Chapter 282 Analysis of Shandong Incident

Zhizhong has just returned from his overseas assignment and is reporting the latest news about the Southeastern Army's attack on Shandong from the four towns in northern Jiangsu.

Upon hearing this, I learned that the troops from the four towns had been fighting for ten days and had only just reached the southern border of Shandong.

Xiao Lang was immediately furious, thinking, if we move at such a snail's pace, when will we be able to return to Shandong? !
Seeing this situation, Li Huchen next to me also heard what was said. He was dissatisfied and angry. He slammed the table and shouted at the same time!
"Humph!"

"The General is right!"

"Damn it, these four damn towns are useless!"

"In my opinion, they are all idiots and cowards!"

"General! You and Master Qiu shouldn't have had anything to do with those cowards in the first place!"

"Rely on them?! Humph! We can't even think of catching up with any of the dishes!"

"General, I am not bragging!"

"Now our own team is strong and powerful!"

"It's just Shandong!"

"Why ask others to do it?!"

"Wait until we have completely picked up all the pieces of the southwest of the capital!"

"Let's just go directly to Shandong!"

"Till then, I, Hu Chen, will continue to lead the way for you!"

"Never mind Jinan Prefecture, Qingzhou, or Yanzhou!"

"I'll stretch my arms and legs and take it all. I'll give it all to him!"

"Those cowards from Jiangbei better stay out of my sight when that happens!"

"Or wow!"

"Why not, I'll just take care of them all at once!"

Li Huchen now had not known whether it was because of the strong liquor he had drunk, his blood was boiling and he had difficulty controlling himself.

Or he was just looking for an opportunity to win new military merits for his own troops!

Anyway, as soon as Xiao Lang choked, the fire was ignited, and he puffed out his big round belly, and followed the topic and started blowing hard!
Zhi Zhongkan was sitting nearby, hearing what was said. He couldn't help but think hard, and after he finished speaking, he hurriedly spoke, intending to calm down the hot-tempered Xiao and Li!
"Oh! All right!"

"Brother Huchen, stop adding fuel to the fire!"

"Come!"

"Old Xiao, both of you, please sit down first!"

"Don't be so hasty about everything!"

"In my opinion, this matter is not as bad as you think!"

"Unexpected, but reasonable!"

"Just think about it, the four general towns have been living side by side in the same small piece of land in Jiangbei in recent years!"

"They have always been hindering each other, and their relationship is not harmonious!"

"Right now, Ni Yuanlu, the old minister Ni, is going south with the crown prince to discuss the matter of going north to serve the king!"

"These generals and commanders are able to follow instructions and really go north."

"Well, actually, when I think about it, Lao Xiao, our previous plan can be considered to have been mostly successful!"

"Calm down and think carefully, is this the truth?!" Zhizhong suddenly paused here and looked at Xiaolang's behavior.

As he spoke, he saw that Xiao and Li seemed to have calmed down, so he did not wait any longer and hurried to continue the conversation.

"Hey, Lao Xiao, you!"

"We really shouldn't have too high expectations on the troops from the four towns!"

"Let's talk about this behind closed doors, brothers!"

"If the tens of thousands of soldiers from the four towns were deployed according to our plan and assigned to different regions, we would have recovered the entire Shandong region without any compromise."

"That"

"Oh, when we go there with the team, there will be some room for maneuver!"

"Do you say yes or no?!" Qiu Zhizhong said in a relaxed tone.

Hearing this, Xiao Lang's anger subsided and he gradually exhaled the foul air from his mouth.

"Ugh!"

"Yes, yes!"

"It has to be Qiu Feiyu!"

"Haha, Feiyu is right!" After Xiao Lang calmed down, he was like a tiger minister who agreed with his words.

"As for me, I just came down for no other reason!"

"I am mainly angry at their inaction!"

"After all, they are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Count the days! In less than a month, the Jiannu in the north will start to move further south!"

"Then the troops will descend from the north and head straight for Shandong!"

"Although the troops and horses in our team have grown stronger after several battles in the southwest of the capital, there are only about 7,000 or 8,000 of them!"

"And this army is full of newly recruited soldiers who have just surrendered!"

"We are not strong enough to fight. This is the real situation!"

"Tiger Minister!"

"You, don't bother pretending to be a big shot!"

"You know, any one of the four towns in Jiangbei has around 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers!"

"It's true that these individuals don't obey the rules, and they may not be able to fight in foreign wars!" "But when it comes to fighting among themselves, they are all experts!"

"You are currently the commander of a small cavalry battalion. It is commendable that you have such lofty ambitions!"

"But, everything must be down-to-earth!"

"From now on, quickly intensify the training of soldiers!"

"We don't have much time. In order to be prepared for the future, we must do our best to practice our internal skills so that we can use them against the outside world!" Xiao Jingchuan said bitterly and tried to persuade them.

"Yes!"

"I understand, Hu Chen!"

"General, don't worry!"

"Go back, we will reorganize our forces and strengthen our training!"

After hearing the instruction, Hu Chen straightened his body unconsciously, saluted with his fists, and responded solemnly.

"Oh, yes, and wow!"

"When you get out, you have to keep your mouth shut about what I told you today once you get out of this door!"

"Don't say a single word, do you understand?" Xiao Lang warned.

"what!"

"understand!"

"General, our Tiger Minister is usually a bit reckless!"

"But don't worry, I never make mistakes when it comes to big things!"

"I know the pros and cons of this situation!" Hu Chen assured, patting his chest.

"hehe."

"Okay, that's good!"

"you"

After hearing Hu Chen's confirmation, Xiao Lang also responded, thinking of ordering the man to return to the camp and withdraw.

But at this moment, Gu Changting suddenly came back from the small kitchen at the side door and interrupted the conversation.

"Eh?!"

"Mr. Qiu?!"

"Master Qiu is back?!"

"Hey, oh, this bowl is a little hot!"

"General!"

"Come on, hurry up, you should drink this hangover soup while it's hot!"

"Get rid of the alcohol!"

"Don't worry, you will have a headache later!" Chang Ting was concerned, his heart and eyes were all on his own general.

"Hehehe"

"Okay! I'll listen to you!"

"Eh!"

"Tiger Minister!"

"It's okay, just go back to the camp first!"

"The night patrol will begin soon! The city may not be peaceful on the first night. You should be careful and make sure the soldiers don't cause any trouble!"

"Oh, yes!"

"Take these two jars of wine too!"

"Don't make it like the gate of our government office, where the smell of alcohol always emanates from it!"

"Outsiders who don't know the details may think that I have just captured the city and am now living a life of luxury and debauchery, huh?!"

"Haha." At last, Xiao Lang started to tease again.

Hearing what he said, Li Huchen scratched his head and muttered as he moved.

"Oh, oh!"

"General, you, how can you be so old and bully me like this again!"

"Okay!"

"I'll go back to the camp now! Haha."

Hu Chen was a rough and reckless man, and without much effort he slung the two large jars of wine around his waist, swaying them from side to side, and ran to the gate of the yamen!
"Eh!"

"Remember, keep your mouth shut!"

"besides!"

"Don't drink too much of this wine!"

"But there is a night watch, and I am about to enter your tent and find you drunk!"

"I will not let you off easily!" Xiao Lang was worried and wanted to say more.

"I know, I'll make a note of it!"

"Don't worry, General. I know what to do. I know what to do!"

Hu Chen used both his hands to the utmost and had no time to turn around, so he just roared back in response.

Then, he left with a funny look on his face!
