Once magnificent, now brilliant

Through the interrogation of the captives of Violent Wolf, the Sichuan army also obtained a lot of useful information.According to the captives, their patriarch got all kinds of secret reports about the Dachuan Army, so the Sichuan Army couldn't take advantage of every battle.It's just that he probably didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to come out halfway, and this time it was the most miscalculated.

As for who was in contact with the patriarch, these captives did not know.But as far as the current situation is concerned, General Tiehe is more inclined towards the third prince, as are Bai Junyu and Qi Xiang.

The army is fine, and it's time to take the initiative instead of being passive, but the number of people is much smaller.So General Tiehe formulated tactics overnight, preparing to counterattack the brutal wolves.

The camp of the Violent Wolf Clan is far away from where their entire clan is stationed.They are not like Dachuan, which is a city connected to another city, and they need to break through one by one when attacking.It is much easier to go directly to the place where the wolf is stationed.But when the army moves together, the goal is too obvious, and the brutal wolf army is not stupid.

So after deliberation, Qi Xiang led the pathfinding soldiers to detour into the Violent Wolf Clan, and threatened them with hostages in exchange for the Violent Wolf's surrender.This is the quickest and easiest, but also the most difficult.How to avoid being noticed by the brutal wolves is indeed a problem.

To be on the safe side, Bai Junyu will also follow Qi Xiang, Bai Junyu has already engraved the sand table in his heart, which way is faster, he knows better than Qi Xiang.

As for the army, they can pretend to attack to divert the attention of the Lilang army, so that Qi Xiang and the others can cross the mountain.At the same time, they still have Shizhou's special smoke canisters available, but the smoke must be used with caution, otherwise it will hurt the enemy by one thousand and damage eight hundred, but it is impossible for Shizhou to do it in a short time There is an antidote to smoke that can be taken by the entire army, so as long as it can deter and divert attention, the primary goal is to get out of the body, and there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Qi Xiang also has his own principles, even if he goes around to catch hostages, he will never hurt innocent old and weak women and children, only to achieve his own goals.Whether it is massacres or indiscriminate killings, it is evil to Qi Xiang.He would not let himself be such a villain, just like he killed all the people who killed Liang Fu, even if the hatred in his heart could not disappear, even if he wanted to implicate him, he did not really touch the women of those people at all.Some people may say, like a father, like a son, and if it stays, it will be a disaster, but who can say that a son must be filial to his father?Later generations will ask for this justice. He is not the governor, so he is unwilling to judge these things.

Before setting off, Bai Junyu helped Qi Xiang tidy up his clothes, "It's cold in the mountains, you should wear more."

They were going up the hill, which meant that they could not ride horses, but only on foot.

"It's enough." Qi Xiang didn't think that the more travels the better, and it would be more comfortable to travel lightly.

"Where's the water? Is it enough?"

"Enough, there are mountain springs on the mountain, which can be replenished."

Bai Junyu asked a lot of questions, and finally he was sure that there was nothing to worry about, so he set off.

In the palace, the queen was locked in her own palace, and the third prince was imprisoned.The Third Prince's Mansion was raided, and Zuo Xiang's Mansion was also searched.The emperor also cared about Peng Ji's face, and since Prime Minister Zuo was dead, he didn't want to get a bad reputation. Even if he knew of Prime Minister Zuo's collusion with the third prince, he didn't mean to search Zuo Xiang's mansion thoroughly. Zuo Xiang, who exposed the behavior of the third prince, left the last dignity.

And this investigation doesn't matter, there are too many correspondences found, as well as various embezzlement accounts.

After reading these, the emperor's face turned purple, and he also began to think about abolishing the empress.

Zuo Xiang is a meticulous person, and many letters were probably kept for later use, so they were not destroyed.Just like the matter of Qi Yi, he also wondered why Rong Li wanted to harm Qi Yi.In these letters, he learned that Rong Wei took a large sum of money in bribes at that time, and one of the officials who participated in it had already been arrested. Bigger things overwhelm this matter and make big things smaller.

It was also at that time that the incident with the fifth prince happened to erupt.The fifth prince colluded with the general back then and was exposed for hoarding troops privately. As an emperor, he was already afraid of this.It was also to scare the chickens and monkeys, so the fifth prince and the general were executed quickly.At that time, people in the court could not help but feel fluctuating, and those who had friendship with the general, even if they did not hoard private soldiers, everyone would be in danger

.At that time, Qi Yi had the military power in his hands, and Rong Wei was also afraid that the fire of the fifth prince would burn him, and in order to better cover up the matter of bribery, he made such a decision-kill Qi Yi and wipe out the entire army .

