Chapter 1172: Coming Enemy
With the cooperation of the Shura Hall branch staff, the crossing of the river by the Zhenjun army became much smoother. Large and small boats ferried back and forth on the surface of the Gujiang River, transporting batches of Zhenjun soldiers and military supplies to the other side of the Gujiang River.
On this morning, Shangguan Xiu and the generals in the army were inspecting the riverside, and hundreds of carriages were running on the official road. Shangguan Xiu and others saw it, but they didn't go to their hearts, during this time, Qingcheng would transport a large number of supplies every day, most of them were food, and the people of Qingcheng donated their own dried fish, fish paste, dry food and other things, and then Zhao Wen sent people to the Zhenjun military camp.
Glancing at the carriages running on the official road, Luo Ren continued to Shangguan Xiu: "According to the current progress, it will take two days at most, and the soldiers and grain and grass of our army can be transported to the other side. β
As soon as his words fell, Zhao Chen answered: "It is reported that the Shangjing Imperial Court has sent Tang Jing to command an army of 200,000 to enter Anjun, look at the posture, it is coming for our army!"
"They're not going to fight our army head-to-head, are they?" said Rojn, raising his eyebrows. If the rebels are all retreating in the area of Shangjing, relying only on the 100,000 soldiers of the First Army of the Zhenjun Army, it is not easy to defeat Shangjing, and now Shangjing has sent out the main army, in the eyes of Luo Ren and other generals, the approach of the Shangjing Imperial Court is simply looking for death.
Zhao Chen Zhengse said: "Don't underestimate these two legions, these two legions are Tang Yu's family background, they are the rebels who followed him to rebel in Feng County, the first batch of rebels, the main strength of the two legions comes from the local army of Feng County, proficient in firearms, brave and good at fighting, and their combat power should not be underestimated, in addition, the artillery carried by the two legions is more than a thousand, and there are thousands of carriages loaded with ammunition. β
Everyone present frowned, the rebels' firearms are all supported by Besa, all along, the number of firearms is not very sufficient, especially artillery, the cost is high, transportation is difficult, Besa State to Tang Yu court aid the number of artillery is limited, this is also one of the reasons why the rebels obviously have a large number of troops, but they have been repeatedly defeated by the Zhenjun army on the frontal battlefield.
Now I heard that the rebels carried more than a thousand artillery pieces, and even loaded thousands of wagons with ammunition, and their weapons and ammunition were as sufficient as their own.
It seems that the next battle will be a tough battle! Luo Ren rubbed his chin and muttered: "No wonder the rebels dared to leave Shangjing and take the initiative to face the battle, it turned out that they had obtained a large number of weapons from Besa!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of gurgling and laughter in the distance, and everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look, only to see that the hundreds of carriages had stopped on the official road, and the people who walked down from the carriages were all young women, all of them wearing heavy makeup and bright clothes, and many girls were not wearing anything in their skirts, revealing a large area of snow-white skin on their chests. γβ³Netγ
The soldiers of the Zhenjun Army, who were busy nearby, stopped their work one after another, staring at each other with big eyes, and they were almost stupid. Seeing this, the girls' laughter was even louder, and for the soldiers in the army, the bursts of laughter were like coming from nature.
Luo Ren looked at it, frowned, and asked angrily, "What's the matter? Who got them?"
After a short time, two gendarmes came with a man in civilian clothes. The man in civilian clothes came to the front of everyone, bowed to the ground, and said, "Villain Zhao Wen, meet the generals!"
"You are Zhao Wen, the branch master of Qingcheng?" Luo Ren's gloomy face softened a little, his face was about to drip.
"Exactly, exactly, I don't know ...... this general is."
"Rokuno!"
"Oh, it turned out to be Lord Luo, disrespectful, disrespectful, disrespectful, disrespectful!" In Shura Hall, there are not many people who have the golden hall card, and Luo Ren is one of the few.
"Mr. Zhao!" Without waiting for Luo Ren to speak, Shangguan Xiu said slowly.
"This is ......"
