Chapter 133: Zhao Liangdong is defeated
When Zhao Liangdong led the remnants back to Guizhou, his intestines were full of regret.
Why is he going to go far?
Wouldn't it be okay to just rush over and kill it?
He had known that the Ming army in ambush was only 3,000 people, and he would not be afraid of anything.
Now that he has suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Happy Valley, how should he explain to Hong Chengchou and Aobai?
Those people who went to the Three Banners would definitely not say good things for him, and it would be good if they didn't take the opportunity to step on it.
Zhao Liangdong felt that his future was very slim.
Of course, it is necessary to save oneself.
Zhao Liangdong is ready to come up with a bitter plan, hoping to get through the trick.
However, before the army came to Guiyang City, Zhao Liangdong took off his armor and clothes to expose his chest and abdomen, and he ordered his soldiers to tie him up with ropes and insert a bamboo stick behind his back.
Since you have to do it, you have to do it enough.
Zhao Liangdong doesn't care about face. It's all already failed like this, what face is there?
When Hong Chengchou and Ao Bai learned that Zhao Liangdong had returned to Guizhou with such a posture, they were both stunned.
There is no doubt that Zhao Liangdong lost the battle.
What kind of defeat can make Zhao Liangdong take the blame for not caring about his image?
It must have been a fiasco.
Ao Bai suddenly screamed angrily and scolded Zhao Liangdong for being a waste.
Hong Chengchou was naturally very unhappy when he saw him pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.
But he couldn't show it.
There is no other reason, Zhao Liangdong is really not angry.
How did things get the way they are?
Hong Chengchou was puzzled!
In short, people still have to be seen.
Hong Chengchou ordered someone to bring Zhao Liangdong to Jingluo Mansion.
The matter has reached this point, and it is definitely impossible for the court to hide it.
I can only hope that the big things will be turned into small ones, and Zhao Liangdong's culpability will be reduced as much as possible.
Ao Bai has always put on a stinky face.
He wanted to see what Hong Chengchou could come up with.
He has been staying in Guiyang for a long time and has not gone anywhere, and gradually he found that the so-called Gu poison is just a bluffing trick, he once did not take the medicine on time, and the Gu poison did not attack. This shows that Ahn is playing tricks on him!
Ao Bai was played for no reason, and naturally he refused to give up, so he swore that when Zhao Liangdong came back, he would take the army to move to the clan village of the Xi'an clan in Pingshui.
But he waited for a long time to come back for such a result!
It's infuriating!
Soon Zhao Liangdong was taken to Jingluo Mansion.
He also maintains an image of his bare chest.
As soon as he saw Hong Chengchou and Ao worshipping him, he fell to his knees and cried: "Hong Jingluo, Lord Ao, in the end, there will be two expectations to make amends." β
After that, he kowtowed.
There is no doubt that this is a bitter ploy, and Hong Chengchou is very clear about this.
He cleared his throat very cooperatively and said, "Qingzhi, you have disappointed the old man too much. In this battle, you brought all the elites of our army, how did you fight like this? β
Zhao Liangdong hurriedly followed the conversation and said, "Hong Jingluo, you listen to my explanation." In this battle, the Ming army was very cunning, and first ordered a vanguard to lead our main force across the river, but their army then fought out from the flanks and back. The last general will be killed in the dark, and there is no difference. At this time, the Ming army used a demon spell to break our army. β
Hong Chengchou frowned when he heard the word demon law.
He had heard the so-called demon method once from Wu Sangui's mouth, and it was actually an advanced firearm.
It's just that the Qing soldiers haven't seen it, so this will be interpreted as a demon law.
Zhao Liangdong put the blame on the advanced firearms of the Ming army, which is a little unreasonable, doesn't this mean that the firearms of the Qing army are very backward?
"Don't avoid the important and light, otherwise the old man won't be able to help you."
Although in front of Aobai, Hong Chengchou still made a posture of protecting the calf.
He made it clear that he wanted to protect Zhao Liangdong, and he was not afraid that Ao Bai would know.
Ao Bai's eyes widened.
"Hong Jingluo, do you want to protect this guy?"
"Hong just wants to be able to figure out the truth of the matter. This scripture will not wronged a good person, nor will it let a bad person go. β
Ao Bai sneered in his heart.
A good one will not wronged a good person, nor will it let go of a bad person.
This Hong Chengchou is really better than singing, it's a pity not to tell a story with such talent.
He wanted to see how Hong Chengchou sheltered his proud protΓ©gΓ© today.
"Hong Jingluo, here's how it happened..."
Zhao Liangdong saw that he could no longer cover up the past in a few words, so he could only explain the details of the incident.
Hong Chengchou listened very carefully.
He was already able to judge the main problem of this battle from Zhao Liangdong's description.
The Ming army was ambushed and fell, mainly because Zhao Liangdong was too light on the enemy's advance.
That's an army of 100,000 people, and it moves the whole body.
Every decision must be made with caution and never based on feelings.
Zhao Liangdong put all his bets on that battle, and the result was a complete loss.
I'm still too young.
Hong Chengchou asked himself if it was him, at least he would not be seduced so easily.
The next question is how to reduce Zhao Liangdong's culpability.
Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Qingzhi, the old man asks you, did someone take the route of the army's march and cause the Ming army to ambush?" β
In the face of this explicit statement, Zhao Liangdong naturally followed the words and said: "Exactly, exactly!" β
He said repeatedly: "There are people in the army who are the fine work of the Ming army, and he betrayed the last general, so that the Ming army set up an ambush in the Happy Horse River early. β
Ao Bai couldn't listen to it anymore.
This Hong Chengchou and Zhao Liangdong are talking about a story, right?
Really coax him to worship as a fool?
Or do you want to take the court and the emperor for fools?
These Han people really don't have a good thing.
Ao Bai snorted coldly and said: "Hong Jingluo should think of a better way to exonerate General Zhao." If it is so perfunctory, in the future, the emperor will condemn him, and I am afraid that Hong Jingluo will not be able to eat and walk around. β
In the face of Aobai's warning, Hong Chengchou was not afraid at all, and directly choked: "The old man will never shelter Zhao Liangdong." It's just that the old man wants to find out the truth of the matter, instead of making a fool of himself to the emperor. β
Ao Bai listened to it and was angry, and Hong Chengchou felt that he wanted to rectify Zhao Liangdong indiscriminately.
He is a dignified minister, even if he wants to rectify a junior, he will not beat around the bush so much.
If he really wanted to get Zhao Liangdong, he would directly impeach him, instead of waiting for Zhao Liangdong to be defeated before standing up.
"What does Hong Jingluo mean by this, is it aimed at the old man?"
"This scripture is just a matter of facts."
Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and said leisurely.
"You!"
Ao Baiduan's lungs were about to explode, so he got up angrily and brushed his sleeves away.
Before leaving, he dropped a sentence and said: "Hong Jingluo and General Zhao should do it themselves." β
After Ao Bai left, Zhao Liangdong hurriedly said: "Teacher, save me!" β
Hong Chengchou sighed and said, "Qingzhi, you are in a big trouble this time!" β
