Chapter 108: Between Battles

Yuan Shizhong sneered and said, "What do you know? Is it so easy for Huang Degong to give up? The day is still long. ”

"Then let's take a break below, otherwise it won't be good to wait for something to become soft feet." Yuan Shimin said.

Although Yuan Shizhong felt uncomfortable, he also knew that Yuan Shimin was right, these thousands of men and horses were all in the hands of Yuan Shizhong after the guards of the city were removed, and he placed these people here, just to take Zhang Xuan's troops and retreat into Xiayi when Zhang Xuan couldn't hold on.

didn't even mean to support Zhang Xuan.

Without him, Yuan Shizhong knew too much that his army was a few catties and a few taels, and his men and horses were originally imitating Zhang Xuan's training methods, but there was always a little gap with the authentic ones. Not to mention that after Yuan Shizhong was trapped in Xiayi County, in order to save food, he restricted the supply of food.

In the case of not letting the soldiers have enough to eat, let alone training anything.

It's just a matter of letting the soldiers go and eat for a few days.

The stomach can be filled all at once, but it is impossible to recover from training all at once.

If Zhang Xuan can't support Xizhai, then even if Yuan Shizhong sends people to support, it will be useless, but it will weaken the guard force of Xiayi County. At that time, it is likely that the chickens will fly and the eggs will be beaten, and Xizhai will not be able to hold it, and Xiayi City will not be able to hold it.

On top of such a major matter of life and death, no matter what kind of righteous brothers, then they are brothers, and they can't shake Yuan Shizhong's heart.

"Okay." Yuan Shizhong said.

After Yuan Shimin heard this, he immediately sent an order to the below, "Take a break and rest on the spot." ”

In an instant, thousands of people sat on the ground, and countless noises were transmitted, and some people left their positions and ran to the shade.

made Yuan Shizhong's face darker, but he was helpless.

Just when Yuan Shizhong was worried that his subordinates were not as good as Zhang Xuan's subordinates no matter what, Liu Zeqing was already kneeling in front of Huang Degong's horse at this moment.

"Liu Zeqing, you lost the army, and you should be beheaded for the crime, but Master Ma is definitely the place to come in now, and you can't kill the general." Huang Degong said coldly: "Therefore, spare your life." ”

"Grace of Lord Xie Ma, Xie Huang General Hongen." Liu Zeqing hurriedly said.

In fact, he also knows that not only that, but also because although Zhou Yanru is already in a precarious state, he has not fallen after all, Zhou Yanru has not fallen for a day, he is the first assistant of the cabinet for a day, the head of the civil officials, and Ma Shiying does not dare to ignore the figure.

With this backstage, Ma Shiying will not do things absolutely without it.

After all, Ma Shiying and Zhou Yanru still have a bent relationship.

Leave a little room for me to speak in the future.

Of course, Liu Zeqing knew that he knew, and he would never dare to say this.

"Don't thank me for anything?" Huang Degong said: "It's good that you don't hate me for a while." I have already made it clear to Master Ma, give you a chance, do a good job of official reinstatement, and the people under your command will also make up for it, if you don't do it well, I won't kill you, you can go to Beijing and run the road to the door by yourself, I know you have a way. “

"General Huang means ---," Mr. Liu said.

"You have 5,000 men in your headquarters now." Huang Degong said.

The soldiers and horses under his command are where the capital lies, Liu Zeqing knows this road better than anyone else, he collected Huang Degong's rout, and the men and horses that originally belonged to him tried to get it back, and even spent a lot of money, Huang Degong received a big red envelope. Then there is Liu Zeqing pulling Zhuang Ding around.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiayi had almost become a white land here, Liu Zeqing would have produced tens of thousands of horses within a few days, such as Zuo Liangyu in Huguang. It's just that there are more of them. Combat effectiveness is another issue.

"Yes." Liu Zeqing suddenly had a bad premonition.

Huang Degong said: "This is the village. ”

"Down, it's easy to say anything. If you can't beat it, don't say that I Huang Chuangzi doesn't give you affection, the affection is here, the world is the time to employ people, and make meritorious contributions, not only is there no guilt but there is a reward? ”

Liu Zeqing secretly said in his heart: "Huang Chuangzi is so ruthless. "How could Liu Zeqing not know what his men and horses were like at the moment, the morale of the entire army was very low, and he didn't look like he could fight at all. Moreover, Tian Xiong's death has long been spread throughout the entire official army. Even if Liu Zeqing is not as good as before, he still has some ears and eyes.

