Chapter 497: Wang Fangyi's Face
In the military garrison near the city tower, Xue Shao was wearing a large horse and a golden horse sitting in a commanding position that was flying the flag. Sixteen red-clothed executioners stood beside him, with a team of thousands of guards wearing bright light armor and five-color robes. The Modao hand arrangement was shaped like iron walls on both sides, forming a long and bright passage. This article was first published by...
The torch was so powerful that Xue Shao set up such a large formation of swords and weapons, waiting for Xue Chuyu to approach.
Xue Chuyu swung Duan Feng with one arm and rode his horse to the sword and weapon formation. The four young soldiers stepped forward to catch the prisoners and tied them up.
Duan Feng was already in a state of shame and anger, and he never said a word or made any struggle.
Xue Chuyu brought the captives to Xue Shao to give orders. The two of them gave each other a knowing look, and they were both smiling.
But Xue Shao had a hard face and pointed at the captain Duan Feng at the steps and shouted, "You white bandit rebel, you dare to confuse the party bandits and provoke the royal army to counterattack the city. You are really tired of living!"
"Cut" Xue Shao's guards and executioners shouted in unison!
"Young Marshal, you misunderstood..." Xue Chuyu hurried forward and said carefully, "This person is not a white bandit, he is... the vanguard officer under the command of Wang Fangyi, the governor of Xiazhou, Duan Feng and Duan Duan."
"Ah?" Xue Shao was shocked, "Then why are you catching him?"
"Subordinate..." Xue Chuyu quickly clasped his fists, "Subordinate deserves to die!"
"It's outrageous, don't retreat!" Xue Shao slapped the table, "Since he is a colleague of a friendly army, don't you release the ties quickly!"
Xue Chuyu held back his laughter and retreated. The left and right soldiers hurried forward and loosened Duan Feng.
Xue Shao quickly walked to Duan Feng and looked him up and down. He was over 40 years old and had a beard on his face. He was tall and very strong. When he saw him, Xue Shao couldn't help but think of Niu Ben, who was far away in Chang'an. Their figures were really comparable.
But at the moment, Duan Feng, a fierce man who was as powerful as a tiger and lion, shrugged his shoulders and lowered his head, and his face drooped, his eyes rolling around. He didn't dare to face Xue Shao at all, and he was obviously ashamed.
"General Duan, since you are the vanguard under the command of Governor Wang, how could you fight with the deputy general Xue Chuyu of the general?" Xue Shaohe said angrily, "Did Xue Chuyu deliberately cause trouble and provoke you and use conspiracy to plot against you? If so, you will tell me that the general will definitely kill that guy with the military law!"
"No, no... Actually, it's the last general... rude and provocative!" Duan Feng wished he could dig a hole on the spot and crawl in. After stammering, Duan Feng knelt on one knee and clasped his fists, "The last general was rude, offended the young marshal and ran into General Xue, and he was willing to ask the young marshal to use military law to severely punish the last general!"
"I understand. You probably think we are Bai Tieyu's rebels, and Xue Chuyu also thinks you are Bai bandits, so they started fighting. They are all misunderstandings, get up, get up!" Xue Shao smiled, stretched out his hands to support Duan Feng, and said, "Where is the Governor Wang himself?"
Seeing Xue Shao taking the initiative to give a step and quickly change the topic, Duan Feng felt ashamed and grateful, and quickly said respectfully: "Report to the Young Marshal, after receiving the imperial court's order, the Governor Wang led 20,000 cavalry overnight. The light troops went into battle day and night, and now he has arrived in Suizhou. Now he is stationed ten miles west of Chengping County. The last general has followed the order of the Governor Wang and served as the vanguard to spy on the enemy's situation. Unexpectedly, he learned that the Governor Xue had already taken the city!... The last general admired him, the last general was ashamed!"
"So, Governor Wang is already outside the city?" Xue Shao made a surprise statement, "Then I have to go and greet him in person. Let's go and prepare for the ceremonial guard to follow me out of the city!"
"No, Young Marshal, please wait!" Duan Feng quickly stopped Xue Shao and said in a low voice with a shame, "Young Marshal, you are the head coach. Governor Wang and us are both subordinate officers. It is better to be Governor Wang bring us into the city to worship the Young Marshal. Please sit in the city and report to Governor Wang now."
"Isn't this good?" Xue Shao blinked his eyes with a puzzled look, "Governor Wang has traveled thousands of miles to help the war, so I should go out to welcome him!"
"There are superiors and subordinates in the army, please do not refuse." Duan Feng bowed again, "The General of the Mo is extremely ashamed and is willing to ask the General of the Mo to give him a horse and let him go back to report!"
"Hurry up, bring my Via Dragon!" Xue Shao shouted, "Xue Chuyu, you are too rude! You must make a good wine to apologize to General Duan!"
"Subordinate to obey the order." Xue Chuyu agreed with his fists.
"No, no, no, no, no! The general dared not!" Duan Feng was about to cry, and he refused to get up on the ground. "The young general dared not use the young general. I would like to ask the young general... to give it a limp horse, and just give it!"
Xue Shao laughed, "Why should General Duan be so distant? Please get up quickly - Xue Chuyu, go and pick a horse for General Duan and send him out of the city."
"yes!"
Duan Feng rode a six-in-one horse like a frost-beaten eggplant, and walked out of the county town with Xue Chuyu.
The military camps in Chengping County were already full of laughter, and the soldiers were all proud and very happy.
