Chapter Ninety-Nine: Yang Shenzu Leaves

The highest watchtower in Xiying is three zhang high, standing on it, I only feel the flag hunting on my head, and the wind whistles from under my feet, making a whining sound, like the sound of a bull's horn on the battlefield.

As far as the eye can see, there is no tall building to cover, when the weather is bad, within a few miles, it is all in sight, and when the weather is good, you can see more than ten miles away.

It seems that the world is a huge sand table, and this is the best place to watch the sand table.

After a day or two, the camp is also on the right track, Zhang Su's ability may not be as good as Zhang Qian, but it is possible to arrange the general affairs in the camp.

With Zhang Su's help, Zhang Xuan had a lot of time to spend here, looking at it as if he was looking at all the terrain around him.

Suddenly, Zhang Xuan noticed that something was wrong from the south, so he saw a trace of yellow dust emerging above the ground line from a distance, but after a while, this trace of yellow dust turned into a puff of yellow dust.

Zhang Xuan immediately knew what it was, the traces of the march of the brigade.

"Call Yang Shenzu to come up." Zhang Xuan said

"Yes." Qin Meng limped down.

Qin Meng's 100 military sticks were beaten twice. The military stick in the army never plays false, and the righteous army has not yet stood on the side of the army, and every blow is real.

Even after a few days, it made Qin Meng feel pain into the bone marrow, and now it still hurts when he walks.

After a while, Yang Shenzu came up and said, "I met the commander, but I didn't know what the commander had asked me to come here and what I had to order." ”

"Let's go." Zhang Xuan didn't put down the clairing mirror and said.

"What does it mean to be in Lordship?" Yang Shenzu said angrily: "I, Yang, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

Yang Shenzu actually felt Zhang Xuan's dissatisfaction with him, and the beginning of his dissatisfaction was that he did not fight Huang Degong.

However, no one can say clearly what happened on the battlefield, and even now Yang Shenzu insists that what he did was right.

"General Yang, why do you say this?" Zhang Xuan said as he handed the clairvoyant mirror to Yang Shenzu, pointed to the south and said, "Look." ”

Yang Shenzu looked over as he said, and immediately frowned.

"If I'm not wrong." Zhang Xuan said: "It's all the Yongwei Battalion here. ”

"In this case, I can't go anymore." Yang Shenzu said: "Yes, I am afraid of Huang Degong, I still feel that Huang Degong must have relied on that day, otherwise I would not dare to dismount in front of the battle, I want to protect my soldiers----"

"Needless to say." Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and said: "The reason why I did this is not because of this matter, you, as a battlefield commander, have the right to make your own judgment, and let you go over, just to respond, and did not let you fight Huang Degong, so I don't mind." ”

"There's one thing I've miscalculated, though." Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly: "It's the cavalry's war horse." ”

"One horse eats more than three people. Even if you can feed the fodder, what should you do once our army is surrounded, and the officers and soldiers force our army to a square inch and there is no place to put the horses? ”

"The camp can't afford to support these big stomachs." Zhang Xuan said: "And the cavalry is useless in defending the city, it is enough for more than 10,000 people to guard the small village, I hope you will lead the troops to leave here and go east." ”

Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed, and he said: "Ma Shiying is the governor of Fengyang, not the governor of Henan, you play your old job, disturb the two Huai, contact the local heroes, if it is possible to touch Fengyang, try Fengyang's catties." It's much better to do all of this than to be stuck here. ”

"And what will the Commander do with you?" Yang Shenzu's heart moved, and he said in a low voice: "If you don't want the commander to go with me, this place will be handed over to General Cao, with General Cao's ability, he will definitely guard this place without leaking." ”

"No way." Zhang Xuan shook his head and said: "It's not appropriate to do this, you go quickly, and you will face more than 10,000 officers and cavalry when you leave, and if you are late, I am afraid it will be more." I'm worried that you won't be able to leave. ”

What are you kidding, Zhang Xuan doesn't know how much effort it took to pull up these 10,000 people's descendants, if he leaves now, even if Cao Zongyu holds it and waits for Luo Rucai's reinforcements, but at that time, is the backbone of these battalion soldiers Cao Zongyu or Zhang Xuan?