Why didn't I know that Huang Degong used him as cannon fodder and stepping stone.

But he can't help but do it, without him, strength is the right to speak. Liu Zeqing had more than 10,000 troops before, although his strength was below Huang Degong, but he also had the confidence to fight with Huang Degong, but now he does not have this confidence. Not to mention that Huang Degong moved out of Ma Shiying.

"The subordinate obeys." Liu Zeqing said.

"Is that good?" Huang Degong laughed and said: "Hakama, you will tell Master Liu about the situation, I, Huang Chuangzi, will definitely not secretly cheat him." ”

Ren Youqian secretly slandered: "My general, you will only open the pit." But he didn't show it at all, and said, "Yes." ”

Ren Youqian led Liu Zeqing aside and told Liu Zeqing all the situation. Liu Zeqing frowned when he heard this, and said secretly: "It seems that this kind of appearance can only be filled with human lives." ”

Liu Zeqing has never been a master who cares about people's lives, but the common people also have their own survival wisdom, Xiayi Yongcheng has been fighting here for half a year, and anyone with long legs, whether it is two legs or four legs

Everyone knows that this place is not good, and everyone who can run has run.

Liu Zeqing has been arresting Zhuangding for a few days, but he has only arrested hundreds of people.

He didn't feel sorry for the lives of his subordinates, and it didn't matter how many of his subordinates died, but what he was worried about was that his subordinates were not strong enough, and then they would end up like He Renlong. He Renlong's fate sounded the alarm for all the generals of the Ming Dynasty who did not support their own troops and respect themselves.

But at this time, it is no longer what he wants to do, he can do anything.

With a move of his hand, he grabbed a fifty taels of official silver ingots from his sleeve, stuffed it into Ren Youhama and said: "Brother Ren, you are General Huang's side, how is this Xizhai broken, can you point me out?" ”

Ren Youqian took the silver ingot, but after weighing it, he knew that it was fifty taels, definitely a lot, he smiled and stuffed it into his sleeve and said: "The general's matter, how can I understand it as a pro-soldier." ”

Hearing this, Liu Zeqing's face suddenly became a little ugly.

Huang Degong was a pro-soldier captain by his side, and in Liu Zeqing's previous opinion, he was just a sesame mung bean-like figure, and he dared to talk to him like this.

"Still." Ren Youqian smiled slightly, secretly proud in his heart, and the big man before he was proud of the fact that he had to compromise in front of him, and said: "When General Tian was here before, he told the general about the strategy of fire attack, and the general also agreed with it, but as for my own fire attack, I didn't understand it. ”

"Fire attack." Liu Zeqing frowned, and said secretly in his heart: "It's true that this Xizhai is a wooden village, but it doesn't mean that the wooden village is easy to set fire, the last time it was just to take advantage of its unpreparedness, and almost all the fire oil in the camp was used up to do it." Now there is not enough kerosene. Besides, now that the thieves have two walls, what if they burn the walls? ”

For a while, Liu Zeqing fell into deep thought, and after a while, he shifted his thinking from fire oil to gunpowder, and said secretly: "There is a lot of gunpowder in the army, and if you want to set fire, you still have to find a way to use gunpowder, but how to use it has to be carefully considered." ”

Liu Zeqing thought here.

Ren Youqian had already come to Huang Degong's side, took out fifty taels of silver in his hand, and said, "General." ”

Huang Degong glanced at it and said with a smile: "You can keep it and take your daughter-in-law." ”

Ren Youqiao smiled and said, "I have to be taken care of by the general, and the silver on my body is already enough." ”

"That's what you hold too." Huang Degong said: "You think I'm not heavy enough, there's no place." ”

"Then I'll keep it for the general." Ren Youqian said: "When you have time, give it to the old lady." ”

At the mention of the old lady, Huang Degong's face brought out a trace of melancholy, Huang Degong was brought up by his mother, but now that his mother is old, her health has been good for a while, and Huang Degong can't be around, even if he has his wife to take care of him, he will inevitably be worried about being a son, and he can't rest assured.