Duan Feng and others were right. The military camp was indeed the territory of tough guys and pure men. Whoever has the best ability and the strong fist will have the right to speak!
Xue Shao made his subordinates laugh for a while and shouted, "Everyone should calm down. The prince's governor will come later, and there is no need to be a smug look. Otherwise, they will all take a whip!"
"yes!"
The soldiers agreed.
Xue Shao issued another order: "I will go out of the city to greet you in person."
"Young Marshal, don't you?" The guard beside him whispered, "You are the head coach, and Wang Fangyi is the deputy coach. There is no need to welcome you outside the city, just sit here and wait. Otherwise, he will underestimate you!"
"Do you want to disobey my order?" Xue Shao looked at him coldly.
"I dare not!... I know my mistake, please forgive me!"
"Stop talking nonsense, follow me!"
About half an hour later, dozens of cavalry appeared in front of Chengping County, and with the torches clear-cut flags, Wang Fangyi came.
Xue Shao set up a thousand cavalry guards under the city, beat the sling drums, and played military music, solemnly welcomed Wang Fangyi's arrival.
Seeing this formation, Wang Fangyi was ashamed and quickly turned over and dismounted. The gray beard flew forward and rushed forward to pay a long time to bow, "My subordinate Wang Fangyi is late to help the battle, so he is willing to ask Young Marshal Xue to forgive him!"
Xue Shao quickly met Wang Fangyi before he was about to bow down, "The old general, you can't do it! - Your bow will really ruin me!"
"It's time to bow!" Wang Fangyi tried very hard to bow down, but unexpectedly, Xue Shao's strength was much greater than he had imagined. He could not bow down even with him holding him.
Wang Fangyi couldn't help but look up at Xue Shao, and his expression suddenly became astonished!——How can Xue Shao be a playboy playing the piano and zither under the moon, how could he be so brave and healthy?
After a little stunned, Wang Fangyi stood up and waved his hand, "Bring those idiots to me!"
The soldiers under his command agreed and brought seven or eight strongly tied soldiers up. Among them, Duan Feng was the one.
"Governor Wang, what does this mean?" Xue Shao asked in surprise.
"I am not strict with my subordinates, and I am willing to apologize to the Young Marshal!" Wang Fangyi bowed his fists and said, "In addition, these miscellaneous servants were rude and humiliated and boldly provoked, and they rudely collided with General Xue under the young commander. It is really damn to damn military law! I will hand them over to the Young Marshal now, and I am willing to ask the Young Marshal not to show mercy. I have cut these miscellaneous servants to use the military law to correct the military law!"
"Elder General, the words are so serious!" Xue Shao immediately smiled, pulled Wang Fangyi's wrist intimately, and said, "As the saying goes, those who don't know are innocent, they have not done anything to hurt me. Xue Chuyu is not a good person, and he will fight if he has a disagreement. Looking back, I will cure him!"
"Young Marshal, you really don't have to take care of my face. You must severely punish these miscellaneous servants!" Wang Fangyi said, "The military law is ruthless, how can you allow blasphemy?"
"Then..." Xue Shao hesitated for a while and said, "Each of them is punished for twenty military sticks, and I will send them aside for the time being. I will order them to commit crimes and make meritorious service and go to collect the remnants of Bai Tieyu's gangs."
"Remaining?" Wang Fangyi was slightly stunned, "Young Marshal, where is Bai Tieyu's main force?"
Xue Shao smiled slightly, "It has disintegrated."
Wang Fangyi widened his eyes in disbelief, "Where is the bandit leader Bai Tieyu now?"
"Just in the city, alive." Xue Shao smiled, "If Governor Wang is interested, you might as well go and see that guy Bai Tieyu. But I have to remind Governor Wang that guy is just a pure crazy maniac, really. I was angry with his crazy words that day, so I beat him up. He... has fainted and has not woken up yet!"
Wang Fangyi raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Then let our army recover the two counties of Dabin and Suide, how about it?"
Xue Shao smiled, "These two counties have been restored yesterday. Longquan County, which was besieged by the rebels, has also been rescued. It was the one Xue Chuyu led his army to handle it."
"So quickly?" Wang Fangyi's expression was completely frozen. "I received the imperial court order and sent troops overnight. I was not in the baggage and walked quickly for two days and two nights. My beard was frozen. Now when I arrived in Suizhou, I didn't even have to fight?"
Xue Shao smiled with a puzzled look on his face and whispered: "The old general and some remnants of white bandits are scattered in the mountains and villages of various prefectures and counties. Duan Feng and others can be allowed to make meritorious contributions and lead their troops to conquer them."
After hearing this, Wang Fangyi took a deep breath from the belly to the chest in front of Xue Shao. He understood what Xue Shao meant - if it weren't for giving Duan Feng and others a chance to lose the punishment and eliminate the remnants of the White Bandits, you wouldn't have to do with your Anxi Army!
"You group of embarrassing mistresses, why don't you thank the Young Marshal quickly?!" Wang Fangyi roared loudly.
Duan Feng and others fell down without any temper, "Thank you, Young Marshal, for being magnanimous and kind to the outside world!"
"Brothers, please invite me! I have said that those who don't know are innocent! Hurry up, please invite me!" Xue Shao hurriedly stepped forward and helped each other himself, and asked Wang Fangyi to loosen their ties.
Wang Fangyi was already brushing his long beard with his hands on his side, and he was speechlessly choking forty-five degrees, looking up at the sky.
The sky in Suizhou is smeared with black paint.
Just like Wang Fangyi's face at this moment.
