A dozen sergeants brought up more than a hundred heads. These heads were all packed in bamboo baskets. There were twelve or three heads in one basket. They were not covered with linen cloth and were directly exposed. The temporary ferocious expressions still remained on the faces. There were also some skulls on the bottom of the bamboo baskets.
Thick black and red blood seeped out and dripped on the floor tiles.
In Gaochunnian, Zhou He and Zhou He, both of whom were ministers, turned pale when they saw this scene with Qiao Jien and others.
Zheng Huaizhong's beard and hair were half white. He thought that nothing could offend him during these years of self-cultivation. At this moment, he was shaking with anger, his lungs bursting with anger. He pressed his hand on the table, stared at Xu Huai with sharp eyes, and asked angrily:
"Xu Huai, what do you mean?"
"You're such a fool, you're going too far!"
"Who are you, you want to sit on our heads and poop and pee?"
There were also eight or nine forward generals of the Western Army sitting in the palace, all of whom were commanders of the capital and first-level figures in the capital. When they saw this scene, they were furious. They wished they could kick away the long case and step forward to grab Xu Huai.
Just beat him to death.
Xu Huai looked at Zheng Huaizhong and the generals of the Western Army coldly, snorted coldly, and said: "How to defeat the enemy? The ministers in the temple have their own plans. It is not my turn as a warrior to point fingers, but Chi Hu
If one day we really withdraw our troops, and someone in Noda Mo asks Zheng Jinglue and other military commanders what contribution they have made to the Western Army, Xu Huai is afraid that the generals will be embarrassed and embarrassed, so he sends hundreds of enemy heads to strengthen your confidence. What?
Xu Huai's gift is not a heavy gift? It doesn't matter, Xu Huai has no ability. Today he led a thousand soldiers to storm the enemy camp and beheaded 600 heads. I will give them to you all just to show off, why not?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you trying to deceive our Western Army?" A military general was so angry that he punched the captain's case and was about to rush over and grab Xu Huai.
"You didn't dare to go into battle to kill the enemy, but you dared to beat and kill your colleagues in front of His Highness, your Majesty?" Xu Huai held down the saber on his waist and stared at the general with murderous intent.
"Go back!" Zheng Huaizhong ordered the general to sit back down in a deep voice, stared at Xu Huai, and said coldly, "Don't bully others too much!"
"What does it mean to bully others too much?" Xu Huai said coldly, "I led my troops into the enemy camp. Zheng Jinglue had 50,000 elite troops of the Western Army in Gong County, but he stood still. Doesn't this mean bullying others too much? Zheng Jinglue,
Don’t forget that Gong County was defended by His Highness, Zhang Junhou, Qiao Langjun and the last general with three thousand soldiers to the death!"
"Marquis Xu Jun, the government has a decree that the Western Army is not allowed to fight against Commander Zheng. The High Supervisory Army was stationed in Gong County earlier to observe the holy will. Why are you messing around here?" Zhou He finally came to his senses at this time.
He was also so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas destroyed the world, and he shouted harshly.
"The Holy One has a decree, ordering the armies not to fight, but I dare to ask Prime Minister Zhou, did the Holy One order the armies not to fight?" Xu Huai stared at Zhou He's triangular old eyes and asked tit for tat, "Prime Minister Zhou
Shi Cai also said that it is necessary to deal with the captive soldiers. I will boldly ask the Prime Minister again, if all the armies dare not fight the captive soldiers, the ministers will just rely on the skills of their lips and tongue to deal with the captive soldiers. I really think that they can rely on the three-inch indestructible weapon.
Can your tongue defeat a million soldiers?"
"To fight or not to fight, the commander-in-chief will decide. Where is the room for people like you to comment? If you continue to act recklessly, don't blame me for punishing you for disrespect!" Zhou He scolded angrily.
"When Prime Minister Zhou arrived in Gong County, Xu Huai was worried about Zheng Jinglue. The high-ranking supervisory army was trying to flatter Prime Minister Zhou in vain. He sent hundreds of enemy heads as a congratulation. What's the disrespect? Could it be a plan for the country to be in danger? There is nothing better than this.
