Chapter 403: Persuasion

The handsome flag fluttered, the horn buzzed, and the tens of thousands of troops outside Cangzhou City finally began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Whether it is Tan Hongda of the Qilin Legion or Cheng Yinghao, the commander-in-chief of the Cheng family, they are all battle-hardened veterans.

Under their command, although the army retreated backwards, it was extremely tightly formed, and it had the strength to return and strike at any time.

Being able to command the soldiers so handily shows that these two generals are worthy of their reputations.

"Lord, let me go out, the Iron Blood Army will definitely bring Tan Hongda and their heads back."

By Xu Haifeng's side, Xu Lihu shouted to ask for battle, and his wish immediately attracted a burst of joyful support. All the Predator soldiers in the vicinity looked at their lord with hopeful eyes.

Xu Haifeng's expression remained unchanged, he looked ahead, smiled suddenly, and said, "Second Tiger." ”

"In ......," Xu Lihu shouted.

Although he has changed his name and surname a long time ago, Xu Haifeng has always affectionately called him Erhu, which is indeed a unique exception among the many generals under Xu Haifeng's command.

"You're pretty sure." Xu Haifeng asked with a smile.

"Ten percent."

"Ten percent?" Xu Haifeng turned his gaze in surprise, although Erhu was famous for his bravery, he was by no means a reckless and ignorant fool who didn't know right from wrong.

If he was really such a person, even if Xu Haifeng admired him again, he would never dare to hand over the position of the Lord of the First Army to him.

However, what he said today seemed a bit excessive.

"Yes, as long as Commander Zhang can cooperate, our whole army will attack, although it is difficult to annihilate them all, but the victory is nine out of ten." Xu Lihu's eyes carried a smell of blood that was about to move, and he really hated these southern barbarians.

Xu Haifeng smiled slightly bitterly, if the Sky Eagle Legion can really put everything aside and fully cooperate, in the current situation, it is indeed not difficult to win.

However, Xu Haifeng did not have the slightest confidence in this fact that one of the five major armies of the Han Dynasty in the past could exert much combat effectiveness when facing the only bloodline heir of the Liu family.

Of course, this sentence must not be spoken, on the contrary, it is only right that he must show that he trusts the Aquila Legion.

"Nonsense." Xu Haifeng suddenly made a blank face and said, "Who told you that you want to fight with them?" ”

Xu Lihu was stunned, disturbed his scalp, smiled, and said, "Lord, they are knocking on the door, we can't stick out our heads and let them cut it." ”

Xu Haifeng sighed helplessly, and suddenly turned his head and asked, "Lord Zeng, what do you think?" ”

Xu Lihu turned his head to see that a scholar was walking briskly to the city, it was Zeng Kewei, the new prefect of Cangzhou City.

Zeng Kewei took three steps forward, his expression was slightly hesitant, but in just a moment, he knelt down towards Xu Haifeng.

"Lord Zeng, please get up."

As soon as Xu Haifeng stretched out his hand, Zeng Kewei couldn't kneel anymore, and he stood up involuntarily.

"My lord." Zeng Kewei raised his head, looked at Xu Haifeng, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Zhengqi is the prince of the Han Dynasty after all. ”

Xu Haifeng nodded noncommittally, raised his feet and walked to the head of the city, watching the army in front of him gradually move away.

Zeng Kewei suddenly took a few steps forward, came to Xu Haifeng's side, and said in an extremely low voice: "Lord, anyone can do it, but you can't." ”

Xu Haifeng turned his head unexpectedly, looked at him for a long time, and suddenly laughed loudly, and said, "Okay, Kewei, you can be interested in going to Beijing with me in the future." ”

Zeng Kewei's expression moved slightly, but he was a little hesitant.

Xu Haifeng suddenly knew that he was hindered by his father's last words, and he didn't dare to agree, but since he had this wish, would there be fewer workarounds.

"My lord, Commander Zhang is here."

Xu Lihu suddenly shouted.

Xiao Wenbing responded casually and said to Zeng Kewei: "You go and prepare, and in the future, you will stock up on more grains, grasses, and medicines, and I will be useful within the year." ”

Zeng Kewei bowed down and said respectfully: "Yes." However, in his heart, there was a palpitation, food, grass, medicine, is it going to war again? It's just that I don't know who the target is this time, the Cheng family, or the Qilin Legion?

"Commander Zhang."

Among the four major legions under Xu Haifeng's command now, only Zhang Jinzhong is still over fifty years old, and when he saw him, Xu Haifeng at least maintained a respectful smile on the surface.

"The lord is fast, and the last general will be respected." Zhang Jinzhong suddenly stood up straight, and changed the normal deep salute, anyone can feel the sincerity in his sentence: "The Northern Expedition to the Huns, with this immortal feat, will eventually be able to follow the lord, and there will be no regrets in this life." ”

Even with Xu Haifeng's determination, he also had a trace of surprise in his heart.

