Chapter 84
--
The next day, Wei Ji woke up early. He was young after all. After sleeping for a night, his body had recovered. Seeing that Chu Shaoling was not awake, Wei Ji gently lifted the blanket and lifted up the middle clothes to see the wound on his body. The wounds had scabbed and new flesh was growing inside. It was a little itchy. Wei Ji gently touched it and stopped taking it seriously, and then lay down again.
The guard Ji fell asleep when he came back from the battlefield yesterday. He didn't know what happened afterwards. He was lying on the couch and planning secretly. Just like Chu Shaoling's thoughts, the guard Ji also felt that it would be better to fight hundreds of miles to the west. It was far away from the northwest and it was very difficult to move the troops once. After finally coming, it would have to make Liao Liang lose his vitality. They couldn't beat Liao Liang back. The Liao Liang people ran back as soon as they left.
Wei Ji closed his eyes and thought about the terrain behind after he went deep into Krakash. He had thousands of troops in his mind. He was planning to feel a warmth on his forehead. He quickly opened his eyes. Chu Shaoling chuckled: "Why don't you call me when you wake up?"
"I'm afraid that your highness would sleep late last night." Wei Ji got up and took the clothes on the side and handed them to Chu Shaoling, "When did your highness come back last night? I vaguely remember that he heard that your highness was back and he fell asleep again."
Chu Shaoling put on his clothes and smiled and said, "I woke you up. I came back from Haishi last night. The soldiers won a big victory and made a little late, so you are missing."
Wei Ji felt a little embarrassed: "I just lie down so early after suffering some minor injuries. I am frivolous, which makes other generals laugh."
"What's the matter? Yesterday's victory in Karakash, you are a great hero." Chu Shaoling was also afraid that other soldiers would be angry with the Guardian. He knocked him over and said one word last night. I think he would never make any jokes like Bai Yunjiang in the future. Chu Shaoling leaned over and untied the Guardian's clothes and looked at the wound on his body carefully, nodded, "It's so good."
Wei Ji smiled: "Your Highness used those good medicines for me yesterday. How could it not be so good? It's just too extravagant."
"When I came, the Empress Dowager brought me those, who would I use them if I didn't give them to you?" Chu Shaoling put on the middle clothes for the Guardian, and shaved the Guardian's face and said with a smile, "You don't know yet. Yesterday, the prisoners of 14,000 Dizi captured more than 4,000 war horses. When I came back, I gave you two thousand horses."
"The two thousand cavalrymen have all their horses. This time, they lost seven or eight hundred. Your Highness will make up for me. If there are too many, it will be a waste." Wei Ji got up and put on his clothes, raised his hair, and thought for a while, "There are a lot of prisoners of war... What should you do with your Highness?"
"When I was transporting my injuries to Xianoutuo, I had already taken more than 5,000 yuan to pass. I let the prefectures there be tattoos, and I will take care of them after the war is over." Chu Shaoling sneered, "I asked the King of Liaoliang for 30,000 young slaves, but he refused to give them. Now I robbed more than 10,000 yuan myself. When I was defeated, I wonder if Liaoliang could still take out 30,000 yuan."
"What do you want so many middle-aged people to do?" Wei Ji couldn't figure it out, "Are you staying here as a serf? This place is too close to Liaoliang, and you are accidentally afraid that these people will run back. If you make trouble again, you will make trouble... it will be even more trouble."
Chu Shaoling nodded: "I know, I didn't want to leave these people here. When the war is pacified, I will send people to escort these prisoners of war to the south in batches, and then let them go to Yunnan to dig up wasteland and grow grain."
Wei Ji smiled and said, "It's a way." In this way, some people have reclaimed the wastelands in the south, and these prisoners of war have a home. It is better to be able to defend a piece of land than to lick blood from the knife.
Chu Shaoling rubbed the head of the guard halberd: "I won the first battle, and there are still some fighting below. Look... I will kill all the land within a radius of hundreds of miles."
Wei Ji smiled: "Your Highness is brave."
"I have to rely on General Cavalry." Chu Shaoling lowered his head and kissed the guard's forehead. "The memorial to ask you for a first-class man has been handed over. Are you happy?"
Wei Ji nodded and suddenly said, "Your Highness... Can you still live in the royal palace after you are granted the Duke?"
Chu Shaoling laughed: "Or where do you want to go? Want to open a house and live another place?"
Wei Ji quickly shook his head: "I don't want to."
