Chapter 182: The Battle of Yongqiu (I)

Dong Qi's eyelids kept jumping.

There is an old saying that the left eye twitches and the right eye twitches and wealth. What he is now jumping is the left eye, which is the eye that jumps.

Dong Chu still believed the words of the elderly back then.

So he immediately ordered Wang Shuang and Cheng Lian to shrink their formation and send a scout to inquire about the news.

It was cold and the ground was cold, but the road was pretty good. Since the Han Emperor went on a patrol, all the officials from all over the country seemed to be dedicated, and the arrangements of roads and other aspects were quite appropriate. In addition, the 5,000 left cavalry of the Yulin Army were escorted by the county and state soldiers along the way, so there was almost nothing along the way.

Zhao's army escorted the car to the border of the county and states and stopped.

According to the Han Dynasty military rules, the soldiers of counties and states in various places could not leave the local area without authorization, so they could only escort to this place.

But nothing happened. The left cavalry of the Yulin Army had experienced the battle formation and was experienced.

The person who served as the commander of the Left Cavalry was He Jin's confidant, Wu Qiu Yi, the commander of the Fengche. This man was quite brave in fighting, made many military achievements, and was a general. This was another person that Dong Qi had never heard of. He had a somewhat arrogant personality and did not seem to be very convinced by Dong Qi's command. After joining with Dong Qi, he nominally obeyed the order, but in fact, he led the Yulin Army to lead the way in front, and basically did not have any intersection with Dong Qi. Even after joining with Dong Qi, he had only met Dong Qi.

Dong Qi didn't want to pay attention to such a person.

The two armies are about twenty miles apart. Even if there is something wrong, Dong Qi will try his best to solve it himself.

But the twitching eyelids is indeed not a good sign.

"Cheng Lian, immediately send someone to inform Lord Wuqiuyi, asking him to slow down the marching speed and not to distance him ten miles away from us."

After Dong Qi ordered the arrangement, about half an hour later, a small school came to report: "Mr. Wuqiu said that it might snow heavily at night, so it is best to speed up the marching speed. Yongqiu is ahead, but camping there... He also said that if you are so timid, you might as well go back to Luoyang to stay, which is safest."

"What a thief!"

Wang Shuang was furious and couldn't help but curse.

Dong Qi waved his hand and signaled his generals to be calm. After pondering for a moment, he ordered people to find Ren Hongchang, "Hongchang, from now on, your Luanwei Camp must be alert at all times. Wu Qiu Yi was marching like this, and I always feel that there is something... In short, be careful, there is no big mistake. In addition, let us set up camp in Yongqiu tonight and will arrive in Gaoyi tomorrow."

"Here!"

Ren Hongchang immediately intervened in the salute, and then turned the horse back to the formation.

The words of the little yellow goalkeeper Dong Qi were passed on to the Emperor of Han, but the Emperor of Han had no objection to Dong Qi's decision.

After leaving Luoyang, the journey is safe and sound, and I guess there will be no serious consequences.

The public security situation in Jizhou is quite good compared to other places. Especially after the rebellion of the Heishan Army was pacified, there were basically no traces of bandits on the land of Jizhou. In addition, in the past month, the soldiers of counties and states in various places launched fierce attacks and encirclements on the bandits, making them safe and safe along the way without any twists and turns.

Yongqiu?

Ban Yi rode on the horse, frowned and muttered in a low voice.

Dong Qi couldn't help asking, "Military advisor, what's wrong with this Yongqiu?"

Ban Yi shook his head, "It's nothing wrong. Yongqiu was named Qi State in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and Qi people's worries refer to this place. This place is empty on all sides and there is no dangerous place to be stationed. Moreover, it is 140 miles from Zhao State and 90 miles from Gaoyi, which is exactly a break point. The subordinates think that if there is something wrong in staying in Yongqiu, it will be very dangerous."

"oh?"

Dong Qi frowned, "What should I do between Mr. Yi?"

"It's better not to stay in Yongqiu and pass here as soon as possible. Only after entering Gaoyi should it be considered safe."

Looking up at the sky, Dong Qi couldn't help feeling a little hesitant.

There is no doubt that what Ban Yi said makes sense. But the key is that Wu Qiuyi may not obey him.

"I'll go and ask for an order first, and then make a discussion!"

After Dong Qi finished speaking, he urged his horse to go to the Nine Dragon Chariot. When Emperor Han went on a patrol, the ceremonial guards would naturally not be small. In addition to the Beigong people escorted, there were also Jingua warriors, warriors in front of the hall, and eunuchs in the yellow gate, which totaled one or two thousand.

The small yellow sect who was on duty was Zhang Gong, the Central General Attendant.

When he heard Dong Qi's request to see the emperor, he naturally did not dare to be a little negligent. After a while, the Emperor of Han summoned Dong Qi to come and meet him.

After hearing Dong Qi's concerns, Emperor Han laughed instead.

"Dong Qing is too worried... If you are in peace today, I will be in charge of the will of heaven. How dare I show up?"

The chariot is magnificent and extremely spacious.

There are six fire charcoal burning in gold and jade, making the chariot warm as spring.

Empress He was talking to the prince next to him. After Emperor Han finished speaking, he couldn't help but say, "Dong Xiaoqing's family, the emperor said it well. What danger can there be when staying in Yongqiu? Look at the Ai family, you are learning from the Qi Kingdom, and Qi is worried... It's hard to come out of Zhao Kingdom. Let's stay in Yongqiu tonight. Besides, with Dong Qing, you must be there even if a slut appears. Prince, do you think what the Ai family said makes sense?"