"Don't hurry up and see Your Highness!" Since they are fellow brothers, Luo Ren kindly reminded him on the side.
When Zhao Wen heard this, he didn't even pause, he knelt on the ground with a puff, kowtowed forward, and said in a trembling voice: "Subordinate Zhao Wen, knock to see Your Highness! Your subordinates' admiration for Your Highness has been going on for a long time, and you can see Your Highness today, and your subordinates will die without regrets......
Shangguan Xiu only waved the sleeves of his robe slightly, and Zhao Wen, who was kneeling on the ground, felt that there was an invisible and real force that held him up, and he stood up in place dumbfounded, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"My own brother, you don't have to be polite. Shangguan Xiu pouted to Nunu on the other side of the official road and said, "Mr. Zhao brought these women, I don't know what he wants?"
Zhao Wen finally reacted, although he didn't know how he got up, but his admiration for Shangguan Xiu was even stronger.
He bowed and saluted: "Your Highness led the army all the way to battle, presumably the soldiers are also very hard, and the subordinates specially selected these women to contribute to the soldiers!"
Zhao Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes, and secretly cursed in his heart for being stupid! Can't you discuss it with me before you do something?
Luo Ren also shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Brother Zhao, now is the time for the two armies to clash, and he has brought so many women, there is a suspicion of disturbing the morale of the army!"
"Huh?" Zhao Wen was dumbfounded when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at the rest of the people, and saw that all the generals were nodding their heads, and he realized that he had slapped the horse's leg this time.
He was so frightened that he was about to kneel on his knees and apologize to Shangguan Xiu to admit his mistake, but the latter waved his hand and said: "Forget it, the so-called ignorant is not to blame, Mr. Zhao is not a soldier in the army, and it is understandable that he does not understand the rules of the army, not to mention that Mr. Zhao is still out of a good heart." β
They are all from the Shura Hall, they belong to the same brotherhood, and no one will go to the well. The generals of the Zhenjun Army present nodded one after another, and arched their hands and said, "What His Highness said is extremely true. β
Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "Don't let these women brought by Mr. Zhao enter the barracks." β
"Yes, yes, yes! The crimes of the subordinates deserve death, and they are all at the disposal of His Highness!"
"Since they have already come, let them live on both sides of the official road temporarily, and ...... other" As he spoke, Shangguan Xiu looked at Luo Ren and said, "Ah Ren, how about giving the brothers a day off?"
Luo Ren had no objection, nodded and replied: "Yes! Brother Xiu! Tomorrow, let the soldiers rest for a day!"
Shangguan Xiu's gaze fell on Zhao Wen again, and said: "Do things in the future, don't make assertions, otherwise, good intentions may also do bad things." β
"Yes, yes, His Highness has taught you a great lesson, and your subordinates will remember it!" Zhao Wen nodded like pounding garlic.
Shangguan Xiu changed his words and asked, "Zhao Wen, if you are asked to form a city army in Qingcheng, how many people can you recruit?"
Zhao Wen's face was straight, and he said, "The villain will definitely be able to recruit more than 5,000 people." β
Shangguan Xiu asked again, "Who do you think is the most appropriate person to take over the position of city lord now?"
Zhao Wen thought about it, looked at Shangguan Xiu cautiously, and said: "My brother-in-law has studied in the Imperial Town Academy, and in the eyes of my subordinates, my brother-in-law has only learned people, and he is a rare talent!"
Shangguan Xiu couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Mr. Zhao is a virtuous person who doesn't shy away from relatives!"
"The subordinates don't dare, what the subordinates say, every sentence is true......"
"Okay!" Shangguan Xiu said: "Mr. Zhao's brother-in-law will temporarily serve as the city lord of Qingcheng, and Mr. Zhao can temporarily serve as the city captain." The rules of Shura Hall, presumably Mr. Zhao is already very clear, what things should be done and what should not be done, I don't need to remind you anymore, now I have only one sentence to warn you, do well, Mr. Zhao and his brother-in-law will have a bright future, and if they don't do well, they can only have a bright future. Can Mr. Zhao understand what I mean?"
