Chapter 210: Raw Rice

Seeing that Zha Dayuan showed his strength, Wei Yubi also ordered the city gate to be opened and led the remaining four thousand Qingqi in the city to kill them.

Wei Yubi and the cavalry behind him rushed towards the Liugui Kingdom army with red eyes and special maces raised.

In view of the strong physical characteristics of Liugui Kingdom, Duga made a mace. The top of this mace is shaped like a hammer head, but some sharp blades are deliberately cast on it. The body of the mace is also upside down.

There are many needle-like iron thorns inserted in it to prevent the ghosts from seizing the weapons.

Four thousand Qingqi wielded their maces and beat them all the way. Blood splattered everywhere they went. Not many Liugui soldiers were killed on the spot. Most of them had holes in their bodies and faces and were bleeding profusely.

The heavy cavalry and heavy shield soldiers of the Drifting Ghost Kingdom gradually stabilized their position under the leadership of the cavalry commander Taliruric. Taliruric waved his scimitar and was about to attack the Qianyu Army.

At this time, Zhada Yuanxian had cut off the heads of Tali Sujin and several other Liugui generals, hung them on long poles, and began to retreat.

Separated between Taliliurik and Zada ​​Yuanxian were tens of thousands of defeated soldiers and slaves. When the slaves saw that the soldiers who usually beat, scolded and tortured them were being slaughtered like pigs and sheep, they suddenly had the courage to resist.

The slaves picked up weapons nearby or simply pounced on them to bite them. The morale of the defeated soldiers of the Ghost Country collapsed completely, and they all ran towards the heavy shield soldiers and heavy cavalry behind them. Countless slaves were chasing behind them, and even Taliryurik was shocked.

.

This scene is like a flock of sheep chasing a pack of wolves, with naked people chasing heavily armed people. Under the reflection of the sunset, it makes people feel that all this is a fantasy.

"Kill! Kill everyone who blocks our attack!" This is Taliriurik's order.

The Liugui people were so ferocious that they even killed their own people. The heavy cavalry cleared the way and cut down the fleeing soldiers, and the heavy shield soldiers marched together to block the broken army that was divided into many thin streams.

Zhada Yuanxian, who was retreating, met Wei Yubi and others who were angry. "Stop, Mr. Wei, you take the enemy general's head to Xiangguo to show the emperor to move reinforcements. I will hold on here!"

"Aren't you going to avenge Lao Du? Our army's morale is now strong. If we don't take advantage of this moment to defeat the thieves, how long will it take?" Wei Yubi felt unwilling to do so.

"Avenge Master Du and his brothers!"

"General, we can defeat the enemy with one more charge!"

The soldiers brought out by Wei Yubi were even more unwilling and looked at Zada ​​Yuanxian eagerly.

"There are real generals in the enemy camp. They are calm at every turn and will not panic when encountering danger. Their heavy cavalry and heavy shield soldiers are coming and we cannot stop them with our flesh and blood. We can only hold on by the city! Mr. Wei, take a thousand people back to Xiang."

Come on, they can't catch up! Only if the reinforcements come faster, can we hope to win this battle!" Zada ​​Yuanxian said as he asked his subordinates to send the enemy general's head over.

Looking at the bloody heads, Wei Yubi quickly calmed down. General strategy was not his specialty. Now that he could bring the heads of enemy generals back to Xiang Kingdom, what was there to fight for?

"Then my brothers and I have thanked the general. I will definitely bring back the reinforcements as soon as possible!" Wei Yubi turned around and rode away. More than a thousand people ran south and disappeared into the sunset.

Zha Dayuanxian and the remaining people immediately returned to Heren City, closed the city gate tightly again and moved up rolling logs and stones.

By the time Taliryurik led his men to rush to the city gate, the city was already heavily guarded. If they tried to attack the city by force, there would be no slaves who would die, so they had to leave bitterly.

After Wei Yubi returned to Xiangguo, he thought that he would be treated politely if he brought the enemy general's head, at least

They were also welcomed along the streets. As a result, except for a few officials who came to prevent the army from entering the city, no one else came to greet them.

"We blocked the attack of the Liugui people and prevented them from rushing into Hebei to burn, kill and plunder. Why are you all acting like nothing? Are these meritorious soldiers not allowed to enter the city?" Wei Yubi was very dissatisfied.

"You, a border governor, just show off a few heads and claim that you have made great achievements. Do you think that all the civil and military officials in the court are fools? Who knows whether you killed good people and took credit for it? Are you falsely claiming military exploits? You people,

The imperial court should investigate strictly!" The man who claimed to be the meritorious official of the Prime Minister's Office spoke rudely, while the other people also had expressionless faces.

"Why do you speak like this, Your Excellency? I have narrowly escaped death and lost many brothers, but here I have lost all my hard work? I want to meet the Emperor and tell you the truth. You will not be allowed to slander me wantonly!" Wei Yubi's eyes turned red.

The soldiers around him stared angrily and held down the hilts of their swords.

"Haha, you want to rebel? Scare me? Meet the emperor? Are you worthy of a mere border prefect? ​​Wait outside the city! Wait for the imperial court to surrender!" The meritorious officer still responded to Wei Yubi rudely, and then walked away.

!

"Stop! See if this thing is worthy!" Wei Yubi took out a token from his arms, which was the wolf head token that Zhada Yuanxian gave him.

As soon as Gong Cao turned around and saw the token, he immediately knelt on the ground and said nothing. Several people around him also knelt down and asked quietly, "Sir, why do you kneel on this token?"

Gong Cao whispered back, "This is the wolf head token given by the emperor. Seeing this token is like meeting the emperor!"

Wei Yubi did not ask him to get up, but took the token and went straight to the city gate to see the city gate official. The city gate official almost fell down when he was carried over, but he bowed his head and bowed.

