Chapter 23 Follow
Facts have proved that Yongliang's army did not have the courage to engage in war.
Despite how aggressive they were when they came in, they didn't dare to act rashly when the critical moment came.
Guo Huai's military law was not only aimed at the Chinese army, but several of the heads on the city wall belonged to the Yongliang army.
At this point, Yang Zheng admired Guo Huai very much.
Since we can't fight, it's easy to handle.
A similar thing seemed to have happened in the middle camp next door, and there was also a commotion.
However, both sides were holding on to the heat and did not take action.
Yang Zheng felt relieved.
Perhaps Guo Huai's order was just to inspect the camp, but his men habitually bullied the Chinese army and used chicken feathers as command arrows.
As a former general and governor of Yongzhou, Guo Huai not only had to guard against the Shu army, but also the Qiang and Di tribes to the west. He also had to pay attention to the situation in the DPRK and China, and he did not have much thought for the Chinese army, a lost dog.
The Chinese army became more and more aggressive and their curses became more and more fierce.
The total number of Yongliang's troops, front and rear, and left and right only totaled about 300 people.
Surrounded in the center.
With fewer people, the momentum is naturally weaker.
Captain Zhang saw something was wrong and said harshly, "When I go back and report to General Guo, I will arrest all of you murderers!"
Looking at the way he spoke, Yang Zheng suddenly remembered the famous saying from his student days: I will tell my brother when I go back, just wait for me.
After saying that, he led the Yongliang army and retreated in despair.
"Hahaha……"
Bursts of wild laughter erupted in the camp, and the depression of many days was swept away.
Yang Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief and secretly thought that he had passed this level.
The eyes of the soldiers around him gradually looked at him with reverence.
The military has always worshiped the strong.
Yang Zheng came forward again and again, and finally achieved some gains.
This is how reputation grows subtly.
"Thank you, General!" A dozen rescued sergeants bowed before Yang Zheng.
Yang Zheng waved his hand, and the commotion in the camp suddenly stopped. Even Xun Fan's eyes became complicated.
In fact, as long as he stood up and said something just now, things would not have ended like this.
But when things came to a head, he gave up.
However, after experiencing these things, Yang Zheng gained more power, and offending too many people was not a good thing after all.
"I have taken the liberty of my subordinate, and I will forgive you, Captain!" Yang Zheng bowed before Xun Fan.
A member of an aristocratic family, he still has some ambitions. Xun Fan waved his hand magnanimously, "If it hadn't been for Xingyun today, something bad would have happened. I will report it to the Governor of Xiahou in the Ming Dynasty."
After saying that, he left wisely.
The crowd cheered, and the other two generals Tang Fang and Zheng Jun came to greet Yang Zheng after Xun Fan left.
Not long after, the backbone of the center and backbone of the left and right camps also came over to meet Yang Zheng.
From this moment on, Yang Zheng became truly famous in the Chinese Army.
Yang Zheng also likes the current atmosphere very much and feels like he has returned to the future.
A lifeless army certainly has no combat effectiveness.
After the crowd dispersed, Yang Zheng, Linghu Sheng, Zhang Te, and Zhou Yu gathered together and asked their trusted soldiers to keep them out.
Linghu Sheng bowed in front of Yang Zheng, "If I hadn't been a general today, I would have become a useless person!"
Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
Zhang Te explained: "The torture in the army is the most severe. No matter how tough you are, you will be useless after you come out."
"Are my own people so cruel?" Yang Zheng couldn't believe it.
"The Yongliang army is completely devoted to Taifu Sima, and the Chinese army has always belonged to the Cao family. The Taifu and the general have been fighting for more than a day or two, so the Yongliang army and the Chinese army have no dealings with each other." Linghu Sheng clearly pointed out the situation in the DPRK.
Palm.
"Before the general attacked Shu, the Chinese army's camps also humiliated the Yongliang army. Now that the general has been defeated and Guo Huai has gained power, the Yongliang army will pay back twice as much!" Zhou Yu said solemnly.
