Chapter 601

The military doctor shook his head and said: "The king's body is very weak, if he hasn't woken up for six hours, even if he shouts hard, he has to wake up the king, and after feeding the adults tonics, he can let the king fall asleep again." ”

"Oh! That's it!" Xiao Muqing nodded again and again, then turned to the generals below and said: "You all remember the time, it's six hours, if you delay for a while, I'll ask you!"

"Yes! General Xiao!"

Xiao Muqing pondered for a moment, and then said to the military doctor: "Medical officer, how is the situation of the other trapped soldiers?"

The military doctor sighed and said, "The situation is very bad. Most of the soldiers were wounded, but there was no medicine to treat them, and they had not been cleaned, and most of the wounds were rotten. ”

Xiao Muqing frowned, and said quietly: "All the soldiers who survived are my sons and daughters of the wind, and it is hard to find a thousand gold, please save them no matter what, and save their lives!" As he spoke, Xiao Muqing arched his hand and bowed deeply to the military doctor.

Seeing this, the generals of Liang Qi, Ziying, and Gu Yue also bowed their hands one after another. The military doctor was startled, hurriedly bowed to the ground, returned the salute, and said: "Oh, General Xiao and the generals are too polite, I will do our best to heal the wounded soldiers, and the generals can rest assured!"

Xiao Muqing thanked him repeatedly, and then, he discussed with Liang Qi, Ziying, and Gu Yue, and decided to leave the direct army, the Plains Army, the Sanshui Army, and the Sky Eagle Army to join forces to hunt down and kill Changsun Yuanhong. Now that Tang Yin is asleep, the four army commanders Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, Ziying, and Gu Yue have the highest power, and among them, Xiao Muqing has the oldest qualifications, so he naturally became the one who replaced Tang Yin as the commander.

The Plains Army, the Sanshui Army, and the Eagle Army, totaling more than 100,000 people, marched towards Qingyuan City together, with nearly 100,000 people directly under the army, staying in the camp of the Ning Army, taking care of Tang Yin and the wounded soldiers, and at the same time, they also happened to receive the grain, grass and baggage left in the camp.

Eldest Sun Yuanhong did retreat in the direction of Qingyuan City, after all, there were still tens of thousands of Ning troops there. The eldest grandson Yuanhong led tens of thousands of lightly armed soldiers of the Ning army, ran wildly, and retreated to the Ning camp outside Qingyuan City overnight. When he was helped into the Zhongjun tent and saw Wei Zheng, he didn't know whether the eldest grandson Yuanhong was tired or angry, his face was pale, he pointed at Wei Zheng, his body trembled, and he gritted his teeth weakly and said: "Wei Zheng, why did you resist my military orders again and again and delay coming for reinforcements?"

Wei Zheng had already thought of his words, he didn't even hesitate, he first bowed to the eldest grandson Yuanhong, and then said unhurriedly: "General Changsun is eager for meritorious service, knowing that Tang Yin's escape to the north is the plan of the Feng army, but he insists on going to chase and kill, ignoring the lives of his soldiers, and finally leads to being trapped in the wilderness.

"Fart!" Changsun Yuan's face turned red unnaturally, and he said fiercely: "Wei Zheng, you have a grudge against me in your heart, deliberately disobey my orders, and ruin my plan, how can I keep you?" As he spoke, he turned his head sideways and shouted: "Come on, take down this thief for me!"

"Wait!" Wei Zheng smiled fearlessly and said, "General Changsun, you are a general, and I am also a general, there is no difference between you and me, what right do you have to arrest me?"

The eldest grandson Yuanhong took a deep breath, snorted and laughed, laughed angrily, he squinted his eyes, looked at Wei Zheng, and said word by word: "Why? Just because I am the commander of the whole army, you are the second marshal, you say I have no right to arrest you?"

Wei Zheng shrugged his shoulders, turned around with a smile, walked back to the back of the handsome case, sat down slowly, and then slowly picked up an edict from the table, handed it to Changsun Yuanhong, and said, "General Changsun, please take a look at it first." ”

Eldest Sun Yuanhong looked at the edict in Wei Zheng's hand, his brows twisted into a pimple, he looked at the partial general beside him, the latter understood, hurriedly stepped forward, took the edict, and then retreated to the side of Eldest Sun Yuanhong and handed him the edict. Changsun Yuanhong took it and unfolded it, this edict was indeed written by Yan Chu, the king of Ning, and it was also a secret edict, which roughly meant that Wei Zheng would work together with Changsun Yuanhong in the Western Army to resist the wind army, but if it was found that Changsun Yuanhong had improper command, he could immediately take over the power of the whole army and replace him.

The meaning of this 'improper command' is too vague, if you deliberately get along with the eldest grandson Yuanhong, every military order he gives can pick a bone in the egg and say what is inappropriate. Yan Chu, as a monarch, used such vague words in Mizhao, and his practical intentions were also obvious, he couldn't trust Changsun Yuanhong, and he couldn't safely hand over the military power to Changsun Yuanhong, so he appointed Wei Zheng to come to be the deputy commander of the Western Army, and let him supervise Changsun Yuanhong.

