"Isn't it just a defeat? What are you doing with your head down?" Zhu Quanzhong looked at the generals surrounding him and said: "Winning or losing is a common thing for military officers. It was the battle of Wukang Town that year, after the main force of Xu Town was annihilated, I and I
Shi Pu continued to fight and was defeated at the foot of Shifo Mountain. What a big deal?"
The officers are all veterans, so naturally they will not be as scared as the new recruits. What they worry about are very real problems: the training period is still short, only about eight months, and they cannot defeat those extremely brutal gangs of desperadoes.
,what to do?
The most lacking thing now is time. Not only are they lacking, but the troops fighting in Zizhou and Qingzhou are also lacking. After fighting for more than half a year, the Pinglu Army, which has been in peace for many years, has somewhat adapted and is trying to learn war in war. If only one more time
It will be better in 2016, when the combat effectiveness will reach a new level, provided that the money and food can be maintained.
"Dutou, today's battle was so disastrous, and the United Army suffered heavy losses. Now it's time to focus on defense. The camp can still supply food and grass for three months, so we will hold on for three months and wait and see the situation."
"You shouldn't listen to Tuoba Renfu's nonsense this time. He is a cavalryman. If he can't be beaten, can he run away?"
"The United Army has lost more than 5,000 men, and the Pinghai Navy has also suffered from low morale. It is true that it can no longer fight."
"The Xia thieves are too fierce, a bunch of desperadoes!"
Zhu Quanzhong opened his mouth and the officers also followed suit. What they said were all frustrating and complaining, but they were also true.
The more Zhu Quanzhong listened, the more annoyed he became. A few years ago, he would have taken action to deal with these people, but now he could not do it, which made him feel helpless and sad.
Zhu Youjie sat aside blankly.
Before the small defeat of Jiegou and the fall of Bianzhou, I abandoned my official position and fled, and went through all the troubles to join my uncle. I was loyal. But in the end, my dream of counterattacking Henan came to nothing, and I could not stand in Weibo.
He was chased by Zhu Quanzhong and was in panic all day long. When he arrived in Ziqing, he worked hard for half a year. Just as he lost hope of gaining a piece of territory, he suffered a small defeat and lost all prestige.
Why is life so miserable? Zhu Youjie felt like crying.
If I had known today, I would have run away. Shao was killing people randomly again. My father is still farming outside Dangshan Township, and some people are looking for trouble for me.
"Things are still at their most critical moment. Why are you panicking when you raise your head?" Xiang Wei Er scolded: "Stand guard and wait for Li...Zhu Quanzhong to send troops. The Shao thieves retreated and occupied Wei Boxiang and defended Qizhou.
, Chengde, Cangjing, and Yiding all the states are in a panic? There is still no chance, and the battle will not be fought yet. If we persist for a few more months, there may be no improvement."
When everyone heard this, their mood did not improve a little. Now they can only count on Hebei and Hedong. Zhu Quanzhong, Wang Rong, Lu Yanwei, Wang Gao, and Luo Hongxin combined. There are more than 800,000 warriors who fight all year round, or none.
of fighting strength.
If there is really no other way, the young man would rather vote for Zhu Quanzhong who is willing to divide the feudal lord, or Li Keyong who will go to the extent of subjugating the vassal and going crazy.
Cao Yunjiang quietly observed everyone's expressions, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. In fact, from my point of view, the Shao thief has become a small force. The only suspense now is whether I can do everything I need to do while alive.
After all, those things are destined to offend others, even our own people. That is the only chance for those of us who are internal enemies.
Of course, that's in the long term. In the short term, we still have to look at the war in Hebei.
Zhu Quanzhong, damn him, give him a good fight! Show up with all the energy you need to hunt me down.
Drums sounded in the small camp. When everyone heard it, they dispersed one after another and went back to their respective groups. It was almost inevitable for the Xia thieves to take advantage of the situation and attack the camp, and they needed to cheer up and break into our retreat.

When the news was sent back to Yexian by the defeated troops, the whole city looked like the sky had collapsed.
Renfu Tuoba spat, a bunch of trash!
The peace lasts for a long time, but the brave and the cowardly. Expect such people to defend the city? Dream!
"Have a rest and then plunder all the horses and mules in the city so that you can leave them to the Xia thieves." Renfu Tuoba ordered.
The soldiers immediately went to deliver the order.
Caojun Tuoba sat outside the government office and looked around.
It looks very majestic and solemn, but officials of all sizes have already been seen, and it is said that they have gone out of the city to summon local soldiers.
Haha, how many days have he been given to complete the gathering? With that ability, it is better to find a knowledgeable warrior to be the governor, Sima, don't drive anything, at most I dare to take the slaves to copy the knife.
The seven states of Denglai are finished and may have been defended.
The main force of the suppressing troops had long been transferred to Zi, Qing, and the elite backbone of the state troops had also followed. The rest were all qualified soldiers. We originally expected Pinghai, who had been trained by Xiang Weier, to split the Seventh Army.
, and as a result, the seven thousand separatist army was defeated in an extraordinary manner. The remaining people also looked at it, and they were half a level lower.
Rely on us to stay in Denglai!
There were curses and cries down the side street, and soldiers took the opportunity to plunder horses and mules while collecting them.
Caojun Caojun wanted to take care of it, but he did. When it comes to that, the sergeants also need to vent their inner panic and anxiety, so let us go.
I know why, I think of my family.
It was the first time in my life that I had abandoned my wife and children. Ten years later, I abandoned my newlywed wife Youzang Miao'e in Yuzhou. I left my wife in Henan a few years later. My eighth wife was still in Qingzhou.
