Yang Jun's surprise was sincere. Although he was ambushed by the Liao people this time and lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Yang Jun knew in his heart that Han Gang could not be blamed. It was he who forced him to speed up, ignoring any warnings of ambushes. Moreover, according to the reports sent back, Han Gang's response was still flawless, especially the fact that half of the cavalry could be preserved, and after the accident, the 10,000 soldiers and horses could quickly withdraw from the encirclement and retreat, Han Gang was even meritorious. Han Gang is also his own subordinate, and Yang Junshi is still sad that he may have died in battle. I didn't expect him to come back alive. It was indeed a big surprise.

Han Gang arrived at the open space in front of the Chinese army's tent with dozens of cavalry exhausted. They set off in the evening, and it was only more than 20 miles away from the Great Zhou military camp, but they walked all night. The difficulty of the road is secondary, mainly because they dare not walk around. After being ambushed, I always felt that there were Liao people hiding on the side of the woods and hills everywhere to watch, so I was careful and careful, and I had to spy around every way to make sure that there was no danger, and then I dared to hurry. The closer you get to the official road, the more cautious you are. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that they arrived at the Great Zhou military camp.

When Yang Jun saw Han Gang and the others arriving, he stepped forward quickly, his face was full of joy, and he exclaimed: "Oh, fortunately, you are still alive, Jiaoben Shuai is really happy." ”

Han Gang stepped forward quickly, knelt down in front of Yang Jun, kowtowed, and shouted, "Sin General Han Gang has seen Marshal Yang. He deserved to die for his humble position, he was ambushed by the Liao people, and he killed and injured so many brothers, and he really had no face to see the marshal. Please ask the marshal to surrender his guilt, Han Gang is willing to accept the guilt and die, and there is no second word. ”

A group of cavalrymen also knelt on the ground and kowtowed in confession.

Yang Jun hurriedly stretched out his hand and said: "Get up, get up, you are not guilty, it is the cunning of the Liao people, and it is not your fault." It's good that you're coming back alive. Get up quickly. Enter the big tent to narrate. Come and serve tea and food, they must be very hungry and thirsty. ”

Everyone followed Yang Jun into the big tent, someone brought tea and dry food, and a group of people were really hungry and thirsty after a night of trekking, and immediately devoured it.

Yang Jun stroked his beard and looked at it with a smile, he was still very happy that Han Gang could come back alive. Han Gang is his own favorite general, although he is brave and lacks wisdom, but what he lacks is this kind of general who is indomitable and not afraid of death. What he needs is this kind of generals who act according to orders, not generals who think they are smart on their own initiatives. Even if Han Gang was ambushed by the Liao people this time, it proved that he acted according to his orders.

Han Gang ate a few bites, but he couldn't eat anymore. After two sips of hot tea, he wiped his mouth and stood up.

Yang Jun smiled: "What? Full? ”

Han Gang shook his head and sighed: "The last general has no appetite, the last general is incompetent, and it hurts...... Tens of thousands of brothers who were killed in battle, how could the last general be able to eat. ”

Yang Jun nodded, patted Han Gang on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers." This blood debt will eventually be repaid. If only you would like to come back alive. For the dead soldiers, the commander will ask for merit and compensation for them, and he will also avenge them. Ben Shuai will arrange it. ”

Han Gang nodded and said, "The last general will thank the marshal for the brothers who died in battle." The brothers did not disgrace the marshal either, and did not

Disgrace to me Da Zhou. We also made the Liao people pay the price, and the brothers' desperate fight before they died also killed thousands of Liao dogs. ”

Yang Jun nodded and sighed: "Yes, the old man also heard the report, and it is indeed worth singing and crying." In that desperate situation, it is not easy for the brothers to fight bravely to kill the enemy. How did you escape? They all thought you were going to die. I didn't expect you to kill it after all. ”

Han Gang said: "Not only our dozens of brothers, but also nearly 400 of our brothers who escaped. But they were all injured. Dashuai, this time I have to thank one person for his help, if he didn't help save him, the last general and these four hundred brothers would definitely die. ”

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment and asked, "Oh? Someone saved you? Who is it? ”

Han Gang nodded and said, "It's that Lin Jue." When we stepped into the ambush circle, it was he who ordered someone to launch a signal flare to warn, and the Liao people were forced to launch, so the last general had to order the follow-up 10,000 soldiers and horses to quickly stop advancing and retreat immediately. Otherwise, all the 20,000 cavalry of our vanguard will fall into the ambush circle of the Liao. The last general was unable to retreat after being ambushed, and was forced to rush out to the north and engage the Liao cavalry head-on. At the last moment, Na Lin Jue rushed out with his men to save us, and they used firearms to stop the enemy and escaped from the side of the mountain forest. When we reached safety, he treated our brothers for their injuries and provided them with dry rations. If it weren't for Lin Jue and them this time, our losses would have been even heavier. Hey, speaking of which, he warned in advance yesterday, and we shouldn't have listened to it. If I had believed him, I wouldn't have ......."

