After returning to his own garrison, Peng Shuang was still aggrieved.
The same is true for Xiao Yuan's generals.
Someone said: "Assist? What did Yu Ze do to help our army? Is he drinking and watching a show in the back!?"
"The Battle of Fengcheng was the result of a bloody battle of two thousand soldiers of our army! Why should we give it to Yu Ze!"
"The county army should have provided support, and that's fine if they didn't, but they withheld our army's food and grass, so that our army ended up eating grass and fighting! He, Yu Ze, came to share the battle merits at this time, and he was extremely shameless!"
Listening to the dissatisfied voices of the generals, Liu Yuzhi shook his head slightly, then stood up and said:
"You don't need to be angry. This is an inevitable result. But now, I think our opportunity has come."
"Oh?" Everyone became quiet after hearing this, and Xiao Yuan also looked at him.
"General." Liu Yuzhi first faced Xiao Yuan, bowed his hands and saluted, and then said:
"According to the news coming back, Lu Bolin's army is now being restrained by the main force of the rebels, and the leader of the rebels, Wu Yuan, is leading an elite force to approach the imperial capital."
"By then, if the emperor is in danger, the emperor will definitely flee south!"
"You mean... King Qin of the Capital?" Xiao Yuan reacted immediately and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"That's right." Liu Yuzhi continued: "The general should give up the current victory and move to the south. If it is too late, it will be too late."
Before Xiao Yuan could speak, Peng Shuang said in a low voice: "How can we fight without food and grass!"
What he was talking about was a critical issue. The food and grass given by Yu Anmin last time was only enough for five days, which was not enough at all.
But Liu Yuzhi said: "Give all the results of the Fengcheng battle to Yu Ze in exchange for ten days' worth of food, plus the previous grain and grass, half a month's expenses, which is enough for the general to travel to the south at night and under the stars!"
"Impossible! Fengcheng was conquered by our army only after a bloody battle! Just give in? How can there be such a thing in the world!" Peng Shuang immediately shouted loudly.
Xiao Yuan could understand his mood. He glanced at him first and then said: "Haha, a small Fengcheng, what does it mean?"
As he spoke, he also walked to the military map. After a moment, he pointed directly to a place south of the imperial capital and said immediately: "If we can exchange for food and grass, our army will immediately travel by starry night to Yuyang!"
Yuyang is just south of the imperial capital. If the emperor escapes, he must pass here. However, because the war started in the north, there is no armed force there.
Seeing that Xiao Yuan had made his decision, Liu Yuzhi immediately said: "The general is wise. Yu Ze has no talent and is greedy. He will definitely agree to the great achievement that he got in vain."
Xiao Yuan decided to serve the king with a mere four thousand troops, which required great determination and courage. Without further ado, he went directly to Yu Ze's place that afternoon.
Hearing that he wanted to see him, Yu Ze was stunned for a moment, then he didn't care and raised his head towards his men: "Let him come in."
At this time, in the hall, Yu Ze, like his father, was having fun with a woman in his arms. After Xiao Yuan came in, he didn’t even raise his head. While continuing to make love to the woman, he said loudly: "Xiao Yuan, sit down. ."
"No need." Xiao Yuan replied, straight to the point: "I am here specifically to give you a piece of credit for the young master."
"Oh?" After hearing this, Yu Ze finally raised his head: "What do you mean?"
"The Battle of Fengcheng was won by our army, but I am willing to give all the credit for this to you, Young Master."
"What!?" When Yu Ze heard this, his eyes widened at first, looking in disbelief, and then he said tremblingly: "Xiao Yuan, you, what do you mean by this? Are you kidding me?"
"The next sentence is true."
"This..." Yu Ze couldn't help but swallowed, then rolled his eyes, immediately changed his expression, then pushed the woman beside him away, stretched out his hand and said: "General Xiao, quickly, please take a seat and talk."
His attitude changed so quickly, Xiao Yuan smiled slightly: "Without the food and grass support of the governor, it is impossible to march and fight. The credit for Fengcheng belongs to the young master, and it should be right."
"Having said that, how can I prove that I captured Fengcheng?" Yu Ze didn't blush at all.
When Xiao Yuan heard this, he shouted directly outside the hall: "Bring him up!"
Following his words, not long after, Zhou Qi was tied up and led up. After he came in, he knelt on the ground with a thud and begged for mercy:
"General, spare my life! Spare my life - as long as you let me go, I will be a slave forever, serving the general..."
Zhou Qi was greedy for life and afraid of death. When Yu Ze saw this, he couldn't help but ask: "Who is this person..."
"This is the leader of the Fengcheng rebel army, and he has been captured by the young master." Xiao Yuan said with a smile.
"Oh?" Yu Ze suddenly became energetic and captured the opponent's general. This was enough to explain everything.
His eyes were bright, and he looked at Xiao Yuan again in excitement, and said with a smile on his face: "General Xiao gives such a great gift, I really don't know what to say, haha."
Xiao Yuan said: "Of course, when it comes to merit, I dare not compare with you, but this quelling the chaos is really a big deal. If you are willing to give me ten days of food and grass, I will definitely be able to capture Shanling! I will do more for you. !”
Shanngling is similar to Fengcheng, another city occupied by the rebels.
When he heard this, Yu Ze raised his eyebrows: "You mean, you want ten days of food and grass to attack Shangling?"
"That's right, if the upper caltrop is broken, half of the credit will be given to the young master." Xiao Yuan said.
"Is this serious!?" Shocked, Yu Ze swallowed again.
"It's absolutely true." Xiao Yuan explained: "Without the support of the food and grass in the hands of the young master, my soldiers will be ineffective. I can only make achievements by cooperating with the young master."
When he explained this, Yu Ze couldn't help but look up and smile, and said: "General Xiao, you finally understand the current affairs. It would be great if you did this earlier."
"Haha, the young master is absolutely right." Xiao Yuan also smiled.
On the surface, he said that he was cooperating with Yu Ze and gave him such credit. The latter was already greedy, so he did not hesitate to accept Xiao Yuan's request.
On the other side, Zhong Bai's department.
Since raising troops in Yangzhou, Zhong Bai has conquered several cities and defeated rebels in many places. At this moment, in the Chinese army's tent, he is also summoning the generals to discuss the troops.
Liang Yuan, dressed in armor, took the lead and said with clasped fists: "Young Master, our army has recovered the four cities. If we continue like this, after the chaos is put down, no one can match your achievements."
"Huh?" Unexpectedly, Zhong Bai waved his hand. He was staring at the map at the moment. After a moment, he also turned back and said quietly: "In this battle, be the Qin King of the capital! Yuyang is the top priority. !”
You must know that after the emperor's edict was issued, many people from various places raised armies to quell the rebellion. The rebel Wu Yuan was destined to fail, and his demise was only a matter of time.
But among so many local armed forces, only Xiao Yuan and Zhong Bai decided to spare Yuyang.
It also corresponds to the saying: heroes think alike.
