Chapter 868 Chips
The casualties of the Huahua Family Army were much more optimistic than expected. In Ye Qing's opinion, in the battle yesterday, the Huahua Family Army probably would not survive more than 1,500 people, but what he could not have imagined was that Jia She, Zhong Can and Mo Xiaobao actually gave him a huge surprise. He actually brought back nearly 3,000 soldiers. This made Ye Qing, who had begun to listen to the reports from Mo Xiaobao and the other two in the morning, was so excited that his hands trembled, and he wanted to hold the three of them and kiss them fiercely.
Ye Qing was already extremely satisfied with such casualties, but after Mo Xiaobao and the other two were resting for a night, their fatigue gradually decreased, and they still felt regret and unwilling to accept it. In their unwillingness, they always believed that in the battle yesterday, the casualties could have been controlled within 500 people, but in the end, due to the situation, the fierce battle at the last hour was the most loss.
Most of the soldiers also showed fatigue in both physical strength and willpower at the last moment, which also caused the casualties of the Hua Family Army to expand uncontrollably at that moment.
Ye Qing could understand that even the body of steel would have a node with weak willpower, and it would be impossible for the body to keep its high fighting spirit in the fierce battle.
This is also the reason why Ye Qing has been grouping the Huahua family army since the attack on Guguan. He hopes to rely on the new force at every war node and then inject a shot of augmentation agent into the Huahua family army to stimulate wave after wave of high fighting spirit and strong willpower like waves.
In the last battle yesterday, whether it was Ye Qing, Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can, or even Jia She, in the end, there was no fresh blood injected into the Huahua Family Army to squeeze the potential of the Huahua Family Army again. Therefore, at the last moment, the time of heavy casualties not only shows that the strong combat power of the Huahua Family Army is unparalleled, but also proves from the side how long the tenacity of the Huahua Family Army can last terrifyingly.
Taking yesterday's battle as an example, Ye Qing could say arrogantly that in this era, there is probably no unit in the battlefield tenacity and willpower compared with the Hua Family Army. Even Temujin's elite cavalry, if they encounter this Hua Family Army, they will only be beaten passively and have no power to fight back.
In the early morning, after changing the owner, the blue sky that I saw when I looked up seemed to be much bluer than the sky that was controlled by the Xia people yesterday. The cold air was mixed with the unique fresh smell of the morning. Even the bloody smell that filled last night seemed to be dispersed without a trace overnight.
The Huajia Army no longer has to participate in the war. From now on, they have enough rest time, and everything is now left to the army led by the Wujian to take charge.
At this time, Malu Pass became a central army tent during wartime. Scouts began to travel between Guanlong Road, Qinjiayuan Road, Changning Post and Malu Pass, and always reported to Malu Pass the current situation of Yu Yunwen, Lao Liutou, Li Heng, Tian Lin, and Li Zhongfang.
In Qin Jiayuandao's Gate of Hell, Tian Lin and Li Zhongfang finally encountered a decent Xia people's resistance. The two armies fought for several hours, but they had never been able to win the narrow Gate of Hell. Now they are still consuming each other's will in the tug-of-war of offense and defense.
Yu Yunwen is much better. After all, this place has been harvested by Ye Qing and the Hua family army. In addition, the hot Gongji is at the disadvantage of escaping. Moreover, Li Heng has a so-called cavalry unit in the field camp. Therefore, since he started chasing last night, he has been unstoppable and Laoyeling has been taken down without bloodshed. Now Fu Hanping has not been destroyed by Ye Qing at the beginning, but after a slight resistance, he was abandoned by the Xia people and continued to flee to the direction of Anrong Pass.
"Mr. Xin's letter." Wu Punishment looked at Mo Xiaobao and the others who were lazy at the door, with large and small bandages on his face, hands, legs and feet. He casually kicked Mo Xiaobao, which immediately caused Mo Xiaobao to grin and glared at him.
"Stop kicking him, kick him to the gates of hell." Ye Qing said with a smile in the room.
Judgment Wu handed the letter to Ye Qing, then looked at the door and said, "That's it. I still want to go to support Tian Lin, Li Zhongfang?"
