The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 36: You Can't Die If You Don't Die

When Zhao Xu saw Wang Luan leading the remnant troops fleeing to Tangcang, he didn't give an order to chase after him, but just kept laughing.

Since you fled to Tangcang, it would be great, and it was worthwhile to send Gao Huailiang back to Tangcang, making a big circle.

It works now, Wang Luan deserves your bad luck.

Zhao Xu ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, while he and Miao Xun played chess carefree. Zhao Xu boasted that he knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but in fact he only knew a little, and he was not proficient in any of them.

Several games against Miao Xun ended in losing to him. Even if Miao Xun made him five sons, Zhao Xu still couldn't win.

So after losing [-] rounds, this guy didn't want to play anymore, and went out for a walk by himself.

On the other side, Zhao Kuangyin cleverly set up an ambush in Baijian, took the lead, and quickly controlled Baijian firmly.

Less than a hundred riders of the Baijian Shu army fled back, and they fled in all directions. The morale of the Zhou army was high, and everyone shouted long live.

Wang Jing's side also went very well. I don't know whether Zhou Jun was very brave or Shu Jun was too weak. It turned out to be a one-sided victory. This made Wang Jing and others surprised but more happy.

According to the pre-war agreement, the three armies began to slowly approach Qinzhou City, and the Zhou army was preparing to encircle it on three sides.Besides, Shu general Wang Luan, leading his few remaining soldiers, fled to Tang Cang like a bereaved dog.

He thought that as long as he got to Tangcang, he would be safe and his life could be saved.

But he didn't know that the place he thought was the safest place became his burial place.

According to Zhao Xu's arrangement, Gao Huailiang had arrived in Tangcang very early. Although he understood the intentions of Zhao Xu and the new envoy, he still doubted whether he would be able to meet the defeated Shu army this time.

Zhao Xu didn't say for sure, because nothing was absolute, and he knew that under normal circumstances, Wang Luan would definitely flee here, because this had already happened.

Miao Xun, however, relied on his own strategy to see that Wang Luan's defeated soldiers would flee here.

Now that this place was completely in the hands of Zhou Jun, Zhao Xu ordered the troops to hand over the defense of this place to the troops who came later, and he himself led the troops to join Zhao Kuangyin and Wang Jing.

At this time, Gao Huailiang of Tang Cang was basking in the sun boredly. He had been here for a few days and hadn't even seen a single Shu soldier. He himself wondered if Zhao Xu had made a mistake.

"Captain, there is a pair of Shu soldiers coming ahead, they seem to have just retreated from the battlefield."

A soldier came to report.

This little soldier is a student in the Forbidden Army Military Academy, otherwise he wouldn't call Gao Huailiang the captain.

Hearing this, Gao Huailiang's eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped up from the grand master's chair:
"Haha, it's finally here. It's not in vain that we waited for a few days. You tell the brothers that our opportunity to make meritorious deeds has come. Kill the enemy and get the reward, hahaha."

After speaking, he picked up the knife in his hand and went down.

Wang Luan was also very excited looking at Tangcang Town in front of him, as long as he passed Tangcang Town.At that time, I said that the Zhou army had a large army in Tangcang, and it was several times more than myself, so I had no choice but to retreat.

He rode his tired horse and said:

"Brothers, if you insist on meeting again, we will all be in Tang Cang soon.

We are safe. When we arrive at Tangcang, we will have a good meal first, then find some girls to have fun, and finally go back to report.

That is to say, we encountered resistance from the Zhou army several times stronger than our army, and we ran back after killing an enemy several times stronger than ourselves.

Don't let your mouth slip, otherwise everyone will not be able to escape, and no one will be able to bear the responsibility of disobedience and escape on the battlefield, and they will all be beheaded. "

The soldiers are not stupid. They and others fled in a big defeat, and they should be executed according to the law.

This military law is not a joke, after the investigation, everyone is done playing, without Wang Luan's order, everyone knows it well.

Now that my boss has ordered it, do you still disagree?Who would have trouble with their own heads?

Especially the general said that after entering Tangcang, he and others can have a good rest, and there are even women who can have a good time.

Hearing Wang Luan's words, all the soldiers were full of energy, and they were all full of vigor and vigor when they didn't have the listless look just now.

This scene made Wang Luan's nose crooked, why didn't these bastards see you so energetic when they were fighting?
Looking at the chaotic soldiers, Wang Luan ordered the soldiers of the Military Law Department to beat them with whips after yelling at them to no avail.

Even if you, Wang Luan, have a loudspeaker now, it may not be effective. Your voice can be loud, but the whip is effective.

.

After dozens of whips were whipped on some of the chaotic soldiers, they finally calmed down. The whips hurt their bodies.

After beating dozens of people in a row, everyone settled down, and Wang Luan shouted loudly:
"Brothers, remember that our good days are coming, go to Tangcang City to eat delicious food and drink spicy food."

A few days ago, I led the army and passed by here. At that time, I was still here for a day, and it was so cool to have a few beautiful ladies accompanying me, hahaha.

