Yuan Xi saw that Tian Yu was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but hold his hand, and said strangely: "Didn't you win?" What is there to be ashamed of? ”

Tian Chou next to him hurriedly fastened the belt that had just been loosened, thinking to himself, sure enough, everyone up and down was bragging, and he still had to be ready to flee at any time, otherwise this Tian Guorang would not be ashamed to say such a thing.

Tian Yu lowered his head slightly, didn't dare to look at Yuan Xi, and said, "Originally, I arranged for Xu Dayan to pretend to receive the enemy defeated, lead the enemy army into the encirclement, and then ambush it. But I didn't expect it...... The other party is too vulnerable, and as soon as they make contact, they will be defeated like a mountain, and our ambushes will not be useful......"

He Daniu didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "Not only did it not come in handy, but it was too late to chase the deserters, and they were all taken advantage of by Xu Dayan." He thumped his chest and looked sorry. The expression was the same as if I hadn't eaten meat.

As they spoke, they walked out, and immediately saw Xu Dayan's company proudly escorting more prisoners than them, and walking towards the camp. Among them, the tall Gao Shun is particularly conspicuous, just after a battle, Gao Shun untied his clothes, his whole body was steaming, and the scars on his dark skin were very conspicuous. He was surrounded by his comrades-in-arms, and he was obviously valued by everyone.

When Xu Dayan saw Yuan Xi, he showed his white teeth and said: "Ah, second son, this group of people really didn't need to be beaten, I was going to pretend to defeat, but I didn't expect to use a little force, and they ran back without a price, causing me to chase for a long time." ”

Although he said it was a pity, he smiled on his face, obviously snatching the first credit in front of the second company, which made him feel very face-saving. He and He Da Niu are also old rivals, and they have not been competing with each other for a day or two, they are secretly competing.

Yuan Xi saw Xu Dayan, then looked at Tian Yu's expression, and suddenly his face sank, and said, "Xu Dayan, you guy, are you itching?" Come, arrest them, and beat them with twenty sticks. ”

Xu Dayan was startled, and hurriedly said: "Second son, I have made a great contribution, why did you beat me?" ”

Tian Yu, He Daniu, and Gao Shun all showed a look of attention, and Tian Chou also wondered. This second son not only brags, but also perversely.

Yuan Xi said: "Let me ask you, what is the task you received?" ”

Xu said with big eyes: "Feint defeat......"

Yuan Xi said: "Then why are you not defeated?" ”

Xu Dayan was suddenly speechless, and said, "This ...... These people are just too weak. ”

Yuan Xi said: "It's not easy to win, what's so difficult to lose?" I think you don't have a good attitude, and you didn't think about losing from the beginning, right? What is the difference between this kind of behavior and a violation of military discipline? If you meet these little soldiers, it doesn't matter, if you meet the regular elite, you violate military discipline, which is equivalent to falling into danger for the whole army! ”

The audience immediately calmed down, whether it was the second company that was complaining or the first company that was still happy just now, the more than 20 cavalry behind Tian Yu also suddenly respected Yuan Xi. They were ambushed for a long time in this battle, and finally their efforts were in vain, although they won the battle, they always felt that something was wrong. Hearing Yuan Xi say this, he suddenly understood.

Only the captives who were held by Xu Dayan were not happy in their hearts, and they all thought to themselves: "We are also regarded as regular officers and soldiers." You are the little hairy soldier, and your whole family is the little hairy soldier. ”

"How? Is there anything you're not convinced? Yuan Xi looked at Xu with big eyes, menacing.

Xu Dayan thought for a while, and still said: "The last general is convinced, and he is willing to accept punishment." ”

Tian Yu next to him said: "Second son, although Xu Dayan violated the order, the battle was still won, I think these twenty military sticks will be forgotten." ”

Yuan Xi said: "If you pass, you will be punished, and you will be rewarded for your merits." Thinking that you have won a big victory, and the merits and demerits are offset, this time forget it. ”

Xu Dayan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Yuan Xi said: "But you have to pay attention next time, if you violate the order and lose, come to me with your head on your own." ”

Xu Dayan asked, "What if I win?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "It depends on whether you have won more or less, originally in today's battle, if you obey the order and lead everyone into the encirclement, then we will not only catch these people." ”

The captives once again showed resentful eyes, as if to say, "We people have been captured by you, and you are not satisfied?" ”

Zhao Yun asked, "Second son, what about these captives?" Is it locked up? ”

Yuan Xi said: "You have to take care of the food when you lock it up, it's too wasteful." It just so happens that there is still a shortage of labor force for us to reclaim the land, and these people are just on top. ”

After Yuan Xiyi's explanation, these captured captives finally knew that it was the flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and their own people beat their own people, and after some education, in addition to putting back a few reports and telling Yi Jing to guard Zhao Rui, the others were incorporated into the reclamation team and began to work.

Yuan Xi's side has undergone some rectification, and the top and bottom are united. And Yi Jing's Zhao Rui was completely panicked.

He did not go out this time, but looked at the remnants of the soldiers outside the city fleeing back like mourners, his heart sank, and he hurriedly ordered the city gate to be closed.

"What can I do? I didn't expect that just Gongsun Zhan's defeated soldiers were so powerful. ”

He panicked. His soldiers are used to staying in the rear with General Chun Yuqiong, they have money and food, and they don't pay much attention to actual combat in peacetime, and the soldiers are a little pampered. Such a soldier will definitely not be able to fight on the front line. He also knew this, but this time he wanted to bully the other party, so he sent two-thirds of the three thousand guards in the city out at once. Unexpectedly, the other party not only did not escape, but also gave him a fiasco.

Someone next to him suggested: "Why don't you send someone to find the second son of Ji County for help?" ”

Help? That's definitely not going to happen. As soon as the reinforcements arrived, wouldn't their fiasco be revealed? When the time comes, General Chun Yu will be angry, and his hard-won military power will fly. What can I do? If it drags on, the other party will attack the city, and if Yijing City is lost, wouldn't it be a big trouble?

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Zhao Rui couldn't help but be a little at a loss.

A person next to him said: "I heard that the third prince went to Nanpi to be a guard, so it is better to ask the third prince for help." ”

"Third prince Yuan Shang?"

Zhao Rui couldn't help but think of this beautiful young man with a good demeanor. Yuan Shang and the old general Chun Yu are very familiar and have a good relationship, and when they saw him a few times ago, they also greeted him enthusiastically. looks quite good, and listening to his colleagues, this third son is also quite good. If it were him, maybe he wouldn't have told his ugly things. Well, that's it.

He said to his subordinates: "It's okay, this place is closer to Nanpi, if it is the second son of Ji County in the north, I'm afraid that the water far away can't quench the thirst of the near, so it's better to find the third son in the south for help." I'll fix a book, and you can find someone to send it to Nanpi. ”

As the sun set, the east gate of Yijing opened at an angle, and a black horse came out of the city, disappeared into the night, and headed south.
