I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 293 An Important Node in History
In the battles of this era, it takes a long time to prepare in advance, march for a long time, and deal with confrontation for a long time, but in a real fight, from the moment the two armies meet to decide the winner, it is often only half a day to a day.

In half a day, blood can flow into rivers.

It's just that the grassland is vast, and there are small battles between the two sides. There are victories and losses in the middle, and each advances and retreats. The various tribes of the grassland and the five northern towns rushed to help each other. There was the left wolf king, and the left and right wolf kings were destroyed one after another. The Golden Tent Royal Court raised its arms and called out, and the old and young men on the grassland behind rode on their horses, looking for more people from the vassal state, and it was another army.

There are few monsters in the middle, and the Taoists naturally rarely take action, but they have always followed the army.

When the march stretched for dozens of miles, the Taoist walked on the nearby hills.General Chen led the fine cavalry to attack and behead him, and the Taoist was also watching.Starlight Valley fought a decisive battle between the two sides, invested 30 elite soldiers, and buried [-] children from noon to dusk. The Taoist, a cat and a horse still stood on the top of the distant mountain, recording the historical scene with a pair of eyes.

It's just that seeing with the naked eye and reading from history books are actually two completely different feelings.

In this way, from midsummer to late autumn, as the last of the Northern Serb Army fled into the grassland, the northern frontier army led by General Chen pursued for eight hundred miles, and the war was completely won.

However, General Chen felt that it was not enough.

Regardless of whether he was enough or not, Song You had already had enough of staying here, so he packed his bags again and was about to leave.

General Chen heard the news from Zhang Junshi, so he took time out of his busy schedule to see him off in person.

Seeing that Song You had packed up his luggage and the horses had quilt bags on their backs, he couldn't help being taken aback, and asked aloud:

"Sir, are you leaving now?"

"I have stayed in the army long enough to see the demeanor of the general. I am very fortunate to have seen this great victory. Now that the general has won, naturally I shouldn't stay for long." Song You said to the general, and couldn't help but raise his head. Glancing at the sky, it was a clear autumn, and it was a sunny day, "I see that the weather is good today, just in time for departure."

"This great victory, sir, has contributed a great deal, and the entire Northern Army and the Great Yan have been favored by him." General Chen said to him, "but you don't even drink a meal of practice wine?"

"Never dare to say that."

Song You was like avoiding snakes and scorpions, and immediately said: "There is no merit. What I have done is just to return the disputes in the world to others. As for the victory or defeat, it is all decided by the soldiers."

After speaking, he said to General Chen:

"The army is busy, so I won't bother you much. The general also knows that I don't like an environment that is too noisy, so I will leave."

"Alright."

General Chen didn't stay long, and he knew that he couldn't keep it.

People like Mr. Song, even if they are not immortals, are also wild cranes in the mountains. How can they stay in one place for a long time?
It's time to leave.

Just asking a few questions in a symbolic sense.

Then he turned around and waved behind him.

Immediately, a primary school came over, holding a neatly folded, thick khaki blanket in his hand.

The color of the blanket is not gorgeous, but it is oily and shiny.

"Sir, do you still remember the bear monster that was slaughtered under the city when you first came here? Chen invited the best craftsman in the army to tan it into a blanket. Knowing that it was inconvenient for Mr. to carry it, he only took the flattest one from the abdomen and waist. The whole soft piece is about the size of a bed. This fur is impervious to water, unstained, and very warm. I only hope that my husband can live warmer when he sleeps in the wild."

While talking, General Chen took the blanket from the principal, handed it to Song You, and added:
"It happened that when Mr. first came, he exterminated this bear demon. Today, when Mr. leaves, he takes this blanket with him, so it can be regarded as the beginning and the end."

General Chen said it so well, it's hard not to accept it.

Song You looked down at the fur on his hands, and couldn't help reaching out to touch it, it was really soft and smooth.

He just took his hand back.

It's a pity that this bearskin blanket is too thick, so it's not impossible to carry it, but the previous wool blanket and wool felt have to be thrown away.

What's more, this is something on the monster.

Although the monster is a monster and has harmed countless people, it has spiritual wisdom. For a practitioner like Song You, especially a pure one, it is better not to be contaminated.

So Song You said to General Chen: "Although this fur bed is good, it is too fluffy. We travel around the world, but it is inconvenient to carry it. What's more, we have a wool felt and a wool blanket, which are not as precious as this bear skin. , but it is also the wish of an old friend back then. After using it for five years, I have already gotten used to it. I can’t throw it away. "

"This is sir..."

"To the General."

"Ok."

General Chen was not a dawdling person, so he could only sigh, regretting in his heart, if he had known this, he would not have cut it, and it would be nice to get a complete piece of giant bear fur with the head.

But he's not a tangle either.

Soon he put the bearskin blanket back into Xiaoxiao's hands, and asked Song You, "Where are you going, sir?"

