Chapter 134: Humiliation
Half an hour later, deep in a wood. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The many Wei soldiers who broke through the encirclement finally gathered together and stopped for a short time to rest.
Zhang Meng looked at the figure of the thousand people who were observing the movement of Zhao Jun at the back, and then dragged his tired body to the ground.
After a while, the thousand people pushed away the soldiers and came to Zhang Meng, gasping softly: "General, Zhao Jun...... The Zhao army withdrew. β
"Look at your unhurried appearance, Ben General, I have already guessed it!" After exhaling, Zhang Meng showed a faint smile.
After a short rest, Zhang Meng stood up first, looked around and said in a deep voice: "Count, how many people are left, we can't stay here for a long time, let's wait until we get to Mucheng and then everyone rests." β
"Yes." A thousand-man general arched his hand and walked towards the group of expressionless soldiers.
After a while, the thousand generals had already roughly counted the soldiers present one by one, and then there was a complicated look on the face.
Returning to Zhang Meng's side, he squatted down and sat down, but he just kept his head shut and didn't speak.
"How?" Zhang Meng, who had just returned from his inspection, looked down at him and asked softly.
"Of the 20,000 soldiers, less than 4,000 rushed out, plus the 2,000 soldiers and wounded soldiers we brought out, it is more than 5,000 people."
The sum of the battle before and after the battle was nothing more than an hour, but in this short hour, there were less than 4,000 of the 20,000 troops left, and anyone who heard this number would feel depressed and sad.
"Arise and command the army to depart." After a short silence, Zhang Meng rubbed his somewhat heavy head and said in a deep voice.
The matter has come to this point, whether it is grief or indignation, regret, after all, it is over, and the important thing now is how to get the remaining people out of here as soon as possible.
The soldiers began to assemble at will, and the delivery of military orders began. At this time, Zhang Meng naturally became the general of the team.
But just as the whole team was about to move forward, the two soldiers of the rear team heard a strange noise.
"Who?"
Looking back, it was Gongzi Wei who escaped from the chaos and the only swordsman.
At this moment, Gongzi Wei was already groggy, completely lacking the vigor before the attack, and the whole person was stunned, without a trace of brilliance on his face.
"Presumptuous, the general is back, don't wait for the salute." The swordsman held Gongzi, snorted coldly, and scolded the soldier coldly.
At this moment, Zhang Meng, who noticed something unusual in the soldiers in the rear, strode over.
When he saw Gongzi Wei for the first time, Zhang Meng was slightly stunned, and then arched his hand symbolically and thoughtfully towards him, and said lightly: "Isn't this the general?" The last general, Zhang Meng, was stationed in Fangcheng to defend against the enemy, but learned that the Zhao army had gone south to intercept the general. The last general was afraid that the general would fall into the trap of the Zhao army, and he didn't want to fall into the tiger's mouth before the general had already fallen into the tiger's mouth, so he blamed the general for being one step slower. Since the general returned safely, I don't know what instructions the general has? β
In the face of Gongzi Wei, who suddenly appeared here, all the soldiers chose to be silent at this moment, and no one cared whether he was a general or not.
Although Zhang Meng did not lose his appearance, everyone knew what he meant.
I saw that the swordsman on the other side was about to be angry with anger. But at this moment, Gongzi Wei raised his pale face, looked at Zhang Meng, and said weakly: "Ben...... There is no indication from this childe! It's all up to the general! β
When the last word was spoken, Childe hung his head weakly.
At this time, Zhang Meng had completely ignored his identity, and after directly glancing at the swordsman, he waved the big sword behind him and turned around suddenly: "All the soldiers obeyed the order, and the army rushed to Mucheng at full speed, and rushed to Mucheng as fast as possible, guarding the city and waiting for reinforcements." β
In the darkness of the night, the army barely made its way through the woods that were inaccessible.
"How will this become a son? Wasn't it quite impressive to return the generals before the war! β
"His life is almost gone, what kind of ...... is he still angry"
During the march, sentences of cynicism intermittently reached Gongzi's ears.
However, at this time, the son on horseback was still sitting demented, without saying a word.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning.
In the palace of the Great Liang of the Wei State, a cold wind swept through the sky and the residual leaves were constantly rotating and flying.
A eunuch hurried into the court with the urgent news of the city guard.
In the middle of the court, he knelt directly and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, there is a battle situation." β
As soon as the battle report came out, the whispers between the ministers all stopped in an instant. The entire court hall was quiet and there was not the slightest sound.
On the throne, King Wei Hui looked at the eunuch's panicked look, faintly, he felt that this was not good news.
At this time, the ministers around him had already reported the urgency.
At the moment when King Wei Hui stretched out his hand to take the urgent report and opened it, the ministers all pinched a cold sweat in their hearts.
The roll of sheepskin was slowly spread out in the hands of King Wei Hui. But as King Wei Hui's head moved up and down, after flipping through it. He grabbed the sheepskin with one hand and slammed his palm on the several cases in front of him.
"Humph!"
With a cold snort from that blurted out, the ministers were all frightened. Even if it is like Hui Shi's identity, he will bow his head heavily and do not say a word. Some low-powered courtiers couldn't help but tremble.
"This rebel, the widow is really blind, so he will be the main general and preside over this war."
On the main seat, King Wei Hui scolded again, and the battle report in his hand had been knocked down in his anger.
"Where is Situ Zhuwei?" After a few heavy gasps, King Wei Hui, who was furious, looked at Zhu Wei behind Hui Shi with wide eyes.
"The minister is here." Zhu Wei hurriedly stood up.
"The widow ordered you, immediately carry the widow's token, go to Mucheng quickly, tie up that rebel, and put him on death row." This sound of gritting teeth, at this moment, is enough to explain the resentment in King Wei Hui's heart.
"The ministers obey the king's commands." Zhu Wei thanked the token handed by the eunuch and hurriedly retreated.
Looking around at the ministers with fierce eyes, King Wei Hui hesitated for a while before he eased the excitement in his heart.
"Our army and the Zhao army have been engaged in battle with last night, our army has been defeated, and now it is retreating to Mucheng, guarding the city and waiting for reinforcements. Do you have a good way to retreat from the enemy? β
Compared to Fang Cai's anger, King Wei Hui's words were obviously much calmer at this time.
But everyone knows that the current King Hui is just suppressing the anger in his heart.
The voice slowly dissipated for a long time. But no one in the entire court spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a clever plan?!" After a long time, King Wei Hui raised his voice and asked again.
However, no one answered.
"The dignified Wei Dynasty, no one is willing to come forward to retreat from the enemy in the face of the national disaster, it is really a great shame, a great shameββ"
After some scolding, King Wei Hui was actually out of breath, his face was already flushed, and it took a while to ease up: "Limited to all of you Aiqing for one day, if no one comes forward to retreat from the enemy tomorrow morning, you can go to this Great Liang City with me Wei Pop to defend against foreign enemies!" β
"Retreatβ"
