"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 big 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 discouraged. He usually boasted that he was familiar with military books and had great martial arts skills, and regarded everyone in the world as nothing. How could he have expected that this time he would suffer such a defeat when he led an army for the first time?
.
"That's it, 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 his people and horses were exhausted, otherwise he wouldn't have poured himself a lot of 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 had happened before, Yuan Hong would have never had so much etiquette and would just throw away his hands and leave. But he had just suffered a defeat, and he was embarrassed to be so arrogant anymore, so he restrained some of his lawless character and talked a little bit.
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 raised his hands and saluted. Although Yuan Hong was not very happy, under Yuan Chonghuan's signal, he had to reluctantly salute.
"I wonder if General Yuan knows where brother Ru Ling is!" Gongsun Zan had not yet spoken, 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 something wrong with the forwards and were worried about Gongsun Mei's safety.
"I don't know!" Yuan Hong replied.
Yuan Hong really didn't know the specific situation of Gongsun Mei. The place where the two of them fought at that time was not far away.
Besides, considering the situation at that time, it was obviously important to escape, so why would Yuan Hong go to see if Gongsun Mei was dead or alive? After all, although their two families were temporarily united, in the final analysis, the relationship between the two families was indeed not the same.
How about it.
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 should put the overall situation first. After all, there is a formidable enemy like the Jin army in front of them, watching from the side. If they start fighting among themselves,
It will only make the enemy more advantageous.
"You're so outrageous, you want 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 Xi continued to say jokingly.
"Hmph, then Gongsun Mei is not strong enough and has no ability to kill him, so what does this have to do with me!" Yuan Hong resisted the urge to kill and replied with hatred.
"My brother is extremely brave. If it weren't for some people who were 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 is not easy for my brothers to join forces to fight against the enemy. It is not easy for my brothers to fight their way back to the bloody road. I am unable to pay attention to General Gongsun, and 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 military generals 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 not pay attention to Gongsun Mei's situation when he was fighting two powerful generals of the Jin army alone, and his fear of war was even more groundless. Moreover, it also hinted that Gongsun Zan had taken out two powerful generals of the Jin army.
It is impossible to say whether a strong general will deal with Yuan Hong or another strong general will be sent 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 wonder what evidence the general has!"
"Huh, 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 pay attention to Gongsun Shi's doubts at all. In Yuan Hong's view, the strongest one in Huguan was Ran Min, who ranked 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 was an opportunity in the future, when Gongsun Xi fell into his hands, he had to teach him to be a good person.
"In this case, the young general will just wait for the general's performance!" 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 provoking 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 an endless stream of 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,
Who has heard the names of these people before, but their strength is terrifyingly strong.