After seeing the wolf head token, Wei Yubi led a thousand men and horses slowly into Xiangguo City.

They had just entered the city and had not walked half a mile when suddenly many people and horses came over and surrounded the thousands of people.

Wei Yubi held up the Wolf Head Order, "I have the Wolf Head Order from the Emperor! You can enter and exit the capital at will, and you are not allowed to stop me!"

"Wei Yubi, are you fooling yourself by blowing wind at the border? Take the token and lead the troops into Beijing! What do you want to do? Is this what you can do?" A person in front shouted angrily.

Wei Yubi Dingqing took a look and saw that it was Wang Huizhi who was ordered by the minister. He quickly dismounted and paid homage. "Student Wei Yubi has seen the teacher. The student swears allegiance to the emperor. Please pay attention to the teacher!"

Wang Huizhi touched his beard, "You are confused! The tokens and privileges awarded by the emperor are a kind of honor, and they do not allow you to enter and leave the capital at will! Why don't you quickly let these border troops leave the city and wait? Do you really want the imperial court?

Can we destroy them?"

"The students are stupid and have brought trouble to the teacher. Everyone, please go out of the city to camp and wait for the court's orders!"

One thousand cavalry had to change from the front to the rear and quickly left the city, leaving only Wei Yubi to follow Wang Huizhi to meet Emperor Pajaqili.

Along the way, Wei Yubi talked to Wang Huizhi about the war with Rencheng and the tragic death of Du Jia.

Wang Huizhi asked him coldly, "Do you want Dujia to be stigmatized after his death?"

"Teacher, where do you start with this? Dujia pretended to surrender and died for his country. Thousands of soldiers can testify to this! Without Dujia sacrificing his life for righteousness, Heren City would have been lost long ago."

"That's enough! Do you think this is still Heren City? What will the emperor and ministers think once they are involved in this plot of surrendering the enemy? What's the use of your so-called thousands of people testifying? If you want to let Dujia's family

People still have a way to survive. All they can say is that they

He died in battle! The fact of false surrender will always be rotten in his stomach!" Wang Huizhi deeply doubted whether he had a fever when he recommended this stupid student.

"Follow the teacher's instructions! What about the enemy general's head reporting for merit?" Wei Yubi was afraid that he would make another mistake, so he continued to ask Wang Huizhi.

"First, I must report my merits to General Pajiazhong. He has planned and planned things well! Then comes Prime Minister Lu Yin, Minister of the Fifth Army Zhao Di, and Minister of Duzhi Li Kuang. Finally, you guys!"

"This, none of these people participated, not a single soldier was sent, not a grain of rice was sent! This" Wei Yubi looked confused.

Wang Huizhi quickly interrupted him, "Pedantic! If you don't repay them for your merits, how can you help the reinforcements when you come back? Do you think everyone doesn't know what you are doing when you come back?"

Wei Yubi couldn't laugh or cry, "Okay, everything is as instructed by the teacher. I just want to bring the reinforcements to Herencheng as soon as possible!"

"Remember not to exaggerate the enemy's situation to scare Your Majesty, otherwise there will be no reinforcements!" Wang Huizhi continued to remind Wei Yubi.

Before Wei Yubi could answer, Wang Huizhi spoke again, "When you came back this time, you didn't prepare any gifts for the important officials of the imperial court. The more you do, the less capable you are of being an official. You have to teach me basic human skills!"

Wei Yubi could only nod in agreement and took out the wolf head token from his body, "Teacher, this is the most valuable thing a student has! If you don't mind it, teacher"

"We don't want these false gifts between you and me. I'm also surprised that after three years of being a prefect of a city, someone else would be worth a whole truckload of gold and silver, but if you were a prefect for three years, you'd be worse than a scribe under them! You're like this

You can't survive!" Wang Huizhi hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.

Wei Yubi smiled awkwardly, "The place where the students live is too poor, and the students can't bear it. In the future, they will go to a wealthy place to serve as officials, and then find ways to make a fortune."

"This is all your own business. Don't talk about it anymore. When you meet the emperor, kowtow more and talk less. Just have a teacher with you!"

When he entered the palace and met Pajaqili, Wei Yubi only said that everyone in the court had made great contributions by strategizing, stocking up on grain, grass, horses, and making plans, etc., and then talked about the matter of bringing in reinforcements.

Everyone in the court analyzed the battle and concluded that it was the emperor's sage and the civil and military officials who all worked hard to repel the enemy.

Regarding reinforcements and Rencheng, only Wang Huizhi briefly mentioned it. No one opposed or supported it, as if it had nothing to do with them.

In the court hall of the Yu State, no one cared about the safety of soldiers at the border while discussing merit and rewards. The South China Sea Navy fell into the trap again and was one step behind.

The Wei army on Zheli Ridge withdrew, and the people from the Death Soldier Battalion reported that Li Xiaofei slapped his head, "You fell into the trap. Why did you beat drums and light fires and shout to kill for two days in a row? It turned out that you were trying to escape, you are cunning!"

"This An Siqing is not very good at fighting, but he is very good at escaping!" Chen Jingyi was quite disdainful.

"No, An Siqing is a formidable opponent. If their food and grass were not as good as ours, they might not retreat easily! They are not escaping, but withdrawing!" Li Xiaofei corrected.

"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and catch up with them!" Chen Jingyi was a little anxious.

"The natural stone bridge on the ridge was broken by the Wei army, and the surrounding trees were burned by them. I'm afraid it won't be possible to cross for a while!" Cai Guishan told Chen Jingyi that he could no longer catch up.

"The bridge is broken, so we can't just wait. We have to find a way to cross the bridge. We have to cross the bridge!" Chen Jingyi rubbed his hands.