Wei Zheng didn't see that the eldest grandson Yuanhong had the intention of being subordinate, but he opposed the latter's radical tactics from the bottom of his heart, feeling too reckless, and used the lives of the whole army as a stepping stone for him to establish miraculous feats. Now that the eldest grandson Yuanhong is back, he confronted him face to face and tore his face, Wei Zheng is no longer polite, and takes out Yan Chu's secret edict and lets the eldest grandson Yuanhong look at it.

After reading this secret zhao, the eldest grandson Yuanhong suddenly had the feeling of wanting to laugh, how smart he was, he understood what Yan Chu meant. He fought desperately in front, but the king didn't have the slightest trust in himself, sent Wei Zheng to monitor him, and gave him this secret edict as a weapon to suppress himself, how can this battle be fought? What is the point of fighting? Who are you fighting for?

"Haha......" Changsun Yuanhong laughed, he took the edict and nodded again and again, suddenly waved his hand, threw the edict directly on Wei Zheng's body, and said quietly: "Okay! You have the edict of the king, you can take over the army at any time, I don't think you need to wait for later, it's now, from now on, all the officers and soldiers of my western army will be commanded by you, General Wei Zhengwei, I don't care!" After speaking, Changsun Yuanhong said to the two guards who supported him: "Help me go!"

"General-" The surrounding generals didn't know what the specific content of the edict was, but they could guess through the words of Changsun Yuanhong, and when people saw that he handed over the command of the entire army to Wei Zheng, they were all in a hurry, and they stepped forward one after another, ran to the front of Changsun Yuanhong, and knelt down in an uproar, each of them tilted their heads, looked at Changsun Yuanhong with their eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "General......! General! You can't ignore us!"

The eldest grandson, Yuanhong, did not speak, and turned his head away, unable to bear to look at these brothers who had followed him for many years.

Wei Zheng is not a mediocre person, he and Changsun Yuanhong only have a conflict in combat thinking, and now seeing that the latter wants to push the military power of the whole army to himself, Wei Zheng does not dare to take it, he has self-knowledge, and knows that he can't catch it if he wants to, the Western Army was established by Changsun Yuanhong, from the general to the ordinary soldiers, all of whom are Changsun Yuanhong's cronies, and can command this army, except for Changsun Yuanhong, there is no second.

Wei Zheng stood up, walked to the side of Changsun Yuanhong, gave a deep salute, and said with a smile: "What is General Changsun talking about? You are the commander-in-chief, I am the second-marshal, how can there be a reason why the commander-in-chief does not care about things, and the vice-marshal commands the whole army? ”

"Yes, General!" "Please think twice, General!" Hearing Wei Zheng say this, the generals of the Western Army secretly sighed, and at the same time replied one after another.

Eldest Sun Yuanhong looked at the generals, and finally his eyes fell on Wei Zheng, he sneered, and said: "General Wei Zheng, didn't the king send you just to let you take over my military power?

"Oops! General Changsun misunderstood. Wei Zheng said: "The king has no such intention, and I have no intention of snooping on the general's military power." The king made it very clear in the edict that he wanted you and me to work together to deal with the Feng Army, and I also hoped that General Changsun would be Mingjian. ”

Wei Zheng had already spoken softly, and the eldest grandson Yuanhong had no intention of really handing over the military power, so at this time, he took advantage of the situation to break the donkey, he nodded with a smile, and said with a pun: "Of course I understand the king's thoughts." ”

Hmph! Wei Zheng sneered in his heart, his face was not revealed, he changed his words, and asked suspiciously, "I don't know what the general plans now?"

Changsun Yuanhong was silent, and just as he was turning his head, someone outside the tent shouted: "Report-" With the voice, a Ning army spy rushed close from outside, and when he saw Changsun Yuanhong, he hurriedly stepped forward and intervened and said: "General Bao, nearly 200,000 people of the Feng army are coming from the north to our army camp at full speed!"

Hearing this, the faces of all the people in the tent changed. Wei Zheng gasped and muttered, "The Wind Army is coming so fast!" As he spoke, he said to the eldest grandson Yuanhong: "General Yuanhong, now that you are injured, our army has just suffered a defeat, and your morale is low, so you must not fight hard with the Wind Army, our army ...... Let's strictly guard the camp and resist the wind army!"

At this time, the eldest grandson Yuanhong, who had always been radical in battle, was in agreement with Wei Zheng, the battle of Hedong had been completely defeated, and it was really difficult to resist the army of the Wind Country with only his current more than 100,000 troops. He raised his head, sighed faintly, and said: "There is no place for our army to stand in the east of the river, and the only way to do this is to retreat to the west of the Zhanghe River and resist the wind army and continue to advance west!"

"This ......"

Hedong is named after the Zhanghe River, and if it retreats to the west of the Zhanghe, it is equivalent to giving up the entire Hedong region, which makes the conservative Wei Zheng a little difficult to accept. He was embarrassed and said: "The king sent us to the east of the river to recover the lost territory, if we retreat to the west of the river, you and I ...... Isn't it a great trust in the king?"

Eldest Sun Yuanhong smiled bitterly and asked rhetorically: "General Wei, in your opinion, with the current situation of our army, how can we resist the menacing wind army?"
