Chapter 110: Desperate

Zhang Xuan's words reached the ears of Deng He, Cao Zongyu, Wang Jincai, and Zhang Su.

The corners of Deng He's mouth twitched, as if he had touched the wound on his body, and it seemed that he couldn't bear to say it, but he couldn't deny it. It can only mean silence.

Zhang Xuan didn't want to speak for a while, and fell into silence for a while.

"Your Excellency." Cao Zongyu said: "Tomorrow, I will guard the south side and withdraw the Linying camp." ”

"Please rest assured, you don't need Nanyang Camp to change." Deng He gritted his teeth and said, "The Linying camp can hold on." ”

Seeing this, Wang Jincai immediately said, "My lord, let the Baoding battalion come to guard the south." ”

Wang Jincai didn't have much positive meaning, but when everyone asked for war, Wang Jincai didn't say it, but it didn't seem right.

Zhang Xuan said: "Tomorrow, let Nanyang Camp come, I can trust Linying Camp, but Linying Camp really needs to be repaired." ”

Deng He held his breath and did not admit defeat, but Zhang Xuan felt sorry for Linyingying, Linyingying was the foundation of his lineage. It is also the strongest combat effectiveness among the three battalions, and he really doesn't dare to let the Linying battalion consume too much.

"Yes." The three of them were convinced or unconvinced, or relieved in their hearts, but on the surface, they seemed to be unconvinced, and they all agreed.

"Your Excellency." Wu Zilan came in and said, "Xiao Yuanying sent someone over to deliver a letter. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Take it." ”

Wu Zilan handed the letter to Zhang Xuan with both hands, Zhang Xuan took it with one hand, checked the fire paint with his hand, tore open the envelope, opened it, glanced at it, and handed the letter to Zhang Su.

But after a while, everyone else circulated it.

"Tell me, what should I do?" Zhang Xuan rubbed his temples and said.

Yuan Shizhong didn't have anything else, it was still a cliché, and asked Zhang Xuan to lead his soldiers into Xiayi City.

The two gates of the two sides were only one or two miles apart, and the army ran through it at night, and the official army could not react at all, but it was not easy to do it during the day. Therefore, Yuan Shizhong asked Zhang Xuan to make a decision tonight and evacuate immediately.

"Your Excellency." Zhang Su said: "Now is not the time to take a breath of anger, what is the use of holding on in this village." The appearance of the officers and soldiers, it is clear that the persimmons are soft and pinched, we are fighting, there are not many old foundations, please think twice. ”

"Please think again, sir." Wang Jincai decided today that what Zhang Su said could not be more correct, and immediately said in line with his words.

"Brother Cao, what do you think?" Zhang Xuan looked at Cao Zongyu, in terms of military affairs, Zhang Xuan still hoped to hear Cao Zongyu's opinion.

"This one thing still needs to be big

People make decisions, and I can only say that even if the officers and soldiers fight in this way today, the whole army will definitely be able to survive five days by gritting their teeth. Cao Zongyu said.

As for what it would be like five days later, Cao Zongyu didn't say it, and Zhang Xuan also knew.

Maybe five days later, Zhang Xuan could only take a few thousand remnants of the defeated army and go to Yuan Shizhong.

"Go or stay." Zhang Xuan couldn't stop muttering in his heart, and couldn't make up his mind for a while, and said, "You go out first, let me be quiet." ”

"My lord, the fox suspicion is a great harm to the three armies." Zhang Su said: "Please make a decision early, sir." ”

"I know." Zhang Xuan said: "There will definitely be a decision tonight. ”

The others heard Zhang Xuan say this and retreated in turn.

Zhang Xuan sat in front of the table, slowly on the inkstone, pushing the ink column, in the late Ming Dynasty for so long, not to mention anything else, one hand brush words, can be regarded as able to see people, wait for the ink to be good, one hand to protect the cuffs, one hand to hold the brush, stained with ink, on a slightly yellowed white paper, from the middle of a cut, one side to write all his troops, materials, generals, on the other side to write, the strength of the official army, materials, generals, the two contrast, Zhang Xuan more and more feel that there is no hope of perseverance, holding a brush and want to write something, But for a while, he couldn't think of what to write, and suddenly Zhang Xuan's hand trembled, and a drop of thick ink dripped down from Zhang Xuan's pen, and on the paper, a large area of ink stains were blurred.

