Chapter 60: What a Zhao Ming!
"What?"
Seeing a young messenger panting in, Song Zhe didn't say anything to let the other party rest, and asked directly.
The young soldier took a breath, and then hurriedly said, "It's.... Be.... It's back! ”
"Coming back?"
Song Zhe frowned, what does this mean by having no head and no tail?
"Getting to the point!"
"Report.... Long... Sir! It's Zhao Ming... Battalion Commander Zhao, he's back! ”
This time, the young man made it clear, but it made Song Zhe even more scratchy.
You kid finished it in one go!
"Go on!"
"Old Song, let's let this brother take a breath first!"
Zhang Wei felt that something was wrong, and he hadn't mentioned it in one breath, so it was useless to be anxious.
But Song Zhe was in a hurry, in fact, it wasn't just him, everyone was a little anxious.
For Zhao Ming, in fact, everyone is quite impressed, he is a young man who speaks wildly and is extremely arrogant.
So everyone is wondering, will this kid be a thief?
After all, the previous behavior of not carrying a gun, only a knife and a horse, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you are preparing to surrender to the enemy.
But then I think about it, that's not right!
Since you have surrendered to the thief, how can you return it?
Seeing this, Song Zhe could only wait patiently, but fortunately, after about a dozen breaths, the young man was able to breathe evenly.
"Sir, and all the staff officers, Battalion Commander Zhao is back!
Just now, a lot of people! I also brought back a lot of horses! And a cart of stuff! ”
"Getting to the point!"
Song Zhe was already a little impatient, who recruited this messenger? Oh, forgot, this is a relative who doesn't come out of five suits.
"Sir, Zhao Ming has been running back and forth for nearly a hundred miles this time.
Entered the city at three o'clock last night, killed Li Shuiwa before the hour, and captured hundreds of thieves! ”
When the messenger said this, the room fell completely silent.
After a while, there was a gasp.
Someone couldn't help but take out a cigarette and began to smoke it to themselves, there was little green smoke, and the rising smoke left an unbelievable expression on everyone's face.
Even if they have won many battles, after countless wars of all sizes, Song Zhe and Zhang Wei are dumbfounded.
"You.... You're not lying? Is that really the case? After being silent for a long time, Song Zhe couldn't help but affirm.
"There is no possibility of lying! The commander has now been identified, and Battalion Commander Zhao brought back the heads of Li Shuiwa and several of her cronies. ”
The messenger shook his head, yes or no, and soon became aware of it.
"But there's anything else to report?" Song Zhe continued to ask. I don't think the details are very detailed.
As a result, people really have a lot of things to report.
The messenger gave a military salute, and then continued, "Battalion Commander Zhao, in less than half an hour, more than 1,000 people were broken, more than 2300 enemies were killed, and more than 600 people were captured.
However, considering that there were too many prisoners and it was difficult to supply these bandits with food from the people in the city, it was convenient to behead them one by one the next day. ”
Hearing this, a group of staff officers finally found an opportunity to speak, and they criticized him one after another.
"It's too unruly."
"This is in the army, everything needs to be reported, how can this be?"
The discussion was endless, and Song Zhe was a little impatient when he heard it, so he waved his hand.
"That's it! Don't talk about it first, Zhao Ming led the crowd to 800, broke the city overnight, and broke 1,000 people, have you ever done it? ”
These words made everyone speechless.
It seems that the self-patriarch already admires this Zhao Ming.
But this is normal, this kind of thing sounds incredible, but I didn't expect it to be done by Zhao Ming.
A mere 800 men, without a cannon or a gun, with just a horse and a sword, took down a city guarded by a thousand fierce bandits.
Who can guarantee that this can be done before it happens?
"Are you okay?"
Suddenly, Song Zhe felt that something was wrong, and the messenger hadn't left yet.
"Back to sir, there are indeed some things that have not been reported."
"Then don't say it quickly!"
The messenger is also helpless, let me say a paragraph, you are surprised for a while, I can't help it.
"After Battalion Commander Zhao publicly executed all the bandits this morning, he went out of the city directly, but he only walked twenty or thirty miles before he encountered bandits.
The bandits are Han Laosan in Weinan, as well as Liu Cripple, and Cao Blind in Weibei. ”
Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly, and they all knew about these bandits.
The current crackdown on bandits was large-scale, and the purpose was to wipe out the bandits and bandits in the entire Shaanxi Province.
They have made a record of some of the bandits, and many of them are on their list.
"The three bandits are united, about a thousand people, and they want to make trouble!"
"And then?"
Hearing this, some people asked impatiently.
Being stared at by a group of commanders, the young messenger was still a little nervous, and took a deep breath, "Battalion Commander Zhao divided about three hundred horsemen, and broke it!"
About 500 of the 1,000 men were beheaded, and all the rest were surrendered, and now they have all been escorted to the camp to be released. ”
With that, the headquarters fell into a deathly silence again.
The mentality of everyone at the moment can be described as a wave of unsettled waves, and everyone can still think of some excuses to belittle Zhao Ming, a poor boy who has no backing.
It's really hard to put your mouth right now.
What else can I say?
Isn't this Zhao Mingmo the reincarnation of Gu Zhimeng?
Or do these bandits have no brains and stick their necks for this kid to chop off?
Needless to say, how fierce the bandits are, everyone has long known how difficult this group of bandits is.
Why did the fierce bandits who looked fierce on weekdays become little sheep in front of Zhao Ming, this kid?
"How's the battle damage?"
Song Zhe was also shocked, but after all, he was a well-informed veteran of the battlefield, and his mentality calmed down quickly, so he asked about the battle loss ratio.
"The total casualties before and after did not exceed 300, about 130 people were killed, 20 were seriously wounded, the rest were only slightly wounded, and they were soon able to continue fighting."
The messenger hesitated, as if he had something else to say, "And.... Battalion Commander Zhao has a sentence for me to bring a sentence.... I don't know if to talk about it...."
"Say!"
Song Zhe is in a very complicated mood now, and even desperately wants to meet this Zhao Ming in person and ask how this kid did it. Don't you have three heads and six arms?
"Battalion Commander Zhao said.... Say that you are satisfied with this generous gift, sir? He also said that he had another generous gift to give to you, sir, and asked him to come over in person. ”
Hearing this, Song Zhe was slightly stunned, and a look of anger appeared on his face.
"Huh! What a Zhao Ming, he is so arrogant after making a little effort, what? Do you want me to go over and sweep the couch in person to greet you? ”
As he spoke, he snorted coldly, stood up and walked out.
"I'd like to see what else he can give!"
For meritorious officials, Song Zhe naturally likes and appreciates them, but Zhao Ming's arrogance still makes him unhappy.
