When Yun Xiao found Shao Jingyu, Shao Jingyu was already lying on the grass, half asleep and half awake. When Yun Xiao pushed him awake, he grunted twice, slapped his hand away and said angrily, "What are you doing? You're disturbing my sweet dream!"
From the pampered Shao Gongzi to the comfortable General Shao, Shao Jingyu's adaptation speed is astonishing. Yun Xiao dragged him up in despair, "If Yiming hadn't said that you might catch a cold lying here, I wouldn't bother to care!"
"Yiming," Shao Jingyu suddenly woke up, bent his knees and sat up, put his arms on his knees and waved to Yun Xiao, "Come here."
Yun Xiao came over, "What's the matter?"
"I think..."
When the words came to my lips, I found that no matter how I said it, it didn't feel right. I think Yiming looks better when he smiles than women? I feel like I have some impure intentions towards this grown man?
That's not right. Shao Jingyu frowned. "It's not what I think. What do you think of Yiming?"
This was really vague and sounded strange, but Yun Xiao was too thick-skinned and cooperated by slapping his thigh and saying, "Yiming, great! He's better looking than a woman, and he can fight, sew, and paint. He's perfect except that he can't have children. If he wasn't a man, I would definitely..."
"Get lost!" Shao Jingyu kicked the man away and said angrily, "Shut your mouth and put away your dirty thoughts. If you have such thoughts again, I will break your legs. Keep your distance from Yiming from now on!"
Yun Xiao inexplicably rushed a few meters away, feeling very aggrieved, "Why?"
Because I'm unhappy! Shao Jingyu rolled up from the grass, took two steps, and warned Yun Xiao not to follow him. Then he shook his clothes and strode away.
After wandering around aimlessly for a while, he went to look for Yan Yiming. When he found him, Yan Yiming was already sleeping in a makeshift tent. Perhaps it was a little chilly at night, Yan Yiming curled himself up into a ball. He was neither as cold and indifferent as usual nor as murderous as on the battlefield. He slept well and comfortably.
Shao Jingyu couldn't help but slow down his pace. He walked over and squatted beside Yan Yiming, staring at her for a long time. He couldn't help but flick her long eyelashes with his fingers.
Before leaving, he covered her with his cloak. When he passed by some soldiers who were still talking excitedly, he sternly scolded them, "Didn't you see that Lieutenant Yan was sleeping?"
But your voice is clearly the loudest, and the soldiers dare not say anything and can only complain in their hearts.
"We need to get back to the camp tomorrow morning, go and get some rest."
"Yes," several people nodded and then found a place to sleep. Yan Yiming, who was woken up, narrowed his eyes, looked at the cloak on his body and Shao Jingyu who was gradually walking away, chuckled and closed his eyes again.
One night and dawn.
If they stayed here too long, they might encounter the Mongolian army again. After a night of peace, Shao Jingyu dared not delay any longer. After checking the troops, he led the soldiers and rushed back to the camp.
It was not until this moment that Shao Jingyu remembered Cao Hui, whom Cao Meng had given him. Cao Hui's official position was higher than Yan Yiming. Yan Yiming didn't know whether Cao Hui would be in trouble when he sent troops this time.
Yan Yiming tightened his grip on the reins and said in a cold tone, "Of course."
"Then how did you convince him?"
Before Shao Jingyu could speak, Yun Xiao interrupted.
Shao Jingyu immediately whipped Yun Xiao's mount, and after watching Yun Xiao suddenly dash several meters away, he said with satisfaction, "Cao Hui is not a pushover. It will be difficult to convince him."
Yan Yiming nodded, as if he was talking about something very ordinary, "So I had him tied up."
Tie, tie, tie?
Not to mention Yun Xiao who came back embarrassedly, even Shao Jingyu was shocked. Yan Yiming was bolder and more decisive than he had imagined.
"Aren't you afraid of offending him?" Yun Xiao gasped. "The Cao family is very petty!"
Yan Yiming looked at Shao Jingyu, pursed his lips and said, "Isn't there still a general?"
Shao Jingyu was overjoyed by these words. "Yiming was following my orders, so what can he do even if it was Cao Meng?" He suddenly put away his smile and said coldly, "I will have to question him about his fault for this mistake."
Cao Meng led his troops but got lost, which prevented the two armies from joining forces smoothly. If Yan Yiming had not arrived in time, he and the ten thousand cavalry would have died in the vast grassland.
When the army finally returned to the camp, Cao Meng and the other two generals had already returned.
Cao Meng was just as Duke Dingguo had evaluated him. Although he was proficient in martial arts, he was nowhere near as good as Duke Ningguo. When he first went to the battlefield, he was no match for the experienced left and right generals. He even made such a low-level mistake as getting lost.
As a result, the military plan was greatly delayed as to how the 10,000 elite troops could go out and come back.
Cao Meng also knew that he could not escape responsibility this time. He was even more annoyed when he did not see Shao Jingyu coming back day after day. Cao Hui, who was sent to Shao Jingyu's side, sued him and accused Yan Yiming of sending troops without permission. He became even more furious and said, "This is simply lawless!"
The two generals on the left and right, the left general met Zuo Xian Wang of the Mongolian army during the march, but because the vanguard army was separated from the rear, the two armies were separated and were surrounded by Zuo Xian Wang, suffering heavy casualties and almost being wiped out. The left general stabilized the morale of the army with his lone blood, and then escaped from the encirclement with only 30% of the remaining soldiers.
