Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 844 Disturbance
After giving the order, Shao Shude overtook the Tianxiong Army with a group of staff and entourage, and arrived at the Jiugou camp.

At this time, in Liang Jun's barracks, the clouds were gloomy and everyone was speechless.

"Come on, take this trash down and chop it up!" Suddenly, Zhu Quanzhong slapped the desk hard and said.

The soldiers rushed in, pressed Li Si'an to the ground, tied him up, and dragged him out of the tent.

Li Si'an is the military envoy of Xiongwei, and today he was defeated. Only 1 of the 400 people fled back, and the establishment system was lost. This will be rectified, it's miserable.

"Wait a minute!" Jing Xiang ran out in a hurry, admonishing him: "I hope Your Majesty will be merciful, this is not General Li's crime. Even if you are guilty, you will not die. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you a little bit."

"Your Majesty, my servant also asks Your Majesty to forgive General Li." Li Zhen stepped forward and said.

As soon as these two spoke, other generals and aides in the tent also stepped forward to persuade them.

Zhu Quanzhong glanced at everyone with a gloomy face, and suddenly sighed, and his expression suddenly became sad.

I saw him walk towards Li Si'an, untie the rope for him with his own hands, and said with a sad face: "I have used the army for [-] years, and I don't want to end up in such a field today. The army is innocent, and I am the only one to blame."

Everyone bowed their heads one after another, thinking of the wars in the past seven or eight years, and sighed endlessly.

The only thing worthy of praise is probably the attack on Shi Pu.Other times, it's all shit.

After careful study, Liang Wang's strategic mistake is certain.But if you were in that position, would you really not make a mistake?

Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin were beaten so badly, how would you choose?Let alone Yun and Yan Towns, which are about to fall, and concentrate on transferring most of the battle-ready soldiers to the west, to fight the Xia bandits to death?I'm afraid no one will.

Everyone underestimated Shao thief's determination and underestimated his strength.

Shao Shude, who integrated the towns in the northwest of Beijing, and wiped out the tribes through conquests and marriages, his strength should not be underestimated.It's just that everyone was deceived by the inherent impression, thinking that Guanzhong has been peaceful for many years, and the soldiers and people are unbearable, while Guanbei is too poor to support the army.But who would have thought that Bandit Shao would create a fortress in the south of the Yangtze River in Lingxia?

One wrong step, one wrong step, fell into the rhythm of Shao thief, and was led by the nose and beaten by him, even to this day.

It seems that everyone made no mistakes and tried their best, but they just lost, which is really inexplicable.

The negative impact caused by the combination of strategic mistakes and geographical disadvantages is fatal enough.

"Your Majesty, the Xiongwei army has been defeated, and the soldiers have lost their spirits. What to do, please make a decision." Jing Xiang saw Li Si'an standing up with sweat profusely, and said again.

"At present, only the king's order is to be obeyed, whether to go or stay, can be decided with one word." Li Zhen also echoed.

Zhu Quanzhong's expression moved slightly, and he said: "Do all the gentlemen think like this?"

"Only the king's orders are obeyed." Zoru, the generals, responded one after another.

The voices were not very uniform, but they all expressed their opinions one after another.

Zhu Quanzhong was a little relieved, everyone at least listened to him, which is good.Before that, what he was most worried about was making trouble.

Although he was slightly dissatisfied with everyone's thinking of running away, it was pointless to stay here at this time.The Xiongwei army was defeated. The morale of Feisheng and Longxiang's two armies was not high. Now they are frustrated again.

As for the Tutuan villagers, there were many casualties during the attack on the village, and their morale was even lower than that of the Yamen army.

They can barely hold the camp now, and no one dares to let them go out to fight.But as the saying goes, if you defend for a long time, you will lose. In the dead land of Vinegardou, there are no reinforcements outside, and the food and grass inside are only enough for more than a month. How can we defend?
The main army of the Xia bandits came up and surrounded them.They don't need to rush to attack, because no one will come to rescue in Bianzhou, and they don't need to besieged for help. They only need to dig trenches to besiege and wait quietly for a month.

"I want to lead the army back to Bianzhou, what do the troops think?" Zhu Quanzhong sat back behind the table and asked.

"Your Majesty, please give me an order." Everyone responded in one voice.

Retreat, this is what everyone wants to do, and it does not violate the interests of everyone, so naturally no one objects.

"But there must be a method for withdrawing troops..." Zhu Quanzhong paused, looked at the crowd and said.

There was a sudden commotion in the camp.

Zhu Quanzhong was startled, and just as he was about to send someone to ask questions, Marquis Yu came in to report: "Xia's bandit escorted Chang Zhijun, with dozens of generals, lined up outside the camp, and brought a coffin, saying to himself that the son's body was buried in it." I want to return the corpse to the king so that it can be buried alive."

"Patta" someone accidentally knocked over Maza.

The tent was eerily quiet, everyone bowed their heads in thought.Someone aimed at Zhu Quanzhong out of the corner of his eye, and quickly avoided it.

Zhu Quanzhong was surprised when he heard it, and then he was very calm.In fact, he had already been mentally prepared, and the arrival of the Tianxiong Army explained everything.It is meaningless to investigate how the Changzhi Army was defeated. The most important thing now is how to get out.As for the death of the son, that was nothing.Even if the whole family is dead, as long as he is still alive and can make a comeback, he can marry a bride and continue to have children. This is not a problem.