"If one of the three of them has good legs and feet, I will send you there first. Unfortunately, there is no way, I can only rely on Tian Lin and Li Zhongfang to find a way to break the gate of hell." Ye Qing's complexion was also much better than yesterday. Although his hands and cheeks were covered with wounds of all sizes, fortunately, the rough skin made the wound look less terrifying. Even the scars on his face, because of his long-term shaving, made Ye Qing look more majestic and sharp at this time.
"The Zhao Song royal family has gathered in Jinan Prefecture now. Lord Xin wants to ask you when it will be appropriate to announce this matter to the public. He has been a little confused about whether the opportunity is right." Wu Punishment looked at Ye Qing who was reading the letter and said.
He did not answer Wu Jue's words as soon as possible. After carefully reading Xin Qiji's handwritten letter, the Zhao Song royal family had always been on the Fourth Route of the North, serving on behalf of Ye Qing and Song Ting, and was serving as a mission to appease the hearts of the people in the north.
Therefore, whether it was Ning Fu Emperor Zhao Zhu, or Wen Guogong Zhao Dong, these seven members did not follow Zhao Gou's will, and the Zhao Song royal family who were silenced by Ye Qing have become important bargaining chips for Ye Qing to fight with the court now.
The news that the seven people are still alive has never been told to the Song court openly, and it has never been announced to the world. At that time, Ye Qing was afraid that once it was announced, it would cause the court to be dissatisfied with him. But now, he hopes to announce it to the world so that the court and the people of the world know that Ye Qing’s actions in the five routes of the north were not acts of slander ministers, but with the support of the Zhao Song royal family, he avenged the Song Dynasty.
Ye Qing naturally hoped to use such political chips to make every move in the four routes of the Northland legitimate, and his master was famous, but he was just a seven-year-old man and an old lady who had been captured by the Jin people since childhood. He is now an old man and an old lady, and has been completely forgotten by the court, the royal family, and the people of the world to justify his reputation. Obviously, this weight is not enough to make the court and the people of the world believe that Ye Qing is a loyal minister and the general of the Song court.
Therefore, he had to let Zhao Shichun, Duke Chongguo in Yangzhou and Zhao Kai, King Qing, come to Jingzhaofu Road. In this way, with such a royal family coming forward to support him, no matter what he does in the Fourth Road of the North, it would seem so legitimate.
And more importantly, we can also warn the court in Lin'an, the emperor, the queen: Think carefully about how we can reconcile. If I get angry, I will support King Qing Zhao Kai in the north to be the emperor. Whoever is the pseudo-court is the orthodox court, then speak with your strength!
Of course, supporting King Qing as emperor is definitely a bad idea for Ye Qing. After all, the army of the five north routes of the north route is now fighting for the two saints to recover lost territory and avenge the shame of the two saints. If it changes course at this immature opportunity and embarks on a substantial rebellion and sets up a new path, it is very likely that the four north routes of the north routes, which are now united, will become unstable in an instant and become a mess.
"Tell him to wait for my letter and endure it for a few more days. The day of the New Year seems to be more suitable to me." Ye Qing raised his head and said with a smile.
Judicial Wu shrugged and refused to comment. He was not interested in these things. He just conveyed the letter and Xin Qiji's words to Ye Qing accurately, and then passed Ye Qing's words to Xin Qiji accurately.
"Okay, I'll go and reply to Xin Qiji in a while." Wu Zong nodded and said.
Ye Qing also nodded and said, "Pay attention to the direction of Longcheng. Today, Liu Keshi and others are probably coming back to Malu."
"I understand and will be cautious." Wu Jue smiled and then walked out.
Ye Qing sighed a long sigh. It should be no longer a problem to take Guanshan. What he is most worried about now is whether Duke Zhao Shichun and King Qing of Chongguo Zhao Kai, who are far away in Yangzhou, are willing to come to Jingzhaofu Road? Can they guess their purpose?
