Chapter 081: Trapped in the Enemy Camp (1st Shift)

In the manager's tent, a British official in armor sat on the throne, his eyebrows solemn.

Zhang Chao stood on the side of the desk, his hand pressed tightly on the handle of the knife.

On both sides in turn are Zhang Chi and several lieutenants.

Everyone held their breath, their faces mixed with anger and worry.

There was silence in the tent, except for the howling north wind outside the tent.

After a long time, the British publicly broke Cen Silence: "Captain Zhongxian Zhang Lan rashly advanced, so that he was captured." With this threat, the Crimean gathered heavy troops on the border in an attempt to force our army to retreat. How do you think we should break the game? ”

Zhang Chao hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Father......"

As soon as he said two words, he was coldly glanced at by the British public, and Zhang Chao hurriedly changed his words: "Boss, my subordinates think that Captain Zhang's defeat and fall this time may not be because of rash advances. After all, when the ambush was set up, no one expected that the Crimean would abandon its own territory in the south and choose to break through from the north where the eldest and second princes were stationed.

Therefore, there were not many soldiers led by Captain Zhang, who was in ambush in the north, and when he encountered the Crimean army, the disparity in strength between the two sides was huge, and Captain Zhang was defeated and captured, which was also a last resort. Please also ask the coach to be clear. ”

The rest of the people also echoed and pleaded for Zhang Lan.

The eldest prince and the second prince were expelled by the Crimean to the northern border of the Gaochang Kingdom, and they hated them to the core, and if the Crimean broke through from the north and entered the territory of the two princes, they would definitely suffer from their retaliation.

As long as the Crimean is not stupid, he will not act like this.

But no one thought that Crimea would choose to break through in the north.

The British Duke raised his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said: "Even so, when he found out that the situation was not good for the Crimean army, why didn't he try to escape, but fought recklessly, so that the army was defeated and captured, and became a hostage for the Crimean to blackmail Daqi to retreat?" ”

This is where he gets angry.

It's not the first time Zhang Lan has led his troops into battle, and he knows the situation of this deployment even more, how can he make such a low-level mistake?!

Zhang Chi, who was standing at the end of the queue, clenched his fists and remembered Zhang Lan's ambitious words before departure:

"In this battle, I must capture a few Gaochang soldiers, ask about the planting of long-staple cotton, and answer her when I return to Beijing!"

Could it be that it is precisely for this reason that Brother Lan ignored the disparity between the enemy and our forces, blindly pursued recklessly, and was captured?

As soon as this idea came up, it was immediately rejected by Zhang Chi.

No, Brother Lan is not the kind of reckless man who is angry and angry, and he will never do this!

So, how to explain Brother Lan's mistake and being captured this time?

……

In the tent of the Gaochang military camp, Zhang Lan's hands and feet were tied, and he sat silently with his eyes closed.

Wang Zhong, who was also bound by his hands and feet on the side, said guiltily: "It's all because the last general was reckless and recklessly chased the enemy, so that General Zhang Xiao was captured by the enemy, and the last general could not atone for his sins!" ”

Zhang Lan opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Captain Wang is dedicated to the king's affairs, and there is nothing wrong with it. No one expected that the Crimean would break through from the north. There is a huge disparity between the strength of the enemy and us, and it is also helpless for us to be defeated and captured.

"Captain Wang doesn't have to blame himself so much."

"But, however, Crimea is now using General Zhang Xiao to threaten the British Ministry to back down......"

Zhang Lan interrupted Captain Wang's words and said coldly: "Father will not retire because of me." If I don't have a good plan to get out, I will die for the country, and I will never embarrass my father and the soldiers! ”

When Wang Zhong heard this, a heroic spirit suddenly appeared in his heart, and he raised his head and said: "If it reaches that point, the last general is willing to die with General Zhang Xiao and die without regrets!" ”

The rest of the captured soldiers were stunned when they heard this, and said in unison: "We are willing to follow General Zhang Xiao and die for the country, and we will never regret it!" ”

Zhang Lan looked at these soldiers in front of him who put death and life aside, his eyes were red, he nodded heavily, and said loudly: "Die for the country, and never regret it!" ”

It's just that the girl who is still waiting for him to go back to the capital to get married, he will let her down......

