Wang Shichong continued to think: Although Weixian is now two thousand miles away from Chengdu, the traffic has been unimpeded, and it will take four or five days for the military report to be sent to Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu and Shi Wansui turned their faces on this southern expedition, basically irreversible, Shi Wansui is now alone in the depths, unpredictable, he must not put all the treasures on him, and this time Gao Xi won the handsome position of the Southern Expedition for Shi Wansui, to a certain extent, it also tied Shi Wansui and the prince Yang Yong together, and this is what he tried to avoid, now victory is in sight, Yang Xiu and Shi Wansui will definitely do everything in their power to snatch the fruits of victory, and how to avoid getting involved in the battle between the two sides, That's what you need to think about right now.

After Wan Zhiguang happily took the arrow, he went down to find another big room to examine the leaders who surrendered one by one, and the leaders led by the big ghost master Jian Jin began to interrogate one by one, and Wang Shichong also returned to his camp outside the city, and soon, Liu Quan, Duan Da and other five generals followed.

While washing his face, Wang Shichong pointed to the five Hu beds that had already been set up in the tent, and said, "Sit down, everyone is tired today, take a good rest." ”

The faces of the five generals did not have the excitement and joy of the victors, on the contrary, they were indignant one by one, and the anxious wheat iron rod rushed to say: "Xingman, I waited for thousands of miles to come, fought hard to win, but almost nothing, can you stand this anger?" ”

Wang Shichong wiped his face clean, put the cloth towel in his hand back into the basin, and said quietly: "Why is there any anger? Iron rods. Don't you think we should all be happy? ”

Mai Tiezhu shouted dissatisfiedly: "Rejoice? Lines full. Your brain isn't hot for this? In today's big victory, the number of beheadings of each of us is no more than two thousand, and all the prisoners belong to Wan Zhiguang's kid, and the heaviest pursuit of the enemy head has not been gained, if it is just this credit, what are we doing in this hellish place with all this hardship? The other four nodded their heads.

Duan Da said: "Okay, General Mai is right, this time we are all coming for you. Earlier, you said that we should not get involved in the battle between His Royal Highness the King of Shu and Marshal Shi, we all think that you have a point, but today's battlefield is a dignified and upright battle, can't we even fight for this? ”

Wang Shichong looked at the five generals calmly and sighed: "Do you think that Wan Zhiguang got an errand to appease the barbarian leaders of the various tribes, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu would be able to give up?" ”

Sima Dekan's eyebrows moved: "Damn, this kid is watching the house in the back today, and he hasn't even received a head, and he has already divided 10,000 heads, and each of the five of us has given a few hundred." Is he still not satisfied? It's shameless!" Feng Xiaoci punched the small table in front of him hard, "Damn." It's too bullying, and if you don't face it like this, Lao Tzu will teach him a lesson even if he doesn't wear a military uniform. ”

Liu Quan's face changed, and he looked at Wang Shichong: "General Wang, you mean that His Royal Highness the King of Shu will not be satisfied with such a result, right?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu values only the merit of capturing or shocking, at least the Shu soldiers as the main force, breaking the enemy army on the battlefield, today's military order of General Yang, it is okay to deceive Wan Zhiguang, His Royal Highness the King of Shu will never buy it, he will only hate Marshal Shi, if Marshal Shi can't capture Marshal Shi in time, then the King of Shu will definitely reverse black and white and tell Marshal Shi to the emperor." ”

Duan Da gasped: "Grandma's, is there any heavenly reason, it is Manman, it was Marshal Shi who led us to win this great battle that can go down in history, and tens of thousands of soldiers in the whole army can testify." ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "Old Duan, the emperor is in the capital, thousands of miles away from here, how can he be clear about specific things, Marshal Shi's victory in this battle is true, but the two rebel leaders of Fu Hui and Ji Zhen still ran away, as long as these two people are not caught or killed for a day, this rebellion will not end for a day, and the King of Shu can completely reverse black and white, saying that Marshal Shi fled with the enemy, and even our more than 50,000 beheadings can be said to be killing good and risking merit." ”

