1345 The Right Time to Kill the Thief
In fact, Shi Shegui did not attach much importance to the merits or not, or he had passed the stage of pursuing merits. Even if he could protect Xiangguo City intact, the actual rewards he could get were actually very limited. After all, he was a founder of the country and an elder of the Jie tribe, and his grand title was also noble, so it was difficult to add them.
As for the Lord Shi Hu's fear of these elders, he would not change because of the battle in Xiangguo. The reason why Shi Shegui and others had to do their best to do this is more than just seeking nothing wrong.
But this does not mean that they have no chance at all. Ordinary merits are naturally just optional embellishments for these veterans, but if they support them, they will not be able to do so!
Shi Shegui also thought it clear now that he had been encouraged by Boling Gong Shi Zun to kill Wang Lang, but in fact he was throwing the blame on Wang Lang, the leading general who commanded the imperial guards. Because there was no evidence of death, the lord pursued the matter afterwards, and the guilt that Prince Shi Sui had to bear could be minimized.
After understanding this, Shi Shegui had to sigh that the youngest son of Princess Boling was not simple. Even at that time he was just happy that he had gained authority again, and did not think deeply about this level.
But now I think about it again that even if Wang Lang's death could share a considerable part of the responsibility for the prince, the chaos in Xiangguo was too serious, and the prince had been thinking for a long time, and after this, it was almost impossible for him to be able to maintain his successor.
Boling Gong's agility and respect both left a very good impression on Shi Shegui, and he knew that if he wanted to turn over completely, he had to make achievements in the future competition for the throne of the stockholder.
Although Shi Shegui did not think that Boling Gong had too much chance, after all, there was a predecessor of the prince, and the lord was still not allowed to take his anger at the youngest son who was born with the prince's mother, and it was unlikely that Boling Gong would be established in the order.
But Shi Shegui didn't have many choices. The other heroic sons of the Lord have been in their own way for a long time. Even if an old man like him takes the initiative to ask for help, the other party may not accept it, and the Lord may not be happy to see him.
With this time of defending the city and conquering chaos, they have already made such a line with Boling Duke. If they can make a little beauty for Boling Duke, it is possible to protect Boling Duke from the prince's involvement. Even if the throne is hopeless, Boling Duke will be able to be favored. Because this performance is acceptable, they may be able to get real external use. As for them, they can become Boling Duke's direct confidants and form a new force with the flow.
The nobles of Jie Kingdom were all cunning and vicious. After hearing what Shi Shegui said, they realized it after a little reminiscing, so they nodded and agreed with this. Although they had different difficulties, they were not opposed to being able to reach a tacit understanding and friendship with a prince.
However, these are things that need to be considered later. The Xiangguo crisis has not yet ended completely.
As the sky got darker, Shi Shegui looked at the night under the palace city again and pondered: "It seems that the thieves under the city are not the same as the enemy in the palace before, otherwise the enemy would not have gone so lightly. So tonight, please fight with each other, first breaking the rioters outside the palace, and then leading their troops out of the city to annihilate the enemy in the field. Although the capital city is inevitable this time, we can bravely set chaos and recover the losses, which can also be said to be free from the country's kindness."
After hearing this, everyone nodded with a smile. Although they had not worked together for a long time, Shi Shegui made a judgment based on his experienced experience and vision. In addition, this old man had long been honored and made great achievements earlier, and soon he gained prestige.
"The bandits are just a small disturbance. Although there are not many people in the Jin army along the way, they should not be underestimated. They originally planned to eliminate the bandits at night. Since the Jin army has evacuated the palace garden, they can attack the bandits now. They can quickly settle the chaos and have a little rest in the middle of the night. They can wait until dawn to pursue the enemy immediately!"
When everyone heard Shi Shegui say this, they all stood up to ask for battle. They were all in their hearts and were in a hurry to vent their evil fire. Moreover, after confrontation during this period, they also knew the details of the rioters outside the city. In addition to some strong soldiers hiding in it, their overall strength was actually careless, and even if they attacked at night, the danger was not too great.
With the support of each family, Shi Shegui was even more happy. He was also the old man who talked about the young man and said, "Everyone is eager to fight, and the morale of the army is available, so let the gang fight together to let these soldiers know what the consequences of the chaos in the country!"
When everyone heard this, they all agreed, and then they all returned to the army to reorganize the soldiers, ready to kill them.
The night became darker, and Xiangguo City, which had been chaotic for a night and during the day, finally returned to a few silence. Although all the people in the palace were ready to fight, they naturally would not make noises without experience, which would make the chaotic people outside the city alert.
This is the difference between having experience and not having experience, especially in some details. It is difficult to take into account such meticulousness without having experienced real craftsmanship and training.
While the various armies were preparing for war, Shi Shegui did not forget to send several groups of scouts to follow and watch the movements of the Jin army. Although the Jin army was too fierce to kill the scouts, they did not dare to get too close, but the huge team of hundreds of cars and thousands of palace people accompanied by them had no way to hide it at night and were heading towards the southwest suburbs of Xiangguo City.
Half an hour later, the private soldiers of various departments in the palace were ready to be decorated. With the sound of a powerful drum, the fire suddenly shone brightly at the top of Jiande Palace. Many thick fire pillars formed a hideous and majestic fire dragon, which instantly shone the area below the palace like daytime!
