MTL - Farmer of Shu Han-Chapter 1250 fainted again

  Chapter 1250 Fainted out again

  Feng Duhu led the Invincible Army to Gaoping Pass on the third day after Zhang Bao defeated the Sima Division.

   "Meet the Protector of the Central Government!"

   "There is no need to be too polite, please get up."

  Feng Duhu didn't dare to accept brother-in-law Zhang's gift in a big way, so he quickly helped Zhang Bao himself.

   "General Zhang, you fought very well this time. It paralyzed the enemy's will and caught them off guard. Two thousand cavalry defeated tens of thousands of rebels. It's amazing!"

   As he spoke, he raised his thumb.

   Zhang Bao's mouth was almost grinning behind his ears.

  But when he thought about the guy in front of him, he was his immediate boss and at the same time his brother-in-law.

   Hastily restrained his smile again, and made a serious look:

   "The last general dares to take the credit alone? To paralyze the enemy's will and attack him unprepared is a strategy discussed by Jiang Taishou and the last general, and the soldiers will use their lives to achieve this great victory."

   "Cough, and the Central Commander-in-Chief's dispatching skills, planning and making decisions hundreds of miles away, the general admires it even more."

  Even if he was his brother-in-law, even when he was not a brother-in-law in the early years, he was a little uncomfortable with him, but Zhang Bao was really convinced at this time.

  Feng Duhu heard it, and smiled heartily again:

   "Under the great victory of General Zhang, he is still not arrogant or impetuous, rare, rare!"

Ah!

  General Zhang's mouth twitched.

  In the past, if this Feng Langjun in front of me dared to talk to himself so casually, wouldn't I compete with him in martial arts?

   Just think of the year, and look at the present.

   Brother-in-law Zhang was inexplicably relieved again.

  Alas, my brother-in-law is no longer the Feng Langjun he was back then, but has grown into the commander-in-chief of the military inside and outside the Han Dynasty.

   "For this great victory, those who have made meritorious service will all be recorded, and will be rewarded uniformly after the war."

   "Thank you, the Protectorate!"

  Different from Zhang Bao's complicated mood, all the generals who came to greet him were overjoyed and thanked them all.

   "Thank me for what? You have made contributions to the great man, and I should thank you for the court."

  After rewarding the soldiers, Feng Duhu didn't plan to stay at Gaoping Pass for a long time.

   Instead of taking a short rest, he will continue to lead the Wuqian army southward to Gaodu City.

   It was Zhang Bao, who couldn't help feeling a little worried when he saw how exhausted the soldiers of the Invincible Army looked.

  But in front of everyone, it's hard for him to say anything.

  Looking for an opportunity later, I found Feng Duhu in private, and persuaded me:

   "Zhongduhu, the soldiers of Wuqian Army, came all the way from Zhiguan Road. They traveled nearly 400 miles in five days. It can be said that they traveled twice as fast."

   "Wei bandits were defeated, and I saw him retreating from Gaodu City. Although he was a little flustered, it was still within the controllable range."

   "Central Capital escorts the exhausted troops to Gaodu, we still have to be careful. From the point of view, why don't the soldiers rest for an extra day?"

  Feng Duhu heard the words, and then saw a trace of worry on Zhang Bao's face, he couldn't help laughing:

   "Brother, there are no outsiders here, so don't be so unfamiliar."

   said such a sentence, and then explained:

   "I know that the soldiers are exhausted, but as the saying goes, you can raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while."

   "The Eighth Army in Guanzhong will have a field training every three months throughout the year, just to deal with today's situation."

  For thousands of years, with the improvement of roads, the summarization of experience, and the progress of society, infantry marched on two legs, although the daily speed has increased.

   But in general, the improvement is relatively slow after all.

   After all, there is the upper limit of human physical strength.

  After the reform of the Jihan Army, the quality of the soldiers in the army has improved, coupled with regular targeted training.

  The infantry marched normally in a day, more than fifty miles if they were slower, and sixty miles (Hanli) if they were faster.

   And if it is replaced by other ordinary troops, the minimum is forty miles, and the maximum will not exceed fifty miles.

  Because it exceeds, there will be a series of problems such as a large number of soldiers falling behind, unable to maintain formation, scouts unable to ascertain the situation ahead in time, and so on.

