Chapter 0215 Old Intercourse

Zhuo Fan and his party walked in the middle of the night and went straight east for 30 miles before stopping. At this time, the sound of artillery in the west could no longer be heard.

According to Zhuo Fan's prior explanation, everyone deliberately messed up the camp, and the guard patrol looked lazy. In fact, it was tight inside and loose outside, and those masters of the hidden camp were sitting in the town, and ordinary people could not see it. At this time, Zhuo Fan has been asleep for a long time. Naturally, Zhuo Fan and Zhou Tong could not camp in the open air. Everyone still set up a tent and placed the two seriously injured in it.

When the sky was dawn, a burst of noise suddenly came from the west, getting closer and closer, disturbing Zhuo Fan to wake up from his sleep.

"Damn, it's not a slow run." Zhuo Fan listened for a while and said to himself.

After a while, Xue'er came in and said, "It's Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo's troops. It's really miserable."

Zhuo Bufan smiled and said, "How can Zhang Xianzhong stay in Chaohu safely? Come on, help me clean up so that they can feel better."

Xue'er smiled and pulled away the quilt, revealing the bandages tied to her chest. The blood oozing was still shocking. Fortunately, the brazier burned for a long time, and the tent was warmer.

Xueer took some more water and fed it to Zhuo Fanfan. As soon as she fed half a small bowl, Zhang Sien came in with her own guard to report. Huang Degong arrived nearby and asked Zhuo Fan to go and see him.

"Damn, what is he?" Zhang Sien was very dissatisfied. He had just suffered a big defeat, but he was still full of official airs.

"He is the commander-in-chief, and naturally did not take the initiative to come to see me." Zhuo Fan didn't care and said, "But I can't see him, that is to say that I was seriously injured in attacking Chao County a few days ago and couldn't move. We sincerely invite the commander-in-chief to come and talk about it.

Not long, Huang Degong responded, but only sent a general to greet him hypocritically. Although Zhuo Yin, Zhuo's extraordinary father, had resigned and Huang Degong was from Zhou Zijin, it was not good to do anything too rude to Zhuo Yin's son Zhuo Fan. It's okay to make some yin moves when fighting a war, but this kind of behavior in the scene is still acceptable. This is an ordinary worldly wisdom, and it is also for others to show.

Zhuo Fan also expected this. The person who sent away Huang Degong came to inform him again, but Liu Liangzuo came in person and had already been out of the account.

Zhuo Fufan didn't know Liu Liangzuo, but he knew this person. Zhuo Er had mentioned it to Zhuo Fufan before. This person was on Zhuo Yin's side. At that time, Zhuo Yin didn't have many people in the army, so he still had a good impression of Liu Liangzuo.

When I saw Liu Liangzuo himself, I could feel the cruelty of last night's battle. At this time, Liu Liangzuo's face was quite embarrassed with dust and sweat. As the commander-in-chief of 40,000 to 50,000 people, he could imagine what the soldiers would look like.

Liu Liangzuo, as a general officer, was similar to Huang Degong in the military rank, but he did not have the air of Huang Degong at all. He was very polite when he saw Zhuo Fan, and his concern for Zhuo Fanfan's injury could be seen from sincerity.

After a greeting, Liu Liangzuo sat in front of Zhuo's bed. Zhuo's asked, "Uncle Liu, is there any big loss?"

Uncle Liu made Liu Liangzuo feel like his own people. Hearing the words, he sighed, "This time, I lost my old capital. Half of the ten infantry battalions in my headquarters were scattered, and more than half of the guards were reduced. Well, the specific situation hasn't come out yet. About 30% of the total staff has been reduced.

Zhuo Fan couldn't help but be moved. One-third of the staff reduction was quite close to the defeat, that is, Liu Liangsa's department alone lost more than 10,000 lives in the small Chao County battlefield. For a moment, he was a little stunned, and the unbearable and blankness of last night appeared on his face.

When Liu Liangzuo saw Zhuo's extraordinary look, he comforted him: "You don't have to worry about it. Qingshan is not afraid of firewood. It's just that Huang Degong is really not a thing. If I'm not lucky, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble this time.

With that, Liu Liangzuo looked at Zhuo and seemed to think of something and said doubtfully, "Last night, Huang Degong ran away by himself and trapped our army in an extremely passive situation. I thought there was no hope. Unexpectedly, there was a mysterious great help. The number of people was small, but the firearms were extremely sharp, and they were all cavalry. If it hadn't been for their help, I'm afraid our army would have been completely destroyed. I don't know what kind of person this is?" Although he hurriedly broke out of the siege last night, he still felt strange after thinking about it. After the breakout, he also observed the failed enemy soldiers, all of whom died of firearms. Thinking of the flash and horseshoe sound in the distance, I naturally understood the reason for the smooth breakthrough.

At this time, Liu Liangzuo also took out a few paper shells from his arms, which were the special fixed ammunition of the Dragon Army.

Zhuo Fan smiled and said, "My nephew is not clear about this. You see, I am also very ashamed of being defeated and injured."

Liu Liangzuo was puzzled for a moment. The question in my heart really tortures people. I don't know who secretly saved me, but it's a little difficult to sleep and eat.

"Uncle Liu, what are you going to do in the future? I'm afraid you won't be better after this defeat." Zhuo Fan opened the topic and asked.

When Liu Liangzuo heard the words, he sighed again and said angrily, "What else can we do? Let's go back to Yingtian Mansion first. It's clear that I'm guilty. I understand that Huang Degong may not know how to arrange me. But he can't absolve himself for the defeat in the first battle, and he won't be desperate.

The two chatted again, and Liu Liangzuo left. Zhuofan temporarily camped on the roadside leading to Yingtianfu. On the way, a large number of Dahua soldiers were walking dejectedly.

Out of the extraordinary tent, Liu Liangzuo got on the horse with a blank face. The battle was lost, and there were still many headaches waiting for him. It was heartbreaking to remember that the team he had struggled to pull up suffered heavy losses in this battle. Just as he was about to leave, Liu Liangzuo happened to see a soldier under Zhuo extraordinary who was wiping the fire and taking out a piece of fire and put it in. The special red paint color moved his heart.

Liu Liangzuo immediately jumped off the horse, walked to the soldier excitedly and said in a trembling voice, "Can you show me what you just put in?"

The soldier was stunned and looked at the clothes of General Dahua, but shook his head and said, "So sorry, General. I can't show you." At this time, the Dragon Army has begun to pay attention to confidentiality, and naturally refuses such a strange request from Liu Liangzuo.

According to the rules, outstanding subordinates should respect Liu Liangzuo's request, which does not seem to be excessive. But Liu Liangzuo did not get angry. Instead, he rushed to his waist and took out the fire shell and said excitedly, "I just want to know if the thing you just put in is the one in my hand."

The soldier said strangely, "Huh? How can you have our fire shell? Yes, this is exactly what our Dragon Army belongs to.

Liu Liangzuo turned around and strode back to the extraordinary tent. He entered the door, knelt directly on one knee and shouted, "Liu Liangzuo represents 30,000 soldiers, thank you for your life-saving kindness!"
