Huang Qiong's words made everyone laugh. And Zhao Wushu looked inside the building and saw that Huang Qiong was now surrounded by people. He did not hesitate to speak directly: "It is Wushu who has not thought carefully and made the master worried. Wushu brought these 800 cavalry to the rebel camp." After getting close, I found that the rebels did not relax their vigilance in their camp because they sent assassins to attack."
"On the contrary, the security around the camp has been strengthened. It can be said that there is no opportunity to take advantage of it. But I was really unwilling to withdraw at this point, so I have been waiting around the rebel camp. I might as well be in the border army and watch the Liao army fighting from time to time. We know that the most fatigued time is in the early hours of the morning. So we might as well wait and be prepared to launch a surprise attack when the rebels are most tired."
"Even if we can't defeat the rebels in one fell swoop, we still have to find ways to burn the rebels' food and fodder. In order to disrupt the morale of the rebels and lower the morale of the rebels. This change may not be notified to the master in time, and the master will be worried. In fact, It’s an innocent mistake, please master and punish me.”
Zhao Wusha, who had already recognized Huang Qiong as his main one, changed his name to Huang Qiong when he was surrounded by Huang Qiong's caring people. From the prince, he changed directly to the master. Huang Qiong, who was very satisfied with Zhao Wushan's title, waved his hand and said, "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. If you ask for instructions on everything, there is no need to fight this battle."
"It's okay to make this determination just for the needs of the battlefield. What's the crime? What's more, Wu Yi is the acting Hulao Guan Dutong appointed by the king. When he is on the battlefield, even I have to obey Wu Wu's orders, so why? Could you please give me some advice? You might as well not worry about this trivial matter."
Hearing Huang Qiong's answer, Zhao Wushu felt somewhat emotional. I am so lucky to have such a considerate prince as my master. After serving in the army for many years, he has seen generals who cling to military power and interfere with everything big and small. He had also seen battles defeated, so he pushed the responsibility downwards, and the credit for winning battles was all his own.
There are not many bosses who have good trust in their subordinates like the boss in front of me, but they are really not many. In fact, as a military attache, it is your duty to fight life and death on the battlefield. As a military attache, he was not afraid of going into battle. What he was afraid of was that after the war, he would not be able to be trusted when he came back.
His performance on the battlefield has to be turned upside down. If there is something that I can't explain clearly, I will find a crime for myself. Now that I met this young prince, he not only trusted me more, but also shouldered all the pressure on me. It is a blessing for him to recognize this young prince as his master.
Because now he knows that as long as the prince is alive, he can always hand over his back with confidence when he goes to the battlefield. When he was fighting in front, this prince would always stand behind him, shielding him from the wind and rain. Even if this prince did not sit on the throne in the end, he would always protect him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wushu's thoughts were completely settled. If Huang Qiong was his master before, his mind was somewhat occupied by certain things for a while, and he acted willfully. Zhao Wusha, who had completely calmed down at this moment, faced Huang Qiong and called out his master. I mean it sincerely.
Facing Huang Qiong's encouraging gaze, Zhao Wuye swallowed the saliva in his mouth and continued: "Master, although the number of rebels is large, they have never fought in actual combat. They were indeed heavily guarded when the assassin entered the border. But after all, they have never fought. When he got up, he gradually relaxed. Not only did the patrol military attachés go back to rest, but even the scouts outside were withdrawn."
"After the rebels have completely relaxed, we might as well take these 800 cavalry and attack his central camp. It's a pity that although the rebels are in chaos, their strength far exceeds ours. Moreover, the rebels are in chaos. The general is quite talented. Although he was caught off guard, he was able to stabilize the formation within half an hour."
"We can even mobilize cavalry to launch a counterattack against our army. Seeing that the situation cannot be done, the general has no choice but to retreat. Thanks to the master, he sent the king's guards with archers to use crossbows to kill the 800 soldiers he brought with him. The cavalry provides cover. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter if we are bitten by the rebel cavalry. Although we may not lose to the rebel cavalry, the loss is inevitable."
"However, although the general failed to defeat the rebels in one fell swoop, he burned most of the grain, grass and baggage that the rebels had hoarded in the Chinese army camp. The eight hundred cavalry were still too few, and the damage they did to the rebels was not as good as the king's guards. That rain of arrows, as well as the rebels trampling on each other and killing many of them during our surprise attack. If all the cavalry of the Xiaoqi Battalion are here, the rebels will definitely be completely defeated in tonight's battle."
"It's just Master. There are two things that I don't understand very well. Although I haven't seen Chai Duzhi's military envoy from the Zhengzhou Guards, he has been famous for a long time. He definitely doesn't have that ability. He can do it in a hurry. Organize a counterattack. But who is it that King Jing is mobilizing the troops for?"
"To be able to stabilize the morale of the army in such a short period of time, stop the decline of the army, quickly organize and launch such a sharp counterattack, he is definitely a veteran, and he is also the kind of veteran who is on the battlefield. As far as we know, There is no such talent among the local guards in Zhengzhou. At least the one who knows how to defend soldiers and horses definitely does not have this ability."
"The second is the identity of their cavalry commander. Although there are only a few hundred cavalry in this person's hands, those who were killed are definitely elites, and their combat power is far stronger than their infantry. Not only is their advance and retreat very orderly, , and their riding skills are also quite superb. You can feel it as soon as you fight with them. Although they are a little worse than the Xiaoqi battalion, they are not inferior to the ordinary frontier cavalry."