At the same time, the Jiande Palace responded to the palace gate, and the side doors were all open, revealing the private armies that had already been arranged in an array and had ferocious equipment. After each armies, Shi Shegui felt a little old and dry voice, "Raising fire to kill people, life is great joy! If you cannot quickly defeat the thieves, you will never return!"
Although he was cold for a long time, Shi She had been in charge of the army in the old year, and such wars to attack and kill the rioters did not make him so excited. But the reason why he deliberately showed such heroism was that his scheduled young master, Boling Gong Shi Zun, was also on the spot. Shi Zun specially sent someone to invite him, and wanted to take this to show Shi Zun his old and strong heroism.
"Your Highness, please wait for a moment. The soldiers attack, and they will carry the thieves' heads to triumph!"
When the troops were dispatched according to the order, Shi Shegui walked towards Shi Zun with a smile again.
Shi Zun's face was also unsatisfied. Before that, he was not outstanding among the brothers, especially the existence of the eldest brother of the prince Shi Sui, who completely covered up his behavior. Even the Lord Shi Hu always ignored this young son. In this case, Shi Zun naturally had a rare opportunity to supervise the formation and watch the battle.
"It's a pity that there is no moon on this night, otherwise we will be able to see the mighty power of our heroes and defeat the thieves!"
Shi Zun looked up at the dark sky with some regret. Even if he was more scheming, he could not help but be young. He had been looking forward to this kind of experience for a long time. Unfortunately, his evil brother in the family also made him dare not show himself too much in order to ask the master to give him a gift.
With such a big fanfare outside Jiande Palace, the chaotic people who had retreated to the vicinity of Xiangshui were naturally disturbed. Although the night was shrouded in the sky, the campfires could also be seen swaying and the noises were chaotic, which showed that they were extremely frightened.
Since the horse camp in the west of the city was destroyed by the Jin army and there was no sufficient horse preparation in the palace garden, most of the soldiers fought in this battle. But even so, they were still very imposing at this moment. The distance from Jiande Palace to the banks of the Xiangshui River was soon halfway.
The forward Sharp can already see the panic of the opposite camp with the fire, so naturally the chances of winning are more certain. They laugh out loud, sweeping away the depressed aura of being surrounded and attacked during the day.
However, at this moment, a sudden strong wind in the west of Xiangshui River suddenly rose. To be precise, the knights rushed sharply, wrapped in strong winds, and stood against the Xiangshui River, like a sharp blade, directly stabbing towards the Jie Kingdom army formation not far from Xiangshui River.
"The king's army, Fenwu, Shen Yun, is here, who can harm my robes!"
Shen Yun, who had returned, was the first to be the first. Before the people arrived, the sound had already reached its original voice. The faster than the sound was a bundle of spears hanging on his saddle. Two of the short spears had already escaped, flying arrows penetrated the sky, and at the same time, two Jie army soldiers who were still running south!
The Fenwu Knights behind him also attacked according to the law. Their spears were rushed to make up for the lack of arrows and cut bamboo as the edge. In order to increase the weight, heavy objects of gold and jade were stuffed inside, and they shot out in this way, and they quickly shot them!
"Why is it the Jin army?"
"The Jin army is back!"
The Jie army, which was originally as powerful as a rainbow, was suddenly interrupted by variables, and most people felt at a loss. You should know that the opponent they were attacking on this trip was the chaotic people on the other side of the Xiangshui River, but they did not expect that the Jin army, which had already evacuated in the intelligence, would return again!
Not only did the Jie army not expect, even Shen Yun himself did not expect that if he had not captured the tongues of the Jie army scouts, he would have no idea that Xu Wubing and others had actually created such momentum in Xiangguo City. If he had known it one step ahead, he would not have evacuated so easily. After all, nearly half of the palace in Jieguo had not been dismantled and ruined.
Afterwards, Shen Yun ordered the other Fenwu soldiers to continue to escort the cargo team at night. He led two hundred Fenwu troops to rush back to Xiangguo City again, speeding all the way, and even surpassing the scouts who were seeking foreign recruits from Jie army to arrive on the battlefield.
Although there were not many people returning to the Fenwu Army, they were defeated by surprise. Moreover, the light cavalry rushed to kill the private army of the Jie Kingdom, which could not be unified in these orders, and all of them were invincible. As for the Jie army that had not yet suffered the impact, they were panicked at this moment, and they all fled to Jiande Palace, which had not yet closed the palace gate.
As for what Shi Shegui said before leaving, he could not defeat the enemy and could not return, that was just a nonsense. The old guy didn't go to fight himself, so he didn't feel hurt when he stood up and said without a back pain.
Fenwu's two hundred light cavalry rushed back and forth along the Xiangshui River several times. At this moment, even if there were Jie soldiers outside Jiande Palace, they were unable to form a formation and were trying their best to escape to all fields.
"Is Xu Wubing still there? Immediately lead my troops to join the army and follow me to kill the thief!"
Hearing the shouts of the commander sinking to the other side of the shore, the soldier Xu Wubing, who had already made the worst plan, finally relaxed in a tense breath. He was very worried that the previous good situation would be missed in vain due to the poor communication.
He climbed to the viewing platform where Wang Lang, the leader of Jie Kingdom, watched the situation in the south of the city, looked down and shouted loudly: "The reinforcements have arrived, but how dare the Hebei people pursue the battle?"