Most of them will be trapped outside.
What I miss the most is Zang Miao'e. The two wives I married before were one to the man of a Tatar chief in the steppe and the other to the man of a local tycoon in Qizhou. I felt something about both, but they were just for the sake of the previous generation.
——When the seventh wife came on the scene, I didn’t even bother to ask about her love, who she was with, and who she was with.
Young husbands should still put their career first. As a man, when he becomes successful and famous, it is normal for people to rush to show him off.
Renfu Caoyun closed his eyes silently and recalled the mountains and rivers geography of Yun, Yan, and Qiba Towns.
If we want to escape, we can only let the state and county soldiers in Denglai serve as scapegoats. When the Xia people are watching us and trying to capture the city and territory, we can lead them to escape.
We can only go south! The specific route depends on planning, which is quite challenging. There should be a lot of troops for the summer thieves, and it is not easy to escape. You have to make a careful calculation to decide who to surrender.
That thought came in the morning. Before lunch, Renfu Tuoba went to the military camp in person.
There were many people gathered inside. The general of the Wuzhou Army was earnestly urging us to stay and fight the enemy, but some people listened to me. After everyone washed the horses, fed them with fodder and millet, they finished maintaining their equipment and waited for the order to set off.
.
"Let's go!" Renfu Tuoba gave the order directly without any nonsense.
The crowd led the stolen horses and mules, put water and water under them, then got off their horses and set off towards the city.
The state soldiers watched silently, but they dared to stop him. No one wanted to say it several times, but they were all stopped by the robes.
The two thousand riders quickly left the city and disappeared into the wilderness.
The state soldier looked at you and you looked at him, and he choked on his words.
The commander went to Qingzhou and the governor disappeared. The deputy commander went out to summon the heroes from the countryside but did not return. There was still chaos in the city. How could we fight?
"The summer thieves are coming!" Suddenly no one shouted at the top of the city.
There was a "hu la la" sound, and the state soldiers rushed towards the city in unison. Don't get me wrong, they were going to fight, not to run away.
None of the sergeants who settled outside the city simply took off their military uniforms and disappeared into the streets.
There are only a few two to eight hundred people who don't have the courage to go down to the top of the city to defend it.
More than 8,000 Xia soldiers mounted their horses in the city and climbed down the city with just a drum beat. Then they opened the city gate and let the small army enter the city.
Laizhou almost went up in battle.

The good news of the Ziqing battlefield was conveyed to Xiangzhou through the 700-speed delay.
"It is said that good things come in pairs, and now it has come true." Li Keyong said with a smile: "Cai Songyang defeated the Wei army in Linhe County, captured and killed two thousand people, and Qi Bizhang defeated two Xiang guards, and even defeated Jimo, Changyang, and Ye County."
Before Luo Shaowei expelled Li Gongquan, the army was weak and the troops were weak and the horses were strong, so he sent Liyang Town General Chen Yuanyu to lead 7,000 people to Linhe. I supervised a small army to follow, intending to defeat the Xia army in one go and regain Caojun Jiangzhou.
Halfway through the march, I heard that my father had passed away and turned back to Weizhou. Chen Yuanyu was eager to make a contribution and took the initiative to go south. He first defeated the two thousand soldiers who stayed on the north bank of Deshengdu. Then he retreated westward, but was attacked by Tian.
Only when the German army attacks them head-on will they be honest.
As soon as Luo Hongxin died, the war between Xia and Wei began.
Luo Shaowei was dealing with the funeral, and Li Keyong took the time to straighten out the affairs of Xiangwei. I thought that when he went north to have a small battle with Caojunjiang, he would have to hoard small troops in Xiangwei to suppress the place. If this is the case, Caojun
Jiangzhou is still fighting like this, how about keeping some people's belongings?
"The war in Ziqing is coming to an end." Zhao Guangfeng was having a banquet with Xiangzhou scholars and local tycoons. Xie Tong was beside Li Keyong as counselor. He only heard me say: "Yimi has been attacked, Laizhou has been defeated again, and Zizhou is under siege.
, there is only one Qingzhou left. Teacher Wang is in danger, and there is nothing we can do. I originally wanted to agree to the conditions, but now I can accept them."
"At this moment, you now want to give Wang Shifan Jingnan Jiedushi." Li Keyong said: "When you are willing to negotiate terms, you often offer the best terms, but we always cherish it.
. Wang Shifan has only one way to surrender now, and you want to give up the rest."
Xie Tong thought for a while and advised: "Your Majesty, although Wang Shifan must die, he still has a large number of troops and the city defense is also very complete. If you are determined to resist, you can still do it after a few months. Why bother with me?"
What? Give me a governor, or join the court as an official. The palace has a good reputation and promised to protect the Wang family and wealth. Wang Shifan must have been suspicious and surrendered after saying it was a deal."
Li Keyong thought for a while, nodded and said: "Let me serve as an official in the court. The eyes are the eyes and the heart is the purity. That guy is too annoying."
Wang Shifan was fond of Confucianism and was very good at writing. From then on, he often wrote essays criticizing Caojunjiang.
Usually before I took possession of Zhang Hui, Wang Shifan had just released a big essay. What a piece of shit! You and Zhang Hui love each other, and you have no children, so you want him to be the one to blame?
"Your Majesty's narrow-mindedness has always been common in ancient times." Xie Tong immediately flattered him.
Li Keyong shook his head and laughed. Those sycophants spoke in a weird way.
"Send the envoy quickly. You have no arrangements until Ziqing is pacified." Li Keyong said.
