"Withdrawal of troops?"
When the news reached Wu Xian's camp, everyone was surprised.
Wu Xian pressed for details: "Is the news confirmed to be true?"
As the saying goes, "All is fair in war", pretending to withdraw troops can make people relax their vigilance, and then arranging troops to ambush on the road is not impossible. Wu Xian knew that Huang Lie's troops were treacherous, and they had been chasing them like mad dogs for so long, how could he just withdraw
The scout reported back: "It is confirmed to be true."
Because Huang Lie's troops did not retreat in a big way, the frontline scouts did not notice it immediately. When they realized something was wrong and sent people to investigate, there was no one in Huang Lie's camp. Judging from the traces left behind, they must have left in batches.
Realizing this, the scouts gave chase.
Judging from the direction of Huang Lie's troops' retreat, the chance of an ambush and a surprise attack was almost zero. In short, the crisis was resolved.
After listening to the scout's proud report of the details, Wu Xian finally let out a sigh of relief, and the depression that he had been suppressing for the past few days dissipated completely - if it was just Huang Lie, Wu Xian would have the confidence to go on, but with Zhang He's backstabbing, he had a headache.
The external crisis had not yet been resolved, and internal chaos had begun. Even though Wu Xian was certain that the Tianhai faction would not dare to really cause a mutiny, he was forced to make a decision by someone, and the anger in his heart was like a volcano that had been suppressed. Internal and external troubles made him haggard.
At this moment, the external threat was temporarily lifted, which gave him some space to relax. His eyebrows and eyes relaxed, and he looked more friendly to Cui Xiao and others. Cui Xiao asked: "Huang Xiguang's withdrawal is only a temporary solution, and he will come back one day."
Wu Xian sighed and said, "This man is very ambitious. When we were still in the alliance, he hid when there was a fight and racked his brains to weaken us. How could such a villain give up? Shangnan Gu Ziyi has already met with an unexpected death, and only Tianhai and Longwu are left..."
Huang Lie was not as bad as Wu Xian said.
In addition to hiding the trump card of the Sixteenth-level Grand Master, the Heavy Shield Warriors Corps also went out in every battle, but whether they went all out was something only Huang Lie knew. However, Wu Xian wanted to cooperate with Chen Tang, and stepping on the common enemy was a basic operation.
After all, both families are thorns in Huang Lie's eyes.
Cui Xiao's attitude did not disappoint him.
For a moment, the atmosphere was harmonious.
Wu Xian kept calling her "Sister Chen" and so on, and accepted it very naturally. However, the people under his tent showed a "physiological" reaction to this name - after a night, they still could not accept the truth, as if they were having a nightmare.
After a long while, Wu Xian sighed with regret and said shamefully: "Shanxiao's talent has been buried for many years. It's my fault."
Cui Xiaodao: "Mr. Wu's words are too serious."
How can a person's talent be judged in just a few words? The so-called "great talent" is just a polite word, and it is said in view of the cooperation between the two companies. Cui Xiao saw this very clearly with a cold eye. For Wu Xian, Cui Xiao's job-hopping is a foregone conclusion, and he will not and will never use him again. If wasting a little saliva can eliminate Cui Xiao's accumulated dissatisfaction in the past few years and eliminate the possibility of being tripped up by Cui Xiao in the future because of this matter, how can it not be worthwhile? If it were Cui Xiao, he would be willing to do it.
Since the two companies are interested in cooperating, they naturally cannot continue to fight alone.
Wu Xian was running out of food and grass, so retreating to Chaoli Pass for defense was the wisest choice. By combining the forces of the two families, Chaoli Pass would be safer and would also avoid the possibility of being attacked by other forces if they were left alone. Immediately, Wu Xian ordered the camp to be moved.
There was a small incident on the way to Chaoli Pass.
Huang Lie withdrew his troops without notifying Zhang He.
Wu Xian's troops encountered Zhang He halfway along the way. Zhang He's troops were quick to sense that something was wrong and retreated without even a second thought. They jumped faster than rabbits and could not 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.
At the same time, Chen Tang also greeted them equally: "Huang Xiguang and Zhang Yongqing, if we catch them one day, we will tear them into pieces!"
She squatted on the edge of the field, sighing as she looked at the fields.
Taking the Chaoli Pass Mountains as the dividing line, half of Yanzhou outside the pass had long been occupied by Zheng Qiao, who had cleared the fields and left not a single seedling in the fields. They did not care about the floods that washed and submerged them. Half of Yanzhou inside the pass was in the hands of the allied forces, so spring ploughing went on as usual.
All our efforts were in vain when the flood in Miaojiang River came.
The flood took several days to recede and all the crops in the fields were destroyed.
How can we replant now
The only way is to switch to planting crops in late spring and early summer, which must be relatively high-yielding and have a short harvest time.
Otherwise, Yanzhou would be plagued by famine this year.
She held her chin up to think about countermeasures. A large shadow fell on her head, and a pair of muddy big feet appeared in her sight. Chen Tang pinched his nose and dodged. Qian Yong's face darkened in a second: "Let me do these rough jobs, but you are lazy."
Because the situation outside Chaoli Pass was chaotic but the inside was calm, Chen Tang concentrated his forces to vigorously rectify the area inside the pass. Cleaning up the river silt, dredging the canals, reinforcing the river embankment, demolishing dangerous buildings... In short, these are all the work of a martial warrior.
