Drunk King and Minister

Chapter 149 Defeat

"Old man, I really think of myself as a thing. It's not pleasing to look at it..." Hou An was cursing, but saw Han Zigao staring at a certain place in a daze, "What do you think?"

no response.

"Han Zigao!" Hou An raised his voice.

Only then did Han Zigao come back to his senses: "Ah? What's the matter?"

"Why are you in a daze?" Hou An frowned and looked at the place Han Zigao was staring at in a daze just now, but it was the woolen curtain put down by the entrance of the tent, "Is there anything strange?"

"Who is that person following General Zhou?" Han Zigao turned his eyes around the woolen curtain again.

The person standing behind Zhou Wenyu didn't have a high sense of presence, and Han Zigao didn't pay much attention to him in his early days.But just now, the moment the man followed Zhou Wenyu out of the tent, he glanced lightly at Han Zigao.

That gaze was so cold that Han Zigao, who lowered his head slightly, felt it instantly.

When he turned his head to meet that gaze according to his feeling, he only saw one eye revealed at the moment when the woolen curtain was lowered.

Coldness, hatred, and something that Han Zigao couldn't explain clearly.

"You mean, Xiong Tanlang?" Hou An smiled nonchalantly, "Is there any problem?"

Han Zigao hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Look at his strange face, and he has never heard of this name before. He is General Zhou's capable general?"

Hou Andu sneered: "What a competent general, just a reckless man who gathers people to make trouble."

"Gathering a crowd to cause chaos?"

"It is said that he made his fortune from the Yuzhang area. He gathered a crowd to rob him, but the government was unable to confiscate it, so he recruited a Bashan prefect. Later Zhou Wenyu was stationed in Yuzhang, so he voted for Zhou Wenyu." Hou Andu said, with a hint of sarcasm on his face. , "Such Xiao Xiaozhou also uses literature and education, and he is really old and confused when he is still in charge of a heavy duty."

Han Zigao smiled indifferently.

Hou Andu had great prejudice against Zhou Wenyu at this time, and Han Zigao could not agree with his comments on Zhou Wenyu.

"Zigao, speaking of it, do you think this crusade against Wang Lin will go well?" Hou Andu couldn't help showing a trace of worry when he thought that Chen Baxian had become emperor.

"Do your best and obey the fate." Han Zigao sighed leisurely, and moved his eyes to the distance.

Do your best and obey the destiny.Zihua, I will do my best to return safely.

After the two armies rounded up, they marched together to Yingzhou.On the first day of arriving in Yingzhou, Hou Andu had a violent quarrel with Zhou Wenyu.

Zhou Wenyu insisted on attacking the city, but Hou Andu wanted to continue westward.

The result of the quarrel was still undecided, but in the evening, Zhou Wenyu directly sent someone to bring a woman's clothes to the Hou'andu camp, implying that he cowered like a woman.Hou Andu was furious immediately, and he drew his sword and wanted to chop off the soldier who brought the clothes.Fortunately, Han Zigao happened to be there too, so he stopped him firmly.

"Why stop me, Zhou Wenyu is really deceiving people too much!" The little soldier bumped and ran away at Han Zigao's signal, Hou An felt annoyed, and took all his anger on Han Zigao.

Han Zigao didn't bother to talk to Hou Andu, he poured himself a cup of tea, drank the tea slowly and flipped through the book of war while Hou Andu walked around by himself, muttering and cursing.

Tired of walking and cursing, I just sat down and took the teapot and poured it into my mouth.

"What? Stop scolding?" Han Zigao looked calm and unwavering, looking at Hou Andu with a half-smile.

Hou An hesitated for a moment, and said coyly, "Thank you."

After a pause, he added more coyly: "I'm sorry."

If Han Zigao hadn't stopped him stubbornly, and if he really killed the soldier, things would have gotten worse.

Han Zigao raised his eyebrows and silently accepted Hou Andu's apology and thanks without saying a word.

