Chapter 18: The Tricky Plan That Almost Messed Up
readx;
The next day the Imperial army marched out of camp as usual, and nothing happened in the morning, neither a messenger to ask for help, nor a messenger to deliver good news, and it was very uneventful, which made Logan all kinds of rejoicing, for he had already won half of the victory.

It's just that Buchen is indifferent to this, and he still looks calm, which makes Logan very depressed, and scolds the other party for pretending in his heart......
But what Logan didn't know was that Buchen's appearance was really not pretending, he was really not in a hurry, you must know that a day can be long, and before the time reaches twelve o'clock at night, it is considered today! Logan thought that if no messenger came in the morning, even if he won half of the victory, this was too naΓ―ve!
He had a hasty lunch on horseback, and went on his way with the army, but a frustrating situation occurred, and in the afternoon there was still no messenger until the camp was set up to rest.
After eating, Logan came to Buchen again and looked at him with a wink.
Buchen glanced at Logan: "What time is this?" Don't you think it's too early? β
"Dead duck has a hard mouth!" Logan pursed his lips, cursed in his heart, sat down by the campfire with his lunch box, and took a big bite to eat.
Anyway, Buchen was really a little anxious at this time, he kept looking in the direction of the camp gate, and an anxious look appeared on his face.
"Humph!" Logan admired Buchen's expression and ate more deliciously.
It was about ten o'clock in the evening, and Logan did not leave after eating, but stayed outside Buchen's tent.
"I said you didn't leave at this point because you wanted to sleep?" Buchen glared at him angrily.
"Don't say it so ugly, Henry!" Logan wasn't angry, just smiled and said, "I know you're not a!" β
"No, you're wrong, Logan, people change!" Buchen pretended to smile lewdly and looked at Logan.
"Shhhh Stop acting, do you want to pay the bills? Logan looked back at Buchen with an unkind gaze.
Of course Buchen won't admit it, he put away his smile and said seriously: "Don't worry, I am the emperor, and what I say is Chengxian, how can I deny it?" β
"Then hurry up and cash in!" Logan licked his face and stretched out his hand and said, "The ten rifled guns that I said are delivered~ now, or give me a bill of lading!" β
"Bullshit!" Buchen scolded angrily, "What time is this?" It's not time yet, is it? β
"I said we can't be happy?" Logan looked helplessly.
"Can't!" There is no room for negotiation in the way of non-ministers.
Logan didn't hesitate to give him a middle finger at him.
But I didn't want to, at this moment, far away, from the direction of the camp gate, suddenly there was a loud shout.
"Who's coming? Get your name in! β
Buchen immediately walked out of the tent when he heard the sound, staring in the direction of the camp gate with an expectant expression.
And Logan turned pale, but he refused to admit defeat, and still quibbled: "Those who come are not necessarily good news, but they may also be bad news!" β
"No, it's a good news!" Not a word of faith.
"How do you know?" Logan squinted at Buchen.
Buchen glanced at Logan and didn't speak, so he wouldn't tell Logan that he had already received the good news on the terminal, and the reason why he asked the soldiers to send it quickly was just to trick Logan.
Although, this trick plan almost messed up, and the soldier who delivered the good news didn't know why he was several hours late......
"I am Li Xiaoyong, the herald of the 109th Infantry Regiment, and I am ordered by the regiment commander to deliver the good news! Open the door! Sure enough, the herald outside the camp gate replied.
"Hand in your badge and identification!" It's just that the soldiers guarding the gate refused to let them go so easily, and asked to see their documents.
Then Li Xiaoyong knew that this was a regulation, and he didn't mean to delay at all, so he immediately handed over his documents.
"It's your own person, open the side door!" After checking the authenticity, the soldiers guarding the gate exchanged their documents for Li Xiaoyong and put the opposite side into the camp.
A few minutes later, the dusty Li Xiaoyong came to Buchen.
"I've seen Your Majesty!" Li Xiaoyong hammered his breastplate and bowed respectfully.
"No rudeness!" Buchen smiled and waved his hand, "Soldier, why are you here so late?" β
"Back to Your Majesty." Li Xiaoyong straightened up and replied without squinting: "I was robbed and killed by the local gentry on the road!" β
"It's the moths again!" The teeth of the unspeakable were itching, and the shitty gentry almost caused him to lose ten cannons.
