MTL - Wei and Jin Cooks-Chapter 836 withdrawal

   Xun Xiu was injured, oh, Zhao Ming was also injured, but he was dragged and fell during the retreat. Compared with Xun Xiu, he was much better.

  As a wise man, he felt that as long as he could move his mouth, he could command the battlefield, so as soon as Xun Xiu was injured, he took over the Xun family army logically and dispatched troops.

  Unfortunately, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.

  He only had one combat experience, which was the Battle of Fort Xipingwu. At that time, he still focused on defense.

  At that time, he was one of the most trustworthy people in the Zhao family, and everyone had the same hatred, so they could be used by him like an arm.

   But it is different now, even though he has a higher position and authority than then, this army belongs to Xun Xiu.

   To be precise, it was the Yuzhou Army, but it was marked with Xun Xiu's mark.

  In this era, the army is basically like this. Unless the power of the court is very concentrated, the soldiers led by any general will be labeled as the opponent.

Zhao Hanzhang is considered strong, and she did not give too much to the Yuzhou Army, but Xun Xiu still put her own logo on it. Four out of ten generals in the army have the surname Xun, and two are Xun's in-laws. Xun Xiu was injured, and Zhao Ming just expressed his intention to command them directly, and the generals headed by Xun Sheng took the lead to retreat forcefully on the grounds that the main general was injured and it was not suitable for another battle.

  Zhao Ming was furious, but in the chaos, Xun's army subconsciously obeyed the orders of his own general, and he couldn't control it for a while.

   Zhao Ming is notoriously bad-tempered, but they don't know that he is also very patient.

   Xun Sheng and others saw that although his face was ugly, they also retreated with the large army, so they thought they had persuaded him.

A group of people ran for half a day and retreated to the middle of Sui County. They were basically in a state of being defeated. Many soldiers ran quietly on the road. With the few officials present and restrained, the Xun family's army might be as old-fashioned as they were four years ago and directly plunder the passing villages and towns to raise rations.

  Until sunset, the disbanded Xun family army finally stopped. Xun Sheng and others knew that the army should not be chaotic, so they tried their best to gather the army.

   But the army was attacked at night, and the news that the general was injured and unconscious had spread throughout the army, and the morale of the army was unstable. Not only the soldiers, but even Xun Sheng and others were panicked.

  Zhao Ming asked Changqing to rub medicinal wine on himself, tied his feet and stuffed them into his shoes forcefully, resisted the pain and got up, and asked, "Is Ping Yi Ping Zhong here?"

  Pingyi and Hepingzhong were recruited by Zhao Hanzhang during the Battle of Xiping. They had three brothers.

  When Qiuwu left, they asked each of them to bring a thousand people to stay with Zhao Ming, and their younger brother Pingxin followed Qiuwu to ambush.

  The two quickly arrived with their confidantes, and they were selected according to Zhao Ming's request. They were alert, loyal, and each had their own abilities.

   Either strong, or fast, or hard-hearted, cruel enough.

   Zhao Ming got up and led the two brothers out.

  Outside, Song Zhi, Chen Siniang and other officials were already waiting. As soon as Zhao Ming came out, they bowed and saluted.

  Zhao Ming said quietly: "General Xun is injured, I'll go and have a look."

   Everyone should go down.

  Zhao Ming led them to visit Xun Xiu in the main tent. Xun Xiu's soldiers didn't want them to see them, but once Xun Xiu was injured, Zhao Ming became the person with the highest official position and power.

  I wanted to stop for a while but didn't dare to stop.

   And Zhao Ming said, he brought the doctor who accompanied him.

  Zhao Ming walked in and ordered: "Go and invite all the generals, we will discuss matters in the main account today."

  The soldiers thought that Zhao Ming had a way to make Xun Xiu wake up immediately, and immediately went down to call someone.

   Zhao Ming really brought the doctor here, but the medicine boy next to the doctor has changed, and there are entourages brought by them officials.

  Pingyi and Pingzhong followed Zhao Ming with a knife.

The doctor checked Xun Xiu's body, and said to Zhao Ming, "General Xun Xiu's injury has stopped the bleeding, and he is not awake now because he has lost too much blood. As long as he rests more and supplemented with blood-enriching medicine, he will wake up at noon tomorrow at the latest. Come."

  Zhao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "That's good, that's good."

Xun Sheng and the others who came in a hurry also heard it, and they were also relieved. Seeing that Zhao Ming really seemed to be bringing officials from the Governor's Mansion and the Sheriff's Mansion to visit the General, although he was a little dissatisfied with his trespassing on the main tent, but Still put up with it.

  Xun Sheng stepped forward and said: "Mr. Zhao, you must be tired after running around all night. Why don't you go to rest first. The general is here waiting for me. When the general wakes up, I will send someone to invite you."

  Zhao Ming sat by the bed, beside Xun Xiu, and raised his eyes lightly to look at him after hearing the words.

  Zhao Ming's face was serious, and he didn't speak. The tent fell silent for a while, and the generals who rushed over were a little flustered, and lowered their heads under his gaze.

Although Zhao Ming is the governor of Chen County, he can't control them, but many things in Yuzhou are managed by him. Every time he comes to ask Zhao Hanzhang for military pay, food, grass and military equipment, etc., he mostly contacts him. To be honest, even if it is Xun Xiu, Sometimes he also coaxes him.

  Especially because his mouth is so vicious, Zhao Hanzhang has to be respectful to him.

  Zhao Ming didn't speak, but looked at everyone one by one, the atmosphere became more and more stagnant, and everyone even swallowed their saliva carefully.

   Seeing that they all lowered their heads, Zhao Ming said, "In front of General Xun, I have three questions for you."

  Xun Sheng immediately said: "Mr. Zhao, our general is still asleep. If you have something to say, why not wait for our general to wake up..."

Zhao Ming just raised his eyes, and Chen Siniang took a step forward and shouted: "Bold! Xun Sheng, even your general dare not be so rude in front of the county guard. Why, General Xun is asleep, and you don't even follow the most basic rules?" Don't you understand?"

  Xun Sheng's face darkened in an instant, and he was about to speak when Xun Ming who was at the side hurriedly grabbed him and called out in a low voice, "Fourth brother!"

  Because of their sudden retreat, Zhao Ming and the officials of the governor's mansion had already accumulated a lot of anger, and they always wanted to let them out.

  Xun Sheng could only shut up temporarily.

  Zhao Ming stared at them sharply and asked, "You retreated without permission, did you think about leading the comrades who went out to ambush?"

   Xun Sheng muttered: "They didn't go out with the order of our general, and we didn't know when they went out to ambush."

  Zhao Ming asked coldly: "Did I remind General Xun that the Shi army might attack at night? When the scouts got the information, did I notify General Xun immediately?"

   All the generals bowed their heads in shame, Xun Sheng gasped, but he clenched his fists tightly and couldn't say anything to refute?

   "The second question is, you retreated without authorization, have you thought about the people of Yuzhou behind you? Once Shi Jun passes through Sui County and enters Chen County, what will happen?"

   All the generals swallowed.

  Zhao Ming's eyes became sharper, he stared at them and asked each word with a pause: "You retreated without permission, have you thought about a big counterattack plan, have you thought about how to explain to Governor Zhao?"
