Zhong Tianlang felt very good about himself and led the army back to the south, and after he left, Zheng Fan asked Liang Cheng to lead five hundred cavalry to chase after him.

Liang Cheng knew it in his heart, and he didn't rush in, because he still had to prevent the silver-armored general from killing the horse pistol, anyway, he was riding in front and Liang Cheng was escorting in the back, giving a little pressure.

This scene is very similar to when Zheng Fan led the army back from Qianguo a while ago, the cavalry of Qianguo was escorted by him.

There is a rule in the art of war called "Don't hide when you return to the teacher, don't chase after the poor".

This is the situation that is being talked about, the other party is determined to go home, you go to stop it, the other party will definitely fight with you, whether you can intercept the other party will not say anything, the loss on your side will definitely be great.

In fact, this so-called pursuit, that is, for the subsequent "accountability", has an excuse to justify itself.

Probably, only Zheng Fan can use Liang Cheng to do this kind of thing.

When the sky was white, Liang Cheng led the army back, and as many people went out, as many people came back, and no one was missing.

Zheng Fan hurried to wash and sleep, and the cold wind blew on the city wall in the middle of the night, and he really couldn't stand it.

When I woke up, it was already noon.

Zheng Fan can sleep, but others can't, and after Liang Cheng came back in the morning, he changed to another team of five hundred people and rode out.

This time, naturally, it was not to chase the enemy, but to clean up the battlefield.

Yes, after the Qianguo people finished the battle, Cuiliu Fort came to take charge of the cleaning of the battlefield.

When Zheng Fan washed up and ate and came out, he had already found that hundreds of soldiers were already sitting there eating lunch in the field outside.

The appearance of these rout soldiers is not very good, and there is a look of panic on their faces, but one by one they should be hungry and devouring them there.

Zheng Fan walked up to the wall buttress and asked the blind man who didn't use a wheelchair and used crutches.

"How many people have been gathered?"

"In his early 300s."

"Not bad."

"Well, it's not bad."

Last night, the Qiancai picked out a small fort, plus four military villages, and the Yan army suffered many casualties, of course, many of them were able to escape from the camp.

After all, it was a raid at night, and it was impossible to do it without the slightest leakage.

"These people, since we have accepted them, it is impossible to spit them out again."

Zheng Shoubei gave the guiding thoughts.

In fact, don't look at Zheng Fan's military exploits on Dayan's side, and I don't know that there is still a prince's head waiting to be signed on the way;

But strictly calculated, what Zheng Shoubei did was not only not departing from the warlord style, but even more like a warlord than a warlord.

Before the real tough battle, retreat, and bring disaster to the east, and wait for the post-war to quickly react and absorb strength.

Actually, Zheng Fan can't be blamed for being too dark, but this world, when Zheng Fan was a civil servant for the first time, he taught Zheng Fan this truth.

People whose hearts are not black enough, or who still have naivety in their hearts, don't know how tall the grave grass is.

Zheng Fan didn't think about whether he could stand on the cusp of a so-called righteousness and shout "fight to the death".

But it's just a thought.,After all, this is a new world.,It's not the history I'm familiar with.,If it's a traditional sense of crossing.,As a time-traveler.,Maybe you really have that feeling.。

"Lord, these subordinates plan to classify them as the lowest rank, and then promote them when they have military merits in the future."

"yes, agreed."

Defeated pawns, naturally there must be a defeated pawn, it is enough to take you in to protect you from punishment, and the rest of the status or something, don't talk about it yet.

At this moment, a messenger came and conveyed the military order, saying that Xu Wenzu was nearby and asked Zheng Shoubei to go and see him.

Zheng Shoubei didn't hesitate, changed into armor and went out with Ah Ming.

Xu Wenzu's position is not far from Cuiliu Fort, and at this time, his fat body is sitting in the center of a military village, which is already in ruins.

Beside Xu Wenzu, there were hundreds of guards from Nanwangcheng, as well as five other chief officers who had seen in the signing room yesterday.

After Zheng Fan came, he just stood behind and didn't say anything.

Xu Wenzu sat there like a mountain of meat, and the suppressed emotions emanating from his body could indeed be presented in the form of official authority.

