First, Wang Zheng could not explain where he got the news.
At this time, he had no intention of pretending to be a magician anymore, saying what Huang Tianzhao said.
Second, it was Wang Zheng's compassion for the soldier.
Being able to come here immediately from Yunting to report the news shows his loyalty. Even if he traveled by water, he must have traveled day and night, and he was already exhausted.
It would not be cruel to tell such loyal people the bad news about their general at this time, not to mention that Wang Zheng was afraid that his body would not be able to support him.
"General, we are incompetent and have failed to live up to your high expectations."
Seeing Wang Zheng's silence and gloomy look on his face, the soldier thought that he was dissatisfied when he heard that Yunting was lost, so he quickly took the initiative to plead guilty.
"What hurts me is not in the city." Wang Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and helped the soldiers up personally: "It's in the people."
"My soldiers in the heavenly army are all my fellow countrymen, as close as brothers and sisters, but we suffered such heavy casualties..."
Wang Zheng sighed: "How can I not feel pain?"
Hearing this, the soldier couldn't help but shed tears. Except for those famous generals in the story books, who could say that soldiers are like brothers, apart from Wang Zheng, he had never seen anyone else.
Even those Yellow Turban Canal Commanders who made their fortune by relying on the common people, apart from their personal soldiers, how did they pay attention to other ordinary soldiers?
Wang Zheng replaced the maid in the palace and took the soldier down to heal his wounds and rest. After his figure disappeared, he turned his head and saw the wind blowing outside the window and the night fell, and he fell into silence.
"General..." When Wu Yuan saw this, he felt a little uneasy and stepped forward to persuade him: "Soldiers are in danger and danger. When you are a soldier, you have to keep your head up all the time..."
But Wang Zheng didn't look back and just asked: "Is Xu Fang going back to the city?"
"Not yet."
"Go to the city gate immediately, wait for him to return to the city, and ask him to come see me as soon as possible."
"Inform the other generals to come here for discussion!"
"Here!"
...
When the royal general Wen Chou attacked and the news of Yunting's fall slowly came out, there was no commotion in the hall.
Firstly, Mi Heng had already spoken in advance, and everyone was mentally prepared. Secondly, the generals had been in battle for a long time and had been victorious in consecutive battles. By now, everyone had a certain degree of confidence and confidence in their hearts.
Even Chen Jiao, the former lost dog, and Zhang Rao, who had been chased and beaten by soldiers for half his life, never panicked when they heard the enemy as before.
But once the news of Gao Xiong's death was announced, everyone's expressions immediately changed.
The one who had the biggest reaction was Wu Niu.
He and Gao Xiong were both strong men from the countryside near Zhao County. When they fought with Dian Man that day, they were on the field one after another. Warriors are not like literati who despise each other, but are more sympathetic to each other. Therefore, even if their personalities are not compatible,
The relationship is also good.
Later, they both joined Wang Zheng's army, and after going through great battles, they became comrades-in-arms who could trust each other's backs. The friendship became deeper and deeper.
"General, let me kill that Wen Chou!" Wu Niu stood up suddenly and shouted like a roar.
Staring at Wu Niu's bloodshot eyes, filled with grief and hatred, Wang Zheng just waved his hand: "Sit down first!"
"General!"
"sit down!"
Wang Zheng suddenly shouted loudly, causing the entire audience to fall into silence. You could hear the drop of a needle, and everyone was as silent as a cicada.
It also completely shook away the anger that had accumulated in Wu Niu's heart, and his mind regained its clarity.
"I have said before that you are all generals and commanders-in-chief now."
Wang Zheng's eyes were like daggers, he looked around everyone, and said word by word: "Soldiers are a big deal. No matter what the situation is, when it comes to war, you must not be affected by personal likes and dislikes, joys, anger, sorrows, etc., and be mindless and impulsive."
."
At this point, his eyes fell on Wu Niu: "Did you not take my words to heart? Or did you forget them too quickly?"
"Besides..." Looking at Wu Niu, Wang Zheng said calmly:
"Yunting fell. In addition to Gao Xiong, nearly a thousand brothers from the Heavenly Army also died in the battle. You are shouting and shouting here and only raise Xiong. Don't you take the lives of those brothers and their hatred seriously?
?"
Hearing this, Wu Niu felt a little ashamed and couldn't help but lower his head.
"Of course Wen Chou deserves to be killed!" Wang Zheng said again: "But this man's life alone can't relieve the hatred in my heart!"
"And Yuan Jun!"
"And Yuan Shao!"