Thinking of this, he was excited. He didn't feel the frustration of losing a battle at all. Instead, it was more like returning from a victorious battle.

But what he didn't know was that not long after he left, this place was occupied by Gao Huailiang. The people in Tangcang Town couldn't bear the exploitation of Houshu, and they even hated Zhou Jun!

The irony is that when the local people knew that these troops came to recover Qinzhou under the imperial decree of Chai Rong, they actually spontaneously defended the city and rewarded the Zhou army spontaneously.

All of this is thanks to Wang Luan's misconduct here. Wang Luan and his soldiers only stayed here, but they raped and plundered and did all kinds of bad things.

The people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. When Zhou Jun came, coupled with Zhou Jun's strict discipline, he quickly won the favor of the people.

So what the people want is very simple, no matter who is the emperor, no matter which country they are in, they don't care,

As long as you can feed me and clothe me warmly, why should I care so much about other things?
If Meng Chang knew that Tang Cang was taken over by Zhou Jun, would he slap Wang Luan hard, but he has no chance to do so.

Wang Luan was still as arrogant as when he came here, even though it was awesome to pretend to be powerful.

Pretentiousness without strength is called an idiot. The current Wang Luan belongs to the latter group. After winning the battle, if you show your prestige, no one will say anything.

But now you are a bereaved dog, why are you showing off your prestige, this guy actually rode into the city in a big way.

The soldiers in the back also followed him into the city excitedly. Although following this general was not very good at fighting, other "welfare" was good.

The soldiers guarding the city knew him and did not stop him.

"Where is your Blind Zhang?" Wang Luan asked a soldier of a five-member squad immediately.

Zhang Xiazi is the guard of Tangcang Town, named Zhang Hu. He is not blind, but his eyes are a little abnormal, so Wang Luan called him Zhang Xiazi.

Zhang Hu usually hates people who talk about his eyes, and Wang Luan violated his taboo when he came.

But Wang Luan's official position is also higher than him, he dares to be angry but dare not speak out.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Huo is a good general. He was demoted here because he had no money to bribe his superiors.

After arriving here, he worked diligently and loved the people, and was loved by the people.But after Wang Luan brought his troops here, he turned the place into a miasma, and there were many complaints. He also complained to his boss, but there was no result.

He knew that these were those adults who had accepted Wang Luan's bribe, and his memorial could not reach the emperor's hands at all, so he was disappointed.

A few days ago, an army from Da Zhou came and successfully occupied this place. Under the persuasion of Gao Huailiang from Da Zhou, he surrendered to Da Zhou.

He was originally from the Central Plains, and now he would just return to his homeland, especially the strict military discipline of Da Zhou made him satisfied.

At this time, the subordinates reported that Wang Luan had come again, still as proud as before.

He knew that in fact he had fled back, met Gao Huaide's eyes, and asked someone to invite him in.

Zhang Hu was furious all of a sudden, this dog official was defeated by the Great Zhou army, and he dared to put on makeup in front of me, but thinking of his own character, he immediately put on a smiling face and greeted him:

"Yeah, congratulations to General Wang on his return from victory. I'll let someone prepare a banquet to clean up the general."

Zhang Hu was smiling all over his face, but he thought in his heart, you just wait to die.

"Blind Zhang, we meet again. Hurry up and get someone to prepare some food for my soldiers. Greet you with good wine and good food."

Wang Luan ordered Zhang Huhu very bluntly.

"Don't worry, General Wang. Lieutenant General, you will lead General Wang's infantry to the camp in the west. You will be greeted with good wine and good meat. Don't neglect, you understand?"

The lieutenant claimed that he had left, but the lieutenant was actually a small captain under Gao Huailiang, and everything was carried out according to the pre-arranged arrangements.

After a while, he heard the chaotic footsteps outside gradually receding. At this time, Zhang Hu was all smiles.

"General Wang, come and let me introduce you. This is General Gao. He just came from Chengdu on business. He stopped by here to see my brother."

Zhang Huo introduced Gao Huailiang to Wang Luan.Wang Luan looked at this General Gao, such a young General Gao.

He didn't have such a young general in his mind, but he dared to offend him, so he came forward to be polite.

"General Gao, where is Gao, let's get close in the future." Wang Luan began to make friends.

"I don't dare to be called a general. I'm just a captain. General Zhang is admirable."

Gao Huailiang said with a blank face.

It turned out that I was just a captain, and a low-level official position dared to stick a green onion in front of me—pretending to be an elephant.

In an instant, Wang Luan's expression became haughty, and death refers to such a person.

Gao Huailiang knew what he was thinking, looking at the west side, maybe it should be over there, and there is no use for you, so he took a step forward.

"I'm the captain, and I'm a captain of 2000 people, and I'm the one who defeated your army. Wang Luan, you made me wait."

"Listen, this general is Gao Huailiang, the captain of the Great Zhou Imperial Army Military Academy, and I have been waiting for you here for a long time hahaha"
