Chapter 70: A Vignette in the Right Barracks
After a while, Xiaojian led the horse, Huang Xu and Xiaojian helped Zhao Xiaofeng on the horse, and then, Xiaojian led the horse, Huang Xu supported him in the back, and the group slowly walked into the right army camp.
In the Chinese military tent of the right army camp, everyone sat down as guests and hosts, and Bao Ping'an had already notified someone to invite Cui Min to come over for a while.
"General Bao, how is the battle going here?" Zhao Xiaofeng asked with concern.
"Sir, it's not a secret, it's more troublesome, so the terrain is rugged, not conducive to cavalry combat, we can only rely on our infantry, so that the pressure on our right army battalion has increased sharply, although, the wing king is resourceful, always anticipating the enemy's opportunity, so that we can take the initiative in the battle with the Qing army, but this cold weapon engagement, often short-handed, although the battle can be won, but their own losses will not be less, so, now the right army battalion is seriously attritional, the situation is very bad." Bao Ping'an is a little sad and authentic.
A commander can win battles, not only because he has military talent and leadership talent, but more importantly, he can sympathize with his soldiers.
"Has General Bao discussed this matter with Lord Yi?" Zhao Xiaofeng asked again.
"I mentioned it, but the Wing Prince doesn't have many useful methods, he can only report to the imperial court and arrange for the replenishment of troops as soon as possible, the war is cruel." No one is helpless about this matter.
"Why haven't you ever mentioned this to our prince?" This is what Zhao Xiaofeng is most concerned about.
"The prince is busy, besides, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and I can't tell the prince one by one, and the Wing King is also on the front line, he is the commander of the entire army, we are the Wing King's order, and we bravely kill the enemy, this should not be wrong, and the soldier's duty is to kill the enemy in the field, and the horse leather shroud, so I didn't mention it to the prince." Keep the peace of the road.
"You are really confused, such an important matter, why don't you report it to the prince, the situation on this battlefield is already extremely unfavorable to you, you should explain the situation here to the prince as soon as possible, so as to make plans as soon as possible." Zhao Xiaofeng said in a slightly reproachful tone.
"I understand, but, if I tell the prince about this, the prince will definitely try his best to let me withdraw the army, and if I withdraw this time, then the battlefield advantage we have now will no longer exist, as far as the geographical location here is concerned, the cavalry is just a decoration, it can't play a role, just with the little men and horses in the hands of the Wing King, if you want to compete with the 800,000 Qing troops gathered on the opposite side, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg." Keep peace and worry about the authentic way.
"I said you are confused, you are not confused, you still understand the current situation, but I said you understand, you are still deceiving yourself and pretending to be confused, do you want to pay your 250,000 horses here?" Zhao Xiaofeng hated iron a little.
"This is not necessarily, we have fought several battles with the Qing army, we have always had the upper hand, although this battlefield situation is unfavorable to us, but it is even more unfavorable to the Qing army, so, as long as we hold on, then Zuihou victory must belong to us." Keeping peace is about facts.
"You're determined to stay here to the end." Zhao Xiaofeng's tone began to become a little stern.
"I understand Mr. Zhao's good intentions, but the duty of a soldier is to protect the family and defend the country, and I can't give up my responsibility for my own selfishness, so please Mr. can understand the distress of peace." It seems that the peace has been decided.
"Are you willing to be Shi Dakai's pawn?" Zhao Xiaofeng said very angrily.
"Sir's words are wrong, I am not doing this for the Wing King, I am for the people of the entire kingdom of heaven, if we don't care about it, just leave, the situation on this battlefield will take a sharp turn, without the support of our way, the entire Anqing front line will be open to the right door, if the Qing army is flanked on both sides, then the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops will be in danger, even the Anqing Mansion is also in danger, if there is something in the Anqing Mansion, Tianjing will lose its natural barrier, and we will really become sinners through the ages." Keep the peace of the road.
"Saying so much, I hear it, you just want to work with Shi Dakai to the end." Zhao Xiaofeng doesn't know what's going on today, he has always been very calm.
"If you want to say that, sir, I don't want to say anything more, I have a clear conscience." Bao Ping was also angry.
"General Bao, is this how you repay the prince?" Zhao Xiaofeng's words became more and more harsh.
"The prince has always been wise, and I believe that if the prince knows about the things here, he will definitely understand the hardships of peace." To keep peace is to show no weakness.
"You, you, it's really the opposite." Zhao Xiaofeng is really a little unscrupulous, can you say this kind of thing casually, where is his usual cleverness.