"Kill slowly..." Wang Zheng looked calm and his tone was indifferent, but his whole body exuded a creepy and ferocious aura:
"Kill them one by one!"
He tapped the table with his halberd finger: "Let's start with this Yuan army!"
"These five thousand men and horses will not be left alive or surrendered."
"I want them to be buried in Xuzhou like our brothers in the army and never return home!"
...
The shrill sound of horns and the rapid beating of drums resounded over Pengcheng again, spreading throughout the military camps, alleys, and every corner.
got windy.
In the crazy strong wind, the flag with the word "王" whistling, and then, one torch after another was lit, which was very eye-catching in the dark and gloomy sky.
As Wang Zheng's orders came one after another, all the heavenly soldiers quickly gathered.
The soldiers who had just returned to the city after a battle once again got out of bed and walked out of the camp.
Zhang Zhao also received the order, and Wang Zheng asked him to send a message to every household in the city. From now on, no matter what the reason, he was prohibited from going out and sending messages to the outside world. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed on the spot, and his or her family would be confiscated and their clans exterminated.
At this time, Xu Fang finally came back.
When he entered the mansion, he had a serious look on his face and was fully clothed. He didn't feel any joy after the victory. On the way here, he also learned about the current situation.
"The war situation is urgent. Although some brothers have escaped and informed Yuan Jun of the situation, it is just that one move can affect the whole body. It is difficult to protect the enemies in the east and north seas, and they will not be moved by the wind."
"Now Langya is only guarded by Yu Jin and Pan Zhang. Pan Zhang is also responsible for the defense of the East China Sea, so there is no room for failure..."
After taking a look at the sky outside the hall, Wang Zheng stood up directly, stood erect, stood with his sword in front of the case, and said in a deep voice, "Xu Fang, please work harder and lead 2,000 troops to support Pan Zhang.
Let’s work together to calm it down!”
"If the East China Sea doesn't move, take your chances and wait for my order."
"Here!"
"Zhang Rao, Wu Niu, and Wu Yuan, I will give you three or four thousand troops to stay in Pengcheng." Looking around, Wang Zheng pointed his generals one by one: "Now that Wen Chou has descended to Yunting, if we continue to go deeper, we will take Kaiyang directly.
"
"Chen Jiao, since you are familiar with the nature of water, make preparations. I have arranged for Mi Ling to communicate with the Mi family. When the time comes, you can take the water route first and take a thousand people to Linyi immediately. Guard this corner first. If Wen Chou attacks Kaiyang,
Even if the city is destroyed, you cannot leave without my order!"
"Here!"
"Wu Sheng, take the remaining 3,000 troops and infantry from the Tianzhu camp and go to Zang Kingdom to garrison first! You cannot leave without my order."
"Here!"
"As for me, I will only take five hundred Tianzhu cavalry and return to Kaiyang alone." Wang Zheng smiled and said: "Wen Chou was ordered by Yuan Shao to help Cao Cao defeat the bandits. In this case, I will personally lead him
Come and mess with me, a thief!"
"Lest he retreat to Jizhou before his achievements are completed!"
...
There is a master in the world.
If it were not for the ominous omens brought by those three fortune-tellings, and the damage caused by attacking Yunting alone, Wen Chou might not even consider going to Kaiyang, and would directly return to Bohai.
Or maybe the people Wang Zheng sent to Yunting were not people like Gao Xiong who had entered the system, but people like Chen Jiao. In fear of death, they really revealed Wang Zheng's current strength, and his troops and Wen Chou might have shrunk.
That's not fear, but...
Not worth it.
After all, it was Qingzhou and Xuzhou that Wangzheng disturbed, and it was Cao Cao and Tao Qian who were provoked, not Yuan Shao and Jizhou.
Blow up a pool of spring water and do his shit?
But after these two things happened one after another, Wen Chou was certain that Wang Zheng was the trap pointed out by the divination, the person who might take away his vitality and vitality.
He was fierce by nature, and with this understanding, he was not afraid even though he was frightened, and he immediately made a decision.
Now that they have become enemies, I cannot tolerate this Zhuzi staying in this world for another day!
This man is good at deceiving people and also knows how to train troops. If he is not eliminated today, when it becomes a problem, the threat to his family will only become greater day by day!
Therefore, after capturing Yunting, Wen Chou even gave up sending people to consult the lord Yuan Shao for his opinion, and directly took his troops and continued to advance towards Kaiyang!
Within seven days, they defeated Dongguan, Dong'an, and Yangdu counties, and even hijacked the people and villagers along the way.
While the royal and political forces were pouring out of Pengcheng Kingdom, he had led a large army to Kaiyang City.