Yang Zheng was speechless for a while.
"According to my observation, within a few days, the army will be assigned to its respective territories. I wonder what the general's plan is?" Linghu Sheng said.
Yang Zheng thought for a moment and said: "We are all in the Chinese army, so of course we want to go back to Luoyang."
Linghu Sheng's eyes glowed with a strange light, "I'm sorry to say this bluntly, but the general is a member of the Cao family, but the general is a man who has never forgotten his past. He has Deng Yang, Ding Mi, He Yan, etc. by his side."
My dear, the general will never be reused."
When it comes to these things, Zhang Te and Zhou Yu can't get in the conversation.
Cao Shuang is unreliable, and Yang Zheng has long known that.
In fact, he only has a vague concept of the future and doesn't know what to do.
And in this era of aristocratic families, what can I do?
It is nothing more than possessing some strength or power in order to protect oneself in the coming big changes.
Above the generals are the thousand-man generals, also known as the Duwei. With his background and poor appearance, without Cao Shuang's care, he would have reached the end of his career as a Duwei.
But the key point is that Cao Shuang is not very effective. It seems that he is quite complaining about his cheap father.
"If my subordinates' predictions are correct, this defeat will bring disaster to the general within ten years!" Linghu Sheng's words were astonishing.
Yang Zheng vaguely remembered that around five or six years after the Xingshi War, Sima Yi launched the Gaoping Ling Incident.
I'm not sure whether it's five years or six years.
After the Xingshi War, many people predicted Cao Shuang's downfall, and even Pang Hui thought about changing jobs.
After Cao Shuang's defeat, he no longer had any enterprising spirit, monopolized power and disrupted the government, and indulged in enjoyment.
In fact, Yang Zheng had expectations for Cao Shuang at the beginning. With the relationship between the two, he became his true confidant and made suggestions. It was impossible to defeat Sima Yi, but it was possible to outlast him. At least there would be no Gao Pingling Incident.
But then I thought about it, and I took it too much for granted.
During the Gaoping Ling Incident in history, I don’t know how many people reminded Cao Shuang, but they all turned a deaf ear.
Even if Sima Yi launched a coup and took control of Luoyang and the Queen Mother Guo.
Cao Shuang still had more cards in his hand than Sima Yi. He held the emperor in his hand, had soldiers and generals, and there were many people loyal to Cao Wei from all over the world.
Not all courtiers in Luoyang sided with Sima Yi.
But Cao Shuang still chose to surrender...
Mud can never hold up a wall.
If you follow him, you will only fall into the pit together.
And it's not that easy to squeeze into his inner circle.
Linghu Sheng said: "My subordinates believe that the general cannot return to Luoyang. The general will be defeated sooner or later, which will definitely affect the general."
Yang Zheng nodded and said: "Shen Sheng died inside, and Chong'er is safe outside. I have long wanted to ask for a job abroad, but it is not advisable to rush into this matter. I first asked Governor Xiahou to stay in Wugong."
The wounded soldiers in the city were looked down upon by others, but Yang Zheng regarded them as treasures.
But with the great god Guo Huai pressing down on his head, he really didn't dare to move.
Linghu Sheng pondered for a moment and then said: "We are all in the Chinese Army. It will be difficult for us to stay in martial arts."
Without a legitimate reason, others will definitely doubt your intentions.
After Yang Zheng thought about it, he smiled and said: "This is easy. Isn't there an outbreak of plague in martial arts? I can just pretend to be sick."
If he were infected with the plague, would Cao Shuang still carry him back to Chang'an for treatment?
Or Xia Houxuan will never leave him?
Linghu Sheng's eyes lit up, "The general is unparalleled in his wisdom."
Yang Zheng only listened to this.
Zhang Te and Zhou Yu looked at each other and said in unison: "The two of us are willing to follow the general to the death!"
This kind of conversation involves them but does not treat them as outsiders.
Both of them were from low-level backgrounds. Without Yang Zheng's promotion and special circumstances, they might not be able to move in their lifetime.