   If you are ambushed by a sneak attack, most of the army will be wiped out.

  Feng Duhu led the Invincible Army to march for more than three hundred and nearly four hundred miles in five days. It was a hurried march, and many soldiers had already fallen behind.

  That's why Zhang Bao was a little worried and reminded Feng Duhu to pay attention to this issue.

   "In the Eighth Army, the New Army, the Tuchen Army and the Wuwei Army have all made meritorious service, but the Wuqian Army has not made any achievements, and the soldiers are inevitably a little anxious."

   "If I keep suppressing them, I'm afraid even I will be blamed by the soldiers in their hearts."

  This is just a superficial reason.

  Another reason is that in this battle, there was originally a plan to give the new army a chance to actually fight.

   "Brother Sima's division was broken by brother. The bandit army is at a time when they are frightened. When they hear that I am personally leading the army, they will not dare to act rashly."

   The soldiers who can keep up this way are basically the elite of the Invincible Army.

   In addition, it is marching in the territory of the Han Dynasty, especially when it reaches Gaoping Pass, it can get enough supplements.

   Sima Division suffered two defeats in a row, and the morale of the army was unstable. If he can hold the Tianjing Pass, he is very powerful.

  Although Du Yu initially proposed to defeat Sima Shi and take advantage of the situation to seize Tianjing Pass, Feng Duhu did not adopt it.

  But by mistake, Sima Shi took the initiative to give him this opportunity, and Feng Duhu naturally would not miss it.

  That's why he decided to lead the army and continue to Gaodu City.

  When Zhang Bao heard Feng Duhu call him "Brother", he felt a little moved and guilty again.

   What moved me was that even though my brother-in-law was in a high position, he still seemed to have the same original intention.

   What makes me feel guilty is that what my sister in the palace has done in the past two years is indeed a bit too mean and unkind.

   It's just that as a brother, he can't dissuade his sister.

  Although what my queen sister did seemed a little uncharacteristically dazed.

  But as long as you stand in the position of the royal family, especially after bringing the prince, you can understand her psychology:

  When the prime minister is here, the emperor has a name but no power, so that's all.

  The Prime Minister is gone, the Son of Heaven is still famous but not powerful, then the Prime Minister is not...

  cough cough...

  The most important thing is, as it has always been, does it mean that the prince will also be like this?

  Tianjia, where is the place to talk about family affection?

  But it is impossible for Zhang Bao to persuade his brother-in-law.

  Because my brother-in-law directly represents Xinghanhui, and behind it represents countless upstarts.

  If I really dare to persuade my brother-in-law to take a step back, Xinghan Club might explode:

  How much benefit did your Zhang family share in Nanxiang?

   Among other things, all the big men are using your Zhang family’s hemp rope sacks, don’t you know?

   Want to smash the pot when you are full?

  Believe it or not, you smashed it first, put it in a sack, tied it with a hemp rope, and sank it into the river?

  In the eyes of the upstarts, it might mean that the royal family is going to cut their flesh and drink their blood—you dare to cut even King Feng Gui, so why not?

  It is harder to touch the interests than to touch the soul!

   Zhang Bao has never heard of this sentence, but this does not prevent him from understanding this truth.

  So he was caught between the two, which was really awkward and uncomfortable.

  At this time, seeing that my brother-in-law treats me the same as before, I naturally have mixed feelings in my heart.

   "How about I lead the southern army to go with Mingwen? Firstly, it can protect Mingwen comprehensively, and secondly, it can also deter thieves."

  Unexpectedly, Feng Duhu shook his head:

   "Brother, there is no need to be so troublesome. The southern army is a cavalry army. How can they attack the city? If you really want to worry about it, just give me a thousand cavalry, just in case."

   After all, in this area, the cavalry does not have enough room to play.

   "I mean, brother, we should lead the main force of the southern army back to Hedong as soon as possible, and continue to guard against the bandit army at Zhiguan."

   This time the battle between the Han and Wei Dynasties, the situation is almost clear.

   But the more it is at the last moment, the more careful it is.

   Feng Duhu didn't have a strategic reserve team in his hands, so he didn't know what to do.

   "Go back to the east of the river?"

   "Yes." Feng Duhu nodded, "This time, although I cheated Jiang Ji, the other party is also a veteran Wei thief, and I'm afraid he will react soon."

