Chapter 2153 scares you to death
The chiefs of Tiele tribes present were really shocked by Xiao Rui's murderous words.
There is no other way, I am really afraid of being killed by Fang Jun, lest this trustworthy guardian who looks gentle and gentle will also kill without batting an eye...
The Tang army was already strong, and its firearms were almost invincible. What's more, today's Tiele tribes are scattered and have their own plans, and they are no longer the same monolith as before. In such a situation, each one was independent and divided, who would dare to risk the disapproval of the world and rebel against the Tang Dynasty?
Whoever rebels in the front will have "compatriots" from the Tiele tribes in the back willing to serve as pawns of the Tang army, attack him, and then annex his tribesmen, cattle and sheep...
Not to mention that Xue Yantuo's more than 100,000 elite soldiers and warriors were massacred by the Tang army in two consecutive battles at Nuozhenshui and Zhaoxincheng. They had long since lost their strength and strength.
At least until they regain their strength, they are all begging for mercy...
Xiao Rui gave these previously unruly barbarians a warning, and the effect was extraordinary.
Fang Jun looked at the trembling chiefs and commanders, laughed, and said: "Most of the governors have traveled thousands of miles, and it is raining continuously. They must be exhausted from the journey. Come on, let's go back to Yudujun Mountain. I have already prepared a banquet. Protect Dadu and wash away the dust.”
Everyone hurriedly said yes together and showed great respect.
Xiao Rui smiled bitterly.
Isn't it just that people are trapped and horses are exhausted?
If I hadn't persevered with all my strength, I would have jumped off the horse right now and just lay down in the muddy water and slept, no matter if the sky fell...
But he couldn't refuse Fang Jun's proposal, and he didn't want to show his timidity in front of Fang Jun and be regarded as a arrogant playboy.
He had no choice but to agree happily with tears in his eyes, bite his gums, cross the ruins of Zhao Xincheng, and continue north.
*****
The banquet was filled with wine and wine, and the atmosphere was lively.
Xiao Rui, however, almost kept his eyes open and persisted until the end. As a result, his body was extremely exhausted and he was already overdrawn. In addition, he drank a lot of wine. After the banquet was over, he dived into the camp and fell asleep without even taking a shower.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning the next day that I woke up groggily, and took a comfortable hot bath under the service of the soldiers. My body felt as if it had shed a layer of skin and gained a new life. Not all children of the Tang Dynasty's aristocratic families were dandies. Even dandies would be taught by martial arts masters from an early age to learn swords, guns and sticks. In this era, there is no such thing as a "literary and weak scholar". What scholars pursue is "the ability to stabilize the state through literature and the ability to rule the country through military force" and "to be a general and prime minister with both civil and military skills."
He lived a good life, had sufficient nutrition, and had excellent physical fitness. In addition, Xiao Rui was relatively restrained and had not been drained by alcohol and sex. Therefore, although he was exhausted yesterday, he recovered more than half of his energy when he woke up.
I drank a big bowl of white porridge and two big steamed buns with dried meat, and then I burped.
After the meal, I walked to the window holding a big teacup in my hand and looked at the still light rain outside the window. In the distance, there were vast green mountains, vast grasslands, and a strip of white Anhou water, which filled the air of Mobei. The earth, heaven and earth are lonely, and the surrounding fields are vast and sparse.
"Has Fang Erlang been here before?"
"I came here in the morning, but when I saw you were still sleeping Dalang, I hurriedly left with a few soldiers."
"Do you know where it is going?"
"It seems like I am going hunting in the mountains."
Xiao Rui nodded and took a sip of hot tea.
Yesterday at the banquet, I heard Bazhuo and others mentioning that it is now the time for deer migration. Countless deer herds are migrating north from the desert land, and even heading north along both sides of the vast sea, all the way to the bitter cold in the extreme north. land. Then when winter comes, they return in groups to the warm desert south to spend the winter.
Just like wild geese...
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of horse hoofs. A small group of cavalry galloped from a distance along the north bank of Anhou Water. It didn't take much effort to reach the camp at the foot of the mountain.
The scouts guarding the camp did not stop them, and allowed the small group of cavalry to march straight in, bypassing countless white cloud-like tents, and came directly outside the main tent.
"Call——"
After tightening the reins, the war horse stood up with a long neigh. The knights wearing bamboo hats and raincoats immediately jumped off the horse with great skill without stepping on the stirrups.
"Bang!"
A dead wild deer was thrown to the ground, and Xue Rengui's voice sounded: "Take it, clean it up, and roast it for lunch!"
"Here!"
Two soldiers came forward, carried the wild deer and left quickly.