Zhao Wen is a rough man, he can't understand Shangguan Xiu's biting and chewing words, and he is confused by his two promising (bright). Zhao Chen coughed dryly beside him and whispered: "The second future is bright, it is the brightness of the bright light!"
After listening to Zhao Chen's explanation, Zhao Wen understood what Shangguan Xiu meant, his body was shocked, he knelt on his knees, kowtowed forward, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, although rest assured, your subordinates will not dishonor Your Highness's trust!"
Shangguan Xiu smiled and said softly, "Lord Zhao step down!"
"Yes! Subordinates retire!" Zhao Wen breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and respectfully made a circle to everyone present, and then retreated and left.
After he left, Zhao Chen leaned closer to Shangguan Xiu and whispered: "Zhao Wen is the head snake of Qingcheng, and he is also a famous ruffian in Qingcheng. Zhao Wen has a bold temperament, quite the pride of people in the rivers and lakes, and has no evil deeds towards the local people. β
In a few words, Zhao Chen described Zhao Wenqi as a general idea. Shangguan Xiu just nodded and said to the people around him: "During this time, everyone has worked hard after many battles, take advantage of tomorrow's rest, and relax tonight." β
"Yes, Your Highness!" everyone agreed, with beams on their faces.
That night, the girls brought by Zhao Wen set up simple tents on both sides of the official road, and there were as many guests as carp crossing the river.
The camp on the east bank of the Jungjun Army. At night, there were not a few soldiers walking around in the huge barracks. Some of the troops of the Zhenjun army had crossed the Gujiang River and camped on the west bank, and many of the remaining officers and soldiers of the Zhenjun army had gone to the girls' residences and were happy.
In the barracks, the quiet, silent atmosphere did not correspond to the size of the barracks at all.
When the saintess walked into Shangguan Xiu's sleeping tent, the latter was sitting on a mat, looking down at the map spread out on the table. In the corner of the tent, Wu Yufei sat cross-legged, as if he was napping and meditating.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, she quickly raised her eyes and looked over, and when she saw that it was a saint, she closed her eyes again.
"You didn't leave?" the holy woman walked to Shangguan Xiu's table and stood still.
"Where should I go?" Shangguan Xiu asked with a smile without raising his head.
"I heard that there is a large group of women living near the barracks. β
"Hmm. "You don't want to go?" "Not interested. The holy woman walked to the side of the table, sat down, her elbows on the table, her palms supporting her chin, looked at Shangguan Xiu intently, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why are you the only ones who are not interested?"
Shangguan Xiu sighed helplessly, it seemed that the Holy Maiden didn't plan to calm down and think about the next tactics, he straightened up and asked with a smile, "Why do I have to be interested?"
"Don't all men like that kind of showy girl?" The saint now has a deep understanding of this, on weekdays, the eyes of the soldiers looking at her are basically cold and indifferent, as still as water, and looking at the eyes of those girls outside the camp, their eyes are really about to erupt fire, and their eyeballs are about to fly out.
The reason why this is the case is that the change in the appearance of the saint is too common, and she doesn't wear makeup, which really can't arouse people's appetite, and secondly, and the most critical point, she is the maid next to Shangguan Xiu, not to mention that no one dares to think about her, and no one even dares to take a second look at her.
Shangguan Xiu was amused by her words, he suddenly forbade his nose, approached the holy woman, took two deep breaths close to her, and asked, "Did you use pollen?"
The holy maiden's face was slightly red, she stepped back with a disgusted face, glared at Shangguan Xiu dissatisfiedly, and scolded angrily: "Who do you think of me?"
Shangguan Xiu's eyes flashed, he laughed on his back, and said, "It doesn't matter who I take you seriously, the important thing is that someone seems to treat me as a fool." Sneaky, sneaky, so unsightly?"
As he spoke, Shangguan Xiu suddenly raised his hand and flicked it, and several strands of silver thread flew out from his fingertips, all shooting towards the roof of the camp tent. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
