The army of the bearded men defended their own camps and did not dare to act rashly. On the side of Shuofang City, the military families of the Northern Army who returned to the city were ushered in. Wang Rong's task of taking care of the military family is really easy, and he is really happy without the attack of the Bearded Man.

But when Wang Rong rode into Shuofang City, his mood became heavy, the city wall was filled with arrows, the city gate was full of blood, and along the way, he did not see a single intact dwelling. And many people hung white flags in front of their homes.

The news of Wang Rong's entry into the city spread quickly, and Qin Ke quickly sent people to take over the general's subordinates, and then summoned Wang Rong and Zhang Genghuang to the Zhengbei General's Mansion to discuss matters.

In the main hall of the Zhengbei General's Mansion, Qin Ke sat upright, on the left hand side were the five generals of the Northern Army, and on the right hand side, there were Wang Rong, Wu Mo, Lin Chong and Zhang Gengxiao, the generals of the county army.

Qin Ke didn't sell it, and said directly: "According to the news from the scouts, now on the other side of the river, there is an army of more than 50,000 people stationed in the Badman, if my expectations are correct, it should be the Badbeard Khan who personally led the troops." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Rong was silent, Wu Mo's eyes widened in surprise, and Lin Chong said excitedly: "Is this true? Zhang Gengxiao felt that his wound hurt slightly, and it was almost healed.

And He Lun's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was eager to try. Zhu Liyu and Duan Sijing glanced at each other, their faces were ugly. Fan Yong and Feng Yu's faces were gloomy, and their hands were covered with sweat.

Qin Ke looked at everyone's expressions and sighed: "If it had been put aside, Lao Tzu would have copied the guy and crossed the river with his brothers to kill these bearded dog thieves." But we have just experienced a great battle, and the soldiers are tired and need to rest. It takes time for the Pingbei Army to arrive, and it takes even more time for the Eastern Army to support on its back. So we can't take the initiative to attack, our first task is to defend Shuofang City, as long as Shuofang City is not lost, we have a good rest for a few days, and the soldiers will be able to fight the Bearded Man alive again. ”

Wu Mo was the first to speak: "General, although we want to guard Shuofang City, it doesn't mean that we can't do anything else. This bearded man fights, and attaches the most importance to the use of scouts. We have enough cavalry in our army, and we can completely start a scout battle with the Bearded people along the line of the big river, so that the enemy can't figure out our reality and reality. ”

Qin Ke looked at the black ink that jumped out, and asked with a smile: "Old Wu, are your hands itching again?" Okay, since you proposed it, then it's up to you to take the Shuofang County cavalry out of the city and start a scout war with the Bearded People, how about it? ”

Wu Mo bowed his hand and saluted: "The last general is ordered!" ”

Wang Rong looked at the high-spirited Wumo, and his temples suddenly had a headache. It is not easy for Shuofang soldiers to have a cavalry unit, is this Wumo crazy for war exploits? So proactive to fight the Bearded Man.

Qin Ke looked at the remaining generals and announced the next order: "In the next few days, your task is to settle the soldiers, recuperate, and wait for reinforcements. Okay, let's go down, Zhong Ming, you stay for a while. ”

Wang Wei was kept alone by Qin Ke, and the other generals withdrew from the main hall one after another and returned to their respective troops to see that they were settled.

Qin Ke looked at Wang Rong and said with a smile: "Zhong Ming, this time you have done your best to protect the military dependents, and you have done a good job. ”

Wang Rong said modestly: "This is all the credit of the general and the long history arranged in advance, and Rong is just Xiao Gui Cao Sui." ”

Qin Ke said with a smile: "You, you, too modesty is pride." Any idea why I let you stay? ”

Wang Rong shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

Qin Ke said with a mysterious expression: "I left you here just to arrange a task for you, I have a very important prisoner here, and I need to arrange a reliable person to escort you." Originally, I wanted to send it out overnight, but it was delayed by the military situation. ”

