Please ask me to be the emperor

"Wang Cheng'en mistaken me!" When Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, managed to escape with his life and returned to the familiar military tent in the camp, he looked at the familiar furnishings in front of him and thought about his high spirits before setting off.

The injustice that had been stagnated in his heart finally burst out, and a stream of hot blood spurted out.

"Sir!" "Supervisor!" Bai Guang'en, the left-behind general, and Zuo Guangxian and Chai Shihua, who had followed Hong Chengchou back for their lives, were shocked and quickly stepped forward to help Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou sat down with the support of the generals and took a breath. Then he waved his hands feebly and said: "I'm fine. Remember not to leak what happened today to avoid shaking the morale of the army!"

"Yes!" Shaanxi Commander-in-Chief Zuo Guangxian, Gansu Commander-in-Chief Chai Shihua, and Staff General Bai Guangen responded quickly.

However, they could not help but murmur in their hearts: The officers and soldiers have been defeated again and again, and their morale has been completely lost. How can you still shake the morale of the army?

I'm afraid that I'm not afraid of losing face and being embarrassed to see others!

How could Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, know what they were thinking? If he could really hear their voices, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood again.

After a while, Hong Chengchou stabilized his mind and then made arrangements: "Now the officers and soldiers have been defeated again, and the thieves' offensive is extremely fierce. Bai Guangen listened to the order: Be sure to guard the camp and not be taken advantage of by the thieves!"

"The general will get the order!" Bai Guangen knew that his family's life and fortune were at stake and he did not dare to slack off. He quickly resigned and personally strengthened the patrols of his soldiers to check for any slackers.

After Bai Guangen left, Hong Chengchou looked at Zuo Guangxian and Chai Shihua and said: "You two go and collect the defeated soldiers, reorganize the troops and horses, and be sure to count the number of people in time to prepare for another battle!"

"Yes!" Zuo Guangxian and Chai Shihua also quickly accepted the order.

It's just that Zuo Guang hesitated for a moment and slowed down a bit. After Chai Shihua, the chief military officer of Gansu Province, left his tent, he quickly returned to Hong Chengchou in three steps and then asked in a low voice: "Superintendent, what should we do about the 'death of a thief'?"

"What to do? Cold salad!" Hong Chengchou was panicking in his heart. The shadow of failure hung over his head. How could he have time to think about him?

However, after thinking about it, now is the time to employ people, and I still need to coax him to work hard. Hong Chengchou's expression changed and he said to him pleasantly: "It's not too late to make amends."

"You have contributed a lot in this battle, and I will remember it in my heart. Once I gain a little bit, I will protect you with my life, and I will make sure that your merits and demerits are balanced, and you will not be blamed by the court!"

Not long after, Shaanxi Commander-in-Chief Zuo Guangxian walked out of the Chinese Army's tent, only to see Gansu Commander-in-Chief Chai Shihua waiting for him outside for a long time.

Seeing Zuo Guang come out first, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile and asked, "I wonder what Brother Zuo is busy with, why are you so slow?"

How should he tell outsiders about his private transactions with Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces?

Zuo Guang first blamed him for being ignorant, and secondly blamed his soldiers for being the first to be defeated, so that the officers and soldiers were cut into two sections by the rebels, which ultimately led to the complete defeat of the entire army. How could he be angry with him?

He responded calmly: "The Superintendent has something to inquire about. Who dares to ask him?"

Chai Shihua didn't say anything when he heard this, but alarm bells rang in his heart for a moment. Although there were various subjective and objective reasons for the great defeat of the officers and soldiers. However, Chai Shihua, the commander-in-chief of Gansu Province, as the "midfielder" of the officers and soldiers, was the first to be defeated, and this was the main reason why things got out of hand.

Originally, Chai Shihua wanted to speak kind words to Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, promise some benefits, and seek leniency. Now seeing that these two people have taken the lead in colluding, I doubt their own intentions and feel uneasy.

Fortunately, he also knew that now was not the time to talk about this matter, so he pretended not to know what the two people were thinking, and just responded awkwardly: "That's true, the supervisor is in a bad mood now, let's try not to cause trouble. !”

It's okay if Chai Shihua didn't say this, but he did. Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province, suddenly sounded a little annoyed with him and thought to himself, "If it weren't for your incompetence, Chai Shihua, how could the officers and soldiers be defeated like this?"

The two of them were speechless for a moment, and each went to act as ordered, not to mention it for the time being.

Everyone left. Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, sat alone in the seat of the Chinese army tent. He looked at the empty seats on the left and right and was speechless for a long time.

Failed, failed miserably, unprecedented failure!

Hong Chengchou closed his eyes in pain, not knowing how to face Emperor Chongzhen and the princes in the DPRK! Although the previous battle was unfavorable, he could still comfort himself by saying: Although the officers and soldiers did not win, the thief chief "Shun Ze" is dead. Even though he was defeated, he still won, but he could still write brilliantly and the funeral was happy!

But this time, after suffering such a huge defeat, he could not turn defeat into victory no matter what.

"That's so stupid!" Hong Chengchou muttered to himself, covering his face, "The way I use war is not to think about victory, but to think about defeat first! One careless move will lead to the whole game being lost. Why did you bring so many soldiers and horses with you?" To the place of death in the west of the city?"

After finishing speaking, he asked and answered himself: "It's just a matter of luck, hoping that a single battle will determine the outcome and clear the world!"

Painful and difficult self-blame and introspection are always short-lived, but happy and easy sharing of the pot is not a day's work. Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

Hong Chengchou took advantage of the absence of the generals and quickly thought about how to escape the crime: "Ai Wannian did not act secretly, but was taken advantage of by thieves; Wang Chengen failed to stop the thieves, so that the army was exposed to the thieves' front; Chai Shihua was afraid of thieves If we don't fight, the Chinese army will be defeated, and the officers and soldiers will be cut into two pieces by the thieves, and the head and tail will not be able to communicate with each other."

Hong Chengchou thought about it for a long time. At some point, he noticed that the rays of light leaked in from the gap in the big tent. It turned out that it was a new day.

He collected himself, straightened his clothes and hair, and then Shi Shiran opened the curtain of the big tent. The brightness outside the tent was a bit dazzling. Hong Chengchou half-squinted his eyes for a while before getting used to the light outside the tent.

The soldiers outside the tent were doing their work dejectedly and feebly. There were even twos and threes who got into an argument over a little quarrel and even exchanged swords. They were immediately arrested by the military judge and several people, held aside and beaten with a stick.

Just when Hong Chengchou was thinking about going over to show off his official power and do something, Chai Shihua and Zuo Guang rushed back one after another. Only then did Hong Chengchou slowly remember what he had told them, and couldn't help but ask with dignity: "How's it going?"

Chai Shihua and Zuo Guang looked at each other first, and they were silent for a while. Zuo Guang was the first to react and report: "Our battalion lost more than 500 men and horses last night, and there are still about 4,500 people. Supervisor Biao Camp , I also helped to inquire, and nearly two thousand people have not returned, and now there are only more than three thousand people."

Chai Shihua also hesitated for a moment, then continued Zuo Guangxian's words: "Our battalion has only lost 1,500 men and horses, and there are still 3,500 people left to fight. However, now Gansu Commander-in-Chief Wang Cheng'en and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Ai Wan Nian Bu and General He Ren Long have disappeared and have not returned to camp yet!"

When Hong Chengchou heard this, his eyesight went dark, and he almost fainted to the ground. He couldn't help shouting loudly: "Send someone to search for me quickly. If you want to see the person alive, you will see the body if you die!"