“What the queen said is reasonable.”

When the Emperor of Han said this, he suddenly laughed and said, "Besides, I have heard that Dong Qing is extremely brave and has a great military service. I have never seen Dong Qing take action. If you are really a slut, you can learn about Dong Qing's skills."

Speaking of this, Dong Qi had no excuse to refuse.

I smiled bitterly helplessly in my heart and said to myself: I just hope I am really worried.

He immediately accused him of crime and withdrew from the chariot.

He whispered to Zhang Gong: "Mr. Zhang, please ask you for yourselves. I will arrange the Luanwei Camp outside. If there is any problem, I can directly contact them."

Zhang Gong also has no good feelings for Dong Qi.

But I also knew in my heart that this place was not as good as Luoyang. If something really happened, it would definitely be implicated in the nine tribes and would not have the entire body.

So he agreed very cooperatively: "Don't worry, Mr. Dong, our family must be careful."

It seems that everything that should be explained has been explained...

But Dong Qi's eyelids kept jumping, which made him feel unforgettable.

That night, the car arrived in Yongqiu.

There was a commander of the chariot, and Wu Qiuyi, the chief general of the left cavalry of the Yulin Army, had already chosen a shelter place and set up a camp.

After welcoming the Han Emperor's chariot into the camp, Dong Qi led his men to enter, but was blocked by a team of people.

"Sir, my general said that the Yulin Army has not much baggage, so you really cannot arrange your troops to station in. Please bring people to camp on your own. Your Majesty has the protection of our Yulin Army, and there will be no danger."

I am already very dissatisfied with Nawuqiuyi!

After hearing this, Dong Qi was furious.

What is your Wuqiuyi? I have no grudges and no grudges, so why should I make things difficult for us like this? Everyone is working for the emperor, and you are still playing style and making small moves at this time... I really don’t know what you Wuqiuyi is thinking in your mind.

Just as he was about to get angry, he was stopped by Ban Zhi.

"Lord, it is not advisable to conflict with the Yulin Army at this time. They have as many people as we do. If the generals start to make trouble and shock the Holy Lord, I am afraid they will not benefit you or me. I will bear it for a while for a while, and wait until I return to Luoyang and deal with him well."

Dong Qi gritted his steel teeth and took a deep breath, finally enduring the breath.

"Okay, let me tell Lord Wuqiuyi that we are stationed on the periphery. Protect the emperor and notify me immediately if there is anything."

As the head coach, his subordinates have no choice but to do so. Dong Qi has never been so angry.

After suppressing his anger and saying a few words in the scene, Dong Qi immediately ordered people to camp on a hill not far from the Yulin Army camp. Although he did not hide from the wind, his vision was very good. The soldiers of Beigong quickly set up the camp and buried the pot to make rice.

After inspecting the camps, Dong Qi arranged the guards and returned to the tent.

Ban Zhi said: "Lord, my subordinates just looked at the Yulin Army camp, and there seemed to be no warning. Do you see if we are..."

"Forget it, it's a very important thing. Since Wu Qiuyi wants to show off his power, let's avoid it and order Cheng Lian to take into account the vigilance of the Yulin Army. Anyway, everything is based on the Emperor's safety and other things will be discussed later."

As he was talking, Wang Shuang came in from outside cursingly.

"Lord, there's nothing I can do!"

"What's wrong?"

"It's not the grandsons of the Yulin Army. When we passed by, we mocked us for a while and said... Lord, you are the head coach. We are the prestigious Beigong Wei. When did you get this kind of bird energy? Let's teach them a good lesson."

Dong Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "How to teach a lesson? Ziquan, let's bear it first. After returning to Luoyang, there will be a chance to deal with them. Don't make trouble now. If that happens, it will be of no benefit to us. Be patient."

A personal guard brought the meal, and Dong Qi invited everyone to have a meal together.

At this time, it was already deep in the night, and suddenly there was a wind blowing. It started to snow around midnight.

Dong Qi couldn't sleep in the central army's tent, so he simply got up and took Wang Shuang and some personal guards to patrol the camp one by one.

Fortunately, Beigong Wei has been training for two years after all, and even in such an environment, he remains alert.

"Yongqiu was originally the territory of Qi. In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, he had a very tragic battle with Song. Later, when Qi was defeated, he moved to Chunyu between Qi and Lu. Not long after the Song Dynasty occupied Yongqiu, a plague occurred, and the entire Yongqiu... People thought that there was a curse from the Qi people here, so no one lived there."

Ban Zhi whispered to Dong Qi to introduce the history of Yongqiu. Standing at the gate of the camp, looking at the deserted wilderness, he said: "This place was originally a place that military strategists must fight for, but it has been abandoned since that plague. Now, the entire Yongqiu is probably less than a thousand people. The great land has become desolate like this. Now, it is a pity."

Dong Qi didn't say anything, and said in his heart: The plague in Yongqiu was probably related to that fierce battle.

Many people died and failed to clean up in time, so there will naturally be plagues. This was originally a very simple truth, but in this era, it seems very mysterious. Epidemics and disasters are often associated with the theory of ghosts and gods.

After looking at the sky, Dong Qi yawned: "It's getting late, everyone rests early, and they have to hurry to go tomorrow."

As he said that, he turned around and wanted to go back to the tent.

But after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked into the dark wilderness.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Have you heard any movement?"

The cold wind whistles, like ghosts crying and wolf howling. The heavy snow of goose feathers makes the sight extremely blurry.

Ban Chi and others listened, but heard nothing. They couldn't help but look at Dong Qi in one go, with doubts in their eyes.
