Chapter 1596 Life Is Like a Play...
But after a little more than a quarter of an hour, there were no more Hallelites standing at the scene.
There were less than two hundred Hari people who could escape into the mountains, but they would die of cold and wild beast attacks if they could not hold on until the spring season.
Lin Qun was watching the battle relaxedly. At this time, he rode over and said, "Master Yang, it is bitterly cold outside the Great Wall. People who are homeless will look for food everywhere. There are a lot of prey in Wuling Mountain, and they can also avoid danger." The scouts of our army at Hebao... So before the year, entry and exit were stopped at all parts of the border wall. "
These words seemed irrelevant, but Yang Rong blushed.
The garrison at Gubeikou reminded him, and even Wen Fang, who didn't understand the military, reminded him.
But Yang Rong thought that he was a veteran in the army and had rich experience, but it turned out that the old master was almost beaten to death by random punches.
"It was my negligence."
Yang Rong honestly admitted that it was his mistake, but Lin Qun'an's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Yang, more than 30% of the casualties in this Thousand Household Regiment were destroyed, and it is almost destroyed."
After saying that, he rode his horse and went to the middle of the battlefield to make arrangements for the follow-up.
But Yang Rong stared blankly at the corpses.
Someone was crying, holding his dead comrade and crying. The surrounding Ming army looked on indifferently, and then collected the corpse of his comrade.
Yang Rong looked at this scene and said bitterly: "I will go back to apologize."
…
One wrong decision can lead to countless possibilities!
The navy's carelessness had one consequence.
"His Majesty the Emperor of Chu?"
Zhu Zhanji couldn't believe his ears, and Uncle Peng Yuan, the Minister of War, who came to report, was also ashamed.
"Yes, Your Highness, a group of bandits have landed on the riverside. A local village of 100 households has been defeated, and the country gentry has fled to the city... That group of bandits claims to be the descendants of Chen Sheng, and the leader is named Meng Laosan. It is said that... he has already ascended the throne on the ship."
Uncle Peng Yuan almost wanted to hide his face and run away!
How embarrassing!
A group of fierce bandits actually appeared on the river bank of Jinling, and they actually claimed to be the emperor of Chu. Doesn't this vividly illustrate the lax defense of the place?
Zhu Zhanji frowned and said, "How many people?"
"More than three hundred people."
Zhu Zhanji glanced at Fang Xing and said, "Shall Wang Yan go there?"
"It's just killing a chicken with a knife. Why don't you let... Mr. Xianyi from Duke Wei's Mansion go there?"
"this……"
Zhu Zhanji was hesitant. He knew what Fang Xing meant: Let everyone see that the relationship between the royal family and the Xu family is good.
This is to send a signal to our colleagues: those who make progress will be reused.
But although Xu Xianyi was mature, he was not Xu Qin's son. If Zhu Di were here, he would definitely scold him for leading the army by outsiders, how ridiculous!
Fang Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "Give him a thousand-household residence, and I'll personally go and defend him."
Tsk tsk! This time even Uncle Peng Yuan couldn't help but look sideways.
Fang Xing is trying to support the Duke of Wei! And it’s a shameless endorsement.
There are more than 300 fierce bandits and more than 1,000 Ming regular troops. Even if he is a pig, as long as he doesn't open his mouth and groan, there is no reason why he can't win this battle.
But Fang Xing still felt that it was not enough and wanted to personally use the name of the devil to suppress people. Isn't this shameless?
Why is this?
Uncle Peng Yuan thought for a moment, then stopped thinking, and then waited for Zhu Zhanji's decision.
"Okay, let him go."
Zhu Zhanji made a decision. If Xu Qin could not understand the spirit, then Wei Guogong and his family deserved to be wiped out.
So when Zhu Zhanji's order arrived at the Duke of Wei's mansion,
Xu Qin dragged his sick body and summoned all the old servants of the Xu family with a glowing face.
"The Xu family hasn't been in battle for a long time. Maybe you haven't seen blood for a long time."
Xu Qin broke away from Xu Xianyi's support, straightened his back and said: "Some of you have fought for the Xu family when Emperor Taizu Gao was the emperor, and some of you fought for the late emperor in the battle of Jingnan... and were by the side of the late queen. Fighting to defend Peiping..."
There are more than a hundred servants in this group, the oldest one is gray-haired, but he is still listening to the master of the house with his head raised.
Xu Qin cupped his hands and said: "Now I can't do it anymore. You have to keep an eye on the Duke of Wei's mansion and follow Xianyi today..."
No matter how much he was encouraged, Xu Qin did not dare to say any more. He pointed to the servants and said to Xu Xianyi: "Go and live. If you lose, you can jump into the river and die. Don't come back. I won't let anyone open the door for you. If If you win a great victory, I will hold a banquet to celebrate your success.”
