I’m The King Chapter 895: :Huanghuang Hanwei (20)

The cold wind is howling, snowflakes are dancing in the air, and the whole world is ruled by white. A few days ago, the remnants of a series of tragic wars that took place here have been completely covered by snow, and no trace can be seen anymore. The road On the side, there is a small post station, in which ten soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army are stationed, but nearly twenty horses are raised. This is a post station for the Eastern Expedition Army to deliver letters.

Wang Pei was wrapped in a thick cloak, sitting in the post station, accompanied by a civil servant under the command of Ye Zhen from Tianhe County, this time Wang Pei was ordered by Tian Fucheng to go to Jishi City to see Gao Yuan .

Tian Fucheng brazenly led his troops back to Qi at the beginning, because he was certain that Laozi Tian Dan would be defeated. However, Yuan Yuan was prepared for a long time, mobilized the whole country, denounced him as a traitor, and blamed all the reasons for the defeat of this war on him, which caused his reputation in the country to plummet, and he almost became a traitor that everyone shouted and beat. Cheng was startled and furious. Fortunately, neither Wang Pei nor Huo Siwei knew that after boarding his boat, unless they followed suit and won the final victory, they would all end badly. With the experience of these two With the help of rich generals, relying on the nearly 70,000 troops in his hands, Tian Fucheng went to Jimo, Gaotang, and the two capitals, and finally had his own territory.

But even so, the precious time is passing by day by day. After winning these two territories, the previous lightning strike is no longer effective, and the civil war in Qi has gradually fallen into a stalemate. Tian Yuanyuan stabilized the two capitals of Linzi and Pinglu, and the other capital, Ju, is now in danger due to the invasion of the Chu people. Tian Yuanyuan tried his best, but he only controlled about half of the territory.

Qi is basically divided into two parts.

The battle has come to a standstill, but Tian Fucheng is not afraid. His men are all elite soldiers, far from being comparable to the army that Tian Yuanyuan put together impromptu. Opponents, the problem is that Tian Yuanyuan is also very aware of this problem. He will not confront Tian Fucheng head-on. As a result, rebellions broke out in the area ruled by Tian Fucheng.

Compared to these, Tian Dan is not only still alive, but also the Zhengdong Army is more tolerant of him, which makes Tian Fucheng even more frightened. If the Zhengdong Army reaches some agreement with Tian Dan and releases Tian Dan Also, Tian Fucheng is sure that his own downfall will be in an instant. Outsiders may not understand Tian Dan's huge influence in Qi, but as a son, he knows it clearly.

The most hateful thing is that those who once opposed Tian Dan, but Tian Dan had many scruples and did not kill them, were completely killed by Tian Yuanyuan during this chaos.

The war reached a stalemate, Tian Fucheng sent Wang Pei to Jishi City to meet Gao Yuan, with only one purpose, that is, not to put Tian Dan back, even if he had to pay for it, of course, it would be best if the general of Zhengdong Army It's best if Tian Dan is killed.

Wang Pei held the pottery cup in his hand, hot water vapor came out from the mouth of the cup, and the palm of his hand was also warm, staring at the burning firewood in front of him, but in his heart Wang Pei did not report too much for this mission Big hope.

This is what he sent to his door to be blackmailed by the other party! Wang Pei sighed in his heart. It is impossible for Zhengdong Army to let Tian Dan go back. This is the unanimous opinion of Wang Pei and Huo Siwei. The ending he wanted to see most, but Tian Fucheng was terrified because Tian Jingwen and 5,000 soldiers were suddenly released by the Zhengdong Army. These 5,000 people did not come back with bare hands, but were sent back fully armed by the Zhengdong Army's collection of ships From Qi State, this army returned to Qi State, which made Tian Yuanyuan's momentum soar. This is why Wang Pei's trip.

Zhengdong Army will never release Tian Dan back, but it will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to blackmail both sides. Wang Pei thought helplessly, this trip will depend on how much appetite Zhengdong Army has.

"My lord, add some hot water!" The soldier in the post house lifted the iron kettle for boiling water from the fire, and said to Wang Pei.

"Thank you!" Wang Pei raised his head, looked at the soldier who was blind in one eye and limped in one leg, and put the pottery cup in his hand on the ground. The pension is very generous, and now it seems that it is not a lie. If in Qi State, such a wounded and disabled soldier would have been sent home long ago, but now, this person has obviously been well settled.

"My lord came from Tianhe. I heard that Jicheng is prosperous. I don't know if it is true or not? I have never been to Jicheng in my life!" Sitting down, looked at Wang Pei and asked with a smile.

"Jicheng has suffered a lot from the war, but it is the capital of Yan after all, so it is natural to be prosperous." Wang Pei replied with a smile.

"That's good, that's good!" The old soldier laughed, "Our governor is going to Jicheng, if it becomes a mess there, the old governor will definitely be unhappy."

"Governor Gao is General Zhengdong, a subordinate of King Yan. He won't go to Jicheng, will he?" Wang Pei asked tentatively. "Won't the Zhengdong Army welcome King Yan back?"

