Chapter 836: Retreat

Xun Xiu was injured, oh, Zhao Ming was also injured, but he was dragged and fell while retreating, compared to Xun Xiu, he was much better.

As a wise person, he felt that as long as his mouth could move, he could command the battlefield, so as soon as Xun Xiu was injured, he naturally took over the Xun family army and dispatched troops.

It's a pity that the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

He had only one combat experience, that is, the Battle of Xipingwu Fort, which was still mainly defensive at that time.

At that time, he was one of the most trustworthy people in the Zhao family, and everyone shared the same hatred, so he could be used by him, like an arm.

But now it's different, even if he is higher and more powerful than he was at that time, but this army is Xun Xiu's.

To be exact, it was the Yuzhou Army, but it was marked with Xun Xiu's mark.

In this era, the army is basically like this, unless the power of the court is very concentrated, otherwise any military general will be labeled as the other party.

Zhao Hanzhang is considered strong, she also gave the Yuzhou army things, but she was still marked by Xun Xiu with her own logo, the generals in the army, four out of ten are surnamed Xun, and two are Xun in-laws, Xun Xiu was injured, Zhao Ming just revealed the meaning of directly commanding them, and the generals headed by Xun Sheng took the main general as an injury and it was not suitable to fight again, and led the troops to retreat.

Zhao Ming was furious, but in the chaos, Xun Jiajun subconsciously obeyed the orders of his generals, and he couldn't control it for a while.

Zhao Ming is notoriously bad-tempered, but they don't know that he is also very patient.

Xun Sheng and the others saw that although his face was ugly, he also retreated with the large army, so they thought they had persuaded him.

The group ran for most of the day, retreated to the central part of Sui County, basically a state of rout, and quietly ran a lot of soldiers on the road, if it weren't for Zhao Ming still having two thousand troops in his hands, plus many officials from the Yuzhou Thorn History Mansion and the Chenjun County Guard's Mansion were there, and they were restrained, the Xun family army was only afraid that it would be like four years ago, and it would directly plunder the villages and towns passing by to raise military rations.

Until dusk, the scattered Xun family army finally stopped, Xun Sheng and others knew that the army could not be chaotic, so they tried their best to gather the army.

But the army suffered a night attack, and the news that the general was injured and unconscious had long been spread throughout the army, and the army's heart was unstable, not only the soldiers, but even Xun Sheng and others were panicked.

Zhao Ming asked Changqing to rub himself with medicinal wine, tied his feet and stuffed them into his shoes, endured the pain and got up, and asked, "Is Pingyi and Pingzhong here?"

Pingyi and Pingzhong were the people Zhao Hanzhang received during the Battle of Xiping, they had three brothers, first made a trilogy, and then followed Zhao Ju and Zhao Hanzhang to fight in the south and north, and now they are the team leaders.

When Qiu Wu left, he asked them to stay with Zhao Ming with a thousand people each, and their younger brother Pingxin followed Qiu Wu to ambush him.

The two of them quickly arrived with their henchmen, and they were all selected according to Zhao Ming's requirements, smart, loyal, and each with his own ability.

or strong, or fast, or hard-hearted enough, and ruthless enough.

Zhao Ming got up and led the brothers out.

Outside, Song Zhi, Chen Siniang and other officials were already waiting, and as soon as Zhao Ming came out, several people bowed and saluted. Chinese Net

Zhao Ming said quietly, "General Xun is injured, I'll take a look."

The crowd should go down.

Zhao Ming led them to the main tent to visit Xun Xiu, Xun Xiu's personal soldiers didn't want them to see it, but as soon as Xun Xiu was injured, Zhao Ming was the person with the highest official position and the most powerful at present.

I wanted to stop it for a while, but I didn't dare to stop it.

And Zhao Ming said that he also brought the doctor with him.

As Zhao Ming walked inside, he ordered, "Go and invite all the generals, we will discuss in the main account today."

The soldiers thought that Zhao Ming had a way to make Xun Xiu wake up immediately, so he immediately went down to call someone.

Zhao Ming really brought the doctor over, but the medicine boy next to the doctor was changed, as well as the entourage brought by these officials.

Pingyi and Pingzhong also brought knives to follow Zhao Ming.

The doctor checked Xun Xiu's body and said to Zhao Ming: "The injury on General Xun's body has stopped bleeding, and he is not waking up now because of excessive blood loss, as long as he rests more, supplemented by a prescription for blood replenishment, he can wake up at noon tomorrow at the latest."

Zhao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and said with his head bowed, "That's good, that's good."

Xun Sheng and the others who came in a hurry also heard it, and they were also relieved, seeing that Zhao Ming seemed to be really bringing the officials of the Assassin Mansion and the County Guard Mansion to visit the general, although they were a little dissatisfied with him trespassing on the main tent, but they still endured it.

Xun Sheng stepped forward and said, "Zhao Junshou, running around all night, you must be tired, why don't you go and rest first, the general is here and I am waiting, and when the general wakes up, I will send someone to invite you."

Zhao Ming sat on the edge of the bed, right next to Xun Xiu, and raised his eyes to look at him lightly when he heard the words.

Zhao Ming's face was solemn, and he didn't speak, the tent was quiet for a while, and several generals who rushed over were a little flustered, and lowered their heads under his gaze.

Although Zhao Ming is the county guard of Chen County, he can't control them, but he is in charge of many things in Yuzhou, every time he comes to Zhao Hanzhang to ask for military salaries, grain, grass and armaments, etc., he mostly contacts him, to be honest, even if it is Xun Xiu, sometimes he instigates him.

Especially when his mouth is so vicious, Zhao Hanzhang has to be respectful in the face of him.

Zhao Ming didn't speak, his eyes looked at everyone one by one, the atmosphere became more and more stagnant, and everyone was even careful to swallow their saliva.

Zhao Ming saw that they all lowered their heads, and then said, "In front of General Xun, this official has three questions to ask you."

Xun Sheng immediately said: "Zhao Junshou, our general is still asleep, if you have something to say, it is better to wait for our general to wake up before ......."

Zhao Ming just raised his eyes slightly, and Chen Siniang stepped forward and shouted, "Bold! Xun Sheng, even your general didn't dare to be so rude in front of the county guard, why, General Xun was asleep, and you didn't even understand the most basic rules?"

Xun Sheng's face instantly became gloomy, and he was about to speak, when Xun Ming on the side hurriedly grabbed him and whispered, "Fourth brother!"

Because of their sudden retreat, Zhao Ming and the officials of the Assassin's Mansion had already accumulated a stomach full of anger, and they always had to let them come out.

Xun Sheng could only shut up temporarily.

Zhao Ming stared at them sharply and asked, "You retreated without permission, have you ever thought of taking orders to go out to ambush your comrades?"

Xun Sheng muttered, "They didn't go out under the orders of our general, and we didn't know about it when they went out to ambush."

Zhao Ming asked coldly, "Did this official remind General Xun that the Shi Army might attack at night?" When the scouts found out the information, did the officer immediately notify General Xun?"

The generals lowered their heads in shame, Xun Sheng's breath became rapid, but he clenched his fists and couldn't say anything to refute?

"The second question is, you retreated without authorization, have you ever thought about the people of Yuzhou behind you? Once Shi Jun enters Chen County through Sui County, what will be the consequences?"

The generals swallowed.

Zhao Ming's eyes became more and more fierce, staring at them and asking word by word, "You retreated without authorization, have you thought about the plan of a big counteroffensive, and have you thought about how to explain to Zhao Tingshi?"
