Chapter 2298 The Black Hand Companions Reunite Again
Bian Fanzhi gritted his teeth: "Huan Qian and others are cowardly and incompetent, and He Danzhi and other generals are often defeated generals. They have no courage to fight against the Beifu army. Once Liu Yi's army comes to Jiangling, they will definitely run away and don't care at all.
Go up and take brother Sima Dezong. When the time comes, you can take brother Sima Dezong and go with them to Huan Zhen. If Jiangling is lost and many of the soldiers' families are in the city, then most of Huan Zhen's men will be defeated. This time it is true.
It's not like last time. So, if you persuaded Huan Zhen to go to Hou Qin, he probably wouldn't refuse again."
Tao Yuanming nodded: "Then I'll do as you say. Let's go back to Jiangling now. However, I can't appear in public, you know."
Bian Fanzhi didn't reply, turned around and walked out of the tent, while Tao Yuanming looked at his leaving back with a strange smile on his lips.
Baling, the main camp of the Beifu Army.
Liu Yi's face was livid, his eyes swept over the faces of the generals on both sides of the tent, and finally landed on He Wuji's face. He stopped moving, and he gave a heavy "hum": "Wuji, what's going on?"
Until now, is there anything else you want to say?"
He Wuji's eyes sparkled with tears and he bit his lip tightly: "It's all my fault. I was greedy for success and did not listen to the good advice of Taoism. As a result, I lost this battle. I will bear all the consequences of this battle. Even if
I have no objection to depriving me of all military positions and titles, reducing me to a white body, and joining the army with a crime, as long as I am given a chance to take revenge myself!"
Liu Daogui said quickly: "Brother Xile, as the deputy this time, I also have an unshirkable responsibility. I am willing to take the blame together with Brother Wuji."
More than ten generals who participated in this battle came out to salute at the same time, and said in unison: "I would like to accept the punishment together with Brother Wuji and Brother Daogui."
Liu Yi curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing? Can you all undo the losses in this battle if you join the army for nothing? This military meeting now is not to investigate responsibility. Wuji and I
, and the Taoist regulations have been jointly signed, and I will demote myself and stay in the army to serve the crime. But listen carefully, if there is such a big defeat next time, I am afraid that everyone from me to you will be dismissed directly.
With a recall, there is no chance of a comeback."
There was a hint of joy in everyone's eyes, and He Wuji said sternly: "Huan Zhen's troops are indeed a formidable enemy that we have never seen since the founding of the Yi Dynasty. This time we are facing each other face to face, and the difference in strength is not big. There is nothing to say about our defeat.
I'm afraid Lu Zongzhi's troops are no match. I suggest staying in Baling temporarily and ordering Lu Zongzhi to camp in Dangyang area and not to fight Huan Zhen. If Huan Zhen divides his troops, our chance will come. If he attacks by force,
If Lu Zongzhi succeeds, we will attack Jiangling."
Liu Daogui shook his head: "Jiangling City has always been strong. Even if Huan Zhen divides his troops and leaves only a few thousand soldiers and horses for defense, we may not be able to conquer it for a while. What's more, we don't know anything about the intelligence in Jingzhou area now.
The progress of this period was too fast, and there was no time to spread the spies here. We were ambushed and defeated in Qingpingyuan this time, and we also suffered from insufficient intelligence. Xianzhi, do you have any news to report from the spies you sent? "
Xu Xianzhi, who was sitting in a corner of the tent and writing furiously, raised his head and said calmly: "Jingzhou has always had its own system and is very exclusive. Both its customs and dialects are very different from those in other places. Only people born here can
, so that people may not be suspected, but in the past, most of my spies were people from Wu. Now if I want to select new spies, I have to choose them from the surrendered troops of Jingchu, which will take some time."
Liu Yi shook his head and sighed: "If I had known, I should have quickly marched into Jiangling and captured the city. As long as the army entered the city, Huan Zhen would not have taken it back so easily. At least, I could welcome back His Majesty and King Langya, so that he would not be
We are so passive, but it's too late to say anything now. The enemy situation in Jiangling is unclear, and we must not act rashly. If we are ambushed again and lose the main force, then this Western Expedition may not be able to continue. Xianzhi, you have to speed up and find out.
Gangneung’s…”
Xu Xianzhi suddenly smiled slightly: "Xile, although my spies here won't be able to work for a while, it's not that we don't have old friends here. There is an old friend who is quietly coming to see you right now."
Liu Yi's eyes lit up: "Is this him you are talking about?"
Xu Xianzhi nodded seriously and said: "He is in a safe place. You also know that it is not convenient for him to show up directly now."
Liu Yi stood up and strode out: "The military discussion will be here for the time being. Please lead the way."
Half an hour later, Liu Yi, dressed as a cook and miscellaneous soldier, led by Xu Xianzhi, also dressed as an auxiliary soldier, walked into an inconspicuous small tent in the supply camp. A white-haired man who looked like
An old soldier in his fifties, with a stooped back, was sweeping the ground with a broom. Liu Yi's voice sounded behind him: "Yuan Ming, long time no see."
Tao Yuanming stopped what he was doing and turned around slowly. A human skin mask fell from his hand, revealing his delicate face. He smiled slightly: "Xile, I will let you hug this beauty."
Gui, how are you going to thank me for such a big favor?"
Liu Yi walked up to Tao Yuanming and sat down on a bunk where the soldiers slept. He looked at the mat that was stained with sweat and crawling with insects and ants, and sighed softly: "This damn place is really hot and uncomfortable.
, if we stay any longer, many of our soldiers may get sick. Yuanming, you introduced Liu Tingyun to me just to protect yourself. After all, I know everything about your activities at Huanxuan's place. Now
Now that I'm in power, I might expose you to the slaves one day. This can be regarded as hush money."
Tao Yuanming smiled and shook his head: "You two are the two current guards of the Mafia. Aren't I keeping the secret secret? It's just that I'm a little disappointed that you didn't accept my favor and let me join as the new guard. Could it be?
Is Meng Chang stronger than me?"
Liu Yi sneered and said: "It's just that you yourself have never been interested in mafia guarding. Even the position of White Tiger was given to me by you. Yuan Ming, your former guard chose to quit the organization when it was in the most critical moment.
Isn’t it a bit too greedy to wait until the situation improves and then want to come back?”
Tao Yuanming sighed: "That's all, there's no need to mention the past. After all, we were once the same people. Even now, the existence of the mafia is still a secret. Even if I am no longer one of the guards, I can still be one of your guards."
Aren’t your friends, like your new wife, also of great use to you?”
Liu Yi curled up his lips: "Come this time, tell me what you can do for me and what you want."
