the time with peace and submission! Therefore, the opinion of the last general is that we should take the opportunity to send troops again and be sure to hit the barbarians again before they change their minds.

"How is it easy to talk about this?" For such a statement, it is naturally impossible for Wang Chong, who is deeply understanding of the situation of the Song army. What he did before was to make infighting among the barbarians, so as to profit from it, and he had no intention of continuing to rob the immortals.

And another governor Qi Zhan also disagreed with Xiang Cang's view: "The terrain governor Xiang in the area of immortal sorrow has also seen it carefully. Do you think we can successfully take it down? This Black Mountain Cliff was ventured by the brothers of the scout camp, but this method of warfare is extraordinary. How can we use it again? Therefore, the last general thought that it would be better for us to stick to it, wait for the performance of the barbarians and the reply of the imperial court.

"This is a timid move!" Xiang Cang said unhaply, "Now we are the leading party in the battle. How can we just fight because of one of the other party's thoughts? General, the last general is willing to take this life and take my Xizhou army to get the immortal sorrow!"

"Humph, I don't know who would have been tricked by barbarians on the flat ground and lose soldiers! Now when it comes to the enemy's territory, they are still so talkative in the face of absolute disadvantages!" Qi Zhan is not a bully person. Seeing that the other party said that he was afraid of war, he sneered.

"You..." Xiang Cang's painful foot was caught by the other party, and he was immediately angry. He pointed to Qi Zhan and was about to scold him, but he was stopped by Yun Lan: "Well, as the leader of the army, what is your style of speaking like this? Today, I asked you to discuss how to make the next plan, but I didn't ask you to expose each other!"

Yun Lan's status was also extremely high, so as soon as he opened his mouth, the two governors did not dare to blame each other anymore, but the two still stared and looked at each other angrily, just like two cockfights. Seeing their appearance, Wang Chong smiled helplessly. This is the shortcoming of the Southwest Song Army. Although several teams are restrained by themselves, I'm afraid it will not be possible for them to really cooperate, which will inevitably affect the combat effectiveness of the whole team.

After Yunlan stopped the two, he put forward his opinion: "I think it's better to watch this battle again. After all, after these days of hard work, the soldiers are also exhausted. If they are allowed to attack the immortals again, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to be strong. Moreover, we have also slowly grasped the situation of the immortals. The terrain there is more dangerous than the Black Mountain Cliff. Unless we can have a different strategy as before, attacking it will only increase casualties in vain.

"What's more, now the barbarians have the intention of surrendering. No matter how strong we are to send troops, it doesn't make sense for justice. Even if we win a certain amount of victory, others will say that we are poor soldiers. Therefore, in my opinion, it is better to be prepared this time. Moreover, I don't think it will take long for this time. When the people who listen to the news come back, we can know the true attitude of the barbarians. In a few days, the meaning of the court will also be conveyed, and everything will naturally come to a conclusion. Why are we in a hurry to attack the barbarians?

This view is the same as Wang Chong, so Wang Chong also nodded and said yes. In this way, other generals also knew how to choose, and they all said that they should let the team have a good rest and wait for things to become clear.

It's just a small problem for Wang Chong and others, but a big problem for those bigwigs in the court. A few days later, when they received another 600-li rush and learned that the barbarians actually obeyed, the seven people suddenly lost their mind. Everyone had no prediction of such a result at all.

Because the matter was too serious and too sudden, these bigwigs once again made an exception to meet in the court to discuss their attitude.

"What's wrong with these barbarians? They admit defeat so easily. Are they really so vulnerable?" Chu Ling was also the first to say an idea very unpleasantly: "Or is this completely a strategy of barbarians?"

"Who will use this kind of thing as a strategy? That's my submission to the Song Dynasty. If the barbarians lie, this book will be too big, right? Cui Rixun doesn't think so.

Xu Wanyou also said, "Indeed, such an open attitude and even said that they would sacrifice their kings, which is indeed not fake. I don't know what ability Wang Chong has to force the barbarians to make such a concession. It seems that our previous design can't succeed. With that, he sighed heavily, obviously very unwilling to accept such a situation.

"What you have analyzed is of no help to our decision. Don't talk about whether it is true or false. Let's talk about how we should deal with it." Ye Mingyang frowned and said.

"Well, now that Wang Chong has the attitude of a barbarian, he can retreat completely, and as long as the court agrees to his request, it proves that he has made great contributions, so I don't think I can agree to him about this!" Fang Yuanshan gave his own opinion: "I mean, let them continue to use troops against the barbarians..."

