Chapter 958 Death News
Li Xun then issued an order to capture the camp. Except for Guo Yang and his soldiers, all the weapons of all others were confiscated. This immediately caused many people to complain, thinking that Li Xun was destroying bridges across the river and distrust of them. Regarding these comments, Li Xun directly told Hong Chengtao, Chang Shuo and others that I just don’t trust you. As for why, you know what you know.
Of course, under the tactful sympathy of some people, Li Xun was not too tough, and he still comforted Chang Shuo, Hong Chengtao and others, saying that after the war, he would still ask for credit for them, and those soldiers who did not participate in the war would also receive certain rewards.
After everything was arranged, Li Xun, Huang Hui and other generals went to the big tent.
Li Xun was dirty, tired and hungry, so he took a shower, changed his clothes, and then made some things to eat.
Everyone was chatting in the tent while waiting for Kou Xiong to return. The most important thing was that those who went to Kangzhou to investigate the news might be able to come back as soon as possible before dark.
A snoring sound came, and everyone looked up, but they saw Li Xun lying on the table and fell asleep.
Yan Yi said to Huang Hui: "General, you were tired all night yesterday. Why not go to rest first. If you have any news, I will inform you immediately."
Huang Hui shook her head: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."
Although Huang Hui is nearly 60 years old, she is very healthy in her body and spirit. She has no rest all day and night, but there is nothing big.
Perhaps it was because he was pretending to be in his heart, and no matter how tired he was, he couldn't sleep, so it took only two hours. Without anyone reminding him, Li Xun himself woke up.
After Li Xun woke up, he found that he was no longer in the big tent, but changed to a small tent. Obviously, after he fell asleep, he was carried here.
Qi Dafu was guarding outside. When he saw Li Xun coming out, he bowed and said, "Sir, you are awake."
Li Xun nodded, looked up at the sky, the sun shining brightly, and the cloudy weather for many consecutive days finally improved.
Li Xun rubbed his shoulders, and his whole body was still a little sore, but after taking a nap for two hours, he recovered well in his spirit.
Qi Dafu said at this time: "Sir, General Huang Hui told me to let you sleep for three hours, and then wake you up. Unexpectedly, sir, sir, wake you up now."
Li Xun was slightly stunned, then reacted: "But something happened?"
Qi Dafu nodded and said, "General Kou Xiong came back and brought back hundreds of defeated soldiers and generals, all of whom escaped from Kangzhou. Several of them were Zhao Qiankun's subordinates. They seemed to know Zhao Bai'an's whereabouts."
When Li Xun heard this, he was immediately excited and asked anxiously: "Where are they now?"
Finally, there was news from Zhao Baian. Whether it was dead or alive, there must be a definite news.
"Just in the tent of the chief general of the central army, General Huang Hui asked the generals to gather there in an hour."
"Let's go, let's go now."
Li Xun didn't want to wait for a moment, so he immediately went to the main general's tent.
After entering the big tent, he saw Huang Hui sitting there, his palm supporting his head, and there was a small rest. He was the only one in the big tent.
Li Xun strode forward and came close to him. He was about to speak, but he smelled a trace of wine. He looked at him sideways and found a large bowl on the table with wine.
Huang Hui has been in the army for many years and is very sensitive. Even when sleeping, a trace of movement can be captured. Therefore, although Li Xun did not speak, the slight movement still awakened Huang Hui.
While Huang Hui opened her eyes, her right hand subconsciously pressed the weapon on her waist. When she saw that it was Li Xun, she relaxed.
Li Xun said, "Sorry, I'm disturbing the old general."
Huang Hui waved his hand, and he also noticed Li Xun's gaze at the table, so he said embarrassedly: "I'm old and I want to drink some wine to refresh myself, but I didn't expect it to be easier to fall asleep."
Drinking is strictly prohibited in the army, especially during wars. Drinking in private is the crime of Seven Killings. Of course, at Huang Hui's level, even if he drinks alcohol, as long as it doesn't matter, no one will say anything. However, now that Li Xun is seeing it, he is still a little embarrassed.
Li Xun smiled and said, "The situation has stabilized, I will definitely ask the veteran general to have a good drink."
Huang Hui said happily: "The relationship is good, but I still went back to Fengjing. You are treating me."
Li Xun's aunt is the current queen mother. Emperor Xingzong is also very good to him and often rewards him. There must be some in his family. Only the palace can have good wine. Huang Hui is a soldier. In addition to fighting, he also likes to drink, especially when he likes to drink good wine. Huang Hui may not care about it, but if Li Xun invites him to drink, he will be a little interested.
"must."
After chatting for a few moments, Huang Hui called his personal soldiers to clean up the things on the table, and then he and Li Xun were the only ones left in the entire tent.
"Her old general, is there news in Connecticut?"
Li Xun asked out loud.
Huang Hui nodded: "There is news, and there are two, one good news and the other bad news. Which one do you want to listen to first?"
Li Xun had a bad premonition in his heart: "Let's tell bad news first."
Huang Hui sighed and said with a bitter smile: "Zhao Baian is dead."
Hearing this news, Li Xun closed his eyes and looked sad. His expression was not hypocritical. Although he did not have much social interaction with Zhao Bai'an, Zhao Bai'an had a very profound influence on him. I remember that when he just recognized Li Yi, there was a period of time when Li Xun became a little impetuous and frivolous. He felt that he had ended his hardships and was finally not in vain to come to this world and enjoy it. It was at this time that Zhao Bai'an wrote letters to Li Xun several times, and of course he also wrote letters to Li Mancang, warning them to make friends with gentlemen, stay away from villains, be low-key, and do things with caution. He also said many teaching words.
Zhao Baian's words may be a bit of relying on his seniority, but they did play a very important role in Li Xun and Li Mancang's father and son in that period. From then on, Li Mancang began to discipline Li Xun strictly, and both the father and son became very low-key in their work.
Of course, Zhao Baian is not the only one who said such a warning, but the words he said were more straightforward than others.
After a while, Li Xun opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Where are the main generals such as Zhao Qiankun, where are they now? Are they dead or alive?"