Chu Shaoling smiled: "What are you thinking about again?"
After packing up, they used breakfast together. At the same time, everyone came to Chu Shaoling's tent to discuss matters. But what they said was the war yesterday. Chu Shaoling spread out the map and said, "Now we are in the westernmost part of Karakash. Going westward is Retong. Capture Retong and go north three hundred miles north is the imperial capital of Liaoliang. The King of Liaoliang wants to be prepared. As long as you pass Retong, it's easy to say. At that time, the King of Liaoliang will come to discuss peace."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, Lian Yu said, "If you want to negotiate peace... the general or those conditions?"
Chu Shaoling smiled arrogantly: "It's more, not less, but the King of Liaoliang will not agree. He will directly fight into Fenghe Liaoliang Palace. He thought he would agree when he came."
What Chu Shaoling said to Wei Zhan yesterday has spread. After entering Liaoliang, he took the money at will, and scrambled to be whatever he wanted. Everyone is not stupid. Chu Shaoling is obviously rewarding the soldiers. Everyone has a tacit understanding in their hearts, and they all think that it is better to really break into Fenghe.
After Chu Shaoling gave instructed, he ordered: "Let the soldiers rest for a few more hours, and after lunch, we will set up the camp, leaving 20,000 soldiers to garrison. We must rush to Retong before the rest of the sunset."
Everyone stood up and bowed to agree and then left the tent.
The Wei Ji rolled up the sheepskin map and put it up. Chu Shaoling hugged the person from behind and whispered: "I'm afraid the war will start again tomorrow, so how can I hold on?"
"Your Highness wants to start the war today and the minister can hold on." Wei Ji turned around and smiled, "If you have this little injury... your highness will be responsible."
Chu Shaoling smiled and said, "Why are you so sweet? Are you happy, I take it seriously?"
Wei Ji couldn't stand Chu Shaoling's teasing, and he said to him: "Your Highness...when will you be able to pass lunch? I am a little hungry."
"Hungry?" Chu Shaoling glanced at the hourglass in the tent and said, "If you are hungry, then you will spread it now. Do you have anything to eat?"
Wei Ji shook his head: "Those are good on weekdays."
Chu Shaoling ordered people to pass on the meal. After the meal, the two leaned on the couch for a while and waited until noon to set off the camp.
The prisoners of war and injuries were all prepared, and Chu Shaoling ordered the war to determine the food and grass. After all, Chu Shaoling got on the carriage. The guards inside were looking out of the car window. Chu Shaoling smiled and said, "What are you looking at?"
Wei Ji put down the curtain and smiled embarrassedly: "I am looking for thousands of soldiers of my own."
Chu Shaoling laughed: "Is it still afraid that I will lose it? If you are unpromising, show me the injuries on your body..."
Chu Shaoling took off Wei Ji's clothes and applied medicine to him again. After packing up, the two leaned on the carriage to take a nap. Wei Ji was very excited when he thought about the war below. He tossed and turned and thought about the terrain over and over again. Chu Shaoling originally wanted him to sleep for a while, but Wei Ji couldn't sleep even if he closed his eyes. Chu Shaoling smiled: "Why do you look like a child? You can't fight today, just go to bed honestly."
Wei Ji smiled and said for a long time, "Your Highness... I want to knock down Retong for Your Highness and plant His Highness's banner into the Liaoliang Imperial City, so that the people of Liaoliang know that the future emperor of Da Chu is different from the current emperor. In the future, Your Highness will not tolerate anyone's offense."
Chu Shaoling suddenly felt like he had knocked over the five flavor bottle. He was stunned for a while and kissed Wei Ji on the head, a silly thing.
The army arrived at Retong before sunset, and further ahead was the territory of Liaoliang. Chu Shaoling looked at the endless wasteland and quietly planned in his heart. They wanted to go deep into the hinterland of Liaoliang. The front was too long and the Liaoliang people had no supplies. In order to solve the problem of insufficient food and grass, they had to march urgently and fight quickly. When the Liaoliang people could not react, they were beaten to pieces.
Wei Ji's mind is the same as Chu Shaoling. Wei Ji also likes to fight quickly, not just because of supplies. In Wei Ji's opinion, three points of war depend on morale. If you rush over with one rush, just that momentum can scare the enemy to his heart. It's easy to say that the enemy has no idea what is below. At this time, Wei Ji didn't know that his reputation had already been passed to Liaoliang. Without him, he would report to the general of the cavalry to raise his halberd flag and make the people of Liaoliang frightened.
