The candle the thickness of the baby's arm was burning, and the bright flame swayed back and forth with the slight cold wind. The county government has been occupied by the Huolin army, and after a simple cleanup, the corpses and blood in the county government have been removed, leaving only a faint smell of blood in the air.

Zhao Mang sat on the main seat, silent, waiting for everyone's arrival.

Yingzhou Military Captain Li Xu, Lieutenants Zhang Wei, Xu Qian, Li Gan, and Zhou Wenzhong are on the right side, and Red Wolf Battalion Captains Yan Xu and He Lianyu are on the left. What has not yet arrived is Huo Shan, the general of the former Le'an County Servant Army, and the two captains under his command. Of course, this general and lieutenant were also appointed by the Yan Army, and on the side of the Yan Army, they naturally would not approve of it.

When the four lieutenants of the Yingzhou Army heard that they and the others were waiting for the servants of the army, their faces immediately became a little ugly. They and the servant army were both the Yingzhou government army, however, when they fought to the death with the Ya army, the servant army defected and surrendered to serve the Ya army. Waiting for them, Zhang Wei and the others were naturally very unhappy. But they also knew that they could take Le'an County so successfully tonight, and the casualties were so small, and the servant army was indispensable. But in their hearts, it is really difficult to accept this group of guys who have no integrity.

Zhao Mang seemed to be sitting in the main seat, not disturbed by foreign objects. But his eyes roamed back and forth among the four lieutenants of the Yingzhou Army, and seeing the indignation on the faces of the four people, Zhao Mang's heart relaxed a lot about the matter at hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, General Huo Shan and the two lieutenants have arrived."

"Let them in!" Zhao Mang said lightly.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and a middle-aged man of thirty-four or five years old walked in slowly with two young men in their thirties. Led by the middle-aged, his face is bland, no joy or sorrow, and he does not miss the slightest difference. The bronzed skin contrasts his status as a soldier. But the two young men behind him had sad faces and a little resentment.

"Sinner Huo Shan, meet your lord!" Huo Shan bowed to Zhao Mang on the main seat.

Zhao Mang smiled faintly and said, "No need to be polite, do it!" ”

The three of them relied on Helian Yu and went on, waiting for Zhao Mang's words.

Zhao Mang turned his head to the clerk not far away and said, "Tell me about the results of your statistics." ”

The clerk saluted slightly, opened the merit book, and said loudly: "In this battle, the Nufeng battalion killed more than 400 people of the Yan army, and none of them were captured; The Red Wolf Battalion killed more than 500 people, and none of them were captured; The Yingzhou army killed 300 people and captured more than 300 people; The servant army opened the gates of the city for our army, and killed more than 600 guards and captured 100 people. ”

"The Le'an County Treasury has been taken over by us, and 8,000 quintals of grain and grass have been seized, which is used by 10,000 people for two months. In addition to the previous seizures, we intercepted a total of 9,000 horses of the Yan Army, of which 4,000 were captured by the Yingzhou Army and 4,000 by the Red Wolf Battalion before this battle. A thousand horses were captured from the city. However, two thousand horses were lost in the war, and now seven thousand horses are intact; 1,000 bows and 50,000 arrows; 5,000 military tents were seized, and all kinds of flags, scimitars, and miscellaneous items were not counted. ”

"In this battle, the Nufeng battalion lost eighty-seven people, the Red Wolf battalion lost one hundred and fifty people, the Yingzhou army lost two hundred and twelve people, and the servant army lost two hundred and seventy-eight people."

"This battle ......"

"Okay, don't read it!" Zhao Mang raised his hand and said.

The clerk nodded in response, put down the merit book, and waited for Zhao Mang's orders.

Zhao Mang said with a smile: "This battle can be so successful, the servant army should be the first merit!" ”

"In that case, why do you still keep our army in the barracks? Why? Zhao Mang said that, and asked loudly.

When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be one of the two captains of the servant army.

The smile on Zhao Mang's face disappeared, and he asked lightly: "Didn't you ask the names of the two captains?" ”

Seeing Zhao Mang talking like this, Yan Xu and He Lianyu shook their heads secretly, they didn't know much about Zhao Mang, but they knew that Zhao Mang was inherited from Zhao Xun's own family, and he was old and spicy, the calmer he was, the more dangerous it might be.

When Huo Shan saw Zhao Mang's face, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He knew what the servants were guarding for. One is to prevent unforeseen changes in the servant army. Second, it is also the preparation of the Huolin Army to annex the servant army. If he was Zhao Mang's position, he would do the same.

A sucker! Didn't I say that? Let you not speak lightly, just don't listen! Alas......

"The last general Zhang Ye (Wei He)!" Both of them answered at the same time.

"The last general? Do you dare to be a general? Even the captain of this school does not dare to call himself a general! Who gave you the post of general? Which country are you generals? Zhao Mang shouted.

The faces of the two were extremely ugly. The last general was just the title of being divided by the army after they defected to the army, and for a while, they forgot to change it, but they were caught by the captain in front of them and reprimanded.

"What? Do you think that the official system given to you by the Yan Yan Army is bigger, and it is better than that of the imperial court? Do you think that tonight's meritorious service is not small, so you are self-righteous? Look at who you are, Servants! You are a servant army! Don't you know? The entire Yingzhou Mansion, the entire Youzhou, regard you as people who betrayed the court and betrayed their ancestors. ”

"We ......"