Wang Rong bowed and saluted: "Humble and orderly, I don't know this prisoner?" ”

Qin Ke thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to tell you, it's the former Shuofang County Commander Meng Ao, and the imperial brother asked me to send this person back to Yuxi for interrogation." Now that the army is stationed in Dahe for the record, facing off with our army across the river, the Northern Army can't draw out manpower, so it can only grieve you to go on this trip. ”

The reason why Wang Rong was allowed to go this way, Qin Ke was deliberate, the eastern governor Lin Chong had just returned to Shuofang City, and the soldiers of the eastern governor's mansion had just returned home, so they had to travel a long way, which was too unkind. As for Zhang Gengxiao, the lieutenant of the central region, his injuries have not completely healed, and the trip to escort the prisoners must be powerless. picked and chosen, and had to choose Wang Rong.

Wang Rong had some doubts, and he said, "The soldiers of the Western Governor's Mansion? Are they going to follow me? ”

Qin Ke shook his head and said, "Foreign soldiers are not allowed to enter the capital by holy decree, and the soldiers of the Western Governor's Mansion can follow you back to the city, and then you will escort Meng Ao to Xucheng with your personal guards." ”

When Wang Wei heard Qin Ke's words, he had a score in his heart, and he said directly: "The last general understands, and the last general will prepare." ”

Qin Ke grabbed Wang Rong, who turned around and wanted to leave, and ordered: "This escort of Meng Ao can only be done in secret, not by hype, when you arrive at Xuxi, you will be handed over directly to the imperial brother, and anyone else who asks for a prisoner can't give it, understand?" ”

Wang Rong looked at Qin Ke's serious face, nodded solemnly, gave a military salute, and said, "The last general understands, take care of the general!" ”

Only then did Qin Ke let go of him and returned a military salute.

Wang Rong quickly found his troops and said to Li Sujie: "We need to quickly reorganize our troops, and the general ordered us to go out of the city and go west immediately." ”

When Li Sujie heard the order, the whole person was blinded, what is the situation? What about fools? I just returned to Shuofang City, and my ass is still hot, and I'm about to set off again?

Li Sujie pulled Wang Rong and asked, "Isn't it?" What's the situation? Why are you leaving so soon? ”

Wang Rong smiled and said, "Back to the city? Are you unhappy? ”

When Li Sujie heard this, his head didn't hurt anymore, and his legs were sharp, and he asked happily: "Really?!" ”

Wang Rong nodded, and Li Sujie turned around and ran to rectify the army. Wumo had already left the city with the cavalry, but the cavalry of the Western Governor's Mansion was left behind by Qin Ke.

Chu Luxu looked at Wang Rong with a sad face, and asked: "Captain, this Wusima has led his troops out of the city, why did he leave my cavalry behind?" ”

Wang Rong said while sorting out his equipment: "Wu Sima's days in the Western Governor's Mansion are not long, I think the general's meaning is to let him return to the Northern Army as a cavalry general. Why haven't you put the army in order? Let's go back to the city! ”

When Chu Luxu heard this, he immediately came to his senses. Going home? What a long time, they have been away for a few months, and they have long been homesick.

Wang Rong led Wang Mao and Yishi's personal guards, and drove an unpretentious carriage to the back gate of the Zhengbei General's Mansion, where he picked up Meng Ao. Then the group quickly crossed the streets and alleys and caught up with the large force of the Lu army.

Wang Rong left Shuofang City, and the confrontation between Shuofang City and the Badge Battalion to the north of the river continued. Because of the fainting of the Khan, the Khan gave orders.

After waiting for the Mo Si to improve slightly, the Gully ordered the camp to retreat north, and at the same time ordered the Eagle Guardian Army and other Bade troops in Yunzhong County to retreat north.

Loot as much as you can along the way, and focus on a quick withdrawal. In this way, the war between the Devil and the Yongguo ended in such a detrimental form.