But what Han Zigao didn't expect was that this woman's clothes still shocked Hou'an so much that he ordered the whole army to surround the city the next day.

When Han Zigao knew about it, the order from Hou Andu had already been issued, and the three armies had already started to move.

Yingzhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Hou Andu also knows this, so he wants to continue westward.As a result, a woman's clothes made him change his mind.

In other words, Hou An has not changed his mind, but on the surface, he really can't hold back.

Han Zigao sighed.

If it was Chen Qian, he could stop it temporarily, but Hou Andu, he felt that his position and identity were really inappropriate.

That's all, let's do this first.

Sure enough, it was as Han Zigao expected.Yingzhou was surrounded for five or six days, but they couldn't get in at all.

At this time, Andu received a military report saying that Wang Lin had arrived at Yankou.Hou An was worried, and he didn't care about any face loss, so he immediately withdrew his troops to Zhuankou, where he was going to resist Wang Lin.However, Zhou Wenyu was stubborn and refused to leave Yingzhou. After arguing with Hou Andu in the end, he followed Hou Andu to Zhuankou.

It was also due to the unfavorable weather that there was a strong wind in Zhuankou in those few days.

To be honest, in the nearly 20 years of Han Zigao's life, he has never seen such a strong wind.

The strong wind was blowing all day and all night, and even camping was a difficult task, let alone attacking? !

Inevitably, Zhou Wenyu sneered at Hou Andu again.

Han Zigao roughly guessed Zhou Wenyu's thoughts. He was older than Hou'an, and he was a veteran beside Chen Baxian. Han Zigao remembered that Chen Qian called Zhou Wenyu "Brother Jingde" respectfully, but Hou'an was a young general. Just from a thousand households to his current position, the power and status are comparable to him, but they don't give him any face.

Zhou Wenyu's resentment towards Hou Andu can be imagined.

Han Zigao's heart gradually became uneasy. When marching and fighting, he was most afraid of discord in the army.In this battle, there were some unknown divisions, and Hou Andu and Zhou Wenyu were at odds everywhere, causing the entire army to be divided into two factions. On weekdays, there were constant conflicts and frequent fights.

I'm afraid that Chen Jun will have a big fall in this crusade.

Han Zigao's worries were quickly verified.

Because of the strong wind, neither Chen Jun nor Wang Lin could attack.Wang Lin led the army to station on the east bank, while Hou Andu Zhou Wenyu stationed on the west bank. After a few days of confrontation, the strong wind had just weakened for two days, and the two sides launched an attack at the same time.

As a result, in the first charge, because Zhou Wenyu's army did not listen to Andu's command, he missed the opportunity and had no choice but to withdraw.

What Han Zigao meant was to temporarily withdraw the troops for a confrontation, communicate with Zhou Wenyu before launching a charge.

As a result, Hou Andu killed one of Zhou Wenyu's subordinates without saying a word.Han Zigao tried to stop him, but this time, he did nothing.

The consequences can be imagined.

The second battle was on the water.Originally, most of Chen's troops were able to pass through the water. It stands to reason that they had a better chance of winning than Wang Lin's subordinates on the west, but they ended up in a disastrous defeat and withdrew their troops.This time, according to the soldiers of the Zhou Wenyu Institute, it was a general in Hou Andu's army who didn't understand the order and confused them, which made them mess up the formation.

Han Zigao didn't dare to draw a conclusion easily whether it was the real order or whether it was a cover-up, but in the end it was an indisputable fact that Hou Andu personally beheaded the subordinate due to fallacies.

The third time against the enemy.

Han Zigao did not go with him.

"The subordinates are in the back, just in case of any eventuality." The faint uneasiness in his heart was magnified infinitely at that moment.

"Are Captain Han afraid?" Zhou Wenyu sneered with squinting eyes, not letting go of any chance to squeeze Hou Andu, even Han Zigao, who was the captain of Hou Andu at this time.

Han Zigao smiled slightly, but did not answer.

