PFC Chapter 107 The Lively Anqing Marquis Mansion
Chapter 107 The Lively Anqing Marquis Mansion
"Oh? Your wife is so talented, I want to meet her." General Han did not reject Mi Yao because she was a woman. Instead, he admired Mi Yao's kung fu and medical skills, as well as her chivalrous character.
"General, there are plenty of opportunities to see my wife. Now quickly gather some men and attack the enemy," Night Owl urged.
"Are you sure?" General Han was still a little uncertain.
"I am willing to use my own life as a guarantee. This is absolutely true." said Ye Xiao.
"Okay, come here, summon all the generals above the rank of deputy general to the central military tent for a meeting." With one order, all the generals who were qualified to attend the meeting came one after another. Some people were shocked to see Ye Xiao, after all, the whole military camp knew that Ye Xiao was dying yesterday after blocking the poison arrow for General Han.
Night Owl smiled slightly and didn't explain much.
General Han immediately took out the sand table and assigned combat tasks to everyone.
After all the tasks were assigned, I asked, "Who has any comments? Feel free to raise them."
"General, I have no objection to attacking the Western Rong, but isn't it too hasty to put all our strength into it?" A general raised his opinion.
"Today is a crucial battle. All of our Dongqi soldiers must attack." General Han made the final decision and would not allow anyone else to object. This also showed his trust in Ye Xiao and Mi Yao, whom he had never met. It was a blind trust that was worth his life.
All the generals went back to gather their soldiers. As the war drums rumbled, the gates of Shuiyun Pass opened wide. General Han took the lead, and Ye Xiao followed beside General Han, holding a sword in one arm and a bayonet in the other.
He already knew it would end, and he didn't have to come, but for the sake of honor, in order to return to the court to redeem himself and restore his previous identity, and in order to give Mi Yao and the two children a stable life, he had to be at the front. Lu Han protected him by his side. This was Mi Yao's arrangement, and Ye Xiao did not object. After all, face was not as important as honor.
The Xirong side was already in chaos. When they heard the deafening drumbeats from the Dongqi side, they quickly gathered men and horses. No, only men, there were no horses anymore. All the soldiers became infantry.
When two armies fight, there is no unnecessary nonsense, just start fighting.
As the battle started, the Xirong army found that they had no strength left. They could not even dodge as the Dongqi soldiers chopped at them with their swords.
So, the Dongqi soldiers reaped the lives of the Xirong soldiers like cutting melons and vegetables.
General Han became more and more happier as the battle went on. Although poisoning was not honorable, it was the other side who poisoned first. You are unkind and I am unjust. Now it has come to the point where either you die or I die. What's the point of talking about quality and fairness?
This war turned into a one-sided massacre by the Dongqi army. On the battlefield, blood flowed like a river, all of which was the blood of the Xirong soldiers.
The Third Prince Xihan was troubled for half the night because of the loss of food and horses. Without food and horses, they were nothing. After working for half the night, he didn't find a grain or a hair of horse. He was exhausted and just lay down to sleep when Dongqi attacked.
The third prince of Xirong skillfully deployed his troops, but later, he found that he had no strength left. Finally, he slumped in the chair, without even the strength to stand up.
After more than an hour, the massacre was over. Ye Xiao came to the Xirong central army tent with a bayonet, and saw the third prince of Xirong sitting there like a pile of dog shit.
Ye Xiao stepped forward and cut Xihan's tendons in his hands and feet. Lu Han stepped forward and tied Xihan up tightly, holding him in his hands.
The Dongqi army entered the Xirong camp. Some Xirong soldiers were still there. Those who surrendered were tied up, and those who resisted were killed directly. Finally, they were all gathered in the central army tent. Looking at Xihan, who was tied tightly in Lu Han's hands, everyone shouted loudly, "We won."
"Dong Qi won..."
General Han immediately arranged for people to collect the prisoners and the food, fodder, gold and silver from the Western Rong. Unfortunately, only a small amount of food and gold and silver were found.
Several lieutenant generals looked at the lonely boxes on the ground with disdain on their faces.
"With such little money and food, you dare to come to fight. Who are you looking down on?"
"Ha ha……"
After the deputy general finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
Except for a few hundred prisoners, the Western Rong army of more than 100,000 was completely wiped out.
This victory was too easy.
At this moment, in the Dongqi military camp, Old Jin was talking to Mi Yao about medical skills. The soldier who was knocked unconscious by Lu Han and the two soldiers who borrowed clothes had been released by Mi Yao and sent to the military doctor. Old Jin came rushing over and insisted on chatting with Mi Yao until the end of time.
"Mr. Jin, you're too kind. I just know a little bit, but I don't deserve to be called a miracle doctor." Mi Yao felt that she was a little flattered by Mr. Jin's praise.
Dongqi won a great victory, and General Han was in high spirits. He arranged everything in the army, big and small. He had already written a memorial to the emperor, requesting credit for Ye Xiao and Cheng Ran, He Zhuang, and Xu Bo who followed Ye Xiao.
The army was reorganizing and celebrating, and the capital was also bustling with activity. The reason was that the Anqing Marquis' Mansion had been praised by the Emperor, and various rewards were continuously sent to the Yonghe Marquis' Mansion.
Then came some officials from the court, all of whom came with gifts.
The whole Xiao family was in a joyous mood, especially Anqing Marquis Xiao Yushi, who could not stop smiling.
The Second Master Xiao, Xiao Mingwang, and the Third Master Xiao Molin are also by their eldest brother's side. The honor bestowed by the Emperor belongs to the Anqing Marquis' Mansion, and when facing outsiders, everyone is naturally united and friendly.
Mi Qing sat in her own courtyard, looking at the wealthy ladies and daughters of famous families who came in groups, with a decent smile on her face.
To ask why the Anqing Marquisate was favored by the emperor, the story has to start from a month ago.
After Mi Qing entered the mansion, except for Old Madam Xun from the old Anqing Marquis's Mansion who had some sincerity towards Mi Qing, everyone else ignored her, including her three aunts, four cousins, not to mention her uncles, especially her aunt Xiao Yaqian, who seemed to want to eat Mi Qing every time she saw her.
Mi Qing thought over and over again but still couldn't figure out how she had offended this general's wife. Even in her previous life, this aunt didn't have any ill will towards Mi Yao when she came back.
Seeing that everyone in the mansion, except the old lady, treated her like an outsider, Mi Qing felt very dissatisfied. She wanted to use her experience from her entire life to help herself gain everyone's attention and sincerity.
A month ago, the second master Xiao Mingwang was assigned by the emperor to suppress bandits in a mountain thirty miles away. Mi Qing recalled that in his previous life, Xiao Mingwang was attacked on the way to suppress the bandits. Not only was he seriously injured, but his eldest son Xiao Yunze also lost both legs.
The day before Xiao Mingwang led his troops to suppress the bandits, his eldest son Xiao Yunze asked to follow his father to suppress the bandits, saying that he wanted to gain some experience. Xiao Mingwang felt that he had so many soldiers with him, so he would have no problem protecting his son. If the suppression of the bandits was successful, both he and his son would be rewarded, so he took Xiao Yunze with him.
