Chapter 368: Change of Generals
Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun entered the big tent together, and after the father and son of the Qiu family nodded to Lan Ziyi, they planned to find a place to rest outside the tent, when a voice came from inside the tent and said:
"Come in with you two, too."
The father and son of the Qiu family changed their eyes when they heard this, and then lowered their heads and followed Tao Zhutu into the account together. Zhang Wang took the initiative to ask the father and son of the Qiu family to enter the account, which seemed to be an acknowledgment of the status of the father and son's think tank, and Lan Ziyi was very satisfied with this.
The tent was crowded, but the people in the army who should have arrived had not yet arrived, after Lan Ziyi entered the account, he and Qi Rongxun each found a corner and wanted to stand and wait, but they didn't expect Zhang Wang to take the initiative to wave to the two of them and said:
"Two marquis, come on, come on, stand here."
Zhang Wang said politely, and the polite ones were a little courteous. Taiwei invited Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun so dare not give face, and immediately walked quickly to Lan Ziyi to salute.
Seeing this, Zhang Wang waved his hand to signal Lan Ziyi to stand up, and he said:
"The two marquis have made great contributions today, it should be the old man who is doing it for you, why are you so polite."
Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun said in unison:
"The last general will not dare!"
Zhang Wang smiled when he heard this, and Zhang Yanwu, who was standing behind Zhang Wang, snorted and said:
"Wei Hou, you have to pay me money for this arm."
Lan Ziyi got up and saw Zhang Yanwu patting his injured arm and shouting at him. Lan Ziyi glanced at Zhang Wang and found that Zhang Wang was just staying out of the matter, and did not mean to favor Zhang Yanwu, so Lan Ziyi smiled reassuringly:
"Zhang joined the army, my second brother said when he gave you back his shoulder, you need to recuperate from this injury, and you want to get on the horse yourself, why did you come to me for medicine? Could it be that whoever treats you will have to pay you money? How can this be true in the world? ”
As soon as Lan Ziyi's words came out, all the people around him laughed, and even Zhang Wang laughed out loud. Zhang Yanwu was so red with laughter from the people around him that he scolded his mother for a long time. After the joke was almost over, the people in the tent were almost all here, and after Zhang Wang coughed, a sergeant next to him immediately shouted: "Silence! “
When the voice in the tent quieted down, he looked at the tent and asked:
"What about the casualties today? Reported. ”
The generals at all levels standing under the tent looked at each other after looking at the order, and then someone spoke:
"The Bali Battalion plus yesterday's Sizha brothers lost a total of 3,200 people."
Looking at Wen Yan, he looked up and down at the general who still had gauze on his face and said:
"How is your battalion?"
The man clenched his fists and replied:
"Captain Hui, I don't think I can make it through tonight."
Zhang Wangwen nodded and said:
"I'll go see him when we're done discussing things later."
Next, the generals reported separately
"The Nanxianden camp lost five hundred." "The North Xiandeng camp lost four hundred and five." "The arsenal battalion lost six hundred." "The Shenji Battalion lost eight hundred."
At this time, Zhang Yanwu bowed and looked at Zhang Wang and said:
"There are 3,000 people in the Beijing camp, of which 293 are lost by Tiefutu and more than 1,600 are by the Long Knife Hand."
It wasn't until Zhang Yanwu reported the casualties that Lan Ziyi remembered that after He Wenyu was arrested by Zhang Wang, the Xiji Tiger Battalion was now in the hands of his Lan Ziyi, but the Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu who led the team today are not there now, and he Lan Ziyi doesn't know how the casualties of the Xiji Tiger Battalion are. Just when Lan Ziyi's brain was sweating and he didn't know how to answer, Qiu Wenruo took a step forward and said:
"The Xiji Tiger Battalion lost 16 horses, wounded 37 people, and no one was killed."
Qiu Wenruo's answer was really timely, and Lan Ziyi was relieved of the siege and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After listening to everyone's reports, Zhang Wang glanced at Qiu Wenruo here, and then poured a pot of wine on the ground from the hand of the sergeant next to him and said:
"Come, old man, I will give you a glass to the brothers who have died in battle."
When everyone in the tent saw Zhang Wang pouring wine, they all stood quietly and followed Zhang Wang in silence.
When the flask was emptied, he looked at it and said:
"Today's casualties of our army are like this, do you know how the casualties of the demon thieves are?"
As soon as Zhang Wang asked this, the generals under the tent exchanged their heads and ears, but no one could answer the casualties of the demon thief, and Tao Zhutu even leaned into Lan Ziyi's ear and whispered:
"Where can you count the deaths of so many demon thieves?"
But what Tao Zhutu didn't expect was that Lan Ziyi was too close to Zhang Wang, and what he said was heard by Zhang Wang. When Zhang Wang heard this, he said:
"Momozaburo is right, the demon thieves lying on the ground outside now are indeed uncountable."
When the soldiers heard this, they burst into laughter, and when the soldiers finished laughing, they looked at each other and said:
"I can't count the number of dead demon thieves, which shows that you brothers have done their best, we have taken the catastrophe today, so in fact, the casualties of our army are not large.
The art of war has clouds, with the right fit, with the odd victory, today's strange soldiers are Lan and Qi. They have done a great job of cutting through the thief formation and covering the rear today. “
Everyone in the tent looked at each other when they heard this, some nodded, some didn't speak, and Lan Ziyi clasped his fists and said:
"Today, Zhang joined the army and I were the enemy, and the credit is no less than mine."
