The army was defeated in the first battle, and it had been running for about forty miles before it stopped its defeat and began to gather the defeated troops and build a camp for the next day.

Tong Guan also understood in his heart that the reason why this battle was lost was more because he lost an inch for a while, which caused the army's morale to waver, which caused a fiasco.

Just when Tong Guan was sitting in the tent and feeling sorry for himself, the generals who went out with him also drooped their heads, walked in one by one, sat in their seats, and did not dare to say anything.

Although Tong Guan will complain about himself in his heart, and maybe he will self-examine in front of the same traitors, but in front of his subordinates, he will always put on a face of "I will not be wrong", looking at the head full of drooping in the tent, the raging anger in Tong Guan's heart began to burn.

"Bang la-la", the sound of the utensils on the table falling to the ground came, "Look at what you all look like, all lift your heads for me!" Then a loud shout came from the commander's position.

The generals raised their heads blankly, but they were greeted by Tong Guan's blood-red eyes, "Look at your appearance, all of them are gray-headed, where is there still a little bit of the appearance of the court generals, even those Liangshan thieves can't beat them, and the court spent so much money and food to support you, and when it comes to use, there is no one who can come in handy..."Tong Guan is scolding more and more intensely, as if he wanted to pour out all the fire, suddenly his eyes flashed, and he saw Xin Congzong who was dodging, and he was even more angry, "Xin Congzong." , you waste, you look down on this and that along the way, but when you really want to show your skills, you can't even take down a thief, what does this captain want you to do, come on, pull out this useless waste for me and cut it down! ”

As soon as Tong Guan's words fell, two big men flashed outside the tent, and they didn't answer, they set up Xin Congzong and walked out of the tent, Xin Congzong seemed to know that he had offended a lot of people, and he smiled bitterly on his face, and let the two of them go out with themselves.

"Wait!" Yumei and Bi Sheng glanced at each other, hurriedly stopped the two, got up and hugged their fists towards Tong Guan and said: "Tai Lieutenant is angry, our army is newly defeated, if you kill the general again at this time, it will be unfavorable to the army, and the person who is fighting against General Xin has also been shortlisted for the martial arts retest in the past, and the martial arts are really good, according to the last general, it is better to leave General Xin's life, let him wear the crime and make meritorious service, and ask Lord Taiwei to be gracious!" With that, he knelt down on one knee towards Tong Guan.

With Yumei and Bi Shengchu taking the lead, the rest of the generals did not dare to slack off, and got up one after another, kneeling down on one knee, "Please also ask Lord Taiwei to be gracious!" ”

Tong Guan is also angry to issue such an order, as soon as the words come out, he regrets it, but with his identity, how can he speak instead, when he sees that the generals will intercede, he will also go down the slope of the donkey, snort coldly, and ask people to pull back Xin Congzong, shouting: "If it weren't for everyone's intercession, I would have beheaded you today, with serious military discipline, today's power and note, if you can't win in the future, then the two crimes will be punished together, and you will not be spared!" ”

Xin Congzong was submissive, and he thanked Tong Guan for not killing, and thanked all his colleagues for their intercession, and sat at the end without saying anything.

After sitting down, Tong Guan said: "In today's battle, more than 10,000 men and horses were broken, not to mention, but also Ma Wanli, Li Ming, and Wang Yi, the three generals of Ma Wanli, Li Ming, and Wang Yi have been lost. ”

All the generals were dumbfounded for a while, and they all turned their eyes to the left head of the plum, and the maiden stroked her short beard and said: "Our army still has more than 40,000 people and horses, and there is no power to fight, but it is just a worry, the thieves are scheming, and they are familiar with the terrain, so that our army is invincible. ”

When Tong Guan heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he praised repeatedly: "Okay, good, General Yu is worthy of being the pillar of the country, then the matter of this formation will have to be a lot of trouble for General Xu!" ”

Yumei was stunned when she heard this, then shook her head and said with a wry smile: "If it is an ordinary marching formation, the last general may still be able to do it, but if you want to fight with this Liangshan thief Kou formation, the ordinary formation may not have much effect, and this other formation, the last general is also powerless!" ”