"Go back to Yanzhou first, then go to Yuezhou, Zhaozhou, Hanzhou, Guangzhou, and return to Changjing via Hezhou."

"After this battle is over, His Majesty is afraid that he will also call me into the court." General Chen didn't look very happy when he said this, his face was very calm, and he just bowed his hands to him, "Maybe we can see you again in Changjing."

"How long will this battle last?"

"I have sent someone to rush back to Beijing to deliver my personal letter. It depends on whether His Majesty agrees."

"I see."

Song You nodded and squinted at him.

Then he bowed his hands to him, then smiled and turned to leave.

I don't know how many thoughts flashed through my mind.

As General Chen said just now, whether His Majesty agrees or not is a matter of continuing to lead the troops northward.

This place has already entered Saibei, hundreds of miles away from the border of Dayan, but General Chen still wants to continue to advance, and pursue it in depth before the winter on the grassland, and defeat Saibei in one fell swoop.Or wait until the spring of next year and then send troops northward, just like Saibei going south to invade, going to the depths of the enemy bandits.

The one in the palace will be entangled for a while.

Song You already knew when he was in Changjing that Emperor Dayan had long intended for the Northern Expedition, and now is the best time.

However, he had been suspicious of Chen Ziyi for a long time. After this battle, Chen Ziyi's power has risen to a higher level. If he goes to the north of the Great Wall again, it will be a marvelous achievement after he returns from victory.After years of wars, the Zhenbei Army is full of elites. The number alone has surpassed the Central Army, and the combat strength is not even at the same level. Most of them are in the hands of Chen Ziyi.The frontier army of the Western Regions was also elite, but their numbers were not comparable to those of Zhenbei. How could the court not be afraid of such a powerful and powerful man who was also capable of conscripting and fighting.

That is the entanglement that is far away in Changjing.

And Chen Ziyi in front of him didn't know this?

When Song You came back from Beiqin Mountain, he met Chen Ziyi who was accompanying the two princes on the way back from hunting. He tentatively asked Song You if he knew how to calculate divination and predict fate, saying that he wanted to ask Song You for advice.

Why do you want to ask Song You for advice?
It was only a while ago that I met Song You at the night banquet in the palace, so I wanted to know if the emperor invited Song You and specially invited him, whether Song You was proficient in this way and the emperor wanted to use this method to see himself Is there a fate of rebellion?At that time, if Song You said that he knew about reckoning and divination, then he would have to test what Song You said in front of the emperor.

After getting along during this time, Song You also knew a little about this general.

Most likely, Chen Ziyi has no intention of rebelling.

As for his character...

There are roughly several types of famous generals——

Some are fighting for fame and wealth, and most of them will be satisfied when the fame and fortune are harvested.Some are fighting for the peace of the country, and most of them will be satisfied after keeping the peace.Others are because they like to fight.

However, people are inherently contradictory. Few people are purely a certain kind of person, and most people are complex and subject to change.

Chen Ziyi probably has both of the latter two.

The ratio is unknown.

The purpose of continuing to go north this time is naturally to win a longer peace for Dayan, but a person like Chen Ziyi who was born for war is probably obsessed with this feeling.

Chen Ziyi knew that the current emperor was as martial-minded as himself, so he was definitely willing to go north. He also knew that the emperor was jealous of him and didn't want him to continue to be an emperor.

He also knew that after he left Beijing last year, at the end of the year, a mission from a small country in the Western Regions that was almost wiped out came to Beijing to assassinate the emperor with evil methods.Afterwards, the emperor didn't know whether he was frightened or contracted the sequelae, and his health deteriorated. He heard that the number of court visits had become less and less.But I don't know whether it was the emperor's deliberate plan to confuse who was entrapping whom, or whether it was true.If this is indeed the case, it is unknown whether the emperor still has the ambition and energy to make such a decision, or whether the power in the court is still in the hands of the emperor.

I don't know if the emperor will agree, and I don't know if the emperor will call him into the court in a few days, kill him or replace him, or arrange something else.

But if things go on like this, even if everything goes well, how can a person like Chen Ziyi have a happy ending throughout the ages?
Both sides are tangled, tangled endlessly.

"..."

Thinking of this, Song You's expression changed slightly.

"What are you thinking?"

The sound of the three-flowered cat came from beside me.

"Interesting thing."

Song You lowered his head and answered in a low voice.

"What's interesting?"

"Not to be said."

"where are we going?"

"Go to Liaoxin Pass."

"Oh……"

The world ahead is vast, and the grassland has turned from green to golden before you know it, but the blue sky and white clouds are still there, and the temperature during the day is just right, which is a good time to start a new journey.

The three-flowered cat walks in small, small steps, and occasionally turns its head to look at him strangely as it walks beside him. The gait of the bay red horse seems to have remained unchanged for several years. Mind, just keep going.

History has its own course of history.

He will always give his own answer.

It's just that I don't know how the world will comment on it thousands of years later, and how future generations will figure out the important node in history that is going on now.
