Chapter 154: Steady and Steady

Sure enough, when Xiao Yao mentioned the loot, everyone was talking about it, and they came up with a lot of reasons: first, these loot had just been seized, and many of them were not counted, so it was difficult to divide them equally; Then, according to the process of military law, the booty captured by each unit must be handed over and then distributed to itself, and if the spoils are distributed to the infantry battalion privately, it will be a violation of military law; In the end, it was a scoundrel, just now everyone made a lot of efforts to intercept the Qi cavalry that was chasing Xiao Yao, everyone had casualties, but Xiao Yao and the thirty private soldiers were unscathed, and the infantry battalion had to take out the spoils to repay the friendly troops, so everyone didn't have to distribute the spoils to the infantry battalion.

Xiao Yao looked at the scoundrel faces of this group of generals, greeted them in his heart, and then saw Wu Mingche also sneering but deliberately turned his head, ignoring himself, and making it clear that he would not help himself, which suddenly made Xiao Yao angry, and said fiercely: "Okay, good, I was thick-skinned before, but now I can see it clearly, I am a witch in front of you!" As the saying goes, there is borrowing and repaying, it is not difficult to borrow again, there is borrowing and not repaying, and borrowing is not to talk! Wu Dudu, from the battle of crossing the river to the victory of Shiliang City, in a month, the armaments and materials used by my infantry battalion have almost been used up, especially gunpowder, which has helped you fight a few battles, and now they are almost exhausted, without gunpowder, my infantry battalion may not even be able to defeat an infantry team of General Zhou! So I am here to apply to you, in the next period of time with the Qi army, you don't need to arrange for my infantry battalion, you can leave these opportunities for meritorious service to other generals, no matter how much loot the generals have captured, I Xiao Yao will never be red! ”

"Haha, Shiro doesn't have to be so angry, it's normal for seizures on the battlefield to be unevenly distributed, who would be willing to take it out if you eat it in your hand and eat it in your mouth! Just take less this time and more next time, but don't hurt everyone for a little bit of profit! In the future, we must all continue to unite and cooperate with each other to defeat the enemy more easily! If anyone uses his own calculations, does not contribute to work, or even does not save his allies when they see death, do not blame me for being ruthless! Wu Ming's eyes were full of light.

"Yes! We will continue to unite and defeat the Qi army! The crowd responded in unison.

"Governor, now we have a great victory over the Qi army, and the last general is willing to lead his subordinates to launch an attack on Shiliang! Then go north to capture Xuyi! "Nan Qiao Taishou Xu Man, please fight!

"We really want to take advantage of the momentum of the big victory to take Shiliang City, but our next goal is not Xuyi! As Shiro said, the fact that all kinds of war preparation materials are being consumed too quickly is indeed worthy of our attention! We have been on the Northern Expedition for almost a month, and we have fought several battles with the Qi army, and now that the main force of the Qi army has been defeated, it is time to slow down the momentum of rapid advance! The strength of the Qi army is not only these tens of thousands of people, they still have a lot of troops in Hebei, and the famous general Gao Changgong is still sitting in Xuzhou, we can't make the mistake of being too lonely, so we should now fight steadily, first take down a few cities near here, and connect them together, so that our army can base itself in Huainan! Pass my order, the army immediately assembled, surrounded Shiliang City, taking advantage of the momentum that had just defeated the Qi army, within one day, Shiliang City must be taken! Wu Mingche ordered.

Wu Mingche had already led a large army to Shiliang City a few years ago, at that time it was because the main force of the Qi army was still hiding in Xuyi, so he did not dare to rashly order the army to besiege Shiliang City, if the Shiliang defenders resisted the siege of the city at that time, and then the main force of the Qi army in Xuyi suddenly went south to reinforce and fight their own 40,000 troops, then their 40,000 troops would be in danger! Therefore, Wu Mingche has been stationed outside the city, only besieging Shiliang City but not attacking, and now he has finally defeated the main force of the Qi army, and he can free up his hands to take Shiliang City in one fell swoop!

The soldiers of the Chen army had just defeated the main force of the Qi army, and captured countless trophies, it was the time when the morale was at its highest, Wu Mingche's army ordered, and the 40,000 Chen army immediately surrounded Shiliang City, and then with Xu Man's troops as the main attack, they quickly launched a siege battle against Shiliang City!