A congratulatory gift?" Xu Huai asked.
"You, you...come here and drive this madman out." Zhou He was trembling with anger and shouted sharply.
"Prime Minister Zhou, you should also take a rest," King Jing Zhao Tuan said in a deep voice, "Xu Huai led his troops to attack the enemy camp. He originally fully expected Gong County to send troops to respond. Zheng Jinglue held his troops steady and could not be wrong, but Xu Huai
It’s understandable that he is so young and energetic, and feels unhappy about it! You can’t expect him to be as far-sighted as Prime Minister Zhou at such a young age.”
If there is really any military order, the troops in Gongxian City will of course be led by Zhou He, Zheng Huaizhong, Gao Chunnian and others. But at this time, when they heard Zhou He's call, they peeked out from the corridor to see the many guards who came in. When they saw King Jing Zhao Tuan
He was protective of Xu Huai, so naturally he would not rush into the palace to get into trouble.
"I am loyal to the official family. This time I left the capital and escaped death. Who would have thought that I would be bullied by Shuzi when I first arrived in Gong County? I..." Zhou He was so angry that his voice trembled.
"Prime Minister Zhou, calm down," King Jing Zhao Tuan pretended to be stern and said to Xu Huai, "It's understandable that you have resentment in your heart, but don't do this kind of thing again in the future. What's the point of it? Is it possible that Prime Minister Zhou has something wrong with you?
Did something piss you off? You all have to retreat, don’t ruin our fun again!"
Xu Huai stood up and cupped his hands towards King Jing, "Zhiyu" pushed the table away and stood up, holding the sword on his waist. He did not look at Zhou He, Zheng Huaizhong, Gao Chunnian, Wu Wenche and others, but looked at them with anger.
The forward generals of the Western Army seemed expressionless, but their eyes were as sharp as swords, trying to dig out the dirty soul under his skin from the roots.
It seemed that the forward generals of the Western Army were supporting the case angrily, and some were looking down at the case.
Deng Gui sat without moving. When others were not paying attention, he dipped his fingers into the glass of wine and wrote the words "I stay" on the case. He slightly covered it with his armour, so that Zhang Xin could not see it; Xu Huai went over there.
He glanced at it, nodded slightly to Deng Gui, then rolled up his sleeves and walked out of the hall.
Zhu Tong was sitting in the corner of the hall, and no one paid attention to him. He was very young and did not have much knowledge and experience. He did not have any opinions on whether the court was in war or peace, so he did not expect this scene at all.
He showed up and sat there in shock and confusion, not knowing what to do.
However, Lu Xiong stood up and inadvertently tugged on Zhu Tong's sleeve, signaling him to exit the side hall together.
…………
…………
When we came out of the palace, the sky was full of stars and moon.
Fearing that the forward generals of the Western Army would not have the guts to kill the enemy, but might secretly do something to them, Xu Huai and the others walked out of the palace without delaying in the city. They rode directly out of the city and headed for the camp at the northwest foot of Yehuang Ridge in the south of Gong County.
Go away.
Everyone reined up their horses and stopped on a hill on the north side of the camp.
In the distance, groups of figures were coming towards Yehuangling Camp under the cover of night.
These are mainly prisoners of war who escaped into the northern slope of Songshan Mountain.
Facing the troops led by Yang Qiye, Ling Jian, Han Wende and other generals, they no longer had any resistance. However, during the day, a small group of Japanese soldiers also entered Songshan Mountain, so they could only escort them back to Yehuang Ridge in batches at night.
Come to the camp.
"What a bunch of fucking cowards and idiots!"
