Chapter 67 64

When Xie Qing was still ill, the Huns launched their first attack since the last attack on Langya City failed.

The Huns couldn't hold back, and the reason for wanting to fight to the death was simple: winter was coming.

The Great Zhou Dynasty could rely on its strong national strength to support a long supply line, but the Xiongnu did not have this capital.Their wishful thinking was originally to grab the grain for the winter and run away. It would be better if they could grab a piece of land; but they didn't expect that stealing chickens would not cost them a lot of rice, but they lost Langya City and killed many elites in vain.

Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, the Huns have no food or grass, and no matter whether they are humans or horses, they are almost unable to survive.The leaders of the seven tribes of the Xiongnu felt that they couldn't go on like this, so they hit it off, and Chen Bing rushed down to start the first round of attack.

Itami originally disagreed.First, the Zhou army waited for work with ease; second, the morale of the Huns was low, needless to say about food, weather and other reasons.It's a pity that his prestige is greatly reduced now, and no one listens to what he says.Later, King Cangli and the High Priest conspired openly to put Yidan under house arrest until the Huns were defeated without any suspense.

In the final battle, Du Zhengze, Sima Tong, Wei Zhi, and the local veterans Su Anshi, Shen Buyi, and even Xin Wan went to the battlefield, so it can be said that they were not prepared.Xie Qing was lying alone, and was not allowed to go anywhere under repeated orders.After they left, Xie Qing begged Yu Changqing to get him a horse, took Yu Changqing and Xin Wan's [-] dead soldiers, and walked out of the city without making a sound.

They are far from the main battlefield.Xie Qing has not recovered from his illness, his face is so pale that blue blood vessels can be seen; he is wearing a brocade hat and ermine fur, with a horse and a sword, he looks like a wealthy man, even his horse is dressed more like a soldier than he is .

The group of people had nothing to do, just stood in the dry grass, couldn't be more stupid; Xie Qing's horse digged in the grass for a long time, but found that there was nothing to eat, snorted in disappointment, and used it as if to vent its anger. He raised his front hoof.

Thanks to Yu Changqing's quick hands and quick eyes, Xie Qing was not thrown off by it.

In the distance, the yellow sand was all over the sky, and one could vaguely tell that the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing.Yu Changqing was not sure what Xie Qing was up to.Let's say it's watching the battle, but the watchers don't stand so far away; let's say it's an ambush, the ambush is not so conspicuous.Mr. Xie just hugged the horse's neck to ensure that he would not fall off, and he didn't care where his horse was going. Yu Changqing felt that he had never seen such a worry-free general of the three armies.

After staying like this for about half an hour, the direction of the battlefield has faintly died down, and the battle is probably coming to an end.Only then did Xie Qing pretend to be doing something.He stopped the horse and stopped it from running around, and the man sat upright.

It's just that none of the fleeing Xiongnu soldiers passed in this direction, and they didn't know who Xie Qing was showing to.

After a long time, Yu Changqing gradually heard the sound of horseshoes approaching from a distance; after a while, a team of about 4000 people appeared within sight.

Yu Changqing's scalp was numb.There were only 500 of them, and even if these 500 were among the best, they would never be the opponents of the [-] Hun cavalry.

Xie Qing wasn't nervous at all, with the words "it's time to wait" written all over his face, he gave an order: "Stop them!"

Yu Changqing felt that none of what Xie Qing did today was reliable.He was about to speak out to stop him, but the dead soldiers who had been well-trained to enforce the order had already acted according to the order.

It was Itami who came.

In fact, he saw Xie Qing wandering on the grassland from a long distance away.Youdao is that the enemy is extremely jealous when they meet, and most of his end is thanks to Xie Qing.But obviously now is not the time to care about these shitty things, Itami doesn't want to talk to him, anyway, the future will be long.

But Xie Qing asked someone to stop him.

Sometimes Yidan can't understand how Xie Qing's brain grows, and how he can do such unexpected things every time.In fact, Yidan didn't want to talk to Xie Qing at all, because he was afraid that he couldn't help it, and he would try his best to encircle and suppress these 500 people to vent his hatred.

Yu Changqing watched Xie Qing ignore Yidan's eyes of wanting to cramp and skin him, and rode his horse unhurriedly to Yidan, and greeted with a smile, "Are you alright?"

Yidan snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Xie Qing, you are so brave, you dare to send it to your door!"

Xie Qing smiled indifferently, and said: "What are you afraid of, Qing and Da Shanyu have no grievances in the past and have no enmity in the near future, and I came here today just to have a few words with Da Shanyu, not to block the way The villain, what is Qing afraid of?"

Yidan really didn't know how Xie Qing had the audacity to say "no injustice in the future, no injustice in the near future", so he had to look at him with admiration.He didn't want to talk nonsense with Xie Qing, so he turned his horse and prepared to go around him.

Xie Qing hurriedly patted his horse to stop Yidan, and said nonchalantly, "Don't rush away, Da Shanyu, Qing hasn't said anything yet."