Xiao Rui opened the window and shouted: "Erlang, Rengui, come in quickly to rest and drink hot tea!"
The strong young man at the head opened his bamboo hat, revealing a face that was obviously darker due to the wind and frost in Mobei. He grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth.
It's Fang Jun...
When Fang Jun and Xue Rengui entered the camp one after another, Xiao Rui wiped the rain from his head and face with the handkerchief handed over by the soldiers. Xiao Rui sat at the table and made tea with his own hands, complaining: "Why go hunting and playing around in this weather? This ghost There is a lack of medical treatment in the place. Once you catch the cold, you may be in trouble.”
Fang Jun didn't take it seriously, wiped his hands and face, and walked directly to Xiao Rui. He sat down carelessly, his back was like a loose tree, and his expression was full of energy: "If you stay for a long time, you will know that the most terrifying thing is not the bitter cold or disease, but Lonely. There are no restaurants, no teahouses, no gambling houses, and even because of the military order, we are not allowed to raise maids in the army. It's hard to sleep... That feeling, tsk tsk! It will drive you crazy in two months! Unless you like men's style... By then, you will find any way to have fun, go up the mountain and fish in the river. , as long as it can release loneliness and kill time, you can think of anything, otherwise you will have to go crazy! ”
Xiao Rui was stunned.
Thinking about how many years he would have to carry him in this place, he felt a chill.
As a result, Fang Jun took a sip of the tea handed over by Xiao Rui, exhaled contentedly, and said with a sad look on his face: "Back then, the Xiongnu Chanyu exiled Su Wu to shepherd sheep in Beihai, and even gave him a wife of a barbarian. We guard the herds on behalf of heaven, but we dare not violate military discipline at all. The passion of a hot-blooded man has nowhere to vent. It is really the first-class hard work in the world!"
Xiao Rui's face turned paler...
Although he has always been quite self-disciplined, apart from Princess Xiangcheng, there are still several concubines in his house. Marching thousands of miles along the way made him exhausted, so he didn't have much impulse. But if he settled down later, how would he spend this lonely night?
Most Protectors serve for three to five years... How the hell do you survive this?
I'm afraid that by the time we return to Chang'an, our troops will be depleted due to the long separation of battles, and Xiongfeng will no longer be embarrassed...
Xue Rengui on the side lowered his head to drink tea, hiding the cracked corners of his mouth that could not be suppressed, but still slowly shrugged his shoulders a few times.
This Fang Erlang is so bad...
Because of Xiao Siye's incident, Fang Jun probably doesn't like anyone in the Xiao family now, so he would not let go if he could tease Xiao Rui to vent his anger.
Women are not allowed in the army. It is a military rule and no one is allowed to violate it at any time. But the Hanhai Protectorate is not only a military camp, but also the administrative center of Mobei. Military and political affairs are in one hand, but military discipline cannot be used to restrict everything.
What's more, this place is in Mobei, thousands of miles away from Chang'an. The emperor doesn't care whether you can get two orchids to solve it?
But looking at Xiao Rui's pale face, he obviously believed it...
Fang Jun was obviously too involved in the drama, but still looked sad: "How miserable are these days? Listen to my advice and ask those Hu merchants to get some scriptures early and study them day and night. Not only can you cultivate your moral character, but also your temperament. If you can also control your desires, treat these few years as a monk, cut off the worldly world, and wait until you return to Chang'an to return to your hometown, the swallows return to their nests, and the fish return to the sea..."
Xiao Rui shivered.
How many years have you been a monk?
It seems pretty good. When we were in Chang'an, we liked Buddhist scriptures...
If I had known this, whoever came here would have had to do this job even if I had to sacrifice my own legs!
Not wanting to continue on this tragic topic, Xiao Rui hurriedly asked: "I am able to come to Mobei this time only because of Silang. I must make some achievements, otherwise how can I cope with Silang's spirit in heaven? But now Brother Yu has a dark eye on the matter in Mobei, and he hopes that Erlang will not hesitate to teach him..."
"Wait a minute!"
Fang Jun raised his hand to stop Xiao Rui's words and asked in surprise: "What did you say thanks to Shiro? Who is Shiro? Which Shiro?"
Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment and said curiously: "Of course it's my fourth son, Xiao Siye. If he and Erlang hadn't set up a plan to go deep into the tiger's den and risk death, and finally won the great victory over Zhao Xincheng, how could I be in charge of this vast sea capital? The protector of the mansion? ”
Fang Jun's eyes widened: "Xiao Siye? Going deep into the tiger's den? Still in 'death'?"
Is it my tinnitus?
Or has this world traveled through time again? (End of chapter)
