Previous Chapter: Chapter 774 Sword City Broken Next Chapter: Chapter 776 Overseer Army
The people of Dao City, who had been 'forced' and had no way to live, became crazy after hearing this promise, no one likes to live a life of lack of food and clothing, so they decided to help the Dragon Army break the city!
Fortunately, Li Shanmeng only brought a few hundred town navy over at that time, and the rest of the city defense army was recruited locally, and the city defense soldiers of Daocheng originally had a great opinion on the town navy, and most of the military salaries and food distributed by the imperial court were greedy for ink by the town navy, and the rest was not enough for five thousand people, so he has never done much for the city defense task, which led to today's defeat in the first battle!
After listening to Hong Sheng's story, Xuan Bao looked at the generals around him, no matter how calm they were, but the corners of his eyes still couldn't hide the smug 'color' in his heart. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info-.. -
Although this result was less 'fine', it made the Helan people almost give the frightened Huilong army a morale boost, so that they knew that they were able to capture a city without firing an arrow!
Ye Xiaoxuan also smiled slightly, nodded and said to everyone: "This battle is good!"
Hearing Emperor Zun say this, a big stone fell in the hearts of all the soldiers, and their faces were even more meaningful, taking the knife city can make the Huilong Army gain a firm foothold, not only in the Dongshui area, but more importantly, in the heart of the emperor, there is a position in the Huilong Army!
"But..."Xuan Bao's words changed, his face became solemn, and he looked at everyone seriously.
Everyone's hearts hung again, and they looked at Emperor Zun with sincere fear, not knowing what he would ask for next.
Xuanbao's eyes fell on Ning Jiujin's face, and he said word by word: "Men pay attention to their words, and Xuanjun pays attention to a promise of a thousand troops, since the things promised to the people must be implemented as soon as possible! The people are the foundation of the country, and they cannot be deceived and concealed, and whoever loses his trust to the people is the enemy of the Xuanjun!"
"Yes!" Ning Jiujin and a group of soldiers knelt down in front of Xuanbao, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads!
They really wanted to press the things they promised at the beginning after capturing the city, whether they could fight with the town navy or not, the Huilong army had just finished fighting with the Herlans, and their vitality was greatly damaged, so they should recuperate at this time.
Although the combat strength of the Zhen Navy is average, after all, there are 200,000 people, if it really fights, even if the Huilong Army can win, it will hurt 1,000 enemies and lose 800 itself!
So to deal with the town navy, now is not the time, when to make the soldiers raised by the Huilong army stronger, when to fight him again!
It's no wonder that Ning Jiujin thinks so, the entire Yin army thinks like this. The people are the easiest to fool, and they are easy to bully, 'kneading' and pressing and tossing casually, they have no temper!
Even if the Huilong Army is a little stronger than other units of the Yin Army, it will inevitably be contaminated with many vices of the Yin Army, which is one of the aspects of oppressing the people. Although they still respect the people in their bones, which is where they are stronger than other Yin troops, they do not pay much attention to their commitments to the people in major matters, and this is also where they need to be rectified!
Xuan Bao had already seen this from the body of the great general Ning Hualong. A general who dares to spend the lives of hundreds of thousands of people to fulfill his own reputation of loyalty and righteousness will certainly not love the people like sons, and the soldiers under his command will not be much better!
Therefore, he sounded the alarm for Ning Jiujin and these people, he didn't want to ruin the good reputation that the Xuanjun had built up with great difficulty in the hands of others! It was also equivalent to setting a task for the Huilong Army, that is, to take down the Zhenhai Navy!
The best way to reorganize the army is to keep them ready for war for a long time. The knife hangs right around your neck, and if you don't try to run forward, it will fall off and stab you in the head!
Attacking the navy is not something that can be defeated in a day or two, if you have money, you will be powerful, and if you have power, you will be powerful. The Huilong army can't eat enough, and wants to use the tactics of conquering Sword City to deal with the town navy, which is purely a dream!
The Huilong army must be based in Daocheng, and then slowly extend to Dongshui. People are very reasonable, they don't have to keep your promises right away, just watch you work hard for them, and they will do everything they can to support you!
It is not so much that Xuanbao gave Ning Jiujin a problem, but rather that it showed him a way, and also left him an opportunity, whether they can have a good relationship with the people of Dao City depends on themselves!
The Huilong army occupied Daocheng, so it would naturally take back the fields that originally belonged to Daocheng from the hands of the Zhenjun, and with these fields, it would not be difficult to feed these 100,000 people and open up some side businesses.
From Daocheng to Dongshui, there are more than a dozen cities, large and small, if the Huilong Army is smart and knows how to nourish the war by war, it should expand its territory step by step, and with the territory, it will have more confidence, and when the right opportunity arises, it will be able to compete with the town navy!
The matter here can already be let go, Xuanbao wants to go back to Jiangnan, but before leaving, Xuanbao still needs to meet someone and talk to him!
In front of the back hall of the camp, there was a small courtyard, which was covered with grape trellises, and there was a stone table underneath, and next to the table were four stone benches.
At this moment, there is a middle-aged man sitting on the stone bench, his face is pale because of blood loss, and a 'confused' look appears, looking at the sky for a while, and looking at the people around him for a while, as if he doesn't know anyone.
There were a few people around him, Ning Xian'er had red eyes, held a small bowl, and pleaded to the middle-aged man: "Dad, you just drink the 'medicine'! Don't you recognize the 'girl'?" The 'girl' won't harm you, be obedient, drink this 'medicine'!"
