When the news came back to Wu Xian's camp, everyone was surprised.
Wu Xian pressed for details: "Are you sure the news is true?"
As the saying goes, "Soldiers never tire of deceit." Pretending to withdraw makes people relax, and it is not impossible to arrange soldiers and horses to ambush them along the way. Wu Xian knew that Huang Lie's soldiers and horses were treacherous, and he had been chasing them like a mad dog for so long, how could he say to withdraw?
Just withdraw?
The scout replied: "I'm sure it's true."
Because Huang Lie's troops did not retreat with great fanfare, the frontline scouts were not able to discover it immediately. When they realized something was wrong and sent people to investigate, Huang Lie's camp was already empty of people. Judging from the traces left behind, they should have left in batches.
Realizing this, the scouts hurriedly gave chase.
Looking at the retreat direction of Huang Lie's troops, the chance of an ambush and a counterattack is almost zero. In short, the crisis is resolved.
After listening to the details of the scout's eloquent report, Wu Xian finally let out a breath of turbid air, and the suffocated energy in the past few days dissipated completely - if it was just Huang Lie, Wu Xian would have the confidence to continue, but with Zhang He stabbing him in the back,
He had a headache.
The external crisis has not yet been resolved, but internal troubles have arisen. Even though Wu Xian was sure that the Tianhai group did not dare to rebel, but someone forced his neck to make a decision, the anger in his heart was like a suppressed volcano. Internal and external troubles
, making him haggard.
At this moment, the foreign troubles were temporarily lifted, which gave him room to relax emotionally, so his eyebrows relaxed, and Cui Xiao and others looked a little more kind. Cui Xiao asked: "Huang Xiguang's withdrawal is just a temporary solution, not the root cause. There will always be a comeback."
Wu Xian sighed softly: "This man is very ambitious. When we were still forming an alliance, he hid in battle and tried his best to weaken us. How could such a villain give up? Shangnan Guziyi had already suffered an unexpected death, and only Tianhai was left.
And the Longwu family..."
Huang Lie is not as miserable as Wu Xian said.
In addition to hiding the trump card of the sixteenth-level master, the heavy shield warrior army must be used in every battle, but it is not very powerful. Only Huang Lie knows this. However, Wu Xian wants to cooperate with Shen Tang.
The common enemy is Ji Cao.
After all, both families are a thorn in Huang Lie's side.
Cui Xiao's attitude did not disappoint him either.
For a time, the atmosphere was harmonious.
Wu Xian referred to him as "Shen Mei", and he accepted it very naturally. However, everyone in the room showed a "physiological" reaction to this title - after one night, they still couldn't accept the truth, as if they were having a nightmare.
.
For a long time, Wu Xian sighed with regret and said with embarrassment: "It is my fault that such a great talent like Shanxiao has been buried for many years."
Cui Xiaodao: "Wu Gong's words are serious."
How can a person's talent be seen in just a few words? The so-called "great talent" is just a polite word, and it is said for the sake of cooperation between the two companies. Cui Xiao saw this clearly with a cold eye. To Wu Xian
As far as he is concerned, Cui Xiao's job-hopping is a foregone conclusion, and it will not and will no longer be possible for him to use it. If he wastes a little saliva, he can eliminate the dissatisfaction Cui Xiao has accumulated in the past few years and prevent Cui Xiao from being tripped up by Cui Xiao because of this matter in the future.
It's possible, but why isn't it cost-effective? If it were Cui Xiao, he would be willing to do it.
The two companies intend to cooperate, so naturally they can no longer fight independently.
Wu Xian's side was also running out of food and grass, so it was the wisest choice to retreat to Chaoliguan for defense. By gathering two forces, Chaoliguan would be safer and avoid the possibility of being attacked by other forces. Immediately, Wu
Xian ordered to break camp and set off.
There was an episode on the way to Chaoliguan.
Huang Lie withdrew his troops before he could notify Zhang He.
Wu Xian's soldiers and horses encountered Zhang He on the way. Zhang He's side keenly sensed something was wrong and retreated without any desire to fight. They jumped faster than a rabbit and couldn't be caught.
"This Zhang Yongqing——"
Wu Xian was so angry that he wanted to curse.
"This Huang Xiguang——"
Zhang He was also so angry that he was cursing others.
At the same time, Shen Tang also greeted them equally: "Huang Xiguang and Zhang Yongqing, if we catch these two, they will be quartered!"
She squatted on the field ridge, looked at the fields and sighed.
Taking the Chaoliguan Mountains as the dividing line, the half of Yanzhou outside the pass has long been cleared by Zheng Qiao. There is not a single seedling left in the fields, and the floods are flooding and flooding. The half of Yanzhou inside the pass is in the hands of the Allied Forces. Therefore,
Spring plowing is also carried out as usual.
Once the Miaojiang flood comes, all the hard work will be in vain.
The floods took several days to recede, and all the crops in the fields were destroyed.
Where is the time to replant now?
The only way is to switch to crops planted in late spring and early summer, which must be relatively high-yielding and have a short harvest time.
Otherwise, Yanzhou will really die of hunger this year.
She held her chin up and thought about the countermeasures. A large shadow fell above her head, and a pair of big muddy feet appeared in her sight. Shen Tang pinched his nose and hid, while Qian Yong's face darkened for a second: "You'd better let me do these rough jobs."
, being lazy.”
Because the situation outside the Chaoli Pass was chaotic and the interior was calm, Shen Tang concentrated his troops and vigorously rectified the area inside the pass. Cleaning up the mud in the river, dredging the canals, strengthening the river embankments, demolishing dilapidated buildings... In short, these were all the work of brave warriors.
Qian Yong thought at first that these nonsense had nothing to do with him, but Shen Tang did not follow common sense and named names.