Big guy, he stood like this for a long time, and finally, Xu Wenzu raised his head, and between his narrow eyes, there was a stream of fine light.

He spread his hands out,

Road:

"Everyone's got to know it, this official called everyone over, not to hold everyone accountable, because this face has been lost, and accountability or not accountability is actually meaningless.

This time, he was knocked on the door by the cadres, and he was left by the cadres in a dignified manner.

Your Lord, you, you, all of you here,

One by one, they can't run away,

It's not a pity to die! ”

Xu Wenzu didn't shirk any responsibility, nor did he find any reason, in fact, the matter was almost a day over, but there was still no news from the Jingnan Army camp.

Hou Ye must have known what happened last night, but Hou Ye still didn't say anything.

This kind of silence is strange, but it is often the most terrifying.

"The official position or something, the official cares a lot, the life of the family, the foundation of the body, the official also cares very much, I believe you also care about it."

Xu Wenzu said as his gaze swept over everyone present,

"Say something that is not afraid of taboos, hundreds of years of gate valves, if you say no, it will be gone, what is our net worth, this status?

Right now, the national war is imminent, are you and I, all you want, really just a little bit of military power in your hands?

This is a national war, this is a national war!

I waited for this opportunity again in a hundred years, and the history of the youth is in front of us, and it is possible that we will have the opportunity to leave a name in the history!

Don't hide it from everyone, on the side of the Marquis of Jingnan, the official sent someone to the camp in the morning to deliver the excerpts, but on the Hou Ye's side, there was not a word.

Yesterday in the signing room, you and I both said that Dayan is the Jingnan Army and the Zhenbei Army, there are too few, and we have to launch a strong army.

Okay, as soon as the words were finished, I was slapped that night.

Lao Tzu was born in the north, and in the north, there is only one truth, that is, how many people do you barbarians dare to come to the boundary of our Yan country to kill, and the Zhenbei army will go to the desert to kill double! ”

Saying,

Xu Wenzu took a deep breath,

Yell:

"On weekdays, we fight in our nests, but this time, it's not as simple as fighting in the nest, tomorrow, all families and departments, don't hide them, and transfer out the most capable troops under your command!

Assemble here, reorganize the army here, let's kill the Qianguo together, the Qianren killed one of us last night, and we will slaughter two of them tomorrow.

If you don't kill enough, you won't go back to camp!

Lao Tzu's soldiers were the first to attack the city and the first to pull out the village!

Military merits, you take them first, and the ordnance, men and horses that were damaged after the war, Lao Tzu will make up for you first!

Lao Tzu just wanted to ask,

It's all fucking gentlemen with Luan,

Do you dare to go together tomorrow to fight for this breath back! ”

Xu Wenzu shouted excitedly, his face was already red, and he was still steaming.

The five chief officers present knelt down on one knee together,

Clenched his fists and said in a deep voice:

"The last general commands!"

Everyone is at the same level, and Xu Wenzu is also the chief soldier, but because the errand is different, Xu Wenzu can press them half a head on weekdays, but at this moment, these five chief military officers regard Xu Wenzu as their superior, and they consider themselves inferior.

It's not that Xu Wenzu's words just now are so incendiary,

They are all adults, and they are still old kings who have been fighting in the army, and they are not young people who can be instigated by a few slogans.

The reason for this, firstly, was last night's incident, which made Dayan have a big face, and he actually let the cadres kill in and out.

Second, they themselves know in their hearts that at the moment, they really need a leader to lead everyone to gather their strength together and come back from a turnaround battle first.

Since Xu Wenzu is willing to say this, it proves that he has already taken out this attitude, and besides, being able to rush here from his own village at Xu Wenzu's order is itself a little bit of a sensibility to this side, and it can be regarded as a preliminary screening.

Zheng Fan and other garrisons and captains also knelt on one knee and promised in unison.

"Let's not do anything about the blood alliance, we are the Great Yan Army, not copycat bandits, I hope everyone has not forgotten, I am a Yan person!

Okay, let's go back and prepare, tomorrow, we will gather our troops here and start pulling! ”

The generals departed.

Zheng Fan stayed.