The middle-aged man is Ning Hualong, the general of the Huilong Army, but now he is no longer a general, Xuanbao has already appointed Ning Jiujin as the general, Ning Wujin as the deputy general, and the rest of Ning Bajin, Ning Qijin, Ning Liujin, and Hong Sheng are the main and deputy generals.
Now Ning Hualong is no longer an official and light. In fact, I woke up two days earlier, but today is the first time I got out of bed.
General Ning, who escaped death, is now a little unconscious, and he can still recognize people when he wakes up, but after a day, no one recognizes him, his sanity is good and bad, Xiao Yin has also shown him, but it can only be said that he is in the process of recovery, which may be the sequelae caused by major injuries.
Seeing Xuanbao and Xiaoyin coming, Ning Pengcheng and Ning Xian'er brothers and sisters hurriedly saluted: "Participate in the emperor's honor, see Queen Luan's mother!"
Xuan Bao waved his hand and said to Ning Xian'er with a smile: "It's better to call us Second Brother, it's not appropriate to call us this now!" He hasn't been called Emperor yet, so it's too early to call him Emperor Zun.
Looking at Ning Hualong, who was sitting on the stone bench and staring blankly at the distance, Xuan Bao and Xiao Yin exchanged glances, and then walked in front of him.
Xiao Yin first carefully observed his complexion, then grabbed his arm and pressed his pulse 'door'. Ning Hualong didn't struggle, let her press.
After a while, Xiao Yin let go of Ning Hualong's arm, smiled and said to the Ning family brothers and sisters next to him, "It's okay, General Ning is recovering very well, his pulse is stable, and his blood is abundant." ”
A big stone fell to the ground in the hearts of the Ning brothers. Ning Pengcheng frowned again and said, "Divine doctor, what about my father's brain..."
It's not a way to always don't recognize people, will it be a mess for the rest of your life if you go on like this? Daddy has been in the army all his life, and now he has ended up like this, Ning Pengcheng is unwilling to do it for his father!
Xuan Bao smiled slightly and said to him: "Brother Pengcheng, you and Xian'er accompany Xiaoyin for a walk in this courtyard, and I will accompany General Ning here!"
Ning Pengcheng was stunned for a moment, looked at him and his father, and then looked at his sister Xian'er, and saw that she also had a strange look on her face, but he also knew that the emperor would not harm their father, so he nodded, and pulled Ning Xian'er to accompany Xiao Yin and walked away.
Looking at Ning Hualong's wooden look, Xuan Bao smiled and sat on the chair next to him, looked at him and said, "General Ning, do you want to continue to be confused? After a few days of hiding, when will you hide? It has become a fact that the Huilong Army has become the Xuan Army, and now that the entire Central Plains knows this, do you still want to go back?"
Just one sentence made Ning Hualong's look both panicked and angry, and his face turned from white to iron-blue.
Yes, he was pretending to be confused! From the first day he woke up, he started to pretend to be confused, because he didn't know how to deal with it!
He has always claimed to be a loyal minister, and when Mo Li's Tiger Courage Army surrendered to the Xuan Army, he once pointed at the West in the Huilong Barracks and scolded, scolding Mo Li for being greedy for life and afraid of death, and scolding him for his disloyalty and injustice!
But now, the same thing happened to him, when he woke up, the way of the world had changed, even if he wanted to fight, but the power of the army was no longer in his hands!
How did he face this? How did he redeem it? Everything was a foregone conclusion, from the moment the Huilong army resolutely chose to avoid in Ice Cliff City, and let the Helan people drive straight into Kyoto, he Ninghualong and his Huilong army had already become the sinners of the Yin Dynasty!
Now that the Huilong Army has taken down the Sword City, it is still under the banner of the Xuan Army, and he can't reverse it, except for pretending to be stupid, he has nothing to do!
But how could he fool Xuan Bao's eyes with these tricks? When Xiao Yin told Xuan Bao about Ning Hualong's diagnosis that he was already fine, he knew that this old man was pretending to be stupid! Thinking about it, if it were him, he would probably have to do the same!
But if you keep pretending like this, it's not good for anyone! Now that things have come to this point, the best way is to face it directly and spread everything out.
Ning Hualong is not a stupid person, since he has been exposed, it will be meaningless to pretend again, his eyes looked at the sons and daughters who walked into the distance, put his mind at ease, turned his head to look at Xuanbao, and his eyes showed a cold light of hatred.
"Xuanzun is really a good means! Without spending a single soldier, he will collect 100,000 Huilong Army in his pocket, and the old man will run the Huilong Army all his life, which is not as good as Xuanzun's words!"
Xuan Bao smiled faintly, looked at Ning Hualong with his eyes squarely and said, "100,000 Hui Long Army, isn't the Hui Long Army known as 300,000 troops, where did the remaining 200,000 go?"
Ning Hualong's face became even more pale, and he slapped the stone table and shouted: "What do you mean? Don't you know that my brothers are all good? The place where the 200,000 brothers died is worthy of the true 'color' of a soldier!"
Xuan Bao sneered, glared at Ning Hualong and said, "But in my opinion, half of them died very unjustly! Because they didn't have to die, but their general wanted to leave a reputation as a hero and fulfill a loyal integrity, so they sacrificed the lives of 100,000 people in vain!"
