"Report to the general, the villains have caught a Tartar official, may I ask the general, what should I do with this Tartar?" A red-turbaned sergeant, covered in blood, knelt on one knee and pointed to Haribari, who was tied up and thrown on the ground like an animal, and asked the tall red-turbaned general in armor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And the tall general in armor and armor who couldn't see his face clearly, when he heard the words of the red turban sergeant, he just snorted coldly and said: "It's just a tartar, it's not enough to waste food to keep him, kill it." ”

"The general spares his life, the general spares his life. The villain Haribari has a lot of assets in his family, as long as the general can spare the villain's life, the villain is willing to dedicate all his property to you, the general. Hearing the words of the tall general, Haribari, who was tied up with five flowers, couldn't help but beg for mercy hoarsely.

"Hmph, dog tartar. Falling into the hands of the general, how can you live? Someone, pull this dog down and cut it down for me. As soon as the general's voice fell, two sturdy red-turban sergeants suddenly appeared beside Haribari.

Haribari, who was still strong, was in the hands of these two soldiers, but like a chicken and dog waiting to be slaughtered, he was easily taken off by these two soldiers. Like a dead dog, Haribari was dragged to a land stained red with blood.

Seeing that the steel knife was cut off at the moment, Haribari, who was extremely frightened, couldn't help but roar, opened his eyes violently, and then touched his head in a panic. only to realize that everything just now was just a dream.

"Lord Haribari, it's really good that you're awake." Outside the door, the commander of the personal guard, who had been loyally guarding, couldn't help but rush into Hari Barri's room as soon as he heard the exclamation in his sleep. Then when he saw the awakened Hari Barri, he couldn't help but say so happily.

However, at this time, Haribari has not yet recovered from the nightmare just now. Therefore, Ha Ri Ba Ri did not pay attention to the words full of joy of his own personal guard commander.

And seeing Hari Bari like this, the pro-guard couldn't help but ask worriedly again: "Lord Hari Bari, are you okay?" ”

The greeting was soft, but Haribari heard it. Therefore, at this time, Haribari couldn't help but squeeze out a smile, and smiled at his loyal guard commander and said, "Sininigan, I'm fine, it's fine. ”

"That's good, General, it's good that you're okay." Hearing Haribari's reply, Sininigan, who was called the first year of junior high school, couldn't help but say so with such a happy face.

"Sininigan, what time is it, how long Ben will be unconscious." After coming to his senses, Haribari looked at the dim sky outside the house, and couldn't help but ask his own guard commander.

Sininigan: "General, it should have just arrived at dawn, and you have only been in a coma for one night, General. ”

"One night, Lord Gong Buban has come here to visit the general." Hearing this, Haribari's expression was relieved, but he couldn't help but ask like this.

Hearing such a question, Sininigan replied again respectfully: "Back to the general's words, Lord Gong Buban came to visit the general last night, and also asked the last general about yesterday's battle. ”

"And what do you say?" Hearing Sininigan's words, Haribari raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask again.

Sininigan: "The last general said to Lord Gongbuban that our army fell for the treacherous scheme of the red turban thieves to hide the sky and the sea, and the red turban thieves who stayed in Yexian County were actually far more than five hundred, and the scout's poor investigation caused our army to be ambushed by the red turban thieves, so it would be defeated. ”

Hari Bari: "Then did you ever tell Master Gongbuban about the specific strength of the Red Turban Thieves who ambushed us?" ”

Sininigan: "No, the last general just said to Lord Gongbuban that at the beginning of the battle, he saw the figures of red turban thieves in all directions, and their number was far more than five hundred. As for the specific number of troops, the last general is not clear. ”

Hearing Sininigan's words, Haribari couldn't help but nod his head, and after he said, "You did a good job," he got up from the bed and dressed, thinking in his mind how to shirk the blame for his defeat.

