In such a chaotic situation, the officers lost their prestige, and Ren Sui couldn't help shouting. A bunch of big-headed soldiers who were soaked like chickens rushed forward, and a group of brothers worked together to grab some wet wood. As soon as the situation became chaotic, I can't help now.

But the person I grabbed was only smoked and could have a hot water and hot rice, but what should I do if the person I didn’t grab it?

So the second bad news that the rainy season came was: after the cooking was cut off, people could only eat some soybeans and dried food in the rain. Fortunately, they couldn't starve to death, but they had diarrhea and were lying on the marching bed and hummed.

Of course, why did the Dongxia Army's supply convoy not arrive? It was because Lin Fengjin also put a lot of effort into it. As a local snake, don't they know the other party's convoy's route?

If you transport some people out with the five-mast ship, you will stop them directly. If Li Minghua, a veteran, may not be able to protect the food route in such muddy and harsh weather, let alone these mobs who are full of promotion and wealth, and are still fantasizing about surrendering on the other side?

On the fifth day of the rainy season, Fang Ming looked at the Dongxia Army camp in the distance with regret, and then sighed:

"Young master is planning and defeating the enemy without fighting... It's hard to imagine how could this group of mobs have been able to kill the city before, and be hard to separate from my elite subordinates?"

Lin Fengjin smiled, squinted his eyes and said:

"After this battle, Wu Zuocheng can be safe for at least three years."

At this time, the Dongxia army had completely collapsed. It was raining for four or five consecutive days, and the tents in the entire army were seriously scarce. There were generally fifty or sixty people crowded into the tent that originally accommodated only thirty people. Most of them even squeezed out eighty people. There was no hot food in their belly for two or three days, and the rear was even isolated from the world, with no news at all.

In this situation, even the stupidest person knows that his food tray has been cut off, but he doesn't have the strength to go out. His whole body is full of farts, his feet are smelly, damp, and a corner of the crowded tent is rotten. Such a life is really not something that people can live. It's better to have a good bet and escape home in the rain. As for deserters, I don't think much about it. I can go back!

Since last night, a deputy general led more than 30 personal soldiers to escape and became the fuse of collapse. However, this deputy general was also naive to think that he could escape. Their loose defense in the past few days has caused the entire camp to be completely penetrated. In fact, Wu Zuocheng's people have not done any big tricks... In other words, some medicines for animals to diarrhea have been put into the horse feed, but these medicines are not fatal, but they will make the animals' physical strength completely insufficient to support heavy physical work. The simple sign of symptoms is: diarrhea, uneasiness, and not walking far.

Without animals, you want to walk out of the muddy grassland hundreds of miles in the drizzling cold rain. You don’t think you are a god?

By noon this day, the huge Dongxia military camp was already destroyed by the cold wind and rain, and almost became a ghost!

Lin Fengjin waved his hand and the gate of Wu Zuocheng opened wide. The iron cavalry rolled out like a long dragon! The soldiers of the Sanli tribe were raising their energy for ten days and were rushing out wildly, forming a force of sweeping the world with the solemn cold rain. In an instant, they rushed into the Dongxia military camp like an iron stream, but found that at most half of the people left in the entire military camp were dull and depressed. There was no intention of resisting.

***

Three days later, Cui Jiang, the king of Dongxia, was in the morning court and dealt with the state affairs, and then he used to mention the topic of the Southern Expedition.

These days are the quickest time for the young Cui Jiang. He likes to hear others say that he is wise and wise, and also likes to hear good news ahead. The young man naturally wants to expand his territory, adhere to his ancestors' achievements, and go further. Now he sends Li Minghua to sweep a chess piece arranged by his sister on the grassland, which can be regarded as a test of his power and establishing his authority.

So when talking about this southern expedition, the tactful ministers would naturally flatter and say something that the king likes to listen to, and the king and his subjects would be very accompanied. At this time, what made Cui Jiang even happier was that when the sister who was behind the curtain talked about this, she didn't say a word and seemed to be speechless, so Cui Jiang was even more happy.

