Volume 7: Ma Mingfeng Xiaoxiao, The Boy Raises His Sword Chapter 277 List
The next day.
The troops of Xiao Yuanche and Shen Jizhou formed a formation on both sides of the Zhang River.
Xiao Yuancheng defeated the generals, Zhang Shiyou killed two side generals under Shen Jizhou, Xu Jinghu was not to be outdone, and also killed two side generals.
Huang Kuijia even killed three of them with his black and gold double iron halberds, and even used his arms to return to the formation and captured two alive.
Shen Jizhou's face changed greatly in shock, and he almost wanted to withdraw his troops. If Zang Xuanba and Zhang Chunyi had not come out together, Huang Kuijia could not stop Huang Kuijia, and Huang Kuijia would have killed the Chinese army all the way.
Even so, Huang Kuijia's reputation spread throughout Bohai Prefecture in this battle.
Huang Kuijia, Zhang Buyi and Zang Xuanba were inextricably killed.
Shen Jizhou was afraid that the second general would make a mistake. After all, since the war, only two of Bohai's four heroes had been defeated. If one of these two leading men made a mistake, it would be really unbearable for Shen Jizhou.
Xiao Yuanche was also afraid that Huang Kuijia would only focus on killing happily, but Zang Xuanba was fine, and Zhang Chunyi was a scheming general.
So both sides beat drums at the same time, and with a wave of the command flag, soldiers from both sides came out, just like two torrents colliding together, fighting in a melee on the bank of Zhangshui River.
This battle lasted from morning until the red ship fell to the west. Both sides left behind countless corpses of soldiers before withdrawing their troops and returning to the camp.
As soon as he returned to the camp, Xiao Yuanche gathered in the camp with some anger.
Without him, today's battle would not only completely ruin the strategy of a quick war, but also not gain the slightest advantage on the battlefield.
In this battle, Xiao Yuanche's side won a complete victory. However, in the melee between soldiers from both sides, Xiao Yuanche did not get any advantage.
Without him, Xiao Yuanche suffered too much compared to Shen Jizhou in terms of total number of troops. Once the main forces of the two sides fought, even if Xiao Yuanche's soldiers fought hard, it would be extremely difficult to face an enemy force several times their own. .
Xiao Yuanche's general has more troops but fewer troops, while Shen Jizhou's general has fewer troops but more troops.
But on the battlefield, regardless of factors such as strategy, it is not the general who determines victory or defeat, but who has more soldiers.
Not long after Xiao Yuanche was promoted to the army, someone came to report that he had lost nearly 3,000 soldiers in this battle.
Xiao Yuanche felt extremely painful, his face was as dark as water, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Shen Jizhou is hateful! He bullied me too much with more soldiers. If we continue to fight like this, sooner or later, none of us will be beaten by him." .. ..”
Guo Baiyi comforted him: "Master, please don't worry too much. Didn't Shen Jizhou lose many soldiers and horses..."
Xiao Yuanche snorted and said louder: "The Shen Jizhou family has a great cause, so it doesn't matter if a few people die. We can't stand the trouble!"
Cheng Gongjun said: "Originally we thought of concentrating the main force to fight Shen Jizhou in the first battle, but our main force did not get any advantage. Instead, our purpose of fighting quickly was exposed. Now, Shen Jizhou will not fight with us. If we fight quickly, we will be dragged back to Jiuzhang forever!"
Xiao Yuanche snorted and said: "Let's discuss it, how should we break this game?"
Everyone expressed their opinions, but you said nothing and went on and on.
Xiao Yuanche heard what they said and knew that what they said did not have much practical significance, but everyone was just coming up with ideas for the war, so he couldn't say much.
Just when he felt it was a bit noisy, he saw the soldiers coming to report and asked what to do with the captured soldiers and whether Xiao Yuanche wanted to interrogate them personally.
Xiao Yuanche was upset and had no such patience. He waved his hand towards the visitor and said: "No matter what trial... I will cut them all!"
