790, Xin Wenli single-mindedly married Yue'e, and Zuo Zongtang punished the two generals before the battle
Xin Wenli laughed and said, "Okay, little sister, don't say more in this case, my daughter's family still has to find a good family to marry." I also told you before, General Di has sent people to propose marriage again and again, why is the little sister so obsessed? This Jiaozhou is General Di's sooner or later, and the glory and wealth will not be at your fingertips at that time, so the little sister must not miss the opportunity! ”
Hearing Xin Wenli's words, Xin Yue'e's face suddenly became cold, and her tone became cold, she snorted coldly: "Then Di Xin already has a group of wives and concubines, and my brother let my little sister marry her, what status can I have?" And what happiness will there be? Does the elder brother want to ignore the happiness of the little sister in his life for the sake of his future glory and wealth? ”
Xin Wenli had mentioned it to Xin Yue'e a few times before, but none of them were rejected by Xin Yue, although the king was quite heroic, but he had already accepted many beauties, so Xin Yue'e was very disdainful of the insatiable greed of the king of Zhou. She had clearly said to Xin Wenli before that she would never marry the King of Xu, and today Xin Wenli took this opportunity to bring up the old matter again, which naturally made Xin Yue'e hate again.
"Little sister, it is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, why are you so persistent? Besides, General Di will definitely not treat you badly for my sake. ”
Xinyue'e immediately turned around, took two steps and stopped, and then said with a sneer: "If my brother mentions this matter again, then the relationship between you and my brother and sister will end here!" ”
Hearing Xinyue's words, Xin Wenli looked at her in a daze, and then shouted, "Yue'e...... Yue'e ...... You ......"
Without waiting for Xin Wenli to finish speaking, Xin Yue'e left without looking back, leaving Xin Wenli shaking his head and sighing without mentioning it.
After Tai Shici rescued Huang Zhong and went back, he ordered the military medical officer to quickly give him medicine without mentioning it, at this time, Huang Zhong was naturally full of anger, and when he arrived at the barracks, he kept scolding the person who attacked him.
"Dare to hurt people with secret arrows, I will definitely not show mercy to my subordinates next time we meet, and I will be angry to death!"
Huang Zhong roared, and then took the wound on the shoulder socket to see, and couldn't help grinning his teeth, the pain was unbearable.
Tai Shici hurriedly comforted: "Han Sheng, don't be impulsive, the medical officer has instructed you not to be angry, otherwise this injury may not be healed in ten days and half a month, it is better to recuperate from the injury, and then try to enter the army!" Moreover, the enemy commander was almost beheaded by Brother Han Sheng today, and at this time, he must be like the bird with a frightened bow, and he will not dare to go out lightly! ”
Huang Zhong let out a sigh, he also knew that if he wanted to take revenge, he would definitely have to wait for his injuries to heal before he could go to the battlefield again, cut down the new Wenli, find the person who injured him with a dark arrow, and shoot him to death with an arrow, so as to vent the hatred in his heart.
That night, Huang Zhong was resting in the camp, when he suddenly heard a shout of killing outside, he was shocked, and quickly got up and called the soldiers outside the tent to ask about the situation.
"Back to the general's words, the enemy led troops to raid our army's camp, our army was unprepared for a while, and was caught off guard by the enemy, and now General Taishi is reorganizing his troops and horses to meet the enemy."
Hearing this, Huang Zhong was anxious and annoyed, and shouted loudly: "Quick, put on my armor, I'm going to kill the enemy!"
"But the general, your injuries?"
Huang Zhong was full of annoyance, and his face was full of anxiety and shouted: "What is this little injury!" Only the left arm can't be forced, the right hand is still the same! ”
The pawn did not dare to disobey Huang Zhong's order, and hurriedly helped Huang Zhong with the armor on the ship, Huang Zhong was no longer able to ride a horse at this time, so he had to kill the enemy on foot.
Xin Yue'e originally thought that Huang Zhong and Tai Shi Ci were defenseless and would definitely kill them, and they had no power to resist. This was indeed the case when the initial raid was made, but when Tai Shici reacted and immediately commanded the Iron Blood Army and the Eagle Falcon Army to counterattack, the discipline and adaptability of these two troops really surprised Xinyue. When Huang Zhong came to the field with his injuries, the Eagle Falcon soldiers under his command finally found the backbone and shouted together to kill the army of Crescent Yue.
Seeing that the enemy had already arrived, Xinyue'e knew the truth of accepting it when she saw it, she didn't dare to fight any more, and with an order, the army immediately withdrew to Hepu City.
When the smoke cleared and the dust settled, Tai Shi Ci checked the loss of soldiers and horses, the Iron Blood Army suffered nearly 2,000 casualties, while the Eagle Falcon Army lost more than 2,000 people, this battle reduced their vanguard troops by almost more than half, both of them were in a very low mood, Huang Zhong sighed, shook his left arm, and said to Tai Shi Ci: "Ziyi, today's defeat is caused by me, and I should ask General Zuo for guilt!" ”
Where would Tai Shici let Huang Zhong bear the responsibility alone, and hurriedly said: "Brother Han Sheng, why did he say this! In the first battle during the day, he almost killed Xin Wenli, which is the credit of General Huang, and all the soldiers can testify. It's just that General Zuo had already instructed us to be careful before leaving, but we still didn't pay attention to such a big loss, and General Huang was wounded. Failed to pay attention. I'm too Shi Ci to bear it! So this defeat is all in mercy, not General Huang's fault! ”
Both of them wanted to take the blame, after all, the losses in this battle can be said to be quite heavy, there has been no such faux pas in the past year, Zuo Zongtang has always loved soldiers like sons, suffered this defeat, lost soldiers and lost generals, how can Zuo Zongtang not be angry?
"Alas, you and I don't have to fight, what is the punishment, when the time comes, General Zuo will have his own conclusion, you and I still regroup our troops and horses, wait for General Zuo's army to arrive!"
Huang Zhong knew that there were powerful characters in this Hepu City, and now that he was wounded, nearly half of his soldiers and horses had been lost, and his morale was also low, so he had no strength to attack the city anymore, so he had to wait for Zuo Zongtang's army to come before making plans.
The two armies held each other for half a month, Zuo Zongtang finally came with a large army, Huang Zhong and Tai Shi Ci Yuanyuan rushed over to report the previous situation and asked Zuo Zongtang for guilt together, Zuo Zongtang thought for a while, looked at the two of them with a guilty face, and suddenly shouted: "You two are the vanguard but they attack so rashly, set up camp but don't know how to beware of enemy attacks, causing me to lose my troops and generals, the crime is unforgivable, come, drag Huang Zhong and Tai Shi Ci down and beat fifty military sticks each!" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Song and Lin Chong on the side hurriedly turned over and dismounted, bowed down and pleaded: "General Zuo is angry!" Now is the time to employ people, if the two generals receive this military stick, they will definitely not be able to go into battle to kill the enemy again, and I hope that the general will remember the past merits of the two generals, and temporarily spare the two of them once! ”
Zuo Zongtang paused for a while, sighed and said, "How can I not know when to employ people?" This defeat not only caused heavy losses to our army, but also seriously affected the morale of the army, and not punishing the two was not enough to understand the discipline of our army and stabilize the morale of our army. However, since the two generals interceded for them, they temporarily sent thirty military sticks, and dragged the two of them down to beat each twenty military sticks as a punishment! ”21010