Xu Wenzu's eyes motioned for Zheng Fan to follow him into a half-collapsed tent, and outside, there were soldiers guarding him, and it was impossible for others to approach.

"Whew...... I'm so angry! ”

After entering the tent, Xu Wenzu also sat on the ground scolding.

Zheng Fan also sat on the ground with him.

This time, Zheng Fan was not as natural and enthusiastic as when he faced Xu Wenzu before.

"It's so close to your Willow Castle, you didn't hear anything from last night?"

Xu Wenzu began to ask.

Zheng Fan smiled bitterly: "In the entire border fortress, I lit a beacon fire in Cuiliu Fort last night. ”

Xu Wenzu was choked.

Don't look at the Dayan border, there are a lot of soldiers, but the chaos of the system here, he Xu Wenzu is also clear.

First, this is the pot of the predecessor Xiao Dahai, and even the pot of the former fortress system is slack, and secondly, it is the court that has stuffed many chief military officers over this time, so many people and horses come, and Jingnanhou is not responsible for combing, everyone is like a headless fly, and there is no person in charge, so it is a strange thing to be able to be orderly.

"Ugh." Xu Wenzu sighed, looked at Zheng Fan's gaze, and softened a lot.

In fact, Zheng Fan also knows in his heart, don't look at how Xu Wenzu said to himself in Hutou City that he was going to dedicate the city to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, in fact, Xu Wenzu is different from himself.

Xu Wenzu is an authentic Yan man, and now the Marquis of Zhenbei is obviously standing with Yanhuang and preparing to go south, and he will eat ugly here to preserve his strength to avoid the war, and throw it to Xu Wenzu, he dares to turn his face and deny people.

Some of last night's arrangements and decoration methods, to put it bluntly, were actually performances for Xu Wenzu, Xu Fatpang is now his first backer, and he is also in charge of so many materials in Nanwangcheng, so he naturally has to be coaxed.

"My lord, I sent troops to chase after that dry cavalry last night, but I couldn't catch up, the other side has many people and horses, and I am afraid of being ambushed."

In this sentence, there is a half-truth.

Xu Wenzu nodded, signaling that he knew, but his expression was a little light.

Obviously, Xu Wenzu guessed something, and deliberately passed on this emotion to Zheng Fan.

He suspected Zheng Fan of avoiding the war, and he was still warning Zheng Fan in this way.

Xu Wenzu has been a civil official, a military attaché, and has also eaten sand in the north, how can he not know the Tao here?

If you don't chase and take down some enemy corpses and come back, what is it called pursuit?

Zheng Fan smiled bitterly again:

"My lord, the target of that cadre is his subordinates."

Xu Wenzu was stunned, and he didn't care about what kind of expression information was transmitted, turned his head to look at Zheng Fan, and asked:

"How did you find out?"

"Last night, the main cavalry general came to the outside of my Cuiliu Fort, holding a human head, saying that he had killed Zheng Fan, the garrison of Cuiliu Fort, and also destroyed Cuiliu Fort, so that we washed our heads and waited for him to take it later."

"............" Xu Wenzu.

Xu Wenzu's face turned a little blue, and he looked like he wanted to laugh but had to endure it.

Laughing at this time is equivalent to a complete failure, but damn it, this thing is really funny, hahahaha!

"The subordinates couldn't see clearly whose head it was, but thinking about it, the cadre general should have recognized the wrong person and hit the wrong place. Therefore, when the other party left, the subordinates led the army to pursue a little too cautiously, because the subordinates knew that the other party's target was the subordinates, which was Cuiliu Fort.

Subordinates can be defeated, or they can lose their troops, to put it mildly, if you can keep that cadre cavalry, even if you fight out the subordinate Cuiliu Fort, your subordinates will not frown!

However, when the two countries are at war, what they pay attention to is a competition of momentum.

The subordinates have joined the cadres several times, and they have achieved good military exploits, and the names of my subordinates have long been on the desks of those generals in the Qianguo country, and they are eager to kill their subordinates one by one.

The defeat of the subordinates can be defeated, but in case the Cuiliu Fort is gone, or the subordinates are killed, they will really be carried to the head.

