Chapter 2223 Long Army Attacks (5)
On the top of Nanchong City, there is a king's flag with the character "chen" flying high, and the huge Liang King's banner is majestic.
The appearance of Chenyue's military flag here also means that the Liang army has really withdrawn from Nanchong City, and the news that the Long army has found out is absolutely correct.
Regarding this unprepared large-scale withdrawal of troops, generals and commanders at all levels in the army were very confused, because the war could still be fought.
But since Xue Meng was scolded, no one dared to ask the reason anymore. Who wants to make trouble?
In the past two days, the news that the entire Benlei Cavalry army had been wiped out spread throughout the army, and now the military camp was really in a state of panic.
This is a big deal! But the prince seemed to be indifferent and did not summon the generals to announce any news.
At this moment, Chen Yue was discussing matters with Chu Yucheng and others in the general's mansion.
Chenyue held the emergency military report in his hand, his eyes stayed on the location of Ningzhou City, and said with a hint of sadness:
"Alas, as expected, hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed in one blow.
The elite frontier troops who were brave and good at fighting died in vain on the land of the Central Plains. I feel heartbroken~"
The Liang army also had friendship with the Chang family's frontier army, so it was inevitable that they would feel like their lips were dying and their teeth were cold.
Chu Yucheng was silent:
"An Guogong is also a famous general. He has guarded the border for many years. Regardless of whether he participated in party struggles, the old man must have made great contributions to the country.
I didn’t expect that he would die so tragically in his later years, it’s a pity.”
Just like what the old man said when Chenyue and Chang Hantang met for the first time:
Some of the children of the Chang family oppressed good people, some practiced favoritism and perverted the law, and some ran rampant in the countryside.
However, people from the Chang family have died on the battlefield for generations, and their bodies have been returned wrapped in horse leather, worthy of their status as frontier soldiers.
Now everyone in the Chang family is dead, and no one surrenders when faced with the Yan people's butcher's knife.
What you have done is good enough.
Zhuge mumbled softly: "At least Xie Xiaolei saved Chang Huaiyi and left a root for the Chang family."
"Blessed among misfortunes."
Chenyue sighed softly. He wondered if Chang's eldest grandson would be able to escape the shadow of the family's destruction.
"Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty!"
"Xue Shuai, the prince is discussing something, please come in later."
"Get out of the way, I want to see you now!"
There was a burst of noisy sounds, and two burly figures pushed aside Xu Luo's obstruction and strode into the meeting hall.
Chen Yue immediately put away the military report in his hand and took a closer look. It was Xue Meng and Qian Zimo, two generals in the army.
The moment they came in, Chen Yue guessed their intentions.
Chenyue said coldly:
"Why, don't you need to notify me now when you enter the king's handsome tent?"
The two generals shrank their heads, and Xue Meng saw that he was the leader, cupping his fists and saying:
"When the general is finally aware of his crime, the prince will punish him as he pleases.
But I just want to ask if the Ben Lei Cavalry is really gone, and if Xie Xiaolei really died in the battle!"
"Please give me your approval today!"
"Yes, we must listen to the truth!"
The two generals seemed to be risking their lives, both of them blushed.
Chu Yucheng and Zhuge looked at each other confusedly, looking at the two people with interest, with strange expressions.
Chenyue glanced at them and said lightly:
"Why are you two here, and you didn't bring Wang Duhu with you?"
The two men's voices were stagnant. Wang Rusong was so senior, so how could they dare to call the veteran general when they came to cause trouble?
Qian Zimo was not usually so courageous, but this time it was rumored that Xie Xiaolei had died in battle, so he couldn't care less.
We are all fellow soldiers, so who is not worried?
Chenyue continued:
"When will I, the general of the Liang Army, have to listen to rumors and fight a war?"
Xue Meng said unconvinced:
"Then the prince has to give the brothers an accurate message, right? The morale of the army has plummeted in the past two days, and there are different opinions. If this continues, the morale of the army will not be suppressed."
Chu Yucheng on one side said coldly:
"Can't suppress it? You can't even control your own soldiers, so what use are you!"
"I do not care."
Xue Meng waved his hand:
"Your Majesty must give me an accurate letter today!"
Xue Meng seemed to be more courageous today, clenching his fists tightly.
Chenyue narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a long silence, he uttered a sentence:
"How can military secrets be leaked at will?
After being a general for so many years, you still don’t understand this principle?”
Xue Meng was so anxious that he was sweating, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
Qian Zimo on the side has been secretly looking at it. When he glanced at the letter in Chen Yue's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then the anxiety in his heart disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, his eyes met with Chen Yue's. Chen Yue looked at him and then shook his head without any trace.
Qian Zimo understood instantly and grabbed Xue Meng's arm: "Forget it, General Xue, we won't ask anymore."
"Why?"
Xue Meng's eyes widened angrily: "Brother died in vain?
If something happens to Ben Lei Qi, we will fight back to Liaodong today! We will fight with that son of a bitch Yanren!"
There was still a trace of doubt in Xue Meng's heart. Didn't Qian Zimo stand firmly by his side? Why did he regret it as soon as he came in?
"Shut up!"
Chen Yue cursed loudly and shouted in a deep voice:
"Come here, drag Xue Meng out and punish him with twenty army sticks!
Show the soldiers the consequences of ignoring military orders!"
"promise!"
Several Bai Mayi strode in and said slightly apologetically:
"Xue Shuai, I'm offended!"
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
"Your Majesty, please give me, Old Xue, the right word!"
Before Xue Meng could react, he was immediately pushed out by several people. What was waiting for him was a solid blow from the military stick.
Qian Zimo was stunned, carefully clasped his fists and said:
"Your Majesty, the last general, the last general has also resigned."
"stop!"
Chenyue raised his eyebrows: "You want to leave after making trouble?"
Qian Zimo had a bitter look on his face and muttered: "General, now that I have been convicted, why don't I also go get twenty military sticks?
Anyway, Xie Shuai is fine, and it’s worth receiving twenty military sticks.”
Just now, Qian Zimo's sharp eyes saw the military newspaper in Chen Yue's hand that read "Handwritten by General Xie Xiaolei" in large characters.
Coupled with the look Chen Yue gave him, he suddenly felt convinced.
Chen Yue waved his hand and said: "Forget it with the military stick. Once Xue Meng receives this blow from the military stick, you should keep an eye on him and stop causing trouble!"
As for the real situation, tell him in two days, this guy can't hide things."
"No! I will retire at the end!"
Qian Zi understood the idea silently and retreated slowly.
Chu Yucheng spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this Xue Meng is here to trick Your Majesty."
"Hey~"
Chenyue sighed: "I don't want to either. Who let this guy bump into me again and again?"
"It's just hard for Xue Shuai."
Zhuge shook his head in confusion and helplessness. Even if Xue Meng was a practicing master, twenty military sticks would be enough to keep him out of bed for several days.
"Okay, let's get down to business."
Chenyue looked at Chu Yucheng and said, "How are the arrangements in the capital?"
Chu Yucheng said in a deep voice:
"Everything is going according to plan! But the Long Army still doesn't seem to be making any moves."
Chenyue narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly:
"Wait a minute, even if Fifth Heart Rou can be stable, I don't believe Yuwen Xingchen can stop thinking!"
Chapter completed!