But Rong Li made this step ruthlessly, but he succeeded.The matter of Qi Yi became Da Chuan's biggest matter.The officials who took bribes were also hastily executed, which did not cause much controversy, which was exactly what Rong Li wanted.At the same time, he also cleared his connection with the people in the army. Even if Qi Yi knew about Rong Li, he would have no choice but to speak up.Rong Lie is still the third prince who has not accepted bribes and has no military power, the emperor still wants to use him.

The emperor sighed, "Li Dian, how do you think I raised such a son?"

Not only disappointed, but also shocked and chilled.For the sake of the throne, the third prince can be said to be unscrupulous. Fortunately, this child is not smart enough, otherwise, would he, the emperor, be plotted by the third prince to die early?

Eunuch Li lowered his eyes and comforted, "Your Majesty, you still have the eldest prince and the fourth prince."

"Yeah, it's good that I don't need to worry about these two children." The emperor squeezed his brows, "Qi Yi's death has other secrets, and now it seems that Qi Xiang was the one who was tricked the most. Ruo Qi Nothing happened in Yi, Qi Xiang is probably already an official in the court now."

Eunuch Li thought about it and said: "It doesn't matter what you do to win the emperor's appreciation. You were the one who pardoned the world back then, and Mr. Qi was able to return to Beijing. Mr. Qi must still be grateful to you."

The emperor shook his head, "I call myself a Mingjun, but I don't want to be deceived sometimes."

Eunuch Li said: "Your Majesty, don't think too much about it. It was Qi Yi who formed a party and ended up like this. I can't blame others."

The emperor seemed to be appeased, "That's right. It is inevitable to form a faction between the court and the central government, but if you follow the wrong person, you will not be punished. It just hurts the child, and it is not a good father."

"The emperor is right."

The emperor pointed to the letters on the table, "Let's sort it out and send it to Qi Xiang. He also has the right to know the cause of Qi Yi's death."

"Yes, the slave will do it well."

General Tiehe and Bai Junyu cooperated with each other tacitly, and the people on Qi Xiang's side were good at spying, so it didn't take much effort to get to the residence of the Violent Wolf Clan.

The remaining members of the Violent Wolf Clan are basically old and weak women and children, and only a few middle-aged men are guarding them. This is an easy task for the Qi Xiangs.They quickly attacked and caught them by surprise. They captured the son of the Lu wolf clan patriarch who was born not long ago and some children.

And those middle-aged men got down one by one before they could send a signal.Qi Xiang still left half of the guards behind, and they can retreat only after the matter is completed.As long as the Violent Wolf Clan doesn't send anyone to look back, they won't find any problems.

Regardless of Okawa or foreigners, children are especially valued, especially boys, who are even more precious.With the children as hostages, the Brutal Wolf clan was quite passive in the fight. In addition, they were actively attacked by the Dachuan army several times, and they hadn't fully recovered yet, and they were in a mess in the end.

General Tiehe didn't ask the opponent to surrender. Even if he surrendered today, he could fight again tomorrow. Even if he signed a non-war agreement, he could tear it up.All he wanted were the letters from traitors and collaborators. Only by putting this last straw, the third prince would have no way out and be worthy of the dead soldiers.

The foreigner had always looked down on the contract, especially if it came for profit, so he readily agreed to exchange the letter for the child and voluntarily surrendered.

"Heh, it's rare, you wolf tribe sometimes avoids fighting." General Tiehe sneered.

The head of the Lulang wolf clan didn't feel any pain in his face, and said: "One moment, another moment, the future will last forever. Your smoke fascination is too strong, and our clan can't recover for several days. The odds of winning are too low."

"You can't fight today, and you can't fight tomorrow!" General Tiehe said solemnly.

"Then let's watch it at that time. Anyway, I like the mountains and rivers of your big rivers. As long as I live, I will occupy a piece of the sky sooner or later!" The leader of the wolf clan laughed arrogantly, exchanged letters and his son with General Tiehe, and waved his arms. , "Boys, withdraw!"

General Tiehe naturally did not go after him, war always has two sides.

The Violent Wolf Clan is staring at Okawa, and other groups will be staring at Okawa, and even the Violent Wolf Clan.The presence of the Violent Wolf is an enemy and a barrier for Dachuan. At least the distant groups want to come, and it is also a guarantee for Dachuan to pass the level of the Vicious Wolf.

Back in the military tent, General Tiehe took out the letter, and several people read it separately.

