Xie Gui led a group of guards to rush to the front camp after hearing the news, and the messy scene in front of him suddenly made him cold. While constantly walking around the green smoke and messy field, the dirtiest words kept rushing out of Xie Gui's mouth, and he couldn't care about the demeanor of the main general in a hurry.

Shao Tingxuan, who was also in a depressed mood, followed Xie Gui at this time, the two of them were actually in the same embarrassing situation tonight, how could they comfort others if they were already depressed? It wasn't until Xie Gui frowned and stopped in front of the wreckage of a burning fire that Shao Tingxuan made up his mind, leaned up and coughed, "Xie Dutong ......"

"Shut up!" Unexpectedly, Xie Gui suddenly broke out, and immediately turned his face, his face full of gloom and indignation: "Shao Tingxuan, is this how you guard the siege equipment?" Under the noses of tens of thousands of elites in your front camp, let Li Yuan's soldiers and horses calmly arrange trebuchets in front of the battle? At this moment, all the siege equipment of our army has been destroyed, how will this battle be fought next? ”

Shao Tingxuan's face sank when he heard this, he was so good as the emperor's envoy to watch the army, he didn't talk about Xie Gui on weekdays, even old marshals like Pan Chongche had to give three points of thin face, and now he was scolded by Xie Gui in public, whether he intended it or not, he couldn't hold his face.

But seeing Shao Tingxuan's brows suddenly locked, he also tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and replied coldly: "Xie Dutong, who would have thought that Li Yuan would be so bold in using troops? Dare to move hundreds of paces away from my front camp. It's really my dereliction of duty, but you thank Dutong—"

Xie Gui seemed to deliberately not let the other party's words end, and interjected angrily: "Shao Tingxuan, just know that it is your dereliction of duty!" Military law is like a mountain, our army suffered such losses tonight, how can you show military discipline if you don't punish it? However, it is all thought that you are the envoy of the army, and you will judge the guilt yourself! ”

Shao Tingxuan was stunned, almost couldn't believe his ears, you Xie Gui is floating, even if Pan Chongche, the orthodox capital, how can he cure the guilt of the prison army? Then he smiled wryly: "Xie Dutong, since you know that I am an envoy of the Guanjun and come to supervise the army on behalf of His Majesty, how dare you slander me?" Is it my fault that I am alone in this tonight? I'm not at fault. ”

"What? It is unreasonable for you to dare to say that you are not at fault. Xie Gui jumped like thunder and roared loudly.

Shao Tingxuan said: "Xie Dutong, this matter is in front of Your Majesty, and I dare to report it like this." Don't forget, I led the elite army of the front battalion, not the logistics soldiers. My 10,000 former troops are desperate for siege of the city, how can they be used to guard the siege equipment for others? That's not my job in the first place! Tonight, Li Yuan made a plan to attack the west, if it weren't for your unsuccessful clan brother in the back camp, how could they succeed? ”

Xie Gui's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly riveted his strength to increase the volume and shouted, "Shut up...... In short, it was under the nose of you Shao Tingxuan that the Tang army sneaked up on the siege equipment, and it was your fault! You can't get away with it! ”

Shao Tingxuan sneered: "Guilt? If you really want to investigate the guilt, I'm afraid the culprit is not you Xie Dutong! Although I have been in the army for a short time, I also know that before the army attacks the city, it is necessary to properly protect the siege equipment, who ordered all these things to be collected and shown to the Tang army? If it weren't for you, Xie Dutong, who wanted to show off his might to Li Yuan, and deliberately put these weapons in the front camp to scare them, how could such a thing be triggered?

Pan Dutong entrusted the army to you, but you did not expect to have this ridiculous thought, and now you have made a mistake and put the blame on me...... That's it, Xie Dutong, let's go back to the Xingwang Mansion together and let His Majesty evaluate the reasoning and see who made the mistake. ”

"You ......" mentioned the moody majesty in the national capital, Xie Gui was just trembling with anger but helpless, if he really argued with Shao Tingxuan, a big celebrity who had been serving him for many years, he was afraid that he would not lose his mind.

But after calming down a little, Xie Gui had to admit that Shao Tingxuan's words were reasonable, if he hadn't intimidated his opponent in order to show off his martial arts, how could he have suffered the consequences? It's just that he never expected that Li Yuan, a bold guy, would dare to attack the rear camp at night and bomb the front camp with only more than 10,000 men and horses in his hands, and it was precisely that waste Xie Chong who guarded the rear camp......

In fact, Xie Gui kept saying that he wanted to blame Shao Tingxuan at the moment, but he was just taking the opportunity to express his extreme indignation, and tonight's defeat was equivalent to being slapped in the face after pretending, which was really humiliating.

Both, Xie Gui was secretly worried about Shao Tingxuan, a newly rising general, although he had not publicly clashed with him before, but the rumors in the army about the comparison of Xie and Shao Er's talents have not been a day or two, in the eyes of generals like Xie Gui, who rely on real military merits to seek promotion, he can't look down on Shao Tingxuan, who was born in the palace and is a eunuch, and Shao Junrong, who has smooth official luck, has shown a good ability to unify the army, how can people not be jealous?

Seeing that Xie Gui gradually fell into silence, Shao Tingxuan took the initiative to ease his expression, and said in a low voice: "Xie Dutong, the matter has come to this, why should we accuse each other at the moment of the great enemy?" It's just that Li Yuan's guy is too cunning, after all, no one thought that only those people of the Tang Army would dare to attack blatantly, right?

However, even though this Li Yuan has some means, it cannot fundamentally change the overall situation. Although our army has lost the siege equipment, the strength is still in absolute superiority, and the Tang army still can't keep Yiyang City! ”

Shao Junrong said it lightly! Previously, our army couldn't capture Yiyang City with these crossbow machines, and now there are few siege equipment left, how can we capture it after tomorrow? Is it just a hard fight by troops? Don't forget that our army is deep into the enemy's territory, and there will be one less dead and wounded, and there will be no reinforcements......" Xie Gui's face slowed down slightly, but he still frowned and said.

Shao Tingxuan shook his head and said: "Xie Dutong, if the siege equipment is destroyed, it will be destroyed, it is a big deal to let the craftsmen of the army repair and build it again, the mountains and forests in the rear are luxuriant, it will not take a few days, and our grain and grass are also sufficient!" ”

"If you wait a few more days, and there are Tang soldiers and horses rushing to support, what should I do then? Li Yuan is a town envoy, do you really think that his soldiers and horses are only more than 10,000 people? At the moment, we are indeed superior forces, but the opportunity is fleeting, and I am afraid that there will be variables! ”

Shao Tingxuan sneered and said, "Then I will eat the more than 10,000 Tang troops first!" simply solved the scourge of Li Yuan here in one fell swoop, and as soon as the commander of the Tang Army died, he sang and marched all the way unhindered. ”

Xie Gui's eyes widened, and he suddenly swallowed his saliva, maybe this proposal was extremely tempting, or revenge, and then nodded and said in a deep voice: "Well, it seems that it can only be like this!" After sunrise, Pontus personally led an army of 20,000 to annihilate the enemy on the opposite hill! After the city takes Li Yuan, he will go straight to Yiyang!

As for Shao Junrong, he will stay in the camp and be responsible for deploying soldiers and horses to build siege equipment, and Pontus will only give you three days, and you need to build 500 rushing vehicles within three days, otherwise Pontus will not agree! ”

After saying that, Xie Gui brushed his sleeves away, Shao Tingxuan stood in place, and after Xie Gui's back gradually faded away, he finally couldn't help spitting, and his face was distorted for a moment, and soon returned to normal.