When it was dark and I couldn't see the road clearly, Chu Shaoling ordered people to set up camp. After packing up, he ordered people to go to bed immediately after using food. The people on night also dismantled and made three shifts. It is important to ensure that everyone can sleep. The next day, the camp will be pulled over and continued to walk westward at three o'clock in the next day.
Chu Shaoling came in full force. The King of Liang of Liao never expected that they would continue to attack. He hurriedly assembled 50,000 soldiers and ordered Retong to be defended to death.
In front of the formation, Chu Shaoling looked at the Liaoliang army and smiled and said, "I heard that... the prince of Liaoliang has also gone to fight this time. I have passed the order to kill the prince of Liaoliang and give him a thousand taels of gold."
"Where is the one who captured the Prince of Liaoliang alive?" Lian Yu was also a striker this time, eager to try, "What does the general reward?"
Chu Shaoling chuckled: "Ten Thousand Taels of Gold."
The soldiers heard this and shouted in harmony. When the sound of the horn sounded, they rushed towards the Liaoliang soldiers. This time, Chu Shaoling's army was as numerous as the Liaoliang soldiers, and they had to take the lead to have a chance of victory. The Prince of Liaoliang personally fought, and the morale of the Liaoliang soldiers was also very strong. After an hour of the battle, the two sides were almost equally injured.
The Wei Ji General rushed into the Liaoliang Formation. The Wei Ji was famous for her. The Liaoliang soldiers were quite taboo. Wei Ji ordered everyone to present the Eagle Formation and killed the Liaoliang Formation. Wei Ji still remembered Chu Shaoling's words just now and wanted to capture the Prince of Liaoliang alive. The Liaoliang people were not stupid. A group of Liaoliang soldiers rushed up to make flesh shields to resist the attack of Wei Ji and his team. Wei Ji's eagle Formation failed to succeed after several encirclements.
Wei Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered everyone to change to the shield formation.
"General of the Cavalry!" The personal army of the Guard Ji couldn't help but shout, "The shield formation is good at defending and difficult to attack, and it can't surround Di Zi's prince!"
Wei Ji shook his head: "It's okay! Change to the shield formation! I will have my own way! Quick!!"
Everyone hurriedly moved closer to the Wei Ji. The Wei Ji ordered the soldiers to change their sabers and started hand-to-hand combat like in the Battle of Krakash. The soldiers of the Wei Ji gathered together. Countless big swords slashed and actually tore a hole in front of the Liaoliang Formation. The soldiers from the Wei Ji rushed over. Everyone followed the soldiers who dispersed Liaoliang. The Wei Ji and his team took the opportunity to rush into the Liaoliang Formation. The Wei Ji looked like a torch and whispered: "The person with a red belt tied to the head in the northwest is Prince Liaoliang, right?"
The guards beside the guards also saw them. Now they were less than a hundred feet away from the man. The guards were overjoyed: "General! Let's surround us!!"
Wei Ji wiped the blood from the sabre and shook his head: "No need."
The people of Liaoliang were guarding their prince. It was too difficult to capture them alive. Fighting hard might not be successful. Too many soldiers would have to be damaged. The Guardian had already given up. The Guardian ordered the soldiers around him to cover him. He took the sabre back to his waist and took the six-jun bow that had been slapped on the horse's back with his back.
After fighting for so long, everyone may have forgotten that the Guardian is not the big sword, but the long bow.
Wei Ji pulled out an arrow and closed her left eye on the bow. The distance was too far... There were so many people in front of Prince Liaoliang... Wei Ji calmed down and pulled the bowstring with force with his right arm. Wei Ji held his breath, stared at the red on Prince Liaoliang's head with his right eye. He suddenly let go of his right hand, and the arrow roared away!
The guards did not pause for a moment, and immediately picked up another arrow and put it on the bow. This time, there was no pause at all. After pulling the bowstrings, he immediately left his hand. The second arrow headed towards Prince Liaoliang. The tail of the arrow rubbed against the air and made a sharp sound. The two arrows were only a moment away from each other. The previous arrow was blocked by the people in front of Prince Liaoliang. Before Prince Liaoliang could react, the second arrow was nailed into his heart!
The Prince of Liaoliang struggled for a moment and rolled off his horse, and the Liaoliang army was in chaos in an instant.