"Kill me too!" Zhu Quanzhong brewed some emotions, squeezed out a few tears, and said: "You Yu is my eldest son, he has been obedient since he was a child, and has learned martial arts. Under the city of Huazhou, angry thieves will scold me badly. The arrow was shot, and the thief was killed. Fang went out of the town of Bianzhou, internally and externally trapped. The army did not continue to feed, and the wild vegetables were filled with food, without any complaints. He also held a sword to protect my bed, so that I could sleep peacefully. Alas, I used to play with my children in the past The meaning behind the words is that I don't want to see the present..."

Zhu Quanzhong's passionate performance made everyone in the tent sigh.Many people were a little ashamed of their shameful little thoughts just now, thinking that they should accept the remains of the eldest son and bring them back to Bianzhou for burial together.

But at this moment, the noise in the camp became louder, and the sound of war drums could be heard faintly in the distance.

Zhu Quanzhong was startled, he didn't care to wipe his tears, he staggered a few steps, but saw someone came back and reported: "Your Majesty, the Xia bandits attacked the camp, and the Tutuan villagers in Kaifeng and Junyi counties clamored to go home and refused reinforcements." On the wall of the village, some people have already opened the camp gate and fled. Some people from the Xiongwei army also fled, and Marquis Yu went to stop them, but they were killed by the rebels."

"What?!" The surprised voice was not Zhu Quanzhong, but Li Si'an.

Hearing this news, he was even sadder than Zhu Quanzhong himself.After the troops he led broke up and came back, they broke up again before they had time to rectify. How could this make him feel embarrassed?

It's over, it's over!Li Si'an closed his eyes, only to feel the darkness.What kind of arrows and spears are perfect, what flying spears kill the enemy, without soldiers, they are nothing, it would be better to let the king of Liang kill them just now, and it will be over.

"Your Majesty, the matter is urgent! It's time to tighten military discipline, and not let more people shake the morale of the army." Jing Xiang trotted in front of Zhu Quanzhong anxiously, took his hand, and said.

"Go, go out and have a look." Zhu Quanzhong didn't care about performing any more, he brought all the soldiers with him, and stepped out of the big tent.

The generals in the tent didn't need to give any more instructions, they also left one after another at this moment, and went back to their respective tents to perform their duties.

There is no other way to appease, to appease, to suppress.

It was already dark at this time, and the sergeants had just finished their dinner and were maintaining their equipment in the camp.Suddenly they heard noisy and chaotic sounds, and they all went out of the camp to check.The officers should have stopped their reckless movement, but now military discipline has disappeared, no one is in charge, and the entire camp is in chaos.

"The king of Liang is here, go back to each battalion, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded!" The guards beat the running sergeants with their scabbards and shouted.

but no effect.

The sergeants quickly figured out the situation. Seeing that the officers were also hesitating, many of them called their friends and secretly followed the rebels out of the camp.

Jing Xiang and Li Zhen followed behind Zhu Quanzhong, their hearts went cold.

Once upon a time, this was a strong army that prohibited orders.Liang Wang is the most strict military discipline, and he will be punished for the slightest offense. Beheading to imitate others is commonplace.But what happened?It has only been less than eight years, and it has become such a virtue, why?
Not far away, officers came out to rectify order.They gathered some people, put on armor and armed them, and went to close the gate of the camp to suppress the fleeing soldiers.At this time, there are still people who are willing to come out to maintain order. It can be said that they are the spiritual remnants of the strong army eight years ago.Reluctantly, more and more soldiers fled, almost becoming an avalanche. They were helpless, and they were quickly washed away.

Finally someone couldn't help but make a move.

A group of sergeants drew their bows and shot at the running crowd, screaming endlessly.

"Your mother, dare not fight with the Xia thief, but greet your own brothers. Brothers, kill them, or no one will leave!"

"Cut them down, kill them!"

"Kill Liang—Jing Xiang and Li Zhen, it's these two bastards who came up with random ideas and caused us such misery."

"Yes! Killing Jing Xiang and Li Zhen, and offering their heads to King Xia, may make us rich."

"Where is Jing Xiang? Where is Li Zhen?"

"Where is Jing Xiang? Where is Li Zhen?"

In the camp, there were people shouting in twos and threes at first, and then more and more people shouted in unison, and the voice became louder and louder.

Under the defeat, the sergeants were panicked, but they didn't dare to attack Zhu Quanzhong, the founder of Liang Jun, and they were inconvenient to attack officers at all levels, so they could only drag Jing Xiang and Li Zhen out to vent their anger.

Jing and Li turned pale when they heard this.

The soldiers surrounded Zhu Quanzhong, not far away someone was looking at Jing Xiang and Li Zhen with malicious eyes, and his hands were slowly drawn to his waist.

Zhu Quanzhong's face was livid.He knew that things were not that simple, Jing Xiang and Li Zhen were his confidantes, making trouble against these two people was not much different from making trouble against him.Even if Jing and Li were handed over to be killed according to the wishes of the warriors, it would not help the matter.On the contrary, it will make your prestige plummet, and then you will be rushed over by the sergeants who are aggressive, making the scene even more unbearable.

"Your Majesty..." Jing Xiang shed tears.

He did not flow for himself, but for the great cause of King Liang.

"Go!" Zhu Quanzhong made a decisive decision, took Jing Xiang's hand, and stepped back.

Among the entire camp, only his personal soldiers and Ta Bai, his personal commander, were reliable, and he had to stay with them.
