Chapter 50: Getting drunk at the table

 The three pillars of life, we have fought together, we have been together, and we have been together.

Du Jing easily conquered two states, and his arrogance in front of the battle was enough to impress Qin Huaiyu, who had few opponents.

What's more, he gave up his privileged job and came all the way from Chang'an to avenge Dugu Ancheng. Qin Huaiyu admired him for his loyalty.

Therefore, he took the initiative to have the soldiers of the two battalions on his left and right have a dinner together to celebrate the victory in the first battle.

In the main tent, on the left side is Qin's Zuoying. The generals are Shi Renji (the second son of Shi Danai), Zhang Zhizhi and Zhang Zhixuan (grandson of Zhang Xutuo). On the right side are Qiao Gui and Cheng Chu.

The generals of Youying led by Bi.

All the generals have great respect for Qiao Gui, the cavalry general of the Prince of Qin's palace. The army has always been ranked according to seniority. In their eyes, a person with Qiao Gui's seniority is no different from a third-rank general.

Of course, the generals were more interested in the story of Qiao Gui's expedition with the saint in the north and south. Cao Jishu and Gao Boying frequently poured wine and asked the general to talk about those eventful years.

Du Jing was tired of hearing this story a long time ago. She just wanted to have a drink with Qin Huaiyu and inquire about the death of Dugu Ancheng.

Brother, Du Jing has known him for so many years. He is not the kind of person who stays on the mountain and waits for death. There must be another hidden reason for his death. Due to the urgent military situation a few days ago, I didn't have time to ask. So, now I want to ask Qin Huaiyu for advice.

When it came to the death of Dugu Ancheng, Qin Huaiyu also sighed for a while. He drank three bowls of wine before murmuring solemnly: "Actually, brother Ancheng died for the overall situation."

When the Tubo invaded and the Qiang rebelled, the best way was of course to first stabilize the internal situation and then fight against the external situation. If he were to be the governor, this would definitely be the choice.

But we didn't expect the Tibetan army to advance so fast. Before Han Wei could defeat the two armies, they pressed forward all at once, almost becoming a pincer attack from both inside and outside, with the intention of eating up the Korean armies and taking Songzhou easily.

At this time, the Korean army was in great danger. If they were not careful, the whole army would be wiped out. They had to fight and retreat and break out towards Songfengling. Dugu Ancheng also personally led the army and supported Han Wei up the mountain.

The Tibetan army and the two rebel armies also followed almost at the same time, giving Han Wei no time to breathe. The army followed closely and immediately prepared to surround the mountain. Once they were surrounded, they would not be able to escape and could only

Watching helplessly, the Tibetans easily captured Songzhou City with only 2,000 defenders left.

Therefore, Dugu Ancheng proposed that Han Wei take the main force back to Songzhou to strengthen the defense before the encirclement was encircled, and he would lead the general army to hold down the enemy here.

Songfengling is the barrier of Songzhou, and the Tonglui Army is the nail in the way of Tubo's advance. In normal times, we can be horns and rely on each other, but at this time, wanting to do so is tantamount to wishful thinking.

Choose the lesser of two harms, choose the greater of two benefits and power. Although he knows that those left behind will die, Han Wei has no other choice. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Songzhou City, so he can only bite the bullet and follow Dugu.

An honest plan.

Under the enemy's repeated attacks day and night, Dugu Ancheng won the most precious three days for them, and made great contributions to adjusting the troops to defend Songzhou.

While guarding Songzhou, Qin Huaiyu captured two prisoners. After interrogation, he learned that Dugu Ancheng died at the hands of the Tubo Central Army General Shang Ming. He was the eldest son of the Tubo Prime Minister Shang Nang.

When the Tubo people attacked Songzhou City, they separated his body and head and returned the body to the Tang Dynasty. The head was hung on Shang Ming's general's flag to show his illustrious martial arts.

During today's counterattack, he dashed forward in a furious rush just to lure out this guy, chop him off, and snatch Dugu Ancheng's head back.

However, there was no movement at all from the Chinese army led by the Chief Minister of Tibet, Mangbuji Shangnang, and they were not fooled at all.

Qin Huaiyu said with guilt: "Brother, I tried my best. I'm really sorry!"

Of course Du Jing knew that if Songzhou City was lost, it would be a failure to let down Dugu Ancheng and the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the Tonggui Army. In that situation, defending Songzhou was the most important thing, and he did not blame Han Wei and Qin Huaiyu.

He will do the same thing if he does.

After patting Qin Huaiyu on the shoulder, Du Jing raised the wine bowl and touched it with Qin Huaiyu. The second general drank the wine in the bowl without saying anything.

After the banquet, Du Jing took Cheng Chubi around the camp to make sure that all the soldiers in the right camp were sleeping peacefully, then returned to the tent and picked up the packages that had been prepared.

Seeing Du Jing mentioning the guy wrapped tightly in cloth on the shelf, Cheng Chubi immediately got angry: "You said you won't use it again in the future."

Knocking off his hand, Du Jing said calmly: "None of us want to go back to the past, but sometimes, we have no choice!"

After so many years of brotherhood, Cheng Chubi knew that Du Jing was a stubborn donkey who refused to lead him away and pushed him backwards. The decision he made would never change. He could only sigh and follow behind.

As soon as they walked out of the camp, they ran into the person they hated most - Zhonglang General Xu Bin. Because he was born in Shaolin and used a big iron rod, he was nicknamed Xu Da Bangzi.

This meat-and-potatoes monk was murderous, arrogant and rude, and could not abide by the strict rules and regulations. Joining the Tang army was like a fish in water, and he followed Hou Junji all the way to the rank of Zhonglang General.

The reason why we don't have eyes with him is because this guy doesn't follow the rules. Any chicken he attacks will not survive, even the children. There is no bottom line in what he does.

"Da Bangzi, I advise you to mind your own business, otherwise."

"Cheng San, don't scare me, it's useless! Besides, I'm not here to find you."

Yes, if Cheng Chubi secretly left the military camp, it might be desertion.

But what kind of virtue Du Jing is, Xu Bin knows very well. He and Dugu Ancheng are friends in exchange for their lives. Songfengling is so close, how can they remain indifferent?

Raising his hand to stop Cheng Chubi who was about to curse, Du Jing took a step forward and asked solemnly: "What do you want, tell the commander-in-chief?"

With a cold snort, Xu Bin shook his head and threw the leather bucket containing the map to Du Jing. This was the result of three hours of squatting in the prisoner of war camp - the map of the Tibetan army's defense in Songfengling.

He originally thought that he would use it so that when he regained Songfengling, he could take the lead in attacking and make a great contribution. But when he saw Du Jing and the two sneaking out of the camp, he knew that they were going to die, so it was convenient for him.

Why not!

As for why Du Jing asked, Xu Bin smiled and said: "If you die, the commander-in-chief will definitely promote me to the top, and I will get a lot of credit for my hard work!"

Well, it doesn't matter what the reason is, it's all a favor. Du Jing nodded and replied: "I will try my best to live as long as you want!", waved his hand, and left the military camp with Cheng Chubi.

Seeing the two figures gradually blending into the night, Xu Bin cursed: "Damn it, how old are you, and you still can't talk about justice!"

Yes, Xu Bin doesn't like Du Jing either, because he is just a child who has not grown up. He can even risk his life for the sake of justice.

Righteous? Shan Xiongxin is quite righteous, but he doesn’t fall for his righteousness. After all, people die like this, and those who survive are all fucking cowards.
