Chapter 203: The Mysterious Carriage
"What!?"
Tai Shici's answer was as if someone had struck Wang Chong on the back of the head, making his eyes black and he almost fell headlong.
The loss of the trapped camp is barely within the range of Wang Chong's bearing, after all, there are those four hundred trapped veterans to lay the foundation, as long as Hao Zhao is given a year, Jinfan can completely create a new trapped camp.
But the cavalry battalion is different, the south does not produce horses, and before Jinfan does not open up the northern channel and has its own war horse resources, it is really one less to die, and there is no way to replenish it at all.
Scarcity is precious, at this time, Wang Chong really misses Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying, and now with the rise of Jinfan, Jiangdong has gradually declined, if Han Sui wants to continue to seek cooperation, Jinfan is undoubtedly more suitable than Jiangdong.
Of course, Wang Chong didn't want to make himself so passive, at this moment, he had decided to wait for the end of the battle, and then took the initiative to send people to the north to seek cooperation, whether it was Han Sui in the northwest, Ma Teng or Gongsun Du in the northeast, they were all within Wang Chong's consideration, as long as he could afford the price, Wang Chong really didn't believe that he couldn't get a war horse.
'Poof', Tai Shi Ci knelt heavily on the ground, and said to himself in grief: "Lord, the last will be guilty, please punish the lord heavily!" β
Wang Chong shook his head slightly and said, "Ziyi, do you want to say that this battle was because of your wrong judgment, so that my Jinfan fell for Zhou Yu's tricks and suffered heavy losses?" β
Facing Tai Shici's puzzled gaze, Wang Chong smiled indifferently and explained: "In this battle, Zhou Yu is determined to lure us out of the city, don't you say it, we won't have doubts about the Jiangdong Army's long-term siege without attacking?" If you really want to investigate it, I should be the culprit who let Bo Dao go out of the city to tempt me, right? β
"This ...... But the lord ......"
"Alright, get up!" Wang Chong interrupted Tai Shici, stepped forward to help him up, and comforted, "Don't blame yourself, you should buy a lesson, just be careful in the future!" β
At this moment, although Wang Chong was very aggrieved in his heart, he still endured it and did not vent his temper, because in this battle, Tai Shici really can't be blamed, and then again, is the price paid by the Jiangdong Army really small?
No, their casualty figures are at least twice as many as those of Jinfan, including even more than a thousand Jiangdong cavalry who were killed by Jinfan cavalry when Tai Shici broke through, after all, in terms of elite, how can Jiangdong cavalry compare to Jinfan cavalry from the north and grew up on horseback?
In this battle, Wang Chong gained a total of more than 21,000 experience points, and Han Dang's head and skill rewards alone were enough to give Wang Chong more than 5,000 points of experience, and Wang Chong's level also rose to 37.

"By the way, what's the situation on Ziyang's side?"
Tai Shi Ci hesitated for a moment and replied, "Everything is as usual!" β
Wang Chongzhi stared at Tai Shici in a daze, was silent for a moment, and sighed gloomily: "I'm a little tired, so the city defense will ask Ziyi!" β
Tai Shi Ci clenched his fists and responded: "No! β
Wang Chong took a deep breath, tried to calm down his complicated thoughts, and took Ding Feng and a few other guards, turned around and walked into the vast rain curtain.
The reason for this is that Liu Ye had planned to send troops to rescue, but he gave up because of one of his generals' orders.
Thinking of this, Wang Chong really wanted to slap himself with a big ear scraper, after all, with Liu Ye's wisdom, he is fully capable of analyzing and judging the current situation by himself, how can he use his own cleverness to point fingers? This is typical self-defeating.
As for why Tai Shici didn't dare to say it clearly, it was very simple, because if he really dared to say it, he would inevitably be suspected of questioning and complaining about Wang Chong, which was a taboo between monarchs and ministers since ancient times.
Saying goodbye to Tai Shici, Wang Chong did not return directly to the county office, but went to Hao Zhao's residence to visit.
Hao Zhao was very moved, only to see that Wang Chong's silver armor was stained with blood, and he was covered in **, obviously he came here as soon as he returned to Shicheng, which shows that Wang Chong attaches great importance to him.
Wang Chong comforted Hao Zhao lightly, after all, it was Hao Zhao's hard work to trap the camp, and now that he had gone most of it at once, Hao Zhao's heart was painful, and he was afraid that he would be better than himself.
However, Hao Zhao is much more open-minded than Wang Chong imagined, just like the slogan of the trapped camp, 'The will to fall into the camp, there is death but no life', every soldier who joins the trapped camp has actually already been prepared to die, and now they can die vigorously on the battlefield, I believe they will not have any big regrets, anyway, the family will have Jinfan to take care of them.
The conversation between the two did not last long, firstly, Hao Zhao was seriously injured and needed a lot of time to rest, and secondly, Wang Chong should also go back to take a hot bath and change into clean clothes, in case he contracted the wind chill at this juncture, it would not be good.
Out of Hao Zhao's residence, the rain was already much lighter, and it turned into a lingering drizzle again.
The atmosphere of war is depression, and Wang Chong walked on the street carelessly, and he couldn't even see half a figure.
Suddenly, a carriage slowly came in front of him, occupying the main road, Ding Feng and other guards were about to step forward to stop the carriage and let it retreat to the side, but Wang Chong waved his hand to stop it, and said with a faint smile: "It's okay, let them pass first, how can anyone let the carriage come conveniently?" β
With that, he took the initiative to retreat to the side of the street and gave way to the main road in the middle.
The carriage was not ornate, and even a little rudimentary, but in this era, the person who could own the carriage was obviously not a pauper.
Among them, the most curious thing for Wang Chong was the groom who drove the carriage, only to see that this person was wearing a robe, a hat, thick eyebrows and big eyes, good facial features, and a decent atmosphere, and judging by his age, he was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.
And just as Wang Chong was looking at the young man, the young man obviously saw Wang Chong, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, so he turned his head and talked to the people in the carriage in a low voice, and he glanced at Wang Chong from time to time in the process, thinking that the content of their conversation should be related to Wang Chong.
"Phewβ"
When the conversation was over, the young man pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped in front of Wang Chong on the left.
The corner of the curtain was lifted by the young man, and a pale-haired old man poked his head out and saluted Wang Chong: "Dare to ask, but General Zhengdong is in front of him?" (To be continued.) )
