Chapter 492 Storm (32)

The Dongdu Army came very quickly.

At the beginning, it was Tu Wan Chang Lun and Zhao Tuo. The former had 10,000 forbidden troops and the latter had 10,000 Huaiyang County soldiers... It was the arrival of the latter that made people realize that Sima Zheng was coming... because of Zhao Tuo.

The thousand-year-old wallflower and his Huaiyang County should have been the fruits of victory in this battle, but now they are acting like this. Unless there is an army of the Eastern Capital behind them, it is really unimaginable.

And sure enough, before targeted reconnaissance activities could be launched on a large scale, the Dongdu Army's sequence appeared in sight.

This caused the generals who had just moved to Qiaocheng to become obviously commotion.

"There are very few forwards, only 2,000 people, and they have already arrived at Guyang City. There are a lot of troops in the middle, at least 30,000, and we can't detect them at the moment. I don't know if there are any troops in the rear, and where they are... We have sent patrols to go around from the rear.

Investigation started..."

"The Chinese army is led by Sima Zheng himself?"

"At least it's a big flag with the word "Sima" on it, and looking at the flag, it's a square flag with embroidery at the level of a general."

"Sure enough, it's here!"

"It came so quickly!"

"More than 30,000 people are logarithmic. Even if he leaves behind defensive troops, it will be enough to bring the people Wang Dai accumulated."

"There is indeed a King's flag."

"Let me tell you, the prisoners said that they went to the west and didn't see Wang Daiji before they turned back... and it turned out that they should be here."

"We just had a big war, is it going to be another big war? This time it's our turn to be attacked by Yiyi, right?"

"The losses were indeed considerable. Several battalions were crippled. The three battalions of Shang Er, Zhai Da and Xiao Jia were basically lost."

"There were Zhang Qianda and Li Anyuan behind them. They had won the battle and retreated on their own..."

"We have already asked Shan Longtou to lead eight battalions. If it still doesn't work, then it really won't work."

"Where is Yu Jiuluo? Does he also have ten thousand people? Or has he been defeated?"

"It's hard to say where Yujiluo is..."

"What do you mean it's not good?"

"The Huaiyou League said they had a great victory, but in the end, Yu Jiuluo was not seen throughout the whole process... The current theory is that Yu Jiuluo and his deputy general separated their forces, and it was the deputy general who won, and Yu Jiuluo disappeared out of thin air."

"Disappeared? Is he really a fish swimming into the Huai River?"

"It's also a trouble. What if a grandmaster suddenly appears behind us with five thousand soldiers?"

"Four battalions were sent to assist the Huaiyou Alliance."

"Then if you think about it, we can still have thirty battalions here? That's pretty good!"

"What a waste! There are tens of thousands of prisoners, how many people should be left to guard them? And don't forget, we have lost a lot."

"I estimate that there are about 20 battalions here against 50,000 or 60,000 of them. Overall, there are 356 battalions against 89,000 of them..."

"We finally won a great victory, but why did we become disadvantaged in the blink of an eye?"

"This is the fundamental reason why the chief was unwilling to fight this battle before... Fighting may not have obvious benefits, nor will there be any obvious change in the situation. Instead, it will waste troops and horses and increase casualties..."

"If it's to destroy Xue Changxiong, it's worth dying no matter how many times you die..."

"Guyang City...isn't Guyang City on the east bank of the Whirlpool River?"

"It should be said that it is the north bank. The Guohe River turns upstream here and runs east-west... Therefore, although Guyang City is on the other bank, it is still under the cover of Tuwan Changlun and Zhao Tuo."

"It's a wonderful move, but what's the use of two thousand people? It would be a fool's errand to try to cut off our retreat or threaten the rear, right?"

"It should be a fulcrum. If we really want to do something, we will definitely add more troops, but it is said that there is a grandmaster inside..."

"Grandmaster?! Who?!"

"A notice was posted saying that Wang Huaitong, Wei Gong's half-way teacher, was there..."

"This is really..."

"Wang Huaitong personally led the troops?"

"No, the leader is Li Qingchen, a black man born in Jing'an. He is currently the commander of Jing'an, but he was transferred to the captaincy of Huaiyang County in the middle..."

"That makes sense."

"Why does Li Qingchen sound familiar?"

"We have captured him before... Cao Lin was still in charge at that time, and Han Yingong was brought over by him and Leader Lu."

"I remembered……"

There was a lot of discussion outside, and across a high-grade curtain with cloud patterns in the imperial army of the Wei Dynasty, Li Ding and Xu Shiying were facing each other. They listened together, but their eyes were slanted on Zhang Xing who was sitting in the small tent after a few cases.

On the body, the latter is writing a letter.

This guy has written too many letters these days.

After waiting for a while, seeing Zhang Xing finish writing the letter, fold it carefully, call for a clerk, and send the letter away in the ordinary way of internal communication, Li Ding finally spoke slowly: "Huai Tong Gong followed Sima Zheng.

, the old friend is a trouble at the moment, but in the long run, it may not be a bad thing."

Zhang Xing nodded absently.

Xu Shiying also nodded in approval.

The reason is very simple. Wang Huaitong is a master, or he comes from a top family in Jin Dynasty, and he is very famous as the direct descendant of Jin Gefuzi. Even with Jin Gefuzi's physical condition, it can be said that Wang Huaitong's status as an orthodox cultivator in the world is short.