Of course, when he went to court, he could not just flatter and ignore the national affairs, so naturally some people cleverly tied the topic to Li Minghua's aftermath. When it comes to this matter, the king attached great importance to it. He personally ordered the general, but he devoted his life to his death and died in office. He couldn't help but say emotionally:

"General Li helped me to protect Dongxia for 30 years and was unbeaten forever. In addition to being rewarded, the name Wu should also be included in the posthumous title."

The words of this king made people breathe a sigh of relief. The word Wu was added to the posthumous title, which was established by establishing the achievements of the sky. The scriptures say: "The virtue of power is called Wu, the conquering disasters is called Wu, the punishment of the people is called Wu, and the punishment of the people is called Wu, and the praise of the poor is called Wu, which one did Li Minghua occupy?

In fact, even the only one who can add "Wu" to the posthumous title is the history of the earth: when Zhou of Shang was injustice, Ji Fa attacked him for "Wu King". Zhuge Liang assisted Emperor Zhaolie to divide the world three times, so he was named "Wu Hou". Yue Fei was loyal to the country and was the Fengbo Pavilion for "Wu Mu".

What kind of virtue does Li Minghua have? The emperor actually wants to add the word "wu" to his posthumous title. It is nothing more than taking a chance to please the emperor. Isn't it going to be laughed at if it is spread?

But at this time, since Prince Cui did not speak, Prince Cui was taciturn. The people of the Emperor Party originally occupied a small number and were unwilling to disobey the king's thoughts, so they all felt embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Prince Cui suddenly said:

"But, as long as the lord thinks that Li Minghua deserves his achievements."

Cui Jiang glanced at his sister in surprise. It was a rare consensus between the siblings, and said:

"General Li devoted his efforts and still showed his power to the grassland before his death, and made great military achievements for me, Dongxia."

Princess Cui stopped talking. At this time, Wang Hong, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue in the royal party, suddenly said:

"Although Wu Zuocheng is a wild and cold place, it is a business road that is about to break it down. It would be a pity to send officials to preside over the leadership. It would be considered that I, Dongxia, cut a nail on the grassland?"

As soon as he spoke, someone immediately jumped out and said:

"It's extreme, I think Lord Xu from the Ministry of Works can take on this matter..."

Lord Xu was a member of the Wang Party and wore a pair of pants with Wang Hong, so he stood up to refuse. However, he looked like he was playing hard to get, but someone jumped out to fight. He was fighting verbally. I think everyone knows that Wu Zuocheng is very rich. If he manages well, he will be afraid that he will not be less than tens of thousands of silver a year. As the saying goes, he is only for wealth. If he has money, he will admit that he is more bitter and cold.

But others are not fools. With such a lack of fat, who is willing to fall behind, almost quarrels in the court. The king was young and saw his subordinates fighting in an internal conflict, and he didn't know how to persuade him for a while. Princess Cui sneered and didn't say anything, and regarded the court as a vegetable market...

However, at this moment, a guard suddenly ran over. He was breathing, his crown on his head was a little tilted, but he felt a sense of murderousness. Some censors were less than the position of the month (the censors must impeach three people every month, and they heard about the news, otherwise they would deduct money). They thought about impeaching the guard's unwell appearance.

At that moment, the guards patrolling the hall met him and whispered a few words. At this time, for some reason, the officials who were talking noisy seemed to have noticed a sense of solemnity and kept silent, which made the entire hall suddenly quiet, and there was a kind of silence in the charity village...

The guards of the patrol hall immediately took a military newspaper from the guards who reported the news, placed it on the silver plate, and transferred it to the eunuch. He bowed and said:

"Borderland Emergency Report."

The king Cui Jiang suddenly felt a little nervous. If it was good news, he had already given instructions. It should be Lu Bu's success in Beijing and that it would be known to everyone.

