"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 156
Camping in the evening, the Qinghe military barracks with numerous soldiers and horses stretched for several miles, and the flags were unfurled, which seemed to be the heyday of the army.
Although the scouts and reconnaissance cavalry of the Black Cavalry Army were elite, they did not dare to approach the cavalry of the Qinghe Army wandering around to investigate the situation, but only watched from a long distance.
"Take the time to rest and replenish your strength."
The troops of the Qinghe Army headed west from Qingyang Mansion all the way. Although the marching distance in one day was not long, it was exhausting.
?The High Command issued an order, requiring all troops to seize the time to bury their pots and make food, and to recharge their spirits.
The camps of the Qinghe Army lit up cooking smoke, and the smell of meat and food on both sides of the official road soon permeated.
"Damn, I'm exhausted."
The horse of Xu Jiang, a senior staff member, was taken away, and he was exhausted after a day of marching on foot.
The Qinghe army lacked war horses. Except for some senior generals, scouts, and rangers who had horses, the rest of the horses were all concentrated in Liu Yidao's Fourth Army for use by the cavalry.
? Xu Jiang got used to living a pampered life, but now he suddenly lost his horse to travel, and after this day, his feet were covered with blisters.
"My lord, just bear with it, and you will soon be able to live a good life."
Seeing Xu Jiang who was complaining so much, several personal guards were also busy running and taking care of him quite properly.
"Is there anything to eat? I'm starving to death." Xu Jiang lay limp on the cushion and asked the guard who was busy boiling water.
The personal guard quickly took out a few dry and hard biscuits from the package and handed them over.
Xu Jiang, dizzy from hunger, took a bite. The dry and hard pancakes made it hard for him to swallow, and he spit it all out.
"Is this thing edible? Hurry up and get me a bowl of meat."
Xu Jiang threw away the dry and hard cooking cake, and gave instructions to the guard with a displeased face.
"Young master, where can I find meat here?"
"I don't care, I want to eat meat."
"Young master, wait a moment, I'll go look for it right away."
The personal guards were also extremely helpless, but Xu Jiang had already promised that he would vote for the imperial court at that time and ensure their prosperity and wealth, otherwise they would not bother to serve them.
The personal guard spent a lot of money to buy a bowl of wild rabbit meat for Xu Jiang from the nearby camp, and finally made Xu Jiang have a full meal.
After Xu Jiang ate and drank enough, he was so tired that he went directly into the tent and fell asleep.
Several personal guards had to meet Xu Jiang's many demands along the way, and they were exhausted, so they all fell asleep soon.
When Xu Jiang and others were sleeping soundly, in the middle of the night, the command headquarters issued an order to order the Second Banner Regiment of the First Army Corps to escort the military subordinates and luggage to divert to the south.
Because of the slow speed of the military battalion and the supply troops, they were in the second half of the entire marching team, and they were still several miles away from where Xu Jiang and the others camped.
Although being called up in the middle of the night was very unpleasant, but in the face of the urging of the messengers and officers at all levels, the members of the military and the supply troops also packed their bags one after another, and turned south under the cover of night.
At dawn the next day, Chen Ru led the main force and continued to march westward.
The two troops led by Chen Zi'ang and Liu Yidao also caught up from behind, making the team even bigger.
"Why are the old battalion of the army and the supply unit gone?"
Although Xu Jiang was an idiot, he also found a problem in the marching sequence, that is, the old military battalion and supply troops who had been following them disappeared.
Xu Jiang sent his own soldiers to inquire about the situation, and soon the soldiers came back panting.
"Young master, the old battalion of the army and the supply troops are moving too slowly, they have already fallen behind, and the commander-in-chief has already sent someone to urge them."
After hearing this, Xu Jiang dispelled his doubts and continued to follow the team without asking any further questions.
On this day, they walked for more than forty miles, and they were only one day away from the battlefield preset by the fourth prince, which made Xu Jiang excited and excited.
Because as long as he helps the fourth prince annihilate the Qinghe army, then he can rely on this credit to become the governor of Qinghe province.
From a marginalized general of the rebel army to a governor of the court, Xu Jiang felt that he was lucky after thinking about it.
"Stop moving forward, bury the pot and cook!"
In the evening, the high command issued another military order, demanding that?The troops immediately stopped advancing and buried pots for cooking.
"Why don't you camp?"
"The commander-in-chief said that he would march overnight."
After hearing this answer, Xu Jiang couldn't help but frowned. Could it be that the command found something?
"Slip out immediately, go to the shallow water beach and tell His Highness the Fourth Highness that the army may arrive early and let them get ready."
Feeling uneasy vaguely, Xu Jiang summoned a soldier and asked him to report to the Fourth Prince.
The personal guard quickly took advantage of the opportunity of the army to bury the pot to make food, and tried to leave to report to the shallow water beach.
"Brother, where are you going?"
But as soon as the personal guard ran less than two miles away, more than a dozen rangers from the Qinghe Army came up from all around, staring at him eagerly and questioning him.
"I'm from Mr. Xu Jiang, and I'm lost." The soldier explained.
Hearing that this personal soldier was from Xu Jiang, the ranger officer's eyes turned cold.
"Catch it!"
A ranger officer snorted coldly, and two sharp lances were placed around the neck of the soldier.
"Brother, misunderstood, misunderstood, I belong to Mr. Xu."
The soldier felt the coolness on his neck and panicked.
"take away!"
However, these rangers did not give the soldier a chance to explain, and directly arrested him.
Although these rangers did not know the specific situation, the ranger officers secretly received an order that Xu Jiang and others should not be allowed to leave the camp.
Xu Jiang didn't know at all that the people he sent had been arrested, and he thought he did it without anyone noticing.
"The army diverted to the south!"
After dinner, the high command issued another order, and the Qinghe army turned around and went south.
"What, going south?"
After hearing the call of the messenger, Xu Jiang was stunned.
"Brother, brother, why don't you go west?" Xu Jiang asked the messenger loudly.
"Because the Western Dynasty Army has set up an ambush."
A cold voice came from not far away, and Hussar General Chen Ziang came over with a group of murderous soldiers.
Hearing that there was an ambush in front of Chen Zi'ang, Xu Jiang's face flashed with panic, and he quibbled: "Nonsense, how could there be an ambush by the Dynasty army in front, you must have made a mistake "
But when Xu Jiang hadn't finished speaking, the personal guard he sent earlier was thrown out.
"My lord, my lord, save me." The bodyguard with a bruised nose and a swollen face shouted loudly.
Seeing that the person he sent fell into the hands of Chen Ziang, Xu Jiang also turned pale.
"Xu Jiang, what else do you have to say?" Chen Ziang said coldly.
Xu Jiangqiang said calmly: "I don't understand what you said, what can I say?"
"General, Zhang Wenyuan and others have been executed on the spot."
At this moment, Li Changqing walked over from a distance, his body was still stained with blood.
Hearing that Zhang Wenyuan and the others had been killed, Xu Jiang was so frightened that his legs went limp, and his eyes were full of horror, because he knew that what he had done had been exposed.
"Xu Jiang, remember, there are people out there, and there are people out there, and your cleverness is just to deceive children."
Xu Jiang only knew at this moment that he always thought that he was doing it without anyone noticing, but he didn't expect that everything was seen by others. It was just that they were fishing for big fish with a long line, but he didn't know it.
I have always regarded others as fools, but when I think of Chen Ru and Chen Ziang who can hold great power, can there be a fool? (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