"You said it lightly. If the court really issued such an order, what would the world and its successors think of us? Wang Chong has become a hero regardless of success or failure, and we are exactly the opposite. No matter whether it is success or failure, we will bear a bad reputation! Have you measured the gains and losses of this? Wu Jingzi stared at Fang Yuanshan with dissatisfaction: "I think it's better to take this step back now. Even if Wang Chong has made contributions, he still can't threaten you and me for the time being. We also have many opportunities to deal with him again."

In this regard, Xu Wanyou firmly stood on his brother-in-law's side and immediately said, "But in this way, the military power in the southwest is all in Wang Chong's hands. Once his momentum becomes bigger, it will be very unfavorable to us. I thought we should still do something, at least we can't let him take up all the benefits!"

The other Chu and Cui also had their own opinions. In the end, everyone turned their eyes on Ye Mingyang and Lv Zhonghe, waiting for the two highest-ranking people to make the final decision.

After sighing, Lv Zhonghe said first, "Let Ye Situ make the decision. I won't interfere." As a contradictory person, he had to avoid many things, which was enough to see the prime minister's pain.

After a long period of meditation, Ye Mingyang gave his own opinion: "It's safe to approve the invitation of the barbarians. However, we won't admit it until we see Mu Jerry arrive! In addition, since the Black Mountain Cliff has been captured by the Southwest Army, it should not be returned. Let him send a man to guard there. The barbarians have become my vassals of the Song Dynasty, and it is also appropriate for us to send people all the way to guard there. I don't know what you think?"

Everyone had no better idea for a while, so they passed Ye Mingyang's opinion and began to write to the emperor. After going through this process, the court could make a clear announcement to the world!

Xu Wanyou solved a problem, but two people in the family are still haunted by the problem. Naturally, the two were Fang and Xu Wanquan. This time, Xu Wanquan did not hide the matter of Xu Jinghong and told her that he was about to be appointed to Beijing.

After hearing the news, Fang was really angry and even smashed several beloved pieces of porcelain. Finally, her eyes were full of murder and said, "What do you think we should do now? If he really returns to the capital, my children and I will be in trouble! He is a wild seed who can be so important to the imperial court. On the contrary, several legitimate sons of our Ye family, but only Yinger works in the capital, and Xiong'er can only be outside. What is this?

Seeing the woman saying these useless words hysterically and venting her dissatisfaction, Xu Wanquan could only smile bitterly. It was not until Fang calmed down a little that he said, "I know what you are thinking, but now I can't help you except him."

"Why? Didn't you swear that you would help me before? Fang's eyebrows immediately stood up.

"The old man has already said that we have to embarrass him... I don't know what the old man thinks that he value such a concubine's grandson so much..." Xu Wanquan is also unwilling: "For this reason, he has given strict orders to our brothers. As long as we know what we have done, it will be Deal with it according to family rules!"

"Hmm, family rules! You know what family rules you are afraid of now. Why weren't you afraid when you came to me? Fang laughed, but then gave up. She knows very well that Xu Wanquan is only in an idle position now. Although she can hire any killer assassins, it is really difficult to do it once the old man really wants to beware.

"Actually, I still have a suggestion, but you may not agree." Xu Wanquan said again.

"Come and listen."

"Xu Jinghong's coming out of the army is not necessarily a good thing for us. After all, in this way, he will be less dependent. Moreover, when I come from the southwest, there is a Lingzhou city in the middle, and your family has a lot of power in Lingzhou. As long as you can persuade the owner of the Yuanshan family to give this order, I don't think it's difficult to get rid of Xu Jinghong!"

Hearing this, Fang's eyes really flashed a strange light, and he was obviously moved by his words: "Then I will try to convince my eldest brother that he loves me and Jie'er the most, and he will definitely help us."

Seeing that the other party was guided by himself to involve the problem of the Fang family, Xu Wanquan was very sure that he knew that he did not have to come forward by himself this time, and Xu Jinghong's disaster should be able to be removed!

When the intention of the court was delivered, the Southwest Song army battalion had already welcomed the previous group of court rewards. Tens of thousands of cattle and sheep and other meat, and countless gold and silver rewards have been piled up to fill the warehouse. At the same time, the generous rewards given by the court are also inspiring--

Wang Chong, as the commander of the three armies, was awarded the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan, * army, and was also given a python suit. Other generals were also promoted, and each of them was rewarded with silver from bandits. In addition, Wang Junqing was in the ward camp, because they were the main force to seize the Black Mountain Cliff, and they were awarded the first ward camp of the Song Dynasty. Everyone was given a war knife symbolizing honor, and the gold and silver were not need to say.

The celebration of the camp lasted for several days, and he originally wanted to urge them to march as soon as possible. After hearing that the barbarians intended to surrender, and Wang Chong had reported the matter to the court, he calmed down. In this way, the days of Song Jun, who stay in the barbarians, are even better now. Every day, there is no need to fight with the enemy. On such days, everyone only wants to go on forever.