……

Almost an hour and a half later, when the more than 10,000 troops stationed in Xiangcheng were preparing to march, in the big tent of the Chinese army in the privy council of Jiangbei Province, Gong Buban, who had a gloomy face, looked at Haribari who was kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Hari Bari, tell me, why were you defeated yesterday?" ”

Hearing Gong Buban's stern questioning, Hari Bari couldn't help but bow down to Gong Buban with a sad face, and said to Gong Buban with a sad face: "Privy Counsellor, the last general will be guilty. The last general failed to see through the treacherous plan of the red turban thieves to hide from the world and the sea, and failed to detect the true strength of the red turban thieves stationed in Ye Xian, resulting in an ambush by the red turban thieves, causing our army to lose its troops. The last will be guilty, and the last will be willing to be punished. ”

After saying this, Hari Bari bowed to Gong Buban again with tears in his eyes, and then buried his face on the ground with tears, looking extremely ashamed.

And seeing him like this, Gong Buban is not good at continuing to blame him for his sins. Therefore, after a slight silence for a moment, Gong Buban couldn't help but ask in a deep voice again: "The strength of the red turban thieves stationed in Ye Xian is really far more than five hundred?" ”

Hari Barri: "Your Majesty, the words of the last general are true, if the red turban thief really only has 500 people, how can the last general be defeated." The red turban thief stationed in Ye Xian can be described as treacherous as a fox, and his army has at least a few thousand people, but he falsely claims that five hundred people will be fooled. ”

Hearing Haribari's words, and comparing with his inquiry to the four hundred soldiers who came back last night, Gong Buban couldn't help but believe Haribari's words. After all, even he didn't think that the Red Turban Thief could really use five hundred people to defeat the three thousand army on his side.

Therefore, after thinking about this, Gong Buban's anger in his heart for the defeat of Hari Bari couldn't help but reduce a little. After all, the news that Ye Xian's defenders only had five hundred people was said by himself, and now this news is wrong. Therefore, the defeat of Hari Bari is also considered to have a certain responsibility.

But despite this, Gongbuban still wants to punish Haribari. Because no matter what, the defeat of Haribari is true, and he has already been guilty, and it is impossible for him to go unpunished for it. Besides, now, Lord Yexian and His Royal Highness King Wei's main route army have also gone south, so they can't make a mistake on their side.

Therefore, thinking like this in his heart, Gong Buban looked at Haribari who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but think of killing chickens and monkeys in his heart.

Of course, although it is said that it is necessary to kill chickens and monkeys, but after all, Hari Ba Ri is a serious court of ten thousand households, and it is obviously impossible to kill him because of a defeat. Therefore, after a moment of slight silence, Gong Buban looked at Haribari who was kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but say aloud: "Haribari, as the vanguard of our army, you shoulder a heavy responsibility, and you can't defeat the enemy, not to mention, but make our army lose troops and lose generals. Therefore, this privy councillor has no choice but to enforce the law of the land and degrade you to a thousand households. Can you be convinced of this penalty? ”

"Thank you for the punishment of Lord Privy Counsel, and the last general will be convinced." Hearing that Gong Buban directly demoted him to a small thousand-household official, although Haribari's heart was full of frustration and complaints, but on his face, he still made a happy and sincere expression.

When Gong Buban heard what he said, he naturally nodded, and then waved his hand to let Hari Bari stand up, and after Hari Bari got up from the ground, he also got up and ordered loudly to the generals in the tent: "Pass on my military order, the whole army will immediately march, and all the troops must rush to the outside of Yexian City in the evening." ”

Commanders: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Then, after about a quarter of an hour, the army of nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers stationed outside Xiangcheng, under the orders of Gong Buban, finally rushed straight towards the county town of Yexian in their south.

And the flowers bloom in two, one on each branch. In other words, just when Gong Buban was leading an army of nearly 20,000 and was slaughtering towards Ye Xian, he was at the security station in the south of Ye Xian for almost two days. Guo Yu, who was a thousand cavalry under Zhang Shihua, also led only 800 cavalry under Zhang Shihua to break away from the large army, with the task of urgently supporting Ye Xian, like a gust of wind, with a thunderous momentum towards Ye Xian County, hundreds of miles away.

"Hurry up, everyone, non-stop, never leave the saddle, no matter what, you have to rush to Yexian County when the sun sets. Otherwise, they shall be punished according to the crime of failure in military law. Guo Yu, who was riding his horse in a hurry, raised his whip forward, and shouted at his subordinates left and right.

