"Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's hard to say! According to rumors, Dashi is also considered a country of ten thousand chariots. It won't give up easily just because of a victory or defeat!" Wang Xun shook his head and responded with a smile.
This look was a bit like Feng Changqing's, which made Xue Jingxian couldn't help but be slightly startled. Then, he smiled and joked: "I remember that General Wang is not even twenty years old this year. Why does he seem to have lived a lot?"
Like an old fox?!"
"Really?" Wang Xun himself couldn't feel the maturity in himself that was out of proportion to his actual age. He smiled and grinned, "It's probably because the wind and sand in Anxi are strong, which makes people look older easily! Not to mention this,
The big cannibal is just focused on escaping for his life, and neither the men nor the horse can rest, so their physical strength will definitely not be sustained. Let’s chase him for a while while it’s still early in the day!”
After that, he waved to the captain Wei Feng and ordered him to lead twenty Qingqi to "assist" Su Shi, the young master of Mulu City, and escort the prisoners back to the camp for resettlement. Then he ordered Fang Ziteng to call the brothers to form a team, and Zhu Wuyi and others
He went to pull out the captured war horses, which seemed to have relatively broad frames, and kept them as spares for everyone. When everything was almost arranged, he turned his head and made an invitation gesture to Xue Jingxian, and jumped on the mounts together to set off.
.
Xue Jingxian almost watched the whole process without blinking, and his affection for Wang Xun became stronger and stronger in his heart. During the more than half a year of looking for a way in Chang'an, he had met many children of aristocratic families in social situations. However, these people were either high-minded but low-handed.
They can boast and talk about things, but when it comes to actually doing things, they can't come up with any rules. Or they just eat and wait for death without any long-term plan in mind. But someone like Wang Xun, who is humble in his treatment of others and well-organized in his work, always
You can't pick one out of a hundred.
"No wonder His Majesty treats this person differently!" Thinking of a rumor he heard when he was in Chang'an City, Xue Jingxian couldn't help but nod secretly.
It is difficult to hide any secrets in the officialdom of the capital, unless the relationship is too big and may lead to the death of someone. The matter of Wang Xun's exceptional promotion obviously does not fall into this category. Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor has not focused on a person for many years.
As a noble son, he suddenly became very fond of Wang Xun and could not help but attract the special attention of the ministers.
Therefore, even before Xue Jingxian left Chang'an, various analyzes had already made it clear. However, among all the analyses, no one guessed that the young man who was promoted as an exception did indeed have extraordinary abilities.
"If you drag him to the prince's side..." A thought occurred in his mind, and he immediately became uncontrollable. He stared at Wang Xun up and down with his eyes wide open, and he felt that he was the best choice.
Even when the horse was galloping, Wang Xun's six senses were very sharp. He noticed the strangeness in Xue Jingxian's smile, turned around, and asked curiously, "Why are you shaking your head all the time? It's not like you can't hold it anymore! Then you
But you have to hold on, risk-free chases and escapes like this don’t happen every day!”
"How can you? Xue is involved in the six arts of a gentleman."
Kill me?"
The swordsmen had followed Xue Jingxian for so long and knew that although his employer had a sharp mouth, he was actually not a bad person. They rode their horses closer to a few feet and retorted with a smile: "Your Excellency, you are making fun of us again! I don't know who it is.
I had to follow you just now!"
Xue Jingxian was in a good mood and spoke very casually, "A bunch of ungrateful people! I want to find a future for you! What's the point of being a swordsman? It's also about fighting with others. It's not as good as General Wang, who only has fame and fame.
Get it now!"
"How dare we people compare to General Wang!" The swordsmen also admired Wang Xun's martial arts. They waved their hands and loudly expressed their humility, "He is a blessing accumulated by his ancestors. Unlike me, who was born with
A life of hard work!”
"It's not fair to General Wang to say that!" Xue Jingxian couldn't bear it the most when someone talked about his bloodline. "He also won this wealth based on his ability. If you learn more, you may not be lonely forever in the future.
Unheard of!"
"Thank you for your good wishes! If there ever comes a day when the ancestral graves emit smoke, I will definitely treat you to a drink!" The swordsmen cupped their hands and smiled perfunctorily. Deep in their hearts, their desire to gain fame became much more fervent.
After chasing for more than ten miles at a lightning speed, a large group of defeated troops was found in front. After arranging people to protect Queen Xue Jingxian, Wang Xun rushed forward on his horse, raised his hammer and swept away the enemy troops blocking the horse like wheat.
The soldiers fell off their mounts. Each and every one of the defeated soldiers was so exhausted that they had no strength to resist. Most of them fled in all directions, while the other half were bitten by Fang Ziteng and Zhu Wuyi, and they were attacked one after another.
He was chopped off from behind by the horse.
As soon as the battle ended, Xue Jingxian jumped off his horse with his followers and scrambled to collect the heads of the remaining soldiers of the Big Eater. Among this wave of enemy troops, there were very few servants who had been forcibly recruited by the Big Eater. Therefore, there were only a few people.