Han Gang said energetically, completely unaware that Yang Jun's face had become ugly. When he heard that it was Lin Jue who came to the rescue, Yang Jun was already covered with frost. Han Gang also said a lot of good things about Lin Jue, which made Yang Jun unbearable.

"Shut up......!" Yang Jun shouted in a deep voice.

Han Gang looked at Yang Jun in astonishment, and a group of cavalrymen who were eating also looked at Yang Jun in surprise, half-open their mouths in a daze.

"Marshal......" Han Gang exclaimed in confusion.

Yang Jun's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Han Gang, don't forget what Lin Jue's identity is, being rescued by him is not a glorious thing, and it is not worth talking about." Nor is it worth being grateful to him. ”

Han Gang frowned and said, "Marshal, although Lin Jue is a rebel of the imperial court, things have to be one yard at a time. This time he really helped us and saved the lives of tens of thousands of our brothers. And yesterday he sent someone to warn, which was also a good intention. Unfortunately, we couldn't take his word for it. In fact, we live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. At least in this matter, he wants to help us. ”

Yang Jun shouted angrily: "Han Gang! Ben Shuai sees that you have fallen into evil. Lin Jue saved your life, and you are grateful to him, right? Help us? Do you know he has bad intentions? ”

Han Gang frowned and said in a low voice, "Ill-intentioned? The last general is stupid, I really don't see it. ”

Yang Jun reprimanded: "Naturally, you can't see it, but Ben Shuai can see it." We've actually fallen for his tricks. Ben Shuai had already figured it out, and the reason why he deliberately warned was that he knew that Ben Shuai would not believe him. He took advantage of Ben Shuai's psychology and knew that Ben Shuai would not believe what he said, so he leaked the real information to us and played a big game

scheming. We certainly don't believe him if he tells the truth, and now that his information is proven to be accurate, you will all think that it was the fault of the commander. If he comes forward to save you, this will win people's hearts and divide the behavior of our army. Isn't this a malicious one, but what is a malicious one? ”

Han Gang was speechless, he originally thought that the marshal would agree with his words, and would blame himself for not heeding Lin Jue's warning yesterday, but he didn't expect that the marshal not only didn't mean anything like this, but said it again. Even the true information sent by Lin Jue has become a malicious move.

"Ben Shuai asked you, how many people does Lin Jue have?" Yang Jun shouted.

"About a hundred people ......," Han Gang said.

Yang Jun sneered: "More than a hundred, is that still unclear fact?" Whatever they are capable of, let their more than a hundred men dare to save you. The Liao people used more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and you told the old man, how could they rescue you from the hands of more than 100,000 Liao people? More than a hundred? Even the three heads and six arms are afraid that they can't. Therefore, they must have colluded with the Liao people and deliberately allowed them to rescue you, so that you would be grateful to him. In this way, you will fall into Lin Jue's hands. Once he has gained our trust, he will be able to manipulate us at will. The next time he gives us another false information, tempting our army into a disadvantageous situation, and letting the Liao people wipe us out, he will achieve his goal. Got it? Han Gang, don't fall for him, you have to have a long brain. ”

Han Gang looked at Yang Jun blankly, his mind full of confusion. Many of the cavalrymen in that group of cavalry showed a look of sudden realization, they were originally grateful to Lin Jue, but when they heard Yang Jun say this at this moment, they suddenly felt that Lin Jue's intentions were so treacherous, and his scheming was so deep, it was simply too hateful.

Han Gang is upright and lacks intelligence, but it doesn't mean that he has no brains. Although Yang Jun's words are quite reasonable, Han Gang personally experienced yesterday's events, and when he thought about it carefully, he felt that there was no doubt. It was precisely because of the small scale that the team of more than 100 people led by Lin Jue was able to sneak through the gap between the ambush circle and the Liao cavalry in the rear. The newly opened passages in the forest, the simple wooden bridges built between the mountain streams and ravines along the way to facilitate sneaking, and the narrow paths paved do not look like well-planned routes, but the most difficult terrain is selected by twists and turns, just to avoid encounters with the Liao.

And more importantly, if Lin Jue did collude with the Liao, there was no need for him to warn him. Because no matter whether the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou believe it or not, this is a wake-up call for the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou after all. In case the Zhou soldiers and horses believed his warning, and the army outflanked in a roundabout way, wouldn't it be that the Liao people ambushed the soldiers and wrapped dumplings. The Liao people were hit hard. The Liao people sent more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to carefully prepare this ambush, could they bear the risk of paying a huge price of casualties because they wanted to cooperate with Lin Jue's actions and win the trust of the Great Zhou people? It's impossible. Either way, this is unlikely.

After being rescued, a long conversation with Lin Jue further changed Han Gang's impression of Lin Jue. He partially agrees with the truths that Lin Jue said, and he can't see that he is hypocritical.

"Marshal, the admiral thinks...... This may not necessarily be the case. The last general felt that Lin Jue would not be so treacherous and despicable, and the whole thing did not seem to be as the marshal thought. ”