Guo Junpuan spat fiercely, as if to spit out some of the turbid air he was holding in his chest, and shouted,
"Only sticks can drive away wolves. The Western Army won't fight one or two tough battles, so they can't beat these sons of bitches until they are sore and howling. They are negotiating for a fucking peace! At this time, they are negotiating
,no
Are you afraid that the Red Husbands are not greedy enough, or are you afraid that Hu Gouzi is not determined enough to invade the south? Why are the temples filled with such bastards..."
"Zhou He and Zheng Huaizhong are not upright, and they don't seem to have humiliated them face to face," Zhu Tong said timidly, "Now that the situation is so tense, how can we get along with each other in the future?"
Xu Huai didn't have high requirements for Zhu Tong at this time, but he was not in the mood to answer his question.
Lu Xiong sighed softly and said to Zhu Tong: "I'm afraid Wang Xiang and your father have already fallen out with Wang Yongqi and Wang Boqian in Bianliang. In fact, there is nothing left to say with these so-called peace negotiators.
Seeing that Zhu Tong was still a little confused, he smiled bitterly and said, "Besides, how can we win a good alliance without fighting in this world? We were able to make an alliance with the Khitan more than a hundred years ago, and the imperial court also fought several bloody battles with the Khitan in Weizhou and other places.
, both sides suffered numerous losses of troops and horses, which made the Khitan feel that it was difficult to swallow the Hehuai River easily, so they finally accepted the alliance..."
"I knew it would be something bad before I met Zhou He. Do you know the reason now?"
Xu Huai turned to look at everyone and said,
"These people previously thought that the Khitan was broken and could be bullied, and because of greed, they blocked their eyes. They did not know the danger of dying lips and cold teeth, and they dreamed of joining hands with the Chihu people to regain Yanyun. Now they were afraid of the power of the Chihu people and sat back and watched them invade the Hehuai River without daring to fight.
, transformed into a peace faction. After all, what remains unchanged in the bones of these people is four words: 'Bullying the weak and fearing the strong'! Underestimating the enemy and fearing the enemy are never opposites! We and these people will never urinate in the same pot.
"
"Then what should we do next?" Xu Wujiang looked at Xu Huai and asked.
"As I say, we will directly protect His Highness when he goes to Caizhou!" Guo Junpan said.
"His Highness has more ties. If he doesn't want to return to Bianliang for the time being, he can only stay in Gong County, which will help the Western Army to some extent! In addition, as I have always judged, it is impossible for the Chihu people to be in Hehuai this time
Stand still, the world has not yet reached the moment of real life and death, so when we do things, we have to leave a little room for these grandchildren,"
Xu Huai said,
"I have fallen out with people like Zhou He, Zheng Huaizhong, and Gao Chunnian, because we and Wang Xiang have always been the main war faction. We don't need to be at odds with these spineless people, and we even have to express our position openly and openly in order to win more
He is a comrade. His Highness is currently unable to take the initiative to fight with the DPRK and China, as the peace faction is too deeply involved; Duke Hu’s attitude at this time may not be too tough!"
"That guy Deng Gui is also spineless!" Guo Junpan complained.
Guo Junpan, Wang Ju and others did not pay attention to what Xu Huai said to Deng Gui in front of the North Village gate of Qingquangou Village, so they did not know that Xu Huai's original intention was to let Deng Gui stay in Jing.
Beside the king.
At this time, they saw that Deng Gui was sitting motionless in the palace and did not advance or retreat with them, and they felt somewhat dissatisfied.
Xu Huai was not going to break this point yet and said lightly: "Everyone has his own ambitions."
Deng Gui had interacted with everyone in Tongbai Mountain before, but after the bandit rebellion in Tongbai Mountain, he was transferred to the Capital Deployment Department in Xiangyang as an official. He had no contact with anyone in Tongbai Mountain, and no one regarded him as a member of Tongbai Mountain.
One member.
This time, Deng Gui also followed Hu Kai's order and led 300 Xiangyang troops to Gong County for reinforcements. Therefore, he stayed in the palace, Guo Jun judged, and Wang Ju was dissatisfied. I believe that in the eyes of Zhou He, Gao Chunnian, Zheng Huaizhong and others
