Chapter 836 Retreat

Xun Xiu was injured, oh, Zhao Ming was also injured, but he was dragged down and fell while retreating. Compared with Xun Xiu, he was much better.

As a wise man, he felt that as long as he could move his mouth, he could command the battlefield, so as soon as Xun Xiu was injured, he naturally took over the Xun family's army and mobilized his troops.

Unfortunately, the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.

He only had one combat experience, which was the Battle of Xipingwubao. At that time, he still focused on defense.

At that time, he was one of the most trustworthy people in the Zhao family. Everyone shared the same enemy, so they could be used by him like an arm and a leg.

But it's different now. Even though he is more powerful than he was then, this army was built by Xun Xiu.

To be precise, it was the Yuzhou Army, but it was marked by Xun Xiu.

In this era, the army was basically like this. Unless the power of the court was very concentrated, the soldiers led by any general would be labeled as the other's.

Zhao Hanzhang was considered a strong one. She also gave the Yuzhou Army many things, but Xun Xiu still marked her with her own mark. Among the ten generals in the army, four had the surname Xun, and two were Xun's in-laws. Xun Xiu was injured, and Zhao Ming just showed his intention to command them directly. The generals headed by Xun Sheng forcefully led the troops to retreat on the grounds that the general was injured and it was not suitable to fight again.

Zhao Ming was furious, but in the chaos, Xun Jiajun subconsciously obeyed the orders of his general, and he couldn't control it for a while.

Zhao Ming was famous for his bad temper, but little did they know that he was also very tolerant.

Xun Sheng and others saw that although his face was ugly, he also retreated with the large army, so they thought they had convinced him.

The group of people ran for most of the day and retreated to the middle of Sui County. The army was basically defeated. Many soldiers quietly ran away on the road. If Zhao Ming hadn't still had two thousand troops on hand, plus the governor's office of Yuzhou and the governor's office of Chen County. With all the young officials present and restrained, the Xun army would probably return to its old ways like four years ago and directly plunder the villages and towns passing by to raise military supplies.

It was not until sunset that the disorganized Xun army finally came to a halt. At least Xun Sheng and others knew that the army could not be in chaos, so they tried their best to gather the army.

However, the army was attacked at night, and the news that the general was injured and unconscious had spread throughout the army. The morale of the army was unstable. Not only the soldiers, but also Xun Sheng and others were frightened.

Zhao Ming asked Changqing to rub himself with medicinal wine, tied his feet and stuffed them into his shoes. He endured the pain and got up, and asked: "Is Pingyi and Pingzhong here?"

Pingyi and Pingzhong were recruited by Zhao Hanzhang during the Battle of Xiping. They had three brothers. They first made a team, and later followed Zhao Ju and Zhao Hanzhang in the north and south, and are now the captains of the team.

When Qiu Wu left, he asked each of them to take a thousand people to stay with Zhao Ming, while their younger brother Pingxin followed Qiu Wu to ambush.

The two of them quickly arrived with their confidants. They were all selected according to Zhao Ming's requirements. They were smart, loyal, and had their own abilities.

Either they are strong, or they are fast, or they are hard-hearted and ruthless.

Zhao Ming stood up and led the brothers out.

Outside, Song Zhi, Chen Siniang and other officials were waiting. As soon as Zhao Ming came out, several people bowed and saluted.

Zhao Ming said calmly: "General Xun is injured, I'll go take a look."

Everyone responded.

Zhao Ming led them to the main tent to visit Xun Xiu. Xun Xiu's soldiers did not want them to see it, but as soon as Xun Xiu was injured, Zhao Ming became the person with the highest official position and the most power.

I wanted to stop him but didn't dare to.

And Zhao Ming said that he also brought the accompanying doctor.

As Zhao Ming walked inside, he ordered: "Go and invite all the generals. We will discuss matters in the main tent today."

The soldiers thought that Zhao Ming had a way to make Xun Xiu wake up immediately, so they immediately went down to call for help.

Zhao Ming really brought the doctor here, but the medicine boy beside the doctor was changed, as well as the entourage brought by officials like them.

Pingyi and Pingzhong also followed Zhao Ming with swords.

The doctor checked Xun Xiu's body and said to Zhao Ming: "General Xun's injury has stopped bleeding. He is not awake now because he lost too much blood. As long as he gets more rest and supplements with blood-replenishing medicine, he will wake up at noon tomorrow at the latest." Come."

Zhao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "That's good, that's good."

Xun Sheng and others who hurried over also heard it, and they were also relieved. They saw that Zhao Ming seemed to have really brought officials from the governor's office and the county governor's office to visit the general. Although they were a little dissatisfied with him for breaking into the main tent without permission, they still Still endured it.

Xun Sheng stepped forward and said: "Chief Zhao, you must be tired from running around all night. Why don't you go and rest first? General, I am waiting here. When the general wakes up, I will send someone to invite you."

Zhao Ming sat on the edge of the bed, right next to Xun Xiu. Hearing this, he raised his eyes lightly and looked at him.

Zhao Ming's face was solemn and he didn't speak. The tent became quiet for a while. Several generals who came over were a little flustered and lowered their heads under his gaze.

Although Zhao Ming is the governor of Chen County and has no control over them, he is responsible for many things in Yuzhou. Every time he comes to ask Zhao Hanzhang for military pay, food, military equipment, etc., he mostly contacts him. To be honest, even Xun Xiu, Sometimes I coward him.

Especially since his mouth was so vicious, Zhao Hanzhang had to be respectful when facing him.

Zhao Ming didn't speak, but looked at everyone one by one. The atmosphere became more and more tense, and everyone was even careful about swallowing.

When Zhao Ming saw that they all lowered their heads, he said: "In front of General Xun, I have three questions to ask you."

Xun Sheng immediately said: "Chief Zhao, our general is still asleep. If you have any questions, why not wait until our general wakes up..."

Zhao Ming just raised his eyes briefly, and Chen Siniang stepped forward and shouted: "Bold! Xun Sheng, even your general would not dare to be so rude in front of the county guard. Why, General Xun is sleeping, and you can't even follow the most basic rules?" Don’t you understand?”

Xun Sheng's face instantly darkened, and just as he was about to speak, Xun Ming grabbed him and whispered, "Fourth brother!"

Because of their sudden retreat, Zhao Ming and the officials of the Governor's Office had already accumulated a lot of anger, and they had to let them out.

Xun Sheng could only shut up temporarily.

Zhao Ming then stared at them with sharp eyes and asked, "You guys retreated without permission, have you ever thought about your comrades who were ordered to ambush you?"

Xun Sheng muttered: "They didn't go out with our general's orders, and we didn't know about it when they went out to ambush."

Zhao Ming asked coldly: "Have I warned General Xun that Shi Jun might attack at night? When the scouts got the information, did I immediately notify General Xun?"

The generals lowered their heads in shame. Xun Sheng's breath quickened, but he clenched his fists and couldn't say anything to refute?

"The second question is, have you ever thought about the people of Yuzhou behind you when you retreated without permission? What will be the consequences once Shi Jun enters Chen County from Tongsui County?"

The generals swallowed their saliva.

Zhao Ming's eyes became more and more sharp, and he stared at them and asked word by word: "You retreated without permission, have you thought about a major counterattack plan, and have you thought about how to explain it to Governor Zhao?"
