Chapter 17 Old Zhang is very angry
Fifteen miles from the battle last night, in a slightly calm area, the main force of Chen's army is temporarily stationed here.
In this temporary stop, Chen Jun placed some simple camps. It was not an exaggeration to have a rest for so long.
But it was not because of Wang Gushan that the army's speed was dragged down, so no one knew.
Because Chen's central army tent was temporarily set up, it was relatively simple. The influx of mountain wind made the curtains sway inside.
At this time, officers at the level of the Chief of the Chen Army, all walked out of the inside with solemn expressions.
Just now, they were once again given a strict order, not to go to war without permission, and all actions must be followed by the instructions of the Central Army's tent.
Moreover, they also learned that Wang Gushan had not returned all night after leading the team to attack, which made them even more anxious.
You must know that their every move now must be careful. The invincible Great Wei Kingdom will always bring heavy pressure to their hearts.
If they were discovered by the main reconnaissance cavalry of the Wei army, they would probably die without a place to bury them.
"Oh! State affairs are difficult!" Chen Jun Sima sighed.
The remaining military officials shook their heads and the country was weak, so they watched the powerful country and wanted to survive in the cracks. Naturally, it was difficult.
But compared to the heavy weight of the generals outside the account, the atmosphere in the military account is even more depressing.
Zhang Yunliang sat in the main seat, his face as heavy as water.
This time he led his troops to the expedition, which was extremely unhappy, and he was losing troops along the way.
Although the army is far from being hurt, it has greatly damaged the spirit of the entire army.
This is undoubtedly fatal for the Chen army who went deep into the army alone. Especially when the opponent they faced was overwhelming the Wei army in the world.
"Wang Gushan is such a bastard!" Finally, Zhang Yunliang couldn't help but curse again.
Ji Hui on the other side was also very angry at Wang Gushan. This guy hasn't come back yet, so it must be a lot of danger.
It’s a pity that the army of the lieutenant department had to be buried with Wang Gushan’s stupidity. This is one of the few cavalrymen in the State of Chen!
"General, please wait a little longer. Maybe Wang Gushan is coming back now."
Although he felt extremely uncomfortable, Ji Hui still fulfilled his duties as a military advisor and began to comfort Zhang Yunliang. Anyone can be in chaos, but the commander of the three armies will never be in chaos.
"The people who responded to them have been sent out for an hour, but there is no news yet. I think Wang Gushan is afraid he won't be able to come back." Zhang Yunliang said with a cold face and hatred.
Zhang Yunliang has never been so angry about his subordinates who do not obey orders and actuate the army based on personal joy and anger.
He had known Wang Gushan's temper before. So when he met Uncle Chen, he did not agree with Wang Gushan's entry into this army.
Unfortunately, the Wang clan has a huge influence in Chen State, and even Uncle Chen is not willing to give them a shit.
In the end, Wang Gushan still became the captain of the cavalry, and Zhang Yunliang could not change it.
Ji Hui understood Zhang Yunliang's difficulties, and he also knew how important Zhang Yunliang's trip was to the victory or defeat of the entire war between the Chen, Qin and Wei.
Therefore, he could understand Zhang Yunliang's extreme anger at Wang Gushan's irresponsible behavior.
"General, Wang Gushan is indeed not worthy of being a general of the army. After returning to the country, I should report to the wise emperor and punish him severely." Ji Hui stood at the lower head, and his face was not lazy.
As the grandson of the office, Ji Hui actually doesn't like the children of the aristocratic race such as Wang Gushan.
But no matter how unacceptable it is, the office and the aristocratic clans do share honor and disgrace, so Wang Gushan cannot die, at least not under Zhang Yunliang's anger.
Looking at Ji Hui who looked warm in front of him, Zhang Yunliang also sneered in his heart. Ji Hui did not really want to deal with Wang Gushan, this obviously wanted to save his head.
Severe punishment means that you will not be beheaded?
But if you really think about the office, you should eliminate all the aristocratic tribes such as Wang Gushan, otherwise they will suck the blood of my Dachen Kingdom like lees.