Zhang Wangwen nodded, but he didn't intend to continue to praise his grandson, but changed his words and said:
"Today, the two marquis have made great contributions and suffered great losses. You were the first to engage the enemy, you fought the hardest battle, and I have no reason to blame you for such casualties. But after today's battle, the Royal Forest Army will not be able to fight anymore, and they need to retreat to the capital to recuperate first. The 3,000 men of the Shenji Battalion have lost 800, and I am afraid that the battle will be a lot more difficult in the future. “
Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun bowed their heads and remained silent when they heard this, not daring to say more nonsense.
At this time, someone under the tent asked:
"Listen to the captain, we still have to fight with the demon thief?"
Zhang Wang smiled:
"The demon thief is not extinguished, if we don't continue to fight, will we let the demon thief run away?"
When the soldiers in the tent heard this, they asked:
"In that case, why didn't the captain send troops into the crackdown tonight and overnight? At this time, the demon thief can be said to be tied up. “
Tao Zhutu then took a step forward and clenched his fists and said:
"In today's battle, the Jihu battalion was unharmed, as long as the captain gave an order, the lieutenant general of the battalion would immediately go out to catch Lei Youde's demon thief to see the captain!"
As soon as the peach rabbit said that it was full of voices asking for war, he was very calm in the midst of shouting and killing, he just smiled at the corner of his mouth, and watched the people below make a fuss.
Lan Ziyi stood on Zhang Wang's side without saying a word, and the father and son of the enemy family behind him just stood quietly with their heads down, and after everyone shouted for a long time and shouted tired, Zhang Wang finally slowly spoke:
"You all want to go out of the camp to destroy the thieves? Okay, let me start by asking you a few questions. “
Then he turned around and looked at Peach Chase Rabbit and asked:
"San Lang, you drink a lot of alcohol, you've drunk so much and you're still standing here well."
It's not just that I was reminded or that the peach chasing rabbit was already holding back, and as soon as Zhang Wang's words fell, the peach chasing rabbit burped, and a smell of wine suddenly filled the surroundings.
The burp answered the question of Zhang Wang, and the other people in the tent laughed when they heard the sound, but the peach and rabbit himself were so ashamed that his face was red and he couldn't raise his head.
After Zhang Wang heard the laughter, he immediately said to the generals under the tent:
"What are you laughing at? Do you think that's it? You pat yourself on the stomach and your belt to see if you will throw up today. “
When the generals heard this, they bowed their heads and couldn't speak, and the whispers in the tent stopped abruptly.
All the soldiers have been asked a few questions by Zhang Wang, and they can't raise their heads, and this just gives Zhang Wang the opportunity he wants, Zhang Wang seized the opportunity and said without stopping for a moment:
"You have all seen it when you went out to patrol the camp just now, and who can you pull up when you pull people up the way the brothers are drinking? One by one, please fight here, and you can go out and fight, just a few of you. “
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, but Qiu Xiaozhi, who had been silent, spoke at this time:
"It is certainly unseemly for the soldiers to get drunk, but tonight this wine was arranged by you, the captain, and the captain didn't stop it when he drank like this, I don't think the soldiers can be blamed for this, right?"
When everyone in the tent heard this, they turned their eyes to Qiu Xiaozhi, and Qiu Xiaozhi was not nervous when he was watched by everyone, and he still stood in place like before.
Zhang Wang did not blame Qiu Xiaozhi for contradicting him in public, and when Qiu Xiaozhi just finished asking, Zhang Wang replied:
"Xiaozhi is right, I indulge everyone to drink, I don't mean to blame everyone, I just want everyone to know that there is no possibility for our army to continue to fight tonight."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent had a round, and after a while, a young general asked timidly:
"Listening to the Tai Lieutenant's words, could it be that the Tai Lieutenant deliberately drunk the whole camp today, so that everyone can't get up?"
Zhang Wang replied with a smile:
"Yes, that's exactly what the old man meant."
There was an uproar in the account of this confession, and the generals shouted:
"Captain can't believe me? Think I'm not willing to fight again? "That's it! What about a day? We can continue to fight for a day and a night! ”
This time, Zhang Wang didn't wait for everyone to take the initiative to shut up, he said in a deep voice in the chaos:
"I trusted you too much, that's why I deliberately drunk you. I'm going to destroy the thief, but not now, not tonight. ”
The man in the tent fell silent after looking at the opening. Everyone looked puzzled when they heard Zhang Wang's words, and Zhang Wang's face did not immediately explain the reason for doing this, but instead he asked another question:
"How many thieves are still alive and kicking around out there?"
The soldiers were dumbfounded when asked, and there were many dead thieves who couldn't be counted, and who could know how many were left?
However, it was evident that this question was not raised for people to answer, and he replied himself:
"There are many demon thieves who have died in battle, and more have run away, and now there are thieves all over the mountains outside, who are you going to kill? How do you kill? Momozaburo, who are you going to kill? “
After being asked, Peach Rabbit replied embarrassedly:
"I ...... I can find out Lei Youde and bring it to the Captain, yes, that's what I just said. “
Peach Rabbit said as he nodded to himself.
Zhang Wang sneered disdainfully when he heard this:
"Okay, you went out and killed Lei Youde, what about the rest of the thieves? More than 100,000 people spread out in Jiangdong, what will happen next? “
