Chapter 0813 Respite
The Yuan army retreated very quickly, and it would not be too much to describe it as wind blowing away the remaining clouds.
Long-term foreign invasion has allowed them to face different civilizations, different worlds, and different enemies.
Therefore, in dealing with the crisis, they had very rich experience, and they did not hesitate or reluctance to retreat. When the big flag fell, the entire army retreated and was entangled. They immediately turned around and fought with the Xihe Army without any sign of fleeing in a panic. The posture of fighting to the death is completely different from the traditional concept of retreat, that is, failure.
Win, but it's just a small victory!
It seemed that he had defeated the Yuan army, but Zhang Yuan did not feel happy.
It is undeniable that Zhang Yuan's sudden blow made all the efforts of the Yuan army's past few days wasted.
However, the Yuan army still had the upper hand, absolutely the upper hand. If the Xihe Army thought that it had defeated the Yuan army, it would be a big mistake.
Especially when he saw the Yuan army retreating neatly, Zhang Yuanke intercepted vigorously. In addition, the Xihe Army in Xihe Camp took the opportunity to come out, and the results achieved were not as good as ideal. Because the Yuan army had a complete set of experience in how to defend against the enemy's sweeping momentum when retreating.
"This time, did you win or not!"
Looking at the cheering soldiers of Xihe Army, Zhang Yuan's heavy heart suddenly eased a lot, and he said to himself firmly - he won!
A celebration banquet is essential. When the battlefield was quickly cleared and the evacuated Yuan army gathered again and sent troops back to test again, the entire Xihe army retreated into Chiming City and abandoned an empty Xihe camp for the Yuan army.
Everything was carried out according to the previous plan, and a large number of Xihe Army entered Chiming City. The atmosphere of this city was becoming more and more concentrated, and the careful spying of the people and the excitement of the soldiers showed a completely different contrast.
"Dongdong...!!"
Looking at the generals who sat down and drank and ate meat, and the atmosphere was hot, Zhang Yuan glanced past and sighed slightly. At any time, truly top talents are scarce. Even if he focused on cultivating and promoting them, it was already the limit that Xihe Army could achieve this in a short period of time. We cannot ask for too much.
At this time, the only thing that made Zhang Yuan feel relieved was that Chen Xun, who was sitting in the lower head, seemed indifferent. He sat there alone, and did not feel happy because of the victory. Apart from Chen Xun, several other people who Zhang Yuan attached great importance to were more or less not truly matured.
The times create heroes. The heroes create momentum.
Both are indispensable, but what they lack is an opportunity. Like Chen Xun, he transforms and becomes a dragon after a transformation.
Zhang Yuan said lightly: "I won, and the celebration is over. So let's talk about the crises and difficulties we should face!"
The hot atmosphere was swept away with Zhang Yuan's words, and the drunk generals realized that the atmosphere was wrong. They woke up one after another, sat there solemnly, looking at listening with a look of scrutiny, no longer joking or muttering to each other.
Zhang Yuan's face was slightly relaxed and said, "Have you won this time? I won, but everyone should not be proud, because we won, it was just a small victory. Instead of defeating the Yuan army as we saw, and abandoning Xihe Camp, what did everyone think of? Hum?"
Seeing that other generals didn't say anything, Zhang Yuan directly called out: "Wang Kai, say it!"
Wang Kai scratched his head and said, "Lord, I think we can concentrate our efforts to completely defeat the Yuan army by giving up Xihe Camp!"
"..." Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "It's very imposing, but I didn't say anything about it. Does anyone else have any different opinions?"
"Lord, if you give up the Xihe Camp, our general will burn his boats. There is only one way to go!" Chen Xun, who was not what Zhang Yuan was expecting, but a native general who Zhang Yuan also paid great attention to - He Zhong!
Like most of the Xihe military generals, He Zhong started in a short time and received a good education when he was young. During the Xihe Army's attack on the Han Dynasty, he joined the Xihe Army and rose rapidly in the army. He then joined the Xihe officer crash course. He had just graduated with excellent grades and was immediately transferred to Zhang Yuan to command the mountain barbarian army, who was naturally scattered.
Unlike Chen Xun's low-key and ordinary military management methods, He Zhong was much more outstanding and conspicuous. Under his leadership, Shanman quickly integrated into the Xihe Army and was very outstanding in various trainings, and was therefore noticed by Zhang Yuan.
Of course, governing the army does not mean leading the army. Without actual combat baptism, it cannot be truly recognized.
Therefore, He Zhong was very jealous of Chen Xun's sudden sudden force, so he put down his reserve and stood up to show off his own initiative.
"Are you going to the boat?" Zhang Yuan smiled indifferently and said, "Okay! Not bad!"
With He Zhong's lead, other military generals also came up and expressed their opinions, but the originally solemn atmosphere was diluted a little.
In the end, Zhang Yuan saw that Chen Xun had not spoken for a long time and asked, "Chen Xun, where are you?"
Chen Xun said, "Lord, I will finally think that Xihe will settle in Chiming City, and the consumption of food and grass in the city will increase, and even if you make a decision!"
"good!"
Zhang Yuan nodded, but a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Chen Xun's suggestions were good, basic, solid, and average. However, compared with his performance, it was more than one step away. It can be seen that he is indeed not a person who is good at performing, and he can only show his true nature and emerge in the most critical moment.
With Zhang Yuan getting a precaution this time, the morale of the Xihe military generals also fell a little, and finally got rid of a lot of vain and contempt for the Yuan army.
Of course, this only shows that only they know what the truth is, what other people think in their hearts.
At the same time, after the Xihe Army withdrew from the Xihe Camp, the Yuan army did not enter it. Instead, it burned the camp with fire. The cautious appearance did change a lot compared to before.
Looking at the sky-sky fire, Zhang Yuan's vigilance became more and more intense. When Xihe Army left, he prepared a gift for Yuan Jun in the camp. Now it seems that this gift has been ruined.
Although Zhang Yuan did not place much hope on this, he was still somewhat disappointed.
"It's getting more and more interesting, isn't it?" Zhang Yuan said lightly, as if he was talking to himself, and also to Wulianghetai, who was far away from the city.
Zhang Yuan looked up at the sky, and the stars were covered with stars. He suddenly thought of Xu Rong. A few days passed, and he didn't know how Xu Rong was doing.