Guo Baiyi and Su Ling looked at each other and knew that Xiao Yuanche was indeed a little anxious.
But everyone was still discussing endlessly, and there was really no other way. Xiao Yuanche had no choice but to snort and pat the table gently.
Only then did everyone realize what was going on, and they all shut up, lowered their heads, and stopped talking.
After waiting for a moment, Xiao Yuanche looked at Su Ling and said, "Su Ling, do you have any good ideas or thoughts?"
Su Ling was startled at first, and said secretly, you can't count on everyone, just count on me, Su Ling...
Guo Baiyi also smiled teasingly at him.
Su Ling held it in for a long time, but really had no idea or solution, so he had to spread his hands and said helplessly: "I really don't have any ideas this time..."
Xiao Yuanche was so angry that he laughed and said: "You are quite straightforward. Others have no ideas and just say a few useless words. It's a good thing that you don't even bother to say these words, right?"
Su Ling smiled bitterly and said: "This is a human brain...not a computer. Besides, computers sometimes go offline and have downtime..."
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, he looked confused and said: "What are you talking about? What is a computer? What is offline? What is downtime?..."
"I..." Su Ling stuck out his tongue and said hurriedly: "It's nothing. I've been a little anxious and angry recently, so I just started talking nonsense. Prime Minister, don't take it to heart."
Xiao Yuanche then snorted and said: "Afraid to get angry? Are you getting angry because of me? Are you anxious because of me... If you can't think of an idea, then just stand there, cool your head, think hard, think about it
You have come up with an idea and you can leave."
Having said that, we must hastily end this meeting.
At this moment, Guo Baiyi suddenly said: "My lord, although the war is not going well, there is still good news..."
"What good news? Tell me quickly!" Xiao Yuanche hurriedly said after hearing this.
"Yang Pi wrote a letter. He led his troops to set off yesterday. If everything goes well, the troops will arrive at Xizhou City within three days!" Guo Baiyi replied loudly.
Xiao Yuanche patted the handsome case lightly and said with a slightly happy expression: "That's very good. Tell Yang Pi to hurry up and march. Our troops will arrive soon. We must talk to him nicely to avoid his suspicion."
Guo Baiyi nodded and said: "In this way, the day when Yang Pi's army besieged Xizhou City was the day when Ba City was relieved of the siege!"
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "I hope nothing goes wrong..."
At this moment, a figure flashed in front of the gate and a person slowly walked in.
Everyone felt a sinister look pass across everyone's face, making people feel quite uncomfortable.
Sure enough, in everyone's eyes, the person he came from was none other than Lieutenant Commander Bonin, who was wearing a dark red official uniform and a thin sword hanging from his waist.
Boning's expression was gloomy, with no expression of joy or anger. He slowly came to Xiao Yuanche, first bowed his hands and saluted Xiao Yuanche, and then slightly nodded to Guo Baiyi and Su Ling, indicating that they had met.
He seemed to turn a blind eye to the rest of the people.
"Why did Boning come here now?" Xiao Yuanche asked.
Bonin cupped his fists and said, "My lord, my subordinate Shadow Division has heard about a confidential matter in the past few days, and I came here to report it..."
After that, he walked up to Xiao Yuanche and took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeves. What was written on the paper could only be seen by Xiao Yuanche.
Boning placed these pieces of paper on Commander Xiao Yuanche's case, and whispered something in Xiao Yuanche's ear.
Xiao Yuanche's expression showed no emotion or anger, he just narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.
After Boning finished speaking, Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "Okay, I will handle this matter myself. Boning, thank you for your hard work. Go back and have a good rest."
"Here!"
As soon as Bonin turned around, his sinister eyes flashed across the faces of everyone in the hall.
This time, it seemed that he paused for a while in front of Chen Shangzhi's face, which made Chen Shangzhi feel a little embarrassed. Then Boning withdrew his eyes as if nothing had happened, strode away from the row, and disappeared into the night.