"You broke through the siege alone?" Logan Trancy on the side asked incredulously.
Li Xiaoyong nodded, although he didn't know who the white guy in front of him was, but since the other party was by Buchen's side, he must be a distinguished guest of His Majesty the Emperor, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately replied: "I broke into the enemy formation, killed a leading gentry with a pistol, and those chaotic people scattered and fled!" β
"Dare to break through the battle alone, you can capture the thief and capture the king first, you have courage and strategy, soldier, I am optimistic about you!" Buchen said with a smile.
"Thank Your Majesty for your love, and the minister is grateful!" Li Xiaoyong is just a small person, and he can be praised by Buchen himself, and he was immediately moved.
"Okay, okay, this trip is really hard for you, give me the good news, go down and rest!" Buchen said gently.
Li Xiaoyong hurriedly took out a letter wrapped in brown paper from the inner pocket of his military uniform, raised his hands high, and handed it to Buchen very solemnly.
Buchen also took it with both hands as a sign of respect.
After Li Xiaoyong was taken to rest by the guards, Buchen tore open the letter, looked at it twice, and handed it to Logan Tracy.
Logan's expression at this time was more ugly than crying, and he looked at Buchen pitifully and said, "That, Henry, you don't remember villains, so don't worry about me!" β
Buchen shook his head categorically, and asked with a malicious smile: "Logan, do you want to deny it?" β
"You immoral bastard!" Logan's ruthless teeth were about to be crushed, but for the sake of his own reputation, he still couldn't deny it.
"I, Logan Tracy, stand up to the sky, and I'm willing to gamble and lose!" As he spoke, Logan knelt down and bowed three times and nine times to Buchen, and shouted in his mouth: "Your Majesty Henry is the greatest!" β
He looked at Logan with joy and bent over with a smile.
"Henry, you remember me!" After the ceremony, Logan immediately got up from the ground, angrily said a cruel word, and then left in a huff.
Buchen shrugged his shoulders, and got cheap and behaved: "Logan, who made you can't resist the temptation?" β
β¦β¦
The next few days were still a rapid march, and finally ten days after leaving Wushan Pass, Buchen led the main army to the city of Zhaoliang.
"You four did a good job, after the end of this battle, you can't run a single head!" Buchen said with a look of approval to the commanders of the four cavalry divisions who came to greet him.
"The last general will wait for Lord Longen!" Xu Weizheng, Zhao Deming and others hurriedly saluted and thanked them.
"That's it!" Buchen waved his hand casually, and walked towards the camp of the Fourth Cavalry Division by himself, and asked as he walked: "Since the end of the blocking battle, has Wang Gangshen and Bai Keqiu had any movement?" β
The four division commanders hurriedly shook their heads: "Back to Your Majesty, the tiger and the fox are as well-behaved as cats, and they have not behaved abnormally." β
Buchen sneered and looked back at them: "It seems that I was really scared by you!" β
"The last generals and others all relied on the exquisite weapons provided by the emperor to win, and they didn't dare to take credit!" Xu Weizheng took the lead, and the four division commanders said modestly.
Buchen shook his head and smiled, but didn't say anything.
"Your Majesty." At this moment, the head of the intelligence department who accompanied the army, Ni Duzhong, came up.
"Any updates?" Buchen asked curiously.
Ni Duzhong nodded: "The intelligence officers in the other four northwestern provinces have just sent a message, and the military horses of the four provinces have already made some moves. β
"Good!" Buchen said happily, "Now let's sit and wait for them to come to the door, and then gather and annihilate it in one go, so the northwest can be determined!" β
"Everything is at your majesty's disposal!"
Everyone present, except for Logan Tracy, beat their chests and saluted.
"Hmm!" Buchen nodded hesitantly.
It's just that Buchen didn't wait for the reinforcements of the beast clan from the four provinces who came to relieve the siege, and that night, he received bad news!
"Your Majesty, news has just come from the coastal cordon of our department that a large number of fishmen have appeared along the coast of Tongdong Town, and they are now landing!" Ni Quanzhong said with a worried face.
Buchen slammed his fist on the table, and said with a gloomy expression: "This group of seafood is really timely!" β