Huang Xu saw that the momentum was not right, and it was very dangerous for the two to go-for-tat, and just as he wanted to make a voice to ease the atmosphere, he heard the soldier at the door shouting: "General Cui said." ”
Then, the tent door opened, and a young general walked in, undoubtedly he was Cui Min, the deputy general of the Right Army.
Yesterday, when he heard Zhao Xiaofeng mention Cui Min, Huang Xu also specially asked what two words Cui Min was, until it was confirmed that it was really Cui Min, Huang Xu also joked that there was a woman's name in the army.
But when Huang Xu sees Cui Min himself now, he sighs a little, fuck, this Cui Min is really a bit worthy of the name, not a little rough and arrogant like an ordinary general, but he has three points of femininity, it is a delicate air, it is not an exaggeration to say that he looks better than Pan An, he is the most beautiful "man" Huang Xu has ever seen in his life.
As soon as Cui Min came in, he felt that the atmosphere here was not right.
"Big brother, Mr. Zhao, what's wrong with you." Cui Min asked directly, he didn't expect such a delicate man to speak with a lot of energy, obviously, he and Zhao Xiaofeng are also old acquaintances.
Both twisted their heads to the side and did not speak.
"They're vomiting here, so persuade them." Huang Xu spoke out on the side.
I heard that there is another person who came with Mr. Zhao, and it must be Your Excellency. Cui Min said.
"Yes, it's me, my name is Huang Xu, the new housekeeper of the East Palace." Huang Xu smiled.
"Fortunately, fortunately." Cui Min clasped his fists and saluted.
"Hello, General Cui." Huang Xu also returned the salute.
"Brother Huang just said that Mr. Zhao and his eldest brother are vomiting, what's going on?" Cui Min asked.
Huang Xu carefully told Cui Min everything that had just happened.
After Cui Min heard this, he probably knew what was going on.
"Big brother, I'm going to talk about you now, Mr. Zhao has good intentions, and he is also thinking about the brothers, so you don't need to be so angry, you think about it calmly, maybe you will feel that what Mr. Zhao said is not unreasonable." Cui Min first persuaded him to keep safe.
"Hmph." Bao Ping'an didn't speak, just snorted heavily.
Seeing this, Cui Min smiled slightly, then turned to Zhao Xiaofeng and said, "Mr. Zhao, what the eldest brother said just now is a bit excessive, but he also considers the overall situation, as soldiers, we are all for the kingdom of heaven, so I hope Mr. can be more considerate." ”
"General Cui is a reasonable person, I can understand." Zhao Xiaofeng began to calm down, and he felt that he was a little too hasty just now.
"Then you're saying I don't understand things." Bao Ping'an suddenly interjected, the provocation was obvious, obviously he couldn't let go of Zhao Xiaofeng's words just now.
"General, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now, if there is something to offend, please don't blame the general." Zhao Xiaofeng is on a special mission this time, and he can't spoil the big things of the East King because of his will.
"Hmph." This general's anger is great.
"Okay, big brother, since Mr. Zhao has apologized to you, don't be angry, Mr. Zhao, today is the first time you come to us, the military camp is simple, we have nothing to entertain, I would like to take this glass of wine, talk about the heart, at the same time, I also borrow this glass of wine to wish the prince a good health, all wishes come true, I will do it first as a respect." After Cui Min finished speaking, he tilted his neck and poured a glass of wine into his stomach.
A general like a woman, she doesn't drag her feet at all in doing things.
Seeing this, everyone was embarrassed to make any more trouble, so they all picked up the wine glasses in front of them and drank all the wine in the glasses. Especially Zhao Xiaofeng, when he picked up the wine glass, he also deliberately smiled at Bao Ping'an and raised his glass to apologize.
It's all come to this point, most of the peace and security anger has disappeared, and his face has improved slightly, and he began to talk to Zhao Xiaofeng and Huang Xu without a word, but the topic of conversation tried to avoid the focus of everyone's argument just now.
Cui Min is also a very talkative person, but he can't judge what he really thinks in his heart.
This trip, everyone can also say that from the beginning of the noisy to the happy dispersion of zuihou, it can be regarded as a good ending.
Huang Xu felt that this right army camp was not monolithic, and the attitude of keeping peace seemed to be far from Dongwang's thoughts, while Cui Min had a vague attitude, and it was really difficult to draw any conclusions for a while.
Moreover, looking back and thinking about it, I can't guarantee it, today's scene was discussed by Bao Ping'an and Zhao Xiaofeng in advance, and they were going to show it to the discerning people, who really knew what kind of medicine they were selling in the gourd.
Fans, still fans, there are too many things to investigate and understand, and besides, this is only a battalion of the right army, and what about the battalion of the left army? What about the reserve battalion? Who can guarantee that there is nothing hidden behind this?
