Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 988: Rushing in search of rare soldiers, someone is urging you from behind

"call……"

Wei Xiong took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it to calm down the myriad of thoughts in his heart. He looked at the big tent in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then took two steps forward, accidentally A wound was torn, and he suddenly took a breath of cold air.

The wounds on the arms, shoulders, chest, torso, and legs are all painful at this moment, and this pain makes Wei Xiong more aware of the current situation.

He couldn't help but sighed again, knowing that all the plans of Tuoba Liuxiu had come to nothing, his own future would probably come to an end, and the long-cherished wish of the family behind him would also be aborted because of this.

"I wonder what the general who conquered the north will do with me."

With this in mind, Wei Xiong looked at the people escorting him.

"These are Chen Zhi's personal soldiers. They are all capable and skilled. Among the five people who escorted me, two of them are as skilled as me. Not to mention that I am injured in many places now..."

Many of Wei Xiong's injuries were the result of tonight's hard battle, but more often than not, they were old injuries he had accumulated over the years. Because he fought so hard, the old injuries recurred.

But what really made him feel unbearable was the failure at the entire tactical and strategic level.

"This time, Mr. Sixth Cultivator repeatedly urged me to involve the Youzhou Army and to go back as soon as possible to assist him in suppressing the rebellion. In the end, I fell short. Not to mention the achievements and bargaining chips, even the entire army was unable to do so. I paid for it. If I had stuck to the city, I might not have been defeated so quickly. But because I was eager to fight, I went out of the city to attack and fell into a trap. I didn't even last three days. Now even I have been captured. If I go back, I will be defeated. General, my reputation has been ruined, I am afraid that even the Sixth Cultivation Master will not take me seriously, my Wei family...sigh..."

Thinking like this, his energy and energy declined more and more. Even the few soldiers responsible for escorting him could clearly detect the increasingly dense twilight energy in this man, and they couldn't help but become confused.

At the same time, in the big tent, there was a different scene. Chen Zhi was sitting in charge, with all the officials assisting him. Instead of being dejected, he was full of vitality. People were coming and going, and they were full of busy figures.

A lot of information coming from the barracks and from the garrison is being combined. Through the sorting and summarization of many staff and officials, a bird's-eye view of the battlefield is constructed to restore the entire process in order to label this war. losses, gains, and personal contributions.

"I didn't expect you, my lord, to have already arranged the internal response." Looking at the people coming and going, Ran Zhan's face was full of excitement. It was his soldiers who captured Wei Xiong this time, and this credit cannot be escaped. , so he was in a happy mood, "A row of gongs and drums are set up outside the city. If you beat them like this, let alone them, even our people will be confused!"

The staff were sorting out the battle situation, but Ran Zhan couldn't intervene, so he just watched from the sidelines, but he couldn't control himself, after watching for a while, he slowly came to Chen Zhi's side and started chattering.

Chen Zhi had to deal with reports from all parties, but after all, it was after the war. It was all finishing work. The main task was for the staff responsible for different aspects and fields to compile information and come to him to report it, so he could free up his hands. Otherwise, he would have to do it early. Then Ran Zhan was blasted away.After listening to Ran Zhan's words, he said: "This is also a coincidence. If it was not our own territory and we did not arrange so many people in the past, it would be difficult to do it. This is just an example. We cannot make regular plans and engage in real battles. We still have to rely on upright soldiers and constantly accumulate and strengthen our own strength. This is the best way."

Ran Zhan nodded quickly, and put out all the small things in his heart. Just now, he was really planning in his heart, whether he would use the sound of drums and gold as a fuss in the future, and make a plan or something to build his reputation.

As a result, Chen Zhi saw through it before he could even process it in his mind and gave him a moderate warning.

Looking at his expression, Chen Zhi suddenly pointed outside the tent and said, "Look at General Wei Xiong. He comes from a noble family and has a good family background. He is also excellent at arranging troops and formations. He has many achievements in the past. Xianbei went south, Murong Ren was just fighting in a small way, relying on the strength of his people and the power of the Murong family to achieve some success, but as soon as my army arrived, it immediately collapsed; while Wei Xiong attacked from the east to the west, tearing a hole in Youzhou. Even if the army besieged the city, the morale of the army was still stable and unwavering. If he managed it well and without using the Pingxing Artillery, even if I wanted to capture him, it would take several days. But in the end, he was not good because he couldn't calm down for a while. Qi, if you want to win by surprise, you will have haste rather than speed, and you will even fall into it."

Sure enough, with this typical example in front of him, Ran Zhan's expression immediately changed. Especially the outcome of this example looked quite miserable, and even made Ran Zhan feel a little scared.

After calming down his thoughts a little, he couldn't help but ask: "That Wei Xiong, has he ever had an example of a surprise victory in the past?"

Chen Zhi had a general understanding of Wei Xiong's life, so he said: "The victory of the strange soldiers was actually a small number. It is precisely because of the small number that it can be passed down in history. The crushing of the dignified soldiers shaped the general trend and directly opened up a peaceful and prosperous era. In the past, Wei Xiong led troops and occasionally made surprise moves. Especially before he established a firm foothold in the Tuoba tribe, there were several examples of surprise soldiers fighting for victory. But after he stabilized his position, he paid more and more attention to safety. The reason for this attack was There may be other reasons behind taking risks.”

"What's the reason behind this?"

Just when Ran Zhan wanted to ask more questions, Tong Hai hurried over and interrupted him.

Looking at this person, Ran Zhan frowned subconsciously and took two steps back. He seemed unwilling to approach him and felt a little conflicted in his heart. This was also the general behavior of the members of the Zhengbei General's Mansion towards spies and spies who were just beginning to take shape. .

Tong Hai was used to other people's gazes, so he didn't pay too much attention. He came directly to Chen Zhi and explained the reason: "We found a lot of documents and correspondence in Wei Xiong's temporary residence, most of which involved Tuoba." Ministry, explain the reason why this person is unwilling to surrender this time." After saying that, he handed over a pile of letters.

"Oh?" Chen Zhi's eyes lit up, he took it and took a few cursory glances, then nodded and said: "So that's it, it was indeed external pressure that made Wei Xiong give up on safe strategies, and even led him to invade Youzhou and occupy it. This trip to Gutun City was not from his original intention, but unfortunately, now that he has failed, I am afraid that even if he can return to the Tuoba tribe, he may not have a good ending, but this gives me a chance!"

While he was speaking, he saw the surprised expressions of the two people in front of him. He did not explain, but said: "Wei Xiong is already outside the tent, right? Let him come in, and let me meet this hero of the Wei family."