The veteran was a little annoyed when he heard this, and looked at Wang Pei sideways, "Where did this lord come from? Didn't we enlist the Eastern Army?"

Wang Pei coughed a few times, "It is true that I am not a member of the Zhengdong Army. This time, I am going to Jishi City for business." The eyelids, the eyes watching the nose, the nose watching the heart, it seems that they didn't hear them talking here.

"No wonder, if you are also in the Eastern Army, I will beat you to death." The veteran said resentfully. "What is Ji Ling? Thanks to him, he wanted the life of our governor wholeheartedly. The most unforgivable thing is that he was able to throw the capital to the people of Qi. I pooh-poohed his grandma, and finally ran away, not even his wife. Your Majesty, you have lost all our face, what is the use of coming here! Now we are only thinking of the high governor to go to Jicheng, and it would be best to be the king."

Wang Pei had a series of dry coughs again. He didn't want to discuss this issue with the veteran in front of him. Seeing his indignation, he changed the subject, "Brother, you are seriously injured. Why? Why don't you retire and go home to take care of yourselves, but still work as an errand?"

The old soldier touched the injured eye, "I have no home, I am alone, my leg is injured, and I can't do farm work when I go home. There is also a tael of silver per month at this post station. After a year or so, if you save up a little silver, you can ask for a wife."

"I don't know where my brother got hurt?"

The old soldier let out a hey, "Where else can I go? It's right here at Xiaoshan Pass. I'm a member of the new first army. I'm here to block Tian Dan's reinforcements. I've been fighting for half a month, but I lost one of them." One eye and one leg, but it doesn't matter, we still completed the task, if the superior ordered us to retreat, these soft-footed crabs in the Qi army would never have crossed the Xiaoshan pass."

Wang Pei fell silent for a while, the wound of the veteran in front of him was actually left when he fought against the people of Qi, if he knew that he was the general of Qi, he would pour a bowl of boiling water over him, right? I glanced at the official again, but saw that the corner of his mouth was slightly upturned, but he seemed to be smiling. I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes suddenly sounded outside, and Wang Pei's heart skipped a beat. He was a man leading veteran soldiers, and when he heard the sound of horseshoes stamping on the ground, he knew it was the sound of a large group of cavalry approaching. Turn your attention to this soldier.

"My lord, don't panic!" The veteran stood up with his crutches in a daze, "This is our cavalry. It was announced earlier that there were cavalry passing by, but we didn't want to come so fast."

The old soldier limped to the door, Wang Pei also stood up, followed the old soldier out of the military station, a moment later, in the wind and snow, groups of cavalry quickly approached from a distance. Passing the military station, and Instead of staying, they went straight forward. The veterans happily waved their hands at the cavalry passing by.

Looking at these cavalrymen, Wang Pei was shocked. Although these cavalrymen were wearing the standard uniforms of the Conquering Eastern Army, they were clearly barbarians. Are these Hun cavalrymen?

When I was in doubt, a big banner suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

"East Hu Independent Cavalry Division!" He was stunned for a moment, staring at the big flag in a daze. The veteran beside him also lowered his hand in embarrassment. Obviously, this veteran couldn't tell the difference between the Xiongnu cavalry and the Donghu cavalry. The cavalry has just ended years of war with the Donghu, and ordinary people are not used to the fact that the Donghu cavalry has become their allies.

Under the banner, an officer rode his horse to the post station, jumped off his horse, handed a document to the soldier, and said loudly: "The Donghu Independent Cavalry Division arrived at Xiaoshan Pass one day earlier, please sign it! "

The old soldier turned around and yelled loudly, and a young soldier came out with a squeak, holding a pen in his hand.

"Sign and charge!" The veteran waved his hand, and the soldier immediately picked up a pen and signed his name on the document in the officer's hand, in duplicate, and the officer handed one of the documents to the veteran, and the other Put it away, saluted the old soldier, turned around and mounted the horse, and galloped away.

The old soldier looked at Wang Pei and said with a smile: "I am illiterate, but now all the young people in our Zhengdong Mansion are literate! Thanks to the old man, the governor. In the future, I will become a family and give birth to a son. For studying, we don’t charge money for the school in Dongfu.”

Wang Pei didn't hear what the veteran said, but just watched the cavalry gallop past in groups. Counting the time, there might be tens of thousands of these cavalry.

Why did the Zhengdong Army suddenly mobilize a large number of cavalry to cross Xiaoshan Pass? A big question mark suddenly popped up in my heart, and I felt a sudden in my heart. Don’t they want to attack Qiguo? If the Zhengdong Army suddenly attacked at this time Qi State, the territory controlled by the second son will bear the brunt.

"Lord Lu, what are these cavalrymen doing?" He turned to look at the official accompanying him.

"General Wang was joking. I'm just a humble official under Commander Ye. I can't hear about this important military event." The official said with a smile.

Wang Pei was stunned, and said: "Master Lu, we have rested here for an hour, it's time to start, I want to rush to Jishi City earlier."

"No problem!" The official was very straightforward. "There are horses in the station here. We can change the horses here. We will hand over the remaining horses to the station. They will wait for you and come back. When the time comes, change it back." (To be continued)