   "Hedong is empty now, if Jiang Ji finds an opportunity, it will be troublesome."

   Zhang Bao heard the words and thought about it too.

   After all, the east of the river is mostly flat land, which is where the cavalry can play.

  It is indeed more appropriate for the Southern Army to return to Hedong.

   Immediately nodded in response.

   "Then I will trouble you, brother, and let you run back and forth."

  Zhang Bao didn't care, the smile on his face showed his ease of mind:

   "You and I are all for the big man, why bother? Besides," Zhang Bao couldn't help but patted Feng Duhu's shoulder, and his expression became serious:

   "Mingwen, I'm very happy to be able to help you! I don't know much about court affairs, and I don't want to get involved."

   "However, for matters in the military, you are not only the person appointed by the prime minister, but also the guardian of the central government. I will definitely support you."

   Having said this, Zhang Bao paused and did not continue.

  But Feng Duhu understood what he meant.

   "Brother, thank you!"

  Zhang Bao shook his head and said in a low voice:

   "I said it, no need to thank you, because after this battle, it can only prove one thing: the prime minister did not misunderstand the wrong person in his age."

   "You, work hard, don't let down the prime minister's expectations."

   There are some words, so don’t point them out.

  Feng Duhu nodded heavily: "I will."

   Zhang Bao smiled again, waved his hand, turned and walked out without further words.

  The guard of the Han Zhongzhong said that he wanted a thousand cavalry to follow him, so he naturally wanted to select the most elite soldiers in the southern army.

   Soon, the news that Feng Duhu led the army from Gaoping Pass to the south and arrived at Gaodu City soon spread to Tianjing Pass, and the Wei army was really shocked.

  In fact, Feng Duhu did not overestimate Wei Jun.

  Sima Division was defeated in front of Gaoping Pass for the second time, and he had lost the good luck of the previous round.

  Not only did I lose my left eye, but Wei Jun also suffered heavy losses.

   Coupled with the fact that there was no danger to defend Gaodu City, Niu Jin immediately retreated to Tianjing Pass after meeting the defeated army who had been chased all the way back.

  At this time, the defenders of the Tianjing Gate were in a state of panic, and it was expected that the house would leak and it would rain overnight.

   Soon, another bad news came from the north of the pass. Bandit Feng had already led the army to Gaodu City and approached Tianjing Pass.

   "The Central Supervisory Army, it's not good, Feng thief, Feng thief led the army over!"

  In the courtyard, the door of the house where the coach lived was suddenly pushed open, and Niu Jin hurried in:

   "The Central Supervision Army, please..."

  Before he finished speaking, Niu Jin involuntarily changed his mouth and exclaimed:

   "Zhongjianjun, what's wrong with you?"

  But seeing Master Sima lying on the couch with a towel biting in his mouth, his face was distorted, looking extremely painful.

  Although it is autumn, the weather is not hot, and sometimes it can be said to be cool.

  But Sima Shi's hair on the temples was already soaked, and the whole room could smell the smell of sweat.

   It is conceivable what kind of pain Master Sima is enduring.

   "Take, close the door, quick, don't let the soldiers know!"

  Seeing Niu Jin coming in, Sima Shi immediately exerted all his strength, and gave orders intermittently.

"oh oh!"

  Niu Jin heard the words, and only then did he react. He quickly turned around and closed the door, and then walked quickly to the bed, with a worried expression on his face:

   "Zhongjianjun, how do you feel?"

  Master Sima let go of the towel in his mouth, but he saw several holes had been bitten through the towel.

  The white linen cloth wrapped around the left eye leaked spots of blood.

   It has been several days, and the left eye still has not been able to effectively stop the bleeding.

   It is conceivable what kind of pain he has endured these days.

   "I'm fine, you just said, what happened?"

   Master Sima endured the extremely severe pain and asked tremblingly.

  Niu Jin saw Sima Shi's appearance, and he didn't want him to worry.

   But in the face of such a major event, he is not qualified to make a decision, let alone dare to hide it from Master Sima.

  So Niu Jin could only bite the bullet and replied:

   "The Central Supervisory Army, we arranged an outpost in Gaodu City, and sent someone to report that it was Feng thief who had led the army and entered Gaodu City."