Zhang Xuan's heart flashed, feeling that on the comparison between the two sides, he may have ignored the most central thing, but what he ignored, he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Just when Zhang Xuan put himself in the room, thinking and meditating.

Over there, Liu Zeqing also quietly left his camp and came to Liu Liangzuo's camp, as soon as he arrived, Liu Zeqing was immediately welcomed in by Liu Liangzuo's cronies.

"Brother, why do you have time to see me." As soon as Liu Liangzuo saw Liu Zeqing, he greeted him.

"Mingfu also called me an old brother, and I relied on the old man to sell the old." Liu Zeqing said: "Today's battle has almost no casualties, Mingfu didn't count it in his heart? ”

Liu Liangzuo let out a long sigh and was silent for a while. Mingfu is Liu Liangzuo's character.

"Okay, I don't ask you how many casualties you have, anyway, I can't hold on to this kind of battle, if I continue to fight like this tomorrow, I only have three hundred of my own soldiers left. But I don't know how many people you have left. Liu Zeqing said: "Huang Degong doesn't care about our life or death, do you really want to sit still?" ”

"What's the best way to sit still?" Liu Liangzuo brought out a somewhat wry smile and said: "Brother, you also know that my men and horses can't beat the Yongwei Battalion, Huang Degong is here, what can I do?" ”

Liu Zeqing can be called cunning, his cunning is not only manifested on the battlefield, but also on the intrigues, Liu Zeqing heard it

I understood Liu Liangzuo's off-string sound, he didn't have any ideas, but wanted Liu Zeqing to come out, and he just followed behind.

Method, this year, the military head wants to change the order from above, the best way is to mutiny, salary, etc., these things have long been old-fashioned, how can Liu Liangzuo not know, but often the leader will not end up, the court has experience in dealing with mutiny and salary, and it has always been only punished by the head of the evil, and coercion does not care.

Therefore, it is natural for Liu Liangzuo to want Liu Zeqing to come out.

The gap in strength is also manifested in the gap in the right to speak.

Liu Zeqing can't support tomorrow, Liu Liangzuo has a thick foundation, and he can last for a few days, so he can naturally wait, but Liu Zeqing can't wait, knowing that Liu Liangzuo uses him as a gun, Liu Zeqing can only admit it, and he has to make a good gun, and said: "Brother, I have recently lost my troops and lost generals, and I don't have enough weight to speak on Lord Ma's side, as long as my brother goes with me to see Master Ma, if something happens, I will bear it alone, and I can't do it." ”

Liu Liangzuo's eyes lit up, smiled slightly, and said, "Then I'll follow my brother for a while." ”

Without further ado, the two of them said they would go, and with the identities of the two of them, even at night, all the checkpoints were released one after another, unimpeded.

At night, there was still a light on in Ma Shiying's big tent, and after the two reported, a moment later, Ma Shiying's son Ma Luan came out and led the two in.

As soon as Liu Zeqing entered the big tent, he fell to his knees with a thud, took a few steps on his knees, and said: "My lord's good, I can't control the soldiers under my command, they are planning a mutiny and surrendered to the thieves, please respond quickly." ”

Ma Shiying was taken aback when she heard this, and then her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Woo," Liu Zeqing said with tears in his eyes: "My lord, do you know that in today's battle, more than half of the sergeants and soldiers in our battalion were lost, and they all said that going to the battlefield was a death, and today's mutiny was also a death." If you mutinied, you might still survive, but if you go to the battlefield, you will never survive. ”

"Is that so?" Ma Shiying's eyes were blazing, and he looked at Liu Liangzuo.

"Yes." Liu Liangzuo said: "The morale of our army is also unstable, and as soon as it was pacified, General Liu came over. Our army is unable to move, and I ask you to quickly mobilize troops to quell the rebellion. It's just that Liu Liangzuo knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at Ma Shiying's eyes.

Liu Liangzuo secretly said in his heart: "My brother is indeed a capable person, if I didn't know that it was discussed in advance, I would have thought that a mutiny was imminent." ”

Ma Shiying's gaze swept over the two, sneered, and said, "How can I appease the soldiers?" ”

"If you tell them that you don't have to go to the battlefield tomorrow, you can probably be pacified for a while." Liu Zeqing seemed to be moved by true feelings, and said: "Today's battle was really miserable. ”