……

When Huang Yi'an learned that the Crimea had gathered heavy troops on the border and was ready to go to war at any time, he was very uneasy.

After a hard day at home, the next day, Huang Yi'an took a car to the British Mansion.

When the British duchess learned of her intention, her eyes immediately turned red.

Huang Yixin was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "But what happened to Grandpa Guo and several sons?" ”

The British duchess thought about it, didn't hide it from her, nodded, and said, "It's Brother Lan, he, he was caught by the people of Crimea......"

Halfway through his words, he choked up and couldn't speak.

Huang Yixin tightened his heart, and his hands resting on his lap were clasped tightly together.

After a long time, Huang Yi'an found his voice and asked in a low voice: "Kerimu dares to shout like this, is it because he took the fourth young master as a hostage?" ”

The British duchess imprinted her eyes with a handkerchief and sighed in a low voice: "You are a smart child, and I will not hide it from you." Although this matter was not reported to the imperial court, it was only said that Crimea successfully broke through the siege and captured many Great Qi soldiers, so he used this to threaten Chen Chongbing to force Great Qi to retreat, but you are not an outsider, and you almost made a marriage with Brother Lan......"

"Madame, don't worry." Huang Yi'an "rudely" interrupted the British Duchess's words, and said with a serious face, "As long as the fourth young master doesn't return for a day, I will wait for him for a day!" ”

The British duchess didn't expect Huang Yi'an to say this, and after being stunned, she took Huang Yi'an's hand with emotion, and choked up: "Good boy, I know that you are a loving and righteous ...... However, I can't promise you this! ”

Huang Yi'an looked up in amazement and asked, "Why?" ”

Does the British duchess think that Zhang Lan can't come back?

The British Duchess sighed: "Brother Lan is in the hands of Krimu, and he is a hostage used to blackmail the grandfather of the country. But Grandpa Guo has never been a person who abolishes his public for personal gain, and Brother Lan is not a poor breed who steals his life.

"So, if Brother Lan can't get out of danger before the two sides exchange troops, I'm just afraid of ......"

The British duchess couldn't say anything, so she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Huang Yi'an sat on the chair in a daze.

What the British Duchess means is that Zhang Lan is likely to be martyred?

Is such a sincere, hearty, and energetic young man going to die early in this life?

Will the heroic and mighty General Mingwei in her previous life die in the enemy camp at a young age because of her accidental rebirth?

Huang Yi was at a loss in annoyance......

……

In the Qianqing Palace, Empress Dowager Li looked at Qi Yu, who was depressed and sad, and finally couldn't bear it in her heart, and stopped admonishing her for two consecutive days.

"Let's have a bowl of soup first." Empress Dowager Li pushed the soup bowl over and sighed, "It's a big matter, Your Majesty has to take care of your body first." ”

Qi Yu smiled reluctantly: "Queen Mother, the child is not hungry......"

"You have to eat even if you're not hungry!" Empress Dowager Li admonished, "If you don't eat, how can you have the strength to think about how to solve the border matter now?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at it and said, "Yuanfu will be here soon, if Your Majesty doesn't understand anything, you can ask him when the time comes." ”

It was originally a comforting word, but when it came to Qi Yu's ears, it became a warning for life.

That's right, he has to cheer up, otherwise how can he deal with Zhang Shoufu's reprimand?

Zhang Shoufu is not like the queen mother, who is willing to feel sorry for his difficulties and pain.

In Zhang Shoufu's eyes, there will always be only gains and losses in the government, and even he, the emperor, is probably just a tool to deal with the government. Who sits on this guy is no different for Zhang Guilai.

Qi Yu took the soup bowl and ate it in a big gulp.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Li nodded with satisfaction.

After a short time, Jang Gyu asked to see him outside the palace.

Qi Yu immediately straightened his body.

Empress Dowager Li glanced at him and said, "Xuan." ”

As long as His Majesty is willing to listen to Zhang Shoufu's words, the court will soon calm down, and the border matter will be resolved as soon as possible.