Hearing Guo Yu's roar, the remaining eight hundred red scarf riders couldn't help but grit their teeth, and used the whip in their hands to whip towards the incomparably beloved war horse under their crotch. Under the whip of the horse, the horse suffered pain, and naturally the speed was accelerated, making this army, which would have been like a storm, even faster.

……

Approaching the evening, Ye Xian County under Zhang Shihua's rule, the people of Ye County at this time, almost already knew how much the real strength of the Tartars attacked Ye Xian this time. Therefore, Ye Xian at this time undoubtedly fell into a panic.

After all, 20,000 people, this number is really terrible for Ye Xian, who has a total population of less than 20,000. Even in the Optimist faction, it is impossible to maintain the confidence of victory in their hearts under the watchful eyes of nearly 20,000 troops.

However, fortunately, in such a critical situation, at least the more than 1,000 officers and soldiers in the city still have fighting spirit.

Although it is said that yesterday's battle with the three thousand Tartar pioneers had already caused Ye Xian to lose more than 200 warriors. However, in yesterday's battle, this brave army captured more than 1,500 officers and soldiers and killed nearly 700 Tartar soldiers.

With such a brilliant victory to boost morale, the more than 1,000 officers and soldiers defending the city are still full of courage to show their swords when they encounter the enemy.

In the evening, on the walls of Ye Xian. Li Chongsan looked at the army of Tartars that was pressed by the black pressure and almost impossible to see at a glance, and couldn't help but sigh with worry, and then said to Zhao Er, who was standing in front of him: "Thanks to General Zhao's counterattack against the enemy yesterday, he dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Tartars and boosted the morale of our army. Otherwise, the Tartars would probably have attacked the city today, instead of camping outside the city, giving us an extra night's respite. ”

Therefore, General Zhao can be said to be the life-saving benefactor of the people in the city. Therefore, please allow General Zhao to accept Li's worship to express Li's apology for not knowing what happened before. ”

After saying this, Li Chongsan really bowed to Zhao Er. However, before Li Chongsan could bend down to worship, Zhao Er, who was standing beside him, had already reached out to support him, and after holding Li Chongsan, he said to Li Chongsan: "Mr. Li was also dedicated to the public before, what is wrong." ”

"So, please don't do this to Mr. Li, Zhao can't afford Mr. Li's gift. At this time, the Tartar army was already under the city, so Zhao only hoped that he could abandon his previous suspicions with Mr. Li and fight the enemy together. ”

Hearing Zhao Er's sincere words, Li Chongsan naturally did not bow down, but admired Zhao Er with admiration on his face after getting up: "General Zhao, he is loyal and brave, and he can really be described as a famous general in the world." ”

Therefore, in this way, Li Chongsan and Zhao Er can be regarded as completely abandoning their previous suspicions, and wholeheartedly discussed the next anti-thief plan.

But it has to be said that in the face of absolute power, all intrigues and tricks are useless. Facing an army of Tartars more than ten times their own, Li Chongsan and Zhao Er, plus a group of Red Turban Army generals and Ye County officials, spent nearly half an hour, but they couldn't come up with any good solutions.

However, there is no endless road, and it is said that when Zhao Er and them are worried because they are difficult to resist the enemy. Outside Yexian County, Guo Yu led more than 800 knights under his command, and after a long journey of a whole day, he finally rushed to the outside of Yexian City, which was surrounded by nearly 20,000 Tartar troops, when the sun was setting.

"General, the four walls of Yexian County have been surrounded by the Tartar army, and it is difficult for our army to enter, but what should we do?" Looking at Yexian County, which was heavily surrounded in front of him, Guo Yu's deputy Qianhu was also Zhang Xianyou, who was also a veteran of the former Inspection Department, couldn't help but ask Guo Yu with such a worried face.

"Hmph, since the Tartars are blocking our way, then let's fight our way next." Hearing the words of Deputy General Zhang Xianyou, Guo Yu said without thinking about it.

Hearing Guo Yu's words, Zhang Xianyou, as a deputy general, couldn't help but shout at Guo Yu with a resolute face: "In this case, please give the general the order to charge!" ”

"Please give the general the order to charge!" After hearing the conversation between the two generals, the guards beside Guo Yu couldn't help but shout like this.
