Chapter 4: Fighting Fires from the Mountains (Part I)

Hua Zhen, Mu Long and his entourage fled in a hurry and did not dare to stay for a moment, and finally fled back to the border of their country when it was dark. The two of them went to the border marshal's mansion in embarrassment to hand over the order.

Bian Shuai Tongling is forty years old, medium stature, yellow face and yellow beard, he was originally a small city guard, just because Ju Ran is the face of the original name Ju An is a cousin, so since Ju Ran gained power was promoted again and again, less than a year to become the border marshal, before taking office Ju Ran told him to fight a big victory as soon as possible, one can block the mouth of the ministers, he was promoted so quickly the ministers have already whispered, and the other can establish prestige in the army to prepare for the next promotion. Ju Ran deeply understands the importance of cultivating wings in the army, only the grace of the Queen Mother is still difficult to reassure him, there is no shortage of loyal martyrs in the Kang country, and there are endless chapters of impeachment of themselves at the risk of death, and their lives are not stable, if they can control part of the army, it will be different.

Yes, as soon as Tong Ling took office, he planned this two-way sneak attack, he was just a city guard before, and he also knew some about defending the city, and the matter of mobilizing thousands of troops and horses to attack each other in the field was not a little bit worse, and he was greedy for merit and resolutely issued a military order under the instigation of the two newly collected two border generals, regardless of the opposition of the generals, after all, it was the first time to mobilize so many people and horses, and he was very uneasy in the past two days, and suddenly had to report that Hua Zhen and Mulong were defeated and returned, and Chi Sheng and a thousand thousand soldiers did not return. His hanging heart immediately became cold.

The six gods and no master first summoned the prison army in, and after listening to his report, Tongling was a little stupid, more than 10,000 soldiers, just gone? Sweat oozing out of his forehead, so many people must not be able to hide it, how can this be explained, he didn't know what to say without going through a big battle.

At this time, the two side generals who took refuge in him whispered in his ear left and right, these are two villains who tend to be inflammatory, they were not powerful in the army before, the arrival of the copper ridge made them see hope, and they took refuge in the ground.

After listening to them, Tong Ling's face gradually became bloody, and he changed his stupid attitude and immediately ordered Hua Zhen and Mu Long to come to see him.

As soon as Hua Zhen and Mu Long entered the lobby, Tong Ling slapped a few cases without waiting for them to speak, and asked, "Are you guilty!" ”

Hua Zhen closed his mouth and looked at the ground without saying a word, Mu Long's eyes were already full of bloodshots, his chest rose and fell violently, and he glared at Tong Ling fiercely and said, "You still have the face to ask us if we know the crime?!" You have killed so many brothers, and I cannot spare you! As he spoke, he lunged at the bronze.

Mu Long's actions were beyond Hua Zhen's expectations, when he was surprised, Mu Long had been caught by the guards on both sides, Tong Ling didn't expect Mu Long to be so brave, and his arrogance was immediately gone, so he calmly pointed at Mu Long with his hand and said: "A bunch of nonsense, Ben Shuai's strategy could have been successful with one blow, but it's just ...... It's just that Chi Sheng didn't listen to the order, and he didn't do it so that the hidden form had been so that Zhao Jun could detect our intentions, and then he was able to set up an ambush in advance...... You are afraid of war, afraid of death, and you will not save you, how many people can you have in the Zhao army? If you rush to the rescue in time and attack inside and outside, Zhao Jun will not be able to be defeated with one blow? Even if you can't win a full victory, a small victory is certainly possible. ”

The wooden dragon struggled on the ground and hissed and roared, "You fart!" Are you as stupid as a pig and a dog like you?! Bastard thing! Today, I can't take your life on behalf of my dead brother, and I won't spare you even if I die! ”

Tong Ling didn't dare to let him say more, and waved his hand again and again: "Push it out, push it out, cut it!" Afraid of war, delay the fighter, the first level of the guerrilla! ”

The wooden dragon knew that he would die, and he cursed endlessly.

Hua Zhen didn't expect Mu Long to be so strong, and he was stunned to see him being dragged out, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, he was the substitute ghost that Chi Sheng chose for himself.

