Chapter 644 Losing troops and generals
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, trusts you very much, so he handed over 100,000 troops to you, but you suffered a tragic defeat. If you escaped like this, how should I explain to the Crown Prince? Originally, I had no shame in going back. , facing the prince. But, because of you, I can make meritorious deeds, right?"
"So General Xiao, I'm really sorry. In order to return to the Crown Prince, I had to use you as a raft to ask for credit from His Highness. Presumably, our Crown Prince wants to see you very much now. Where did you come from? Let me go back from there."
Xiao Xuanrui's eyes were full of fear, and he shook his head desperately at Vice General Li.
"No, no. I don't want to go back, I don't want to see Liang Yuhuang."
"Liang Guo suffered so many casualties in this battle. Emperor Liang Yu will not let me go. He will definitely kill me. Lieutenant General Li, if you take me back, you will undoubtedly lead me to death." Push."
"Vice General Li, I beg you, I beg you, please let me go. If you let me go, I will give you a lot of money. Although I don't have any power now, I have money. I still have money." It costs a lot of money..."
Vice General Li snorted coldly, his eyes full of mockery.
"Money? Do you think, in the face of life and death, money is really that important? My life is almost gone, and money is like a pile of waste paper to me. As long as I take you back, I can explain to our Highness, I delayed returning because I wanted to take you back. With His Highness's generosity and righteousness, he will definitely not blame me."
"You are now my life-saving talisman. Do you think I am crazy or stupid to let you go for that illusory money? Xiao Xuanrui, stop daydreaming. Follow me. Let’s go…”
Without any further hesitation, Lieutenant General Li picked up Xiao Xuanrui and dragged him up from the ground.
No matter how much Xiao Xuanrui begged, he remained indifferent.
He just dragged Xiao Xuanrui for almost two hours before returning to the camp where Liang Guo was stationed.
When the soldiers guarding the gate of the military camp saw Vice General Li returning, their faces lit up with excited smiles: "Vice General Li? Are you not dead?"
"Vice General Li, are you back?"
"That's great. Send someone quickly to inform His Highness."
Lieutenant General Li had been with the Crown Prince for many years. This battle was a disastrous defeat. The Crown Prince also regretted the sacrifice of Lieutenant General Li.
Unexpectedly, Lieutenant General Li survived and returned safely.
Lieutenant General Li nodded to the soldiers with tears in his eyes. He pushed Xiao Xuanrui in front of them: "Find a rope and tie him up. The reason why we lost this battle was all because of this bitch Xiao Xuanrui... …”
"Tie him up tight. I will take him to plead guilty to His Highness."
After hearing this, everyone quickly responded.
They looked at Xiao Xuanrui and wanted to cut him into pieces. It was all because of this idiot that they had killed so many of their companions and brothers.
The culprit of such a heinous crime, even if they cut him into pieces, they probably wouldn't be able to express the hatred in their hearts.
They tied up Xiao Xuanrui, and Lieutenant General Li took the rope, like a dog, and pulled Xiao Xuanrui to Liang Yuhuang's camp.
At this moment, Liang Yuhuang was listening to his subordinates report on the number of casualties.
When he heard that there were so many casualties, he couldn't help but smash the cup in his hand.
Others in the tent knelt down one after another.
They have been with His Highness for so long, but they have never seen the Prince so angry.
This time, it was truly a humiliating defeat!
It was all planned well at first, but Nan Chu and the others discovered their plan, and they used their plan to make a wonderful comeback.
Not only were their personnel injured, but the morale of the soldiers was also severely damaged... It would be absolutely impossible for them to attack Fengcheng in a short period of time.
Today's situation seems to have gradually changed from active to passive.
The people kneeling on the ground did not dare to breathe. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to see how angry and resentful Liang Yuhuang was.
Suddenly, the curtain of the tent was lifted.
Lieutenant General Li led Xiao Xuanrui into the tent.
He let go of the tent, clasped his fists towards Liang Yuhuang and knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, the general came back so late in order to find the absconding Xiao Xuanrui. I hope your highness will not blame the general."
Xiao Xuanrui's legs softened and he fell straight to the ground.
His face was pale and he almost didn't dare to raise his head to look at Liang Yuhuang.
Liang Yuhuang glanced at Vice General Li, and then glanced at Xiao Xuanrui.
He couldn't help but curl his lips and chuckled: "Escape? What do you mean?"
Lieutenant General Li immediately described how Xiao Xuanrui used those corpses to cover up himself.
After hearing this, Liang Yuhuang's eyes were full of mockery: "Use corpses to hide yourself? Xiao Xuanrui, are you so brave?"
"I have handed over one hundred thousand troops to you, and you haven't even started to command them to fight, yet you pretend to be dead in such a cowardly way to save your own life? Do you know what is the most taboo thing on the battlefield?"
Xiao Xuanrui's body could not stop trembling.
He replied with a trembling voice: "Your Highness, spare... spare my life. Everything was planned well, but I really didn't expect that Yun Luan and the others actually detoxified the poison... They obviously knew that the Holy Spirit had already known about it." Women are poisonous, so they took precautions early."
"This... you can't blame me for this. The only blame is that they are too despicable and cunning. They actually returned all the things we sent to Fengcheng to us... I didn't know how to deal with it for a moment. I watched helplessly. Watch our troops descend into chaos."
"Those soldiers who were poisoned all lost their minds. They raised their swords and slashed at their companions. Things happened so suddenly that everything went wrong almost instantly...I...I couldn't reverse it at all. The battle situation. I, I can only use those corpses to pretend to be dead and escape."
"I still thought that if I could return to His Highness, I would definitely bear the thorn and plead guilty to atone for my sins. Even if I become a cow or a horse, I still have to make up for my mistake this time..."
Liang Yuhuang didn't listen to Xiao Xuanrui's excuse. He interrupted Xiao Xuanrui's words and said word for word: "You didn't answer Gu's question. The most taboo thing on the battlefield is that before the battle starts, you, the coach, act cowardly. Pretending to be dead, leaving a hundred thousand soldiers without a leader, allowing them to kill each other and lose their troops and generals..."
Every time he spoke a word, Liang Yuhuang's heart felt like blood was dripping.
He closed his eyes and clenched his fists with some sadness.
Liang Guo suffered more than 80,000 casualties... Such a huge number, such a tragic and humiliating battle.