Xu Xianyi knelt down and said: "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will definitely not disgrace the reputation of the Duke of Wei. He will never return if he wins!"
He is a few years younger than Xu Qin, but his seniority is lower.
Xu Qin said happily: "Okay, okay! Go, I'll be waiting for you here."
Xu Qin asked someone to get chairs and put them in the front yard. He sat there and said with a smile: "Go ahead. If you win a big victory, send someone to report the news quickly."
At this time, someone came in and reported: "My lord, Uncle Xinghe is urging you outside the mansion."
When Xu Qin heard this, his smile became even brighter and he said, "Go quickly, go quickly."
After Xu Xianyi took the people away, Xu Qin leaned on the back of his chair, basking in the not too hot sun, squinting and said: "Uncle Xinghe is going to suppress the battle. The favor that my Xu family owes is not small! Let them disperse. Come on."
The housekeeper waved his hand, and after everyone had left, he whispered: "My lord, maybe you are trying to win over me!"
Xu Qin shook his head and said: "I bet this was Xing Hebo's idea. The purpose is to make the Xu family grateful and appreciate His Highness's kindness. If you don't understand this meaning, the Duke of Wei's palace will collapse in an instant."
The butler glared and said, "My lord, our family is the most distinguished relative of the country, and we are also a relative of the country. Who dares?"
Xu Qin was in such a good mood that he actually burst into laughter. The housekeeper's laughter made the housekeeper panic and quickly covered his knees with a blanket.
"You, you! When did you think this was?"
Xu Qin smiled and said: "The late emperor originally wanted to deprive the Duke of Wei of his title, and then protect Duke Ding. Do you understand?"
The housekeeper felt a buzzing in his head. Xu Qin's deeds over the years flashed through his mind one by one, and then he choked up.
"My lord, you have a reputation of being naughty and have contradicted the late emperor many times over the years. I thought you were... I didn't expect that!"
Xu Qin smiled and said: "Yes! When Jingchang was granted the title of Duke of Dingguo, the late queen knew what the late emperor meant and tried to stop him, but in the end she was still unable to defeat the late emperor. This sounded the alarm for the decline of the Duke of Wei. "
The housekeeper burst into tears and said, "How cruel the late emperor was!"
Xu Qin smiled and said: "Ever since my father rebelled against the late emperor, the fate of the Duke of Wei has actually been doomed. If it hadn't been for the death of the late emperor during the Northern Expedition, the title of Duke of Wei would have disappeared at this moment."
"If I am dedicated to serving the public and obeying the law and gaining a reputation, I will be bringing disaster upon myself."
Xu Qin was still smiling, but his eyes were a little dim.
Xu Huizu went to help Zhu Yunzhen instead of helping his relatives. This was rebellious.
What Zhu Di hated most was betrayal, so Xu Huizu had to die of depression in the end.
If he doesn't die, the Duke of Wei's family will be in trouble, let alone inheriting the title.
Xu Qin tilted his head back, looked at the sky, and said comfortably: "Since Your Highness knows the truth, then the difficulties in the Duke of Wei's mansion will be over, and my affairs as Duke of Wei will be over..."
The housekeeper was shocked by Xu Qin's acting over the years. Hearing this, he felt a little ominous and said, "Master Guo, since His Highness does not blame us and is willing to support us, then good days are coming! You should take good care of yourself, and we will Good luck lies ahead!”
"Blessing? Yes! Blessing!"
Xu Qin took a small bottle from his arms, drank the liquid inside with a smile, then looked up at the sky and murmured: "Don't make any noise. When Xianyi returns from the victory, they will say that I have been holding on for many years. I have been miserable for a long time, and it is a joy to return now..."
Boom!
When the vial fell to the ground, the butler was horrified. He quickly looked up. When he saw the small porcelain vase, his expression changed drastically and he said:
"My lord, why are you doing this? I'm going to call the imperial doctor right now!"
"return."
Xu Qin said with a smile, his voice was not loud, but he made the housekeeper turn around and kneel on the ground.
"I deserve to die. After suffering for so many years, I no longer want to live. The memorial has been written a long time ago and is on the mezzanine of the study. Remember to take it out and give it to His Highness. I..."
"My lord!"
The housekeeper sobbed: "But Young Master Xianyi is an outsider after all. The eldest Young Master is still young. Lord, you can't go!"
Xu Qin was still smiling, but two lines of tears fell from his eyes.
"I...it's time to go see...it's time to see my father..."
When Jinling City was destroyed, Xu Huizu eagerly explained the pros and cons to him, and then gave him instructions on how to deal with it before going to Xu Da's ancestral hall.
Those words passed through Xu Qin's mind again, and he felt that the vitality was slowly dissipating.
"Xianzong will be promising...I...will go..."
Xu Qin slowly let go, his eyes gradually dimming...