   "And judging by the appearance, it is very likely that they will approach the courtyard. What should I do?"

   "Who! Who did you say led the army?"

  Hearing the name "Feng Zei", it seemed that Master Sima immediately forgot about the pain in his left eye.

   But seeing his face suddenly changed drastically, he was so shocked that he immediately sat up halfway with his hands on his hands:

   "Are you sure? Are you sure Feng Zei led the army here?"

   "The scout came to report, it is indeed the banner of Feng, the generals of the thieves, who can lead such a large army, and the surname Feng, there is no one else."

   "Army? How many armies?"

  Niu Jin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "According to current reports, the front army alone has nearly 10,000 people, and the rear army has not yet arrived, and it is said that there are 50,000 people."

   "Fifty thousand?"

   Master Sima didn't know whether it was pain or fright, his voice changed: "Fifty thousand?"

  If it was changed to before, Sima Shi might have no idea about the 50,000 Han army.

  Even when he was in such a dangerous place as Tianjingguan, he was confident, not to mention fifty thousand, even if it was one hundred thousand, he would not be afraid.

  But after two consecutive defeats at Gaoping Pass, he finally understood why he was called fearful of Shu like a tiger when guarding the pass.

  Why would you rather be called a woman by Zhuge Liang than take the initiative to fight.

  Without him, the people of Shu are as fierce as tigers, you have to be afraid!

   Not to mention that it was Feng thief who came this time.

  What is the concept of Feng Zei?

   Back then, he was a character who could break through the army of 100,000 pass with 20,000 partial divisions.

  Now, let alone 100,000 people, or less than 20,000 people, that is more than 10,000 people.

   And still count the remnants who have gathered a lot of defeated soldiers and fled back in the past few days.

   "Feng thief, why did Feng thief appear here? How did he come here??"

   "Didn't Jiang Gong say that Bandit Feng is leading an army and preparing to attack Zhiguan?"

   "How did he get here? Did he fly over?"

  In the past few days, the problem in his left eye has tortured Sima Shi so much that he couldn't sleep or eat.

   But he didn't dare to publicize it, so as not to make the already unstable military spirit even more flustered.

  So I can only bear it silently by myself.

   After so many days, I couldn't eat or sleep well, and the pain was unbearable day and night, and I could force myself to stay conscious.

  This kind of ambition is already extremely rare.

   But it is simply impossible to maintain the calmness of the past under the severe pain.

   It's understandable to be a little more impatient.

  Hearing what the Central Supervisory Army said, Niu Jin couldn't help reminding:

   "The Central Supervisory Army, when we retreated to Tianjing Pass, Jiang Gong sent someone to say that Feng thief retreated from Zhiguan Road, will it be..."

  After being reminded by Niu Jin, Master Sima finally came to his senses:

   "You mean, Bandit Feng withdrew from Zhiguan Road and came to us?"

   "There is only one explanation." Niu Jin also frowned a little sadly, "But this thief Feng came too fast..."

   Master Sima gritted his teeth, gasping for breath: "Feng Zei is good at leading surprise troops on long-distance raids. It has been known for a long time!"

  From then on, when he came out of the mountain to fight for the first time, he became famous for attacking Longguan.

   "This thief is marching slowly on the Zhiguan Road. It turns out that it is simply a cover. I'm afraid it's aimed at us!"

  Recalling Feng Thief's reputation for foresight and foresight, Master Sima deeply suspected that the Han army at Gaoping Pass had been unable to shrink back before, and let himself take it lightly.

   When he was unprepared, he would suddenly attack with surprise soldiers. Wouldn't Feng Zei have planned it long ago?

   Otherwise, how to explain Feng Zei’s hesitation at Zhiguan Road, and his arrival at Gaodu City like flying?

  Thinking of this, Master Sima couldn't help being furious.

  At the same time, an unbearable pain in his left eye suddenly hit his brain, causing him to cry out in pain:

   "Feng thief, **** it!"

  Frightened Niu Jin exclaimed:

   "The Central Superintendent, your eyes..."

  It turned out that the white linen cloth covering Master Sima's left eye was staining blood red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood was still spreading rapidly.

  The wound collapsed again!

  Master Sima couldn't hold on any longer, and suddenly fell on the couch, unconscious.
