Hearing that the old general Xiao Qianyou ordered the troops to retreat and set up camp, the supervisor He Long showed a look of dissatisfaction on his face. This guy was born with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and his appearance was ugly, but he was arty and elegant. He wore a silk scarf on his head and held a feather fan in his hand, just like an old god.
Now his face is full of black lines, but he is actually like a clown, saying arrogantly: "General Xiao, what do you mean? The Holy Emperor has entrusted you with an important task, asking you to lead an army to suppress the bandits. Now Zhongzhou City has been captured, and Jinghou's life or death is uncertain. Inside the city
The defenders suffered heavy casualties. If you don't launch an attack immediately to avenge many officers and soldiers, don't you think you can't bear to attack the rebels?"
Xiao Qianyou was shocked by the questioning. Anger surged in his heart. He wanted to cut him in two with a knife, but after weighing the pros and cons, he held it back. It was obvious that Zhao Hanting did not trust him, so he sent this old guy here.
As the supervisor of the army, the other party relied on King Zhao's confidant and ignored him at all. He often pointed fingers and gave orders, which was really too much.
But there was no way. Although He Long was an amateur in marching and fighting, in order to supervise Zuo Shi, he was the first important member of the court to follow Zhao Hanting, so he was highly regarded. If he was slightly dissatisfied, this guy would definitely report it to the current emperor, so Xiao
Qianyou will definitely not end well. He could be dismissed from his post and exiled, or he could be cut into pieces and die.
Xiao Qianyou suppressed the anger in his heart, and could only say in a low voice: "Master Supervisor, unless I have any sympathy for the rebels, these guys are causing rebellion, and I will destroy them. I will live up to your Majesty's expectations, but the city has been occupied.
, in just half a day, our team has traveled a long distance, and the officers and soldiers are very tired. Let’s take a rest for the time being and work hard to conquer Zhongzhou tomorrow..."
Many soldiers felt that what the old general said was true. He was considerate of his subordinates. There was nothing wrong with doing so. The battle had to be fought. Everyone was exhausted from running all the way. It was not too late to recharge their batteries before attacking the city.
, this old guy surnamed He is too hateful, he has no ability to lead an army to fight, but he just joins in blindly, and is not polite to the old general at all, which can make people angry to death.
The officers and soldiers focused their eyes on He Long's old face, hoping that the other party would restrain himself and agree to the old general's request so that everyone could have a complete rest. However, He Long did not give him any face at all. He rolled his eyes and scolded sternly: "Nonsense.
, it has reached such a stage now. The rebels have occupied half of the country of Zhao. The situation is critical. It has reached an urgent moment. How tired can the officers and soldiers be? They have to raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. Even if they crawl, they have to conquer Zhongzhou. No need to talk nonsense. Hurry up and give the order.
Launch an attack, otherwise our army will report it to the Holy Majesty, and you will be severely punished for delaying the opportunity to fight."
In full view of the public, the veteran general Xiao Qianyou was reprimanded so mercilessly. This was something he had never experienced before. After all, he was a senior figure in Zhao's military circles and had always had a high reputation and was respected wherever he went. However,
This old guy surnamed He is so proud of his favor, what does he think of him?
There were also Xiao Qianyou's two sons in the team, both of whom were at the rank of general. Seeing their father being treated rudely by the old thieves, they couldn't bear it, especially the second son Xiao Biao, who was upright and said angrily: "Whose surname is He? Don't bully him."
This time the Holy Father ordered my father to lead the troops to suppress the bandits. Naturally, it was up to him to make the decision. Why do you question..."
Xiao Qianyou was shocked and said hurriedly: "Shut up, you treacherous son, stop talking. Mr. He is eager to suppress the bandits. I can naturally understand it. Let's just do it. When will it be your turn to interrupt?
If you don’t want to retreat quickly.”
He Long became even more furious and said sternly: "You bastard, who are you? You are just a general. How dare you show off your authority in front of this general? If you commit any of the following, you will be punished. Don't think you are General Xiao's."