The impact of this is much greater than the gains and losses of a subordinate person and a fortress. ”

"Alas!"

Xu Wenzu lowered his head, and finally suppressed the smile, he reached out and patted Zheng Fan's shoulder,

Road:

"That's true, last night, you must not have an accident, if something happens, this time the face of our Yan Kingdom will be too big, and the most important thing is that if you really let that cadre take your head back, the morale of the cadres will definitely rise."

I estimate that the general probably beat Xinghua Village as Cuiliu Fort, because the scale of several other forts is too small, and there are more soldiers and horses in Xinghua Village. ”

Zheng Fan was a little shocked and said:

"Isn't that the head that the cadre general held with a spear last night is General Deng?"

Xu Wenzu nodded and said:

"Eight or nine is not far from ten."

Zheng Fan sighed, there was not the slightest schadenfreude on his face, only a faint sadness.

Although there are contradictions, after all, they are all Yan people, they are all Yan soldiers, and they are all robes, alas......

At this level, it can't be too much, it's a bit fake after that, fortunately, Zheng Fan's acting skills have been greatly improved in this world, and Xu Wenzu is the first opponent to play with him, and he is also very skilled.

Xu Wenzu pursed his lips,

Seeing Zheng Fan's expression,

Relieved Zheng Fan said:

"Don't think about these things anymore, the cadres go north, who is not fighting, they are all Yan Army, and there is no such thing as hitting the wrong one, last night, what made me a little relieved was that one general and four garrisons were all killed in battle, and none of them survived."

Zheng Fan clenched his fists,

Road:

"They are all my Dayan's...... What a son! ”

"Well, by the way, you can let the fifteen hundred barbarians go to me to take them away later, and I have all the war horses and armor for them, so hurry up.

This time, several generals have lost their men, especially the Yang commander, Deng Ziliang is under his command, this time Xinghuazhai was wiped out, and he suffered the greatest loss.

I'm afraid they're going to fight that brute again, so you should take it back and eat it as soon as possible."

And today's matter, don't talk about it anymore, what the dry people say is up to them, let's not talk about it anymore. ”

"My subordinates understand."

"Well, the soldiers gave it to you, the war horse ordnance, I also gave it to you, you just heard it, I made a military order in front of the five general soldiers.

Ming'er, you have to give me the strength to die and help me earn this face! ”

"Dare not to die!"

"Die, don't die, but Ming'er, don't hide it, I know, your command can really fight, just give Lao Tzu a good fight."

Tomorrow, if you sing this scene, I will be able to win over these five general soldiers under my hands. ”

That's it.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, Xu Wenzu has already said it thoroughly.

I'll give you Zheng Fanbing, give you armor, and support you like this, but I want you to help me come forward and fight!

Just like Xiao Liuzi, he funded Zheng Fan, thinking that Zheng Fan could rise in the army, and in the future, when he was competing for a big position or saving his life, he could have a military assistance.

In this world, there has never been a pie in the sky.

At the same time, Xu Wenzu also wanted to use this matter to bind the five general soldiers to his chariot, which involved political considerations.

"Don't worry, my lord, Cuiliu Castle will not disappoint my lord tomorrow!"

"Well, okay, you can go back and get ready, I have to go back and pack up."

Zheng Fan helped Xu Wenzu get up,

After Xu Wenzu stood up, his hand was still holding Zheng Fan's wrist,

Meaningful:

"Yesterday, I have already reported your military merits."

"Thank you, sir."

"Don't thank me, this is all earned by yourself, and I want to say one more thing, in this life, you have to grasp something.

It's like the paper kite, you have to have the wind to put it up, you have the ability, and you have always been able to get the appreciation of the big people above, this is your blessing, but don't be complacent. ”

Zheng Fan frowned slightly, pondering the deep meaning of Xu Wenzu's words.

Xu Wenzu patted the back of Zheng Fan's hand again,

Road:

"This wind, it's going to get up, you have to catch it, if you catch it........."

"Caught it, how?"

Xu Wenzu stretched out his hand to lift the tent, bent down and walked out,

Looking up at the clear blue sky,

Road:

"It's heavenly."