"The subordinates are also stationed with Captain Han in case of any eventuality."

Zhou Wenyu looked at Xiong Tanlang who was transferred out of his account, his face changed a few times, and he finally agreed.

Just after ridiculing others, his subordinates said such words, which was also a slap in the face.

Hou Andu couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed twice.

Han Zigao focused on Xiong Tanlang.

it's him again...

Han Zigao was almost certain that this person had a relationship with him.

And this origin doesn't look very good.

The back of the army gradually disappeared from sight.

"Do you think they'll come back?"

Han Zigao turned his head to the side, and saw the inexplicable smile on the corner of the speaker's mouth.

His voice was hoarse and tinged with coldness. It was a voice that Han Zigao had never heard before, but it made him feel familiar for no reason.

Xiong Tanlang's face was covered with scars, especially the burn, which almost covered most of his face.Han Zigao was sure that he had never seen a person with this face before, but he didn't dare to jump to conclusions about this face before it was damaged.

"Why did the general say that?" Han Zigao said calmly.

"Do you think they'll come back?"

It's still the same problem, the words have not been changed, and even the tone has not changed.

This is a stubborn person.

Han Zigao's eyes flashed.

"This is disrespectful."

"Do you think they'll come back?"

Han Zigao: "..."

What kind of bone-piercing feeling was it, just like the feeling that those eyes gave him, the bone-piercing coldness.

Han Zigao walked away without saying a word, still with the same calm appearance.

Only he himself knew that there was cold sweat on his forehead.

He was actually afraid.

At this moment, nothing could bring him more panic than this one.

He was actually afraid.

Afraid of a strange man who just met and only met a few times.

Fortunately, this fear was only for a moment.But the incomprehension it left behind made Han Zigao restless for a whole afternoon, until something more urgent and urgent came ------

Chen Jun's entire army was wiped out!

Hou Andu and Zhou Wenyu were captured alive!

Han Zigao expected defeat, but he didn't expect such a crushing defeat!

The moment Han Zigao received the news, he ordered the soldiers staying in the camp to retreat quickly.

"Leave money and valuables along the way! Make no mistake!"

The best enemy troops to pursue are busy picking up loot, giving them more time to withdraw.

The soldiers under Hou Andu's tent were quick and quick, and they obeyed Han Zigao's order.As for the soldiers under Zhou Wenyu's account, Han Zigao secretly paid attention in his heart, if there were those who refused to obey orders, he would not mind letting Renyue be stained with the blood of his colleagues.

But unexpectedly, Xiong Tanlang gave Han Zigao's order to the soldiers again. In this way, the soldiers under Zhou Wenyu's tent moved quickly and nothing went wrong.

But this didn't make Han Zigao let down his guard against Xiong Tanlang.

After the remnant army retreated for five days, Han Zigao breathed a sigh of relief and ordered a short rest.

"What are your plans next?" Xiong Tanlang leaned against the tree, looking down at Han Zigao who was sitting cross-legged against the trunk of another tree.

Han Zigao was a little surprised, he was asking him?

In the past five days, they had not exchanged a single word. Adhering to the principle that well water does not violate river water, and the defeated commander was captured, the soldiers under his command did not fight as usual.

"Where's the general?" Han Zigao kicked the ball to Xiong Tanlang.

Given the current situation, it would be idiotic to continue fighting, but returning to the court like this is still under the condition of the general being captured, and the remnants of the army behind them are worth it. He and Xiong Tanlang will definitely lose their lives.

He didn't believe that Xiong Tanlang couldn't think of this.

"I can only find a way to rescue the general."

Han Zigao hid a trace of surprise in his eyes, and he had the same idea as him.

But what was even more strange to him was that Xiong Tanlang would actually respond. He originally thought that what he got would be silence or sarcasm.

This person, he can't understand.

"Han also thinks the same way. As for how to save him, he has to make a careful calculation..."

Han Zigao squinted at the dim full moon in the sky.
