Vol 4 Chapter 2298: Black hand companions meet again

Bian Fanzhi gritted his teeth: "Huan Qian and others are cowardly and incompetent, and He Danzhi and others are often defeated generals. They have no courage to fight the Beifu army. Once Liu Yi's army comes to Jiangling, they will inevitably run away. Go up and take the Sima Dezong brothers. At that time, you will take the Sima Dezong brothers and go with them to Huanzhen. Jiangling is lost. Most of the soldiers and their families are in the city, and most of Huanzhen’s subordinates will collapse. This time is true. It’s not like last time. So, when you persuade Huanzhen to go to Hou Qin, he shouldn’t refuse."
Tao Yuanming nodded: "Then do what you said. We are going back to Jiangling now. However, I can't show up in public, you know."
Bian Fanzhi didn't reply, turned around and walked out of the tent, while Tao Yuanming looked at his leaving back, with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.
Baling, the Chinese army camp of the Northern Army.
Liu Yi's face was green, his eyes swept across the faces of the generals on both sides of the tent, and finally fell on He Wuji's face, no longer moving, he hummed heavily, "Wuji, matter. So far, what do you want to say?"
Tears glistened in He Wuji's eyes, and he bit his lips tightly: "It is all to blame. I am greedy for advancing, not listening to the good words of the Taoist rules, and even if I have this defeat, this battle, all the consequences will be borne by me. I have no objection to depriving me of all military posts and titles, to be reduced to white, and to commit crimes to the army, as long as I am given a chance and let me avenge myself!"
Liu Daogui quickly said: "Brother Xi Le, as my deputy, I also have an unshirkable responsibility this time. I am willing to accept the crime with Brother Wuji."
More than ten generals who participated in this battle, Zuo, went out to salute at the same time, and said in unison: "I am willing to accept the crime with Brother Wuji and Brother Dao Gui."
Liu Yi twitched his mouth in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing, can you recover the losses in this battle if you join the army in vain? Now this military discussion is not for the purpose of investigating responsibility, me and Wuji , And Dao Gui has been jointly listed on the table, he has been demoted to the ranks, and stayed in the army to serve. But you all listen carefully. If there is another such a big defeat, I am afraid everyone from me to you will be dismissed Recall, even the chance of a comeback is gone."
There was a hint of joy in everyone's eyes, and He Wuji sternly said: "Huanzhen's subordinates are indeed our unprecedented rivals since the founding of righteousness. This time we are facing each other face to face, and there is not much difference in military strength. There is nothing to say about losing. I am afraid that Lu Zongzhi’s soldiers and horses are not opponents. I suggest staying in Baling for the time being and ordering Lu Zongzhi to set up camp in Dangyang. Don’t fight with Huanzhen. If Huanzhen divides his forces, our chance will come. If he attacks by force Lu Zongzhi, we will make progress in Jiangling."
Liu Daogui shook his head: "Jiangling City has always been strong. Even if it is divided and only a few thousand soldiers are left for defense, it will be difficult for us to conquer it for a while. Besides, we don’t know anything about the intelligence of Jingzhou. A period of progress is too fast, and there is no time to spread the eyeliner here. We suffered a big defeat in Qingpingyuan this time, and we also suffered from insufficient intelligence. Envy, do the spies you sent have news to return?"
Sitting in the corner of the tent, Xu Xianzhi, who was struggling with writing, raised his head and said calmly: "Jingzhou has always been a self-contained system, very exclusive. Both customs and dialects are very different from other places. Only people born here , It may not be suspected, but before my spies were mostly from Wu area, now I have to choose new spies from Jingchu's descendants. This will take some time."
Liu Yi shook his head and sighed: "I knew that we should advance to Jiangling quickly and take the city. As long as the army enters the city, Huanzhen won't be able to take it back so easily. At least, we can welcome your Majesty and King Langxian back. So passive, but it’s too late to say anything. The enemy situation in Jiangling is unknown. We must not act rashly. If we lay ambush and lose the main force, then this western expedition may not be able to continue. Envy, you have to speed up and find out. Jiangling's..."
Xu Xianzhi suddenly smiled: "Xile, although my spies can't be effective for a while, but we are here, not without old friends, there is an old man, who is quietly coming to see you right now."
Liu Yi's eyes lit up: "You mean him?"
Xu Xianzhi nodded sternly and said, "He is in a safe place. As you know, it is not convenient for him to show up directly now."
Liu Yi stood up and walked out: "Today's military meeting is here for the time being. I envy it and lead the way."
Half an hour later, Liu Yi, dressed as a man and a soldier, led by Xu Xianzhi, who was also dressed as an auxiliary soldier, walked into an inconspicuous small tent in the camp, a gray-haired, looking The fifty-something veteran army, crouching on his back and holding a broom, was sweeping the ground. Liu Yi's voice sounded behind him: "Yuanming, long time no see."
Tao Yuanming stopped the movement in his hand, and slowly turned around. A human skin mask fell against his hand, revealing his delicate face. He smiled slightly: "Xile, I will let you hold the beauty. Come, how are you grateful to me for such a great favor?"
Liu Yi walked in front of Tao Yuanming and sat down on the bunk where soldiers slept ~EbookFREE.me~ He looked at the sweat-stained mat, crawling on the insects and ants, and sighed softly: " This ghost place is really hot and uncomfortable. If we stay here, many of our soldiers will get sick. Yuanming, you introduced Liu Tingyun to me for self-protection. After all, your activities at Huanxuan, I am It’s clear, now that I’m in power, I might expose you to the slave one day. This is a hush fee.

Tao Yuanming smiled and shook his head: "The two of you are the secrets of the two current Mafia guards. Am I also tight-lipped? It's just that I'm a bit disappointed. You didn't lead me to love and let me join as a new guard. Could it be that Is Meng Chang stronger than me?"
Liu Yi sneered and said: "You yourself have never been interested in the Mafia guarding. You gave me the position of the white tiger, Yuanming, your former guard, who chose to withdraw when the organization was most in distress. Isn't it a bit too greedy when things get better now and want to come back?"
Tao Yuanming sighed: "Fine, no need to mention the past. After all, we were once fellows. Even now, the existence of the Mafia is also a secret. Even if I am no longer one of the guards, I can become you. Your friend, like your new lady, is also of great use to you?"
Liu Yi hooked up the corner of his mouth: "This time, what can you help me and what you want to get, just tell me."