After all, although Wu Zuocheng is located in a remote place, the significance of conquering him is particularly important. First, it is the first military operation he arranged since he took power. Second, it can cause a heavy blow to the princess party, which is too big to be defeated, and third, it also satisfies his passion. Those who offend my dragon face will be punished even if they are far away!

But the urgent news from this side came quietly, so it shouldn't be good news? Could it be that there was a small setback in Wu Zuocheng? Zhang Zhenhao's journey was not good at leading troops to stir up mutiny? Or was it the Western Rong and Northern Qi attacked the border?

Cui Jiang was thinking randomly, but there was a huge hidden worry in his heart. To be honest, the Western Rong and Northern Qi gangs were originally quite serious matters, but at this time, Cui Jiang would even rather have the two things he guessed to happen than something wrong with Wu Zuocheng!

The envelope was very thick, made of kraft paper, which was protected from rain, moisture and moth. At this time, the king was young and was worried. His pale and slender fingers were a little convulsed. He exerted force so hard that he didn't even tear the envelope open. This kind of thing fell into the eyes of the ministers, and many mature and stern ministers frowned. This was not a big deal. Why was the king so unbearable?

At this time, a sharp-eyed eunuch had already stepped up quickly and cut the envelope with scissors, revealing the white letter paper inside and the large vermilion seal. The young king couldn't wait to unfold the letter paper, but just glanced at it, and his whole person suddenly became dull like a stone statue. Even the letter paper slipped off his stiff fingertips without realizing it. Then he shook his body, and it seemed that it was difficult to stand. He took several steps back and sat on the throne, his eyes straightened.

The military newspaper said clearly:

The army that attacked Wu Zuocheng was defeated and suspected to have been completely wiped out.

The entire palace was filled with indescribable suffocation! I thought that I had just argued that I wanted to give Li Minghua a posthumous title "Wu" in it, a large group of people actually started fighting for Wu Zuocheng's custody power. What a irony!!!

No one spoke for the entire cup of tea! The Emperor Party was in a hurry and had no idea what she should say in the ups and downs, while the Princess Party used the greatest malice to keep watching coldly. As the saying goes, the more violent he jumped before, and the more he fell, he fell more miserably when he fell. Now speaking, wouldn’t he give them a way out?

There are still a large number of neutral ministers who saw the performance of the king and felt a faint sense of chill in their hearts. The country's fortunes were ups and downs and their destiny was vast. When I was the king, I didn't know how many difficulties and obstacles I had to go through. At this time, such a setback seemed to defeat him. So what should be the long years in the future?

At this time, another army report was sent. The first military report was submitted by the border guards, and the second military report should be the Fangshi Department of the Ministry of War. Because the second military report is often introduced in detail, it will be later when it is delivered.

The border guards are warnings, and the military newspaper of the ranks is to let the adults know how to defeat them!

Cui Jiang looked at the second military newspaper. The letter paper in his hand was making a "rattle" sound! The fonts on it were all shocking, and one word was slid by one...

"We accept defeated soldiers, either in groups of five or ten, with a blue-faced look, as embarrassing as hungry ghosts, and as tattered as beggars..... The army of sixty thousand may only escape these five or six hundred people. Please decide!"

Cui Jiang read the battle report over and over again: "The army of 60,000 may only escape from these five or six hundred people, and the army of 60,000 may only escape from these five or six hundred people!!" This sentence really hurt him deeply. Compared with the expected victory in Lu Bu in his heart, such a disastrous ending--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cowardly defeat was so cowardly that he was not even defeated by his armor-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as he thought of this, Cui Jiang said in his eyes:

"Shu He!"

He Shangshu of the Ministry of War stepped forward and said lightly:

"I'm here."

Cui Jiang said word by word, with hatred in his eyes:

"Start the Imperial Army, I want to lead the imperial army to personally mount this small Wu Zuocheng!!"

