"Brother Hong, what happened?" Looking at Yuan Hong who was in a state of embarrassment, Yuan Chonghuan's bad premonition became stronger, but he still asked with a glimmer of hope.
Yuan Hong took a gulp of cold water and then began to say, "The vanguard army was attacked by the enemy, and now it has been almost wiped out! Generals Zheng Lun and Chen Qi were also probably captured alive by the enemy! "
After saying that, Yuan Hongcai couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. He usually boasts that he is well versed in military literature and has great martial arts skills. He regards everyone in the world as nothing. Who would have expected that this time he would suffer such a defeat when he led an army for the first time.
"That's all, Brother Hong, you go down and rest first!" Yuan Chonghuan could only say helplessly after asking Yuan Hong to roughly describe the specific battle situation.
Yuan Hong fled all the way back here, but not a drop of water came in before, and the people and horses were exhausted, otherwise he wouldn't have filled himself with water as soon as he entered the tent.
Moreover, there are still several arrow wounds on Yuan Hong's body that have not been treated. If Yuan Hong's body was not really strong, he would not be able to hold on now.
"General, please retire first!" Yuan Hong bowed his hands and said.
If this were the case in the past, Yuan Hong would definitely not have so much etiquette and just throw away his hands and leave. But having just suffered a defeat, he was embarrassed to be so arrogant anymore, so he restrained some of his lawless character and started to talk a little bit more about etiquette.
"Hold on, I have something to ask, and I hope General Yuan will go slowly!" Just as Yuan Hong was about to leave, a loud voice suddenly sounded outside the tent, and then he saw a man wearing white armor with a majestic look. The general came in.
"Mr. Zhao!" Seeing this person coming in, Yuan Chonghuan bowed his hands and said. Although Yuan Hong was not very happy, under Yuan Chonghuan's signal, he had to reluctantly bow his hands and salute.
"I wonder if General Yuan knows where brother Ru Ling is!" Gongsun Zan hadn't spoken yet, but Gongsun Shu had already taken a step forward and asked anxiously.
Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Shu came to the door in person because they heard reports from their subordinates that Yuan Hong had returned with his identity. They speculated that there might be some problem with the forwards and were worried about Gongsun Mei's safety.
"I don't know!" Yuan Hong replied.
Regarding the specific situation of Gongsun Mei, Yuan Hong did not know that the place where the two of them fought at that time was not far away.
Besides, given the situation at that time, it was obvious that he had to escape for his life. Why would Yuan Hong go to see if Gongsun Mei was dead or alive? After all, although the two families were temporarily united, in the final analysis the relationship between the two families was indeed not very good.
Even in that situation, even if Yuan Hong saw Gongsun Mei in danger, he might not be kind enough to save him.
Slowly exhaling a heavy breath, Gongsun Shu was, after all, a figure who could stir up troubles in troubled times. Although he was not satisfied with the answer, he did not say anything more, even though he was now very worried about Gongsun Mei's situation. .
"I don't know?" At this time, Gongsun Shi said bitterly, "I'm afraid General Yuan will flee in a hurry when he sees the enemy attacking the camp, leaving my brother alone to fight against the enemy!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Shu frowned slightly. At this time, no matter what they say, they should put the overall situation first. After all, there is a formidable enemy like the Jin Army in front of them, and if they start fighting among themselves, they will only give the enemy an advantage.
"You're so outrageous, you're going to die!" Jin Dasheng, who had always had a bad temper, actually heard Gongsun Shi dare to say that to Yuan Hong. He immediately looked at him with buffalo-like eyes and said angrily.
"If that's not the case, then why is it that out of all the generals in the camp, only General Yuan came back!" Ignoring Jin Dasheng's anger, Gongsun Shi continued to say jokingly.
"Hmph, then Gongsun Mei is not strong enough and has no ability to kill him. What does this have to do with me!" Yuan Hong resisted the urge to kill and replied bitterly.
"My brother is extremely brave. If it weren't for someone who was greedy for life and afraid of death, how could my brother still not return?" Gongsun Xi said reluctantly.
Looking at Gongsun Xi's face, Yuan Hong couldn't help it anymore. A surge of anger surged into his heart, and he immediately wanted to draw his sword and kill Gongsun Xi.
Fortunately, Yuan Chonghuan noticed something was wrong with Yuan Hong in time, and while calmly grabbing Yuan Hong's arm, he said to Gongsun Zan, "Mr. Zhao, that Ran Min on the military general list and another unknown fierce general of the Jin army are... It’s not easy for my brothers to fight back against the enemy together. It’s not easy for my brothers to fight back. I can’t pay attention to General Gongsun, so I hope Duke Zhao will forgive me!”
Yuan Chonghuan's words contained a lot of information. He directly said that Yuan Hong was fighting one against two, and one of them was Ran Min, who was tenth on the general list. This showed Yuan Hong's military power and used it to intimidate Gongsun Zan.
At the same time, he was also telling Gongsun Zan that it was normal for Yuan Hong to fight against two powerful generals of the Jin army alone and not pay attention to Gongsun Mei's situation, and his fear of war was even more groundless. Moreover, it also implies that since Gongsun Zan sent out two fierce generals to deal with Yuan Hong, it is uncertain whether he will send other strong generals to deal with Gongsun Mei.
It stands to reason that when things have developed to this point, it should be over, but Gongsun Xi obviously had his own plans and still stepped forward and said, "Since the general said that General Yuan Hong can deal with Ran Min and the Jin army on his own, Another fierce general, I don’t know what evidence the general has!”
"Humph, what evidence do you need? When our army arrives at Huguan, I will take the lead in challenging you and prove it to you!" Yuan Hong said disdainfully.
At the same time, Yuan Hong didn't take Gongsun Shi's doubts to heart at all. In Yuan Hong's view, the strongest one in Huguan is Ran Min, who ranks tenth on the general list.
After the previous battle, Yuan Hong had a pretty good understanding of Ran Min's strength. He did have a few tricks, but Yuan Hong was confident of winning.
At the same time, Yuan Hong also silently remembered Gongsun Xi in his heart. When there is an opportunity in the future, when Gongsun Xi falls into his hands, he must teach him to be a good person.
"In this case, the young general will just wait and see how the general performs!" The goal has been achieved, and there is no need for Gongsun Shi to continue to pester him relentlessly.
Just now, Gongsun Shi took into account that there were many fierce generals in the Jin army, and half of the top ten generals were from the Jin army, so he suddenly thought of motivating Yuan Hong to take the lead in the battle, so that they could observe the specific situation of the Jin army. situation, test out who the other party is this time.
After all, there are endless generals in the Jin army, and a powerful general appears every once in a while. At the beginning, whether it was Jiang Song before, Yuwen Chengdu later, or Ran Min and others, no one had heard the names of these people before, but the strength of the other party was terrifyingly strong.
