Chapter 137 bowing head
The sunlight fell to the city, and the noisy and chaos of nearly tens of thousands of people gradually became orderly.
In Xinchangfang, Shengdaofang, fierce conflicts were stable, and generals and officials from all levels ran around and shouted in the crowd, "The commander of the sergeant, the centurion, the young commander, and the missing soldiers were returning. The wounded were being supported by someone to bandage the wounded, and they were scared to rely on the past, trembling and recalling what had happened before.
"First clean up the bodies, register the names of the dead, and transport them to the city for burial."
"Go and find the doctor in the city immediately. It is best to bring the wounded medicine together!"
Among the defeated soldiers coming and going, Geng Qing shouted loudly, his robe was torn and his hair was messy, dragging his tired body to pull the familiar soldiers to order, and occasionally, he would look to the direction of the imperial city.
‘It should have been all in...’
His eyes drifted away and he started shouting again, helping to help the wounded, and even tearing his cuffs apart, tightening his bloody arms for the soldiers.
"Supervisor! Supervisor!"
A lame soldier pushed away the comrade blocking the road and limped. Geng Qing gritted his teeth and tightened the cloth strip and stood up to look at him. The latter hugged his fists and then pointed to the back.
"The palace came out of the palace and said that His Majesty summoned you and Meng's defensive envoy."
Geng Qing said 'um', turned around and reminded the wounded soldier a few times, then patted the dust, tidied up his hair, and said to the two gang members who followed: "Go back to Yong'anfang to see your home, I'll go to the palace first."
The two looked at each other, raised their hands and arched, and turned around and walked away quickly.
The evening wind blew across the long street, and the blood was blowing. Geng Qing watched the two disappear in the figures of disappearing. Then he turned around and took the reins handed over by the soldiers, and was supported and sat on the horse. Using the driving experience learned from escape on the road, he slowly went to the imperial city. When he was about to come to the door, Meng Juehai also came from Pingkangfang.
"It's true to see Your Majesty." He said coldly and walked into the imperial city first.
Soon, the two of them entered the Tai Chi Palace one after another, waiting for the emperor's summons. The eunuch who searched the body touched Geng Qing's chest, armpits, and waist, using a sound that only the two could hear, and said softly: "Everything is safe."
Geng Qing lowered his eyelids slightly. When the eunuch left, a slightly bent figure walked out of the Tai Chi Hall. Gao Xuan: "Your Majesty Xuan, the defensive commander Meng Juehai, and Geng Qing, the Minister of War, entered the hall!"
In the Tai Chi Hall, both civil and military officials were present, and their expressions were very frightened. I guess the Shatuo people entered the city and fled to the south gate with the emperor, which made it difficult for them to feel at ease. At the moment, Meng Juehai and Geng Qing came in, but there was not much reaction.
"My memory, Geng Qing (Meng Juehai) pays homage to Your Majesty!"
The two of them entered the hall and stood in the middle, bowed together, and the dragon chaise on the imperial stairs, the emperor who was sitting upright raised his hand and asked them to be exempted from courtesy.
"Tell me, you two lost their troops before fighting in a battle, and let the Shatuo people take the opportunity to attack Yanxingmen and disturb the people in the city. If you can't explain it, I will be difficult to deal with this matter."
As the chief general of the army, Meng Juehai naturally had to speak first.
"His Majesty!"
He stepped forward and held his fists and half-kneeled. The marks of the armor were noticeable, but Meng Juehai ignored it completely and just told the story of the attack that night, and even talked about the Weishui being attacked again halfway.
"Your Majesty, this is the case, and the military supervisor can testify. The general Shatuo is fierce and unstoppable. Peng Baihu and the Overwhelming Banlang are all brave men under the command of the general, but they can't walk two together in the hands of the other party. The soldiers in the camp were even more shocked, making them feel as if there was no one in the place, and... and..."
Meng Juehai paused, pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment: "Also, this person is proficient in military affairs. After attacking the camp, he came again in the second half of the night. The soldiers in the camp were so scared that they exploded the camp. This is the main reason for the defeat of the last general."
The emperor on the dragon throne looked at the two of them expressionlessly. In the information sent by Meng Juehai, the generals who died in battle also wrote them one by one, and the name of his nephew Lin Yan was also on it.
Thinking about it at this moment, it was a little heartbreaking.
He came out with him in his early years, and experienced countless wars of all sizes, and died in this camp. I heard that he was a little cowardly.
His eyes fell on Geng Qing's face, his gray beard shook slightly, and he opened his lips and asked, "Geng Qing, why did the Lin Zhuanluo Army be with you in Nanying? Are you there when he dies?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, the Transshipment Commander and General Peng came to Chen's tent to drink that night."
Geng Qing lowered his face and also said that night. Of course, pointing at the two of them with a firearm was not included. He continued to say: "After attacking the camp, the transshipment commander organized troops to resist. He never thought that the thief general was fierce. He saw the transshipment commander in the crowd at a glance and killed him directly. I hurriedly took people up and fought with the thief general, but unfortunately he was still one step late."
Huang Chao narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his lips were slightly opened, with a hot breath. He understood why his nephew took Peng Baihu to Geng Qing to drink. He couldn't say it in front of all the civil and military officials, but it was hard not to doubt that it was Geng Qing who harmed Lin Yan with his backhand.
He pinched the dragon's head tightly, leaned forward slightly, and said, "Why don't you kill him?"
Geng Qing didn't move at all, but just raised his hand.
"Your Majesty, I am dark-faced, that thief will not see me clearly."
At this time, the civil and military officials in the hall, and even the generals in the rebel army frowned after hearing Huang Chao's words. If it were someone else, who would the emperor want to kill, he would kill him.
But they have some good feelings for Geng Qing. After Chang'an settled, many people set up their belongings here, and most of them were the young man who helped him out.
Someone wanted to stand up and plead, but when Geng Qing answered, they couldn't help laughing. The young man was born in a mud-legged manner and worked all year round, so he was naturally dark. He was put under the chaotic camp without paying special attention, and it was really not easy to see.
"Clever words make people look good!"
In a depressed low voice, Cui Yu looked at his colleagues around him and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, as a military supervisor, did not act when he saw the camp, and saw his comrades die in battle, but was not sad. He even said such laughable words, but actually despises His Majesty."
"Your Majesty, I am talking about the truth." Geng Qing hurriedly bowed, "In that environment, it is impossible for the thief general to distinguish one by one. Naturally, I saw the fortune envoy wearing official robes among the crowd first. As for Cui Xiang, I said that I was not sad, there were too many people who died that day, and I had already shed tears."
"Geng Qing suffered."
The emperor on the dragon throne said to comfort him, but in fact he was still cold. "But as a military supervisor, the crime of tragic traits is inevitable. You are temporarily given the position of Assistant Minister of War and the Military Envoy."
"His Majesty!"
At this time, someone interrupted, Meng Juehai raised his hand and looked at the imperial stairs, "Mr. Geng gathered the defeated troops along the way and saved the siege in Huazhou. Even though he had it before, he should have resisted, otherwise this would make the brothers dissatisfied."
Bang!
The old man suddenly slapped the dragon head and stood up, pointing at the man with a angrily beard: "Rareless, do you teach me how to do things? Now I am still a rebel army? The kindness of the world in the past must not be moved to the court again."
The emperor's tone was slightly slower and he waved his hand.
"This matter is settled, Geng Qing, do you still have any objections?"
Geng Qing lowered his eyes and said softly.
Chapter completed!