When Cui Jiang said this, he received the dead silence in the court, which was not as stirred up a thousand waves as he thought... Cui Jiang only felt a burning face and was very embarrassed. There seemed to be a fire in his heart. He was about to roar loudly to vent his resentment in his heart, and suddenly a clear voice said lightly:

"Go and take the military newspaper to show me."

The only one who can speak in this tone at this time is Prince Cui. Cui Jiang raised his eyebrows, obviously he was in a rage and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Naturally, a little eunuch took up the letter that Cui Jiang had thrown on the ground and presented it to Princess Cui. The face behind Princess Cui's veil was completely unable to see clearly, but in the end, he read the words that hurt Cui Jiang the most:

"The face is blue and white. It is as embarrassing as a hungry ghost, and as tattered as a beggar... The army of 60,000 may only escape these five or six hundred people!"

The ministers in the hall didn't know what happened, but now they know. The princess party is fine, basically grasping the basic situation of Wu Zuocheng's battle, but he never expected that this defeat would be so embarrassed!!

Not to mention those uninformed ministers, they were influenced by the royal party's crazy excitement. Although they were not the same as them, they also believed that this battle was almost certain. However, this fact was so cruel, it was defeated and completely wiped out!

The huge contrast made these ministers so hard that they could not speak, and then murmured for a while:

"Why is this, why is this!!"

Cui Jiang was also full of anger at this time, and finally couldn't bear it. He stood up from the throne, raised his arms and roared:

"You dare to be a thief, you dare to be a thief! I want to be the emperor to personally fight! I want to be the emperor to personally fight!"

However, the young king's behavior at this time was even more unbearable in the eyes of those well-established ministers. The panic he had when he was reading the military newspaper before, and the sudden anger now formed a sharp contrast, and the word "stubborn" couldn't help but emerge from his heart.

At this time, Princess Cui said lightly:

"Your Majesty, when will you still be chasing?"

Cui Jiang suddenly turned around and roared:

"I am dealing with state affairs, what is nonsense?"

At this moment, someone suddenly came from outside the hall to report:

"The general of the barbarians asked for a visit outside the hall."

Cui Jiang's mind was covered in his mucus at this time. After hearing this, he subconsciously waved his hand:

"Prince!"

After Cui Jiang saw the person, he realized that the general who was despised by the barbarians was clearly Zhang Zhenhao whom he appointed to take over. At this time, this person's face was pale, his whole body was tattered, and his eyes were blue, as if he was wearing people's clothes. As soon as he arrived in the hall, he immediately cried loudly:

"Your Majesty! Those killers actually deceived the superiors and concealed the great defeat. They even ignored me and beat me like this. You must be fair to the ministers."

At this time, the Ministry of War suddenly wrote another article. He Shangshu of the Ministry of War was neutral. After reading the article, he was furious and said:

"Zhang Zhenhao! You are so slanderous! You are so arrogant! You are so arrogant that you go to take over the team. Along the way, you are blackmailing the place. You are just 21 people accompanying you, and you actually ask the local government to pay 2,000 public food for the public! After you arrive at the Pass, you hear the news of the defeat in front of you, and you will stalemate. When the Pass General gathers the defeated troops, you are shameless and go to blackmail the silver. The opening of your mouth is as huge as 100,000, which will incite a mutiny!"

"A stupid guy like you. When you went to the fishing place, you only took seven or eight days to travel for a few hundred miles. You ran away in panic like a dog. It took only two days. You are such a fool who is terrified of even the mutiny of the defeated soldiers. You are really just defiling the word "General!"

He Shangshu has always had prestige. How could Zhang Zhenhao know that his bad deeds were found clearly? He was so speechless that he could not speak.

What's more, a nepotist like Zhang Zhenhao is not likable. When he competed for the throne, he still stepped on the heads of many generals. Later, he humiliated Li Mi, the Minister of War, and caused him to resign angrily. It can be said that he has a bad reputation and I don't know how many people he offended.
To be continued...
