Chapter 180
"Grandpa, where have you been?"
At the crematorium, Da Wangba was used to working at night and sleeping during the day. After the three corpses were burnt, he didn't feel sleepy, waiting for Qin He to come back.
Qin He lay on the bedding, took out the magical little book from his arms, ticked the line behind Wang Laoqi begging for a son in the tailor shop, and then slowly said: "It's a big nosy business."
"Business?"
Dawang Ba tilted his head, not knowing why.
"It's not an idle thing." Qin He said again.
Da Wangba became even more confused when he heard this, and said: "My godfather warned me before, saying don't meddle in my own business, there is no benefit in meddling too much."
"Your godfather still taught you this?" Qin He glanced at him.
"My godfather has lived for more than four hundred years, so he has a lot of experience." The king said with a smile on his face.
"Yes, I have a lot of experience." Qin He raised his mouth slightly, paused and asked, "What else did your godfather say?"
"Godfather said that mortal beings have their own destiny, meddling in other's affairs is interfering with heaven's secrets, and it will be tainted with karma." Dawangba didn't notice Qin He's abnormality, and chatted.
Qin He frowned slightly, "Cause and effect?"
"That's what godfather said." Da Wang Ba nodded.
"Do you understand cause and effect?" Qin He asked.
Dawang Ba shook his head, and then said several sentences without any further information.
Qin He shook his head. After all, his own path of practice was a bit shallow.
However, he didn't worry about it. It's still the same sentence. Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, and it will be resolved.
...
At this moment, the Beijing army camp outside the city of Baoan Prefecture.
Gao Qiqian, the eunuch of the supervising army, feasted on the troops.
The emperor decreed that Gao Qiqian, the supervising army, led an army to rescue Baoan Prefecture, and beheaded more than 500 Di captives for meritorious service.
This was naturally a celebration banquet, more than a hundred generals from the Beijing camp gathered for the banquet, and the scene was very lively.
"My father-in-law strategized and won a thousand miles!"
"Congratulations, Eunuch, the Sacred Heart favors you!"
"..."
All the generals were so drunk that they toasted frequently.
Gao Qiqian's face was also full of red, and he would not refuse anyone who came, and he was almost unsteady.
But in the audience, there was a person who sat up straight and looked at the crooked banquet with a worried face.
This person is Cao Wenzhao's nephew, Cao Wenming.
Cao Wenming was one of the few civil servants among the generals of the Cao family, and was sent by Cao Wenzhao to the Beijing camp for liaison.
Since the Ming Dynasty built the northern line of defense, the army has roughly been divided into two parts.
The first is the frontier army, stationed on the nine frontiers, reaching the front line of the war with Di Lu and the Rong people. Most of the leaders are Liaodong generals. The second piece is the Beijing camp, which belongs to the emperor's personal soldiers and is stationed in the capital. Most of the leaders are eunuchs who supervise the army.
The two blocks are distinct from each other, and they are wary of each other and compete with each other.
Cao Wenzhao defeated Di Lu, and Gao Qiqian, who was watching the fire from behind, immediately traveled 800 miles a day to rush to the front line of Baoan Prefecture. To put it bluntly, he wanted to grab credit.
It's a pity that he came a little late, so he had the cheek to report five hundred beheadings.
If he had come earlier, he would have dared to report 10,000 beheads.
Even so, Gao Qiqian took half of the credit for the solid thin-line defense this time.
Because rushing to help is also a credit, Emperor Dali was wary of the border troops who had never been very obedient.
But Cao Wenming is not concerned at the moment whether it is reasonable for the Beijing camp to take half of the credit. He is more concerned that the 80,000 people in the Beijing camp are now in an extremely dangerous situation.
Born in the general family of Cao's family, even if he was a civil servant, Cao Wenming knew the style and temper of Di Lu's generals very well.
Although Brother Aqi is injured, is he really powerless to fight back?
Di Lu's secret works spread all over Dali, and Brother Aqi definitely knew that the Beijing camp had reached the front line.
And Brother Aqi is famous for his bravery in battle and quick action. He is tough face to face, and I am afraid that there is no opponent in this world.
Xuanfu is only a hundred miles away from here, and the cavalry can reach it in half a day.
More importantly, Achigo's infantry suffered heavy casualties, but the cavalry retained considerable strength.
Uncle Cao Wenzhao repeatedly urged Cao Wenming to remind Gao Qiqian before chasing Dilu's defeated army that Brother Aqi still had the power to fight back, so he must set up his camp tightly to prevent Dilu from counterattacking.
But it had been three days since Gao Qiqian arrived at the city of Baoanzhou, and the camp had been set up in vain, completely fooling people.
Tonight is the whole army drunk.
What if Dilu sent out a surprise army to attack at this time?
With Di Lu's combat power, not many are needed, a few thousand men are enough.
Uncle on the front line only brought the remaining 3,000 cavalry, and it was impossible to completely stare at Di Lu.
That's the result?
Thinking of this, Cao Wenming shivered, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said to Gao Qiqian: "Elder-in-law, I think this banquet is about the same, why don't all the generals return to their camps to prevent Di Lu from making a surprise attack."
"Dilu's surprise attack, how is it possible, hahaha~" Gao Qiqian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.
"Hahaha, yes."
"Nearly half of Di Lu was killed and injured, and there was no food and grass. What surprise attack?"
"It's not enough for them to eat people in Xuanzhou City, it's a joke."
The generals also laughed when they heard this.
A general slapped the table and said, "If we don't attack the Xuan Mansion, even if Brother Aqi burns high incense, he still dares to come to Bao'an Prefecture, that's courting death!"
"That's right, the Fourth Battalion of our Beijing Army, with 50,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry, can drown Aqige with a mouthful of saliva." Some generals agreed.
When Cao Wenming heard this, his face turned red and white alternately, and he felt the urge to lift the table.
Gao Qiqian smiled and said: "Nephew, you are a civil servant, so you may not know much about military affairs. The so-called soldiers and horses go before the food and grass are used. Brother Aqi was not prepared enough to enter the customs this time. He was defeated a few days ago and most of the food and grass were burned. , it is already precarious, my nephew can drink with peace of mind, if he is not drunk today, he will not return!"
"But father-in-law, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case." Cao Wenming insisted.
"Nephew Cao Xian, don't worry, Mr. Gong Zhibing, just keep your heart in your stomach, come, drink!" Another general came to Cao Wenming directly with a glass of wine.
Cao Wenming had no choice but to pick up the cup and deal with him first.
For some reason, he always felt that the atmosphere tonight was not right and something was going to happen.
This person, sometimes feels amazingly accurate, the kind that doesn't need too many reasons.
"Boom..."
Afraid of something, at this moment, there was a muffled tremor on the ground under his feet. It was very slight at first, almost imperceptible, but it soon became clear.
Immediately afterwards, a panic-stricken scout rushed in and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Brother Aqi led five thousand cavalry to attack! It's only three miles away from the camp!"
The sound of some shrill reports instantly silenced the banquet, and the muffled tremors that were not obvious at first became extremely clear immediately.
Gao Qiqian was stunned, and the next moment he screamed: "Quick, defend! Defend! Defend!"
"Go back to camp and call everyone up!"
"Hurry up!"
All the generals woke up after drinking, and rushed to their respective camps immediately.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and countless wine tables were overturned.
