In front of the gate of Ping'an City, in front of a fire on a high ground, a group of miserable golden men were sitting around. A cursory glance revealed that there were at least three to four thousand people.

Their hands were tied behind their backs with ropes, and their whole bodies were wet. Under the guard of Ganren , they gathered around the fire to keep warm.

Seeing this scene,

Zhao Dutong was both happy and worried.

The happy thing was that this battle was a great victory. If it was reported to the imperial court, he would definitely be rewarded.

The sad thing was that There are too many captured people, more than 3,000 people, and there are only a few hundred people on our side.

If they resist, they will not be able to stop the opponent at all.

"Jia Baihu, how should this be handled?"

Zhao Dutong subconsciously looked at Jia Cong next to him, forming a kind of trust in him and directly ignoring the superior-subordinate relationship between the two.

Jia Cong had already Get ready and say softly:

"On the one hand, he asked Sun Baihu and the others to stop breaching the dike, plug the gap, and then open the gate of Ping'an City to let all the water inside flow out. On the other hand, he asked people to report to Xifeng City, which is closest to here, and request Send troops overnight for reinforcements. As long as the situation can be controlled before tomorrow morning, these Jin people will not cause trouble,"

Zhao Dutong nodded and said:

"Okay, then our troops will be divided into two groups. I will send someone to inform Sun Baihu that you will send someone to Xifeng City to request reinforcements. You must take advantage of tonight to control the situation."

"Okay," after the two agreed, Jia Cong found Shi Hu and asked him to go to Xifeng City in person, tell them the situation here, and ask for help to be sent quickly.

……

At this time, in the meeting hall of Xifeng City, the two generals responsible for the people's retreat were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

"I said, Lao He, can you please stop walking around in front of me? I almost fainted because of you," a man with a clean face looked at the bearded man in front of him and said dissatisfied.

The bearded man did not Without stopping, he said anxiously:

"Old Zheng, you can sit still. It's already dark now. The people of Ping'an City should have arrived, but they haven't arrived yet. There are more than 80,000 people. If something happens, you and I will have to move our heads. , the lives of the whole family are at risk."

Hearing what he said, Zheng Chengxu also felt angry, put down the teacup in his hand and said:

"If you want to say I'm anxious, I'm more anxious than you are, but if you want me to do anything, I've already sent people to meet you. No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait for the letter. Besides, the Death Soldier Battalion is yours, how do you lead it? , can’t even complete a simple escort order. I think the dignified Death Soldier Battalion has become even worse since Zhenyuan Marquis left."

Hearing that his colleagues belittled his Death Soldier Battalion,

He Yingzhao stared like a bull’s eye. , breathing heavily from the nostrils, his own treasure in the death camp, even his brother who was born and died together in the past, cannot be insulted casually.

He looked at Zheng Chengxu angrily:

""Old Zheng, tell me clearly what happened to my death camp, what's wrong with it,"

Zheng Chengxu snorted coldly:

"Humph, the death camp of 5,000 people at the beginning has become a mere 500 people now, and they can't even produce any impressive results. You must know that when Zhenyuan Hou was there, he could compete with the Jinren. , let’s not talk about the distance, let’s take today’s events as an example. If Zhenyuan Hou was in charge of this protection mission, not only could he reach Xifeng City early, but he could also harass the Jin people’s pursuit. But in fact, time has passed so much"It's been a long time, and there's not even a letter. I think you should just cancel the death camp,"

He Yingzhao said unconvinced:

"Who said that the Death Soldier Battalion didn't have a good record? The leader of the team, Jia Cong, wiped out more than 300 Jin people with fifty men. Isn't it enough to shock the government and the public? Zheng

Chengxun sneered:

"When a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, it still doesn’t know how to get a bargain. People are saying that Jia Hen is the second Marquis Zhenyuan. Shit, I think it’s too bad. He, Jia Hen, is not even worthy of carrying shoes for Marquis Zhenyuan. If he could be half as good as Marquis Zhenyuan, I would personally kneel down to apologize to him, but could he?"

"You,"

He Yingzhao just wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say.

To be honest, he quite agreed with what his good brother said. He felt that fifty people annihilating more than three hundred Jin people was too unbelievable.

There must be something in this. There is something fishy about it, so I don’t know how to refute it at all.

Moreover, after Zhenyuan Hou left, the Death Soldier Battalion was indeed far worse than before under the pressure of various forces.

These are indisputable facts and cannot be explained in a few words. He retorted.

He Yingzhao, who had nothing to say, picked up the tea cup next to him and drank it all in one gulp. Seeing that the tea in his cup was rudely drank down in one gulp, Zheng Chengxu had no choice but to put down the hand he had stretched out to stop him.

When people were anxious, a soldier suddenly came in and reported:

"Reporting to the two generals, one of them claimed to be an escort from Ping'an City, and asked to see the two generals, saying that he had something important to report."

He Yingzhao and the two looked at each other, with a dark cloud in their hearts.

Could it be that it was really safe? There is a problem with the people of the city, otherwise why wouldn’t it be Zhao Dutong who came to see him?

"Let him in quickly,"

"Yes."

After a moment, Shi Hu was brought up:

"Shi Hu, the commander of the third team of the Death Soldier Battalion, has met the two generals."

He Yingzhao looked him up and down and said in a deep voice:

"What do you have to report?"

""I would like to report to the two generals that I have come to report on the orders of Zhao Dutong and Jia Baihu. While we were escorting the people to retreat, we were pursued by two thousand enemy cavalry."

Before he could finish speaking, He Yingzhao suddenly stood up from his chair. He stood up, his expression changed drastically and he said:

"What, what did you say, were pursued by two thousand cavalry? How are things going now? How are the people doing?"

"General, don't worry, the people are safe and sound, the two thousand cavalry have been killed,"
