Chapter 1 Gambling (6 A)

After the great victory, he let go of the remnants of the enemy and suddenly withdrew his troops, and when the order was heard, the minions were all taken aback. Fortunately, everyone has always been very blind to Cheng Mingzhen, and they were surprised and surprised, but they did not speculate arbitrarily, so their morale and military spirit were still stable, and they would not let the enemy troops on the other side see the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Wang Ermao, Han Shiwang, Zhang Jin and others led their subordinates to take the lead that day. The remaining main force rested generously by the river for a day and a night, and it was not until three poles the next day that they slowly pulled out the camp and returned south. The whole retreat process was slow and orderly, so that Wei Deshen on the other side of the river did not understand the true intentions of the Xuzhou army at first, and when Cheng Mingzhen's handsome banner reappeared to deal with it, it was already a big step slower.

Rao is like this, when everyone walked to Pingxiang, forty miles away, the soldiers of Wuyang County still chased after them from behind. \ But he was afraid of the combat effectiveness of the Zhaozhou army and didn't dare to rely on it too much, and flies were generally buzzing and entangled behind him.

"I can still endure him! Although the head of the sect goes first, I will turn around and teach the surname Wei a lesson! Wang Fei has the most boring temperament, and he can't wait to immediately lead his subordinates to kill the horse pistol and shoot everyone's subordinates to death. Cheng Mingzhen shook his head with a smile, and said in a low voice: "You don't have to work so hard, your surname Wei just wants to hold us back, and he will never fight with you." If you don't believe me, you can take 200 brothers to try it, and you won't even get a cold hair! ”

Everyone laughed, knowing that the sect leader guessed correctly, but they still instigated Wang Fei to take someone to try. Wang Fei also wanted to help the commander calm the army, got up with a smile, and emphasized loudly: "I didn't mean to let the brothers waste their physical strength. It's really a guy surnamed Wei who is too annoying. Let's say okay, this time I will pinch the dough melon, and the next time I meet a real opponent, I have to do this officer, and none of you can fight with me! ”

"Go, go. \ Also the vanguard officer, just your small body, you can't even hold two crotch armor, when the vanguard rushes into battle, you don't see the enemy's face first shot into a sieve by a bow and arrow! The generals refused to agree, laughing and teasing.

"Who said I can't hold up, it's because we have few weapons, I'm embarrassed to fight with others!" Wang Fei grinned, seven disagreed and eight dissatisfied. Everyone didn't have time to grind their teeth with him, so they stepped forward together, shouldered the shoulder, pulled the arm and pulled the arm, and squeezed him away from the coach. After such a commotion, the initially tense atmosphere in the team began to relax again. The generals talked and laughed, and did not take the enemy army behind them seriously at all. The little bosses also teased each other, laughing and doing well. After walking for a while, some minions saw that the boss did not prohibit everyone from frolicking as usual, so they simply took the opportunity to hum a slang song: "If a man wants to be healthy, he doesn't need to have more companions." \ Harriers fly through the sky, flocks of finches in both directions ......"

"Put the horse in Daze, and the grass is good and the horse is on the ground. Brand iron crotch, mutual iron. Tail strips. Someone raised their heads, and immediately someone responded loudly.

This song was made by the Bei Murong clan of North Korea, and it is not as detailed as the famous work of Jiangnan genius, but it is easy to understand. Therefore, it is widely spread among the people, and almost all minions can hum a few words along with the tune. "Go forward and look back, and put your crotch together. Looking at the front and looking back, the iron and the iron are ......"

"If a man wants to be healthy, he doesn't need to have many companions. Harriers fly through the sky, and flocks of birds wave in both directions. Put the horse in Daze, and the grass is good and the horse is on the ground. Brand iron crotch, mutual iron. Tail strips. In the blink of an eye, thousands of people sang along, arrogantly only rushing at the bullfight.

Before a slang song fell, Wang Fei had already turned back with his brothers, and sure enough, he didn't even catch a single hair, and the county officer who led the team saw that he was coming fiercely, thinking that the Zhaozhou army was going to turn his head and eat it first, so he was so frightened that he turned his mount and fled first. \ The county soldiers were originally afraid of the Zhaozhou army, and when they saw that the main general withdrew before fighting, they also dispersed in a hurry.

"It's really not fun, I lost the face of a Hebei man!" Wang Ermao handed back the order flag to Cheng Mingzhen, and at the same time he was still chattering. After finishing the chatter, no matter whether or not anyone paid attention to him, he salivated and begged, "Sect leader, what are the brothers singing, what brand, owl tail and so on?" Why haven't I always understood? ”

"Get out!" Cheng Mingzhen punched him hard, laughed loudly and scolded, "If you want armor, just say it, why bother to make such a big bend." This time, a lot of two-crotch armor was seized from Yang Baiyan's hands, and later you rushed to the baggage battalion in front to pick a few pieces, don't patronize yourself, the brigade rate and team under your command are correct, each of them will pick one for them! ”

"Thank you!" Wang Fei immediately clasped his fists and saluted, lest Cheng Mingzhen take back what he said. He had long been interested in the equipment of Xiong Kuohai and Wu Tianxi, so he was worried about the distribution of the spoils of war every day. At this moment, I finally got my wish, and I couldn't help but be proud.

