Chapter 5396: Release the past grudges
"General Husheng, why do you have to volunteer? You must know that you are a general." Lin Haoming came out with two thousand troops, but Husheng was willing to take the initiative to follow Lin Haoming.
At this time, the two of them had just left the city gate and started chatting safely. When facing Lin Haoming's inquiry, Hu Sheng also explained with a smile: "General Mian, I will obey orders in my life, but there are too many people in the army like this. I can become a commander of the thousand-man before meeting you. In addition to doing things honestly, more importantly, I can look at people."
"Oh! How do you say this?" Lin Haoming also asked curiously.
Hu Sheng glanced at the back and said, "I followed General Hong's subordinates before because I know the origin of General Hong, and although General Hong has some aristocratic families, he is a person who can listen to the words at the root. He is not the kind of arrogant person. As long as he is reasonable and capable, he can convince himself. The most important thing is that he does not want military achievements and does not bother to do this. Therefore, following such a general can ensure promotion step by step."
"Then why are you following me again?" Lin Haoming asked even more interestingly.
"I am now a general, and I am a little ambitious when I enter the present. It is not very meaningful to follow General Hong before going further, but you are different from following General." Hu Sheng said with a smile.
"You said so bluntly?" Lin Haoming said with a funny look.
"The general is wise, it is unwise to hide his head and tail in front of the general. This time the general made great contributions but did not receive a reward. I think there are some reasons for this, but the reason should not be General Yang. I think it was because of His Majesty's consideration. The general didn't care about this, but instead took the initiative to attack again. It can be seen that the general does not care about one official or half of his position." Hu Sheng said more bluntly.
"Husheng, your ability to recognize people is the most important thing." Lin Haoming smiled and followed the horse and moved forward quickly.
When Husheng saw this, he followed Lebuma and moved forward quickly.
The group only brought dry food for three or four days when they went out. On the third day, they intercepted a grain team according to the report, replenished their own food and grass, and burned the rest directly.
This made the Western God Kingdom now dispatched the General Mo Yiqi to the East and was furious and was subjected to 20,000 troops to pursue and intercept them.
Lin Haoming soon realized that Mo Yiqi sent 20,000 people to pursue him, which made Lin Haoming somewhat overestimate Mo Yiqi. This person is definitely not an ordinary person. He saw that he was harmed the first time he took action, and sent ten times his troops.
Seeing this, Lin Haoming gave up the plan to continue plundering food and grass, but directly divided his troops into two groups. He and Husheng led their troops together and looted two manors.
The owners of the two manors were both high-ranking officials in the court of the West God Kingdom. There was a lot of money and food in the manor. Lin Haoming asked someone to take away what could be taken away, and burn the fields around the manor with fire, and then quickly joined forces to leave.
Lin Haoming selected two thousand slave soldiers. First, these slaves suffered a lot after being captured, and second, they were slaves from Tianzhu City. Many people are familiar with the neighborhood, which is more convenient for Lin Haoming to rob his family.
Lin Haoming wanted to spread their anger, and many of the slaves were temporarily recruited from this area. They were originally coolie slaves bought by some local tribes. In this way, Lin Haoming knew more about the wealthy families here, so a burn, killing, looting began.
Mo Yiqi's 20,000 troops intercepted 2,000 people and attached great importance to Lin Haoming, but unexpectedly, after half a month, he did not intercept it, but instead caused Lin Haoming to burn at least one nearby land. Most of the land was good fertile land, and the actual grain produced was nearly 20%. In this way, a large number of hungry people in this area would easily cause problems.
But at this moment, Lin Haoming was not burning, killing and looting, but changed his approach, attacked the post station, sneaked into two small cities, and robbed them and left.
Although these two cities are not big, they are relatively wealthy. Many wealthy families in the city end up in great trouble.
Seeing this, Mo Yiqi sent another 20,000 people to intercept him. He must block Lin Haoming and others, but after robbing these two cities, Lin Haoming went back in circles.
Mo Yiqi saw Lin Haoming's intention, so he sent someone to stop him. Lin Haoming walked through and took a few days to jump out of the siege.
Mo Yiqi divided five thousand fast horses to chase Lin Haoming, but when he was approaching the Jiliang Mountains, thousands of enemies suddenly rushed out, and Lin Haoming's soldiers also killed a retaliation. In the end, only more than one thousand people fled back.
The ambushed people were commanded by Hong Chenyi. After the victory, they counted the captured people. Hong Chenyi rode his horse and whipped to Lin Haoming, and said with a smile: "General Mian, how did this general fight in this battle?"
"If General Hong ordered people to use branches and vines to thorn some large vine balls in advance, and ignite them during the battle and throw them out to block the other party's way, then more than a thousand people would escape." Lin Haoming said directly.
"It's reasonable." After hearing this, Hong Chenyi not only did not get angry but nodded.
Lin Haoming looked at him and couldn't help but feel surprised: "The general isn't angry?"
"Why am I angry? You are right. I learned it and can do it in the future." Hong Chenyi smiled.
After hearing this, Lin Haoming deliberately dismounted and bowed to Hong Chenyi, and then said, "The general is very arrogant. His subordinates were a little complaining about the previous incident. I'm not going to pay the general here."
Hong Chenyi was also angry, but he was angry and didn't want to see it, so he was so surprised when he said just now that he saw Lin Haoming sincerely apologizing, but the resentment in his heart dissipated. He also admitted that Mian Zhizhuang was indeed capable, so he also dismounted and said, "General Mian, it was just a few misunderstandings before. As a robber, how can we be so petty? Generals have great talents. I will learn more from the general in the future."
"If General Hong wants to learn, he can read military books first. If he is confused, he will definitely explain in detail." Lin Haoming said.
"I have read the book. I have done it in the book before." Hong Chenyi said thinking.
"The art of war is dead, people are alive. On the battlefield, the right time and place and people must be in. The general did not consider the right place this time." Lin Haoming said.
"General Cotton is saying." Hong Chenyi's response this time seemed particularly humble.
"But it is also a great achievement." Lin Haoming patted his shoulder and smiled.