No one can shake it for a long time... But it is a pity that such a person whose mere existence is extremely valuable is unlikely to be a "thief". If he is not a thief, he is nothing more than Bai or Sima...

...And judging from the foreseeable world situation in the future, of course the gang still hopes that he will resign from Sima Zheng.

After all, Bai Hengqiu's strength and development path are even more alarming.

"Compared with Wang Huaitong, I care more about Li Qingchen..." Zhang Xing looked at Qin Bao behind him. "Erlang, isn't Li Qingchen useless? Why did Sima Zheng come back to life after he left?"

"I don't know either." Qin Bao shook his head. "But it's hard to say. I almost died that day, but I'm still alive now..."

"Are you feeling depressed?" Zhang Xing thought thoughtfully. "Now that Sima Zheng has gone and Dongdu has been saved, is there hope?"

Qin Bao just shook his head.

"Erlang, don't think too much." Zhang Xing comforted him in turn. "The Qingdiguan Taoist who sells medicine said it's okay. Xu Dalang didn't find anything when he used the Immortality Qi to probe you. I don't think it's just Cao Lin who suffered like that.

Use your own methods, and then rely on Dongdu’s local energy, so after Cao Lin is dead and you have crossed the river, there is no need to worry about it anymore.”

Qin Bao nodded casually at first, but in the end he couldn't help but sigh: "It would be really amazing if Li Twelve Lang really came through with such a condition."

"What do you say?" Zhang Xing had already stood up and left several cases. He was gathering the information on the cases and preparing to take them out, so he just asked casually.

"Before I got sick that time, I was in good health. I had never thought of suffering such a hardship when I got injured." Qin Bao said seriously. "Including those people in history books and novels who said that so and so were heroic, but suddenly fell ill, and everything happened.

The heroic spirit has disappeared, or simply withdrawn from the book, which feels incredible. Occasionally, I see someone who is disabled or injured, but can still do things. The book praises him for his physical disability and strong will. It is true, but I feel

What a fuss... Even when I saw Li Qingchen's devilish look, I thought he was a bit pretentious... It wasn't until I suffered a crime that I realized how amazing it is to be physically disabled but mentally strong."

Several people in the room had some surprised reactions. It was obvious that they realized that this was a rare expression of Qin Bao's true feelings and he spoke from the bottom of his heart.

After a pause, Li Ding smiled faintly: "If Li Twelve really came here because of illness, I don't know whether he is more powerful or Sima Erlang is more powerful?"

Several people nodded, sighed, and walked out.

It seems that although the situation outside is worrying, the military command core of the gang is still quite relaxed.

When they came outside, many leaders below Xiong Bonan were talking about each other. When they saw these three people coming, they all stopped talking... Zhang Xing took a few people to sit down, and he was as straightforward as ever:

"A few things, please remember them."

Everyone was in awe, and in addition to the peripheral clerks and soldiers, there were even many military leaders who inexplicably took out small notebooks and took charcoal pens to make notes.

"The first thing is the rewards and punishments from the previous battle... It's not specific rewards and punishments. It's impossible to calculate the merits properly, but I still have a good idea of ​​the leader level. With Tian Wang, Li Longtou, Deputy Commander Xu, including Shan Longtou, Chai

The leaders also said before they left... To be specific, they were four people. Bai Youbin acted righteously and persuaded the imperial army to defect before the battle, which directly contributed to the victory of this battle. I intend to act as the leader and let him stand in Fanwei.

Zi was there to guard the prisoners and at the same time reorganize a battalion of troops. The organization asked him to replace the sacrificed leader Shang Huai'en. Yu Changnan took the opportunity to defect and informed the imperial army of the true and false numbers, as well as the march plan and distribution. It was also a great success. I also appointed a temporary leader.

Still in charge of the paperwork..."

Bai Youbin was guarding the prisoners, but Yu Changnan was standing by. He quickly stood up, but before he could speak, Zhang Xing waved him back and sat down.

"There is also leader Zhuge Dewei, who has done a wonderful job this time. He wanted to transfer to the leader of the troops. It happened that Zhai Kuan did not obey the military orders before the battle, causing serious losses to the troops. He was transferred from the front line and sent back to Jiyin.

After the war, he transferred his troops and handed over his troops to leader Zhuge... Do you have any objections?" Zhang Xing finished his last words and looked around.

The generals looked at each other in shock, and the leaders who originally wanted to record it did not write down a few words.

It's very simple. On the one hand, they really didn't expect that Chief Zhang, who had so much free time, would discuss the last battle first when the Eastern Capital Army was pressing down on the border; secondly, after talking about the last person, Zhai Kuan,

It doesn't seem like it's easy to interrupt.

Zhai Kuan himself was not around. After the battle, he claimed to be injured and stayed in the wounded barracks at the back. In this case, his second brother Zhai Qian, who was also the senior leader of the gang, naturally became the target of public criticism.

Zhai Qian's face turned red and he didn't say anything for a long time. Seeing that Zhang Xing seemed to be going on, he forced himself to speak: "Chief, I have something to say!"

"Say." Zhang Xing perked up.

"My eldest brother is both greedy for merit and incompetent. This time he failed to fight the war and ruined so many brothers. This is reality and deserves punishment!" Zhai Qian said in a loud voice. "But after all, he was following you in the rebellion in Jishui, the chief.
To be continued...
