One Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty-Six: Cutting Huang Song, Dongqing 1 Tong (67)

Before the sneak attack, Huang Song was also mentally prepared for the possibility of failure.

When the reality was really in front of his eyes, he couldn't accept it——

He was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect to lose so completely!

Thousands of soldiers and horses were sent out, but only two hundred people returned smoothly, and the rest either died in battle or were captured by the enemy.

Can this battle still be fought?

Huang Song felt that he needed to be quiet.

The people were called to discuss the matter, and when they heard the result, they fell silent, and they all lowered their heads and dared not look up at Huang Song's face.

They had high expectations for this sneak attack. They never thought that the enemy would know it in advance, and they had already made preparations to deal with it.

This is really unexpected.

Huang Song is not a character who easily admits defeat, he said, "Do you have any other clever strategies?"

A group of people discussed until dawn, and they were extremely tired. After all, Huang Song sent someone to wake them up from their beds.

Cheng Jing seemed to look normal, but in fact he was a little sleepy. He returned to his tent after the meeting, and before he had time to wash up, there was a report from outside. His heart faltered, he mistakenly thought that the lord Huang Song had something to call him, he said, "Who is outside?"

As soon as the words fell, an unfamiliar male voice came from outside, and the other party's elegant words had an accent from the Hu County area.

Cheng Jing vaguely guessed the other party's identity, and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

The person who came was a man wearing a dark brown Confucian shirt. In order to facilitate activities, this man's wide cuffs were tied up with wrist guards.

It looked a little less elegant and elegant, and a little more neat and sassy.

This person exchanged pleasantries with Cheng Jing, Cheng Jing invited him to sit down, but the other party sat down cautiously and a little awkwardly.

As smart as Cheng Jing, he naturally guessed the reason for this person's visit. As expected, the other party bluntly changed the topic to last night's sneak attack and World War II.

There are not many people who know the situation of the battle at present, and this person in front of him also belongs to this rank, and he came here this time to hear the news.

Cheng Jing said the result with a flat face, and the visitor's eyes widened, as if he didn't believe the result.

"How, how could..."

The other party was in love with each other, a lot of sweat broke out on his forehead, and his eyes flickered.

Cheng Jing said, "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, and the enemy's chess is superior, is this not normal?"

The other party laughed twice, responding to Cheng Jing's words, but his heart was pounding with anxiety.

He couldn't help being nervous and afraid. If Huang Song lost, he would definitely be liquidated by Jiang Pengji. Judging from Jiang Pengji's deeds over the years, this woman is magnanimous, but she is extremely stingy in some aspects, and she can even be regarded as vengeful!

Cheng Jing's eyes were like an ancient well, calm and calm, he could see through the visitor's mind at a glance, and sneered coldly in his heart.

"Sir, are you worried that my lord will lose to Liu Xi?"

Cheng Jing asked a question out of the blue, his heart almost stopped beating in fright, like a frightened cat.

"Why, how could it be?" The other party raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and said awkwardly, "Although Liu Xi is well-known, the master is not weaker than others. It is still too early to judge How dare I boost other people's ambitions and destroy the prestige of the lord?"

Cheng Jing snorted coldly, noncommittal.

He is extremely disgusted with double-faced guys, and this person in front of him is one of them.

This person was born in Zhonghe County and has lived here for generations. He used many unscrupulous means to make huge profits. The good land in Zhonghe County was taken up by his family and several other families, and the local people were almost all cheap tenants controlled by them. , also engaged in illegal human trafficking in private. Before Liu She went to Hu County, these families were the local emperors of Zhonghe County, and the people lived in poverty and saw no hope.

After Liu She took over Hu County, these local snakes were slowly subdued and suppressed by him, but they became honest for a while.

Before Jiang Pengji pretended to be sick, they heard the wind and concluded that Jiang Pengji's life was not long, and their hearts became alive again.

It just so happened that Huang Song sent someone to lobby for rebellion, and this group took advantage of the situation and directly betrayed Jiang Pengji, so that Zhonghe County fell and was broken.

They waited and waited, three sticks of incense a day, hoping that Jiang Pengji would kneel quickly,

Unexpectedly, she recovered from her illness!

Not only did she recover from her illness, but the battlefield situation gradually favored her. Huang Song was forced to leave Chenzhou and retreat from Zhonghe County!

If they had known that Jiang Pengji's fate was so tough, they would not have decisively favored Huang Song, so they would have waited and watched for a while.

It's too late to say anything now, they only hope that Huang Song can turn defeat into victory and turn the tables in one fell swoop.

However, this seems to be a luxury.

Cheng Jing said, "If there is nothing else, sir, please do it yourself."

This is obviously to drive people away.

The man looked awkward, knowing that he was not welcomed by Cheng Jing, he had no choice but to bow and say goodbye.

Cheng Jing really didn't like him, not only because of the double-decker, but also because he didn't have the slightest bit of cunning in his heart.

Can't you see what kind of virtue you have?

For Huang Song, they are just tools that can be thrown away after use, but they still think highly of themselves and think too much of themselves.

Cheng Jing frowned, summoned someone, and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on them, and report immediately if there is any movement."

For such people, Cheng Jing does not expect them to have such a thing as "loyalty".

Now at this juncture, I still don't forget to listen to the tone. It can be seen who the other party is. They will take refuge in Huang Song because of "Liu Xi's decline". Who knows if they will betray Huang Song for the same reason? In the face of interests, all morals can be put aside.

"Here!"

Cheng Jing guessed right, this person really has the idea of ​​changing jobs.

Huang Song's boat was about to leak and sink, so of course they had to find a way to save themselves.

How to save yourself?

They still have to figure it out.

"This, this is not good, is it? After all, we betrayed Liu Xi, and now we are going to betray Huang Song, will Liu Xi accept it?"

"What's wrong? Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. As long as we can make great contributions to Liu Xi, even if Liu Xi doesn't rely on us, she will be ashamed to settle the old accounts." The man rolled his eyes and said angrily. , "Huang Song has lost thousands of soldiers and horses this time, and there is only one Haozhou left under his rule. What do you think he has a chance of winning against Liu Xi? The defeat is already evident, and I am afraid it will be irreparable."

In troubled times, integrity is cheaper than dung in a cesspit.

After all, dung water can nourish the soil, so what's the use of holding it?

There are many loyal and staunch people in the world, but this kind of people are high-spirited and few, with little support and more opportunistic people.

As long as the benefits they offer are sufficient, there is no fear that "Liu Xi" will not be tempted.

The companion still hesitated, and sighed, "Oh—how can this be good? If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have messed up my thoughts in the first place."

They still had to go to Jiang Pengji's tent to hang around, they were wasting so much effort.

"What's the use of saying this now? It's the right way to find a way out as soon as possible. Once Huang Song is defeated, I won't be able to please him."

In order to save Xiang Shang's head and the lives of the whole family, some things had to be done.