Chen Jun fought a battle with the main force of the Qi army in front of his house in the morning, and completely defeated the Qi army in a few clicks! All this, the defenders of Shiliang City can see it clearly, which makes the defenders of Shiliang City, who have no confidence to resist the Chen army, even less confident, and now they see that the Chen army has set up a formation to attack the city, they are even more desperate, just symbolically resist a few times, and they were broken through by Xu Man's army, and then the Chen army quickly entered the city, cleared the remnants, and took over Shiliang City!

That night, the generals of the Chen army were already able to spend the night in the city, sleeping in tents for a month, feeding mosquitoes for a month, and finally sleeping on the soft pillows of the high bed tonight!

"Commander, Wen Yuan is incompetent, not only did he not catch up with the captain to break the lake, but also let Wang Lin run away, not a single big fish was caught, and more than a dozen brothers were broken, and the task assigned by the commander was not completed, please send the commander down!" Huang Wenyuan pleaded guilty to Xiao Yao with a look of remorse.

"I didn't expect this Wang Lin to really have some ability, he had already recruited more than a hundred loyal subordinates just after he arrived in Huainan, and these old subordinates and heroes of the rivers and lakes were willing to send him to death, and dragged you desperately with more than a hundred lives, so that he could escape your pursuit. This person is not simple! After listening to Huang Wenyuan's report, Xiao Yao sighed to Wang Lin.

"According to Wang Lin who cares about his subordinates very much, tens of thousands of Rao troops, he remembers those Rao names, and he doesn't value Don't Rao's background, as long as he has the ability, even if he steals his background, he can be reused, so these old departments of his are willing to follow him, and those heroes and heroes on the rivers and lakes are also willing to attach themselves to him! In fact, now in our army, there are many generals who are Wang Lin's old troops, who used to follow Wang Lin to fight against the governor, but later after being captured, they switched to the governor's account! Huang Wenyuan talked about gossip.

"So, it's really not the time of this Wang Lin's death! And even I couldn't have imagined that this Wei Pohu was actually scared away by Li Nong's explosives pack, and in the chaos of the army, it is understandable that you can't catch up with them! However, this time the cavalry team not only has a musket team to help, but also has an advantage in numbers, you actually let the cavalry team with only 300 Rao break a dozen brothers, which shows that your training for the cavalry team is not enough, and the training method is also problematic, and you have not yet trained a cavalry that can be invincible with one enemy and ten! Now I punish you to follow your subordinates to be stationed outside the city, and you also have to serve as a handyman in the cavalry team, and you have to do the chores up and down the cavalry team yourself, what to feed the horses, pick up dung, don't let me hear that someone is helping you! ”

"Yes, Commander! Wen Yuan is willing to accept the punishment! Huang Wenyuan stood upright and said solemnly.

"Okay, there is also the need to take advantage of this period of time without a large-scale battle with the Qi soldiers, you have to train the cavalry team well, and the next time there is such a situation where you can't catch up with the enemy and are escaped by the enemy, I will remove you from the position of cavalry captain!" Xiao Yao said.

"Commander, I have something to report to you." Zhang Dabao, who had been sitting on the side and had been silent, said suddenly.

"What's the matter?"

"There was a sudden letter from home, my father suddenly fell seriously ill, and my subordinates wanted to take advantage of this time when there was no war in our infantry battalion, and they wanted to ask the commander for ten days off and rush home to visit their father!" Zhang Dabao said worriedly.

"Well, filial piety comes first! Moreover, General Zhang is in an important position and is also an important minister of the imperial court, as a son, you should go back to visit! I'm going to approve of that! If General Zhang is fine, you have to rush back as soon as possible, after all, it is still the combat period, and as the deputy company commander of the second company, you are in charge of all the armaments and materials of the infantry battalion, which is also a very important position! Xiao Yao agreed.

"Commander Xie, my subordinates will definitely go and return quickly! There will be no delay in the military situation! Zhang Dabao immediately thanked him, turned around and went out to pack his luggage and rushed back to Jinling overnight.