But such an idea must be unrealistic. A few days later, a new order from the imperial court was issued. After reading the meaning of the court, Wang Chong also smiled happily. He knew that he had succeeded more than half this time.

However, there are still some unsatisfactory aspects, such as the failure to really divide the barbarians, such as Xu Jinghong's promotion.

The news from the barbarians soon came back. Although as Wang Chong expected, the barbarians really had internal conflicts because of their alienation, the result was not as perfect as he thought. The barbarians actually completed a thorough transformation in a short period of time. Mu Jerry fell, and the Mu family forces he controlled were also swallowed up by others. They were replaced by the emerging Duan family.

In this way, barbarians are likely to develop again after a period of rest and recuperation, and the threat to the Song border will still be small. Although they have made a gesture of submission and even sent Mu Jerry here before Song Jun said something, this has not dispelled Wang Chong's concerns, because non-our people must have different hearts, and it is repeatedly affirmed.

However, Wang Chong was not worried that they would make more noise. When the Song army retreated, he would still send people to guard the Black Mountain Cliff. In this way, the barbarians would have some changes. I'm afraid it is impossible to suddenly appear in the territory of the State of Song. On the contrary, the Song army can be a springboard for the barbarians. Attack.

And what makes Wang Chong feel more uneasy is the latter thing about Xu Jinghong's promotion. He made such a contribution that the court did not mention his promotion in the order at all, which made Wang Chong and some other generals unable to understand. After asking, the result made them even more surprised that Xu Jinghong was going to be transferred back to the capital.

In fact, it is a good thing that a border general can be transferred back to the capital, symbolizing that his future will be bright, but because Xu Jinghong's transfer order can only be transferred, but there is no appointment for any position, which makes the generals a little confused. But since this was the intention of the court, Wang Chong did not dare to obey, so he had to call Xu Jinghong to him and persuade him.

"Although men make contributions in the army, you will only have more opportunities to go to the capital than here, so I won't keep you. And I can see that you also yearn for going to the capital, right?

Xu Jinghong smiled, but it was not a happy smile: "The general should know my origin and return to the capital as an ordinary person. There is an explanation in front of my mother's tomb, which is the result of my long-awaited."

"No, that's more than what you think!" Wang Chong saw through Xu Jinghong's mind at a glance: "I'm only worried that you have gone to the capital, something too big, and then you will hurt yourself..."

"Don't worry, general, I'm not a reckless man who knows how to weigh the pros and cons." Xu Jinghong did not guarantee that he would not have an accident in the capital, which also showed his attitude.

Wang Chong laughed: "It seems that someone has seen this point this time that will let you go to the capital. But before that, I have one thing to remind you..."

"Mshal, please speak, humble and listen to me."

"You like to win with wonders, but the fact is that you still need to fight with regular soldiers. This is the most reasonable saying in the military book, but it is also ordinary in other things. I hope you can understand the truth.

After Xu Jinghong was silent for a moment, he nodded deeply: "I have been taught. I will change my behavior in the future."

"It's also unpredictable to go to the capital. You can take some brothers with you. Fortunately, it will help you in some things. I have let Junqing arrange it in the camp, and I'm sure I won't let you down.

"Marshal..." Xu Jinghong was also very moved to see that the other party arranged for himself like this.

"Okay, get ready and take someone on the road! The capital is waiting for you, and a bigger battle is waiting for you!"

After taking a deep breath and suddenly knelt down and making a solemn salute to Wang, Xu Jinghong turned around and withdrew from the big account.

Yun Lan came out from behind the screen at this time: "This teenager is so similar to him. Do you think that relying on him can really change the power of the court?"

Wang Chong smiled indifferently, but said confidently, "This son has extraordinary skills, and someone in the court needs him to go to the capital to make a scene, so it's okay for him to have a try. As for the person you mentioned, maybe this is also the meaning of heaven. After 30 years, everything should indeed change..."

@@@

Just like the chapter name of this chapter, the end of this volume is not perfect, because some problems are only gently clicked, and those who originally wanted to write to 80 can only stay on these 79 chapters.

However, Xiao Xu has also stayed in the southwest army for long enough. He really needs to leave the fetters here and go further. In addition, due to the limitations of the previous environment of mines and barracks, there have been no women who can mingle with Xiao Xu. Now it is time to let her appear when they leave the barracks, although they have not figured out how passers-by will appear. However, after more than 100 chapters, the heroine's name does not appear, and it is indeed a little unreasonable. After all, passers-by are not astomo, so it should be changed.

Finally, the following plot will be very different from that in the barracks, and passers-by will present more wonderful stories. Please support me and ask for everything!!!!

At the end of this volume, please see the third volume - Dragon Yinhu Xiaodou Jinghua
