Chapter 154: This Is the Way It Should Be (1)

Shang Rang, who woke up soon, saw that the army had accelerated the speed of the march, and knew very well what kind of decision Huang Chao had made, at this time he was extremely painful, he had been running on the road before, looking forward to seeing the general as soon as possible and returning to the team as soon as possible, but when he really came back, he found that the pain he had suffered was unbearable.

Huang Chao's attitude, Ling Shang Rang felt the crisis, this is also very normal, if Zhao Zhang has nothing to do, maybe Huang Chao's attitude is different, and in the previous letter to Huang Chao, it was reported that Liu Yunzhang was left behind in the eastern capital to open the city gate and surrender, and even the Luoyang city gate was directly controlled by the army, how long has it been, and it has brought such tragic news, if Huang Chao can accept it immediately, it will be really strange.

Huang Chao led the army and hurried to Luoyang, definitely to find Li Rupei and the iron-blooded army to take revenge, anyone would do this, after Huang Kuo, who was sent to Liangzhou to conquer, failed, Huang Chao once thought about conquering Liangzhou, but at the insistence of Zhao Zhang and others, Huang Chao focused on the overall situation, and decided to attack the eastern capital Luoyang and the capital Chang'an, but the iron-blooded army continued to give Huang Chao heavy blows, first killing Huang Chao's younger brother Huang Kuo, and then killing Zhao Zhang, the first strategist under Huang Chao, such a moment, If Huang Chao didn't make any moves, it would be too cowardly.

After painful thinking, Shang Rang decided to meet Huang Chao, and he wanted to report the bravery of the Iron Blood Army to Huang Chao, reminding Huang Chao that this was not to reduce his guilt, this was for Huang Chao and the army.

The guards around him were Huang Chao's personal soldiers, and Shang Rang, who had made up his mind, found a personal soldier and asked him to convey his intention to see Huang Chao on his behalf, and when such a personal soldier left, Shang Rang waited silently.

After a while, the soldiers came back and spoke very directly, meaning that the general was very busy at this time and had no time to meet, so he asked Shang Rang to rest well and not think about other things.

Shang let the whole person feel like falling into the ice cellar, following Huang Chao for so many years, he knows Huang Chao very well, Huang Chao said such words, it is not simple, it is said that in the army, his status is not ordinary, it can be said that he is second only to Huang Chao, and even higher than Zhao Zhang's position, this is very simple, because he has an army in his hands, can lead the sergeants to charge, and also has a good strategy, he is more comprehensive than Zhao Zhang.

Shang Rang originally wanted to go directly to see Huang Chao, express his worries, and implore the general to make adequate preparations and not blindly attack the Iron Blood Army, but the things that appeared in front were too big, and the cautious Shang Rang still asked the soldiers around him to carry the words, but he didn't expect Huang Chao to refuse so simply.

It can be seen that even if he still makes relevant suggestions, Huang Chao will not listen to them, and the attitude that Huang Chao shows today may be the attitude that puts him on the edge from now on.

Half an hour later, Zhu Wen came over.

"General Shang, the general knows that you are awake, let someone come over and take a look."

Zhu Wen is also one of the most courageous generals under Huang Chao, and has a good strategy, but Shang Rang has never known this Zhu Wen very well, I don't know why, every time he is with Zhu Wen, he can feel a chill, to say that this Zhu Wen leads the troops to fight, more brave and ruthless than him.

"General Zhu, a certain person is in good health, there is nothing to do, along the way, a certain thought of General Zhao who was killed, his heart is very uncomfortable, a certain and the iron blood army directly fought, there are some feelings and worries, I want to talk to the general, and ask General Zhu to help tell the general."

"This, the general is planning how to exterminate the Iron and Blood Army, and in this case, it is not good to give advice to the general."

Shang Rang sighed slightly, and then spoke.

"The iron-blooded army is indeed very brave, rushing from Liangzhou to Luoyang to help, more than a thousand miles, can be well kept secret, this is not simple, and in the process of fighting, the momentum shown by the iron-blooded army is indomitable, a certain has followed the general to fight for so many years, has never felt such an atmosphere, a certain dare not completely assert, but I believe that Li Rupei far exceeds Zhang Luan and Cao Quanyang and others, so I want to remind the general, you must pay attention."

Shang Rang knew that he would not be able to see Huang Chao for the time being, so he informed Zhu Wen of these words, hoping that Zhu Wen would inform the general, although he was unwilling to say these words to Zhu Wen.

"General Shang, the big war is imminent, don't do it well to destroy your own prestige with the ambition of others, the general is not in a very good mood, if you talk about the bravery of the iron-blooded army at this time, I am afraid it will anger the general even more."

Shang Rang was a little desperate, according to his understanding of Huang Chao, when it came to the bravery of the Iron Blood Army at this time, it would definitely be difficult for Huang Chao to accept, but not to mention such a suggestion, if Huang Chao led the army and also suffered defeat, then the life and death of the army was the biggest problem in front of him.