Yang Shenzu saw Zhang Xuan's answer categorically, and he didn't persuade much for a while, because Zhang Xuan's plan was good for him, after all, wandering outside was much safer for Yang Shenzu, and it was really impossible to go back to Runing, but sitting in the city of sorrow, I don't know what the situation is.

"My lord, don't worry, I can't beat Huang Chuangzi, but if I want to leave, Huang Chuangzi will definitely not be able to catch up with me." Yang Shenzu said.

"So, without further ado." Zhang Xuan said: "General, go quickly." ”

Yang Shenzu clasped his fists and saluted and said, "Lord Commander take care." After I go out, I will immediately send someone to report this matter to the king, and ask the king to send reinforcements. ”

"In this way, I will ask the general for more than 10,000 sons." Zhang Xuan said.

Yang Shenzu did not hesitate, and immediately went down to the watchtower.

In just a moment, the west gate of Xizhai was opened, and thousands of horses galloped out.

"It's better for the army to train itself." Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "When this kind of side is tied to the official army, it still doesn't work." ”

Zhang Xuan's words are not false, he intends to reduce the number of people in the army, after all, in a small camp, the more the better.

But if this cavalry was built by Zhang Xuan himself, he would definitely not go so far, but let this cavalry roam nearby, contain the strength of the Yongwei battalion, and also shoulder the responsibility of opening up internal and external communications.

However, such a thing is too dangerous

Danger, there is a danger of being surrounded and suppressed by Huang Degong's cavalry at any time. Thinking about it, Yang Shenzu may not be willing to take such a risk.

Zhang Xuan watched Yang Shenzu's cavalry leave, and said to Qin Meng: "Qin Meng has been around for the past few days, so don't accept the rod. ”

Qin Meng was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

"Thank me, there is a big battle to fight during this period of time, maybe, you will not have the opportunity to receive the rod again." Zhang Xuan said.

Qin Meng grinned and said, "My lord, when I was fighting, can I make a contribution to this crime?" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly and said, "I can't." Merit is merit, merit is fault, how can merit and demerit be offset, honestly suffer your military stick, and a stick is indispensable. ”

"Yes." Qin Meng said with some frustration.

"By the way, how is General Shen?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Not so good." Qin Meng's complexion was a little gloomy, as if he wanted something. said: "Listening to licorice, General Shen has survived this hurdle, but General Shen seems to have suffered from the will to die, and licorice often persuades but is useless?" ”

"Really?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback and said, "I'll go see him later." ”

"My lord, it's useless for you to go and see it." Qin Meng said: "I didn't know what mourning was before, but now I understand, seeing General Shen's appearance, lifeless, not like a living person at all, but like a dead person." ”

Zhang Xuan suddenly remembered that on the top of Hongyan Tower that day, he sprinkled wine to his friends and questioned Shen Wandeng.

At that time, the ambition was still in front of Zhang Xuan's eyes. It's only been a long time for people to become like this.

It's really impermanent.

However, Zhang Xuan can also understand Shen Wandeng.

The defeat of the Xiping camp was too miserable, and a small number of people in the Xiping camp were people installed by Zhang Xuan, most of them were Shen Wandeng's relatives and friends, as well as Tongli villagers.

Of the 3,000-strong Xiping battalion, only 1,000 remnants were gathered, and the rest were either killed, wounded, or fled.

But in the vicinity of Xiayi, the officers and troops are so dense that the dead and wounded and fleeing are almost the same end.

If this news spreads to Xiping, a small county in Xiping, even if it is not a family with filial piety, it will not be much different.

What Xiang Yu said was shameless to see Jiangdong's father, which is exactly what he meant.

Shen Wandeng has always prided himself on being chivalrous, and Xiping's father and elder handed over their children to him, but he lost most of them. And he also broke his arm and became a wasted person.

Such a double torture on top of physiology and psychology, in Shen Wandeng's heart, I am afraid it is better to die.

At least once he dies, he may be able to face Xiping's father in his heart.

Zhang Xuan thought about this, he could only sigh leisurely, he didn't know how to comfort Shen Wandeng, maybe after a long time in this era, Zhang Xuan's heart was hardened. All he had was a sigh.
