Chapter 1242 The Difference Between Father and Son(1/2)
Hu Xicheng was suffering in the government office.
The staff had already recounted the magic of Wang Rong's previous tricks of picking up iron chains in the oil pan, and Hu Xicheng just smiled.
"It's very magical, that miscellaneous learning... If it weren't for the war before, I would have wanted to ask for advice."
He raised his head, "But what the situation is going on?"
The staff member shook his head, "The key is that we don't know the movements of the Liao army. They are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind. If you are not here today, you may be here tomorrow. It's hard to defend!"
"Yes!" Hu Xicheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, frowned and said, "The tea is too light, I'll change it."
Someone came in to change tea, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the dark tea in the tea cup.
This is already a strong tea!
"Send someone, right now!"
Hu Xicheng said anxiously: "Guo Ang is mediocre, I am afraid that he will not fulfill my husband's instructions, so I will send someone to investigate the news immediately."
Someone answered and went out.
"Young man!"
Hu Xicheng sat down dejectedly, held his forehead with both hands, and said sadly: "Chen Bian... I also met him and said, "I had also spoken to him. He was an anxious person. His eyes were full of uneasiness, as if the Liao army would defeat Bianliang in the next moment... I didn't refute for some reason, but just listened quietly."
After Shen An gradually became famous, Chen Bian was often mentioned.
"Chen Bian means not to think about any peaceful days. The Song Dynasty should use the whole country to regain the land of Youyan, rebuild the Great Wall, and find a barrier for the Song Dynasty... For this reason, the official family should fight in person, and even if they die in the north, they should continue to attack... Madman!"
Hu Xicheng's body trembled for a moment, as if he was laughing.
"He said he was willing to go to the army and was fearless even if he died in battle."
"Think about Chen An, does this kind of aura look like Chen Bian?"
The staff member sighed: "Chen Bian just ran around and shouted, but Chen An bent down to do it, and did a lot of things steadily..."
"Yes!" Hu Xicheng looked up, "I also mentioned his family back then, and Chen Bian mentioned his son. What should I say? I was a little confused, but there is the kindness of being a father."
"He said...his greatest wish is to keep his children and grandchildren from being threatened by alien races from now on, and to live with their waists..."
Hu Xicheng smiled bitterly and said, "I laughed at him in a daze back then, but what about now?"
"If Chen An is defeated, what kind of face will I have to meet the official family?"
"Great victory!"
Just when Hu Xicheng was sad, cheers came.
"Hmm? What kind of victory?" he stood up and said, "Go and ask."
The staff member was about to go out when cheers came again.
"The Duke of Chen County killed three thousand enemies in one battle and captured one thousand prisoners, and a great victory!"
"What?" Hu Xicheng held the table and said, "Kill three thousand enemies?"
The staff had already rushed out and it became noisy outside immediately.
"A great victory!"
"The messenger is here, go away!"
"Help them get off the horse."
"Their legs are weak."
"Come more people and carry them in."
"Prepare tea!"
"Call the doctor!"
Hu Xicheng slowly walked to the door and saw a group of people coming around with two soldiers.
The two soldiers could probably leave, but those people were so enthusiastic that they carried them in on their own.
"Hu Yunzhi..."
A soldier struggled to come down to salute, and Hu Xi said in a trembling voice: "Speak... hurry up."
The sergeant looked up and said, "Early the morning before yesterday, the Duke of Chen County found that five thousand enemy troops were camping, and sent a thousand cavalry to lure the enemy. The two sides fought fiercely, and our army suffered heavy casualties..."
The thousand people who lured the enemy lost more than half of them in the end, but they brought about a great victory.
This is the success of a general and his bones are woven!
"The enemy was pursuing all the way, and the Duke of Chen County led his army to ambush them, defeated the Liao army in one battle, beheaded 3,000, captured 1,000... and seized countless war horses and other things."
Hu Xicheng's body shook for a moment, and his face turned red as if he was drunk.
"So,...a great victory?"
"Yes." The sergeant said: "After the war in Chenxian, he was sent to the capital to visit the horse-catching mouth..."
"Jingguan?"
Hu Xicheng suddenly raised his head and laughed, "Is Jingguan? Hahahaha! A great victory! A great victory!"
The long-term pressure made him overwhelmed, and the news of the victory was like a release, which made his emotions lose control in an instant.
Everyone began to be surprised when they looked at Hu Xicheng who was out of control, and then they became happy.
"A great victory!"
Cheers came from outside, and then someone was shouting to go for a drink.
This is the time to go to the yamen!
When I go to the yamen to drink, aren’t you afraid of being cleaned up?
But Hu Xicheng ignored it.
He slowly turned around and murmured: "I said Chen Bian was a fool, but now? His son took over his ideal and worked hard, but I have been struggling in the officialdom. What is the benefit to the Song Dynasty? It turns out that a fool is actually me!"
"Hu Yunmao!"
There was a noise outside, but all the civil and military officials came.
Everyone came in happily and saluted together.
"Hu Yunzhi, this is a great victory in this battle, and this is the first to win!"
"Yes." Hu Xicheng nodded and said, "Chen An lived up to expectations... I was worried about him... but he defeated the Liao army's forward in one battle. OK!"
He was so happy that he was weak. After gasping for a while, he continued, "Send someone to go now, and spread the news of the victory all over Hebei Road, so that the soldiers and civilians on Hebei Road can cheer up and cheer up, and cheer up. We can defeat the Liao people..."
He stood up and his hair was lit up, "Don't be afraid of Yelu Hongji. The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were all on the front line of Bianliang, but once Yelu Hongji conquered the country, the officials would personally lead a large army to reinforce and fight against Yelu Hongji!"
The staff looked at him and thought to himself that the officials were seeking their own efforts... Is this a matter unreliable?
Then Hu Xicheng is talking nonsense?
But such nonsense is of great benefit to morale.
So the scouts set out again, but this time they did not go to detect the enemy situation, but to report the victory.
Hebei Road is boiling.
Those nervous people were cheering.
Just amid the cheers, Chen An came back.
The gates of Zhending City were wide open, and countless people were waiting outside the city, and Hu Xicheng was the leader.
The cavalry came slowly, and they were still carrying prisoners, so they couldn't get up.
When he saw a crowd of people outside the city, Chen An said, "I'll just get off the horse."
He got off the horse and walked first, and the cavalry behind him advanced like a wall, with a terrifying momentum.
"This is our Iron Cavalry of the Song Dynasty!"
"Yes, they defeated the Liao army's forward in one battle."
“It looks scary!”
Some children were scared and hid in their parents' arms and dared not look at them.
In the era of cold weapons, swords and guns can bring the most direct feeling.
Cold!
"I've met Hu Yuncheng."
"Thank you for your hard work in Chen County."
When the two met, Hu Xicheng smiled and said, "The great victory of Chenxian Gong in this battle has inspired the morale of the military on Hebei Road. I have submitted a memorial. I think the officials and husbands in Bianliang City will be happy about this."
This is to show the merit of Shen An.
Chen An smiled and said, "It's just a little bit of merit, it's not worth mentioning."
An official said, "No, this is a great achievement."
To be continued...