Shang let think a lot, it should be said that at the beginning of the year, the army was defeated one after another, after taking the strategy of fake surrender, let Gao Yu be fooled, the army got a chance to breathe, at that time began to grow slowly, maybe it was many years of fighting, accumulated enough experience, and began to burst out this year, and then the army killed the sworn enemy Zhang Lan and Cao Quanxi and others, unprecedented growth, plus took the right measures, all the way to Kaifeng, the formation of a siege to the eastern capital of Luoyang.

If it can be smooth sailing, it is the best, but at present, it has encountered ups and downs, then special attention is needed, in the face of the iron-blooded army, the army lost more than 60,000 sergeants, and also lost Huang Yu and Zhao Zhang, people with a little brains have to think seriously, if the iron-blooded army is really so unbearable, how can it be possible to achieve such a brilliant victory.

These are the things that Shang Rang thinks about on the way to escape.

"General Zhu, when he said this, he was not to clear his own responsibility, nor was it to destroy his prestige for the sake of others, he was really thinking about the general and the army, the iron-blooded army was able to rush thousands of miles, rush to Luoyang, and launch a surprise attack at the same time, that is, he thought of the many problems that he might face, in this case, he suggested that the general should fight steadily and steadily, and there was no need to worry, after all, the army had the advantage of numbers."

"Does General Shang know the number of the Predators?"

"It's not particularly clear, but there is a rough estimate that the Iron Blood Army's attack on the camp late at night must be overwhelming, and judging from the scale of the battle, the total number of the Iron Blood Army does not exceed 30,000."

After Shang Rang said this, he found that Zhu Wen's expression became serious, but his face was not very good.

"General Shang, don't estimate at will, the vanguard led by General Shang has 50,000 sergeants, and the sergeants who have just been counted and returned to the army are only more than 6,000 people, can it be said that the iron-blooded army is less than 30,000 people, and in just one night, it can kill more than 40,000 sergeants, this kind of combat effectiveness is too terrifying."

Shang Rang lowered his head, the negligence of him and Zhao Zhang was the fundamental reason for the heavy losses of the vanguard troops, when facing Huang Chao before, he didn't dare to say it, to avoid further stimulation of Huang Chao, at this time, he had to say it, otherwise Huang Chao would know about this matter sooner or later.

"The vanguard suffered heavy losses, and a certain has an unshirkable responsibility, because Liu Yunzhang decided to open the city gate and surrender, and a certain wanted to celebrate in the army, so in the evening, the officers were called to drink to celebrate, and the officers drank a lot that night, and most of the sergeants also drank, and I didn't think that the Iron Blood Army took advantage of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack......"

A hint of coldness flashed in Zhu Wen's eyes, which quickly disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face.

"General Shang doesn't have to blame himself so much, this celebration should have been, then Liu Yunzhang stayed in the eastern capital and prepared to open the city gate to surrender, and when he met such a happy matter, General Shang decided to celebrate, that is also as it should be, okay, General Shang's worries are all known, and he will go to report to the general in detail, and General Shang will be at ease."

After saying these words and greeting almost words, Zhu Wen took his leave.

Looking at the back of Zhu Wen leaving, Shang Rang breathed a sigh of relief, he said everything that should be said, as for what kind of punishment he might suffer, he didn't care, as long as it was for the sake of the general and the army, he didn't care.

The two pro-soldiers beside him, looking at Shang Rang's appearance, one of the pro-soldiers couldn't help but think about opening his mouth, but was stopped by the other pro-soldier with his eyes, Shang Rang, who had been bowing his head and contemplating, did not notice the movements of the two pro-soldiers.

After raising his head, Shang Rang spoke to the two pro-soldiers.

"A certain has followed the general to fight for so many years, and has suffered several defeats, but this time it is the most impressive, a certain is really worried about the general, worried about the army, the combat effectiveness of the iron-blooded army is indeed not ordinary......"

After Shang Rang finished speaking, one of the pro-soldiers spoke.

"General Shang just said, his subordinates heard it, but in General Shang's words, there is an obvious loophole, his subordinates remember that General Shang said, the officers and sergeants have drunk, so that they encountered the surprise attack of the Iron Army, and the combat effectiveness after drinking must have been affected, and the successful sneak attack by the Iron Blood Army was expected, but with the victory obtained by the Iron Blood Army's sneak attack, General Shang said that the Iron Blood Army is extremely brave, which seems to be very contradictory......"

Before the words of the pro-soldier were finished, Shang Rang's face turned pale, he was indeed negligent, why didn't he think of such a simple reason, if Zhu Wen reported his original words to Huang Chao, what kind of situation would it be.

The resourceful Shang Rang suddenly thought of Zhu Wen's last smile, he and Zhu Wen have been under the command of Huang Chao for so many years, and he has never seen Zhu Wen show such a friendly smile, according to Zhu Wen's ability, he can completely hear the meaning of his words, and he can completely open his mouth to remind him, but why didn't Zhu Wen say it.

Shang Rang felt a chill in his body, and this time he might have actually fallen into the ice cellar.
