When Luo Chuan and his five thousand Lijun Qingqi arrived outside Liangcang City, Zhao Wuji and Zhao Gui's uncle and nephew had already led a group of captains and military commanders to wait outside the camp gate. When the five thousand cavalry came close, Luo Chuan's cavalry stopped.
When the column came ten meters in front of everyone, all the generals knelt down and saluted, shouting "See you, Lord Prefect!"
Luo Chuan raised his hand and said, "Everyone, get up."
After all the generals got up, Luo Chuan turned over and dismounted, handed the horse rope to Siqi who was following him, turned around and joked to Zhao Wuji, who was coming up to him, "Why did Uncle Zhao organize such a big battle? It seems that I, the new governor, are not approachable enough."
ah."
Zhao Wuji also smiled and said, "At any rate, the generals in my Gan Yuan Army have seen the Prefect from a distance on the high platform of the Gan Yuan martial arts arena, but most of Zhao Gui's Shang Yuan Army have never even seen the Prefect in person.
, Now that the Grand Administrator has come to the former army camp in person, it can be regarded as a personal expedition. How can we not let everyone pay a visit?"
"Yes, this is the first time for me to meet Zhao Gui," Luo Chuan looked at the young general who was following Zhao Wuji and smiled, "Zhao Gui, Zhao Gui, really has a rich face, and the battle was so good
That's not bad, no wonder every time my uncle mentions you in the letters he writes to me, he means pride."
Zhao Gui never expected that these words would be what he said when he met this noble man for the first time. Especially when he heard the words "our uncle", he almost broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't help but lower his head and salute, "Thank you, Lord Prefect, for the compliment."
, Zhao Gui fought well in this battle, all thanks to the good command of the prefect and uncle, Zhao Gui did not dare to take credit."
"Uncle Zhao is naturally a meritorious commander. No one can take away or erase your credit. Is there anything in this world that is more practical than military merit?" Luo Chuan looked at the people who were already divided on both sides.
The general said, "Watching as a soldier earns military merit. If you covet other people's military merit, you will be beheaded. If you want to go to the battlefield to earn more military merit for yourself, isn't it just as natural as sleeping with your own mother-in-law?"
All the generals burst into laughter upon hearing this, and even Zhao Wuji, who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, rarely smiled.
"Let's go, Uncle Zhao, have something to eat, and prepare meals for Lijun Qingqi. We haven't had a proper meal since we drove all the way from Zhengcang City. The soldiers are all hungry," Luo Chuan said as he pulled
Zhao Wuji walked towards the camp with his arms. "Everything is ready. Your appearance reminds me of you when you were a child..." Zhao Wuji followed Luo Chuan and walked side by side with him. He turned back to Zhao Gui and said, "Shout a few people."
The captain and the five lieutenants from Lijun Qingqi come to my tent to eat together."
Zhao Gui said yes and followed the two captains inside.
When we arrived at the Chinese army's tent, the food was indeed ready. Luo Chuan naturally took the seat of honor. Si Qi knelt down next to him. The young female Taoist had her own seat. Luo Changgong and other five military candidates were listed on the left and right.
Next to them are Zhao Wuji, Zhao Gui and several captains.
The atmosphere during the meal was extremely lively because Luochuan was unexpectedly peaceful and approachable.
When the meal was finished, several captains, Luo Changgong and the other five light cavalry officers withdrew.
Then Zhao Wuji's expression turned solemn, and he asked Luo Chuan, "Senior Silversmith suddenly went south a few days ago. When he came back the next day, he only said that you were attacked. What happened in the end?"
"They are from the Dingji Sect. Before I came here, I heard from Shadow that the prefect of the Yun family in Jincheng was also assassinated. It was probably for those of us who took the lead in provoking the civil war. I just didn't hear about that powerful person. The governor of Jincheng County is extremely worried about this. It seems that the Dingji Sect has indeed declined. It has reached this level of accepting the weak and fearing the strong." Luo Chuan said indifferently, "Let him go for now, but be careful in your future actions." Just be careful."
Zhao Wuji looked solemn but did not say anything else. He just nodded, "The prefect has traveled through the land of Sancang in the past few days. He changed the name of Pingyang to Shunping. This is the intention of the wealthy merchants. He publicly executed the spies of Guang County in Zhengcang. To reassure the common people, once such a tone is set and temporary officials are sent here to leave the city, things will not be dealt with without starting. Moreover, the effect of such an action on quickly stabilizing the people's hearts in a place is obvious. I have ordered people to do so. Spread these two things throughout the army, and then tell the people through the mouths of the troops stationed in various places, and you will hear feedback in a few days."
Luo Chuan said while eating a piece of big cake, "Uncle Zhao still understands me, there is no problem with this arrangement."
Zhao Wuji added, "It will take time for Shen Cheng's body to recover, but there will be no problems with Jiuge in Zhengcang City for the time being. I am a little curious about one thing. The Grand Administrator led Lijun Qingqi directly into the hinterland of the central part of Yongchang County." Then he returned the same way and forced Meng Zian to speed up his return south. During this period, Meng Zian made no move to divide his troops to intercept?"
Luo Chuan shook his head, chewed the big cake and thought for a moment before saying, "I was originally afraid of running into Meng Zian's army, so I chose a slightly conservative route. Otherwise, in terms of the defensive pressure encountered head-on, maybe Then we can really attack Yicheng City. Compared with the northern and southern areas of Yongchang County, the defense structure in central Yongchang is really a mess. No wonder there was that disaster more than ten years ago." He paused and returned to the original topic. , "But Meng Zian really didn't send any soldiers to outflank me. I was a little worried about this, so there were many scouts along the way south. Once I found out that Meng Zian was trying to cut off my retreat, I So he led his army to retreat to Tongcang City, but it turned out that none of it was used. This Meng Zian... is a bit interesting."
Zhao Wuji nodded and said, "Meng Zian was originally one of the commanders of Yongchang County's southern frontier defense line. He actually fought some tough battles. Originally, I thought he was somewhat resourceful but not well-organized. But now it seems that is not the case. This person can Under such circumstances, he decisively decided to burn Liangcang and abandon the city, then slowly marched south to collect the defeated army, and finally returned to Yicheng safely with most of the Yongchang Northern Army. For Yongchang County, this was already the best thing in such a situation. The result is a pity... Based on my understanding of the Yongchang County Governor, if Meng Zian returns directly to Yicheng this time, he may not end well..."
Zhao Gui suddenly said, "It is also a good thing for us if Meng Zian is not allowed to be harmed. If the Yongchang County governor cannot tolerate Meng Zian, how good can he be to the defeated army in the north? What if we send people to the defeated army in the north at this time? Spreading some rumors may bring down the morale of this already patchwork army."
"You can give it a try, I will let the ANBU plan it carefully," Luo Chuan nodded to Zhao Gui and said, "The southern part of Yongchang County is also facing the pressure of Nanyi and it is impossible to move the army northward. Those masters in central Yongchang County The soldiers are almost the same as Zhong Xian's Gan Yuan army at the beginning. They will not be the first choice of the crazy old man to go north. After all the calculations, the main thing he can use is this defeated army in the north. As long as this defeated army in the north is short-term If we cannot form a fighting force and go north, we will have time to deal with Han Feng, the fat pig first."
Zhao Wuji nodded, stood up, pulled the map in the tent to the center and said, "Then let's talk about Han Feng!"