Seeing that he was about to raise his tail to the sky, the other generals immediately blew up. surrounded Cheng Mingzhen and gossiped to seek justice for himself. Cheng Mingzhen was obviously in a good mood, nodded, and ordered: "You go one by one, don't get together." Each officer above the rank of the team under his command received a set of thick armor and an official lance. If there is any leftover, count it, and divide the parts equally. Take your own, don't worry about it every day, it can also reduce the burden of the baggage camp a little! ”

The generals were satisfied, and they dispersed with a smile. \ In less than two hours, the armor and equipment in the baggage camp were already divided among the troops while marching. Not only did the team and brigade leaders be fully armed, but even some elites who were strong and well-respected by the chief officials were also given half of the "sophisticated" equipment such as cowhide armor and iron pockets. In an instant, the whole team thundered with joy.

There are also a few experienced veterans who quietly adjust the wooden bow arms behind their backs and tie the belt around their waists tightly. With their understanding of Cheng Mingzhen's temperament, they knew that there would soon be a vicious battle to be fought. Otherwise, with the sect leader's orderly temperament in everything, he would never scatter the hard-won armor so casually and evenly.

As expected, the "flies" in Wuyang County quickly went and returned, and everyone camped to rest, and they also camped and rested in the distance. \ Everyone set off and they followed suit. It went and came, came and went, and dragged and dragged for days. When the team approached the water, they suddenly became bold and shouted and rushed towards the rear team of the Zhaozhou army. Although Cheng Mingzhen only took half an hour to repel them, the march had to slow down again. Before everyone could see the water wall, Wei De was thick-skinned and entangled again. At the same time, a ride of red dust from the south also broke into everyone's eyes.

"You take someone to drive Wei Deshen away, I'll take a look at the situation over there in Ermao!" Cheng Mingzhen knew that the person who came must be his own messenger, thought about it, and whispered an order to Du Juan.

The cuckoo nodded at him and led Wang Fei and other generals to roar away. A moment later, the soldiers of Wuyang County were killed in one place. This time, the county soldiers finally showed some real skills, and they were entangled for about three quarters of an hour before retreating. \ Taking this opportunity, Cheng Mingzhen also learned about the latest situation in the front, set up the Chinese military tent on the spot, and carefully consulted with the generals who had collected the troops and returned to the team.

"Tell everyone more about the situation. Let everyone have a number in their hearts! Cheng Mingzhen saw that the people were almost there, nodded and commanded in a low voice.

"Hmm!" The messenger sorted out his thoughts and introduced in a low voice: "We arrived in Qingzhang City two days ago, and Sang Xianhe and his officers and soldiers almost followed us back and forth. Taking advantage of his unstable foothold, General Wang led everyone to fight back. forced the officers and troops to retreat more than ten miles before re-encamping the camp. Then General Wang ordered the families of the brothers to retreat from the north gate and evacuated them all to the mountains! ”

"How many people did Sang Xianhe bring, and how many veterans?" The cuckoo listened impatiently, and asked with a frown. \

"We counted roughly at the head of the city, and estimated by the banner that it was about twenty-three thousand, no more than twenty-five thousand. Veterans account for about 30 percent, and the Hedong accent is very strong. The armor equipment is very good, not bad at all compared to those people last time! The messenger thought for a moment and gave a rough number.

This is already the strongest opponent that the Zhaozhou army has ever seen, and in the past, there were opponents who were above the number, but they were all a group of untrained homeless, poorly armed, low morale, and no matter how many people there were, they couldn't withstand the hard work of everyone. This time, however, it was fully armed with officers and soldiers, and the number was more than three times that of the Zhaozhou army.

"Hehe, I'm worried that the armor is not enough. No, someone obediently sent it to the door! Without waiting for Cheng Mingzhen to continue asking, Wang Fei joked with a smile. \

He wasn't stupid and bold, but he didn't want to see the brothers frightened by the number of enemies. This sentence really played a role in adjusting the atmosphere, and someone immediately smiled and said, "In my opinion, the Wuyang County soldiers are just like that." We have 2,000 men left behind us, enough to defend the city to the death. The rest followed the head of the sect and immediately rushed to Qingzhang City to fight Sang Xian and one by surprise! ”

"Yes, the last time the surname Sang ran fast, this time it's not so cheap!"

"Wang, General Wang told me before leaving, please don't rush over!" The Messenger's words were out of step with the warm atmosphere here, cautious, but clear.

The noise immediately stopped, and everyone turned around and looked at the boss in unison. The expression on Cheng Mingzhen's face was still solemn and calm, he thought about it, and continued to ask: "How many people are still in Qingzhang City, and what about Ping'en and Zhushui City?" Are the hearts of the people in these three places still at peace? ”

"After receiving your warning, Mr. Du immediately arranged for the brothers' families to evacuate. The situation in the three cities is similar, and those who are related to us, for fear of retaliation from the officials and soldiers, have temporarily hid in the mountains. Some of them are not family members of the brothers, and they are afraid that Sang Xianhe will not be able to control his subordinates, so they hide with us. Now the rest of the city are some old and weak who really can't walk, and some have a glimmer of hope for the discipline of the officers and soldiers. Although it is not the same heart as us, it does not have the courage to collude with the official army! ”

This is the only good news since the retreat to the south, and it makes people's hearts feel relieved. With this prerequisite, even if the abdomen and back are full of enemy troops and the number of people is huge, Cheng Mingzhen has enough confidence to deal with the opponent. "Any other news? How's it going over there? ”

"There hasn't been any news from Juluze's side yet. But I don't seem to have heard of any trouble for Zhang Ye over there. The rest is just trivial matters, oh, and a letter, General Wang asked me to bring to you! The messenger touched it from his bosom and took out a sweat-soaked letter bag, "It seems that it was sent by the head manager Xie of the Wagang army, and his people said that he said that the head manager Xie felt very sorry for everyone, so he was willing to atone for his sins in any way!" ”