At Yangzhou Wharf, Bai Chun and Liang Xing and the others behind him had just walked off the boat when they saw a spacious carriage driving in front of him and stopped. Liang Xing and the few people behind him instantly protected Bai Chun. Looking at a middle-aged man with a merchant on the shaft of the car, he jumped down with a smile and saluted to Bai Chun: "Dong Chao has met Mrs. Ye."
"Dong Chao?" Bai Chun frowned slightly, and began to look at the merchant in front of him in a luxurious robe through Liang Xing's back.
"Are you Dong Chao?" Liang Xing was stunned for a moment. Many years ago, when he and Ye Qing first crossed the Huai River to work, they met Dong Chao. At that time, Dong Chao was still a sloppy bandit leader, but later this person was secretly sent by Ye Qing, and he did not have much contact with the south, and real people rarely showed up.
"Yes, I'm Dong Chao. I've met Mr. Liang." Although Dong Chao did not have the wealthy attitude that a merchant should have, he dressed in a merchant and the shrewd aura that was revealed on his body could make people mistakenly think that he was a real merchant.
Liang Xing looked at Dong Chao carefully, and could vaguely connect Dong Chao's face at this time with the sloppy and bandit-like Dong Chao at that time. When he was about to confirm with Dong Chao again, he heard Bai Chun behind him suddenly say calmly: "Get into the car and go back home first."
Hearing Bai Chun say this, Liang Xing was not even stunned for a moment, and Dong Chao also hurriedly brought Ma Deng from the back of the carriage and placed it in front of the carriage door, asking Bai Chun to get on the carriage.
The four seasons, six qi, twenty-four festivals, seventy-two chapters, which Bai Chun began to re-engineer after receiving the umbrella. She also turned the umbrella into an institution with clear distinction and stricter organization.
But she had always been accustomed to the name Ye Xian, but ignored the real name Dong Chao. So after a moment of stunnedness, she realized that Dong Chao in front of her was Su Xin's trap, Ye Xian was in the north, and Ye Xian in the four seasons.
Su Xin is naturally her Bai Chun, and it was at that time when she was in love with Lin'an, Ye Qing gave it to her. Li Heng was given the word "Zhenbei", and the most mysterious Dong Chao was named Ye Xian.
The two beautiful women who sounded completely different from the real person, who were so noble and graceful, were called the Shijie, but the shrewd merchant in front of him was given the poetic word Ye Xian.
Ye Xian and Su Xin appeared in Yangzhou at the same time, which was enough to imagine how important the umbrella was this time. Otherwise, for the umbrella, it would be a waste of strength. Similarly, it would be too important to take the umbrella into account with the person they wanted to do.
But even so, they still dare not look down on it. Even if they came to Yangzhou together, after all, because of the last relaxation, Zhao Ruyu took advantage of the loophole, everyone began to become more cautious, and they did not want such a mistake to be taken advantage of.
Of course, this time is of course of great importance, not to mention that it is also related to Ye Qing's safety, so they attached so much that they wanted to prove to Ye Qing that the umbrella was not that unbearable, and also wanted to make up for the negligence of the past in this mission.
The carriage slowly stopped outside the mansion. Before Bai Chun got off the car, he heard the cheers of children's surprises coming from the door. His heart couldn't help but twitch. During these days, Qingcheng and Qingyan had been pulling three children, and they were as worried and scared as they were every day, even... I'm afraid that my heart would be harder than myself and Zhong Qing.
When Bai Chun got out of the car, his eyes were slightly red. He looked at Ye Gucheng and Ye Wuque, who had grown taller and stronger, and then looked at the small little man in Qingyan's arms, and tears began to flow out from Bai Chun's eyes.
As Ye Qing gradually got out of the predicament, Bai Chun stood at the gate of her mansion, but she felt like she had a life of surviving a disaster. She really couldn't imagine that if Ye Qing really had an accident in the distant Xia Kingdom, then could this family... still be the home full of laughter and joy?
Bai Chun, who squatted down and listened to the screams of his mother in his ears, felt that no matter what he did, it was worth it to be back at this moment.