The Right General's progress was extremely smooth this time, but on the way back he unexpectedly encountered the army of Zuo Xian Wang, which had just fought a fierce battle with the Left General. After another fierce battle, although the Xia army suffered heavy casualties, the Mongolian army was even more destitute.
Now, only Shao Jingyu's main force and the rescue army led by the deputy lieutenant under Shao Jingyu have not returned.
Ten thousand men facing off against the main force of the Mongolian army is terrifying just by thinking about it. It is not known whether the deputy captain has met up with General Shao. If not, both of them may be in great danger.
Several generals waited in the camp for another two days with worried faces, and finally heard the sound of cavalry's slow footsteps. Shao Jingyu's familiar face, as moving as the last time, appeared in front of everyone.
There was also the thin and weak little deputy general beside him.
Almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what the battle situation was, as long as they could return safely, they were blessed.
But unexpectedly, Shao Jingyu had a bigger surprise.
Only 3,000 of the 10,000 elite cavalry have returned safely, but the Mongolian army has lost 30,000 combat forces! He also eliminated all the Mongolian kings in the Yinshan area and forced the Mongolian army to retreat to the north.
If the Right General won this battle, then Shao Jingyu's victory was a well-deserved victory!
No one dared to ask how Shao Jingyu, with only 10,000 men, was able to hold out against the Mongolian army for two days, and what kind of tragedy he must have gone through before he had a chance of survival. Everyone only knew that Shao Jingyu was indeed a natural talent!
After a great battle, no one could match Shao Jingyu's prestige.
Even though he is just an eighteen-year-old boy.
Shao Jingyu sat at the main seat in the account hall. Cao Meng, who had been dissatisfied before, no longer dared to say a word. The other old generals also respectfully called him General Shao.
His Majesty will make the decision on Cao Meng and the left and right generals once the battle report is sent to the capital. However, Shao Jingyu can personally reward Yan Yiming, the greatest hero in this battle, and the soldiers who fought to protect him.
The most outstanding soldiers in this battle were appointed as eighth and ninth grade captains and deputy captains. No one objected until Shao Jingyu announced that Yan Yiming would be the cavalry captain, and Cao Hui could no longer sit still.
The Cavalry Commandant was ranked fifth grade, and from now on he was at the same level as him. Cao Hui still resented Yan Yiming for tying him up in the camp and causing him to lose face in front of the soldiers. Now, he did not pursue the fault of Yan Yiming for sending troops privately and even rewarded him generously. How could Cao Hui tolerate this?
However, Cao Hui did not see clearly that after this battle, Shao Jingyu was no longer the Shao Jingyu who could allow Cao Meng to stuff people into his office at will. Cao Hui did not even understand that this time even Cao Meng might not be able to keep his official position.
Cao Hui stood up and righteously accused Yan Yiming of sending troops without permission, and said with a red face and thick neck that Yan Yiming was bullying his superiors. He did not take Yan Yiming seriously at all, and even tied him up when he was not paying attention.
As soon as he finished speaking, several people present couldn't help but laugh.
Cao Hui's face became more and more red and angry. Following the sound, he found that the one who was laughing most obviously was Deputy General Yun who was following Shao Jingyu. Yan Yiming, who was beside Deputy General Yun, looked at him coldly with a mocking look on his face.
Cao Meng wanted to kick Cao Hui out.
Although he was extremely dissatisfied with Yan Yiming's behavior this time, now that Shao Jingyu had returned victoriously, Cao Meng did not dare to mention the matter again.
It was his own mistake that led Shao Jingyu into danger. If it weren't for Yan Yiming, Shao Jingyu might have to stay on this grassland forever, and would have been sentenced to death.
As long as Shao Jingyu is alive, he has a chance to survive.
So no matter what Yan Yiming did, he was grateful to him. Who would have thought that Cao Hui would stand up and accuse Yan Yiming!
Everyone knew who Cao Hui belonged to. Cao Meng immediately became restless and rebuked Shao Jingyu before he could even open his mouth, "Does the general need your approval to act?"
Cao Hui was stunned.
Shao Jingyu tapped the wooden chair lightly with his fingers, and the sound fell into Cao Meng's ears, which was even horrifying. After a long time, he heard Shao Jingyu slowly mocking,
"fool."
Cao Hui's face, which had been red just now, suddenly turned pale.
"If it weren't for Vice Captain Yan's timely dispatch of troops, this general would have been buried in Yinshan Mountain, and there would be no great victory this time, let alone sitting here peacefully, marching and fighting. If everyone is as pedantic and inflexible as you, then Chenxia Jiangshan would have been given to others long ago! If you say so, then in the last battle, this general chased after the King of Mobei without orders, shouldn't I also be convicted?"
There was no trace of a smile on Shao Jingyu's handsome features, and he looked suffocating as if a storm was about to come.
Cao Hui fell to his knees with a thud, "I have absolutely no such intention!"
Shao Jingyu sneered with a half-smile, ignoring Cao Hui who was still kneeling, and said to the others in a serious tone, "Vice-Captain Yan did not go out on his own initiative, but was ordered by this general before the war. I have written down all the merits and demerits in the memorial. If you are not convinced, just wait for the emperor's order."
Cao Meng felt a darkness before his eyes. He wanted to ask Shao Jingyu to keep something secret, but after what Cao Hui did, Shao Jingyu would definitely not take sides anymore.
I wanted to say something else, but Shao Jingyu had already impatiently asked everyone to leave.
A few days later, His Royal Highness the King of Yue, who was guarding Peking a hundred miles away, came to Beidaying in person. Everyone came out of the camp and knelt to see him. Facing the King of Yue's cold eyes, Cao Meng understood that this time, he was really finished.
