Chapter 242 The old part of the former dynasty
Chen Xian held General Huo's hand and asked him to get up, saying, "General, he has worked hard and made great contributions. Please get up quickly. Jingxian cannot bear such a great gift."
When General Huo stood up, he was crying and said, "I heard that the princess was confused and ignorant of the world before. Now when I saw her, the princess was sober and understood. It was a blessing for the Great Chu!"
Chen Xian said: "That's all the past."
"Princess, please come to the city."
Chen Xian was still unable to adapt to the fact that a border general who made great contributions was respectful to her.
Among the three of them, Su Zhe had the most idea. Seeing Su Zhe nodding, Chen Xian agreed to enter the city.
General Huo hurriedly said, "Mr. Su, Mr. He, please."
Chen Xian walked in front and suddenly felt that Su Zhe deliberately refused to enter the city on the outskirts of the city just to attract General Huo to see him first.
After entering the city, General Huo may not be able to kneel down at her in front of everyone and call himself a minister.
Especially the words General Huo said to her just now, "He has grown so old" that Chen Xian felt very moved.
Sure enough, later General Huo only respected her as "Princess Jingxian".
He You was also shocked and confused. Although Chen Xian was a princess, there was no need for General Huo to react and treat him like this. But he was only confused in his heart and did not say a word.
At present, the city gate is right in front of it, and the fire is brighter.
General Huo asked: "Princess and Lord Su, why did Mr. He make such a mess? Why are there only you three?"
Chen Xian said: "We were attacked halfway, and there were only three of us left. Lord Su and I did not set out at the same time. He and Deputy Envoy He's guard were left behind. We had to wait a few days before we could arrive."
General Huo asked subconsciously: "Can anyone who attacked the sneak attackers go back alive?"
Chen Xian looked up at Su Zhe, and saw that he looked calm, so he had to respond: "No."
General Huo said: "That's good."
Chen Xian's brows pounded, and she knew it in her heart.
After entering the city, every household stayed in their doors and didn't even dare to light a lamp, for fear of causing trouble. Soldiers patrolled and walked by on the street from time to time. In addition, the street was empty and lonely, with a storm.
The entire Xuancheng was shrouded in a sluggish and depressing atmosphere.
The bones in the mass grave are not cold, and everyone in the city is in danger. No wonder there are lifelessness everywhere.
He You's condition has been not very good. He vomited again at the gate of the city, and his face turned a little blue. He could not ignore the fishy smell and the smell of rotten or burnt floating in the air.
This smell is disgusting, especially when it is known that it is emitted from the soldiers who died in battle on the front line. So many dead people have been buried in the pits of massacres, it is impossible to completely cover up the smell.
The more He You wants to ignore it, the more sensitive the senses become.
It was getting late, so General Huo took the three of them to a mansion that he had packed up and settled them up and prepared food.
I will talk about other matters after I have prepared my spirits tomorrow.
The mansion was very safe, with soldiers guarding it everywhere. General Huo left after the arrangement was made, and the three of them went to the inner courtyard room to wash up.
As soon as they arrived at the inner courtyard, Chen Xian finally couldn't help it and slapped in the flower bed with He You, and vomited wildly.
He You vomited and reached out to Chen Xian's back, saying hard: "You can really bear it..."
Chen Xian also said with difficulty: "Just, I am a princess, this is the front line of the battlefield, and the generals and soldiers who are fighting. If you are useless, you can't let them think I am useless, otherwise they will look down on us even more."
The inner courtyard is lush with plants, and the yard is full of green trees with lush branches and leaves, so the air is quite good.
It was already very good for General Huo to settle them in this yard.
After vomiting, the two of them stood up with their waists and turned to look at Su Zhe.
The light of the lanterns made the night in the yard gray, and he stood under the lamp, as if nothing had happened.
Chen Xian expressed admiration for his amazing patience and said astonished: "Su Zhe, has this unpleasant smell not made you feel any discomfort?"
Su Zhe said: "I'm okay, I'm more adaptable."
He could imagine the blood and killing on the battlefield without seeing it in time. No matter how many people died, no matter how much blood was, it was just like yesterday for him.
He is already used to it.
The three of them went back to the room to wash, and then someone brought the food for food.
After washing my body, I feel refreshed and even this unpleasant smell can be more patient.
But once the door was closed, there was almost no smell.
The food on the table was simple and simple, which was already a good meal for the army. However, Chen Xian and He You, who had just had a nausea, obviously had no appetite.
After eating a few bites, He You returned to the room to sleep in a drowsy way. He didn't even have a good night's sleep in the past few days.
Su Zhe fell down a cup of tea and handed it to Chen Xian, saying, "Do you feel better now?"
Chen Xian picked up the teacup and sipped it. The tea tasted very light, and she nodded.
"What do you want to ask?"
Chen Xian looked up at him, "It seems that you know I have something to ask you, then you must know what I want to ask."
"About General Huo?" Su Zhe said softly.
Chen Xian asked: "General Huo...is he also an old minister of the previous dynasty? Today I saw that you and him were not the first time I met you, and his attitude towards you is obviously very different."
"General Huo was the subordinate of the late emperor before. Although he stayed in that political chaos and was sent to this side to guard the border, he had no real power."
"The real power is in the hands of the general Zhennan today."
"Zhao Tianqi is a military general appointed by the emperor. He holds the military power of the border army in his hand to suppress the old officials and generals of the previous dynasty." Su Zhe looked faint and said, "After a political chaos, the emperor implemented a policy of reprimanding these military generals, but now, most of them are undermined by military power. 1;148471591054062"
Chen Xian said: "This is the case in Xuancheng, so the generals guarding in other places are also people around the emperor, holding military power. Old subordinates like General Huo only have prestige but no real power in the army. The emperor needs to use them to stabilize the morale of the army, but once a war breaks out, they will definitely be the first to be sent out to charge, right?"
Su Zhe glanced at her and said, "Axian is smart."
Chen Xian really felt very unhappy to let old generals like General Huo rush forward, and there were people like Zhao Tianqi behind him who monopolized the power and took care of others' lives.
General Huo was still safe and sound after this war. I believe that not only was he experienced, but he was also very capable of leading the army during the war.
Su Zhe said that General Huo was ordered to guard the border, and the western border of Da Chu was a barbarian. As General Zhenxi, he could not leave his post without taking advantage of the civil turmoil of Da Chu and let the barbarians enter the country. Da Chu was worried about internal and external troubles and was in danger.