Qian Yong initially thought that these trivial matters had nothing to do with him, but unexpectedly, Chen Tang did not play by the rules and named people by name.
He immediately looked fierce and said: I won’t do it!
Chen Tang "appealed to his emotions and explained the situation with reason": You eat my food, drink my water, live in my house, and I saved your life. I'm not asking you to fight in the battlefield, just to do some odd jobs. Can't you do something so unskilled
Qian Yong was so angry that his beard was about to explode. Seeing that he refused to cooperate, Chen Tang could only look for other people, such as Wei Yuanyuan.
Of course, the task of persuading Wei Shou was left to Chu Yao.
I don't know what Chu Yao said, but Wei Shou reported in obediently the next day. He led more than 500 people and cleared a ten-mile-long river channel in one day. The silt piled up on both sides and was then carried to the barren wasteland by others.
Qian Yong said sadly: You are a general after all...
How could I condescend to do such corvée and menial labor
Wei Shou said: It’s not like I’m working for free.
Qian Yong: …
Wei Shoudao: The military pay allocation for next quarter will be increased by 10%.
For soldiers, military pay is the most practical reward. Who goes to war to fill their stomachs? If you can get a quarterly 10% military pay reward for killing the enemy without risking your life, why not do it? He doesn't understand.
Qian Yong said: For just 10% of the military pay...
Wei Shou mocked: A full man does not know the hunger of a hungry man.
Qian Yong: …
Wei Shou's next words hit Qian Yong's soft spot.
Don’t you want to make a comeback
Because of their bravery, many generals with good backgrounds would cultivate their own trusted followers, ranging from dozens to hundreds to thousands. They cooperated well in battle and were the elite among the elite. Facing ordinary teams, one could easily defeat ten.
Qian Yong's cronies were beaten to the point where only a hundred or so remnants remained. If he had no ambitions, these hundred or so people would have been enough, but Qian Yong was obviously not satisfied with this, and he wanted to seek revenge on Zhang Yongqing. In addition, the size of the cronies was also related to the prestige in the army.
How could he be satisfied with being just an ordinary military general
Within two days, he joined the infrastructure construction army.
It wasn't difficult, but he was busy as hell while Chen Tang was daydreaming beside him, which made him unhappy no matter how he watched.
Chen Tang scratched his ear with his pinky finger: "What do you mean I'm 'lazy'? I'm the lord! If the lord has to do everything himself, wouldn't it make others look incompetent?"
After running the business for so many years, she's not allowed to relax for a while
Qian Yong looked at the martial energy lights that lit up from time to time, and the absurdity in his heart was still not eliminated - in his life, except on the battlefield, he had never seen so many brave warriors anywhere else.
He put the hoe on his shoulder and said sarcastically, "You are doing all this now, aren't you afraid that others will benefit from it in the end?"
After all, the future is still uncertain.
Qian Yong said: "Such as Huang Lie, Zhang He and his ilk."
Chen Tang rolled his eyes: "Do they think they are worthy?"
Qian Yong: “…”
Who is the one who is shouting that Shen Youli is humble
Is this guy next to him who is so arrogant that he looks down on others a ghost
Qian Yong snorted, "You'd better take it easy. After all, Wudan warriors are not ordinary people. These tasks are trivial..."
The resentment accumulated by a brave warrior is bound to explode sooner or later.
Chen Tang plucked a piece of wild grass and held it in his mouth, saying with an air of superiority: "You don't understand, I call this 'one arrow kills several birds'. I let warriors actively participate in labor, not only to improve the efficiency of the warriors, but also for other purposes. This is also the key to leading troops. I will not teach those who are not close enough to me."
Qian Yong sneered: "I'd like to hear your opinion."
Chen Tang said: "Martial warriors have more physical strength and energy than ordinary soldiers. A group of energetic people are like huskies. Once they have too much energy, they will destroy the house. Too much energy needs to be vented. If it is not vented, it is easy to cause chaos. Over time, it will lead to a lack of morale, lax discipline, and a decline in combat. Some forces use the worst way to solve the problem. When they fight in a place, they indulge their soldiers to rape and plunder everywhere to satisfy their physiological needs. In this way, the hidden dangers are minimized..."
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 also has additional benefits.
Qian Yong muttered: "What a waste of food."
The loss is great and the food consumption is also great.
Chen Tang sighed and said, “So I have to work in the fields.”
She is under a lot of food pressure.
When dusk fell, Qian Yong washed his feet with clean water, wiped them clean, put on his combat boots again, and set off on his journey home, following the shadows. Other confidants followed him, chatting and laughing, and the content was nothing more than how much work they had done today and what to eat in the evening.
Qian Yong listened to these contents carefully.
There's an inexplicable complex feeling in my heart.
Suddenly, it seemed as if I was far away from the battlefield.
"... General, there seems to be some braised pork today... I heard it was specially transported from Longwu. I heard from other veterans that the logistics department fried sugar color and other things are amazing!"
Qian Yong laughed and scolded: "Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating!"
He doesn't want to eat pork that smells so bad.
But soon, he was slapped in the face. If it weren't for his extraordinary strength, who knows who would have eaten the bowl of meat.
He had just finished his meal when he heard the sound of pots and pans banging outside and couldn't help but look over out of curiosity.
A girl with her hands on her hips started arguing with the kitchen staff.
"What's wrong?"
Qian Yong also came over with a bowl in hand.