Disposed of the wooden dragon, Tong Ling's expression warmed, and said to Hua Zhen: "General Hua, I have figured things out, you and the prison army were trying their best to lead the army to cross the river to save Chi Sheng, if it weren't for this wooden dragon's disobedience, your credit would have been in hand, alas, although it was a defeat, but it was excusable, Ben Shuai will not cure your crime, go down first." "Even if he is confused, Ju Ran is not confused, the two border generals who took refuge in him are even more masters of studying the power of all parties, before taking office, Ju Ran told him that those people in the army cannot be moved lightly, including this Hua Zhen, the two border generals also specially mentioned how to treat Hua Zhen, although the old general Hua died, but his influence in Kangguo no one dared to despise.

Hua Zhen walked out of the Shuai Mansion without reluctance, and ended up in a fiasco on the first expedition, so many soldiers will never see each other again overnight, which is too shocking for him who has just experienced the battlefield, thinking of Chi Sheng's true feelings at the last moment, he can't help but want to cry.

After walking a short distance, suddenly a person rushed over, knelt at his feet with a pop, and cried and begged: "Young Marquis, General Hua, please save my Lord Mu." ”

Hua Zhen was startled, and when he looked at it, he recognized this person as one of Mulong's personal entourage, he sighed and said, "It's hard for you to have a heart to protect the Lord, but how can I save him." ”

The man cried: "Only the young marquis can be saved, but Lord Mu was convicted for saving the young marquis." ”

Hua Zhen's heart moved when he heard this, in fact, he had long been suspicious of Mu Long's various performances, but because Chi Sheng said that he was not compatible with Mu Long, he didn't think too much about it, and at this time, listening to Mu Long personally say this, he couldn't help frowning.

Seeing this, the man hurriedly got up and whispered in his ear in a hoarse voice: "Young Marquis, Lord Mu didn't really want to disobey when he was by the river, let alone afraid of death, but because he was entrusted by General Chi to ensure that the young marquis withdrew safely, he would rather suffer the shame of cowardice, in fact, ...... In fact, he and General Chi were like brothers, and they both cried when they withdrew. ”

Hua Zhen woke up like a dream, stomped his feet in annoyance and turned around to run towards the Shuaifu, just at this time, a military academy walked into the Shuaifu with a tray holding the head of the wooden dragon, Hua Zhen couldn't help but burst into tears, and the relatives roared like crazy and chased after the little school, Hua Zhen didn't want to look at it anymore, and walked towards his camp in despair, Chi Sheng's good intentions, Mulong's righteousness Bo Yuntian, and the loyal protector of this family made him really understand what is the pride of men, what is the friendship of colleagues.

The news of the defeat of Pinghe shook the government and the opposition, and the voices of impeachment in the court were everywhere, and Ju Ran used the newly cultivated henchmen to justify Tongling in every way, and put the blame on the generals of the unified army of the two roads, and at the same time vigorously publicized the exploits of Tongleng in attacking the city and seizing the land.

The other of the two roads was not damaged, Chi Sheng was almost wiped out along the way, but Hua Zhen was responsible for the response, although there was a wooden dragon to disobey the order, Hua Zhen could not escape his responsibility, so many ministers did not dare to press too hard.

Hua Zhen, who returned to Dechang City, was tormented, and his first thought was to go to see the military division, and when he came to the military division's mansion, the person who went in to report came back soon, and told him apologetically that the military division was too sick to see the guests, so please be considerate of the young marquis.

Hua Zhen returned home dejectedly, and in the evening someone asked to see him, claiming to be sent by General Zhongyong to deliver the letter.

After thinking about it, the man whispered that it was sent by the military advisor.

Hua Zhen's eyes lit up, and he was brought into the inner room, and the person who came first expressed the military advisor's apology, and then said: "Young Marquis, the military advisor is very considerate of the young marquis's mood at the moment, but I also hope that the young marquis will be patient for the time being, even if he can bring down the copper ridge this time, it is nothing, if he goes to a copper ridge, someone else will soon make up for it, and we can't hurt the person above, so now is not the best time, the young marquis is better not to go to the military master's mansion in the future, there are already ears and eyes to monitor it, and when the time comes, the military advisor will send someone to ask the young marquis to help." , before that, please be cautious and protect yourself. ”

Hua Zhen finally got the news from the military advisor, and he was happy and helpless in his heart, I don't know when this time will come, can he just let go of the copper ridge that bears the blood debt of more than 10,000 soldiers? No matter how reluctant he was in his heart, he still had great respect for the military advisor, and since he said so, he had to do it first. Since then, he has strictly followed the instructions of the military advisor, studied the military books and war strategies behind closed doors, and always waited for the changes in the situation.
