"General......

As soon as the figure appeared, the body of the soldier who was leading Zhao Ming in front of him immediately trembled, and the whole person seemed to become energetic all of a sudden......

Seeing the soldier's actions, the person who came out was obviously very pleased, nodded and said, "Okay, I will continue to monitor your post......"

"Obey the order...... The soldier didn't question the words of the person in front of him at all, and turned around and went up the city wall directly after speaking......

"Hahaha, it's really making the old man wait...... I don't know how many spies the old man sent to the capital, but in the end, they all seemed to sink into the sea and there was no news, and now I see this ...... Master, the old man is relieved......"

It's no wonder that it has aroused the doubts of others, Zhao Ming reported that his family came from the capital, and it was revealed from beginning to end that Zhao Ming was the resource they had been waiting for for a long time, but why did he dress like a monk make him very puzzled......

Zhao Ming seemed to see the doubts of the person in front of him at a glance, smiled and said, "The little monk is the person the general is waiting for...... I don't know the name of the general, how to call ......"

was asked by Zhao Ming, the man hurriedly clapped his hands and said: "I forgot that I haven't introduced myself yet, haha, the old man Dongfang is proud, and he is the general and marshal of the Northern Expedition this time......"

His words made Zhao Ming's eyes pause, Zhao Ming carefully looked at the old man in front of him again, he thought that this old man might be a small general, but he didn't expect this bad old man to be the general of the Northern Expedition, it was really surprising......

"You ......" Zhao Ming glanced back and forth at the bad old man in front of him and his clothes that were not gorgeous and shabby, and he really couldn't see the appearance of a marshal at all......

Seeing Zhao Ming's expression, Dongfang Ao was able to guess what Zhao Ming was thinking, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Eh, the old man is shallow in learning and sparse, which has led to the defeat and retreat of our army from beginning to end, and now it has been pushed to Xiangyang, losing such a large piece of territory......"

This is still hunted down all the way to this point, eh, it is estimated that this Xiangyang is really going to be lost......

Looking at the lost look of the old man in front of him, Zhao Ming didn't know what to say, he couldn't say that he would definitely be able to keep Xiangyang when he came to this and would go out of the city to fight back, even if he really said it, it was estimated that the old man in front of him would be regarded as a joke, as for Zhao Ming's own purpose...... Zhao Ming lowered his head and glanced at the lost Dongfang Ao, and his heart couldn't help twitching, the other party was like this, how could Zhao Ming open his mouth and say, "Give up the supreme command of the army and the position of marshal...... In this way, Zhao Ming felt a little like beating the water dog......

"General Dongfang, can I sit down first? I haven't been able to take a good rest in order to rest in order to hurry up during this time, and besides, I guess General Dongfang should also tell me about the situation at this moment......"

As soon as Zhao Ming's words came out, the awkward atmosphere surrounding the two suddenly became much less, and Dongfang Ao patted his head and said, "Eh...... I really forgot, I was slack, I was slack, hurry up and sit inside, this place is not as comfortable as the palace in the capital, so the master will sit down and rest first...... "Dongfang arrogant Zhao Ming sat in a position, and he sat opposite Zhao Ming......

The two were silent for a while, and in the end, it was Dongfang Ao who broke the silence......

"Actually, our army is going out, and the army's heart is shaken......" Dongfang Ao intervened in the subject as soon as he opened his mouth......

However, Zhao Ming didn't seem surprised by this, nodded calmly and calmly, and did not express his opinion......

Dongfang Ao glanced at Zhao Ming, and saw that Zhao Ming didn't have anything to say, so he continued to speak: "The enemy army pushed our army all the way to Xiangyang, chasing after it, which made the morale of our army already low, and now ...... The city of Xiangyang has reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, even if I am careful, I can't completely suppress the news, and now this matter is widely spread in the army, what is the purpose of being a soldier? Go to the battlefield? Kill the enemy to serve the country? No, a lot... Well, it should be said that the vast majority of people who are willing to join the army themselves do so that they can eat a full meal in the army, and in this era, a full meal is rare for those ordinary people......"

"Eh, but now that our army has gradually fallen to this step in Xiangyang, the old man can foresee that the day of the food run out will be when my Xiangyang is broken......" Speaking of this, Dongfang Ao's eyes revealed a deep hatred and regret......

Zhao Ming naturally knew the importance of grain and grass, and he didn't go to Xiangyang first to get to this step, but he was relieved to think about it, Xiangyang is just a small city after all, and there is not much grain storage at ordinary times, and he didn't realize that the line would be pulled to Xiangyang so quickly, and the grain and grass in the city were naturally limited at this time, and it was almost time to run out of food if it could last until now......

"That's right...... I heard that our army was able to hold this line of defense when retreating into Xiangyang because of a soldier, I don't know which soldier is which?" After being silent for a long time, Zhao Ming suddenly changed the topic......

In fact, Zhao Ming heard about this incident on the way here, and now after seeing the generalissimo of the Northern Expedition himself, he is even more convinced of this rumor......

Zhao Ming thought that he would offend the generalissimo by asking this, but he didn't expect Dongfang Ao to laugh immediately after hearing Zhao Ming's question. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Haha, that's right, that soldier has been temporarily appointed by me as the battalion commander at the moment, and now he is in charge of the city wall inspection and guards......"

Dongfang Ao's words made Zhao Ming nod his head, from the meeting to the present, Dongfang Ao finally let Zhao Ming see one of his advantages, that is, he is very virtuous to his back, not jealous of talents, capable people make good use of them, and put the right people in the most suitable position......

"Fortunately, now that the Jin Dynasty has begun to withdraw its troops, it is estimated that their grain and grass should also be exhausted, after all, they are an expeditionary force, and they consume more grain and grass than us, not to mention that there are few villages and towns along the way for them to replenish resources, and now that the resources are exhausted and the war has begun, the withdrawal of the army has also given our army a chance to breathe......" Speaking of this, Zhao Ming obviously dared to Dongfang Ao's sense of happiness......