The fact is not as they expected, but it is even more shocking than expected—it is not the third prince, but the eldest prince who is in contact with the wild wolf.

Judging from the contents of this letter, the First Prince intends to negotiate peace on behalf of Dachuan after the Violent Wolf Clan takes over the city of Dachuan. At that time, the Violent Wolf Clan will return the city and let him make this great contribution.When he becomes emperor in the future, he will form a good state with the Violent Wolf Clan forever and benefit each other, so that the Violent Wolf Clan can also live in a stable life.

General Tiehe frowned, "I heard that the eldest prince is very popular with the emperor, so why bother?"

Bai Junyu put the letter back on the table, "The Eldest Prince's body can't make military achievements, and it's always worse to fight for the throne without military achievements. So it's normal to want to use this kind of sideways method. And since the Eldest Prince was ill last time, the Emperor has been very angry with you. The First Prince didn't talk about everything like before, and the First Prince probably felt uneasy, so he thought of this extreme method."

"What you said is also reasonable." General Tiehe felt that this matter was also tricky, so he said: "This letter should be secretly handed over to the emperor, and the emperor will deal with it. We will not participate."

"That's good. We can breathe a sigh of relief now that the Violent Wolf Clan doesn't want to fight any more. As military commanders, we have too many things to do in peace, which makes the emperor afraid."

"That's right. I'll arrange for people to do it. You take people to hunt for some food and come back. Let's have a barbecue tonight to celebrate." This is a tradition in the army, at least it is a tradition in his army.

"Yes. I'll go see General Peng first, and then lead someone to hunt."

General Tiehe nodded. If he was Peng Ji, his heart would be half cold. "Now that the left minister is gone, even though Peng Ji doesn't say anything, he must be feeling uncomfortable. Even if the imperial edict is not issued, he can't go back to Beijing. This kind of excitement If he doesn't want to participate in the matter, let it be done by the kitchen alone."

There is no way to do this. During the war, everything is focused on the war.So many soldiers missed important family events because of this, there is really no way.

"Yes, I'll make arrangements."

Neither Bai Junyu nor Qi Xiang had a good impression of Prime Minister Zuo, but it's hard to say anything when a person dies like a lamp goes out.As for Peng Ji, they didn't have any objections, so they wouldn't talk about it randomly.

The war ended, and the border town returned to calm.There are also more people coming out of the stall in the morning and evening, and everything is going well.

Bai Junyu finally had time to spend more time with Qi Xiang.

The two walked back from the barracks. In the city without a curfew, even at night, as long as the fighting stopped, there would still be many people walking around.It's not too abrupt for the two of them to be caught in it.

"After a while, I'm going to disband the Pathfinders. The matter is over, and they should have their lives," Qi Xiang said.For the rest of what he wants to ask, he can ask the third prince.

"What if they don't want to leave?" Bai Junyu felt that he had to make two preparations.

Qi Xiang chuckled, "Who would want to live in the shadows for the rest of their lives?"

"There are always people who have no worries and nowhere to go."

Qi Xiang was silent for a while, "It depends on how they choose. If they follow me, I will let them stay in Qi Zhai. Those who want to leave can also go their own way. If anyone wants to return to the army, you can see Can it be arranged to join Uncle's army, if not, that's fine."

"What's so difficult about this? There is a shortage of people in the army every year, and the court doesn't like frequent conscription. They usually sign up voluntarily. If they really want to, it's the best way to arrange for my father, so you can rest assured." Bai Junyu didn't want to mention The most important thing is that the army suffered serious casualties this time, and it is inevitable that recruits will be needed, and better arrangements will be made at that time.

"Then let's see what happens then." Qi Xiang looked at the bright moonlight, and walked with Bai Junyu at a leisurely pace, "I'm going back to Beijing in a few days."

"Not with me?" Bai Junyu always thought that Qi Xiang would return to Beijing with him.

Qi Xiang laughed, "I came here secretly, and I asked Steward Pan to help me deal with it, saying that I went out to buy medicine with Master. Didn't I reveal my secret when I went back with you?"

Even if there's nothing wrong with it, there's no need to make such a fuss, "It's just that when I go back, I can help you send a message to your uncle and aunt, so that they can feel at ease."

"That's fine." One more thing is worse than one less thing, "I think the imperial decree to return to Beijing is coming soon, you can wait for me at Qi Mansion after you go back."

There is no need to pretend anymore, Qi Xiang should of course move back to Qi's house.

"Okay." Qi Xiang took two quick steps and looked back at him, "I'll sweep the bed then and wait."