The tall Yan Qingcheng and Liu Qingyan's eyes were both red, and they were quietly wiping their tears. Looking at the two increasingly naughty little guys, they looked so happy after seeing their mother, and they were also happy from the heart. Of course, more importantly, the dark clouds that had originally enveloped the mansion finally gradually dispersed with the news from Xia Kingdom, and no longer gave people the feeling of the arrival of the end of the world.
Holding the hands of two happy little guys, jumping and jumping, they walked to the backyard for a while, and the two little guys took the lead in leaving Bai Chun away and then ran towards the back garden.
Bai Chun, who felt empty in an instant, just smiled, and then began to pick up Liu Qingyan's hand, the only pearl in his hand named Xiaofeng's mansion before Ye Qing went to war.
After three women took turns to hug a little woman and exchanged greetings for a few words, they began to fall into silence because of their worries. Then Liu Qingyan said, "Don't worry here, everything is fine. The building has been arranged, and Sister Qingcheng has also handed the invitation to Duke Chongguo and Prince Qing's Mansion in the name of her husband..."
"Looking at their behavior over the years, we can still see some clues. Duke Chong has been much lower-key in Yangzhou in recent days, but even so, there are cars coming and going at the door of the mansion. Most of the time, except for the prefect Xiao and others, there are more mysterious figures from Lin'an. But no matter what, the door in the back garden has been open and has never been sealed. And it has never stopped his girl from playing with those two little guys on weekdays. Now he has entered the school and has not disliked our family." Yan Qingcheng said with a hint of relief with a smile on his lips.
Bai Chun sighed softly, then his beautiful eyes were empty and said, "Lin'an Rushi, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice secretly sent someone to send a message. If there is a call, he will do his best. The queen has been silent and has never wanted to see me and Zhong Qing. As for Gushan... the Supreme Emperor always says that he is old and is useless. Obviously, he is happy to see that his husband can no longer return to Lin'an."
"What I am worried about is King Qing, who seems to be loyal and honest, but this person... he should have put pressure on the court at the beginning. If it weren't for him, his husband wouldn't have fallen to this point! Humph... This time, he has been stuck in the mansion most of the time and does not come out to meet people. Although our mansion is full of female relatives and it is not appropriate to interact with them, compared to Duke Chong, I don't think King Qing can rely on him." Yan Qingcheng was angry when he mentioned King Qing. If he had put some pressure on the court at the beginning, Zhao Ruyu would not have time. After Ye Qing left, he made small moves behind his back and framed the loyal and good-natured.
Bai Chun took Yan Qingcheng's hand to comfort and smiled, "It's not necessarily true that the things on the surface are just something that others believe, but why are you still angry with the petty family?"
Bai Chun did not tell Yan Qingcheng, Liu Qingyan, and Yang Xier, who was left in Prince Qing's palace, could have made a contribution. Otherwise, even Bai Chun would not know much about her. Prince Qing, who did not leave the door, actually stayed in the mansion every day, was frustrated with his kindness and hesitation, and caused a murder to Ye Qing.
But things still have to be counted one by one. It is one thing that King Qing felt guilty, and it is another thing that would go to Jingzhaofu Road at Ye Qing's invitation.
Even Bai Chun was unable to tell whether he could convince him. King Qing, who hesitated at the critical moment, would willingly go to Jingzhao Mansion Road with her.
"How long can you stay this time?" Yan Qingcheng asked, holding Bai Chun's hand.
"After one or two days, my husband's place should be more urgent. If I hadn't invited the royal family to Jingzhao Mansion Road this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come back." Bai Chun said with a smile. In the past year, she really missed her children in Lin'an, and she would have come back, but she could stay for three or five days each time.
But now, she cared more about Ye Qing. Although the matter was no longer so critical, she was still worried.
So after discussing with Zhong Qing, and this time he wanted to invite the royal family to Jingzhao Mansion Road, Bai Chun also fulfilled his wish and went to see if his husband was still safe, and could also write a letter to tell his sisters whether their husbands were really safe.
After all, sometimes men’s words don’t sound so credible. When they say it well, it may not be good. When they say it bad, it may not be really bad.