Xue Jingxian took the initiative to surrender. Afraid that Wang Xun would divide his troops to escort the prisoners and delay everyone's time, Xue Jingxian simply took the initiative to share his worries. He led the swordsmen to chop off all the living prisoners, and tied their heads with melon seeds on the horse to make up for it.
After the battlefield was cleaned up, there were more than a few hundred good horses in the team. Although they were exhausted from running, they could slowly recover their strength by leaving their saddles empty.
Wang Xun calculated the time in his mind, and then led his brothers to chase westward without any hurry. He kept changing his mounts along the way, allowing the horses to take turns to build up their strength. Because of the proper countermeasures, his speed was not affected too much by the distance. Very quickly.
Soon, we encountered the third and fourth groups of defeated troops.
As usual, Wang Xun led the Anxi brothers to charge forward, and then Xue Jingxian was responsible for leading the people to clean the battlefield and count the harvest. In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred heads were recorded. Combined with the harvest from the previous two waves, almost every person
The participants in the battle have been able to get more than three. However, Xue Jingxian was not satisfied yet. While riding horses with Wang Xun to continue chasing the enemy's defeated troops, he suggested with a smile: "I see that all the remaining soldiers on this road have been destroyed by us."
The Anxi Army has been defeated. They have no strength to raise their swords. Next time we encounter each other, just let me lead a few people to the front to intercept, and you lead your brothers to kill from behind. Let's attack from the front and back..."
"That can't be done!" Wang Xun quickly interrupted with a smile before Xue Jingxian could finish his words. "Master Xue doesn't know something. There are many things to pay attention to in pursuing death and chasing north. You must leave the enemy some hope of escape. They
I won’t resist desperately. If you don’t even leave hope, I’m afraid the rabbit will bite you twice if it gets anxious!”
"It's up to them? So what if they fight hard?!" Xue Jingxian was full of contempt for the fighting power of the Great Eater, frowned, and did not agree with Wang Xun's statement.
"You have also seen the scene in front of the two armies today. On our Anxi side, in addition to the heavy armored infantry led by General Li, who went straight to the cannibal's central army, and the two waves of light cavalry that later came forward to support him, the casualties were greater.
In addition, the losses of other departments during the entire battle were very minimal. However, after the enemy troops began to flee for their lives, many brothers accidentally took their lives because of their eagerness to perform meritorious service."
"Hmm!" Xue Jingxian turned around and thought, the facts were indeed as Wang Xun said. In today's battle, Feng Changqing almost defeated the enemy with crossbows. The main forces of both sides did not engage in hand-to-hand combat, so of course they would not suffer anything.
losses. But after the enemy commander escaped from the battlefield, the Anxi Army was eager to expand its results, but was bitten by some dying Dashi Heijia. Although there were only a few hundred casualties, there were losses after all, giving
The previous complete victory was cast a shadow.
Feng Changqing was furious about this. In front of the entire army, he scolded several core generals who had mishandled the situation. During the subsequent pursuit and escape, Wang Xun was extremely cautious. He would rather harvest less heads than
Willing to push the enemy too hard.
At this point, this man has learned the true story of Feng Changqing. He cherishes the lives of his soldiers to death. He is not like a strong general who takes the enemy's head while talking and laughing. You must know that Gu Laici did not command an army and killed three thousand enemies.
, Losing eight hundred to oneself is a master of the art of war. To win at any cost, it should be the best choice for a general.
While he was cursing, he suddenly heard Wang Xun sighing with a smile, "Master Xue, don't you think that as long as we can block more of the enemy's troops, it's worth losing even a few brothers. But we only have so many people in the Anxi Army.
Every life is precious. Feng Shuai once said that even if one brother is exchanged for a hundred enemies, it will be a loss for us. Wang is not talented and dare not forget Feng Shuai’s advice!"
These words resonated a lot in Xue Jingxian's heart. He nodded and said loudly, "That's true! We are men of the Tang Dynasty, who are they? Just treat those words as if I didn't say them. How to fight? Everyone should listen.
It belongs to your brother Wang!”
"If we catch up a little further, it's almost time to head back." Looking up at the already setting sun, Wang Xun said with a smile, "I'm afraid all the other brothers have withdrawn their troops. Once we become a lone army, it will be our turn."
Cannibals are hunting us!"
Seeing the faint look of unwillingness on Xue Jingxian's face, he smiled and continued to add: "It must be difficult for Mr. Xue to have the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy in person in the future. Today's harvest should be attributed to Wang.
Just give it all to Mr. Xue! It’s rare for someone to come from Chang’an, so I can’t let you go back empty-handed!”
"How can this be done! No, no!" Xue Jingxian was startled by Wang Xun's generosity, and waved his hands quickly, "You are willing to let me follow you, and you have already done your best. Even if Xue doesn't know how to advance or retreat, he can't take it from you.
The credit earned by one’s life!”
"Master Xue, you don't have to be polite!" Wang Xun was determined to help the other party, and shook his head with a smile, "Beheading generals in battle, I have already done a great service. It is enough to repay the imperial court for the extraordinary promotion. Even if I chop off more enemy heads today,
It’s just the icing on the cake. Besides, Wang has just been promoted to three levels in a row. Even if he has made great contributions at this moment, where can he be promoted to an official position?"