He shook his head slightly, and Zhang Yunliang stopped talking. These were not something he could decide. Not all kings had the courage of the former Marquis of Wei.
Just when Zhang Yunliang was worried about state affairs, someone rushed out of the military tent, "Report that General Chen Xiang is back."
After a while, the sound of armor colliding came from outside the military tent.
Then, a middle-aged man with a long face walked into the military tent with great strides, and behind him was Wang Gushan's deputy general Gao An.
"Chen Xiang (Gao An) pays homage to the general."
"Get up!" Zhang Yunliang's voice came from the handsome throne.
After a brief salute, Chen Gao stood up and stood aside, waiting for Zhang Yunliang's inquiry.
"Tell me! How is the situation?" Zhang Yunliang asked in a irritable way after rubbing his eyebrows.
Chen Xiang looked at Gao An and then nodded slightly before he told everything in a complete description according to what he had learned.
"Report to General, the last general did not see the Wang Duwei. He encountered more than a dozen soldiers along the way and then broke into a defeat. Only then did the last general know about the Wang Duwei's defeat last night." Chen Xiang said in a deep voice.
"Under their guidance, the last general found the place where the king's commander and the Wei people last night, and was in a forest between two hills fifteen miles away from this place."
Chen Xiang glanced at Zhang Yunliang, and saw that he was looking at him steadily, he immediately lowered his head and continued:
"There are a lot of corpses of our soldiers lying down there. After sending someone to check, the Wang Duwei was not found."
"So... I guess... Wang Duwei may not die." Chen Xiang looked up slightly and secretly glanced at Zhang Yunliang on the main seat.
"Hmph, he is lucky." Zhang Yunliang said coldly.
After Chen Xiang finished reporting, the scene suddenly became quiet and the military tent was dead silent again.
Seeing that he had nothing to do, Chen Xiang stepped aside and the middle of the military tent became empty again.
At this moment, Zhang Yunliang raised his head and stared at Gao An who was standing aside, and said in a cold voice, "Deputy General Gao, explain, how can you stand here intact?"
Gao An's face tightened, and he knew that this matter was going to be questioned, and he had to do this by himself.
"Return to the general, the last general did not enter the battlefield with the Wang Duwei."
As soon as Gao An said this, the scene suddenly became three points cold again.
Zhang Yunliang was so angry that he laughed out loud. If you haven’t entered the battlefield, wouldn’t you be a deserter?
He dares to say it with confidence when he becomes a deserter. He is still in the military tent of the army. Do you really think that I, a general, are clay sculptures?
The more Zhang Yunliang thought about it, he became more angry. He raised his hand and slapped the table heavily, and said angrily, "Bastard!"
Gao An also knew that it was now a critical moment. Whether to die or live depends on what he said later!
If you can't explain your reasons, you have to accompany those brothers underground!
"General Rong, the last general tried hard to persuade Wang Duwei last night to not go deeper alone, and be careful of the ambush of the Wei people." Gao An tried his best to keep calm.
"But Wang Duwei didn't listen to me and insisted on destroying the group of Wei troops. He was brought in to ambush. But the general thought that he would come back and pass the situation to you."
"So, I won't go in at the end of last night!"
"Then why didn't you come back last night?" Zhang Yunliang continued to ask.
"The Wei cavalrymen were cruising outside the ambush, and they would not be able to escape." Gao An hurriedly said.
But Gao An didn't know which Wei cavalry he encountered last night were Zheng Dali and others.
If Young Master Gao An was watching the fun outside for a while, maybe he could really run back in advance and pass the news to Zhang Yunliang.
In the head of the military tent, Zhang Yunliang remained silent after hearing Gao An's explanation, frowned again, as if something was wrong that trapped him.
Seeing that Zhang Yunliang had no intention of expressing himself, Gao An finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he finally passed the test.
In the military tent, Zhang Yunliang didn't speak, and no one spoke any more. Everyone except Ji Hui wanted to wipe out his breath completely, for fear of being stimulated by Zhang Yunliang in the main position.