Zhao Wushu was confused, but Huang Qiong smiled faintly and said: "No need to worry, there are some things that we can't understand now, let's just sit back and watch. When the rebellion is completely revealed, we will know. But if the rebels They are all a bunch of wimps, isn’t it too easy for us to get this merit?”
"It's okay to meet such an opponent. It can be regarded as meeting an opponent in chess and meeting a good talent. It's okay to be a general, and his destiny is to be on the battlefield. And being able to meet a real opponent in this life is also a great blessing in life. Otherwise, it will always be What’s the point of facing a bunch of pig-like opponents?”
"Besides, the edge of a sword comes from sharpening. A person's growth cannot always be smooth sailing. Only by meeting more opponents like this can you truly sharpen yourself. Only by paying attention to your opponents and treating them as your own whetstones can you truly sharpen yourself. It is a necessary experience to grow into an army commander."
"A sword that has not been truly sharpened is nothing more than a dull knife without an edge. Continuously training yourself, polishing yourself, and challenging yourself is what a successful person should experience. Let this battle make you Really grow. The goal is not to stop at the stage of leading only these few thousand soldiers."
Huang Qiong's words were polite and courteous, and he was also a modest person, so Zhao Wushu was convinced. He lowered his body, bowed deeply and respectfully to Huang Qiong, and said, "You may be taught a lesson. Thank you, Master, for teaching me. Please rest assured, Master, these words of Master today will be my motto for the rest of my life."
Zhao Wushu humbly accepted the lesson. Huang Qiong nodded with satisfaction and said: "It doesn't matter, tomorrow is our most critical day, that is, we must be prepared for the rebels to jump over the wall. But we must also prevent the rebels' food and grass from being stolen." After the fire, I saw that the situation was not going well and slipped back to Zhengzhou. No problem, you have to tell your subordinates to keep an eye on the rebels."
"I am not afraid that they will jump over the wall in a hurry tomorrow. As long as we can hold on for at least one day, the army from Yudu will arrive. What I am most worried about is that they will retreat to Zhengzhou. The tactic of siege, a lose-lose strategy, cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary. Yes. If the casualties are too heavy, all the vitality of our Daqi will be lost."
Having said this, Huang Qiong turned to Wang Dalong and said: "Dalong, it's okay for you to cooperate with your full strength now. You must hold on to this last day. It's difficult for him to last until the last moment if it depends on him alone. You are an old frontier soldier." As a military attaché, I would not trust this job to anyone else."
Seeing Wang Dalong's expression that he hesitated after hearing what he said. Huang Qiong waved his hand to stop him and said: "I know what you want to say. It's nothing more than my safety after you go to Wuhu. I can't say that your thinking is wrong, because you are a guard. That in itself is your duty.”
"But we can't be bitten by a snake once and fear the rope for ten years, right? In this way, you can mobilize fifty elites for me to serve as bodyguards. The war situation is urgent, and I don't have much time to talk. You all should seize the time to rest now. Only when you have enough energy can you lead your troops to fight. Especially you, the dragon, must be prepared to lead the cavalry to attack. Go and rest now."
Huang Qiong blocked what Wang Dalong wanted to say. Wang Dalong, who was familiar with Huang Qiong's character, also knew that once his master opened his mouth, there would be basically no room for maneuver. I can only tell the remaining guards again and again to keep an eye on the prince. Not only to prevent the assassin from returning, but also to prevent the young master from running to the front line to fight.
After repeatedly warning several guards, Wang Dalong, who was still a little worried, followed Zhao Wushu to rest. Huang Qiong did not leave the Guanlou. After Zhao Wushu and Wang Dalong left, he meditated directly in the Guanlou and adjusted his breath. Although he did not fight in person, Huang Qiong's experience in the past two days also made Huang Qiong feel extremely tired.
There was not much time left before dawn, so Huang Qiong simply gave up the idea of taking a nap and directly meditated and adjusted his breath in the closed building instead of resting. After adjusting the breath for more than an hour, although he could not fully recover his energy, it was barely enough for Huang Qiong. Huang Qiong, who had adjusted slightly, came to Guancheng by himself without waking up Fan Jian, who was still sleeping soundly over there.
Huang Qiong shook his head and said nothing as he stared at the Cangshan Mountain in the distance, looking at the late autumn scene of disinfecting people outside the pass, and the corpses under the pass that the rebels had not yet had time to collect. As early as the day he received the Holy Order and joined the battle in the Xiaoqi Camp, he knew that the rebellion of the two kings was just the beginning. Even if the rebellion of the two kings was suppressed, what role did the other princes play in this rebellion?
Huang Qiong knew that this was something difficult to find out. I'm afraid the emperor may not even dare to truly reveal what's inside. He also knew that the pool of water was very deep, but from the confessions of the two women, he discovered that the pool of water was much deeper and more muddy than he imagined. King Jing is just a puppet in this rebellion, so who is the real mastermind behind this farce?
Fan Jian told himself that his grandfather had a birthday party, and almost all the adult princes sent people to attend. Some princes even went against the ancestral rules and left their fiefdoms privately to visit the head of the Fan family in Xiangyang. After the head of the Fan family expressed his non-participation attitude, he instead tried every means to win over the other members of the Fan family.
This shows what? It only shows that some people have lost their composure. Among them were not only the legitimate sons of Queen Daxing, but also Prince Teng, who gave people the impression of being greedy and vulgar, and Prince Ji, who was always cautious and cautious, were involved. I am also telling myself in disguise that sometimes what others see with their eyes may not be the truth.