When Tong Guan heard this, his heart was half cold, "Like this, what should I do?" ”

The generals look at me, and I look at you, and they all look at each other, not knowing what to do. However, there may not be no road in front of the mountain, and Xu Jing suddenly said: "I have a law, maybe I can use it at this moment!" ”

Tong Guan saw that it was Xu Jing, although he didn't like it in his heart, but his face was unusual, and he said continuously: "What is the clever plan of General Xu, you might as well say that you know with this marshal, the Liangshan thief who is to be broken, this Taiwei will definitely report to the saint according to the truth, in order to reward General Xu for his great achievements!" ”

Xu Jing waved his hand, didn't even dare to say it, and said with a smile: "When Xu walked the rivers and lakes in the past, he once traveled with a person, that person was well versed in strategy, good at military aircraft, especially the news battle array, and was extremely proficient. ”

After listening to this, Tong Guan raised his forehead with his hand and said: "I have to be reminded by General Xu, otherwise I will forget this person, when this official was in Beijing in the past, I also heard people mention the name of this person, and they all said that this person has the talent to stabilize the country, or not, this Taiwei immediately repaired the book and sent someone to recruit him here!" ”

"Captain must not do this!" Xu Jing hurriedly dissuaded.

Tong Guan looked at Xu Jing fixedly, his face full of inexplicability, "Why is this?" ”

Xu Jing Zhengse said: "But all those who have real talent and real learning, have their own persistence and arrogance, this Wen Huanzhang is the same, if Taiwei writes a letter and sends someone to recruit him here, I am afraid that he will have to eat a closed door, according to the last general's humble opinion, it is better to have a book repaired by Taiwei, handed it to the last general, and then the last general will personally come to the door to invite him, so this time to give him face, I believe that Wen Huanzhang will definitely not refuse!" ”

Tong Guan was a little displeased, and said with a gloomy face: "Isn't it that he still dares not to give me face as a captain!" ”

Xu Jing couldn't cry or laugh a little, he didn't know whether Tong Guan cared about face or begging for thieves, and said in a deep voice: "The last general has heard that the eldest son of the former Taishi, the British Gong, also sent someone to recruit Wen Huanzhang into the palace as a staff member, and then Wen Huanzhang quietly refused, if it is ......"

Tong Guan heard that he didn't even give Cai Jing's face, and his heart suddenly balanced a lot, and he nodded: "In this case, I will bother General Xu to work hard and go to Na Anren Village, but there is one thing, be sure to bring that Wen Huanzhang back, I don't know if General Xu dares to accept this captain!" ”

"If you dare to disobey your orders, the last general will definitely invite that Wen Huanzhang!" Xu Jing hugged his fists violently and accepted it.

"That's great!" Tong Guan nodded, his gaze slowly swept over the generals, "I'm tired of General Li Congji's hard trip, and I will go through this experience with General Xu!" ”

"Yes!" Li Congji's face was expressionless, and he got up and agreed.

Since the two of them had received the order, they did not dare to slack off, so they quickly packed up and stopped, and left the camp and went to Anren Village.

Until he couldn't see the camp, Li Congji stopped his horse and complained: "Lao Xu, what are you doing, why bother taking this errand, if you can't invite you, or if you are still not Liangshan's opponent, then Tong Guan is not going to put all the blame on you!" ”

Xu Jing smiled bitterly, and also restrained the war horse, "How can I not know, but you and I know better, if you can't think of a way for Tong Guan, you and I are afraid that we will not be able to please today, and now we can only take one step at a time!" With that, he let out a long sigh.

"Alas! The good generals all told them to force them away one by one, even if there were still left, how many people were willing to send troops? Li Congji also shook his head and sighed.

"Let's go! I hope that Wen Huanzhang can give you and me a thin noodle! Xu Jing whipped down, beat the horse and galloped away, Li Congji saw that Xu Jing was gone, so he could only gallop and follow.