Everyone didn't think of this layer at all, they were dumbfounded when they heard it, and they were silent, and in the end, it was Liu Quan who broke the silence: "General Wang, then you mean that we will stop here, and it is best to withdraw as soon as possible, so as not to be implicated with Marshal Shi, right?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu can't be offended, the so-called inseparable, no matter how he is also the emperor's own son, Marshal Shi tore his face with him in order to fight for military merits, because he has a high servant behind his back, and we people don't have the capital to learn from him."

But on the other hand, Marshal Shi is also something we can't offend, if we don't get his order, we withdraw without authorization, he can completely behead us. So the best choice now is to wait and see, this Wei County is the capital of Nanning Prefecture, surrounded by barbarian tribes, we have to hold it firmly here, if necessary, we must send troops to cooperate with Wan Zhiguang's troops, sweep away those barbarians who refuse to surrender, these are what we have to do now, as for which side the most Lu will stand on, it depends on the results of Shi Wansui's pursuit. ”

Everyone's faces were relieved, and Mai Tiecane raised a big finger at Wang Shichong: "Xingman, you are still powerful, our brothers will listen to you!"

Wang Shichong's gaze fell on the map on the table, and he muttered to himself: "Marshal Shi, General Zhang, I hope your movements can be faster." ”

Ten days later, at the Qixing Pass of Qiqi (in present-day Guizhou, Yunnan, mainly most of Guizhou) County, the two brothers of Fu Hui and Fu Zhen took less than 100 cavalry guards, and passed by here listlessly, for ten days, they have been chased by the Sui army behind the buttocks, originally one or two thousand people are now dead and scattered, and now there are only so many people left, and last night they were caught up by the Sui army, and they lost a captain of the guard to put on the clothes and armor of the Sui army, and brought more than 20 people to sacrifice their lives to lead away the Sui army's pursuers, which allowed them to escape.

After a night of running, Fu Hui and Fu Zhen finally confirmed that they had escaped from the pursuit, Fu Zhen only felt dizzy, rolled down from the saddle, and vomited on the side of the road, his son Fu Hongda hurriedly followed him, beating his chest and stroking his back for a while, and Fu Zhen on the side was also affected by this emotion, dismounted, and was silent on the side.

After spitting up, he raised his head, his face was full of sweat or tears, and he had been driven around like a rabbit for several days.

He sighed: "Big brother, is this really the end of us?" When is it time to run away like this, to spend every day in fear and rush? ”

Jian Zhen gritted his teeth and said: "I can't imagine that the Sui people really want to kill them all this time, not only have they completely occupied your Xijiao, but even my Dongjiao Wuban Department here, they are also deep into the territory, chasing after them, just in the six or seven days since we entered Dongjiao, there have been three villages covering us for the Sui army to break through, they just don't give us the opportunity to go back to our headquarters and regroup!"

Less than twenty years old, he still looks a little immature, and there are seven or eight points between his eyebrows like his father's Zhu Hongda asked: "Uncle, why don't we go back to your headquarters directly, although the Sui army is fierce, but the chasing soldiers seem to be only two or three thousand, as long as you go back to the headquarters, concentrate on all the desperate battles, there is no chance to turn defeat into victory, defeat these chasing soldiers of the Sui army, our life will be better, besides, don't you still have war elephants?" ”

Jiao Zhen smiled bitterly: "Those war elephants are not our Dongjiao, but the king of Linyi lent me to fight against the Sui people, originally if we win the battle here, and Li Guangshi in Guizhou can hold on, then our Ningzhou and Lingnan can be connected, with Linyi as the backing, after the joint capture of Jiaozhou, we can confront the Sui army, and at the end of the year, we can form an independent like Linyi."
