The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 245 Conversation in front of the city gate
"Now let the soldiers get ready for me to fight at any time. As long as we hear the battle between Liangjun and Yangping, we will launch an attack immediately."

"Obey." Hearing He Zheng's order, all the ministries will accept the order.

He Zheng rode on the horse and looked at the darkness in the distance, waiting silently.All the generals around did not say a word, only the sitting horse stamped its hooves restlessly and neighed uneasily.

Soon, He Zheng didn't wait for a long time, and saw the flames on the Yangping city wall in the distance gradually increase, and then there were messy voices, but because the distance was a bit far, he also heard it. I don't know what is shouting over there.

But He Zheng didn't care much about it.The signal he was waiting for had come.

"Catch the traitor Li Chuang alive, kill him." He Zheng shouted, and then rushed towards the darkness in the distance.

After he rushed out, many generals and soldiers behind him also rushed out, all scrambling to be the first, for fear that they would fall behind, and the credit goes to others.

With a distance of more than ten miles, the battle between the soldiers of the Liang Army and the defenders in Yangping had only just begun, and He Zheng led the soldiers to the city of Yangping.

Since the cavalry was researched, the infantry is no longer the opponent of the cavalry, and the soldiers of the food army who have been defeated one after another have not had much morale. The lamb waiting to be slaughtered did not resist much when it heard the shouts of the pursuers behind it.

And the cavalry led by He Zheng were like hungry wolves breaking into the flock, and they were easily killed among the grain army soldiers who didn't have much resistance.

But at this time, He Zheng didn't follow the soldiers into the grain army.He is not as belligerent as Guo Dingxin, and he does not think he is as skilled in martial arts as Guo Dingxin.

With Guo Dingxin's martial arts, he could still suffer such serious injuries in the Liang army. It can be seen that there are also experts in the Liang army. Now that it is the final moment, he doesn't want to trap himself at this time, and eventually fall short.

Anyway, from the very beginning, he didn't think that he could get too much credit for killing the enemy. As a general, he only needed the credit for commanding.

So when he led the army to rush into the grain army, he deliberately set the speed of the horse under his crotch. After all the soldiers passed him and rushed out, he turned his horse's head and came to the side of the slope to watch closely. The battlefield, observing the battlefield situation.

After the Liang army and the cavalry fought for a period of time, they began to flee after realizing that they were no match for the other party. At first it was only one or two people, but it soon spread to the entire Liang army.

At this time, the defenders in Yangping City, under the leadership of Xue Zhongchang, began to go out of the city to fight back. Under the attack from both sides, the rate of defeat of the Liang Army was accelerated a lot.

The Liang army was originally much larger than the soldiers of the Yan army. Even if they were defeated one after another and were attacked by the cavalry of the Yan army, when they returned to Yangping, their own strength was still far greater than the sum of the soldiers led by He Zheng and Xue Zhongchang. many.

But at this time, the victory of the war is no longer determined by the strength of the two sides. The morale of the grain army has lost, and they have no intention of fighting, and flee around in the dark.

Looking at the few soldiers of the grain army who had fled below, He Zheng sighed a little, and said in a low voice: "The so-called defeat is nothing more than that."

After another period of time, the battlefield below was over, and the soldiers of the Yan army were cleaning up the battlefield, picking up corpses, repairing guns, and everyone was busy.

Seeing that the battle was over, He Zheng came down from the slope and walked towards Yangping City.

However, as soon as he arrived at Yangping City Gate, he saw Xue Zhongchang coming out from the city gate, He Zheng also quickly got off his horse, walked quickly a few times, and bowed his hands to Xue Zhongchang in salute.

Xue Zhongchang also bowed his hand in return.

In this great victory, both of them contributed a lot.So when the two of them were talking at the ceremony, they were smiling and full of joy.

After saying a few words of mutual praise, Xue Zhongchang looked behind He Zheng and asked, "Hey, why didn't I see General Guo?"

Although they are both officials under Changsun Ji, the relationship between Xue Zhongchang and He Zheng is not very good.Of course, there is no contradiction between the two.It can only be said that the two are just ordinary colleagues.

The two came from different backgrounds, and they didn't have any common topics. They traveled from the capital to Yanzhou together before, and the conversations between the two were all business matters, and they never communicated in private.

Moreover, Xue Zhongchang's personality is calm, not as detached as Guo Dingxin's. Not only can he quickly make friends with anyone, but he can also quickly improve the relationship with his colleagues.

"Oh, General Guo was besieged by the Liang Army in the previous battle with the Liang Army and was injured. He could no longer continue the next battle, so I asked him to find a place to recuperate for the time being. Now the Liang Army is being attacked. It is estimated that General Guo will rush over soon." He Zheng explained after hearing Xue Zhongchang's inquiry.

"I see." Xue Zhongchang nodded.

He didn't ask why Guo Dingxin led the army and was still injured by the siege of the Liang army.Compared with He Zheng, the relationship between him and Guo Dingxin is very good, so he is very clear about Guo Dingxin's personality.

Since He Zheng didn't answer carefully how Guo Dingxin was injured, no matter whether he guessed it was because of Guo Dingxin's character or not, it is not appropriate for him to continue asking.

After all, the two generals Guo Dingxin and He Zheng led the army to attack the Liang army, and Guo Dingxin was injured and stranded in the rear.If he inquired deeply, it would make the other party feel that he was suspecting that Guo Dingxin was deliberately staying behind because of his military achievements.

He Zheng looked up at Xue Zhongchang, and seeing that he didn't continue to ask, he swallowed what he was about to say just now.After all, in this matter, no matter how legitimate his reasons are, he will be somewhat suspected of crowding out his colleagues.

"Hey, by the way, General Xue, most of the Liang army is now fleeing to the Qin Pavilion on the other side of the river. If our army had ambushed somewhere when crossing the river, it would definitely give the Liang army a fatal blow. I don't know where General Xue is, but I'm ready." He Zheng opened his mouth and asked, taking advantage of the situation and shifting the topic aside.

"Haha, don't worry, General He. Not long after I took Yangping, I left a big gift somewhere for the Liangjun, which will definitely make the Liangjun and Liangjun satisfied." Xue Zhongchang said to He Zheng with a smile.

At this moment, the two were talking, but they saw Yi Yi Jiang approaching them from a distance, glanced at He Zheng, then leaned close to Xue Zhongchang and whispered a few words in his ear.