He immediately said with a tigerish face: [I won’t do it!]
Shen Tang "moves with emotion and understands with reason": [You eat my food, drink my food, live in my life, and I saved your life. I'm not asking you to go into battle to kill the enemy and work hard, just do some chores.
,Can’t you do something with such no technical content?】
Qian Yong was so angry that his beard was about to explode. Seeing that he refused to cooperate, Shen Tang could only find someone else, such as Wei Yuanyuan.
Of course, the matter of persuading Wei Shou was left to Chu Yao.
I don’t know what Chu Yao said, but Wei Shou came to report obediently the next day. He led more than 500 people and cleaned up a ten-mile-long river in one day. The silt accumulated on both sides of the river and was picked up by others.
Barren wasteland.
Qian Yong said sadly: "You are a great general after all..."
How can you condescend to do such rough work as corvee?
Wei Shoudao: [It’s not like I’m working for nothing.]
Qian Yong:【……】
Wei Shoudao: [Next quarter’s allocation will increase military pay by 10%.]
For soldiers, military pay is the most affordable reward. Who doesn’t fight to have a full stomach? You don’t have to tie your head to your waistband to kill the enemy in exchange for a quarterly military pay reward of 10%. Why not do such a good thing?
?He doesn’t understand.
Qian Yong said: [For a mere 10% of military pay...]
Wei Shou mocked: "A man who is full does not know that a man who is hungry is hungry."
Qian Yong:【……】
Wei Shou's next sentence hit Qian Yong's weakness.
【You don’t want to make a comeback?】
Because of their bravery, many military generals with good backgrounds will cultivate their own troops of confidants, ranging in number from dozens to hundreds to thousands. They have a tacit understanding of combat cooperation and are the best among the best. Facing an ordinary team, it is not a problem to fight one against ten.
Qian Yong's cronies were beaten down to only a hundred remnants. If he had no ambitions, these hundreds of people would be enough, but Qian Yong was obviously not satisfied with this. He also wanted to seek revenge on Zhang Yongqing. In addition, the cronies
Scale is also related to military prestige.
How could he be satisfied with just being an ordinary general?
Within two days, he joined the infrastructure construction army.
It's not difficult, it's just that he is very busy and Shen Tang is wandering aside, which makes him unhappy no matter how he looks at it.
Shen Tang picked his ears with his little finger: "What do you mean I'm 'dodging'? I'm the lord! If the lord has to do everything by himself, wouldn't it make other people incompetent?"
After so many years in business, why don't she be allowed to relax?
Qian Yong looked at the rays of martial energy that lit up from time to time, and the absurdity in his heart was still not eliminated - except on the battlefield, he had never seen so many brave warriors anywhere else in his life.
He put the hoe on his shoulder and said in a strange tone: "You are doing this now, and you are not afraid of benefiting others in the end."
After all, the world is still undecided.
Qian Yong said: "Such as Huang Liezhanghe and others."
Shen Tang rolled his eyes: "Do they deserve it?"
Qian Yong: "..."
Who is it that keeps shouting about Shen Youli's modesty?
Is this arrogant man next to him a ghost?
Qian Yong hummed: "You should take it easy. After all, brave warriors are not ordinary people. These tasks are trivial..."
A courageous warrior has accumulated too much resentment, and sooner or later it will explode.
Shen Tang picked off a piece of weed and held it in his mouth, and said with an old-fashioned attitude: "You don't understand, I call it 'one arrow counts death'. I let the warriors actively participate in the work, not only for the courage of the warriors, but also for their efficiency.
, and there are other purposes, which are also the key to leading troops. If you don’t have enough friendship, I don’t even bother to teach them.”
Qian Yong sneered: "I would like to hear your advice."
Shen Tang said: "Martial warriors have more physical strength and energy than ordinary soldiers. A group of energetic people are like huskies. Once there is excess, they will tear down the house. Too much energy needs to be vented. If it is not vented, chaos will easily occur and it will last for a long time.
It will also lead to a lack of morale in the army, a lack of discipline, and a decline in combat operations. Some forces use the most "bad" methods to solve the problem. Once they reach a certain place, they allow soldiers to rape and plunder everywhere to satisfy their physiological needs, and the soldiers pass like a grate. In this way, the risk of war is reduced to the greatest extent.
Hidden danger..."
She smiled and said, "Of course I won't do that."
It's easy to vent your physical strength and energy.
Either work or train intensively.
The latter can improve combat power, and the former has additional benefits.
Qian Yong Digu: "Waste of food."
The losses are great, and so is the food consumption.
Shen Tang sighed: "That's why I have to work in the fields."
She is under great pressure for food.
When dusk fell, Qian Yong rinsed his feet with clean water, wiped them clean and put on his combat boots again, stepping on the shadow and embarked on the return journey. Other confidants followed behind him, chatting and laughing, and the content was nothing more than how much they had done today.
Live, what to eat at night.
Qian Yong listened to these contents carefully.
I have some inexplicably complicated feelings in my heart.
Suddenly, it seemed that I was far away from the battlefield.
"...General, there seems to be some braised pork here today...I heard it was brought here from Longwu on a special trip. I heard from other veterans that it is fried in sugar color and so on. It's a must-have!"
Qian Yong laughed and scolded: "Eat, eat, eat, all I know is eating!"
He doesn't care about eating pork that's so spicy.
But soon, he was slapped in the face. If it weren't for his extraordinary strength, a bowl of meat wouldn't have entered the belly of any bastard.
He had just finished his meal when he suddenly heard the sound of pots and pans being banged outside, and he couldn't help but look over curiously.
A girl had an argument with the back-of-house chef with her hands on her hips.
