Before the sneak attack, Huang Song was also mentally prepared for the possibility of failure.
When the reality is really in front of him, he can't accept it—
He was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect to lose so thoroughly!
Thousands of soldiers and horses were sent out, but only 200 were left, and the rest were either killed or captured by the enemy.
Can this fight be fought
Huang Song felt that he needed to be quiet.
Everyone was called to discuss the matter. When everyone heard the result, they were silent. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look up at Huang Song's face.
They had high expectations for this sneak attack. They never thought that the enemy knew in advance, and they had already made preparations to deal with it.
This is really unexpected.
Huang Song is not a character who easily admits defeat, he said, "Do you have any other good strategies?"
A group of people discussed until dawn, and their spirits were extremely tired. After all, they were all woken up by Huang Song's people from the bed.
Cheng Jing seemed to be looking as usual, but he was actually a little sleepy. He hesitated for a moment, thinking it was the lord Huang Song who was calling him for something, he said, "Who is outside?"
As soon as the voice fell, an unfamiliar male voice came from outside.
Cheng Jing vaguely guessed the identity of the other party, and said solemnly, "Come in."
The person who came was a man wearing a dark brown Confucian shirt. For ease of movement, the man's wide cuffs were tied with wrist guards.
It looked a little less elegant and refined, and a little more neat and sassy.
This person exchanged a few words with Cheng Jing, Cheng Jing invited him to take a seat, and the other side sat down with a bit of caution and a little embarrassment.
As smart as Cheng Jing, he naturally guessed the purpose of this person, and as expected, the other party bluntly turned the topic to last night's sneak attack.
At present, there are not many people who know the situation of the battle, and the person in front of him also belongs to this ranks.
Cheng Jing said the result with a flat face, and the person who came was wide-eyed, as if he didn't believe the result.
"How, how could..."
The other party was constantly Ai Ai, there was a lot of sweat on his forehead, and his eyes flickered.
Cheng Jing said, "Victory and defeat are common affairs in military affairs, and the enemy's chess move is one level higher. Isn't this normal?"
The other party laughed dryly, responding to Cheng Jing's words, but he was beating the drums with anxiety.
He couldn't help being nervous and afraid. If Huang Song lost, he would definitely be liquidated by Jiang Pengji. Judging from Jiang Pengji's deeds over the years, this woman is generous and generous, but she is extraordinarily stingy in some aspects, and it can even be regarded as a slap in the face!
Cheng Jing's eyes were like ancient wells, and the waves were calm. He could see through the mind of the person who came, and laughed coldly in his heart.
"Sir, are you worried that my master will lose to Liu Xi?"
Cheng Jing asked abruptly, so frightened that the man's heart almost stopped, like a cat whose fur was blown out of fright.
"How, how?" The other party raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said shyly, "Although Liu Xi is famous, the lord is not weaker than others. The outcome of the two is not yet determined, and it is too early to make an assertion. How dare I raise the ambition of others and destroy the prestige of the lord?"
Cheng Jing snorted coldly, noncommittal.
He is extremely disgusted with duplicitous guys, and this person in front of him is one of them.
This person was born in Zuohe County and lived here for generations. He used many unscrupulous means to make huge profits. The fertile land in Zuohe County was taken up by their family and several other families, and almost all the local people were cheap tenants under their control. , and is also doing illegal human trafficking in private. Before Liu She went to Hu County, these families were the local emperors of Zhonghe County.
After Liu She took over Hu County, these local snakes were slowly subdued and suppressed by him, but they were honest for a while.
Before Jiang Pengji pretended to be sick, they heard the wind and judged that Jiang Pengji was dying soon, and their hearts became alive again.
It just so happened that Huang Song sent people to persuade him to rebel, and the group took advantage of the situation and betrayed Jiang Pengji directly, so that the fall of Zhonghe County was broken.
They waited and waited, three sticks of incense a day hoped that Jiang Pengji would kneel soon, but she was cured!
Not only was she cured, but the situation on the battlefield gradually turned towards her, and Huang Song was forced to lose Chenzhou and retire from Zhonghe County!
Knowing that Jiang Pengji's life was so tough, they wouldn't have decided to favor Huang Song, anyway, look around for a while.
It's too late to say anything now, they just hope that Huang Song can turn a defeat into a victory and make a comeback in one fell swoop.
However, this seems to be a luxury.
Cheng Jing said, "If there is nothing else, please do it yourself, sir."
This is obviously going to chase people away.
The man looked embarrassed, knowing that he was not welcomed by Cheng Jing, so he had no choice but to say goodbye.
Cheng Jing really didn't like him, not only because the other party was duplicitous, but also because this person didn't have the slightest number of Bs in his heart.
What virtue do you have that you can't see
For Huang Song, they are just tools that can be thrown away after they are used up, but they still think highly of themselves and think too highly of themselves.
Cheng Jing frowned, called someone, and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on them, and report immediately if there is any movement."
For such people, Cheng Jing does not expect them to have such a thing as "loyalty".
Now, at this juncture, I have not forgotten to listen to the words. It can be seen what kind of person the other party is. They will turn to Huang Song because of "Liu Xi is in decline". Who knows if they will betray Huang Song for the same reason? In the face of interests, any ethics can be put aside.
"Here!"
Cheng Jing thought it was good, this person really had the idea of changing jobs.
The boat Huang Song was about to sink, so of course they had to find a way to save themselves.
How to save yourself
They still have to figure out a way.
"This, this is not good? After all, we betrayed Liu Xi, and now we are going to betray Huang Song. Will Liu Xi accept it?"
"What's wrong? Those who make big things don't stick to the small details. As long as we can make great contributions to Liu Xi, even if Liu Xi doesn't reuse me, she will be embarrassed to settle the old accounts." The man rolled his eyes and said angrily. , "Huang Song has lost thousands of soldiers and horses this time, and there is only one Haozhou left. Do you think he has a chance of winning against Liu Xi? The defeat has already appeared, and I am afraid it will be difficult to recover."
In troubled times, things like morality are cheaper than the dung in the cesspool.
Manure can nourish the soil anyway, so what's the use of holding it with integrity
There are many loyal and staunch people in the world, but such people are arrogant and widowed, with few attachments, and more of them are speculative people.
As long as they provide enough benefits, they are not afraid that "Liu Xi" will not be tempted.
The companion was still hesitant and sighed, "Hey—how can this be good? If I had known this, I shouldn't have messed with my thoughts in the first place."
Going around or going to Jiang Pengji's tent to hang around, they wereted so much effort.
"What's the use of saying this now? It's the right way to find a way out as soon as possible. Once Huang Song is defeated, I won't be able to ask for it."
In order to save the head of Xiang Shang and the lives of the family members, some things had to be done.
