When Xiao Yinghuai arrived at Jinyun City, the battle had just ended.
The royal army of the Tata'er tribe failed to break through Jinyun City, so the city seemed to be in good order.
However, the city head and its vicinity were still affected by the battlefield and were in a mess, with blood mixed with the scorched earth burned by the fire.
When Xiao Yinghuai found Xiao Yunyue, Xiao Yunyue was listening to what Fan Wuzhao said to him at the city gate, his brows still furrowed.
Fan Wuzhao was the first to see Xiao Yinghuai coming over, cupping his fists and saluting: "Coach."
Xiao Yinghuai was also wearing armor and nodded: "Kang Ming, long time no see." Fan Wuzhao knew that the father and son had not seen each other for half a month, so he immediately said with a look that there were still important things in the city waiting for him to deal with, so he left first. .
After sending Fan Wuzhao away, Xiao Yinghuai turned his attention to his son. When he saw that his face was gray and his shoulder seemed to be injured, he asked, "Are you okay?"
Xiao Yunyue followed his father's gaze and looked at his shoulder, then shrugged nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, it's just a minor injury."
On the battlefield, swords and guns are blind, and arrows will not fly around you just because you are the emperor's nephew.
Xiao Yinghuai and Xiao Yunyue often faced battles when they were so old, so they naturally knew this truth. Seeing Xiao Yunyue's angry words, it was not a serious injury after thinking about it.
The father and son walked side by side to the Hou Mansion. People in the city often stopped to salute Xiao Yinghuai after seeing him. At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that Xiao Yunyue looked almost as tall as Xiao Yinghuai.
Especially when both of them were talking seriously at this time, although their appearance did not look exactly the same, they felt like they were carved from the same mold.
Xiao Yunyue and Xiao Yinghuai briefly reported on the battle situation last night.
The Tatar tribe originally planned to make a sneak attack at night, but the golden eagle that hunted back late at night exposed its whereabouts, so it had to change from a sneak attack to an open attack.
Although Jinyun City is fortified and deep, the Sixteenth Cavalry of Youyun are elite cavalry serving as vanguards and cannot only defend but not attack.
Xiao Yunyue's first charge after he led the Sixteenth Cavalry out of the city broke through the left wing of King Tata'er's army. If Tata'er's troops had not retreated quickly, the Sixteenth Cavalry and the frontier troops behind them would have almost formed an encirclement. , made dumplings on the entire left wing and ate it.
But even so, Tata'er's losses were still considerable, and in the end he could only withdraw his troops in embarrassment.
Although the attack on Shuofang City had some difficulties a few days ago, the cavalry in Shuofang City was not as good as Youyun Sixteen Cavalry. The Tatar cavalry, who grew up on horses, naturally looked down upon Dayan's cavalry.
But after one experience with Youyun's Sixteenth Cavalry, the Tata tribe probably understood that the title of Dayan's number one cavalry was by no means groundless.
Of course, the defenders of Jinyun City also suffered losses, but after listening to Fan Wuzhao and his report just now, Xiao Yunyue felt that the losses were still within the acceptable range.
After Xiao Yinghuai heard what Xiao Yunyue said about the war situation, his brows relaxed slightly, and he patted Xiao Yunyue's shoulder to confirm his yesterday's victory.
Xiao Yinghuai will grow old one day, and the Xiao family's military flag will be handed over to Xiao Yunyue sooner or later. Seeing Xiao Yunyue gradually losing the last of his childishness and becoming more mature and steady, Xiao Yinghuai suddenly felt a sense of relief.
After returning home, Xiao Yinghuai asked Xiao Yunyue to wash up first, and he sat in the main hall drinking tea and waiting for him.
Xiao Yunyue quickly washed his face, changed his clothes and came out, returning to his usual handsome and heroic appearance.
Xiao Yinghuai raised his head and asked him: "Didn't you like to drink Qimen Tuanhuang in the past? Your mother also asked me to bring you some. Why is this orchid tea prepared in the house?" This orchid tea is still Yuan Miaoyi Handmade, Xiao Yunyue brought it to Jinyuncheng specially to relieve his lovesickness. The people in the mansion must have seen him cherishing it and thought it was fine tea, so they brewed it for Xiao Yinghuai.
However, it was not easy to tell his father about the love between children. Xiao Yunyue coughed lightly and just said that he wanted a change of taste. Besides, when the battle was about to begin, he could just drink whatever he had, and he didn't care about this. .
Xiao Yinghuai had no intention of pursuing such a trivial matter. After talking about the war, it was naturally time to talk about other things.
The eldest princess of Jinyang was a little confused when she received Xiao Yunyue's escort all the way from Jinyun City to Beijing a few days ago. After hearing what the escort said about what happened in Jinyun City, she was really angry.
The eldest princess had no impression of Fan Ruyi and just sneered after hearing her little tricks.
The eldest princess felt that a little lady who could do such dirty things was just a concubine, which was a disgrace to her family.
Like Xiao Yunyue, she was more concerned about the fact that the servants of the Hou Mansion could be bribed to add medicine to the tea at will. This time it was just a fun medicine, but what if it was poison next time?
The eldest princess knew that Xiao Yunyue sent people all the way back to the capital just because she didn't want to make a big deal out of the matter in Jinyun City. If she was only in the capital, she would just sell some servants in her house, and no one would notice.
After Xiao Yinghuai finished talking about this, he added lightly: "When I left Beijing, your mother was already looking at the betrothal gift list at the house."
Xiao Yunyue opened his mouth and said after a while: "Why should mother be anxious? There is no telling when this war will end."
Seeing his son like that, Xiao Yinghuai gave a rare smile and said, "Only your mother is anxious, aren't you?"
The eldest princess was sorting out the betrothal gift list, although part of her reason was that she was happy that her son's marriage had finally been settled, and the person she was very satisfied with was Yuan Miaoyi.
After all, judging from the way he used to be polite to the ladies in the past, the eldest princess had always been worried that he was going to die alone.
Of course, more importantly, her husband and son are now on the battlefield. Although she has long been used to this, she is always worried in her heart.
There was something else to do, it was a happy event, and it could distract her attention a little bit.
Xiao Yunyue blushed a little at what his father said. Of course, he hoped that the war would end tomorrow and that he could marry his sweetheart in a good way.
After Xiao Yinghuai finished talking about what the eldest princess told him to tell his son, he also smiled and said: "Your marriage will wait until after the war. The Tata'er tribe is not much worse than Rouran. You must not underestimate the enemy."
Xiao Yunyue also said seriously: "This is natural, I understand it in my heart."
Having said this, Xiao Yinghuai simply stood up and asked his son to follow him to the study to look at the map.
It just so happened that in addition to last night's battle, Xiao Yunyue also wanted to tell Xiao Yinghuai about the extremely secret weapon of the Tata'er Department that was not seen on the battlefield last night and could suppress crossbow arrows.
The father and son talked in the study until late at night, and they still hadn't explained everything clearly.
However, after all, Xiao Yunyue had just faced the battle last night. Xiao Yinghuai also felt sorry for his son, so he offered to talk about it tomorrow and let Xiao Yunyue go to rest.
Thanks for the monthly pass that I didn’t have a name for. Thanks for the recommendation vote of Daqi who didn't think of a good name, Hua Jinzhou &, who thinks it's juice and dreams of getting rich. Thank you so much! (艸`)