Exterminated the Huns, I didn't expect that the benefits brought by this great achievement were far greater than I imagined.

"Yes, lord, how did you get here, why are you so fast?"

Don't look at it, to be able to ask such unscrupulous words, only Xu Lihu is possible.

Fortunately, Xu Haifeng knew his temperament very well, and he was no stranger to it.

If you want to talk about how he came here, it is really a history of hard work without tears.

Since receiving the news of the monkey child, Jiang Kongming has no scruples and uses the biggest trump card in his hand - hot air balloons.

In one day, he captured the royal city of the Huns, Xijing.

This result is absolutely unprecedented, unprecedented.

The battle situation is certain, Jiang Kongming immediately led the army to return south, as for the spoils of war in the northern Xinjiang, according to his words, he will store them in the hands of all ethnic groups for a few days, and let them vomit twice as much in the future.

As for Xu Haifeng, it is even more hard.

As soon as he left the camp, he traveled lightly and took the clouds with him.

One person and one ride, across thousands of mountains and rivers, finally rushed to Cangzhou City at this critical juncture.

During this time, he really didn't sleep and went all out.

If his crotch is not the unparalleled BMW horse in the world, if he himself is not a great master who has reached the peak of his physical strength. They didn't think they would be here today.

However, Xiao is like this, he is also tired and dying at this time, and he just wants to lie down and cover his head and sleep well.

Of course, this wish is difficult to achieve at the moment.

Since he came to Cangzhou City, some entertainment is definitely inevitable, and it is impossible for him to have time to rest until he understands these trivial matters.

If you want to gain a lot of power, you have to put a lot of energy, and this is really true.

Just as Xiao Wenbing was full of emotion, a small soldier hurriedly came, suddenly fell to his knees, and said in a loud voice: "General Lu, please meet the lord." ”

Xu Haifeng was stunned, Xu Lihu was straightforward, and immediately put the old general in danger, but Liu Zhengqi said it again with despicable poisoning.

Xu Haifeng's brows furrowed tightly, would Liu Zhengqi and the others do such a stupid thing? Unless they're all a bunch of pigs.

And the experience and insight of the old general at the peak of the road would not be aware of it at all, which is even more incredible.

However, if this question is asked to Erhu, it is simply asked by Yu Blind.

Xu Haifeng turned his head and looked at Zhang Jinzhong and Zeng Kewei intentionally or unintentionally, only to see them shaking their heads lightly at him, and suddenly his heart was clear, and he secretly admired, what a bitter plan, what a prosperous road.

The group came to the old general's residence, and after saluting, the old general's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one.

Everyone retired one after another, and even Xu Lihu was unwilling, and reluctantly left in three steps.

"Thank you, old general." Seeing that the idle people and others had all gone, Xu Haifeng said directly.

When talking to such an old and mature person, it is often this most direct word that touches people's hearts the most.

Lu Dingsheng smiled bitterly and said: "The old man congratulated the lord with a victory, and from now on, my big man will have nothing but this thorn in his eye, and he will be a thorn in his flesh." ”

Xu Haifeng smiled slightly, knowing that since the old general wanted to be in a separate room with him, he naturally had another purpose.

Sure enough, Lu Dingsheng coughed and said, "Lord, what are your plans to treat the south in the future?" ”

Xu Haifeng raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Shunchang is rebellious." ”

Lu Dingsheng was in his heart, what a domineering four words. He sighed, everyone is changing, even Xu Haifeng is the same, but now he really has such strength.

"Lord, the Cheng family is in the south, after all, it has been in business for many years, and it is deep-rooted, if you use swords and soldiers in vain, I am afraid that it will be protracted, and it will not be the blessing of the common people in the world." Lu Dingsheng pondered for a moment, word by word.

Xu Haifeng smiled slightly, as if he had already guessed what the old general meant, and he asked softly, "Then what does the old general mean?" ”

Lu Dingsheng beat a drum in his heart, but now, he is ready to fly, and he can't do it if he doesn't send it. He gritted his teeth sharply and said heavily: "Collect the Cheng family, chase the unicorn." ”

"Chasing the unicorn?" Xu Haifeng's voice became deeper and lower: "Isn't it to destroy the Qilin?" ”

"I can't."

"Why?"

"In the south, there are many scholars, and no matter how high or cold they are, their hearts are all thinking of the old master." Lu Dingsheng exhaled and said: "If the lord practices the government of benevolence, he can easily collect the hearts of the world's scholars, and if he does that violent government, then the world's scholars, even if they have the heart to serve, they must also take care of the infamy behind them, and dare not come." ”

Xu Haifeng's eyes flashed, and he was silent, and after a long time, he finally stood up and said, "The old general is resting, and Xu has his own measure." ”

Lu Dingsheng sighed deeply, and was about to persuade again, when he suddenly heard someone outside the door shouting: "Lord, the Cheng family is here, please see the lord." ”

The two people in the room were stunned at the same time, and the expressions on their faces involuntarily looked strange.