"When you walk down the street, don't you feel someone behind you pointing at your back and scolding you? Are you not ashamed? ”

"I ......" Zhang Ye opened his mouth, his face was flushed, and he was speechless.

Zhao Mang then said disdainfully: "Look at these people opposite you, they are the same as you, they are also from the Yingzhou Prefecture Army. They are fighting alone with the Warriors, unyielding to the death, and what about you? While they are fighting, you are serving the Yan army, aiding and abetting abuse, and fighting for the tiger! Shameful! ”

"You think you've done a great job in this battle? Really commendable? Why don't I report your merits to the imperial court, do you see whether they approve or not? ”

"No matter how much merit you make, you are no longer a hero, you are just washing away your previous crimes, washing away your own shame, there is nothing to praise, and there is nothing to be proud of."

Zhang Ye and Wei He were so ashamed that they didn't answer, so they had to look down at the table.

Zhao Mang said coldly: "You should be glad, glad that it was the Huolin Army that entered the city, not the Long Xiang Army or the Fu Army, otherwise, you and your family will be sentenced to death and killed all over the house!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Huo Shan and the two lieutenants turned pale. What Zhao Mang said is indeed true, if the Longxiang army or the government army enters Le'an County, all the soldiers and their families of the current servant army will not survive.

Huo Shan hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Since this is the case, I hope that Lord Captain will help." ”

"Please help!" Zhang Ye and Wei He also hurriedly said.

Zhao Mang said: "Since you helped us take Le'an County, we will not let it go." If you want to get rid of the infamy and get rid of the reputation of being hated, the name of the servant army cannot be used, and besides, you must also be incorporated into our army. Only then will the Fire Orders be able to make you disappear into the ranks of betrayal. ”

Huo Shan sighed secretly: "Sure enough, the Huolin Army has long planned to absorb us, it seems that if we don't agree, we will be wiped out, not to mention a thousand people against thousands of people, it is a victory, and the people will not recognize it." That's it! In that case, let's go to the side of the Fire Lin Army. It doesn't matter who will manage the Yingzhou Mansion in the future, but now, it seems that the Yingzhou Mansion is going to be taken into the palm of the Huolin Army. ”

Huo Shan said with a smile: "In this case, my servant army is willing to listen to the opinions and arrangements of the captain, and listen to instructions at any time." ”

Zhao Mang said with a smile: "That's good, Captain Li, the Yingzhou army under your command is all from the Yingzhou army, and these 1,200 people will be included in the Yingzhou army, and it is convenient to communicate with each other." By the way, veterans are not allowed to bully new recruits, they are all heroes of this battle! ”

Li Xu replied with a smile: "I understand the mark, I will definitely train them into a new battalion state army." ”

"As for Captain Zhang and Captain Wei, they will be temporarily included in the establishment of the Yingzhou Army with the servant army and will be the assistant captain. I wonder what the two of you think? ”

Zhang Ye and Wei He only nodded in response, but seeing the appearance of several lieutenants of the Yingzhou Army looking at their disdainful faces, the two of them felt uncomfortable and resentful in their hearts, and surrendered to the Yan Army, it was for the people of Le'an County, and they were not greedy for life and afraid of death, but can they explain? Do others believe it?

"General Huo, you are the person who is most familiar with Le'an County, so I need you to come with me to discuss the situation in Yanshan Fort.

Huo Shan said flatly: "General Huo doesn't dare to be, this is all the name given by the Yan Army, now that the Yan Army has been defeated, this general will no longer exist." ”

Zhao Mang smiled: "It's okay, in that case, I'll call you Captain, Captain Huo, I'm not suppressing you." Because we are about to start an operation against the Yan Ya army in the Yanshan Fort camp. After all, the 8,000 troops of the Yanshan Fort battalion are still very stressful for us. My family has arrived at Yanshan Fort first, and nearly 10,000 troops have gathered around Yanshan Fort to attack the Yan Ya army outside Yanshan Fort at any time. ”

Huo Shan was shocked: "You want to attack from both sides? ”

Zhao Mang said: "Yes, all our actions in Le'an County are for the sake of the 8,000 Yan Yan army outside Yanshan Fort. As long as the 8,000 Jin army is defeated, the recovery of the Yingzhou capital will be effortless. ”

Huo Shan said thoughtfully: "There are less than 40,000 troops in Yingzhou Prefecture, 6,000 in Le'an County, and 8,000 in Yanshan Fort, so the 15,000 Jin Army will no longer exist." The remaining more than 20,000 Jin troops have to guard four county towns and one prefecture city, each city is only about 4,000 people, or even less, for the more than 10,000 people of the Huolin Army, it is not a problem to take them. What's more, the passage for the Fire Lin Army to go south was opened, and they were defenseless......"

Huo Shan, who was more and more excited, became more and more excited, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he suddenly said excitedly: "Lord Captain, Huo is willing to fully cooperate with the adults, but when the adults attack north, they also want Huo to participate in person." I will personally fight against the Tartar army, and wash away my shame with their blood. ”

Zhao Mang smiled: "Okay, we also want to use the blood of the Yan Army to pay tribute to the innocent people who were killed by them!" ”