Everyone knew that when Boning came, something big and secret had happened. They were all speculating in their hearts, and the expressions on their faces became much more solemn. However, after waiting for a long time, no one saw Xiao Yuanche say anything.
Just when he was making random speculations, he saw Xiao Yuanche wave his hands calmly and said: "Everyone, we are all tired after fighting for a day... In this case, let's disperse.
Well, go back and rest early."
Everyone was suspicious. Why didn't the Lord explain it when something was clearly going on? Judging from Boning's expression, it seemed like it was not a big deal.
What exactly is this situation?
However, the lord Xiao Yuanche didn't say anything, and they had no way to ask directly. They were all stunned for a moment, then they handed over their hands and agreed, and then they all turned around and left.
Su Ling turned around and was about to leave.
Xiao Yuanche suddenly said in a deep voice: "Su Ling stays."
Su Ling turned her back to Xiao Yuanche and rolled her eyes, thinking to herself that as long as the big tent was discussing matters, she would never leave normally.
Boss, when will overtime pay be paid?
He then heard Xiao Yuanche say again: "Baiyi, you stay too."
Guo Baiyi hurriedly stopped and looked at Su Ling. Seeing Su Ling looking at him teasingly, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Wait until everyone leaves.
Xiao Yuanche then picked up some pieces of paper that Boning presented to him on the desk and said, "Baiyi, Su Ling, you two, take a look."
Guo Baiyi read it first and then handed these pieces of paper to Su Ling.
Su Ling took the paper and looked at it under the light.
But I found that there were three full sheets of paper with names written on them. Although they were all names, the names were in two colors, one part was written in red and the other part was written in black. They were arranged in no order, and the black names and the red names were mutually exclusive.
Intertwined and mixed.
Su Ling looked carefully and found that, in general, there were more names in red handwriting than in black handwriting.
After reading these three pieces of paper, Su Ling calmly handed the paper with the name written on it to Xiao Yuanche.
Xiao Yuanche calmly pressed the three pieces of paper under the inkstone, and then said to Su Ling: "Su Ling, do you recognize all the names on this paper?"
Su Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said: "Prime Minister, I don't usually socialize very much. I only know a dozen people around him. I don't recognize any of the names on that paper."
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said to Guo Baiyi: "Baiyi, tell Su Ling who these people are."
Guo Baiyi nodded and said: "Su Ling, the names on these pieces of paper are actually lists collected by Boning. The names in two colors symbolize the different identities of the people with these names. Red represents civil servants.
Black represents military commanders. They are basically some middle and lower-level officials under the lord's command, and some are the nephews and relatives of important officials under the lord's command. For example, Chen Yu is the nephew of the chief historian Chen Shangzhi."
Su Ling's heart moved, and then she nodded calmly.
Guo Baiyi added: "Although many of the people on this list have low-level official positions, most of them are officials in key government offices. As with civil servants, although most of these military generals are assistant generals and tooth generals, there are still more Captain, but it covers almost all military camps. Therefore, the personnel is complex and the scope is staggering."
"Oh, I see, I understand, kid..." Su Ling nodded calmly.
Xiao Yuanche glanced at him, and Fang snorted softly: "Do you understand? Mr. Su, I haven't told you why these people appear on this list, but you understand? Tell me, you Understand what?"
Su Ling was calm and said slowly and calmly: "Of course I understand, isn't this list the list of traitors who have plotted against Shen Jizhou and betrayed the Prime Minister..."
As he said that, Su Ling looked at Xiao Yuanche and Guo Baiyi with a determined expression.
As soon as these words came out, both of them were extremely shocked. Xiao Yuanche stood up suddenly and looked at Su Ling in disbelief for a long time. Fang was shocked and said: "Su Ling, how did you know that this was a conspiracy against Shen Jizhou?" List of traitors?”
