Chapter 425: Suspicion of Alcohol Is a Dream (3)
As the saying goes: the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.
The two armies met on a narrow road, and Meng Fusheng didn't even have time to lay out, and the place here couldn't be opened, so the two sides only relied on the ability and number of soldiers.
Su Ming's troops were nearly twice as large as Meng Fusheng's, and there was no doubt that Meng Fusheng would lose.
Seeing that one of his arms was wounded, the soldiers were damaged too much, and the enemy became more and more brave the more he fought, and seeing that if he continued like this, the whole army would be wiped out, Meng Fusheng immediately decided to take a team of soldiers to cover the retreat of the large army.
After everyone successfully withdrew to Qinghe City, Meng Fusheng learned that Xin Hongyi and the others had returned, and he was furious and asked people to call him over.
After Xin Hongyi came back, he knew that Meng Fusheng took someone to save him, and his heart was extremely weak, and now he heard that Meng Fusheng was injured and injured a large number of soldiers, and he was even more worried in his heart, and when he heard that Meng Fusheng was looking for him, he almost knelt down in fright.
"Little brother." Xin Hongyi shamelessly asked at the little soldier, "Ahem, do you know what our generalissimo has to tell me?" β
Xiao Bing looked honest, shook his head ignorantly, and his mouth was full of ballast, "I don't know, I don't dare to ask." β
"Go, go, go." Xin Hongyi pushed away the little soldier in annoyance, "I don't know what I want you for?" If I ask myself, I don't believe that such a man as the marshal can slaughter me. β
Xin Hongyi strode away, majestic and high-spirited, looking at the back alone, you can see the indomitable momentum, the little soldier can't help but admire, sure enough, it is worthy of General Xin, to be able to mix in this position is to be bolder than these timid soldiers, he almost cried when he saw the marshal's face just now, General Xin can still be so cheerful, it is really their model and idol.
If Xin Hongyi knew what this little soldier was saying, he wouldn't have cried on the spot and shouted that you can do it.
However, Xin Hongyi didn't know, he had to step into Meng Fusheng's room, which was tantamount to a flood beast to him, with the tragic psychology of being cold and cold, and the strong man never returning.
He knocked politely on the door for the first time, hoping that no one would be there, but a cold "come in" shattered his naΓ―ve illusion.
"Marshal Meng."
As soon as Xin Hongyi came in, he stood aside obediently, lowered his proud head, and made a sad and chagrin look, like a good student who made a mistake and was punished by his husband.
Meng Fusheng only glanced at him when he came in, and then he took the medicine himself, and there was a wound of three or four centimeters on his shoulder, which was deep to the bone, but he was used to it now, and he didn't feel pain, but he was a little unsafe, he was so reckless that he almost put himself in to save people without a plan, although it was to save people, but it was undeniable that he was careless.
Time passed little by little, and Xin Hongyi's hanging head was about to stiffen, but the person on the other side still didn't mean to question at all.
Xin Hongyi gritted his teeth, raised his head and took a step closer, and said ashamedly: "Marshal, today I was too reckless, I admit my mistake, and I am willing to be punished." β
Meng Fusheng seemed to notice that there was someone on the other side, and looked at him slowly, without any expression on his face, which made people unable to see through his thoughts, and Xin Hongyi was even more worried in his heart.
After another bitter silence.
Meng Fusheng: "General Xin, are you disobeying my orders?" If you think there's anything wrong with my order, you can say it, so why do you want to be in such a situation? β
Xin Hongyi immediately broke out in a cold sweat, if he had heard this before, he would definitely not be painful, he was not convinced by Meng Fusheng, but after a period of time, he had seen Meng Fusheng's ability to lead troops to fight and strategize, where was he still dissatisfied, he just wanted to learn a little bit under the other party.
He hurriedly admitted his mistake: "It's me who is too short-sighted and accidentally fell into the local scheme, I promise that this kind of thing will not happen in the future, otherwise....... Otherwise, I will step down and go back to the imperial capital. β
Meng Fusheng looked at him fixedly, only looking at him without embarrassment, his head lowered again and again, and he saw that he was about to bury his head in the ground like a frightened camel in the next second before he withdrew his gaze, and said lightly: "I know, go down and receive the punishment, ten lashes, and the remaining forty will be talked about after the war." β
Xin Hongyi's face was happy, and he went down with a thousand thanks, and when he closed the door, he looked at the sun in the sky, and a thought rose in his heart that he had finally survived.
There is a reason for Meng Fusheng's punishment, if he is directly punished with fifty lashes, Xin Hongyi will not be able to recover if he does not cultivate for ten days and half a month, and now the troops are not enough, and the loss of a general is tantamount to heartache.
After Xin Hongyi left, Meng Fusheng was thinking about the current situation in the room, he was reluctant to come to Qinghe City, and now the failure to open the door made him even more disappointed. Although it was not enough to make him retreat, it was not enough to recover the pride and ambition of wanting to conquer Kunguo when he was the generalissimo of the expedition at the beginning, and now he is a little sluggish.
This state also affected his ability to lead troops to fight and make plans.
Besides, on Su Ming's side, after forcing Meng Fusheng to retreat to the camp where he was stationed, he immediately wrote a letter to Du Weizhen about meeting Meng Fusheng today.
Du Weizhen didn't expect that since King Yidan had sent Meng Fusheng over at such a moment, knowing his ability, he immediately secretly dispatched more troops, so that Su Ming could quickly fight and decide, and more importantly, capture Meng Fusheng alive and bring him back to the imperial city.
If there was no Meng Fusheng, it would not be so simple for Yi Dan to break through Qinghe City and Shanhe City, the stalemate between the two countries had not appeared for more than ten years, but Meng Fusheng led his troops, and the two cities fell within half a month, which shows his strength.
Capturing Meng Fusheng alive made Yi Dan lose a general, which was more worthy than taking back Qinghe City.
After receiving the reply, Su Ming began to secretly plan this matter, but he wanted nothing to go wrong.
And in the next few battles, even Lu Yu'an could see that Yi Dan's deployment of troops and phalanx made frequent mistakes and omissions, far from being as invulnerable as before, and they thought that the other party had changed the marshal, but after several investigations, it was found that Meng Fusheng was still a marshal, but his state was inferior to before, and he even appeared absent-minded during the battle, and almost injured Su Ming several times.
Su Ming knew that there was a huge difference in the strength of the two, and if it was a normal situation, he and Su Yi would not be able to hurt Meng Fusheng, let alone fight alone. Even if he had been injured not long ago trying to save people, it would not have been possible to regress so much. In the last battle, Su Yi even stabbed Meng Fusheng off his horse, and was even almost trampled by the hooves of a horse on which side he didn't know, or Xin Hongyi escaped by carrying him on his horse.
As soon as the marshal was wounded, the situation of the Yidan soldiers was in great confusion, and their morale was slumped. Su Yi led his troops to pursue the victory, and Yi Dan was like a lost dog, so he directly withdrew to Qinghe City and closed the city gate, but he still didn't pay much attention to how the other party shouted and sarcastically below.
