"The last general will not dare!"

"The subordinates don't dare!"

“……”

As soon as Jin Hou's reprimand was finished, Hou Long and the soldiers standing in front of him all knelt down and replied in unison.

Seeing this, Jin Hou nodded, and immediately after that, he immediately shouted at the soldiers of the whole army: "General Ben knows that Vice General Long has always followed General Ben's orders before leaving, and led his troops to hide. That's right, this is the fault of General Ben, who overestimated the resilience of Vice General Long when he temporarily served as the chief general. Therefore, you have lost the battle, and in the final analysis, you are not to blame the two lieutenant generals, but to blame me, the main general, for not thinking about it carefully.

Before leaving, I should have sent those surrendered troops to the Mifang County Lieutenant, instead of letting them stay here and be a target for Cao Jun. As you all know, General Ben actually trained a total of 10,000 Tuntian soldiers around Xiapi City, but why did he only bring 1,000 of you with him this time? The reason is simple, the army of this number moves more quickly and is easier to hide.

There are suddenly nearly 5,000 more Cao troops in the army, not to mention Deputy General Long, even if it is me, I can't guarantee that all the soldiers are hidden very well.

Even General Ben forgot that this is an enemy-occupied area after all, and this is related to the safety of Cao's army's grain route, and it will inevitably become an area controlled by Cao's army. Cao Cao fought and could not allow his own grain routes to be attacked.

You've only won once, and you're a little drifting. But you forget, your experience in the army is much shorter than that of Cao Jun, although Xiahou Shang has no experience in leading troops alone, but he must have also trained soldiers in Xudu, and whether it is the Cao family or the Xiahou family, they are all family history, in terms of theory, they have learned a lot of military books and war books, and in terms of experience, they have family elders who have experienced a lot of wars to guide them.

Therefore, if you know that Cao's army may send famous generals to attack our army, there is nothing wrong with being cowardly before fighting. You must remember that on the battlefield, you must know how to advance and retreat.

Why is General Ben telling you this?

Because in the near future, the generals and soldiers here, except for Hou Hu, each of you will have the opportunity to lead the troops to battle alone. Therefore, even if you have to follow the orders of the lord or the general in the future and fight against the enemy, if you encounter an attack by a famous general among the enemy's troops, you have no harm in retreating to Xuzhou or the area controlled by our army, and then engage with it, or occupy important places, and use the barriers or cities to defend to the death. ”

"Dare not die for the general!" The generals and soldiers heard Jin Hou say this, many of them were very happy in their hearts, no matter what era, most people in the army definitely did not want to be a soldier or a general for a lifetime, but in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, unless it was a very small number of soldiers or generals who were very strong in martial arts, or very strong in leading troops, they could stand out, and most of the rest were just cannon fodder.

Among the Three Kingdoms, there are very few famous generals who really stand out from the soldiers.

Among them, Dian Wei really started as a soldier, and he relied on personal martial arts.

After a lecture, Jin Hou ordered his men to disband, and he found Liu Ji, Cao Lan, Hou Long, and Hou Hu into his tent.

"General Yamen, since our army has been newly defeated, shouldn't we temporarily go to Mijun Lieutenant to repair for a while?" After everyone sat down, Liu Ji was the first to propose.

"No, if we are such a small number of people, if we are under Mi Fang, not only will we not play any role, but also, General Ben predicts that he will definitely force our army to stay in Donghai County in the name of his official position, in this case, our army will be tied hand and foot. Therefore, our army continues to wander in the rear of the Cao army, but it will play a very big role in the Cao army. Jin Hou shook his head and explained.

"General, didn't you just say that even if you meet Xiahou Shang, you have to retreat or something?" Hearing this, Hou Hu touched his big bare head with the uninjured arm, and asked with question marks in his head.

"Hehe, Deputy General Tiger, isn't it good? This time, you've been hit with a stick, and suddenly you know how to use your brain! When Jin Hou heard this, he first lowered the other party's sentence, and then replied: "Yes, General Ben said so, but what General Ben said about retreating does not have to be retreated to Xuzhou!" Hou Xiaoyong, come in! ”

"The subordinates are here!" When Hou Xiaoyong heard this, he immediately limped in.

As soon as he wanted to kneel, he listened to Jin Hou's instructions: "Okay, you kid don't have to kneel." This general ordered, from now on, you will serve as the other Sima of my subordinates, and lead all the infantry to return to the border of Xia Pi according to the passage where we came, and temporarily recuperate, waiting for the general's order. When you arrive at the border, Xiao Yong, you lead the wounded soldiers in the army back to Xiapi City, and make up for their salaries and those brothers who unfortunately died in battle.

Hou Hu, Liu Jianjun, you also go back together. ”

"This can't be done, I'm a prison army, how can I leave the army?" Liu Ji was the first to stand up and object.

"Hehehe, Liu Jianjun, there is a problem with your sentence itself, General Ben's expedition is to leave with a small army, and you are leading a large army to return." Hearing this, Jin Hou replied with a smile.

As soon as this sentence was spoken, Liu Ji understood Jin Hou's intentions, and the problem was that Mi Zhu supported the five hundred cavalry that Jin Hou had given before leaving. Don't look at the small number of people, but if this cavalry is used in the right place, it can indeed bring great damage to Cao's army, and the main problem now is that this expedition will inevitably be very hard.

Liu Ji did not suffer at a young age, but it was precisely because he was too young and his identity was too important that Jin Hou did not dare to let him continue to act with the army.

Although Hou Hu was reckless, he also understood that he was injured now, and acting with the army would only become a burden, so at this time, Liu Ji was the only one in the army who dared to stand up against Jin Hou's decision.

However, Liu Ji's opposition naturally did not play any role.

The reason why Hou Xiaoyong was chosen to be in charge of leading the army was that Liu Ji was inexperienced, second, Hou Hu was impulsive, and third, this infantry still had to take on the task of luring the enemy, so it was necessary for someone who could strictly implement Jin Hou's instructions to lead the team.

The captain of the personal guard by Jin Hou's side, Hou Xiaoyong is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

So, on the same day, Hou Xiaoyong was carried with a sliding pole and led more than 900 Tuntian soldiers to evacuate from the northern part of Pengcheng Kingdom.

On that day,
