Chapter 131 Pathfinder Stone
Generally, after the war, the battlefield must be cleaned. The bodies of the enemy and friendly forces must be buried on the spot to avoid plague. However, it took less than a day before and after the Pingnan Army siege. Even if the battlefield is cleaned, it will take one or two days to bury it. However, Cheng Ping, the deputy general of the Pingnan Army, actually said that all of them were buried.
This is because I don’t even want to do a play.
But it's not surprising that neither side fought seriously, and Cheng Ping had no place to get the body for Li Xin to show it. He couldn't kill his family.
It is even more unreliable to make people pretend to be corpses, and it is easy to distinguish between living and dead people.
Faced with Cheng Ping's scoundrel face, Li Xin took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Pingnan Army is worthy of being the Pingnan Army. He is very heroic and can win a county town in one day. Moreover, the siege battle is like this, which can be said to be a big victory."
Cheng Pingran said calmly: "It is all soldiers who use their lives, and the people in Deyang County abandon the darkness and turn to the light in time, so this war will go so smoothly."
He smiled at Li Xin and said, "Person Li, Deyang County is now broken, so there is no need for us to stay here. Let's go into the county town. Our army will repair the Deyang County town for a few days. In the past few days, Cheng will sort out the battle report statistics. At that time, I hope that Captain Li will record it truthfully so that His Majesty can know the war in southern Xinjiang."
Li Xin laughed and said, "It's easy to say, I will record it truthfully."
Cheng Ping glanced at Li Xin and Xue Zichuan indifferently, and finally said calmly: "Then let's go into the city."
"Assuming General Cheng's arrangement."
Cheng Ping, covered in blood, turned around and walked out of the tent. Li Xin and others followed him, and the group walked towards Deyang County.
Li Xin walked at the end, looked up at Cheng Ping in front, and smiled at Wang Mo beside him, "Brother Wang, do you think the blood on General Cheng's body is pig blood or chicken blood."
"Chicken blood."
Wang Mo said in a deep voice: "I can smell it."
Li Xin narrowed his eyes: "That's a pity. The chicken blood is still delicious."
Wang Mo lowered his head. Although his face had not changed much, he was already full of anger.
Only now did they realize that Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, did not take this group of people seriously at all. The Pingnan Army might have regarded them as a huge joke.
The deputy general Cheng Ping, who was walking in front, was polite on the surface, but secretly didn't know how to laugh at them.
"These people are too bullying."
Li Xin shook his head and said calmly: "Brother Wang doesn't need to be angry. If we are in a different place, we might do the same thing, even more excessive. After all, it is because we are too light and not enough to let that Marquis Pingnan see it."
If a prince of the Ji family came here in person, then the Pingnan Army and the remnants of Southern Shu would have to fight, no matter what, but Li Xin and Xue Zichuan, two seventh-rank officials, were not worthy of letting the Pingnan Army fight.
Cheng Ping said that the Pingnan Army dispatched 20,000 people to attack Deyang County, but the army was in a mighty way. Li Xin and others were in the army and had no way to distinguish the number of people. According to Cheng Ping's attitude, it would be nice to have two thousand people dispatched by the Pingnan Army this time!
Two thousand people, in one day, they captured the southern border without any bloodshed.
It was almost noon, and Li Xin and others entered Deyang County. There was a peaceful scene, and there was no trace of turmoil.
According to Cheng Ping, the people in Deyang County abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, so there was no damage in the city.
However, there were still a lot of blood at the gate of the city. The bright red patch looked scary, but I didn’t know if it was chicken blood or pig blood.
In short, Ping Nanjun still barely made a play for Li Xin and others to watch, although the play was very unscrupulous and inappropriate.
But there is no way. As long as the Pingnan Army acts like this, Li Xin and others will believe it. Not only do they have to believe it, but they also have to write it out and hand it over to His Majesty the Emperor's desk.
This is a multiple-choice question that is not difficult to choose.
Under Cheng Ping's arrangement, they lived in a large mansion in Deyang County. Before leaving, General Cheng smiled at Li Xin: "Personnel Li, you will live here in the next few days. After our army has been repaired in a few days, Cheng will notify you again. As for the military newspapers for the Deyang Battle, Cheng will send someone to deliver them later."
Li Xin returned the salute with his fists.
"It's time for General Cheng."
Cheng Ping looked at Li Xin who was calm and calm in surprise, and finally smiled and turned around and left.
If I remember correctly, this Lieutenant Li is only sixteen years old this year. He can have such a calm temperament at the age of sixteen. He may be a character in the future...
After Cheng Ping left, Xue Zichuan from the Censorate was so angry that his face turned red.
Although he was not very smart, he could certainly see such an obvious thing.
"The Pingnan Marquis' Mansion is too bullying!"
Xue Zichuan said angrily: "Does these people treat us like children?"
Li Xin looked at him faintly and smiled: "If Yushi Xue said this in front of General Cheng, it might be of some use. What's the use of saying it in front of us?"
Xue Zichuan looked at Li Xin reluctantly and lowered his voice: "Uh... Li Zhengwei, what should we do now?"
"Of course I have to survive."
Li Xin's face was calm: "If we die in southern Xinjiang, the affairs of southern Xinjiang will never be known, and Your Majesty will be kept in the dark. The most urgent task is to return to the capital alive and tell His Majesty everything he sees and hears."
Xue Zichuan looked excited.
"Yes, I will keep a useful body. After returning to the capital, I will come to the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion to make a decision."
The censor gritted his teeth: "At that time, Xue must tell His Majesty the matter in southern Xinjiang as soon as possible, so that His Majesty can know the face of Pingnan Army!"
Li Xin narrowed his eyes and returned to his room with a smile.
If they could return to the capital, these words could not be said, because the court is not ready to deal with the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion, so these words are in vain. Even if they say them, they may even be charged with "fraudulent a first-rank general" and lose their lives.
However, Li Xin didn't say these words himself, and asked the stupid Yushi Xue to say them, but there was no problem.
As long as Xue Zichuan sued the Pingnan Army in the capital, Li Xin could use His Majesty’s reaction to Xue Zichuan to guess the specific attitude of the emperor towards the Pingnan Army.
At that time, Li Xin can boldly plan his next move.
After Li Xin returned to his room, Wang Mo from the Guards camp followed him in. The tall emperor's servant bent over and fisted at Li Xin: "Person Li, what should we do next?"
At this point, Wang Mo has been impressed by the wisdom of this young man. It can be said that if it weren't for Li Xin, their group might have died long ago.
Li Xin poured a cup of tea for Wang Mo, and his voice was calm: "What else can I do? Just follow General Cheng and "watch" the Pingnan Army to take back Hanzhou Prefecture."
Li Xin took a sip of tea and smiled slightly.