Yidan took a deep breath to ensure that he would not lose his grace and curse: "Xie Qing, get out of the way! I have nothing to say to you!"

"No no no, Da Shanyu's words are wrong. Qing and Da Shanyu hit it off right away, but accidentally caused a lot of trouble with you, and I feel really sorry." Xie Qing smiled like a cunning fox, "Da Mo is sad in winter, Da Shanyu doesn't have a lot of money in the near future. Fortunately, Qing has some savings, so why don't I buy some food and fodder for you to do my best, what do you think?"

Yidan could not figure out that Xie Qinghui would do such a trick after all his calculations, so he looked suspiciously at the person in front of him.With a sincere face, Xie Qing let him look at him openly, and looked back at each other without showing any weakness.

After a long time, Yidan asked in a deep voice: "Xie Qing, what is your purpose for doing this?"

Xie Qing waved his hand, and said hypocritically: "Qing said, when Qing and Jun saw each other, they fell in love with each other, and couldn't bear to see the tiger fall into the flat sun, and the dragon trapped in the shallow abyss, that's why..."

"Xie Qing, do you think I don't know what you have in mind?" Yidan interrupted him angrily, "You just want to see the civil strife in our Huns, so you can just reap the benefits!"

Xie Qing was not annoyed that his little thoughts were exposed.He laughed, and without blinking his eyelids, he took advantage of the opportunity to compliment Itan: "Da Shanyu is worthy of being a hero, and he is a clean-up guy. It's just that if Qing doesn't help Da Shanyu, Da Shanyu will let those who Is the young boy riding on your head?"

When Yidan left, he took a lot of food and grass from Xie Qing. He roughly estimated that if he saved some food, it would be barely enough for his people to survive the severe winter.When he passed by Xie Qing, he said to Xie Qing in a low voice: "Xie Qing, although you have no good intentions, I, Yidan, still accept your love. When you and I face each other in the future, I will let you live .”

When Yidan couldn't help but look back, Xie Qing was still there.Seeing him turn around, he waved to him gracefully.

After Xie Qing returned to the city, Xin Wan went crazy looking for him.Seeing that although Xie Qing was frozen stiff, she finally came back safe and sound, she was somewhat relieved.While asking for hot water for Xie Qing, she quickly stuffed a heater into his arms and helped him into the house.

Xie Qing's lips were blue, and he trembled for a long time before he could say a word: "It's too cold, I want to go back to Chang'an."

Xin Wan had a look of resentment, and blamed: "If you are willing to stay in the house, can you be so cold?" Seeing Xie Qing's frozen stupid look, she couldn't help feeling a little pity, Sighed: "Forget it, the war here is over, we will probably be able to go back soon."

But unfortunately, after more than half a month, Xie Qing finally set off on his way home.The reason is that after he went out of the city to toss around that day, he had a high fever that night, and the temperature finally subsided after tossing until noon the next day.The chief general was too sick to walk, so he had to recuperate the whole army. Xie Qing was sickly bedridden for half a month, and finally he was able to ride a car.

"Changqing, what happened recently? You always seem to be a little unhappy." Yu Changqing accompanied Xie Qing in the car, and when the two chatted, Xie Qing asked.

During Xie Qing's illness, every time Yu Changqing visited him, he always looked worried.Xie Qing was sick and didn't bother to ask, this time he finally got better, so he started talking about it.

Yu Changqing hesitated to speak, and repeated several times before hesitatingly asked: "Huaifang, you privately indulged the Xiongnu Shanyu, this is a serious crime."

Xie Qing smiled indifferently when he heard the words, and said: "So you are worried about this. Changqing, you are so smart, how can you not see my intention?"

Shan Yu's headquarter declined, so that King Cangli and the high priest dared to put him under house arrest openly.Yidan can be regarded as a hero, how could he tolerate his subordinates offending him like this?Therefore, once he gets over this breath, he must make a comeback, how can this matter be resolved?

As long as there is a little confusion, the Xiongnu's civil strife is just around the corner, or it is unknown how many parts it will be divided into.At that time, a few Shanyu fighting in the nest will not be enough, where will there be leisure time?

Yu Changqing naturally understands the truth, but what worries him is something else.

Xie Qing made great achievements this time, after returning to the court, he will be rewarded generously, and his position and ministers are just around the corner.His prestige in the army has risen, and after the death of the Empire, the three armies seem to respect him.However, military power has always been a taboo for the monarch, and he must guard against it when nothing happens.Once the matter of Xie Qing's private indulgence of Da Shanyu is known to others, even if the emperor thinks about his past affection, he will still trust him, but isn't there a word called human words to be feared?

Xie Qing raised his body slightly, and added a pinch of green hills to his favorite Jinbo Mountain Stove, and the light and long-lasting fragrance gradually permeated the entire carriage.Xie Qing closed his eyes, took a deep breath intoxicated, and said softly: "Whether he knows or not, I have already done this; I will admit whatever he thinks when I go back."