My son can escape punishment. Come on, take him down and behead him on the spot."
All the soldiers were horrified. They didn't expect that the old guy was so cruel and wanted to kill Xiao Biao. Naturally, no one came forward among the many officers and soldiers. Xiao Qianyou quickly begged for mercy for his son and said: "Sir, the dog is ignorant and offended you. Why?
Please forgive the villain and let him go. Besides, the two armies are about to clash. It would be unlucky to kill a general in front of the battle..."
He Long couldn't listen at all. In order to establish his authority, he was ready to kill the chicken to show the monkeys. Seeing that no one of the officers and soldiers moved, he became more and more angry. He scolded with a livid face: "What's the matter? No one obeys the orders of this supervisor? My
As for the men, they immediately captured Xiao Biao, tied him up and beheaded him."
This time, He Long came to assume the responsibility of supervising the army. He Long also brought over two to three hundred people, all of whom were carefully selected and tough people, including many masters. Naturally, they obeyed his master's words and immediately agreed in unison, "I obey."
One of the white-bearded old men was a guard of the old guy for many years. He was a master of Yanchangmen. His surname was Hong Yanchou, and he was nicknamed Thousand-Hand Demon Slayer. He immediately waved his hand, and a rope of special material flew out of his sleeves, like a long snake.
It suddenly wrapped around Xiao Biao, and with a tug, he tore him off his mount and fell to the ground.
"Ah..." Xiao Biao exclaimed, struggled to get up, and with a burning temper, he shouted: "Let me go quickly, what I told is the truth, why am I guilty..."
Hong Yanchou said in a cold voice: "You are a bold villain, you still dare to shout, you really can't shed tears until you see the coffin." Then several big men flew forward, moving as quickly as apes, they were all his disciples, they went over and pushed Xiao Biao down.
On the ground, if someone pulls out a steel knife, he will be beheaded.
Many soldiers were frightened and said in unison: "Save one under the sword..." The generals dismounted one after another. Almost all of the 100,000 troops led by Xiao Qianyou knelt on the ground. The sound was deafening and frightened He Long and others.
The disciples paused and looked at their master.
An extremely strange scene appeared below the city. Except for He Long and more than 300 people who were still on their mounts, the 100,000-strong army actually knelt down and begged loudly. It was simply unbelievable.
Qiu Yu and others on the city tower looked at it, their eyes widened, and they were quite puzzled. What was going on? Some generals with high level of cultivation were surprised to hear the remarks in the local team. Logically speaking, Xiao
Qianyou is the most famous general in the Zhao Kingdom. He should have full control over the officers and soldiers and have absolute command power, but now he was forced to do this by an old guy, even kneeling down.
Sima Yanran looked murderous and saw an opportunity. She said grimly: "It seems that the enemy team is full of conflicts and the opportunity must not be missed. While they are making trouble, let's shoot the arrow, Prince Ling, and then open the door."
If the city gate takes the initiative to start a battle, it should be able to inflict heavy losses on the enemy."
Regarding this proposal, a group of Feiyun Army generals all agreed and said excitedly: "What General Sima said is absolutely true. Prince Ling, please give the order, and we will definitely kill them."
"Yes, this opportunity must not be missed. The general and others will ask for a battle..."
Qiu Yu slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Don't underestimate the enemy. After all, it is an army of 100,000 people. Although we can take advantage by attacking at this moment and kill some of the opponent's people, I am afraid that we will also be injured. The gain is still not worth the loss. Everyone
When the generals listen to orders, they only need to be on high alert and beware of enemy attacks. I have my own countermeasures."
There is no doubt that many generals have already witnessed King Ling's strategizing, and they all admired him. Since King Ling said this, there must be a better strategy. Everyone did not complain at all, so they were ready.
Facing the fierce attack from the enemy, he was thinking about what method King Ling would use to deal with those enemies.
