Hao suffered a setback and returned, and less than 300 of his 1,000 men eventually escaped, and the rest died on the battlefield. And such a result is caused by Haoda, and he has a responsibility that cannot be shirked.

Knowing such a result, Haoda didn't have the courage to come back to meet Mao Wenlong, so he wanted to apologize to Mao Wenlong and let his subordinates take their heads back to Mao Wenlong.

Fortunately, after the persuasion of his subordinates, Haoda had the courage to face Mao Wenlong directly.

Returning to Foshan dejectedly, Haoda took more than 200 surviving subordinates and knelt directly outside the yamen. Mao Wenlong got the news and hurriedly came out to see what was going on.

As soon as Haoda Gang saw Mao Wenlong appear, he didn't say a word, he directly held his saber in both hands, and said loudly: "Subordinates should be damned, please punish the general soldier!" ”

Mao Wenlong frowned, looked beyond the vast and looked at the subordinates who were kneeling all over the ground behind him, and found that they were all embarrassed, as if they had just gone through a big battle. Realizing that something was wrong, Mao Wenlong sank his face and asked Haoda, "What happened?" ”

Haoda has always been quite rigorous, and after following him for so many years, he has not made any serious mistakes. But today's performance made Mao Wenlong very surprised, and at the same time, he also sensed that something big must have happened in the middle?

Sure enough, after Haoda told Mao Wenlong the truth of the matter, Mao Wenlong was so angry that he scolded on the spot. When the scolding was extreme, he simply stretched out his feet and kicked the huge feet, and shouted: "Before leaving, I explained again and again, you are not allowed to act privately, you are good, take my words as the wind in your ears, right?" Just a thousand people rushed to move an army of 40,000 people, you are very good, aren't you? ”

In the face of Mao Wenlong's scolding, Haoda kept hanging his head and did not dare to refute half a sentence, and his face was full of pain. After all, the brothers who died were all caused by his impulses.

Tired of scolding, tired of fighting, Mao Wenlong vented the depression in his heart fiercely, looking at the huge amount of pain that had already made a painful noise, begging himself to cut off his head. Mao Wenlong didn't know how to punish Haoda for a while.

"Chief soldier, although there is something wrong with General Hao's move, this is also a common thing in the army. It is said that the general will be outside, and he can't help himself, and sometimes it is inevitable to disobey orders, so the general soldier still punishes it as a warning, and don't take it too seriously. Zhu Yihai didn't know when he came behind Mao Wenlong, and opened his mouth in time to persuade Mao Wenlong not to kill Haoda.

After Mao Wenlong learned about the foolish things that Haoda had done, he actually didn't have the idea of killing Haoda from beginning to end. But he also realized that he couldn't let go too easily, and the necessary punishment still had to be there, otherwise it would be difficult to control the army in the future.

Zhu Yihai's words just gave Mao Wenlong a step, he nodded and gave Zhu Yihai a grateful look, and then turned to Haoda and shouted coldly; "For the sake of the prince's intercession for you, spare your life this time, if you dare to commit such a foolish thing in the future, the two crimes will be punished together, and you will not be spared."

Haoda didn't expect that he would still be alive at all, and his heart suddenly felt a little happy. But when he thought of the brothers who had died because of his mistakes, he felt sorry for them.

"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, from today onwards, I will stay in the prison of the Yamen within ten days, and no one will be allowed to visit me without my permission." Mao Wenlong then gave Haoda another blow.

The joy that flashed on Haoda's face just now had turned into a full bitterness, and he knew very well what Mao Wenlong meant just now, that is, he wanted him to go to the prison to reflect and reflect. And without his permission, he had to stay in prison.

In other words, Haoda has to sit in this prison disaster until Mao Wenlong is completely angry and lets him go, so that Haoda can regain his freedom. What's even worse is that during his imprisonment, no one is allowed to visit, and it is conceivable that during this period of time in the future, Haoda will have to be imprisoned alone.

Loneliness is a pig-killing knife of time, and Haoda has realized at this moment that he is likely to go crazy in the prison because of loneliness. Although he was reluctant to accept such a punishment in his heart, Haoda still thought of those brothers who died in battle because of his relationship, and in the end he silently accepted such a punishment!

Under Mao Wenlong's order, the two officials quickly took Haoda away. Mao Wenlong only looked at the rest of the soldiers at this time, hesitated for a moment, and thought of training these people too, but after hesitating for a while, Mao Wenlong still changed his words: "Go down and recuperate your wounds, the enemy army is coming soon, a vicious battle is inevitable, give me a good body, go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

Hearing Mao Wenlong say this, it was obvious that he had no intention of punishing them, and the more than two hundred soldiers felt relieved in their hearts, and then thanked Mao Wenlong in unison for not punishing them, and then retreated one after another.

After dealing with this sudden matter, Mao Wenlong and Zhu Yihai returned to the lobby in the mansion.

As soon as he sat down, Zhu Yihai spoke first: "General Soldier, if what General Hao said just now is true, from this point of view, the enemy army that has arrived this time is not to worry at all. ”

Mao Wenlong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, don't underestimate the enemy army, if they are not sure, who will come to die so impulsively." Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that Haoda did a foolish thing this time, and didn't he return home in the end. ”

Zhu Yihai retorted indifferently: "The enemy army is 40,000 soldiers and horses, but General Hao only has 1,000 people, and it is precisely the 1,000 cavalry of General Hao who can stir up the enemy army into such chaos, which shows that this enemy army does not need to worry too much at all." Although General Hao did not say anything before, this king can be sure that when the enemy army is attacked, the number of casualties must be several times that of General Hao Da and them. ”

Mao Wenlong agrees with this, what kind of strength the Dongjiang Army has, not to mention the elites of the Dongjiang Army. With their ability, in the case of such heavy losses themselves, the enemy army is naturally not much better.

Zhu Yihai's self-confidence, coupled with the vast personal temptation, everything shows that the enemy army is indeed not very powerful. For this reason, Mao Wenlong no longer worries too much, and is completely assured to let Zhu Yihai deal with it himself.

The whole city of Foshan is under martial law and is ready to face the battle. The attacked enemy army is now approaching Foshan City, and in less than three days, it has already approached the city, and 40,000 troops are deployed under Foshan City, and the horn of attack may be sounded at any time.

The battle was about to break out, and the shadow of war shrouded the sky over Foshan, seeing such a large formation of the enemy, Zhu Yihai, who had always disdained it, finally frowned slightly, and a sense of crisis emerged in his heart.
